Chapter 959: Decisive Battle at Fenglin Mountain (1)

Sun Chuanting gave an order, and thousands of elite cavalry from the two towns of Nanjing were all dispatched, but these 4,000 cavalry had been resting for two days and had not been used, and they were completely waiting for work!

Zhong Yue personally commanded the Nanjing elite cavalry to rush towards the Manchurian elite cavalry, and the powerful impact, in an instant, cut the charging formation of the Manchurian elite cavalry into two sections, leaving no chance for Zilharang to react at all!

In the distance, Zilharang was shocked, the changes on the battlefield were too abrupt, the cavalry was cut into two ends by the opponent, if one was not careful, it would be broken by others, I really didn't expect that Sun Chuanting had always retained a strong cavalry and had not yet assaulted! This is special, there is no hope of defeating Sun Chuanting, he is lucky not to be defeated, retreat! It is necessary to retreat immediately!

A bad feeling swelled up in Zilharang's heart, and he shouted: "Galu, immediately give an order, the rear army will assault the whole army, meet the front army, once the two armies meet, the whole army will retreat to the east, retreat immediately!" ”

Galu was a little confused, and muttered: "Lord Wang, didn't you, didn't you say that you would not withdraw your troops until dusk?" It's at least an hour before dusk......"

"Bastard! Are you blind? Didn't you see that our cavalry was broken by the elite cavalry of the Ming army? If we continue to fight, it will be difficult for us to get out of the fight, so hurry up, give the order immediately! ”

Zilharang made a quick decision and gave the order.

At this time, the front army launched a surprise attack backwards, the rear army launched a surprise attack forward, and the two sides began to squeeze the two towns of Nanjing Jingcai who cut the Manchurian elite cavalry into two sections, the elite cavalry of Nanjing Qianzhen is good to say, can barely withstand the attack of the Manchurian cavalry, but the cavalry of Nanjing Houzhen is not so strong to withstand the opponent's crazy counterattack, after all, it is now the dying counterattack of the Manchurian elite cavalry, just you were caught off guard, there is no way, now the two sides are fighting head-to-head, Nanjing Houzhen cavalry has to say, It is still weaker than the Manchurian elite cavalry.

Finally, the front army and the rear army of the Manchurian elite cavalry broke through the cutting tactics of the Nanjing elite cavalry and joined together, but, even so, the front army suffered heavy casualties in a short period of time, and patronized the attack on the Nanjing elite cavalry, forgetting that there was a strong enemy behind him, Gao Jie mobilized all the musketeers in the back town of Nanjing, hundreds of musketeers shot frantically from behind, and the unlucky Manchurian elite cavalry was hit like a dumpling and fell off the mount, killing and wounding a large number of people.

Zilharang can't take care of so much anymore, retreat, retreat a moment earlier, one more moment of safety, a quarter of an hour at night, that may be the end of the total annihilation!

Having gathered all his cavalry, Zilharan retreated to the east.

However, how could Sun Chuanting let Zilharang get out so easily? Waving the order flag, the army of the three towns under his command chased down from behind!

Zierharang didn't take Sun Chuanting's army to heart, he was all cavalry, fast, Sun Chuanting was only a few thousand cavalry, too few troops, not enough to threaten himself, the others were infantry, and he couldn't catch up with himself, this time, he escaped alive, there was no difficulty, anyway, the fourth town of the Tianwei Army is still far away from him.

However, Zilharang made a mistake in his calculation this time, he forgot that the thousands of cavalry under Sun Chuanting were the elite of the two-day repair, and the endurance and speed of the war horses were higher than those of the Manchurian elite cavalry, and they could completely stick to the Manchurian cavalry, and the most important thing was that he forgot that the fourth town of the Tianwei Army also had cavalry, and it was three thousand elite cavalry.

As early as the early morning, it was less than fifty miles away from Zilharang's army, such as today it was close to dusk, with the speed of cavalry, most of the day, running out of fifty miles, it was not difficult at all, the reason why this cavalry did not appear on the battlefield was not that people did not arrive, but that people turned to the east side, less than twenty miles away from the battlefield, Fenglin Mountain!

With more than 10,000 remnants of the defeated army, Jierharang retreated to the east in a panic, and just ran out of the twenty miles away, he was blocked by a cavalry - the fourth town of the Tianwei Army!

Deputy General Soldier Qiu Qingquan personally led the elite cavalry at the foot of Fenglin Mountain to block the way of the Manchurian elite cavalry, Li Dingguo is not a fool, it is very clear that once Jierharang gets the news that the green battalion soldiers have been completely defeated and the whole army is annihilated, he will definitely not stay in the area of Taiyuan Qinzhou and wait for his fourth town to besiege it, in that case, he and Sun Chuanting together, the strength of more than 80,000 troops, in the face of Jierharang's elite cavalry of 26,700 people, will occupy an absolute advantage, and Jierharang will only have an ending of defeat.

As a generation of generals, Jierharang will not fail to understand this truth, retiring from the army is his only way out, continuing to advance north into Taiyuan has lost its meaning, and it can't pass, then there is only one direction, that is, to Zhending Mansion, Sun Chuanting defeated Jierharang There is no big problem, but if you want to keep Jierharang's 20,000 cavalry, it is impossible, the combat power of the Manchurian elite cavalry is not covered, Sun Chuanting does not have Tianwei Army under him, but he cannot complete such a heavy task.

Li Dingguo's order to Qiu Qingquan was to cut off the retreat route of Jierharang's eastward advance, and Fenglin Mountain was the choke point on the official road leading to Zhending Mansion.

When Jierharang saw the elite cavalry of the Tianwei Army appear in front of him, his heart was half cold, this time it was really fatal, there was the fourth town of the Tianwei Army in front of him blocking the road, and behind was the pursuit of Sun Chuanting's tens of thousands of troops, if he did not break through the defense line of the fourth town of the Tianwei Army as soon as possible, then Fenglin Mountain would be his burial place!

"Order, the whole army is assaulted, you must kill it!"

Zilharang roared sharply, and with an order, he personally led the elite cavalry to launch a fierce attack on the elite cavalry of the Tianwei Army!

Qiu Qingquan commanded the elite cavalry of the Tianwei army to shoot frantically, more than 500 musketeers opened fire with all their might, and the other cavalry were in full array, holding a low hill in front of the foot of the mountain, even if it was not high, condescending, there was a height of more than ten zhang, the Manchurian elite cavalry faced with crazy shooting, and launched a back attack, which was naturally extremely difficult, and the cavalry was suppressed by the muskets and could not be impacted, and could only advance slowly in the middle of the hill.

Zilharang's eyes breathed fire, constantly urging the army to assault, and the Manchurian elite cavalry once again frantically assaulted, the trapped beasts were still fighting, the fish were dead and the net was broken, and now was the time to fight hard!

Five hundred muskets faced the assault of more than 10,000 cavalry, and when the crazy assault was frantically attacked, after all, the firepower was still insufficient, and the cavalry could not be completely suppressed, however, Qiu Qingquan was not worried, and with one move of the spear in his hand, more than 2,000 elite cavalry directly launched a charge from the top of the hill, taking advantage of the terrain, thundering, and cutting down towards the Manchurian elite cavalry!
