Chapter 1005: The Decisive Battle of Huai'an (7)
With so many Tianwei troops and the Jingying rushing up, as well as four thousand musketeers, once they were entangled, it would be impossible to get rid of them easily. Unless, now the Manchurian army throws away all the grain and grass baggage, and then goes into battle lightly, without the drag of the baggage, it is possible to get rid of the Beijing camp and the Tianwei army.
It's just, is Tan Tai willing to do it? Even if you are willing, what will you do in the future? In the future, even if he returns to Shandong, he will still have to fight with the Tianwei Army, compared to the Beijing camp, the combat power of the Tianwei Army is more terrifying, if there is no artillery and ammunition, it will not be the opponent of the Tianwei Army.
"Grandma's, fight, give the order, the whole army stops advancing, turns around, and launches a counterattack against the Ming army, let's repel them first!"
Tan Tai gritted his teeth, at this time, he could only fight to the death, and completely hurt the Ming army behind him, so that it was possible to retreat, if he had been pursued by the Ming army like this, the threat of their thousands of muskets Manchurian army was too great. Wu Sangui and Guan Ning Tieqi couldn't count on it, so they could only rely on their Manchurian elite cavalry to fight to the death!
Tan Tai gave an order, the army turned around and rushed towards the Beijing camp and the Tianwei army again, Tan Tai's approach was really good, at least, the musket battalion in pursuit, the formation was no longer as tight as when it was defended, once the cavalry really arrived in front of the musket battalion, it would bring a devastating blow to the musket battalion!
And now, the Ming army is facing such a problem, the Beijing battalion is a new army, although the training is good, but there is a huge difference between actual combat and training, in the pursuit, the musket battalion formation inevitably appeared chaotic, seeing the Manchurian elite cavalry rushing over, the musket battalion is now a little nervous, have stopped and began to shoot, however, patronizing the shooting, but forgot to form a formation for platoon shooting, such shooting, there is no unified command, the deterrence brought to the cavalry is naturally a significant decline!
Soon, the Manchurian cavalry advanced in front of the musket battalion, and once it was broken into by the cavalry, it was a disaster for the musket battalion!
The soldiers of the musket battalion were all a little panicked, but now there was no large number of infantry guarding them, so they could only shoot desperately to stop the advance of the cavalry!
Not far away, Xia Wanchun's anxious cold sweat had already come out, wiped it, I didn't expect that the Manchurian elite cavalry would counterattack at this time, this is miserable, what should I do? What to do?
Or Yang Chengzu has been a great enemy for a long time, and reacted quickly, with an order, the Tianwei army squeezed from the two wings to the middle, and intercepted the Manchurian elite cavalry, but at this time, rushed up from the side, intercepted the Manchurian elite cavalry, and the Manchurian elite cavalry that hit up the hard steel, even if it was the Tianwei army, it would definitely not take advantage!
The infantry of the Tianwei Army was suppressed by the Manchurian elite cavalry, and they could only support it hard!
"Xia Wanchun, are you a dead man? And not let the musketeers retreat temporarily? The order was given, and the Beijing camp immediately pounced on it to withstand the attack of the Manchurian elite cavalry! ”
Zhu Jie on the side shouted loudly, sighing secretly in his heart, Xia Wanchun is still too tender, such a tragic battlefield, the reaction and response are undoubtedly half a beat slower than a veteran like Yang Chengzu, if you want to fully mature, it still takes a period of experience.
Xia Wanchun woke up suddenly, and hurriedly ordered the musketeers to retreat, and ordered the infantry of the Beijing camp to begin to rush forward, and finally assisted the Tianwei army to withstand the impact of the Manchurian cavalry, and the two sides once again fell into a tragic melee, this time, the Ming army suffered a little, and the best way for the infantry to face the cavalry was to be based on defense, and then launch a counterattack, but now in the process of pursuit, they encountered the Manchurian cavalry's return horse gun, and suffered a lot of losses, fortunately, Zhu Jie and Yang Chengzu are both generals, After a period of fierce fighting, the situation was finally stabilized.
Wu Sangui watched the battle in the distance, and had to marvel at the ferocity of the Manchurian elite cavalry and Zhu Jie's quick response, the changes on this battlefield were too fast.
"Lord Tan, you should have given such an order a long time ago, Manchurian Jing rode out of his horse and immediately suppressed the Ming army, hehe, the lower officials admire it......"
Tan Tai glared at Wu Sangui fiercely, and shouted, "If your Guanning Iron Cavalry is at the top, we will have rushed out of twenty or thirty miles by now!" Well, now that we have no points, we are entangled again! Hey! ”
Wu Sangui didn't speak again, thinking to himself in his heart, saying that these are all nonsense, Lao Tzu's Guanning Iron Cavalry elite has been lost, if it wasn't for the Daimyo's ambush by Xu Yifan in the first battle, where would he be so cowering? The combat power of my Guanning Iron Cavalry elite is not inferior to your two red flags and two blue flags!
It's just that Wu Sangui just thinks about it, but he doesn't dare to say it on the surface!
The two sides fell into a fierce battle, Zhu Jie was not annoyed by the change just now, but was a little excited, the best situation is that he will entangle the Manchurian army, as long as they are entangled, at the critical moment, Song Jiaxing's army attacked, just to stab the Manchurian army in the back, now, Song Jiaxing is about to attack, right?
Zhu Jie was thinking about it, Song Jiaxing had already gathered all the cavalry and started to kill from Beicheng!
The 3,000 Tianwei army cavalry and 3,000 Beijing cavalry, a total of 6,000 people, including 1,000 Tianwei cavalry equipped with muskets, are so strong that they can definitely overpower the Manchurian cavalry.
Song Jiaxing got Zhu Jie's order, has been watching the situation on the battlefield at the head of the city, just at the beginning, the Beijing camp musket battalion repelled the Guanning cavalry, and then the Manchurian elite cavalry turned back again to kill a back horse pistol, the Beijing battalion was caught off guard, suffered a small loss, and now under the command of Zhu Jie and Yang Chengzu, the elite of the Tianwei army has withstood the offensive of the Manchurian elite cavalry, and dragged the battle into a bitter battle again.
It's noon, and it's the best chance to attack!
Song Jiaxing led six thousand cavalry from Beicheng with Fang Tian's halberd in his hand, and went straight behind the Manchurian army, like a sharp sword, fiercely inserting into the position of the Manchurian elite cavalry!
Now there are still at least 30,000 Manchurian troops on the battlefield, constantly exerting maximum pressure on the Ming army's Beijing camp and Tianwei army's infantry, trying to repel it, but I didn't expect that at this time, 6,000 cavalry came out of Huai'an City and stabbed the Manchurian army fiercely!
Six thousand cavalry, in terms of quantity, is not a lot, and the combat power of the cavalry in Beijing is also limited, but behind the scenes, there is a tiger and wolf division like the elite of the Tianwei Army, six thousand cavalry rampage, in the blink of an eye, the Manchurian army was taken by surprise, and the rear army suddenly collapsed!
