The Ming army and the Manchurian elite cavalry are compared to archery, which is naturally a small thing, and even the Tianwei army is not the opponent of the Manchurian elite cavalry and archery, let alone the Kaifeng town soldiers who have just formed the army?

Although the sky feather arrows caused a lot of casualties to the Manchurian cavalry, but still could not stop the pace of the Manchurian cavalry, after all, it was not a musket, it was hit either dead or wounded, the lethality of the feather arrows was much smaller, for the fierce Manchurian cavalry, the Ming army's feather arrows were just a piece of cake, even the three-eyed eye guns and bird guns could not stop the Manchurian cavalry from advancing, let alone bows and arrows?

In an instant, the Manchurian elite cavalry had already rushed to the front of the infantry of Kaifeng Town, and launched a fierce assault towards Kaifeng Town!

Kill!

Kill!

Kill!

The Manchurian elite cavalry roared and rushed over one by one, and the powerful impact made it difficult for the infantry in Kaifeng Town to resist at all.

Liu Fangliang repeated his old trick, putting the elite at the rear, and most of the several lines of defense in front were recruits who had not undergone much training.

It's just that now it is different from the battle of Caozhou, the battle of Caozhou, there are only 3,000 Manchurian elite cavalry, and the strength of Kaifeng Town is full of 15,000 people, and they are prepared, the victory is in hand, and the courage of the infantry is naturally enough, and it is Kankan to block the assault of the Manchurian elite cavalry, but this time, the Manchurian elite cavalry on the opposite side is full of tens of thousands, and this strong force alone, the murderous aura that soars to the sky, is enough to deter these recruits in Kaifeng Town. Straight to tear the front infantry line open!

One by one, under the iron hooves of the Manchurian elite cavalry, the infantry was panicked and retreated, and there was no power to fight back!

Liu Fangliang and Yuan Zongdi's ability is not bad, but after all, it has not been a month since they controlled Kaifeng Town, and they don't have enough understanding of these recruits, even if they have a countermeasure in mind, it is difficult to command them at this time.

In less than a moment, the first line of defense was high, and in two quarters of an hour, the second line of defense was broken, and in half an hour, the three lines of defense in front all collapsed, leaving only two lines of defense composed of elites in the rear!

Liu Fangliang and Yuan Zongdi's eyes were split, it was too cruel, this is the gap between Kaifeng Town and Manchuria, I don't know if I don't fight, I don't know if I dozen, once the Manchurian cavalry launched a fierce attack, and then on the plain, it is simply irresistible! Not to mention the new army of Kaifeng Town in front of him, even the elite cavalry of the peasant army led by himself at the beginning, he will definitely not be able to stop the opponent!

"Lao Liu, it's not okay to fight like this, if you continue to fight like this, before it gets dark, the whole army will collapse! We just led the army to battle, and the whole army was wiped out, but I'm sorry for Brother Li Yan who recommended us out of the mountain in Nanjing! ”

Yuan Zongdi said astringently.

Liu Fangliang shook his head bitterly and replied: "There is no way, retreat, retreat immediately, fifteen miles to the north is Fan County, we rely on Fan County, with the help of the city wall, we may be able to stabilize the battle situation......"

Yuan Zongdi said in a deep voice: "Give me all the cavalry, and leave three thousand infantry to me, I will continue to hold them back, you retreat towards Fan County with all your strength, deploy on the spot, fast, slow movements, we won't be able to go!" ”

When the two brothers followed Li Zicheng, they encountered a lot of defeats, and when they fought with Sun Chuanting, Hong Chengchou and Lu Xiangsheng, they often suffered defeats, and escaping for their lives was naturally a first-class skill, this time was not the time to be ruthless, retreat, and it was important to preserve their strength, once Kaifeng Town collapsed, then Southwest Lu would no longer be able to contain the strength of Manchuria's elite cavalry!

Liu Fangliang didn't talk nonsense, and with an order, the five thousand elite forces behind, plus an infantry, retreated frantically towards Fan County, run, first retreat into Fan County!

This time, Yuan Zongdi had hundreds of cavalry in his hands, plus 3,000 infantry, although the strength was still far inferior to the Manchurian elite cavalry, but here he desperately blocked and blocked for half an hour, which could barely be supported, fifteen miles away, half an hour was enough to ensure that the army ran back to Fan County!

But where did it take half an hour? Before half an hour, Yuan Zongdi couldn't support it, and there were less than a thousand people left on the foot cavalry around him, and he could no longer resist it, and retreated frantically to the rear, and retreated into the county seat of Fanxian County.

Manchurian elite cavalry followed, and immediately launched a fierce attack on Fan County, fortunately, Liu Fangliang and Yuan Zongdi are not mediocre talents, now backed by the county seat of Fan County, one by one soldiers climbed to the head of the city, relying on the city wall, even if the city wall is short, Manchurian elite cavalry does not want to jump directly from the city to the city, it is almost impossible, more than a zhang high city wall, four or five meters, even if the war horse jumps with all its strength, soaring into the air, can not guarantee the safety of the city, and even has not crossed over, it will be pierced by the soldiers in the city, and the city head will be killed!

Three waves of fierce attacks were launched in succession, and He Luohui's elite cavalry could not shake the county seat of Fanxian County, so they had to return with hatred, there was no way, the attack was too hasty, and they did not carry any siege equipment and artillery, how to break through the city defense? If you want to break through the city defense, the Manchurian elite cavalry will definitely pay a huge price, and the gains outweigh the losses!

He Luohui led the army back to Yanggu County, above the city, Yuan Zongdi and Liu Fang appeared Gu Wuyan, this battle was too miserable, and finally knew why Xu Yifan fought so hard in the Daimyo Mansion and Weihui Mansion, the two of them have always believed that with Xu Yifan's command ability, even if they can't defeat the Manchurian elite cavalry, at least they can be evenly divided, and they will not fall behind, and now they have seen the strong combat power of the Manchurian elite cavalry, and the two of them finally know that it is not that Xu Yifan is clumsy, but that they really can't win the battle, and the Manchurian elite cavalry is too strong!

From the end of the battle, it was only two hours, just two hours, the cavalry of Kaifeng Town was almost wiped out, a cavalry battalion of more than 1,000 people, now there are only more than 200 people left, as for the infantry casualties, it is even greater, 13,000 troops, now there are only 8,000 people left, after a battle, the casualties are nearly half! Even Yuan Zongdi was slashed twice by the Manchurian elite cavalry, and the injury was not light!

Such a defeat is too rare, Liu Fangliang and Yuan Zongdi want to cry without tears, how can they explain to Lord Futai? How do you explain to the Overseer? How to explain to Li Yan? It's embarrassing, Kongzi claimed to be the top five famous generals who broke into the camp that year, and in just two moments, the cowhide was completely blown out......

"Lao Liu, what should I do?"

Yuan Zongdi said astringently.

"What else can I do? The defeat is like a mountain, please ask Lord Futai and Master Inspector for guilt......"
