Chapter 1007: The Decisive Battle of Huai'an (9)

"If you can't rush over, you have to rush! If we can't rush over, let's all wait here to die! ”

Tan Tai doesn't care what excuse Kui Hai has, he can't rush over, no one wants to live, the Tianwei army behind still has more than 10,000 troops, there are still 20,000 people in the Beijing camp, and the Ming army in front of him also has 20,000 troops, and its strength has surpassed the current Manchurian army, the most terrifying thing is that this Ming army still has an elite main force like the Tianwei army, as well as countless artillery rockets, and even countless muskets!

Once you are completely surrounded, you will really have to hate on the spot!

Tan Tai gave an order, and all the cavalry gathered again and began to pounce on the Jingying army!

"Boom, boom, boom......"

This time, Zhao Zhenghang did not hesitate to use the artillery battalion behind, and all forty artillery pieces were put into the bombardment, and one shell after another smashed down, and smoke and dust were everywhere!

It's artillery again......

Tan Tai was about to cry, there were enough eighty artillery pieces from the Tianwei Army and the Beijing Camp alone, and now there were dozens of artillery pieces here, but it was really fatal......

Charge, charge!

Under the intensive blows of artillery and muskets, one by one the Manchurian cavalry fell from their horses or were smashed into meatloaf by cannonballs, which was miserable!

However, it is easy to break through the resistance of 6,000 cavalry, but it is difficult to break through the resistance of 20,000 soldiers of the Beijing battalion, and there are only four musket battalions, which are lined up at the front of the position, and the distance between the east and west is a full three or four miles, not giving the cavalry any chance to approach the position at all!

In less than a quarter of an hour, behind him, Song Jiaxing and the elite cavalry of the Tianwei Army and the cavalry of the Beijing camp caught up again!

Under the command of Song Jiaxing, the five or six thousand cavalry did not attack directly from behind, but chose to outflank the two wings in a detour, and launched an attack on the Manchurian elite cavalry from both wings, and sealed the two wings of the Manchurian elite cavalry with the Jingying cavalry of Cha Xuan!

Tan Tai roared constantly, personally leading the elite forces to storm the defense line of the Beijing infantry, maybe the Manchurian elite cavalry can break through this defensive line, but this is definitely not something that can be broken through in one or two hours, and the Manchurian elite cavalry is not yet strong enough to be like this!

In the blink of an eye, it was a fierce battle for two hours, the Manchurian elite cavalry was attacked by the Ming army on three sides, and the casualties rose sharply, even Tan Tai was injured in the arm by a stray bullet, and the blood did not stop, and he had to cut off the rotten flesh on his arm, there was no way, Tan Tai knew very well that the lead bullet of this musket was poisonous, and the damage to the human body was too great, far more than the bullet itself......

However, this is not the worst blow, the worst blow comes from the arrival of Zhu Jie's army two hours later!

Yang Chengzu and Xia Wanchun led the Tianwei Army and the Beijing Battalion to gallop all the way from behind, two hours, ran out for more than 20 miles, and finally caught up with the Manchurian Elite Cavalry, and launched a fierce attack on the Manchurian Elite Cavalry from behind, four musket battalions, at the same time, and once again inserted a knife in the back, not only that, the artillery battalion and rocket battalion of the Beijing Battalion in the rear rushed up behind, and they were also put into battle!

This time, the Manchurian elite cavalry was completely in a desperate situation, if it was only the Ming army besieged on three sides, Tan Tai still had the confidence to break through from the front, after all, the opponent's strength was almost the same as his own, and he could even have a slight advantage, but the arrival of the Beijing camp and the Tianwei army behind him completely cut off his hope, and there was no hope at all!

Song Jiaxing was too cunning, two thousand Tianwei army elite cavalry plus one thousand lancers held the left flank of the Qing army, and the right wing of the Qing army was handed over to Cha Xuan, and the three thousand Beijing cavalry of Cha Xuan plus the three thousand Beijing cavalry brought by Song Jiaxing, five or six thousand people, blocked the right wing of the Qing army, forming a huge cage, just blocking, but did not launch a fierce attack, leaving the opportunity for the onslaught to the Beijing camp and Tianwei army behind!

This time, the Manchurian elite was completely trapped in a small space within a radius of less than four miles, with eighty or ninety artillery pieces concentrated in front of and behind them, plus fifty rockets, constantly bombarding this area, the flames soared into the sky, the smoke of gunpowder was filled, and the Manchurian elite rode like ants on a hot pot, constantly impacting back and forth, trying to find a way to escape, but where is it so easy?

Under the cover of artillery fire, the four musket battalions rushed straight up, this time Xia Wanchun personally commanded the musket battalion to sit in charge, this time Xia Wanchun became smarter, commanding the four musket battalions to advance alternately, rather giving up the speed of advancement, but also to ensure the completion of the formation, slowly advancing, shooting in turns, the Tianwei army behind him was just following, constantly advancing towards the position of Manchuria, compressing the space of the Qing army smaller and smaller!

In order to be able to encircle and annihilate the tens of thousands of Manchurian elites in front of him in one fell swoop, Zhu Jie has spent a lot of money, and in several battles, he used more than 30,000 shells, millions of musket bullets, and 20,000 rockets.

If the silver is gone, you can earn it again, but sitting back and watching the Qing army grow bigger and bigger step by step, that is something that Zhu Jie can't tolerate, no matter how much the price is, he will wipe out the Qing army in front of him in one fell swoop!

The two sides fought fiercely from dusk to the afternoon of the next day, Zhu Jie did not pause at all, and attacked for two days and one night, at this time, the soldiers of the Ming army, especially the Beijing camp, were already tired to the extreme, and the consumption of physical strength, spirit, and will on the battlefield was too terrifying for the soldiers' physical strength, spirit, and will, not to mention the fledgling Beijing camp, even the Tianwei army fought for a long time in a row, and it would be exhausted, and even some soldiers would fall into madness because of continuous killing, not to mention a group of recruits in the Beijing camp.

Of course, the worst thing is not the Beijing camp, at least the soldiers of the Beijing camp are behind the god-like emperor in their hearts to boost morale, the worst is now the Manchuria elite, the Manchurian elite cavalry since Zhu Jie came, has never won a battle, even the battle has been defeated, even the commander has been killed, now there are two times surrounded by the Ming army in the middle, besieged by the Ming army for a whole day and a night, the spiritual will of the Qing army has already collapsed, everywhere is the howl of fear, if it is not Tan Tai is constantly suppressed, I'm afraid that the Qing army has already begun to surrender in large numbers.

"Almost!"

Zhu Jie watched the battle situation on the battlefield from a distance, and said softly: "Come on, give orders to Song Jiaxing, Cha Xuan, Xia Wanchun and Zhao Zhenghang, all departments will launch a full-scale siege, give you the last two hours, before dark, completely annihilate the Qing army in front of me!" ”
