Chapter 743: Hauge Comes to Help

The impact of the Jingwei in the Western Regions caused the Ming army to lose more than 20 artillery pieces, which was not a heavy loss.

You must know that there are only more than sixty skilled red-clothed gunners in Qin Shuhuai's hands, and although there are spare ones, the accuracy and rate of fire are not up to the level of skilled artillery.

Why are there so few skilled artillerymen? Because Qin Shuhuai didn't have a long time to get the red-coated cannons! There were only 30 cannons, and 10 of them arrived before he set out for the battle, which means that there were only 20 for him to train in the early stage, so it would be good to be able to train so many skilled gunners.

But the price paid by the other party is even greater!

Except for the dozen or so elite guards of the Western Regions, the Mongolian cavalry had completely collapsed at this moment because they had lost the best opportunity to withdraw from the battle circle.

Don't forget, this force is composed of the Jianghe Gang, the Demon Sect soldiers, and the Gansu soldiers who have survived a hundred battles!

They are a pack of tigers and wolves, and they will never leave any chance for the enemy who makes mistakes!

5,000 Mongol cavalry, now more than half of the casualties!

And the Ming army only lost more than a thousand horse infantry and less than two hundred cavalry!

Zhang Xiao was already red-eyed, Qin Shuhuai gave him such an important task of protecting artillery, but he lost a third of it at once, how could he deal with it?

There is one way, and that is to let all these Mongolian cavalry confess here!

At the moment when the Mongolian cavalry should not leave, Zhang Xiao had already commanded the troops to quietly form an encirclement.

At present, about 11,000 or so horse infantry surround 2,500 Mongolian cavalry, and about 2,800 Ming cavalry are cruising around the perimeter of the encirclement.

The encirclement of the Ming army was like a meat grinder, frantically grinding the flesh and blood of the Mongol cavalry.

One after another Mongol cavalrymen fell from their horses and were subsequently stabbed into hornet's nests.

In the artillery positions in the rear, Zhang Xiao was methodically slaughtering.

And the battle ahead is not so easy!

East of Tai'an City.

Meng Wei rushed to the back of Lai San'er's department with 10,000 soldiers and horses to assist in the defense, but before he could set up the formation, he encountered 15,000 ambushes that had just arrived from the other side.

The Tartar ambush soldiers to the east of the city were none other than the young Hauge.

During the first southern expedition, he killed the commander of the Ming army's Santun camp and easily captured the Santun camp. In the second southern expedition, he led his troops to defeat Zu Dashou and easily captured the Santun camp, so he had a psychological advantage in the face of the Ming army.

Haoge was full of ambition, and as soon as he arrived in the city, he came into contact with Meng Weibu, who arrived almost at the same time!

No one has time to set up a formation, so they will fight directly!

Hauge thought he could quickly break through the opponent's defenses, and then cut them into several pieces, piece by piece—as the veterans had taught him, and just use this method against the Ming army.

But now he was surprised to find that although they rushed over with great momentum and the soldiers' butcher knives were also bright, the Ming army was not afraid at all.

I didn't even frown!

As for their formation?

It can be described as not moving at all!

You must know that what he brought is all the elite of the Eight Banners! He can't even shake the opponent's defense!

After resisting a wave of onslaught from the Haoge Division, the Meng Wei Department immediately launched a counterattack!

They work in groups of three, in groups of six, to defend each other and attack together.

After a short period of surprise, the Eight Banners did not show weakness and set off an even more crazy counterattack.

Knives and spears, swords and spears, fluttering, intertwining, and colliding in the light snow!

White snowflakes often turn red in the air before they hit the ground.

One Ming soldier after another fell, but the same Tartar elite soldiers were killed.

Meng Wei's 10,000 troops resisted the 15,000 elite Eight Banners of the Haoge Department, and they may not be able to take any advantage, but they are by no means allowed to be slaughtered.

It's like the life-and-death struggle between a tiger and a lion, if you bite me, I will give you back!

The time when the Eight Banners could easily ravage the Ming Army in the field is long gone!

Look, there is no shortage of good men in Daming!

Look, Da Ming also has sharp minions and violent blood!

At this time, in order to achieve the purpose of flanking the Haoge Department, about 12,000 Tartar soldiers also rushed out from the east gate and swooped down on Lai San'er's defense.

At the forefront were a thousand Tartar Elite Cavalry, who wanted to rush first and disrupt the opponent's formation.

But there is always a price to be paid for rushing first!

When they rushed to a distance of more than two hundred meters from the Ming army's position, they entered the range of the Ming army's strong archers.

Eight hundred rivers help the archers to strike first, they all pull strong bows, who calls them strong as martial arts people?

Whoosh, a salvo, eight hundred arrows, put down fifty or sixty Tatar cavalry.

As soon as the cavalry in front fell and the horses rolled, the cavalry behind was blocked, which was inevitable.

In this way, the cavalry charge was slowed down.

This is normal, but in front of this Ming army, it is very deadly.

Now they are only a little more than a hundred meters away from the position of the Ming army, and their speed has decreased!

As a result, the Jianghe Gang's cottage Fire Banner and Qingshui Banner can go crazy to their heart's content!

There were 300 Fire Flags and 300 Clear Water Flags in Lai San'er's team, and Qin Shuhuai had equipped him with so much because he wanted him to repeat the new tactics he had discovered when he had stumbled upon the attack on Yongping City - throwing thunderbolts and spraying green Gongshui on the battlements on high platforms.

I didn't expect it to be crooked.

The Flame Banner is the first to strike!

300 Flame Flags are 300 thunderbolts thrown in one round, and the power is not less than 300 Franc cannonballs, and the accuracy is much higher than that of cannonballs!

One by one, the fuse-lit thunderbolts drew graceful arcs and headed towards the densest place of the Tartar cavalry as if they had eyes!

Boom, boom, boom! The sound of explosion was like spring thunder, and each explosion made the earth splash, and the splashed dirt was mixed with stumps and heavy blood mist!

The violent explosion not only blew up the Tartar cavalry on their backs, but also frightened the horses, and many horses ran around.

On one side the horses were running around, and on the other side there were a pile of corpses of horses and soldiers lying on the ground, so how could the cavalry still rush up?

can only get slower and slower, and some of the cavalry's war horses and even regimental battle circles make him a live target!

Boom! Boom!

Explosions seem to be everywhere!

Whoosh!

There are as many bows and arrows as locusts!

One by one, the Tartar cavalry has not yet rushed to the Ming army, and they have all fallen!

But they had an amazing will, and after a short period of confusion, they quickly adjusted again, and scattered the formation of the super Ming army and rushed over.

It has to be said that the Tartar cavalry has amazing qualities!

At the same time, the archers of the Tartars in the rear also exerted their might, and the area to be cared for was naturally the Flame Banner.

These treasures of the Flame Banner, Qin Shuhuai is naturally the focus of defense. Almost at the same time that the opponent's archers had just left the city (Lai San'er's department was 500 meters away from the city wall, and all the archers at the head of the Tartar city were useless), more than 300 shield soldiers were already standing next to the Flame Banner.

The Tartar archers hurried into range, and as soon as they released their arrows, a large shield was immediately raised!

The Flame Banner was almost undamaged!

However, this managed to suppress the firepower of the Flame Banner, and made the charge of the Tartar cavalry much smoother.

When they entered the fifty-meter zone, they confidently and angrily raised their sabers.

Now, it was the turn of the Qing Shui Banner hidden in the crowd.

They are ready for a long time.
