At the end of Ming Dynasty: I, Sun Kewang!Desperate comeback!

A burst of elephant chirping sounded, and the surrounding Qing army horses were suddenly frightened.

No matter how hard the rider controls it, the nature of the horse cannot be suppressed.

For a time, the Qing army's cavalry rioted.

At the same time, more than [-] former army cavalry rushed out from the camp and launched a ferocious attack on the chaotic Qing army.

In an instant, the cavalry of the Qing Army with war elephants as their forequarters gained the upper hand and took advantage of the chaos to kill a large number of Qing cavalry.

"End formation! Form formation!"

Loud roars rang out, and countless green camp generals shouted.

The green battalion soldiers who were attacking the camp saw the menacing advance of the cavalry, and under the organization of the general, they retreated one after another.

Form a formation quickly in the open area to prevent the cavalry from advancing.

If the infantry were not in formation, they would be like lambs in front of the cavalry and be slaughtered wantonly.

Only by relying on formation can we fight against the cavalry.

"Brothers, don't be afraid, fight and retreat at the same time!" Admiral Zuo Biao, Li Benshen, shouted.

Thousands of soldiers and horses under his command formed several square formations.

The middle ones are the generals, the outer ones are the archers and musketeers, and the outermost ones are the spearmen.

A group of cavalrymen approached.

A large number of arrows attacked the Qing army. After a wave of arrows, some Qing soldiers fell down.

However, under the organization of the officers, the phalanx did not collapse.

The archers and musketeers in the phalanx quickly opened fire and fired arrows, and also took away some of the cavalry in front of them.

Unwilling to retreat, this group of cavalry fired several waves of arrows, killing a large number of Qing soldiers.

The Qing army also fired back with bows, arrows and muskets. Outside the square formation, a large number of corpses of soldiers and war horses appeared on the ground.

After several waves of arrows, seeing that there was no gap in the phalanx, the cavalry in front of them had to retreat.

Instead, they went to fight with a small group of Qing cavalry.

Li Benzhen was slightly relieved when he saw this, but before he could express anything.

Tens of thousands of infantrymen swarmed out of the main camp and attacked the Green Camp soldiers from different directions.

For a time, there was chaos west of Zijiang and in front of the camp.

Countless troops from the Qianqian Army and Green Camp were fighting in this open area.

"Something's wrong. If we keep fighting like this, I might have to have a decisive battle with Dhoni!"

On the top of the mountain, Sun Kewang frowned.

His original plan was to take advantage of the failure of the Qing army to attack the camp and let Zhang Sheng lead the cavalry to take advantage of the war elephants to take advantage of the situation.

Who would have thought that as the fight continued, the situation on the battlefield became increasingly chaotic, and the king of the country could no longer control himself.

If this continues, both sides will have to continue to add fuel to the fire, and it will eventually turn into a real decisive battle.

"The intensity of a duel involving hundreds of thousands of people cannot be easily controlled!"

Sun Kewang's face darkened and he had to order:

"Let all the cavalry troops from Tieqi Town and all other cavalry units cross the river, and let the Zhenzhen Town, Sweeping Bandit Town, and Dangkou Town enter the pontoon bridge, and be ready for rescue at any time!"

Soon the dragon flag waved on the hilltop, and Sun Kewang's cavalry trump card - Tieqi Town began to cross the river.

At the same time, the two towns of Sao Kou and Dang Kou moved north along the Zijiang River, preparing to enter the battlefield.

Now Sun Kewang's six infantry towns and more than [-] cavalry with Xiaoqi Town as the core are fighting against the Qing army.

Although the situation at hand is favorable, Dhoni would put all his strength into it.

Then the situation of the war will be reversed.

Even if he didn't want to, Sun Kewang had to invest in Tieqi Town, Sao Kou Town, and Dang Kou Town to refuel.

To prevent Zhang Sheng and others from suffering a loss.

On the battlefield, the roaring cannons began to stop.

As the troops from both sides were fighting together, both the Qing artillery and Sun Kewang's artillerymen stopped bombarding in unison.

To avoid accidentally injuring teammates and affecting morale.

On the battlefield, Zhang Sheng was armored and armed with a large number of cavalry. He annihilated a large number of scattered cavalry of the Qing army along the way.

Dozens of war elephants, under the control of the elephant soldiers, continued to attack.

Although it failed to kill many Qing troops, it frightened a large number of Qing troops and caused great chaos.

For a time, the more than [-] cavalrymen actually had the upper hand, overwhelming the Qing army's [-] cavalry on the battlefield.

At the same time, the six infantry towns of Longxiang, Huben, Yingyang, Baotao, Qianfeng, and Xianden also fought out from all over the camp.

They fought with tens of thousands of Green Camp soldiers and started a fierce fight.

"Your Majesty, the thieves are fierce, why not stay away for a while." Luo Keduo looked at the situation in front of him and said worriedly.

The Qing army's cavalry was counterattacked by the Qingqian army's cavalry in a hurry, and was harassed by war elephants. They no longer had the upper hand.

The green battalion infantry had been attacking the camp for a long time and were exhausted.

Under the counterattack of the six major infantry towns, they have gradually become exhausted.

If we refuse to retreat and continue fighting like this, I'm afraid something big will happen!
  "Prince Ping, what a great opportunity!" Donnie's eyes narrowed and he said solemnly:
  "The Zijiang area has been built like an iron barrel by a hundred thousand Western thieves. If our army were to attack by force, not only would there be heavy casualties, but it is also hard to say whether we can succeed in the end!"

"Now, in order to repel my attacking army, the Western bandits have gone out to fight in the field. This is a God-given opportunity for our Qing Dynasty!"

As soon as these words came out, many Qing army generals around them nodded.

No matter how you put it, field battles are undoubtedly much easier to fight than attacking fortresses.

"What the prince said is absolutely true. Although the Western bandits are fierce, they took advantage of my army's fatigue and gained the upper hand."

"But if the main force of our army is fully committed, we will be able to turn the tide of the war in one go!" Gu Shan'e Zhenming Andali said.

"That's right, we still have more than [-] Eight Banners soldiers, as well as Tan Yi and Tan Hong's troops. If we invest them all, we will definitely defeat Sun Kewang!" Belledulan also agreed.

The Qing army that Doni brought to Hunan numbered [-], excluding the thousands of soldiers and horses that had been lost previously.

Although [-] troops have been invested, Dorni still has more than [-] reserve troops.

This force is indeed a presence that cannot be ignored.

"Your Majesty, let all the Manchu and Mongolian men go up and kill them! I, Zhao Butai, am willing to lead the army to charge and defeat the Western bandits!" Zhao Butai handed over his hand and asked for orders.

"Your Majesty, why are our Eight Banner Heavenly Soldiers afraid of the Western Bandits? If we fight with all our strength, the Western Bandits will be frightened and defeated!" Shang Shan said.

When Doni heard this, his blood boiled, and he had the urge to order the entire army to stud.

However, at this moment, Du Lan hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, it is already after noon. When it gets dark, it will be difficult for the army of one hundred thousand to gather. Besides, Sun Thief still has many soldiers and horses on the east coast."

"If the whole army rushes to kill, if you are not careful, it will cause a huge disaster!"

After hearing this, Donnie quickly looked up, only to find that the sun had begun to set unknowingly.

If the main force of Manchuria and Mongolia were to rush forward, I am afraid that the general would be defeated at night before the battle started.

"Your Majesty! There is something strange happening among the bandits on the west bank!" Another general shouted.

Doni looked again, only to find Sun Kewang's dragon flag waving on the highest hill on the other side.

A large number of troops and horses are being mobilized along the river. "Damn it!" Donnie clenched his fists, his face full of reluctance.

At this time, if the main force of Manchu and Mongolia were sent out for a decisive battle, I am afraid that it would have to be stopped just after it started.

In the dark night, not only is it difficult to gather troops and horses, but also if an accident occurs when Sun Ke hopes to have a reserve team.

That would be a huge rout.

It is really irrational to start a decisive battle with Sun Thief at this time.

"Dulan!" Donnie shouted coldly.

"The end is here."

"You lead [-] cavalry to help the people return to camp. We will fight Sun Kewang another day!"

"Cover!" Dulan accepted the order with his hands raised.

He quickly took the cavalry to meet him.

"My lord, the king just came to charge us for a while to dampen the energy of the Tatars. You see, the brothers have been fighting for so long. Shouldn't we return to camp?" Guo Youming was riding a war horse, panting heavily. road.

Zhang Sheng was not interested when he heard this. He hadn't had enough killing yet. If he withdrew at this time, wouldn't it be an anticlimax?
  "Sir, Tatar reinforcements are coming!"

Another Qianqian army general exclaimed.

Zhang Sheng was shocked and quickly raised his telescope.

But they found that a large number of Qing cavalry were approaching.

"Send the order to set off the smoke, and call the gold to withdraw the troops!" Zhang Sheng shouted and made a decisive decision, ordering his men to retreat.

Soon the cavalrymen in the front army began to break away from the entanglement with the Qing army and began to return to the army under the organization of officers.

At the same time, the infantry who were fighting fiercely with the green camp soldiers also began to stop pursuing the green camp soldiers.

Under the organization of the general, they formed a formation and retreated to the camp.

As the sun set, Sun Kewang and the Manchu and Qing armies gathered separately and left the battlefield.

A big battle ended like a fork in the road, anticlimactic.

Although this battle was huge in scale, both sides suffered few gains and casualties.

The Qing army lost more than [-] cavalry and more than [-] infantry.

Sun Kewang's side lost more than [-] cavalry, more than [-] infantry, and eight war elephants.

Although Sun Kewang did not issue an order for a full retreat, he was afraid of affecting the morale of the army and causing a rout.

And Dhoni also intends to start a decisive battle.

However, under the influence of various factors, both parties finally chose to call it quits.

However, due to strategic advantages, for Sun Kewang, there is no defeat, that is win!
  On the contrary, for Dhoni, if there is no victory, then it is defeat!
  Even more accurately, the Qing army did not have a big victory, even a small victory! As long as they fail to defeat Sun Kewang's main force, they will all face failure in the end!
  After this battle, more than [-] former troops guarded the Zijiang defense line.

As time went by, Dhoni's side gradually fell into a desperate situation.

In the Qing army camp fifty miles outside Ziyang Pass.

A large number of Manchu, Mongolian and Han generals gathered in the big tent.

For several days, the Qing army provoked in front of the camp, but the Jiaqian army chose to guard the defense line and let the Qing army's provocations go unchecked.

This couldn't help but make Donnie feel a chill in his heart, and he felt like a storm was coming.

"Let's talk about it. This is what our army has done now." Donnie spoke slowly, with a hint of fatigue in his words.

"Your Majesty, Sun Kewang's camp is strong. Even if it is breached, we still need to cross the Zijiang River. How about our army attack directly, bypass the camp, and forcefully cross the Zijiang River." Shang Shan said.

After the last war, even if you don't want to bear it.

Doni and others had to face the reality that Sun Kewang's troops were not as fragile as they imagined.

Eighty thousand Qing troops stormed the camp, but not only did they fail to capture it, but Sun Kewang's war elephants and cavalry backhanded him, causing thousands of soldiers and horses to be lost.

With such results, even the Qing generals still believed that they would win the field battle.

But the outcome of the tough battle made Shang Shan and others worried.

"Forcibly crossing the Zijiang River?" Dulan sighed and said, "Chamberle, Sun Thief's camp is difficult to fight, but is the Zijiang River so easy to cross?"

"Thief Sun has many cavalry. If you are not careful, our army will lose a large number of troops!"

Although it is difficult to defend the river, it also depends on who is guarding the river!
  Although Zijiang is long enough, Sun Kewang cannot leave troops to defend everywhere. The Qing army can indeed reach the east bank if it suddenly crosses at one place.

But you have a good plan, and I have a wall ladder.

Even if there is a gap in a line of defense, as long as the defenders are strong enough, they are fully capable of blocking it.

Even if Dhoni can break through a point or even a few points on Zijiang.

But as long as his main force cannot get through it in a short time.

Sun Kewang was able to assemble a large number of soldiers and horses in an instant and directly eat Doni's men and horses crossing the river.

After all, the troops under Sun Kewang were not the Ming army.

The only way for Doni to cross the river is to dispatch all [-] Qing troops and launch a strong attack at the same time.

In this way, many places are attacked, and Sun Kewang may not be able to block it, focusing on his head instead of his back, allowing Dhoni to take the opportunity to gain a foothold on the east coast.

But the prerequisite for this is that the Qing army's combat effectiveness is much higher than that of Sun Kewang.

But after two wars, not only Dulan was worried, Sun Kewang's combat power also worried many Qing generals.

Judging from the performance of Sun Jun in the previous two battles, the Qing army's hope of success is still slim!
  What's more, if the camp on the west bank is not captured, even if Dhoni's main force crosses the Zijiang River.

But Sun Kewang led the main force into the camp, directly occupied the Qing army's camp, and cut off the Qing army's retreat.

Maybe the main force of the Qing army will have to cry without tears on the east bank of Zijiang River!

"Daying, Zijiang, Baoqing! The Sun thief's defense line is as thick as an iron barrel. How can I start?"

Donnie stared at the map and sighed.

A pessimistic mood spread within the tent.

The strong camp, the broad Zijiang, and the reinforced Baoqing, these three things must be broken through by the Qing army in order to completely disintegrate Sun Kewang's Zijiang defense line.

If not.

The camp is in hand, Dhoni is in the throat.

The Zijiang River is not broken, and Doni sighs when looking at the water.

Baoqing stands tall, but it is difficult to enter with the baggage baggage.

Even if Sun Kewang only had Baoqing in his hands who could cut off the main road, it would be difficult for the Qing army to transport the baggage.

Now that he has all three in his hands, Sun Kewang is truly as stable as Mount Tai.

This made Donnie, who couldn't even take down the main camp, couldn't help but feel sad.

"Your Majesty, the Western bandits are very powerful, and the Zijiang defense line of the Sun bandits is really difficult to capture. It is better for our army to go north, either through Changde or Changsha. In this way, the [-] troops in the hands of the Prince can still be preserved. "

"We can also keep the main force for the Qing Dynasty." Bashan sighed and spoke slowly.

After two battles, Gushan Ezhen, who had personally experienced the combat power of the front army, had no hope of breaking through the Zijiang defense line.

In this case, we can only take a detour to avoid this solid line of defense. (End of chapter)
