Chapter 309
On the official road from Ruzhou to Longmen, the sound of rolling horseshoes shook the ground.

Three thousand Han troops were riding the white flag, galloping forward on horseback, and nearly three thousand Wei army horse troops were chasing after them. In an instant, the two men and horses ran for more than thirty miles.

The cavalry of the Qing Army were hunted down by Xuanhuying for a while, and some cavalry fell off their horses from time to time, but after Shen Zhixiang came back to his senses, the situation changed.

Relying on the more skilled equestrian skills of the Qing army, coupled with the fact that the cavalry turned their heads and shot arrows from time to time, Xuanhuying did not dare to chase too close, leaving a gap of more than two hundred steps between the two sides.

At this time, [-] miles away from Ruzhou, Wang Guangtai led [-] infantry troops and had already formed a formation in the middle of the road.

Ruzhou is mountainous, with undulating hills and forests. Both sides of the official road are low hills and trees are everywhere. Although the infantry can walk, it is not conducive to the passage of the cavalry. If the cavalry wants to escape, the best route is to take the flat official road. road.

When attacking Ruzhou, Gao Yihuan adopted the method of besieging three and missing one. He knew that the defenders in the city, especially the soldiers of the Eight Banners, would not use up unnecessary waste when the city fell, and would inevitably break through to the north, so outside the city gate Heavy soldiers were ambushed.

In addition to Wang Deren's 3000 people guarding the road in Luti Mountain in the north, he also asked Wang Guangtai to set off before dawn and wait forty miles north of Ruzhou City.

The reason for choosing this distance is that after the cavalry has galloped for forty miles, both the man and the horse will get tired.

At this time, 3000 people blocked the attack on the official road, followed by cavalry led by Xu Heihu and Hu Dawei in pursuit, and they were bound to wipe out the Tatar soldiers in Ruzhou.

After the Qing army entered Henan, they committed all sorts of crimes, and the soldiers of the Wei army were already full of anger.

On the official road, a flag fluttered with the wind. Wang Guangtai rode a horse and stood under the banner, holding a big knife, motionless, and his cloak was blown by the wind, and his murderous aura spread across the army formation.

At this time, two thousand soldiers were placed in a horizontal formation in the middle of the road. The soldiers placed horses and obstacles in front of the formation to block the road.

More than ten Franco cannons were placed in front of the formation, and the gunners were busy loading, adjusting the positions of the cannons, lighting the torches and standing aside.

The spearmen in black armor lined up in six rows, standing like Lin's spears, the heads of which were shining coldly.The gunners in red armor stood behind them.

At this time, the military academy, wearing iron armor and holding a sword in his hand, walked past the soldiers, checking their equipment and mental state in turn.

On the low hills on both sides of the official road, there were [-] soldiers on each side, to prevent the Tartars from abandoning their horses and fleeing.

Suddenly the earth trembled, and the military formation was a little commotion, and the military academies immediately shouted and suppressed.

At this time, a brigade in front looked south anxiously, and saw billowing yellow dust in the distance, horses' heads moving, and thousands of cavalry in white armor, rolling in layers along the official road, like It's like a flood peak in the river.

The galloping momentum of the cavalry was astonishing, the brigade's Adam's apple moved, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and immediately hurried to the rear, came to Wang Guangtai's horse, and clasped his fists to report: "General, the Tartars are coming!"

Needless to say, Wang Guangtai has better vision on horseback.He had already seen countless horse heads scrambling forward, and he had no intention of stopping.

Are you kidding me? Thousands of cavalry from the tiger battalion are coming from behind. One of them has a black face with a long axe, and the other has a red face with a knife. They are even more brave. Shen Zhixiang dare not stop.

At this time, Shen Zhixiang, who was galloping, had already seen the infantry of the Wei army blocking the way ahead, and immediately cried out in his heart, "Gao Yihuan, the Zhiniang thief, it's not enough to cover up and kill, and he even set up soldiers to stop him!"

He had already seen the shining spear array in front of him, and he couldn't help scolding Gao Yihuan in his heart, but there was no way, unless he could grow wings, he could only grit his teeth and bump into it.

There was no other way, the cavalry behind was in a hurry to chase, and if others stopped, they would be smashed to pieces by the cavalry who were chasing up.

Shen Zhixiang looked back at the cavalrymen who were chasing up from behind, with a ferocious look on his face, and suddenly let out a roar, "Rush over and smash them away!"

Generally speaking, cavalry would not foolishly go straight into a well-formed infantry. They would first use light cavalry to harass them with arrows. It wasn't until the infantry collapsed under the impact of the horse army that they urged the horses to harvest from behind.

But at this time, Shen Zhixiang had no room to turn around and shoot arrows, and he had no time to scramble. He had to break through the barriers before the Wei army cavalry hit him, otherwise he would be caught between two sides and become "meat sandwiched between buns".

There is no way to attack his waist in this terrain, so he can only play hard, smashing the enemy's front in one round, and then rushing past him.

Fortunately, the masters of the Eight Banners have gone through countless battles, and when they encountered enemy soldiers, they would collapse as soon as they charged.

Although they felt that the infantry blocking the way was different, they still raised their spears and rushed forward without hesitation.

Wang Guangtai was a little excited when he saw the cavalry rolling in, but he didn't want me to be the first person in Wei Wu's army to resist the attack of the Tartar cavalry.

Thinking of this, Wang Guangtai couldn't help feeling a little excited. He immediately raised his hand high, clenched his hand into a fist, and shouted an order, "The enemy is approaching five hundred steps, the artillery bombards, the spearman squats down, the blunderbussman ignites, and the enemy advances fifty steps!" , firing in bursts."

The spearmen in the front row squatted down as instructed. They put the tails of their guns on the ground, held the guns with both hands, and raised the tip of the guns obliquely forward, immediately forming a dense forest of steel.

The enemy cavalry charged directly, and every step forward, there was a row of sharp spears waiting for them.

Six layers of spearmen, spears stabbing obliquely, and the gleaming spear head makes people shudder.

The musketeers in the back lit their matchlocks one after another, held their muskets in their hands, and prepared to shoot.

The Franco gunner had already adjusted his position and stood aside holding a torch, waiting for orders.

At this time, the cavalry of the Qing army came one mile away in a blink of an eye. In the formation of the Wei army, three drums rang, and the entire formation fell silent.

The most important thing for the infantry to fight against the cavalry is a dense formation, and to maintain the formation, it depends on military laws like mountains and prohibitions.

Among the Wei army, as long as the military order is issued, even if arrows are shot all over the sky, they can't move around.

At this time, the cavalrymen of the Qing army clamped down on the horses' bellies one after another, raising their speed to the extreme, and the horseshoes hit the ground with a dull sound. Panting, swallowed a mouthful of saliva one after another, and clenched the weapon tightly with both hands.

At this time, the first few archers in the Wei army lined up and quickly shot a few positioning arrows, and the arrows were inserted fifty steps away from the front of the line.

"General, the enemy has reached [-] paces!" Behind Wang Guangtai, a department chief in charge of observing the distance reminded urgently.

Wang Guangtai immediately waved his hand, "Fire, let's go!"

At this time, the Eight Banners men in the gallop, with years of battle experience, immediately realized that they had entered the range of the Wei army's artillery, so they all leaned on their horses to reduce the probability of being hit by shells.

The sound of rumbling hooves was like thunder, and the cavalry of the Qing army rolled up yellow dust.

The power of the cavalry's impact was like lightning and thunder caught in a sandstorm, rushing towards Wei Jun.

The soldiers of the artillery team in front of the formation saw the power of the cavalry, and the commander of the artillery team showed a ferocious face, and roared angrily, "Let go!"

Seeing the waving of the command flag, the gunner quickly moved the torch closer to the fuse, and immediately a puff of white smoke rose, and sparks whizzed into the medicine room.

"Bang bang bang" the Fran's machine gun made a series of muffled sounds, and a large white smoke rose from the gap between the muzzle and the gun, covering the entire front line.

The soldiers waved their hands to disperse the smoke and dust without checking the results of the battle. According to the usual training, one soldier pulled out the iron bolt, one lifted the subgun, and the other reloaded the subgun that had been filled with ammunition in advance, and then inserted the iron bolt. , the torch approached, and fired another shot.

More than a dozen shells roared out, and immediately splashed a cloud of dust when they hit the ground.

There was a neighing of the horse, and an iron bullet hit the head of the Qing army's horse. The horse fell forward, and the cavalry and horse rolled on the ground together.

Before the cavalry had time to turn over, he was directly stepped on the waist by the cavalry behind him, his spine was broken, his body turned upside down, stiffened, and he passed out with a face full of pain.

Immediately afterwards, the cavalry from behind submerged him like a torrent, and under the trample of thousands of hooves, he became a lump of flesh in a moment, so trampled that his mother didn't even recognize him...
