Back to the end of the Ming Dynasty when the emperor

Chapter 847

Liu Wenxiu is now Li Zicheng's deputy general, and the 5 cavalry of the expeditionary force are under the command of the two of them.The one-eyed general Ma Wannian and the general Lu Xiao served as generals and followed the army.

After Liu Wenxiu got the order, he took the lead, and Ma Wannian and Ma Wannian led 5 cavalry to meet the Qing Army's Green Battalion soldiers. The two sides had a total of [-] cavalry fighting against each other.

No bows, no muskets and artillery.Coming up is hand-to-hand combat, tens of thousands of horses build momentum, shaking the world.

This kind of warfare made the [-] Green Battalion cavalry led by Yue Le think that this is their strong point, and they have a certain chance of winning. They said in their hearts that these Ming troops dared to fight us like this, they really overestimated themselves!

In their impression, although the Ming army had no danger to defend, they should find favorable terrain to pick ditches and dig trenches to arrange positions, and then use muskets or cannons to hold their positions against the enemy and look for opportunities. This is their usual style of play.

In this wilderness and wilderness, charging with horses and fighting them with real knives and guns is tantamount to humiliating yourself!In Yue Le's impression, the cavalry of the Qing Dynasty were invincible, invincible, and invincible in field battles. No wonder he was so confident.

But when the two sides fought, Yue Le realized that he was wrong.First of all, the riding skills of the soldiers of the Ming army are not inferior to them, and the horses are fast and well-trained.Secondly, all the soldiers of the Ming army were as brave as tigers, fearless of death.As a cavalry, these two points are enough.

This is the new army cast by Zhu Yousong. The elites were selected from various armies in various places for secondary training. Li Zicheng, Liu Wenxiu, Ma Wannian, and four well-known instructors from Lu School personally coached them.The blood and sweat of nearly a year on the training ground was not in vain. The combat power of the expeditionary army had already made a qualitative leap, and it was by no means comparable to the old Ming army that was mixed with fish and dragons.

I saw these soldiers of the Ming army, like iron-blooded killers, their eyes flashing with brilliance, in the shadow of swords and swords, sharp blades either cut off the opponent from the horse, or pierced into the opponent's body.People screamed, horses neighed, gold and iron screamed, blood rushed wildly, and there were screams.

Under Yue Le's amazed and inconceivable eyes, in the blink of an eye, the Qing army's [-] Green Battalion had been killed in a mess, and the corpses were strewn all over the field, in a state of chaos, unable to withstand the charge of the Ming army.

Yue Le was furious, how could he be convinced?Charge in person with the personal guards.The chief general charged in person, which undoubtedly boosted morale, and the momentum of the green battalion soldiers rose again.

But fighting is not just based on bravery and morale. When the morale of both sides is there, the most critical determinant of victory or defeat is strength.

At this time, the soldiers of the Green Battalion, in front of the cavalry of the expeditionary army, were exhausted, and they were just running prey. No matter how they bared their teeth and claws, bared their teeth and screamed, they could not escape the fate of being hunted.

Yue Le charged forward personally, but still couldn't change the irresistible situation.Just like two boxers, the weaker side is desperate for life, and it is difficult to sustain it.

Half an hour later, the 3 green battalion was killed and wounded by the cavalry of the 2 expeditionary army. The blood flowed into a river, staining the barren slopes and weeds under their feet.

But Yue Le still refused to admit defeat, and the big knife in his hand went on a rampage, cutting down four soldiers of the Ming army one after another. This may be his most brilliant achievement.

During the melee, Yue Le met Liu Wenxiu, and the two generals fought fiercely, and it was hard to tell the winner.It wasn't until Yue Le saw that none of the guards around him were gone, did Yue Le realize the crisis and fled in defeat.

But was intercepted by the one-eyed general Ma Wannian, Yue Le bullied him with only one eye, but he didn't expect this one-eyed general to be far braver than Liu Wenxiu.At that time, Duoduo was not his opponent. He was chased like a hare and ran all over the street. In order to escape, Duduo had to shoot an arrow, and was shot in the left eye by an arrow. Ma Wannian, who had a long arrow in his eye, could still kill him. Back to Duoduo.

Of course, Yue Le didn't know about these brilliance of Ma Wannian. When Yue Le slashed with his sword, Ma Wannian swung Yue Le's sword away with a clang. , Slashed over with a knife behind his back, Yue Le couldn't dodge and yelled, and was chopped off the horse.

Ma Wannian cut off Yue Le's head with another knife, hung it around the horse's neck, and continued to urge the horse to charge forward...

On Huanxi Ridge hundreds of meters away, Dorgon was watching the battle here.

At first, he had the same idea as Yue Le, thinking that a single charge could crush Li Zicheng's army.But the fact is just the opposite. The Green Battalion didn't last long before they lost their positions, obviously unable to resist the cavalry of the Ming army.

"How is it possible!" Dorgon was stunned, this kind of field battle was definitely their strong point.

Not only Dorgon couldn't believe it, even Sony and Hong Chengchou beside him were surprised.

At this moment, a war horse flew over, and immediately the man got off the saddle, ran to Dorgon, knelt down and reported: "My lord, General Yue Le, Lord Baylor, was killed in battle. Our army could not resist and was defeated. "

In fact, he didn't need to report, and he saw it from a distance. He was condescending, but the melee scene of tens of thousands of horses was too big, and he didn't see the scene of Yue Yuele being beheaded by Ma Wannian.

A general was lost at the beginning, and he was still the elite of their Aixinjueluo family, the grandson of Nurhachi, and in terms of seniority, he was also the nephew of Dorgon.

Yue Le's 3 Green Battalion didn't survive half a stick of incense?Sony and Hong Chengchou were all astonished.

Dorgon didn't care about hurting his nephew, and immediately sent Mongolian fierce generals Timu and Tie Lihe with 3 Eight Banners cavalry to charge from the left and right sides, attacking Liu Wenxiu's ribs, so as to prevent Yue Le's [-] green battalion from being wiped out.

These 2 iron cavalry, the war horses wore iron armor masks, and their hooves were covered with iron sheets. Thousands of horses galloped, billowing dust, like two black dragons, thrusting towards Liu Wenxiu's team from the left and right sides.

At this time, Li Zicheng, who was 200 meters away, was watching the battle with the main force of the expeditionary cavalry. The 3 expeditionary cavalry were on standby to attack at any time.

Li Zicheng and General Lu Xiaoyou are under a big pine tree. This pine tree grows on a small high slope. This small high slope has a local name called Old Castle.

Immediately under a pine tree in the old castle, Li Zicheng and Colonel Lu had a clear view of the situation on the battlefield.

"Master Hou, do you want to send reinforcements at the end?" Principal Lu saluted Li Zicheng when he saw that the Tartars had two more cavalry rushing to join the battle group.

Of course Li Zicheng saw it, he was always paying attention to the situation on the battlefield, this battle was too important for him.

Liu Wenxiu's troops won the first battle, but the Green Battalion in front of them was killed, their helmets and armor were disarmed, and they were defeated.Li Zicheng felt that the team of the Manchu Tartars was nothing more than that, and he was also here when he was defeated.It's a pity to think about it now, it's not that the Eight Banners Army is strong, and that my Dashun Army is no match.It was that when he and Wu Sangui were both wounded, Dorgon, a dog tartar, took advantage of him, and he was a bit useless in defeat.

I also blamed myself for not being fully prepared for that match, and miscalculating the situation, which resulted in the loss of elites, greatly reduced morale, and never recovered.Otherwise... Life is like chess, once you go out, there is no possibility of regretting the game.

But today is different. The cavalry of the Expeditionary Army trained by Li personally must wipe out Dorgon today and avenge the past.

For Li Zicheng, this battle is like revisiting the old places, and he has a special feeling in his heart.He turned it over today, thanks to His Majesty, the opportunity is too rare.In today's battle, one must be calm and composed, and one must not be careless or underestimate the enemy. At this time, his heart was surging, and he saw two reinforcements rushing towards Liu Wenxiu's army like two sharp knives, but the main force could not act rashly.

His target is Dorgon, of course Li Zicheng knows that Dorgon's main force has not yet been dispatched, and the local battlefield cannot affect the overall situation, and he can't press all the troops on it. Victory?
Therefore, Li Zicheng was unusually calm. He shook his head after hearing what Lu Xiao said, and fixed his eyes on the battlefield: "General Lu, don't worry, just wait and see what happens. I believe the deputy commanders are Liu Wenxiu and General Ma Wannian. , can handle it.”
