Chapter 464 Dodo is here
At this critical moment, a Ming cavalry suddenly arrived, and the Ming cavalry happened to be separated by the two wings. The two charge arrows just collided with detours from the two wings, preparing to encircle the Korqin Mongolian light cavalry that the Ming army did not accept at night.
The Ming army had two arrows of attack, each of which had 1,500 cavalry, while the Mongols had only more than 300 people on each wing. The charge of the Ming army's heavy cavalry was like a huge hammer smashing an egg hard, and crashing into the formation of the Korqin light cavalry.
The Mongolians' arrows slashed on the heavy cavalry of the Ming army. The unscathed heavy cavalry of the Ming army rushed to the Mongolians in a blink of an eye. The Mongolian light cavalry, whose horse speed had increased to the highest, had no way to hide. They were hit by the airtight heavy cavalry wall. The fragile light cavalry seemed to hit a copper wall.
A row of Ming army heavy cavalry in front stabbed out, and the horse lances were nailed into the body of the Mongolians with the help of horsepower. The lances of the horse lances bent and bounced straight, bounced backwards. The Ming army heavy cavalry continued to advance, and the heavy war horses in armor hit the short Mongolian horses, knocking the row of Mongolian horses in front to the ground. The heavy cavalry trampled past the falling Mongolian horses, and the trampled war horses turned into pools of meat mud on the ground.
The heavy cavalry, whose remaining momentum was not reduced, continued to advance, and the Mongolian light cavalry in front fell down one after another, with their men and horses. The heavy cavalry stepped on the corpses of humans and horses, and their intestines were broken and their flesh and blood flew everywhere.
Haning, who had just crossed the river, suddenly saw the Korqin people on both wings falling off the horse. He was shocked, but his heavy cavalry had already started charging, and it was too late to slow down and retreat. What's more serious is that there was only a bridge behind the heavy cavalry of the Qing army that could cross the river. If he slowed down first and then turned around and escaped, the speed would not increase, and he would be blocked by the bridge and could only line up to cross the river one by one. In that case, the three hundred cavalry would only be caught up by the heavy cavalry of the Ming army and killed by others.
More than 600 Mongolian light cavalry were simply vulnerable in front of the three thousand Ming army heavy cavalry. In a blink of an eye, all the Korqin Mongolian cavalry were trampled into flesh mud. The Ming army heavy cavalry on both wings immediately closed in the middle, and the unscathed three thousand heavy cavalry rushed up against the only three hundred full-month eight banner heavy cavalry.
"My boys, fight with Minggou!" Haning, who knew that he could no longer escape, pointed his tiger spear forward in his hand, and carried three hundred cavalrymen to launch a suicide charge at the three thousand Ming army heavy cavalry.
The cavalry flowed towards the airtight cavalry wall. Both sides were heavy cavalry, but the Ming army's heavy cavalry, dozens of times the number of people, had the advantage. Three thousand heavy cavalry arranged neatly and tidied up. The cavalry in the front stood a row of eight-meter-long horse lances and stabbed straight at the Qing army.
The heavy cavalry's iron hooves trampled on the frozen land and made a roar like a drum. The heavy cavalry of both sides collided, and the iron tools and armor collided, making a metal collision. Every Qing heavy cavalry holding a tiger gun would face assassination with three to four horse lances. The two sides only met one by one. The heavy cavalry of the Qing army was caught one after another like dumplings. The number of Ming heavy cavalry of the Ming army was dropped.
After all, Haning was a powerful general of the Qing Dynasty. When the heavy cavalry of both sides collided, the soldiers around him were stabbed off the horses by horse spears. However, he waved the tiger spear and pushed away the four or five deadly horse spears that were stabbing him! Then Haning rushed past a Ming cavalry, and the tiger spear stabbed out like a poisonous snake, stabbing the Ming cavalry from the horse's back! Although the heavy cavalry of the Ming army was wearing thick armor, the tiger spear could suffer severe internal injuries even if it could not pierce the thick armor.
The Ming army was stabbed by Haning's shot and immediately flew up from the horse's back, flew backwards, and landed on the cold and hard ground.
Haning had no good ending. The airtight cavalry wall collided with the war horses, and the iron armor collided. The Ming soldiers who collided with Haning were caught, and Haning was knocked down from the horse's back. Then there was nothing. Haning, who was dismissed, didn't even have a chance to stand up. Thousands of horse hooves trampled past him, trampling him to the point of only a pair of armor, and all the internal organs and bones were shattered, and a pool of meat mud was wrapped in the armor.
After the battle, more than 900 Qing troops were wiped out. The elite heavy cavalry under Li Guodong lost only 37 people. The losses of these 37 people were all caused by the heavy cavalry of the Manchurian Eight Banners. Although he achieved a record of nearly 10 to 1 (just compared with the Manchurian Eight Banners, the Korqin Mongols did not count), Li Guodong was still heartbroken. Each of his three thousand elite heavy cavalry was an elite veteran who had been through many battles, and they were all his treasures. It was very distressing to have any loss. Training such heavy cavalry is not an easy task.
"Cleaning the battlefield in one cup of tea, and retreat immediately after cleaning." Li Guodong gave the order.
Han Dashan pointed to the vehicles and food on the other side of the river: "Brother, we have to bring those things from the people back. Before Jiannu could react, we would bring the car back."
Li Guodong asked someone to take the cart back to the military fortress of the Weishou.
The soldiers had just driven the cart and walked less than five miles away. At night, they didn't receive a report: "Report! Five thousand Jiannu are chasing us from behind!"
"It must be when we were fighting with Jiannu, the Jiannu scout cavalry discovered it and went back to report to Dorgon!" Han Dashan said.
Li Guodong said: "Han Dashan, take people back immediately. I will lead two thousand cavalry to the other side of the bridge to break the rear!"
The Jianlan Bridge on the Liangshui River is the most convenient passage from Tongzhou to Gaozhuang. As long as Li Guodong guards this bridge, the Qing army will not be able to get through for a while. If it were to detour, it would take too long. Han Dashan and the others who were driving the car would have retreated back to the military fort.
Li Guodong brought more than 1,500 heavy cavalry of three-eyed guns, five hundred horse-sling cavalry, one hundred god cavalry and one hundred elite soldiers at night, turned around and returned to Jianguan Bridge and guarded the west side of the bridge.
"Scatter the caltrops on the bridge deck, light the fuse, wait until Jiannu approaches within twenty steps before firing the gun." Li Guodong issued a series of orders.
The heavy cavalry dismounted one after another, sprinkled caltrops on the bridge deck, and then ran back, erected shields at the top of the bridge, and all the three-eyed heavy cavalry dismounted as short-range muskets; the heavy cavalry behind them were riding on the horse, and one hundred camel gods were also ready, and when necessary, they used two gods to rush up to blow up the broken bridge.
The two god cavalrymen who were ready to blow up the bridge at any time did not ride camels, but pushed two evacuated. In addition to the thirty kilograms of gunpowder vests, they also brought more than one hundred kilograms of gunpowder bags on each car. Once Li Guodong found that the situation was not good, he would let the two god cavalrymen rush up and detonate gunpowder on the bridge. The two god cavalrymen loaded a total of more than three hundred kilograms of gunpowder, which was enough to blow the bridge away.
Duoduo led the team for more than 5,000 Qing troops this time.
"Prince, Minggou Nikan, opposite the bridge, was guarding the other side. Minggou was holding a three-eyed gun. However, there were hundreds of cavalry and some camel soldiers behind him." A Qing army scout cavalry who had taken the lead to spy on military information went back to report.
"Three-eyed gun? Are these Ming dogs stupid or are they kicked by donkeys? Three-eyed gun? Hahaha!" Duoduo laughed.
All the Qing soldiers laughed. In their eyes, the three-eyed gun was simply a weapon that was too garbage to be trash. If it exceeded thirty steps, it would have almost no accuracy. Generally, the Ming army's three-eyed guns were used to scare people. When they saw the Qing army from afar, they would fire the gun, but they heard a sound. When the Ming army's three-eyed guns were all released, the Qing army rushed forward, and the Ming army had no courage to fight, and they turned around and ran away. As a result, they were chased by the Korqin Mongolian cavalry, and they were killed and wiped out.
"Minggou is still covered with caltrops on the bridge, so our cavalry cannot rush over." The scout said.
"Do you see clearly the Mingdog's flag?" Duoduo asked.
"I can't see clearly in the dark."
