Chapter 835: Water Riding Coordination (2)
Before dawn, there was a night when there was no news: "Military Gate, Tian Xiong led a green camp soldier to the direction of Yizhen County." Cao Bianjiao sneered: "Since Tian Xiong, a dog who forgot his ancestors, has come, we can't let him go back today!"
"General Cao, it's still the old tactics. Your light cavalry will attract fake Tartars. The musket cavalry of the king's military gate will harasse the outside world. Once the fake Tartar formation is chaotic, my heavy cavalry will rush up to hit the fake Tartars. If the Tartar formation is disintegrating, they will inevitably be defeated. It is still the light cavalry and musket cavalry that chase the fake Tartars." Han Dashan arranged a combat plan.
Cao Bianjiao immediately clicked the three thousand light cavalry in his headquarters and prepared to attack. Before the light cavalry attacked, he did not take him back and set out first with 150 scattered soldiers. Their mission was to wipe out Tian Xiong's Green Camp horse team so as to prevent the Qing cavalry from escaping back to report the news.
Ye Budou's captain Iron Hammer, led 100 Ye Budou and 150 scattered soldiers to set off. The Huai Army's scattered soldiers were also organized into Ye Budou's organization. Li Guodong changed his uniform to Ye Budou's team. First of all, his military uniforms were all replaced with green spring and summer, and yellow-brown in autumn and winter. Not only people, but also war horses were covered with cloth of the same color as the costumes of the cavalry, and the people and horses were integrated. Needless to say, the so-called scattered soldiers were sharpshooters, and the main weapons used were the Taixi rifled rifles, each of them was equipped with a machete and two hand guns; Ye Budou's equipped with various armor-breaking blunt weapons, throwing weapons, bows and hand guns.
Tie Hammer led 250 elite soldiers to set out first. After walking about five miles, Tie Hammer with a keen sense of smell suddenly shouted: "Stop moving forward! Dismount all! Hide in the bushes!"
One hundred nights, he and one hundred and fifty scattered soldiers and strangled the war horses, jumped off the horses, and quickly let the war horses squat down, and the people also lay on the bushes. The men and horses were all yellow-brown, and they were all integrated with the grass in winter. Even if the Qing soldiers walked past, it was difficult to find ambush nearby.
Sure enough, not long after, a team of about one hundred people in Green Camp horse team appeared in everyone's eyes.
Tian Xiong's Green Camp Cavalry was originally adapted from the Ming cavalry under his command, but Tian Xiong, the former general of the Ming Dynasty, had few soldiers under his command, only more than 7,000 people, and at most, only 3,000 real soldiers. Liu Liangzuo was deceived to attack Douhu City, losing more than 1,000 people. Later, Tian Xiong arrested a group of civilians and supplemented the number of people who lost, making his Green Camp soldiers reach a scale of more than 10,000 people. However, his cavalry was still small. In addition to the more than 200 servants with horses and cavalry, there were another 300 cavalry.
Because Tian Xiong had few cavalry, these green camp horses were never used as combat cavalry, but were used as scouts and whistle cavalry, specifically used to spy military information, peripheral alerts and other functions.
"Strike!" I found that the Qing army was approaching, and the hammer roared.
One hundred people who were not taken away at night rushed to drive the horses and drove the war horses to the Qing army's green camp horse team. One hundred and fifty scattered in two directions and surrounded the Qing army's green camp horse team from both wings.
"Enemy attack!" The Qing army shouted.
"Bang" I saw a sound of gunfire among the Ming cavalry, and white smoke rose from the cavalry formation on both wings. The yelling Qing army groaned, covered the blood-splattered chest and planted a backward onion on the horse's back.
"Minggou's musket was shot far away!" The Qing soldiers of the Green Camp were shocked. A hundred steps away, they actually killed their boss with one gun! And both sides were on the bumpy horse's back. I'm afraid that even the most sophisticated Lumi gun in the Ming Dynasty could not do this?
More than a hundred Ye Busuo rushed towards the Qing army. Before the people arrived, Ye Busuo shot rows of arrows in his hand.
The Green Camp Horse Team had almost no armor protection and were stabbed by arrows. The arrows reached the flesh. The Green Camp Horse Team team was overturned, and the Qing cavalry on the horses were dropped like dumplings.
"Run!" Seeing that the situation was not good, the Qing soldiers of the Green Camp horse team turned their horses, rode their horses wildly, and fled in a hurry.
"Where can the fake Tartars escape?" Tiemao led more than 100 Yebukuan to catch up. The Huai Army's horses that Yebukuan had quickly caught up from behind. Tiemao was the first to shoot a bow and arrow, and one arrow shot a Green Camp cavalry off the horse. The rest of Yebukuan shot long arrows one after another, nailing the escaped Green Camp cavalry to the ground one by one.
Whether it is equestrianism or riding and shooting, the Green Camp Horse Team is not the opponent of the Huai Army. Most of these unsuccessful nights are veterans brought back by Li Guodong from outside the border. They grew up on horseback since childhood. Many of them are Mongolians. Even if they are not Mongolians, they are also from Han shepherd slaves. Riding horses and shooting archery is as simple as eating for them.
The iron hooves were fast, and the cavalry of the Green Camp cavalry who fled in panic could only hear the sound of horse hooves behind them getting closer and closer. From time to time, arrows pierced into their crowds, and fewer and fewer companions were around them.
The scattered soldiers came forward from the two wings. When there were fifty steps left between the two sides, the rifled guns in the scattered soldiers opened fire. The sound of guns roared and white smoke filled the air. In a flash, only a few people were left on the green camp horse team.
The remaining Qing soldiers rode desperately, but the tall horses behind Taixi were chasing closer and closer. The hammer shot an arrow and shot the last cavalry of the Green Camp cavalry. At this point, more than 100 Green Camp cavalry were wiped out, and none of them ran away.
On the road leading to Yizhen, a team of Qing army green camp infantry was advancing towards Yizhen. This green camp Qing army had about 6,000 troops. In addition to the chief general Tian Xiong and his more than 200 servants, there were also several guerrilla generals riding horses. The rest of the green camp soldiers were infantry.
"Master, there is a gun sound in front of us. It seems that our scout whistle was attacked by Mingdo." A Qiang General reported to Tian Xiong.
"Where did the Ming Dog come from? Didn't they all hide in Yangzhou City?" Tian Xiong sneered.
"There are navy troops in Minggou, and they must have come from the navy to cross the river." said Qian Zong of the Qing army.
"There won't be many Ming dogs coming. Let's continue to move forward and go to Yizhen to capture all the young and strong men. The prince will use people to attack the city." Tian Xiong ignored whether there was a Ming army ahead.
The Qing army continued to walk forward for a while, but found that there was a Ming cavalry in front of him blocking the way.
Although the number of three thousand light cavalry is not large, the cavalry is much larger than that of infantry. The three thousand light cavalry are scattered in one stroke, and it looks like a large black area. In the cavalry formation, a big red "Ming" flag flutters in the wind. Seeing the Ming cavalry, a riot appeared among the green camp soldiers.
"Don't be confused, don't be confused, quickly line up to defend the enemy!" Tian Xiong shouted at the top of his lungs.
At this time, only the infantry green camp soldiers cannot run. Where can a person run a four-legged war horse on his legs? If he escapes, he will easily be chased by the cavalry from behind and chased and killed one by one. Only by forming formations to defend the enemy and delaying the Eight Banners masters can the Ming cavalry be driven away.
With Tian Xiong's order and under the urging of officers at all levels, the Green Camp soldiers gradually stabilized, carried off the chariot and placed them in the direction of the Ming cavalry. After the quarrel, the Green Camp soldiers stood in line with spears, but it was obvious that their legs were weak and many people were trembling all over.
Cao Bianjiao pointed forward with a long white wax spear in his hand: "Brothers, prepare and rush!"
"Kill slaves!" The three thousand light cavalry began to run, and the speed of the war horses became faster and faster. The three thousand light cavalry, which were black, was like a metal torrent, heading straight towards the Green Camp Qing army infantry formation lined up in front.
The speed of the ocean horse increased very quickly, starting from three hundred steps away. By the time it was one hundred and fifty steps away, the speed of the war horse had increased to the extreme.
Looking at the cavalry that was crushing up against a rolling iron wall, the Qing soldiers of the Green Camp were already trembling with fear, and some even peeed their pants.
