Chapter 845

Seeing that the elite Eight Banners warriors under his command were stabbed into meat skewers by horse spears one after another, they were knocked away by horse armor on the head of the war horse, and trampled into meat mud by horse hooves, Shuoerhe raised a tiger spear in grief and stabbed at a Ming cavalry rushing towards him. The Qing army's tiger spear was not as long as a horse spear. Before Shuoerhe's tiger spear stabbed the Ming cavalry, the Ming cavalry's three horse spears stabbed the war horse under Shuoerhe's crotch at the same time. The war horse made a sad neighing sound and flew out back. Shuoerhe was also very powerful in riding and martial arts. Before the war horse fell, he jumped up from the horse's back and stabbed a Ming cavalry with one shot.

The speed of the Ming army's war horses also gave Shuoerhe a powerful force, and the cavalry was pierced by the tiger spear. But Shuoerhe had nowhere to hide in the air. At the same time, two horse spears pierced into his body, skewed him into human flesh in the air.

More than 3,000 Eight Banners heavy cavalry, whose speed had increased to the extreme, were like paper-patterned by paper, and were hit and flew by war horses and trampled into meat paste by war horses. In a blink of an eye, the three thousand Eight Banners heavy cavalry were wiped out.

There were still seven thousand Man Eight Banners soldiers who dismounted as heavy infantry or archers. Under the fierce bombardment of the Ming Navy's naval naval guns, more than one thousand people had been lost, and more than five thousand were left.

Nikan stopped the Eight Banners soldiers who were shooting at the Ming Navy and ordered them to form formations to defend the enemy. Otherwise, the Ming heavy cavalry would rush up, and the more than 5,000 Eight Banners soldiers would be a flock of sheep. When the infantry without formation was facing the heavy cavalry charge, they would be slaughtered by the cavalry one-sidedly.

Seeing the formation of the Eight Banners soldiers, the heavy cavalry of the Ming army ran for a few steps, then stopped to rest and restored their horsepower.

The warships on the river surface on both wings fired fire at the Qing army unscrupulously. The Qing army was sandwiched in a narrow area with a width of less than 500 steps, and was under the fierce artillery fire of the navy. Every round of artillery shells flew, a burst of blood mist in the crowd, and countless Eight Banners soldiers fell down. The Ming army's dragon cavalry and scattered soldiers continued to ride forward, firing guns and shooting outside the range of the Qing army's infantry bow. After one round, they rode on horseback and turned around and left, then hid behind the heavy cavalry to load bullets. After loading, they turned back to shoot.

"Get on the horse and rush!" Nikan shouted.

Although he knew that the Ming army was powerful, Nikan had no choice but to do so. If he didn't rush, the remaining more than 5,000 people would probably be killed by naval guns.

First, they were bombarded by ship guns, and then many were shot and killed by dragon cavalry and scattered soldiers. The Eight Banners soldiers were less than 5,000.

Less than five thousand Qing army's Eight Banners cavalry boarded their horses and rushed towards the neatly arranged Ming army heavy cavalry.

"Kill the slave!" He found that the Qing army had given up the infantry formation and boarded the horse to counterattack. Han Dashan pointed forward with the mountain-opening axe in his hand.

The heavy cavalry began to accelerate slowly and repelled towards the formation of the Eight Banners soldiers who were rushing towards them. At the same time, Cao Bianjiao's light cavalry rushed out from both wings and rushed towards the Qing army.

During the charge, the Eight Banners soldiers were subjected to fierce bombardment from the two wings of naval guns and people kept falling down, but they still rushed forward without hesitation. Nikan knew that if they did not rush out, all the remaining Eight Banners soldiers would be explained here.

If you can escape, you must tell Prince Yu when you go back, especially be careful of Minggou Navy. Nikan said in his heart.

Cao Bianjiao's light cavalry came first, rushed to the Qing army, turned around, and shot overwhelming rounds of arrows. Although the arrows of the light cavalry could not break through the heavy armor of the Manchu Eight Banners soldiers, these Eight Banners soldiers were not real heavy cavalry, but heavy infantry riding horses. The war horses under their crotch did not have horse armor, and were shot down many war horses by the light cavalry.

The more the cavalry of the Manchu Eight Banners attacked, the looser the formation, and the fewer the more people and horses were attacked. After that, the cavalry of the Manchu Eight Banners, with loose formations, collided with the Ming army's Xuan Armored Iron Cavalry arranged in dense formations. The two sides collided fiercely, and both sides were both dismounted, but the proportion was seriously unequal. On average, more than ten to more than twenty Eight Banners were dismounted, and only one Ming army cavalry was dismounted.

After a round of hedging, the Ming army's Xuan Armored Iron Cavalry formation was still dense, and the Qing army was left with only a few hundred people.

After rushing over, Nikan certainly wouldn't want to turn back, so he shouted, "Go quickly and retreat to Yangzhou camp!"

The task of pursuing the remaining enemies of the Qing army was handed over to the light cavalry and the dragon cavalry. Cao Bianjiao and Wang Fuchen led their troops to pursue each other reluctantly, and Qing soldiers kept dismounting to stop the pursuit of the Ming army.

In dealing with those Manchu Eight Banners soldiers wearing heavy armor, Cao Bianjiao did not let the light cavalry fight with them, because even if the light cavalry could knock a Manchu Eight Banners soldier away, he would have to lose his own mission. Every Manchu Eight Banner soldier was an elite soldier. The light cavalry equipped with the sabers was not as long as the tiger spear, and the bows and arrows could not penetrate the armor, so he could only hit the horse with a war horse. The Mongols met Jurchen soldiers who dismounted and fought in the field, but a Jurchen soldier who fought on foot could kill at least five or six Mongols before they were knocked away by the light cavalry.

In response to the heavy infantry of the Manchu Eight Banners who were broken, Wang Fuchen shamelessly ordered the scattered soldiers to come forward and shoot them with a Taixi rifle.

In front of the online rifle, the warriors who can be killed are all living targets. On average, three to four scattered soldiers shot and killed an Eight Banners soldier. After the scattered soldiers fired a shot, they dismounted and loaded bullets, and then boarded to continue chasing the Qing army. Some scattered soldiers with particularly high skills can even be reloaded on bumpy horsebacks.

After all, the Qing army's heavy infantry riding horses was not as fast as the Ming army's light cavalry and dragon cavalry riding Don hippos, and more and more Qing soldiers were caught up.

Some people jumped off their horses and resisted stubbornly, but were beaten into sieve by scattered soldiers and dragon cavalrymen, and some people simply kneeled down and surrendered.

The chief general Nikan was also caught up by the Ming army. Nikan, who was fearless, bravely picked up several Ming army light cavalry in succession, and was finally picked up by Wang Fuchen with a halberd.

Nikan was killed by the formation, and more than 10,000 Eight Banners soldiers were wiped out! Except for more than 200 people who surrendered, the rest were killed.

After getting closer to the Eight Banners of the Mongolian and Eight Banners of Manchus, the light cavalry of the Ming army went to chase and kill the remaining defeated soldiers who had won the title.

At this time, the remaining defeated generals who had not yet run away, were easily caught up by the extremely fast Ming light cavalry and dragon cavalry. The main general Ma Degong had already been killed, and the remaining thousands of green camp soldiers had no fighting spirit. Seeing the Ming cavalry coming, they threw away all kinds of weapons and knelt down to surrender.

In this battle, the Huai Army won a great victory and killed four Qing generals, including Ma Degong, Zhang Jilun, Shuoer and Nikan! The 25,000 Qing army, except for more than 1,000 Green Camp soldiers who ran away, the rest were either killed or captured. The Huai Army captured more than 5,000 Green Camp soldiers, more than 200 Eight Banners soldiers, and more than 100 Mongolian soldiers who were slightly injured (all seriously injured Mongolian soldiers were finished with the knife), beheaded more than 10,000, and a large number of Qing soldiers were smashed by artillery shells, so they naturally could not beheaded.

There were countless weapons and horses seized, including more than 5,000 Mongolian horses, more than 1,000 Piwujumuqin horses, and more than 300 good horses in the Western Regions.

Although the Mongolian horse is short, Li Guodong still lacks a large number of horses. He originally had 10,000 dragon cavalry, but because of the lack of horses, only 4,000 dragon cavalry now have horses. The rest of the dragon cavalry have turned into mule soldiers or infantry. The captured Mongolian horses just equip the other dragon cavalry.

Upon learning the news of a complete victory, Li Guodong laughed and said to the soldiers around him: "This is the Qing Dynasty version of the Battle of Sarhu! Many Yang Hao divided his troops into three groups, using one route as bait, and wanted to eat our cavalry. We came from several groups, and I only went all the way, and fought many Yang Hao and lost his troops and generals, and lost four generals in a row."

The Ming army, which had won a great victory, sent all the prisoners and captured war horses and weapons to the west of the canal by navy.
