Chapter 1896 Where is the heavy ride
Even some troops were still retreating south at that time. The soldiers who were unwilling to fail looked listless on their faces. The people who were escaping from the war along the way kept pointing at the marching soldiers, complaining at the soldiers and rolling their eyes.
But suddenly, with a command, the army's back team turned into the front team.
The soldiers slowly became excited from the start of shock, then became energetic and ran quickly.
The people were stunned. They opened their mouths wide and stood there on the spot, not sure whether they should continue moving forward or change their direction with the army.
Finally, some people began to test and hesitate to hand the small amount of food in their hands to the running soldiers.
Then, more and more people began to follow suit.
The soldiers pushed them away, but could not resist the crowd.
Many people's eyes were red and tears burst out uncontrollably.
This day has been waiting for too long.
....
The battlefield is always a game for the brave.
Especially this large-scale cavalry duel, the sound of horse hooves that are deafening like thunder is enough to make people intoxicated.
The cavalry on both sides were panicked but expected, nervous, but happy.
Life and death are at the forefront, but we are still looking forward to it. It is the best time to kill the enemy and gain military merits.
Titicacum commanded calmly. After learning about the attack, he divided his troops to meet the enemy in two groups, and even reserved 2,000 reserve teams.
The ratio of troops to the two sides before the war was two to one, Shen Zhiyuan's spear and two cavalry and Titicacum.
In other words, Titicacum only faces the enemy with three thousand cavalry per route.
This kind of grand and calmness is definitely not comparable to a rookie who has just entered the battlefield.
But the facts are as expected by Titicaca.
The range of the short gun of the spear is far less than that of the ranger of Titicacum, and the difference is at least twenty steps.
This distance is really a blink of an eye for the cavalry, but for the duel between the two armies, it is the distance between life and death.
Because of this distance difference, Titicacum Ranger can preempt and shoot one more round of arrows while taking advantage of the distance.
Fortunately, the relatively fast approach between the two sides has weakened the effect of this distance difference a lot.
Otherwise, this gap alone will allow Titicacum to win this battle safely.
With just one encounter, there will be no less than a thousand people who have been dismissed on both sides.
Afterwards, both sides immediately entered the battle, and the short gun and the bow arrow no longer had any effect.
The cavalry tactics of the Titicacum team is indeed better than the cavalry of the spears. This cannot be offset by one or two years of training.
Even when Shen Zhiyuan was recruiting troops, he was selected from the Han people in the north. However, the difference between the Han ancestry could not be dissipated by region.
This cavalry duel lasted from the beginning of Si time to the end of Shen time.
The cavalry used their military strength to consume the raiders of Titicacum with all their strength.
But the situation became clearer and clearer, and the balance of victory gradually leaned towards the Qing army.
This is obviously a sneak attack of innate deficiencies, because the target has changed. Since the tactical goals have changed, the effect it should naturally not be achieved.
As time went by, the messenger sent by Titicacum was enough to send the information of the attack in the rear to Zuo Menggeng outside Fengyang City.
As long as Zuo Menggeng gets this information, there is no need to send a team of thousands of cavalry to press north, and the bank of the Shuishi River will become a cemetery for more than 10,000 spearheads.
....
Zuo Menggeng has received this report.
His response was rare wise.
Zuo Menggeng immediately dispatched a cavalry of 6,000 people to reinforce northwards.
The generals led the troops and were the guerrilla Lang Tingzuo, the Han army's yellow flag.
Lang Tingzuo was a Han native and his ancestral home was Guangning. His father was a child during the Chongzhen period. During the Later Jin Dynasty, he joined Nurhaci.
He is a hardcore traitor.
Lang Tingzuo was at home and his brother as a civil servant.
So, Lang Tingzuo followed Prince Su Haoge to conquer Shu and pacify Zhang Xianzhong, and then followed Prince Ying Ajige to conquer Shanxi rebellion. He fought along the way and made many military achievements, and he really became the name of brother civil officials and military generals.
However, although Lang Tingzuo was classified as the Han army's Yellow Banner, he was not Zuo Menggeng's old subordinate.
The six thousand elites in his hands are not Zuo Menggeng's old subordinates.
In other words, although Zuo Menggeng had a real title, in fact, before going south, Zuo Menggeng still could not truly control the Han army's yellow flag.
The reason why he has become the acting commander now is actually not because Zuo Menggeng has a high prestige in the Qing army, but because it coincides with his own experience.
Of course, Lang Tingzuo was willing to order reinforcements this time.
Yes, it is the point of the question that there is a fire behind, and rushing to put out the fire, otherwise everyone will be implicated.
But Lang Tingzuo underestimated the enemy too much. After he drove the siege, he marched quickly, and even did not send out the scouts he should have sent.
Yes, the journey of cavalry from Fengyang City is only half a day away. In just two days, the army came from this route. How could a large number of enemy troops appear?
If there are small groups of enemy troops, then they will only be annihilated when they encounter 6,000 cavalry. How can they set up an ambush if they are avoided?
....
After another fierce battle, the sky began to turn dark.
Apart from the large number of casualties caused by the fierce collision and shooting when the two sides first started the war, the casualties of the lance cavalry were not too large at this time, but after half a day of fierce fighting, the lance cavalry was no longer strong, and looking at the enemy ranger, it seemed that they could not see fatigue.
In fact, by this, the level of the game can be judged.
Titicacum, of course, thinks so too.
He had unique vision, so Titicacum waved the scimitar in his hand and sent two thousand reserve teams to the battlefield.
The addition of two thousand new forces is enough to accelerate the defeat of the spear cavalry.
The battle is in danger!
However, at this critical moment, a vision terrified Titicaca.
The earth shook faintly.
From the beginning to the difficulty of being noticed, gradually, the tremor became stronger and stronger.
No, now the two armies on the battlefield have continued to fight, and it is impossible to emit such a shock.
The two thousand cavalry who ordered to join the battlefield had not yet been dispatched.
Titicaca is so familiar with this kind of tremor on earth. It must be the prelude to the charge of a large number of cavalry. Moreover, it is not an ordinary cavalry, it should be... a heavy cavalry!
Titicamu hurriedly picked up the telescope and searched around for the source of the vibration.
There are no east, south, west...
When Titicacum aimed the telescope behind the north, he was frightened...
"Iron Armored Heavy Cavalry!" Titicamu opened his mouth wide and said in extreme horror.
Iron armor, iron helmet, iron mask... Even the body of war horses is also iron chain armor. Titicacum is very familiar with such cavalry.
At that time, there was such a heavy cavalry under the command of the Regent Dorgon. If it was released, it would be invincible. It can be said that he would kill the gods when he met the gods and the Buddha when he met the Buddha.
How is that possible? Didn’t this heavy cavalry be destroyed in Xuzhou?
Could it be... Titicacum's face changed drastically? Did Xuzhou...the enemy has already captured Xuzhou?
Titicacum trembled involuntarily. If Xuzhou was lost... then the army's retreat would be cut off. Next, the enemy troops from all sides would be surrounded like hungry wolf...
