Chapter 286 The Eight Banners Cavalry with Heavy Losses
Hiss! So dangerous!
Lukedehun hooked his feet tightly with the stirrups before he didn't fall off his horse.
There were artillery in the Ming army formation!
However, artillery usually takes a long time to fire after one cannon, and this interval is enough to allow the Qing army to advance into the Ming army formation.
Lukehn firmly believed that just one charge could solve all these shrimp soldiers and crabs.
He skillfully controlled the reins of the horse, and clamped his legs and began to speed up.
The rest of the cavalry rushed forward tightly around Lukede.
The Qing army that advanced was like a cone head.
One hundred and fifty steps, one hundred and twenty steps, one hundred steps
It's close, it's close
Lukedhun narrowed his eyes and smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth.
When he smiled brightly, he suddenly heard a burst of roar.
Immediately afterwards, many cavalrymen around them were blown away.
Lukedehn was a little confused. What's going on?
Could the Ming army be able to fire again in such a short time?
This is impossible.
At this moment, Shi Tingzhu shouted and reminded: "Be careful, Mr. Beile, this was blown from the ground!"
Lukedhun was shocked.
What, can it still explode underground?
Did the Ming army hired demons who could cast spells to help the battle?
Before Luke Dehun could think about it, explosions came one after another. Whether it was the Eight Banners of Han or the Eight Banners of Mongolia, there were many cavalrymen who were directly bombed with their men and horses.
Some horse legs were blown off directly, and blood flowed all over the ground, which was extremely terrifying.
Luke Dehun was lucky, but he was not bombed.
Even so, he was already frightened.
The Ming army obviously had prepared for a long time, and he rushed into the Ming army's ambush with his cavalry!
Lukedehn regained his senses a little and said with a thorn in his mouth: "Continue rushing, don't stop, rush over and kill all these Nikans!"
Whether it is a demon casting spells or something, it must be only valid within a certain range.
As long as he led his army to rush through this range, the Ming army would be helpless.
If you choose to give up now, then the previous sacrifice will be in vain.
Lukehn would never do such stupid things. He wanted to prove himself with a big victory and wash away his previous shame.
Chen Shuncai was extremely nervous.
He and Liu Liangmin were in the back of the cavalry team.
The companions in front were killed and injured one after another, which brought him a huge impact. Of course, Chen Shuncai didn't want to die. He still had Erya and a child who had not yet been born.
But in this situation, he couldn't even escape.
The formation of the Qing cavalry when they rushed forward was too compact, and Chen Shuncai had no other choice except to be carried forward.
Even pretending to be dead is impossible.
The only chance is to take the initiative to jump off the horse. If Chen Shun was not trampled to death by the galloping horse he followed, this would be a way.
But Chen Shun dared not gamble. Compared to being killed by a bomb, the possibility of being trampled to death by a galloping horse is obviously greater.
Alas, what kind of evil he committed in his previous life? Why did he endure such hardships?
However, as the explosions became less and less, the Qing cavalry had already broken into fifty steps in front of the Ming army.
At this time, Gao Jie gave the order, and the soldiers behind the spear formation immediately raised the javelin over their heads and threw it towards the Qing cavalry.
Each of them had three javelins in total. After throwing them, the Qing army rushed into the formation.
At that time, it was time to see the spearman.
But before this, the javelin could still cause considerable damage to the Qing army.
A round of javelin flew across the sky, and then shot more than a hundred cavalrymen out of their horses.
They were wearing armor, but they could not resist the sharp javelins. They wailed in pain and then sniffed.
Chen Shuncai was lucky. He was in the back position, and basically he lost his strength when he threw the javelin in front and was blocked by his companions.
"Damn it!"
Lukedehn was very angry.
Although javelin throwing is a one-time deal, it is very effective in dealing with such dense cavalry charges.
Because soldiers throwing javelins do not need to aim much, they can basically hit the target as long as they throw them hard.
Fortunately, the javelin only has three rounds at most, and after the three rounds, the Qing cavalry was performed.
"Drop thousands of enemies and prepare!"
Li Chengdong used this gap to order the soldiers to throw all the remaining ten thousand enemies at the Qing army.
This distance happens to be the most suitable for throwing by tens of thousands of people. One point more is too far, and one point less is too close.
The Ming soldiers ignited the bullet and smashed the mud balls in their hands towards the Qing army.
This thing has been proven to be miraculous in the Battle of Linqing, and the soldiers are happy to use it.
But the Qing soldiers were different.
When they saw the explosion of mud balls flying over, they all showed a look of horror.
Compared with land mines that exploded from underground, tens of thousands of people and enemies are obviously more threatening.
Because it can explode in the air, the exploded fragments can be directly cut or even pierced into the Qing army's body. If the vital damage is injured, the person will undoubtedly die.
With the explosions, there were another burst of ghosts and wolves howling.
Cannons, bombs, javelins, ten thousand enemies.
The Ming army's offensives caused serious losses to the Qing cavalry during the charge.
The situation in the Eight Banners of Mongolia is slightly better.
First of all, they are skilled in bowing and horses and can cleverly avoid some attacks. And they are all on the sides of the wings and have enough space to dodge.
And the cavalry of the Eight Banners of the Han army was in tragedy.
They were sandwiched between the two Mongolian cavalrymen and could not move at all, so they could only eat all the damage.
During this charge, the eight banners of the Han army had lost more than 30%.
The two-wing cavalry in Mongolia only lost 10% of their troops.
Fortunately, I finally rushed into the Ming army!
Let’s take advantage of the previous shame at this time!
At the last charge, Luke Dehun deliberately stopped his speed so that he would not be the first to rush into the Ming army.
The moment the infantry and cavalry met, an astonishing momentum erupted in a flash.
The spears shot out like poisonous snakes spitting out letters, and the cavalry also stepped on some infantry who had not stood firm directly under them.
Both parties have losses.
It has to be said that the Qing army protected the cavalry very well and had all armor. Even if it was a long spear, it would be difficult to kill him directly as long as it was not injured.
But after this collision, the speed of the Qing cavalry obviously decreased.
This is the rhythm that the Ming army hopes to see.
Because as long as the Qing army was caught in a tangle, they could be defeated one by one.
Of course, this mainly refers to the Han flag cavalry located in the middle of the queue.
As for the Mongolian cavalry on both wings, I don’t know whether it was intentionally retaining its strength or whether it was difficult to change the tactics of guerrilla harassment of Mongolian cavalry, they only sprinted on both wings to shoot arrows and did not forcefully rush to the formation.
Lukedehun is now trapped in the enemy formation and cannot see the two wings, otherwise he would have to vomit blood in anger.
Since Lin Dankhan's death, Mongolian tribes have successively surrendered to the Qing Dynasty.
