Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The rumble of horse hooves resounded across the plains, as countless war horses galloped across the barren wilderness. If anyone could look down from the air at this time, they would find two groups of people chasing each other on the ground.

    "The ones galloping in front were a group of knights in black helmets and black armor, while the knights behind were in blue helmets and blue armor. Although the knights in black helmets and black armor in front had more than 200 horses, their actual number was only about 100 horses.  But there were much more knights in blue helmets and blue armor behind them. There were thousands of them in densely packed groups, and behind them there were more cavalry in hot pursuit.

    "Some people in the front group of cavalry looked back from time to time to watch the pursuers behind them. Those cavalrymen with blue helmets and blue armor chased fiercely. They didn't care about their horse power and frequently beat the horses under their crotches as they chased with all their might.

    While lowering his body, a cavalryman turned around and asked Li Nian loudly: "Master Li, those damn Tatars are relying on us, and now they are chasing them again. Now most of the horse's horsepower has been consumed.  Should we change horses?"

    Li Nian looked back and saw that the distance between the two sides had been shortened to a hundred steps by the other party. If he had been another forty or fifty steps forward, he would have been within the shooting range of the Qing army's muskets.

    Gritting his teeth, Li Nian shook his head and did not answer. He clamped his feet on the horse's belly a little harder, urging the horse under his crotch to speed up.

    The pursuers behind them have been chasing them for most of the day. At first, Li Nian's plan was very successful. He led the cavalry under his command to use harassment methods and took advantage of the Mini rifles in his hands to continuously attack the Qing army from a distance, giving Hauge  and the soldiers and horses under his command caused considerable damage. Hundreds of Qing soldiers fell under their guns. At the same time, Li Nian finally figured out the purpose of the Qing soldiers' trip by interrogating several captured low-level officers.  .

    Finally, the infuriated Haug ordered all the cavalry to pursue them with all their strength, and must drive away the hateful Dahua cavalry.

    The enraged Hauge was crazy. Under his order, the Qing soldiers chased him desperately, and Li Nian had to start his great escape.

    Fortunately, since the firearms of the Qing soldiers were not inferior in range and accuracy to the Mini rifles of the Dahua Army, Li Nian could still use the Mini rifles to scare him so that the Qing soldiers would not get too close.  But just now.  The Qing soldiers behind didn't know what kind of stimulation they received, but they desperately used up their horsepower to catch up with them. Now Li Nian and the others suddenly became extremely strenuous.

    Less than a mile away from Li Nian, Hauge also led a large group of people to beat the horses desperately. When they dismounted, the backs of the divine horses were already beaten with blood.

    And Fan Wencheng, a weak civil servant, had already fallen down from exhaustion. Unable to control the horse, he could only hold on to the reins desperately and let you lead him to the front.

    "Xu Xu"

    A war horse in front suddenly let out a mournful cry, and its hooves softened.  Kneeling on the ground with his front feet, the cavalryman was caught off guard and was thrown off his horse, and his whole body fell to the ground.  Before he could get up, the horse from behind stepped heavily on his back, causing the cavalryman to vomit blood and roll to the ground howling, looking like he would not survive.

    Without the slightest hesitation, the cavalry behind them continued to swarm forward. The Qing soldiers had seen too much of this scene in the densely galloping team.  Only one fallen person could survive, so the cavalry behind them stepped over without hesitation.  It's not that they are cold-blooded towards their companions, but they know it well.  This kind of thing is not based on their will.

    "Bang bang bang"

    Someone from the Qing soldiers behind was already firing one after another, but because the distance was too far, the lead bullets from the Qing soldiers were not concentrated on Ye Busuo in front.

    After Li Nian heard the gunfire, he glanced back, with a hint of helplessness in his eyes. The huge difference in numbers destined them to be unable to confront so many enemy troops head-on, and they could only flee.

    Touching the Mini rifle behind his back, Li Nian couldn't help but feel a little regretful because it was loaded in the front.  This also made it impossible for them to reload ammunition on the violently galloping horses, which also made them unable to fight back against the pursuing troops behind them.

    "Bang bang bang"

    The sound of firecrackers behind did not end, but sounded scattered. This was the Qing soldiers behind firing to vent their hatred.

    Li Nian looked back and saw that the Qing soldiers behind him had closed the distance by more than twenty steps.  It was about to reach within their shooting range.

    Li Nian knew he couldn¡¯t delay it any longer, so he shouted, ¡°Attention everyone, change horses immediately!¡±

    "Change horses immediately!"

    ??The voices one after another rang out in the cavalry group, after they finished shouting.  Li Nian used a beautiful gesture to turn over and jump to another war horse next to him.?On the back.

    Changing horses on a galloping horse is a basic skill of a cavalry. Soon, the cavalry who changed horses sped up and left behind the Qing army who had gradually closed the distance.

    Seeing that the Dahua army in front changed their horses, the Qing soldiers behind them were not to be outdone. They had grown up on horses and quickly changed their horses.

    While both sides were chasing each other, the cavalryman running at the front suddenly screamed: "There is a large group of cavalry ahead!"

    Li Nian looked up. On the distant horizon, streaks of dust and smoke rose into the sky and lingered for a long time. This sign indicated that there must be a large group of cavalry coming from the front.

    Li Nian¡¯s face lit up and he shouted loudly: ¡°Brothers, someone is here to help us!¡±

    The cavalrymen were refreshed and ran forward with all their strength.

    After a while, the Qing soldiers behind also discovered the dust and smoke in front. They knew without thinking too much that except for their own team of troops, there would be no soldiers and horses of their own near Jinzhou.

    Seeing this situation, the experienced Qing soldiers immediately slowed down their horses, changed their formations, and prepared for the upcoming battle without the commander's orders.

    And when Li Nian and his party saw the smoke billowing ahead, they immediately realized that reinforcements must be coming from their own side.  Sure enough, soon a white tiger flag with a black background appeared in front of them.

    "It's reinforcements, our reinforcements are coming!"

    The cavalrymen cheered and urged their horses to gallop forward. However, when they were approaching the opponent's formation, Li Nian shouted loudly: "Li Nian, a hundred-year-old general under the command of the Liaodong Governor's Mansion, was ordered to go to the front to inquire.  Regarding the military situation of the Tatars, may I ask whose troops are coming from the front?"

    Soon, the cavalry in front slowly slowed down, and a man who looked like a general arrived in front of him, supported by a group of soldiers. The general shouted loudly: "This officer is Wu Sangui, the commander-in-chief of Shanhaiguan Pass. Li Nian, what are you in the rear?"  Are the Tartars soldiers under the command of Prince Hauge of the Qing Dynasty?"

    When Li Nian heard this, he quickly replied: "For General Wu, behind you is the five thousand troops led by Hauge!"

    Wu Sangui nodded and said loudly: "Okay, please go around from both sides and watch me kill the slave today!"

    After saying that, Wu Sangui waved his hand and shouted loudly: "Soldiers, kill the Tatars!"

    "kill!"

    As Wu Sangui shouted, countless cavalry in black helmets rushed past him, swarming towards the front, and the Qing soldiers who had already formed up were not to be outdone and rushed towards Wu Sangui's army.

    With the support of dozens of Goshihars, Haug rode on horseback and calmly observed this imminent battle.

    Soon, the two cone-shaped charging armies collided fiercely, like two high-speed charging monsters colliding violently.

    "Boom!"

    The moment the two sides came into contact, countless arrowheads, flying axes, and javelins flew towards each other. Immediately, hundreds of cavalry were shot down and dismounted. The neighing of the war horses, the screams of the dismounted knights, and the screams of the dismounted knights were heard as they hacked each other.  The angry shouts were mixed together, and for a while the two sides were fighting inextricably.

    At this time, Fan Wencheng also arrived at the scene. Looking at the tragic scene, his expression changed slightly and he said to Hauge: "Prince Su, do you think those soldiers and horses look like those of Wu Sangui, the commander-in-chief of Shanhaiguan Pass?"

    Hauge sneered: "It doesn't look like it, but it must be Wu Sangui's men. Looking at the entire Liaodong, which cavalry can fight like this against the elites of the Qing Dynasty without using firearms?"

    Fan Wencheng took a breath of air and murmured: "No wonder! I heard that Wu Sangui's troops included more than 2,000 original Guanning cavalry built by the former Liaodong governor Yuan Chonghuan. Therefore, his cavalry's combat power is not inferior.  I am the best of the Qing Dynasty."

    After hearing Fan Wencheng's words, Hauge snorted in discomfort: "Yuan Chonghuan's bones have turned to ashes, why are you mentioning him?"

    "Uhyes, this slave made a mistake!"

    Fan Wencheng then remembered that if Nurhaci, Hauge¡¯s grandfather, the founder and founder of the Qing Dynasty, had not been injured by the artillery fire of the Guangdong ¡°barbarian¡± Yuan Chonghuan in the Battle of Ningyuan, he probably would not have lost his temper so quickly.  Therefore, even though Yuan Chonghuan had been killed by Chongzhen, people in the Qing Dynasty still felt uncomfortable talking about him.

    While talking, Wu Sangui commanded his 6,000 fine cavalry and Hauge's 5,000 cavalry to fight together.

    In such a large-scale battle, individual bravery is extremely insignificant. Everyone is just a pawn in the army.

    Both sides were furious, and they all waved their weapons and slashed forward.  On one side of them were the elites of the Zhenglan Banner, and on the other side were the disciples left behind by the former Guan Ning cavalry. After passing by Wu SanguiThe elite knights who have been trained for many years will not stop until one party is completely knocked down.

    Looking at the cruel scene in front of them, even Li Nian and the others, who were standing not far away watching the battle, couldn't help but be speechless.

    One of the cavalrymen stuck out his tongue and said, "My darling, it's so lively. I didn't expect the brothers from Shanhaiguan to be so good at fighting."

    Li Nian also nodded in agreement: "Yes, if General Wu's cavalry are all equipped with our firearms, they will definitely be an elite force!"
