Chapter 204: Boarding and Retreat

When Qingzhu saw the Eight Banners cavalry wearing lightning rod helmet and cotton armor rushed towards the formation of the people, she shouted anxiously: "Hurry up, bring the car across, pick up the spear, and use wooden boards and shields to defend against arrows!"

When Zhao Peng saw the female soldiers such as Qingzhu and Yumei commanding the people to push the vehicles and protect them with shields, he turned to Yebu and shouted: "Let's kill the Jiannu siege cavalry and try to get more time for the people!"

After saying that, Zhao Peng turned around and shot an arrow, and accurately shot an arrow on the Eight Banners soldier's face, shooting through his cheekbones. Then he led thirty-seven Ye Bushe to turn his horse's head and penetrated his head towards the Eight Banners' whistle.

To prevent the Qing army from killing the people as much as possible, and if you cannot touch the stone with an egg, you must turn around and harass the Qing army's whistle cavalry. But you cannot fight head-on. You can only penetrate the Qing army diagonally and use a bow to cause trouble for the Qing army.

More than 80 Eight Banners soldiers had already rushed to the front of the cart and were blocked by the big cart in the middle of the road. Spears stretched out from behind the cart, and the tips of the cold spears pointed at the Eight Banners cavalry, making them dare not move forward rashly, and could only surround the cart with bows and continued shooting arrows.

The rain of arrows plunged into the cart formation. Countless white reed flocks grew from the carts. Many arrows flew over the carts and plunged into the crowd of people. Although there were shields and door panels to protect them, many people who did not have any armor protection were still caught in the arrows and fell down screaming. The injured fell into the pile of corpses and wailed in pain.

Zhao Peng had already rushed over with thirty-seven cavalry, galloping twenty steps away from the side of the Eight Banners Cavalry, and shot several rounds of arrow rain at the Qing cavalry, forcing the Qing soldiers who were shooting archery at the people to be distracted, and turned around and shot arrows at Zhao Peng and others to fight back.

Both sides were moving quickly. The accuracy of the two sides' shooting was not high. Most of the arrows fell into the air. A few arrows shot into the opponent's cavalry, but did not cause much damage to the opponent. The armor effectively protected the killing effect of the arrows. During the shooting between the two sides, two Qing army was injured, and one of them was shot to death by Zhao Peng; the Jinyiwei's Ye Bus Cavalry was injured, and one of them was unfortunately seriously injured in the arrows. He screamed and fell off his horse.

The Qing army's whistle cavalry immediately gathered and rushed towards the Ming army's whistle cavalry that they hated, trying to use the advantage of large numbers of people to annihilate these whistle cavalry in close combat with hand-to-hand combat.

Zhao Peng immediately retreated with thirty-six Yebusuo. At the same time, the infantry rushed forward.

The Eight Banners Scouts Cavalry saw the "Bandit Army" infantry coming up and immediately turned around and left. At the same time, the twelve Eight Banners who were shooting arrows from afar were riding on horseback and moving towards the Jinyiwei infantry. When they arrived fifty steps away, they dismounted and shot arrows with their step bows. Two rounds of arrows flew away, and one of the Jinyiwei infantry was killed and many were injured.

When the Jinyiwei infantry turned around and advanced towards the twelve Eight Banners of Manchus, the Eight Banners of Manchus of Manchus were riding on horseback, while the eighty scouts of the Eight Banners of Manchus dismounted and shot arrows with their bows.

"Damn, let me play kites back and forth for my infantry!" Zhao Peng saw that the Qing army used the tactic of playing kites back and forth, but he had no choice but to these Qing army. With less than a hundred Eight Banners soldiers, he played more than a thousand of his infantry around, without any means. His archers were very lethal to the Qing army, and the bird gunners had a long range, so they could not reach the Qing army's archers.

At this time, Zhao Peng could feel the helplessness of the Ming army when they faced the Later Jin army. Far shooting, because the Ming Dynasty's Ministry of Works was greedy for money and cut corners, and the firearms were not as useful as the Later Jin army's bows and arrows; in close combat, the Ming army's melee ability was not as good as the Later Jin army. Now Zhao Peng has trained an infantry with extremely strong melee combat, but the Qing cavalry did not give Zhao Peng's infantry a chance to fight in close combat at all. They all shot with bows and arrows from afar. Even if they were off the horse, they still shot with instigation bows, making it impossible for his infantry to fight in close combat at all.

If the infantry advances forward, the Qing soldiers can leave by riding on their horses. After setting a distance, they can shoot with bows and arrows.

"It's so frustrating to fight like this!" Wang Quan said angrily, "If we have a light Franchise machine on hand, even if it's a turtle dove gun or a tiger squat cannon, Jiannu can't play with us back and forth."

"As long as there is a strong crossbow, they can drink a pot, but it's a pity that the crossbow is not powerful enough." Zhao Peng said regretfully.

This time, he came out to perform special tasks and did not carry heavy firearms and crossbows. At this point, Zhao Peng could only order: "Prepare good protection, retreat steadily, and retreat to the lakeside is our victory."

The infantry of the Jinyiwei held a shield to protect the people, formed a formation and walked backwards, step by step, and protected the infantry to retreat towards the lakeside. The Qing cavalry maintained a certain distance from the Jinyiwei infantry, followed fifty steps away, and shot light arrows from time to time. Zhao Peng was powerless, so he could only watch his Jinyiwei retreat step by step with the Qing army's arrows.

The less than two miles to retreat to the lakeside, more than a thousand Jinyiwei had no choice but to retreat in the rain of arrows and retreat all the way. He suffered heavy casualties halfway, especially the people who did not have any armor protection, were shot to death, and the number of people injured was as high as more than 30 people.

The Eight Banners Cavalry dismounted their horses, held their stair bows, and shot arrows step by step as they advanced. Every time the Qing army rained down, the soldiers, civilians and people on Zhao Peng's side suffered casualties.

The impression left by the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty was indeed amazing. Under the conditions of equal weapons, Zhao Peng knew that his side had no chance of winning. Fortunately, it was not far from the lakeside. As long as he could withstand casualties, maintain his formation and not collapse, he would be safe to retreat to the ship.

Although Zhao Peng shot an arrow from time to time and took the life of an Eight Banners soldier, he had only one person and one bow, and with his own strength, he could not suppress the Eight Banners soldiers at all. The Eight Banners archers caused great casualties to the soldiers and civilians on his side. This casualties ratio between the two sides was not something he could only reverse.

Someone was unable to calm down by the continuous arrow rain of the Eight Banners soldiers. Regardless of He Xing's obstruction, he shouted and rushed out of his own formation, carrying a knife and rushing towards the Qing army. As a result, he left the formation and rushed out of the formation. He only rushed out a few steps, and was shot into a hedgehog. His legs became weak, and he slowly knelt down and fell forward to the ground.

Just as the invincible and mighty Eight Banners Heavenly Soldiers of the Qing Dynasty were shooting and killing the Ming soldiers and civilians unscrupulously, a roaring sound of cannons suddenly sounded from the lake three hundred steps away. I saw the Ming navy warships on the lake spewed out flames, and white smoke filled the lake, and rows of artillery shells roaring towards the Qing army.

After entering the range of the artillery of the Ming Navy, the mighty Eight Banners Heavenly Soldiers were not effective at all. Dozens of whistling shells fell into the crowd of Eight Banners archers, and they plowed out a series of flesh-and-blood alleys among the Qing army.

No matter how brave and invincible the Eight Banners soldiers were, they were not worth mentioning in front of the shell. When they were wiped by the shell, they would break their arms and legs. They were directly hit by the shell, and they would turn into bloody minced flesh.

The sudden shelling shocked the Eight Banners soldiers. They did not dare to pursue the arrows anymore, but hurriedly retreated, stepped on their own war horses, left quickly, and watched the vehicles loaded with gold and silver in front of them leave helplessly.

"It's safe, we're finally safe!" Seeing that the Eight Banners Qing army was repelled by artillery fire from the lake navy, people cried with joy.

The sailors of the Ming Navy's Navy had also landed on the shore. They carried firearms such as turtle dove guns, light franchises and other firearms. These weapons ranged more than the Qing bows of the Eight Banners soldiers. As long as the Qing army dared to get close to archery, turtle dove guns, and light franchises, they could drink a pot.
