Chapter 1660 Hengyang Town Sniper Battle (6)
Although there is a lot of gunpowder stored in the Liu family’s fireworks warehouse, it is scattered gunpowder used for artillery after all.
When an explosion occurs, it is indeed earth-shaking, but in fact, unless it is in the center of the explosion, the lethality is very small.
Liu Fang also knew this.
But is there any other way?
Liu Fang had to fight to the death with his men.
There are fixed numbers in the dark.
What causes the seeds and what results are? Liu Fang Yiming's kindness and the young and strong sent by him brought vitality to him and his men.
Chi Erhan led his troops to arrive, the moment Liu Fang and others arrived home.
It was the second half of the night, and Chi Erhan's cavalry swept from the north to the center with a mad speed.
When the young man who came back with Chi Erhan shouted and ran towards Liu Fang and others, the young man cried, and Liu Fang cried too.
This is not a cry for escaping from death, but all the persistence has resulted.
Chi Erhan's troops have more than 800 cavalry, and their troops have an absolute advantage.
Not only did the troops have the advantage, but the territories were also favorable. At the same time, when the Qing army was chasing Liu Fang and others on this night, many Qing soldiers did not get on the horse. They chased Liu Fang and others like cats and mice.
The dozens of Qing soldiers at the forefront were instantly swept by the cavalry of Chi Erhan and crushed into ashes.
This should have been a one-sided battle.
Unfortunately, Roccodo's troops are indeed elite. These cavalry that have followed Roccodo for more than ten years have almost no rivals from outside the pass to inside the pass.
They had not even suffered the same losses as yesterday, but even after being caught off guard, the Qing army did not disperse. Instead, under the leadership of Luo Keduo, they retreated ten miles and then wiped out the hundreds of young and strong people of Liu Fang in one fell swoop.
They are strong inside and respond quickly.
The moment when Chi Erhan's cavalry rushed into the town, the subsequent Qing soldiers did not even need Luo Keduo's orders, and each rushed towards their own war horses, and in an instant, they completed the assembly.
This time difference is only for the cavalry of Chi Erhan's troops to kill dozens of people chasing Liu Fang and others, and it has not even rushed to the temporary camp of the Qing soldiers in the center of the town.
An extremely difficult battle started in the dilapidated Hengyang Town.
Everyone knows that Chi Erhan's cavalry was not cavalry, but was just a temporary group of numbers for the sake of marching speed.
Their cavalry tactics and horse control ability are completely inferior to that of the Qing cavalry.
Especially in such street fighting battlefields, we cannot compete with the Qing cavalry.
But there is no way, they cannot complete the transformation from "cavalry" to musketeers in such a short time.
If you bump into it, you have to fight and fight to the death. There is never a reason or a reason on the battlefield.
The Qing cavalry responded very quickly. When they first started fighting, they saw the fallen soldiers of the Northern Expedition Army.
But the Northern Expedition Army had rigorous training and they also had experience on the battlefield.
The biggest difference between elites and new recruits is that when fighting against the wind, new recruits will collapse, elites can stubbornly reverse their disadvantages, new recruits will only take care of themselves to save their lives, and elites can create opportunities for their comrades to survive, even if they give their lives.
The "cavalry" of the Northern Expedition Army who were rushing in front all the time detonated the grenades on their bodies.
He suppressed the arrogant Qing cavalry with his life.
In just a few breaths, the self-sacrifice of more than a dozen people was exchanged for the Northern Expedition cavalry, who had time to dismount and completed a simple transformation of troops. Simply put, they could lift their guns and aim at them.
This made the one-sided disadvantage of the battlefield begin to stabilize.
The Northern Expedition Army had the ability to counter the Qing cavalry.
But the battle is still extremely cruel. Hengyang is just a small town. Its streets are too narrow. The Northern Expedition Army cannot divide and surround the enemy with its superior strength.
When skills and tactics are not as good as humans, two or three lives can be exchanged for Tartars' life.
In the battle of a stick of incense, Chi Erhan paid nearly 300 casualties to stabilize the situation and form a confrontation between the north and the south.
The casualties of the Qing soldiers were far smaller than those of the Northern Expedition Army, and even less than a hundred people.
This is not a huge difference in comprehensive abilities, but a disadvantage in a military category caused by a specific time and in a specific area.
After the battle situation stabilized, Chi Erhan began to organize the response.
He ordered the latter army to separate two partial divisions, and dozens of them detoured to the east and west sides.
....
Roccodo has been very excited.
He was shocked the moment the Northern Expedition Army rushed into the town.
But the battlefield situation that followed made him feel confident.
He was confident that he would annihilate this enemy rookie cavalry who had no idea where he came from with more than 300 cavalry.
But later, when the cavalry of the Northern Expedition Army brazenly detonated the firearms on their bodies at the same time, suppressing and repelling the Qing cavalry, Luo Keduo's confidence began to shake.
He realized that this was not a rookie cavalry, he should be the elite of the Northern Expedition Army.
Because this kind of fearless act is an accidental example, it is not surprising that there are a few brave people everywhere.
But if this is a group action, it would be different.
This requires rigorous training and strong spiritual strength. Roccodo believes that he cannot let his soldiers do this. He just needs to arrange a few suicides in advance to guide the rest of the soldiers to follow suit.
But the opponents are different, they don't even need commands, they are spontaneous, subconscious reactions.
After realizing this, Roccodo made the only time in his life that he took the initiative to retreat while gaining the advantage of the battlefield.
Roccodo's decision was correct.
The Qing cavalry was indeed powerful in fighting, but the town was already ruined and almost visible. The cavalry lost their speed and fought condescendingly in the streets. Although it seemed to be the dominant one, in fact, it was the shortest one by one.
When the musketeers have sufficient shooting boundaries, they will accurately shoot the enemy cavalry at high places. The Qing cavalry can stall and cannot hit the opponent's rear, so the advantage they have at this time will be reversed instantly.
Luo Keduo is indeed experienced in the battlefield. When he takes the initiative to evacuate at this time, the Qing cavalry can calmly separate from his opponents by relying on his riding skills.
Once the Northern Expedition Army accelerates first, it will probably be difficult for them to catch up even if it is launched to pursue the Northern Expedition Army.
This is true. The Qing cavalry suddenly escaped, and the Northern Expedition Army was confused, as if it was hit by the air when it was hit by a fist with all its strength.
Even Chi Erhan felt a surprise before she came back to her senses and organized a pursuit.
It was this accident that the Qingqi had already stretched the distance to two or three miles.
....
Roccodo retreated calmly.
This battle made his originally suppressed mentality feel more relaxed, especially after guessing that the other party was an elite member of the Northern Expedition Army, Luo Keduo felt even more relieved.
It is the most enjoyable thing for any general to lead a soldier to lose his life.
After the Qingqi set aside, he did not continue to accelerate and leave.
Because Luo Keduo was still thinking that with his own speed, he would harass the Northern Expedition Army in the town to expand the results of the battle.
This is what Qingqi is best at.
But what Luo Keduo didn't expect was that the south ended was a hill where he was beaten to a hill where he was imprisoned by a group of villagers the day before yesterday.
At a relatively unfast speed, when passing the hill, Luo Keduo encountered the same people in the same place.
Perhaps it was God's will that Roccodo should have died at the foot of the unknown mountain here.
