Jiang Quanyi's order was correct.

Although it is an official road, three thousand people almost cover the cross-section.

When you meet with your own reinforcements, three thousand people are enough to destroy your reinforcements. There is no time to allow two teams to meet slowly. Decisively avoiding both sides of the official road is the only correct way.

Four or five thousand Jingjiang health troops from Taixing collided with hundreds of cavalry leaders, leading the pursuit.

Countless human bodies were knocked away by Qingqi, and the situation was terrible. This made the soldiers on both sides, especially the cliffs, stop making a sound. They were shocked. Compared with those comrades who were knocked away, they were undoubtedly lucky.

Many people can often turn into courage.

Even if hundreds of people were knocked away by Qing cavalry, for only three or four hundred cavalrymen, they could not plow through a team that stretched for miles. The official road was not wide and could only accommodate four cavalry advancing together. The cavalry could not go down the field, which would cause the horse's hooves to fall into mud and jump off the cliff, which was seeking death.

So after ramming for one or two miles, the cavalry in front gradually slowed down, but the cavalry behind continued to charge, maintaining a relatively high speed.

So the Qingqi started to hit his own people.

There was chaos on the official road.

It was crowded, whether it was the Ming army or the Qing army, at this time, they just looked at the military uniform and waved their swords.

This Jingjiang Guard was temporarily formed because of the outbreak of the war. The main body was more than 2,000 veterans brought by Jiang Quanyi, less than 3,000. The former was more than 300 people who survived the Yizhen defense battle and later Wang Zhiren's new naval army climbed the north shore and rescued the remnants of Yizhen.

Wu Zheng added more than 4,000 new recruits from military academy to him and collected eight thousand.

There was not even a change of equipment. One was that there was no time, and the other was that there was no inventory in the military workshop, so I was still using the swords, bows and crossbows from the past.

The Northern Expedition Army no longer has armor, so naturally there is no new armor for Jingjiang Guards, and they still use the original armor. At this time, at least more than half of the people only had military uniforms and no armor.

Therefore, an encounter like this is basically the world of cavalry.

If it is an open land, three or four hundred cavalry are enough to deal with the more than 4,000 Jingjiang Guards, and they can leave calmly after rushing.

But this terrain is definitely not suitable for cavalry combat, as they are trapped between roads and cannot extend to both sides.

In other words, it is like a sharp knife. Once the tip of the knife is blunt, even the tofu may not be stabbed in.

At this time, the Qing cavalry forward became dull after hitting a hundred people in a row.

As soon as the cavalry slowed down, the Ming soldiers on both sides rushed up, jumped up, grabbed the rider and dragged it down.

Or wave the knife at the rider on the war horse.

If it doesn't work, then pounce on it.

It is conceivable that a cavalry without speed, surrounded by several times of people, would be dead end, and would be worse than infantry.

Gradually, the battle situation became different.

With a stick of incense, the arrogant Qing cavalry were wiped out like this, just like a group of ants gnawing on an elephant.

It seems impossible, but the facts happened.

After the war, Jingjiang Guard lost only more than 240 people. The result was that he was born on the official road and wiped out more than 360 cavalry.

The biggest casualties came from the cliff, with more than 400 sprained their ankles, more than 60 fractured their bones, and three seriously injured.

However, this is not the end of the battle.

Just the beginning.

After this Qing cavalry, there were still the pursuers of the Qing army, and the cavalry and infantry that crossed the river were behind the Qing army.

Jiang Quanyi lame his legs and cursed, "Don't stand and have fun, help his fallen brothers and wounded soldiers onto the horses. The entire army immediately retreated to Taixing City Dogs, and they were not active in running away!"

.

Karkhun was extremely angry.

What kind of battle is this? To put it bluntly, there is no chance to swing a knife in the front, and so many troops have been lost.

Looking at the chaos on the official road, Karkhu felt a sense of heat that wanted to tear everything in front of him.

The war horse is definitely gone, the body and clothes of the Qing rider were stripped naked, the key is to have the head

It's gone.

Not necessarily too cruel!

Of course, this would not be the case. The military academy students who had just fought the first battle must have been done by Jiang Quanyi's veterans who came from the sea of ​​blood.

Karkhu was in pain.

Before the battle was fought, the 50,000 troops went first 30%.

Fortunately, the more than 10,000 Qing soldiers who fled were considered as old horses, or they really had no place to escape, but they fled. They collected about four or five thousand defeated soldiers along the way, and finally nearly 40,000 troops were still there.

Looking into the distance, in the direction of Taixing City, Kaerchuhun shouted sternly, "Ten people escape and kill teams lead, hundred people escape and kill Zuo's leader, and thousands of people escape and kill gang leader cannot capture Taixing City today, I will kill the commanders!"

.

However, the development of the battle situation is always not subject to human will.

Before going to the war, Wu Zheng ordered three routes to head north, and the expected decisive battle was in Taizhou and Tongzhou.

But in fact, the Qing army went south at the same time, and was so nonsensical about Jiang Quanyi, it was obvious that Jiang Quanyi's troops could no longer go north, but were driven to Taixing by the Qing army.

In other words, the battlefield to the west has moved south to Taixing City.

Then, the Hangzhou Wei, who set out from Shizhuang, marched northwest through Huangqiao Town as planned to march towards Taizhou, inadvertently inserted into the Qing army's retreat, forming a border with Jiang Quanyi's troops to encircle nearly 40,000 Qing troops.

Although it sounds ridiculous, and 18,000 people formed an encirclement of 40,000 Qing troops, it was incredible, but this was the situation on the battlefield.

Whether it is a sharp knife or a strong shield, it must be done with both sides and take a look.

After receiving the Taixing war report, Wu Zheng cursed and sweared.

It turns out that the orders that have been repeatedly emphasized are not good when it comes to Jiang Quanyi's bastard.

However, Wu Zheng also understood that his judgment was indeed wrong. He thought that he could rush the Qing army in Taizhou to the south before the Qing army headed south in Taizhou. Unexpectedly, the Qing army was only more than two hours later than him.

Therefore, it is definitely impossible to fight in Taizhou. Even if Jiang Quanyi was ordered to defend Taixing City, the Qing army would inevitably advance to Taixing.

On the contrary, Jiang Quanyi's "reckless" disruption caused the Qing army to lose before the battle, and at the same time delayed the Qing army's speed of going south, allowing Hangzhou Guards to easily seize the Qing army's retreat.

But the situation is good and the difficulty is great.

Whether it is Jiang Quanyi's troops or Hangzhou Guards, the troops are relatively weak, and it is too difficult to slap 40,000 Qing troops.

The loss of Dasheng Pass and Longtan was the critical moment of Yingtian Mansion, which made it difficult for Wu Zheng to choose.

But time waits for no one, Wu Zheng could only make up his mind to fight the road well. As for what the situation will eventually turn into, he can only do his best to do his best by the will of heaven.

Wu Zheng ordered that the 8,000 musketeers stationed in Duanxiangshan would cross the river and support Taixing.

At the same time, Fang Guoan was urgently dispatched to lead more than 10,000 new recruits in the military academy to join Fangxiangshan.

This is already the intention of fighting a decisive battle with the Qing army opposite.
