Ming Taizi's Total War

Chapter 211 Embarrassed fleeing
Immediately, Zhu Cihong dispatched together with more than [-] cavalry from the Imperial Guard's cavalry army, left the road, and came to the wilderness.

Although the terrain in the wilderness is rugged and the land is soft, it is easy for the hoofs of war horses to sink in, but fortunately there is a lot of space, allowing them to gallop freely.

With space, cavalry can increase their speed and improve their survivability on the battlefield.

Taking advantage of the opportunity when the Wu army's infantry and cavalry were busy dividing the Ming army's front troops and encircling them, Zhu Cixiang marched in the wilderness and quietly detoured behind them.

However, Zhu Cixiang did not order the cavalry to rush over at the fastest speed. Instead, he took his time and asked them to approach the Wu army surrounding the Ming army's front army.

If he breaks through from one point, Zhu Cihong will soon penetrate Wu Jun's encirclement formation, but only one point, or one side, cannot immediately change the situation of the battle.

Moreover, after his cavalry broke through the formation of the Wu army, they might not be able to control their speed, and crashed into the formation of the former army of the Ming army, knocking their own people into pieces.

Even if the life and body of the infantry in front blocked some of the cavalry, the cavalry behind would hit them because of the uncontrollable speed.

In the end, maybe the friendly army killed more people than Wu Jun killed by mistake.

In fact, Wu Sangui had already discovered Zhu Cihong's actions. As a veteran on the battlefield and a qualified military commander, understanding the situation on the battlefield was only the most basic ability for him.

But it was one thing to discover Zhu Cihong's actions, but another to make a decision.

In order to eat Zhu Cihong's former army as quickly as possible, Wu Sangui has already dispatched all the troops around him that can be dispatched.

He originally thought that no matter how elite Zhu Cixiang's front army was, they would not be able to survive his sudden attack for too long. As long as he defeated Zhu Cixiang's front army with a thunderous force, the soldiers behind him would naturally collapse, crazy. Run backwards.

It's a pity that Zhu Cihong's former army has a strong will to fight. Although most of them are not skilled in martial arts, in order to repay Zhu Cihong who has always regarded them highly and treated them favorably, none of the standard-bearer guards deserted.

So Wu Jun, who was planning to defeat the Ming army's former army with a thunderous blow, was entangled in this way, so that Wu Sangui had no choice but to deal with Zhu Cihong, who led the cavalry to support him.

Wu Sangui had no way to deal with it, so Zhu Cihong naturally wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to kill and injure those Wu army infantry and horse soldiers as much as possible.

I saw him leading the cavalry to form a circular formation, like a circular saw, circling behind Wu Jun non-stop, killing Wu Jun with the sword and gun in his hand. As time went by, Zhu Cihong quickly Halfway around Wu Jun and Qian Jun.

Countless horse infantrymen of the Wu army did not expect so many cavalrymen of the Ming army to appear behind them.

When the remaining half of the Wu army discovered that Zhu Cixiang appeared in their field of vision, they did not flinch, but charged forward.

Although they all know that Zhu Cixiang is the new Ming Emperor, what does that have to do with them?Although they used to be Guan Ning's army who were paid by the Ming Dynasty, that was all in the past.

Now they are the soldiers under Wu Sangui, Prince of Pingxi in the Tatar Qing Dynasty. They eat Wu Sangui's food and fight Wu Sangui's banner. Except for Wu Sangui, they dare to fight anyone.

Don't talk about Zhu Cihong, even if Zhu Cihong's dead father, Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youjian, is here, they can still beat him.

It's a pity that although they still have high fighting spirit, their bodies no longer agree. After fighting fiercely with the former army of the Ming army for a long time, and rushing into the formation of the Ming army for an unknown number of times, their physical strength has already been exhausted. Fighting in one breath.

Fortunately, midsummer has passed, otherwise they would feel dizzy and dizzy just standing here, let alone fighting fiercely with the Ming army.

I'm afraid that many people will directly pass out from heatstroke in the armor. Although the northern latitude is high, the summer in the north is not worse than that in the south.

"Soldiers, work harder, these traitors will be defeated by us immediately." Seeing that Wu Jun gradually became unable to resist, in order to speed up the defeat of the enemy, Zhu Cihong encouraged the soldiers again.

Seeing that the emperor came to the battlefield in person and spoke to them and encouraged them, the morale of the flag-bearing guards and imperial guards was greatly boosted. They all fought with 120% of their strength like chicken blood.

During the revitalization of the Ming army, a pawn fell down, and before the officer commanded, other pawns went up to fill the position.

On the other hand, the Wu army retreated while fighting. No one thought about maintaining the formation of the army. The Ming army surrendered.

After a while, the Wu army who ambushed the former army of the Ming army and besieged them was defeated. They threw away their helmets and armor. Most of them ran back desperately, but a small number of them ran to both sides.

Now that the Wu army was defeated, Wu Sangui had no reserve team, and no one could come out to restrain their actions. No one could control them wherever they went.

"Woohoo! We have won, and the traitors have been defeated by us." Although the Wu army was defeated, the Ming army did not chase after it, but stood still and cheered.

Because Zhu Cihong was worried that there were other ambush soldiers of the Qing army in front, he did not let the soldiers chase the defeated Wu army. He only sent two small teams of four to five hundred cavalry to chase the retreating Wu army, and from time to time rushed into the chaotic Wu army infantry team. Inside, he cut off the heads of several people and then forced them to kneel on the ground and surrender.

As for Wu Jun's cavalry soldiers, relying on the physical strength and mobility of their horses, they had already escaped on horseback, and they were almost at Wu Sangui's side now.

At this time, Wu Sangui saw that Zhu Cixiang had no intention of pursuing, so he quickly ran out with his own soldiers, collected the defeated soldiers, restrained them, and then slowly walked towards the Duduo Camp.

Although this ambush failed, the desired results were not achieved, and his own army was defeated, but Wu Sangui is the Prince of Pingxi in the Qing Dynasty after all, he will be fine, and these soldiers are the capital of his life, He must save them.

But at this moment, two teams of cavalry sent by Zhu Cixiang discovered Wu Sangui's traces, and immediately shouted, "The person surrounded by people in front is Wu Sangui. Brothers, you have made great contributions and become a general. Just fight here. Kill me." .”

Immediately afterwards, the commanders of the two cavalry teams galloped in the direction of Wu Sangui. In the eyes of Wu Jun, who was in a state of disarray, it looked like a mountain collapsed and the ground cracked.
