"Huh?" Suddenly, Duduo trembled, his eyes red and bloodshot.
He rested for two hours and then couldn't sleep again.
Although he was determined to walk at night, the horse that had been charging all day could no longer withstand it. If he could not rest for a night, he would fall down in an instant.
My heart is already filled with chills, and no matter how bright the bonfire is, it can't make me feel warm.
"What time is it?" Dodo asked while eating scones.
"It's almost nine o'clock (five o'clock)!"
Nushan said in a deep voice.
"But what's going on? Have all the scouts gone out? Is the sentry okay?"
"They've all been scattered, but there's only one scout, three or five of them, who haven't returned yet."
"Well?" Duduo said angrily: "Why don't you report this situation?"
"Your Majesty, I don't see my fingers at night. I don't know how many people got lost along the way. I can't take care of them."
Nushan said helplessly.
"No!" Duduo said solemnly: "If we don't cross the river for a day, we can't let down our guard for a day. Let the boys get up. It's time for us to set off."
"But the war horses haven't rested enough yet, and I'm afraid they won't be able to hold on to Yuanqu."
Nushan couldn't help but say: "Manchu warriors who are not accompanied by war horses are more likely to get into trouble."
"There is nothing we can do."
Duduo gritted his teeth, why didn't he cherish his war horse? But now it is indeed imminent.
"If the horse is gone, you can find it again, but if the man is gone, it is really gone."
Duduo's military order aroused a lot of complaints, but the Eight Banners was also realistic. There was still a choice between war horses and one's own life.
As soon as the Qing army moved, Li Jingwu immediately woke up: "We are moving before dawn. Have we been discovered?"
However, looking at it like this, he couldn't take care of that much.
After taking a sip of wine, my whole body felt warm.
Immediately, he took out the fried rice noodles, drank it with wine, and swallowed it directly. He could fill his stomach at this time, so how could he take so much care?
The cavalry battalion began to move.
"rush--"
Li Jingwu's whole body was frozen and his cheeks hurt.
So did the other cavalry.
However, the goal is ahead, and their hearts are eager.
The Qing army, which had been making preparations, suddenly sounded the alarm.
I saw thousands of Ming troops coming to fight in full armor. They were fierce and unstoppable. They were obviously well prepared.
At this time, the sky was still dark and gray, and Duduo felt that there were people in front, back, left and right, and the momentum was overwhelming.
If it were an ordinary army, or an intruder, they would have been frightened by this momentum, and would even be defeated without a fight.
And those around him are warriors who have experienced hundreds of battles. Whether it is a surprise attack or an encounter, they have long been prepared.
Before he even gave the order, all the generals gathered together and formed a formation without fear.
Even after they got off their horses, they were already trembling and their legs and feet were feeling a little uncomfortable.
The run was too long, there wasn't much rest, and it was even less satisfying.
You must know that a horse will not be fat without night grass. It must eat nine liters of grain and grass every day, and it must rest properly, otherwise it will become rapidly thin and unfit for use.
Of course, the combat power will also be reduced sharply.
On the Ming army's side, they had one man and two horses, which was more convenient after all. They had plenty of horsepower and had a slight advantage.
But in terms of coordination and riding skills, they were slightly inferior to the Qing army.
Although they were carefully selected from prisoners, the cavalry battalion was formed in a short period of time. They bullied others, but they could not gain the upper hand among the Manchu cavalry.
The fierce flag soldiers chose to fight back without hesitation. With ferocious faces and a neat lineup, they accepted orders in an orderly manner and fought back against the Ming army.
Like a wounded tiger, the reaction was huge.
"Even big insects have to be subdued."
Li Jingwu was shocked. Of course he understood that this was the biggest difficulty the cavalry battalion had encountered since its establishment.
However, this battle must not be retreated.
Unlike other infantry, cavalry generals generally have to take the lead and boost morale.
"Today, I swear to kill Duduo, and the Ming Dynasty will be victorious——"
"The Ming Dynasty will be victorious -" the cavalry battalion cheered, and their morale continued to rise.
"snort--"
With a muffled grunt, Li Jingwu looked at the ferocious Eight Banners Cavalry and threw the spear forward fiercely on the horse's back.
The cavalrymen followed suit and used their strength.
Although the accuracy was not good, hundreds of people were killed as soon as they met.
After that, the two armies engaged in close combat between cavalry and cavalry.
Light snow began to fall in the sky, falling to the ground one by one, intertwining on the battlefield of blood and flesh.
It is impossible for the soldiers of both armies to retreat.
In this case, the winner can only be determined.
Duduo was wearing armor and under the cover of his personal guards, he moved forward unscrupulously.
Li Jingwu was not to be outdone. He used a spear very well.
Unlike the previous Ming armies, the cavalry battalion was not only equipped as well as the Qing Dynasty, but also had an unyielding will to fight.
It was true that Duduo Ruzhou suffered such a heavy defeat, which shattered the Eight Banners' invincible image. At this time, the cavalry battalion was in the mood of beating a drowned dog, without any fear.
In this case, with a condescending attitude and well-equipped equipment, the two armies were even fighting inextricably.
This was almost never seen on previous battlefields.
The more Duduo fought, the more frightened he became. This Ming army was evil.
The decisive battle of the cavalry relies on the horses to sprint back and forth and fight.
Therefore, a big horse versus a small horse, a good horse versus a bad horse, can almost determine the outcome of a war.
To put it bluntly, Liaodong horses are better than the plateau horses of the cavalry battalion, but the gap is not irreparable.
The cavalry battalion consisted of one person and two horses. Even if the horses under their legs were tired, they were still stronger than the Qing army, which was nearly out of strength.
On the narrow battlefield, horses neighed, armor collided, lances broke, and countless cavalrymen panted and their blood boiled.
After fighting for half an hour, the cavalry battalion was at a disadvantage and was suppressed.
The two sides faced each other and rested. The horses' nostrils kept blowing hot air, and their hooves seemed to be sore.
Li Jingwu looked forward and suddenly said: "Take out the earplugs and block the ears of the war horse."
The strange actions of the Ming army were quickly noticed by Duduo, but at this time, he could not control that much.
Because the Qing army's war horses were already exhausted, they had been running for a long distance without enough rest. A fierce battle completely consumed their lives.
"Kill——" Li Jingwu was overjoyed when he noticed the state of the Qing army and immediately forced the army to fight again.
As they approached, the riders with superb riding skills took out the grenades from their waists, blew the grenades hard, lit them and threw them forward.
"Rumble--"
Hundreds of grenades rushed forward, and the loud bombing sound caused the Qing army's horses to lose control instantly and start running wildly.
A gap immediately appeared in the Qing army's cavalry phalanx.
"Now!" Li Jingwu was overjoyed and took the lead, tearing through the Qing army like a sharp cone.
Duduo yelled, it was obviously a cavalry battle, why was gunpowder mixed in?
The sudden explosives not only caused the horses to lose control, but also caused the barely maintained military formation to completely collapse.
"escape--"
The situation was reversed in an instant, and the outnumbered Qing army was already suppressed and beaten.
Duduo took his personal guards and fled impatiently.
Li Jingwu was not willing to let him go, he was heading towards him like a sharp sword.
At this time, without Duduo's control, the Qing army completely collapsed.
Facing the Qing army that was constantly blocking them, Li Jingwu not only threw spears, but also used grenades constantly, with constant roars.
Hearing this sound, Duduo was even more frightened.
"Get rid of the false king!"
Li Jingwu pushed his horse hard and rushed forward without mercy.
At this time, the sequelae of horse fatigue started, and Duduo was directly thrown to the ground by his own horse.
The war horse's nose was bleeding and it was gasping for air, but it was already exhausted.
The soldiers were busy helping him, and Duduo was about to change his horse.
Li Jingwu suddenly rushed over, but the distance was only two or three feet away: "The false king, please go away——"
Under the roar, Li Jingwu did not hesitate and directly threw the spear in his hand with all his strength.
"Click——"
During the lightning and thunder, Duduo's thigh was instantly pierced.
Even so, the dense soldiers still surrounded him and tried their best to cover his escape.
Seeing the airtight soldiers, Li Jingwu was furious. He stopped his horse and said to the cavalry beside him:
"Throw all the remaining grenades over to me."
"You are an unscrupulous guy. I originally wanted to offer a prisoner to His Highness Prince Yu, but now I can only offer my head."
As a result, Duduo and his soldiers failed to react in time, and dozens of grenades came with a bang.
"Rumble--"
The dense explosions opened up the entire world.
