On the south bank of the Wei River, another fight broke out in the blink of an eye!
Because Li Yan and Lady Hong's troops were impartial, they were blocked in front of the bridgehead on the south bank of the pontoon bridge. With his back to the bridgehead, he set up a moon-quenching formation, blocking Duolong's only way out. Therefore, Duolong didn't care about the lack of men and horses, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and lead his five or six hundred two-hundred-banner warriors to rush towards the Queyue Spear Formation set up by Li Yan and the Red Lady.
But before these Manchu warriors hit the gun formation, a harsh bang suddenly sounded. Then there was a sound of bowstrings, and hundreds of arrowheads came out from the strings, arcing through the air, and then landed among the charging Tatar cavalry.
The screams of people, the neighing of horses, and the sound of human bodies falling were heard one after another. It was unknown how many warriors were shot off their horses. But Duolong no longer has the mind to take care of this. The gun formation in front of him, as motionless as the forest, is really fatal.
If he couldn't get through, he, the number one warrior in Manchuria, would be doomed!
He took the lead and led the charge. But his eyes were fixed on the approaching gun array in front of him, and he watched the gleaming gun tips pointing towards him, without moving.
The Eight Banners soldiers running behind Duolong also started shooting arrows. Two to three hundred feather arrows were shot out by the Manchurian soldiers running on horseback, and landed in the middle of the gun array in front. Duolong clearly saw that many people fell to the ground after being hit by arrows, but the remaining warriors remained unwavering.
These people are also stupid! Duolong is really on the verge of tears... He has fought to the death with the Ming army so many times. Before today, he had never seen a Ming army infantry numbering less than three to five thousand that could withstand it. Five or six hundred and eighty flag vests attacked.
But for some reason today, all the Ming soldiers they encountered were not afraid of the Eight Banners soldiers and dared to confront them head-on...
boom!
A violent collision has occurred!
Duolong's war horse collided with a spear at high speed, and the tip of the spear penetrated into the body of the war horse. The tall horse neighed in despair, while the soldier holding the spear was hit by the body of the war horse that was inertially moving forward, and flew out violently. , and also knocked over several soldiers behind him.
Duo Lung, the number one warrior in Manchuria, had a hard time too. He was also thrown off his horse, flew over the heads of several "Blue Soldiers", and then fell heavily into the mud. But his reaction was really even. When he was in mid-air, he held his head with both hands, curled up his body, and smashed it down like a ball, minimizing the damage caused by hitting the ground.
After falling, he ignored the pain radiating from all parts of his body. He jumped up as a kite, drew out his sword, and then with a strange cry, he rushed towards the knight in front of him, as if he wanted to snatch the opponent's horse.
While rushing forward, Doron also took a look at the knight's face. He looked a bit charming and had no beard. He didn't look like a man, but more like a woman. He should be a soft persimmon!
Duolong is the best warrior in Manchuria! His martial arts skills are very high...otherwise it would be impossible for him to suddenly burst into violence after falling off his horse while wearing dozens of kilograms of heavy armor.
"Wow ah ah..."
When Duolong exploded, he also let out a terrifying scream, his eyes were red with a fierce look. The "female knight" was indeed so shocked that she couldn't even pick up the sword, but only raised two blunderbuss!
It turns out that the Red Lady suffered the loss of a firecracker last time and learned her lesson after having someone tie her into a rice dumpling and give it to Zhu Cihong. I felt that no matter how good my martial arts skills were, I couldn't defeat fire guns, so I bought myself two hand guns for self-defense. They really came in handy today.
Gun! ? So despicable!
Doron knew something was wrong when he saw the opponent raising his gun. Just as he was about to dodge, he saw fireworks erupting from the two handguns, and then he was hit twice on the right chest and left arm. A heart-piercing pain came, causing him to immediately lose all his strength. However, the body was still rushing towards the "female knight" under the influence of inertia. Just as he was about to collide, two spears penetrated horizontally, and the spear points pierced the hard armor, barely piercing it. Then it got stuck between the armor plates and the chain mail, unable to get in any further.
However, these two spears also blocked Duolong's body, causing him to fall heavily to the ground. His helmet fell off in the process, and his shaved forehead and braid on the back of his head were exposed.
"Hey, why is it a Tatar?" The red lady on horseback recognized that this hairstyle was unique to Manchurians, and was stunned at the moment.
Li Yan beside him was also a little strange, "Could it be that the Tatars are pretending to be the Ming army?"
Duolong, who was lying on the ground, had not yet expired. When he heard the words of the Red Lady and Li Yan, he couldn't help but smile bitterly: Only then did you know that grandpa is a heavenly soldier of the Eight Banners...
Just as Duolong, the first warrior in Manchuria, was defeated by the Red Lady with two fire guns, more Eight Banners cavalry rushed into the Queyue Spear Formation like a strong wind. The sharp spears pierced the bodies of the war horses and Eight Banners soldiers. At the same time, many soldiers under Li Yan and Hong Niangzi were knocked away by the galloping horses.
The Queyue formation set up by Li Yan and Lady Hong was still too thin, and the Eight Banners soldiers tried their best to hit it like crazy. After paying the price of nearly 200 casualties, they finally managed to break away a corner.
Li Yan and Hong Niangzi, who had just been shocked by the first Manchurian warrior, had already retreated to the bridgehead of the pontoon with dozens of mounted guards. Seeing that the Queyue formation he had set up was broken through, he ordered the cavalry to counterattack. They didn't have many cavalry, only about 300 cavalry, divided into six teams. The two of them led one team, and the remaining five teams attacked in turn, attacking the Eight Banners soldiers who broke into Queyue Formation from the side.
This cavalry was carefully trained by Li Yan according to ancient methods. They are not large in number, but they have experienced battles for a long time and have strong combat effectiveness. It is definitely not comparable to the Eight Banners Soldiers in full condition, but now these Eight Banners Soldiers are no longer in condition. They encountered two groups of Ming troops who were not afraid of the Tatars. They were bombarded by firecrackers and blocked by Queyue Spear Formation. Even the first warrior in Manchuria died in the battle. It's really unlucky and it's level eight. Everything's gone, so how can you still think about fighting?
Moreover, Li Yan deliberately opened the gate of the bridgehead and did not place blocking troops in front of the gate.
In other words, what lies in front of the Eight Banners soldiers after breaking through Queyue Formation is a way to escape to the north bank of the Wei River!
Seeing that their way of survival was right in front of them, the Eight Banners soldiers who had long lost their fighting spirit could still care about their flanks? They all rushed towards the bridgehead, wishing they could put on their wings and fly across the Wei River right away. In the end, only about 30% of the Tatar soldiers who rushed into Queyue Formation crossed the pontoon bridge, and the rest were picked out by Li Yan and Red Lady's cavalry.
Just when Li Yan, Hong Niangzi and his wife were about to lead the cavalry across the bridge to pursue them, they were stopped by Chen Yidao, who was arriving on Pegasus.
"But the Red Lady?"
The red lady recognized Chen Yidao, so she cupped her hands on horseback and said, "General Chen, I and my husband have led troops to surrender to Master Qiantui! Is Master Qiantui okay? You didn't scare those Tatars, did you?"
"How could Master Qiantui be frightened by the Tatars?" Chen Yidao said, "Master Qiantui is the reincarnation of Emperor Gao, the great ancestor!"
"That's great!" Red Lady snorted coldly, "General Chen, there are still thieves to chase here... let's leave it alone for now!"
"Wait a minute!" Chen Yidao said quickly, "Mrs. Hong, please don't go out in person. Mr. Qiansui still has hundreds of cavalry. If we chase them together, we can kill the Tatars to the last few. Madam Hong, please Please follow me to see Master Qiantose! Master Qiantose has been asking about you a lot these days. He must be missing you. Who is Mr. Li? Let's go together."
miss me? The red lady's cheeks felt a little warm. Do you want to tie me up with a rope?
Li Yan frowned even more, these words sounded too weird! Is it that the man named Chen can't speak, or is it that the crown prince of the Zhu family is debauched and has cuckolded himself?
...
Zhu Cixiang was of course very happy to see Li Yan and Lady Hong coming back together! He never thought that Mr. Li Yan and Mr. Li would actually come to vote - it is said that he is one of the few capable men under Li Zicheng who is both civilized and military...
And he is from Henan!
Now that there is Su Guansheng in Shandong, there is no one in Henan who can persist in guerrilla warfare! Li Yan can go just in time... But he has to be careful. The situation in Henan is not so good. Mr. Li must not be harmed by the evil Tatars, otherwise there will be no one to take care of the red lady!
