The sound of intensive horse hoofbeats was accompanied by crisp gunshots. Hong Chengchou did not expect that the Eight Banners Army actually launched an attack on Zhenbeiguan with its main cavalry.

The main force of the Eight Banners Army is the Manchu Banner, and the absolute main force of the Manchu Banner is cavalry. The Mongolian Eight Banners are also mostly cavalry, but they are not the absolute main force. The Han Eight Banners are mostly infantry. Every time they attack a city, they

Generally, the Han Eight Banners are the vanguard. If the Han Eight Banners' attack is unfavorable, the Meng Eight Banners will launch a tentative attack. As the main force, the Man Eight Banners may not launch another attack. Moreover, the Man Eight Banners and the Meng Eight Banners are used to fighting in the wild and are not very familiar with them.

In the battle to siege the city and the stronghold, Nurhaci of Houjin was injured in the battle of siege and stronghold, and died soon after in the Battle of Ningyuan.

After experiencing a painful lesson, the commanders of the Eight Banners Army paid special attention to protecting their main force in every battle. It was rare that the main force of the Eight Banners directly launched an attack during a battle.

Around the wooden fence defense line, there were 30,000 infantrymen of the Denglai New Army, 20,000 of whom raised their percussion flintlocks and fired at the charging Eight Banners Army cavalry, while the other 10,000 lit their rifles.

Rockets were thrown towards the charging Eight Banners Army cavalry. At the same time, arrows rained from the sky towards the soldiers of the Denglai New Army.

The fighting was brutal. There is no doubt about this. After several attacks, the Eight Banners Army's sergeants also became smarter. Their charging formation was very scattered and looked very large. However, there were not many sergeants participating in the charge. This is

The best way to avoid firearms attacks is for the soldiers of Denglai New Army to replenish a large number of bullets and rockets, so they don't have to worry about lack of ammunition in a short period of time.

The main cavalry of the Eight Banners Army have very strong personal combat effectiveness. Once they break through the defense line, individual sergeants will fight desperately with the soldiers of the Denglai New Army, thus causing trouble for the entire defense line. Therefore, the commander of the Denglai New Army

He will never be negligent and will definitely fight back all the charging Eight Banners Army sergeants.

Both sides are working hard and no one will retreat.

The Eight Banners Army's arrow rain was still tricky. A large number of sergeants of Denglai's New Army suffered casualties due to the Eight Banner Army's arrow rain. Moreover, the charging Eight Banner Army sergeants could also draw their bows and set arrows while on horseback. The bows and arrows shot by these cavalry were even more powerful.

fatal.

Because the fighting distance between the two sides was too close, more than ten Hongyi cannons could not be used, which weakened the power of Denglai's new army firearms. When the battle reached this level, it was basically a contest of willpower between the sergeants on both sides.

Hong Chengchou held a telescope and stood on the closing platform, not afraid of the occasional bows and arrows. On the contrary, the guards and soldiers around him were highly nervous and waved their spears and steel knives from time to time to block the speeding bows and arrows.

Half a quarter of an hour passed, and the expressionless Hong Chengchou put down the telescope in his hand and spoke to the messenger next to him.

"Order the 10,000 cavalry on the right wing to launch an attack on the Eight Banners Army, and tell them to kill the enemy ruthlessly. These Eight Banners Army cavalry are the elites of Dorgon and Duduo. If they kill them, the morale of the Eight Banners Army will definitely be improved.

Frustrated..."

When the messenger turned around with his fists clasped, Hong Chengchou added something.

"Tell the charging cavalry not to pursue them. Just drive the Eight Banners Army cavalry out of their defensive positions. Remember, this is a death order and no one is allowed to disobey it..."

The deafening sound of horse hooves sounded again, and the 10,000 Denglai New Army cavalry soldiers on the right wing rushed towards the battlefield with shouts...

...

Duduo, who was holding a telescope, had a smile on his face. He launched a charge against Zhenbeiguan with 3,000 cavalrymen under the true yellow flag. He was not thinking that the possibility of these 3,000 men breaking through Zhenbeiguan did not exist.

The purpose of the charge of three thousand elite cavalry is to draw out the cavalry of the Denglai New Army. When the cavalry of the Denglai New Army pursues them, the sergeants with Zhenghuang Banner and Xianghuang Banner who are preparing to go out in the rear will desperately encircle the Denglai New Army's cavalry.

Once the cavalry caused serious damage to the cavalry of the Denglai New Army and severely damaged the morale of the Denglai New Army, Duduo would personally lead the army and launch an attack on Zhenbeiguan.

Of course, if the three thousand elite cavalry can break through the defense line of the Denglai New Army and cause trouble to the sergeants of the Denglai New Army, Duduo will also lead the army to launch a charge against Zhenbeiguan, and will immediately report to Dorgon.

When the time comes, the Eight Banners Army launches an all-out attack on Zhenbeiguan, and will surely be able to completely capture Zhenbeiguan.

Neither Duduo nor Dorgon considered annihilating the Denglai New Army that was defending Zhenbeiguan. Their purpose was to capture Zhenbeiguan and ensure that the main force of the Eight Banners Army could smoothly withdraw northward from Zhenbeiguan.

Now it seems that the goal has been achieved.

Using the most elite cavalry as bait to lure the Denglai New Army's cavalry into a full-scale attack is something that most people, including Dorgon and Azig, cannot make up their mind to do. The Eight Banners Army's losses were too great, and the elite cavalry

There are not many left. These people are the fire of the Eight Banners Army and the fire of the Qing Dynasty. The rise of the Qing Dynasty in the future will depend on these people.

The reason why Duduo made such a determination was that he was not convinced. Dorgon's words had been swirling in his mind. In order to control the yellow flag, he had no choice but to kill Sony and others. This can be explained in the past, but let's give it a try.

The soldiers of the Denglai New Army who rushed to help easily bypassed Tieling and arrived at Zhenbeiguan. This is really unreasonable.

Duduo didn't know why he made such a major mistake. Such a mistake would be very fatal to the Eight Banners Army and even the Qing Dynasty. This time he became a forward and led the army to attack Zhenbeiguan. It can be said that Duduo

The opportunity to finally prove himself and win Zhenbeiguan is the foundation for Duduo to continue to gain a foothold in the Qing Dynasty, and it is also the key to the continuation of the Qing Dynasty.

Duduo must make meritorious deeds and capture Zhenbeiguan, otherwise he will become a sinner of the Qing Dynasty. Even if he goes underground, he will not be able to face his father and the late emperor.

A huge crashing sound appeared, and the battlefield scene became more bloody. Horses kept wailing and soldiers kept falling.

Duduo's eyes widened with a furious look on his face.

"Who and which officer led these three thousand cavalry? Why can't I remember? This bastard, why don't you retreat immediately? Are you looking for death? The Denglai New Army has so many cavalry and so many infantry. If they are surrounded

Once it’s gone, I can’t evacuate...”

When Duduo roared angrily, Mele Zhangjing beside him spoke cautiously.

"Your Highness, if the three thousand cavalry evacuate immediately, it will definitely arouse the suspicion of Denglai's new army. It is unlikely that they will pursue them. They should hold on for a while..."

Duduo glared fiercely at Mele Zhangjing, who was also beside him. Of course he understood this truth, but if the cavalry of Zhenghuang Banner suffered too much loss, he would not be able to bear the responsibility and could not explain it. After all, Zhenghuang Banner's status was extraordinary.

"Okay, no need to say more, you immediately issue an order asking all the cavalry sergeants of Zhenghuang Banner to evacuate the battlefield. Regardless of whether the Denglai New Army cavalry is pursuing or not, they must evacuate quickly..."

Mele Zhangjing went to give the order. Dodo raised his telescope, but his body was shaking slightly. He had discovered that the three thousand Zhenghuang Banner cavalry sergeants did not want to evacuate, but had been captured by the Denglai New Army cavalry and infantry.

Surrounded, it may be impossible to evacuate.

Duduo, whose face was livid, looked at the messengers beside him and issued the order word by word.

"Order all sergeants to launch an attack on Zhenbeiguan. Anyone who dares to retreat will be killed without mercy..."

This order from Duduo is quite interesting. The Eight Banners Army prides itself on being the most courageous army in the world. When fighting, it always rushes forward. No one will retreat without any reason. The officers of the Eight Banners Army will rarely give orders to kill those who retreat.

However, in the past few days, the Eight Banners Army and the Denglai New Army had fought against each other, but they did not gain any advantage. Instead, they suffered heavy casualties. Therefore, sometimes the sergeants of the Eight Banners Army ran for their lives and did not obey the officers' orders.

Already.

Duduo had no choice but to use an all-out charge to rescue these three thousand elite cavalry.

...

"What's wrong? Are you anxious so quickly? Don't you plan to lure out the cavalry of Denglai's new army..."

When Dorgon's roaring voice came, Dodo's body trembled and he turned around quickly.

"Second brother, why are you here? Aren't you sitting in the rear..."

Dorgon's face was livid, he stared at Duduo, and spoke unceremoniously.

"There is nothing wrong with wanting to use tactics, but it also depends on the time. The purpose of the Denglai New Army is to guard Zhenbeiguan and prevent our army from evacuating from Zhenbeiguan. You use the most elite cavalry to lure them to attack. They

Are you going to be fooled? If this move can be used, I have already thought of it. Even if you sacrifice three thousand of the most elite cavalry, you can really do it..."

Duduo, whose face turned pale, thought about opening his mouth to defend himself, but Dorgon stopped him with a wave of his hand.

"No need to say more, I will immediately withdraw my troops and order the cavalry of the Zhenghuang Banner to desperately evacuate the battlefield..."

Duduo thought about opening his mouth to defend again, but couldn't open his mouth.

Dorgon didn't look at Doduo, who was pale and trembling slightly. He raised his telescope and looked at the battlefield ahead, and the look on his face became increasingly ugly.

The sound of gongs and drums has sounded, and the order to retreat has been issued. However, the cavalry on the battlefield are still fighting desperately. It is not that they do not want to evacuate, but that they have been heavily surrounded by sergeants of the Denglai New Army and have almost no chance to evacuate.

Dorgon put down his telescope, and his eyes almost burst out with fire. The three thousand elite cavalry under the Zhenghuang Banner have extraordinary combat effectiveness. Many of these people will directly become palace guards. After taking Zhenbeiguan, they will

, these people will become the greatest hope for the Qing Dynasty to rise again, but Duduo actually sent these most elite cavalry to the battlefield as bait.
