The Sauron people live in the bitter cold land of the far north. They have to fish and hunt in the harsh living environment since childhood. The difficult environment has trained the Sauron people to be very good at riding and shooting, and they are brave and sturdy in combat.

When seven thousand Sauron soldiers suddenly appeared on the battlefield, Zhao Boyuan's eyes were still on the first line of defense. He was planning to send people to rescue the remaining Chinese military formations, and did not notice this cavalry at the first time.

However, Sauron's cavalry advanced very quickly. After passing through the first line of defense, they quickly rushed to the second line of defense, reaching a distance of eighty steps in an instant.

The Chinese troops in formation were the first to launch a counterattack, firing at the same time with their rifles and musketeers in formation.

Amidst the sound of bullets piercing the air, only the first few of Sauron's soldiers fell to the ground. The rest of Sauron's soldiers were very fast. They pulled the reins and turned to the left, heading towards the direction of the Chinese army's banner.

Sauron's soldiers crouched down, almost sticking to the other side of the horse. On the back of the fast-running horse, he quickly drew his bow and arrows, and fired arrows at the Chinese army in front.

The Sauron people have superb archery skills. On the bumpy horseback, while advancing rapidly, they can actually shoot the arrow without missing a beat. One arrow shot can hit the face and throat. The Chinese army who was hit by the arrow fell to the ground and died when it touched it.

Instead, time was in a passive position of being beaten.

Zhao Boyuan stood under the banner of the Chinese army and quickly noticed this cavalry. Looking at the black flag with blue edges and fish pattern, he secretly guessed, "Could this be the legendary Sauron cavalry?"

Sooner or later, Sauron's cavalry, which was advancing rapidly, had gone straight towards the Chinese army. Wherever the arrows hit, the Chinese soldiers screamed and fell to the ground. There was a slightly trembling arrow stuck in their face.

It's death from exhaustion.

Sauron's cavalry had amazing combat power and were indeed the ace of the Qing Dynasty. They rushed to the front of the Chinese army's formation. Sauron's soldiers pulled the reins, leaped up with their horse hooves, and rushed into the crowd of Chinese soldiers.

Sauron's cavalry lowered their bows and took out their swords. The scimitars flew left and right like lightning. While advancing rapidly, they slashed left and right. The Chinese soldiers who were blocking them were cut down to the ground one after another. It was like being in a deserted land for a moment.

Seeing the cavalry rapidly approaching the Chinese army's banner, the guards quickly protected Zhao Boyuan and evaded him.

Under the black flag with a blue border and a fish pattern, Babacha led the Sauron cavalry to charge forward, to the Chinese army's flag in the middle army, and killed the Chinese soldiers who were guarding the flag. Babacha jumped off his horse and strode to the flag.

, with a wave of his machete, he chopped down the Chinese army’s flag.

As the Chinese army's flag crashed to the ground, the Chinese troops on all sides were obviously startled. Since fighting under the Chinese army's flag, this was the first time in several years that someone had cut down the Chinese army's flag.

"Failed!"

Among the dejected Chinese soldiers, someone whispered these two words, "Failed!"

"The flag of the Chinese army has been chopped down. We are defeated!"

Babecha chopped down the Chinese army's flag, got on his horse and saw Zhao Boyuan surrounded by guards. He pointed his riding whip and shouted, "That's the leader of the thieves, capture him!"

Many Sauron cavalry jerked their horses' reins and rushed towards Zhao Boyuan!

Many soldiers behind him desperately stepped forward and resisted with their flesh and blood, but they were constantly chopped to the ground. They were close to a dozen steps behind Zhao Boyuan.

Due to the obstruction of many soldiers, the Sauron cavalry could not charge, so they had to advance while fighting. At this moment, there was a loud "boom", and four or five Sauron cavalry soldiers and two or three Chinese troops flew away at the same time.

Then there was another loud "boom", and three Sauron cavalry were killed on the spot.

Babecha turned around on his horse, alert

He was exploring the battlefield, looking for the Chinese army's artillery fire.

Zhao Boyuan and others also stood blankly on the spot, not understanding what happened, but they soon discovered the truth.

The Chinese troops on all sides retreated one after another, and the figures left behind were clearly several grenadiers missing their right arms.

Zhao Guangyuan was holding a knife and standing next to Liu Huiding covered in blood. The blocking battle just now was the most dangerous battle he had ever fought in his life. The scimitar slashed across his chest and abdomen. If he hadn't had some skills, he would have confessed on the spot.

here.

Liu Huiding's eyes were like fire, glaring at the Sauron cavalry in front of him. When the Wan army was in Chongqing, Liu Huiding summoned many soldiers from the former Ming Dynasty to surrender. Because of their failure, Zhang Xianzhong had their right arms chopped off.

Now under the banner of the Chinese Army, are we going to experience failure again?

"I'm taking the first step!" A soldier held the grenade in his arms with his left hand and rushed towards the Sauron cavalry!

There was a loud "boom" and the four Sauron soldiers were once again blown away.

Liu Huiding turned to look at Zhao Guangyuan. When their eyes met, Liu Huiding nodded.

Zhao Guangyuan stretched out his hand to say something, but when the words came to his lips, he didn't know how to say it. The left-hand legion was an old acquaintance of the Ming army. They fought alongside him in Chongqing, and now they come to Xuzhou with him again. Who deserves to die?

He is also a person who should not be sacrificed.

Zhao Guangyuan bitterly took his hand back and clenched it into a fist. Liu Huiding understood what he meant and said to Zhao Guangyuan, "A man should die in battle, not live and have his right arm chopped off!"

Liu Huiding put several grenades in his arms, pulled the lead to one place with his left hand, and finally said with a smile, "General should be happy, today I can finally avenge Chongqing's shame!"

After saying that, Liu Huiding lit the fuse in his arms and rushed towards Sauron's soldiers.

There was another loud "boom"!

Liu Huiding turned into a ball of flame, and four or five Sauron soldiers fell to the ground without any chance of breathing any more.

Zhao Guangyuan shouted, "Brother!" He reached out to grab the grenade from the grenadier on the side. Two left-handed soldiers grabbed him and said with a smile, "The general is still of great use to the head of state, let us die first!"

The left-hand soldier held the grenade, lit the fuse without hesitation, and rushed towards the Sauron cavalry.

More and more left-hand troops crowded into the center army, and more and more flames exploded among Sauron's cavalry.

When Babacha realized all this, he was stunned. Sauron's cavalry were not afraid of death. They were trained in a difficult living environment. With their bloody courage, they wanted to kill their opponents in order to survive.

!

But these people in front of me are not afraid of death, they clearly want to die!

After a moment of fear, Babacha hurriedly turned his horse's head and retreated back with many Sauron soldiers.

"The Regent's order has been completed, retreat quickly!"

But it was too late. The surrounding Chinese troops surrounded the way. Even if the scimitar struck and the body and head were separated, no one was afraid or evaded!

"Boom boom boom!"

After Liu Huiding's death, the left-hand legion became even more desperate, lighting the fuses one after another, and continuously rushed into Sauron's cavalry formation.

"Da da da!"

The soldiers pushed forward their repeating guns and fired them at the trapped Sauron soldiers in the encirclement. Without their swift mobility, more and more Sauron soldiers were knocked to the ground by bullets.

Seeing more and more Sauron soldiers being killed, and knowing that there was no way to survive, Babecha sighed and took out his scimitar.

Putting it on his neck, he twitched his hands violently, blood spurted out, and then his body went limp and fell to the foot of the horse.

The remaining Sauron cavalry huddled in one place, shooting at the Chinese army with bows and arrows. Under the attack of multiple repeaters and grenades, no one survived.

Among the broken corpses of men and horses, a damaged fish-pattern flag with a black background and blue edges lay tilted upside down. After paying a heavy price, the Chinese army finally annihilated the Sauron cavalry.

Everyone raised the banner again, Zhao Guangyuan's eyes were already red, leading the Chinese army forward to stabilize the second line of defense.

The Chinese army's line stabilized once again. Just when Sauron's soldiers chopped down the banner, the Eight Banners' heavy cavalry who rushed forward again were already at the end of their strength.

The men and horses had exhausted their physical strength. They suffered heavy casualties under the attack of the arrayed Chinese army and were quickly defeated.

As Sauron's troops were annihilated and tens of thousands of Eight Banners heavy cavalry were defeated, the overall situation of Manchu Qing defeat was determined, and tens of thousands of green battalion soldiers were unable to save the day.

When Jierhalang saw the flag of the Chinese army being chopped down, he thought that the overall situation was decided and the Chinese army was about to be destroyed, so he pressed the Eight Banners heavy cavalry who had just fought a fierce battle again.

Unexpectedly, the situation suddenly changed not long after, and the Chinese army's flag was raised again. The Sauron cavalry's black background and blue border fish pattern flag was taken to the front of the formation by the Chinese army and thrown to the ground for ridicule!

For Sauron's soldiers, there is only one result for the capture of the flag, and that is the death of the entire army.

When the Sauron soldiers and the Eight Banners Army were holding down the formation and supervising the battle, the Green Camp soldiers and Nanjing's miscellaneous soldiers still had the strength to fight. Now that their trump card is gone, these people have no hope at all.

Jierhalang was no longer able to save the war situation, so he took the remaining Eight Banners troops and discarded their baggage, quickly retreated eastward along the canal, and then fled north from Pizhou.

The commander fled with the Eight Banners Army. The remaining green soldiers and miscellaneous soldiers did not have any fighting spirit. Some threw away their weapons and knelt down to surrender, while others fled in all directions.

Li Chengdong on the left wing was struggling to hold on under the attack of 40,000 green battalions. Unexpectedly, the situation suddenly turned sharply. The attacking Manchu and Qing soldiers were in chaos, and a large number of green battalion soldiers fled towards the canal line.

As soon as Li Chengdong saw it, he knew that the Manchu and Qing soldiers were defeated southward, which must be the outcome of the war in the direction of the Chinese army. He sent detective horses to investigate the Chinese army, and at the same time sent people to pursue the defeated troops southward.

Zhao Boyuan ordered Yang Qingshan on the right wing to pursue Jierhalang. The Chinese army pursued the defeated troops in the canal area and captured 180,000 Manchu soldiers and horses. Those who swam in the canal and drowned were not counted.

Liu Liangzuo, one of the forward troops, was captured alive. Liu Zeqing, knowing that he had no way out, committed suicide before the Chinese army arrived. Geng Zhongming, escorted by his personal guards, fled south to the canal line, where he was caught up by the Chinese army.

The main force of the Manchu Qing Dynasty collapsed, leaving only the Southern Route Army in the Fenghuang Mountain and Dalong Lake areas. At this time, the commander of the Southern Route Army, Prince Duanzhong Bolo, knew nothing about the failure of the northern line and was still fighting with Chen Bajiao in the Fenghuang Mountain area.

Zhao Boyuan led his army southward and surrounded Boluo's army from three directions: southeast, north and south.

Chen Bajiao, who was fighting a defensive battle in Fenghuang Mountain, received news of the victory on the North Road and quickly fought out from Fenghuang Mountain and surrounded the Manchu and Qing troops on the west bank of Dalong Lake.

The main force of 400,000 people collapsed, and the 100,000 green battalion soldiers of the South Route Army had no fighting spirit. Only Bolo led the 18,000 banner troops who tried to break out, but were completely wiped out at the bank of Dalong Lake.

The Battle of Xuzhou was won. Zhao Boyuan took inventory of the battlefield. In this battle, 7,000 Sauron cavalry, the ace of the Qing Dynasty, were wiped out, 25,000 Eight Banner soldiers and horses, 140,000 Green Camp soldiers, and 110,000 Chinese soldiers died in the battle. It was the worst battle.
