1063 Desperate Dorgon
There was no room for escape in the short cannon cart, and the two gunners were instantly killed in the cannon cart. In this way, the Qing soldiers conquered the two cannon carts with the casualties guarding the gun!
The main force of the Qing army had already rushed to the square formation from both sides of the corpse hill, and some Qing soldiers jumped off their horses, climbed up the corpse hill, and rushed down from a high place!
At this time, the front row of spearmen had already suffered all casualties, leaving only a thin line. They could not resist the crazy attack of the Qing army no matter what! However, the musketeers also fired the last row of lead bullets, then took out the bayonet and stuck it on the muzzle, leaning close to each other to prepare for hand-to-hand combat.
The spearmen fought back with all their might, dancing spears to stop the Qing army from approaching. However, their front was too thin and they broke through as soon as they rushed! So the spearmen were approached after stabbing several Qing soldiers!
The fast-moving spearmen directly threw away the spears and hid behind the musket soldiers. Those who were slower were chopped down by the Qing soldiers! The Qing soldiers immediately died in the bayonets!
The commander of the phalanx issued an order, ordering all the people in the phalanx to retreat slowly. This order was issued very timely. Because the Qing army was surrounding the two wings. The spearmen on the two wings were also very thin and could not support it. It would be better to retreat behind the musket soldiers and regroup into a separate small square array, which could also cover the retreat with the musket soldiers.
Fortunately, the infantry phalanx on the right was still firing muskets to suppress the Qing army's charge. The commander then ordered all spearmen to leave the phalanx and evacuate back first. Because the spearmen who had been approached by people at this time were far less useful than the bayonets of muskets.
So now, the musket soldiers used bayonets to cover the few remaining spearmen's retreat. After paying a considerable price, the soldiers retreated from the middle of the rear square formation.
In a sense, this square formation has been defeated by the Qing army! But the price paid by the Qing army is not bad!
To break a square formation of less than two thousand people, the Qing army used the power of five thousand people, but there were still hundreds of war horses to break the square formation! However, most of the soldiers of this square formation still evacuated in an orderly manner.
Although the number of casualties in this square
It was far greater than the Qing soldiers, but they completely curbed the speed of the Qing army's attack. The Qing army is now trapped in the pincer attack of three square formations. Under the bombardment of the muskets and cannons of the three square formations, the number of casualties of Qing soldiers has increased steadily!
Just as Duoduo was about to increase his investment, a rapid horn sounded behind him! He really summoned them to withdraw his troops!
When Duoduo looked back, a cold sweat broke out! Because he saw Liu Pei's cavalry approaching quickly! Dorgon had sent more than 7,000 cavalry around him to fight against the more than 2,000 black-armored cavalry.
However, Dorgon and Duoduo are not stupid. The ability of those more than 2,000 cavalrymen to emerge through the formation only shows that their combat effectiveness is very strong! So they will never underestimate the combat effectiveness of this cavalry! What's more, a large number of Qing soldiers were driven over like sheep driving behind them!
Duoduo immediately directed his soldiers to retreat to Dorgon. However, when Liu Pei saw Duoduo retreating, he immediately ordered all the square formations to move counterclockwise with the left wing as the center of the circle, slowly set up a diagonal line of all the square formations, and then leaned towards Dorgon.
Liu Pei's intention was to cut between Dorgon and the camp and cut off their retreat. Duoduo also discovered this and immediately ordered the Qing soldiers to continue to harass the square formation, making their actions extremely slow.
Just when Liu Pei was moving, the more than 7,000 cavalry sent by Dorgon had already fought with more than 2,000 heavily armored cavalry!
When they were far away, the Qing soldiers could not see anything special about the heavy armored cavalry. But when they arrived close, they gasped! Can this kind of iron can really be beaten?
But the people had already arrived in front of the formation, so where could they hesitate? The Qing soldiers rushed up roared and the heavy armored cavalry also accelerated, and pulled out their weapons to start hedging!
When the two sides contacted each other, the Qing soldiers fell to the ground like reeds blown by the wind! The heavily armored cavalrymen were thrown into the snow pile like a piece of burnt red iron, and rushed into the Qing army like a bamboo shoot!
The heavily armored cavalry took turns to fight the heavy weapons in their hands and hit them one by one. Facing the opponent's swords and guns, they did not dodge or avoid them, and just treated them as if they were slightly brushing their faces! Stay wherever they passed
The next piece of corpses of men!
Dorgon was almost stunned by the scene in front of him! Because he was too far away, he couldn't see clearly that those people were heavy armored cavalry. But Dorgon immediately guessed the true face of his opponent when he saw the battle situation in front of him!
The moment he got the answer, Dorgon was frightened and his face turned blue! If it was really what he thought, and his opponents were all heavy armored cavalry, then the thousands of people he had just sent out were really not opponents!
Dorgon may not be afraid of thousands of casualties. What he is afraid of is that the route of the heavily armored cavalry is heading straight for him! And Dorgon is surrounded by guards and a small number of officers, less than two hundred! Of course, it is impossible to block the charge of the heavily armored cavalry with these people!
But Dorgon couldn't move at this time! Because his flag was standing beside him! You should know that in the battle at that time, the flag was the foundation of a army and could not be moved easily! Because it represented too much information! Often, it was common for a war to keep the flag moving.
Dorgon made a quick decision to catch an officer and said, "Go to the camp quickly and ask the camp to send people back, bring more ropes, and arrange tripping ropes and lassoes!"
The officer shouted in despair: "Prince, go quickly! It's too late! The group of cavalry is less than two miles away from us, and even if we return to the camp and get the ropes, we don't have time to arrange them!"
Dorgon pushed away the officer in despair and looked at the direction where the heavy armored cavalry attacked. At this time, the heavy armored cavalry had already killed the formation of the Qing cavalry! Although the number of people was smaller, the murderous aura became stronger and stronger!
The officer grabbed Dorgon's reins and said, "Prince, come up with an idea! No matter what, we can't stay where we are!"
Of course, Dorgon knew that he could not stay where he was. Even if his opponent was a heavy armored cavalry, it would be a matter of a moment! However, both battlefields were suppressed by the other party. If his flag moved, it would probably immediately give the army a signal of retreat. At that time, it might be the result of the collapse of the entire army!
