Chapter 163 Critical moment
These cavalry should not be allowed to contact Liu Liangzuo's army.
This is what appears in Shang Kexi's head.
The situation just now is still clear. Our army has not achieved such an effect, but Liu Liangzuo's army has done it, so these five hundred people are extremely important.
"Order the cavalry to attack, and must stop the Ming cavalry, protect Liu Liangzuo's army, and use his life to protect them."
Only when muskets and muskets can they cause major casualties to the other party.
If you use cold weapons, no matter how elite you are, even if you reach the top spot in this world, you will not be able to cause much damage to the other party. If this continues, you will only fail.
It was because Shang Kexi understood this that his elite troops rushed forward.
He has never used these two thousand cavalrymen, just like his last reserve army.
But at this moment, these people must be allowed to stop Pingshanyong's cavalry, so as to ensure that Liu Liangzuo's army has a chance to shoot.
Although Hirayama's men were brave, they were entangled by these people when they met Shang Kexi's elite cavalry.
Although Liu Liangzuo's number of soldiers was not large, they were a new force after all. Zhu Cixuan had been fighting for a long time, so Zhu Cixuan had suffered a lot of casualties.
"Your Highness, you can't go out."
Several eunuchs quickly surrounded him, and Zhu Cixuan was ready to wear his clothes on his own.
"Get out of here, have you not seen the situation on the battlefield?"
This is not the time for mother-in-law and mother. Zhu Cilang has to go to the battlefield in person and can no longer stand on the platform to continue commanding.
The appearance of Liu Liangzuo's five hundred musketeers completely reversed the current situation.
"Protect Your Highness the Crown Prince. Even if you die, you must protect Your Highness the Crown Prince. If Your Highness loses a hair, I will not spare you little kids even when I go to the underworld. The rest of the people are rushing for me, so don't let others look down on the people from our West Factory."
Sandezi has always been responsible for intelligence matters, and there is nothing important to do on the battlefield. At this last moment, this guy stood up directly.
"Your Highness, I'm so disrespectful..."
Sandezi turned over and stepped on His Highness's war horse, and rushed out with the guards of the West Factory.
If it were normal times, this would be a sin of disrespect.
But at this moment, if you can take people out, this is a life-and-death life. How could Zhu Cixuan care about this?
The eunuchs of the Ming Dynasty left a bad impression on many people, but in Zhu Cixuan's opinion, many of these eunuchs were capable.
For example, Sandezi in front of him usually does not interfere with other things except for inquiring about the news, but at the last moment, he can also work hard for the court.
"I'll come back alive."
Zhu Cixuan shouted out with all his strength, but Sandezi, who had already left the camp, could not hear it.
The remaining imperial guards surrounded Zhu Cilang. After Sandezi took the five hundred people away, the circular fortifications seemed even thinner.
Although Sandezi took away the guards of the Xichang Factory, their combat effectiveness was no less than that of the elite troops under Li Guodong. They were also considered the last troops that Zhu Cixuan could allocate.
These people went to the battlefield with a sense of dying, so they did not care about their own safety at all.
Even if the comrades in front had already fallen, they continued to rush forward without any hesitation.
At the beginning, Shang Kexi's army could still withstand it, but as the army charged more and more fiercely, Shang Kexi's personal guards could not stop it.
This army's lifeless fighting style does not leave anyone else's way to survive.
Just now, Shang Kexi took out his last cavalry to protect the safety of Liu Liangzuo's army, but in just one cup of tea, the army was overturned by the guards of Sandezi's Xichang Factory.
In normal times, we can't see the combat effectiveness of these Western Factory guards. We can only see the truth on the battlefield. We have not lost the face of Western Factory.
"Mom, now is the last moment. Either you die or I die. You all get on my horse, let's fight with them."
Shang Kexi threw his horse whip next to him, pulled out his waist knife and carried it, and the remaining hundreds of guards also entered the battle group.
Shang Kexi himself did not retreat at all. After staying on the battlefield for a long time, he naturally knew that now was a critical moment. If they could save Liu Liangzuo's 500 musketeers, they would be able to win.
If you can't keep it, then wait for everyone to die here.
The battlefield has entered a white-hot stage, and all the armies of both sides have already been put into battle.
Liu Liangzuo's 500 musketeers were still firing, but they could no longer shoot volleys. The desperate fighting style of San Dezi's men brought more than 200 casualties to Liu Liangzuo.
Most people's gun barrels have been red, and blood has dyed the earth red. War is so cruel.
At this moment, no one has any way out, and they can only win the war.
Many soldiers only know how to load bullets by mechanically, and then pick up muskets and shoot in front.
They were like a war machine at this moment, and they had no idea what was happening around them.
As for the Qing soldiers, their casualties were even worse. The comrades who were still joking with them yesterday have become a dead person today.
At the beginning, there were still people who were sad, but now no one is in this mood, because if they are a little distracted, they may become one of the corpses.
Destroying Liu Liangzuo's men means that the balance of victory completely falls to the Ming Dynasty.
The result of the Qufu Battle came out. Once that moment comes, the vast land from Qufu to the south will definitely get rid of the Qing Dynasty.
The Qing Dynasty invested more than 200,000 troops in this area, but ultimately did not stop the Southern Ming's pace, which represented the beginning of the collapse of the Qing Dynasty's ruling system.
But if the army under Zhu Cixuan failed and the circular square formation around Zhu Cixuan was broken, it would mean that the Northern Expedition strategy of the Southern Ming court failed.
The unstable factors within the imperial court emerged. At that time, if you want to organize the second Northern Expedition, you may not know that it was the Year of the Monkey and Horse Month.
The cohesion of the court will also decline, so for the Qing court and the Ming court, their lives are already hanging by a thread at this moment, and it depends on who can survive.
