When the two cavalrymen under the command of the British army rushed out of the battle formation, Li Qing's originally excited face immediately darkened.
Fast, simply too fast! It was like a bolt of lightning, leaping a hundred meters away in the blink of an eye.
"Prince Gong, it seems that this battle is still not optimistic!”Monk Gilinqin sighed.
Li Qing put down the clairvoyance in his eyes and said,""Unless there is a miracle!"
Then, Li Qing said to Wen Xiang and Bao Yun,""Bochuan, the situation isn't good. Quickly return to the capital and assist the Nine Gates Admiral in the aftermath preparations as the infantry commander.”
"Peiheng, you will lead a team of horses to Yuanmingyuan and put all the gold, jade, jewelry, antiques, and vases into boxes and sink them into the lake. As for the ink painting, you will hand it to wangfei. She will naturally know how to deal with it.”
Wen Xiang and Bao Yun's eyes reddened as they said,""What about you, Your Highness?"
Li Qing shook his head and said," We haven't lost this battle. Even if we lose, I'm still a prince. Why would I be afraid of them killing me?"”
......
On a vast piece of land around the Eight Mile Bridge, two opposing cavalrymen were engaged in a battle of pursuit. The Qing army had many people, but the Mongolian horses they rode were short and did not have high explosive power. Although the Sikh cavalry and the Dragon Cavalry were only two thousand men, they were in a tight formation. One look and one could tell that they were well-trained elites. Moreover, the Arabian horses they rode were tall and strong, and they had an extremely strong sprint.
The distance between the two sides was constantly shrinking. From the initial 500 meters, it had now shrunk to 300 meters.
"Commander! We can't go on like this. At this rate, we'll be caught up before we reach Zhangjiawan.”
Barra said as he whipped the horse harder,"I was wondering why Qimu Ge was so talkative. Don't tell me this lord doesn't know? Unless you can make our horses fly or make the enemy cavalry stop. Otherwise, the fact that the enemy was faster than me would not change.”
Qimu Ge smiled after hearing this. "Commander, I actually have a suggestion. Can we stop the enemy?”
After Ba La heard this, he turned to look at Qi Muge. For some reason, he saw his smile. Ba La could not help but think of the dead Ba Tu. A terrifying thought flashed through Ba La's mind as he said with a trembling voice,""Qimu Ge! Do you want to..."
"Yes, sir! There didn't seem to be a better way!”
"You're crazy. Do you know that you'll die if you do this?”
"Sir, I've earned enough with my life. Besides, in the battle with Li Xianzhuang, more than half of our team has been killed.”
"But?"
"Sir, there are no buts. Do you want all the women in the middle front flag of the chechen khanate to become widows and have children who haven't grown up without a father?”
Qimu Ge saw that Ba La was silent and was about to turn around when Ba La shouted,"I, Second Assistant, will follow me to kill. The rest will listen to Qimu Gezuo's command!”
When Ba La turned his horse around, he smiled and said,"Qimu Ge, you're right, but if you want to live, you should live. I was the one who brought Ba Tu and the others out of the plains, so naturally, I should be the one to bring them back!”After saying that, he charged towards the rapidly moving enemy troops.
......
"Your Highness! The situation has changed." Just as Li Qing was planning how to minimize the losses this time, another commander beside Li Qing suddenly pointed to an empty space five miles away from the Eight Mile Bridge and said," One of our horses is charging towards the enemy!”
Li Qing quickly took out his Clairvoyant and looked in the direction that was pointed out. He saw 500 Mongolian cavaliers waving their sabers fearlessly as they charged at the 2,000 English cavaliers.
The outcome of such a confrontation was already determined. In the first round of confrontation, the formation of the Qing cavalry was completely scattered. The Sikh cavalry wore plate armor and moved like a few moving walls, crushing them.
However, the second officer led by Barra, after sacrificing more than a hundred men, successfully slowed down the speed of the British cavalry. The rest of the cavalrymen, under the leadership of Barra, galloped to the right and circled around the English army. However, Barra did not continue to charge this time. Instead, he took out his bow and arrows and aimed at the eyes of the Sikh cavalrymen!
These warriors of the grasslands seemed to have found the feeling of their ancestors beating up the Teuton Knights in Europe. They bent their backs or flipped, accurately shooting arrows into the eyes of the knights of the Ke Cavalry. Screams began to echo among the British cavalrymen.
? At that moment, the Dragon Guards moved out. They were a group of light cavalry that came and went like the wind. They quickly surrounded the few Mongolian cavaliers.
Seeing the Sikh Cavalry Regiment leave, Barra was very anxious. This would not do. He had only managed to delay the two armies for another kilometer, but based on the situation just now, he had to delay them for another kilometer.
Hence, Ba Tu picked up his official robe and wiped the blood off his saber. He raised his saber and swung it forward, roaring towards the sky,""Second Lieutenant, charge with me!"
The 300 Mongolian cavaliers brandished their battle sabers with their right hands and controlled the reins with their left hands. They bent over and charged forward. The Dragon Cavaliers also launched their attacks and charged forward to meet the attack.
The two armies clashed. The horses that had fallen to the ground wailed and howled, and the weapons that had been struck made a loud bang. There were only a few Qing soldiers who managed to break out of the encirclement. Ba La led the remaining ten or so riders and quickly chased after the Sikh Cavalry. The Sikh Cavalry were burdened and had just started, so they were quickly caught up by Ba La and the rest. As for the Dragon Cavalry guards behind them, they did not want to fall behind. They did not hesitate to chase after Ba La's remaining riders, vowing to completely destroy this Qing army.
" 1700 meters!!!"
"1800 meters!!!"
"200 meters more!"
At this moment, a cavalryman covered in blood gasped. "Commander, our brothers can't hold on much longer, my lord! What should we do!"
Barra looked at the Dragon Knights who were about to catch up and smiled, revealing his white teeth."Are you afraid?"
"Commander, as long as we follow you, we are not afraid!”The remaining dozens of people also laughed and said.
"Alright, brothers, charge with me!”Ba La once again brandished his saber and charged into the Sikh Cavalry. The remaining Mongolian cavaliers did not have any strange expressions on their faces. They continued to follow closely behind their commander. These fresh lives were trying to use what they thought was the most effective method-to fight for the last 200 meters for Qimu Ge with their bodies of flesh and blood!
Unknowingly, Li Qing's eyes were filled with tears. Monk Gleen Qin put down his clairvoyant and smiled.""Prince Gong, it seems like the heavens have blessed our country. The second phase of the plan seems to have succeeded!”
"That's right! Congratulations."
"Prince Gong, the two armies have already gone far away. Why haven't you put down your clairvoyance?”
"Is that so? How can this king still see it?"
The generals around him looked at Li Qing in confusion. Only when the tears in Li Qing's eyes dried did they put down their clairvoyance and say,"Looks like I'm getting old and it's easy to make a mistake.”
"The Gong Prince is at the age of 30, and his future is bright. How can you call him old?"”
Li Qing looked at the people around him with smiles on their faces, but he couldn't smile no matter what. For some reason, an image kept flashing in his mind. There was a tall warhorse standing in the middle. The general on the horse raised a huge yellow flag with both hands and charged at the enemy with a smile.
Perhaps this was the backbone of the country!
