Chapter 181 What a joy
Zhang Cheng drew his bow and set an arrow on the wall of the village, and with a sound of "咻!", a strong arrow shot out, and immediately a Qing soldier carrying a long ladder fell to the ground, but immediately another Qing soldier took his place, The long ladder rushed towards it non-stop and set it on the wall of the village.

"Bang bang bang..."

A cloud of smoke rose from the wall of the village, firecrackers exploded again and again, dozens of large and small cannons roared continuously, and the gunpowder smoke filled the air. Zhang Cheng saw about fifty paces away, a Qing army Niu Luzhang Jing commanded a team of red-bordered troops with unstoppable shouts. The elite Qing soldiers in armor rushed forward.

He raised his foot and kicked on the chest of a Qing soldier who had just climbed the long ladder to the wall of the village. The Qing soldier let out a long howl and flew down the wall of the village. Zhang Cheng dodged to the side, and a powerful arrow hit the Kaiyuan bow. .

With his feet shoulder-width apart, his right foot behind and his left foot in front, he stood firmly on the wall with his toes turned inward. He held the Kaiyuan bow in his left hand, and pinched the arrow feathers with his thumb and index finger in his right hand. stuck on the bowstring.

Zhang Cheng looked directly at Niu Luzhangjing of the Qing army with his head sideways, raised his arms, and stretched his bowstring. His eyes, arrow, and Niu Luzhangjing formed a straight line.

The Qing army's red flag, Baya La Niu Luzhang Jing Tanbai held his throat in disbelief, and knelt down on the ground with a "plop".

He was wearing excellent mercury armor and a collar around his neck, but he couldn't block the sharp arrow shot by Zhang Cheng. His eyes were full of incredulity, full of unwillingness.

Tan Bai knelt on the frozen hard ground, let the cold wind blow, snowflakes fell on his body and face, he was unconscious.

In the future, the Minister of the Ministry of War and the Minister of the Ministry of Officials of the Qing Dynasty repeatedly defeated the Ming army Zhao Guangzhang, Fan Zhiwan, Wu Sangui, and Bai Guangen's army, and annihilated Tan Bai of Zhang Xianzhong's department, and died silently like this.

When he was about to die, he looked at the extremely handsome general of the Ming Dynasty on the wall in front of him with eyes that had lost any energy, and he continued to shoot sharp arrows. La Bing was shot to the ground by him. 1
"Unexpectedly, I died like this..."

This was Tan Bai's last thought before he died.

…………

Lu Xiangsheng and Hu Dawei led the army and horses under their command to charge for a while, and the Qing soldiers retreated a little. Hu Dawei ordered Hu Zichen to lead a cavalry to bring out the horses, mules and horses, and go out to the south gate to join Jiazhuang.

Taking advantage of the Qing army's retreat, Lu Xiangsheng was in the front, and Hu Dawei led the Shanxi army behind and rushed out of the south gate of the camp. Over there, he saw Yang Guozhu's relative Guo Yingxian leading hundreds of knights in formation.

From the west, another cavalry of the Qing army came in formation. Hu Dawei hurriedly rode forward and asked, "General Guo, where is the gate of Yang Jun?"

Guo Yingxian shouted in a rough voice: "The Tartars have already attacked, and the camp can no longer be defended. I will block the Mongol Tartars here. You retreat first."

Lu Xiangsheng rushed forward at this time, and Yang Guozhu also rode out from the north gate of the camp. When he saw Lu Xiangsheng, he shouted: "Minister, there are too many Tartars, and we have suffered too many casualties. Without reinforcements, I'm afraid we won't be able to defend." gone."

Lu Xiangsheng looked at Yang Guozhu, who was covered in blood, and said in a deep voice, "It's getting dark, let's kill the Tartars here first, and everyone retreat into Jiazhuang."

There are about 2000 people on their side, almost all of them are cavalry. Some of Yang Guozhu and Hu Dawei's subordinates are blocking the Qing army in the camp. Scar, I will fight the Tartars today!"

It was to put them to death and then to live. At this moment, everyone had the heart of death, but they were not afraid. They roared and urged their horses to rush towards the Mongolian cavalry coming from the west.

…………

The Jiazhuang camp was also extremely critical. When Lu Xiangsheng led the army to rescue Hu Dawei, Jiang Mingwu's defense line in Shanxi Town to the north was also on the verge of collapse, and he had been struggling to support him.

He fought back the Qing army several times, and his subordinates also suffered heavy casualties. When he sent someone to Lu Xiangsheng for help, he just caught up with the Qing army pouring in from the gap opened by the artillery.

Chen An led his troops to block the gap and just killed the Qing soldiers. On the other side, the Qing army climbed up the wall of the village. The chief shepherd Yang Lukai led a group of soldiers to fight hard, trying to force the Qing soldiers back.

He hurriedly ordered another team of Qianzhang Zhang Guodong to ride up the wall of the village to help the battle, but after the number of troops here decreased, the Qing soldiers rushed up again. This time it was different from the past. Come.

On the other hand, the Qing troops who climbed the wall were all heavy armored warriors. Yang Lukai was forced to retreat again and again, and the number of Qing soldiers was increasing. It was impossible to force the Qing soldiers back down the Zhuang wall.

At this moment, Jiang Mingwu's personal soldiers came to ask for help. Chen An knew that the situation was over, and Jiazhuang could no longer hold on. He was worried about Lu Xiangsheng's safety, but he dared not retreat.

…………

Outside the west gate, Lu Xiangsheng rode his horse and charged up, the fine iron saber in his hand danced wildly, killing countless people.

Hu Dawei, armed with a tiger gun, also rushed beside Lu Xiangsheng. The Mongolian cavalry retreated one after another. .Go back to Jiazhuang!"

Everyone rode their horses and galloped, entered Jiazhuang from the west gate, and met Jiang Mingwu, a general manager, who saw Lu Xiangsheng, Hu Dawei and others immediately reported: "The governor, the commander of the tiger, the Tartars climbed the wall and entered Jiazhuang. , the north gate can no longer be guarded."

Without saying a word, Hu Dawei yelled, "Go, kill the Tartars back."

He led Hu Zichen to the north gate and rode his horse.

Here, Yang Guozhu rode his horse to Lu Xiangsheng's war horse, and said with concern: "Minister, take good care of your body and try to keep it useful!"

Lu Xiang raised his voice and said: "The general beheaded, the warrior dies, this is the moment!"

After he finished speaking, he led hundreds of elite cavalry under his command and rolled towards the east gate.

Yang Guozhu had no choice but to turn south to help Zhang Yanbu defend the south gate.

…………

After Zhang Cheng shot Niu Luzhang Jing Tanbai with one arrow, he opened his bow left and right. Many Bayala warriors of the Qing army were killed and wounded by him, and they fell one by one. on the back.

It happened that a Qing soldier climbed up the wall of the village, and was swinging a big axe to chop down the soldiers under Zhang Cheng's command. With a cat's waist, he picked up a shield, rushed up and hit the Qing soldier's waist.

The Qing soldier staggered and staggered to the side, Zhang Cheng rushed forward again, picked up the three-eyed blunderbuss on the ground, and before he could shoot, he swung it like a hammer and smashed it on the head of another Qing soldier who had just climbed up the wall.

The Qing soldier tilted his body, and fell down screaming. Zhang Cheng put the shield in his left hand flat, and the three-eyed gun rested on the shield. The one who was bombarded flew backwards.

At this moment, a Qing soldier rushed over, raised his hand, and a Tie Guduo flew towards him. Zhang Cheng also threw out the three-eyed blunderbuss and knocked Tie Guduo into the air.

He held the shield in his left hand to block a long knife from a Qing soldier, and then pierced his body with the knife stick in his right hand. Just as he pulled it out, he smashed it hard again, smashing the head of a Qing soldier and saving a guard.

"Happy, really happy!"
