Chapter 749 Slave thief, take your life...

General Yang Guozhu, general of Xuanfu Township and general of Zhenshuo, was shot by a Tartar arrow on his horse. In pain, he galloped more than 70 steps to the northwest. Suddenly, he lost his front hoof and fell to the ground.

Although Yang Guozhu has been in battle for a long time, he has mounted and dismounted countless times, but he doesn't have much experience like this. However, he is a veteran after all, and he has experienced battles every time, and his reaction is also amazing.

I saw Yang Guozhu put the tiger spear forward on the ground, and the moment his body fell down on the horse, with the strength of the tiger spear on the ground, Yang Guozhu's strong body leaped forward.

He fell to the ground, and before he could stand still, he heard the continuous loud sound of "plop... plop... bang...", the huge body of the war horse rolled past him, and slammed into a bulge on top of the rocks.

Yang Guozhu had just stood still, when he heard the sound of a horse's hooves stamping on the ground "rumbling" from behind him.

"Master, get on your horse!"

A servant ran to his side first, immediately got off the horse, handed the reins of the war horse to Yang Guozhu's hand, and urged him to get on the horse quickly.

Yang Guozhu only turned his head to look at the servant, then got on his horse and shouted to him: "Tan family boy, follow closely, and the general will get you a thief horse!"

At this time, all the servants and relatives also rode their horses to follow. Yang Guozhu knew that the siege this time was extremely dangerous. If the slave chief Dorgon hadn't deliberately lured him to surrender in order to hit the morale of the Ming King's army, he might have surrounded and wiped out his troops in the early days. Just above Gao Gang.

He didn't dare to delay, and at the same time, he knew that Li Fuming, the commander in chief of Shanxi, had not come to help him until now, which meant that he could not go there because he was intercepted by the Tartar army.

Even if he could go, how could he leave the soldiers of the Zhenbiao Battalion and escape alone?

The current strategy, I'm afraid the only way is to rush towards the west Shimen, go to find Guo Yingxian, He Zhenxiong and other generals and soldiers to join them, and then try to form a defensive formation at the dangerous point, standing firm and waiting for reinforcements.

He rode his horse and rushed to the front. When a servant rushed past the Chen family boy, he shouted: "Tan Zhenlin, get on the horse!"

As the servant said, he grasped the rein with his right hand, leaned his body to the left, and handed out his left hand at the same time, Tan Zhenlin didn't know what he meant.

Tan Zhenlin grabbed the big hand that was outstretched, followed the forward pull of the horse, jumped onto the horse's back easily, and sat firmly behind the famous family member.

Even so, he still held the mace tightly with his right hand, and patted the famous family Ding's waist with his left hand, and said, "Old Brother Huang, thank you."

"Donkey Qiuzi, my brother, thank you Qiuqiu."

…………

The south of Jinzhou City is like a purgatory on earth, with flames everywhere and beacon smoke everywhere. The Ming and Qing Dynasties invested nearly 20 troops into a melee.

Living beings fell down here one by one, and when they didn't get up, there was a sound of roaring and killing, and from time to time there was a loud roar of guns and cannons.

At this moment, no one's heart is peaceful, including Hong Chengchou, Governor of Jiliao in Ming Dynasty, and Dorgon, Prince Heshuorui of Qing Dynasty, and Zu Dashou, who is guarding Jinzhou City, is probably the most nervous.

Although the outer city of Jinzhou has been destroyed, the inner city is strong, and Wu Sangui risked his life to transport grain, so there is plenty of grain, even if he sticks to it for another three months, or even half a year, there will be no problem.

The difficulty is nothing more than firewood, but there are a lot of houses in the inner city, at worst they will all be demolished, the living can never be suffocated by urine, they will always find a way to eat them if they look at the grain.

Just now he sent his younger brother Zu Dabi to lead nearly [-] troops into the battle, and it seemed to be going well. According to the battle report from the front, the Tatars were clearly understrength, and they actually broke through the first ditch with a single charge.

Zu Dashou was overjoyed. His original intention of sending troops to attack was just to make a test. If there was something to be done, he would attack with all his strength and cooperate with Hong Chengchou's reinforcements to try to break the siege of Jinzhou in one battle.

Now, seeing that he could do something, Dang even decided to personally lead [-] soldiers out of the city to help in the battle, trying to break through the three blocked trenches of the Tartars, and join the governor of Jiliao, Hong Chengchou, who came to help.

If they could join forces with the hundreds of thousands of troops who came to aid, and build a passage in the south of Jinzhou City to replenish supplies for the inner city of Jinzhou, then the Tartar bandit's plan to encircle Jinzhou would also come to naught.

Before leaving, Zu Dacheng came to see him off. He specially asked Zu Dacheng to strictly guard all the gates, and carefully arrange reliable family members and generals to be in charge, both outside and inside.

And Zu Dacheng told his elder brother Zu Dashou thousands of times, if something can't be done, don't force it, you can return it first, and think of a good plan to resolve it later, as the saying goes, keep the green hills and don't worry about no firewood!
There were more than [-] Liaodong elite soldiers in Jinzhou City, among them, there were thousands of servants from the ancestral family, and the rest were also local Liao people, all of whom had fought in hundreds of battles.

They fought against the Tartars and northern captives on the land of Liaodong for more than ten years. Although they were still unable to defeat the Tartars in field battles, they were one of the few soldiers in the Ming army who dared to fight the Tartars in the field.

Zu Dashou didn't say much. After bidding farewell to his younger brother Zu Dacheng, he led the army and rode straight to the south pass. With the addition of his new force, after a bloody battle, he finally broke through the second route of the Qing army's siege of Jinzhou. moat.

However, Zu Dashou's 1 troops broke through the two defense lines of the Tartars in a row, and lost more than [-] soldiers. Moreover, his deputy Xu Changyong was killed in battle, and Zu Dashou was injured and retreated from his nephew Zu Zeyuan. fierce.

The Ming army under Zu Dashou suffered heavy casualties, and the Qing army in the south of Jinzhou City was not at ease. After all, what they were facing was a desperate charge launched by the strongest army in the Ming Dynasty.

The main force of the Qing army was transferred to the front lines of Rufeng Mountain, Shimen Mountain, and Huangtuling to defend against the hundreds of thousands of troops of Hong Chengchou, the governor of Jiliao who came to help, and the strength of the encircling brocade was insufficient.

In the south of Jinzhou City, nearly 2000 people were killed or injured, but Zu Dashou still broke through two lines of defense in a row. Seeing that the third line of defense around Jinzhou was also extremely critical.

Zu Dashou's face was covered with blood, and he roared angrily to boost his morale, because he had already seen the dawn of victory, which was the hope of life!

He had already abandoned his horse and fought for a long time. He was standing on a trench wall, looking at the killing field in front of him, his eyes were burning like fire, as if he wanted to completely burn down the last trench defense line of the Qing army.

Zu Dashou's armor was also covered with more than a dozen arrows, and his body was covered with traces of blood mixed with mud. It was unknown whether it was his own blood or the blood of the Tartars.

"Kill! Kill, Jinzhou is saved..."

He was yelling excitedly, just about to rush forward to kill the thieves bravely with the soldiers.

Suddenly, Zu Dashou's body froze in place instantly, and that movement was also extremely strange, and in the direction he was looking at, a group of thieves were rushing towards the southwest behind the third ditch encircling the brocade.

Looking at the reinforcements from the Tartars in the distance, there seemed to be thousands of troops, but Zu Dashou wanted to use the rushing tactics to quickly break through the third road, taking advantage of the advantage just now, coupled with the enthusiastic morale of breaking through the trenches again and again. moat.

Therefore, in front of the last trench, the damage was serious. Although more than 2000 troops from the Eight Banners of Manchuria and the Eight Banners of the Han Army were beheaded and wounded in the bloody battle, they also lost more than a thousand veterans.

Seeing that the hope of breaking through this last line of defense was about to be shattered, how could Zu Dashou be reconciled, he rushed down the trench wall and shouted loudly: "Kill, rush into the trench, kill the thief!"

Now, we can only hope that before the reinforcements of the Tartars arrive at the trench, the Tartars and the Han army will be killed and retreated. It will be much easier to seize the trench first, and then hold on to it.

…………

Guo Yingxian, the general of Xuan Town of the Ming Dynasty, was so killed that his eyes were red, as if he was about to spurt blood, he rode his horse and charged forward, shouting: "Kill...Kill the Tartars..."

His roar exploded in an instant, and thousands of soldiers roared in unison. There was only one word, a word that could really kill: "Kill!"

A wave of arrows flew towards him, but Guo Yingxian didn't dodge. Instead, he clamped his legs into the horse's belly, urging the horse under his crotch to charge vigorously. A heavy tiger spear with black and red spots on the head was far away. thrust forward.

"what!"

He Luohui opened his mouth wide, with a rare look of astonishment in his eyes.

But he didn't have time to think about it, the boxy and strong general opposite him was rushing towards him without hesitation, his body was full of arrows, but they couldn't stop him at all. Scar's big face was getting closer and closer, becoming more and more terrifying and hideous.

Although He Luohui was already fearful, he also knew that if he retreated at this time, the army would be defeated, and he would inevitably die if he went back, and he would also blame his family. The blood-red tip of the tiger gun charged forward.

If you die and accept your fate, if you don't die, it will be another great achievement!
He Luo would straighten his long sword forward, clamp the horse's belly with his legs, and urge the horse to gallop, while screaming in Tartar dialect: "Kill, kill the dog..."

Five hundred Mongolian Zhenghuang Banner heavy armored cavalry also roared in unison. Most of them roared in Mongolian, and only a few of them roared in Tarzi.

"Ding... poof..."

An arrow shot straight at Guo Yingxian's left shoulder, pierced the nail leaf, and went straight into the flesh. The blood instantly stained the armor on his left shoulder.

Guo Yingxian's expression tightened. He resisted the pain and tried his best to control the rein with his left hand to adjust the charging angle of the horse under his crotch. He held the tiger spear out with his right hand, and tucked the end of the gun under his armpit to make the protruding spear head more stable.

With a distance of more than a hundred steps, it was slow to talk and quick to do things. In just a moment, the cavalry of the two sides collided with each other. Seven or eight cavalry from each side directly hit and fell off their horses in the confrontation, and were trampled to pieces by the later war horses. !
"Slave thief, take your life..."

Guo Yingxian's howl sounded like thunder, and He Luohui was stunned for a moment, and the two horses crossed each other, but He Luohui's body moved in the opposite direction.

And his beloved war horse had already abandoned him, and galloped forward alone, without even looking back, showing no respect for his old master.

He Luohui was already unable to care about his war horse, his mind went blank, and his eyes didn't have a trace of expression. He just felt as if his body was floating gently in the air.

Not far in front of his eyes, there was a big face full of scars, staring at him ferociously, those big eyes were full of anger, it was the first time he felt that the southerners were so scary.

He Luo would wake up suddenly, with his head up and down, and his hands stretched forward, as if trying to scratch the big face that made him feel terrible, but he couldn't touch it with all his strength.

He opened his mouth wide and wanted to shout something, but he could only let out a "ho ho ho" roar, and mouthfuls of bright red blood kept gushing out of his mouth as he roared.

He Luohui's eyes dimmed, and his expression began to become ferocious. He finally stopped roaring "Ho Ho", and his hands hang down weakly, like a huge scarecrow being lifted obliquely on the spear by Guo Yingxian.

He, the Gushan Ezhenhe Luohui of the Zhenghuang Banner of the Eight Banners of Mongolia in the Qing Dynasty, has become the trophy of Guo Yingxian, the general of the Xuanzhen Town of the Ming Dynasty at this moment, the symbol of the victor's oath of victory, and the battle flag on others' spears.

As an aggressor, he bid farewell to the battlefield and his own life in such a way, perhaps it was a well-deserved death.

The Mongols were originally the best at riding and shooting, even far better than Jiannu's captive cavalry, but when it came to riding and fighting, or dismounting and fighting, the Mongols were far inferior to Jiannu.

Today they met Guo Yingxian's Daming Jingqi, and they could have fought evenly, but He Luohui made the mistake of dividing the troops first, and Guo Yingxian used the superior force to attack in three groups.

Next, there was another night of rain in the room, and He Luohui, the chief general, was killed by the Ming general Guo Yingxian in the first battle.

Under the three-way charge and strangulation of more than a thousand Ming army Jingqi, the five hundred Mongolian heavy cavalry suffered heavy losses, collapsed on the spot, and fled in all directions.

Guo Yingxian knew that although he had defeated the [-] Mongolian heavy cavalry, there were still more than [-] Mongolian cavalry around him. He didn't dare to stay for long, so he threw the tiger spear aside and shouted: "The head is cut off, take it with you!" .”

The knight next to him took He Luohui's body, chopped off his head with a swing of the axe, and stuffed it into the saddlebag.

"Boys, don't love to fight, head to the northwest, let's go!"

Guo Yingxian let out a loud roar, then rode his horse and continued to rush towards the northwest, while the Mongolian Qingqi chased after them from a distance, but it was obvious that they were not as active and brave as before.

The armor between Guo Yingxian's ribs was shattered, a piece of dark red, and the flesh and blood could be seen faintly, and blood dripped down as the horse galloped.

It turned out that He Luohui's pick knife was stabbing in his left rib when he was facing off just now, but fortunately his tiger spear stabbed He Luohui's chest, otherwise it would be hard to say who would win the battle!
…………

Zhang Guangda led [-] heavily armored knights from the Xuanbei Army to meet the nearly thousand Zhengbai Banner Tartars at Gushan Ezhenzhun Pagoda, and walked quickly.

The soldiers of the heavy cavalry department all have three riders per person. One of the pack horses is only used to pull the armor and weapons of the soldiers; the second is a riding horse, which is used for riding; Only when they put on their costumes, the knights rode and charged.

Zhang Guangda took the lead, and there were only sixty heavily armored knights in the first row, and there were five rows in total. Although they walked fast, the rows of well-equipped war horses, together with the fully armored knights, gave people a very impressive feeling. pressure.

Behind them are the child soldiers led by Zhang Cheng, and there are soldiers from the cavalry battalion and the Mongolian cavalry department, while the left and right wings of the heavy cavalry are guarded by knights from the light cavalry department and the Tiger Guard Battalion.

After all, although heavy cavalry is fierce, it is not durable. The horse gear and armor of the soldiers are too heavy, and the horse will not be able to bear it after a long time.

But when charging, it is indeed unstoppable!
