The wind rises at the end of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 276: Lice penetrate Yang!

"These Nikans are all lunatics! They are all lunatics!"

Tan Tai stood on a high slope, his armor stained with blood, and the hand holding the knife trembled slightly. This was the first time he felt frightened on the battlefield.

Although the road from the third camp to the fourth camp is gentle, there is not much difference in height.

But on the mountain road, there is only room for seven or eight people to stand shoulder to shoulder, close to each other, and then there is a slope where no one can stand.

If you don't stand firm, make a mistake, and step on the wrong foot, you will directly follow the slope and fall to the bottom.

Not far in front of him, the Ming troops on the mountain road refused to retreat, killing each other densely. When one fell, another one immediately followed, as if they didn't care about life or death at all.

Even though the guard camps and soldiers on the front line tried their best, there was no way to advance the front even one step.

Tan Tai's eyes were about to burst, and he was shocked and angry.

Those who fell in the bloody battle on the mountain road were all the guards and soldiers of the two yellow flags!
The battle lasted only a quarter of an hour, and hundreds of corpses were already dropped in front of them.

This is the biggest loss suffered by the two yellow flags since entering the customs.

Even though Lianghuangqi had a rich family, the death of hundreds of guardsmen and more casualties of armored soldiers were still enough to make Lianghuangqi broken.

Tan Tai felt desperate, his mind was in chaos, and his mind was already in a mess.

In the Battle of Jinan, Dorgon led the Two White Banners to intercept the Ming Dynasty's reinforcements. It was he who commanded the army to attack Jinan.

He was not alert to the sudden arrival of Ming army reinforcements from the east.

As a result, the Ming army broke through the siege and entered Jinan City, thus breaking the siege.

The person who caused the Battle of Jinan to fall short was him...

Although Dorgon is the coach, the main responsibility still lies with him.

Originally, this was just the result. When he returned to the customs, he would not be punished lightly.

But now, he is not only responsible for the defeat of Jinan, but also the main responsibility for the defeat of Qingshan Pass this time will also fall on his head.

In addition to the hundreds of guards who died on the mountain road, as well as hundreds of armored soldiers.

Tan Tai felt cold in his heart. Now that things have happened, he must be blamed for his death.

Time is passing by minute by second, and the scales are constantly tilting in the direction of the Ming army.

Not far away, on the southern mountain road leading to the top of Gongshutai, the civilians of the Ming army were dragging artillery and walking firmly towards the top of Gongshutai step by step.

Once the Ming army's artillery is set up at Gongshutai, all this will be over.

He was ordered to guard Nanshan and coordinate the command, but he lost three fortresses in just half an hour.

The Ming army has now captured Gongshutai, and even has to lose most of the entire Nanshan position.

He had no way to explain the responsibility for the previous defeat in Jinan, plus the responsibility for the loss of Nanshan and the loss of troops and generals.

If we just retreat outside the customs and return to Shenyang.

Even being dismissed from office is the lightest punishment.

Tan Tai's heart went over and over again, and the hand holding Shun Dao tightened and loosened, and then tightened again.

"Master, Prince Rui wants you to return to the central army, gradually abandon the Nanshan camps, and retreat to the central camp!"

A gray-faced Tangma came flying from the mountain road on the other side, kneeling on the ground and reporting eagerly to Tan Tai.

"The big camp for surrendering insurance, the big camp for surrendering insurance..."

Tan Tai's eyes were blank and he murmured.

Could the Nanshan position really be lost in his hands?
If the Nanshan position is lost, the Ming army can use Nanshan as a force to threaten the central camp.

Their transportation lines will also be completely within the Ming army's sight.

It will still take three or four days before all the goods are shipped out of the customs. If the Ming army continues to harass them during these three or four days, at least [-] to [-]% of the goods and population of this harvest will be lost.

Such losses were all due to his mistakes...

"I was responsible for the defeat in Jinan before. Now if we are defeated again in Qingshan, how will I, Tan Tai, look like when I see the emperor again!"

Tan Tai held the knife in his hand, gritted his teeth, and roared angrily.

"Kill all these Nikans and seize the public tree platform!!"

Tan Tai became cruel, swung his sword, snatched a cowhide shield from a guard beside him, and strode forward.

Tan Tai exited in person, and the personal guards who were originally guarding him also drew their swords from their sheaths and followed closely with their shields raised.

As personal guards, their duty is to protect the safety of the general.

Tan Tai charged forward, leading a group of guards along the mountain road.

As Tan Tai walked by, the Qing soldiers on the mountain road quickly separated towards the two sides as if the waves were breaking.

"Get out of the way!"

Tan Tai was determined to die and completely ignored life and death.

He had no choice at all. If he retreated, he would die. If he could break through the Ming army's defense, he would still have a glimmer of hope!
He wants to win Gong Shutai, save the defeat, regain his strength, and turn the tide of the war!

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

The low and desolate sound of the horn lingers in the Daqing Mountains.

In the middle of the mountain road, Qing soldiers holding tiger spears and Ming soldiers holding big guns were still fighting fiercely.

The densely packed sharp weapons kept moving, and the cold light was breathtaking.

Tan Tai moved forward and was almost at the front row.

There were only two rows of armored soldiers in front of him. Leng Yang hung high in the sky and reflected on the bright armor. It was reflected in Tan Tai's eyes, leaving bright traces in his eyes.

The shrill wails of the dying, the sound of knives and guns cutting into flesh, and the collisions caused by the clash of swords and swords all penetrated his ears like magic sounds.

Tan Tai held the sword in his hand tightly, and in the gaps between the armor, rows of sharp spear tips shone with a cold light.

The swords and spears are like a forest, and they are constantly hesitating like a poisonous snake.

Every time he vomited, there was the shadow of death, and the blood on the ground had accumulated into a pool, which was a hellish scene.

The heart-stopping murderous intention flowed in Tan Tai's eyes, and the hot anger surged in Tan Tai's heart.

Tan Tai is completely desperate now!
"kill!"

Tan Taihu roared, his shoulders slumped and his waist tightened. He held up his shield and thrust forward.

The Qing soldiers in the front row did not expect the impact to come from behind.

The Qing soldier in front of Tan Tai lost his balance and staggered forward, hitting the gun forest directly.

The spear point made of fine steel used the inertia of the impact to pierce the cloth-covered iron armor and cotton armor worn by the Qing army armor soldier one after another, and broke into the armor soldier's chest and abdomen.

The armored soldier of the Qing Army stared blankly at the stunned Hanzhong Army soldiers in front of him, his eyes full of unwillingness.

Tan Tai ignored it, roared with his shield and continued to move forward.

Under the huge force, the body of the dead Qing army soldier was knocked to the ground, and at the same time, several long spears inserted into his body were knocked down.

The Hanzhong Army's original strict formation also became messy in an instant.

Tan Tai protected his upper body with a shield, and used the cover of the corpse to bend forward and rush forward. Only two spears were left in front of him.

The crazy secretion of adrenaline made Tan Tai's mind unprecedentedly clear.

Tan Tai bowed and rushed forward. He raised his left hand and used the upper edge of the shield to push up the gun shaft on the upper left. He held the sword in his right hand and slashed at the other spear on the lower right, just like this. Then he crashed into the Hanzhong Army's military formation.

Like a tank, it forced a gap in the Hanzhong Army's line.

"kill!!!"

At the same time that Tan Tai launched his charge, the personal guards who were following him also rushed forward with hysterical shouts.

Like Tan Tai, they all held shields in one hand to protect their bodies, and held short-handled battle axes and iron bones in the other hand, and suddenly rushed forward!

They also held up their shields, facing the Qing army soldiers who were fighting fiercely with the Hanzhong Army in front, and rushed straight into the Hanzhong Army's formation.

Tan Tai, as Gushan Ezhen, is the highest commander in a banner except for the banner leader.

The personal guards under his command are naturally selected from a hundred elites.If the Bagala guarding the military camp is synonymous with the elite in the army, then the real personal guards at Gushan'e of each banner are synonymous with the elite Bagala.

The personal guards under Tan Tai are all elites in hundreds of battles. Their killing techniques have long been engraved in their minds and flesh. They know how to use the fastest and most effective method to kill the enemy in front of them and break the enemy's army. Array!
The armored soldiers in the front row were treated as human shields and tools to break the formation.

This method of warfare was naturally extremely effective. On the mountain road, many soldiers in the front rows of the Hanzhong Army were knocked to the ground by them. Several soldiers were unable to stand and were carried away. They rolled and fell towards the bottom of the valley. And go.

A dozen personal guards followed Tan Tai into the formation and disrupted the Hanzhong Army's formation on the mountain road.

The narrow range made the spear almost useless. Tan Tai waved the sword in his hand and kept slashing, while raising the shield kept disrupting the Hanzhong Army's formation.

Behind him, more than ten personal guards followed Tan Tai and rushed all the way. They waved short-handled battle axes and iron bone flowers in their hands and skillfully began to kill the surrounding Hanzhong troops.

They knew that the armored soldiers of the Hanzhong Army were wearing heavy armor, so most of their attacks were aimed at the throat and face.

Except for Tan Tai, no one used swords. They all used short-handled battle axes and iron bones. If they couldn't hit the exposed parts, they would hit the chest or arms.

On the mountain road, the Hanzhong army array was thrown into chaos.

Tan Tai's bravery brought the Qing army's sluggish morale back to its peak.

On the mountain road, tsunami-like shouts erupted from the ranks of the Qing army.

The originally sluggish Qing army soldiers once again cheered up and swarmed in.

The military formation was in chaos, and even if many armored soldiers of the Hanzhong Army refused to retreat, it would be difficult to stop the defeat.

The stalemate has been broken, and the entire battle situation has been really turned around by Tan Tai!

On the high slope below Gongshu Tainan Road, all the Ming army generals looked horrified.

"It's like a dog... it's like a dog..."

Looking at the bloody battle on the mountain road not far away, Huiden looked pale and kept cursing in his mouth.

Gao Jie and Ma Jinzhong, who were standing aside, also had pale faces.

They thought that they had already seen strong winds and waves. He had experienced hundreds of thousands of battles, and no matter what the scene on the battlefield was, he could not be shocked anymore.

But the bloody battle before them really frightened them.

"kill!!"

On the mountain road, a group of Hanzhong Army armored soldiers roared crazily, still trying to regain their footing.

"The collapse of the mountain road can no longer be stopped. If we continue to fight, it will be a waste of the lives of the soldiers. Let them retreat and retreat to the camp. Then send another army to the top to guard the south road."

Zuo Guangxian was frightened in his heart, but he still remained calm on his face.

The resilience of the Hanzhong army and the bravery of the Qing army also shocked him, but he did not lose his calm judgment.

In just a moment, he had already thought of the best strategy to remedy the situation.

However, this strategy was not adopted by Chen Wang.

"Can't go back!"

Chen Wang's eyes were sinister and he rejected Zuo Guangxian's proposal in a cold voice.

His voice was low but firm.

"We must not retreat at this time!"

"Once morale is depleted, our army will never be able to fight again!"

"Half of the artillery has not been transported to the high platform. Once the army retreats, Gongshu Terrace will be left alone. It will be harder than climbing to the sky to recapture the South Road."

Chen Wang knows the current battle situation better than anyone else.

Because of the small height difference and the cover of the mountains, the initial movements of the Qing army were not exposed.

It wasn't until the moment he was about to meet Tu Qiongdagger that Chen Wang saw the anomaly in the Qing army's ranks, and it was already too late to deal with it.

Husband battle, courage also!

Once the army retreats and suffers such a huge defeat, morale will be exhausted and the unity of the people will collapse.

The three armies will be shocked by the bravery of the Qing soldiers and will feel fear. When all their sharp edges are lost, how can they seize the mountain road again? !
How can I retreat at this time!

"Chen Gong!!!"

Chen Wang hurriedly walked down the slope and roared angrily.

"Subordinates are here!"

Under the high slope, Chen Gong, wearing a bright iron helmet, bright silver fish scale armor, and a robe belt, came quickly and answered the order.

"Gather all your soldiers and rush to the front line immediately! Block Jiannu's offensive for me!"

"Follow the order!"

Chen Gong strode away, and a group of personal guards who were originally guarding Chen Gong also ran towards the front after him.

Chen Wang looked around, and finally his eyes fell on a slope not far away.

Then Chen Wang took off his armor without hesitation, and even cut off the straps in many places with a knife in order to save time.

Without any delay, Chen Wang walked lightly, even throwing his sword to the ground, leaving only the quiver and bow hanging on his waist.

Chen Wang carried his bow and arrow and walked a dozen steps along the mountain path, climbing through the slow place toward the top of the slope.

When a group of personal guards saw Chen Wang behaving like this, they followed him one after another. The whole scene was quite chaotic.

Standing on the high slope, Zuo Guangxian and Gao Jie, as well as Hui Dengxiang, Ma Jinzhong and others were all confused at first.

But soon, they understood the intention...

Chen Wang was holding a bow and arrow, standing on the slope.

The north wind was howling and the early wind was biting, blowing up the red arrow jacket on Chen Wang's body.

Chen Wang stood in the wind, motionless, with a pair of eagle eyes looking down, and he had a panoramic view of the entire mountain road.

On the mountain road, the sword in Tan Tai's hand has been replaced by an iron bone flower. He waved the iron bone flower in his hand desperately and kept hammering away at the surrounding Hanzhong armored soldiers.

Tan Tai was wearing red and yellow gilded armor, and his solid forehead armor made him extremely conspicuous among the crowd.

Not far away, Chen Gong had separated the crowd, separated some soldiers, and built a new line of defense.

Chen Gong held an ax and shield and led a group of personal guards down the mountain road, less than ten steps away from where Tan Tai was.

On the mountain road, figures were shaking. Although Tan Tai was out of breath, he was still moving forward desperately.

Several personal guards were guarding him to clear the way for him.

Behind him were a group of armored soldiers of the Qing army, with high morale and fighting fiercely.

Tan Tai's bravery inspired them!
They stared ahead, their eyes filled with bloodthirsty and madness.

No one noticed that there was a person standing diagonally above them.

Chen Wang held his breath and concentrated, his heart as calm as water, like a bright mirror.

Tan Tai among the crowd was still moving.

The bamboo body of the composite bow made a continuous creaking sound in the air with the north wind, and had already dissipated among the mountains before it reached the mountain road.

Chen Wang filled the bowstring and suddenly loosened the string. The bowstring of the iron bow rang softly, making a muffled sound like an urn.

The arrow was like a shooting star chasing the moon, leaving the string with the sound of howling wind.

The air seemed to be condensed at this moment.

On the high slope, Zuo Guangxian, Gao Jie and other generals were all holding their breath and concentrating, their eyes fixed on the mountain road not far away.

They just watched as Tan Tai, wearing gilt armor, slowly fell to the ground on the mountain road!
It is undoubtedly extremely difficult to hit a moving target on such a steep cliff and in such a strong wind.

Zuo Guangxian was shocked and spoke in a solemn voice.

"If a louse pierces a poplar tree, I'm afraid Li Guang in the Han Dynasty could do nothing more than that!"
