Nanming Yiming

Chapter 117
Qian Mo led 2800 people from the Chongming Camp to ambush outside the east gate of Xiuning, waiting for the results in the city.

However, after waiting for a long time, the city gate was not opened.

So he asked Ma Zhanyuan next to him: "Vice President Ma, what time is it now? Why is there still no movement in the city?"

Ma Zhanyuan said: "I would like to report to Zhongyonghou. Now that it's just arrived at Haishi, maybe there is some sudden change in the city. I believe Hong Zongbing and the others will be able to deal with it."

Qian Mo thought so too, now there are only 1000 Qing troops in Xiuning City, even if the Qing army finds out about the attempt, Hong Fugui can take down Xiuning County even if he fights hard with 200 elite soldiers from Chongming Battalion.

But not long after, there was a faint sound of firecrackers in the city, and a loud arrow shot across the night, shattering the silent night in an instant.The arrow roared, leaving a gray trail in the night sky.

No, it must be that Hong Fugui was ambushed in the city, and he would never send out loud arrows just to seize the city and be discovered by the enemy.

Qian Mo said loudly: "Vice President Ma, hurry up and attack the city to distract the enemy's attention, so as to assist Hong Fugui and the others to capture the city!"

Ma Zhanyuan looked helpless, and said with a sad face: "But the brothers are not prepared to storm the city at all, and they don't carry any siege equipment. How can they break the city?"

Qian Mo was also laughed angrily by Ma Zhanyuan, and said, "It's the governor who didn't make it clear. We just need to feint to create momentum. The musketeers try to kill the Qing army from a distance. We must attract their attention."

After receiving the order, Ma Zhanyuan immediately led 1000 men and horses out of the woods outside the city. The Ming army shouted slogans and charged towards the city.

The shouts of killing under the city were deafening, frightening the Qing army above the city.

Mr. Lin Qian habitually shouted: "Everyone, don't panic, hurry up and shoot arrows down the city!"

At this time, a soldier reminded: "Mr. Lin Qian, the archers were transferred by General Jia Shen to ambush the Ming army in the city. Now there are no bows and arrows in the city."

Mr. Lin Qian was also intimidated by the momentum of the Ming army, and actually forgot about it.As far as the eye can see, there are huge crowds of Ming soldiers below the city, with bursts of white smoke emitting from time to time, and firecrackers constantly shooting towards the city.

Mr. Lin Qian shouted: "Everyone pay attention to concealment, don't show your head, so as not to be hit by the Ming army's firecrackers!"

He cursed secretly in his heart: Why didn't this group of Ning Guojun move out? Did they have to wait for the Ming army to enter the city before they would take action.

On the hillside outside Xiuning City, Wang Guodong, the general of the Ning Kingdom, was observing the Ming army attacking the city.

Deputy General Wu Sanyong said: "My lord, the Ming army at the foot of the mountain is like a rainbow. If we don't take action, I'm afraid the city will flee and let the Ming army break through."

Wang Guodong said: "Why are you so anxious? I didn't see that the Ming army didn't bring any siege equipment, ladders, or battering rams. Could it be that they could climb the city wall with bare hands?"

"Now that the Ming army is in full swing, although we can kill them at this time, we can't avoid a fierce battle; it's better to let them make trouble for a while, and wait for their morale to drop and their physical strength to be exhausted before we attack. Only then can we attack." Get twice the result with half the effort!"

Wu Sanyong said: "Your Excellency Commander is too careful. I think the Ming army in the city is only a thousand or so. We have 5000 troops, and we ambushed on the hillsides on both sides, condescendingly attacking the enemy army. There is no reason for us to be invincible."

Looking at Wu Sanyong who spoke so convincingly, Wang Guodong shook his head helplessly.I thought to myself that although the Ming army at the foot of the mountain only had a thousand men, they had a momentum of several thousand men, which showed that they were elite troops.The Zhejiang Ming army won consecutive battles, and even the Eight Banners in Hangzhou were wiped out by them. How could I act carelessly.

I originally had 6000 people, but I lost a full 1000 troops in Yi County in the past few days. Now that I meet such an elite Ming army, I am afraid that I will inevitably lose troops and lose generals.

Although it showed that the army was fighting lively under the city, after all, they couldn't attack the city, and after a while, they died down.

At this time, only one cannon was heard, and the sound of killing suddenly shook the sky, and a large number of enemy troops rushed out from the nearby hillside.

In the dark night, the Qing army all over the mountains and plains was seen fighting from both sides with swords and guns, shouting slogans.

This scene was even more spectacular than when the Ming army attacked the city just now. Ma Zhanyuan was stunned. It took a while to react, and shouted: "Don't panic, form an array to meet the enemy."

It's a pity that at this time, the two sides have already begun to engage in hand-to-hand combat. Obviously, the Ming army has missed the best time to form an formation.

In the dark night, I saw the Qing army condescending, attacking the Ming army like a rainbow.The Ming army, which hadn't had time to form an formation, could only fight hastily, and the soldiers holding firecrackers also inserted bayonets.The weapons in the hands of both sides staggered instantly, the spears swung in the air, the blades slashed across the faces of the soldiers, and the noisy battle sound covered the entire battlefield.

After all, the Ming army is also an elite in a hundred battles. Even though they are at a disadvantage at this time, they must defend their honor to the death.

The Qing army also rushed to the Ming army recklessly, and both sides showed amazing courage.

As more and more Qing troops joined the battlefield, the Ming army faced the disadvantage of being trapped by the enemy, and it was obviously at a disadvantage.

Even Qian Mo who was behind was stunned by this scene. How could there be so many Qing troops? Could it be that he fell into the Qing army's trick to lure the enemy in?

Seeing that Ma Zhanyuan was running out of money, Qian Mo stepped on his horse and was about to lead the rest of the troops to support him.

At this time, Mr. Ma Qian, nicknamed "One-Eyed Dragon", hurriedly stopped Qian Mo and said: "The Qing army has a large number of troops, and the situation of the enemy ahead is unknown. Uncle Zhongyong must not personally take risks!"

Qian Mo roared angrily: "Mr. Ma Qian, you dare to disobey the military order of the governor, and if you don't let the governor let you go, I will kill you immediately!"

"One-Eyed Dragon" desperately grabbed Qian Mo's reins, and said excitedly: "Even if Uncle Zhongyong kills the last general, the last general will never let go."

"The Qing army came prepared, and there are dangers ahead. I ask Uncle Zhongyong to put the overall situation first!"

Qian Mo didn't know that there was danger ahead, but at this time Ma Zhanyuan was under surprise attack, and the army's morale was unstable; only by leading the army himself could he boost morale, quickly stabilize the situation, and defeat the Qing army ahead.

However, what "One-Eyed Dragon" said was not unreasonable, after all, his identity was different now; it was no problem to go to the battlefield to command in person, but it would be too dangerous to personally lead troops to charge into battle.

A commander who likes to charge in person is prone to accidents, and there are too many such examples in history.

It is said that "wild boar skin" Nurhachi was injured by the red cannon outside Ningyuan City, and finally died of serious injuries and hatred.

The most regrettable thing is Li Rusong, the eldest son of Li Chengliang, the Liaodong general. Li Rusong was a commander who liked to charge in person. In the 26th year of Wanli (1598), Li Rusong was ambushed during the battle with the local barbarians and died accidentally.

The Liaodong Ming army lost an excellent commander, which also led to the gradual rise of the Jianzhou Jurchen, which eventually led to today's catastrophe.

Past experience guide for the future.

Seeing that this "one-eyed dragon" couldn't resist, Qian Mo had no choice but to say: "Mr. Ma Qian, hurry up and take someone to meet Zongbing Ma. Remember that the enemy's situation is unknown, so don't bother to fight. Take Zongbing Ma and retreat towards Xin'anjiang and Shenji Battalion confluence."

"One-Eyed Dragon" then said to a hundred households: "Hurry up and escort Uncle Zhongyong to retreat, and the others follow me to meet the brothers in front."

Fortunately, the soldiers of the Chongming Battalion were all good at mandarin duck formations. Although they were dispersed by the Qing army as a whole, they could still form a small "two-talented formation" or "three-talented formation".Relying on the exquisite cooperation of the mandarin duck formation, they still fought and retreated, effectively killing the Qing army.

However, there are still a considerable number of new recruits in the Chongming camp, and the gap between them and the veterans is now reflected.Many recruits forgot to line up and cooperate in the panic, and it was dark again, so they were killed by the Qing army in the panic.

In addition, although many blunderbuss soldiers had installed bayonets, it was really a disadvantage to fight close to each other with blunderbuss. Gradually, the Ming army began to be unable to support it.

The Qing army became even more excited when they saw that the Ming army showed signs of collapse.Wu Sanyong shouted: "Brothers, work harder, the Ming army is about to be overwhelmed."

Seeing that his own side was on the verge of collapse, Ma Zhanyuan's desire to fight was aroused, and he brandished a long knife to kill the Qing army.

Ma Zhanyuan is dressed in silver armor and holds a long knife, which is particularly conspicuous in the dark night.His shining knife light cut through the darkness of the battlefield and pushed the atmosphere of the battle to a climax.

Wherever he passed, there was whimpering and howling!The panic of the soldiers of the Qing army spread rapidly, and they kept retreating, not daring to confront him directly.

But Ma Zhanyuan continued to kill the enemy soldiers with his long knife, roaring like a lion.Every attack he made was like a violent storm, constantly rushing forward, endlessly dispersing the surrounding Qing troops.

Seeing the bravery of their master general, the soldiers of the Ming army around him instantly boosted their morale and exploded with astonishing combat power, gradually stabilizing the crumbling battle line.

Ma Zhanyuan's heroic performance soon aroused Wu Sanyong's idea. After beheading a Ming soldier casually, Wu Sanyong quietly pulled the bowstring, and the arrow flashed coldly, aiming at Ma Zhanyuan's back.

Then, a silver arrow appeared and shot towards Ma Zhanyuan quickly.The arrow rushed towards the target fiercely like a wild beast, silently.

A dignified and terrifying hiss came. Although Ma Zhanyuan couldn't see the situation behind him, he still smelled a hint of danger.He subconsciously turned his body sideways, and soon a sharp pain came from his left arm. The injured Ma Zhanyuan couldn't hold the knife with both hands, so he had to wave the knife with one hand to barely resist.

The Qing army saw that the pace of the killing god's harvest had slowed down, and in the spirit of "killing you while you are sick", they immediately seized the opportunity and came to besiege.

Ma Zhanyuan, who was already physically exhausted, relied on his aura to deter the enemy.Now that his arm was injured and he was besieged by the Qing army, he was once in danger and was almost stabbed by the Qing army.

Fortunately, at this time, "Cyclops" led the reinforcements to arrive in time. The Ming army, which was under siege, saw the arrival of the reinforcements, and their morale soared instantly.They began to charge desperately towards the reinforcements. The Qing army, which was besieging, was also caught off guard by this sudden change, and the offensive and defensive momentum immediately reversed.

Wang Guodong, who was watching the battle from a distance, changed his expression greatly. He had already surrounded the Ming army just now, and seeing that the Ming army was about to collapse, he did not expect that they would have a backup.

Looking at the Ming army rushing towards the battlefield under the mountain, it is estimated that this reinforcement force has at least 1500 people, and there are also many cavalry.Fortunately, the two sides have been fighting together now, and the cavalry of the Ming army can't exert their power, otherwise it will be dangerous.

Fortunately, when I attacked the Ming army just now, I still retained 2000 people, and I didn't put all my troops into it in one go. Seeing that the Qing army on the periphery was in danger of collapsing under the attack from both sides of the Ming army.

Wang Guodong drew out his saber and shouted: "Brothers follow me to attack and wipe out all this Ming army!"

Meeting on a narrow road, the brave wins. At this time, both the Ming and Qing dynasties have become entangled together, and there is no room for retreat.No matter whether there is a retreat on either side, what awaits them must be doomed.

As Wang Guodong's Qing army also joined the battle, the Qing army gradually stabilized the line of defense that was about to collapse.In this kind of mountain melee, the mandarin duck formation of the Chongming Camp still had an advantage.Fortunately, the Qing army had the upper hand. The Ming army invested a total of 2500 people, while the Qing army dispatched 5000 people.

The fight of nearly ten thousand people is a spectacular scene.

Against the background of the moonlight, the sound of fighting all over the mountains and plains resounded through the sky.The cold light constantly flickering in the darkness made people even more shuddering.

Mr. Lin Qian in Xiuning City is now in a cold sweat, thinking that it is fortunate that it is at night, and he can't see the scene of blood flowing into rivers below the city.

But soon he imagined the miserable scene of purgatory on earth outside the city, and now even if you lend him ten courages, he will not dare to go out of the city to support.

Although it was a scuffle, it wasn't that the two sides fought together completely without any rules.As the Qing army, which was pinched by the Ming army, gradually collapsed, the two sides gradually formed two large square formations to fight, ending the chaotic state of "I am in you, and you are in me" at the beginning.

As casualties continued to increase, the Qing army's numerical advantage was gradually shrinking.Obviously, after losing the bonus of surprise attack at the beginning stage, the Qing troops in Chizhou and Ningguo Mansion were no match for the Chongming Battalion at all.The Ming army used the cooperation of the mandarin duck formation to easily harvest the heads of the Qing army, and at this time the Qing army was also constantly retreating under the oppression of the Ming army.

Wang Guodong knew that he could not retreat at this time. There were at least several hundred cavalry behind the Ming army's battle formation. As long as he retreated, those Ming army cavalry would rush up and slaughter them mercilessly.

Meeting on a narrow road, the brave wins, Wang Guodong can only imitate Ma Zhanyuan before.

I saw Wang Guodong, who was tall and wearing a strong armor, charged into the formation with a spear in his hand.He leaped into the air, and his spear flew across the battlefield like a silver poisonous snake. With a light stab, a Ming soldier fell to the ground.

Then Wang Guodong roared, and the huge silver gun shone coldly in the night, and wherever the cold light went, the Ming army howled.

Driven by Wang Guodong, the Qing army also mustered up their courage again, and the two sides became anxious again.

Just as the two sides were fighting with all their strength, suddenly several loud noises were heard, and huge flames lit up the night sky
