Chapter 710: Assault on the Jiang Nu Temple 2
The thousands of soldiers who rushed to the granary were not so smooth, they met Wu Sangui's guards, there were thousands of Guanning troops here, and the combat effectiveness was relatively strong, just when they were about to take the battle, countless soldiers suddenly appeared in the west, all of them were Qing soldiers' clothes.
Wu Sangui's soldiers also panicked, they were at a loss for what to do about the sudden appearance of the Qing soldiers, and the Han soldiers had always had a sense of fear of the Qing soldiers, and in the absence of any mental preparation, their only choice was to flee without organization and become scattered.
Fortunately, with this short opportunity, Lao Jiu and Gu Kecheng quickly organized people to burn grain and grass, and all nineteen warehouses burst into flames. The four hundred elites led by Lao Jiu did not stop to admire the sky-high fire, but instead rushed into the main lineup of the Qing soldiers.
Four hundred men rushed into twenty thousand, and they were quickly diluted. But Lee Rae-hyung's troops are different, they are always in the same group, tough and sharp. Gu Kecheng can now organize an attack, and his 10,000 men suddenly rushed to the west. But Gu Kecheng's 10,000 men rushed westward, unable to rush, and the battles were intertwined.
This is not a good phenomenon, as soon as it is intertwined, it will be troublesome, and the lone army will go deep, and the only way to survive is to fight quickly. Li Laiheng couldn't care about the other 5,000 people in Dolgon's ambush, and he shouted: "Kill!"
Four hundred elite cavalry suddenly burst out!
Once Li Laiheng's troops attacked, the attack was extremely fierce, and they basically did not hesitate or hinder the enemy, and they would soon enter the core area of the battlefield. Dolgon stood on a high slope and watched thirty or forty thousand people desperately slash and kill near the Jiang Nu Temple, even for a person like him who had experienced countless wars, he couldn't help but be terrified.
To Dorgon's surprise, 30,000 or 40,000 people fought fiercely in a small area, and they could still be layered and rhythmic. This is a unique performance of the elite against the elite. In such a small place, there will be a sense of suffocation in an army of inferior quality, and once a certain side has a feeling of suffocation, the victory or defeat of the battle will be quickly decided. But the most elite troops that Dorgon was proud of, and were fighting more and less, did not appear in the situation he thought should have been.
Li Laiheng's 800 elite combat power, Dolgon has enough estimates, so he used his last killer weapon. Unexpectedly, however, the 5,000 Guards, the troops he usually only strikes to prevent an internal coup, today they were out of formation under the onslaught of the black flag.
"Herald, one step back, slash!"
The drums suddenly became thick and long. This drum beat is very unique, not rushed, not impatient, loud, and seems to echo. There are no mountains, no canyons, and the drums that echo them. It seemed that there was rolling thunder in the sky.
This was Dorgon's harshest command. Hearing the sound of the drum, those who took a step back were killed! Suddenly, Li Laiheng's elite seemed to hit a hard iron wall. The elite of Lee Lai Heng began to appear dead, not one, but a batch.
The mountain warriors' dexterous maneuvers suddenly became ineffective, and their opponents had no stones or ditches left in their eyes, only the enemy in their eyes. There were a large number of deaths in the mountain warfare division.
Dorgon was horrified. The opponent is dying, and his own essence is also falling in pieces.
"It's a pity! It's a pity!" Dolgon is a man of great talent, and perhaps the best troops in the world are concentrated here, and it is a pity that they have become disabled and dead under the steel sword.
He can't go on like this, the most stingy thing for him is the 5,000 guards he has been operating for many years, and he is really reluctant to die in large numbers today.
"Order, Xuanwu formation. ”
Xuanwu is actually the turtle and snake at the head of the four mythical beasts. The turtle and snake were considered by the ancients to be very powerful sacred beasts, and the Suzaku was ranked second. Feng Shui has the theory of the left green dragon, the right white tiger, the former vermilion bird, and the rear Xuanwu. The ancients looked at the turtle and thought that it was a snake wearing armor and was a very powerful divine beast, so they regarded the turtle Xuanwu as the boss of the four divine beasts.
The so-called Xuanwu formation is to make the army tightly solidified, reduce casualties, establish an invincible position first, and then make a sudden attack to kill and injure the enemy. It is like shrinking into a turtle, attacking like a snake, defending as steady as Mount Tai, and attacking as lightning.
The order of the Xuanwu formation was issued, the drum beat suddenly changed, the dull drum clicked three times and two slowly, and the 20,000 people suddenly turned into a tight circular formation, followed by the shield and the spear, and after the spear were the archers.
Li Laiheng was shocked again. He couldn't help but marvel at the sudden change of formation and invulnerability of the enemy. In terms of formation alone, the mountain warfare division and attack battle he trained were not as skilled as Dolgon's elite, even his eight hundred elites, and the formation was also much inferior.
The enemy must not be allowed to take the initiative and respond to all changes. The enemy's formation is on the only way for Li Laiheng to fight back, so he will not take the necessary way.
"Break out in the north!"
Li Laiheng gave the order to go north. More than 10,000 Li Laiheng soldiers suddenly broke away from the battlefield and galloped north.
Li Laiheng explained to Lao Jiu: "Lao Jiu, we can only implement this plan." You and Gu Kecheng lead troops deep behind enemy lines, where the troops are weak, you go there, and you can harass them on the transportation line of the Qing troops, of course, it is the best. Remember, though, that your task is to come back alive as much as possible. I'll fight back a little further, I have to go back to support the emperor, the battle of Shanhaiguan is very difficult. ”
Li Laiheng's counterattack was difficult, and to fight back at Shanhaiguan, he had to break through a large number of enemy lines. He also had more than 700 men, and these 700 people faced an enemy of more than 20,000 people, which in the past might have been 100,000. In other words, Li Laiheng's 700 elites will break through the encirclement and interception of 100,000 Manchurian Eight Banners, Han Eight Banners, and Mongolian Eight Banners.
Lee Rae-hyung didn't know if he made the right decision. There is often no logic on the battlefield, and decisions may be made by feeling. He felt like he should rush back desperately. And logic told him that he was doing something that violated the laws of nature.
Dolgon was very surprised, Li Laiheng broke through to the north, isn't that looking for death? The north is a wolf's den, they hide from the wolves, why do they drill into the wolf's den instead?
"Chase!"
Dorgon liked to give such orders more than ever. All the generals like to give this full stop. Because the pursuit is the pursuit and killing, the rout is the feast and feast of the victorious side, and it is the diligent pursuit of every general to enjoy a feast.
Li Laiheng's infantry did not stop, they retreated north like apes in the rocks along the coast. Stopping was Li Laiheng's 700 elite cavalry. A black banner with a blood-red plum character on it. Now the black flag has officially been unfurled.
There was a chill in Dolgon's heart. He had seen too much blood, the blood of animals, enemies, aliens, and compatriots, he had seen them all, but the crimson of this Li character was too dazzling. These 700 people seem to be ready to block the onslaught of 25,000 people, what a madness!
Dorgon didn't need any more orders, for his army had not paid attention to the presence of the seven hundred. Seven hundred to twenty-five thousand, too small.
"Kill!"
Li Laiheng roared lowly, he used seven hundred people to break through this thick human wall, there was only one way, "Kill!"
Lee Rae-hyung once again let him know that no matter how tenacious Dorgon's elite is and how delicate his formation is, he always has weaknesses. Dorgon made the mistake that he should have used his five thousand men against the seven hundred, not twenty thousand, or twenty-five thousand. No matter how many troops are against the limited number of soldiers, most of them are idle and redundant. Dorgon had too many idle troops, and that was the mistake Dorgon made.
Lee Rae-hyung went for the thickest part. The thickest part is the enemy's weakest point, and in the event of a terror, it is the most likely to be chaotic.
There is a staff leader of the Zhenghuang Banner here, and the staff leader is a very senior general, and the Zhenghuang Banner has only five staff leaders. This commander has a very luxurious lineup by his side, and there are ten generals of the three armies who are brave and brave as his personal generals. Lee Rae-hyung's sword is aimed directly at this luxurious lineup. Lee Rae-hyung is ready to enjoy the luxurious lineup a hundred steps away in front of him. When the staff leader saw Li Laiheng's sword pointing at him, he immediately became excited.
Real generals like real opponents, and he shouted: "Okay, here comes the one who is looking for death, brothers, follow me!"
This general is one of the contenders for the future Zhenghuang Banner Owner, and his courage and super-first-class combat power are also a strong guarantee for him to become the Banner Owner. He is going to make a great achievement today, and Dolgon personally leads his troops against the enemy's main general, and it is more glorious to kill one such person than to kill ten thousand enemies.
The general rushed forward, and his own soldiers, accustomed to making a way, followed him. "Kill!" "Kill!" ...... The earth-shattering killing sound was emitted by ordinary soldiers, and the dedicated killers had forgotten the existence of other people, and they only had prey in their eyes.
Choked. This was not the sound of Li Laiheng and the staff leader's weapons colliding, but the sound of the staff leader's big sword falling on the rocks. His head and his broadsword fell into the rubble at the same time.
The generals who participated in the leadership were stunned, but after they finished reading it, there was nothing, because they also became headless ghosts, and more than a dozen heads on the ground were cut off by Li Laiheng and his personal soldiers and generals. Today they must be slashed hard, without the slightest mercy.
Sure enough, the thickest place now becomes the weakest part. The Chinese army under the Yellow Flag was in disarray. Next, Lee Rae-hyung's elite penetrated the first formation. The Qing soldiers were not Ming soldiers, they were tenacious and tenacious.
A white flag blocked the way. The positive white flag is one of the three flags in the eight, before Shunzhi, there is no positive white in the upper three flags, but there is a positive blue flag, because at the beginning of Shunzhi, Dolgon will lead the positive white flag into the upper three flags, and the positive blue flag will be lowered into the lower five flags. Therefore, the combat strength of this army can be imagined.
Li Laiheng looked around his team, there were at most five hundred people left, and the loss was too great. The real enemy in front was Dorgon's descendants, who personally guarded the Chinese army. There is no way back, now it is in the middle of the formation, break through in any direction, the distance is the same. Straighten the main formation of the white flag and penetrate the core of Dolgon.
"Kill!"
