Chapter 123: The Situation Reversal (First Update, Asking for Votes!) )
The situation took a turn for the worse, which was completely beyond Ai Chengye's expectations!
In the face of the ambush of the Ming army, even if they lose one or two thousand people, it is not painful, as long as some soldiers successfully land on the beach, it can give the Ming army great pressure.
Today, the number of Qing soldiers on the north shore is close to 1,000.
The total ambush of the Ming army was only 3,000 people.
These 3,000 men not only had to engage in hand-to-hand combat with the Qing soldiers who landed, but also had to shoot arrows to suppress the Qing soldiers crossing the river.
For a time, the troops were overstretched.
Ai Chengye sweated profusely.
Isn't it because of one of his reckless decisions that he wants to bring the Ming army to its death?
Seeing that there were more and more Qing soldiers coming in, like a frenzy in the angry sea, Ai Chengye personally drew his sword and led his own army to meet him.
"Resist, resist Lao Tzu! Death to those who retreat! ”
Ai Chengye roared hoarsely.
But there were more and more Qing soldiers around him, and the Ming soldiers fell one by one.
Ai Chengye slashed and killed more than a dozen people in a row, but it seemed to be useless.
Are you really going to die here today?
The Qing soldiers relied on the tactics of the sea of people to constantly perform wheel warfare, and countless Ming soldiers fell down with all their strength, and the unwilling eyes before they died were heartbreaking.
The Ming army, which had been waiting to ambush the Qing soldiers, was now surrounded and fighting hard.
"General Ai, you can't hold it, let's break through quickly."
Seeing this, the soldiers hurriedly reminded Ai Chengye.
"While you haven't been completely surrounded yet, everyone will desperately protect you and kill you!"
Ai Chengye was red-eyed, shook his head again and again, and said: "The matter has come to this, even if I rush out, what's the point?" To live together, to die together! ”
These veterans were all left to Ai Chengye by his father Ai Nengqi. If these veterans are all dead, Ai Chengye will also become a bare-bones general.
It's more painful to live like that than to kill him!
"Today, Lao Tzu will fight with Dongyu!"
At this moment, Ai Chengye's eyes were full of determination.
...
...
Seeing more and more Qing soldiers attacking the north bank, Zhao Liangdong smiled.
Even thousands of people dare to come to ambush Lao Tzu? This general is too stupid, isn't he?
He thought that he was going to end up with a big defeat today, but he never thought that the situation would change so quickly!
"Rush ashore and kill all the dogs!"
Zhao Liangdong, who was holding back his anger, was eager to vent at the moment, and laughed presumptuously.
Winning the head of a few thousand Ming dogs can already be regarded as a great achievement.
Breaking the city of Yibin in an instant, wouldn't he have made a world-class feat?
Zhao Liangdong seemed to see that the prince was right in front of him, if he could be crowned the king, his life would not be in vain!
At this moment, the arrows of the Ming army have been shot sparsely, and they cannot be suppressed at all, and the Qing soldiers can wantonly attack the positions of the Ming army.
Zhao Liangdong saw that one by one Ming soldiers were cut down, and instantly rolled into the river, dyeing the river water in that area red.
"Capture the enemy alive and reward a thousand taels of silver!"
Zhao Liangdong shouted.
...
...
After the Qing soldiers gained a foothold on the north bank, they encroached on the positions of the Ming army step by step.
Ai Chengye was forced to retreat, and finally retreated to the edge of the dense forest.
This is the last bunker.
After exiting the jungle, the Ming army will have no cover. In the face of the Qing soldiers who are far above their own in absolute numbers, the Ming army will have no chance of winning!
At this moment, Ai Chengye was completely desperate, and after letting out a beast-like roar, he ordered the Ming army, which had only more than a thousand people left, to launch a final charge.
Just as the Ming army was about to charge, he suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves.
Ai Chengye turned his head to look, but saw yellow dust rolling in the distance, and a large army was galloping towards him.
Naturally, coming from this direction was the Ming army.
Reinforcements are coming!
Ai Chengye's desperate face finally showed a trace of anger, and he said sharply: "Steady, Your Majesty and King Jin have come to save us!" ”
The soldiers shouted desperately, passing Ai Chengye's words to every soldier.
When the soldiers of the Ming army heard the news, their eyes lit up again.
Reinforcements are coming, reinforcements are coming!
Your Majesty and the Imperial Court did not give up on them!
Just hold on a little longer and they will be saved!
......
......
It was Zhu Youlang and Li Dingguo who came to the rescue.
Zhu Youlang always felt that Ai Chengye's ambush plan had some loopholes, so he ordered Li Dingguo to keep an eye on it.
Seeing that the situation was not right, he personally led the army out of the city to the Happy Horse River to rescue.
The cavalry brought by this battle can be described as all the elite cavalry of the Ming army.
Twenty thousand cavalry galloped in, and the sound of horses' hooves shook the sky.
Zhu Youlang's riding skills are not exquisite, but the basic operations are still online, at least there will be no embarrassment like being thrown off the horse.
The position of the Chinese army where Zhu Youlang and Li Dingguo are located is also relatively safe.
With the advantage of speed, the cavalry that rushed up was crushing in the face of the Qing infantry that had just landed.
Ai Chengye at the edge of the dense forest also seemed to understand this, and the remaining Ming soldiers withdrew from the dense forest one after another.
The Qing soldiers were overjoyed when they saw this, and they chased them out.
In the dense forest, it would take them some time to kill all the thieves, but now it was much easier.
In their eyes, the thief's head is silver for nothing!
Nearly 10,000 Qing soldiers chased out of the dense forest and chased after Ai Chengye's army, who fled for his life.
Seeing that they were about to catch up, these Ming thieves suddenly dispersed, and what appeared in front of them were countless Ming cavalry.
Where did so many Ming cavalry suddenly come out?
These soldiers were so stupid for a moment that they didn't run away in the first place.
By the time they reacted, it was too late.
The cavalry's impact was extremely fast, and it came to them in an instant.
Under the impact of the rapid and furious violence, countless Qing soldiers were trampled to death by war horses, and their heads were cut off by the Ming cavalry with swords.
For a while, the ghost cried and the wolf howled, and the scene was very chaotic.
In the era of cold weapons, there was only one situation in which infantry could restrain cavalry, and that was heavy infantry.
But now these Qing soldiers who are chasing and killing only have a knife in their hands, how can they stop the cavalry formation of the Ming army?
The defeat was like a mountain, and these Qing soldiers were already frightened and wanted to flee back into the bushes.
But how could Zhu Youlang give them a chance and order a part of the cavalry to block the entrance to the dense forest and cut off their retreat!
"No mercy!"
Zhu Youlang roared angrily, he didn't need the slightest mercy for these Qing soldiers.

PS: Say something. I chatted with the editor-in-chief for a long time on Friday, and the recommendation of this book is almost on except for Sanjiang's strong push. Just the classification and sealing push have been on it three times, this result Lao Kun is really ashamed. Although the editor-in-chief did not say it explicitly, it meant that Sanjiang's chances were already small. Next week is my last chance. If there is no Sanjiang, it should be on the shelves. Without Sanjiang in the second book, Lao Kun's mentality is really broken. I wanted to smash my computer monitor. This book has a collection of 10,000 yuan, and I don't know if there can be 500 orders on the shelves. Here, I would like to ask everyone, how many people will subscribe to support it after it is put on the shelves?
