Chapter 109: Wu Xiang, You Ran Away Again (Ask for Collection, Ask for Recommendation)
This is...... Is it a triddle?
It's not that I have already gone to Beicheng, how could I appear on the East Cross Street of Weinan City, Tianjin!?
At this moment, it was not only Wu Xiang and the more than a hundred gold-armored knights under his command who were stupefied. The 1,000 or so soldiers of the "Dashun Old Battalion" on the opposite side also seemed to have been immobilized, standing there and not moving.
These old battalion soldiers of Dashun are, of course, also Xibei goods. They are all the rebels gathered by Zhang Juren and Fan Juren here in Tianjin. It sounds good to say that the rebels are good, but in fact, they are children, house slaves, gangsters, ruffians and the like, who were gathered by the two people who tried their best to put on blue clothes and white hats to scare people.
In this way, on the East Cross Street of Weinan City, Tianjin, there was a confrontation scene that made people breathless.
The fake Yiding Turquoise rode against the fake Dashun old battalion soldiers!
There are many fake old battalion soldiers, almost thousands, and there is a lot of momentum crowding on the streets.
And the fake Yiding Tuqi has two flags, plus Wu Xiang's old family Ding, there are only more than 170 people in the full battle. But because they're all on horseback, there's still a bit of momentum.
If Wu Xiang was ten years younger, or if his son Wu Sanfu came, he would have charged with cavalry at this time.
The East Cross Street is still quite wide, more than 100 iron horsemen rushed up, don't say the fake Dashun old camp, it is the real Dashun old camp, as long as you don't form a formation, don't get on the horse, you can't stand their impact!
But Wu Xiang lost the opportunity to charge, and most of the gold-armored knights who followed him were the sons of nobles, not even the generals of the Han Dynasty! The latter is at least big, strong, neatly lined up, and passable in equestrianism. If you really want to fight with your ability, Tianjin Wei's gangsters are not opponents. Saying this, the Han general is big and powerful.
But the goods that Wu Xiang brought with him were all Xungui's children, and they were relatively useless - they were bolder than them, more capable than them, and now they have all been added to the new army to become officers, or to follow Li Ruolian to mix brocade guards. Only the most useless ones were kept in the guard camp to eat...... If they were to dismount and fight with two thugs with men, they would probably be beaten to death.
Just when Wu Xiang was frightened by the fake old Dashun battalion soldier and didn't know what to do for a while, the sound of rapid and dense horses' hooves sounded from behind his old man's house. Old man Wu turned his head and looked, that one was angry!
There are already a lot of bastards behind him who are about to turn around and run away, this is an escape, and they want to kill their heads!
Zhang Juren and Fan Juren also saw that someone in the "Yiding Rush Ride" had run away, and both of them were relieved. In fact, there were people behind them who slipped away, but the movement of walking on two feet was not as loud as the movement of running away on four legs, so it didn't attract too many people's attention.
"The thief ran away! The thief ran away......"
Fan Juren's reaction was relatively fast, and when he saw someone in the queue of the "Yiding Sudden Cavalry" running away, he immediately opened his throat and shouted: "The Zhu thief has run away, rush with me!" ”
After shouting this, he raised a spear more than a foot long, and led the charge with a roar.
And Wu Xiang on the opposite side was stunned when he saw the posture of this black thief general holding a gun. Why did this rogue general aim his gun at the sky? What kind of spear is this? Is it to hit someone with a gun? But they are all cavalry on their side, riding on horseback, so tall, can they smash hard?
"The old governor...... The thieves are coming up, so let's retreat! ”
An elderly old man saw Wu Xiang in a daze, and hurriedly stepped forward to remind him loudly, while reaching out to pull the reins of Wu Xiang's war horse.
Wu Xiang hurriedly tapped the back of the man's hand with a horsewhip, and scolded: "He's N, Lao Tzu is not confused!" ”
As he spoke, he turned around with great skill, and galloped away along the street with dozens of horses that had not yet taken the initiative to escape.
"Wowhaha! What Yiding Raid, all of them are vulnerable! Fan Juren laughed loudly, this can be regarded as a victory in the first battle, and it is still a victory, it is really unpleasant!
"Sons!" Fan Juren, who felt that he had become General Fan, roared again, "Don't care about the cavalry of the Zhu Thief, they all go with a certain family to take the life of the Zhu Thief Emperor!" Wow yes ......"
Wow yes...... If his ancestor of the thousand households who followed Zhu Yuanzhang to fight the world saw him like this, he would have to come up and shave his ears and smoke hard.
Because Wu Xiang retreated not to run away, but to reorganize the formation.
Battles between horsemen rarely end for a while, and it is usually necessary to fight back and forth for many rounds before the winner is decided.
Moreover, both sides of the cavalry have to pay attention to the formation, and they have to fight in formation. The cavalry charged in a group, and the infantry resisted in formation. Whichever side is out of order, it must be reorganized as soon as possible. Generally speaking, the infantry will be broken up and will be defeated. And because the cavalry is four-legged, it is relatively fast and can retreat and regroup.
The Four Banners Armored Cavalry led by Wu Xiang did not form a charging formation because they encountered the enemy when they were marching in the city, and they were too close to the opponent to speed up. Therefore, retreating first, regrouping again, and the first impact is the standard tactic.
As for the two large infantrymen, they should take the opportunity to occupy the buildings at the crossroads, place archers on high ground, and set up barricades to block the cavalry charge.
But Fan Daju thought that he had won, and he was impatient to arrest Emperor Chongzhen, completely ignoring Wu Xiang's cavalry.
Fortunately, the gold-armored cavalry under Wu Xiang is also a waste of firewood, and his old man will not be able to reorganize the team for a while, so Fan Daju can continue to perform for a while.
Because Zhang Juren had already inquired about the location of Chongzhen's palace before, the leaders of the rebel army under the blind command of Fan Juren and Zhang Juren took a group of rabble to the Tianjin Governor's Yamen.
In the Tianjin Governor's Yamen, Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty was standing in front of the palace in full uniform, holding a sword, looking like he was going to drive the expedition in person.
He knew that his son was not in Nancheng, and he also knew that the pontoon bridge was burned out...... In other words, now in the southern city of Tianjin, he, the emperor, is the biggest!
You have to take advantage of the opportunity to redeem some prestige!
The main hall, oh, is in front of the original Tianjin Governor's Yamen Hall, and there are still many civil and military ministers standing at this time. They did not come to serve the government, but to take refuge in the houses near the governor's yamen.
There were still hundreds of civil and military ministers who followed Chongzhen and Zhu Cihong to Tianjin, and some of them were pulled over by the Generalissimo of the Fu Army. They were all arranged to live in the Yamen of the General Army and the nearby barracks.
The rest of the people were placed by Feng Yuanyang, and they all lived near the governor's yamen and the dusi yamen - these two yamen were together, the governor's yamen was relatively new, the house was beautiful, and there was a back garden, so it became a palace. And Feng Yuanyang, the governor, moved to the Dusi Yamen next door, and his patrol standard is gone, but there are still a few officials and clerks under him. In addition to handling some small official duties, he can also keep an eye on the situation on the battlefield for him.
Therefore, the news of the attack on the southern city of Tianjin and the burning of the Weihe pontoon bridge was sent to him as soon as possible. Lao Feng's reaction was also very fast, and he immediately went to inform the officials and nobles living in the private house with the third class of officials, and asked them to take refuge in the governor's yamen (formerly the capital division yamen) and the palace (the former governor's yamen) with their families.
And the civil and military ministers who ran to the palace were startled by Emperor Chongzhen, who was neatly dressed and wanted to drive the expedition in person.
The rogues are attacking the city, and you, the emperor, still want to go to the city? Aren't you afraid of being beaten to death by rogues?
But no one advised him not to go this time...... If he dies, won't Zhu Cihong be the emperor justifiably? Now everyone can see clearly that Zhu Cihong's cunning and ferocity are definitely on the same level as Dolgon and Li Zicheng.
If anyone can lead the Ming Dynasty to fight for the Qing Dynasty and the world, it is undoubtedly Zhu Cihong.
Therefore, Chongzhen's death is still good for Daming......
But the big guy didn't expect that the old camp of thieves actually entered the city, and rushed to the outside of the governor's yamen, and collided with Emperor Chongzheng, who was leading his troops to battle!
"Yellow Dragon Banner!" Fan Daju roared angrily, "The Dog Emperor is there, sons, follow me and kill the Emperor!" ”
"Kill......"
For a while, the killing sound was loud, and Emperor Chongzhen was in danger again.
