Section 62 Jianning War - A man's heart is like iron
As they got closer and closer, the other party also shot back, and a scream sounded in his ears. The cavalry that rushed ahead shrank their necks, and the feathered arrows swooped down on them with a fierce howl that pierced the wind.
The cavalry knew that when charging, no matter where you shot, you must think about sitting on the back of the horse, and you must not fall, or the horse falls, so that no matter how you are injured, you will be trampled into meat sauce by the people behind.
The shouts of "killing" the enemy shook people's ears as if they were about to be deaf.
"Release" Lan Gang put the flag down in his hand, and the second round of feather arrows was shot.
The cavalry brigade charged by the Qing soldiers was getting closer and closer, and at this time, the cavalry who rushed to the front row saw clearly, a row of wooden stakes were covered with the military uniforms of the Ming army, wearing Fan Yangli.
"Damn, I've been fooled again," the front cavalry scolded, but at this time it was getting closer and closer to the row of wooden stakes at the mountain crossing, and there was no place to hide. Seeing the piles in front of me, there was still a trace of luck in my heart before the collision, hoping that these stakes would just stand here, and they would fall down as soon as they hit.
The great waves of the cavalry were smashed to pieces by the rocks on the side of the rocks like real waves. At this time, those wooden stakes caught fire, turned into torches, completely blocked the mountain road, helpless, the Qing army had to choose a place to camp and wait for the fire to go out. In this battle, the Qing army lost more than 200 cavalry. Although it is a drop in the bucket for the army, it is only a loss of morale that can be imagined.
What especially made Balbow Mountain angry was that when the Zheng family kid left, he had to shout with the whole army: "There is General Lao to send him off." "This is all the effect of Lan Gang wearing that handsome golden armor.
In the next few days, one chased, one escaped, and from time to time the chase encountered a trap, falling rocks, night raids and other plots, and those who escaped were accidentally chopped down dozens of horses.
In just five days, the 2,000 rear army of the Ming army was only a thousand people.
Lan Gang's body had already been wounded by his soldiers, and only a golden armor remained, which was also stained with blood and could not be reflected in the fire at night.
"Da Ke, the army in front has already entered the city, and the marshal wants you to speed up and return to Jianning as soon as possible." The herald from Jianning was Lan Gang's subordinate before, and seeing that Lan Gang naturally avoided some affection, he was still called the same as when he was next to Zheng Sen.
Lan Gang nodded.
"Yes, I want to too, but ......" Lan Gang said to himself in his heart, and he looked back at the wounded soldiers lying around the fire over there, about two hundred people. Originally, there were more than 300 wounded, but it was difficult to take good care of them during the continuous battle, and those who were seriously injured finally died due to the deterioration of their injuries in the continuous rain for several days.
The herald from Jianning whispered to Lan Gang, "As long as we ...... Throw him down, and the cavalry that is still intact will have the possibility of leaving safely, but if you take these wounded soldiers with you, tomorrow's battle may be more than lucky. ”
From the herald's mouth, Lan Gang learned that there was also an enemy trace in the north of Jianning, so it can be seen that Xun Boluo must be divided into two roads, one from the south of Wuyi Mountain, one from the north to Jianning, and all the way from east to west, which is the road that he dragged by himself. I shudder when I think about it, if the one who came south first occupied Jianning, then these 50,000 troops would all become the turtles in Weng.
"No, I will not leave behind the brothers who fought with me in bloody battles, so that early tomorrow morning, you will lead five hundred cavalry first, and you will definitely bring these wounded brothers back to Jianning."
"Big brother, don't be stubborn, Zheng Shuai has ordered, no matter what, you have to go back to the camp, otherwise you will be punished for violating the order." The herald begged with a crying voice, and finally moved out of Zheng Sen.
Lan Gang smiled. "Do as I say, and as for punishment, leave it until I get back."
It was getting lighter, and although it didn't rain all night, in the morning it began to rain non-stop. Early in the morning, Lan Gang wore a blood-stained leather armor taken from a wounded soldier, and the gold armor on his body was already shiny, wrapped and held in his hand.
"Brother, take them and go quickly, or you won't be able to leave when it gets dawn." I'm here, no matter what, I can bring these injured brothers back to Jianning, please. ”
"Big brother...... Big brother take care. The herald snorted again, hoping to change his mind at this last moment.
Just looked at Lan Gang's iron-hearted face, and had nothing to say, so he had to take care and turn back.
Crossbow Mountain was also ready for battle, looking through the armor on his face at the sparse enemy soldiers in front of him.
About six or seven hundred cavalry, lined up in a sparse phalanx,
"Hmph, look at what tricks you can play today," Yakuza said, looking around.
"Hey! Don't look for it, fool Crossbow Mountain, they've all gone back first, and there's no one else here but us. ”
Lan Gang was amused by the crossbow mountain's movements here, and laughed loudly at him.
Crossbow Mountain didn't speak, with a faint smile on his face, but with a wave of the horsewhip in his hand, the horn of the Qing soldiers' charge began to "whine" again. The meaning of the crossbow mountain is very clear, you are smart, you are treacherous, but you have failed.
Look at the cavalry on the two wings of what the southerners called the crab formation, like the two big claw pincers of the crab, rushing towards the thin phalanx, and seeing that they were about to join them.
"Kill" the cavalry of the Seven Hundred Ming Army shouted, and rushed towards the formation of the crab formation with the swords and guns in their hands. Lan Gang has faced the Qing army many times, and he knows that the position of the commander in that formation is the thinnest, if it is the Boluo family, it should be the place to place the Franc machine gun, but there is no cannon in the crossbow mountain. So with a shout, more than 700 cavalry rushed towards the center of the Qing army's crab formation. As long as you break through there, there will be mountains not far away, and as long as you get into it, you can't find it with 4,000 people. This is Lan Gang's calculation.
The crab crows on both sides came to them, but because the curved walk was much slower than the straight line impact, although the Ming army launched later than them, the speed was much faster than them, and the two crab cao that only swept to the tail of the Ming army had to turn into a tail to chase.
Crossbow Mountain smiled, he smiled happily, "Such a smart person is also fooled. ”
The "all-army assault" flicked the horsewhip again, making a crisp "pop" sound.
Soon, the Ming army, which rushed to the front, met the Chinese army led by Bowshan.
"Haha" Suddenly Balperbow Mountain laughed loudly, the sound was like the roar of a wild lion, and it actually wanted to cover the hooves of the galloping horse. In his hand, he wielded a mace nearly a foot long, and the teeth on it were actually three inches long, and they were sharp and sharp.
