Chapter 387: The Praying Mantis Catches the Cicada and the Yellow Sparrow (Second Update!) )
The Ming army led by Wen Anzhi has arrived near Chengdu.
At this time, Wen An ordered the whole army to camp.
He sent a scout horse to inquire about the military situation, and learned that the Western army and the Qing army were killing outside the city of Chengdu.
Although the result was slightly different from what he had envisioned, it was largely the same.
The timing of the arrival of the Ming army was perfect, and it can be said that the praying mantis was catching cicadas and yellow finches.
Liu Fangliang, Yuan Zongdi, Tian Jianxiu and other generals are all gearing up to do a big job.
Liu Fangliang even took the initiative to ask Wen Anzhi for his life to be the vanguard.
After listening to the advice of the generals, Wen Anzhi decided to wait and see.
At this time, the Qing army and the Western army were inseparable, and it was not appropriate for the Ming army to kill rashly.
Or wait until the victory or defeat of the two is about to be divided, and send troops to maximize the benefits.
The generals respected Wen Anzhi very much, although they were a little impatient, they still suppressed it for the time being.
Anyway, so many days have passed, and it's not bad for a few days.
......
......
Zhang Dingguo has already killed red eyes.
The Qing soldiers in front of him changed one stubble after another, and Zhang Dingguo still kept waving his saber.
Each knife can kill a person, he vented frantically, and the fire burning in his chest was never extinguished.
But this did not affect the whole situation.
Gradually, the Qing army gained the upper hand.
The formation of the Western Army was repeatedly compressed, and the more it was squeezed, the more flattened it became, and finally it became the shape of a flat pole.
Hong Chengchou was very good at using troops, and unknowingly let the Qing army take the initiative.
With such a loyal servant here, Bolo was very relieved.
He watched all this quietly, waiting for the Qing warriors to strangle all the remnants of these Western thieves.
There is no doubt that this is a grappling, and the grappling is bloody.
There were severed limbs and stumps everywhere, and corpses were piled up on the ground.
The soldiers of the Qing army and the soldiers of the Western army fought against each other, you pick out my intestines, and I will poke your waist socket through the cold.
The scene was very tragic.
However, most of the losses of the Qing army were green battalion soldiers, and the real elite losses of the Eight Banners were not large.
The losses of the Western Army are all elites, and many of them are Zhang Dingguo's personal soldiers.
Under the leadership of Hong Chengchou, the Qing army was pushing the soldiers of the Western Army into a desperate situation step by step.
Although the soldiers of the Western Army knew this very well, they did not have a good way, so they could only grit their teeth and hold on. It is a moment to be able to hold on for a moment, and to be able to live for a breath is a breath.
Feelings of hopelessness build up slowly.
Gradually, the soldiers of the Western Army felt as if a boulder was pressing on their chests, making people breathless.
"Look, look! There's cavalry over there! ”
Just when almost everyone was about to give up, a Western soldier suddenly shouted excitedly.
Everyone looked in the direction he pointed, only to see the yellow dust rolling up, and the overwhelming cavalry charged.
Everyone was stunned.
At this point in time, so many cavalry charged, did it really fall from the sky?
It's impossible.
Zhang Dingguo was also stunned.
He had already prepared for the worst when he saw that the general situation was gone, and who expected that so many cavalry would suddenly be killed.
Look at the banners of these cavalry should be the Ming army, why did the Ming army suddenly come to Chengdu? Do they want to take advantage of the opportunity to get a piece of the pie?
Of course, Zhang Dingguo was more surprised at this moment.
Because the sudden attack of the Ming army can break the current stalemate and allow the soldiers of the Western army to breathe.
As for the Qing army, I am afraid that they are the most unwilling to see this scene happen.
Bolo saw the Ming cavalry galloping towards him, and his whole face turned green.
"Mr. Hong, how should this be?"
Bolo instinctively turned to Hong Chengchou to ask for advice, but Hong Chengchou coughed and said: "Don't panic, the Ming army is not to be afraid." As long as we stand firm, they can't help it. ”
Of course, Hong Chengchou's impression of the Ming army did not stay in the earlier days, otherwise he would not have actively learned the tactics of shelling up the city.
He said this purely to reassure Bolo.
After all, the general is the soul of an army.
If Bolo, the commander-in-chief, panicked, the morale of the Qing army might be in chaos, and the battle that could have been won might also be lost.
So everyone can panic, but Bolo can't panic. Hong Chengchou also broke his heart in order to stabilize Bolo.
As for Hong Chengchou's heart, of course, he was a little flustered.
With such a tiger and tiger cavalry charging forward, it would be very good that Hong Chengchou could not be frightened and his legs trembled.
Of course, there is a definite need to do it.
It's just that now the Qing soldiers are mixed in with the Western army, and it is quite difficult to assemble them.
"Woo woo, woo woo, woo woo..."
The low conch horn sounded, and the Qing soldiers were all stunned when they heard the horn, and then put aside the fighting Western soldiers and took the initiative to get together.
They formed formation in a very short time, and then prepared for the charge of the Ming cavalry.
As for Zhang Dingguo, he also ordered his soldiers to move away from their positions and give space to the Ming army.
Regardless of how it was before, at least this time the appearance of the Ming army helped the Western Army a lot.
Zhang Dingguo naturally would not drag the Ming army back at this time.
"Kill, kill, kill the Tartars with General Ben!"
Liu Fangliang took the lead and rushed to the forefront.
It turned out that he was one of the most capable generals in the formation when he broke into the army.
Wen'an's order for him to be a pioneer also makes sense.
The Ming army had not consumed much physical strength before, so this charge was full of momentum.
On the contrary, since the Qing army had just fought with the soldiers of the Western Army, most of the soldiers were now exhausted and gasping for breath.
Rao is that they have put up a formation, and they may not be able to stand firm.
This is a great hidden danger, if the Ming army charges more resolutely, maybe the entire Qing army will be scattered.
Of course, Hong Chengchou understood this, so he ordered the military team to stand behind these formed soldiers, and if they found someone trying to escape, they would be killed on the spot.
The sound of horses' hooves was deafening, as if it were about to tear the earth apart.
One hundred steps, fifty steps, thirty steps.
The Ming army roared through the gap opened by the Western Army.
The entire cavalry rushed into the Qing army's formation, and the Qing soldiers who were standing at the front were knocked away on the spot.
The soldiers of the Qing army had a firm foothold, and they could not stop the Ming army that had already gained momentum.
The cavalry of the Ming army slashed left and right, harvesting their lives at will.
The most terrifying thing is that they also threw the 10,000 enemies they carried into the Qing army from time to time.
In order to defend the Qing army against cavalry charges, the soldiers stood close to each other.
After the explosion of 10,000 enemies, even dozens of people were killed.
The Qing army obviously saw this kind of thing for the first time, and they were so frightened that they were colorless, and they silently read something in their mouths.
Liu Fangliang seized the opportunity to expand his advantage and turned the Qing army's formation upside down.
Bolo saw all this in his eyes, and jumped straight to his feet in anger.
"Mr. Hong, this is simply not like words, it is too much."
Bolo commanded in a voice that was almost trembling: "Send someone to cut off this person's head quickly, at all costs." ”
