Chapter Ninety-Eight: Crossing the River
It's going to die!!
Zhu Ketu's mind was suddenly blank, looking at the big blood mouth that cracked in his chest, and the blood gushing out, the feeling of panic suddenly hit him with severe pain, and the strength up and down his body seemed to have completely disappeared at this moment, and he couldn't even hold the knife in his hand and fell to the ground.
Cao Bianjiao didn't care whether it was a Tartar soldier or a Tartar officer who died under the knife, anyway, a dead Tartar was a good Tartar.
He was already red-eyed, and another Tartar rushed forward, let go of the stabbing carbine, and then swung his knife and slashed, and the man moved his head, and died without even screaming!
Another spear was pulled, and the broadsword swung forward, and another head fell to the ground. After that, he reversed his spear and threw it at the white-armored soldiers who were rushing in front of him. The spear pierced the latter's chest like an arrow, and the triple armor was poked like papier-mâché, pinning the man to the ground.
For Cao Bianjiao, who is full of bravery, it is not too easy to kill a few Tartar soldiers.
At the beginning of the Songjin War, he led the army to the imperial camp of Huang Taiji, and traveled in the Tartar group, as if entering a no-man's land, I don't know how many people were killed. Dolji, the ministers of the interior, Buyan and Tazhan led their troops to battle one after another, but they were all defeated; Huang Taiji's close guards have all gone into battle, but they still can't stop Cao Bianjiao.
Seeing that they could not win in combat, Turg and his younger brother Ilden, the ministers of the interior, Sihan, and Suppilon saw that they could not win in combat, so they occupied the gate of the imperial camp in a hurry and desperately released arrows, and wounded the Jiao. It made it hopeless for Cao Bianjiao to break into the inner camp, so he had to lead the army back to Songshan City.
Abandoning the ability to command the military formation, it goes without saying, only talking about bravery, Cao Bianjiao is definitely the first-class person in the world.
"Kill, kill, kill......" The blood is soaked in the battle armor, the war horse is dyed, and Cao Bianjiao's bravery is vividly played in this close hand-to-hand combat.
And with other soldiers and horses as the core, the Four Routes Ming Army and the Eight Banners soldiers were entangled to death.
The galloping Eight Banners Horse Army was very invincible, and Bolo personally led the charge, and several times knocked the Ming army in front of him collapsed, but every time there would be a new army in the oblique out, so that they could not achieve all the results.
And the Ming army was also very tenacious, after one group of soldiers and horses was defeated and retreated, another group of soldiers and horses pounced again. They had a large number of troops, and they pounced one by one, even if they used refueling tactics, they could fully dull the Qing army's front.
"After a slight order, Sect Chief Rong immediately led the troops forward!" Zuo Guangxian was the first to obey the order, and with a shout, he led his soldiers to rush towards the battle array.
Using the elite soldiers of each army as the bricks and stones of the wall, and using the remaining weak soldiers as soil, is to take human life seriously, and stumble the soldiers of the Qing army until Zheng Zhilong comes with good news.
The Six-Way Ming Army, at this moment, only the royal courtiers have not yet entered the battle.
Hong Chengchou looked at the battlefield in front of him, and his brows were locked. Don't look at the large number of Ming troops, but everyone has their own thoughts, how many people are really willing to fight to the death in the Sixth Route Army? He didn't have a bottom in his heart.
The battle group in front seemed to be composed of countless Ming troops forming a solid defensive line and stopped the Qing army. But in Hong Chengchou's eyes, there is always a feeling of holding a knife with a cloth bag, and I don't know when the cloth bag has been pierced.
The shadow left by the Battle of Songjin was too big, and he couldn't forget the big one.
"Look at the whole Rong, the west, the west ......"
Wang Tingchen also had the same worry as Hong Chengchou in his heart, but he had lost too many battles over the years, and the people who fought were not confident.
And if the battle progresses to the worst, his part of the people will be for the queen of the army.
Wang Tingchen really didn't want to see that scene.
His face was not gloomy, but his heart could not be settled in any way. The mistake is not to show certainty in front of the soldiers, he now wants to ask someone to erect a high platform to make him look better and clearer.
At this time, he heard a shout, and looked west, "Wolf smoke!" ”
A surprise instantly hit my heart, and a flower bloomed on my face unconsciously, "Jingluo, wolf smoke, it's wolf smoke, Zheng Zhilong has crossed the river." ”
This is the signal that Zheng Zhilong agreed with them, once the canal is crossed, three waves of wolf smoke will immediately rise.
The worry in Hong Chengchou's heart instantly disappeared like foam, and only endless comfort was left in his body. "Tell the whole army that General Zheng has led a large army across the canal, and the retreat of the Tartars has been cut off by us. In this battle, our army will win—"
"Our army will win, our army will win—"
Not only was there thunder of joy in the royal courtiers' army, but even the ranks of the five general officers who had already entered the battle were also excited.
"Zheng's army has crossed the canal, the back road of the Tartars has been intercepted, and our army will win——"
The morale of the Ming army rose rapidly with the naked eye.
The opposite is the morale of the Qing army. Many of them can understand Chinese, how can they not be worried at this time? Looking back at the west, three wolf smoke rushed straight into the sky, and the eyes were very spicy.
". Ben Beizi put thousands of Eight Banner armor soldiers behind him, and Nikan cut off my back road. When I gave the order, Nikan's words disturbed the hearts of our army, and the soldiers should not be fooled. ”
"Those who dare to spread whispers in the army will be punished for the crime of disturbing the hearts of our army, and there will be no forgiveness for killing."
Bolo quickly ordered.
The disposition was very decisive, but the three wolf smoke in the west were hanging in the sky, and he didn't have a score in his heart. You can only choose a goshha and quickly go to the rear to check the authenticity.
His top priority was to break the Ming army on the opposite side. Otherwise, even if Zheng Zhilong failed to cross the river, he would also be pressed to the bridgehead camp by the Ming army. At that time, the situation was just as bad.
……
"Kill the ......" Kenji Ono wielded a large sword almost the length of his body, and behind him was a team of five hundred people, all of whom had already crossed the canal.
The battle on the east embankment of the canal was very fierce, because on the west bank of the canal, as soon as the troops were dispatched, Zheng Zhilong opened five passages on the river three miles wide from north to south. Hurib was unable to defend himself at all, so the troops crossing the river at the southernmost two passages rushed up the embankment.
Lay straw mats in front of you, cover them with wooden planks at the back, and walk away. Is it a waste of time? It's a matter of blinking.
Bolo also called Hulib to use rockets, and the canal was only thirty zhang, not three hundred!
For Hurib, the most fortunate thing is that Zhao Bin has already brought his men to help. If so, he immediately taught Zhao Bin about defense, and he led the Eight Banners Infantry Armor to the river-crossing troops of Xiao Yuan's battalion.
The latter can be regarded as the elite soldiers of Xiao Yuan's battalion, but they were very unlucky to encounter the 500 infantry armor sent by Bolo, and they were attacked by the Tartars from the north and south, and the situation immediately deteriorated. Even with the help of grenades, they were no match for the Qing army's heavy bows and arrows.
But Hulib handed over the defense of the three passages to Zhao Bin, which was really not a smart choice. For they did not even have a bow or arrow except the sword and spear in their hand.
There was no need for Zheng Zhilong to order, Yuan Shizhong also knew that the opportunity to break the enemy had come. personally led the troops forward, and the three passages worked together, opening up the two passages of No. 1 and No. 2 in the north in one fell swoop. The standing team was the first to be spared by Zheng Zhilong, they were short and light, skilled in fiddling with muskets, and had a certain melee ability.
Of course, Kenji Ono was not afraid, and took the lead and led the team to the East Embankment. Although they are all five short in stature, and the armor they wear is very dramatic in the eyes of the Chinese, you can't underestimate the muskets they are carrying.
A deafening volley of muskets rang out, and rows of scorching fire flashed in front of the small three-column column, and thick smoke rose from it.
With the loud sound of the muskets, the two Tartars pointed at the muzzles were immediately knocked to the ground. Zhao Bin's rear team seemed to be finished all at once.
The effect of the shooting was obvious. Not to mention those who didn't even have a piece of cotton armor, even those two Tartars wearing iron armor, many of them also had clouds of blood mist coming out of their bodies, screaming and rolling to the ground.
After the projectile breaks the armor, it may not have much penetrating power, but it is also more destructive, and it can easily destroy all the flesh, bones, and even internal organs, plus the factor of lead poison, those who are not dead might as well simply die.
Of course, there are also some people wearing heavy armor, they have a layer of cotton armor and a layer of iron armor, which is difficult to penetrate. But with such a soldier, how many can Zhao Bin have?
Looking at the soldiers around him, he was even more chaotic, crying and shouting, and the screams became loud, and some people turned around and ran!
"Don't quit! The Retreater, Slash! Zhao Bin was dumbfounded, holding a waist knife in his hand, clicking, chopping off two small soldiers who ran to his side without opening their eyes, blood soared, splashing all over.
