Chapter 216: Rescue (2)
d Chang Shunhou's army came from Lingnan, and was often taken by Chang Shunhou to exterminate the bandits in the mountains, not like the general Ming army without any combat experience, and Chang Shunhou this person was quite brave, the so-called soldier was a bear, and the courage of Chang Shunhou led the Lingnan Army soldiers under his command, more than 26,000 Lingnan troops shouted to kill the sky, and followed Chang Shunhou to rush down the mountain like a tiger.
Although the Lingnan army was not as good as the Qing army's iron cavalry in a frontal hard battle, Chang Shunhou didn't believe it, it was only a short distance of three miles from the hillside, and he Chang Shunhou led nearly 30,000 troops without killing there.
Although the combat power of the Qing army's iron cavalry was much stronger than Chang Shunhou's Lingnan army, Chang Shunhou led the Lingnan army to rush to the hillside where Ji Feng and others were surrounded three miles away, and the Qing army's iron cavalry was really difficult to stop for a while, so they could only meet the battle and chase and kill in the back.
---The Qing army continued to shoot arrows at the Lingnan Army, and the soldiers of the Lingnan Army continued to fall to the ground with arrows.
In the face of the Qing army's iron cavalry and arrow rain, although the Lingnan army after Chang Shun suffered heavy casualties, they still rushed to the southeast regardless of their fate. Although the Qing army's iron cavalry rushed into the Lingnan army, the Lingnan army did not entangle with them at all, and at the cost of heavy casualties, they kept approaching the hillside where Ji Feng and the others were, and within a moment, they rushed to a distance of less than two miles from the hillside.
"It's not good, you can't let that Ming army converge with the Ming army on the hillside." Duoduo commanded the attack in the rear, and when he saw this scene of the Lingnan Army, his face immediately changed.
According to the Lingnan army, he will soon be able to join Ji Feng and others on the hillside, which will disrupt his plan, and he never imagined in advance that the Ming army would come to this hand.
In fact, how did Duoduo know that Chang Shunhou's heart was dripping blood at this time, according to his estimates, regardless of the impact just now, in just one mile, his Lingnan army suffered casualties of 3,000 subordinates under the impact of the Qing army's iron cavalry and the rain of arrows, and if he continued like this, he would lose at least nearly 10,000 Lingnan Army soldiers, and such casualties were extremely heavy!
It's just that Chang Shunhou has no chance to regret it, and he has no regrets, staying with Ying Longjun, he still has to face the charge of the Qing army's iron cavalry, and there will also be a lot of casualties. At this moment, it is useless to think too much, it is important to rush two miles away to join the besieged army.
"Kill the ---" Chang Shun cut off a Qing soldier with a knife again, and continued to attack the hillside without stopping.
"Stop them!" Duoduo blushed, he couldn't let this Ming army disrupt his plan, if they were allowed to join up with Ji Feng's army on the hillside, with the addition of this new force, he couldn't take advantage of the great opportunity of Ji Feng's remnants to quickly annihilate it.
Yes, Duoduo was originally trying to delay the speed of Yan Yingyuan's army, and at the same time concentrate the main forces, taking advantage of the exhaustion of the remnants on the hillside to quickly annihilate them, and then surround Yan Yingyuan's troops on the hillside and annihilate them, but now there is Chang Shunhou's Lingnan army, which does not care about the impact of casualties. Such a move by the Lingnan Army would disrupt his plan, so he would never tolerate it.
Immediately, Duoduo drew 30,000 from the army besieging the hillside, together with the 40,000 army that was intercepting the pursuit, with a strong force of 70,000 iron cavalry, there were still 23,000 Lingnan troops left at this time.
70,000 Qing army iron horses, Jin Ge iron horses, chasing back and forth, the rumbling sound of the horse's hooves and the earth-shattering shouts of killing covered everything, and the cold scimitar was cold and stunning in the wielding of the Qing soldiers!
Such momentum really made the faces of the soldiers of the Lingnan Army turn slightly pale, and the impact was slightly paused.
"! Damn it! Brothers, the way back is at an end, we can't just retreat, the hillside is in front of us, rush with me! Chang Shun then beheaded another Qing soldier and rushed to kill with a shout.
And a nest of bears, under the leadership of Chang Shunhou who is not afraid of death, the Lingnan Army once again resumed the momentum of impact and quickly rushed to kill!
In the rear, Yan Yingyuan led the soldiers of the Yinglong Army to attack and advance, without Chang Shunhou's army in the rear, the soldiers of the Yinglong Army formed a four-sided formation to attack, and the speed of the advance slowed down, and the back of the Lingnan Army could only be seen from a distance.
"My good man, Chang Shunhou, this uncle is too brave, admire, I have to admire!" Staring at Chang Shunhou leading the Lingnan Army to rush bravely under the siege of so many Qing troops, and it seemed that it was unstoppable to advance all the way, Feng Houdun had to sigh and admire at this time, at this time, he could be regarded as completely letting go of the mustard with Chang Shunhou.
The attack posture of Ying Long's weapons was destined to be impossible for them to be like the Lingnan army after Chang Shun, and Yan Yingyuan could only pray that the Lingnan army after Chang Shun would not be annihilated by the Qing army on the way, and that they could smoothly join up with Ji Feng's troops on the hillside.
When the Lingnan army attacked only one mile away from the hillside, the hillside was almost close in front of them, and they could clearly hear the shouts of killing on the hillside, and see the figures on it who were constantly fighting with the Qing army.
On the hillside, Ji Feng and the others also heard the sound of shouting and killing under the hillside.
"Order, all the soldiers will go down the mountain with me and join the reinforcements!" Ji Feng immediately ordered, and took the remaining nearly 5,000 Ying Long troops to take the lead in killing down the hillside.
"Rendezvous with reinforcements, kill!" Reinforcements were close at hand, and the originally exhausted soldiers' bodies invisibly gave birth to a surge of strength again, following Ji Feng and the soldiers of the Ying Long Army towards the bottom of the hill.
At this moment, there were less than 4,600 people left in the Ying Long army, and there were only about 23,000 people left in the ordinary Ming army.
In this battle, together with the more than 10,000 disabled soldiers who followed, more than 80,000 people, in just half a day, there were only more than 27,000 people left, and the casualties were extremely heavy, especially the more than 10,000 disabled soldiers, who had already been slaughtered, and were slaughtered with almost no resistance, which was extremely tragic!
Ji Feng led more than 27,000 remnants of the army to attack the slope of the mountain, occupying the downward trend, which was difficult for the Qing army to stop.
As the two sides approached each other, only a mile away, the two sides approached in a moment.
Finally, the two armies came together.
"Commander Ji!" The leather armor on Ji Feng's body was the same as that on Yan Yingyuan's body, and Chang Shun saw Ji Feng, the commander of the First Army of Yinglong Army, at a glance.
"You are ---" Ji Feng was covered in blood, although he saw that Chang Shunhou was a general soldier, but he didn't know him.
"I'm Chang Shunhou, the commander-in-chief of the Lingnan Army, Commander Ji, I'll talk about it later, it's better to meet with Commander Yan and the others first.
Chang Shunhou is also covered in blood, and both of them have respect for each other and have a sense of familiarity at first sight, but now they are surrounded by hundreds of thousands of Qing troops, but it is not suitable to waste time here.
Ji Feng nodded, and approached the Ying Long army that led the remaining army towards Yan Yingyuan with Chang Shunhou.
At this time, Yan Yingyuan's Fourth Army of Yinglong Army also marched for about two miles, and the two sides were only one and a half miles apart.
"Commander of the First Army!" Yan Yingyuan said to Ji Feng.
"Commander Yan of the Fourth Army!" Ji Feng also said to Yan Yingyuan.
The two looked at each other and smiled, they were both commanders of the Ying Long Army, and they felt much more cordial, especially Ji Feng thought that he would die in battle, but he didn't expect reinforcements to arrive, as long as they returned to Xue City, they would be able to escape and ascend to heaven.
"Ying Longjun's rear team will be transferred to the front team, and return to Xue City!"
Xue Cheng is three miles away, and if they want to successfully enter Xue City, they still have a big battle.
Moreover, whether it was Ji Feng or Yan Yingyuan and others, what they didn't expect was that the Tuoyue army, which was located south of Xuecheng, could not harass the reinforcements of Xuzhou because it was separated by the Shishui River, so they led the army to Xuecheng first.
Although there were 2,000 Yinglong troops and 3,000 Lingnan troops guarding Xuecheng, the south gate had been blown up.
Tuo Yue led the army to suddenly appear in the south of Xue City, not only the defenders on the city tower were surprised, Tuo Yue was also surprised, and he didn't expect Xue Cheng to be taken back by the Ming army.
However, Tuo Yue stared at the blown up Xue Cheng's south gate opening there, and immediately smiled.
"Kill ---" The army defending the city is impossible to block the south gate so quickly, Tuoyue's iron cavalry army is unstoppable from the south gate and rushes into Xue City, once Xue City is reoccupied by Tuoyue, whether it is Ji Feng or Yan Yingyuan and others, they can only be turtles in the urn.
The tragic battle was not over, as Tuoyue's army attacked the south gate of Xue City, intending to retake Xue City, beyond the north gate, the situation faced by Yan Yingyuan and Ji Feng and others would be even more critical.
