Chapter 876: Doomsday Liaoyang
In this dark night, in this pouring rain, at this point in the battle, in fact, the formations of both sides are chaotic, and it is basically a one-on-one personal fight. And in this chaotic cold weapon fighting battle, the role of formation and coordination has been greatly reduced. The two sides began to compete purely for personal courage and fighting spirit, and for weapons and equipment. In these aspects, the Tang Army did not fall behind at all, and even exceeded it.
It's just that after fighting for nearly half an hour, due to the desperate resistance of the Qing army, the losses of the Tang army were also very serious.
For these Tang troops who died in the battle and were injured, Monk An, whose face was as heavy as iron, although his heart was painful, he still gave a loud order, so that all the Tang troops continued to fight hard and not retreat.
When you meet on a narrow road, the brave wins!
These Tang soldiers, the lives of each of them, were originally used to fight for victory, and in the current battle of unsuccessful success, Monk An threw these elite troops who spent a lot of energy and money to cultivate on the gambling table without pity.
As long as he can win this crucial victory, even if he sacrifices all the Tang troops under his command, Monk An will never blink.
Liaoyang City, where the heavy rain is pouring, swords and swords are slashed, and the sound of killing is shaking the sky, this prosperous town of the Qing court, in this dark night, has completely become a human gladiatorial arena.
And Shang Zhixin, who led his 20,000 soldiers and horses, also fought hard to kill, was also deeply shocked by the strength of the Tang army beside him who fought desperately regardless of death.
For a while, he was even ashamed in his heart.
Thinking about it since he joined the army, although he is known as a brave general and has also made a name for himself in Liaodong, he has to admit that these Shang family troops of his own are far inferior to these Tang troops who are simply like killing machines, whether in terms of fighting will or martial arts proficiency, and even worlds apart.
Thinking again, in the past history, he still followed his father, rebelled from the Ming Dynasty, and went to the Qing court, and now he has to serve the Tang army, thinking that he is a plan to save his life, Shang Zhixin feels even more confused.
At the beginning, for Li Xiao, the Tang King who was not much different from his own age, at such a young age, he was promoted to the Prince of the Ming Dynasty and the world's soldiers and horses, although Shang Zhixin was very envious, but he was also unconvinced. And now, seeing the Tang army under Li Xiao, fighting so bravely, fighting so desperately, and following one after another, Shang Zhixin is deeply impressed by Li Xiao's mastery in his heart, and he is full of respect.
In this world, people really can't be compared.
Your Li Xiao's subordinates are so capable of fighting, so how can my Shang Zhixin lower his own reputation at this time!
After all, he is a new refuge, and if he doesn't fight hard, he is afraid that he will be despised in the Tang Army, which has many famous generals and strong strength, so on this rainy night, he must work harder to perform.
"Passing on the order of the son of this world, the officers and men of our army will quit their hard work, do not be afraid of sacrifice, and strive to move forward, and those who dare to retreat and hesitate will be killed!"
Shang Zhixin, whose shame was aroused, gave a sharp order, and then personally led a group of personal soldiers to attack and leave.
Seeing that the winner will not be afraid of death, Shang Zhixin's soldiers and horses, and everyone is clamoring, continue to fight forward.
The Tang army had already rushed to cover the kill, and the Qing army at the forefront screamed miserably, and the entire formation quickly began to be chaotic.
"Withdraw! Evacuate! ”
The Qing generals couldn't support it, so he shouted so loudly that he abandoned his subordinates and took the lead in running his horse and fled backwards.
Seeing that the commander fled, his subordinates of the Qing army suddenly had no desire to fight, and they all howled and fled backwards.
A large number of soldiers and horses of the Tang Army and Shang Army were unceremoniously pursued and killed in the back.
Unexpectedly, this Qing army general, who was full of panic in his heart, retreated not far behind, and a large group of Qing troops came to stop him, blocking the entire street and alley, and completely blocking their retreat.
The general of the Qing army, who led the crowd to flee, suddenly turned pale.
"Master Zhang Jing, what now?!" The soldier next to him asked hurriedly.
Qing Jiang was full of anger, he didn't have time to think about it, and said loudly hatefully: "Into his mother!" Our army is already exhausted, and if we turn back to fight against the Tang army, it is tantamount to death! Zilharang, this guy must invite credit, don't take our lives seriously, we can cherish ourselves. Hmph, I want to use our lives as cannon fodder, but I can't! The whole army obeyed my orders, and rushed straight on horseback, so that they could rush through them, and it was important to save their lives! ”
"Order!"
"Drive, drive! ......"The Qing general and his personal soldiers, without hesitation, slammed the horse's belly, and rushed straight to the front of the Qing army.
Seeing this group of deserters, under their own coercion, they dared not stop, but rushed straight to their own formation. The Qing troops who came to intercept were all shocked.
It seems that in the hearts of this rebel army, the Tang army that followed them was a more terrifying existence than themselves. That's why they ran away so recklessly, thinking of rushing away from themselves and running for their lives.
Hmph, if the minions want to rebel, then let them taste the whip of the master!
"Pass my military order, the whole army will attack, and kill this group of bastards who disobeyed orders and fled!" The Qing army general who intercepted frowned, his eyes almost spew fire, and he ordered loudly.
"Huh!"
A large number of Qing troops shouted and attacked and killed, and strangled with the Qing soldiers who wanted to escape.
A dog-eat-dog war was suddenly intractable.
Seeing the Qing army fighting with his own deserters, and Monk An, the commander of the Tang Army who led the army to cover up behind, unconsciously had a smile on his face.
"Very good, now that the Qing army has begun to eat dogs, let's let go of this rebel army first, divide the whole army into two parts, bypass the side streets and alleys, and surround and eliminate all the Qing troops!"
"Order!"
A large number of Tang troops immediately divided into two divisions, bypassing two alleys from both sides, and surrounded this Qing army of thousands of men in the middle of this main street.
At this point, here, the battle is going on in a chaotic and bizarre way.
The two Qing armies fought desperately, one wanted to flee for their lives, and the other wanted to intercept and kill these rebels who disobeyed their orders, and in their rear, the Tang army assault troops were attacking the rear of Zheng Longfang's troops, and Li Xiao's Tang army gave the Qing army that was huddled together, a ruthless back kill.
In the end, the deserters of the Qing army gradually collapsed, and their already low morale quickly collapsed under the all-out attack of the Qing army's interception troops.
The general who led the crowd to flee was stabbed through his throat by a sharp tiger spear.
The general fell silently from his horse, twitched like electricity, and then did not move.
The remaining more than 700 deserters abandoned their swords and fled in all directions screaming, but in this narrow and crowded environment, it was extremely difficult for them to escape, and they were quickly killed by the swarming Qing interception forces.
At this time, the Tang army, which was fiercely attacking behind the Qing army, also kept compressing the intercepted Qing army towards the middle of the street.
The Qing army, which eliminated the deserters, suffered heavy losses in personnel, but before they could take a breath, they found in an instant that they had fallen into a terrible situation of extreme danger and no escape.
That is, this Qing army has been surrounded by the Tang army from front to back, in this narrow street and alley, and it looks like it is about to be annihilated here.
Before the general could give the order to fight next, he suddenly heard a thunderous shout from behind the street, which suddenly exploded in his ears.
"Vulnatary general, you have no way to wait, you have become a turtle in the urn, if you don't surrender, when will you wait!"
The Tang army next to him was also greatly boosted, and everyone shouted in unison: "Surrender quickly!" Avoid death! ”
Seeing that the morale of the Tang army was like a rainbow, and seeing that his own chief general, Ni, was being sandwiched in the middle by a group of guards, it was obviously unpredictable that life and death were unpredictable, and the morale of the Qing army was greatly depressed, and the entire formation began to quickly appear chaotic.
Hearing the continuous shouting of the Tang army, the Qing general, whose wound was bleeding non-stop, endured the pain, pushed away the guards next to him, and shouted: "Sons! Ben will be fine, don't believe the lies of the Tang Army! Everyone, together with Ben, fight these damn Han dogs to the end! ”
Before he could finish his shout, there was a muffled pop, and a sharp spear shot deep into his right eye socket, straight into his brain, and the whole head of the spear was almost completely submerged.
"Master! ……”
In the mournful cries of the guards, the Qing general fell silently from the horse, and with the chaos of the horse's hooves, which had no time to dodge, the porphyry burst into the abdomen, and suddenly, he died too much to die.
The main general was dead, and the Qing army was in chaos.
After barely resisting for less than a quarter of an hour, the Qing army, which was leaderless and besieged on all sides, finally collapsed completely.
With no way to escape, they abandoned their swords one after another and fell to their knees and begged. These Qing soldiers who begged for mercy were like a world of difference compared to their original appearance.
Monk An did not give an order to stop the killing, but coldly looked at the red-eyed Tang army under his command, slashed and stabbed the spear, and slaughtered all the Qing troops of more than 2,000 people.
The reason why he refused to let these Qing soldiers live was that he hated them for doing a lot of evil in Liaoyang City, and he wanted to slaughter them to vent his anger. The second is that now that their own troops are insufficient, and the Qing army still has an advantage in strength, when the whole situation is not clear, accepting so many prisoners at once will only bring unnecessary trouble to oneself, and it is better to kill them all to save trouble.
After killing all the Qing army, leaving blood and countless corpses everywhere, Monk An took his Tang army and continued to fight elsewhere.
At this time, Monk An led his soldiers and horses, and after joining up with Liu Guoneng's troops, he went all the way to the southeast of Liaoyang City.
Because, Monk An has received the news that in the southeast square, there are a large number of Qing army white tooth soldiers, as if the Qing army commander Zilharang is located, and now they have fallen into the Tang army's encirclement and are dying.
Hearing this news, Monk An's eyes, like a tiger that had found an important prey, emitted a glittering light.
There is a saying that if the thief captures the king first, if the chief general of the Qing army can be successfully defeated, then the Qing army, which is still struggling to the death in the city, will inevitably have no will to fight, either surrender, or to quickly break through the siege and flee.
When Monk An led the crowd to the southeast square, the main general of the Qing army, Jierharang, led the only remaining more than 200 white swing tooth elite soldiers under his command to desperately resist wave after wave of Tang troops.
The white swing tooth soldiers are the elite of the elite of the Qing army, these guys with heavy armor and good weapons, the main general Jierharang is surrounded in the middle, and the white swing teeth soldiers on the periphery, armed with heavy weapons such as tiger swords and tiger guns, desperately attack and kill the Tang infantry who keep rushing. The white swing tooth soldiers in the inner perimeter vigorously throw throwing throwing weapons such as hammers, axes, and thistles bones. These elite white swing teeth soldiers of the Qing army threw them extremely accurately, and basically as soon as they threw them over, a Tang soldier screamed and fell to the ground. For a time, more than 200 white-toothed soldiers killed the surrounding Tang troops screaming again and again, and there were many casualties.
It's just that what shocked Zilharang and the 200 or so white-toothed soldiers was that even though the Tang army had left a circle of corpses along their own positions, there was still a steady stream of Tang infantry, shouting and rushing up, fighting to the death against the Qing army.
Seeing that these Tang troops were like crazy demons, desperately attacking without fear of life and death, the commander of the Qing army, Zilharang, was pale and sweaty.
He couldn't help but sigh in his heart, if all the Ming troops in this Ming Kingdom could fight for the country without fear of death like this Tang army, then the Qing Dynasty would dare to enter the customs and plunder, and it would only be extremely difficult to protect the borders.
Suddenly, Zilharang heard the footsteps of a large number of soldiers and the rustling of the armor leaves on his body from the northwest direction.
He looked at it, but his face was even more pale.
He saw that in the afterglow of the dark night, a young general dressed in luxurious steel armor was commanding the almost endless Tang army at a glance, and quickly killed in his direction in the form of encirclement.
And rushing to the front was the most elite heavy infantry of the Tang Army, who was the same as his own white tooth swinging soldiers, wearing three layers of heavy armor, only revealing two eyes, and holding tiger knives, tiger spears, long-handled knives, heavy military sickles and other heavy weapons - rampant general.
Armed to the teeth, like a group of mecha monsters, these soldiers, numbering at least a thousand people, roared and rushed towards the frightened group of white fang-swinging soldiers under the leadership of the young commander.
There was a muffled bang, and the rampant general quickly fought with the white fangs and slaughtered into a mess.
The most elite heavy infantry in the Tang army was rampant, and after entering the battle, the whole situation of the battle changed in an instant.
Dressed in heavy armor and armed with heavy weapons, the Tang army was rampant, and the Qing army on the opposite side was like two mecha monsters armed to the teeth, tearing each other ruthlessly, both wanting to kill each other.
It's just that the total soldiers of the Tang army here are four times the number of the Qing army's white swing tooth soldiers, so they quickly pressed those white swing teeth soldiers in an irregular circle in the middle, so that they had no possibility of escape.
In addition to the rampant general soldiers who attacked head-on, in the gaps of the battle, there were also those Tang Army pikemen armed with 4-meter stainless steel spears, who also continued to surround them, and they stabbed fiercely, so that the white swing teeth in the circle were unable to defend themselves, and they kept screaming and falling to the ground.
Under the fierce and ferocious attack of the Tang army, the white pendulum soldiers continued to shrink to the center like the ebb tide of the sea, and after only a quarter of an hour, more than half of the white pendulum soldiers had been killed and wounded.
Seeing the white tooth soldiers around him screaming and dying, the commander of the Qing army, Zilharang, turned pale and trembled with fear.
Finished!
It seems that he will die in this Liaoyang city today!
