Chapter 157: The Battle Is Successful
At that time, Gao Qiqian and Guan Ningbing finally arrived at the north bank of the Fangla River.
However, Guan Ning's soldiers did not cross the river, but set up camp next to the officers and soldiers of the Beijing camp, witnessing the decisive battle between Lu Xiangsheng's Tianxiong army and the Jiannu of Qingdu City.
However, Lu Xiangsheng still let Guan Ningbing participate in the siege of Qingdu City in the name of the governor.
However, Guan Ningbing did not immediately participate in the battle on the grounds that the officers and men were tired after several days of marching.
Lu Xiangsheng was naturally not easy to force, and only continued to command his Tianxiong army to fight a decisive battle with the Jiannu of Qingdu City.
In order to avoid the large losses of the Tianxiong army, Liu Yuliang influenced himself to pursue Jiannu next, and also let Guan Ningbing soldiers fight in the name of the superintendent.
Guan Ningbing still found the same excuse to delay.
Liu Yuliang couldn't do anything about it, so he just stayed in Lu Yuan's camp and scolded Guan Ningbing for not being a thing.
Lu Yuan asked to join the war again, but Liu Yuliang and Lu Xiangsheng continued to refuse.
Lu Xiangsheng even found Lu Yuan alone and said: "In this decisive battle, my Tianxiong army will be destroyed, and even the official will be shrouded in horse leather to repay Jun's grace!" However, the Ming Dynasty can no longer be without strong generals, Jingfang, you are good at governing the army, and now you have no intention of dying in battle with your own department, this time your department should be preserved, and there will be a balance between Jiannu and Liaodong in the future, and once the thieves continue to grow bigger in the future, the imperial court will need elite soldiers and strong generals to suppress! ”
"Thank you for the good intentions of the governors, but if the army does not fight, it cannot be a strong army, not because the last general is blindly strong, but because the general cannot shrink aside, otherwise it will become weak from strong to weak, and there will be no courage!"
Lu Yuan replied.
Lu Xiangsheng didn't speak, but rode his horse to the front line.
……
On Jiannu's side, Shang Kexi was not to be outdone, and a red-clothed cannon shell actually flew away a red-clothed cannon of the Tianxiong Army.
However, the rest of the cannons of the Tianxiong Army were still bombarding the walls of Qingdu City.
Lu Xiangsheng, the governor, has been sitting on the front line, which makes the Tianxiong army's will to fight particularly strong.
Rumble!
Rumble!
Rumble!
Because of the use of red-coated cannons in military warfare, the role of the city wall on both sides has not been so important, and it didn't take long for the red-coated cannons of the Tianxiong Army to collapse the gap in the city wall around the city wall of Qingdu City, just like the opening of many cities in the Ming Dynasty after Jiannu entered the customs.
Next.
Lu Yuan saw that the infantry of the Tianxiong Army began to charge, the shields were spliced together like tortoise shells covering the earth, and the silver blades flashed with cold light under the shields.
The killing sound was like thunder.
Arrows rain.
At this time, Yang Guozhu, Wang Pu, and Hu Dawei, the three major commanders under Lu Xiangsheng, each commanded their officers and soldiers to charge towards the gaps in the three city walls.
For a while, some Tianxiong officers and soldiers began to approach the collapsed wall.
At this time, the firearms of the Han Eight Banners under Shang Kexi's command had already lit the fire rope.
This kind of city defense battle was naturally the first to participate in the battle of the Han Eight Banners of Jiannu, after all, the Manchurian Jiannu and the Mongolian Jiannu were mainly cavalry.
What's more, the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty were originally cannon fodder for Manchurian Jiannu.
When these Han Eight Banner Jiannu lit the arquebus, the officers and soldiers of Tianxiong seemed to have expected that there would be firearms behind the wall, so the Tianxiong army directly launched the tiger squat cannon in their own camp.
With a bang, this kind of Ming version of the curved gun that could be fired directly in the camp, and the mighty cannonball directly disrupted the formation of the firearms behind the collapsed wall on the opposite side.
The officers and soldiers of the Han Eight Banners on the opposite side were suddenly in a hurry, and some firearms players couldn't help but shoot first.
The Tianxiong Army, on the other hand, had already placed their shields in front of them, and except for a few unfortunate ones who were shot and fell to the ground, most of them still had combat effectiveness.
Waiting for the first wave of these Han Eight Banner officers and soldiers to shoot in a hurry, the firearms of the Tianxiong Army began to shoot.
And on this day, the rest of the officers and soldiers of the Xiong Army also took advantage of this and immediately rushed over and immediately climbed the city wall.
"What a good veteran, he really has a lot of experience in siege, and he knows how to use the tiger squat cannon, but it's a pity that after this year, this Ming elite will disappear!"
Lu Yuan saw that these Tianxiong soldiers had no intention of fighting, and they cooperated very tacitly, and couldn't help but sigh secretly.
But at this time, these Jiannu of the Han Eight Banners were also very cunning, and let a group of Baoyi stand in front in advance, so the firearms of the Tianxiong Army started to shoot, and these Baoyi were killed and injured countless times.
Therefore, the Tianxiong army that climbed the city wall still suffered a lot of losses, but they finally climbed the city wall, and as soon as they rushed into the camp of these Han Eight Banner Jiannu, they fought with these Han Eight Banner Jiannu.
For a time, the two sides either exchanged firearms at each other above and below the city walls, or engaged in hand-to-hand combat between the collapsed walls.
Obviously, the officers and soldiers of the Tianxiong Army are more advantageous, after all, they are all veterans who have fought many times, and most of these Han Eight Banner Jiannu are angry coats.
But just when the officers and soldiers of the Tianxiong Army were fighting with these Han Eight Banner Jiannu, Feyata sent the Mongolian Jiannu Iron Cavalry to fight.
The Mongolian Jiannu was good at riding and shooting, and was especially good at shooting light arrows immediately, causing damage to the enemy with the rain of arrows in the sky.
At this time, when the Tianxiong officers and soldiers were fighting for the gap in the city wall, they encountered this rain of arrows.
And these Mongolian Jiannu didn't care about the Han Eight Banner Jiannu on their side, and directly diffused over, causing many Tianxiong officers and soldiers who had just crossed the wall to fall to the ground with arrows, including the Han Eight Banner Jiannu who were fighting with the Tianxiong officers and soldiers.
But these Tianxiong officers and soldiers did dare to fight, and continued to break through the city with their shields.
Although from time to time Tianxiong officers and soldiers fell, there were also Tianxiong officers and soldiers who rushed in and fought fiercely with the Mongol Jiannu.
At that moment, the gates of the city were suddenly opened.
Obviously, the officers and soldiers of Tianxiong who rushed in still had the upper hand and opened the city gates.
But at this time, they suddenly rushed out of thousands of Mongolian Jiannu iron horses, directly slashed several Tianxiong officers and soldiers who opened the city gate to the ground, and intended to rush to the two wings and annihilate the Tianxiong officers and soldiers who were climbing over the collapsed city wall on both sides.
Seeing this, Lu Xiangsheng immediately ordered Li Chongdao to take the Chinese army's 3,000 iron cavalry to meet the battle.
These 3,000 iron horsemen are the foundation for Lu Xiangsheng to dare to participate in the war several times, all of them are of the same clan and clan, and they are brave and brave.
Suddenly, Li Chongdao took the three thousand iron cavalry and pursued it in two groups towards the Mongolian Jiannu iron cavalry that rushed to the two wings.
For a time, the two iron horses fought together.
But not long after, Jiannu Gushan Ezhen Feiyata took a Manchurian iron horse, the number of which seemed to be no less than one Jiala, and killed directly towards the place where Lu Xiangsheng was.
And Lu Xiangsheng had no troops to adjust, so he had to prepare for battle with dozens of cavalry under his command, and personally pulled out his sword.
Feata smiled coldly, his purpose was naturally not to capture or kill Lu Xiangsheng alive, Lu Xiangsheng was a rare brave and good fighter in the Ming Dynasty, he naturally knew that it was not easy to capture or kill Lu Xiangsheng alive, he rushed over now, just to force other Tianxiong troops to come back, at least to disturb the hearts of Tianxiong officers and soldiers.
But fortunately, Lu Yuan rushed over in time with the mighty army at this time.
Seeing this, Feata directly evacuated and killed in the direction of Yang Guozhu.
"Governor, the last general requests assistance in the direction of General Yang's troops! At this time, Mr. Yang couldn't support it! This Manchurian iron horse will cause its troops to collapse! And then affect the morale of the whole army! ”
Lu Yuan said again at this time.
Lu Xiangsheng glanced at Lu Yuan again, and finally nodded: "Are you sure you can repel this Manchurian iron cavalry?" ”
Lu Yuan replied: "If not, what is the use of Lu Duchen keeping the army of the last general!" The last general is willing to leave a military order, and he will be able to help General Yang to attack Qingdu City first! ”
Lu Xiangsheng nodded and granted Lu Yuan's request.
