Chapter 117: Breaking the City
After many battles side by side, there are already more than 400 soldiers in the "Red Banner Army" who can be trusted.
Even if the friendly troops are fleeing from the road, such as Hanzi, Yuan Siming, Yang Hanwei, Yang Danian, Huang Sifang, Liu Fenyong, Sang Yu, Pei Daneng and other heroes will definitely accompany Huang Han to fight for his life.
The final outcome must have been extremely miserable, the loyal and fearless warrior fell into the sand, and the wall-to-wall grass that turned around and ran when he saw that the situation was not good survived.
This is the root cause of the Ming army's weaker and weaker battles, the elites die in one defeat after another, and the slippery villains slip away, and the quality of such an army naturally deteriorates.
Wakdama waited for the Ming army to appear on the battlefield of his illusion, but who knew that the Ming army was still only fighting for the surrounding control area, but it only pushed the dividing line more than ten miles to the east, and did not enter the 20-mile range of Santun camp at all.
Wakda was really not interested in consuming too many armored people to fight with the Ming army for control areas, so he simply withdrew the outpost horses and only kept the thirty miles west of the Santun camp city to report endlessly.
At this time, he only thought that he could not lose the Santun camp city, and only thought that he could safely transport the looted materials back.
His limited strength should be used to ensure that the road from Santun Yingcheng to Longjing Pass is unblocked, and the lessons of the past must not be attacked by the elusive "Red Flag Army" again, otherwise he will not be able to escape the blame.
Due to the frequent activities of the Ming army, Wakda was worried that the "Red Banner Army" would repeat its old tricks.
Although the troops were insufficient, he still gritted his teeth and sent a high-grade Niu Lu and two Tartar hundred-man teams to garrison Pisces Village, and Wakda, who was not very well-stocked, had no intention of taking the initiative to attack the extremely active Ming cavalry.
In the early morning of 18 March, more than 4,000 Ming troops, who had become accustomed to getting up early to go to the armed march, still left the east gate of Zunhua and jogged eastward.
After a few days of training, the coordination of the men and horses of each battalion has really improved a lot, and the cavalry of the Ming army has already accepted their fate, very well-behaved, and in line with the attitude of the main general pointing where they will fight, they do not discuss when to move seriously.
When everyone thought that they should turn north, Huang Han issued an order, and the whole army increased its speed from jogging to trotting and continued to move forward.
After running for another twenty miles, Huang Han once again conveyed the order, and the whole army accelerated the attack operation, and the target was Luojiazhai thirty miles away.
At this time, unless it was a fool, everyone understood that this was not a drill but a real job, and they all felt the wonder of the main general's use of troops, and they were more confident, so more than 4,000 horsemen slaughtered to the east.
It is impossible not to meet the Houjin army on the road, but the Ming army is outnumbered, and the small raiding team of the Houjin army did not eat leopards and dared to attack such a large Ming cavalry group, and they all fled early.
The men and horses of the Ming army could not do one person and two horses, and the more than 700 knights of the "Red Banner Army" brought out by Huang Han were all double horses, and they did not hesitate to run in the front at this time.
The power of example is infinite, seeing that the "Red Flag Army" is moving forward bravely, the vast majority of the Ming army is not far behind, and they all show their best state to catch up.
Wu Zimian was finally impressed, he caught up with Ma Shilong and shouted: "Ma Jingluo, the future is terrifying!" Let's fall behind, look at the 'Red Flag Army', people are like dragons and horses, but this is not enough! ”
"Rao is so, so it can be seen that our army will win this battle. I am fortunate to have this good general! ”
The soldiers of the 'Red Banner Army' in the law enforcement team are still sparing no effort to propagandize, and they are shouting: "Brothers, hurry up and run forward!" If you arrive at a fast time, you will have fewer casualties, and the most important thing in the surprise attack battle is that you can't cover your ears quickly! ”
"Brothers, run quickly, and be caught off guard by the Jiannu and Tartars in Luojiazhai! Rush, rush, rush! ”
Wu Zimian, who was full of interest, tore away the male duck's throat and shouted: "Yansui men, Qin Di's sons, when will we fall behind?" Follow the official to catch up with the 'Red Flag Army' and kill the Tartars first! ”
Suddenly the shouts in the army were everywhere, without exception were words of mutual cheering, everyone knew that what was about to appear was a sabotage war, and there was no need for horse speed to attack the city, everyone spared no horsepower, and the cavalry speed was completely in a galloping state.
The Houjin army did not dare to attack the cavalry of the Ming army, which was outnumbered, and the "Red Banner Army" did not chase and kill the Houjin army that fled in the wilderness.
At about two o'clock in the afternoon, the "Red Flag Army" slaughtered under the west city of Luojiazhai.
Seeing the Ming army rushing, there were several Houjin troops who went out to rob along the way and fled to Luojiazhai, which was simply the front foot and back foot of the "Red Flag Army".
When Huang Han led his subordinates to the city, Luojiazhai had just closed the city gate, and many Houjin troops appeared at the head of the city, and they were preparing materials to defend the city.
This time it really achieved the effect of the surprise attack, because after learning that thousands of Ming troops were attacking, several waves of Jiannu sentinels rode their horses and rushed in the direction of Luojiazhai with the intention of informing the guards to prepare early.
It's a pity that the knights of the "Red Banner Army" are also one person and two horses all the way to the gallop, and their forward speed is almost the same as that of the Jiannu sentry horse.
Therefore, when they arrived at Luojiazhai, the defenders who were caught off guard panicked, and the master of Jiannu had not even had time to appear in the city.
The "Red Banner Army" came prepared, how to break the city had a plan, and the general flags were in place, and in a flash there was a rain of arrows, which was mixed with the crisp sound of birds.
When the "Red Banner Army" launched the attack, cavalry continued to arrive to join the battlefield to suppress the Jin army after the city head with cavalry, and suddenly, the Ming army attacking the city retreated like a tide.
Just when the Jin army behind the city was puzzled and confused, an earth-shattering explosion shook the mountains.
The west gate of Luojiazhai raised huge smoke and dust, the city gate hole was blown up, and the Houjin army on the city wall suffered many casualties, and those who were lucky not to die were also disgraced.
Ma Shilong and Wu Zimian, who were able to arrive, were so surprised that they couldn't close their mouths, Nima, the speed of this city was too fast, no wonder the "Red Flag Army" was so bullish.
They suddenly realized that great merit was within reach, and they shouted excitedly: "Sons, the opportunity to make a contribution has come, follow this official to rush!" ”
I am afraid that this big explosion can be heard within a radius of ten miles, and the Ming army that fell behind realized that the front was fighting, and everyone rode their horses and whipped up.
The Ming army, who had already arrived at Luojiazhai, saw the city gate building collapse and shouted: "Kill slaves and run ahead!" "One by one, they went on a rampage and killed them in the city.
Immediately after that, the Ming army shouted: "Brothers, hurry up, the city is broken!" I'm afraid I won't be able to get the decapitation if I'm late! ”
The Ming army, which was still behind, heard the news and ran even more desperately, for fear of losing the best opportunity to fight for military exploits at your fingertips.
The generals of the eighth battalion also galloped at full speed for more than half an hour, seeing that all the cavalry did not need to supervise the battle, everyone took the lead bravely, they realized that a great victory in this battle was inevitable, and everyone took the lead in the lead.
