Chapter 234: The State Owns the Tiger Minister
The firearms in the trap were sharp, the hit rate was extremely high, and the Qing troops in the front row fell one after another. www.biquge.info The Qing army wanted to rush into the queue of the trapped regiment to fight, but when they rushed to the front of the battle, they found that there was an iron thistle in front of the formation, and they could not break through. Dozens of war horses recklessly rushed into the obstacle area formed by the thistles, and the hooves of the war horses were immediately stabbed by the spikes of the thistles on the ground. The horse neighed and fell to the ground, and was stabbed to death by more thistles.
If they can't rush up, the Qing army can only shoot arrows in front of the formation, but the hit rate of the trapped regiment is much higher than that of the Qing army, and the Qing army is obviously just sending them to death by shooting at each other like this.
The morale of the Qing army was on the verge of collapse. In such a one-sided battle, no matter how strong-willed an army is, it will not be able to hold on. The last belief that supported the Qing army was to go around to the Ming army's flank and break through, hoping to open a gap from the flank. The Qing cavalry in the front row turned their horses' heads sixty meters in front of the trap regiment, and while firing a round of arrows at the front, they rushed to the two flanks of the trapping regiment, hoping to crush this terrifyingly strong Ming army from the weak flank.
The Qing army was like a river separated by boulders, and went around the sides of the trapped group.
However, what awaited them on both sides was not the weak flanks that would collapse in one rush, but five hundred long-waiting rifles. Several platoon commanders gave the order in a loud voice, and seventy rifles on each side fired diagonally at the rushing cavalry in a volley. Before the hundred cavalrymen who rushed to the sides could react, they were beaten with blood by one hundred and forty rifles, and they were killed on their horses.
The trapping regiments lined up in a phalanx have no flanks and rear, no weak points.
The Qing army collapsed.
No matter how the Jiala Zhangjing in the back row roared, no one in the Qing army dared to rush to the muzzle of the trapped regiment again. The cavalry in the front row fled in a panic to both sides, hoping to escape with their lives. The cavalry in the back was suddenly given to the front row, and immediately panicked, and also fled to the sides. The cavalry at the rear, who simply turned their horses and fled.
Seconds after the flank soldiers fired a volley, the Tartars had completely collapsed and were no longer in the army.
Li Zhi did not let go of these fleeing Tartars, ordered the soldiers to continue shooting, and fired three more rounds at the fleeing Tartars. Another group of people flipped on their horses, and more than a hundred Tartar soldiers were shot on their horses. The still alive Tartars threw away their armor and flags and ceremonial guards, and only galloped with their heads shut.
Half a minute later, the original arrogant "Aliha Chaoha Battalion" horse army no longer existed, and only the wolf-rushing Qing army was left on the plain. Before the trap, the flag of the Qing army was thrown to the ground, and the corpses of Qing soldiers were everywhere. The horses of the Qing army, which had lost their masters, either stood restlessly on the battlefield, or fled with all their hooves and fled away from the battlefield.
Three hundred soldiers of the trapped regiment scattered in all directions, chasing the aimless Qing war horses, hoping to capture a few more. After capturing the war horses, the soldiers hurriedly sent the wounded soldiers of the trapped regiment back to the camp on their horses, so that the military doctor could treat the wounded. Other soldiers searched for wounded Qing soldiers on the battlefield, and cut off the heads of the dead Qing soldiers and stripped them of their armor.
It took half an hour to finish cutting the head. They put their heads, armor, banners of the Qing army, and live mouths of the Qing army on the captured horses, and returned triumphantly towards the camp.
In this battle, twenty-one people of the trapped regiment were hit by the bow and arrow of the Tartars, of whom seven were lightly wounded, ten were seriously wounded, and four were killed. The Qing army, on the other hand, was killed by the trapping regiment, 404 people were killed, and 41 were wounded and captured. Of course, there were also some lightly wounded Tartars who escaped without being captured by the trapping regiment.
Halfway through the triumphant procession, he suddenly saw smoke and dust billowing in front of him, and a large force of Ming troops rushing towards his side. Looking at the formation, at least 10,000 people came to cover and kill.
The Ming army drove to the trapping regiment, and when they saw the trapped regiment returning with a full load, they stopped in surprise. In the middle of the ring, the ranks of the Ming army separated, and Lu Xiang wore armor and rode his Wuming Ji, leading Chen An, Yang Guozhu and Wang Pu to come in a row.
Li Zhi hurriedly went up to greet him.
As soon as he saw Li Zhi, Lu Xiangsheng blamed: "Why did General Longhu come out to attack Dongnu by himself?" Let my army catch up for a while! ”
Seeing Li Zhi, the two commanders also frowned slightly, as if they were blaming Li Zhi for his self-assertion and making them have to support.
Li Zhi smiled and arched his hand and said, "A small group of Qing troops, don't work hard to do it!" The last general has already defeated him, captured forty-one people alive, and beheaded four hundred and four levels! ”
Lu Xiangsheng was stunned and didn't react at once. After being silent for a while, he asked, "You have a thousand men and horses coming out, and you have already defeated the Qing army in this moment?" Beheading four hundred? ”
The two general soldiers in the back also looked at each other, looking incredulous.
Li Zhi said with a smile: "If you bring too many troops out, the Qing soldiers will escape, and it is just right for a thousand men to kill these Eastern Slaves!" Li Zhi pointed back and said loudly: "If the governor doesn't believe it, go to the front to see my catch!" ”
Seeing Li Zhi's words, Lu Xiangsheng and several general soldiers looked at each other a few times, and then went to test the truth of Li Zhi's words. Lu Xiangsheng was not polite, shouted "driving", and rode a big horse to Li Zhi's formation to check Li Zhi's gains.
Seeing the more than 400 Tartar heads, blood-stained armor, and moaning Tartar wounded soldiers, Lu Xiangsheng was stunned for a moment.
Yang Guozhu and several people followed, and when they saw Li Zhi's results, they were stunned one by one. The Tartars are very powerful, and if the Ming army can capture a few heads on weekdays, the governor and governor will write a pen and report it to the heavens. Li Zhi killed more than sixty Tartar scouts a few days ago, which had already surprised the generals. Now that more than 400 have been captured in an easy battle, how can it not make people's hearts beat?
Yang Guozhu looked at the heads, and then at Li Zhi, with a look of disbelief.
Wang Pu, the commander of Datong, whipped in the air with a horse whip and said loudly: "Governor, great victory, great victory!" If this good news goes up, the Son of Heaven will be rewarded! ”
Lu Xiangsheng looked at those Tartar heads, and suddenly became stupid, and muttered: "The state has a tiger minister, and the blessing of the society!" ”
The veteran Yang Guozhu finally came back to his senses, walked towards Li Zhi in surprise, took his hand and asked non-stop, wondering how he intercepted and killed so many Qing troops. Li Zhi was vague and perfunctory one by one.
Everyone was excited for a while, and then led the army to return with Li Zhi. Lu Xiangsheng gave Li Zhi special courtesy, and rode his beloved horse and Li Zhi side by side.
After walking for more than ten miles, Lu Xiangsheng looked at Li Zhi and said, "General Longhu has won more than 400 heads this time and captured 41 Dongnu alive, which is a great achievement. Can you give some of the profits to other generals to encourage them to kill slaves? ”
As soon as Li Zhi heard this, he secretly said that this Lu Xiangsheng is here again.
In the Ruzhou War in the eighth year of Chongzhen, Li Zhi captured and beheaded 6,500 thieves, and was finally assigned to the generals by Lu Xiangsheng, leaving only 1,000 for Li Zhi.
However, today is not as good as at the beginning, and now Li Zhi is already a famous warrior with more than 10,000 warriors, and his strength is far from being comparable to the original defense and ethics. Now even the Son of Heaven knows Li Zhi's good fighting, and Li Zhi, a civil official such as the governor and governor, is not afraid at all.
"Junmen, these captures are all the results of the bloody battles of the soldiers of the last general, if the profits are given to the army, I am afraid that it will chill the brave fighting heart of the soldiers under the tent!"
Lu Xiangsheng said kindly: "General Dragon and Tiger will divide the profit a little bit to boost morale!" ”
Li Zhi shook his head and said, "I can't tell it!" ”
Lu Xiangsheng was a little displeased and stopped talking. At this time, the military attaches of the Ming Dynasty had become warlords, and the control of the governor and governor had greatly decreased, and Lu Xiangsheng was no longer the prime minister who suppressed thieves as he did in the eighth year of Chongzhen. Now Lu Xiangsheng's moderation of the armies can only be motivated by loyalty and righteousness.
Li Zhi was reluctant to divide the first rank to motivate other generals, and Lu Xiangsheng had no choice.
Seeing Lu Xiangsheng's disappointed appearance, Li Zhi thought for a while and said, "That's it! The two generals of the military gate and Yang Zongbing and Wang Zongbing led the crowd to help me, which is also a sentiment, and the last general is willing to divide the 30 levels of the head, to the military gate general Chen An 10 levels, and to the two general soldiers 10 levels each. ”
Lu Xiangsheng took a breath, and after a long time, he said: "General Long Hu knows things, it is really a blessing for the three armies!" (To be continued.) )
