66 Still open
The charge of the Hongtang Cavalry Division sounded the clarion call for a real decisive battle for the Hongtang army under Phoenix City.
Although according to Wu Jie's plan, there are still two armies of Hat Helmet Mountain and Liaoyang City to kill them, and there is such a decisive battle, but in many cases, this plan can never catch up with the changes, and all the plans cannot be exhausted.
When the opportunity arises, if you don't grasp it, you may lose such a great opportunity for your side, Wu Jie and the others saw that the camp of the Qing Dynasty began to be chaotic and turbulent, and he also took the opportunity to let the guards around him blow the trumpet.
Of course, with the 20,000 surviving troops of Hongtang's Chinese army at this moment, the sound of this charge horn is just a message to them, that is, if they continue to persist like this, the situation of this battle will change differently.
As for where this change came from, the officers and soldiers of the Hongtang Zhongjun who were in the midst of a fierce battle did not know, but they were convinced that Wu Jie, as the main general, would not deceive themselves and live up to their trust in them.
The battle situation, which was originally on the verge of collapse because of the sudden assault of the Qing cavalry, became stable because of the sudden sounding of the horn of the charge, and the Hongtang soldiers who had been fighting fiercely for several days squeezed the last bit of strength in their bodies and gritted their teeth to persevere.
Persistence finally paid off, although the fierce battle with the Qing army for several days, but the Hongtang soldiers never saw the hope of victory, although they did not know why they had to make a decisive posture at this moment, but under the control of the military discipline system, they did not care about the ground, even if the casualties were large, they did not give up resistance because their colleagues fell around one after another.
However, in just half a day after the horn of the charge sounded, the entire battle situation has changed dramatically, and the Qing army, which had always had the upper hand, now began to appear chaotic from their rear formation. Together, the soldiers who fought each other on the first front, under the elimination of each other's strengths, the Qing soldiers who were originally pressing step by step began to lose their previous fighting spirit and perseverance, and the swords they wielded were no longer decisive before, but gave the Hongtang soldiers who were already struggling to support a chance to breathe.
Even many Hongtang non-commissioned officers who were fighting on the front line shouted encouraging words to cheer up the soldiers, and took the lead in counterattacking back.
Hongtang's 7,000 cavalry army rushed in from behind, and its momentum was so menacing and swift that even if Dolgon arrived in advance with the command team of the Chinese army to the decisive battle of the Qing army, and quickly mobilized infantry to establish a defensive line, it did not bring much trouble to the 7,000 Hongtang cavalry, which had already spread out at a speed.
If the 5,000 Eight Banners cavalry in Dolgon's hands was still in his hands at that time, in the case of cavalry against cavalry, even if there was a gap in numbers, Dolgon was confident that he would be able to intercept the Hongtang cavalry.
It's just that there is no regret in the world to sell medicine, and sending cavalry in his hands at that time, even in the eyes of Dolgon, who was in trouble at this time, was not a wrong decision, if there was no cavalry to raid the position of the Ming army, at this time their Qing army had this advantage in the frontal battlefield, and they would not see the dawn of victory.
However, at this time, the best opponent against the Ming cavalry, the cavalry available in the hands of Dolgon, was already stuck in the front line of a sea of people, and it was impossible to retreat back without half an hour.
Naturally, it was impossible for the Hongtang cavalry to give the other party an hour to react, although Dolgon and other Chinese army banners reacted quickly and did not let the Hongtang cavalry give him a draw from the bottom of the kettle, but they recognized the location of Dolgon and other Chinese army banners, led the cavalry army behind them at full speed, and roared in.
The first wave of infantry soldiers who had just turned around to intercept the Hongtang cavalry fell down as if they had been cut wheat, and did not cause much trouble to the Hongtang cavalry until they penetrated into the enemy's inner circle of several hundred meters before they were gradually stopped by them.
At this time, the Hongtang cavalry was only a dozen zhang away from the Chinese army banners such as Dolgon.
"Your Highness, why don't you give up your royal banner and take it with you to guard it, and you can step back a little bit."
Where the Golden Dragon Banner of the Qing Dynasty was, a Han general suddenly stood up, but it was Chen Mingxia, the former general of the Ming Dynasty, who surrendered to the Qing Dynasty after being defeated and captured.
Chen Mingxia and his reputation are not good, but none of the characters who can fight in the Ming officialdom are good people, and now that they are descended to the Qing Dynasty, they naturally hope to be able to climb up.
As the so-called wealth and danger are sought, Chen Mingxia now suddenly proposes to take on a heavy responsibility, but it is also to show his loyalty to Dolgon.
"No!!"
Dolgon's eyes were full of fighting spirit, and although the situation was not friendly to him today, it only aroused greater determination and perseverance.
"Tie down Lone's royal flag, from now on, Lone will not take a step back!!"
Dolgon, dressed in military uniform, was heroic and cool, and his own aggressive momentum permeated, so that the civil and military generals who followed behind him, and even the henchmen of the personal guards, all puffed up their chests and expressed their hearts.
When Dolgon drew his long knife, stood on the front line of the battlefield, and began to fight with the warriors of the Han Dynasty in the Ming Dynasty with his own hands, the powerful motivation and excitement he brought to his command were all inspired, especially the Jurchen and Mongol warriors, who were eager to block the swords and spears for him.
At this time, Dolgon is the **** who fought on the battlefield after the age of fourteen and made great contributions to the rise of the Later Jin and the establishment of the Qing Dynasty, and the regent Prince Rui who can make the entire Qing Dynasty have to compromise!!
"A respectable opponent!!"
The Houjin King Banner gradually stood up and did not waver, so that Wu Jie, the Zhongjun of Hongtang, and they could see the face of the Prince Rui through the telescope. At this time, it was not the first time they had met each other, at that time in front of Shanhaiguan, Wu Jie had already met with this Prince Rui and fought countless times, but none of them allowed Wu Jie to observe at close range like today, the style of this Prince Regent of Rui who fought and sacrificed his life on the battlefield.
For this victory, Wu Jie and them put themselves to death and survived, just because Dolgon did they think, Wu Jie and they did not dare to put the Chinese army camp in danger, but Wu Jie did the opposite.
The Qing Dynasty went south to attack the capital of the Ming Dynasty, which means that it is impossible for the Qing people to give up this piece of fat to their mouths, and they will inevitably leave enough manpower in the pass to deal with the possible counterattack of the Ming people.
Based on this inevitable trend, Wu Jie and the others first garrisoned Liaoyang City, forcing the Qing people to divide their troops, or restraining the opponent's southward speed here; Second, to let the An Xianguo cavalry division not listen to the attack on the logistics supply line, so that its rear is not peaceful, then the Qing people will inevitably need to send heavy troops to consolidate the supply line; The third is to fight to the death on the front line of Phoenix City and Hat Helmet Mountain, blocking the main force of the Qing Dynasty here to facilitate the next action.
The cruel acts such as burning, killing, looting and other cruel acts carried out at the beginning forced the vast majority of the tribes in the Qing Kingdom to have to go north to take refuge in the even more difficult Siberia in order to survive, and wait until the situation stabilized before returning.
After many operations, according to Wu Jie's plan, Liaoyang Shang Kexi, the two general soldiers of Hat Helmet Mountain Gengkong, the cavalry division An Xianguo, and the Ningjin garrison that was transferred by them, formed a local situation in a short period of time, creating a final decisive battle, defeating the existing seven or eight out of ten troops of the Qing Kingdom in one fell swoop.
However, after a lot of hardships, the final situation is still a five-five situation, which is certainly related to Liaoyang Shang Kexi, Hat Helmet Mountain Geng Zhongming has not yet arrived, but it is undeniable that this also has a great relationship with the strong strength of the Qing people.
