Chapter Twenty-Six: The Victorious Division
、、、、、、、
In the midst of a roar, the Tartar soldiers around Lu Xiangsheng and these officers and soldiers immediately dispersed and retreated in all directions, and as soon as the Tartar soldiers who were still densely blocking these officers and soldiers retreated, the pressure of these Xuan soldiers instantly dissipated, and at the same time, they were also cheerful in front of them.
A large group of Xingtian Army members who continued to maintain the formation finally appeared in front of these officers and soldiers with a scarlet Xingtian Army banner in front of them.
The remaining hundreds of officers and soldiers were stunned for a moment, but soon they realized that they had finally been saved, and they all let out a cheer.
Many officers and men immediately lost their strength, one after another paralyzed, and now in the afternoon, they have lined up to meet the enemy since dawn, and have been fighting until now, it is really not easy to hold on to an empty stomach, and for most of the day, their nerves have been tense, and suddenly the Tartars retreated, so that their spirits relaxed at once, and almost all the officers and men collapsed in an instant, hunger and their injuries on their bodies, and they were beaten to the ground with exhaustion.
The three battalions of the Xingtian Army quickly surrounded the hundreds of remnants of the officers and soldiers in the middle, protected them, and a tall horse immediately came out of the ranks in front of this group of officers and soldiers, and on the horseback was also an unusually tall silver-armored general, who shouted loudly to this group of officers and soldiers: "Lu Xiangsheng, Lord Lu, can you care?" ”
The officers and soldiers all heard the roar of this general of the Xingtian Army clearly, and they didn't know if this general of the Xingtian Army would be unfavorable to Lu Xiangsheng, an adult who had killed rogues everywhere in the Central Plains, and they all became dumb for a while, and the joy of being rescued just now dissipated in an instant, and some of the generals struggled to stand up, gradually gathered in one place, and one by one clenched the weapons in their hands, and stared at the general of the Xingtian Army vigilantly.
The general of the Xingtian Army immediately understood their thoughts, and said with a smile: "In Xia Xiao Tianjian, it is too late to rescue Lord Lu, and I hope Lord Lu will come out and see him!" Xiao has no malice towards all the Ming heroes! ”
At this time, a bloodied man walked out of the team, cried and pounced in front of Xiao Tianjian's horse, knelt down and shouted: "It turned out that Xiao Dashuai came here in person!" Li Qi sees Xiao Dashuai! Save us, adults! ......" and began to cry.
Xiao Tianjian was shocked, of course he knew this Li Qi, Lu Xiangsheng was the one who was sent to deliver a letter to him in the jurisdiction of the Xingtian Army, this person was Lu Xiangsheng's most trusted servant, after listening to his words, Xiao Tianjian was surprised, and immediately turned over and dismounted and grabbed him and asked, "Where is Lord Lu?" What happened to him? ”
Li Qi cried loudly and replied: "Lord Lu is the first soldier today, he is seriously injured, when Xiao Dashuai appeared just now, Lord Lu fainted, our military medical officer has long been separated, and I hope that Dashuai will save us quickly!" ”
At this time, the officers and soldiers all knew that on this day, Master Lu, who had been taking the lead in leading them to fight to the death with the Tartar soldiers, was seriously injured and fainted, and they were all crying nervously for a while, and hundreds of officers and soldiers knelt down in unison, kowtowed to Xiao Tianjian and said, "Please ask Marshal Xiao to save Lord Lu!" ”
Xiao Tianjian heard that Lu Xiangsheng was not dead, so he calmed down a little, and immediately patted this Li Qi on the shoulder, turned his head and shouted, "Where is the medical officer!" Hurry up and treat Lord Lu! Hurry up and send Lord Lu over! Don't delay! ……”
Dolgon: That's so angry! He and Yue Tuo, Haoge and other main generals watched this Xingtian thief army enter the battlefield like a bamboo, and the soldiers under their command tried to stop them several times, but they were all defeated by this Xingtian army without exception, and they were stunned to see that the Xingtian army finally merged with Lu Xiangsheng's men and horses, and what made him even more angry was that there was another small group of officers and soldiers, taking advantage of the fact that they were focusing on Lu Xiangsheng and the Xingtian army, they actually broke out of the encirclement and crossed the Artemisia River by stepping on ice. All the way out of the battlefield and escaped without a trace.
This opportunity that they finally seized was declared to be a failure, so how could they, the main generals of the Qing army, be embarrassed!
Obviously, their forces have an absolute advantage, but they just can't gnaw at the Xingtian thief army on the battlefield, but instead send troops to block them, and they have been defeated repeatedly, and they have never been able to stop their advance, and they have not even succeeded in biting them.
A cavalry under his white flag actually suffered as many as four or five hundred casualties, of which more than two hundred were killed on the spot, although some of the wounded were rescued, but most of the wounded were wounded, in such a cold and snowy place, their medical level was very poor, even if they could save some in the end, the vast majority of the wounded would eventually lose their lives.
On the other hand, this Xingtian army of thieves has always marched forward in formation, and the hedgehogs have never dispersed, no matter how they attack, they can't bite off a bite of their flesh, and the losses are far less than their Qing soldiers, although they are still in the battlefield, but they still maintain the formation is not chaotic, just nailed to the battlefield as if they are demonstrating to their Qing army, and even began to rest on the battlefield in turn, and in their military formation, even a fire was raised, as if they were going to eat on the spot.
This kind of thing was something they hadn't even thought of before, how could anyone treat their Qing soldiers as a worthless enemy! But today, as if the sun had come out of the west, such a group of people appeared out of thin air, and they were not taken into account at all.
Dolgon and Yueto were both angry and blue-faced, and they had the intention to gamble and press the whole army to fight them to the death, but Dolgon and Yueto were not the kind of people who had no brains, and finally forced this idea down.
However, Abatai, who went out with the army, was furious and asked Dolgon to fight, and wanted to personally lead his troops to attack this Xingtian army and fight them to the death, but Dolgon did not agree in the end, so that Abatai was a little calm, and ordered to gather his troops and horses, and rest for a while to see the situation.
Dolgon and Yue Tuo discussed, they were not without worry, after all, in the south of here, there were more than 30,000 Ming Guan Ning troops, after all, the Guan Ning army still had considerable combat effectiveness, if the battle situation here and now reached them, once Gao Qiqian, the eunuch, understood and led the army to rush here, their Qing army would have to deal with more pressure, so at this time they did not dare to put all their strength into the siege of the Xingtian army, and they must leave a certain number of troops, to make sure they have a working troop on hand.
Therefore, after the generals of the Qing army discussed for a while, Dolgon made up his mind, that is, to keep an eye on this group of Xingtian Army, to see how they should act next, with the current strength of the Xingtian Army, it is impossible for them to stay here and fight to the death with their Qing army, after they converge with Lu Xiangsheng's remnants, they will definitely evacuate here, and when the time comes, they will lead the army to follow them, and see the opportunity to avenge this arrow, after all, the Xingtian Army showed them a new tactic just now, At the same time, the sharpness of the firearms they used was something they had never experienced before, and suddenly they were a little scared and didn't know how to deal with this tactic, so for the sake of safety, they didn't want to really press all the old books up.
And this time they were ordered by Huang Taiji to enter the customs, the main purpose is to loot the Ming Dynasty, to put it bluntly, they came to the Ming Dynasty to fight the autumn wind to grab food, money, and people, not to destroy the Ming Dynasty, and their forces did not allow them to fight here like this, not to mention that once they are fighting here with the strength of the white flag and the inlaid white flag, they will lose the right to speak in their Qing Kingdom in the future, which is not good for their brothers in the future, and the Huang Taiji will take this opportunity to cut off their position as the flag master. Then there will never be a day for their brothers to turn over.
So Dolgon is not stupid, he will not fight with the Xingtian Army, even if he suffers a loss at this time, he can only temporarily endure and find a chance to get it back, so he and Yue Tuo both advocate taking a break for the time being, and then decide according to the situation.
Although Abatai is like thunder, but his status as a Baylor is far inferior to Dolgon or even Hauge, he can only obey orders under them, don't look at Dolgon and Hauge as his younger brothers and even nephews, but most of them have already entered the prince, but he is only a Belle, this level is much worse, so Dorgon does not allow him to attack, he can only stare like thunder, so he watched from afar as this group of thieves resting on the battlefield.
In fact, Xiao Tianjian was not deliberately angry with Dolgon and Yue Tuo, but after he joined Lu Xiangsheng's remnants, almost all of these officers and soldiers were injured, and they were exhausted, even Lu Xiangsheng himself was seriously injured and unconscious, he couldn't retreat if he wanted to now, he had to let these officers and soldiers rest first, temporarily treat and bandage their injuries, and let them eat something to recover their strength, otherwise, it would be impossible for him to let people carry them one by one and carry these officers and soldiers back.
So in desperation, he could only choose to set up a field formation on the battlefield with three battalions on the spot, burn some boiling water on the spot, scrub the wounds of these officers and soldiers, apply medicine and bandage them, and give them something to eat to restore some of their physical strength, and then take them away from here.
These remnants of the soldiers under the command of Lu Xiangsheng have completely trusted these generals of the Xingtian Army at this time, for these men who they once regarded as thieves, these officers and soldiers are all very grateful, hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses in the Ming Dynasty, but none of them came to rescue them, but this Xingtian Army has put down the old grudges with the government and the court, and went north, and it was their commander Xiao Tianjian who personally led them to rush here and risk death to rescue them.
They also saw the military appearance of the Xingtian Army at this time, and the generals of the Xingtian Army were also full of wind and frost, and after this battle, they all had a smoky and burning face (the fire gun fired, it is strange if it is not smoked!). Since they entered the battlefield, they must have experienced several battles to the death, before they converged with them, in some of the vehicles of the Xingtian Army, there have been many corpses of the soldiers of the Xingtian Army, and there are also many wounded soldiers of the Xingtian Army, indicating that they have also paid a lot of price on the way to kill, so in their eyes, gratitude in their hearts, many of these officers and soldiers cried, knelt on the ground and thanked Xiao Tianjian and other soldiers and generals of the Xingtian Army.
