Chapter 20: The Jedi
Xiao Tianjian nodded with satisfaction, waved his hand Situ Liang immediately gave a loud order, waved the horse lance in his hand, and once again led the cavalry to attack, and chased the tail towards this group of defeated Tartar cavalry, and at the same time, a group of stragglers in the army also immediately left the battle and rushed into the battlefield, and began to clean up the battlefield like chopping melons and vegetables.
There were quite a few of the Tartars who were only wounded, not dead, and after the stragglers pounced, they took up their swords and fell on the spot, cut off their heads, and stripped them of their armor in front of many Tartars, and pulled their pigtailed heads back into the formation.
And Situ Liang led the cavalry battalion to pursue only for a short while, and then killed twenty or thirty slow-running Tatar cavalry, without a fight, he led his troops back into the big formation, they did this just to prevent the Tatar cavalry from killing a horse pistol and covering the stragglers to clean up the battlefield.
Many Tartar soldiers saw this scene on the battlefield from afar, one by one was stunned, none of them thought that this inexplicable soldiers and horses that suddenly appeared on the battlefield would be so fierce, you must know that it was their general Dolgon's cavalry under the banner of Zhengbai who launched a surprise attack on this inexplicable enemy army just now, although this group of cavalry is not as good as the Bayala soldiers, but it is already quite elite, and they have almost never suffered defeat over the years, but today's battle was so badly fought by this inexplicable enemy army, I was stunned that I didn't even touch the side of the house, and I was beaten to a horseback, and I lost two or three hundred people in an instant, you must know that they were only three hundred people in the Qing Dynasty, and these two or three hundred fine horsemen didn't know that a few bulls with white flags could not be replenished in a few years, so they were all taken aback.
And Dolgon almost couldn't believe what he saw with his eyes, when the cavalry of the Heavenly Army raided his artillery position just now, in his opinion, the enemy was just caught off guard, and the surprise attack was successful, and after the cavalry under his command went up, it was enough for them to see, but what he never expected was that this thief army was so fierce with firearms, such a windy day, and the birds were still fighting so fiercely, and in a blink of an eye, they almost crippled the cavalry battalion under his banner, This kind of loss was almost never eaten by their Qing army, and when he saw his warriors being shot by the enemy with fire guns like pigs and dogs, Dorgon's heart was almost bleeding.
You must know that his original white flag, in fact, is the previous yellow flag, and later after Huang Taiji succeeded to the throne, he took their brothers' yellow and inlaid yellow flags, and lowered their two flags to white and inlaid white flags, over the years Huang Taiji was afraid that their brothers were too strong, so they tried their best to toss their white and inlaid white flags, but even so, the strength of the two brothers is still good, this time Huang Taiji sent their brothers out of the customs, to some extent, he did not want to take the opportunity to consume the strength of their brothers' two flags!
But after getting out of the customs, their progress was still quite smooth, and the loss of the Zhengbai and inlaid white flags was not large, but what he never expected was that it was just such a tentative attack, and this Xingtian army killed his two or three hundred elite cavalry at once, you must know how many clansmen there are in their Jurchens! They can't fight these southerners no matter what, and they can't afford to die two or three hundred of the strongest warriors at once.
Look at the style of the Xingtian thief army, it is not enough to repel the cavalry under his command, but he still dares to send people to pursue, and then cover their subordinates to come out and clean the battlefield on the spot, cut off the heads of his warriors, and strip them of their armor, which is simply a blatant insult to all Qing troops.
Dolgon's temples jumped suddenly, but I have to admit that Dolgon is a famous general, although he was angry, but he did not completely lose his mind, after seeing the strength of the Xingtian Army, he immediately ordered the armies not to advance rashly, but ordered several troops and horses to suspend the attack on the Xingtian Army, so that it began to form a formation, using their current advantage in strength, to drag the Xingtian Army, surround it and then slowly find a way to solve them, for such an arrangement, even the general of the left wing army, Yue Tuo, nodded yes.
In addition to starting to form a formation to intercept the Xingtian army, Dolgon and Yue Tuo ordered the remaining generals to continue to accelerate the attack on the Ming army under Lu Xiangsheng, in order to solve Lu Xiangsheng's group of officers and troops as soon as possible, and then concentrate more troops to eat this group of Xingtian soldiers and horses who tried to rescue Lu Xiangsheng.
And Xiao Tianjian did not delay anything after a small victory, cleaned up the battlefield a little, and immediately waved his division to advance again, three battalions with a cavalry battalion, alternately advancing with each other, and continued to advance in the direction of the Ming army camp that shouted to kill the heavens.
When Xiao Tianjian led the troops to appear on the battlefield, Lu Xiangsheng and the officers and soldiers under his command can be said to have reached the end of the strong crossbow, and the lack of food for many days made the physical strength of the soldiers of the Ming army very weak, and the combat effectiveness dropped by more than half, and there was a serious shortage of ammunition and arrows in the army, and there was no replenishment for a long time.
Two hours later, Lu Xiangsheng himself couldn't remember how many times the commanders repelled the attack of the Tartars, but the current camp was also attacked by the Tartars, if it weren't for Lu Xiangsheng as the first soldier, with the servants always appeared in the most critical places, personally wielding a knife and slashing the Tartar soldiers who rushed into the camp, thus arousing the morale of the soldiers again and again, and repelling the Tartars, the camp at this time would have been broken by the Tartars.
However, although Lu Xiangsheng tried his best, he personally slashed more than a dozen Tartar soldiers after the war, but a few camps were still conquered by the Tartars, and a large number of Tartar soldiers had poured into the camp from these few defects.
At this time, all the soldiers and generals were already completely desperate, until now Gao Qiqian did not send them a soldier to rescue them, it was clear that he wanted to watch them be slaughtered by these Tartars, and the grief and indignation of these Xuanda soldiers scolded angrily, while splashing their lives, using the strength to eat, and the Tartar soldiers who rushed into the camp to fight, in front of the well-equipped and fierce Tartar soldiers, many Ming officers and soldiers fell under their butcher's knives one after another, but even so, They still haven't given up completely, as the bloody nature of the Han people's body, they have been stimulated by Lu Xiangsheng at this time, and continue to fight to the death with some generals.
Lu Xiangsheng himself has been hit by several arrows at this time, with broken arrows hanging on the armor outside his sackcloth filial piety clothes, and he was also stabbed in the shoulder, almost splitting his shoulder, and he has been injured in many places, but he is still fighting and shouting fiercely, hoping to kill a few more Tartars before he dies.
After Hu Dawei knocked down the two Tartar soldiers who rushed towards Lu Xiangsheng one after another, he pounced on Lu Xiangsheng and shouted: "Governor, you better break through quickly!" Cross the Artemisia River from here, there aren't many Tartars on the other side, and you can still get away! Don't hesitate! ”
Lu Xiangsheng roared angrily: "This official will definitely not leave you and others to escape alone!" Kill me as many Tartars as I can! Today, I, Lu Xiangsheng, would rather die here than escape! ……”
Gu Xian and Li Qi both wore armor to protect Lu Xiangsheng's side, and fought with their lives to accompany Lu Xiangsheng to kill the Tartar soldiers who broke into the camp everywhere, both of them were also wounded and covered with blood, but the two of them didn't care, and desperately protected Lu Xiangsheng to fight with the Tartar soldiers, although they persuaded Lu Xiangsheng to break through many times, but they were also rejected by Lu Xiangsheng, so at this point, they also died of heart, and they didn't think about anything else, they just wanted to accompany Lu Xiangsheng to die here and pull them down.
And the general soldier Yang Guozhu in the battalion has rushed into the camp at this time because more and more Tartar soldiers have rushed into the camp, and he does not know where he is, and the general Zhang Yan and the pastoral officer Yang Lukai are still following Lu Xiangsheng, fighting to the death with the Tartar soldiers in the camp, and Hu Dawei is only a moment, and he was scattered by the Tartar soldiers, separated from Lu Xiangsheng, and can no longer find each other.
At this time, I don't know who suddenly shouted: "Inspector, look! There's a troop of soldiers and horses from the west! Looks like they're here to save us! ”
Lu Xiangsheng had not had time to take care of the situation on the periphery of the battlefield for a while, and after hearing the shouts of the soldiers, he hurriedly looked west on horseback with joy in his heart, but what caught his eyes from a distance was a scarlet Xingtian banner, which was overflowing from a earthen beam in the west like a tide, and rushed into the battlefield fiercely.
Although Lu Xiangsheng didn't see it very real from a distance, he immediately recognized that these flags were not the flags of the Ming Army at all, and a thought quickly flashed through his mind: "Xingtian Army!" ……”
Almost instantly, Lu Xiangsheng determined his judgment, and he couldn't tell what it was like in his heart, he, an important minister of the current imperial court, in order to protect the Ming Dynasty, he could be said to have done everything he could, but in exchange for the unanimous betrayal and abandonment of the imperial court bureaucracy, he sat back and watched him and so many elite soldiers and good generals of the Ming Dynasty fall into the hands of the Tartars.
But what he never expected was that at this most critical juncture, it was not any officers and soldiers of the imperial court who rushed to rescue him, but a mutant army that he once regarded as a thief and repeatedly tried to exterminate them.
