Chapter 21: Heart Boosters

、、、、、、、

Li Qi and Gu Xian, who followed Lu Xiangsheng, also saw the team of the Xingtian Army that was entering the battlefield in the distance and the Xingtian Army flag fluttering in the wind in their army. We're saved! The heroes of the Xingtian Army have come to our rescue! Look! It's the banner of the Xingtian Army! They did what they said they would, and they came to help us! We're saved! Kill! Kill! Kill them and join them, and we'll be saved!" ”

At this time, the officers and soldiers who were fighting hard also began to gradually notice the changes on the battlefield, they found that the offensive of the Tartar soldiers was suddenly stopped, and after a while, the Hongyi cannons of the Tartar soldiers who had been roaring incessantly just now stopped firing at them, and more and more people also saw the soldiers and horses of the Xingtian Army who began to enter the battlefield.

These officers and soldiers who were already in the Jedi suddenly became excited, although their hearts were mixed, and they couldn't tell what it was like, but at this critical juncture, someone could risk their lives to enter the battlefield to try to rescue them, or let these officers and soldiers all be grateful, and the morale that had already declined was suddenly stimulated again, and the exhausted officers and soldiers didn't know where in their bodies suddenly a surge of strength appeared, and they let out an earth-shattering cheer. And then one by one they roared again: "Kill the slave!" He desperately waved the weapon in his hand and beckoned to the Tartar soldier desperately.

Under the elimination of each other's strengths, the Ming army, which had already reached a precarious point, actually relied on this sudden burst of strength to contain the offensive of the Tartar soldiers, and the officers and soldiers whose morale was revitalized in the two places actually desperately squeezed out the two groups of Tartar soldiers who had entered the main camp in a daze.

At this time, the Hongyi cannon of the Tartar soldiers, who had been bombarding the Ming army camp just now, suddenly rose a flash of light, and then a huge black mushroom cloud rose into the sky, and the ground shook violently, and after a dull rumble to the extreme, it reached the Ming army camp.

Of course, the Ming officers and soldiers knew what was going on, such an explosion was definitely caused by someone detonating the powder keg used in the Tartar cannon, and the Tartar soldiers who were riding on them just now can be regarded as self-reaping, just from this huge explosion, you can guess that the Han soldiers who surrendered the Tartars definitely died a lot this time, which was really relieving, so the Ming soldiers and generals made a bigger cheer, and continued to fight with the Tartar soldiers.

Soon after, they heard a series of firecrackers coming from the west, which sounded a little nervous to many officers and soldiers, because they all knew the power of the birds, how could this Xingtian army use so many birds, and the Xingtian army with the birds, could they get in and rescue them? Because the terrain in this area is flat, after the Xingtian Army enters the battlefield, the officers and soldiers can only pass over the heads of the crowded Tartar soldiers at most, and see the banners of the Xingtian Army fluttering in the wind, so they can't see the situation on the battlefield, and can only secretly guess the battle situation in the west in their hearts.

Although some officers and soldiers were worried in their hearts, feeling that although the Xingtian Army entered the battlefield at this time, it was clear that they wanted to come to the rescue of them, but they also knew how many soldiers and horses came from the Tartars this time, and they intuitively judged that the number of soldiers and horses coming from the Xingtian Army this time was not too much, and even if the two of them were combined, they were far less than the Tartars' soldiers, and with the strength of the Xingtian Army, God knows if they could rescue them. Moreover, they also speculated that these soldiers of the Heavenly Army would be willing to fight to the death for their officers and soldiers who had been enemies to rescue them.

However, in any case, at this critical moment, being able to have a force to try to help rescue them was undoubtedly a shot in the arm for the Xuanda officers and soldiers under Lu Xiangsheng's command, which made their resistance more resolute, and for a time actually blocked the offensive of the Tartar soldiers, and it was difficult to solve the problem with the Tartar soldiers.

Lu Xiangsheng didn't care about his identity at this time, and he rode his horse in excitement to run around the army, constantly encouraging the morale of the officers and soldiers, encouraging them to continue to fight hard, and they must wait until the Xingtian Army came in.

Although Lu Xiangsheng is not sure whether the soldiers of this Xingtian Army can kill their heads and rescue them, or whether they are willing to use their lives to rescue them, he is still grateful to the men and horses of this Xingtian Army, just when these loyal and brave men of the Ming Dynasty have been abandoned by the imperial court, as a former enemy, the Xingtian Army can let go of old grudges, and when he comes here, he has nothing to say, in Lu Xiangsheng's heart, the Xingtian Army can do this, it is already benevolent and righteous. Whether or not they could save these officers and soldiers under his command, he would not blame them in the end, because they had done enough.

So Lu Xiangsheng used all his strength, brandished a big knife and pounced on the most fierce place in the battle without fear of death, and the snowy big knife flew up and down, slashing the Tartar soldiers one after another under his knife.

Don't look at Lu Xiangsheng is a literati, but he is a literati is different from other civil officials, Lu Xiangsheng began to practice martial arts and fitness when he was a child, not to mention his excellent physical fitness, but also born with two arms of divine power, good knife skills in one hand, when he led the order to suppress bandits, he led his troops to battle, and even rushed to the front line of the battlefield like ordinary officers and soldiers, and the rebels who fought with him were all shocked by his toughness, and it was rumored that Lu Dadao was invincible, and it was precisely because of this, When Lu Xiangsheng led his troops into battle, he could often stimulate the morale of officers and soldiers, so that they would serve them willingly, and they could exert their combat effectiveness far beyond that of other officers and soldiers.

With the continuous adjustment of Dolgon and Yue Tuo, groups of Tartar soldiers of each banner began to turn their formations, facing the soldiers and horses of the Xingtian Army, and began to form formations with each other, trying to stop the men and horses of the Xingtian Army from attacking Lu Xiangsheng's camp and merging with the Ming troops under Lu Xiangsheng's command.

And the Xingtian Army here, under the personal command of Xiao Tianjian, led by Liu Yaoben's iron bone battalion, the three battalions of the army were in the shape of arrows, regardless of the big strides forward.

Soon, there was a Tartar infantry with a white flag to block the way of Liu Yaoben's iron bone battalion, a group of Tartar infantry soldiers lined up with shields, and more Tartar soldiers took out their hard bows, put the arrows on the bowstring, waiting for the arrival of the Xingtian army, and more fierce Tartar soldiers were ready to rush to kill, these Tartar soldiers were all wearing eight-petal iron helmets like lightning rods on their heads, wearing white cotton armor with black edges, and copper nails were nailed to the top of the face armor, and the inside was lined with iron leaves to strengthen protection. This infantry with a white flag was under the foot of the banner lord Dordor, who was the half-brother of Dolgon and Azig, and this time Dolgon was ordered to enter the pass, and the battalions with white flags were also ordered to serve Dolgon.

The leader of this team of infantry soldiers is also a Jia Lazhangjing, but it is only a third-class, the official position is equivalent to the position of guerrilla compared to the Ming army generals, he is the first to line up the formation, stop a Tartar army of the Xingtian army, so the brunt of the first stumbling block on the offensive road of the Xingtian army.

This Jia Lazhang Jing rode back and forth in front of the formation, commanding his subordinate Niu Lu Zhangjing and Fen Pa Shiku to lead the troops in formation, just now the cavalry of the white flag attacked the Xingtian army in a battle, and they also saw the fierceness of the Xingtian army, so they didn't dare to be arrogant at this time, and they were all full of spirit and dealt with carefully.

In the eyes of these Tartar generals, this inexplicable Xingtian Army's men and horses are indeed not easy to deal with, but with their bravery, they should still be able to stop this enemy army.

So he arranged a column of infantry soldiers holding shields in front of the formation as much as possible, hoping to block the bird guns in the hands of these enemy soldiers, and then shoot these damned enemy soldiers with the sharpest strong bow in their eyes, so that these enemies can taste the superb archery skills of their Jurchen warriors, maybe in this way, not only can they block this enemy, but if they can't do it well, they can also disrupt them like they did before dealing with the Ming army, and then take advantage of the situation to let the warriors under his command rush up and fight with them in close combat, and maybe they will break up this enemy army. In this way, he has made a great achievement, how can he get the title of Baturu when he goes back this time.

But his wishful thinking was destined to fall into the void this time, because they really didn't understand the tactics of the Xingtian Army, and they didn't know the power of the "bird guns" in the hands of the Xingtian Army, and at this time, when they blocked the way of the Xingtian Army, the sky that had been hazy for several days finally snowflakes, and the cold wind mixed with snowflakes whipped on people's hands and faces like small whips, making people feel painful, and the Tartar soldiers with hideous faces widened their eyes. The Xingtian Army, which was staring at the brigade, was pressing towards them step by step.

The distance between the two armies was shortened little by little from 200 paces, and the soldiers of the Xingtian Army always stepped on the marching drum, as if they regarded these Tartar soldiers on the opposite side as nothing, carrying their spears or firearms, and stepping on the drumbeat of the marching drums in the army without disorder, keeping the queue neat step by step, advancing forward like a mountain, and every step fell, the footsteps of more than a thousand people converged into one, and a roar sounded, as if it was smashed on the hearts of the people, so that those Tartar soldiers who were invincible couldn't help but be moved. They claim to be the strongest warriors in the world, but on the top of the queue, they can't compare with the enemy army opposite, this enemy army from top to bottom all the generals have an indifferent expression on their faces, treating them as nothing, this expression used to be often hung on their faces, but today it appeared on the faces of their enemies, and when the enemy army advanced towards them, this neat marching army was always not chaotic at all, and invisibly exuded a violent beauty that they had never seen, couldn't help but make them even more nervous, almost all the Tartar soldiers had a thought in their minds, that is, they had met a terrible opponent today, and the archers involuntarily began to clench the strong bow in their hands, and the thumb wrench was buckled on the bowstring, ready for battle.
