Chapter 727 Decisive Battle on the Western Front III
After the setback of Mt. Tsusu, the number of troops in the town of Chunji fell to less than 25,000 men, exactly half the size of Duoduo.
After discovering that Duoduo was going south, in order to prevent Duoduo from outflanking Wang Yan, Zhongzhi Town could only advance lightly, and the failure of the resistance of the Wet Sushan Mountain, so the heavy equipment and material losses were relatively heavy.
Li Guo commanded his soldiers to continuously shoot and suppress the Qing soldiers who were forced to cross with strong bows and bird guns, but unfortunately, because the army was not fully prepared and did not have time to build the fortifications, they met the attack of the Qing army, so the battle was very difficult.
Soon after the start of the battle, the Qing soldiers relied on the superiority of artillery to continuously rush to the beachhead, and even broke through the first section of the fence and killed under the second section of the low wall. At the moment of crisis, Li Laiheng led nearly 1,000 elite soldiers, threw the few remaining earth-shattering thunders, and then hedged with the Qing soldiers, and only then did the Qing soldiers rush back to the river.
After the Qing army was frustrated in the initial battle, it did not stop, Duoduo knew very well that the Qing army was now weak inside and strong outside, if Bolo failed on the inside, his attack on the outside line would be meaningless, and he must rush to the battlefield under the condition that Bolo was undefeated, and form a flanking attack on Wang Yan, so as to settle the battle and destroy the main force of the Ming army Chu and Jiangxi, then the Southern Dynasty could not compete with the Qing Dynasty in four or five years.
Duoduo did not give Li Guo time to strengthen the defense, and after the Qing army retreated, he gathered a little and then threw himself into the onslaught again.
Soon, on the river beach, the two armies were once again caught in a hand-to-hand encounter, shouting and killing, weapons were exchanged, and the sound of guns and artillery spread on both banks.
Overlooking both sides of the Niutun River from the sky, the smoke of gunpowder is everywhere, and countless figures are fighting to the death, and the scene is spectacular and immense.
"The arrows in the town are gone, and there is not much gunpowder left. Qinggou has broken through to the second line of defense! General He Zhen ran to the Chinese army covered in blood and reported loudly to Li Guo.
Li Guo is Li Zicheng's nephew, to say that with his identity, in the Ming Dynasty, he should be a suppressed existence, but under Wang Yan's protection, he has become the prince of the Ming Dynasty, which is one level higher than the marquis who was enshrined in the Dashun Dynasty.
A group of generals of the Dashun army, under the protection of Wang Yan, lived a very nourishing life, and their treatment was no different from other Ming troops, and on the contrary, they were higher than many local town troops where the officers and soldiers were born.
It was Wang Yan's many efforts that made the mark of these generals gradually fade and be imprinted with the mark of the Five Loyal Army.
This time, he knew that once Duoduo broke through him, then Wang Yan would be in danger, and the soldiers who were loyal to the town must use their own sacrifices to buy Wang Yan time to break the enemy.
After listening to He Zhen's words, this Shaanxi man stood on the top of a high slope, overlooking the battlefield on the river beach.
The scene in front of him is enough to make any veteran who has been on the battlefield tremble, countless red-topped hats are rushing onto the river beach, and many Eight Banner cavalry are crossing the water directly across the horse, and the Qing army is slapping the Ming army's defense line wave after wave.
The first fence at the front has completely collapsed, and the Qing soldiers who are dense like ants are storming the second short wall, and they don't know when it will fall.
Seeing this scene, Li Guo pulled out his sword, turned around, and said in a deep voice to the generals beside him: "I waited for the beginning of the Sanqin, cholera China for decades, and this sin is serious, but the lord of the clan will not abandon it, regardless of the previous suspicions, recruit for deployment, treat him like a brother and brother, and have never been treated badly. Today, we think that the officials and soldiers, the food in their mouths, and the clothes on their bodies all depend on the feudal lord and the old squire. The crow feeds back, the lamb kneels to suckle, and the beast still knows how to repay the favor, let alone the human voice? In addition, serving the country in the army, it is inevitable to die, and now this town was ordered to block the Qing dog, one to atone for the sins, the second to report the great kindness of the feudal lord, and the third to the righteousness of the Han family, why fear death? After speaking, he pointed his knife at everyone and shouted, "Do you dare to die?" โ
The foundation of Zhongzhi Town, is the original East Road Shun Army, although it has also disrupted some other troops to come in, but the main force is still the Shun soldiers, the main force of the Ming Army has basically surrendered in the Hongguang Dynasty, whether it is the Wuzhong Army or He Tengjiao's troops, like Hao Shaoqi, Ma Jinzhong, Wang Jincai, this is the Shun Army surrendered.
The original peasant army accounted for at least seventy percent of the Ming army system, and it was not until Wang Yan's government military system first achieved results, coupled with the army's battle losses, and the disabled, old and weak retirement, that this proportion declined.
In the original history, it was also two peasant armies, which finally supported the Southern Ming Dynasty for more than 20 years.
When the soldiers heard Li Guo say this, they knew that they were going to die here, and it was estimated that most of the people's lives would be lost here, but since the founding of the Five Loyal Army, only all members of the Five Loyal Army have died in battle, and there is no such thing as escaping from the battle.
All the soldiers pulled out their swords in unison, held the weapons in their hands, raised them high, and responded with a loud shout: "The country is dead!" โ
Seeing this, Li Guo's expression was solemn, "In that case, sons, put on your weapons and fight with this town!" โ
Donate your life to go to the country, and see death as if you were going home!
The soldiers clasped their fists together, "I'll follow Duzhen to the death!" โ
"Kill!" Li Guo turned around, raised his sword high, let out a loud shout, and then rushed down with his sword, and hit the Qing army that had broken through the second low wall and was about to rush to the bottom of the slope.
On the other side of the Niutun River, Duoduo stood under the banner of the king, and was watching the battle with a group of generals, and he couldn't help laughing when he saw that the Qing soldiers had broken through the fence and killed the second line of defense, and even the men and horses had broken through the second line of defense.
"It depends on the situation, Li Guo won't be able to support it for long!" Duoduo said to the crowd rather proudly.
The Manchurian general Heluohui on the side was obviously not worried about the situation in front of him, they had twice as many soldiers and horses as Li Guo, and it was only a matter of time before he defeated Li Guo.
He listened to Duoduo's words and thought deeply, but he expressed concern about the inside line, "I don't know what the situation is on the side of the Duanzhong County King?" โ
Duoduo smiled, but he was quite confident in Bolo, "Wang Yan 70,000 horses and horses killed in the past, Bolo only needs to retreat to the big victory pass, not to fight a decisive battle with Wang Yan, he just needs to remain undefeated for seven or eight days, wait for this king to break through Li Guo, outflank from behind, the two armies attack Wang Yan, Wang Yan has no reason to be undefeated!" โ
Duoduo felt a burst of happiness in his heart, the battle in Yangzhou made him ashamed for four years, and he should be able to take revenge on Wang Yan this time.
Just when Duoduo was full of confidence, Bolo's mood was very bad, Wang Yan tried to fight quickly, he missed a move, and he was completely passive.
Wang Yan's purpose is to lead him back, but he has to come, if he doesn't come, Wang Yan will break through the big victory pass, and he can hit Jiangning to the east, and he can hit Ma'anshan after turning around, then he will be attacked by the remnants of the army on the mountain and Wang Yan.
At this time, he knew that Wang Yan was waiting for him on the road, but he couldn't help but lead his troops to chase him, but his goal was different from Wang Yan's, Wang Yan was going to fight him in a decisive battle, and if he could defeat Wang Yan, he would defeat Wang Yan, and he would not be defeated, so he would strive to break through the obstacles and return to the Great Victory Pass.
As long as he gets into the big win, the pocket is still the pocket.
At this time, the Bolo army spread, the ten thousand cavalry galloped in front, the sound of hooves rolling, tens of thousands of infantry troops buried their heads, and the red-topped hats rose and fell.
Tanma had already informed the Ming army that it was in front, and after the army had marched for several miles, a fiery red mountain of soldiers gradually appeared in the distance.
