Chapter 265: The First Battle of the Cavalry (I)
In the cold winter, the sky is getting late.
Lu Xiangsheng was exhausted from slashing, his right arm was already numb, and there were two hideous knife wounds on his left arm, but he had no time to care about it, allowing blood to continue to gush out.
Then, as if the blood in his body had dried up, he gradually stopped.
His face was covered in blood, and occasionally a spot that had not yet been stained was pale as paper. But his eyes were still red, blood-red!
The enemy in front of him seems to be never finished, as if he can't kill it all.
In front of you, behind you, on your left, on your right.
Around him, outside of the guards of the soldiers, there were dense crowds of enemies, and he rushed out in the battle formation of tens of thousands of enemy troops!
Then, he rushed in again.
And so on and so forth, and was surrounded three times.
On the battlefield, the original 5,000 Tianxiong troops are now less than 1,000 still standing, and the enemy army is still tens of thousands.
Didn't the Qing army suffer casualties?
No, Lu Xiangsheng exchanged his 4,000 hot-blooded soldiers for nearly 10,000 lives of the enemy. If you count the deserters, the number of soldiers who died should be even less.
Is it something to be proud of?
The answer is yes, it's the honor he spelled out!
No matter when and where, Lu Xiangsheng is desperate, using his own blood to protect the Ming Dynasty in the twilight of his life.
When fighting against the rebel armies in various places, the enemy army called him "King Lu Yan"!
Hades, the king of hell, is in charge of the life of all things in the world, and he is immortal. Being given such a nickname by the enemy shows that the enemy is afraid of him.
However, today, the life of the "King Lu Yan", who should have been immortal, is about to come to an end.
The soldiers slowly fell down one by one, but Lu Xiangsheng couldn't take another look, because he was about to fall.
"Snort"
Unprepared, one of the enemy generals stabbed him from behind, piercing his chest and gushing blood.
Lu Xiangsheng only felt a strong sharp pain, and then he became numb, after so many years of fighting, there were countless wounds on his body, how could he care about this knife?
Someone, the scar is a man's medal, a general's honor.
Lu Xiangsheng is a Confucian general, but he is also proud of the scars on his body.
He slashed out with a backhand, ending the enemy general's life, and then stared at the enemy in front of him with his blood-red eyes.
Lu Gong, mighty!
How can the soldiers of the enemy army not feel fear from the depths of their hearts when they are terrified and have an absolute numerical superiority, but they cannot easily crush such an enemy?
"Stand back, all step back, shoot this man with arrows"
I don't know which of the enemy generals shouted this, and the enemy retreated as if they had been pardoned, leaving a large open space.
"Zheng"
This is the sound that comes out when the bowstring is pulled apart and taut.
Lu Xiangsheng smiled and glanced at the sky in the north, which was the center of the Ming Dynasty and the seat of royal power that he guarded.
There, lived a monarch to whom he had been loyal for many years.
He really had no strength at the moment, so he could only slowly close his eyes and wait for death to come.
"Lord Budo"
The few personal soldiers still guarded his side, trying to use their bodies to delay him as much time as possible.
In fact, Lu Xiangsheng can escape from the battlefield alone, but he will never do such a shameful act.
"Huh"
In a round of fierce shooting, four pro-soldiers fell around, and Lu Xiangsheng was also hit by four arrows. The war horse under his crotch was also hit by several arrows, and he neighed and galloped forward, throwing him off the horse.
"Zheng"
The enemy once again drew his bow and prepared to end the battle.
"Lord Budo"
A personal soldier pounced and used his body to tightly press Lu Xiangsheng's body on the ground, hoping to block this round of arrow rain for him.
"Bang"
"Bang"
"Bang"
This series of sounds sounded suddenly, interrupting this round of enemy attacks, and countless soldiers of the Qing army fell in response.
Everyone followed the prestige, only to see thousands of cavalry of the Ming Dynasty appear in the distance, raising the bird guns in their hands and firing at this side.
When did these cavalrymen, all in bright yellow robes, appear?
Everyone was puzzled, just now they were only concerned about ending this battle, and they never thought that the enemy would actually have reinforcements!
In front of thousands of cavalry, surrounded by a group of personal soldiers, a general slowly came out.
This general's face is as warm as jade, his eyebrows are like stars, and he has a majesty between Gu Pan. He was wearing a dark and gold-woven python robe, covered with a black and white-collared mink fur, wearing a crown of loyalty with gold silk and jade, a jade belt around his waist, and a three-foot Qingfeng under his ribs, sitting firmly on horseback.
Such a dress is enough to show his incomparably noble status.
Who else can there be in this outfit besides Li Xiu?
He was very proud of putting a cold gun behind someone's back, and he didn't feel that there was anything wrong with it.
When you go to war, you want to do whatever you want.
Looking at the tens of thousands of cavalry in front of him, Li Xiu was actually a little empty in his heart, he only brought 5,000 people!
The Qing army was just stunned for a moment, and then began to organize a new round of battles, a small number of people continued to besiege and kill the remnants of Lu Xiangsheng, and more iron cavalry rushed towards Li Xiu's thousands of cavalry.
They did not choose to use bows and arrows to shoot at each other, because in the face of other people's birds that were far superior to their own range, such an act was tantamount to self-defeat.
Li Xiu's heart tightened, the Shenji Battalion is good at long-range combat, and if the other party gets closer, the combat power will be greatly reduced. But at this time, there is no choice but to fight to the death.
It's just a desperate fight!
"Kill"
Li Xiu let out a clear drink, and rushed towards the enemy first, and the soldiers behind him were excited, and immediately beat their horses to follow.
In fact, he did not approve of the main general charging ahead, because although this could boost morale, he could not have a clear grasp of the situation on the battlefield, and therefore could not effectively command the army to fight in an orderly manner.
But at this time, there is no other way, because none of these soldiers under his command have really been on the battlefield, how can they not be afraid in the face of tens of thousands of cavalry?
Li Xiu could only take the lead by himself and rushed out in the first place to boost the morale of the whole army.
On the battlefield, the sound of killing was everywhere again.
Although the cavalry battalion had never been on the battlefield, under Li Xiu's example, it did not show the slightest fear in the face of an enemy army nearly ten times its size.
Li Dong also took the lead, leading by example, and rushed to the forefront of his soldiers.
At a distance, the cavalry battalion harvested the lives of the enemy with bird guns. When the hand-to-hand combat is engaged, the swords in their hands are also wielded with tiger and tiger.
At this time, the Ming army appeared again to reinforce, and countless arrows rained out from the rear, and many Qing soldiers were shot off their horses.
Guan Ning Tieqi also arrived at this moment.
Li Xiu made up his mind that even if the cavalry of the two sides only arrived in the lead, it would be enough to support it for a while.
The Shenji battalion was in the north, and the Guanning army was in the south, one after the other, and carried out a counter-encirclement of tens of thousands of Qing troops, just like making dumplings.
"Reinforcements have arrived, annihilate these tens of thousands of enemy troops, and those who have meritorious service can be promoted to knighthood, kill with me"
Li Xiu's long sword in his hand was stained with blood, ruthlessly harvesting the lives of the enemy, but the enemy could not get close to him, because there were countless relatives around him who were closely guarding.
"Kill"
Although his voice was not loud, it was mixed with a trace of internal force, and the soldiers around him heard his words clearly, and they all responded to the peace, and the more they fought, the more courageous they became.
The Qing army also heard this, coupled with the situation at this time, they couldn't tell how many reinforcements the enemy had come, they only knew that they had been made dumplings, and the panic began to spread.
On the battlefield, morale is especially important.
The tens of thousands of soldiers of the Qing army actually frightened the 5,000 people of the Shenji Battalion and the 8,000 people of the Guanning Iron Cavalry, a total of 13,000 people.
The scales of victory were reversed and tipped in favor of the Ming army.
It was getting darker, and night was approaching.
At this time, 10,000 horses appeared in the north again, which was the follow-up army of the Shenji Battalion.
After Li Xiu realized this situation, he happened to rush to the rear, and he shouted at the generals of the Guanning Army: "I am the commander of the Shenji Battalion, the commander of the three armies appointed by the Holy Lord, now listen to my orders and rush to the north!" ”
Without waiting for the heavy people to react, he turned his horse around again and rushed to the north.
The soldiers of the Guan Ning Army made him stunned, and he didn't know when there was an additional commander of the three armies, but he didn't dare to slack off, and took his team to keep up.
Under the leadership of Li Xiu, the Ming army rushed into the enemy's military formation again like an awl, and drilled a big hole. (To be continued.) )
