Chapter 264: Jiazhuang Fights Fiercely

Julu County, Jiazhuang.

Lu Xiangsheng took his 5,000 men and horses and marched to Songshui Bridge.

At this time, it was already the moon of Layue, and it had just snowed a few days ago, but now it had stopped, and the cold wind was blowing on everyone's faces, and some soldiers who were not in good physical condition, and even the hands holding their weapons were shivering.

The imperial court did not release food, and the soldiers are now cold and hungry, if it weren't for Lu Xiangsheng to bring a good start, I'm afraid everyone would run out.

Lu Xiangsheng is a resolute person, even if the conditions for the march are poor, he still has that righteous breath in his heart.

In battle, he took the lead and was the first to rush into the enemy's battle formation. When there was a shortage of food, he, like the soldiers, only ate one meal a day, or even only one meal every two days, and the amount was still very small.

As the main general, he is strict with himself and never gives himself special treatment. Because of this, most of the soldiers respected this commander very much.

Perhaps, Lu Xiangsheng never thought of thinking of himself as a high-ranking member of the imperial court. In his heart, he should be the same as these soldiers, nothing more than raising his arms in anger to fight against the invaders when foreign enemies invade.

Let the soldiers rest in place, while Lu Xiangsheng stood alone, quietly looking ahead, patiently waiting for the scouts sent out to return from the news.

Regarding the matter of marching, Lu Xiangsheng has always been more cautious, how can it be child's play to fight?

Now there are too few people and horses in his hands, even if he wants to die, he has to pull a few more enemies to accompany him to the funeral, and only in this way can he die well.

"Tap"

"Tap"

"Tap"

A scout in front of him hurried, the sound of horses' hooves seemed to be very urgent, Xu was a little abnormal in front, only to hear him on the horse, and shouted from a distance: "Lord Ministry, there are tens of thousands of enemy troops in front, they have already appeared with us, and now they have chased us!" ”

Tens of thousands, that is the main force of the Qing army.

Lu Xiangsheng was shocked when he heard this, but he panicked and hurriedly ordered the soldiers: "Assemble the army and withdraw from Jiazhuang!" ”

However, it was too late, and at this moment, the sound of thunder could be faintly heard in the distance, and only a large number of cavalry could hear such the sound of horses' hooves.

The iron cavalry of the Qing army has arrived!

The enemy is almost here, and if he retreats now, his more than 5,000 people will simply be lambs to be slaughtered.

"Array, cavalry in front, infantry in the rear, follow me to meet the battle!"

Lu Xiangsheng knew that this battle might be the last battle in his life. He quickly turned on his horse and conveyed the order to the soldiers with great calmness.

Lu Xiangsheng himself led the army in the center, the general soldier Tiger Dawei guarded the left wing, and Yang Guozhu guarded the right wing. More than 5,000 officers and men of the whole army lined up in an orderly manner, waiting for the arrival of the enemy army.

After a moment's effort, he saw a black line floating in the sky ahead, and the black line gradually became thicker and thicker, and after a while, the outline of the enemy's iron cavalry was faintly visible in the distance.

The number of enemy troops, visually estimated at least fifty thousand!

With the snap of his fingers, he could already see the soldiers on horseback in the place, waving the whips in their hands, galloping towards them, and under their hooves, billowing dust and smoke rolled up.

"Archer Preparation"

Lu Xiangsheng took a deep breath, raised his right wrist high, and shouted loudly.

"Huh"

The archers are half-crouching, stretching their bows and stringing, ready to go!

After the enemy's cavalry entered the firing range, Lu Xiangsheng's raised right hand swung down heavily, and thousands of arrows shot out at the same time, with the sound of "whirring", shooting towards the enemy in front and the war horses under their crotches.

At the same time, the opposing cavalry in front of the army also stretched their bows and fired arrows on their horses.

Arrows like rain, horses like dragons!

The two sides started the first round of confrontation in the air.

The morale of the Qing army is now booming, and the vanguard cavalry team, with the momentum of several victories, rushed towards Lu Xiangsheng's camp. Lu Xiangsheng led 5,000 tired soldiers, and his momentum was obviously insufficient, but so far, there was no sign of cowardice.

After a rain of arrows fired, the enemy's frontmost iron cavalry climbed on their backs, and some of them knocked down the cavalry in the rear.

The Qing army practiced the skills of riding and archery all year round, even if they were running on horseback, the quasi-head was only slightly weaker than the Tianxiong army, but their arm strength was amazing, and many of the soldiers who were shot were directly out of the body, and the lethality was very great.

The two sides had only carried out two or three rounds of shooting, and the distance had already been narrowed, and the bows and arrows were no longer effective at this time.

At the same time, Lu Xiangsheng had already shouted loudly, rushed out first, and entered the enemy's iron cavalry camp, and the relatives behind him immediately followed with horses, guarding his side.

The iron broadsword in Lu Xiangsheng's hand was raised high, and then quickly slashed down, but with a flick of his fingers, one of the opponent's cavalrymen had already been cut off his horse. He didn't stop for a moment, and the blade slashed out horizontally, and with the momentum of thunder, he swept and slashed down another enemy.

Encouraged by his example, his soldiers also gained some confidence and joined the battle group one after another.

To kill, or to be killed.

However, after all, the enemy was outnumbered, and the enemy army outnumbered his own nearly ten times the number of men and horses, and after a stalemate for a short time, the Tianxiong army was obviously in decline and irreversible.

The scales of victory began to tilt in favor of the Qing army.

Not counting that, not long after the fierce battle between the two sides, the rear army of the Qing army arrived, and the morale was immediately stronger. On the other hand, on the side of the Tianxiong Army, many soldiers have already felt hopeless.

Even if they knew that this would be the end, when it came to the moment of life and death, they would inevitably be demoralized.

You only have one life, and who wouldn't want to live?

Many people wanted to live, but they decided to die with the lord of the ministry and died heroically.

And some people, their hearts are very eager to survive, so they choose to become deserters.

Yang Guozhu and Hu Dawei, the commanders of the guards on the left and right wings, chose to run away at the same time after a short struggle in their hearts. They didn't even pay attention to their own soldiers, and fled with their own soldiers.

After the Qing army was now, they also divided into several teams to pursue these two generals.

Lu Xiangsheng had already rushed to the depths of the enemy's military formation at this moment, and he couldn't see this situation at all, so he could only desperately slash and slash, harvesting the enemy's life.

His body was dripping with blood.

However, because he was still guarded by his side, he hadn't been injured much until this time, but there were a few small wounds on his body, and the blood stains on his body were basically left by the enemy.

In winter, it always gets dark early, and it's already night.

But on the battlefield, there are tens of thousands of horses on both sides, whether it is a general or a soldier, no one will care about the sky. The Qing army wanted to eat the thousands of men and horses of the Ming army with the greatest casualties.

Lu Xiangsheng, on the other hand, wanted to exchange the lives of his thousands of soldiers for the enemy's greatest casualties.

That's all, that's all! (To be continued.) )
