Chapter 166: The Decisive Battle of Jingxiang (6)
The Qing soldiers were three people, and the first to come to Changsha City was still Wu Sangui's Han soldiers.
Lucketthun followed, and his men had been wandering outside the Jingzhou front, in the area of Wuchang and Yuezhou. Knowing that the main force of the Ming army had retreated, they stuck to it like a dog's skin plaster.
After Wu Sangui and Luck Dehun joined forces, they were preparing to set up camp and enter Changsha City. They also know that Changsha is not a bone to gnaw on, and hundreds of thousands of troops guarding Changsha will not be able to defeat it for a while and a half.
Wu Sangui and Luck Dehun were discussing the map in the Chinese military tent when they heard the sky boiling outside. Both of them were battle-hardened, and they didn't panic, and they looked at each other and came out of the tent together.
I saw that the suspension bridge in Changsha Mansion was directly cut off all the ropes and fell down with a bang. Wu Sangui's eyes widened, he had fought for so many years, and he had never seen himself cut the suspension bridge. This was followed by a louder noise, and the city gate of Changsha was directly blown up by gunpowder, and the sawdust of the city gate flew all over the sky. The smoke of gunpowder filled the entire outskirts of Changsha, and the siege battle had not yet begun, and the city was already full of holes.
"You Han people have a saying, called self-destruction of the city wall, could it be that someone in Changsha Mansion is coming to surrender, is this a great gift to us?" Lucker said blankly.
Wu Sangui frowned, suddenly felt a trace of panic, and after a while, he stomped his feet and said, "Not good!" They're going to counterattack! ”
The generals don't believe it, this is too shocking, how can anyone put the thick walls of the high city and destroy the city walls.
Hou Xuanyan in the city pulled out his sword and shouted loudly: "Wang Ba, who is afraid of death, only thinks about shrinking." Now that the drawbridge is destroyed and the city wall is collapsing, the Qing soldiers have been killed by the Qing soldiers. Today, I am invincible, there is no enemy, I will be rewarded with one or two for killing one enemy, ten people will be killed for killing the enemy, and I will be added to the knighthood. Whoever killed Wu Sangui, Lao Tzu's Yue Guogong gave him a pawn! ”
I saw that in the smoke of gunpowder that had not yet dissipated, countless warriors poured out, waving their blades and howling and rushing out of the ruined Changsha City. The retreat has been broken, and there are no other thoughts in their hearts, these Ming soldiers also know that Changsha City without a city gate can only die faster by hiding in it. In addition to the order conveyed by the general before the war, the reward system was clearly stated, and the wife and shadow were named in this move.
There is no formation in this battle, blocking Yinxi, Li Haoxian, Xia Wanchun, Zhang Huangyan, Gu Yanwu, Zheng Zunqian... Famous generals are like clouds, and fierce generals are like rain, but they all gave up their scheming strategies, followed the crowd and rushed out, and under the escort of their own soldiers, they went into battle to kill the enemy. The land of Xiangjiang is full of mountains and mausoleums, and the artillery battalion that has long been ambushed in the mountains and forests outside the city has taken away the camouflage the moment it heard the sound. They were ordered to use up all the shells in one day.
The Qing soldiers never expected that there would be artillery outside the city. The place where they camped, far enough away from the city walls, was beyond the range of the artillery. If the Ming army placed artillery outside the city, it would be a pure gift. But Hou Xuanyan obviously didn't want to keep his hands behind, he just looked desperate, and he couldn't take care of anything else. If you win, some of them are cannons, and if you lose, even if you keep them all, it will be a wedding dress for others, and you will cheapen the Qing soldiers for nothing.
Wu Sangui shouted angrily and commanded the generals to return to their positions and prepare to meet the enemy. Luckedhun stretched out his hand and pointed to the Yuelu Mountain in the west, and shouted: "Where did the artillery come from, who will destroy their artillery?" ”
Wu Sangui grabbed a military general next to him who was about to turn over and get on the horse, and said, "Luo Ning, you go!" ”
At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the family Ding system prevailed in the army, and these generals and soldiers under Wu Sangui were actually his family slaves. These people were loyal to Wu Sangui, and they were not afraid of death, and when they heard this, they got on their horses and waved their hands, and thousands of elite horsemen rushed out of the camp with him and ran towards the mountains.
On the mountain road, all kinds of traps have long been placed, and these people riding into the mountains are simply throwing themselves into the net. The horses and men fell into various traps together, and the sharpened pieces of bamboo penetrated into the flesh, and before they could even see the shadow of the artillery, they were almost dead. After more than a hundred people died, Luo Ning said loudly: "Dismount and move forward carefully." The rest of the men discarded their horses and cautiously groped for the artillery on foot.
The Ming soldiers who were the first to rush out of the city were already within the range of their bows and arrows, and they shot arrows with bows. After a rain of arrows, he threw his bow on the ground and drew his steel sword and charged towards the enemy.
The Qing soldiers were originally encamped, but after being caught off guard, they hurriedly picked up their weapons and prepared to meet the enemy.
Although the Qing soldiers were brave, they were taken by surprise, and the Ming army came up with a desperate posture. No matter how many battles Ren Wu Sangui fought and how many wars he watched, he didn't expect that there would be such a move as self-destructing the city wall.
Although Luck Dehun is a Baylor, the Eight Banners at this time have not yet become a group of wastes waiting for death. can enter the Central Plains, naturally they have their ability, and Luck Dehun is not a gentleman embroidered pillow. He lifted the reins of his horse, raised the scimitar in his hand high and stretched it out to the sky, and said in Manchu: "There are no hunters who run away from their prey, and the warriors will not give up their hunting grounds, and follow me to slaughter these Han sheep!" ”
All the Qing soldiers who were in the red flag disappeared from the panic in their eyes, and were replaced by cruelty, bloodthirstiness, and greed, and they invariably reined in the reins, raised their swords, kicked and kicked them, and rushed towards the Ming army that was chasing after them.
They rushed ahead of the crowd and were confronted with a dense rain of javelins, which were hurled. Baturu, the red flag at the front, was pierced through the chest by a spear, and blood flowed down the barrel of the gun. There was anger in his eyes, and he wanted to pull the spear out of his chest, but another feathered arrow shot him into a hedgehog, and finally fell from his horse, raising a puff of dust.
Wu Sangui was short of breath, and the look in his eyes flickered, looking at the situation on the battlefield. The deputy general next to him was his confidant, pulled out his knife and said, "Lord Wang, let's fight." ”
Wu Sangui pressed his hand holding the knife, pressed it back to the scabbard hard, and said in a deep voice: "Let Li Benshen and the green camp go to the top." ”
