A large number of Guards infantry poured out in front of him, and he was not afraid, raising his mace and rushing forward. And the post-golden armor soldiers behind him saw that Sanbeile was so heroic, and their morale was greatly boosted for a while, and they fought with the infantry of the Guards in front of them.

At this time, the enemy and the enemy are mixed, and unless the fire gun is against the body of the Houjin soldier, it is useless to fire. And the enemy rushed so fast that there was no time to reload. Fortunately, except for the artillery group that Mang Gurtai killed just now, the other artillery groups were still firing cannons, so the Houjinjia soldiers who rushed behind would still be injured by the cannons.

However, there was still a big difference in the speed between firing when the enemy was far away and the enemy approaching the rear artillery, so more Houjinjia soldiers escaped the attack of the cannonballs and rushed towards the Guards infantry in front of the artillery array.

At this time, Mang Gurtai killed another artillery crew, but he was still not injured. His self-confidence was even more unprecedentedly inflated, shouting and screaming, and treating the Ming army as nothing.

Lu Xiangsheng frowned and said to the guards, "Bring my big knife." ”

The adjutant hurriedly said: "Division commander, this guy is just a savage, our rifled gunner is aiming at him, but he moves so hard that he can't find a chance for a while." ”

Lu Xiangsheng shook his head and said, "They are all savages, and they will only be afraid if they defeat the leader with their methods." So saying, he jumped off his horse, took up his broadsword, commanded the adjutant, and rushed towards Mang Gurtai.

He rushed to Mang Gurtai, and did not make a move, but shouted: "A certain is Lu Xiangsheng, the commander of the first division of the Ming Guards, Jiannu Xiu is rampant, and see that you will be cut in two." ”

Mang Gurtai glanced at him and said, "You are the one who killed." He raised his mace with both hands and pounced on Lu Xiangsheng.

Lu Xiangsheng did not retreat but advanced, slashed at the mace with a knife, the two blades intersected, Mang Gurtai only felt that the tiger's mouth was hot and painful, the mace seemed to be coming out of his hand, and he thought in his heart: "This southern barbarian has a few catties of strength." ”

Lu Xiangsheng's big knife weighed one hundred and twenty pounds, although he was thin, his arms were particularly thick, and this knife danced extremely easily. There was a pause when the broadsword and mace collided, and he took advantage of the momentum to pull the knife to the side, cutting off two of Mang Gultai's fingers.

Mang Gurtai was frightened, and he wanted to jump back, but just now, Lu Xiangsheng's knife had already followed, and with a wave, his right foot fell off. Manggultai fell to the ground like a mess of mud.

Lu Xiangsheng stepped forward and shouted, "One knife and two cuts." He swung his sword and slashed at Manggultai's waist. Seeing that the situation was not good, Mang Gurtai threw the mace at Lu Xiangsheng with all his might, and took advantage of Lu Xiangsheng's dodging skills to flee backwards.

It's just that he just broke one foot, and when he wanted to run back, his left foot kicked up, and when his right foot continued to exert force, a leg bone fell to the ground, and he screamed and rolled to the ground.

At this time, Lu Xiangsheng dodged the mace, stepped forward with a knife flower, and cut him into two pieces. Mang Gurtai couldn't die for a while, but just stared at Lu Xiangsheng and said, "Good work!" ”

Lu Xiangsheng smiled and said, "Thank you for the compliment." With a sword, he cut off Mang Gurtai's head, and raised it with a knife: "The little slave chief is dead, and the guards will win." ”

Seeing this scene, the infantry of the Guards Army, who had been in the golden armor after a hard resistance, was demoralized and shouted: "The division commander is mighty, and the Guards will win." He stabbed the bayonet at the armor soldier in front of him.

Then the Jin soldiers saw that Mang Gurtai was dead, and the offensive slowed down for a while, but soon a voice sounded: "Avenge the three beylers and kill the Ming army." "The offensive is back on the rise, but it's a bit lower than it was before.

At this time, Nurhachi had already let Du Du and Yuetuo flank the two wings of the Guards. The Guards changed formation, but the artillery transfer could not be so flexible, and the pressure on the front was quite high, so it was impossible to draw too many artillery to defend the flanks, so they had to let the musketeers deal with it.

The Houjin soldiers on the flanks ran quickly, and all of them were Houjin armor soldiers, and there was no Han army rushing in front at all. And it is not easy for the firecrackers to deal with the Houjin soldiers who are not too dense and run quickly, so they quickly let them rush forward. Lu Xiangsheng said to the drummer: "Engage in white-knuckle combat." The drummers beat the drums, and the Guards stopped trying to destroy the enemy with their firearms, and began to fight with the Houjinjia soldiers with bayonets.

Now the artillery can only block the Houjin soldiers in front, and the Houjin soldiers basically no longer charge from the front, but rush from the flank and move closer to the center. So the artillerymen began to pick up their guns and turn into bayonet men.

White-knuckle soldiers die far less quickly than cannons and guns to harvest lives, but they are far more brutal than firearms. The sound of the knife piercing into flesh made the nerves of both the stabbed and the stabbing person tremble violently. This leads to this different situation, either more crazy or suddenly weak.

The Houjin soldiers and the guards were at loggerheads, the Houjin soldiers were skilled in the use of cold weapons, and the guards were good in the quality of weapons and armor. Under the bayonet, the cotton armor of the Houjin soldiers can be regarded as almost vulnerable, and the swords and guns of the Houjin soldiers slash and stab the guards, generally only splashing a spark, and only blunt weapons can cause effective damage to the guards.

However, the Houjin soldiers continued to come forward, and they had an advantage in numbers, especially from the south gate of Liaoyang, and the Houjin armor soldiers kept pouring out. Nurhachi was already determined to finish the battle, so this time the whole army attacked, leaving no reserves.

Lu Xiangsheng took the telescope and examined it carefully. Now the number of Houjin armor soldiers on the battlefield has risen to more than 20,000, which is not counting the number of Han troops. And now there are more than 8,000 Houjinjia soldiers fighting against the Guards, and about 2,000 Han troops. The Ming army had only 8,000 artillery men.

Looking at the Houjin soldiers who were still increasing, Lu Xiangsheng said to the signal soldiers: "Send a signal to summon the Fifth Division." ”

One of the signalmen took out a short gun, and the other next to him took out a fire rope and lit something that looked like a cannon in front of the short gun, and the first signalman pointed the short gun diagonally to the sky and pulled the trigger. The cannon flew up, then exploded, scattering a cloud of red sparks.

Then two more red flares exploded in the sky. Lu Xiangsheng said: "We can arrive in half an hour, as long as we delay them for half an hour, Jiannu's military strength will lose most of it." ”

Looking at the flames that exploded in the sky, Dai Shan said worriedly: "Father Khan, they are recruiting reinforcements. ”

Nurhachi smiled and said, "I have already sent someone to inspect them, and their reinforcements are still twenty miles away from them, and it will take at least an hour to arrive, and then they will have to rest for half an hour before they can enter the battle." We were enough to defeat Lu Xiangsheng in one hour, and then take advantage of the victory to pursue and annihilate the guards behind them, and from then on, the guards in Liaodong will be abolished, and Liaodong will still be ours after all. Tell Amin to hurry up and destroy the guards in one fell swoop, at this time. ”
