Chapter 1020 The Line Between Life and Death
The horse-repellent piles and antlers in front of the wall were removed by the soldiers, and the ditches were covered with wooden planks, and more than a dozen soldiers rushed to the wall and pushed the gate open with a creak.
The gate was only half open, and it was not fully opened, so Wang Deren, who was in a hurry, grabbed the belly of the horse and rushed out first, followed by more than 1,000 cavalry, rushing out of the gate with torches.
The cavalrymen whipped their horses desperately, not afraid of the horrors of the night, but it was not easy to march in the dark.
Although the moon shone brightly in the sky, and the cavalrymen also played torches, they galloped too quickly, and one of the horsemen was a little careless, and the horses neighed, and the cavalry and the horses fell forward together, and the knights were thrown far away, tumbling and splashing a cloud of dust.
The horse neighed and struggled to stand up, but the knight who threw it out did not move with a half-sound.
Wang Deren turned a blind eye to this, raised his horsewhip and whipped the horse's buttocks, desperately urging the horse to move quickly, and the same was true of the cavalry behind, and none of them stopped to check the injuries of their companions.
The cavalry continued to gallop, and soon entered a corner, the two cavalrymen in front did not see the terrain clearly, rushed out directly, and crashed into a wood, the horses were immediately cut by branches and spikes, and the cavalry was directly swept off their horses by a branch, and crashed into the tree and fainted with blood.
At the ravine, the Ming army was divided into two pieces, Wang Fuchen led 2,000 men to be surrounded on the plain, and Li Dingguo was trapped in the ravine.
The 3,000 Ming army was divided and surrounded by the 10,000 Jin army, and Wang Fuchen was better because of his preparations in advance and the large number of troops, while Li Dingguo was more dangerous.
On the hill, Hu Guozhu estimated that the main force of the Ming army would soon be killed, he did not have much time, and the Ming army was too tenacious to completely annihilate the Ming army, so he chose to focus on besieging Li Dingguo.
Killing a few thousand more Ming soldiers is nothing, on the battlefields of China's past dynasties, it is normal for more than 100,000 soldiers to die, and a few thousand people are not a great achievement, but getting rid of a famous general of the Ming army, the situation is very different.
As Hu Guozhu's order was conveyed, the Jin army focused on the ravine, and Li Dingguo's pressure suddenly increased.
There were more and more golden soldiers gathered in the dark night, Li Dingguo swept down three golden soldiers with one shot, and before he had time to stab him to death, a few war knives slashed at him again, he could only raise his gun to stand up, and then pushed it desperately and swung the war knife away.
Several Jin soldiers lost their balance and staggered backwards, and Yu Youming, who was beside Li Dingguo, surged forward, and the Yanling knife in his hand swept forward, sparks splashed everywhere, separating Jin Bing's chest.
He stepped forward to give Li Dingguo a chance to breathe, but several spears stabbed at him at the same time, and the front one was swept away by him, but he couldn't react when he stabbed him diagonally, and he was shot in the thigh, and immediately knelt down on one knee.
When several Qing soldiers saw it, they immediately killed him with hideous faces, and wanted to kill this young general of the Ming army, but Li Dingguo regrouped, and the big gun in his hand stabbed continuously, stabbing three people to death in an instant, forcing the Jin soldiers not to dare to step forward.
The battle in the ravine gradually became fierce, Hu Guozhu stood on the slope of the mountain, with the torch of the Jin army below, he saw a hundred Ming soldiers with a flag on his back, leading more than ten people, desperately rushing forward, with arrow shafts inserted in his chest and back, and his left hand was cut off, but he still screamed and rushed to kill, until several spears pierced his abdomen at the same time, the war knife slowly took off, and he lost his life...
"Concentrate your attack!" When Hu Guozhu saw this scene, he became even more determined to kill Li Dingguo, "Order, whoever kills Li Dingguo will be rewarded with 1,000 silver, and the official will be promoted to one level!" ”
In the ravine, there are fewer and fewer back flags that can be seen, and each back flag is not in the Jin army, which can basically represent the destruction of a hundred households of the Ming army.
At this time, the Ming army in the ravine probably had only about 100 people left, and Li Dingguo had already killed red-eyed, and he didn't know how many people had been stabbed to death with a big gun in his hand. The Jin army attacked the hidden arrows openly, and they all greeted him, even if there were guards desperately protecting him, it was full of dangers, and he almost died several times.
The secret numb Jin soldiers poured towards him, and the personal soldiers of the soldiers fell one after another, Li Dingguo still had no fear in his heart, but he was a little unwilling in his heart, he didn't want to die in the hands of the nameless, he waved his spear, like an overlord who had reached a dead end, and the approaching Jin army was all stabbed to death, which made the Jin army a little frightened.
The last dozens of soldiers gathered around Li Dingguo, the Jin army surrounded a circle around them, more than a thousand elite soldiers surrounded them in the middle, the Jin army had been suppressed by this tenacious force, several Jin soldiers were eager to try, but you look at me, I see that you really no one really stepped forward.
For a while, Li Dingguo led his subordinates forward, and the Jin army in the outer circle retreated, and as soon as he retreated, the Jin army came up again.
At this time, a team of more than 100 people was rushing inside, but Wang Fuchen felt the pressure relaxed, knowing that the Jin army was focusing on attacking Li Dingguo, so he took his subordinates to rush into the ravine, wanting to rescue Li Dingguo, he waved his sword and shouted: "Dudu, I'm here!" ”
Hu Guozhu on the hill saw that Li Dingguo was about to finish, but he didn't want such a change to occur again, he said angrily: "How can you let them break in? Resist me! ”
The subordinate general next to him was about to give an order, but a personal soldier pointed to the distance and suddenly exclaimed: "Look, big handsome! ”
Hu Guozhu heard the words and looked in the direction pointed by the soldiers, only to see that not far away, a fire snake was moving rapidly, behind the fire snake, farther away, a bright light was also slowly moving forward, his face suddenly turned cold, how did the Ming army come so fast?
"Hurry up and solve Li Dingguo! As soon as the main force of the Ming army arrives, we are in trouble! Hu Guozhu drew his sword and decided to go into battle in person.
The sound of killing in the ravine shook the sky, and Wang Deren led more than 1,000 cavalry, killing and injuring more than 400 people along the way, and finally rushed out of the battlefield.
The dark night is not suitable for cavalry galloping, but if you run by foot soldiers, I am afraid that when they rush over, Li Dingguo will be finished, so Ma Jinzhong and Wang Deren discussed, and decided that Wang Deren would gather the elite cavalry of the two armies and set off first, and he would come later.
There are more than 60,000 Ming troops and a lot of war horses, but there are only about 1,000 people who can be called cavalry, and they are basically the personal soldiers of various generals, but even so, they still lost thirty percent along the way.
Looking at the battlefield in front of him and hearing the shouts of killing in the sky, Wang Deren raised the three-eyed gun in his hand, and without saying a word, he shouted hysterically: "Cavalry, follow me!" ”
More than 600 cavalrymen immediately rushed towards the Jin army that was attacking the Ming army, which had entered a flat land, and the torch lit by the Jin army pointed out their goal.
With a "bang", the cavalry in front lit the fuse of the three-eyed gun one after another, aiming at the Jin army who was in a hurry.
The sound of "bang bang bang" exploded continuously, and the three-eyed gun fired three guns in a very short period of time, and he hit not a gun pill, but an iron sand, Jin Jun only felt that something was overwhelming, and the soldier was suddenly beaten all over his face, and a sharp pain came from his body.
Although Hu Guozhu judged from the speed of the Ming army's movement that the fire snake in front was the cavalry of the Ming army, and the fire cloud behind was the infantry of the Ming army, and he also ordered the soldiers to be on guard, but it was impossible for the Jin army to be in a new formation at night, especially to let the Jin army, which had been fighting with the Ming army, rearrange the formation.
The soldiers of the Jin army hurriedly organized fell in pieces, Wang Deren grabbed the three-eyed gun, led the six hundred cavalry into the battlefield indomitable, the three-eyed gun became a blunt weapon in the hands of the cavalry, and was used as a mace.
The arrival of the cavalry shocked the morale of the trapped Ming army outside and stabilized the situation.
In the ravine, Hu Guozhu commanded the soldiers to besiege Li Dingguo, and the deputy general He Chengzhi suddenly rushed over to stop him, and said urgently: "Marshal, the cavalry of the Ming army has arrived, the situation outside is chaotic, and after a while, the Ming army's foot soldiers will be killed, and the 10,000 army will not be able to go at that time!" ”
Hu Guozhu's face was entangled when he heard this, he didn't dare to gallop so much at night, he didn't expect that the Ming army would send cavalry to gallop over, so he miscalculated the time.
Hu Guozhu glanced at Li Dingguo, who was about to be wiped out in the ravine, broke free from He Chengzhi, and said unwillingly: "At this time, you let me withdraw?" ”
"Kill Li Dingguo, lose 10,000 horses, you can't row." He Chengzhi hurriedly said: "Retreat, Dashuai!" It is important for the brothers to return to Hanzhong safely! ”
?? Hu Guozhu was unwilling, how could he not eat the meat in his mouth, but at this moment, because the cavalry disturbed the Jin army outside, the pressure of the Ming army surrounded outside was light, and a thousand households led hundreds of soldiers to kill in the ravine.
Hu Guozhu's face turned cold, and he suddenly ordered loudly, "Bring in a team of archers!" ”
He Chengzhi's face changed, "Dashuai, there are your own brothers below!" ”
Hu Guozhu glared at him fiercely, and said angrily, "If you are told to go, you will go, where is so much nonsense, exchange them for Li Dingguo, it's worth it!" ”
Time was urgent, He Chengzhi didn't dare to say more, and immediately transferred a team of archers, and ordered the soldiers to shoot the Ming army to the death with all their might, the soldiers hesitated for a while, but the general reprimanded angrily, and they could only obey the order.
???? The archers of the Jin army were condescending, and below the ravine were the Ming army and the Jin army who were huddled together to fight, Li Dingguo heard the movement outside the ravine, and knew that the reinforcements of the Ming army were coming, so he no longer rushed to kill, but let the soldiers form a small formation to defend.
He was commanding, suddenly the besieging Jin army fell to a piece, countless arrows flew towards him, he waved his gun to block, swinging more than a dozen arrows, but at this moment, his body suddenly trembled An armor-piercing heavy arrow, just shot his right chest, the arrow was extremely powerful, and he was shot to the ground at once, and the surrounding soldiers suddenly shouted in horror: "Dudu!" Governor! ”
On the hillside, Hu Guozhu threw away the strong bow, and immediately waved his hand: "Withdraw!" ”
