228 Battle of Hanju (5)
The flag covers the sky, and the howl moves the ground. Li Dingguo led the elite of the 5,000 Yuan Daxi Army, like a tide, poured out of Hanzhou City and killed those Qing troops who were about to flee, and at the same time, the abandoned Qing troops above the city were also killed.
"Listen, everyone, kill a Tartar, whether you live or die, kill an official, a reward of twenty pieces of silver, kill a soldier, and a reward of five pieces of silver!" Cao Bianjiao also shouted above the city pass, rewarding silver to inspire the fighting spirit.
Kong Youde also hurriedly beckoned the people and horses of his department, gathered together, the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs of only 200,000 troops, after the successive battles, there were only 1670,000 people left, basically the war relied on the surrender of troops, since it was a surrender, then how many loyalty and courage to speak of, most of Kong Youde's subordinates were surrendered by the Ming army that year, and after cutting their braids, they became the Qing army. There are only two parts with the most combat effectiveness, one is the old department that surrendered with him in the early years, and the other is the Han army banner assigned to him by the Qing court, but the total is only four or five thousand.
The defeated soldiers scattered the military formation, and the battlefield turned into a one-sided slaughter, and in the cry of pain, the Qing army fell in pieces, with stumps and broken arms, a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, and a large area was piled up in the blink of an eye. The dazzling dark red made people's hearts tighten for a while, Kong Youde watched his subordinates being slaughtered one-sidedly in front of him, it was like plucking his heart, and in the blink of an eye, hundreds of Qing troops were killed and fell to the ground, and it was the elite of the headquarters that he had just sent.
"Bastard! Rush back for me, kill the enemy, and don't retreat! Kong Youde brandished his saber, beckoned all his subordinates, rushed upwards together, and hacked to death a few people who were about to flee by the way, like a madman at this moment, eager to press the heavy troops and quickly turn the situation around.
"Put!" The fire flickered, the cannon roared like thunder, hundreds of tiger squatting cannons roared together, the earth trembled, and the Qing army didn't know what was going on, and the deadly cannonballs hit it. After Li Dingguo went out of the city, Zhang Yingyuan commanded the soldiers and horses to launch the tiger squat cannon cover, in order to pursue the best killing effect, all the grapes used were grape shells, a cannonball shot out, just like a goddess scattered flowers, a large area of damage, a cannonball fell, more than a dozen Qing troops around were killed and wounded, full of power.
Some of the men and horses of the Qing army were blown apart, and various parts formed a bloody picture, which was particularly miserable and terrible. The Qing army, who was lucky enough to dodge a blow, was already frightened, they opened their mouths wide, and some people who couldn't stand the blow were so frightened that they screamed in fright, turned around and ran, no one could restrain them, even Kong Youde was difficult to curb the momentum of defeat and retreat.
"My lord, retreat!" His subordinates grabbed the reins of Kong Youde's horse and wanted to pull him back, but the embarrassed soldiers broke the formation, they couldn't get entangled here, they had to retreat, so that the whole army could fight again.
Kong Youde said viciously: "Everyone remembers, either you die, or I live, if you don't take Hanzhou City in this battle, don't want to live, listen to me, eat the king's favor and repay the king's kindness, we are all people of the Qing Dynasty, we should be born and die for the Qing Dynasty, serve the master, no one wants to retreat, kill me back!" Kill the Ming army, kill a Ming army, reward thirty taels of silver, the official is promoted to one level, cower and not forgive! ”
After killing hundreds of fleeing defeated soldiers, Kong Youde finally stabilized his position temporarily, and at this time, Li Dingguo had already led the army to kill him, Kong Youde also continued to rush forward with soldiers and horses, he knew very well that an old traitor like him, if he did not fight to the end, the result would be very miserable, they were all good at seeing the wind and steering the rudder, Hauge would not let him go when the time came, he did not dare to guarantee, rather than this, it is better to fight to the death and make meritorious contributions, and be a loyal slave of the Qing Dynasty.
Under the rage, the beastly murderous aura surged out like a flood that opened the floodgates. Li Dingguo suddenly let out an angry tiger roar, and the furious howl was poured into Kong Youde's ears like a rolling river, and at the moment of distraction, the halberd in Li Dingguo's hand had been dragged to the flying mud and slag, and Kong Youde also hurriedly waved his knife to meet the battle.
In the splash of sparks, the swords and halberds collided, and the power of thousands of catties collided directly, Li Dingguo's tiger mouth burst out, blood soaked the handle of the gun, and the huge force poured into the body from the arm hit his internal organs like a hammer, only stirring his five intestines and six abdomen surging and agitating, and the surging qi and blood almost wanted to open his mouth and spew out. After fighting each other with two moves, Kong Youde realized that the young man in front of him was by no means an ordinary opponent, and even faintly felt that this kid's martial arts were on par with him, and even slightly higher than himself.
At the moment, Kong Youde restrained his mind and fought again, he saw that when Li Dingguo was using his moves, he always used the means of overcoming rigidity with softness, and did not dare to confront himself head-on, so it seemed that he should be afraid of his own strength. Thinking of this flaw, Yan Yan shook his spirits, poured all the strength of his body into his arms, and every time he swung out, he was full of vigor. In the air, the sound of the blades rubbing against the air was like the roar of a group of snakes, and the dust splashed by the blade wind flew in the air, and the surrounding sergeants watching the battle were terrified.
After more than a dozen moves, after figuring out Kong Youde's path, Li Dingguo decisively changed his tactics, used the word "sticky", and skillfully removed Kong Youde's attack power with one move and one move by means of four or two thousand catties. His halberd was like a glue, sticking to Kong Youde's knife, using a little skill, borrowing a belt, the trajectory of the sweeping sword was easily changed, and Kong Youde's neck was cut off in reverse, so frightened that he hurriedly retracted his momentum, and he could avoid it.
Kong Youde's moves became more and more fierce, and every time he slashed, it seemed to use all his strength, but all of them were dissolved by Li Dingguo's understatement. After more than 30 moves, under such an extremely energy-consuming move, Kong Youde's wheezing voice became heavier and heavier, and as soon as his strength was insufficient, the strength he used was immediately weakened. Li Dingguo deliberately pretended to be afraid of Kong Youde's strength, and let Kong Youde fight hard and soft, and this kind of tactics was clever in resolving the enemy's situation without effort, relying on skill, and finally dragging the opponent until he was exhausted and exhausted, and then took the opportunity to fight back.
"Old thing, no, look at me!" Li Dingguo saw that Kong Youde was exhausted, and he began to fight back desperately at the moment, one move after another, as fast as lightning, which overwhelmed Kong Youde, and the openings on his body immediately increased.
"Be careful of your head......" Li Dingguo stepped forward and swept forward, directly taking Kong Youde's head, Kong Youde heard this, and quickly blocked it, and avoided a blow.
"Be careful of your waist ......" Li Dingguo made another move, and Kong Youde also responded to the knife to resist, but this time he was wrong, Li Dingguo did it on purpose, his halberd suddenly changed his moves, and with a blow Jiaolong turned over and hit the sea, directly stabbing Kong Youde in the chest.
"You... You... Make the deception ......" Kong Youde highlighted a mouthful of blood with a hint of hatred.
Li Dingguo pulled out the halberd and sneered: "You're stupid!" Kong Youde also fell to the ground in response, lifeless.
"Stop, retreat to the city!" Li Dingguo is no longer in love with war, and if he fights again, Haoge's men and horses should arrive, their unexpected effect has been done, Cao Bianjiao has ordered someone to blow the sound of the horn above the city pass, which is a signal that the enemy reinforcements are approaching, Li Dingguo no longer loves to fight, and takes the rest of the people out of the battlefield and rides back to Hanzhou City.
