Chapter 142, Death (4)

However, at a distance of twenty paces, the shotgun of the Tiger Squat Cannon can also pose a certain threat to the shield car, and there is also a certain chance of penetrating the shield car. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info So this distance is a very dangerous distance for both sides.

The Manchu white armor soldiers flashed out from behind the shield cart one after another, and at the same time shot the arrows in their hands at the Ming army behind the shield cart. The heavy arrows of the Manchu Qing Dynasty had considerable lethality to many armors at this distance, and the white armor soldiers were even more skilled in archery, and when shooting arrows, they often shot directly at the façade of the Ming army. Although the Ming army in front of Lu Xiangsheng were all veterans wearing armor, the armor of the Ming Dynasty generally did not have face armor, and the defense of the façade has always been a weakness. Heavy arrows in such places are almost always fatal, and even if they do not die instantly, they will be incapacitated on the spot. After this round of arrows, these white-armored soldiers retracted back behind the squatting toilet with a roll. At this distance, the Tiger Squat Cannon does have a chance to penetrate the shield car, but the number of Tiger Squat Cannons is limited, and the firing speed is relatively slow, the threat is quite limited, and more importantly, the shield car can block the sight of the Ming army, so that the Ming Army's Tiger Squat Cannon can not be effective even if it shoots many times, because you can't tell where the people behind the shield car are hiding.

After these white-armored soldiers disappeared behind the shield cart, the spearmen at the forefront of the Ming army began to fall to the ground crackling. The arrows fired by the white-armored soldiers pierced through the front of the door and almost killed them. When Lu Xiangsheng's army and Li Chuang fought, Li Chuang's arrow hit Lu Xiangsheng's face, and Lu Xiangsheng was bleeding profusely, but he still fought endlessly, and finally defeated Li Chuang. After that battle, Lu Xiangsheng had the nickname of King Lu Yan in Li Chuang's army. However, Li Chuang, who shot Lu Xiangsheng at that time, also used light arrows, and if it was a heavy arrow shot by the white-armored soldiers, even if Lu Xiangsheng was brave, I am afraid that he would not be able to continue to fight.

At this time, the white-armored soldiers flashed out from behind the shield cart again and shot the arrows in their hands again. At the same time, the Ming army, which had already made some preparations, also began to shoot arrows at those white-armored soldiers, or fired at them with three-eyed guns and bird guns. However, the white-armored soldiers are covered with double heavy armor, and the light arrows of the Ming army cannot penetrate such armor at all (even if it is the heavy arrow of Jianxuan, it is also impossible to penetrate such armor), as for the three-eyed gun, that thing is just bullying the unarmored soldiers, and even if it is a non-armored soldier, if it is bombarded by this goods, as long as it is not bad luck to the bottom, most of them are only a little injured, and they may not even lose their combat effectiveness. Of course, there is a benefit to the Three-Eyed Gun - when the enemy is wounded, you can use it as a long-handled warhammer to crush him.

Of course, the bird gun is still enough to penetrate the two layers of heavy armor on the white armor soldier, provided that this bird gun is not cut corners by my Ming Ministry of Industry, and it is honestly loaded enough when loading gunpowder.

The Tianxiong Army is the elite of the Ming Army, so the quality of the bird gun in his hand is not bad, and everyone also knows that this is a battle of life and death, and when loading gunpowder, he dares to risk blowing up the chamber to load a little more. So in this round, a few unlucky white armor soldiers were hit by the bird guns and fell to the ground, and it seemed that most of them would not survive, but more white armor hid behind the shield cart again, and their shot peeled off a layer of pikemen in front of the Ming army. If it was an ordinary Ming army, they should collapse as a whole at this time, and then Jianxuan could chase them down and annihilate them easily. However, after all, the Tianxiong Army was the most elite army of the Ming Dynasty, although it suffered such a big loss and the military formation was a little shaken, but the basic formation was still well maintained.

Shooting heavy arrows with a strong bow consumes considerable physical strength, and even those who are as strong as an ox can't shoot a few arrows. The first few rounds of shooting did not cause the Tianxiong army to collapse, and the rest of the matter could only be solved by hand-to-hand combat.

"Look at this Ming army, the military formation is still very tight, and it is indeed a capable army. Anyway, how long has it been since we met such a Ming army? Dolgon pointed to the formation of the Celestial Hung Army and said to one of the generals on the side.

"Master, I'm afraid I haven't seen such a fight in almost ten years. But they won't last long. The ministry general replied.

"Report!" A scout horse ran up from under the hill.

"What's the matter?" Dorgon asked.

"Lord Qiqi, our army has discovered the reconnaissance cavalry of the Guanning Army. Our army killed three of them, and the rest ran away. "That detective back reports.

"Guan Ningjun?" Dolgon smiled contemptuously, he knew that these Guan Ning Army's scouts had come to check the situation and see if they needed to flee immediately. As for relieving the siege of the Tianxiong Army, they would not dare to give them a few more dares.

So Dolgon did not adjust his army because of this, but continued to observe the battlefield, and after a while, he pointed to a place and said to the general beside him: "Jumala, take your men and horses, and kill them from this position!" ”

The general took the order and departed.

……

At this time, the battle in front of the car formation was fierce. The Manchu shield chariots continued to move forward, and in addition to the white armor soldiers, other armored soldiers also began to shoot arrows or throw javelins at the Ming army, and the Ming army also returned fire with muskets and bows and arrows. Under the cover of bows and arrows, the Manchu shield chariot slammed into the Ming army's car formation, and then a group of Manchu soldiers wearing heavy armor and holding swords and shields jumped on the chariot from behind the shield chariot and swung their knives at the Ming army, and the Ming army stabbed at these Qing soldiers with spears. Around the Tianxiong Army, many places have fallen into hand-to-hand combat.

In the place that Dorgon had just pointed, the fighting was fiercest. The Manchu army had captured several vehicles of the Ming army, and pulled these vehicles apart, so that a big hole appeared in the Ming army's car formation.

Lu Xiangsheng also knew that the most critical moment had come, and he personally went into battle with his own soldiers to counterattack the gap, trying to plug the gap, and the Qing army that had already rushed into the gap was also trying to attack and try to expand the gap.

"Kill!" Lu Xiangsheng shouted violently, and slashed at a white armor with a knife in his hand, and the white-armored soldier saw that Lu Xiangsheng's knife was fierce, and hurriedly raised his shield to block it. But Lu Xiangsheng's knife was full of strength, this white-armored soldier only held the shield with one hand, and he couldn't support Lu Xiangsheng's strength at all, and the shield was suddenly smashed down by the big knife. It's just that Lu Xiangsheng took a step forward, and the big knife swept over, this person hurriedly threw down the single knife in his hand, and held the shield in both hands to block the blow, but his hands and feet were sore, and his movements were naturally a little slower, and he was cut into two pieces by Lu Xiangsheng's knife.

With this momentum, Lu Xiangsheng cut down several Qing soldiers in a row, the boss was so brave, and the soldiers around him were also greatly boosted, and a fierce attack actually beat the Qing soldiers who had rushed in to retreat and see that they could drive them out, so as to restore the car formation. At this moment, Jumala came in from here with hundreds of Qing soldiers.

However, the timing of Jumala's killing was not good, and the Qing soldiers who were retreating not only blocked Jumala's impact route, but also disrupted the formation of Jumala's department, and as a result, they were still forced out of the car formation by Lu Xiangsheng with his own troops.

"Lord Wang, the slave is incompetent, please punish the prince." Repulsed, Jumala pleaded guilty to Dorgon.

"You are not to blame for this. You're already getting over quickly. It's just that I don't want to have such a fierce general in the opponent's formation, but in such a short time, our army has been beaten into a trend of retreat. "Do you know who the Ming general is?" ”

"Lord Wang, the slave listens to those Nikan shouts, this person is Lu Xiangsheng." Jumala replied.

"It turns out that this is Lu Xiangsheng." Dolgon nodded, "It's rare, it's a pity......"

Then he said to Jumala: "The Ming army is almost unable to hold on, you take your men, see that there is a gap there, and then storm the farthest position from this gap and make a second gap." There is only one Lu Xiangsheng, I'll see which one he can block! ”

……

The Qing army continued to tear holes in the Ming army's car formation, and Lu Xiangsheng continued to take his own soldiers around to fight fires, and this battle began at noon, and now it is close to dusk. At this time, there are more and more gaps everywhere, and the car formation is completely unsustainable.

Hu Dawei gasped and looked around the battlefield, and now the situation was very close to collapse. It's just that Lu Xiangsheng and his personal soldiers are still holding high the handsome banner and continue to fight, and at the same time, more and more Qing soldiers are attracted to rush over there.

"Brothers, this battle can't be fought! Everyone break through with me! Hu Dawei shouted, and at the same time kicked over his own flag, and took his family to break through to the south.

On the other side of the battlefield, after Yang Guozhu found that Hu Dawei had begun to break through, he immediately drew his sword and cut down his own general flag, and led his family to break through to the southwest.

The breakthrough action of Hu Dawei and Yang Guozhu immediately collapsed the entire army formation, and the Qing army came in from all directions, dividing the Tianxiong army into small pieces one by one......

Lu Xiangsheng felt more and more that the big knife in his hand was too heavy. He couldn't remember how many Qing soldiers he had chopped down, but now he was bleeding in several places, and there were fewer and fewer guards around him, and many times, he already had to face the attacks of several Qing soldiers at the same time.

Lu Xiangsheng is not blocking the Qing soldiers' attacks now, anyway, it is impossible for him to block the weapons that are slashing or stabbing at him from several directions at the same time, he is now just relying on the armor on his body to carry it, and at the same time trying to be cut by others at the same time, he also slashes others......

……

"Did the scout come back? Did the scout come back, how was it over there? Gao Qiqian asked as if he was in a hurry.

"Father-in-law Gao, the scout has returned, saying that Governor Lu has been wiped out." Zu Kuan replied.

"How's that okay?" Gao Qi submerged, "If Jian Yan takes advantage of the situation to kill, how can it be good?" ”

"Father-in-law Gao, Jianxuan fought such a big battle today, and there is absolutely no reason to chase after him. Now that I'm ready to pull out the camp, how about I pull out the camp overnight and retreat? Zu Kuan suggested.
