Section 8 The Great Confrontation (3)
The speed of the entire Manchu army with blue flags and iron cavalry increased a lot again under the order of Zilharang, and 10,000 Tartars controlled the war horses to roll forward, and slammed into Liu Wenxiu's soldiers, and in the blink of an eye, the hundreds of Ming soldiers who rushed to the front were caught under the horse's hooves.
Seeing this, Liu Wenxiu was furious, yelled and led the army to kill, and formed a phalanx with more than 1,000 Ming soldiers around him, preparing to fight with the Manchu army with blue flags and iron cavalry, and use his life to slow down the charging speed of the Tartar army.
However, Liu Wenxiu's intentions have long been seen by Zilharang. So, Zilharang temporarily changed the formation, while ordering the main force of the iron cavalry army to continue to rush forward, and at the same time ordering a group of hundreds of iron cavalry to storm Liu Wenxiu's phalanx from the flank, and directly rushed towards Liu Wenxiu's position, preparing to kill Liu Wenxiu, so that the Ming army soldiers were leaderless!
In the blink of an eye, the soldiers of the Ming army were in an extreme crisis, and only a small phalanx of more than 1,000 soldiers held by them withstood the onslaught of more than 10,000 Tartar cavalry, and could be completely annihilated at any time. During this period, the soldiers of the entire Ming army were surging towards this side, and all the soldiers of the Ming army were moving closer to the position of the main general, wanting to rescue Liu Wenxiu's soldiers.
However, Dai Shan and Ji Erharang were both veteran generals in the Qing army, and the two hardly had to communicate with each other, and they could command the army of the post to cooperate with each other only by virtue of the situation on the battlefield.
When Jierharang led the Manchu army with a blue flag to attack Liu Wenxiu's soldiers, Dai Shan tacitly led the Manchu army to continuously attack the Ming army's large array, and defeated the Ming soldiers who came forward to support one by one. Half an hour passed, and under the command of Dai Shan, the Manchurian Red Banner Iron Cavalry continued to attack left and right, and never let a single Ming army soldier approach the position where Liu Wenxiu was sitting, completely cutting off the connection between Liu Wenxiu's officers and soldiers and the entire Ming army array.
At this time, Liu Wenxiu also understood his situation, and before this expedition to Liaodong, Liu Wenxiu had already held the determination to die. Just like what Li Dingguo said, the eldest husband will attack the Tartars in the north to defend China, although he will die without regrets!
In the face of the siege of the Manchu army with blue flag iron cavalry, Liu Wenxiu did not have the slightest timidity, and shouted loudly to the hundreds of remaining Ming army soldiers around him: "I am fortunate to live and die with all the soldiers today, and I Liu Wenxiu am really fortunate to live and die with all of you!" I'll die here today, and as long as one of us is alive, the Tartars don't want to take a step forward from here! ”
After speaking, Liu Wenxiu threw away the broken spear in his hand, picked up a slightly curled war knife, and rushed towards the Tartar Iron Cavalry in front of him.
"Fight to the death! Fight to the death! Fight to the death! ”
The hundreds of soldiers of the Ming army around also roared angrily, and all of them followed behind Liu Wenxiu and launched a final charge towards the Tartar Iron Cavalry.
Hundreds of soldiers of the Ming army, under the leadership of Liu Wenxiu, rushed forward against the army of more than 10,000 Manchurian troops with blue flags.
Seeing this, Jilharang, who was leading the army to charge, couldn't help but be moved, and said secretly: "I didn't expect this Ming army in front of me to be so brave that it would fight to the death and not retreat!" Although the combat power is far inferior to the Hanwei army, the will of this Ming army is by no means under the Hanwei army! It must be gathered and annihilated, otherwise, one day this Ming army will also be trained by Liu Yunwei into an army like the Han Wei army, and there will be no hope for my Qing Dynasty! ”
Thinking of this, Zilharang also issued an order to launch a general attack, and commanded 10,000 Manchu troops with blue flags and iron cavalry to rush towards Liu Wenxiu's soldiers.
Iron hooves rolling, stepping on horses!
Liu Wenxiu and hundreds of Ming army soldiers were submerged in the Tatar iron cavalry in the blink of an eye, and there was no trace of them again.
Zilharang laughed wantonly, commanded the Manchu army with blue flags to continue to attack the Ming army's large array, and cooperated with the Manchu army led by Dai Shan to completely defeat the Ming soldiers who had lost their command.
At this time, most of the Ming soldiers who withdrew had returned to the defense line, but there were still more than 10,000 Ming soldiers still gathered outside the defense line, and they did not retreat into the defense line in time. Due to the impact of the rout, the soldiers of the Ming army who held the defensive line were even impulsed, and the first trench of the entire defensive line became precarious in an instant.
After defeating the Ming army's large array, Dai Shan and Zierharang all led their troops to stop at a distance of one mile from the Ming army's defense line, and the two rode their horses to observe the chaotic Ming army's defense line ahead. At this time, Li Dingguo was still leading the army to retreat, and it was less than a mile away from the army of Daishan and Jierharang.
Zilharang looked at it for a moment, and then said: "Prince Li, now that the Ming army is in chaos, it is a good time for us to attack, what are you waiting for?" Immediately overseer the army stormed, and the Yongning prison city could be defeated in one battle! ”
Dai Shan frowned and looked at it for a while, shook his head, and said, "No! Although the Ming army within the defense line has lost its command, the Ming army's defense line is very tight, and those three trenches are not something that our army can cross in a period of time. ”
Speaking of this, Dai Shan pointed to Li Dingguo's headquarters, which was about to arrive behind, and continued: "That general of the Ming army is about to lead the army to kill, if our army attacks the Ming army's defense line is unfavorable, it will fall into the situation of being attacked by the enemy on the back, so the gains outweigh the losses!" ”
After hearing this, Zilharang nodded and said: "Since this is the case, then let's divide our troops to attack, Prince Li will attack the Ming army's defense line, and this king will lead the army to attack the Ming army general!" ”
Zilharang looked up at the sky, and saw that it was already afternoon, so he continued: "Before evening, we will take down the Yongning Prison City, and let the warriors enter the city to have a good rest. ”
After saying that, Zilharang didn't care about Dai Shan's face, and went directly to rectify the army, and after a while, he led the army to kill backwards.
"Humph! Don't you just want to kill another general of the Ming army? Afraid that this king will steal the credit? This king, I'm afraid you're going to break your teeth! ”
Dai Shan sneered, and immediately reorganized the army and killed the Ming army defense line in front.
At this time, there were still more than 10,000 Ming soldiers in front of the Ming army's defense line who did not retreat, and they were still gathering in front of the defense line and making noise. These soldiers of the Ming army suddenly found that the Manchurian army was killing in this direction with the Red Banner Iron Cavalry Army, and they immediately panicked, and they all crowded at the entrance of the defense line, and even fought with each other, and the scene was almost out of control.
Dai Shan laughed when he saw this, and when the iron cavalry army rushed to a place fifty steps away from the Ming army's defense line, Dai Shan gave an order, and the 10,000 Manchurian Red Banner Iron Cavalry immediately drew an arc in front of the Ming army's defense line, divided into left and right columns, and rushed towards both sides.
Immediately afterwards, the rain of arrows like flying locusts fell on the entire Ming army defense line, especially the first trench was the target of the Qing army's iron cavalry, and the Ming soldiers gathered at the entrance were shot down by the rain of arrows captured by the Tartars, and the soldiers of the army suffered heavy casualties for a while.
In the absence of unified command, the Ming soldiers who held the defensive line were always in a situation of being passively beaten, and it didn't take long for them to hold on, and the Ming soldiers who stuck to the first trench began to flee and retreat towards the second trench. At the same time, the entire Ming defense line became precarious and the morale of the army was greatly moved with the rout of the defenders of the first trench.
Seeing this, Dai Shan was immediately overjoyed, and divided 3,000 iron cavalry to continue to suppress the Ming army with cavalry and shooting, and then mobilized the main army of the Manchu army with the Red Banner Iron Cavalry, a total of 11,000 people dismounted and fought on foot, and launched a comprehensive attack on the Ming army's defense line.
Those soldiers of the Ming army who gathered at the entrance of the defense line bore the brunt of the attack and became the first target of the Qing army, and they were slaughtered by more than 10,000 Manchu soldiers under the Red Banner Tartar in less than a moment of incense.
Stepping on the blood of the Ming soldiers, Dai Shan commanded the Manchu Army to rush into the Ming army's defense line, directly crossed the first trench, and then slammed into the second trench, and started a bloody battle with the defenders.
At this time, the defenders of the entire Ming defense line were demoralized, and because there was no unified command, even if the soldiers were heroic, they were fighting on their own, and they could not resist the onslaught of the Qing army at all.
Seeing that the situation was urgent, the musketeers and archers on the Yongning prison city all fought back, suppressing the onslaught of the Qing army to a certain extent, but it was only delaying time, the defense of the entire Ming army was already a definite defeat, and a complete rout was only a matter of time!
At the same time, Zilharang had already led the Manchu army with the blue flag and 10,000 heavy pikemen under Li Dingguo's command to engage in battle.
At this time, the armies of both sides were in a stalemate. Although the Tartar Iron Cavalry led by Zilharang was powerful, it was unable to find a breakthrough in the face of heavy spears like a jungle, and could only lead the army to keep circling and releasing arrows outside the Ming army's circle array, with little effect.
Li Dingguo was also anxious at this time, and after receiving the news of Liu Wenxiu's death, he immediately accelerated his march, but still did not withdraw to the defense line in time. At this time, the entire Ming army defense line was leaderless under the onslaught of the Daishan Department, and it could not hold out for long, and he was besieged by more than 10,000 Tartar cavalry and could not advance or retreat, and the situation could be described as very grim.
Li Dingguo knew very well in his heart that now he could only hold on to the spot, and he had no strength to go in at all. And how long can you hold on to the spot?
Looking at the defensive line and Yongning Prison City in the south, which were being stormed by the Qing army, Li Dingguo thought about it again and again, and finally made a bold decision.
"Soldiers! Instead of sitting and waiting, it is better to fight to the end! All the kings will attack for me and gallop to the aid of Yongning Prison City! ”
"Wan Sheng! Wansheng! Wansheng! ”
