Chapter 9 Hao Shaoqi's plan

The Guanning army under Zu Dashou is still a good army in the Ming army sequence. Of course, this kind of combat power is good, and it is also relative to other armies.

If the Guanning Army is the elite of the Ming Army, then the Guangning Iron Cavalry is the elite of the Ming Army. Of course, the scope of this Ming army definitely does not include the Jiang family's army.

The Dashun army led by Zhu Dakui soon collided with this Guanning Iron Cavalry Thousand People.

As soon as they first met, both sides who were full of confidence in themselves felt that the other party was not as weak as they imagined, and both sides had a lot of damage after a face-to-face.

Zhu Dakui also followed Li Zicheng out of Shaanzhou, and when he saw that this Ming army was hard, he was also ruthless, screaming and killing fiercely, and his old camp brothers also played a real fire.

As a result, the thousand-strong team of the Ming army could not be parried, and began to show signs of collapse.

Hao Shaoqi, who was behind, saw that this small army of the Ming army did not collapse at the slightest touch, and felt that he couldn't get over his face, so he rushed over with the main force with a roar.

The commander of the Ming army, who led the team, saw that 50,000 people were fighting 1,000 people, how could he fight this, so he immediately turned around and ran.

As soon as he ran, the rest of the cavalry followed suit.

As soon as the main general ran, the morale of the entire team collapsed instantly, and there was no intention to fight. The slow ones behind were immediately overwhelmed by the Dashun army.

By the time they ran back, there were less than three hundred of the 1,000 people left.

Looking at the embarrassed cavalry commander, Qi Wentai's face twitched, as soon as he took over the Guan Ning Army, he immediately lost the battle, and he was so embarrassed that he couldn't help but turn his head to look at the mountain armor next to him.

Shanjia looked at the distance with a clairvoyant mirror for a while, and praised the task of this commander for a good job and let him go down to rest.

This commander was stunned, not only did he not punish him for losing the battle, but he was also praised, this style of painting is wrong. Thinking of the rumors, even the chief soldier Zu Dashou and Wu Sangui's uncle and nephew were killed by King Qin, and there is no reason why such a defeated general should not be punished!

He looked at Shanjia in a daze for a long time, and didn't dare to retreat, so he had to continue to kneel and beg for mercy: "The last general was unfavorable in the first battle, and the soldiers were lost, and the general was asked to punish the crime." ”

Not only was this commander stunned, but even Qi Wentai next to him was a little inexplicable. However, he looked at the mountain armor and vaguely understood the meaning of the mountain armor in his heart.

"General Ben said, you are not only innocent, but meritorious, go down and rest." Shanjia laughed, ignored him, and turned to the herald behind him to give a few orders.

After the herald waved the big flag a few times towards the pass, the entire Shanhaiguan suddenly sounded the whining desolate horn horn.

With the sound of bullhorns, groups of black-armored cavalry rushed out of the city gate and began to line up in the open space outside the gate.

Here, after Zhu Dakui led people to kill the backward cavalry of the Guanning Army, he continued to follow the fleeing Guanning Army and chased after Shanhaiguan.

This guy wanted to make a meritorious start, so while slapping the war horse under his crotch, he shouted loudly for his subordinates to follow and chase wildly, and soon left Hao Shaoqi's main force behind.

Hao Shaoqi saw that Zhu Dakui was chasing too fast, and hurriedly followed with the cavalry.

Although he was arrogant, he also knew that with the thousands of people under Zhu Dakui, there was no way to take Shanhaiguan.

Especially the performance of these Ming soldiers just now still had some combat effectiveness, which made Hao Shaoqi become a little more cautious.

In this way, Hao Shaoqi's 50,000 horses were divided into three parts.

Zhu Dakui ran in front with a thousand people, and Hao Shaoqi chased in the middle with thousands of cavalry. The infantry and the recruits in the back ran forward on two legs, and the two-legged ones definitely couldn't outrun the four-legged ones, so they were quickly left behind.

After chasing, Hao Shaoqi also flashed a thought in his heart: Did the Ming cavalry just now come to lure the enemy?

But when he thought about it, he denied it. Because judging from the performance of those people, it doesn't look like a fake at all.

Whether it is to lure the enemy or really retreat, Hao Shaoqi is confident that he still knows in his heart after so many years of fighting.

Leaving this thought behind, Hao Shaoqi ordered the people behind him to follow while continuing to chase after Zhu Dakui.

He didn't worry about the infantry behind, he was only worried that Zhu Dakui would rush too quickly and suffer losses. Before he came out, he swore in front of Li Zicheng that he patted his chest and promised that he could successfully take Shanhaiguan. If the casualties are too great, it will be difficult to account for them when they go back.

Although Li Zicheng now claims to have an army of one million, anyone with a discerning eye knows what's going on. Li Zicheng's real core combatants are tens of thousands of old battalion soldiers and horses, and the rest are homeless people or Ming soldiers who have been coerced.

No matter how many of these displaced people and surrendered soldiers die, Li Zicheng will not feel distressed. But if the brothers of the old camp suffered too many casualties, then Li Zicheng would definitely punish himself.

So he must not let Zhu Dakui's men suffer.

But Zhu Dakui ran too fast, and in a blink of an eye, he exceeded several miles, and after turning a corner on the official road, he couldn't see it.

"This two-ball, running so fast to eat his aunt's milk. Wait until I come back to see Lao Tzu and then clean him up. Hao Shaoqi scolded in his mouth, and ordered to speed up and continue to chase.

But at this time, he suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves rushing towards him in front of him, and his heart suddenly became alert, and he ordered his horse to be on guard.

The sound of horses' hooves was getting closer and closer, and soon a group of cavalry rushed out from the bend, and one by one they rushed towards them in a disorganized manner.

Hao Shaoqi fixed his eyes and saw that these people looked very familiar, weren't they the old camp brothers who followed Zhu Dakui to hunt down the remnants of the Ming army just now? But looking at their current appearance, it doesn't look like they're chasing and killing others, but like they're being chased and killed later.

Could it be that the Ming army fought back? Zu Dashou actually had such courage?

Hao Shaoqi was puzzled, those chaotic soldiers had already rushed to the front, and when they saw Hao Shaoqi, they all cried and shouted.

"General, it's not good, Boss Zhu is dead, the enemy is chasing after him, let's run!"

It was one of Zhu Dakui's henchmen who spoke, rushed to Hao Shaoqi, rolled off the horse, stumbled, and looked panicked, as if he had seen a ghost.

"What the hell is going on? Make it clear to Lao Tzu, and then talk nonsense, Lao Tzu slaughtered your porcelain hammer! Hao Shaoqi was furious, grabbed the man's collar and asked loudly.

"I, when we chased over, we met another group of centaurs, all dressed in black and armor, just like the soldiers of the black-faced Lord Yama. Boss Zhu rushed over with someone, but as soon as he saw his face, he chopped off his head, and many brothers also ended up in the same way. The rest of us ran fast to get a life back. General, run, these people are too powerful, we are no match at all......"

The man said what happened to them in a panic, and when he heard it, Hao Shaoqi's face became darker and darker, and with a wave of his hand, he cut off the man's head with a knife.

The man's head flew out, but the expression on his face froze, both panicked and a little disbelievable, as if he didn't believe that Hao Shaoqi would kill him.

Hao Shaoqi kicked the man's body away, raised the long knife with blood in the air, and shouted: "Brothers, kill with Lao Tzu!" ”

The group of old camp brothers behind him also screamed, and the crowd was surging.

At this time, the sound of horses' hooves, which was more dense and hurried, came closer and closer, and rushed towards them.

Soon, from the bend, a black-clothed and black-armored horse rushed out, and even the war horse under his crotch was a black cavalryman.

After this cavalry appeared, more cavalry in the same costume jumped behind him.

Almost instantly, Hao Shaoqi's vision was covered with black.

Black horse. For those who are black, only the long knife in the hand of the person is shiny.

They were like a group of ghost knights from hell, and after they appeared, they looked at Hao Shaoqi and others with the kind of eyes that looked at the dead.
