Chapter 572: The death of Tian Jianxiu
Tian Jianxiu, who has always occupied an important position in the Dashun army, no longer has even the most basic courtesy, righteousness and shame left at this time, and seeing Wu Sangui and Guan Ning's cavalry approaching step by step, the only thing left in his mind is how to save his life.
Even at this time, he regretted a little why he followed the rebel army to start an incident, if he was a farmer in Shaanxi, maybe there would be no such thing as today.
Wu Sangui sneered when he heard it, first waved his hand to signal the soldiers behind him not to interfere, and then stepped off the horse and walked forward step by step, and said jokingly:
"Tian Jianxiu, when you shot my father, you should have thought of today's ending and suffer death!"
After he finished speaking, he rushed over brandishing a big knife, obviously not wanting to talk nonsense, he only wanted revenge, and the soldiers behind him would not worry, because they were confident in Wu Sangui's skills.
Facts have proved that these Guanning cavalry were very right.
Wu Sangui dismounted and rode in steps, but in fact, he was full of ridicule for Tian Jianxiu, watching Tian Jianxiu rush over on horseback, unflustered, his eyes stared, and suddenly he swung a powerful knife sideways.
However, Tian Jianxiu has followed Li Zicheng for many years, occupies an important position in the army, and his skills are naturally not weak.
At the moment when the mount screamed, Tian Jianxiu jumped up with the last trace of horsepower, and took a few steps back in the shallow river water, barely steady, his eyes full of fear.
Wu Sangui didn't give him any respite, he hurried up a few steps, and slashed Huashan with one move, Tian Jianxiu saw that the powerful long knife in his hand was hard to resist, and he could only flash to the side.
But the next moment, Wu Sangui laughed out loud and said:
"Mountain Harrier, this time you can't escape with your wings, just grab it!"
The mountain harrier was Tian Jianxiu's nickname before he followed Li Zicheng, and when he shouted it at such a time, it was actually Wu Sangui's own mind to play with the other party.
Tian Jianxiu was shocked, but he had been forced to have no way to retreat, and there was nowhere to hide, so he roared and swung his knife to attack Wu Sangui's chassis.
Unexpectedly, Wu Sangui's right-hand pillar knife turned over in the water to dodge the knife, and without waiting for Tian Jianxiu to react, he swung the knife and slashed it again.
This knife went straight to Tian Jianxiu's head with a thunderous momentum, and he was still hesitating, and when he suddenly heard the wind, he also got up and barely dodged it.
Tian Jianxiu was still rejoicing, and before he could make the next move, Wu Sangui raised the long knife horizontally, and hit Tian Jianxiu in the head at the end of the knife.
Tian Jianxiu, who was beaten upright, only felt that the sky was dark at this time, and he kept screaming, and he couldn't even stand on his feet.
The two fought on foot for about three or five moves, but in fact, it didn't take long for Tian Jianxiu to be hit in the head by Wu Sangui, and one stumbled and fell into the water, but Wu Sangui didn't hesitate, and he was about to cut it off with a knife.
But at this time, there was a commotion among the soldiers who stayed behind, and Wu Sangui and Tian Jianxiu clearly heard the sound of galloping horses' hooves from behind, as well as the sound of shouting and killing that was gradually approaching.
Abatai led the remnants of the Zhenglan Banner Manchurian cavalry to rush in, and Wu Sangui's personal soldiers left in the rear to fight together, because the Manchurian cavalry is numerous, and it is already a battle of trapped beasts, and it is led by Abatai himself, the Guanning cavalry can not resist at all.
They were just like the Dashun cavalry of Fangcai, who were cut down and dismounted by the other party one after another in the constant screams.
"Wu Sangui, the pigtail soldiers are here, you spare me, there will be -"
Tian Jianxiu looked back at Wu Sangui, but in fact, he didn't have the intention of taking the opportunity to escape or attack, and felt that even if he attacked secretly, he would not have half a chance of winning against Wu Sangui, but hoped that the other party could spare his life regardless of the overall situation.
But although Wu Sangui is brave, he is not a person who can pay attention to the overall situation and morality at all.
Tian Jianxiu's words could only make him think that there was an enemy behind him who had not been killed, and the first thing he did when he turned around was to use ten percent of his strength to hack Tian Jianxiu to death, and there was no wavering in it.
The corpse gushing with blood fell weakly in the pool of water, and Tian Jianxiu's words begging for mercy came to an abrupt end halfway, and the general of the Dashun army, who followed Li Zicheng's southern expedition to the north, died tragically in the hands of Wu Sangui without the ability to resist.
At this time, the rear was in chaos, and the Guanning cavalry had been routed by the Qing troops.
Wu Sangui understood that it was too late for him to go back immediately, and Tian Jianxiu's head was too late to retract, so he could only turn over the enemy's seat and flee to the south alone.
When he fled, Wu Sangui did not regret his decision to come out to pursue Tian Jianxiu, even if he killed and injured hundreds of brothers in Guan Ning's army.
"It's not good, Wu Sangui wants to escape!"
Abatai was overjoyed when he saw Wu Sangui kill Tian Jianxiu, and ordered Taiji to put away Tian Jianxiu's head, and chased after him with more than a dozen horses.
"Hurry, hurry, drive-"
Although Tian Jianxiu is a general in the Dashun army, his mount is really not very good, not to mention his short legs, and even his foot strength is very different from Wu Sangui's own mount.
No matter how hard Wu Sangui urged, the speed of the mount did not increase but decreased, listening to the heavy wheezing sound below, Wu Sangui, who had been fighting on horseback for a long time, frowned, knowing that this horse could not hold out for long.
"Whoosh~"
At this moment, the Manchurian cavalry of the Blue Banner chasing in the rear seemed to be impatient, and under the order of Abatai, they skillfully opened their bows and arrows, and a rapid rain of arrows came from afar.
The distance between the two sides is only a dozen paces, and it is gradually getting closer, these cavalry have experienced a hundred battles, and riding and archery is the most basic skill, although they can't accurately hit Wu Sangui, but they are nine out of ten sure when they shoot his mount.
The horse, which was already at the end of the crossbow, was hit continuously, constantly letting out a mournful scream, and finally tripped and fell on a stone in front of him with weak energy, throwing Wu Sangui out.
It's a good Wu Sangui, at the same time as he fell, he actually rolled backwards, and cut off the legs of the mount that rushed to the front of Abatai.
Abatai didn't expect Wu Sangui to make such a move, he was defenseless at all, and he was suddenly turned into a dog and eaten, eating a mouthful of ash, and screaming angrily.
"Wu Sangui, even if the Heavenly King Lao Tzu is here today, you won't be able to escape!"
"Who said I was going to run!?"
Wu Sangui roared angrily, saw the Manchurian cavalry swinging his sword, did not retreat but advanced, stretched out his right hand to hold the opponent's broadsword, and used the strength of nine oxen and two tigers to drag the Manchurian cavalry off the horse.
Immediately after, Wu Sangui rushed down with the long knife, turned over his horse, and rushed straight to Abatai.
Along the way, there were seven or eight Manchurian Blue Banner cavalry, seeing Wu Sangui rushing over, they all turned their horses' heads and shouted to meet them.
Wu Sangui won the mount, knowing that the catastrophe was coming, that is, he rose up bravely, viciously and viciously, and successively killed nine Manchurian cavalry of the Blue Banner, including three Abatai's cronies Niu Lu.
However, Abatai still had eight horsemen and a battle-hardened Zhenglan Qitaiji by his side, although Wu Sangui was so brave, but these Manchurian cavalry were not afraid and urged the horses to gather and kill.
