Chapter 498: This battle is decided
Jianxiu should be in the north of Gao Jie's soldiers and horses, and Liu Fangliang and Liu Tichun are the retreat of the two Ming armies, but now Tian Jianxiu appeared in Liu Zongmin's camp with his own soldiers. /
General Liu Zongmin's face immediately became gloomy, and there was no need to ask about many things, Liu Zongmin immediately turned his head and shouted loudly to the soldiers around him:
"Hurry up and report to King Chuang, just say that General Tian is with me, remember, this matter can only be a secret report to King Chuang!!"
Liu Zongmin's personal soldiers also recognized Tian Jianxiu, so they naturally knew what this matter meant, so they hurriedly agreed solemnly, turned their horses and galloped in the direction of King Chuang.
The sky is getting dark, and the night battle, whether it is the Ming army or the Shun army, is unwilling to carry it out, but the pursuit is here, it is impossible not to fight, even if it is unwilling, it will be done.
The army of tens of thousands of people attacked, Liu Zongmin was only in the middle of the army, and the generals of the previous teams had already ordered his subordinates to start adding.
In fact, now the soldiers and horses of He Renlong and the other troops are only those who follow them, and all the foot soldiers are scattered or die in the chaos.
"Mr. Gao, open quickly!"
The louder the cavalry of the Ming army became, but there was still no movement behind the camp fence, but the movement of the banner torches all seemed to be making defensive arrangements.
The Ming army riders who were running in front gradually cooled down, and some people had begun to restrain their horses and slow down their horses, but more people were speeding up.
The pursuers behind them were like a monstrous wave. In front is the camp of his own friendly army. Die in the back or go to the front. This choice is easy to do.
Some of them are already very close as fast as they can. To be precise, in the range of artillery ground. There was a muffled sound first. Next is the first flash of the camp gate on the side of the Ming army. Then the earth shook and the mountains shook.
This era. The most powerful weapon is artillery. This instantly. Nearly 80 cannons were fired. Gao Jie, the general soldier of Yansui, did not have so many artillery.
The continuous roar of artillery silenced all the sounds on the battlefield. Cannonballs flew out of the ground. Tear apart all the flesh and blood that stood in front of it.
Despite the fact that there has been no heavy rain these days. The ground is also relatively damp and soft. The cannonball's U-plane will not bounce too far. The damage can still be extremely strong.
The cavalry running at the front were almost sparsely beaten by the artillery fire from this position. It did not affect the Ming officers and soldiers, and they all exclaimed. Hurriedly stopped the horses. The back is running too fast. The front slows down. This was in a hurry. It's bound to be a mess.
He Renlong and the rest of the general soldiers were all moving relatively fast, and they were surrounded by everyone, and they were not killed or injured by artillery fire, only Niu Chenghu was born in the militia group, and the supervisor was a civil official, and the two of them and their cronies had little experience when they fled to the place, thinking that it would be safe to run in front.
As soon as the cannon sounded just now, the whole team was completely disorganized, although they were not hit by the artillery, but the horses of the Governor Marquis were disturbed by the artillery, and they were directly carried off the horse.
There is still some distance between the Shunjun horse team behind, and the cavalry of these Ming troops is still a bit disciplined, and the Governor Hou fell down from his horse and lay on the ground, and the cavalry behind him controlled the horses to dodge, but no one was willing to stop and help, they were just a flash.
Supervisor Hou struggled to get up from the ground, he is still wearing the Inspector's robe, this thing is usually worn to look self-respecting, but in the mud is extremely inconvenient, struggled a few times, from the ground to get up with difficulty, Inspector Hou in the south of the Jingjiang River Wind and Snow Moon, the party and politics, after coming out, it is with the Shanxi General Soldier Xu Dingguo everywhere to search for soldiers and horses, preparing for the war, from Taiping to war, from victory to defeat, are too fast, there is almost no process.
At this point, he fell off his horse, got up and looked around, and no one cared about him, but in fact there were more places on the west side where there were no clouds.
The last rays of sunset and the light of the sky came and the light fell on everyone's side faces, which was actually quite a magnificent scene, but everyone was panicked and frightened, and everyone was desperate.
Hou entered the official career from the imperial examination, and he probably never thought that he would see this day, such a scene, and suddenly he felt very dazed.
His mount had already followed the other horses forward, and Niu Chenghu and the cavalry around him kept turning back in front, but in the end they gritted their teeth and didn't care about Hou here.
Seeing the countless cavalry around him dodge and pass by, but no one paid attention to it, Hou stayed there for a while, and suddenly fell to the ground softly, howling and crying, this is also an important minister in the court, at this time, he has completely forgotten what manners and manners, forgot what glory and wealth, and sat there crying and crying.
"It's over, it's over, this world is over, Daming is over."
At first, the crying could still be heard, but in the chaos of the army, not everyone could control the horses, and everyone was willing to hide from an old man who was crying in the mud. Dawsh
, the cry disappeared, and I didn't pay attention to it, and a court of the court died like this.
The few general soldiers in front didn't care, He Renlong slowed down his horse, stared at the big flag on the camp fence, and scolded at the other side:
"Gao Jie, you rabbit cub, you are actually ruthless with Lao Tzu, you think that your turtle shell is shrunk over there, and the blind man will not clean you up, do you think that the green hat is so easy to pick up!"
He scolded a few words hatefully, the third round of artillery had been fired over there, and some of them couldn't hold back and came to the front, and there were a number of dead and wounded, He Renlong sent people to find several other general soldiers, and at the same time arranged the soldiers below to turn around, and shouted loudly:
"Hurry up and turn around, the road ahead is impassable, it's going to get dark, let's fight with this blind man!!"
After a few rounds of shelling, who has no illusions, no matter what happened in Gao Jiedi's camp, the pursuers are behind without cover.
Xu Dingguo, the chief soldier of Shanxi, also scolded a few words, but when he stopped his horses and sent his own soldiers to restrain the soldiers and horses, he still asked a few words about Hou's whereabouts.
After his soldiers said that they didn't know, he didn't continue to ask, it was not easy to take care of himself at the moment, anyway, this is the situation.
But what can I do now, I have planned to break and flee before, from the general soldier to the pawn, no one has any fighting intentions in my heart, and now I can't run, but I turn around again and prepare to fight desperately, put myself to death and then live, the trapped beast still fights these things can't be paid attention to at all, and it is actually desperate to wait for death.
But running to the location close to the county also has an advantage, that is, there are more roads on both sides that can escape, although they are all small roads, which are not suitable for the movement of large groups of people.
If it really comes to the time when you can only take care of your own life, the luck of being able to escape by a single horse along the path is not small, but for these high-ranking generals, if they escape like that, it is almost the same as death.
Moreover, in today's chaotic situation, if you go out alone, you will easily be harmed by a small group of thieves or even a small group of routs.
can take these pro-soldiers and family members to go, this is the capital to start a business, and when the time comes, the court will have to give a position, and you can rely on these people to regain in the place.
What Xu Dingguo thought was similar to what He Renlong and Bai Guangen had planned, but it was just a small plan in a desperate situation, Xu Dingguo was not even willing to take care of the formation of his subordinates, anyway, there were not many cavalry, it was nothing more than gathering together to prepare for hedging.
The following family members are also calm, their own generals raise them with sufficient food and pay on weekdays, and their status is far higher than those ordinary soldiers who look like beggars, many of them use the same surname as the general, the same clan and the same clan, so they raise and practice, that is, in order to live and die together at a critical time, and charge into battle.
The general soldier Xu Dingguo is a little unwilling, he has been watching the Di Bao Tang Bao for the past few years, today the general soldier was martyred in the war thief, and the general died in the Tartars tomorrow, but he didn't expect that it would be his turn today.
It was getting late, and the Gaojie camp in the north had become a dark silhouette, and the general soldier Xu Dingguo suddenly felt a dry throat, swallowed and foamed, and saw the big flag erected in the Gaojie camp unfolded by the wind.
It was almost the last day light shining on the flag, and I could see that the flag was red on a black background, but I couldn't see what the red letters looked like.
Gao Jie's banner is the style of the general soldier, but it is not red on a black background, Xu Dingguo has heard the banner of this style, and then think about the rapid and dense artillery fire of Fang Cai, Xu Dingguo, the chief soldier of Shanxi, was suddenly excited, maybe he was saved, but then he became even more depressed than Fang Cai.
This vague glimpse of the banner made Xu Dingguo completely lose hope, he lowered his head for a while, listening to the rumbling hooves that were getting closer and closer not far away.
Xu Dingguo raised his head and beckoned to the pro-soldier leader beside him, this person was his cousin, a real confidant, and after approaching, he said directly:
"Wait for the next fight, you call a few henchmen, let's run from the west together, go to Baofeng, there is no ...... fight here"
The leader of the pro-soldiers understood this, and was stunned for a moment, then nodded.
Liu Zongmin had already sent someone to restrain the Shunjun horse team under his command, don't let the horse go too fast, Tian Jianxiu next to him could still maintain a little calm, and what he said was still organized, but the more Liu Zongmin listened: = frightened, he almost wanted to stop the entire team, and immediately turned around.
At this time, I saw more than a dozen captains rushing towards this side, looking at their uniforms and banners, this is the old battalion guards around King Chuang, and they all come out on behalf of King Chuang's order.
Sure enough, the person in front of him held the token of King Chuang and shouted loudly:
"King Chuang has an order, the army is moving forward, annihilating the troops and horses commanded by Ming Dog He Renlong, Xu Dingguo, and Bai Guangen, and the battle is broken, there must be no mistake!!" ——
