Chapter 35: Breakthrough (1)

In the fourth year of Chongzhen, the second month of Renzi (the eighth day of the first month), the rogues in the security city had a careful rest the day before. On the ninth day of the first month, everyone suddenly rushed out of the security city and launched a rapid attack on the officials and troops outside the city.

As a striker, it is the famous Ru who is quite domineering under Shen Yikui, but he is very brave and good at fighting. Now that the enemy is present, Shen Yikui can only plan to send the strongest combat power under his command at this time.

Killed with Ru Chengming, there were also three hundred elite foot soldiers selected from various leaders in the city. This time, the thieves learned the lesson of the last time, and the most elite vanguards, in addition to being all old bandits who are accustomed to fighting, their combat missions have also been strictly divided.

The Ming army outside the city felt very strange that the thieves did not use cavalry as the vanguard, and they could only send three rounds of arrows to test the attack. However, under the protection of the elite shields and armor of the thieves, the shooting of the officers and soldiers did not achieve much results.

Ru became famous outside the city, and he didn't care about the two defeats last month. Wearing strong armor and carrying a shield, he almost ignored the arrows fired by the Ming army, and rushed directly into Zhang Yingchang's military formation on the opposite side in one breath. Ru Chengming broke into the position, and the formation of the officers and soldiers in the department immediately wavered.

Ru Chengming, who entered the battle, relied on his own martial arts and quickly defeated a group of infantry and village warriors in Zhang Yingchang's formation. After that, many rogue subordinates rushed out, and they were more than 300 elite foot soldiers who followed the pioneer Ru to become famous. They bravely launched a fierce attack on the front line of the Ming army, and the soldiers of the official army were constantly cut down.

The Ming army, which responded in the rear, found that the thieves out of the city were unstoppable, so they could only hurriedly step forward to support and stabilize the position. And Zhang Yingchang's family members were in charge of containing the defeated soldiers and bringing them to the rear for rectification again.

At this time, Zuo Guangxian led the cavalry of the official army to launch a flank attack again, and he tried to repeat his glory from last month. However, the rogues in Baoan City did not give him a chance, Zhang Mengguang and other leaders with excellent riding skills rushed out with the cavalry team in Baoan City, and they were directly entangled with Zuo Guangxian's cavalry.

Other brigades in the security city also rushed out one after another, and they could only hope to get into a melee with the officers and soldiers without passing the unified training. The idea of the thieves is simple, they intend to defeat their opponents directly during this period of their morale.

It's just that the officers and troops are not muddy, and after the initial chaos, they quickly stabilized their positions, and gradually broke back the situation under the leadership of several Ming army generals. The thieves and the officers and soldiers fought each other, and the situation on the battlefield suddenly fell into a complicated and chaotic battle.

Everyone was counting on defeating their opponents, but the bandit leaders in the city insisted on not throwing in the last reserves. Because Du Wenhuan, the enemy's Chinese army, also led the last elite troops at this time and waited for the change of the situation. And they are waiting for reinforcements from the north, and the time is almost up.

However, there are also keen bandit leaders who have found that there seems to be a small number of officers and troops outside the city, and most of them are going to defend the rescue troops in the north.

In fact, it is true, at this time, He Huchen is leading the team to block the cavalry team killed from Ningsai. The officers and soldiers of Ningxia Town were surprised to find that they were not dealing with the fragile rogue cavalry, but the fierce nomadic archers who rode horses outside the mouth. Fortunately, He Huchen was prepared, and he commanded the soldiers of Ningxia Town to reach a stalemate with the attacking Mongol cavalry with the help of the fortifications dug in advance.

Returning to the outside of Baoan City, Du Wenhuan, who was in charge of the Chinese army at this time, got a report from He Huchen in the rear. The fact that the Liukou actually colluded with the Mongols to commit crimes is indeed a relatively serious problem. Fortunately, He Huchen's preparations are substantial, and they can still hold on to it.

Du Wenhuan looked at the thieves who had launched another onslaught, and he planned to make some action at the right time. Therefore, he decided to leave his banner and most of his men in the Chinese military camp, and he only took a small group of elite Jiading troops to the battlefield where the front troops fought to support.

When Du Wenhuan finally had a move, the Liukou reserves in the security city did not notice this small change, and they were a little naïve to think that Du Wenhuan was still sticking to the Chinese army and waiting for the change in the battle situation.

……

Ru Chengming smashed the head of a Ming soldier in front of him with the copper fist in his hand, and the spikes of the copper fist shattered the skull. Blood and brains splattered out, and a lot of them were sprayed on Ru Chengming's face. It's just that this bloody scene didn't scare Ru Chengming, but he became even more bloodthirsty.

Ru Chengming first licked the blood mixed with his brain with his tongue, and then he grinned and pulled out his copper fist vigorously. The bloody murder weapon swept its path, throwing out some of the broken bones, blood, and brains that it was carrying.

An officer and soldier spearman standing in front of Ru Chengming witnessed everything, and he seemed to be completely frightened by Ru Chengming's evil ghost. The deranged soldier immediately dropped his weapon and ran to the safety of the rear with a loud scream.

Ru, who was killing the rise of the Ru Fame, did not have time to catch up, and as a result, this lost fighting spirit of the enemy army. A sharp arrow shot from the rear of an officer and army flew over and shot it past with Ru Chengming's iron hat. A piece of armor nailed to his leather hat was also knocked away by the arrow.

Ru Chengming didn't care about this matter, and whispered in his mouth: "I am the second grandson of the third prince of the Northern Heavenly King Vasil Ramanarakan. ”

Ru Chengming, who has the belief of the Heavenly King, almost used his highest speed to rush towards the Ming army of a Wu after that. In his high-speed movement, Ru Chengming first used the shield in his left hand to open the spear that pierced him. After getting close to the commander of the Ming army, he smashed the bronze fist in his hand at the enemy again.

Looking at Ru Chengming's crazy attack method, the commander of the officer and army only had time to move his head back a little. Then he found the bronze fist smashed into his collarbone, and his last thought in the world was to feel that his wound hurt.

The killing of his own commander deeply shocked the other four Ming soldiers present, and they did not dare to step forward to deal with this strong enemy for a while. But in the end, they had to fight, and the powerful warrior on the opposite side rushed up again, and the officers and soldiers could only grit their teeth and kill them.

Ru Chengming's attack failed to achieve results this time, and he was instead whipped on his shield by the enemy's big stick. Ru Chengming, who lost his balance, took a few steps back, and tripped over the corpse of the Ming army commander he had just killed. However, he was not worried, and at this time, Ru Chengming also caught up with several thieves' foot soldiers.

These guards were very conscientious, and they rushed forward to fight with several Ming troops on the opposite side. Ru Chengming took advantage of the momentary time to stand up again, and while whispering silently the "Northern Bishamen Heavenly King's Ritual of Protecting the Dharma with the Army", he cooperated with several subordinates and killed these Ming soldiers one after another.

The surrounding Ming troops saw that Ru Chengming was unmatched, and they all stayed timidly and did not dare to approach. As soon as they noticed that the bandit was approaching them, they repeatedly retreated to avoid each other. The wavering officers and soldiers led the other Ming army positions, and the Ming army's formation was like an ever-expanding ripple, and the chaos was constantly expanding at this time.
