Chapter 1006: Meeting on a Narrow Road
readx; Yes, Zhu Youzhen dreamed of this scene in his previous life. www.biquge.info The same is that the Houjin army is under the city of the Later Jin Army, and the same is that he personally led 3,000 cavalry to meet the enemy; the difference is that in the dream, he is killing from the city, and now he is going to break through the enemy's resistance and retreat to the city. In the dream, he not only has martial arts to protect the world, but also has a protective shield to protect his body, and he is only awakened by a knife; But now I have nothing, and there are dozens of mule carts full of artillery, which is a big burden, and it's over, it's completely over!
Take a detour? The Flying Pigeon Sends a Book to Call for Reinforcements in the City? It's too late. Defend in place? It is also not feasible, there is no danger to defend here, as long as the Houjin army keeps releasing arrows, and after most of their casualties are charged, they can annihilate all the Ming army.
Abandon the mule cart and run away? More unlikely! These artillery, carrying the hope of victory in the defense of the Beijing Division, is more likely to be exchanged for the lives of Hao Yongzhong and 500 soldiers, how can they be given to the enemy!
Zhu Youzhen looked back at his soldiers, although they were already exhausted, but when the enemy suddenly attacked, none of them fled timidly, and they all looked at him with resolute eyes, waiting for the order to fight. Zhu Youzhen knew that they saw the same thing in their own eyes!
At this moment, Zhu Youzhen had already made a decision. This is a hand-to-hand, hard-to-fight, life-and-death battle, there is no way back, there is no choice! Rushing over is victory, and if you can't rush over, the road to reconquering the world will end here!
"Choke!"
Zhu Youzhen pulled out the traceless sword with all his might, raised it to the sky, and roared at all the soldiers: "Get on the horse and prepare for battle!" ”
In addition to more than 100 soldiers guarding the mule cart, more than 2,000 cavalry quickly lined up, and the swords and guns glowed with a little cold light in the sun. Although they set out from Jingshi with a small number of firearms, they were used for long-range sniping under special circumstances, and they were of little use on the battlefield of the current cavalry duel.
Zhu Youzhen galloped to the front of the line, raised his sword and struck the weapons of the soldiers in the front row one by one to boost morale. Suddenly, he noticed that Anna, Qiu Lina, and the Red Lady had also changed into armor at some point, and the three of them each rode a tall Andalusian warhorse, mixed in the middle of the group, and also clenched their weapons with both hands, looking nervously and resolutely ahead.
Zhu Youzhen wanted them to withdraw from the queue immediately, but then he thought about it, there were no eggs under the nest, if this battle was lost, would they not be the same as death? Therefore, the words came to his lips and swallowed back, just looking at the three of them affectionately. The three of them smiled faintly at him, and their smiles were full of courage and confidence.
Zhu Youzhen's arrogance increased greatly, and he returned to the middle of the queue and raised his arms and shouted: "The Tartars occupy my territory, plunder my assets, kill my father, and my sisters, and want to kill my Chinese nation. Now that the Jingshi is in sight, the Tartars are coming to block the way again, what do you say to do? ”
"Defend the saint, swear to kill the enemy, and serve the country loyally!" More than 2,000 cavalry roared in unison, and the sound shook the sky!
"I will kill the enemy with you!" Zhu Youzhen turned his horse's head, facing the Houjin army who was waiting hundreds of steps away, and said word by word, "When you meet on a narrow road, the brave wins!" There is no advance or retreat in this battle, dog Tartar, fight with you! ”
After talking about the strength of his legs, the jujube red horse understood and began to charge slowly. All the soldiers behind him also shouted in unison, "Fight with you", and then turned into a black torrent, followed Zhu Youzhen without hesitation, and launched a decisive attack on the Houjin army!
Soon, Zhu Youzhen was caught up and surpassed by the soldiers behind him. It wasn't that he deliberately slowed down, but that his horsemanship was far from catching up with the well-trained cavalry of the 3,000 battalions. And of course, the soldiers also guarded the emperor with the intention of death, Anna and the red lady were close to Zhu Youzhen's red horse on the left and right, and Qiu Lina was on guard against the bow and arrow shooting at Zhu Youzhen in front of the side.
Three years ago, Zhu Youzhen had also fought alongside Qiu Lina, but at that time they were guarding Zunhua City, and Qiu Lina and Bao Yulian carried a pot of boiling water and poured it on the Mongols. He really didn't expect that this seemingly weak Russian girl would have the courage to charge into battle on a war horse!
"Your Majesty, be careful!" Anna let out a sharp exhalation, interrupting Zhu Youzhen's thoughts. When I looked up, the rain of arrows was already falling!
Compared with the Ming army, the biggest advantage of the Later Jin army was cavalry shooting. The yellow flag is one of the three flags, and its combat effectiveness is also superior in the Houjin army. This entry operation, everywhere he went, was like a bamboo, and it also fueled the pride of the soldiers in the banner.
The leading general of this cavalry with a yellow flag was none other than the general Aobai, known as the "No. 1 Warrior of Manchuria".
Since the last battle of the Daling River, the white-armored soldiers led by Ao Bai were blown up by the Ming army with a grenade, and he himself was injured and almost died in the chaos.
Prior to this, Ao Bai had gone through hundreds of battles, big and small, and had never fought so badly. Therefore, he regarded the battle of Da Linghe as a great shame, and he was thinking about revenge all the time.
This time, Huang Taiji waved his master into the customs, and Ao Bai just came back from injury. Originally, Shangsanqi was supposed to act with the Great Khan Emperor Taiji, but he was eager for revenge and meritorious service, and every time he led the army alone to rush to the forefront, and the Zunhua Massacre was his "masterpiece".
As soon as the heavy rain ended in the middle of last night, the impatient Ao Bai led 3,000 cavalry with yellow flags to Tongzhou. Unexpectedly, he also went in the wrong direction in the dark night, and he suddenly bypassed Tongzhou and came here, which is really a narrow road.
He didn't know that those mule carts were carrying artillery, and he didn't know that the Ming Emperor Zhu Youzhen was on the other side, but he felt that the Ming army had slightly fewer troops than himself, and it was effortless to destroy the other party. Therefore, he didn't bother to go around in circles to raid those bulky mule carts, but commanded his subordinates to immediately launch a counter-charge against the Ming cavalry, trying to defeat the Ming army in one fell swoop by virtue of the absolute superiority of cavalry and archery.
This can be regarded as a blessing in misfortune, if the Houjin army sacrifices the tactics of "flying kites" and "hide and seek", mobilizes the Ming army everywhere, and then waits for the opportunity to raid the mule cart, then this batch of artillery will be completely finished.
Rao is so, facing head-on, the Ming army is still not the opponent of the Houjin army. Although the more than 2,000 cavalry were all experienced Qin soldiers and were already the most elite troops in the Ming army, they were all light cavalry, and compared with the heavy armored cavalry such as the Guanning Iron Cavalry, their protection against bows and arrows was much worse. In the first round of arrow rain alone, hundreds of cavalrymen fell from their horses!
Especially in the Chinese army where Zhu Youzhen was, in order to protect the emperor, the surrounding soldiers desperately dialed the arrows shot at Zhu Youzhen, but they themselves frequently hit the arrows in order to protect the emperor. Seeing that in order to protect themselves, one by one the fresh lives were shot through the body by sharp arrows, fell from the war horses, and then were trampled by the galloping war horses behind them, Zhu Youzhen's heart was dripping blood, and his eyes were about to burst!
"I'm going to fuck you!"
Zhu Youzhen gritted his teeth and took off the short bow from his back, and shot the arrow forward. In fact, his archery skills are not brilliant at all, but at this time, he is like a madman, he doesn't care about anything, just pours his anger on the sharp arrow, and shoots an arrow at the enemy!
