Chapter 494: Fatalism (3)
As early as when the artillery battalion began to attack, Liu Tiehan was ready for everything, and the soldiers of the 5,000 scout battalion and the pro-soldier battalion led by him were gearing up, and the only task was to capture Gao Yingxiang alive.
When He Renlong and Sun Chuanting attacked, Liu Tiehan led all the soldiers and soldiers, still on standby, he has always paid attention to Gao Yingxiang and Gao Yingxiang's personal soldiers, in the process of fighting, Gao Yingxiang's personal soldiers showed a certain combat effectiveness, under heavy surroundment, they were able to protect Gao Yingxiang and break out of the encirclement.
Around the battlefield, countless torches illuminated the surroundings, but after the encirclement was highlighted, the surroundings began to darken, and it was not very clear to see.
This point has just become Liu Tiehan's advantage.
When the scout battalion and the pro-soldier battalion were trained, there was a special training, that is, the training of eyesight, how to be able to see the path clearly and find the target in the dark, which now comes in handy.
Although there was some darkness around, everyone was prepared, in order to avoid unnecessary casualties, first of all, of course, it was necessary to fire bows and arrows to kill Gao Yingxiang's personal soldiers to the greatest extent.
Slowly, Gao Yingxiang came over with his own soldiers, and there were some sergeants who stood out from the encirclement.
These people can be regarded as the elite strength of the Liukou, and they can fight their way out of the encirclement in the middle of the Jiangning camp, which shows that the basic quality is good, and if these people escape, it will be really a big trouble.
Liu Tiehan thought of Su Tiancheng's words, these people are like tinder, if they can't be completely extinguished, it is tantamount to letting the tiger return to the mountain, they will soon be able to organize a team and form a new gangster.
The truth that the thief captures the king first has penetrated into the hearts of the soldiers of the scout battalion and the pro-soldier battalion.
Seeing Gao Yingxiang and the others, they entered the encirclement arranged by the scout camp and the pro-soldier camp.
Liu Tiehan raised his hand. Gestures for archery were made.
Breaking through the encirclement and paying heavy casualties, there are less than 2,000 people left in Gao Yingxiang's personal soldiers, and more than 1,000 people died in artillery fire and fighting. This is a very heavy loss, you must know that Lu Dao, most of these pro-soldiers are following him, since the beginning of the rebellion, they have fought together, although they have experienced countless battles, they have long been accustomed to the days of licking blood from the knife edge, these people are his most elite troops. To put it mildly, no matter how many sergeants are lost, Gao Yingxiang may not be so distressed, but after losing more than 1,000 personal soldiers, Gao Yingxiang can't bear it.
Escaping was embarrassing, and Gao Yingxiang's face was always iron-blue.
Everyone was very careful, not daring to relax in the slightest, and Gao Yingxiang also felt strange. It is said that the Jiangning battalion will not only arrange a defensive line, but there will also be people lying in ambush around. But after running wildly for a while, I didn't find any surroundment.
Gao Yingxiang planned to stop and tidy up the team.
He pulled the reins, and soon, the line stopped.
"Brothers, this time we encountered the calculations of Li Yichuan and Liu Guoneng. They took refuge in the court and betrayed us, and we must take revenge if we have the opportunity in the future......"
Before he finished speaking, one of the pro-soldiers beside him let out a miserable scream. He fell off his horse.
Soon, the fluttering bows and arrows came over, and people kept falling, and many pro-soldiers quickly surrounded Gao Yingxiang's side.
Gao Yingxiang's face turned pale, he knew that he had entered the encirclement of the Jiangning camp, and the worries he had been worried about had finally appeared, at this moment, Gao Yingxiang had an ominous premonition, and today may be in a catastrophe.
The pro-soldiers were still very qualified, and immediately raised their shields to deal with the bows and arrows that were fired, but what they didn't expect was that the bows and arrows were too dense for people to resist, but the horses couldn't.
In just a few minutes, many horses had fallen.
"Brothers, fight, let's rush out of the ......"
Gao Yingxiang blushed and issued an order, at this time, only desperately, there may be a glimmer of life.
As soon as he spoke, torches lit up all around, and in an instant, the surroundings were illuminated.
This is a small valley, the surrounding mountains are not high, horses can rush up, but unfortunately the surrounding peaks are all Ming troops, under the light of torches, the red clothes they wear, so conspicuous.
"Gao Yingxiang, I am Liu Tiehan, the commander of the scout battalion guard of the Jiangning battalion, you are surrounded, if you lay down your arms and surrender, your own soldiers can survive......"
"Haha......ha Fart, I'd rather live standing than kneel down, I want me to surrender, dream......"
Liu Tiehan sighed and raised the steel knife in his hand.
The soldiers of the scout battalion and the pro-soldier battalion had long been waiting for Liu Tiehan's order.
Everyone rushed towards Gao Yingxiang and the others.
This is an overwhelming momentum, just when the Ming army launched a charge, Gao Yingxiang had already felt it, there was no chance to escape today, after so many years of fighting, what kind of army had not seen it, but the Jiangning battalion in front of him, the momentum reflected, he really felt it for the first time.
The two armies collided and made a loud noise.
In the face of the soldiers of the Jiangning battalion who rushed over, the soldiers were unable to resist, and they were broken through the line in an instant.
What kind of army is this, Gao Yingxiang felt the cold to the bone.
The personal soldiers he led were able to resist even in the face of the most elite army of the Ming Dynasty, and even when the situation was the most unfavorable, they could also charge, but in the face of the charge of the Jiangning battalion soldiers, the personal soldiers could not stop it, and were quickly dispersed by the other party.
Even if the pro-soldiers experienced the previous battles and caused heavy losses, their quality was still there.
Gao Yingxiang's confidence was shaken, he thought that his soldiers would be able to resist and protect him, but now it seems that it is unlikely.
The pro-soldiers around him have already begun to urge him.
"Dashuai, you retreat quickly, we will resist ......"
Liu Tiehan rushed over with the most elite 100 people.
Someone kept falling under Liu Tiehan's steel knife, and after the hundred people launched a charge, they rushed directly towards Gao Yingxiang as if they were in a no-man's land.
Watching the brothers fall one by one, Gao Yingxiang's eyes turned red.
He pushed away the soldiers around him, raised his steel knife, and rushed towards Liu Tiehan and the others......
Half an hour passed.
Gao Yingxiang has forgotten the time, the pro-soldiers around him are constantly falling, the number is getting smaller and smaller, of course, the pro-soldiers have also formed a blow to the soldiers of the Jiangning battalion, some pro-soldiers, even if they fall, are desperately holding the opponent, trying to die together.
Liu Tiehan was also surprised.
He originally thought that after a round of charge, he would be able to capture Gao Yingxiang alive, but he didn't expect that the soldiers around Gao Yingxiang suddenly burst out with huge energy, and actually began to fight back, which did cause trouble to many brothers, and the fight began to show a stalemate, but this time lasted only a few minutes.
Gao Yingxiang's side is only about 3,000 people, including the rogue who broke through, Su Tiancheng has an absolute advantage with 5,000 soldiers, and the sergeants led by Gao Yingxiang have suffered too many blows, artillery attacks, large army charges, and the rain of arrows just now, the ability has been greatly reduced, and it is impossible to last for a long time.
In this process, Liu Tiehan also adjusted his strategy and decided to kill Gao Yingxiang's personal soldiers and sergeants first.
Slowly, there were fewer and fewer sergeants around Gao Yingxiang.
Liu Tiehan's eyes also revealed a look of admiration, although it was impossible to live, but Gao Yingxiang's personal soldiers, none of them fled, and none of them surrendered, they all fought to the end, such a quality is not simple, think about the army of the Ming Dynasty, except for the Jiangning battalion, the rest of the army can't do it.
On the battlefield, it is impossible to be merciful, since the opponent does not surrender, then it is only possible to kill everything.
Gao Yingxiang became a blood man, with the blood of his own brother and the blood of the sergeant of the Jiangning battalion.
He beheaded two sergeants from the Jiangning battalion.
Gao Yingxiang had already discovered that the soldiers of the Jiangning battalion did not kill themselves, this was obviously trying to capture them alive, so Gao Yingxiang did not protect himself at all, he was desperately attacking, and this method actually worked.
It's a pity that his physical strength is also limited, the support around him is getting less and less, and his confidence has also suffered a major blow.
Soon, there were few sergeants around.
In less than an hour, almost all of the soldiers and sergeants who broke through the encirclement were killed.
Gao Yingxiang was a little crazy, he couldn't accept the fact that what kind of army was the Jiangning battalion, what kind of army was it, why was it so powerful, it was impossible, the personal soldiers he led were extremely brave on the battlefield with one blow to ten, but in the face of the soldiers of the Jiangning battalion, he was defeated so badly.
Gao Yingxiang didn't know what to say, what he was facing was also the elite of the Jiangning battalion, the scout battalion and the pro-soldier battalion.
Liu Tiehan finally came face to face with Gao Yingxiang.
Gao Yingxiang's hair was already scattered, and he looked terrifying.
Liu Tiehan doesn't care so much, the brothers he leads, the loss is not small, now, it is necessary to capture Gao Yingxiang alive, catch Gao Yingxiang, and it's done.
Soon, the soldiers of the five scout battalions stretched out their spears and pierced the war horse that Gao Yingxiang was riding at the same time.
In the continuous screams, Gao Yingxiang's war horse fell to the ground, and Gao Yingxiang also rolled to the ground.
Before Gao Yingxiang could react, Liu Tiehan had already dismounted and suppressed Gao Yingxiang, and the soldiers around him held down Gao Yingxiang's hands and feet.
Gao Yingxiang's mouth let out an angry roar, struggling desperately, but unfortunately it didn't have much effect.
The surroundings slowly fell silent, and suddenly thunder rang out from the sky.
The downpour soon came down, as if trying to wash away the blood from the ground.
Gao Yingxiang was tied up, he looked up at God, and shouted a few words angrily.
"God, you're unfair, it's all for what, what's it for......"
Liu Tiehan looked at Gao Yingxiang, opened his mouth, and didn't say anything, he remembered that he was back then, and Gao Yingxiang in front of him had many similarities. (To be continued......)
