Not long before the two armies completely launched a white-knuckle battle, a few miles away in Dalinghe City, there was still a lot of rumors. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Zu Dashou, He Kegang, Zhang Cunren and rows of Liaodong sergeants with helmets and armor stood here, holding in their hands not torches for lighting the cannons of the city, but a shiny scimitar.

There are also rows of squad troops standing under the city, and these squad soldiers are also wearing simple armor and holding waist knives, spears and other miscellaneous weapons.

Everyone was waiting, waiting for Zu Dashou to give an order, and Zu Dashou looked into the distance, as if he was also waiting for something.

Suddenly, bursts of artillery rang out in the distance, and Zhang Cunren and He Kegang turned their heads to look at Zu Dashou, their eyes full of fighting spirit.

"General!"

Zu Dashou clenched the steel knife that had not yet been unsheathed, just waved his hand and gritted his teeth.

"Wait."

As if they knew that the war had begun in the distance, the Mongols under the city walked out of the barracks one by one and lined up outside the city, and the situation became more and more tense.

Not long after, the earth-shattering sound of the cannon cannon roaring reached Dalinghe City, and the faint shouting of killing was still slightly harsh, and he felt that the time had come.

Zu Dashou walked a few steps to the city tower, raised his knife high, and shouted: "Soldiers, reinforcements have arrived, go out of the city with the army gate, and kill the prisoners!" ”

Those Liaodong sergeants who were personally recruited by Sun Chengzong a few years ago did not hesitate to raise their swords and roar, driving those squad troops under the city to roar hoarsely.

Suddenly, the heavy city gate of Dalinghe City, which had been closed for almost a month, opened, and the three generals Zu Dashou, He Kegang, and Zhang Cunren rushed out first, followed by Liaodong soldiers in iron armor, all screaming frantically, rushing out of the city.

The Mongols outside the city were already in battle, and when they saw this scene, a Mongol general yelled at the middle of the battle, as if he was mobilizing before the war, and when he heard these bird songs, the Mongols also became restless, and rushed up with a whine.

The two armies collided violently, and in an instant, the stumps flew and the shouts of killing jumped up.

Zu Dashou led more than 1,000 Liaodong veterans, brave and tenacious, like a sharp knife rushing into the enemy's army, almost no Mongols could stop everywhere they went, and they were often screaming.

The more than 10,000 Mongols who fought with Zu Dashou were divided into two battalions, the left and right battalions, and the actual armored soldiers were only more than 8,000 people, and the remaining 2,000 people were the accompanying troops of the Mongolian tribes, responsible for some of the work of carrying flags and transporting them in the army.

Because Azig did not ask Sheng Jing for help, there was a shortage of soldiers, and even those who were not soldiers were ordered to go into battle, and as a last resort, they put on simple armor and lifted their scimitars out of the camp, including some old, weak, disabled and women.

However, although these Mongols are not soldiers, but compared with Zu Dashou's army, the combat effectiveness is still slightly stronger, the harsh life of the Mongols all year round makes them slightly stronger than the Han people, and the only ones who can really fight with the soldiers without falling behind are the old soldiers of Liaodong.

The Mongolian left battalion leader I Badeng, the Mongolian right battalion leader Zhuozi, are all tall and big, even in strength, they are not lost to the ordinary Jurchens, seeing that Zu Dashou and others are unstoppable, they roared angrily and led the Mongolian soldiers to catch up.

"Minggou, let's die!!"

Although Zu Dashou didn't know him, his military career over the years, so that Zu Dashou could see a rough idea at a glance, even if he was not a leader, he must be a general, so he must be killed!

Seeing that the Mongolian people were tall and big, but Zu Dashou was still not afraid, and the steel knife in his hand came to preemptively slash at me with a thunderous momentum.

Seeing that this Southern Dynasty general was so bold, he felt that his majesty was being challenged, and his left hand muscles were tense, and he directly held Zu Dashou's right wrist with one hand, grinning.

It was difficult for his right hand to move forward even a bit, but Zu Dashou's face still did not change, and his right foot kicked directly towards my Baden crotch.

Feeling the crisis from the crotch, I Ba Deng didn't care about anything else, so he had to let go of Zu Dashou's hand and was about to protect the crotch, and it was at this moment that the tip of the knife with blood passed through his chest.

Not to mention the elm head of my Baden, even Zu Dashou, who was fighting, didn't expect that someone would come to save him, and was thinking about who it was.

I just tilted my head, and a stream of blood spurted out with a 'poof', and I fell directly to the ground.

Leaving the corpse of this Mongolian, He Kegang smiled at Zu Dashou, and without waiting for Zu Dashou to say anything, he raised his sword again and killed another Mongolian.

Seeing that it was He Kegang, Zu Dashou was not surprised, He Kegang has always been like this.

Jiliao Governor Sun Chengzong once said that his people: public economy is honest, brave in battle, and has many achievements.

Zu Dashou also trusts him very much.

The battle lasted for nearly two hours, and under the casualties, the Mongols were not Jurchens who were not afraid of death, and they were finally a little defeated under the sluggish fighting spirit.

During this time, the shouts of killing and the sound of artillery from a few miles away were still continuous, and after such a distance, they could still be heard so clearly, Zu Dashou was also eager to know what the battle situation was over there.

You know, this is very likely to be the last reinforcement, if this time it is defeated again, things may have to develop in the direction that Zu Dashou is most unwilling to do, unless it is absolutely necessary, Zu Dashou is unwilling to do that.

The more anxious he was, the more Zu Dashou led his army in pursuit, and if it had been like this, the Mongols would have quickly been defeated and scattered.

But things are obviously not as good as Zu Dashou intended, just when everyone thought that victory was imminent, there was a loud noise behind the Ming army, not only the Ming army was panicked, but Zu Dashou was also full of horror when he heard it.

"It's, it's... Tartar cavalry! Zhang Cunren was also covered in blood, but he didn't know if it was his own or Mongolian, and said in shock.

He Kegang shouted badly, listening to this formation, at least thousands of cavalry were galloping on horseback, and the direction naturally went without saying, it should be here.

At this time, if thousands of cavalry rushed from their backs, He Kegang didn't dare to think about it.

Looking at Zu Dashou, He Kegang gritted his teeth and said: "Junmen, please make a decision quickly and retreat to the city!" ”

Zhang Cunren also looked at Zu Dashou, his expression uncertain.

Retreating to the city, Zu Dashou didn't want to, but in this way, these thousands of Tartar cavalry could not be killed in the city, so they would go to the battlefield a few miles away for reinforcements.

These thousands of cavalry were a fatal crisis for them, but Zu Dashou could expect that in the far battlefield where the fierce battle was raging, if these thousands of Tartar troops joined, even if they would not be defeated, they would be defeated and leave, which was something he didn't want to see!

Zu Dashou has always believed in Sun Chengzong, listening to the shouting and killing in the distance, for some reason, Zu Dashou has always had a voice in his heart telling him.

If you keep fighting, you can win!

This feeling lingered, and after a long silence, Zu Dashou immediately made a decision, raised his knife and shouted: "Liaodong Army, follow this army, kill the captives!" ”

He Kegang and Zhang Cunren heard the words and glanced at each other.

In that case, then let's fight, the big deal is death!

He Kegang volunteered, please divide hundreds of Liaodong Army, and supervise the army after the battle to meet the Tartar cavalry, Zhang Cunren looked at He Kegang, shocked, but also hesitated to say.

"General He, or... I'll go for it. ”

Zu Dashou glanced at Zhang Cunren in surprise, nodded and said, "Look at the army, it's okay for General Zhang to go!" After speaking, Zhang Cunren was shocked.

He Kegang didn't reply, made a big move, and shouted: "Who is not afraid of death, dare to fight the Tartars with me He Kegang!" ”

"I'm coming!"

"Count me in!"

"And me!"

Looking at the hundreds of Liaodong veterans who stood up, He Kegang laughed and said with high spirits: "They are all good soldiers, and they are not afraid of death!" ”

"I am willing to kill the prisoners with the general!"

He Kegang led hundreds of brave and warlike Liaodong soldiers to supervise the post-war army, so that the panicked squad army quickly settled down and lined up on the hillside.

Not long after the formation, billowing dust and smoke appeared in the distance, and a black line rose from the horizon, and when it got closer, He Kegang frowned.

"Why are these Tartars still red flags?"

Suddenly thinking of something, He Kegang laughed: "Could it be that this Azig only led 10,000 Tartars to meet the tens of thousands of reinforcements of my Ming Governor's division?" It's just God help me Ming, God help me Ming!! ”

The officer of his family did not know why, and asked, "What did the general say...?" ”

He Kegang snorted coldly, pricked up his ears to listen to the unabated shouting and killing sound a few miles away, and said: "Needless to say, just remember that the longer we can delay, the greater the chance of victory." ”

He said in a loud voice: "Soldiers, are you afraid of death?!" ”

Hearing this, hundreds of Liaodong veterans shouted one by one.

"Defend your homeland, only death!"

He Kegang stuck the big knife on the sand and laughed.

"Well, Ben will die with you!!"
