The vanguard was only ten miles away from the army behind, and the reason why Li Guohan sent the elite cavalry with the Eight Banners was also very clear, that is, he wanted to rely on the brave cavalry to break through the defense line of the Jiangning battalion, so that the rescue army could meet with the army led by Duoduo, so that he could complete the rescue task.

But the battle situation in front of him made Li Guohan feel frightened, his face turned pale, watching the attacking cavalry continue to fall, some fell under the artillery fire, some fell under the flintlock bullets, it is estimated that the loss is more than 1,000 people, but he has not yet seen the shadow of the sergeant of the Jiangning battalion, if this state continues, not to mention the army that rescues Duoduo, the rescue army led by himself may encounter the fate of being annihilated.

Li Guohan did not hesitate, the premise of the rescue was to ensure his own strength, and he decisively issued an order to suspend the attack. The vanguard troops, having received the order, quickly withdrew, after all, it was the elite cavalry that had been fighting for a long time, and they were soon able to regain their composure and withdraw from their positions in an orderly manner.

What made Li Guohan feel strange was that the Ming army in charge of blocking did not attack, but held on like this, which made Li Guohan's heart drip blood, at this time, he would rather the Ming army launch a large-scale attack, and the two sides would have fought face to face, so that they could find an opportunity to break through the defense line.

This Li Guohan, who was also Jin after Chongzhen's surrender in the second year, was once given the name Morgan by Huang Taiji, which means wise, and he is very good at fighting, and he also has brains.

Faced with the situation in front of him, Li Guohan quickly changed his strategy and ordered the infantry to attack, it was definitely not possible to wait in place, when the infantry attacked, they could rely on the trench to cover, and they could also think of filling the trench in some places. It was conducive to the passage of cavalry, and at the same time, Li Guohan particularly emphasized that the infantry should rely heavily on bows and arrows and flintlock pistols.

The infantry attack began immediately, and this time the situation was different from before, although the artillery of the Ming army was still roaring. But the casualties formed were much smaller, and the foot soldiers also relied on the favorable terrain to approach step by step.

Su Tiancheng, who was holding a telescope, saw this scene clearly.

He smiled and spoke to Qu Qingze and Liu Tiehan beside him.

"It seems that the commander of the Houjin Tartars still has a certain amount of brains, and I don't know who commanded the rescue force of the Ludao, but unfortunately they don't have a chance to pass through this line of defense."

"Dashuai, my subordinates think that this opportunity is rare. If Sun Chuanting, who is besieging Gaizhou City, can surround the Houjin Tartars who are rescued from behind, and under the front and back attacks, we will be able to exterminate the Houjin Tartars who are rescued, even if Jierharang leads the army to come to the rescue, it will be too late in time. ”

"Lao Qu, you can't be too greedy, Liaoyang and Haizhou. It's not far from here, so if you encounter a crisis situation. The army of the Houjin Tartars, one day and one night, is enough to arrive, and when the time comes, can we guarantee victory Hong Chengchou is encircling and suppressing Duoduo's army. Strive to defeat the Dordor once and for all within this day, and we will hold here for a day, so that the reinforcements of the Houjin Tartars will not be able to pass through the defensive positions, I believe. The commander of the Houjin Tartars, after learning the news of the defeat of Duoduo, will quickly withdraw his troops, and it is a dead end to continue to stay here. ”

"Dashuai, my subordinates understand."

"Lao Qu, you haven't understood yet, Liu Tiehan, I'm afraid you think the same way, I always feel that it's a pity to lose such an opportunity, I can tell you, at this time, Sun Chuanting led the army, and has begun to attack Gaizhou City, stationed in Gaizhou City, Houjin Tartar, less than 10,000 people, Sun Chuanting took Gaizhou City in one day, according to our arrangement, tomorrow's army will be stationed in Gaizhou City, and then we need to advance step by step, attack Yaozhou City and Haizhou City, suffered such a blow, The post-Golden Tartars will be desperate, and the difficult task is still to come. ”

The attack of the foot soldiers, also encountered a head-on blow, although it is said that in the hands of the Houjin Tartars, there are also flintlock guns, but unfortunately they are in a state of attack, for the soldiers of the Jiangning battalion who use the cover to protect, it is a moving target, as the foot soldiers continue to be hit, Li Guohan felt that relying on the foot soldiers' strategy, it is difficult to succeed, and ordered to suspend the attack again.

Duoduo's mood began to become unstable, and he had stopped participating in the fight, and his personal guards surrounded him, vigilantly watching the scene of the battlefield commander. To say that Duoduo also participated in the fight since he was a child, but he had never seen such a desperate situation, seeing that the army led by him, the losses were getting heavier and heavier, the attack of the Jiangning battalion sergeant, wave after wave, without the slightest respite, not long ago, the scout came to report that the reinforced army had passed Gaizhou, at that time, Duoduo's mood suddenly rose, he saw hope, if the reinforcement army could meet with the army led by him, the situation would change fundamentally.

It's a pity that nearly two hours have passed, and the reinforcements of the army have not had the slightest news, from morning to noon, Duoduo felt that the defeat was decided, and the soldiers were just struggling to support, numbly meeting the attacks of the Jiangning battalion one after another, after each attack, the losses of the army were heavy, what is called powerlessness, Duoduo finally felt it.

Regret that there is no chance, and at this time, Duoduo knows that it should be the last moment.

The sergeant of the Jiangning battalion temporarily stopped the attack, and the interval had reached a quarter of an hour, according to Duoduo's judgment, the last attack was coming, and at that time, I am afraid that it was the time when the army collapsed, and it was the time of complete collapse.

30,000 troops, Duoduo's heart is dripping blood, he thought of Dai Shan, Dai Shan once suffered a fiasco in Xuanzhou, Zheng Red Flag was annihilated, Duo Duo also thinks that Dai Shan is old, old, and has no strength to fight, which led to the annihilation of Zheng Hongqi, but how long has it been, this scene has been repeated in his own body, he has not fought head-on with Jiangning Camp before, Duo Duo is not convinced, at this time, he remembered Su Tiancheng who Huang Taiji said many times, and even thought that Su Tiancheng was the biggest threat to the Qing Dynasty.

Duoduo looked at the pro-soldiers around him, these pro-soldiers have followed him for many years, and they are even more familiar with each other than their families, these pro-soldiers must be fighting to the last breath, no one will leave, according to the rules of the Great Qing Kingdom, the banner is mainly killed in battle, and the pro-soldiers have no chance of survival.

Dodor spoke with some difficulty.

"Brothers, I'm afraid the Ming army is going to launch the most rear-end attack, we have lasted for nearly two days, and the performance is very good, I really didn't expect that the Han Eight Banners are so brave, it's a pity, I didn't think of this before, the attack is about to start, let's fight together, don't think about other things, you are all warriors of the Great Qing Kingdom."

Dodor spoke to the herald beside him.

"You take a hundred brothers, no matter what method you take, you have to rush out of Lu, tell Li Guohan, retreat quickly, don't rescue us, otherwise you will follow our old path, I wrote a letter, find a way to hand it directly to Prince Zheng, you remember, if you can't rush out, you must destroy the letter, and it can't fall into the hands of the Ming army."

After Dodor finished speaking, many of the pro-soldiers knelt down, and one pro-soldier spoke.

"Banner master, my subordinates are desperate to protect you and rush out of the city, the Ming army has not launched an attack yet, so the banner owner should evacuate quickly."

Many of the officers who rushed over saw this scene and knelt down with them, demanding that Duoduo evacuate quickly, and they could guarantee that Duoduo would evacuate safely.

Looking at the people kneeling in front of him, Duoduo's eyes were a little hot.

"Brothers, get up, I won't abandon your brothers, I don't have such rules in the Qing Kingdom, I won't evacuate, you all go back and prepare, the Ming army is about to attack."

The rumbling drums rang out, and this time the drums were particularly dense.

Hong Chengchou felt a stream of heat rolling in his chest, after more than half a day of fighting, the Houjin Tartar was no longer able to continue to support, and the time to completely eradicate this Houjin Tartar was up, and he raised the steel knife in his hand.

"Brothers, the Houjin Tartar can't hold it anymore, the moment of victory is coming soon, rush, ......"

Hong Chengchou charged at the front, a overwhelming momentum, rushing towards the Houjin Tartar, Hong Chengchou, He Renlong, Ma Xianglin, Liu Wenxiu, Ai Nengqi, Li Dingguo and others all appeared in the charging team, and even the artillery battalion commander Qin Rui also joined the ranks of the charge.

The remnant sun is like blood, witnessing this scene, tens of thousands of people fighting, flesh and blood flying, and streams of bloody qi began to condense, rising into the air, and the earth was whimpering.

Duoduo finally saw the scene at the end of the day, the army led by himself began to lose the ability to resist, and began to be divided and surrounded by the Ming army, countless soldiers fell, some soldiers scattered and fled, and the instinct to survive prompted them to want to leave the battlefield, just to save their lives, but unfortunately such an escape formed a more fatal blow.

Duoduo felt relieved, he didn't see the soldiers who laid down their arms, whether they were still resisting and fighting, or they were scattering and fleeing, no one surrendered, which was something to be proud of, and Duoduo knew better that most of the army he led were soldiers of the Han Eight Banners, and with such a brave Han Eight Banners, there was still hope for the Great Qing Kingdom.

The soldiers around Duoduo did not participate in the fighting, they still held out hope, feeling that the banner owner would definitely retreat, as long as the banner owner was there, the lost soldiers could be replenished, and they were confident that it was not very difficult to escort the banner owner to break out of the encirclement.

The army was defeated, and some of his own soldiers were worried and loudly suggested to Dordor that he should withdraw from the battlefield.

A grim look appeared on Dord's face, and he slowly drew his steel knife.

"Brothers, follow me to charge, there is no seed in my Great Qing Kingdom, everyone is a warrior, rush ......" (to be continued......)
