To Duoduo's surprise, soon the drums and trumpets died down, replaced by hundreds of people shouting in unison: "Lord Jinon is here!" ”

"It's my turn!" Liu Cheng smiled at Du Guoying, and stepped forward, Ah Gui followed closely with the Sulu ingot, and the sun shone on Liu Cheng's golden armor, which looked particularly dazzling. The soldiers of Liu Chengjun on the right flank of the www.biquge.info saw the big man and Liu Cheng in gold armor, and cheered in unison, while the Jurchen soldiers on the opposite side saw this man in gold armor, although they didn't know who it was, and their shouts suddenly lowered.

"What's going on? I was obviously shot at the time! So who is this? Duoduo's mind was in a mess, he was in a hurry, and hurriedly shouted: "Shout, this person is not Liu Cheng, it's fake!" ”

"This person is not Liu Cheng, it's a fake!" Later, Jin Jun shouted loudly again. Liu Cheng smiled slightly, took off the hood, and shouted loudly on the side: "Whether it's true or not, you can see at a glance that Dongyu is treacherous and slippery, which makes people laugh!" ”

Although only a group of soldiers in the vicinity could see Liu Cheng's face clearly, Liu Cheng's act of exempting himself from the army encouraged the confidence of the soldiers - a fake would not dare to take off his helmet to expose his own description. A cheer erupted in Liu Chengjun's army, which immediately suppressed the shouts of the Jin army on the opposite side.

"My lord, let's put on a helmet, it's too far forward here, and there will be stray arrows flying!" Du Guoying said in a low voice.

"It's okay, life and death have their own certainty, God gave birth to me Liu Cheng, let me do a career, and will never let me die here!" Liu Cheng looked in the direction of the left flank, but could only see the dense smoke of gunpowder: "Guoying, if you gather the rest of the cavalry, I estimate that the left flank should be about the same, and once the battle is won, this side can be overpowered!" ”

"Yes, sir!" Du Guoying lowered his head, Liu Cheng's voice was still low and hoarse, but it contained a special power, which made Du Guoying have to be convinced.

The right flank of the Later Jin Army.

"It's finally alive again!" Hearing the sound of gold from the enemy's main formation in the distance, one such thought flashed through Suppilon's mind, and he suddenly collapsed from exhaustion, and sat on the blood-stained ground. After half a cup of tea, he felt that his hands and feet were his own, and looked around. After half a day of fighting, the right flank of the Houjin army was already in tatters, and the remaining forces could no longer maintain a dense and complete line, leaving only a pile of foot soldiers, and a small number of cavalry were hiding behind these infantry teams. The survivors looked numb and limped on the ground motionless, and the few who had the strength to rummage through the corpses of their companions beside them, looking for dry food and water bladders.

"Fortunately, there is a river behind Xiyu, otherwise it is estimated that it would have been defeated a long time ago!" He secretly rejoiced that since he joined the army at the age of sixteen, he had always been proud of the bravery and fortitude of the Jurchen warriors, and believed that the Eight Banners Army was a powerful army unparalleled in the world. But even so, he never imagined that the combination of mobile artillery, infantry with spears and arquebuses, archers and lancers could exert such terrifying power. In fact, the numerical advantage of the enemy army is not large, if the reinforcements drawn from the Chinese army by Huang Taiji are added up, the total strength of the enemy army on the opposite side is probably 1.2 to 1 numerical advantage, the advantage in cavalry is greater, and the infantry may be less. In the past, under such a comparison of forces, the Eight Banners Army could basically win a complete victory, but today it was beaten without the power to fight back, if it was not for the river behind it, there was no way to retreat, and it was estimated that it would have collapsed completely.

"No wonder the Great Khan wants to send an envoy to be a brother with that Liu Chengyu and take the Ming Kingdom together! This Liu Cheng has such a strong army, but he is so loyal to the emperor of the Ming Kingdom, it is really strange! As he was thinking to himself, he suddenly felt a tremor on the ground, and he immediately understood that it was a large group of cavalry rapidly approaching. The cavalry of Houjin on the right flank had already lost almost everything, and it was simply self-evident which side these uninvited guests were.

"Get up, get up quickly, the cavalry of the Western Capture is coming!" Suppilon jumped on his horse, brandished his whip, and shouted loudly in an attempt to reorganize his men into a phalanx to resist the onslaught of the enemy knights.

But Hou Jin Shishu was already exhausted, and his movements were much slower than usual. Before they could finish their formation, the menacing cavalry had already broken through their ranks and trampled the resistance under their horses.

"Phew, hoo!" Hao Shaoqi reined in his war horse and looked at the riverbank not far away in surprise. When he charged, he divided his cavalry into three columns, all of which were armored cavalry in front and light cavalry in the rear, ready to let armored cavalry charge in front, and light cavalry galloped left and right in the rear, but he did not want to be caught off guard and had no time to line up, so he directly faced most of the enemy troops of the rushing cavalry and scattered in the wind, dodging to both sides to avoid spears and horse hooves. As a result, Hao Shaoqi's subordinates, who broke through the formation, encountered almost no resistance, and directly killed the right flank of the Houjin army and rushed to the river.

"Lord Hao!" Hazar smiled: "The East Captives are over, and it is no more troublesome for me to rush over than to stab a piece of paper, now we will go back and take Azig's head!" ”

"Take Azig's head?" Hao Shaoqi's heart moved, and he couldn't help but think of the oath he made when he left Liu Cheng, he hesitated for a moment, and shook his head: "Hazar, you lead the light cavalry to take the head of Azig, and I will lead the armored cavalry to rotate to the right to attack the back of the Huang Taiji army,"

"Thank you, sir!" Hazar was overjoyed when he heard this, Hao Shaoqi said this, obviously giving himself the fat meat to eat, and he went to gnaw the hard bones of the Houjin Zhongjun, he took out three arrows from Hulu and put them in his mouth, held a bow in his left hand, and carried a spear in his right hand, turned his horse's head and rushed towards the back of the Jurchens' right wing. The light cavalry followed him, and once again rushed into the Jurchen's right flank from behind, and they either opened their bows and slashed and stabbed with spears and sabers, and the arrows rained down to the left and right, taking away one life after another, and the foot soldiers on the left flank of Liu Chengjun's army also pressed up under the command of Gesang, and soon the right flank of the Jin army was on the verge of destruction.

As soon as the enemy cavalry broke through its ranks for the first time and passed through the formation, he knew that the situation was impossible. So he fled in the direction of the Chinese army with six or seven Goshkha, and after running for a while, he saw the banner of Azig, hurriedly beat his horse and leaned over, and admonished: "Lord Belle, the enemy cavalry has just broken through the ranks and passed through the formation, the situation is no longer possible, it is better to go to the Chinese army as soon as possible and join the Great Khan!" ”

Azig was reluctant to give up his men and flee: "If I escape, the right flank will be finished." If the right flank is finished, the Chinese army will not be able to hold it. In my opinion, it's better to collect the remnants, resist for a while, and wait for reinforcements from the Chinese army! ”

Kupilon shook his head: "Baylor, I am also a person who has seen battles, although there are still nearly a thousand people around you, but the enemy did not spend much effort when he rode through the formation, obviously the soldiers on the right wing of our army have either been scattered, or they have no will to fight, but there is a river behind them, and they can't escape." If the enemy cavalry turns over and kills again, and the frontal foot soldiers are flanked back and forth, the more stubborn we resist, the more enemy cavalry will be attracted to besiege, and the faster we will die. As for the Great Khan's Chinese army, how many soldiers and horses can be sent over when they are in a hurry to kill the Chinese army of the Western Captives? Even if you die in battle here, what good will it be, it is better to take advantage of the fact that the enemy army has not formed an encirclement and withdraw as soon as possible! ”

Azig was still a little hesitant, and suddenly heard a shout of killing from the side and rear, and when he looked back, sure enough, as Suppilon said, a large group of enemy cavalry was killing him, and the Jurchen soldiers fled everywhere they went, and some even lay on the ground waiting to die, obviously exhausted, and only a handful of them took up arms to resist. He knew that what Kupilon said was right, so he hurriedly turned his horse's head and said loudly: "It's no longer possible, everyone follow me to move closer to the Chinese army!" ”

After Hao Shaoqi and Hazar divided their troops, he led the armored cavalry to the south along the river bank, and was invincible all the way, killing people when they encountered them, setting fire to camp tents when they encountered them, and driving them away when they encountered livestock. On the way, a soldier heard someone in the enemy army shouting, "Liu Cheng is the head, Dajin will be prosperous!" He went to ask Hao Shaoqi. He sneered and said, "Don't listen to Dongyu's fart, my lord is a star in the sky, how can he die so easily?" Besides, if you look at these, is it what it looks like? The knights nodded.

At this time, Hao Shaoqi suddenly saw a group of enemy soldiers driving ox carts across the pontoon bridge, and there were red-coated cannons dragging behind them, and he was overjoyed, and hurriedly pointed at the enemy army and shouted: "Hurry up and kill them, grab those cannons!" ”

"Hurry, hurry!" Ao Bai scolded loudly, looking at the slowly dragging ox carts, he couldn't help but feel anxious, he was ordered by Huang Taiji to cross the river with the artillery team on the opposite bank, but he didn't expect these ox carts to be so troublesome. The makeshift pontoon bridge was pressed by a red-coated cannon weighing two or three thousand catties, and the bridge deck suddenly sank, and even the river overflowed, and a cow was frightened by the jumping river fish, and dragged the artillery carts behind it into the river, and by the way, it also smashed and sank the boats under the pontoon. As a result, it took Ao Bai two full hours to cross the river with fourteen cannons in red coats and ox carts loaded with ammunition.

It was already early afternoon, and the autumn afternoon was short, although it was only three or four o'clock, and the sky had already become dark. After nearly 100,000 horses fought and trampled back and forth on both sides, the grass by the river had already been trampled flat, revealing the gray-black soil below, and the dust rose as soon as the wind blew it, and the air was filled with a choking earthy smell. The wind carried the dust and swept through the military formations on both sides, like a yellow tide flooding the reef on the shore, revealing only flags, which were blown by the wind and sand and made a crackling sound.

Ao Bai hurriedly turned to the side to avoid the wind and sand blowing in his face. Suddenly, he heard the sound of wind and sand, which seemed to be hidden, and hurriedly listened to it, which looked like dozens of drummers hammering the drums hard. And here it could only be the sound of iron horses galloping, and behind that cloud of dust, a group of cavalry was rushing towards this side.

"Is it your own people, or is it an enemy horseman?" Ao Bai looked nervously left and right. At this time, many people had already heard the sound of horses' hooves, they stopped and began to listen, the sound was getting louder and louder, and in addition to the sound of horses' hooves, they could also hear the sound of the clash between the iron armor and the weapon, obviously, this was a large group of iron knights rushing towards this side.

"Array!" Ao Bai shouted, "Everyone go behind the gun carriage!" He himself was the first to retreat behind the vehicle, and drew his bow in the direction from which the sound came.

Suddenly, a horse broke through the wind and sand, only to see that the iron armor on his body was covered with dust, and the helmet on his head was already yellow-brown, holding a spear, and rushed towards this side. Ao Bai hurriedly aimed and released the bowstring, and the arrow accurately hit the throat of the rider, but it was blocked by the iron neck guard and did not penetrate. Ao Bai hurriedly shot another arrow, this time in the face of the other man, and the knight fell from his horse. Ao Bai hurriedly dropped his horned bow and raised his spear to meet him.

These raiders rode in groups of thirty or fifty, and rushed into the convoy with diagonal stabs, some in columns and some in horizontal rows, or stabbed with spears and slashes, or slashed with sabers, and those in the back row were shot with bows, and soon after breaking through the ranks they turned their horses and turned back to charge. In the blink of an eye, Aobai's subordinates were cut into many small pieces that did not correspond to each other and besieged them. When they encounter a stubbornly resisting enemy, they usually do not stop to dwell, but rush over and continue to ravage on their horses, with the cavalry behind them charging these stubborn enemies.

After a few rounds of rounding and rushing in this way, most of the soldiers and horses of the Aobai escort artillery team had already broken down, and only three or four hundred people remained to resist stubbornly, and they were surrounded like iron buckets. At this time, the cavalry gathered around, some of them jumped off their horses, took out their strong bows from their saddles and shot them, while others cruised with spears. These knights were the elite of Liu Cheng's side, and most of the strong bows they held were more than two stones, and they filled the bow until the originally double-curved angular bow formed a sharp arc, protruding forward, and the two ends of the bow bait were almost touched, before letting go of the bowstring and releasing arrows to the surrounding crowd. The armor-piercing arrows pierced the air, making a bone-chilling scream, piercing through the iron armor, and some Jurchen soldiers tried to block the arrows with their shields, but they were shot through the shields, nailing the shield-holding hands to the shields. If someone tried to spread out of formation to avoid being shot by an arrow, the knights roaming around him rode their horses and drove them back with their spears, as if they were driving away prey from the paddock.

Ao Bai was also in the encirclement, his right foot was shot through, and there was no doctor to treat him at this time, so he had to break the arrow and pull it out, tear the robe on his body and wrap it casually twice, and the slightest step was in severe pain. When he saw the situation around him, he knew that he had gone deep into a desperate situation, but his mind calmed down, so he walked with a spear and said in a loud voice: "My generation went into battle with a bow and arrow, and today's events will happen sooner or later, since I am unlucky, I would rather die with a bow and arrow, rather than be born as a slave and a slave!" ”

Fang had just encountered a surprise attack by enemy cavalry, and the wavering people in the Jurchen army had already fled, and those who remained were outlaws who were not afraid of life and death. ”
