Chapter 158: Unlucky Tang Tong
"How can this be, how can this be, who are they, or are they not human beings at all, are they all evil ghosts."
Tang Tong originally thought that today would be the pinnacle of his life, but he didn't expect that he would still be a loser today.
When Tang Tong was ready to use more than 20,000 soldiers under his command to completely annihilate the cavalry that rushed over, an accident happened.
He saw the cavalry galloping over, facing Rulin's swords and guns, but did not stop for half a minute, but rushed forward at a faster speed, and then, with his own body, the war horse under his crotch, rushed to his side.
One fell, the other followed, one row fell, and then quickly surged up, and in this way, those cavalry used their flesh and blood to open a bloody road to the Tang Tong army that was waiting for the battle.
And those fallen cavalry, in addition to the dead, even if there is still a breath left, they will struggle to the side of their own soldiers, although these wounded were quickly killed by the soldiers, but the appearance of fear, the temperament of desperate fighting, but Tang Tong's soldiers felt quite shocked, they have never seen this kind of army, can use their own flesh and blood, to fight a way for their comrades.
The battle is tragic, and it is also the most test of endurance, when one side can't stand this cruelty, that is when he fails, when Tang Tong's side is shocked by the other party's tragic spirit, taking advantage of this opportunity, this cavalry, which has been looking for an opportunity for a long time, finally took the opportunity to completely attack Tang Tong's military formation.
You must know that when the infantry faces the cavalry, it relies on the neatness of the queue and the cooperation of thousands of people as one, and when the infantry camp loses the cooperation of the battle formation, in the face of the condescending and fast-moving cavalry, there is no other way but to be chased and beaten until it is destroyed.
Therefore, when this cavalry rushed into Tang Tong's team and began to take the opportunity to kill, there were finally some soldiers with weak minds who had fear in their hearts, and then in order to save their lives, they began to slowly retreat, one, two, and soon, it was like a collapsed domino, with a beginning, it could no longer stand.
In an instant, the military formation, which was barely able to fight, was completely chaotic, for a while, there were deserters scurrying around, and everywhere was the cry of crying fathers and mothers, and the more at this time, those cavalry were also proud, in the face of the scattered and fleeing enemies, they did not wantonly kill, but shrewdly looked for those larger teams to attack, and also attacked the generals, because in this chaotic time, the general's side is the easiest place to form combat effectiveness.
Just when these cavalry completely disrupted Tang Tong's subordinates and killed them, the Shanhaiguan soldiers who were originally beaten by Tang Tong and shrunk to a corner also took the opportunity to launch an attack and fiercely attacked the chaotic Tang Tong troops.
"General, let's go, it's too late if you don't leave, stay in Qingshan without worrying about no firewood, now we just need to flee to the king's army, we can save our lives, in addition, these people are not Wu Sangui's subordinates at all, these are the Manchu army, these are the Manchu Eight Banner Army. As long as you bring this news to the king, the king will definitely not hold you accountable. Seeing that the form had completely failed, one of the guards beside Tang Tong spoke up and said.
"What, what are you talking about, this is the Eight Banners Army of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, impossible, how is this possible, how could Wu Sangui get in touch with the Eight Banners Army, absolutely impossible." Hearing the guard's words, Tang Tong suddenly shouted with disbelief on his face.
"General, how dare your subordinates deceive the general, you see, these cavalrymen have braids on the back of their heads, and in the whole world, except for the Manchus, there is also that man who will keep a braid on the back of his head." The guard said.
After listening to the guard's words, after seeing that the cavalry below was indeed as the guard said, they dragged a braid behind their heads, and then Tang Tong sat on the ground with his butt and muttered, "No wonder they are so fierce, no wonder they are so desperate, it turned out to be the Manchu Tartars, it seems that I am defeated today, and it is not wronged, fortunately, now there are tens of thousands of elites in the king's Chinese army who have not moved, otherwise, the Manchu Tartars will be killed violently, I am afraid that who wins and who loses is another story?" ”
Thinking of this, Tang Tong stood up suddenly, and then said to the guards beside him, "Quick, quick, get on the horse, I must bring this news to the king, otherwise, this battle will be lost." ”
It's a pity that Tang Tong's reaction was a little slow, from the very beginning, his big sword had already become the prey in the eyes of the Manchu soldiers, and just as he was speaking, a team of one hundred and ten people had already arrived not far from him, just when he wanted to get on his horse and leave.
Those people finally launched an attack, moving like a rabbit, quiet as a virgin, this team of Manchu soldiers, vividly interpreted the meaning of this idiom, from where they were, there are still two or three hundred zhang away from where Tang Tong is, and the place where Tang Tong is still a high ground, even so, between a dozen breaths, these people have already appeared in front of Tang Tong's eyes.
Seeing the enemy army that appeared in front of him, Tang Tong's face was suddenly frightened, although Tang Tong had also fought a lot of battles, but he had never encountered this situation, and suddenly Tang Tong opened his mouth and shouted to the guards beside him, "Block, quickly block them, don't let them come." ”
While shouting, Tang Tong beat his horse and ran towards Li Zicheng's army, but unfortunately, the dozens of guards around him, although they were also very heroic, but in the face of the Manchu soldiers who were stronger than them in terms of number and experience, these guards fell to the ground unwillingly, especially the leader in white armor, it was more like a demon who escaped from hell, no matter who met him, they all gave their lives in a short time, either by one or two pieces, or seriously injured and fell off the horse.
Hearing the screams coming from behind his ears, Tang Tong didn't need to look back to know that these screams were his own guards, and he who was once stationed in Xuanfu still had some understanding of the combat power of the Manchu Eight Banners, so after he knew that these people were Manchu Tartars, he didn't think about resisting at all, and his first thought was to escape, as for the future, it was not something he should worry about, but handed it over to Li Zicheng, anyway, he just had to bring the news.
It's a pity that although Tang Tong's wishful thinking is playing loudly, God has no longer given him a chance to let him realize it, and when Tang Tong, who was escaping, was about to escape from Ascension, he suddenly heard a soft sound behind him, and when he heard the sound, he instinctively bowed down and hid in the horse's belly.
originally thought that he would be able to dodge it in this way, but unfortunately, Tang Tong didn't expect that the arrow behind him was not shot by him at all, but the war horse under his crotch, and then, Tang Tong, who was galloping, felt that his whole body was suddenly empty, and his body suddenly fell to the side, and then, before he could react, his body hit the ground heavily, and the sharp pain that came from everywhere on his body made Tang Tong faint all of a sudden.
Seeing Tang Tong who was unconscious, the leader of the white armor was really in front of him, and after driving his horse to Tang Tong, he said disdainfully, "Come on, bring him back to me, this person is a big man at a glance, maybe it will come in handy." ”
At the time of Tang Tong's defeat, Li Zicheng's army had also moved to a nearby stone not far from here, and when Tang Tong's defeated soldiers came to Li Zicheng's camp one after another, and the news of Tang Tong's defeat was transmitted, Li Zicheng's army was in an uproar.
"Say, what the hell is going on, why did you win a big victory just now, and you are about to annihilate the other party, why did you suddenly lose again, and you lost so miserably, what about Tang Tong, where did Tang Tong go, why didn't you come back to see this king, could it be that he would not die." Li Zicheng, who got the news, couldn't help but shout angrily.
originally thought that he would be able to take Shanhaiguan smoothly soon, but he didn't expect that when the matter came, there would be such a situation, not only defeated, but also an inexplicable failure, and he didn't even know the reason, how could he not be angry in such a situation.
"Don't worry, the king, I said a long time ago, these generals are not reliable at all, it's okay to fight with the wind, it's really hard to hit the stubble, it still depends on us old brothers to come out, the king can rest assured, although Tang Tong is defeated now, but our overall strength has not lost much, and now the strength of the entire Shanhaiguan is completely gone, as long as we can eliminate his last force, they will no longer have the power to resist." Seeing the angry Li Zicheng, Liu Zongmin on the side persuaded him.
Hearing Liu Zongmin's words, Li Zicheng nodded and said, "Okay, Zongmin, the old brother is still reliable at the critical moment, remember that this is our most critical battle, we can only win and not lose, in this way, starting tomorrow, you will lead the whole army to attack, and you must go down the mountain customs in a battle, so that the people of the world can see the strength of our Dashun army again." ”
Just when Li Zicheng lost his temper, in the Qing army camp, Dolgon was talking to Wu Sangui, who was dressed in a full costume, "General Wu, now you and I are a family, from now on, as long as you are loyal to my Qing Dynasty, this king will definitely not treat you badly." ”
Hearing Dolgon's words, Wu Sangui hurriedly saluted gratefully, "Thank you for the regent's love, since the last general has been loyal to the Qing Dynasty, he will definitely die wholeheartedly for the Qing Dynasty from now on, and he has repaid the prince's kindness to the last general." ”
"Okay, well, in this case, tomorrow with Li Zicheng, you will be the striker, this king will give you a chance to take revenge, and at the same time, my Eight Banners Army can also give him a surprise at a critical moment, so that we can completely eliminate Li Thief to the greatest extent, and we can also realize General Wu's wish as soon as possible." Dorgon said with a smile.
Hearing Dolgon's words, Wu Sangui felt a burst of resentment in his heart, Wu Sangui couldn't understand Dolgon's means of killing people with a knife, but since he had already boarded this thief ship, he had to go on hard, otherwise, what was waiting for him would be a more cruel end.
