Chapter 45 The Three Armies Are Together

Zhou Renyuan led 8,000 cavalry and just arrived at the outskirts of Jiazhuang, when he saw the Qing army and shouted, "Lu Xiangsheng is dead!" "There are Ming soldiers inside crying again. Pen Γ— fun Γ— Pavilion www. biquge。 ο½‰ο½Žο½†ο½

He felt a heart-piercing pain in his heart, couldn't his arrival prevent history from repeating itself? He said to himself that he must be calm, pointed to the camp of the Qing army on the opposite side and shouted: "General Zu, this king orders you to rush into the enemy formation with three thousand iron cavalry to rescue the besieged soldiers!" The rest of the cavalry followed the king to attack the place where the Tartar dragon banner was, and that must be the place where the Tartar commander was! Charge! "The cavalry divided into two routes and only entered the enemy line of the Qing army.

Dolgon and Yueto's tent was on the periphery, and a large number of Ming cavalry were also found," "What's going on?" Could it be that Gao Qi dived to rescue Lu Xiangsheng? Dolgon was startled and shouted, "Turn around!" Turn! Deal with the Ming army behind! ”

The Qing army inside didn't care about fighting with Lu Xiangsheng's remnants anymore, and turned their horses' heads to prepare to meet the Ming cavalry behind them. Just when the Qing army turned around in a chaotic manner, Zu Kuan's three thousand Guanning iron cavalry had already pounced, and the Qing army who turned around looked at a big "ancestor" on the flag of the Ming army, and shouted in fright, "It's Guanning iron cavalry!" "Half of the fighting spirit is lost.

Zu Kuan waved his sword on the horse and sneered: "Sons, let these Tartars taste the power of my Guanning Iron Horse!" Kill! The three-eyed firearms of the Guanning Iron Cavalry opened fire one after another, and the fine armor of the Qing army could not stop the impact of the lead bullets, and they fell from their horses one after another screaming.

At this time, Dolgon found that a Ming army general wearing gold armor led the five thousand cavalry behind him, like a red lightning bolt, rushing towards his own Chinese army. His face turned pale and shouted, "Guards battalion, go and intercept!" "It seems that the generals of the Ming army want to capture the thief and capture the king first!

The general of the guards battalion, the Baturu warrior of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, Ersen, turned on his horse and waved his hand and shouted, "The bravest warriors of the Qing Dynasty, attack!" "Three thousand of the best Manchu cavalry, led by Ersen, rushed straight towards Zhou Renyuan's cavalry.

Zhou Renyuan saw Dolgon's guards cavalry rushing towards him, and shouted as he galloped, "Strong crossbow ready!" A strong crossbow was placed on the crossbow machine in the right hand of the Hengzhou cavalry, raised and aimed at the rushing guard battalion.

Three hundred steps, two hundred steps! Shoot! A series of powerful short crossbows shot straight forward with black lightning, and the Qing cavalry of the Guards Battalion was shot down before they could pull up their bowstrings, followed by the sound of firing guns, and the cavalry of the Guards Battalion fell a lot.

The standard configuration of the Prince Hengzhou Guards cavalry is a short crossbow and a self-generated short firearm, and there is no time to launch a second one after the crossbow machine is fired, Zhou Renyuan In order to make up for this shortcoming, each cavalry is equipped with a short firearm on his waist, which can maximize the killing and injury of the enemy cavalry.

Ersen was furious in his heart, his cavalry bows and arrows were killed and wounded nearly three or four hundred people before they could pull the strings, and the long-range attack of this Ming army was significantly higher than that of his own cavalry, shouting, "Rush forward for me!" "As long as you get closer, the Ming army's long-range attack advantage will be lost.

Zhou Renyuan's cavalry was also rushing at this time, and the fire guns didn't have time to reload their ammunition. Just as the cavalry of the two armies was about to approach, Zhou Renyuan raised his sword and waved, and his cavalry suddenly divided into two ways to attack the flank of the guards cavalry.

Ersen's heart was cold, this Ming army general wearing gold armor had great ambitions, and wanted to wrap his cavalry in dumplings, and his charge was like a fist hitting cotton at once. Furious, he said, "Shameless Ming dog, don't dare to fight me!" ”

At this time, the cavalry on his flank screamed miserably, and fought with the Ming cavalry. Ersen was suddenly horrified to find that the Ming cavalry, which was divided into two ways against him, and the Ming army with masks actually joined together behind his own formation and went straight to his own Chinese army's tent. Dolgon and Yueto in the big tent were terrified, "Guards, stop them!" ”

The remaining 2,000 Qing soldiers in the big tent raised their iron spears in horror, forming a forest of guns, which was the last thing that the infantry in the world was willing to face before firearms were popularized. But there is no way today, behind them are the two princes of the Great Qing Kingdom, and they can only block this tiger-like Ming cavalry with their flesh and blood!

The one-sided slaughter began, and Zhou Renyuan led the Hengzhou cavalry and shouted, "Kill!" The Hengzhou cavalry rushed to the infantry guns of the Qing soldiers, the iron spears of the Qing army stabbed at the horses and cavalry, the soldiers of the Hengzhou cavalry front screamed and fell off their horses, and the cavalry behind continued to follow up the impact, and the Qing soldiers had started a melee, and many of the cavalry who were stabbed to death by the horses had already stood on the ground holding sabers and started a white-knuckle battle with the Qing army.

Dolgon said to Yue Tuo with a gloomy face, "This Ming army general is really ruthless, he completely ignored the battle situation of the Ming army behind him, and rushed towards us, it seems that he wants you and me to die here today?" ”

Yue Tuo swallowed his saliva and said nervously, "Then let's retreat, it's too dangerous here."

Dorgon nodded, "Withdraw!" Move closer to the army on the right! ”

Zhou Renyuan's sharp sword kept slashing and killing the Qing soldiers who blocked him, he didn't know how many iron spears he had cut off, how many elite armors of the Qing soldiers had been broken, and his golden armor was full of the blood of the Qing soldiers. Suddenly, he saw the two dragon flags of the Qing soldiers' tent moving slowly, and said anxiously, "Not good!" Dorgon wants to escape! He shouted, "This king's personal guard, follow me to storm the Tartar dragon banner in front." As he spoke, he rode forward.

Shen Tieshan was already covered in blood, and he and Zhou Renyuan's personal guards were always around Zhou Renyuan to protect him, and when he saw that Zhou Renyuan had rushed out, he hurriedly patted his horse to follow.

The Qing infantry who were fighting were terrified, desperately trying to stop Zhou Renyuan, shouting, "Protect the banner master!" They found that their companions were becoming fewer and fewer, and most of the ground was covered with the corpses of the Qing army and the wounded soldiers who were groaning in pain. But they still resisted desperately, and only by blocking this Ming army could the two banner owners behind escape a little bit of life.

Zhou Renyuan and three hundred personal soldiers fought a bloody road, constantly approaching in the direction of the Dragon Banner. Dolgon and Yueto in front were shocked and moved closer to their right army.

However, on the right side is Zu Kuan's 3,000 Guanning iron cavalry is constantly rushing and killing, the Qing army has been fighting with Lu Xiangsheng's troops for an hour, and they are already exhausted, and they are afraid of the prestige of the Guanning iron cavalry, and the formation has already been scattered by the Guanning iron cavalry, and they cannot gather to form an effective protection team.

"Fire!" Zhou Renyuan took out the short fire gun that he didn't usually use and ordered, the three hundred personal soldiers had finished reloading in the process of chasing, and there was a chaotic sound of "popping", and dozens of guards of Dolgon and Yue Tuo in front of them fell off their horses screaming, and the two guards holding the flag also fell.

Zhou Renyuan saw the two Qing generals in front of him running away from a distance, took off the big bow, and shot an arrow at the Qing general who was left behind, shooting him in the back, only to see the Qing general scream and fall off his horse. A member of the side of the general immediately bent down and grabbed his hand, scooped up the fallen general, and galloped forward in front of the horse.

Zhou Renyuan's three hundred guards shouted, "Dolgon is dead!" Dorgon has been shot! ”

The Qing soldiers who were fighting with the Guanning Iron Cavalry were already on the verge of collapse, and when they saw that the dragon flags of their two banners had fallen, they heard that Dolgon was dead, and the last line of defense finally collapsed! They scattered in a hurry and fled for their lives.

Ersen, who was fighting fiercely with the 3,000 cavalry of the Ming army, heard the news that the Ming army had killed Dolgon, and he couldn't help but be very sad, and he had killed no less than 20 Ming cavalry. But this Ming army surrounded his troops like a piece of kraft candy, and he desperately wanted to rush out of the encirclement to rescue his flag master, but as long as there was a gap in the other party, it would be immediately filled, so that no matter how much he rushed, he couldn't rush out.

The cavalry general of this Ming army is He Renlong, who is known as "He Maniac", and his command is Lu Xiangsheng's old department "Tianxiong Army", and he learned that Lu Xiangsheng died. This Tianxiong army had long been furious, and Zhou Renyuan told them that as long as they held back this Tartar guard camp for an hour, they would be considered their first merit, so they were desperately entangled with Ersen's cavalry without fear of death.

He Renlong hissed, "The enemy chieftain Dolgon is dead! Avenge Inspector Lu! Kill all this tartar! The remaining cavalry of less than 2,000 Tianxiong Army shouted, "Avenge Inspector Lu!" Kill! ”

When Ersen saw He Renlong, he rushed straight over, and a mace kept sweeping the Ming army on the side, and He Renlong was furious when he saw this, "Tartar, eat me with a knife!" The big knife slashed at Ersen, Ersen hurriedly raised the mace to resist, He Renlong's knife has the power of a thousand catties, only to hear the sound of "click", the mace was seen as broken, and the homeopathic split Ersen in half from top to bottom. He Renlong laughed wildly and said, "Those who are not afraid of death are here!" The rest of the guards saw that the main general was dead, and they were suddenly timid, and said that the life and death of their banner master were unknown, so they all rushed out desperately. Unexpectedly, when he turned around, he ran into Zhou Renyuan's Hengzhou cavalry again, and was slashed and killed again, with countless casualties.

It turned out that Zhou Renyuan saw that his Hengzhou cavalry horses were tired, and he could no longer catch up with another Qing general who fled, so he had to turn around and deal with the Qing army guard battalion behind him. The cavalry of the Guards battalion fled one after another, and they did not even have time to take the body of their own commander Ersen.

Zhou Renyuan's cavalry then slaughtered for a while, and the chasing Qing soldiers were like frightened pheasants in this field, fleeing in all directions. The Qing army that was caught up kept kneeling on the ground and begging for mercy, and the Ming cavalry didn't look at it, and slashed it with a knife.

The soldiers of the three Mongolian divisions were even more frightened birds, and their leather armor was pursued by their own Ming army's three-eyed firecrackers, and it was a big blood hole, and less than a thousand people escaped.

The battle lasted from dawn to noon, killing nearly 10,000 Qing troops, more than 2,000 Qing troops who were seriously wounded and unable to move, and nearly 100 people were taken prisoner. The captured Qing army ran into Wu Xiang's department who came from behind when they fled, and they were beaten on the ground by a burst of fire and begged for mercy, but Wu Xiang did not kill them but tied them up to join Zhou Renyuan.

As soon as Wu Xiang saw Zhou Renyuan, he smiled and said, "The Tartar killed by the prince in this battle is like a lost dog, it is really a great promotion of my Ming national prestige!" ”

Zhou Renyuan said in a deep voice: "Governor Lu died in battle!" The king still hasn't had timeβ€”"

Wu Xiang's face changed when he heard this, and he said, "What? Governor Lu was martyred? This-this--"

Zhou Renyuan led Wu Xiang to Lu Xiangsheng's body, only to see that Lu Xiangsheng's filial piety clothes were already red, with three arrow wounds and four knife wounds on his body, and he was still holding his Qinglong Yanyue knife tightly in his hand.

Wu Xiang fell to his knees all of a sudden, choked on his head, and cried and shouted, "Governor Lu! If you die, I will lose another pillar of the Ming Dynasty! ”

Yang Tinglin, Hu Dawei, Yang Guozhu and the remaining twenty remnants of Lu Xiangsheng's soldiers cried loudly together, and the three armies immediately cried.

Zhou Renyuan shed tears and said bitterly in his heart, "I have always wanted to see you, I want to see you, the real hero of the Ming Dynasty, but I didn't expect to see your remains in the end." I couldn't save you, I'm sorry! I'm really sorry! ”

Three days later, Zhou Renyuan's three armies were all tied with white cloths, and Lu Xiangsheng's body was collected and sent to the capital to teach him. Passing by, the people of the Ming Dynasty all wept bitterly, burned incense and bowed to Lu Xiangsheng's hearse, shouting "Governor Lu goes all the way!" ”
