Chapter 821: Piercing through the enemy camp
readx; It was the 6,000 light cavalry led by Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youzhen who entered the Houjin camp from the Yiwulu Mountain. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info They lurked in the mountains from noon, and did not creep down the mountain until nightfall. When the time came, he suddenly raised fire and made a big noise, and sure enough, after the fight, the Jin army was caught off guard.
And the two leading fire dragons, the left is the Shanhaiguan General Soldier, the Mongolian Iron Han Mangui, he personally led a thousand Mongolian light cavalry to rush straight to the junction of the Jinhan Army Banner and the Blue Flag. After a round of dense arrow rain, Man Gui took the lead, raised a machete weighing dozens of pounds, used the knife as a gun, and slammed it into the wooden fence of Houjin Yingzhai. These scars were originally tied with sturdy wooden stakes with the thickness of the bowl, which were extremely solid, but they could be hit by the people and horses of Man Guilian, and immediately burst into all directions, and a gap was opened!
The light cavalry behind Man Gui raised their swords and followed the main general to rush through the gap. They are all Mongols, with strong figures and superb horsemanship, if they meet the heavy white-armored soldiers of the Jurchen Eight Banners, they may not be opponents, but they are as easy as chopping melons and vegetables for the soldiers of the Han Army Banner in front of them.
After they rushed into the camp, the speed of the gallop did not slow down at all, but dexterously bypassed the cowhide tents one by one, and swiped up with torches, and in an instant, hundreds of tents had already ignited into the sky. Taking advantage of the chaos of the Han army's banner soldiers, this light cavalry shot with arrows at a distance and chopped with sabers at a close distance, and never loved to fight, but the tea kung fu had already passed through the camp in the Houjin camp!
The leading general of the other fire dragon is Cao Wenzhao, the main general of the Guanning Iron Cavalry. At this time, he was wearing heavy armor and an iron helmet, revealing only blood-infused eyes, and even the war horse was draped all over his body, which was the standard configuration of Guanning's iron cavalry. Zhu Youzhen only asked for a quick word this time, so he was all light cavalry, and only Cao Wenzhao was heavily armed. Of course, his war horse is also a purebred Dawan horse that is one in a hundred, otherwise he would not be able to bear such a large weight. He was followed by a thousand elite light horsemen temporarily allocated to him from Li Laiheng's command.
Cao Wenzhao, like Man Gui, also smashed through the wooden fence to enter the enemy camp, but the later tactics were completely different. He did not hide from arrows from all directions, for he was not afraid of heavy armor; Not even the enemy's tent was hidden, but went straight ahead. When he saw that he was about to collide, he used an iron spear to slash left and right, tore a big hole in the cowhide tent, and then passed through the tent like that! I don't know how many soldiers of the Han army banner were picked up by Cao Wenzhao with a spear before they had time to put on their pants in the tent; The rest of those who were lucky enough not to die were buried under the overturned tent, and then trampled into mud by the roaring torrent of cavalry!
Under the ferocious assault of these two fire dragons, the Houjin camp had already become a pot of porridge. However, their disaster was not over yet, because the four thousand light cavalry led by Zhu Youzhen had already formed a large circular formation, pressing up like an overwhelming dark cloud.
Among the 4,000 light cavalry, there were 2,000 cavalry from Man Gui, and the remaining troops of Li Laiheng, all of whom were elite soldiers who had been on the battlefield for a long time. Under Li Laiheng's central command, the circular formation maintained a neat formation, further widening the gap between Man Gui and Cao Wenzhao, and advancing towards the Daling River city wall several miles away.
Due to the surprise attack of the Ming army from Yiwu Lu Mountain, the Houjin army did not know that in the middle of the two iron barrel-like encirclements not far from each other, there was actually an elite reinforcement of the Ming army, which was completely defenseless. Zhu Youzhen attacked at night again, coupled with the incomparable courage of Man Gui and Cao Wenzhao, and immediately broke the enemy camp.
There were originally both Mongolian Eight Banners and Han Army Banners stationed here, but the Mongolian Eight Banners were all cavalry, although the combat effectiveness was not as good as that of the Jurchens, but after all, it was a nation on horseback, and the ability to escape was not ambiguous. Therefore, they only suffered some losses at the beginning of the battle, and soon scattered and fled, without paying many casualties.
However, the Han army banner was not so lucky, they were mostly infantry troops, mainly responsible for the task of being "cannon fodder" during the siege of the city and consuming the defenders' troops, but they were not good at field warfare. However, the place where Mangui and Cao Wenzhao impacted was exactly the junction of the Han army's blue flag and the blue flag, and the Zuo Lingfu, who was in charge of the night, was killed in the chaos as soon as he engaged in the battle, and the remaining soldiers ran up like headless flies, and the arrows and knives were slashed and trampled on, and there were countless casualties.
Zhu Youzhen, who was in the middle of the circle formation, saw that the assault was going well, and immediately hit the army to raise the Huangluo umbrella cover. Yuan Chonghuan felt that it was inappropriate, and tried his best to persuade: "Holy Lord, the target of the Huangluo umbrella cover is too obvious, if it is discovered by the Tartars, it will definitely storm here..."
Zhu Youzhen shouted loudly: "I just want the defenders to see that I am the royal driver!" Our strength is far inferior to the enemy's troops, and we must boost our morale and fight for our lives in order to survive the death. Quickly go and inform Man Gui and Cao Wenzhao that they want the left and right armies not to fight, dig through the enemy camp, and enter Dalinghe City as quickly as possible! ”
Sure enough, just as the Houjin camp was stirred up like a boiling pot by six thousand light horsemen, the head of the Dalinghe city also broke out with a burst of earth-shattering cheers, and then the city gate was opened, and hundreds of heavy armored cavalry with the same outfit as Cao Wenzhao were killed out of the city like steel monsters, followed by hundreds of horse archers.
Originally, the Han army flag had been killed and dizzy, at this time, the Ming army was attacked inside and outside, how could it resist it? Many of the soldiers didn't even have time to put on their armor, and the weapons they picked up were thrown into the ground, and there was only one thought left in their minds: run, the farther away from this killing place, the better!
The two armies will soon meet, Yuan Chonghuan, as the former governor of Liaodong, naturally recognized the generals under his rule, and at a glance, he was overjoyed and said: "He Kegang, Cao Bianjiao, the saint is here, come and escort!" ”
In fact, at this time, there was no need to escort, the enemy army of the Han Army Banner was already frightened, and in the darkness, it was impossible to figure out how many men and horses there were in the Ming Army, who dared to come over and send them to death?
At this time, Man Gui also sent his horse back, and went to Zhu Youjian's Chinese army with He Kegang, Cao Bianjiao and others. He Kegang was so excited that he couldn't cry, Man Gui glared at him dissatisfiedly and said, "Old He, as a general, how can you be such a mother-in-law?" The holy car is here, and it is not enough to welcome the saint into the city, there are many things to do next! ”
Although Zhu Youzhen didn't know Cao Bianjiao, he had fought side by side with He Kegang back then. However, the military situation was urgent, and he immediately ordered: "The generals gather their soldiers, enter the city immediately and rest for a while, I want to see Zu Dashou immediately!" Man Gui, Cao Wenzhao,... Hey, what about Cao Wenzhao? ”
At this time, everyone suddenly realized that a thousand light horsemen under Cao Wenzhao had gathered over, but he himself was nowhere to be found!
At this moment, a rapid shout of killing suddenly sounded again somewhere behind him. When everyone looked back, they couldn't help but be shocked!
It turned out that the Mongolian Eight Banners cavalry, who had just escaped, were re-arraying, but Cao Wenzhao single-handedly rushed straight into the enemy formation!
