Chapter Ninety-Six: The General Is Like a Tiger

"It's called Borkin, Huerhan is on it, defeat the Ming army, and you must kill He Shixian!"

Huang Taiji wore a light blue arrow robe, wearing pure white cotton iron armor, some round face was very tight, the whole face was very resolute, he went into battle against the enemy, he was always willing to be on the front line, at this time he had more than 200 elite soldiers around him, not only white armor, but also the stronger one picked out in the white armor, he was looking at the right time, to give the Ming army facing the city a fatal blow.

Whenever he needs to fight for the striker, Huang Taiji never wants to be left behind.

This spirit of forging ahead, to be fair, at this time the Eight Banners are all the same, the top of the Bel Taiji and those big and small elder brothers, the chief officers and deputy generals who have accumulated meritorious battles, the solid mountain Ezhen, Melele Zhen, Niu Lu Ezhen, most of the rushing and killing are at the forefront, if not, with more than 20,000 people in armor, the Eight Banners will not be able to win one victory after another.

After Huang Taiji gave the order, more than 1,000 armored cavalry began to dispatch, and they went out from both sides and turned around towards the pursuing Ming cavalry.

At this time, all the horses dispatched by Houjin were heavy cavalry, not only the knights were wearing two to three layers of iron armor, but the head of the horse was also covered with an iron curtain, and the chest was covered with iron armor, which was inlaid with animal skins, which could effectively resist the damage of bows and arrows.

Huang Taiji saw that there was an old man with white eyebrows in the cavalry team, who was not tall, but had a thick chest, broad shoulders, and was wearing triple iron armor, like an iron-armored monster squatting on horseback. Even among the Houjin soldiers who have generally passed the marksmanship, being able to shoot the bow left and right is a skill that only a few people can master.

"This is the chief soldier and the number of officers." Huang Taiji let out an exclamation, he knew that Eyidu had been in poor health recently. Seriously ill, after seeing Eyidu, Huang Taiji sent a light horse to persuade Eyidu to come back.

"Four Baylor," the light cavalry spun back, and said loudly, "the chief officer said, if you can make a contribution today." It's worth dying on the battlefield, and I don't want to go back. ”

"Good. It's really brave. ”

Huang Taiji was extremely impressed in his heart, and in the war in which the Later Jin annexed the rest of the Jurchen tribes, he also made great achievements and bravely crowned the whole army of the Eight Banners. In today's battle, the old and seriously ill body still has to wear iron armor, riding a horse to fight with the enemy, Huang Taiji feels that his blood is also boiling, at this time, the usual calculations and conspiracies are also thrown out of the clouds.

"Pay attention to Simon." Huang Taiji pondered for a while, and then ordered: "Once He Shixian is surrounded, wait for You Shigong to come out to save him." With his temperament, he is not as good as those generals in Liaozhen, he will definitely come out, when the time comes. With a thunderous blow, he seized the west gate of Shenyang. ”

……

After rushing out of the city for three or four miles, the Ming cavalry finally encountered a siege.

The upset conch horn kept ringing, and there were more and more flags of the Houjin soldiers, those wearing yellow and red. White and blue ironclad cavalry kept coming. The cavalry is four, there are enemies everywhere, there are many ordinary armored horses, wearing black iron helmets, decorated with black feathers, and the Bashiku who carry the flag are commanding in the armored cavalry, and the white armored elite cavalry wearing thick iron armor shining with silver light is hidden in the armored cavalry of the brigade, and they surprise from time to time.

He Shixian and his closest confidant Jiading were wrapped up in the chaos of the army, he rushed back and forth, the alcohol on his body kept rising, making him feel that he had inexhaustible strength, but in any case, the enemy was killing more and more, looking at the past, there were mixed and killing riders everywhere, and the Ming cavalry fought less and less, and most of the wounded and dead who kept falling off their horses on the ground were his family members, the banners were discarded along the way, the war horses were stabbed to death and stabbed, either fell to the ground and died, or lay on the ground neighing, and both men and horses screamed miserably, In the middle of the battlefield, the dust is overwhelming, which is stirred up when the war horses gallop, sometimes the people and dust are trampled on, so that people can't see clearly, only the choking smell of blood and dirt lingers in the nose, lingering.

He Shixian kept calling out the names of the generals and the family members, but the harmony became less and less, and he couldn't call many people anymore.

The queue of the Ming army is becoming more and more chaotic, and the battlefield has become a small circle that is cut off, usually more than a dozen Ming cavalry to dozens of gold cavalry, dozens or more than 100 people are surrounded by hundreds of people to fight, the spear shaft and the gun shaft keep breaking sound, people desperately stab the weapons in their hands to the other party, and even wave it to fight, on such a battlefield, even if they are afraid, they can't escape, the Ming army has been breaking through to the city, but the effect is not good, there are enemies everywhere, and the Houjin Eight Banners have the advantage on each battlefield, They have thicker armor, stronger horses, more comrades-in-arms, and more battlefield experience, even in such a chaotic moment, those experienced Houjin generals kept commanding and deploying, transferring the fresh cavalry to where they were needed, and even cutting off the retreat of the Ming army in advance.

…… No one is resting, and everyone on the battlefield is fighting their last bit of strength.

…… The war horse fell, and the voice was mournful.

…… The ground was littered with dead and wounded soldiers, armor shattered, muscles bursting, blood gushing.

He Shixian was finally besieged.

He is like a brave tiger, before, because the battle situation was obviously unfavorable, many henchmen advised him not to retreat to Shenyang, and to take a detour to Liaoyang from another road, although he may also be intercepted and killed by the Houjin soldiers, but the chance of escape is still very large. He Shixian categorically refused, if Shenyang was not protected, the city garrisoned by 70,000 or 80,000 people would be lost in such a daze, how could he escape?

At this time, only the general soldiers of the Ming Dynasty were killed in battle, and there was really no surrender and fleeing.

Those incorruptible and shameless generals have not yet appeared in groups, more than 100,000 people have fled without a fight, and the atmosphere of self-collapse has not yet taken shape, He Shixian, a man from the northwest, is determined to fight to the death under the city of Shenyang.

He Shixian roared angrily, his armor was shot with multiple arrows, the fine armor protected him, so that he still retained his strength, and the liquor still burned in his chest, making him feel that he was still powerful. His iron whip kept rising and falling, the movement was as fast as lightning, but the strength was as heavy as a thousand pounds, under the impact of He Shixian, it was difficult to have a combined enemy, in the whole battle, He Shixian personally killed at least thirty or forty Eight Banner soldiers, including quite a lot of white-armored elite soldiers.

"What a tiger."

Nuerhachi in the distance sighed and admired, Dai Shan and Amin and others around him also watched He Shixian who was like a tiger on the battlefield, and countless Houjin nobles were appreciative in their eyes, as warriors, they also admired brave warriors like He Shixian, watching him fight all the way to the east gate, where there were the chief soldier You Shiwei and his hundreds of elite soldiers, if He Shixian could rush to the vicinity of the east gate, You Shiwei would definitely go out of the city to help.

"Hmph, it's just brave." Only Huang Taiji's eyes were cold, he sternly refused this time Yi Yidu's request to go to He Shixian to fight alone, with his order, the banner of the Houjin Army was unfurled, and the knights of the brigade rode to the east gate, their quivers were bulging, the arrows were full, everyone gathered together, the dense tail of the arrow was like a crazy growth of shrubs and grass, but this kind of grass contained only the death intention like iron ash.
