Chapter 499: A Meaningful Victory

The dust was flying, the shouts of killing were loud, and the sound of horses' hooves kept beating on the ground, and they rushed towards the opposite side at a rapid speed. In the eyes of the children of the Eight Banners, the Ming Jun cavalry on the opposite side must be vulnerable, as long as their own people rush over, they will definitely be able to defeat them.

Lu Xiangsheng sat on his horse, holding the knife in his hand tightly, and staring at the Jiannu cavalry not far away. Although the opposite side had already begun to charge, Lu Xiangsheng didn't give the order as if he hadn't seen it.

Suddenly, the sound of artillery sounded behind the Ming army's military formation, and countless shells flew towards the Jiannu cavalry. With all the flowering shells, countless Jiannu cavalry were blown under the horse. Seeing this scene, Lu Xiangsheng smiled at the corner of his mouth, glanced at Cao Wenzhao beside him, raised the big knife in his hand, and shouted loudly: "Follow me and rush up!" ”

The explosion of the shells had just passed, and the battlefield was filled with gunsmoke, and the Ming army rushed up under the cover of gunsmoke. However, not far from the meeting, the cavalry of the Ming army suddenly sounded like gunshots. When the two armies had not yet intersected, Jiannu had already suffered a lot of losses.

Dolgon hurriedly ordered a return fire, and countless feathered arrows were fired at the Ming army, but the lethality was not very good. Although the Ming army was not wearing heavy armor, the quality of the armor seemed to be very good, and one person still shouted to kill with two or three feathers inserted in his body.

When a gunshot rang out, Jiannu was suddenly a little confused, but some people quickly reacted, this is the three-eyed gun of the Ming army. Countless people fell under their horses once again, and the lethality of muskets and bows and arrows was unparalleled. It is not easy to kill a person with a few feathered arrows on his back, but the lethality of a musket is much greater.

Before Jiannu could even put the second arrow, the two cavalry were strangled together. With a hot three-eyed gun in his hand, he shouted and rushed towards Jiannu.

Lu Xiangsheng took the lead. The 136-pound broadsword in his hand flew up and down, and there was no one under his command at all. Behind him was his most elite pro-army, closely following Lu Xiangsheng and moving forward.

Looking around, Lu Xiangsheng suddenly raised the big knife in his hand. shouted loudly: "Change formation! ”

The soldiers who followed Lu Xiangsheng immediately shouted: "Change the formation!" ”

With a whip knocking down a rushing Jiannu cavalry, He Shixian laughed and said, "Little ones, follow me and rush this way!" At the same time, Cao Wenzhao and Zhao Shujiao were separated, and none of the four of them led a group of men and horses, and they rushed in Jiannu's cavalry formation in four directions.

The four generals are extraordinary, and all of them are in the lead. No one could stop it, and the morale of the Ming army was suddenly shocked. For a while, he rushed left and right, invincible.

Sun Chuanting, who was standing behind, suddenly laughed, he really didn't expect the Liaodong cavalry to have such combat power, and they could suppress Jiannu in the case of 20,000 against 20,000. He took the drumstick behind him and said loudly: "This commander personally cheers for the soldiers!" ”

The war drum, which symbolizes the commander, sounds. On the battlefield, the war drums of the Ming army all sounded, and the drums on the battlefield suddenly sounded. For a time, the Ming army won a great victory, and the team that rushed out of the battle formation once again rushed back.

At this time, Dolgon led an elite army to meet Lu Xiangsheng, and in his opinion, this Ming army general was the commander of this Ming army cavalry. As long as he is killed, he will definitely be able to annihilate this Ming army. At this time, Dolgon's psychology was unusually shocked, and the shock was followed by anger.

The Ming army actually had such a powerful cavalry, which Dolgon did not expect in any case. However, Dorgon soon decided that he must annihilate the cavalry. Otherwise, the threat to yourself is too great.

For a while, Dolgon divided a few generals to deal with the four men and horses of the Ming army, and as for Lu Xiangsheng, Dolgon felt that he would definitely be able to cut him down.

Soon, Dolgon and Lu Xiangsheng were strangled together, and neither of them expected the other's combat strength, and the fight was inextricable for a while.

Lu Xiangsheng looked at Dolgon as he fought. This is a very young Jiannu general, with a calm gaze and skillful swordsmanship. Through Dolgon's disguise, Lu Xiangsheng knew that this person was a capital commander of Jiannu. It is equivalent to the general soldier on his own side. Sitting in the position of the capital commander at such a young age, Lu Xiangsheng felt that this must be a person with a noble status of Jiannu, and he was secretly determined to kill him.

When Lu Xiangsheng looked at Dolgon, Dolgon also looked Lu Xiangsheng up and down, and what impressed Dolgon the most was Lu Xiangsheng's knife. It has a lot of weight at first glance. If my knife touches that knife, I'm afraid it will only be blown away.

Staring at Lu Xiangsheng tightly, Dolgon knew that this Ming army general was an old enemy, and he must kill him.

Both of them are in the mood to kill each other, and once they fight, it is a battle of life and death, and it is impossible for anyone to show mercy. For a while, the fight was inseparable, and no one could help the other party.

In addition to Lu Xiangsheng and Dolgon, several other places were also fighting on the battlefield, and Cao Wenzhao and several others also met opponents. However, compared to Dolgon, those people were worse, Cao Wenzhao fought alone against three Jiannu generals, and he did not fall behind for a while.

The mood of the two sides watching the battle behind the battle was obviously different, Sun Chuanting was happy on his face, and the drumsticks in his hands kept beating the war drums. Nurhachi and the others on the other side did not have such a good mood, and they all looked at the battlefield without stopping.

The daishan beside Nurhachi couldn't stand it anymore, so he beat the horse and came to Nurhachi's side and said loudly: "Fu Khan, we can't go on like this anymore, let's cover up the past directly." ”

Looking at the battlefield with a slight frown, Nurhachi glanced at Daishan and did not speak, as if thinking about something.

Daishan doesn't seem to understand Nurhachi's actions, why did his father do this? didn't have time to think about it, picked up his clothes and knelt on the ground, and said pleading on his face: "Fu Khan, the thirteenth brother is already in danger, please send his sons to the rescue!" ”

Looking at his eldest son Daishan with a pleading face, Nurhachi lowered his head and thought about it, and said in a deep voice: "Give you 30,000 Mongolian cavalry, and you must annihilate this Ming army!" ”

"Yes, Father Khan!" Dai Shan was immediately overjoyed, stood up, turned over and got on his horse, and went to the back to pick up some people.

"My lord, it seems that Jiannu's side is preparing to send troops again!" The scout came to Sun Chuanting's side and said in a respectful tone.

After listening to the scout's words, Sun Chuanting's face changed slightly, put down the drumstick in his hand, and looked at the battlefield in front of him with blazing eyes. Now that he knew the combat power of this cavalry, Sun Chuanting also felt that it was almost over, and said to the herald on the side: "Mingjin withdraw the troops!" ”

Everyone was stunned, no one expected Sun Chuanting to give such an order, but no one dared to disobey Sun Chuanting's order. For a while, the camp of the Ming army was full of gongs, and the infantry behind quickly retreated into the hard drive.

Lu Xiangsheng, who was fighting with Dolgon, was slightly stunned when he heard the sound of the gong, but he did not dare to disobey Sun Chuanting's order, and led his men to retreat while fighting. The other three generals were the same, all of them retreated with their own men.

Dolgon also did not expect the Ming army to retreat, hesitating whether to pursue, and when he heard the rumbling of horses' hooves behind him, Dolgon understood why the Ming army retreated.

Knowing that his reinforcements had arrived, Dorgon breathed a sigh of relief, but his face was indeed red and white. The battle was not defeated, but it was still a shame in Dorgon's heart.

20,000 against 20,000, he actually reached the point where he needed help, and Dolgon felt ashamed. Throwing his helmet to the ground, Dolgon's eyes were so fierce that he even bit his teeth to bleed. However, Dolgon would not order the pursuit, and the Ming army's camp was not so easy to fight.

In this battle, the Ming army suffered more than 3,000 casualties and annihilated more than 5,000 domestic slave cavalry, which can be said to be a great victory. Of course, compared to winning more with less, such a victory can be said to be not praiseworthy. However, since Salhu, the Ming army and the Ming army could not win Jiannu in the field, and the significance of this victory was extraordinary.

Looking at the four people in front of him, the smile on Sun Chuanting's face never broke, and in them, Sun Chuanting saw the hope of counterattacking the grassland. If the Ming Dynasty can have a cavalry that can earn a good war, it will definitely be able to set the grassland north like Emperor Chengzu did.

"Four generals, today is a great joy, originally no alcohol was allowed in the army, but today is an exception! Come on, serve wine! Sun Chuanting laughed and beckoned outside, and the soldiers who had been prepared a long time ago walked up with plates.

Picking up a bowl of wine for everyone, Sun Chuanting said with a smile: "Although this official is the nominal commander, he still has to rely on the help of the four!" Wait until the end of the battle, the official will give the emperor four merits, today's bowl of celebration wine, the official respects the four! ”

"Xie Dashuai!" The four of them immediately breathed a sigh of relief, Sun Chuanting's face was sincere, and he didn't look jealous at all. However, the four of them didn't dare to hold it up, so they respectfully took the wine bowl and drank it all.

Turning around and walking back, Sun Chuanting laughed and said, "The brothers in Liaodong can drink to their heart's content tonight and give them good wine and food." As for the other teams, tell them that they have this treatment when they win the battle, and if they want to drink wine and eat meat, then give Ben Shuai a good fight! ”

"Yes, sir!" The herald turned and went out.

The four of them glanced at each other, with admiration in their eyes, Sun Chuanting's governance of the army was really unique.

"Go back, all of you! Go back and visit the wounded soldiers, and go to celebrate with the soldiers. As for the military merit reward, a few people can rest assured that Ben Shuai wrote an excerpt overnight, and I believe that the emperor will not be stingy with rewards! Sun Chuanting waved his hand at a few people and said with a smile.

"Yes, sir!" The four men bowed and turned to leave.

Walking out of the big tent, Sun Chuanting looked at the sky, and what flashed in his mind was a person, who was Sun Chengzong, a scholar of the first auxiliary university in the cabinet. What kind of person can train such a powerful cavalry in such a short time? What is the most famous commander of the Ming Dynasty doing at this time?
