Chapter 638: Casting a Statue to Praise Merit

Boom, boom, boom, the sound of horses' hooves on the ground overpowered all other sounds, and at this time the shouts in the city, the shouting of horses and the neighing of the moving people of the Jiannu army were drowned out. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Countless lights flew from the east, they danced and swayed, and in the gap between the firelight, the soldiers in full armor flickered among them, and the red and black armor was reflected by the red firelight more powerfully.

Tall horses and mighty warriors rushed westward, raising battle flags fluttering in the firelight, this is a fearless army that has not been defeated for ten years, and they are really fearless and courageous.

Dolgon's face was solemn as he watched the moving red flame array rushing towards him, this formation was extremely vast, the vanguard had approached the rear formation of the Breaker Army that had arrived in advance on the opposite side, and the back was still beating and leaping out of the sky as if it were endless, like a sea of fire floating around.

When the soldiers of the two sides gathered together, the cheers were loud, and the sound of Wansheng was everywhere, and the sound shook all over the wilderness, this time it was not the shouts of the city, but the shouts of the broken army outside the city.

"Old Fourteen, it seems that there is no decisive battle tonight." Azig had joined Dolgon by this time.

Dorgon nodded,

"I'm afraid the total number of enemy troops is more than 20,000, and I don't know how many there are later."

"Our army is tired from attacking for a day, especially the Han army banner, and it is really not suitable for a decisive battle at this time."

Azig looked at the military strength of the Broken Army,

"But since Zhao Lie dares to lead the troops out of the field, hum, then my brothers and I will use Zhao Lie's head to make a wine bottle."

Azig sneered.

"I'm afraid that the old fifteen will rob you, and he will be good for this."

Dorgon shook his head, he had no interest in making wine bottles out of skulls.

"Brother Twelve, although it is not appropriate to fight a decisive battle tonight, our army cannot return to the camp in Beicheng, so it will be garrisoned by the old fifteen."

"You're right, our army must block this passage, if Zhao Lie is allowed to blend into the city, with Jiancheng in hand, our army will be helpless against him."

Azig immediately sent several Goshha to send an order to Dordo in the western city, telling him to hold the camp in the northern city, and he and Dorgon did not have to go back.

At this time, the sea of fire in the east is still being generated, and the night sky in the east is reflected red, which is very different from the dim night in the west.

And the tall and mighty knights on the east side bring light and hope like gods descending from the heavens.

Huang Han and Nan Yong converged with Li Lu at this time, and the Tieshan battalion of more than 6,000 people also came to rendezvous with one person and two torches disguised as more than 10,000 cavalry.

After receiving Huang Han's order, Li Lu painted the scoop according to the gourd and concocted it in the same way, and immediately made a large number of torches to respond, and at the same time sent fast horses to report to the soldiers behind.

As for the special existence of the Iron Fist Battalion that followed them closely, Li Lu did not force it, because the Iron Fist Battalion moved slower and was not suitable for long-distance attacks.

At this time, the firelight in the sky was somewhat exhausted, and just when Dolgon and the others thought that Zhao Lie's department was nothing more than that, the firelight in the sky was in full bloom again, and a large number of nebulae attacked.

After months of horseback practice, it will definitely not be possible to let these soldiers get on horseback to fight the new battalion and the Korean army, but there is no problem with marching on horseback, of course, their riding skills can not be done when one person and two torches go forward, but they can't stand up to them There are 15,000 people, and there is no need to disguise.

Azig and Dolgon's faces were solemn, they didn't expect that Zhao Lie had so many cavalry troops under his command, which was a bit terrifying.

The two of them were deceived by Huang Han's strategy, thinking that there were 30,000 people in the Shidao Battalion and Tieshan Battalion that had arrived in advance, and now there were 10,000 or 20,000 cavalry in the large array of the Broken Army on the opposite side, wouldn't this be a crowd of 40,000 or 50,000 soldiers.

If it was other Ming troops, there were 100,000 cavalry, and the brothers didn't care.

But Zhao Lie and his broken army don't need 100,000, as long as there are 40,000 or 50,000 cavalry in front of them, it will be difficult to deal with.

It's not that the Qing army doesn't have the confidence to defeat these 40,000 or 50,000 cavalry, the Jurchen iron cavalry has no opponents at all in the field and is never afraid, but according to the resilience of the Broken Army in the past, the Qing army is afraid that it will suffer heavy casualties, and the most fatal weakness of the Qing army is that compared to the endless manpower of the Ming people, their Dingkou is too limited.

Therefore, they are the ones who can't fight to the death, but the Ming army has never forced them to fight to the death, otherwise a big defeat will make the Jurchens feel painful, and it will take ten years to recover.

Zhao Lie also received a report from Li Lu in the front, and he immediately ordered the Iron Fist Battalion to return to the artillery battalion, and he and the 500 guards commanded the Jeju battalion, the Hwasin battalion, and the Korean army to support.

Zhao Lie was also afraid that he would not be able to help, and the Qing army would attack, and the forward of the Broken Army would probably be passive.

Fortunately, he arrived in time, and the addition of 15,000 soldiers completely dispelled the opponent's impatience.

Huang Han, Nan Yong, and Li Lu immediately went to meet Zhao Lie.

"Our army has traveled twenty miles for a long time, the horses are tired, Jiannu did not attack, we are just repairing,"

Zhao Lie pointed to the Qing army on the opposite side that was still in the whole team without the slightest sign of attack,

"However, our army must hold the passage to the east, after all, the follow-up artillery battalion, iron fist battalion, North China battalion, and South China battalion. The Daonan battalion is still on the way to come, and it must not let a large number of people and horses of the Qing army rush over. ā€

Huang Han, Nan Yong, Li Lu and others took the order and left.

Zhao Lie immediately sent a few guards to the North China Battalion and Guan Ming's South China Battalion who knew Ma Quanfu to arrive as soon as possible, while Huang Maolin's Daonan Battalion escorted the artillery battalion to arrive with the Iron Fist Battalion, after all, the speed of the artillery battalion was the slowest, and if it were not for their drag, the Broken Army would have been able to reach the city of Jinan three days ago.

After Zhao Lie arranged the affairs of the rear formation, he urged the horse to come to the front of the formation, and the Jiannu formation in front was two miles away, and the military formations of the Jurchens, Mengren, and Han Eight Banners were distinct, as if they were not a family under the same battle flag, but more like an ally with a master-slave relationship.

This is the status quo of the hierarchical Qing army, it is a strength and a weakness, it depends on whether the opponent can catch it, and no one has used this to inflict heavy losses on them so far.

There are not too many torches on the opposite side, and during the dim light and smoke everywhere, it seems like a visitor to hell on a dark winter night.

Whether the future of Huaxia is bright or dark is in this battle, Zhao Lie touched the short bearded heart that was already quite imposing under his chin and said, ten years of life and gathering, he has entered middle age from a hairy guy, well, in this era, after thirty, he will reach middle age, and the average age of this era may not even be in his forties.

He looked at the sneaky man on the other side and became more and more sure that God had asked him to come here to do this, turn the tide and revive the prestige of Huaxia, the pride of the sky.

"My lord, the Jiannu soldiers are in Xiazhai." Nan Yong's eyes were excellent, and he pointed in the direction of the Han Eight Banners on both sides.

Zhao Lie looked there, indeed, a large number of Han Baqi's men began to dig the ground as a trench, and they were competing with the frozen land, which was really a good helper and a good dog for the Jurchens.

What a hound, Zhao Lie smiled sarcastically, he didn't plan to show mercy to these so-called Han people who had forgotten their ancestors and wanted to exterminate them together.

"It seems that Jiannu will not attack tonight, and it is estimated that he will be frightened by the 50,000 troops of my broken army."

Zhao Lie's words made Huang Han, Li Lu and others laugh loudly and arbitrarily, and Li Xuan, Yantian Qingxi and others also laughed on the side.

Indeed, now there are only 30,000 soldiers here, which is an absolute disadvantage compared to the Jiannu army and the broken army.

But the nothingness of the torches in the dark night and the prestige of the broken army made Jiannu not dare to attack, which is also rare, you must know that the Jiannu army was fearless and wanton attack on the Ming army in the past.

If it was other Ming armies, this move would also be self-defeating, but the prestige of Zhao Lie and the Broken Army was enough to intimidate this most ferocious opponent.

"Huang Han made a decision on the spot, skillfully used clever tricks, saved the city of Jinan, and saved the lives of 200,000 soldiers and civilians, you remember, in the future, outside the east city of Jinan, Huang Han will be cast into a bronze statue here, so that the people of Jinan will always remember Huang Han, the life-saving benefactor."

Zhao Lie pointed here with a horsewhip.

"I will obey my lordship's orders." The crowd bowed solemnly.

"Ahem, my lord, isn't this a little too much."

Huang Han was a little flattered, he had not yet praised the heroes in the Ming Dynasty, even the twenty-four heroes of the former Tang Lingyan Pavilion were just portraits and praises, could he do it, Huang Han was a little dizzy.

"Those who have contributed to the people and those who have contributed to the society have made a statue of praise, in my Zhao Lie's opinion, it is never an exaggeration,"

Zhao Lie pointed at the Jiannu army on the opposite side with a horsewhip,

"Brothers, Huang Han has left his own bronze statue of praise in Jinan, and those who have made great contributions in this battle will not hesitate to reward, whether he is a Han, a Jurchen, a Mongolian or a Korean, a Japanese person, he can leave his bronze statue here, this is a national war for meritorious service, and he will be waiting for a vacant position."

As soon as Zhao Lie's domineering words came out, everyone responded with a bang, and the atmosphere was warm.

As a martial artist, whether it is the Ming Dynasty, North Korea or the Japanese are the existence of grievances, when there is such a good thing that the statue has been passed down through the ages, Li Shimin's Lingyan Pavilion 24 heroes are all heroic figures that have been passed down through the ages, and even today their exploits are widely praised in Shilin.

And the trend of breaking the army is too obvious, as long as this battle is victorious, Jiannu will no longer be an opponent, and the Ming Dynasty, hehe, there is no possibility of resistance, from the dragon's work is a foregone conclusion, the lord Zhao Lie is a reward for his twenty-four meritorious heroes, these generals can be compared with such a figure, and they can be passed down through the ages, and the blood on their bodies is boiling.

"Okay, this is tomorrow's business, tonight the Shidao Battalion and the Huaxin Battalion will dig the trench first, and we will also repair it at night, and we will fight tomorrow."

Zhao Lie said.

Nan Yong, Yantian Qingxi and others hurriedly bowed down to receive the order.

The two sides began to dig trenches to build a simple camp, and these tasks at night should not be neglected, after all, in history, how many soldiers and soldiers have lost their lives and how many generals have lost their reputation. (To be continued.) )
