Chapter 92: The Battle of Guanxiang
The white-armored elite soldiers poured out of the box in a steady stream, and the soldiers of the Ming army kept throwing out iron bumps that could be exploded, and the smoke and dust billowed from the explosion on the east side of the entire gate, and the rumbling sound of the war drums suddenly became rapid, and there were bursts of shouts in the Ming army's formation, as if they were provoking and as if they were cheering.
The Fangzheng on the wall of Andingmen is really dazzling to see. This style of play has never been seen before, and it is indeed effective, and the Qing troops who rushed to the front have killed and injured countless people. But the strength of the Qing army's combat strength was also highlighted, even such a shocking scene still did not make this group of Qing soldiers in white armor retreat, but became more and more courageous.
Seeing that the Qing army was only a dozen steps away from them, the Ming soldiers who threw iron lumps began to retreat. Fang Zhenghua's eyes showed a hint of incomprehension, the retreat of these Ming troops became chaotic and unorganized, and it was obvious that their training level was so low that it could not be lowered. It's hard to imagine that these people were beating the Tartars a moment ago.
At the same time, Fang Zhenghua was also secretly glad that the previous explosion stirred up clouds of smoke and dust, blocking the Tartars' sight, so that they did not dare to rush out lightly, otherwise just look at this chaos, a single impact can completely defeat it. But these Ming troops were lucky after all, and they withdrew into the army formation. But at the front were three rows of infantry armed with spears, but if you look closely, these spears are not the standard equipment of the Ming army, they are clearly made of fresh poles, which are more than twice as long as the spears of the Ming army.
A pile of new discoveries, so that Fang Zhenghua's heart is full of suspicion, Shandong Town General Liu Zeqing's army is by no means this style, he has not seen it when he rotated Liaodong to defend the border before, in terms of combat power, it is not strong, but the training level is definitely better than the Ming army in front of him. Lu and Hu are not like each other, Sun Chengzong is good at generals but not good at generals, and he can't find a suitable candidate after thinking about it.
"Woo woo woo ......"
"Knock Knock Knock ......"
After the Qing army's formation, the horns and war drums also sounded in an instant, and the white-armored elite soldiers who rushed out of the pass gathered into an ocean like a trickle, and pounced on the Ming army's spear array with overwhelming momentum.
The gun array is like a hedgehog armed to the teeth, although there are only three rows, the depth is very shallow, and hundreds of sharpened spear heads are densely pointed forward, bursting out with a breath of death, which makes people daunting.
Fang Zhenghua was stunned to find that the white-armored elite soldiers of the Qing army seemed to be fearless of death, and slammed into the dense gun array that heralded death like moths to fire. But the white-armored elite soldiers are not expensive is the elite of the elite, although the gun array is scary, but the people behind the use of the person do not seem to be flexible, the white-armored elite soldiers and to the front, suddenly fell and rolled forward, several rolls to reach the feet of the spearmen, the steel knife in the hand was repeatedly sharpened, the feet of the Ming soldiers were cut off at the knees, and suddenly Hula fell down a large piece.
The spear army was in danger of collapsing as soon as they first met, and Fang Zhenghua was really holding a cold sweat in his palms, it was obvious that the combat effectiveness of this Ming army did not match the momentum they could show before. His heart sank little by little, and suddenly he shook again. The commander of the Ming army should be bluffing, and he just hopes not to be discovered by the Tartars.
In fact, Fang Zhenghua's worries were also too nervous, because he was on top of the high city, overlooking the battlefield, that he noticed the Ming army's color from many details, the Qing army on the ground was separated by many passes, and the smoke and dust caused by the explosion and the gunpowder burned filled most of the battlefield, I am afraid that it is difficult for Zhuge to find these imperceptible details in the world.
Just when Fang Zhenghua thought that the Ming army's spear formation was about to collapse, a group of Ming troops suddenly rushed out from the left flank near the side of the city wall, carrying heavy bags on their backs, and their pace was fast, although the formation was scattered, it was extremely purposeful.
This Ming army saw that the scale was about 100 people, and after it was completely unfolded, the bag on his back was unloaded under his feet, and with lightning speed, he took out an iron lump from it, and suddenly threw it out after a few pounds, and one hundred and ten iron lumps drew a very beautiful arc in the air, and fell into the white-armored elite soldiers, and the explosions one after another completely disrupted the offensive rhythm of the Qing army. The white-armored elite soldiers who rushed out of the box one after another rushed straight to the hundred and ten people, trying to relieve the siege of their comrades.
Seeing that it was another fierce battle, he heard the sound of gold and iron on the battlefield suddenly sound, and the white-armored elite soldiers suddenly rolled back like a receding tide, leaving the battlefield at an astonishing speed.
Fang Zhenghua's heart fell into his stomach temporarily, and he sincerely admired this Ming army that seemed to be a mess of training, but it was quite combative. In particular, he was quite curious about the commander of the Ming army, but he wanted to see who was leading a group of Ming troops who were so contradictory to argue with the Qing army.
While he was thinking about it, he heard a sharp voice calling him.
"Fang Gong, Fang Gong, long live has a will!"
It wasn't until someone pulled his shirt that he came to his senses, and he saw that it was Du Zhiyi, followed by Cao Huachun's righteous son.
"Long live has a purpose, and immediately order Cao Gong to enter the city, by the way, there is also a Qiu Ba named Li Xin."
These are not the point, Fang Zhenghua asked: "Long live the matter of the eldest son of the slave chieftain?" ”
"After the table, they were also escorted into the city, and when the identity was confirmed, they performed the gift of Kai to offer prisoners, so as to strengthen the morale of my Ming soldiers!"
The little eunuch who followed behind Du Zhiyi hurriedly stepped forward to salute, "It's still bothering Fang Gong to hang the little one in the city!" ”
……
On the west side of the gate outside Andingmen, the Dolgon and Duoduo brothers watched the battle for a long time and finally felt that the Ming army on the other side was much stronger than they imagined.
Seeing that the white-armored elite soldiers swept back in the Guanxiang dwellings like a tide, Duoduo wanted to transfer the Han army to continue the battle, but was stopped by Dolgon.
"The opponent is obviously prepared, and a frontal attack is half the effort, so it is better to break through from the side."
Duoduo thought about it and nodded yes, the frontal attack didn't even take advantage of the white-armored elite soldiers, wouldn't it be for nothing to let those pig-like southern barbarian slaves go? In fact, the reason why the combat power of the white-armored elite soldiers was greatly reduced was that most of the factors were due to Guan Xiang's division and dispersal of his military formation. Once Dolgon faced up to the Ming army, this disadvantage became a serious problem that could not be ignored.
Dolgon also because it was too easy to eliminate Chen Guowei in Jizhen, and even the blood stains of Chen Guowei's head had not dried up and solidified, which also underestimated this Ming army, and unexpectedly kicked it to the iron plate.
The discussion between the two brothers looked directly at Lu Zhifan on the side, and he had a bitter smile on his face, and he was both happy and sad to see that the Ming army had repelled Dolgon's white-armored elite soldiers. I am happy that the Ming army has won, but I am sad that I am in prison, and I am afraid that these victories will have nothing to do with him from now on!
"What are the Southern Barbarians laughing at?"
Duoduo noticed Lu Zhifan's undisguised smile, and waved his big fist to fight.
"If the Ming army wins, the feudal clan should laugh, and if the general is dissatisfied, draw his sword and face each other!"
Dolgon unexpectedly found a trace of death in Lu Zhifan's words, which is also something he values very much, although a person has a good body, it is not a small flaw to lack the character he should have. Lu Zhifan's failure to die in the city at the moment of being captured is a stain that he cannot ask for in his life, and this is one of the reasons why Dolgon despises him in his heart.
Therefore, when Dorgon found out that this man was unwilling to surrender, he was still happy with the desire to die, which further deepened his desire to tame this person.
Originally, Li Xin was the best choice, in his opinion, the martial arts have always valued practical profits, and after a series of courtesy and combo punches, these horsemen who are not bound by Confucian morality have to obediently enter the courtesy. Unexpectedly, this Li Xin was blindsided, this son's surrender was fake, but his opposition to the Qing Dynasty was true, which hindered his plundering plan, and he almost gave up halfway.
At the beginning of Li Xin's abduction of Haoge and his rebellion against the Qing army's camp, Dolgon still had the idea of being able to subdue him. It wasn't until he successively killed Mazik, Aobai and Yuetuo that Dolgon gradually gave up the idea of taking it for his own use, first, the grudge was too deep, the magnates could not tolerate him, and he would also incur unnecessary hostility for himself. The second is that this person was betrayed by the civil officials of the Ming Dynasty, but he was still able to kill the generals of the Qing army one after another, and went around to actively resist the war, which shows his firm will to resist the Qing Dynasty.
And the Lu Zhifan in front of him is different, he has too many concerns, regardless of Lilu but only attaches importance to that merit and fame, the Han people have a saying that no desire is rigid, this is very true, as long as people have desires, it is equivalent to weaknesses.
"Sir, tell this king about Li Xinqi!"
Lu Zhifan looked at Dolgon in surprise, but he didn't say a word. Dolgon smiled: "This king just wants to hear more about Li Xin's story, this is not such a secret, it is not considered to betray your Ming court, right?" ”
Lu Zhifan was surprised that Dolgon had just eaten Li Xin's defeat, and he didn't seem to be angry at all, but talked about Li Xin like an old friend, which was really much unexpected to him. If this person is not humble and open-minded, then the city is very deep, but it is a good material for a king.
Li Xin's information is really not a military secret, so what if he listens to it?
"But I don't know which one you want to hear?"
Dolgon smiled: "Whatever, whatever, such as background, preferences, or is he good with him in Gaoyang?" After that, he squeezed his eyes at Lu Zhifan.
Lu Zhifan said in his heart, such frivolity is not the behavior of a master.
"Li Xin's son was originally a horse thief in Zhili, and he was exterminated and captured alive by the imperial court in the spring, and he was originally executed after the autumn, and he never thought that the Tartars would enter the ......."
"What did the Southern Barbarians say?" Duoduo continued to bluff with his big fist, and Lu Zhifan was undaunted, and without Dorgon's permission, he didn't dare to move half of his hair. What's more, he wished that Duoduo would kill him.
"Sir, don't ignore him......"
"Speaking of which, this Li Xin is also bold, he dared to directly collide with Sun Ge Lao, but because of this, he also entered Sun Ge Lao's sight and was able to emerge, and Gao Yang also held on for two more months."
Suddenly, someone came to report.
"The southerners are using baskets to hang people into the city......"
Looking up, sure enough, there was a large basket hanging on the wall on the east side of Andingmen......
