"If you want to save this era, you must let yourself into this era!"
Zhai Zhe's waist knife slashed, and the blade entered from the top of the opposite Qinglu's head, breaking the skull, and slashing until the jaw stopped the knife momentum. Blood and brains burst out and flowed down the swarthy knife face to the gauntlet, mixing together like filthy sludge.
This waist knife responds to the sentence of great ingenuity, it seems to be unpretentious, but it is actually extremely sharp, and it must be Lu Xiangsheng's favorite thing.
"Is this world like this because everyone is for themselves?" In the midst of the chaos, the absurd thoughts in Zhai Zhe's mind flashed like lightning, but he did not slack off at all. He was not a philosopher in later life, he didn't have the heart to find out these truths, some thoughts flashed, but he wouldn't go deeper, there are too many truths in this world that he can't understand, but the most important thing is to rescue Lu Gong.
The commander of this Qing army was none other than Duoduo, consisting of cavalry inlaid with white flags and red flags, who had fought Zhai Zhe only a month earlier.
Duoduo gritted his teeth when he saw two light horsemen coming to harass him, he was all too familiar with that the person who came was the murderer who had escaped from under his nose.
In the distance, the wedge-shaped cavalry charged straight at him like a sharp sword out of its sheath, and he pondered for a moment before ordering: "Clear the road and let them enter Jiazhuang!" "He now has sixteen thousand cavalry, and as long as he surrounds these people, not a single one of them will slip through the net. Because he wanted to catch Zhai Zhe, the Han man who made Daqing hurt his brain.
Duoduo's attack on Lu Xiangsheng was a complete accident, and as he retreated from Shanxi to Gyeonggi, the scouts captured the escaped Xuandae soldiers.
After several interrogations, I learned that the soldiers and horses of King Qin in Xuanda Town had already been very weak, and only **,000 people were left in the 15,000 army, and the grain and grass in the army had been cut off for four days. Of course, Duoduo will not miss this cheap delivery, and it is too late to tell Dorgon. He was afraid that Xuandazhen's soldiers and horses would slip out from under his nose, so he decided to attack first. If the battle is unfavorable, he will lead the army to retreat, anyway, the Ming army is all foot soldiers, and it will not be able to catch up with his cavalry on the plain.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the battle began, the Ming army was vulnerable, most of the soldiers and horses fled by different routes, and only the Governor Battalion under the banner of the Tianxiong Army could resist.
Where do the soldiers who can only drink gruel without seeing rice grains for four days still have the strength to fight?
The weather was gloomy, and the snow fields were dozens of miles away.
The foot soldiers of the Tianxiong Army were tightly compressed in a space of three or four miles in a radius, relying on the Artemisia River for defense. In order to block the impact of the Qing cavalry, almost all the ammunition in the army was gone, and the three-eyed guns were all hammers, and only the bird guns still had some lead.
The tip of Yang 6kai's long knife pierced the throat of the Qing cap on the opposite side, and with a slight turn, a blood hole came out of the knife, and then dodged to avoid the attack of another Qing captive, seeing that the momentum of the Qing captive who had been besieging was a little slow, and he looked up into the distance, and couldn't help but raise his arms and shout: "The help is coming!" ”
Lu Xiangsheng, who was close to him, put away his sword and looked up, a cavalry in the northern snow field was like an arrow from the string, coming head-on, and the Qing captives retreated in front of them.
"Vice General Zhai! It's Vice General Zhai! Yang 6kai's tears were about to fall, "My lord, Vice General Zhai's rescue is here!" ”
Lu Xiangsheng didn't show a relaxed expression, raised the long knife in his hand again, and shouted: "Kill the enemy!" ”
"Kill!" The Tianxiong soldiers surrounded him and pursued the Qing captives who were slightly defeated.
Suddenly feeling that there seemed to be a dark cloud pressing over in the opposite air, Yang Liukai secretly screamed in his heart, and roared: "Be careful with bows and arrows!" ”
Before the words fell, the dense rain of arrows was under the hood, and the long knife in Yang Liukai's hand danced like a wheel, shooting down several long arrows, and then rolling on the ground to avoid the enveloping range of the arrow rain. Lu Xiangsheng changed into a soldier's clothes, Qing Yu couldn't recognize him as the governor, only knew that the general with a long knife was very powerful, every knife must hit the vital point, and more than 20 warriors died under his knife, so he specially transferred foot archers to snipe.
Although Yang 6kai avoided it, there was no second person in the army with such skills as him, and the soldiers of the Tianxiong Army around him fell. Lu Xiangsheng fought almost close to him, swinging his knife again and again to shoot down the oncoming long arrows, but in the end he couldn't block them all, and was pierced through the collarbone by an arrow and out of his shoulder.
"Your Excellency!" Yang 6 Kai exclaimed, jumped to Lu Xiangsheng's side with an arrow step, protected his right front side, and said, "Retreat!" ”
Several Tianxiong soldiers rushed over and dragged Lu Xiangsheng to the rear army formation to protect him.
The shields around them were erected, and another rain of arrows fell, clanging against the shields.
Lu Xiangsheng sat on the ground, his face pale, and a wisp of blood gushed out along the shaft of the arrow, swimming like an earthworm on the iron armor.
"Your Excellency!" Yang 6kai knelt in front of Lu Xiangsheng, his voice choked, and he regretted it. He fought with Lu Xiangsheng for eight years, and this was the first time he saw Lu Gong injured.
"What are you crying about, I'm not dead yet!" Lu Xiangsheng frowned and was dissatisfied.
Lang Zhong in the army rushed over, and after checking the injury, he first cut off the arrow and said, "My lord, bear with me." Then he gritted his teeth and grabbed the shaft of the arrow and pulled it hard, and the long arrow came out of his hand.
Lu Xiangsheng snorted, and the blood flowed from his shoulder.
Lang Zhong tore off the clothes around the wound, put on the hemostatic medicine, and said, "Don't exert any more force on your left shoulder." ”
Lu Xiangsheng was silent and noncommittal.
The cavalry of Meng Kang's department was like a bamboo, and the Qing captives in front of the Artemisia Bridge got out of the way, allowing him to fight all the way into the enemy formation, and there was no blood on the battle axe, which made him very unhappy. The bridge was littered with corpses, the cavalry trampled through, and under the iron hooves were pools of blood and flesh.
The cavalry bypassed in front of the defensive formation of the Tianxiong Army, and stopped on the flanks, waiting for the formation. Zhai Zhe led the cavalry of the Chinese army to follow, and Zuo Ruo assisted Feng Qin to resist the pursuing Qing army, and slowly crossed the bridge.
Zhai Zhe dismounted, and the Tianxiong sergeants were in good spirits, standing in three columns, with their backs to the Artemisia River, and a horse-rejecting spear was placed in front of the formation.
The Qing prisoners all around saw that the two armies of the Ming army converged, and the offensive slowed down slightly.
Zhai Zhe didn't care about the surrounding fight, and walked into the Tianxiong military camp. Lu Xiangsheng was sitting in the snow, his eyes fell on him, watching him come from far and near.
"Your Excellency!" Zhai Zhe was in armor, it was inconvenient to salute, and when he saw Lu Xiangsheng's appearance, he couldn't help but feel heartache, and arched his hand, "It's too late in the end!" ”
"What are you doing here?" Lu Xiangsheng's voice was like a cloud floating in the air.
"The last general will come back to escort the adults to break through!"
"Since I let you go, you shouldn't come back!" Lu Xiangsheng regained his stern color, and there was a trace of emotion hidden in his eyes. Zhai Zhe's cavalry is a private soldier, and the generals will have the idea of self-respect, he thought that Zhai Zhe would no longer fight for him, the down-and-out governor, but he didn't expect Zhai Zhe to go and return.
The sound of the Qing captives shouting for war was rising all around, and the sound of birds in the Fengqin Department came from the bridgehead.
Zhai Zhe was anxious in his heart, and begged: "My lord, please get on the horse, I will escort you out!" ”
"Where?" Lu Xiangsheng muttered to himself.
"It's really sure to kill you!"
