Chapter 475: The Ministry is humiliated
He Luo will cheer up and move forward bravely in the thick smoke of gunpowder, completely disregarding his own safety. After the final order was given, even he, the commander, could no longer control the direction of the army's attack, and there were only two paths left in front of him, either rush out and die alive, or die in the battle of these three guards.
He Luohui never imagined that the firearms of the Three Guards had actually reached the point of being superb. However, in a short distance of twenty paces, the Eight Banners armor soldiers actually withstood more than six rounds of musket attacks. It was these muskets of more than six rounds that completely knocked out the morale of the Eight Banners armorers.
These twenty steps are like a chasm, in He Luohui's opinion, the rush is extremely hard, although it is as far as walking two hundred miles, but finally there is a moment to finish. He Luohui rounded the steel knife in his hand and slashed and stabbed indiscriminately in the smoke of gunpowder. However, the knives were all cut empty, but when the last knife was about to lose its strength, He Luohui suddenly felt that the steel knife had slashed into a hard object.
Immediately after, He Luohui felt a gust of wind coming straight through his chest, and how many years of experience on the battlefield saved his life. Instinctively, he dodged half a foot away, and a spear the thickness of a forearm stabbed through the side of his chest.
He Luo was shocked by this sudden shot and broke out in a cold sweat, and wanted to go forward and slash the three guards soldier with the spear, but he was horrified to find that the dense spear stabbed out of the thick gunsmoke.
Although He Luohui was agile, the Eight Banner Armorers behind him were not so lucky, when even dozens of people were pierced by the spears that were stabbed out in unison. Unexpectedly, this row of spears stabbed endlessly, and there was a posture of advancing step by step.
The Qing soldiers could not retreat, and despite the risk of being stabbed to death by spears, they still swarmed up. He Luo will take this opportunity to kill him as well. At the critical moment, he is not stupid, if he rushes forward regardless of it, he may have to follow in the footsteps of those armorers.
But the sound of the salvo of muskets seemed to explode in my ears again, round after round. At first, He Luohui thought that he was hallucinating, but soon realized that it was not a delusion. The Three Guards did fire again, but not from the front, but from their flanks.
Because He Luohui had already made a judgment from the screams coming from the flanks, but all the Qing army armor soldiers were located in the thick white gunsmoke, and their vision was extremely poor, and it was difficult to meet coordination at all.
He Luohui knew the power of this, so he could only let go of his voice as much as possible and shouted to the people around him to impact the military formation of the Three Guards.
"All shout with me, ignore the others, rush forward, rush forward, only by rushing past can you live, all follow me and shout!"
"Onward! Forward! Forward! ”
The Eight Banners Armor Warriors really roared one after another, and soon they had a thousand voices in unison, and they had a great posture of breathing through the sky. He Luo will secretly say that the military heart is available, but in front of Li Xin's three guards, it seems that he can't use all his strength.
The pikemen of the Three Guards Army marched forward, and the Qing army followed one after another, and the two sides fought fiercely together.
Hong Chengchou, who had long since retreated to the edge of the battlefield, had gone through countless battles in his life, but how could he have ever seen such a style of fighting? When he was fighting thieves in the pass, he also used a lot of muskets, but they were useless after only one shot, and more often the role of muskets was only limited to deterring the opponent, and the long-range strike weapon that could really kill and injure the enemy was still feather arrows.
However, the three guards under Li Xin's command were able to fire muskets continuously, and what was even more commendable was that when the Qing troops charged, they waited until they were twenty paces away from their own before firing in unison. And if it was the Shaanxi soldiers under his command, I am afraid that sixty paces away would have already been launched in a chaotic manner.
This is obviously a rigorous training to be so fearless. From the other side, Hong Chengchou couldn't help but have a lot of admiration for Li Xin's training. He asked himself how strict he was in governing the army, but it was not easy to achieve this kind of order and prohibition.
Suddenly, Hong Chengchou noticed that a horse team wanted to approach him, and he became alert. Due to the hasty retreat, his position was downwind, and the thick smoke of gunpowder on the battlefield had gradually drifted over, naturally affecting their vision.
"It's Hong Butang in front? Under the command of the general, the general ......"
It was a staff general under Li Xin, but at this time, the cannon and musket were fired, and the ears were full of the sound of popping beans, so the name behind the word general was not heard clearly.
"It's Motobudo!"
Hong Chengchou's personal soldiers suddenly became nervous, and suddenly relaxed. Another path was opened, and they went straight to them.
There were about 50 people in the horse team, and the staff generals led by them turned over and dismounted, and hugged their fists at Hong Chengchou.
"The general Niu Dan has seen Hong Butang!"
"No need to be polite, General Niu!"
Although Hong Chengchou is unhappy with the slow treatment of Niu Dan, after all, it was someone who saved him, and he still has this endurance, and he is not as knowledgeable as this martial artist. However, he suddenly felt that the name Niudan seemed to be very familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere, but he paused for a while, but he couldn't remember it anyway.
"General Shi Datuo has seen Hong Butang!"
The other military general who followed behind Niu Dan clasped his fists and saluted, Hong Chengchou suddenly realized, aren't these two martial artists who were escorted to Beijing by themselves and intended to frame Li Xin, what a coincidence, or God specially arranged for them to collect debts!
As the governor of the four sides of the palace, Hong Chengchou would not have taken these two people seriously in the past, but he had to put down his body here and now and stretched out his hand to make a false gesture.
"The two generals are working hard, you don't have to be polite before the army, can you lead Hong to meet your general?"
"Hey, I'm sorry for Hong Butang, our generals are busy with military affairs and have no time to come over, this time it is our Vice General Cheng who leads the troops, and our Vice General Cheng specially sent our brothers to meet the ministry in person, after all, they have met at the beginning, and they have dealings, do you say yes!"
Shi Datuo grabbed before the cow egg, and the yin and yang weirdly robbed Hong Chengchou. At the beginning, Hong Chengchou pretended to see them, and his words were high-sounding, and Shi Datuo and Niu Dan have always regarded him as a good person, even if he was escorted to Jingshi, he never thought badly.
It wasn't until later that Niu Dan and Shi Datuo realized it later, and finally understood that they had long been used by this surnamed Hong as a pawn to fight the general.
Now that he has the opportunity, how could Shi Datuo let it go, so he ridiculed him fiercely.
Hong Chengchou's complexion changed several times, he was also a dignified four-sided governor and an important minister of the court, and he was actually a deputy general who sent two counselors to greet him, and he said it in public, this kind of blatant humiliation is unbearable.
Hong Chengchou clenched his hands into fists, but he finally held back and did not have a seizure.
Not only Shi Datuo, but even Niu Dan was holding his breath in his heart. This surnamed Hong didn't have the good heart to plot against the general, why did the general bother to save him? But the general's strict orders had to be obeyed, so he could only bargain for some bargains from his mouth.
Moreover, I heard that this Hong Chengchou was captured by the Tartars, and he may have been regarded as a person who has lost his temper in the court, but the general not only did not take the opportunity to fall into the well, but also helped him a lot, which seemed to help him get through the difficulties.
Although both Niu Shi admired Li Xin's mind, they didn't think so much of the person surnamed Hong.
"Hey, I said Hong Butang, this place is not a place to stay, hurry up and go to a safe place with our brothers, by the way, your soldiers don't follow along, divide into four ways to evacuate, and follow behind......" Then he shouted at the soldiers around Hong Chengchou: "Brothers, the general sent us brothers to welcome the big guy to Jinzhou, and you will be safe immediately." Jinzhou City has already boiled hot water, boiled hot soup, waiting for the big guy! ”
Before the words fell, the remnants of Hong Chengchou's command suddenly cheered.
Shi Datuo spoke extremely politely, and Niu Dan simply said nothing except for a word during the ceremony. The two of them spread Cheng Mingjiu's words, and then led Hong Chengchou's personal soldiers to the north in a group.
Niu Dan received an order to directly take Hong Chengchou safely to Jinzhou City, otherwise he would be served by military law. In such a situation, Hong Chengchou knew that it was not the time to make trouble, although these two martial artists had a lot of tricky words, they really planned to come and pick him up.
The remnants of Hong Chengchou's troops had long been demoralized, and it was difficult to fight again, and after listening to Shi Datuo's words, he had no intention of fighting here, and was ready to go to Jinzhou City to drink hot soup. In desperation, Hong Chengchou is also worthy of acquiescence, he knows that if he stops it at this time, these people may rise up and rebel! followed the two martial artists to Jinzhou.
But Hong Chengchou still pointed to the battlefield and said: "This, this battle...... After all, the Tartars are powerful, and more than one person stays to have a better chance of winning......"
Niu Dan had already urged the war horse to rush out, and Shi Datuo said impatiently: "Hong Butang is still very long-winded, the Three Guards Army is more than enough to deal with them, let's hurry up and follow our brothers to Jinzhou, don't miss the time and let the general blame!" ”
After that, he no longer paid attention to Hong Chengchou urging the horse to speed away, and the others followed in a chaotic manner. Hong Chengchou's robbed white face flickered red and white, trembling all over, and it took a while to ease up, with a long sigh in his chest, and he also hit the horse and followed.
Outside Shanhaiguan, Dai Shan suddenly got a report.
"Master, master, letter from Sanbeizi."
Dai Shan suddenly felt a burst of energy, and he had been waiting for Saha's letter for three days, and now it finally arrived. He snatched the letter from Goshha's hand, unfolded it, and after a few glances, his eyes burst with a burning color.
"Good, great! Pass the order down and act tonight! ”
