Chapter 430: The Death of the General Soldier
Early the next morning, the Three Guards Army was fully prepared, the trumpets were roaring, and the neat and orderly infantry battalion drove out of the barracks in columns, and formed a horizontal formation outside the camp that stretched for several miles, and crushed the four major allied forces in Mobei, which were less than ten miles away, and had a decisive battle posture.
Unexpectedly, the Mongol army was about to collapse at the first touch, perhaps because the torture of more than a month had already exhausted their morale, or maybe they didn't want to fight for Jiannu anymore, in short, they had no intention of fighting, and with the defeat of the first infantry army that contacted the horizontal detachment of the Three Guards, the entire coalition army collapsed in an instant like a collapsed dirt mountain.
Under the escort of his own Eight Banners, the Baiyin Tu belt also changed and retreated. He was unwilling but knew that this plan to attack Datong had completely failed. What awaits him will be endless shame and the punishment of the Great Khan.
At first, the Mongol coalition forces of the four major divisions of Mobei were able to maintain a steady retreat as a tribal unit, but with the passage of time and the continuous artillery fire of the Three Guards, patience and morale gradually ran out, and they began to scatter and flee uncontrollably.
Lu Jiu led the cavalry battalion to pursue and slash and kill, and in the end, he almost fell to the ground. This time, not only the Three Guards, but also the Monan and Mongolian coalition forces, which had been reduced to the second line of substitutes, collectively dispatched and began to frantically hunt down the four major divisions of Mobei.
At the same time, Li Xin gathered the Three Guards Army and prepared to advance eastward at any time, and the task of completely clearing the four major divisions of Mobei Mongolia was handed over to the Mongol tribal alliance army in Monan.
Mao Weizhang had never seen such a crisp war, and he had long been subverted by the war that lasted less than two hours. Since his tenure in Yanghewei, the Mongol Tatars have always been a nightmare that follows him like a shadow, and every time the Mongol Tatars break through the wall and enter the territory of Datong Mansion to loot, he is afraid that the guards will not be able to defend the city. Now it's a good thing, General Li's Three Guards crushed the past with the overwhelming momentum of Mount Tai, and it was like destroying the withering and decaying, and the coalition forces of the four major divisions of Mobei were beaten to pieces.
How is this possible? How is this possible? Mao Weizhang asked himself three times in his heart, and when he saw the Mongolian Tatars chasing and killing the Mongolian Tatars all over the field, he really felt that this was not a dream, but a real fact.
Seeing this situation, I couldn't help but sigh at the sky, who can be the hero of the world to the right of Li Xin?
In the western Liaoning corridor, the Ming army advanced step by step after the victory of the Qiantun guard in Guangning, and even repaired the fortress to the north of Ningyuan City, which had the momentum of encircling the Qing army in Ningyuan.
You Shilu has been non-stop these days, with the Guanning army of the department to inspect all the way, from the small group mountain fort to the Xingshui fort, and then to the Baitayu fort north of the big river, these three forts are extremely important, each other is the horns, relying on each other, once the rebuilding is completed, then the Qing army will not be so easy to go south.
Looking at the rammed earth city wall of Baitayu Fort, which was nearly ninety percent complete, You Shilu's chest surged with irrepressible excitement. But at the same time, with deep incomprehension, the Ningjin defense line was so strong managed by Sun Ge Lao, how could it be completely lost in more than ten days?
Suddenly, the drums of war rang out in unison, and wolf smoke ignited. You Shilu took it for granted to look at the dust rolling up in the distance, these days the Tartars have been harassing the construction site of the fort uninterruptedly, starting from the front guard of Guangning to the city of Ningyuan, there has not been a day of falling, although the strength of the other party is not weak, but every time You Shilu is on full alert, leading the Guanning army under his command to wait for the battle, and can always successfully defeat it after a hard battle.
No, here they are again. You Shilu knocked off the dirt on the tip of his boots, turned over and pulled out the Yanling knife at his waist, and shouted: "Get on the horse, fight!" ”
There were more than 10,000 Guan Ning troops around him, and Hong Butang also led 20,000 troops to sit in the front guard of Guangning behind him.
The Guan Ning army under You Shilu gradually accelerated, and seeing the smoke and dust in the distance getting closer and closer, Dantian Luck shouted.
"Kill! Fight the enemy! ”
Immediately after, 10,000 voices in unison, kill the enemy! Fight the enemy! Resounding in the sky, straight through the clouds! Later, two black and yellow ironclad torrents collided together, fighting desperately. You Shilu suddenly sensed an unprecedented pressure, and this pressure continued to increase as the battle progressed, and it seemed to be completely different from the previous Qing army.
The Ming army began to disarray under strong pressure, and even showed signs of retreating.
You Shilu was anxious in his heart, this would never be allowed to happen. Because behind him are the restoration sites of Baitayu Fort and Xingshui Fort, once you retreat, then the previous efforts will be in vain. He gritted his teeth and plunged headlong into the chaotic army, how could the chief soldier and the pro-army let the main general be in danger, and hundreds of people were tightly guarded and killed.
Perhaps it was You Shilu's bravery that was really unmatched, and he was on a rampage under the escort of hundreds of pro-troops, killing in and out, killing the Tartar soldiers in pieces, and having the posture of entering and exiting at will among thousands of troops. Everywhere they went, the Tartar soldiers retreated one after another, for fear of being beheaded by this desperate Ming general.
Driven by the main general You Shilu, the morale of the Ming army, which had been gradually declining under strong pressure, gradually recovered, and successfully resisted the fierce attacks of the Qing army. However, this time the Qing army's attack was different from the previous ones, and it did not retreat lightly, but continued to increase the pressure in an attempt to completely crush the Ming army.
However, You Shilu's bravery seemed to be beyond the expectations of the Qing army, and there was nothing he could do in the face of the brave and abnormal Ming army's general's left and right rush.
You Shilu became more and more brave the more he fought, and he rushed and killed all the way, leaving no armor in the places he passed. As time passed, You Shilu gradually felt that his body began to be exhausted, and when he woke up, he suddenly found that seven or eight out of ten of his own soldiers around him had died, and they were even more surrounded by fierce killing.
Raising his eyes, there were endless Qing troops in all directions, and a faint despair hit his heart, You Shilu once again cheered up and fought to the death, killing a group of Tartars but rushing up a group, as if they could never finish killing, but the soldiers around him fell one after another. His body was gradually lost in the battle, and the Yanling knife held in his right hand had already been curled, as if it weighed a thousand catties, and every time he moved, it seemed to be pulling out the last trace of strength in his body.
Suddenly, a long arrow was shot, and You Shilu only felt a heat in his chest, and was surprised to find a bloody arrow piercing through his chest. The strength of the whole body seemed to be drained in an instant, You Shilu suddenly felt very tired, very tired, his eyelids were heavy as if he was dozing off, and he couldn't open them anymore, and the Yanling knife in his hand could no longer be held, and he slipped down......
The few Ming soldiers who were protecting You Shilu saw that the main general was hit by an arrow, and desperately wanted to protect him, but they were powerless, and a spear stabbed You Shilu in the abdomen, and the superimposed severe pain made him suddenly open his eyes, and his rough big hand grabbed the spear that pierced into his abdomen, and stared at the Tartar soldier's eye socket cracked.
The Tartar soldiers had never seen such a terrible situation, they were shot through the chest by a long arrow, and pierced through the abdomen by a spear, but they were still not dead, and as soon as their frightened hands were released, the entire spear was snatched away by You Shilu.
You Shilu flipped over the spear in his hand, and the tip of the spear pulled out of his abdomen, bringing out red and black intestines. Knowing that he could not be spared, his chest was full of anger and unwillingness, so he stuffed back the intestines that had been taken out of his body, tightened his armor, and brandished the spear he had snatched in his hand, sweeping and stabbing ......
This terrible scene can frighten the Tartars who besieged him, who has ever seen a Han man dragging his intestines and brandishing a spear to kill without dying, they all thought that this person was possessed by a god and a ghost, for fear of being swept away by him and losing his life.
The Ming army in the distance saw that their main general was under siege, but the Qing army was killing more and more fiercely, and they had already rushed to the ground and could not do anything. You Shilu galloped wildly, killing more than ten Tartars in a row, his eyelids were so heavy that he could no longer open them, and his eyes fell into darkness, and the spear in his hand waved up and down only by instinct, but it became slower and lighter.
But even so, the frightened Qing soldiers did not dare to approach lightly, for fear of being stabbed through by this monster possessed by gods and demons. Finally, the last trace of strength was also exhausted, and the spear fell to the ground with a thud, and You Shilu let out an unwilling sigh in his heart, is it finally over?
His world has since come to a standstill, with no light, no sound, and only dead silence.
……
In the Qiantun Acropolis of Guangning, Hong Chengchou was dealing with the mountain of official documents on the desk, and suddenly his right hand trembled, and the ink on the brush smeared the official documents with a deep and long ink, and he couldn't help frowning, this is not a good sign, could it be that something is wrong?
Sure enough, a moment later, a soldier rushed in with a roar, shouting as he ran:
"Oh no, no, Baitayu Fort was defeated and the whole army was annihilated, and You Shilu's general army was defeated and died!"
"What?"
The brush in Hong Chengchou's hand fell on top of the official document, and the ink splashed everywhere. He still didn't believe it, and suddenly got up and asked sharply, "Say it again?" What happened to Mr. You? ”
The soldier was already weeping.
"Back to the department, more than 10,000 Guanning troops were annihilated, and You Shilu's general army was defeated and died! Tens of thousands of Qing troops are heading all the way south, and this Quang Ninh Qiantun guard is coming! ”
This is really a bolt from the blue, Hong Chengchou is unbelievable, You Shilu is brave and strategic, not easy to follow, even if under the Qing army, he can't win, and he may not be able to retreat, but now the defeat and death of the soldiers is very unexpected, and he shouted again:
"How is this possible? How is this possible? ”
Hong Chengchou hoped that the military report at the front was wrong, and even sent scouts to investigate, but the information he got back was the same as before. He sat down in his chair in a panic, and for a while, there was a rare six gods without a master.
But he was worthy of being the governor of the four sides, and after only a moment of distraction, he regained his senses, and now he had only two paths to choose from. The Qing army was so strong that it was obvious that he had been suspected of luring the enemy to advance lightly, and it was not appropriate to fight hard for the sake of today's plan, so he either immediately raised troops and withdrew to Shanhaiguan and could not hold out. Either stick to the Qiantun Acropolis of Guangning and hold this last barrier for Shanhaiguan.
Hong Chengchou almost did not hesitate to choose the former, but the ruthless reality did not leave him a choice, and soon a soldier came to report that the Qing army had arrived outside the Qiantun Acropolis in Guangning!
