Chapter 694: Copper Basin and Iron Broom
The cavalry ran fast, advancing on both sides, and naturally it was even more galloping. In the blink of an eye, both eyebrows and noses can be seen clearly. I saw Ma Fang wearing his whole body, holding a big knife in the lead, and shouting in his mouth: "Qin Chaxiu is panicking, and the last general will come to escort him!" Before the words fell, the cavalry of the border army and the Jinyi guard team staggered shoulder-to-shoulder, and they had already rushed forward against the Mongolian cavalry chasing behind.
Yan Hong rushed to the ranks of Ma Fang's cavalry, calmed down for a moment, and turned Mahler around. The brocade guards also stopped their horses and regrouped. A rough number of people has been shot dead by the Mongol army, and more than 10 people have been wounded. Yan Hong didn't want the elite troops delivered by Lu Bing to be destroyed by someone before the official battle, and he was shocked and angry. When he looked up, he saw that Ma Fang's cavalry had already fought with the Mongols.
Ma Fang held a big knife in his hand, shouted angrily in his mouth, and urged the horse to gallop on the front line. Facing a Mongolian ten-captain with a spear in his hand, he stabbed at the face. Ma Fang was unstoppable, but he turned his head to avoid it, followed by a loud roar, and the big knife in his hand slashed down obliquely. The Mongolian commander of the ten tribes hurriedly returned to the spear to parry, and with a click, the handle of the spear was broken into two, and the broadsword remained unabated, and slashed the shoulder of the enemy general. The Mongolian ten-master screamed in pain, and wanted to leave, but Ma Fang returned a knife and slashed him on the back, splitting the Mongolian ten-master off the horse. The sword came out, and he didn't look back, and he shouted in his mouth, and rushed towards the next enemy soldier.
In the blink of an eye, the cavalry of the two armies were mixed with each other, and there was no formation or array. Scimitos, spears, maces, and iron rods flew in all directions, sending flesh and blood to splatter. The horses neighed, the helmets fell to the ground, and the dead fell from the horses. The wounded moaned. The screams of the dead. Mix it up. The Mongols are brave by nature, and when they encounter a battle, their eyes immediately shine and their blood is galloping, which is the spirit of the tiger and wolf, which makes them have an absolute psychological advantage in the face of the Ming army, and often chase the dead to the north. Take advantage of the victory and kill. However, this time, the Ma Fang cavalry encountered was a hard bone. The Mongols are fierce, and Ma Fang is even more fierce than them; The Mongols are brave, and Ma Fang is more courageous than them; The Mongols played with their lives, and Ma Fang played higher than them. The main general is not afraid of life and death, and his subordinates are also not afraid of life and death. Swords and guns are everywhere, and they fight well, and the captives and horses are separated from each other, and they don't fight well. I smeared my liver and brain on the ground. However, even though he was wounded and died, no one flinched. Not a single one escaped!
Yan Hong took the brocade guard, and they were all stunned. He also once witnessed the bravado of Kuten Khan's two thousand-man troops in the city of Jinan. At that time, the bandit cavalry led by Zuo Shenlei was basically killed in seconds like a steel knife cutting tofu under the impact of the Mongolian cavalry. After that, when the cavalry of the border army came to relieve the siege, although they defeated the Mongolian cavalry outside the city, it was also because they won more and less and waited for work. However, at this time, the Xuanfu cavalry led by Ma Fang faced the Mongolian cavalry, which outnumbered him, and fought so bravely, which was really unimaginable to him. Damn, there were such fierce generals in the Ming Dynasty, why had I never heard of it before! Could this be another time traveler?
The cavalry battled, and the comparison was fierce, and the battle was not long, and the Mongols could no longer withstand it. The commander who led the team whistled, and the Mongolian cavalry pulled their horses and withdrew from the battle, and the two armies suddenly separated. On the wilderness, two or three hundred corpses were dropped, slightly more of the Mongols, but many of the Ming army. Ma Fang's face was splashed with blood, and when he came to Yan Hong, he hurriedly said: "Qincha, go back to the city quickly, I'll cut off." Otherwise, the captives will come up again! ”
Yan Hong was excited, and said urgently: "Okay, go quickly, go quickly." General Ma, you should also be careful. At this time, Wang Ting and Liu Lian had already put the Jinyi guard team in order, and the injured were also specially arranged to take care of them. Yan Hong gave an order, and the Jinyi guard Cheng Yan's wings retreated in the direction of Malianbao. The iron cavalry of the border army behind them lined up in three horizontal formations and followed slowly.
Marenburg can already be seen in front of you. Suddenly, there were horns again and again, and on the left and right sides of Malianbao, there was a team of Mongolian cavalry, attacking from the flank. At this time, the Mongolian cavalry, who had been following behind and about two miles away, also shouted in unison and galloped up again, apparently to be attacking from three sides.
Yan Hong couldn't help but be a little worried when he saw that there were Mongolian cavalry in front and behind, and even before driving the horse, he might not be able to rush back to Malianbao. Zhang Qingyan walked with him, stretched out his left hand, held his right hand, and said softly: "Don't worry, with me here, you will never allow the Tartar to hurt you." ”
Yan Hong secretly screamed ashamed in his heart, how could he ask a beautiful woman to comfort him. Thinking about it like this, he suddenly burst out with pride, pulled out his embroidered spring knife and shouted: "Listen to the soldiers, the Tartars have destroyed my homeland and harmed my compatriots. Who has not died? For the country and the people, the great man of chivalry! In the end, I really didn't know how to end it, and I jumped out of a sentence from the martial arts novels in my previous life.
Ma Fang couldn't help but be excited when he saw that this handsome-faced young Qincha could shout such a proud word, and said loudly: "Qincha said it well!" The three roads of Tartar are probably ten thousand horses combined. Let's rush to the team to the northeast of him first. After that, he clamped the horse and waved his knife and shouted: "Brothers, follow me to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions, and protect Qincha!" ”
So Ma Fang's cavalry was in front, and Jinyi guards were behind, and they rushed to the northeast together. The two armies were only a few miles apart, and after a while, they fought together again. Ma Fanghu roared again and again, swinging his knife in front, slashing left and right, and his body was splashed with the blood of the enemy so that he could not see the color of his robe. There were more than 1,000 Xuanfu cavalry, and everyone forgot to die, and they fought on a par with the Mongolian iron cavalry in front of them. The horses of both sides advanced and retreated, and sometimes a small group of cavalry cut out and smashed into the ranks of the enemy, invincible; Sometimes some people penetrated deep into the enemy line and were besieged and died tragically. The two sides fought hand-to-hand with knives and spears, but there were also cold arrows and injuries in the chaotic army.
Yan Hong's three hundred brocade guards have also formed a circle formation at this moment. Yan Hong immediately stood in the formation, silent, and the rest of the brocade guards were speechless. The cavalry-to-cavalry fight in the wasteland outside the Great Wall was a bloody battle they had never seen in the capital. Yun Chuqi said in a loud voice: "Qincha, this is a rare opportunity, if we attack from the flank, we will definitely be able to break through the Tartars!" ”
Yan Hong said: "Okay! Brother Yun, everything is under your command! ”
Yun Chuqi immediately ordered to guard Yan Hong with more than 50 brocade guards and stay here. He brought more than 200 people, quickly trotted, and detoured past from the sides of the two sides of the fierce battle. But I happened to see a group of Mongolian cavalry, about a hundred people, trying to make a detour to the flank of the Ming army. Yun Chuqi hurriedly said: "Zhengfei, command fire!" Ye Zhengfei immediately ordered, and more than 200 long-range bird guns of Jinyiwei lit the fire rope one after another, and shot at the oncoming Mongolian army. The Mongolian army also had a large group of muskets, and more than 20 people were immediately shot down. At this time, Jinyiwei used a pre-loaded ammunition pack, and the loading speed increased greatly, and before the Mongolian army rushed to it, it was another volley of volleys, and many people were knocked down. The Mongol cavalry was also very brave, although half of it was swept away by the muskets, the rest were undaunted, and continued to pounce forward, rushing into the ranks of the Jinyi guards, and the two sides fought together. In terms of single cavalry combat strength, most of the Jinyi guards were not as good as the Mongols, but fortunately, they had the advantage in numbers, slashed and killed for a while, and repelled the enemy. However, the original intention of detouring the enemy's flank also failed. Yun Chuqi saw that there was another group of Mongolian cavalry, rushing towards Yan Hong's position from the antipathy, so he had to lead the Jinyi guards to intercept and kill. This group of Mongolian soldiers was about 300 people, slightly more than the Jinyi guards. The two sides fought, and Jinyiwei gradually lost the upper hand. Seeing this, Yan Hong ordered the guards around him, only Zhang Qingyan and Liang Rufei were left, and the rest stepped forward to help.
Zhang Qingyan said: "Xianggong, on the battlefield, you are the boss, how can there be too few guards." Yan Hong said: "Qingyan, you see that General Ma is now tied with this road of Tartars, but the Tartars still have two cavalry coming, if they are surrounded, where will we still have our lives?" Therefore, it is necessary to quickly defeat this road Tartar. If I can't do it, I'll have a few hundred guards by my side, and it's useless! ”
Zhang Qingyan said in a low voice: "Xianggong, if you fill in the guards, you won't be able to turn it around." Ma Zongrong's cavalry can also withstand this road of captives, and turn defeat into victory, I think it is difficult. For now, it's better to take advantage of the fact that the Tartar was tripped by General Ma along the way, so hurry up and let the guards protect the Xianggong to break through. Return to Marlenburg, and then stick to the help, everything is easy to say. (To be continued......)
