Chapter Twenty-Six: Fighting to the Death by the Artemisia Bridge
Yang Lukai said: "Don't worry! We clearly saw Biwu and them break through! It's a pity that General Zhang Yan was killed...... Alas! Lu Xiangyong said: "As long as we can drag the Tartars a little longer, Brother Sheng and Biwu will be safer!" What's the plan for tomorrow? ”
Yang Lukai said: "Our Chinese army clashes all the way! Just rush to the Artemisia Bridge! On the other side of the Artemisia Bridge were Dolgon's two white flags, and around us in Jiazhuang were Yuetuo's elite divisions. It seems that this will definitely attract the two armies to attack together! You'll be able to buy more time for others! ”
Gu Xian looked at Yang Guozhu and Hu Dawei's side again, and said, "Actually, I think Hu Dawei and Yang Guozhu are quite good!" Under the constant persuasion of their subordinates, they did not abandon the adult, which shows how deep their affection for the adult is! I think if they break through the siege, it will be useful to the country! ”
Yang Lukai nodded and said, "Yes!" It's not a pity for us to die! But we can't harm the country, and there are two more generals! Good! Immediately send someone to tell them that tomorrow we will charge first, and then break through! No matter what happens, you have to break through alive. Just don't tell them that our Chinese army is heading towards the Artemisia Bridge! ”
The plan was decided, and they went to rest first. But will the Qing soldiers give them rest? The answer is no!
The Qing army was clamoring for a great advance, and the cavalry continued to charge towards Jiazhuang. The musketeers of the Ming army leaned against the wall, and the streets were constantly firing at the Qing army.
The Qing army did not intend to attack, as soon as it approached Jiazhuang, it often stopped advancing, even if it was a small force advancing, and there were not many damaged men and horses, but it was consuming the ammunition of the Ming army. At the same time, it also made the Ming army unable to rest well, which caused trouble for the Ming army to break through the next day.
Tossed like this for a night, the next day the East just vomited, and the Ming army began to break through! It's just that Hu Dawei and Yang Guozhu broke through on the left and right, and they received an order to die and go out.
The Chinese army, led by Yang Lukai and Gu Xian, rushed towards the Artemisia Bridge. Because Lu Xiangsheng, the main general, was very eye-catching, the Qing army surrounded it in large numbers.
Yue Tuo stood on the high slope and watched, he also saw clearly that Hu Dawei and Yang Guozhu had broken through, and he commanded his men and horses to besiege Yang Lukai and others first.
Yang Lukai and Gu Xian were scattered, although Yang Lukai and Gu Xian attacked several times and wanted to join together, but the enemy soldiers would not let them get their wish, but in the impact of the crowd, they were getting farther and farther away.
Lu Xiangyong shouted: "Lord Yang, it seems that we can't be together with Gu Xian!" Now, all we can do is kill one more Tartar! ”
Yang Lukai looked from afar, he really couldn't see Gu Xian, he smiled and said, "Okay!" Xiang Yong ......" He immediately changed his words: "Yes!" My lord! ”
Yang Lukai shouted to his subordinates: "Everyone follow the adults to serve the country loyally!" Fight the enemy! Kill! "Good!" Lu Xiangsheng's standard battalion are all soldiers dedicated to the country, and of course they are all brave.
As soon as the Qing army heard the adults, they couldn't help but be excited, and they knew that this was the standard camp of the Chinese army, which proved that Lu Xiangsheng was here!
They shouted, "Everyone! Lu Xiangsheng may be here! The cry was like a stinking dung, and the stench of the sky attracted a soldier who was only like a fly to come quickly.
Lu Xiangyong shouted: "Serve the country with loyalty!" Come with me, everyone! With a wave of his sword, he was not afraid of the Qing soldiers, but where the Qing soldiers were, he rushed to wherever they were.
Yang Lukai couldn't help but bow his head with satisfaction, thinking to himself, "Okay!" is worthy of being an adult's brother, and he is also heroic! Yang Lukai followed Lu Xiangyong's charge. Its standard battalion cavalry even charged the enemy.
All of a sudden, the enemy wave was also split by the waves, and many people were killed and wounded.
There were a lot of enemy troops, and the gap was filled at once, followed by a flurry of arrows, this time, Lu Xiangyong was hit by an arrow, and he fell off his horse. Immediately, an enemy soldier rushed up and slashed Lu Xiangyong with a knife, if it weren't for the soldiers behind him who shot down the enemy soldiers with an arrow, Lu Xiangyong would definitely have hung up.
But Lu Xiangyong's situation is worrying! The enemy soldiers had surrounded him. When the two galloping horses swept past him, the two knives rolled and chopped Lu Xiangyong to the ground.
"Your Excellency!" Yang Lukai rushed over, and he saw that there were not many people left in the standard camp. What he thought in his heart was: "If you want to do it, you can be real, so that others think that it is an adult who dies, and it seems that this adult will be safe!" "With Yang Lukai's personal soldiers dispersing the Qing cavalry, that is, all of a sudden, the Qing soldiers gathered again.
Yang Lukai jumped off the horse quickly, and saw that Lu Xiangyong had already lost his breath, he was stabbed twice in the face, his flesh and blood were blurred, and he couldn't see his appearance clearly.
Yang Lukai hurriedly pounced on Lu Xiangyong's body, thinking in his heart: "I sacrificed my body to pounce on Lu Xiangyong's body, and made it look like I wanted to protect the corpse of the adult from the enemy, and the enemy will definitely believe it more!" ”
And Yang Lukai's own soldiers have been killed by the enemy, and the enemy has begun to release dense arrows here. Yang Lukai died with twenty-four arrows on his back.
Gu Xian saw from afar that Yang Lukai and Lu Xiangyong were both killed in battle, he looked into the distance, and what he thought in his heart was: "The master lives!" You must live! It's a pity that Gu Xian can't serve you anymore! ”
He killed himself with a sword, because he was afraid that there were too many enemies, and once he was captured, the enemy would not know what means to humiliate him.
The rest of the Ming soldiers are all heroes who are not afraid of death, they didn't think about living at this moment, they thought that they could kill one more enemy soldier and count it as an enemy soldier.
Therefore, when they start fighting, they are desperate, even if the enemy's big knife cuts over, they still face the big knife, even if it is a knife in the body, they do not flinch, and then use the knife to fight back at the enemy soldiers, and they have to pull a cushion back when they die.
The officers and men of the Ming army fought to the death with the same fighting style. "Drop! Surrender! Although the shouts of the Qing army moved the sky, what they received was a response from the Ming army, and none of the Ming army was a bad seed! They are all patriots under the Lu Xiang Upgrading Camp! Everyone wants to give up a heart that is completely patriotic!
On the Artemisia Bridge. The Ming soldier, whose hand with the knife was cut off, did not give up the battle, he endured the pain, even if the broken arm was still spurting blood out, but he still mustered up a lot of strength, pounced, and threw the enemy soldiers off the bridge.
The enemy soldier below first hit the railing with his body, and then the Ming soldier fell first, but the Ming soldier grabbed him by the collar with his remaining hand and pulled him down.
"Bang" splashed a big wave, and after the two fell into the water, they didn't float again. It was because the Ming soldiers held down the Qing soldiers to the death, and they wanted to sink into the water with him, and everyone died together.
Until the last Ming soldier fell in a pool of blood, he opened his eyes and glanced at the sky and white clouds, and with a smile on his lips, he died.
Yue Tuo has been looking at the battle situation, and he is also concerned about the situation of Wakda, but Wakda has not reported any news, he can't help but be impatient, he sees it clearly, and says, "No! I'm going to have to go to Wakda's aid myself! The situation on this side has been decided! But I don't think Lu Xiangsheng is here! Zhang Biwu is not here either! With a brave person like Zhang Biwu, it is impossible not to have a situation of heroic resistance? ”
Yue Tuo thought of it a little more, so he asked Shuo Tuo: "What about Uncle Fourteen?" Shuo Tuo replied: "Uncle Fourteen said that we should make this great contribution, and he did not interfere, so we did not see Uncle Fourteen's army!" Except for the two white flags of Uncle Fourteen on the other side of the Artemisia Bridge yesterday, they were ambushed, but now they are gone! ”
"Not good!" Yue Tuo complained bitterly in his heart, he knew that Dolgon must have seen through something, there were people and horses in ambush on the other side of the Artemisia Bridge yesterday, but now there is none, it is enough to explain the problem! He was in a hurry, and without further ado, he drove his horse and rushed forward.
The people around them didn't know what the Lord Dao would behave like this, but all they could do was to follow the Lord General closely and not let the Lord General have an accident. The Chinese army followed.
Hu Dawei and Yang Guozhu broke through the encirclement, of course, there is no need to talk about them, there is no matter how important it is, the main thing is to go back to Zhang Biwu and them.
Zhang Biwu and the others highlighted Yue Tuo's encirclement and came to a small hill, where they had to go forward after a short rest. Otherwise, if the Qing army catches up, they won't survive.
Zhang Biwu looked at Lu Xiangsheng in a coma, he sighed and said, "I don't know where Huang Qi and Deng Qianzong's men have gone?" If they don't come to join us soon, we're all going to die here!" ”
Zhang Biwu took a look, didn't he? How many of them are left? There are only Lin Xiangfeng, Zhu Kezhen, Cai Jiuyi, Zhang Pan, and three pro-soldiers. plus Lu Xiangsheng, who has no combat effectiveness, there are only nine of them in total! In this battle, the urgency is like a lost dog, and it is embarrassing.
They were taking out the food and eating it separately, and they were really tired, after all, after a day's charge, and with their injuries, they fell asleep, even if they were leaning against the tree, or sitting down.
Only one point, the hand did not leave the reins, and the horse did not untie the reins, but only loosened the rope that bound the horse's belly. Because they were in danger of an emergency, if an enemy soldier rushed at them, they would immediately jump on their horses and meet the enemy.
Zhang Biwu didn't want to sleep, he had to take on the heavy duty of patrolling, but his eyelids were fighting, and he didn't know what was going on, he tilted his head, leaned on the side of Wanhu Hou, and fell asleep.
"Purr!" Someone snorted and spread from near and far. That's in trouble! Because Dolgon had already placed men and horses nearby, they prevented Zhang Biwu and them from breaking through and escaping.
The men and horses of the Qing army scattered in all directions, even at night, the Qing soldiers did not relax, they were still searching everywhere, and one of the Qing soldiers pricked up his ears and said, "Listen! What is this sound? His companions heard it at the same time and said, "Snoring!" ”
The two couldn't help but be surprised, and said, "Is it the Ming army that broke through?" The two of them searched for their voices and saw Zhang Biwu and them sleeping. Dangerous! Dangerous! Zhang Biwu and the others slept soundly one by one, and they didn't notice that they were discovered by the Qing soldiers! Their lives hang by a thread......
