Chapter 451: Under the Pine Mountain, Chengchou Descends (Middle)

In history, Xia Chengde lost his sincerity to the Qing army when he had no reinforcements outside and no grain and grass inside, and in this life, Xia Chengde also chose to surrender to the puppet Qing when he learned that Wu Sangui and Dongyu had joined the army and that Songshan had become an isolated city.

On the seventh day of November in the thirteenth year of Chongzhen, after the puppet Qingrui prince Dolgon and Wuyingjun king Azige led two white flags and two yellow flags to the front line of Songshan, Xia Chengde took his son Xia Shu as a hostage, and hung a rope from the city that night to index the Qing army into the city.

With the military might of the Eight Banners, Xia Chengde launched a mutiny at dawn on the same day, leading the army to attack the Jiliao Governor of Songshan City, and Azig personally commanded the Shaanxi general Cao Bianjiao Department in the northern city of Songshan, and at the same time, the Manchurian soldiers outside the city also moved and launched a comprehensive general attack on Songshan.

For a time, the sound of killing in Songshan City shook the sky, and there were red-eyed Manchurian soldiers everywhere, and the remnants of the Ming army in their sleep did not have time to form effective resistance, so they were scattered and fled by the rebels under Xia Chengde and the Manchurian soldiers selected by Azig himself, and many people were even killed to death by the Manchurian soldiers who came in their sleep.

"Damn, Xia Chengde of the dog day has joined the slaves, go down to the city with Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu will tear him alive."

Cao Bianjiao, the chief soldier of the Shaanxi Left Association who guarded the southern city of Songshan, was furious, and he raised his gun and beckoned the Shaanxi deputy generals Jiang Zhu, Rao Xun, Zhu Wende and others around him to go down to the city to kill the enemy.

Cao Bianjiao, a native of Datong, Shanxi, is only 31 years old this year, brave and brave, since he was a child, he followed his uncle Cao Wenzhao and Beiyu Liukou to fight, and has made many military exploits.

In the eleventh year of Chongzhen, Hong Chengchou entered the battle to suppress Li Zicheng, Cao Bianjiao killed very much, and was promoted to the governor of the left capital because of his merits.

"Marshal, the city is already in chaos, there are chaotic soldiers everywhere, the last general only saw the fire on the side of the superintendent's yamen, and then there is no point in going to reinforcements, it is better to counterattack the Manchurian soldiers outside the city now, attack it unprepared, or it can be defeated into victory."

Zhang Dou, who was also in the southern city of Liaodong, saw that the main force of the Qing army was moving closer to the north city of Songshan, and that Dolgon's royal banner was still erected in the southeast corner of Songshan Mountain, so he proposed to Cao Bianjiao to go out of the city to attack the enemy.

"Well, they captured Governor Hong, Lao Tzu went to capture Dolgon, Ben Shuai heard that Li Xingzhi, the governor of Shandong and Liaodong, captured Yue Tuo in Laizhou, and today Ben Shuai also came to capture the puppet king alive, brothers, go out of the city with Ben Shuai to capture Dolgon."

Cao Bianjiao, who had been in battle for a long time, was not afraid of Songshan being broken by the Qing army, but proudly carried his gun and rode his horse, and led the four thousand Qin troops in his headquarters to kill Songshan Nancheng like a tsunami.

Jin Ge was in a formation, the horses' hooves were rolling, and in a desperate situation, the Qin army burst out with the courage to die.

As soon as the more than 4,000 cavalry of the Qin army left the city, they were divided into three units under the command of Cao Bianjiao, and more than 1,000 people per share were deployed in a relatively dense formation, forming a cavalry column of three miles outside Songshan City, and went straight to the place where the banner of King Dolgon was.

"Quick, hurry up and open the cannon, hurry up and fire the cannon, the herald is going to send a message to Prince Rui, the thief in Songshan is going to be desperate."

The earth-shattering shouts of killing shocked Zhang Bushan, the commander of the Zhenghuang Banner Protector Army who stayed in the camp, and he did not expect that the Ming army would dare to launch such a large group charge when the city was broken.

Dozens of 600-pound artillery pieces deployed in the Qing army camp roared first, and the dense barrage swept down the cavalry that rushed into 200 steps, and the fallen war horses rolled out more than ten steps away with the huge inertia, and one after another the heroic Qin cavalry was knocked to the ground by the cannons, leaving only the lonely war horses to let out an endless wail.

Immediately afterwards, the musketeers of the Han army banner also began to line up to shoot, and the battlefield was filled with gunsmoke, and one by one the guns with the roar of death kept penetrating the bodies of the Qin cavalry.

Cao Bianjiao endured huge casualties, and rushed towards the camp of the Qing army with a horse pistol. The galloping horses were like flying meteorites, leaping over the trenches and crashing into the wooden wall like meteors.

Facts have proved that it is not only the Manchurians who dare to launch a suicidal assault, but the Qin army in Shaanxi also has the feat of not fearing death, braving the rain of bullets and storms, brandishing the carbines and long knives in their hands, and slashing fiercely at the ropes that bind the wooden fence.

"Boom ......!"

A section of the wooden fence finally collapsed in the frenzied chopping of the Qin army, and countless Qin cavalry poured into the Qing army camp along this gap.

"Nanban, you give me ...... death!"

Before Zhang Bushan could ignite the cannon in front of him, he was pierced through his chest by the cavalry spear thrown by Cao Bianjiao.

"Kill it, Ben Shuai is going to tear Dolgon alive!"

As the wall was broken through by the Qin army, the front camp of the Qing army was completely chaotic, and there were Manchurian soldiers strangled together with the Qin army everywhere, and there were galloping war horses everywhere, shouting and killing, and the sound of fire and fire rang out.

In the melee, Cao Bianjiao had lost control of his cavalry, and his eyes were only on Dolgon's big tent, which was less than three miles away from him.

"Ming thieves are crazy, don't they care about Hong Chengchou in the city? Stop them with Pontus. ”

Dolji was frightened, he was also a battle-hardened general, but he really had never seen such a ferocious army, Zhang Bushan had more than a thousand vests and dozens of artillery pieces in his hands, and even a pillar of incense was defeated by the Ming army, and even the general's flag was cut down.

"It's a good ......!"

Seeing another Qing army coming out, Cao Bianjiao was not afraid, but aroused his blood, hung the horse pistol in his hand on the saddle sedan chair, and then lightly stretched the bow and drew the arrow, shot seven feather arrows in a row, and then took the gun and went straight to Dorji.

"Puff, puff, ......!"

Four or five of the guards guarding Dorji fell in an instant, and even Dorji's golden helmet was carried out by the whistling feathered arrows.

"It's so cruel, it's too cruel!"

Dorji looked at Cao Bianjiao, who came with a spear on a horse, only to feel his scalp tingle, and his right hand holding the gun kept trembling.

"Don't panic, Dorji, we're coming!"

Obviously, the surprise attack of the Ming army attracted the military horses that Dolgon had drawn out to the northern city, and by taking advantage of Zhangbushan to intercept the gap of the Ming army, the ministers Buyan, Tazhan, Kupilon, Xihan and Turge and others led their men and horses to the two wings of the Qin army.

However, they did not dare to lead the troops forward, but ordered their horses to shoot arrows desperately at the Ming army in the camp.

Seeing the arrival of reinforcements, Dorji also mustered up his courage and led the Manchurian soldiers of his headquarters to guard the gate in front of Dolgon's camp.

The Qin army originally relied on a bloody and brave spirit to go out of the city and fight to the death with the Qing army, and after continuous attacks, it also reached the end of the crossbow, and even Cao Bianjiao was also carrying more than ten arrows, and his back was like a hedgehog.

In the defeat of Songjin and the loss of the elite of the Ming army, Cao Bianjiao was like a lone star in the vast dark night, proudly independent, doing his best to exude his own light and heat, and he showed the blood of the Han people to the people of the world with his fearless courage.
