Chapter Fifty-Eight: Rushing to the General Zhao Rate

At this point in the battle, there were a large number of casualties on both sides every minute, and it was not clear who had the upper hand.

In short, although the Jiannu cavalry was fierce enough to fight several head-on, they were despised by the soldiers who defended the island, as well as the young and strong Ming Dynasty who were like turtles, and took advantage of all kinds of advantages to drag them impatient and roar again and again.

But he couldn't open the situation for a long time, but he continued to make local advances, forming a chaotic battle situation in which you have me and I have you.

Before you know it, the battle has been going on for an afternoon, and the cold sea breeze of the evening has quietly descended.

When night came, the smoke was drowned in darkness, but the fire rose to the sky, setting off the cold Juehua Dragon City to be scorching, bright and miserable.

"Forge blood with fire! Only to the death! ”

Huang Chongzhen gritted his teeth and witnessed all this, and saw that most of the area in the city had been separated by the Jiannu cavalry, and the military order of the "dragon head" could no longer be conveyed to the Ming soldiers and young men who were fighting fiercely in various parts of the city.

Fortunately, because of the full preparation in advance and the belief in the death of every Ming person, there was no need for too much command.

All that had to be done was to persevere in the spirit of battle until victory suddenly appeared.

Fight to the death fearlessly and sensibly, fight to the death bravely and resolutely!

The fire burned even more vigorously, turning the night red, and also illuminating the distribution of Jiannu's soldiers.

This is what Huang Chongzhen agreed with his compatriots in the street fighting in advance, once night falls, he will ignite all the combustible things around him and become the light of the artillery crew in the dark night.

The three red-coated cannons were still pouring angry shells into the most densely populated areas of the enemy.

Although the hot cannon chamber has never been completely cooled down, and there is no way to form a relatively dense artillery fire in the form of ten consecutive shots, it is still a life-threatening talisman in the eyes of the Jiannu cavalry.

Even in the dark, because of the lighting of the fire, it still points where to fight.

It's just that these primitive beast-like existences have too big nerves and too strong.

For them, death in battle seemed to be an honor, or a destination.

In the place where the fire was most intense, the street fighting was also most intense.

The battle flag erected by Yao Fumin over there has reached the most critical juncture.

The fierce Jiannu cavalry rushed over from all directions, rushing towards the battle flag waving in the wind, as if thinking that once this battle flag fell, then the resistance of Juehua Island would also be completely over.

Yao Fumin has never had the idea of having nothing to do with the battle, since he saw his old friend Jin Guan die heroically in order to cover himself, his only wish is to kill more Jiannu and give his old comrades-in-arms a back.

Then, he died heroically and went to the underworld to find an old friend to compete, who killed more Jiannu.

Therefore, he led the army to resist bravely with the battle flag as the center, and the surrounding alleys and private houses have been filled with too many corpses of Jiannu, but there are more and more of them.

The Juehua soldiers scattered outside, or young and strong, all tried their best to block or want to rescue, even if they filled themselves into the torrent of those cavalry first.

Huang Chongzhen and other gunners almost didn't care whether the hot cannon would explode, and only wanted to smash as many shells as possible into the dense enemy formation of Yao Fumin, the main general of Juehua.

Even Zhao Shujiao wanted to personally lead a thousand cavalry to charge and rescue the honest and fierce general who was besieged.

But he couldn't, because according to the battle plan that had been deduced countless times before, this cavalry was the last trump card of Juehua Island, and it was the existence of the decisive battle of the first battle.

As a result, the only soldiers and generals on the "dragon head" who still maintained a complete structure could only watch Yao Fumin lead the last wave of personal guards, fighting desperately and dying bravely.

At the moment when he fought bloodily and was about to fall to the ground, the battle flag with the simple and vigorous Chinese character "Yao" on it also burned with a bang for some reason, reflecting this man who died heroically in the name of the country and the nation and the glory in his heart.

This scene made the psychology of the Ming soldiers' resolute resistance not only not crushed, but more determined and agitated.

Huang Chongzhen never cried easily, but seeing this situation, he couldn't help but shed tears on the battlefield, and his halberd finger roared angrily: "Open the cannon!" Shoot Lao Tzu! ”

"Boom, boom!"

The red-clothed general cannon used the most sorrowful roar to see off the heroic generals who died in battle.

As a result, the fierce street fighting was at a low point, and the Jiannu cavalry was pleased to find that the resistance in the city seemed to have weakened much in an instant.

However, this euphoria was not destined to last long.

Because, the 1,000 cavalry of Zhao led the sect had finished the formation at this time, and this general, who had the reputation of "rushing", had also stepped on the gray but extremely tough war horse, and rode to the front of the battle.

Huang Chongzhen solemnly entrusted the artillery battalion to Zhou Ji, Peng Qi, Luo Li and others, and also stepped on the big dark horse that had already thrown the horse's hooves and wanted to charge into battle.

Yuan Qi and other Yuan family guards, as well as Jin Shilin and his domestic slaves, also mounted their own horses and followed closely behind.

"Forge blood with fire! Only to the death! ”

"Forge blood with fire! Only to the death! ”

Before the charge, Huang Chongzhen said to himself with a smile, and said to everyone.

Everyone also smiled and said to themselves, to their comrades-in-arms.

"Fight to the death!" "Fight to the death!" "Fight to the death!"

The shouts spread silently but solemnly.

Wu Nage Kankan personally cut off Yao Fumin's head and tied it to the horse, and when he heard this shout, he coldly wiped the blood from his face, and cast his fierce gaze on the dark and heavy dragon's head.

Through the firelight, he saw that on the high ground, there was a mighty battle flag fluttering in the wind, looking at its shape and color, he could see that the general of the Ming army under his banner should be higher than the second general and deputy general of Juehua Island.

Wu Nag's night vision ability is okay, squinted his eyes and looked at it for a while, and then from the only literacy, he searched for the simple black Chinese character engraved on the battle flag, the dragon flying and the phoenix dancing - Zhao.

"There is also a general surnamed Zhao on this small island?"

Wu Neg was puzzled, and he almost shouted in ecstasy: "Zhao Shujiao! It's actually Zhao Shujiao! That's great! It's just great! You! Go and report to Sanbeile, and say that Lao Tzu caught a big fish! Ask him if he wants to come and disembowel in person! ”

He didn't know that in the ancient myths of China, there was a big fish called Kun.

The Kun is so big that I don't know how many thousands of miles it is. If you turn into a bird, you will become Peng. Peng's back, I don't know its seven thousand miles.

Kunpeng is thousands of miles, how can it be killed by a mere slave.

"Wow!"

The soldiers led the order to leave, and Wu Nag cast his cold and fiery gaze on the commanding heights of this small dragon city.

It was the place where there had never been a fire since the beginning of the battle, and it was the only place that the children at the bottom had not conquered and occupied.

"Raid General? Shh ”

Wu Nege thinks that the reputation of "rushing" carried by Zhao Shujiao is simply a joke, after all, among Jiannu, even he, a solid mountain who has attacked a lot of cities, has not reaped this glory.

But this battle was indeed a little unexpectedly bad, and more than 2,000 cavalry had been lost, but only seven or eight thousand Ming troops and Minzhuang who defended the island were beheaded, and there were not as many cavalry as Niu Lu before.

This is an absolute example of defeat among the eight banners with a cloud of generals.

And the most important thing is that until this time, the entire island has not been taken, even if the two generals who have been guarded have been beheaded, there is still a very resilient resistance force, lurking in this dark night.

Vunag never thought that there was a possibility of losing this battle, but he also knew that after returning home, a scolding from his Nu chief Khan would be indispensable.

After all, these cavalry are the core of the Eight Banners! It was the power that his Slave Chief Khan cared about the most!

Therefore, he really wanted to behave well in front of Manggutai, so that after this descendant nobleman returned, he would say something good for himself in front of the Great Khan.

Mang Gutai was naturally very interested in the "big fish", but he didn't know what kind of premonition he was in, so he didn't rush to the island at the first time, but warmed up for a long time before he rode his horse slowly.

In the process, the itchy Vuneg had already begun to act.

He regrouped the cavalry scattered throughout the city on the outer edge of Dragon City, cleared all obstacles in the middle streets, and then regrouped the remnants of the formation and ordered them to lead the charge.

Huang Chongzhen felt that such a tactic was stupid, but it was understandable.

After all, the enemy has only cavalry, what can cavalry do? It's nothing more than a charge.

However, the last section of the middle street leading to the "dragon head" hidden in the darkness, with iron wires, many obstacles, and the help of artillery, was not conducive to the direct charge of the cavalry.

Zhou Ji, the bad guy, was also blessed to the heart, and adjusted the shelling angle of the three red-clothed cannons to the point that it could almost be parallel to the horizon, just because he had heard Huang Chongzhen talk about the various ways of using a solid bullet before.

The first, second, and even third waves of Jiannu cavalry that rushed up were all subjected to intensive artillery bombardment like old oxen ploughing the ground, and even the expected horse archery skills could not be fully utilized, and they were already on their backs.

Wuneg saw that the middle street was full of wailing cavalry, and the horizontal flesh on his face could not help but twitch.

But he is a fierce general who has participated in a series of Mingjin battles such as Salhu, and he will definitely not give up.

I saw him raise his hand and continue to give the order to attack: "Their artillery is cooling!" Take the opportunity to rush up and cover it with a rain of rockets! Illuminate the Ming Army arrangement! Even if it is filled with human life, the faucet must be unscrewed! ”

"Wow!"

In the roaring sound of promises, the prelude to the decisive battle is being opened little by little.

Once again, the three red-coated cannons did not have time to cool down completely, and they only had to open their cannons when they were a little colder, and they fired the cannonballs at the lowest gun position, where the Jiannu cavalry had the most and rushed the most fiercely.

The bird-bearers wanted to shoot all the marbles at once, and neither did the crossbowmen.

But the elite cavalry of Houjin, who were not afraid of death, still used their hot blood to melt the dense fortifications in front of the dragon's head.
