Yan Zhao's Tragic Song Chapter 96 The Battle of a Stone (3)
At the beginning of the battle, the Eight Banners cavalry quickly wiped out the Dashun army under a stone, began to knock on the pass, and assembled in a formation above the Shanhaiguan. Dolgon, escorted by Dordor and Azig, also slowly entered the area and stationed his horse on the Ridge of Joy.
And Tang Tong, who was defeated, because he was a cavalryman, ran ahead, so he successfully escaped the pursuit of the Qing soldiers. But he didn't run to Li Zicheng's main formation, but fled directly down to Bei J, so King Chuang didn't receive the news that a piece of stone had fallen at all.
No news is of course the best news, so Li Zicheng and Wu Sangui's troops began to engage in close combat. The heavy infantry of both sides approached and attacked, the longbowmen lay in ambush in the middle of the formation, firing from their backs or firing directly or projectiles, while the cavalry began to penetrate the opposing formations at once.
Although Wu Sangui had the skill to command the troops and still maintained a formation in the face of attacks in three directions, but when the generals of the Dashun army also began to devote themselves to hand-to-hand combat, especially when these generals began to release their skills, the Ming army suffered a big blow from combat effectiveness to morale, and the outermost layer of infantry was quickly peeled off like coconut shells, and soon the fragile archers who were protected by layers were soon exposed.
Wu Sangui saw the unfavorable situation and began to move forward suddenly, wanting to hold down the position. As his handsome flag moved, a drum beat came from Shanhaiguan.
When the little radish heard the sound of the drum, he lifted his spirits and said, "It's going to start." “
Sure enough, with the sound of drums, the Eight Banners cavalry, which had already completed the formation, began to circle the city to the south, shooting towards the military formation of the Dashun army like a rain of black arrows. The Dashun army was in a stalemate offensive situation, and was completely unprepared for these sudden brigades of cavalry, and suddenly fell into a state of chaos, panic, declining morale, and inability to move.
The troops of the Hongwu Legion were marching diagonally towards the Shanhai Pass, and as Duoduo and Azig rushed down Huanxi Ridge, the arrows of the troops were aimed at the central battlefield, pointing directly at Duoduo.
Soon, when Duoduo swung his saber and cut a group of Dashun light cavalry in front of him in two, a little of his food was inevitably consumed. As a result, the sneak attack force that was about to step into the circle of fierce battle once again adjusted its direction and unswervingly rushed towards Dolgon on the Joy Ridge.
However, to Lei Hao's surprise, Dolgon did not put all his subordinates into the battlefield, and there were always twenty or thirty teams of heavy cavalry by his side, stationed nearby to protect his safety. And among these cavalry teams, the red name of Ao Bai is crowned with the red title of the first warrior of Manchuria. The red body is dazzling.
Da Zhao Wujiang: It's terrible, there is a bow to guard, but I'm afraid I won't be able to rush over.
Andingmen Outer Street Skewers: Yes, if Zhao Zilong was really in front, he could rush forward against the damage, but it took him and Li Mu step by step to go ashore from the sea for too long, and now they are still dragging behind, so it's troublesome.
Step by step: It's not troublesome, he has more than 20 teams, and we have 40 teams, and they are all small soldiers except for Aobai, and they don't know how to put skills, so we should be able to fight. But if Dorgon sees that the situation is not good and wants to run, it will be a real problem. We can't keep up with the fleeing cavalry.
When Lei Hao's Yu Rang appeared on the cordon of Huanxi Ridge on the periphery of the city wall of Shanhaiguan, the cavalry team led by Ao Bai surrounded him with a hula.
These cavalry are worthy of Dolgon's selected personal guards, and their combat effectiveness is obviously much stronger than that of other Eight Banner cavalry, while Aobai is even more barbaric. When the round of the Qing army ended, the troops rushing to the front were already in full shape, and two teams of light cavalry were completely annihilated and withdrew from the battlefield.
However, when the new round began, and it was the turn of the Hongwu Legion to be in the round, more than thirty troops had all entered the attack range, reaching the theoretical maximum output. Although it was the most food set, the road to Dolgon had been blocked by Aobai and his men, so they had to bear this round of concentrated fire attacks in Dolgon's place.
Maybe it was because they were beaten out of the fire in the last round, and many of their generals released their skills on the first shot. Lei Hao's Yu Rang faced Ao Bai head-on, and he did not hesitate to launch the sacrifice for the first time, so Ao Bai and the two cavalry beside him were all seriously injured. Especially in Aobai, there were only more than 3,300 of the 5,000 tiger cavalry left.
Waiting for the end of the round, and it was the turn of the Qing soldiers, only half of the more than 20 cavalry that surrounded it were left, and there were only 1,000 hanging zeros left in the fierce and vicious Ao Bai just now, not only the attack power was greatly reduced, but even the morale was also reduced by a large part visible to the naked eye.
Hua Baigu: What is the first warrior in Manzhou? But that's it, look at my hand.
Skewers on the street outside Andingmen: Okay, I'll leave it to you, but Dolgon will leave it to me.
Da Zhao Wujiang: Don't fight, Dolgon is going to run away.
Sure enough, at the beginning of the round, when Dorgon sensed that Aobai's resistance was not as effective as it should be, he immediately turned his horse's head and ran down the other hill to the Joy Ridge, galloping in the direction of a rock.
At this time, Li Mu and Lin Xiangru had just arrived at the foot of Shanhaiguan City, and the other troops were entangled by Ao Bai and others, all of whom were beyond the reach of the whip, and could only watch Dolgon march away. This thing really deserves to be called the existence of Prince Rui, it is too cunning.
After the end of Dolgon's operation, it was Li Zicheng's turn, and Li Zicheng was followed by Wu Sangui's Ming army, and in the round of the Ming army, there was another drum sound on Shanhaiguan.
Lei Hao was shocked, what kind of moth is this going on? Looking at the middle battlefield again, although the Dashun army is riddled with various negative states and is in an obviously unfavorable situation, the generals are still fighting to the death, and they have not yet realized that they are about to be defeated.
Li Zicheng may want to better grasp the overall situation, or maybe he wants to pick up a group of old brothers, not only did not flee immediately, but drove the horse forward and got closer to the battlefield. At this time, if Shanhaiguan rushes out of another group of cavalry, it will be able to rush to Li Zicheng's side in two rounds, and as long as Li Zicheng can be entangled for a while, Duoduo and Azig will all rush over.
Lei Hao's breathing suddenly accelerated, and his nails dug deep into his flesh. He couldn't help but regret that he was bent on achieving the greatest results, so he sent all his troops to Huanxiling, and did not leave a few teams to follow Li Zicheng to help him block the sword.
The two teams that were originally dragging behind, Li Mu and Lin were similar, because they were also the most food set, they were completely outside the main battlefield at this time, and they didn't care about Li Zicheng's life or death at all. Alas, it would be nice to change it to priority recent.
As Lei Hao expected, with the beating of drums, several groups of cavalry rushed out of Shanhaiguan. However, the cavalry ran upwards and surrounded Dolgon.
