Chapter 429: Dingding Decisive Battle IV

You Shiwei, who broke through the formation of the right flank of the Qing army, did not blindly go to the center of the encirclement to join Chen Cao, and he knew that once he did this, it would be tantamount to putting his more than 3,000 old soldiers in it and waiting for death.

So he decisively chose to break through the formation of the Qing army and kill the entire Qing army directly from the periphery of the encirclement, so that they could show their flaws, and he believed that Chen Cao was not a person who sat still, and he would definitely be able to take people out of the flawed position.

The panic on the periphery Chen Cao naturally saw it in his eyes, he clearly saw You Shiwei's military flag interspersed in the rear formation of the Qing army, he was not stupid at this moment, after seeing this situation, he immediately turned his head to look at Gao Jie and Zu Dashou: "Zu Dashou, you take 3,000 people to cooperate with You Shiwei's action, remember, you can't stop, I believe you are more familiar with cavalry warfare than me." ”

Zu Dashou clenched his fists: "Your Majesty rest assured." ”

As soon as Zu Dashou moved, the Qing army, which was still wandering and riding and shooting before, suddenly followed closely in batches of several horse teams, and Chen Cao looked at Gao Jie: "Six thousand people charged, are you sure to escort me to Abatai's formation?" ”

Gao Jie Ling Ran stood up and clenched his fists: "Your Majesty, rest assured, the last general's life is Your Majesty's, and the last general is death, and you must complete what Your Majesty ordered." ”

Chen Cao looked Gao Jie up and down, then sneered, and rode his horse to take the lead.

"Chen Cao is dying?"

Seeing thousands of people charging towards him, Abatai couldn't help but sneer in his heart, but he was also a little surprised, why did he dare to fight with his cavalry.

"You should take Wang Shi with you at this moment."

Abatai is well versed in the ruthlessness of the Han people against the Han people, but Wang Shi is a scholar, and he has no capital to survive on the battlefield, otherwise he can also get a glimpse of Chen Cao's intentions from Wang Shi's thoughts.

However, if Abatai knew that Chen Cao's intention was to annihilate the Qing army in Xuzhou, maybe he would not have fought so recklessly with Haoge and gave up the battle of Xuzhou out of the city, and if Chen Cao didn't use himself as a bait, how could he let Abatai and Haoge fight Chen Cao in Xuzhou?

Since the enemy had already launched a charge, and there was no reason for his side to dodge, Abatai drew his long knife, inspired the army with a loud Mandarin in Manchu, and then took the lead in the charge.

The two sides got closer and closer, and after a while, the sound of the same collision between the war horse and the weapon came out at the same time, and for a time the cavalry of the two sides at the head of the row fell a large piece.

Even the Jinyi guards guarding Chen Cao's side also suffered a lot of casualties at this moment, the war horse rushed past, and the spear in Chen Cao's hand cut the throat of a Qing soldier, and blood burst out at the same time, a lot of paste on Chen Cao's face.

The blood smelled fishy, but at this moment, Chen Cao didn't dare to stop the war horse at all, once it stopped, it would mean danger, which was also the shortcoming of the cavalry battle between the two sides.

Abatai is extremely sophisticated, back then Yidu and the others just suffered a loss, the Ming army in their eyes was just the image of the border army in the first war of Sarhu, and they didn't pay attention to Chen Cao, a small person who had sprung up, otherwise they would not have given away their lives.

Seeing that Chen Cao's cavalry was getting closer and closer, after Abatai ordered a cavalry shooting, he turned around and began to circle with Chen Cao, and after a chase battle, Chen Cao was surprised to find that the Jinyi guards who followed him actually lost three or four hundred people.

"Emperor, the Tartars are playing with us."

Zhao Xin is not stupid, the experience accumulated over the years has finally come in handy at this moment: "It can't go on like this, we have two horses for one person, and they are three horses for one person." ”

Of the 50,000 cavalry that Chen Cao shot, only 15,000 of the Yulin veterans were You Shiwei's serious troops, and the rest were newly recruited cavalry, and the cavalry and archery skills were child-like in front of the Qing army, and the Yulin veterans who could compete with the Qing army were only a thousand people here in Chen Cao at the moment, so that they were played by the Qing army.

If it weren't for the fact that he had been leading the army as emperor himself, the cavalry would have been defeated not long ago because they could not catch up with the Qing army and the casualties increased.

One person and two horses on his side are constantly changing horses, which is also a burden for war horses, and one person and three horses can not only avoid the fatigue of war horses, but also cause psychological pressure on the opponent in terms of momentum, which is also Abatai's choice.

Even the cavalry and cavalry battles that the Mongols were proud of were defeated by the Jurchens, and how the soldiers of Guannai were the opponents of these barbarians.

Seeing this, Chen Cao immediately turned his horse's head, no longer chasing Abatai, but heading towards the chaos in his northwest, at this moment, Zu Dashou and You Shiwei converged and rushed to the northwest, facing Abatai's third son, Bolo.

Seeing that Chen Cao turned his horse's head to attack the northwest, Abatai sneered, and then shouted out the Ming army's plan, so he also turned his horse's head and personally took the lead, charging towards the Ming army in a real sense.

...

"Fire..."

Knock knock...

On the flagship of the inland water division, Pang Zhifan was commanding his command to bombard Xuzhou City, and the Xuzhou city wall near the Yellow River collapsed after several rounds of shelling.

As such, it also creates an excellent opportunity for the attacking troops.

Wang Xiaojie personally led the team to land, the 33rd Division of the Shenwu Army disembarked five miles away from the Xuzhou River and landed.

In his opinion, it was easy for a guard regiment armed with rifles to enter from the direction of the wall blasted by artillery, and it was easy to rely on the sharpness of the rifles to form a defensive line in the gap.

It wasn't until Wang Xiaojie rushed to the northwest gate of Xuzhou that he found that there was no trace of the Qing army except for a dozen guards dressed as officials who were killed by artillery.

The puzzled Wang Xiaojie rushed into Xuzhou City with the guard group, only to find that the entire Xuzhou City was in dilapidation, and even some places did not know why they actually started to ignite the fire.

"Report to the military seat, the scouts reported that no trace of the Qing army was found in Xuzhou City, that is, not even a single citizen was found."

"Commander, someone was found in the well."

There is a dry well under a memorial arch not far away, and after the torch falls, Wang Xiaojie clearly sees a person leaning against the wall of the well: "Get it up for questioning." ”

It wasn't until the two thin soldiers went down to burn incense that the well was rescued, but it was also weak, Wang Xiaojie looked up and down, and then found that the person in front of him was still a woman: "Wang Xiaojie, the commander of the Daming Shenwu Army in this seat, girl, are you from Xuzhou?" ”

"Little... Little Woman... The little woman is from Xuzhou," the woman looked up and down at the soldiers gathered around, and after making sure that it was not the Qing army, she slowly spoke: "Ask the general for help, the Tartars abandoned the city and ran away, they forcibly took away the people of Xuzhou before they ran, the little woman's surname is Li, and her father is Li Quandao in the Wanli Dynasty Zhishi Liuke;

When the Tartars ransacked my house, they tried to insult the little girl, and the little girl jumped into the well to keep her virginity, and she wanted to die, but she didn't want the well to run out of water. ”

A military doctor had just finished the examination, and then said: "Report to the military seat, maybe because of the collision on the wall of the well when she fell into the well, this girl has no traces of fractures, but has many abrasions." ”

Wang Xiaojie nodded: "Adjutant, take Miss Li down for treatment." ”

After a little episode, Wang Xiaojie also let Wang Xiaojie know where the Qing army went, and after a while, Li Zongcheng led the team to come, Wang Xiaojie said: "At this moment, the battle outside the city is in full swing, and Your Majesty doesn't know how to control the military army, don't care so much for now, Li Zongcheng, your department will immediately go out of the city with this seat to engage the Tartars." ”

"Yes..."

...

"Whew... Call... Whew..."

Chen Cao panted heavily, the spear in his hand became muddy due to the coagulation of blood, especially the place where he held it, as long as he lost his strength slightly, the spear would fall out of his hand because it was too slippery.

After a fierce chase between the two sides, the two brothers You Shigong and You Shilu successfully defeated the Han Army Banner troops, and joined You Shiwei and others who were in a stalemate, but to their surprise, Chen Cao's idea of turning the horse's head to break the game was seen through by Abatai, so he pursued him desperately.

In the battlefield situation at this moment, the You Shiwei brothers led more than 10,000 troops to engage Bolo, Bohetuo who were outflanked in the outermost periphery, and the inner circle was 10,000 taels of blue flag elites, plus the Han army flag cavalry that fled back before, although it was a defeated army, but it was placed next to the elite of the Qing army, even if it could not play a big role, it was not a problem to help the war.

On the other hand, Chen Cao, at this moment, he and Gao Jie and Zu Dashou, who failed to join You Shiwei, were in the center with a cavalry of less than 5,000 people left.

Judging from the middle, Emperor Chen Cao of the Ming Dynasty has been completely surrounded at this moment.

And what he faced was not just encirclement, but the sequelae of the charged charge--- people were sleepy.

Chen Cao stuck the spear upside down on the ground, then took the wet strip of cloth from Zhao Xin's hand, wiped it straight down the tail of the spear, and removed all the blood stains attached to the body of the spear, and then lifted the spear again, but he looked back behind him, and he could clearly perceive that these people were exhausted, just because he, the emperor, was in front of them, otherwise this group of people would have been defeated and scattered.

"Your Majesty, the last general will escort Your Majesty to withdraw first."

Gao Jie spoke behind him, Chen Cao turned his head and glanced at Gao Jie coldly, so frightened that Gao Jie immediately clenched his fists and bowed his head, Chen Cao turned his head again, and looked at the Qing army who began to ride a horse and trot not far away: "In this battle, there is death and no life..."

That being said, at this moment, Chen Cao was also thinking about when the reinforcements he had planned in advance would arrive.

"Zhao Xin, the last charge..."

After Chen Cao finished speaking, he turned his horse and looked behind him and shouted: "Soldiers, I am your emperor, follow me, kill the enemy..."

"Kill... Fight the enemy... Kill the enemy..."
