On the battlefield near Dongxi, the sound of killing shook the sky, and the sound of guns and cannons was endless.After the initial panic, the Eight Banners gradually calmed down, and the bird guns began to shoot back under the cover of the trees, the archers squatted on the ground and threw arrows to both sides, and the infantry held shields to block the arrows and bird guns on the mountain.Seeing this, Fang Guoan immediately pulled out his knife and roared angrily, "If you don't win, you will die, kill Ben Shuai!"
”The Ming soldiers who were hiding on both sides suddenly roared angrily, raised their swords, picked up their spears, jumped down the hill, and charged the Qing army.The first to suffer was Zhang Bingzhen's 5,000 Fu Biao, after they were ambushed, the chaos was abnormal, and the Ming soldiers rushed down like a rainbow.These green battalion soldiers were powerless to form a formation to block, and the Ming soldiers were soldiers, soldiers against soldiers, and generals were constantly cut down by the Ming army.Different from the chaos of the Green Battalion soldiers, the quality of the more than 4,000 Eight Banner soldiers was obviously a lot higher, when the Ming soldiers rushed down, the Eight Banners soldiers knelt on one knee and fired first, and in the "bang bang" gunfire, the Ming army in the front was beaten to the back and fell down.Immediately afterwards, the archer pulled the bow apart, pointed diagonally at the sky, and did not aim at an arrow, then a javelin and a short axe.The Ming soldiers kept falling to the ground, and their momentum suddenly leaked, and when they crashed into the sword players and pikemen, they had lost the momentum they had when they rushed down.In the face of the impact of the Ming army, the Eight Banners showed their strength, Li Shuotai ordered the sword players to form a line outside, and the pikemen responded according to the center, forming two impassable defense lines on the left and right, guarding both sides of the road, bows and arrows and fire guns in the middle of the two defense lines, all relying on long-range firepower, shooting the Ming soldiers who rushed down from both sides.Fang's Ministry of National Security is considered elite among the Zhejiang soldiers, but in the world, it can only be regarded as third-rate.At this time, the number of ambushes was comparable to the strength of the Qing army, and after the initial panic, the Qing army gradually stabilized its position.Fang Shiyan saw that the Ming army was not chaotic with the Eight Banners, and he was in a hurry, so he personally swung his sword into battle, but was shot in the eye by an arrow from the Eight Banners, and immediately bled all over his face."
Major General!"
Seeing this, the soldiers were horrified, and hurriedly drove Fang Shiyan back.When the surrounding Ming soldiers saw this, some people followed and retreated.Fang Shiyan was furious, pushed away his own soldiers, held the arrow shaft with one hand, pulled it out with a roar, and threw the arrow on the ground, "There is no life or death today!"
Whoever dares to retreat this arrow will be killed himself!
”"Kill!"
Seeing this, many pro-soldiers reflexively killed the Qing soldiers with red eyes, and the Ming soldiers desperately attacked the front of the Eight Banners.Fang Guoan stood under the banner of the mountain, his face showed an anxious look, and among the Eight Banners soldiers trapped on the road, Li Shutai was also very anxious.According to the intelligence of the Qing army, it is impossible for Shaoxing Mansion to have so many Ming troops, and these Ming troops are obviously not newly recruited, but the elite of the Ming army.Looking at the banner, the person who ambushed him was the Ming general Fang Guoan, which shows that his actions and intentions have been known by the Ming army, and the Ming army may have retreated from Hangzhou, so there must be a Ming army coming here.The Ming army had the opportunity to fight, and there was no point in continuing to fight, so it was necessary to quickly move closer to Duoduo's main force, occupy a place on the south bank of the Fuchun River, and lead the army across the river to have a chance to completely defeat the Ming army.Li Shutai's face was hideous, and he roared angrily: "Swing your teeth and follow me!"
”More than 300 real Manchurian vests, with hideous faces urging war horses, launched an impact on the Ming soldiers who were blocked in the rear, and the cavalry galloped to shoot arrows, threw javelins and short axes, and smashed them on the shields of the Ming army, and the javelins shot through the shields and nailed the corpses of the Ming soldiers to the ground.The heavy cavalry, dressed in heavy armor and horses also wearing armor, lowered their lances and aimed at the Ming soldiers, seeing that they were about to collide.At this moment, there was a whining trumpet in the distance, and Li Shutai raised his head and looked north, and reinforcements from the Ming army came.He couldn't help but change his face, and on the hills in the distance, there was a dense crowd of figures, thousands of Ming soldiers, holding weapons high and killing the sky.The Qing army, which was supposed to stabilize the front, suddenly fell into a panic again.The muscles on Li Shutai's face twitched, knowing that he couldn't run away, he looked left and right, his eyes locked on a hill on the side of the road, and suddenly the sword pointed, "Rush to the left, kill the hill and defend it!"
”After speaking, Li Shuotai waved his knife to the left, and the Eight Banners followed closely behind, and they all attacked to the left, and the Ming army on the left was caught by mistake, and was broken open by the Qing army to a gap, but the Eight Banners attacked to the left, which was equivalent to giving up the defense on the right side, and the soldiers on the right side of the Ming army took advantage of the situation to cover up and kill the backward Qing army.The resistance of the Qing army on the road completely collapsed, and the Ming army naturally would not let them go, and the reinforcements who rushed in, without taking a breath, threw themselves into the pursuit.…… The sky is getting dark, and the fierce fighting on the battlefield has come to an end for the time being.On the hills and roads, the Ming army with torches cleaned up the battlefield, picked up weapons, removed corpses, and led away ownerless war horses.Three miles away from the road, under a mountain peak called Jinniuling, the Ming soldiers used four wooden sticks and a rag to build a simple temporary command post.The Ming soldiers with torches, holding spears, were guarding outside, and Zhu Yihai, the king of Lu, was wearing armor and sitting inside.At this time, Fang Guoan, who was holding the hilt of the knife in his hand, entered the tent surrounded by the generals, and said with an excited smile: "Your Highness, the minister!"
”Zhu Yihai got up happily, helped Fang Guoan up, and picked up Fang Shiyan, who had wrapped half of his head, took the hands of the two of them, and said emotionally: "The general's father and son, it is really the stone pillar of the country!"
”Fang Guoan was quite complacent, "Your Highness, the minister is fortunate not to be dishonored, and he defeated Li Shutai!"
”Zhu Yihai nodded excitedly, "General, how was the result?"
”Fang Shiyan hurriedly replied: "Back to His Highness, more than 5,000 enemies were killed, more than 1,000 people were captured, and Li Shuotai only had 3,000 remnants left, trapped on the mountain!"
”In terms of the number of enemies killed and captured, it can be said that the Qing army suffered the greatest heavy defeat since Jiashen, and it was also the greatest result achieved by the Ming army."
Good!"
Zhu Yihai praised loudly, "Solve Li Shutai as soon as possible, after this war, King Gu will personally celebrate your achievements!"
”Fang Guoan clenched his fists and said: "Your Highness, the minister will launch a general attack early tomorrow morning, 40,000 troops, destroy his 3,000 remnants, and end the battle within one day!"
”…… Jinniu Ridge, there are several torches lit on the top of the mountain, and under the light of the fire, you can see the Eight Banners who fled here all over the mountain.On the narrow mountain range, more than 3,000 Qing soldiers were crowded, and they were standing, standing, or lying, and they no longer had the arrogance of being the elite of the Eight Banners.The defeated soldiers of the Eight Banners sat with their backs against each other, or against stones and trees, their eyes glazed and their expressions miserable.After the Eight Banners entered the customs, they had not lost a battle, and they were extremely arrogant all the way.Today they finally suffered a heavy defeat, they were surrounded by the Ming army on the mountain, they lost almost all their baggage, they could not eat food for a few days, and there was no water on the mountain, and after drinking the kettle, they had to drink urine, and finally they could only die of thirst.On the top of the mountain, the wounded soldiers lying on the ground kept moaning and wailing, and the despair began to spread, tormenting the spirit of the Qing soldiers.Li Shutai, the son of the number one traitor, sat on a big rock, and his helmet did not know where to throw it, revealing a wounded scalp and a rat-tail pigtail.Compared with the desperation of other Qing troops, Li Shutai still maintained his fighting spirit.At this time, he tore off a piece of close-fitting underwear, cut his fingers, squeezed out the blood, wrote a letter asking for help, handed it to the two Eight Banners who were kneeling on the ground, and said in a deep voice: "Put it away!"
The two of you take advantage of the night, be sure to send this letter out, and ask King Yu to send troops to rescue. ”"Wow!"
The two Eight Banner soldiers saluted and hurried down the mountain.Li Shutai immediately comforted the generals around him and said: "Don't worry, whether you believe it or not, Prince Yu will send troops to rescue."
If we guard the mountain, we may not be able to cooperate with the king of Yu and defeat the Ming army, and we will be humiliated. ”Several generals did not echo, but nodded silently.…… (Thank you for your support, ask for book list promotion, ask for monthly passes, recommend, subscribe) ()
