Gao Bizheng, who has been in charge of being funny all his life, this last charge really makes people can't laugh at all, even the enemies in front of him have sincere reverence for his iron will to fight. Gao Bizheng dragged his body full of wounds, and the blood marks drawn by the road under his feet became longer and longer, and the last thirty steps of life were worth eternity, more like never ending.

Yes, Gao Bizheng's road is not finished, not because Gao Bizheng is moving too slowly, but because he really can't catch up with the Qing army. The cavalry of more than 10,000 people retreated in the face of Gao Bizheng's lone charge. Immediately, the Qing army in the entire Yucheng County began to retreat, and the soldiers of the Ming army, who were already unable to stand, let out cheers that resounded through the world. "Dashuai, you actually scared off tens of thousands of Tartars by yourself? It's really a roar on the Nagasaka Bridge, handsome, you must be Zhang Yide's rebirth! After the cheers, a fierce artillery fire came from outside the city not far away, in the southeast direction, but it shook the whole land.

Gao Bizheng listened carefully to the voice, turned around and said calmly: "It's the reinforcements that have arrived, long live the Lord sent someone to rescue us!" After speaking, he and Jiang Jianxun supported each other with difficulty, and quietly supported each other with all the survivors, and walked towards the Dongyang Gate in the east of the city step by step.

Li Bai "South of the Battle City"

Last year, we fought the Sangganyuan, and this year we fought the onion river. Washing the waves of the sea,

Let the horses and the grass in the snow in the Tianshan Mountains. The Long March of 10,000 miles, the three armies are aging.

The Xiongnu used killing as farming, and only white bones and yellow sand fields were seen in ancient times.

The Qin family built a city to avoid Hu, and the Han family still had beacons. The flames never cease,

When the battle is endless. Died in field fighting, and the trumpet of the defeated horse sounded to the heavens.

The black kite pecks at people's intestines and flies on the dead branches. The soldier is reckless,

General Kongerwei. But the one who knows the soldier is a murder weapon, and the saint has no choice but to use it.

The elite of the 230,000 banners, besieged the city for more than ten days, lost seven or eight thousand, and saw that victory was in sight, but at the last moment there were reinforcements from the Ming army, and the scale was very huge. Although Dolgon also has regrets, but his heart is more joyful, the small Yucheng will become the brightest place in his life, for this day, he has been waiting for several years.

After issuing the evacuation order to Shuo Sai and Wakda who attacked the city, Dolgon's attention was always on the Ming army in the south of the city, and he was actually very surprised by the arrival of this heavy army group, and said to the people around him: "Lone did not expect to usher in the main force of the Ming army here, this Yucheng is not on the communication between Kaifeng and Xuzhou, Lone is determined to take Yucheng, the purpose is only to eliminate the logistical threat of the enemy of Yucheng to our army." Lone always thought that he would meet the main force of the Ming army in Xuzhou, but no matter where they appeared, they finally appeared. ”

As soon as Shuo Sai returned to the formation, he ran to Dolgon and asked: "Uncle, the little nephew is about to annihilate all the Ming troops in the city, there are less than 3,000 defenders in the city, and all of them are seriously wounded, only the main general Gao Bizheng is still fighting." Dolgon asked, "So you killed him?" ”

Shuo Sai said: "The little nephew doesn't dare, there is an uncle's military order, how dare the little nephew hesitate for a moment!" Dolgon nodded, "There is a poem that says, 'Thousands of miles of politics and people are happy, and the three armies are neighing before the horses.'" 'Now that my Qing Dynasty military and government are serious and neat, is it just like what is said in this poem? Just now, this Ming army was still engaged in battle with our army, and wanted to give support to the city, but when they saw the remnants of the city withdrawing from Dongyangmen, they stopped fighting again. ”

Dolgon paused, then observed the eyes of Wakda beside Shuosai, and found that Wakda did not have the slightest complaint about his decision to suddenly withdraw from Yucheng, Dolgon was very satisfied, and continued: "There is nothing to pity about giving up the attack on Yucheng for the time being, what you want is just the head of the Ming army in Yucheng County, not this broken county seat." The main force of the Ming army has finally appeared, and we must concentrate our forces to prepare for a decisive battle with it, and besides, our army is all cavalry, and it is not good at defending the city. The city attack and defense is what this group of southern barbarians like to do, and my Eight Banners Iron Cavalry should fight in the wilderness, turning all the infantry of the Ming army into dry bones and discarding them in the wheat fields of the Central Plains to make fertilizer. ”

The support soldiers that Dolgon faced were none other than the five armies of the imperial camp of Guan Yinxi and Hong Chengchou. Under the command of Hong Chengchou, this multi-service mixed unit made a super-maneuver at a distance of hundreds of miles. The rapid march almost day and night finally allowed them to arrive at the last moment when Yucheng was about to fall, not only in time, but also half a day earlier than expected.

The five armies of the imperial camp, the whole army is divided into the middle army, the left, the right and the left, and the right post, a total of five armies, is the largest heavy army group of the Ming army, and it is also the heaviest army in Zhu Si's heart. Its name is inherited from the five military camps of the three major battalions of the Beijing army during the Yongle period. The Fifth Army Battalion was the main force of the three major battalions of the Ming Army, which was a mixture of the Ma Infantry Army. In order to adapt to the decisive battle on the plains with the cavalry of the Qing army, the Fifth Army of the Imperial Camp deliberately increased the proportion of chariots in the army and weakened the weight of the cavalry.

The purpose of this army was to at least be able to drive out or attract the enemy's main cavalry in the field, and it was specially designed for the decisive battle on the plains. Compared with the Battle of Songjin and the Ming Army's eight general soldiers and 130,000 armies that were not subordinate to each other, Zhu Si's imperial camp and five armies were all comrades-in-arms with each other, and they could be in step with each other in battle or retreat. In the training syllabus that Zhu Si and Qin Yiming formulated for them, it was very important to be in lockstep. Summing up the experience of the defeat of the Ming army in the past, especially the experience of the defeat in the Battle of Songjin, and after several years of training, the legendary ace main force of the Ming army finally arrived on the day of the big test today.

The 217,000 soldiers of the five armies of the imperial camp, in the face of the main cavalry of the two main banners of the 222,000 Qing army, the imperial camp is obviously at an absolute disadvantage. However, the task given to them by Zhu Si is also very clear, the purpose is to rescue the defenders of Yucheng and come back alive, Zhu Si will definitely not bear to see death for Gao Bizheng, who has supported him from beginning to end. Even if they take out the most powerful power in their hands, they will not hesitate, because they are brothers, comrades-in-arms, and they have a friendship between each other that can give their lives.

Gao Bizheng and Jiang Jianxun came back alive, and there were 2,900 Ming troops who came back together, but including Gao Bizheng and Jiang Jianxun, the people who withdrew from Yucheng only had half a life left. They walked to Hong Chengchou and Du Yinxi from the rest of their lives, and none of them had a happy look on their faces, and their hearts had died together with the 59,000 comrades-in-arms who died in the Battle of Yucheng.

saw Du Yinxi, who had a close personal relationship with him, but the natural comedian Gao Bizheng didn't say a word. From his scattered gaze, all he could see was sadness, which was rarely seen by Gao Bizheng, who had always been Madaha. Jiang Jianxun also forced a smile, and struggled to give a military salute to Gu Yinxi, the secretary of the military department, who was covered in injuries, and now it is difficult for him to make a simple action.
