Chapter 825 A beheading of the prince
According to the battle plan of the Ming army, Hao Shaoqi blocked the estuary, Ma Jinzhong, Wang Guangtai and others caught up from behind, and Azige, who entered Kouhuguang, was the turtle in the urn, and it was over immediately.
However, the old turtle Azig was also very good, and he broke through Hao Shaoqi's blockade, and then escaped from the Ming army's ambush, and rushed to the vicinity of Xinye City.
He really regards the territory of the Ming Dynasty as his own back garden, regards himself as Guan Yunchang, who has passed five passes and killed six generals, and regards the Ming army as a chicken, tile and dog.
Watching the Qing cavalry slowly assemble, under the appeal of Azig, he barely bred up his spirits, and the whole team prepared to charge.
In the Ming army, the generals showed contempt, if Azig really broke through three levels in a row and fled back to Henan, then where would the face of the Ming army go, and the five loyal troops would not be able to make a mud.
As the most elite army of the Ming Dynasty, up to His Royal Highness the King of Chu and down to ordinary soldiers, they are all decent people, and they have a good face, so they have to leave Azig behind this time no matter what.
Although the prince of the Manchu Qing Dynasty is no longer very valuable, the Wuzhong Army is still very willing to accept this dog's head to cast the prestige of the Wuzhong.
"There are more than a thousand more people!" Qin Shangxing stood next to Liu Fangliang and said.
Liu Fangliang looked into the distance, although there were still Qing soldiers pouring into the river beach, but it was already very sparse, there were only 2,000 people in the sky, and it was 2,000 remnants, he had seven or eight thousand people lined up here, if it couldn't be solved, then he would find a brick and knock it to death.
"The Qing army will definitely choose one wing and directly attack, you go back to the right flank now, don't give them a chance, and immediately rush across the Qing cavalry." Liu Fangliang looked at the Qing army and said with squinted eyes.
On the side of the Qing army, Azig cheered up the remnants, if they wanted to survive and go home, they could only break through the blocking Ming army, but how to break through had to be observed.
At this time, there were 4,000 infantry troops in the Ming army and 4,000 cavalry, and he had almost no chance of winning, and he didn't think about any chances, all he thought about was how to escape.
Now to attack the Ming army's infantry formation, it is undoubtedly an act of looking for death, Azig looked at the Ming army who were waiting for the battle, and his heart couldn't wait any longer, and then the Ming army behind him should catch up again.
At this thought, Azig slapped a knife on the horse's buttocks, and the war horse was in pain, neighed, and galloped out.
The Qing soldiers behind him were also in good spirits, following behind Azig, less than two thousand horsemen, roaring out, although their armor was crooked, they also exuded an aura that people did not dare to despise.
After Prince Ying entered the customs, as the general of Jingyuan, he entered Shaanxi from outside the border, repeatedly defeated Li Zicheng, killed Liu Zongmin, captured Song Xiance, and then forced Zuo Mengeng to surrender and destroy the king of Lu, and there was no defeat.
Azig is not as intelligent as Dorgon, but his strength is second to none, and in the current situation, the mind does not play much role, and what the Qing soldiers need is a peerless fierce general who can lead them out of the encirclement.
Although Azig is not a peerless general, he is indeed a brave king, and the Qing soldiers still believe in Azig very much, believing that he can take them out, so they are willing to fight with him.
In the Ming army's formation, Liu Fangliang saw the Qing cavalry, and really attacked the flank, and after wanting to hedge with the cavalry, he rushed out directly from the flank against the Ming army's infantry formation. ”
War drums and horns urge people to forge ahead, left and right wings, after Qin Shangxing and Zhao Shenkuan heard the order, they immediately raised their three-eyed guns, or held their riding spears, and urged their horses out.
The two cavalrymen left the large formation and raised their full speed, like two dragons out of the water, staring at the Qing cavalry, ready to launch a thunderous blow.
Azig's face was gloomy, he raised his broadsword in one hand, and paid attention to the movements of the Ming army with the other, and his face sank a little when he saw that the cavalry on both wings of the Ming army rushed out.
There is no way to avoid it, only by fighting hard, hitting the cavalry of the Ming army, and breaking the blockage of the cavalry, he will have a chance to return to Henan.
"Kill!" With a roar, Azig brandished his sword, exerting his bravery, and nearly two thousand horsemen behind him, also wielding weapons, rushed to him.
The cavalry of the Ming army on the right flank ignited the medicine line, and a piece of gunpowder smoke rose from the cavalry of the Ming army, and hundreds of three-eyed guns were ready to be fired, and more than 1,000 cavalry behind them operated their weapons and prepared to engage in battle.
Neither side avoided it, and there was nowhere to avoid it, and both did not hesitate to rush straight to the other side.
The sound of hooves roared, and the most elite cavalry of the Ming and Qing armies faced off on the river beach, and the momentum was surging.
"Bang bang bang" A dense sound sounded, a white smoke rose from the Ming cavalry, and the oncoming Qing army fell in pieces, and people howled and neighed.
The Ming army didn't have time to rejoice, the cavalry of the two armies had already collided together, and a Ming soldier smashed down with a three-eyed gun, and Azig slashed to the side, cutting the Ming army off his horse.
He staggered past several Ming soldiers who smashed with smashing guns, and suddenly a member of the Ming army in front stopped stabbing at him, he reacted quickly, grabbed the barrel of the gun, but the whole person was slightly stunned, and suddenly his face burst into anger, "How can this be true, Tan Tai, you still have the face to see me?" ”
It was Tan Tai who stabbed him, he was roared by Azig, his heart shook, Azig was very ruthless to him, his face was hideous, he pulled his body tilted, and a knife came to him, and at this moment, Qin Shangxing suddenly killed, and made a big gun as a stick on the war horse, and swept directly, Azig could only quickly let go, took the knife and made a vertical block, and at the same time relied on equestrian skills, and leaned back.
Qin Shangxing's big spear hit the war knife first, and the blocked battle knife lost its original direction, and the body of the gun was raised a little higher, sticking to Azig's backward bent body, and swept across.
This time, Azig was shocked into a cold sweat, he sat up straight, and before he could exhale, an armor-piercing heavy arrow hit his chest, fortunately he wore three layers of armor, plus a piece of silk, the heavy arrow did not shoot him through, only caused a little skin trauma.
The war horse galloped, and when the archery general staggered with him, Azig's lungs were about to explode, and it was a full general who shot him, and when he was angry, there was a sudden scream behind him, which he was familiar with, it was the wail of his second son Fu Lehe, and Azig's eyes were suddenly red.
The spears thrust, the blunt weapons swung, the two cavalry collided, the sound of the golden iron horse was heard, the blood mist was clouded, and the screams and shouts were intertwined, suffocating and maddening.
When the cavalry on the right flank collided with the Qing army, the two thousand cavalry on the left flank also arrived on the battlefield, and the Qing cavalry was hedged against the right flank at this time, and Zhao Shenkuan had to command the cavalry on the left flank to maneuver and circle outside, so as to ensure the speed of the cavalry.
When he turned around for most of the circle, the Qing cavalry finally staggered out with the right-wing cavalry, and at this moment, Zhao Shenkuan suddenly roared, "Kill!" He immediately led 2,000 cavalry to rush to the Qing cavalry who had just come out of battle.
Azig didn't have time to grieve for the death of his second son, he thought that after hedging with the Ming army, he immediately rushed out of the gap between the Ming army's infantry formation and the mountains and forests, so as to escape from Ascension, but as soon as he came out of the formation, he saw the cavalry on the left flank of the Ming army rushing towards him, and he knew that it was over.
With a loud bang, the two armies slammed together, the Qing cavalry was already tired, and just now they rushed for a while, and now they were rushed by the Ming cavalry again, and they were immediately broken by a sharp sword like bamboo.
When Azig came out again, there were only 1,000 of the 2,000 cavalrymen left, his own helmet was gone, his armor was torn, and he was hit by arrows in seven or eight places.
At the moment when the Qing soldiers came out of the battle, there was no suspense, and after a detour, the cavalry on the right flank pounced again.
Azig raised his sword and sandwiched his horse, intending to fight again, the oncoming cavalry on the right flank, ignited the three-eyed gun again, the lead flashed white smoke, Zizi rushed into the medicine room, four or five three-eyed guns chose Azig at the same time, "bang, bang" a bang, the coal-fired horse ran wildly in the smoke, but the Azig above flew out upside down and smashed heavily on the ground.
