107 Shoot the man before the horse
This prefect of the army is the famous Lu Xiangsheng in the late Ming Dynasty. On the battlefield, he watched the six roads and listened to the eight directions, although he was fighting, he discovered the movement of the Jurchen Tartars in time.
When I turned my head, I found that the team behind me had opened a long line because of the different speeds. If this is rushed from the middle, the team will collapse.
Frowning, Lu Xiangsheng immediately shouted, ordered half of the family members, and ordered the first family Ding to lead the team to continue to chase the fleeing Mongolian Tartars and rush into the city of Changli, while he himself, with the remaining half of the family members, turned his horse head and faced the Jurchen Tartars.
On the arrow tower at the head of the city, Zuo Yingxuan stared at this scene, and his heart was raised in his throat. He was more knowledgeable than ordinary people, and of course he could distinguish between the Han slaves outside the city, the Mongol Tatars, and the most powerful Jurchen Tatars. At first sight, don't mention how worried you are!
In the hidden place of the mountain col in the distance, there were also more than 30 cavalry Ming troops who did not close at night and watched the battlefield outside Changli City.
"Ah, I have such a powerful prefect, won't it be like this?" One of them looked at the young general flag beside him and sighed loudly deliberately.
The others listened and nodded in agreement. However, the young general flag did not say a word, just watched the battlefield intently. When the people who spoke just now saw it, their faces showed a trace of helplessness, and they stopped making a sound.
Azig, the leader of the Jianlu, did not pay attention, he found that the offensive under the city had almost stopped, and many people seemed to be retreating, afraid that the attacking army of the Ming Guoqin King would impact their flank.
Suddenly, Azig's temper immediately became violent again, he had already sent Bayala soldiers, and there was no suspense in defeating this army of the Ming Guoqin King, so what did you have to worry about! He shouted loudly and ordered the remaining Jurchen people to supervise the siege of the city. Today, we must lay down Changli!
The Baya soldiers who were sent out immediately laughed when they saw that the prefect of the Ming Kingdom had led more than a dozen family members to greet them.
They didn't change their direction, but made a slight correction and walked away towards Lu Xiangsheng. For them, if they can kill Lu Xiangsheng, this Qinwang army will collapse by itself, and this way will be easier.
When the Baya soldiers led by them saw Lu Xiangsheng and the others take out their bows and arrows again, they didn't dare to hold it up, after all, they had also seen the battle just now. How can those who are accustomed to fighting take their lives as child's play, and bow down on horseback.
I saw Lu Xiangsheng turn over and dismount, take out a walking bow, and while inserting two pots of quiver into the ground, he ordered his family: "Shoot the horse!" ”
As soon as the two-word order was given, he was already arrowing out a series of arrows. The Bayara soldiers didn't expect this. Only a few people reacted, and hurriedly waved their blades to block the arrows of the war horses under their hips.
It is worthy of being an archer, seven or eight people led by Lu Xiangsheng all stood there like that, facing the more than three hundred Jurchen Tartars who rushed towards them, they did not panic at all, and shot out like arrows, and the Jurchen Tartars in front suddenly turned on their backs, which also made the Jurchen Tartars behind them chaotic.
In just a few breaths, Lu Xiangsheng and the others finished shooting the arrows they carried. Lu Xiangsheng immediately gave the order to "get on the horse", and the majestic figure rode on the tall horse, and with a little tiptoe, the war horse jumped forward and rushed towards the Jurchen Tartars.
"Ah, the prefect seems to have been hit by an arrow!" In the distance, a night buoy exclaimed.
The other person quickly shook his head and responded: "It's okay, it's still so powerful, it is estimated that he is wearing heavy armor!" ”
"Hey, it's a pity, a family member died in the battle!" Another man sighed.
After a moment of silence, one of them finally couldn't help but say, "Or, let's go around and help him!" Such a bloody and courageous prefect, what a pity it would be if he died in battle! ”
It's that people have blood, just to see when it will be stimulated. However, the young general flag still didn't say a word, just focused on the battle situation in the distance.
Another Xiaoqi waited for a while and didn't see a response, so he patted his thigh and said, "Cao Zongqi, your subordinates know that you can't disobey your uncle's military order, so it's good for your subordinates to take their brothers with you." If you don't take a hand at this time, you won't be able to sleep well when you think about it in the future! ”
"That's right, people are just civilian officials, and they are still fighting bravely to kill the enemy, but we, the big-headed soldiers, are just watching from the sidelines, what kind of truth is this!" Others chimed in.
If they hadn't imagined it earlier, they would have said such a thing, and they would have been anxious for others, after all, they are used to seeing life and death. But at this time, they all did not hesitate.
At this time, the young Cao Zongqi finally reacted, only to see him walk quickly towards the war horse hidden behind, and at the same time said: "Go back and tell General Cao, take the opportunity to lead the army to raid Jianyu, and win!" ”
"Ah, Mr. Cao, what about the prefect?" Xiao Qi, who spoke just now, asked in surprise and a little helplessly.
Cao Zongqi jumped on the horse, pulled the reins and turned the horse's head, and replied: "There is no suspense for him to kill those prisoners in front of him, and he will fight under the city after joining the team!" At that time, if there were no reinforcements, I was afraid that I would not be able to hold out to the end. ”
I didn't listen to these nights, but I looked back and took a closer look, and after a while, the battle situation was really decided. The prefect was only followed by two family members, but there were only more than 30 Jurchen Tartars he faced, and they were all frightened and fled in a hurry.
This time, these night non-collectors all showed a look of admiration, and they didn't say much, they got on the horse one after another, and left quickly with Cao Zongqi.
Outside the city, the people in the team knew that Governor Lu had just fought bloodily and saved them from the catastrophe. Looking at the tragic scene, one by one, their eyes were red with excitement, and they ran with their feet outstretched, and soon caught up with the front, shortened the length of the line, and roared and followed their comrades forward to kill.
At the head of the city, Zuo Yingxuan was dumbfounded. That's a Jurchen Tartar, and he was almost wiped out by the prefect.
Looking at the prefect's body covered with hedgehog-like arrows, his whole body was stained with the blood of the enemy. At first glance, I thought it was Yama who appeared.
Seeing that there were only two family members left around the prefect, one of them seemed to be unable to sit still when he rode back on his horse. But even so, they followed the prefect to escort him.
Zuo Yingxuan didn't know what was going on, he was already in his forties, but tears came out of his eyes, and he didn't know what to say.
Azig was also dumbfounded, and when he came back to his senses, he jumped like thunder, picked up his bow and shot arrows with his own hands, and shot the first few Jurchen people to flee back on the spot.
