Chapter 327: The Battle of Jiazhuang (4)
327 Battle of Jazhuang (4)
(Today's chapter is presented, please collect and subscribe, thank you!) Let's see if you have time tonight, add more if you have time! )
The two elite Tartar white-armored soldiers were chased to death by a cavalry that suddenly appeared, and they were even less than a mile away from the rear of the Duoduo army.
This scene stunned many Tartar generals, including Duoduo.
The courage of these Ming cavalry was too bold, and they openly hunted and killed the Tartar cavalry in broad daylight in front of thousands of Tartar soldiers, which made the eyes of the Tartar generals blaze one by one.
As the commander of the Tartar soldiers, Duoduo didn't have time to get angry, but the rhythmic drum beat behind him was getting closer and closer.
As the drums became louder and louder, a banner with a big "Ming" character appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
Duoduo and the other Tartar generals couldn't believe it when they saw that from three miles behind their flanks, a group of nearly 3,000 foot soldiers appeared, and they were advancing towards them in a neat formation.
Moreover, on the two wings of this infantry phalanx, there are two cavalry wandering around, the number of which is about more than 1,000 horsemen, and the one who has just killed the two Tartar white-armored soldiers is the general who takes the lead in one of the two cavalry.
"Knock Knock Knock ......"
With the appearance of the banner of the word "Ming", a team of thousands of people stepped on the drum and appeared behind the formation of the Tartar army.
This Ming sergeant was dressed in highly defensive chain mail, wearing thick-soled combat boots and a domed iron helmet, and walked on the outermost periphery with a bird gun and a sword and shield hand.
They were marching in the direction of the Tartar Central Army in a neat quadripartite battle formation, and this team was almost all foot soldiers.
Because Lu Xiangsheng was in Jiazhuang, Li Zixiao at this time could not play the name of their White Dragon Army, and could only kill them as the 'Ming Army'.
As the phalanx advanced, all the White Dragon sergeants still held their heads high, listened to the officers' orders without squinting, and marched forward with firm steps.
"Bastard, where did this Ming army come from!"
Looking at this Ming army, which was walking towards them with neat steps and no one around, Duoduo was so angry that he jumped like thunder.
He grabbed the collar of a Tartar general next to him and asked viciously, "Tell me, where did this Ming army come from?"
Are all your spies dead? Why didn't they find out in advance, report to this king! ”
The Tartar general trembled and said: "Lord Wang, the minions don't know, who knew that there would be such a Ming army that was not afraid of death, and dared to attack us at this time!"
But don't worry, the slave is willing to take his hand to Niu Lu, three hundred clothed minions, take down this Ming army that does not know whether to live or die, capture the leading generals of the Ming army alive, and hand it over to the prince to dispose of.
Let this Ming army see the bravery of our warriors with white flags in the Qing Dynasty! ”
"Okay, Gu Duo'er, since you have made up your mind, this king will approve it, give you a cow record and three hundred minions, and go and kill all these bright dogs for this king.
Remember, the leading general of this Ming army, I want to live, I want to skin him and cramp. Duoduo said through gritted teeth.
At this time, he hated Li Zixiao on the other side very much, because he was delayed by Li Zixiao coming out at this time, and he couldn't be the first to kill Jiazhuang and kill Lu Xiangsheng.
In this way, he will miss the greatest credit, and how can he not hate.
"Lord Wang, now do we need to withdraw the team attacking Jiazhuang in front?" A Tartar general next to him asked Dodor.
"What are you doing withdrawing, let them continue to attack, and be the first to enter Jiazhuang at all costs, if anyone can kill Lu Xiangsheng, this king will give him gold and white taels, and add officials to the knight."
Instead of letting the troops attacking Jiazhuang in front of him withdraw, Duoduo gave the order for a more intense attack.
Because, in his opinion, even if such a Ming army appeared behind him at this time, with the more than 1,000 troops around him at this time, and most of them were Tartar soldiers, he could easily deal with it.
At this time Dordor had three thousand men in his hands, among whom was a Tartar soldier of Kala, all of whom were his bannermen with white flags, and he himself was the owner of the white flags.
The remaining nearly 1,700 people were all Mongolian soldiers, Han Chinese, Korean slaves and other clothed slaves.
At this time, it was these clothed minions who were attacking Lu Xiangsheng in Jiazhuang under the supervision of three hundred Tartar soldiers, and Duoduo had only sent more than 1,300 people at present.
The remaining more than 1,700 people are still in his military formation, and he must let those clothed minions be used as cannon fodder to consume the living force in Lu Xiangsheng's hands first.
Finally, he led the Tartars to rush forward, which would reduce the casualties of his Tartars.
With the Tartar general himself asking for his order to fight, after Duoduo approved, this Tartar general named Gu Duoer had already led the next Tartar Niulu, plus three hundred clothed minions.
These nearly eight foot soldiers pressed towards the White Dragon Army, and the distance between the two sides at this time was already less than three hundred steps.
"My lord, it's reinforcements, our reinforcements."
At this time, a personal guard in Jia Zhuang ran to Lu Xiangsheng's side, pointed to the north, and shouted excitedly.
"Brothers, the reinforcements sent by the imperial court have rescued us, kill us!"
Lu Xiangsheng shouted at the remnants of the Ming army who were still fighting hard, and instantly let these desperate Ming soldiers see a glimmer of hope to live.
It's like a man who fell into the water, grabbed a life-saving straw at the last moment, and at this time they resurrected, like a return to the light, bursting out with terrifying combat effectiveness.
These tired, hungry, and exhausted remnants of the Ming army, at this time, as if they had suddenly been beaten with chicken blood, became fierce and fierce, and even drove out the Tartar soldiers who had already entered Jiazhuang.
And this is exactly the result that Lu Xiangsheng hopes to see, as for the arrival of the so-called reinforcements, this news is still deeply suspicious for him at the moment.
Lu Xiangsheng couldn't figure out at this time whether this so-called reinforcement was real, at least he didn't believe it in his heart.
At this time, in addition to the Guanning Iron Cavalry, there are still Ming troops around who can save them?
And Gao Qiqian will never save him, he still had a trace of hope before.
At the same time, in order to keep his subordinates, Yang Yanlin, a general he valued very much, sent him to Jize to ask Gao Qiqian for help.
But soon, Lu Xiangsheng and the others, who were in Jiazhuang, had heard the sound of war drums in the north, in addition to hearing the sound of cannons from the east earlier, which were not the war drums of the Tartars.
This shocked Lu Xiangsheng's spirit, is there really such a team, the Ming army, rushed over to rescue them?
Lu Xiangsheng immediately took two guards and climbed onto a roof of Jiazhuang, and with the help of height, he could see the situation in the north of Jiazhuang.
It just so happened that Lu Xiangsheng witnessed the scene when Li Zixiao commanded the White Dragon Army and was about to fight with the 800 foot soldiers of the Tartars.
"Where is this team? There are quite a few people, nearly 4,000 people, I don't know which general surnamed Li is in the nearby Fucheng. ”
Although Lu Xiangsheng had many injuries on his body at this time, and his face was slightly pale, a pair of tiger eyes were blazing, staring at the big banner with the word 'Li' that appeared in the north, and muttered to himself.
After all, in Lu Xiangsheng's conventional cognition, who can command a Ming army of about 4,000 people, must be a Ming army general at the level of a general.
And around Shunde Mansion, Lu Xiangsheng really couldn't think of any general surnamed Li who could have such an elite division under his command and have the courage to appear in Jiazhuang and rescue them.
You know, there are still several Tartar teams around them, plus there are tens of thousands of them, and once they are surrounded by Tartars from other directions, they will definitely die.
"My lord, they're about to fight!"
The words of the guard next to Lu Xiangsheng interrupted Lu Xiangsheng's thoughts and made him turn his attention to the battle between the two sides in the north.
The reaction speed of the White Dragon Army was still very fast, and after seeing the foot soldiers of the Tartar Army approaching, the generals in front immediately issued an order.
Only a rapid drum beat was heard, which sounded in their formation, and the quadrangular formation, which was narrow in front and long in the back, immediately became wide in front and narrow in the back.
The hundreds of carts that were originally protected in the middle were also pulled in front of them by hundreds of baggage soldiers, forming a simple defensive line composed of carts.
The drums on the side of the White Dragon Army suddenly became more and more urgent, and the originally dense formation suddenly dispersed.
Nearly 3,000 White Dragon soldiers, under the leadership of their respective generals, trotted according to the command of the drum flag, and quickly dispersed to the left and right.
By the time the drums were played for the third time, each soldier had found his place as they had been trained to do on a daily basis, and the fire commanders, pikemen, and sword and shield soldiers had each taken their own positions.
Even the baggage soldiers even moved a lot of Tiger Squat Guns and Furlong machines that they immediately carried to the back of the cart in front, which had already been loaded with projectiles and could be fired at any time.
Nearly 3,000 White Dragon soldiers suddenly shouted in unison: "Kill, kill, kill!" ”
The sound was deafening, and they shouted three times in succession, and then stood still, staring at the Tartar soldiers rushing in front of them with murderous eyes.
Opposite them, more than 800 Tartar soldiers who were approaching only felt a murderous momentum.
In Li Zixiao's team, although there were still cavalry led by Qi Wei and Luo Chao, the two teams of cavalry had not yet recovered after a battle in the Maguan camp, and the cavalry that could fight at this time was less than 1,200 people.
Li Zixiao didn't plan to do it anymore, and threw these baby pimple cavalry into the battle against the Tartar foot soldiers.
Instead, let Qi Wei and Luo Chao divide into two teams of cavalry to protect the two wings and rear of the White Dragon Army's infantry phalanx under his command.
Lu Xiangsheng in Jiazhuang looked at the phalanx of the White Dragon Army at this time, was slightly surprised, and said: "Who trained this Ming army, it looks majestic and majestic, this soldier is very well trained!"
It's just that I still can't understand this general surnamed Li, how can I put up a phalanx to fight with the Tartars? Could it be that he has so much confidence in his men? ”
Just when Lu Xiangsheng was puzzled, Li Zixiao was staring at the enemy army in front of him, looking at the more than 800 Tartar soldiers who were swaggering over, and he sneered in his heart.
"These Tartar soldiers are really arrogant, and they only have more than 800 foot soldiers, and they dare to attack Lao Tzu.
It seems that the generals of this batch of Tartar soldiers are obviously not led by Abatai or Hauge, and they have not suffered from us, is it really Lao Tzu who is muddy?
Brothers, since the Tartar soldiers with white flags in front of us don't know how powerful we are, let's teach them a good lesson today and teach these barbarians outside the border how to behave! ”
"Hahaha......"
After Li Zixiao's while, it caused a burst of laughter among the soldiers of the White Dragon Army around him, but they did not relax one by one, but their killing intent became even worse.
Seeing that the armor of these Tartar soldiers was red armor with white edges, Li Zixiao knew that these were Tartar soldiers, but soldiers and horses with white flags.
I saw that after the Tartar soldiers approached a distance of more than 100 paces, a Niu Lu wearing three layers of heavy armor and carrying three small red flags on his back stood in the foot soldiers.
He immediately raised the tiger head gun in his hand and shouted: "The warriors of the Great Qing Kingdom, all rush with me!" ”
With the shouts of this Tartar Niulu, more than 800 Tartar soldiers roared wildly, each holding a weapon and rushing towards the White Dragon Army formation that was waiting in front of him.
At the forefront were still the three hundred clothed minions, followed by a group of five hundred Tartar infantry soldiers holding shields, roaring, and hideous-looking.
Looking at the Tartar soldiers who were roaring and rushing in front, Li Zixiao of the White Dragon Army Formation, smiled coldly and ordered: "Bird Gun Preparation!" ”
"Boom la la ......"
As Li Zixiao's order was issued, the standard-bearer waved the flag, and the drummer beat a specific drum sound, so that the White Dragon Army Bird Gunners in any position could execute the order at the same time.
Then, the bird-gunners began to flatten their guns, aiming the muzzles of the black holes at the Tartars rushing from the opposite side, and they had already finished loading their ammunition in advance.
In front of these birdmen, the sword and shield soldiers formed a waist-high shield wall with their shields in front of them.
The Birdmen hid behind these shields, and on top of them, there was a shield that covered their tops.
Looking at the Tartar soldiers surging up in front of them, the white dragon soldiers in the front row took a deep breath.
The bird guns standing around were all pursed their mouths, staring at the front, waiting for Li Zixiao's order.
"Steady, everyone pay attention to steady, don't shoot without an order!"
Soon, these Tartar soldiers with white flags had already rushed in, and they were only eighty paces away from the White Dragon Army formation, and the White Dragon Army Bird Gunners in front of the formation still did not fire.
This made Duoduo, who was observing the movements of the Ming army in the back, couldn't help but be surprised, and said to a confidant general beside him: "These Ming troops are really calm, they have all arrived, and they haven't fired at this distance!" ”
Duoduo looked solemnly ahead, and was silent.
Suddenly, in the camp of the White Dragon Army in front, a sharp whistle sounded.
As the whistle fell, there was a dull roar, and it was a dozen Tiger squat guns and Furlong machines in front of them firing.
Immediately afterwards, there was a deafening sound like fried beans from behind, which quickly sounded in the formation of the White Dragon Army......
Puff puff......
The iron pellets fired by the Tiger Squat Cannon and the Furlong Machine had a wide scattering area, and the opposite side rushed up head-on, and the three hundred clothed minions at the front lined up, many of them instantly had more blood holes on their bodies.
At a distance of fifty paces, the firing range is relatively correct for the Tiger Squat Cannon and the Furlong cannon, which are most commonly equipped by the Ming Army, and exerts the powerful power of the two types of artillery.
It's just that at such a close distance, the Tartars can quickly rush up, and it is difficult for a dozen artillery pieces to fire again after firing this wave.
