With the killing of the Tartar general Haziye in the city of Zhuozhou, the Tartar army was in turmoil, had no intention of fighting again, and fled frantically towards the north gate of Zhuozhou.
"Follow me, kill!"
However, Han Tong led more than 2,000 cavalry of the White Dragon Army, biting behind these fleeing Tartars, and pursued them relentlessly.
As soon as they catch up, the fast horses rush by, the sabers fall, and the Tartar soldiers who fall behind will fall to the ground with a scream.
Soon, Han Tong led the men and horses, chasing the Tartars all the way to the vicinity of the north gate of Zhuozhou, and the panicked Tartars rushed out of the city desperately.
From the city of Zhuozhou to the north of the road, there are corpses of Tartar soldiers lying scattered.
In the end, most of the Tartar cavalry still rushed out of Zhuozhou, after all, at this time, the north gate of Zhuozhou was still controlled by the Tartars.
"Keep chasing me!"
Looking at the Tartar rebels and escaping from Zhuozhou, Han Tong still did not intend to stop the pursuit, and continued to order the pursuit.
Whoosh!
However, suddenly, at this time, a yellow signal bomb rose in the city of Zhuozhou and exploded, and Han Tong and them could be seen clearly from such a distance.
"General, it's an emergency assembly signal flare in the center of the city, General Zhao, they are in crisis."
Seeing the yellow signal flare that suddenly rose at this time in Zhuozhou City, there were subordinates next to Han Tong, so he exclaimed.
"Huh?"
Han Tong also saw that the yellow signal flare was indeed from the area where Zhao Zilong and the others were fighting fiercely with the Tartar cavalry just now, and he was puzzled.
"Didn't all the Tartars in the city escape? How could Zilong's side send such an emergency signal flare for help? ”
Han Tong was puzzled, but he didn't believe that this was Zhao Zilong's intention, it must have been something else that happened to Zhao Zilong.
Therefore, between returning to help and continuing to pursue the Tartar rout, Han Tong decisively chose to go back to save his teammates.
"Everyone obeyed the order, stopped the pursuit, and returned to the city."
And at this time, there was indeed a crisis on Zhao Zilong's side.
The source of the crisis was the 3,000 Tatar cavalry led by the Tartar general Batu who entered the city from the south gate of Zhuozhou.
Zhao Zilong didn't expect that these three thousand Tartars would return so soon.
"General, the Tartars are coming soon, so let's take you to a courtyard and take refuge.
The call for help has been sent, and General Han should be back soon. ”
Zhao Zilong was still holding on at this time, riding on his horse, and a cavalryman rushed back on horseback and reported.
"No, you can't let the Tartar cavalry pass, let the soldiers carry some sundries, block the streets, and prevent the Tartar cavalry from passing.
We're going to stop the Tartar cavalry here, General Han will be back soon, and if I'm right, General Qi should be there soon."
We only need to trap this Tartar cavalry in the city, and when the two generals arrive with their troops, they will be the turtles in the urn. ”
After Zhao Zilong heard his subordinates' suggestion, he shook his head and vetoed.
"But, General, your injuries ......"
"Don't worry, this little injury, Ben will not die, listen to my order, immediately move the sundries, block the street, and be fast."
Zhao Zilong was also in a hurry, he only had five hundred cavalry in his hands.
And through the main streets of the city, there are five or six, and there is a shortage of manpower!
"yes, there is."
Suddenly, Zhao Zilong saw the head of a common man popping up on the wall of a courtyard, and looked outside vigilantly, which made Zhao Zilong's eyes light up and he thought of a way to solve the shortage of manpower.
"Come on, go and tell the people that I need some young people to carry the debris and block the streets, and I need their help."
Zhao Zilong immediately sent people to discuss with those people in Zhuozhou City who had just escaped from the clutches of the Tartars.
These people were all rescued from the Tartars because of the sudden entry of the White Dragon Army, so they were grateful to the White Dragon Army at this time.
Therefore, when Zhao Zilong sent people to discuss with these people, these people agreed without saying a word.
"The lives of our whole family were saved by the general, how can we not help this little help, my Chen family's children, all stand up and go with this general."
A middle-aged man took the initiative to stand up and respond to Zhao Zilong's call.
At this time, it was a scholarly family in the city, with a good reputation, and after the Tartars broke the city, they did not want to serve the Tartars, and were robbed and captured by the Tartars.
Now, he took the initiative to stand up and respond to Zhao Zilong's call, and immediately received a response from other people around him.
Anyway, it's not for them to go to the battlefield, it's just to move some carts, furniture, sundries, etc. from the surrounding people's homes, and they can still do such things.
Soon, as many as 1,000 young and strong men, followed by 500 soldiers of the Flying Dragon Battalion, they moved all kinds of sundries from the surrounding people's homes or surrounding shops, and blocked all the five streets here.
Fortunately, there are thousands of young people in the city who help.
If it weren't for Zhao Zilong's hands alone, the five hundred soldiers of the Flying Dragon Battalion at this time would not have been able to completely block all the streets going north before the three thousand Tartar cavalry rushed over.
Thundered!
There was a big tremor, and Zhao Zilong's eyes looked south, and he knew that it was the cavalry of the Tartars coming.
The horse's hooves trampled on the bluestone road in the city, and the movement was much more than that of stepping on ordinary land.
Sure enough, a moment later, a large number of Tartar cavalry poured out of the streets, and they ran quickly, only to find that the streets in front of them were blocked.
Ril, lil!
With the neighing of the war horses, the Tartar cavalry who were galloping quickly reined in their horses one by one and stopped.
"General, the enemy has blocked the way ahead for us, and the team can't get through!"
A tartar came to Batu and reported.
"Damn, it's still a step too late, where are General Haziye's men gone?"
Batu said unwillingly, and at the same time he also wondered where Haziye's men and horses had gone at this time.
If someone had told him that Haziye had been killed, and that more than 2,000 Tartars in his hand had fled from the city, he would not have believed it.
"Let's go, go down another street."
Batu decisively ordered, he knew that there was more than one street in Zhuozhou City to continue to the north.
At this time, as long as Batu is not stupid, he will definitely go north, because the north is the most suitable direction for them to retreat.
Soon, Batu led his cavalry around another nearby street, only to find that it had also been blocked and their cavalry was not allowed to pass through.
Even, through so many obstacles on the street, they can see the other side, and there are people constantly moving debris and blocking the street.
At this time, Batu doesn't have to think about it, it is estimated that this will be the case with several other streets, and it makes no sense to go to other streets.
"What are you waiting for, move these obstacles quickly!" Batu yelled at several generals beside him.
Immediately, these Tartar cavalry dismounted one after another and began to clear the debris piled up on the street in front.
But what made Batu even more angry was that the soldiers on their side were cleaning up the debris.
On the other side, many soldiers of the Flying Dragon Battalion, with the help of many people, are still moving new sundries and piling up.
If this continues, if they dare to move out of the way, the White Dragon Army on the opposite side will block some more, and then it's over!
"Dian Bo."
Batu shouted loudly to a Han army with a blue flag and shouted.
"My lord, the minions are here!"
A middle-aged man came to Batu and knelt down in response.
"Let your men use bows and arrows to disperse those Han dogs on the other side."
"Wow!"
Whoosh!
Soon, Dian Bo took hundreds of soldiers of the Han army with the blue flag, and used the bows and arrows they carried to shoot at the opposite side.
As a result, the soldiers of the Flying Dragon Battalion on the opposite side had to let those people scatter, and they could no longer continue to carry sundries to block the streets.
A moment later, Zhao Zilong also got the news here, and led the cavalry of the Flying Dragon Battalion from several other streets to rush over.
"Let the people hide, and then it's up to us."
After Zhao Zilong understood the situation here, he ordered the people to hide, and then he led five hundred cavalry of the Flying Dragon Battalion to line up on this side of the street.
As soon as the Tartar soldiers removed the debris and cleared the streets, they had to rush forward and use their flesh and blood to block the Tartar cavalry.
The cavalry of the five hundred flying dragon battalions stood quietly behind Zhao Zilong at this time, and they watched quietly like this, more than a hundred steps ahead, the Tartar soldiers who gradually cleaned up the debris on the streets.
Zhao Zilong prayed in his heart: "Qi Wei, Han Tong, you two have to hurry up!" ”
"Opposite dog Tartar, look at what this is!"
Immediately, Zhao Zilong untied the head of Haziye hanging from his waist, handed it to one of his subordinates, asked him to find a long bamboo pole, hung Haziye's head on it, and shouted at the Tartar opposite.
When Haziye's head was hung high on a bamboo pole, the Tartar soldiers on the opposite side of Batu could already be clearly seen.
Suddenly, among these tartars, there was quite a commotion, and it was clear that they recognized Haziye.
"This ...... How can it be! ”
Even Batu was taken aback, feeling cold in his hands and feet, and his heart was terrified.
But a moment later, Batu shouted, "Fake, that's fake!" ”
Immediately, there were also generals of the Han Army's Blue Banner next to him, who understood what Batu meant, and at the same time, while they were shocked in their hearts, they also knew that they had to stabilize the army's heart at this time.
"Soldiers, don't fall for the enemy's tricks, that head is fake, General Haziye is in the north of the city at this time, let's kill it, and we can join them."
The generals of the Han army who were under the blue flag shouted loudly.
Eventually, all the obstacles in the streets were removed by the Tartar soldiers.
Then, Batu couldn't wait and yelled, "Rush over to me and kill them all." ”
In fact, Batu's heart was terrified at this time, because when he saw Haziye's head just now, he had already recognized that the human head was real.
He could never have imagined that their main general, Haziye, had already been killed by the White Dragon Army.
In this way, Batu could easily guess that the reason why there were no other Tartars in the city was probably already in a rout.
Immediately, Batu knew that there was no room for any longer in the city, or they would be left in the city forever.
Batu never thought that after they returned to Zhuozhou City, they would take the initiative to enter the urn and take the initiative to send them to death, but Batu couldn't imagine that Haziye would be defeated, and it was so fast.
"Kill!"
Seeing Batu, who had just cleared the streets, he couldn't wait to lead people to rush over.
Zhao Zilong on this side rode on a war horse, his eyes were cold, he also roared angrily, and rushed out on his horse, followed by five hundred cavalry of the Flying Dragon Battalion who looked at death as if they were at home.
Bang bang bang!
On the narrow streets, the cavalry of both sides rushed together, and the first few cavalrymen collided violently together, and the people turned on their backs.
On one side were the Tartar cavalry who wanted to kill them immediately, and on the other side were the cavalry of the Wyvern Battalion who were sworn to hold them back, and the battle between the two sides was extremely tragic as soon as they came up.
Don't look at Zhao Zilong's hands at this time, there are only more than 500 cavalry of the Flying Dragon Battalion, but Batu has nearly 2,600 cavalry, but he was blocked by Zhao Zilong.
In fact, in street battles like this, the special terrain determines that this place is more suitable for small groups of men and horses to fight, and it is difficult for large groups of men and horses to deploy at all.
Therefore, don't look at the large number of people on the Tartar side, but the only ones who can really participate in the battle with the cavalry of Zhao Zilong's Feilong Battalion are the front.
As for the cavalry behind, they could only support their comrades in the front battle by throwing bows and arrows, killing and injuring the soldiers of the Wyvern Battalion.
Poof!
Zhao Zilong pierced the chest of a Han army blue flag cavalryman with a shot, but his body flickered, and the arrow wound in his back had seriously lost blood from the wound on his left shoulder, which had too much impact on him.
If an ordinary person was so seriously injured, he would have lost his combat effectiveness a long time ago, but Zhao Zilong has persevered until now.
"Protect the General!"
The two guards of Zhao Zilong in the back saw that Zhao Zilong's condition was not very good, and immediately rushed to support.
"You two, take the general down, leave it to us here, we can die, but the general can't die."
A deputy general of the Flying Dragon Battalion asked Zhao Zilong to take away at this time, and then the others continued to block the Tartars' men and horses here.
"Let go of me, I'm not leaving, what are you doing, rebelling?"
Zhao Zilong refused to leave, and his guards couldn't do anything, so in the end, Zhao Zilong just retreated to the rear, ready to kill again at any time.
The battle on Zhao Zilong's side was extremely tragic, people were killed every moment, and the Tartars attacked one by one as if they were crazy.
Batu knew that time was running out for him, and he had to leave Zhuozhou City as soon as possible.
In the time of half the incense, more than half of the cavalry of the 500 Wyvern Battalion were killed and wounded, and the street was filled with war horses and the corpses of soldiers on both sides.
Bang bang bang!
At this moment, suddenly behind the Tartar cavalry led by Batu, a burst of gunfire rang out that was familiar and terrifying to them.
Immediately, Batu heard a scream from behind him.
When Batu turned his face and looked behind him, he saw a large number of White Dragon Arms Cavalry appearing on the street behind them.
They had apparently just arrived on horseback, and immediately they lined up below, raised their flintlock pistols, and began to fire mercilessly at their backs.
"It's over!"
When Batu saw the White Dragon Arms Cavalry led by Qi Wei appear behind them, he closed his eyes in pain and whispered to himself.
But Batu was still unwilling to fail like this, he grabbed Dian Bo's collar, his face was bruised, and he said sharply: "Dian Bo, I will give you five hundred people."
You go and give Ben a moment to block the musketeers behind, and when Ben will return to Shengjing, allow your son and son-in-law to be Ben General's minions. ”
