Chapter 514: Pressing Forward
Tu Hai's face changed a few times, after all, he still didn't have the courage of a horseman, although he was a general, but he was not good at fighting, more often he was in the Chinese army to command operations, relative to his command ability, his force was not worth mentioning, so he didn't do this kind of thing.
Besides, he is now old, even if he is quite skilled in archers and horses, but it is always a bit laborious to go into battle to kill this kind of thing, and the reason why he led the troops out of the city today is only because he originally thought that there were these three hundred guards beside him, and the rebels of the former Ming Dynasty were blocked in the forest, and there was no risk, who knew that a team of cavalry suddenly came out, and he also rushed up with people.
Tu Hai rode his horse and turned his head away, and the guards who followed him also ran towards the surroundings with him, they were not afraid of death, this was a battlefield, how could the boss leave alone.
Huang Futong saw that Tuhai was going to run away, but he didn't do it, and shouted loudly: "Don't leave Tuhai!" ”
The soldiers around him immediately began to fight hard, in their eyes, it was not Tuhai, but a thousand taels of silver and an official promotion of three levels.
But Tuhai's guards are even more desperate, if Tuhai dies, their guards are unfavorable, and the whole family has to be unlucky, if they die on the battlefield, as long as Tuhai lives, they will not treat their family badly.
Huangfu Tong saw Tuhai running farther and farther, he could only sigh to himself, as the saying goes, one person is desperate, ten people are invincible, and now these guards are beginning to work hard, although it will not turn defeat into victory, but it is not a problem to block them.
Huangfu Tong killed the remaining guards cleanly, and then waved his hand: "Retreat." ”
Now the Manchu cavalry is charging, the momentum is like a rainbow, and his men have gone through a lot of fighting, and they are not strong enough, so they rush forward like this, I am afraid that they will suffer, so it is good to avoid their edge first.
Tu Hai and the reinforcements converged, and when he looked back, he found that his three hundred personal guards were all dead except for the dozen or so people around him, and he roared angrily: "Kill them all for me." ”
This time he finally stopped charging with the army, he understood that his advantage was to control the overall situation rather than fighting on the battlefield, if it wasn't for covering him just now, maybe those loyal guards around him would not have died so miserably.
The cavalry immediately rushed forward after hearing Tuhai's order and began to chase the fleeing Huangfu Tong. The general of their army sneered, this cavalry general of the former Ming Dynasty is also a waste, once the cavalry fights in principle and escapes, then it will be impossible to reverse the defeat, because it is easy for you to turn the horse's head again, and it is difficult to accelerate again, and if the speed cannot be raised, the cavalry will be half wasted.
Sun Sike had been following Tu Hai without speaking, and finally spoke at this time: "Dashuai, it's useless for us to stay here, it's better to hurry back to the city, and make corresponding judgments according to the situation." ”
At this time, Tu Hai suddenly heard a shout of brushing in unison: "Five Thunder Heavenly Heart Formula!" ”
He already had a bad premonition in his heart, and then a thunderous sound exploded, and he shouted, "No, hurry back to the city!" ”
Since he decided to work hard, Cheng Xiaolian naturally didn't plan to keep any hole cards, besides, the effect of palm thunder was just right at this time, Tuhai They didn't know what this was, and using it could make his army feel confused.
If Cheng Xiaolian knew that Tu Hai was now outside Xi'an, it was estimated that he would have to thank God for his mercy and let his luck be as good as ever, he just received a hand signal from there, and he didn't know that Huangfu Tong and they met Tu Hai.
The Manchu soldiers retreated yesterday because of these five thunder heavenly heart tricks, and yesterday they had doubts in their hearts, and now they have encountered this kind of demon art, so they naturally turn around and leave, how can people fight against God? Even the most elite Manchu warriors can't stop the wrath of heaven.
The Manchu soldiers began to retreat, and the strict drills on weekdays made their fighting quality very high, so there was no large-scale rout, but at this time, the leading generals around did not know what to do, and looked back at the city, and there was no movement at the city, so they could only make their own judgments.
Some generals chose to fight desperately, some generals chose to retreat temporarily, these people instantly became a mess, and among these soldiers there were also people and horses brought by Sun Sike from Gansu, originally the two armies were divided into different military formations, but as soon as they ran, they inevitably mixed together.
Cheng Xiaolian immediately ordered: "The enemy's formation is out of order, rush forward and kill them all!" ”
The army of the Ming Dynasty will kill after them, and the army chasing people will always be faster than the one who escapes, because the people in front of you may not be able to run faster than you when you escape, and even inadvertently block your way, but the chasing soldiers with knives behind you will definitely not slow down a step, they think that this is to cut off your head to exchange military merits.
This was the scene Tu Hai saw when he rushed to the city, but he was a first-class general of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and immediately analyzed the situation: "Transfer back the cavalry, surround the traitors of the former Ming Dynasty, and kill them all!" ”
Tuhai's cavalry was struggling to pursue, when they suddenly heard the sound of gold at the head of the city, and then looked back, and saw the banner telling them to turn their heads to support the foot soldiers, and the military order must not be violated, so they immediately turned their horses' heads and ran towards the city.
Huangfu Tong also saw this scene, and led his cavalry to chase them and ran to the city, and now the situation between the two armies has changed, and the Manchu cavalry can not turn back to fight.
Tu Hai looked at the cavalry chasing and sighed: "General Sun, you have seen how difficult these rebels of the former Ming Dynasty are. ”
Sun Sike smiled bitterly: "I originally thought that they were just a disease of scabies, but now it seems that they are indeed a big problem, but they are just handsome, although I didn't see what was going on with the Five Thunder Heavenly Heart Formula, I still insisted that it was a firearm, where are there any immortals in this world, how can it lead to heavenly thunder." ”
Speaking of the end, his confidence is also a little insufficient, this era is not the kind of atheistic world in later generations, even if you go to the teahouse to listen to the commentary, there are also stories such as Zhuge Liang borrowing the east wind, and over time, everyone thinks that there must be such a strange person in this world, who can communicate with heaven and earth, and call for wind and rain.
Tu Hai smiled bitterly: "How can I ever believe in these things, I have never seen anyone who can call the wind and rain after so many years of fighting, but now this situation is really beyond your expectations, even if we don't believe it, we must admit it first, and then slowly find the result after dealing with them." ”
While the two were talking, the cavalry had already rushed back to the battlefield, and the pursuing sweeping army was caught off guard, and dozens of people immediately fell to the ground. ”
So many soldiers shouted in unison: "Five Thunder Heavenly Heart Formula!" ”
