Chapter 955: The Brave Win (1)

A sudden heavy snow mixed with strong winds made all of Zheng Jinhong's deployments almost fail.

The 20,000 troops under the command of Zheng Jinhong were originally waiting for the Eight Banners Army led by Duoduo to enter Fengzhen and start to set up an ambush, and when the Eight Banners Army led by Duoduo went to the Guannei, they started a fight in the middle of the road, but the heavy snow and wind suddenly attacked, and the soldiers under his command could not resist the cold at all by relying on their flesh and blood.

Zheng Jinhong must attack in advance, and the target of the attack is Fengzhen.

This unprecedented battle is destined to unfold in Fengdu Town.

December 24, the third year of Ruiyuan.

This day is the Chinese New Year's Eve of the lunar calendar, the day when the Lord of the Stove returns to the Heavenly Court to report to the Jade Emperor on human affairs, and every household must be carefully cleaned, and according to the rules, family members who work outside must also return home and reunite with their families.

The fight began on this day.

The goose-feathered snow fell from the sky, mixed with strong winds, and the sky and the earth were surrounded by white and yellow, and it was impossible to see it from a little distance.

Zheng Jinhong and there is no way out, he will either lead 20,000 soldiers back to Guannei, then the fight will be carried out in Guannei or even Datong Fucheng, or he will lead 20,000 soldiers to kill Fengzhen and face off with the Eight Banners Army in Fengzhen.

The cold climate made it impossible for the soldiers under Zheng Jinhong to set up an ambush.

Zheng Jinhong chose to kill Fengzhen.

The 20,000 army was divided into the front army and the middle army, and the 5,000 cavalry led by Su Manzi was the front army, which was also the vanguard force, and the first to kill Xiang Fengzhen, the Chinese army led by Zheng Jinhong. It was divided into two parts, of which 10,000 people followed it to Fengzhen, and the other 5,000 people were put into battle as a reserve at a critical moment, and these 5,000 people also had to prevent the Eight Banners Army from escaping.

In such harsh climatic conditions, it is almost impossible to escape. The only place that can escape is Guannei, but unfortunately Datong Mansion has already blocked the pass, that is to say, the Eight Banners Army and the Mongolian cavalry led by Duoduo can only fight to the death.

At that time, the sky was still dark and dreary, and the goose feathers and snow fell silently.

The 5,000 soldiers led by Su Manzi killed Fengzhen.

Duoduo was also distressed by this sudden snowstorm, which had been after the Eight Banners Army under his command arrived in Fengzhen. It will not stay at all, and will go directly towards the Guannai, the process of occupying Linfeng Town is very simple, and the vast majority of the people who stayed in Fengzhen were directly killed, but only a few people who were familiar with the surrounding situation were left in case of emergency.

Fengzhen is only ten miles away from the pass, such a short distance. The Eight Banners will soon arrive, but just as Dodor prepares to leave. The wind and snow came suddenly, and the snow was getting heavier and heavier, and the wind was also very strong, even Duoduo was surprised, he was familiar with the grassland, in general. When it snows heavily, there is no wind, and when it is windy, it doesn't snow, who knows that this time it's strange, it's snowing heavily and windy.

Duoduo, who is familiar with the steppe climate, is clear. It is too dangerous to march in such a cold climate, although Fengzhen is only ten miles away from the pass, but under the climate of strong winds and snow, the sergeant is very likely to get lost, if he goes in the wrong direction, it will be fatal, so it is better to rest in Fengzhen and wait until the wind and snow stop to attack.

In such a cold climate, it is impossible for the army to reveal its whereabouts.

Duoduo would never have imagined that the Ming army would launch an attack at this time, this is simply something that people can imagine, such bad weather, only a madman would fight.

The sound of the horses' hooves of the Ming army was much drowned out by the strong wind, but Duoduo still heard something strange, and when the scout was out of breath and said that a large army was rushing over, Duoduo thought he was dreaming.

Duoduo didn't know anything, and the scouts didn't detect anything, because he encountered an extreme climate, so his mood was still relatively relaxed, and he didn't need to think too much at this time, all the sergeants recuperated in Fengzhen, and when the snow stopped, they launched the most fierce attack and rushed into the pass, and Duoduo thought that the time was also very suitable, and it was the Spring Festival soon, and the officials and people of the Ming Dynasty and even the sergeants were all going to celebrate the New Year, and the defense was also the most relaxed time.

The scout made two reports in a row, and the sound of horses' hooves could be heard clearly at this moment.

The sound of horses' hooves is very dense, this can't be the bandits around, and besides, in such a climate, the bandits will not move, the only explanation is the Ming army.

Duoduo didn't know when his whereabouts were revealed, and he even suspected that someone had specifically leaked the news, causing the Ming army to be prepared for a long time, otherwise it would not have been possible to appear at this time.

But none of this mattered, the most important time at the moment was to resist the attack of the Ming army.

Dordor gave the order to fight, and when he was about to get on his horse and fight, he was stopped by his own handwriting.

Duoduo is the commander of the army, in the situation is not clear, it is not easy to fight, no one knows whether this is a trap set by the Ming army, the commander rashly attacked, if there is danger, it is a devastating blow to the army.

Fortunately, Duoduo quickly understood this, and did not insist on leading the troops into battle, he didn't know how many Ming troops the other side had, he didn't know who the commander of the Ming army was, and he didn't know what tactics the other party adopted.

Duoduo knows even more that under such a harsh climate, it is impossible for the Eight Banners under his command to evacuate immediately, since the Ming army has come to attack, then the direction of the pass and all preparations have been made, thinking of continuing to follow the orders of Huang Taiji to enter the pass and plunder, it is a decision to find death, thinking of leading the army to evacuate in the direction of the pass, it is also looking for death, and the road to retreat back to the front banner of the right wing of Chahar is too far, and the sergeant is not able to resist the cold climate at all.

At present, there is only one way, and that is to resist desperately, hold Fengzhen, and defeat the Ming army.

Therefore, Duoduo's orders were extremely strict, and the first batch of 2,000 cavalry of the Eight Banners Army and the cavalry of the 2,000 Mongol tribes, even if they fought to the last man, were never allowed to retreat, and those who violated the order were killed.

The two thousand cavalry that went out to fight were the cavalry with the white flag, and they were the cavalry that Duoduo trusted the most, and they fought tenaciously, so brave and strong, they only knew how to attack and charge, and they didn't know what it meant to retreat.

As for the cavalry of the 2,000 Mongol tribes, who are familiar with the terrain and have the experience of fighting in such a cold climate, I believe they can also deal with it.

Duoduo's greater confidence came from his judgment of the Ming army, and he concluded that the Ming army would not immediately launch a general attack, and the first batch of sergeants who rushed to kill were likely to want to disturb the morale of the Eight Banners Army and put the Eight Banners Army in chaos, and then the main force of the Ming army would launch a real attack.

Therefore, it is most important to resist the charge and attack of the Ming army and stabilize the formation of the army.

I have to say that Duoduo's judgment is accurate, although he is not very old, he is also experienced in a hundred battles, and he has become the youngest prince of the Great Qing Kingdom by virtue of his military exploits, and he made accurate judgments at critical moments, so that the army under his command will not fall into panic.

The battle unfolded in an instant.

Su Manzi also knows that he is suffering.

The Mauser guns can play a small role, the climate is too cold, the trigger of some Mauser guns is frozen, and it is impossible to shoot at all, and a small number of Mauser guns that can be fired cannot play a decisive role under the rapid charge.

Many soldiers mainly rely on specially made small bows and crossbows, which can fire three crossbows at a time, and the lethality is great, but the bows and arrows of the Eight Banners Army are also powerful.

When the Eight Banners Army in white robes and the Mongolian cavalry in fur jackets rushed over, Su Manzi didn't feel very good, he didn't expect that there were Mongolian cavalry under Duoduo's command, which at least showed that Duoduo had more than 10,000 Eight Banners under his command, and even the commander Zheng Jinhong didn't know this information.

No one shouted, both sides were desperately charging and fighting, and the murderous aura displayed in the silent battle was even more terrifying.

Su Manzi charged at the front, and after the bow and crossbow in his hand shot and killed the two soldiers of the Eight Banners Army, the war horse had already approached the Eight Banners Army, and the bows and arrows shot by the Eight Banners Army also made several soldiers around him fall.

The sporadic gunfire quickly disappeared, and many soldiers discovered that the Mauser had no effect at this time, and if it was not done well, it would kill itself.

The sound of swords clashing appeared, as did the neighing of war horses, and the only thing that did not appear was the shouts of the soldiers.

Even the soldiers who fell to the ground kept their mouths tightly shut, trying not to make any sound, unless it was the soldiers who were trampled by the war horses, and they couldn't help it, and then let out a short scream, such a scream also heralded the end of a life.

It was a silent fight, and neither side would take a step back, and they both knew their responsibilities.

There was still goose feather snow falling in the sky, and the whistling north wind swept up the yellow sand in the sky, making this desperate fight even more cruel.

Su Manzi's body was still hung with colors, a Eight Banners Army who was killed by him, the bow and arrow in his hand hit his left arm, Su Manzi did not hesitate to break the arrow feather inserted in his left arm, and the blood flowing down his arm to the outside quickly coagulated.

The Ming army, the Eight Banners Army and the Mongolian cavalry have been fighting together, both sides are desperate, for the time being, it is impossible to see who occupies the advantage of the fight, the Eight Banners Army is wearing white robes, the Mongolian cavalry is wearing mostly black, and a small number are white, and the Ming army is all wearing red robes, so the two sides are very good to distinguish who is the opponent and who is the enemy.

Su Manzi fought with his life, but he did not forget his identity as a commander, and he constantly ordered his own soldiers and heralds around him, or reported the battle situation to the commander, or asked the fighting team to rush to each other's aid...... (To be continued.) )
