Chapter 689: Bloody Battle in Luoyang City (8)

Just surrounded Shu Xinchen's Nanjing Left Town cavalry in the center, I didn't expect that another cavalry of the Tianwei Army came, which was even more fierce than the cavalry offensive of Nanjing Left Town.

The most fatal is the artillery position of the Qing army, there are fifty artillery pieces of the Qing army here, and all of them rely on these iron lumps to attack the city, a Ming cavalry rushed straight to the artillery position, on the artillery position, only one artillery team, more than 300 people, at most there is a waist knife hanging on the waist, and some don't even have a knife, how can they withstand the impact of the cavalry?

Zilharang was horrified, he didn't care about anything else, but the artillery position must not be lost!

"Order, order Yue Le to mobilize the Red Banner cavalry to meet the battle and protect the artillery position!"

Outside Luoyang City, it fell into a tragic fierce battle, one by one soldiers were stabbed into the body by the opponent's knives and guns, and fell to the ground screaming, dying, and some were even directly knocked away by the war horse, and the originally wet land and the flowing blood became completely muddy!

The battle lasted from noon to dusk, the Tianwei army and Nanjing Zuozhen suffered a lot of losses, and similarly, the Qing army did not have the strength to swallow all the elite cavalry of more than 10,000 Ming troops in one go, although the Qing army had the absolute upper hand.

In the midst of the fierce battle, a scout ran to the front of Ji'er Harang from a distance, and shouted urgently: "Lord Qiqi, in the southwest and southeast directions, we have found a large number of Ming army infantry, which is rapidly advancing towards Luoyang City, and we are less than thirty miles away!"

"What?"

Zilharang's heart was shocked, and he shouted: "How many troops does the other side have? ”

The scout hurriedly replied: "Lord Qiqi, the details are not clear, but it seems that the strength of the troops in the two directions is not less than 30,000 troops, which is very majestic!" ”

Jierharang's heart twitched fiercely, it seems that his plan to take Luoyang City in a short period of time has completely failed, the reinforcements of the Ming army have arrived, and if he wants to quickly take Luoyang City and advance towards Kaifeng Mansion, he has lost the best opportunity!

"Order all the departments to immediately withdraw from the battle, retreat to the west, and organize the big armament war!"

Since the situation has become irreversible, it is better to fight again with the whole army, no matter what, now there are more than 100,000 troops in their hands, the main force is not damaged, even if the reinforcements of the Ming army arrive, they still occupy an absolute advantage, but today they were suddenly attacked, and the command of the army is inconvenient, so they can only temporarily retreat and look for fighters.

Zilharang, with an army of 100,000, had to withdraw from the battle and retreat to the rear!

"Hoo ......"

Looking at the Qing army in the distance, Shu Xinchen often exhaled, so dangerous, if it weren't for Li Dingguo's cavalry coming in time, just relying on his thousands of people, I'm afraid that I would be here today, the Manchurian elite cavalry really deserves its reputation, and his Nanjing Zuozhen cavalry is still a little immature, although the courage is commendable, but the combat power is indeed going to lose half of the chip......

Of course, Shu Xinchen has not fought with the two yellow flags, if he fights with the two yellow flags or the white flags, then he knows what it means to be a fierce enemy who is not afraid of death, after all, the two red flags and the two blue flags are the combat power of the lower five flags, which is worse than the upper three flags.

"General Li, thank you, if you hadn't arrived in time, I'm afraid that my Lao Shu would have confessed here......"

Li Dingguo smiled bitterly: "Okay, Lord Shu, you don't have to be polite, originally I didn't care about the Manchurian Eight Banners, thinking that it was just a group of bandits, and today's opponent only knew that for decades, the Manchurian elite cavalry has repeatedly fought with the imperial court, and it is really not fortunate to have the upper hand, if it is not for the emperor to build the Tianwei Army, just relying on the original Ming army, I am afraid that it is definitely not the opponent of the Manchurian Eight Banners......"

The two of them sighed in their hearts, this battle lasted for most of the day, but only for half a day, the Tianwei army and Nanjing Zuozhen actually paid the price of two or three thousand casualties, which was too big, especially the cavalry of Nanjing Zuozhen, nearly half of the casualties, on weekdays, the three towns of Nanjing due to the existence of Qin Mufeng and Cha Bolt, one by one, followed the arrogance, thinking that there was no stronger opponent than themselves in the world, I didn't expect that the first fierce battle in Nanjing Zuozhen had such huge casualties, It's really embarrassing!

Seeing that his soldiers were a little discouraged, Shu Xinchen was a little dissatisfied, and roared angrily: "Bastard, look at your listless appearance!" Is there any interest in it? Have you forgotten what you said when you went out? Avenge your Commander-in-Chief! I have a grass chicken first, so as to avenge a fart, a fart hate! Shame on your family! Cheer up Lao Tzu, there is still a fierce battle to be fought behind! ”

"Yes, revenge, revenge!"

The brothers of Nanjing Zuozhen roared one by one, since Nanjing Zuozhen became an army, almost every battalion has been inspected by the bolt, the bolt is bold and careful, and the means are good, Nanjing Zuozhen is extremely respectful to this young adult, just went to the Daimyo Mansion, and was seriously injured by someone to the dark hand, and the brothers are naturally holding back a wave of anger in their hearts!

Speaking of which, the loss suffered by Nanjing Right Town today is not too big, but because of the vicious battle, both sides are dispatched to fight a hundred elites, naturally the casualties are much greater, look at the red flag cavalry, the casualties are also more than two thousand, and now Jierharang is still thundering, and his heart is dripping blood!

When the soldiers and horses were being reorganized, Luo Yu and Song Qing ran out of the city.

"The people of Xiaguan Henan Prefecture and the Song and Qing Dynasty are grateful to the two generals for their lives, the two generals have worked hard, and the soldiers have worked hard!"

Song Qing bowed.

Shu Xinchen fixed his eyes on Luo Yu's body, and said in amazement: "Luo Yu? Why are you, you kid here? ”

Luo Yu hurriedly bowed down and said: "The lowly Luo Yu has seen General Shu, I haven't seen him for many days, and General Shu's demeanor is still the same......"

Li Dingguo was stunned and said, "What? Master Shu is in Luoyang City, do you still have old acquaintances? ”

Shu Xinchen smiled bitterly: "Come on, I will introduce you, Luo Yu is Lord Li Dingguo, the chief soldier of the fourth town of the Tianwei Army; Lord Li, this Luo Yu brother turned out to be a hundred households under the command of Sun Inspector, a cadre under Sun Inspector, and later the emperor rose from the Qin army, and was sent to the emperor's side by Sun Inspector to protect the emperor's safety, in the Kaifeng War, Luo Yu brothers in order to protect the emperor, the leg was seriously injured, and he was disabled, the emperor was going to take him back to the capital, but he didn't expect this kid to say goodbye, so the emperor was annoyed for a long time! ”

Li Dingguo's heart was shocked, and he said slowly: "I see, loyal and righteous man, General Luo, Dingguo is polite!" ”
