Chapter 147 Your Majesty, where are you going?
The form of war completely changed at this moment. The power of firearms was nakedly presented to everyone. Dai Shan regretted that he had not hoarded more firearms, and regretted that he had not formed his own firearm camp. But he had no chance to regret. Because the two armies had already confronted head-on. At this time, he could no longer retreat just by wanting to retreat.
Lu Xuan personally led 3,000 elite cavalry to attack his camp. The Qing army generals gathered the reserve cavalry and met Lu Xuan's team. He thought very clearly that this general who was ignorant of the sky and the earth actually dared to lead the troops to charge himself. As long as he killed him, there would be still a battle...
His thoughts ended here, because after just one encounter, Lu Xuan cut off his head. The cavalry hedge was the most critical. Lu Xuan personally took charge of the attack and arrows, and the entire team directly penetrated the Qing army like a sharp arrow.
The Tartars' elite cavalry were not so bad at all. However, thousands of elite cavalry were shattered by artillery before. They had long lost their fighting spirit. Later, they were stimulated by Lu Xuan and had a little fighting spirit. As a result, they were sanctioned by artillery, muskets, and sky fire thunder. If the entire cavalry regiment had not been suppressed by the generals, the team would have dispersed long ago.
Now, when one meets, the general loses his head. The rest of the cavalry loses his fighting spirit even more. In addition, Lu Xuan is extremely brave, like a god descending to earth. The heavy sword in his hand is not a single enemy. Wherever he goes, there is a crowd of people and horses. Although the cavalry behind him is still a little immature, he will grow rapidly under Lu Xuan's inspiration. Fighting for life is the best motivation for a soldier to grow. After this battle, these surviving soldiers will become real elites.
"Protect Your Majesty." Dai Shan's personal guards set up a shield formation similar to Lu Xuan's banner and protected Dai Shan in the middle. This was also thanks to Lu Xuan. Since Lu Xuan killed Nurhaci among thousands of people, Dai Shan was naturally guilty, fearing that he would be like this, so he attached more importance to his own safety.
After only a dozen breaths, Lu Xuan led the team to kill through the Qing army's cavalry regiment and faced the Qing army's shield formation.
"Break the formation..." he shouted. In the team, two tall knights shook their hands at the same time. A heavy iron ball weighing 300 pounds appeared among the two knights. They each held an iron chain and dragged the iron ball between the two war horses.
Holding a shield in one hand and an iron ball in the other hand, he controlled the war horse with his legs. The heavy iron ball was dragged quickly on the ground. Until less than thirty meters away from the shield formation, a long arrow penetrated the gap in the war horse armor and knocked down a war horse. One of the knights fell to the ground.
But it was enough. The moment he fell to the ground, the two of them let go at the same time. The heavy iron ball, carrying a huge acceleration force, rushed towards the shield formation.
With a loud bang, the heavy hardwood shield was directly smashed by the high-speed rolling iron ball. A man and the knight behind him were smashed and turned over. The next second, Lu Xuan rushed in through the broken gap.
Behind him were more than a dozen groups of breaking formation knights like before, Lu Xuan on the flank, and the infantry regiment on the front. On the battlefield, in an instant, the Ming army had become two groups besieging the Qing army. As for the Mongols, they had already started paddling when they lost about two thousand people.
Seeing Lu Xuan defeating the last cavalry of the Qing army head-on. They turned around without saying a word and ran away without looking back. Dai Shan was furious, but he had no choice but to do anything. But he was not desperate yet. After all, he still had an elite infantry regiment of nearly 8,000 people in his hand, and no matter what, he should be able to escape unscathed.
But when he had just given up this idea, he heard a scream. The scream was too close. When he looked up, he could see a gap in the shield formation. The Ming army, which was formed in the form of a sharp arrow, was less than fifty meters away from him. The leader was the person whom the Qing Dynasty hated the most, Lu Xuan.
"Protect the Lord..." Dai Shan subconsciously shouted. If it were last year, he would never have shouted like this. At that time, he was the invincible Big Beller. When he saw this situation, he would directly take his personal guards to kill him. But this time, he was the emperor... How could the emperor go on the battlefield and rush to kill himself? The throne is indeed a big killing weapon, and in just a few days, it has corrupted Dai Shan's courage.
Not far away, Dorgon barely assembled hundreds of scattered cavalry. Seeing Dai Shan in danger, he instinctively came to rescue him. But after thinking for a while, he stopped. He stood there with his face gloomy and gloomy face, and then hesitated for a while, then turned around and ran away with the few hundred cavalry he had left. But he didn't pay attention. Behind him, Zhao Jingzhong had been staring at him for a long time.
At this time, Zhao Jingzhong had to admire Lu Xuan's vision. The general had long guessed that Dai Shan had just succeeded to the throne and could not completely convince the public. Once the army was defeated, there would inevitably be such a phenomenon of high-level escaping. His task was to focus on the one with the highest status among them.
Zhao Jingzhong can be said to be the Han people who know the Qing Dynasty best. Because he has been wandering around the Qing Dynasty for the past six months. He recognized at a glance that this guy was the Four Beile who was promoted to the Qing Dynasty. He was one of the highest-ranking people in the Qing Dynasty. This is a real big fish.
On the front battlefield, the shield formation trained by Lu Xuan collided with the Qing army head-on. The soldiers in the shield formation only need to do one thing. Poke a spear, then collect it, and then poke it again.
From time to time, there were Qing soldiers who used heavy warhammers to force the formation to break through. However, as soon as they broke through the shield formation, they would be chopped into meat sauce by the swords and axes inside. Those soldiers holding shields and spears would not even look back. They believed in their comrades.
The entire Ming army's infantry regiment was like a huge hedgehog, slowly and firmly advancing. The Qing army found in despair that they had no choice but to use this shield formation. To fight against this shield formation, heavy cavalry usually required to force the formation to break through, or use firearms. Grenade throwing is simply a perfect weapon, but unfortunately these Tartars have not. The cavalry have already completely defeated. They have decided to defeat.
Dai Shan finally began to panic. He ordered a little panic to escort himself to retreat. The 100-person guard regiment immediately brought him a war horse. Dai Shan trembled and looked back in the direction of Lu Xuan. It didn't matter when he saw that Lu Xuan was less than 30 meters away from him.
"Hurry, retreat quickly..." Dai Shan hurriedly got on his horse and was about to escape. At this time, a rapid sound of breaking through the air sounded. A spear suddenly flew out and stabbed Dai Shan's war horse.
"Your Majesty, be careful." A guard rushed out from the flank and blocked Daishan's face. The heavy armor on his body could not resist the power of this attack. His entire body was pierced by a spear. The huge impact force made his body fly backwards and hit Daishan's war horse heavily.
The spear that penetrated the chest stabbed the war horse's legs. Although the strength was not enough to be fatal. However, the war horse under the severe pain still shook violently, and directly threw Daishan, who had just gotten on the horse.
In a trance, he only heard a voice ringing in his ears.
