The 371st chapter final glory (1)
At Yingjianling, the temporary central army tent, Duoduo's expression became more and more serious. He thought that the Dashun army under Li Zicheng was divided into two parts: the front army and the central army. The Eight Banners Army could concentrate their forces to deal with the central army. After completely defeating the central army, he turned around to deal with the front army. In this way, he could completely wipe out Li Zicheng and his Dashun army. But what he never expected was that the Dashun army, which seemed weak on weekdays, had an amazing fighting spirit at this moment.
The battle at Yingjianling has become extremely cruel. Under the leadership of Li Zicheng, the soldiers of the Dashun Army began to fight with the most elite soldiers of the Eight Banners Army. They were fearless and continued. The cavalry collided with the Eight Banners Army, and the infantry rushed forward without hesitation. Many of the Eight Banners Army soldiers who had originally rushed left and right were forced to retreat.
The Dashun Army suffered heavy casualties, but the Eight Banners Army was not much better. After all, the shortcomings in military strength were obvious.
After the five thousand Eight Banners soldiers lying outside Yingjian Ridge rushed into the mountain stream, the Dashun Army, which had fought to fight to the death, collapsed completely. At the critical moment, Li Zicheng turned the tide. He shouted loudly, and a silver spear in his hand was waving the airtight, killing several Eight Banners soldiers. The personal guards around Li Zicheng adopted the strategy of two or three people besieging an Eight Banners soldiers and also killed several Later Jin Tartars. After those infantry with weak combat power went through a lot of hardships to kill an Eight Banners soldiers, their morale was greatly boosted and they felt that the Later Jin Tartars were not that scary.
It is precisely because of everyone's persistence that the Eight Banners Army has an absolute advantage.
The strategy of the Dashun Army's combat has always been very clear, that is, infantry with weak power rushed in the front, and the elite old camp soldiers dragged them back a little. When the infantry created an opportunity, the old camp soldiers would take the opportunity to rush forward. This tactic was fully implemented in Yingjianling, which made the Eight Banners soldiers miserable. On the surface, they had killed many Dashun Army soldiers, but most of them were infantry with weak combat power. Moreover, these infantry effectively stopped their attack speed. When they woke up, the soldiers of the Dashun Army's old camp had already leaned over, and if they were not careful, they would lose their lives.
After putting it to death, the soldiers of the Dashun Army have fully entered a state of fighting and fighting. The infantry are not afraid of death, and the soldiers of the old camp are desperate. The power they burst out is frightening, and it also makes the fight in Yingjian Ridge enter a short-term stalemate.
What made Duoduo even more uneasy was the direction of the exit of Yingjianling. The shouts of killing there became more and more intense. Half a quarter of an hour ago, the 5,000 soldiers responsible for guarding the exit suffered a great loss and were already struggling to support it. It is very likely that they could not be able to defend it.
The Dashun Army exploded with combat power, making Duoduo restless. He was preparing to fight in person several times. When he picked up the spear, he sat down again. He was the commander of the army and had to be in full command.
The scouts had sent out several groups. What Duoduo was most concerned about at this moment was when the army led by Abatai would arrive. Judging from the current situation, if it were not for the reinforcements led by Abatai, it would be difficult to completely wipe out Li Zicheng and his Dashun Army with just 20,000 soldiers of the Eight Banners Army. What made Duoduo even more uneasy was that if the front army led by Liu Zongmin rushed in from the exit of Yingjianling and joined the battle group, the Eight Banners Army would suffer greater losses, and Li Zicheng would also have the chance to escape.
At this time, Duoduo finally understood why Dorgon insisted on completely destroying the Dashun Army and killing Li Zicheng, and also understood why both Fan Wencheng and Hong Chengchou insisted on destroying the Dashun Army first.
After experiencing countless battles and seeing too many fierce fighting scenes, Duoduo was still shocked by the fighting spirit of the Dashun Army. He secretly thanked that the original combat plan had not changed. If Li Zicheng was really let go, and when Li Zicheng's strength grew stronger, it would be a huge threat to the Qing court.
Duoduo was still confident and his advantage was completely on the Eight Banners Army. More and more soldiers were killed in the Dashun Army. As long as many Eight Banners soldiers persisted, the time was to completely defeat the Dashun Army when the army led by Abatai came to rescue and completely defeat the Dashun Army.
Li Zicheng has become a blood man, and all the blood of the Later Jin Tartars was splattered on him. He had personally killed three Later Jin Tartars, which was an amazing record.
Li Zicheng, who was slightly tired, slowed down a little, and the guards around him quickly surrounded him.
Li Zicheng looked at the situation around him and showed a proud smile on his face.
"Haha, the Later Jin Tartars are nothing great. Brothers are good. I will send two personal guards to the exit direction to see. The front army led by the general should come to help. If you can meet the general, you will say that I am waiting for him..."
Liu Zongmin had already killed four Later Jin Tartars, and the murderous aura on his body became stronger and stronger, so when he jumped over, several Eight Banners soldiers unconsciously avoided it.
Twenty thousand people fought against 5,000 people, and the advantage in military strength was obvious. Liu Zongmin had already issued a death order and had to rush into Yingjian Ridge as fast as possible to meet with the Central Army to protect the emperor. Therefore, all the soldiers under his command rushed towards the direction of the import like crazy. The Later Jin Tartars, who were fighting against them, began to slowly retreat.
Liu Zongmin is less than ten meters away from the exit direction of Yingjianling.
With a roar again, Liu Zongmin jumped into the direction of the import.
There were only 200 soldiers guarding the Eight Banners Army Zhengbai Banner who were guarding the import direction, and the rest were all involved in the battle.
The bow and arrow flew over roaring, facing Liu Zongmin's direction.
Liu Zongmin, who was roaring in his mouth, waved the spear in his hand and tried to resist the arrows that were shooting.
"General, be careful..."
A figure and a war horse pounced on Liu Zongmin's front, and a short scream instantly appeared.
Liu Zongmin instantly widened his eyes, and the personal soldiers who blocked the bow and arrow in front of him, as well as the war horse under his crotch, were shot several arrows.
The personal soldier on the horse's back shook his body and looked at Liu Zongmin, with a smile on his face.
"Great, General must be careful. Later, the bows and arrows of the Later Jin Tartars are so powerful..."
The personal soldiers fell down and the war horses also neighed. Liu Zongmin's eyes turned red. He stepped back slightly and roared in his mouth.
"The messenger, where did the messenger go? Summon all the bows and arrows, and shoot them to death..."
The Dashun Army also has archers, but the archery skills cannot be compared with the Eight Banners Army. However, there are only 200 soldiers guarding the exit of Yingjianling, and they are relatively concentrated. Therefore, when firing bows and arrows at this time, it can suppress the other party on the one hand, and on the other hand, it can also give the other party a certain degree of damage.
Hundreds of Dashun Army archers half-squatted on the ground, raised the longbow in their hands, pulled out the arrow feathers on their backs, pulled the bow and shot the arrows as much as possible. The whimpering bows and arrows instantly formed a rain of arrows and headed towards the exit of Yingjianling.
A short scream appeared, and several Eight Banners soldiers were shot by bows and arrows and fell to the ground. The other Eight Banners soldiers were busy looking for a place to hide.
"Brothers, rush over, rush over..."
It was only a blink of an eye that the Later Jin Tartars, who were guarding the exit direction, dodged the bow and arrow, and naturally had no time to shoot the bow and arrow. How could Liu Zongmin miss such a good opportunity? He rushed towards the exit direction first, and more than ten personal soldiers followed him and rushed towards the exit direction.
The commander of the Eight Banners Army not far away had seen this scene. He roared loudly and demanded that the soldiers at the exit of Yingjianling fight to the death and never let the front and central troops of the Dashun Army meet. Unfortunately, all the soldiers of the Eight Banners Army who rushed over were blocked by the Dashun Army.
As the war horses crossed the exit, Liu Zongmin saw several commanders lying on the ground at a glance, all of which were gone.
There is no doubt that these messengers must have been sent by Li Zicheng, urging the front army to quickly meet with the central army to resist the Later Jin Tartars. Unfortunately, these messengers were unable to rush out and all fell not far from the exit.
Liu Zongmin almost spurted fire from his eyes. He turned his horse's head and rushed towards the Later Jin Tartars in front of him. He made a thunderous roar. Two Later Jin Tartars slapped their horses to greet him. One of them raised the bow and arrow in his hand and shot it with an arrow. Liu Zongmin, who was glaring at the glare, turned his body sideways, avoided the oncoming bow and arrow, and stabbed directly from the bottom.
The spear instantly pierced the body of an Later Jin Tartar. After a short scream, the Later Jin Tartar fell off his horse.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the Later Jin Tartars quickly turned their horse's head and prepared to avoid it. Unfortunately, his movements were slower. Liu Zongmin, who drew out his spear, stabbed him with the momentum. The spear head hit the throat of the Later Jin Tartars, and a wisp of blood splattered out.
The many personal soldiers who followed Liu Zongmin cheered loudly, raised their spears in their hands, and rushed towards the many Later Jin Tartars.
The most important thing in the cavalry duel is the momentum of charge. The Eight Banners Army soldiers guarding the exit of Yingjianling were already on the defensive. Their main responsibility was to fire bows and arrows and shoot the Dashun Army soldiers who were about to rush over. Therefore, when Liu Zongmin and others charged over, they had no time to prepare for the battle, so they could only respond in a hurry.
Screams came one after another, and many Eight Banners soldiers fell down their horses, while the rest of the Eight Banners soldiers rushed out of Yingjianling.
The direction of the entrance to Yingjianling was completely broken.
Liu Zongmin looked at the escaped Later Jin Tartars, no longer fond of fighting, turned his horse's head and charged inside, following behind him, and more soldiers charged forward on horseback.
The commander of the Eight Banners Army, who was still fighting hard outside, saw this scene, roared unwillingly and asked all the soldiers to pursue them. It was meaningless to continue fighting at the exit of Yingjianling...
