Although Mongolian Zhenghongqi Gushan'e Zhenengetu hadn't expected it, he showed no fear on his face. He took his usual big ax in his hand, facing the continuous sound of "bang bang" in front of him, rushed up.

In his opinion, the Xuanfu army in front was indeed more valiant than other Ming armies, but even so, they were doomed to be vulnerable to their own warriors.

Even if he can remain undefeated for a while with his bravery, when the warriors in his own banner defeat the Ming army's infantry on the opposite side, and when the brigade returns to help, the four sides will surely disperse.

Engetu always believed that although there were some battalions in the Ming army who dared to fight, at best they relied on their momentary bravery to fight a few downwind battles. Once the situation on the battlefield reversed, they would collapse immediately.

Since he started to follow the old slave Nurhachi to fight in all directions when he was young, he has seen many such situations.

As the saying goes, "people stumble, horses stumble", even Engetu, who has been on the battlefield for a long time, never thought that the eagle he had played with all his life would be blinded by the eagle today!

He led more than a hundred elite Mongolian knights around him, rode up and galloped up, facing Tan Zhenlin of the Xuanfu Army Ding Brigade head-on.

"Bang!...Bang!..."

There were only two incoherent crisp sounds, and the two deadly bullets shot out quickly in a cloud of sparks, passing by the oncoming weapons such as throwing spears, throwing axes, and iron bones.

Engetu was like other generals of the Qing Dynasty. He rode his horse and rushed to the front. He saw two sparks flashing in his eyes, and only heard two crisp sounds in his ears. Before he made any reaction, he felt that he His chest tightened, and his breath condensed.

As far as the battle is concerned, Wang Pu's Datong army has done their best. Even if they still fail to break the siege of Jinzhou in the end, Wang Pu's merits and demerits will at most balance out, and he will not lose his life because of it anyway.

While besieging the Chicheng Camp of the Xuanfu Army, the slave bandits continued to attack the battalions of the Datong Army in the south. Finally, Hou Fangke's guerrilla battalion in Datong Town lost the support of the Chicheng Camp. after the rout.

He hurriedly lowered his head to check, but saw that the iron armor on his left chest was sunken inward, and bright red blood kept gushing out. Engetu's eyes were already dull, but he still stuck his head forward with difficulty, trying to Find out what's going on in your chest.

In fact, Wang Pu guessed correctly one more thing, that is, Zhang Cheng did keep a backup, but his backup was no longer here, but in the south of Jinzhou, a few miles away.

The battle between the Ming and Qing sides in the middle has become fierce, such close combat, and almost all of our own side are pawns, if we turn around and run away at this time, and hand over our backs to the Tartars defenselessly, that would be tantamount to suicide!

But things have come to this, is there a better strategy besides it?
If you want to blame, you can only blame Zhang Cheng for his low official position. After all, the highest military commander in Liaodong is Hong Chengchou, the governor of Jiliao, not Zhang Cheng.

A native of the Horqin Tribe of Mongolia, who lived in the Hada Tribe for generations, was under the Zhenghong Banner of Mongolia, and was a general of the Qing Dynasty.

During this period, Engetu has been following Nurhachi and Huang Taiji in battles. He once conquered Lindan Khan of Chahar Mongolia, conquered North Korea, and invaded Daming many times.

In particular, the right-wing battalion of Datong General Fu Dianzuo had retreated to the defense line of the Xuanfu Chariot Battalion.

With a "bang", the moment Engetu's huge body hit the ground, it stirred up a cloud of dust, and then there was no more sound, only unconsciously twisting a few times when the horse trampled on it.

Although the process is frightening, once the bet is successful, the benefits will be huge!

In the eighth year of Chongzhen, after the establishment of the Mongolian Eight Banners, Engetu was transferred to the Mongolian Zhenghong Banner and was awarded the post of Gushan Ezhen of the Mongolian Zhenghong Banner.

At the same time, there were groups of gunmen lined up in the gaps between the gunnery teams. Even behind the gunner archers, there were rows of gunmen.

With the addition of such a new force, the slave bandits lost for a while, but were killed by them and retreated more than 200 steps away.

Although Zhang Cheng and Wang Pu only had less than 3000 troops, they were after all the guards of the two commanders-in-chief, and naturally they were all elite soldiers in the Xuan army.

As most of the slaves continued to charge up, Zhang Cheng, Wang Pu and other Xuan troops were once again surrounded by them, and the battalions were gradually divided by the slaves.

Once a person is manipulated by anger, he will lose his mind!
This point is even more vividly reflected on the battlefield.

But at that time, he was held hostage by Zhang Cheng, and he had no chance of retreating or escaping, but now, he dared not escape alone, not because he was afraid of being punished by the military law of Governor Hong Chengchou of Jiliao!

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhang Cheng commanded the battalions of the Datong Army to quickly regroup, advance to the original station again, and form a straight line with the Chicheng Battalion to rebuild and build a barrier.

Wang Pu didn't want to lead the elite of the Chinese army to join the melee. Even if he rescued the soldiers under his command in Datong Town, he didn't think it was as important as his own life.

At the same time, in order to delay the change of formation, he even dispatched the cavalry of the Chinese army from Chicheng Battalion as the rear guard of his formation, attacking from the south to prevent the slaves and cavalry from rushing into the formation.

It is not easy for them to be able to persevere until now, and they will suddenly collapse at some point. If they return to the Datong Army, they will die in a daze, and they don't know.

But Wang Pu, who didn't have the slightest trust in his own Datong army, had full confidence in the soldiers of the Xuanfu army!

Therefore, ever since he accompanied Zhang Cheng and led the sharp soldiers of the Chinese army under his command, and rushed to rescue the soldiers of the battalions in the middle, he followed Zhang Cheng closely and never left.

At this time, the infantry battalion on the middle road of Xuan Dajun was on the verge of collapse. Although they fought desperately, there were too many Tazi soldiers rushing towards them. Wave after wave, the infantry soldiers of Xuan Da Army were exhausted. It's big, and it's powerless to stop it at first sight.

At the same time, he believed even more that Zhang Cheng was already in the position of commander-in-chief of a town at such a young age, and his future prospects were even more limitless, so how could he be willing to put himself in danger?

Therefore, Zhang Cheng didn't have to risk himself today, but he had no other choice!

At this moment, roars came from the infantry of the Xuanda army, and thousands of soldiers from the Xuanda army let out hysterical roars. killing field.

Let’s talk about the Battle of Julu in the 11th year of Chongzhen. He once led the Tartars of Zhenghong Banner in Mongolia to participate in the battle, and his hands were stained with the blood of countless people from Mongolia, North Korea, and Ming Dynasty.

However, as the slaves and Luqi regrouped to kill, after all, they were numerous and powerful, and many Mongolian cavalry continued to shoot waves of arrows from a distance, which greatly disrupted the formation of Xuan Da's army.

"Kill...kill slaves...kill Tartars...kill..."

However, after the right-wing battalion of the Datong Army retreated first, the Youbing battalion in the town and the standard battalion commanded by Wang Zheng also began to retreat. total disadvantage.

Engetu, a native of the Horqin tribe in Mongolia, whose surname lost his surname, led his troops to Houjin during the old slave Nurhachi period, was first attached to Zhenghongqi in Manchuria, and was granted the post of Niulu Ezhen.

How can he change all this?
Today, if Zhang Cheng resolutely ordered the Xuan army to retreat, cross the Xiaoling River and return to the south bank, it would certainly ensure that the main force of the Xuan army would not be lost, and he predicted that the Qing army would not dare to pursue it with all its strength.

…………

He guessed that the reason why Zhang Cheng was like this was because he must have a backup!

However, Hong Chengchou couldn't withstand the pressure from the court, and because of the lack of fuel in Jinzhou City, he formulated such an urgent plan for the northern crossing. out of the meeting.

Zhang Guodong's cavalry of the Chinese army gathered in the middle of the circle. They all led their horses and waited for the command of the general.Always be ready to strike.

It was because of this trace of remaining blood, full of hatred, and endless anger, that the Xuanfu Allied Forces could withstand the repeated onslaughts of the slaves and Luqi.

Fortunately, Zhang Guodong is also an old army. When he was under the command of Xuanda Governor Lu Xiangsheng in his early years, he was already a general.

Don't tell me, this Wang Pu is not simple, he really guessed it right, Zhang Cheng, as the chief soldier of the Xuanfu, the dignified General Zhenshuo, how could he put himself in danger?
If it was really a mistake and he died on the battlefield, how would he display his strategies and ambitions?
How can he realize his ideal of changing China, changing the world, and setting rules for all generations?
But there is an exception to everything, such as today's events, cannot be changed by Zhang Cheng's will, and he does not want to personally lead his elite soldiers in the Chinese army to rush forward to fight the slaves with their lives.

Fortunately, the [-] soldiers on the right side of the chariot, led by Qianzong Gou Changsheng, came in time for reinforcements, so they relied on the chariot as a shield against the Tartar cavalry, and they were able to hold their ground.

The moment the bright red blood hole came into Engetu's eyes, his expression immediately froze completely, and there was no trace of life in his eyes. With a "wow", he spurted out a big mouthful of bright red blood, and his whole body fell violently. Fall from the horse.

Even if the generals of the Xuanda Army can retreat, what can they do?
From then on, not only will they lose the opportunity to understand Jinwei forever, it may even lead to a complete defeat in the Liao War. Not only is the siege of Jinzhou unsolvable, even Songshan, Xingshan, and even Ningyuan City may not be able to be preserved.

All of this seems to have been arranged by God in the dark. Engetu's actions and his ending are exactly in line with the saying "come out to mess around, and you will have to pay back sooner or later"!
It is true that "good and evil will be rewarded in the end", and Engetu will use his own blood here today to repay the blood debt he owed before, until the last drop of his body is drained.

Although, at the beginning, with the excellent and sharp Yunzhou flintlock, all the slaves, thieves and cavalry who would commit crimes in the future were kept out of the formation, and the army formation of the Chicheng camp was not directly attacked.

Everyone still understands this truth, not to mention fighting so far, seeing with their own eyes the comrades who have been with him day and night, falling one by one before their eyes, everyone's heart is full of hatred and anger.

But once they survived the difficult period at the beginning of the war without fleeing, the remaining blood in their hearts will be stimulated, and at this moment they completely forget the word "life and death".

In fact, the person he fears is not Hong Chengchou, but Zhang Cheng, the chief soldier of Xuanfu who he is following closely now!

But in this way, Dorgon can free up his hands and mobilize slave soldiers to besiege Wu Sangui, Cao Bianjiao and other Ming troops. Once other towns are defeated because of this, they may even be wiped out by the slaves.

This is equivalent to a gamble. On the surface, Zhang Cheng is betting on his own life, but the essence behind it is the fate of Ming Dynasty.

The Chicheng camp, which was targeted by the slave bandits, had already surrounded the city in a circular formation. The outermost line was a line of defense composed of chariots and horses. Shield guards.

In their minds, what always reverberates is the roar of "revenge", and the hatred for the Tartars will also evolve into anger, which can ignite the Tartars' bodies until they are burned to ashes!

Moreover, since the beginning of the war this morning, they have been accompanying Zhang Cheng and Wang Pu. They have never participated in the battle. Rush forward to kill the Tartars.

In fact, Hong Chengchou, the governor of Jiliao, is not gambling?

Logically speaking, Wang Pu should be commanding the battles in his battalions in Datong Town, but Wang Pu, as the commander-in-chief, knows the virtues of his soldiers and horses and what they are like in their bones.

Zhang Cheng, the chief soldier of the Xuan government, held Wang Pu, the general soldier of Datong, and led the soldiers of the Chinese army in the two towns of Xuanda and Datong with less than 3000 troops, and entered the battle group between the infantry and the Tartars in front without hesitation.

As for whether they can hold the defense line of Cheying, they don't have the slightest confidence in their hearts. Now they can only "do good deeds and don't care about the future". They have no time to take care of the ending, and leave everything to God to decide!

The Chicheng Battalion of the Xuanfu Army had no time for others at the moment, because all the surrounding infantry battalions were retreating, they became the most prominent one in the Xuanda Army infantry battalion, and they naturally received special attention from the slaves, robbers, and cavalry.

This is the case with the soldiers of the Xuan Da Army now. Before the battle, they still had some fear in their hearts, especially the soldiers of the Da Tong Army, and this fear was at its peak during the period when the war just started.

Although the Chicheng Battalion reacted quickly and changed formations in a timely manner, the slaves did not take the opportunity to rush into the formation, but they were also deeply besieged by the slaves, and their self-protection was still insufficient, so how could they spare any energy to rescue the battalions of the Datong Army.

If this is the case, the land of Liaodong will be lost, and the barrier of Ming Dynasty in Liaodong will also be completely lost. The slaves and barbarians can go straight to Shanhaiguan, threaten the capital of the Ming Dynasty, and peep into the heart of the Central Plains of the Ming Dynasty.

At the same time, Wang Zheng's Datong Biao Battalion and Fu Dianzuo's Right Wing Battalion have also retreated behind the defense line of the Xuanfu Military Car Battalion, and are on the verge of collapse. They can only use their last ounce of strength to hold on.

Even if he doesn't admit it, how can anyone with a discerning eye fail to see that his strategy of crossing Hebei is to gamble his own future with the fate of the Ming Dynasty!

Not only him, but even the elders in the Great Ming Dynasty Hall, aren't they also betting?

However, once the bet is lost, Daming will plummet. From then on, he will no longer be able to suppress thieves, nor can he compete with slave thieves. Daming is doomed to surrender.

However, the princes of the court may not have any losses. In their view, no matter who becomes the emperor, they need the best scholars among them to serve him.

As long as they can keep their family's wealth and future, they don't care who the emperor is?
