Prince Chongzhen

Chapter 421: The General's Head is Taken from the Ten Thousand Armies

"Call Junta over."

"twitter!"

Sun Shoufa's movements not only attracted the attention of the Ming army outside the city, but Hauge had also arrived near the battlefield.

Although the Ming troops that broke out from the warehouse suffered heavy casualties under the heavy defense lines, there were only two streets left between the inner and outer Ming troops.

It is obvious that if the Qing army does not make an appropriate response, then this Ming army will most likely break out. By then, the internal and external Ming armies will be in contact, which will naturally be a variable.

Not only Hauge knew this, but all the generals in the army were also aware of it.

But who would have thought that faced with such a situation, Hauge did not issue an order for reinforcements at the first time. Instead, he looked at it for a while with a sullen face and then called Junta over.

"This servant has met the prince."

But in a moment, a tall man appeared in front of Hauge. After greeting him, Hauge pointed at the battle group in the distance and began to speak.

"Can you see the Ming general leading the team?"

"See you."

"You are the Baturu appointed by my father himself. Do you have the courage to take his head for me?"

"Order!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhunta picked up his weapon and turned to leave. Luo Luohun, who was standing beside him, had a complicated expression on his face.

In close combat, the role of the sharp blade is unquestionable. It is reasonable for Hauge to send Junta to cut off the sharp blade.

But are these people from the Zhengbai Banner reliable?
With this in mind, Luo Luohun glanced at Haoge's face. At the same time, Haoge turned his head slightly as if he sensed something.

"It's okay. He can do it."

Zhunta's Baturuyong was obtained when he conquered Pi Island. When it comes to the ability to kill enemies in battle, he is already one of the best among the Manchus.

But in Luo Luohun's view, whether or not one has the ability is one thing, and whether or not one tries one's best is another.

If the Ming army was allowed to attack because he did not give its full strength, the connection between the internal and external Ming armies would be secondary. The key point was that the morale of the army that had been gathered with great difficulty might be affected.

As his thoughts turned, Luo Luohun opened his mouth several times and closed it several times.

After all, Hauge is still more like a military general, but at certain times he would have an inexplicable trust in people.

What's more, Junta had already accepted the order and left, so it would be useless for him to say anything more.

Thinking of this, Luo Luohun no longer bothered about it, but turned his attention to the battle group.

"This Ming general can be called Baturu."

Seeing that Luo Luohun was no longer bothered by this, Hauge would not bring up such a topic in front of so many generals from various flags. After looking at the Ming general who was piercing into his own defense line like a sharp blade, Hauge could not help but praise him.

I have to say, this sentence is indeed from the heart.

In just a short while, the Ming army under the leadership of Sun Shoufa had advanced a long distance. Even when facing the endless Qing army, they still maintained a very high efficiency in killing the enemy.

just
"clang!"

The blades collided, and a deafening sound was heard immediately. Taking advantage of the moment when the enemy in front of him staggered, Sun Shoufa suddenly took a step forward, then pressed the opponent's arm with his shoulder and chopped towards his neck.

There was no chance of success this time, but as the blade approached, the soldier's body couldn't help but lean back, and his neck was instantly exposed. When he reacted, he felt a hot current flowing down his shoulders into his armor.

"puff!"

With a muffled sound, the sword, covered with blood, chopped towards another place again. At the same time, Sun Shoufa pushed suddenly with his left hand, and then the Qing army soldier blocked the whistling sword like a puppet.

Seeing this, the surrounding Qing soldiers retreated in horror.

They originally thought that they could take down Sun Shoufa by relying on their numerical advantage, but they never expected that this Ming general was so brave that he could withstand the attacks of several of them alone.

"kill!"

With a loud shout, the general Sun Shoufa, who had just blocked the attacks of several people, did not retreat but took two steps forward. Then four or five Ming soldiers immediately filled the gap, and the battle line of the two armies pushed forward several feet.

This was undoubtedly a battle of extremely high intensity. Even though Sun Shoufa now seemed to have returned to more than ten years ago, his energy and physical strength were greatly consumed every time he pushed the front line forward.

But he knew very well that if they could not break through the enemy's encirclement in one go, they would be killed by the Qing army in this alley.

Then
"kill!"

With another loud shout, Sun Shoufa, whose physical strength had been greatly depleted, rushed towards the Qing army formation like a tiger out of a cage.

But when the sword in his hand was about to touch the enemy's armor, the instinct brought by many years of battlefields made him feel a sense of alarm. Then he suddenly turned his body to the side, and then he saw a battle axe slashing across his waist.

"I am Baturu Zhunta of the Qing Dynasty. Enemy generals can die by telling me their name."

Report you M!

Upon hearing this, Sun Shoufa immediately felt angry.

Although he is a fierce general on the battlefield, he is definitely not the kind of person who relies only on force without using his brain.

Don't be fooled by the Qing army's seemingly upright appearance, but the dirty thoughts inside are hidden very deeply.

To return to the roots, Sun Shoufa had been fighting in the encirclement of the Qing army for a long time. During this period, he not only killed many enemy soldiers, but also brought his troops to this area by his own strength.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that after such a fierce battle, most of the physical strength would have been used up by anyone, but the enemy general acted like this at this moment. There was no other reason other than to show that he was not taking advantage of the enemy's misfortune.

With this in mind, Sun Shoufa swung the sword in his hand forward angrily, and then Zhunta also raised his axe to meet him, and the two of them started fighting.

The fight between the two quickly escalated, with Sun Shoufa moving like the wind, darting across the battlefield, and swinging his blade with a force as powerful as thunder. Zhunta, on the other hand, was as steady as a mountain, relying on the weight and power of his giant axe, and every swing of his axe made Sun Shoufa feel an unprecedented sense of oppression.

The sound of the battle blades and giant axes clashing continued to ring out, and the figures of the two men intertwined on the battlefield to form a thrilling picture. Even the surrounding soldiers were attracted by the fierce battle.

As time went by, Sun Shoufa's offensive became more and more fierce. With his extraordinary speed and agility, he kept looking for the flaws of Zhun Ta. However, Zhun Ta was like a solid wall. No matter how Sun Shoufa attacked, he could catch it steadily and look for opportunities to counterattack.

When the two were fighting fiercely, Sun Shoufa suddenly found a tiny flaw in the tower. He was delighted and immediately swung his sword and attacked the tower with the force of thunder.

Seeing this, Junta was slightly stunned, but he reacted in a flash. Then he quickly adjusted his posture and prepared to meet Sun Shoufa's fatal blow.

"Hey!"

The sound of the golden bell suddenly rang out, shocking the surrounding soldiers for a while, but at this moment, Zhunta felt that the power coming from his hand was far less than he had expected. No strength?
When he thought of this, a wave of doubts arose in his mind.

He had been watching for quite some time before and had some understanding of Sun Shoufa. In his opinion, this general was almighty. Not only could he break many tricks in battle, but his strength and speed were also far beyond that of ordinary people.

But this time.
Could it be that he had consumed too much energy, causing him to lose his strength?
The thought only lasted for a moment, but just when Junta was extremely confused, the force from his hands suddenly became much stronger. Then he seemed to realize something, and his legs suddenly exerted force and the whole person stepped back.

"ah!!!!"

As a loud shout reached his ears, the battle blade that was fighting with the battle axe suddenly changed from chopping to stabbing and headed straight for Zhunta's neck.

But he was not named Baturuyong for nothing. In a split second, he exerted force with his hands and swung the battle axe diagonally towards Sun Shoufa's shoulder.

“Swish~~~~!”

"Oh!"

The battle blade in Sun Shoufa's hand was disturbed by the battle axe and rubbed against the armor on Junta's neck and flew out. At the same time, the battle axe also hit his shoulder armor hard.

"Well!"

With a muffled groan, Sun Shoufa, who was almost exhausted, could no longer control the blade in his hand. When Junta exerted force again, the battle axe penetrated a little deeper along the gap in the shoulder armor.

I'm old after all.

Feeling the growing pain in his shoulder, Sun Shoufa realized that he had no strength to struggle anymore.

As the saying goes, a clay pot will break if it is kept out of the well, and a general is bound to die in battle.

Ever since the rebel army occupied Shaanxi, he had already prepared himself to die on the battlefield. However, he wanted to report the situation in the city to the reinforcements, so he could not help feeling unwilling to die like this.

If I were younger
Nope!

Even if I die, I must pull this enemy general up with me!
With this in mind, Sun Shoufa endured the severe pain and wanted to tighten the blade in his hand again, but before he could exert force, he saw a black shadow flowing towards him from mid-air, and then he was stunned by a golden sound.

"Oh!"

As the sound was heard, Sun Shoufa felt the force from the battle axe suddenly lighten. Before he could react, Junta, who was still pressing forward, staggered several times.

这 是
While Sun Shoufa was still thinking, his arms instinctively controlled the sword to wipe towards Zhunta's neck. When a stream of fishy blood spurted out, several loud shouts reached his ears.

"Xiang Rensheng has been ordered to come to our aid!"

"Li Guo has been ordered to come to our aid!"

"Hu Yiqing has been ordered to come to our aid!"

这 是
旨？
His Majesty?

Hearing the familiar or unfamiliar name, Sun Shoufa felt his eyes swell up in his heart. Then he pushed Zhunta aside, and then he saw a large group of Ming troops coming within a few feet.

With the arrival of reinforcements, the Ming army, which had already paid a huge price, suddenly burst into cheers. When the cheers spread, Zhu Cilang, who was protected in the distance by several guards, could not help but be startled.

"Let's go and see whether it's us or the Tartars."

Normally, whenever an imperial order was issued, soldiers would respond. However, when Zhu Cilang finished speaking, the guards beside him looked hesitant, as if they were worried about something.

"I won't go over there, hurry up."

"Your Majesty, don't go too close. There are so many enemies in the city that the Tartars might be wary. We are the only ones outside the city. If the Tartars shoot arrows..."

"Too much nonsense! Go!"

As soon as he finished speaking, several guards looked at each other and one of them ran towards the gap in the city wall, while Zhu Cilang began to think anxiously.

Upon hearing the news that someone had broken out of the city, he immediately sent all his generals out.

You should know that among these people, not only Hu Yiqing could take the head of a general among thousands of soldiers, but Li Guo was also famous for his martial arts.

If we think about the situation this way, with the cooperation of them and the guards, there should be a good chance of rescuing that group of people. However, the situation in the city is unclear and the Qing army is not in an easy position. It remains a mystery as to where the cheers came from.

The wait was unbearable. Even though the guard had run back as fast as he could, when he saw his Majesty again he could only see an extremely anxious expression.

"how?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty! The three generals have joined forces with the troops in the city. The cheers came from our troops!"

After he finished speaking, Zhu Cilang couldn't help but feel relieved.

Although the Ming troops inside and outside Hanzhong were only one or two miles apart, these one or two miles made the reinforcements unaware of the situation in the cangli, and made Cangli unaware of the reinforcements' intentions.

Under such circumstances, the reinforcements, who were completely in the dark, could only attack the defense line set up by the Qing army relying on civilian houses, while the Ming army in the warehouse could only waste time inside.

Fortunately.
As time went by, Zhu Cilang outside the city became more and more anxious, but he was also very clear that the Qing army's heavy arrows were only slightly inferior to their muskets, and if someone skilled in archery was used, it could even be like a sniper.

If he really showed up on the city wall, he might immediately repeat the mistake of Zhang Xianzhong, so it would be safer to wait outside the city.

He didn't know how long it had been before cheers broke out in the city again. Just as he was about to order the guards to go and investigate, he saw several knights covered in blood coming straight towards him.

Is this someone who was killed in the city?
Thinking of this, Zhu Cilang couldn't help but guess which of the three Hanzhong generals the visitor was. But when he was quite curious about the identity of the visitor, he saw a horse stopped more than ten feet away, and then the others also got off their horses and walked towards him.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I have accomplished your mission. This is Shaanxi Deputy General Sun Shoufa and his 243 men!"

After he finished speaking, Zhu Cilang couldn't help but glance at the man in the distance, but before he could ask the three people, he heard Xiang Rensheng continue to report.

"Your Majesty, General Sun, I dare not disturb Your Majesty by summoning you."

Startled the Holy Emperor?

After hearing this, Zhu Cilang couldn't help feeling confused. After taking a closer look at the figure in the distance, he realized what this "startling the emperor" meant.

At this time, Sun Shoufa's whole body was soaked in blood. Even though the Ming army's inner armor was all red, it still looked quite scary from a distance.

But Zhu Cilang was not an ordinary emperor after all. He had seen many broken limbs and arms. After he figured out the reason, he did not order Sun Shoufa to see him as usual. Instead, he took a few quick steps and went straight to the bloody man.

Seeing this, Sun Shoufa didn't know that the young soldier in front was the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty. It was just that he had never thought that His Majesty would come to greet him. He didn't react until Zhu Cilang was about ten steps away.

"Your Majesty! Sun Shoufa, the Deputy General of Shaanxi! Long live our emperor! Long live our emperor! Long, long live our emperor!"
