Autumn of the 17th year of Chongzhen

Chapter 996
The movement on the east bank immediately attracted the attention of the Ming army on the west bank. After the general hurriedly informed Ma Jinzhong, Ma Jinzhong immediately organized troops to attack ahead of time without saying a word.

The sound of war drums of "bang bang bang" suddenly sounded in the darkness. As soon as the drum sounded, the Ming army stationed on the mountain immediately rushed down the mountain holding torches, and the sound of shouting and killing rose from all sides. Ming soldiers fired a row of guns. , knocked down the unprepared Jin army, and immediately drew out his sword and entered the turmoil of the Jin army.

The Ming army rushed down at a high speed, with unstoppable momentum, and the Jin army was unprepared. The soldiers screamed in pain and screamed when they were hit by guns and arrows.

"Don't make a mess!" Hauge turned his head and saw countless Ming soldiers rushing down from the mountain and crashing into the golden army in the valley. The soldiers of the golden army immediately became chaotic, and he shouted anxiously: "The reinforcements are coming to the east bank! Everyone! Don't panic, fight with the southerners!" There are a large number of Han people under the rule of the Jin Dynasty. These Han people have the same language and the same race as the Han people under the Ming Dynasty. This is an extremely unfavorable thing for the Kingdom of Jin. The Han people under the Jin Dynasty were called Han people, and the Han people under the Ming Dynasty were called Nan people, or Nanman, in order to achieve the purpose of splitting the Han people and creating confrontation.

Now that the Ming army saw the attack on the east bank, they knew that the reinforcements from the Jin army were coming, so they were naturally anxious, worried that Hauge would slip away, and all the soldiers launched a fierce attack on the Jin army.

On the hills, inspired by the artillery of the Ming army, arrows and gunballs rained down, and the soldiers of the Jin army mostly wore light armor, especially in the valley.

The terrain is narrow and there is almost no place to hide. In addition to the dense crowd, countless people were shot or shot. The soldiers helped their injured companions and retreated instinctively to the edge of the Tuojiang River. Many people had been squeezed into the water.

At this time, Sony and others heard Hauge's cry, and they all put away their joy at seeing the reinforcements, and became nervous instead.

Although the reinforcements had reached the east bank, the only way to save them was to build a floating bridge, but it would take time. If the reinforcements had not built the floating bridge, they would be driven into the river by the Ming army, and the arrival of the reinforcements would be useless.

In the blink of an eye, the roaring Ming army on the hillside had already been killed. With their shields in front, they knocked the Jin army back and compressed the movement space of the Jin army. The spearmen stabbed and killed the Jin army.

"Brothers hold on!"

If things go on like this, before the pontoon bridge is erected, the Jin soldiers on the river beach will be driven into the Tuojiang River and drowned, and Sony and others will start to shout anxiously.

He led a group of golden soldiers, and confronted the Ming army. First, the soldiers met each other, and the soldiers stabbed each other with long spears.

The Jin army was suddenly attacked by the Ming army, and the organizational system was very chaotic. Without an effective resistance, they were forced to the riverside by the Ming army.With the organization of Hauge, Sony and others, the Jin army began to show organized resistance. Just like the Ming army, the shield was in front, the spear stabbed, and the bow and arrow lobbed from the back.

After all, there are still more than 2 Jin soldiers in the valley. Under the shouts of the generals, the Jin soldiers who did not want to be driven into the water rushed to the front of the battle line one after another, pushing back against the Ming army, fighting with the Ming army soldiers. A step apart, even directly collided with each other, slashed and killed each other across the shield wall, flesh and blood flew across the front of the two armies, and blood mist rose from time to time. Kill the enemies you see.

Hauge saw that under the continuous compression of the Ming army, the Jin army aroused resistance. Although the Jin army was squeezed to the riverside, it also blocked the momentum of the Ming Dynasty's rushing down, stabilized the front line, and even counterattacked. push sign.

"Okay! Stop it!" Hauge put on his helmet, raised his sword, and shouted loudly.

But as soon as he finished speaking, there were almost simultaneous shouts of killing from the north and south valley entrances.

The Ming army with torches pulled down the low wall that blocked the Jin army, and then moved away the horses and antlers in front of the formation. The soldiers carried the flying bridge and put it on the ditch to sort out a passage. The Ming army two miles away immediately shouted Then rushed into the valley.

Ma Jinzhong held a big knife, and together with Juechen, countless Ming troops rushed out behind him, and the Jin army was instantly flanked by three sides.

Ma Jinzhong led a team of cavalry and rushed to the side of the Jin army along the Tuojiang River. His horse galloped and he slashed left and right with a big sword. He was extremely brave and there was no single enemy. , the front line that the Jin army had just stabilized began to collapse from the north and south.

The Jin army also had a large number of cavalry, but being squeezed by the Ming army, they didn't even have a place to stay, let alone mount their horses and charge into battle.

Ma Jinzhong rushed for a while, but couldn't move anymore, because more than 2 Jin soldiers were crowded in a narrow area, densely packed, and people were crowded, and the horses hit the wall of people, and they couldn't hit it at all.

This time when Haoge was besieged, He Tengjiao gave him great trust. It can be said that he put the credit in front of him and let him take it. Especially Li Dingguo.

Ma Jinzhong couldn't rush in, so he turned over and got off his horse immediately. The crowd was so dense that the closed knife could not be used, so he took a Miao knife and a round shield, and directly crashed into the wall of the Jin army, and slashed forward while shouting loudly. He shouted: "Catch Hauge alive, reward ten thousand gold, and make him a Marquis!"

When the soldiers of the Ming army heard this, they immediately boiled up, and charged forward with red eyes.

There is a mountain on one side and a river on the other. The commander-in-chief of the front of the Ming army drove the Jin army into the river with guns. Under the attack of the Ming army from three sides, the Jin army fell into the river one by one. Submerged in the river, and then washed away by the river.

Hauge was also pushed to the riverside. If it wasn't for the personal guards, he would have been pushed down the river by the soldiers.

Seeing that the situation was extremely critical, the Jin army's front might collapse at any time, and more than 2 people would all be driven into the river to drown. Suddenly, a wooden raft came across the Tuojiang River.

Hauge noticed the situation, and immediately asked two soldiers who knew a little about water to tie ropes, then jumped into the river, and dragged the raft to the shore to avoid being washed away by the river.

The officer on the raft went ashore, and immediately rushed to a big rock on the shore with the rope in his arms, then looped the rope around the stone, tied it with wooden stakes, and nailed it into the ground to fix it again.

When the officer was fixed, another soldier threw a torch into the river, and immediately tightened the rope when the other side saw it, and the rope slowly straightened.

At this time, Hauge asked urgently: "Who is on the east bank? Who is going to rescue me?" "The ministers are the deployment of King Pingxi!" The officer discovered Hauge and hurriedly saluted: "Don't worry, your majesty. , The pontoon bridge will be built soon, and I will definitely protect the emperor to cross the river safely!" "Okay..." Hauge no longer remembers that he was on guard against Wu Sangui at this time, and said straightly: "The eldest uncle is really a loyal minister, and I want to seal him as an official. Prince." When the pontoon bridge was being built, the Ming army squeezed further, and several soldiers of the Jin army were squeezed into the river. They stared at the raft in panic and rushed over to snatch it.

Seeing this, Hauge immediately had someone shoot him. The river turned red instantly, and the commotion was stopped.

At this time, the Jin Army on the east bank finally pulled a rope and came over with a series of rafts. Dozens of rafts were connected end to end, then fixed with planks, and pilings were driven in the water. After a while, the pontoon bridge was erected.

Originally, the Jin army had no way out, and although the line of defense was precarious, it was still solid. However, with the opening of the pontoon bridge, everyone knew that there was a way of escape. .
