Chapter 61: The Battle of Qinghe (6)
The two torrents quickly collided together, and the shields collided with a banging sound. Under the attack of Zhou Shixian's army, the rebels' chaotic charge formation immediately showed its decline.
Li Daxi took the lead, thrust out the spear in his hand, stabbed to death a rebel armored soldier who was charging towards him, and then rushed away howling, the spear in his hand constantly reaping the lives of the rebels.
Under his leadership, the morale of hundreds of soldiers was greatly boosted, and the rebels who had already lost their formation were defeated step by step. In the end, Ma Huabao and Wang Hui had no choice but to send their servants up in advance to help in the battle, and they barely managed to maintain their front.
.
"Damn it, these guys are really loyal soldiers, are they? How could those beggars in Beijing camp be so fierce?" Ma Huabao said angrily.
Wang Hui's face tightened, and he gritted his teeth and said: "We must quickly ask Eunuch Lu to send troops to support us, otherwise our servants will be wasted here."
Ma Huabao also gritted his teeth. The servants were the most fundamental guarantee for their status in the army. Even if they surrendered to thieves, they were not willing to watch their servants finish their work here.
These military leaders are not loyal people. Let alone surrendering to thieves, they will not hesitate to surrender when necessary.
"Quick, go and ask Eunuch Lu to send troops to help in the battle." Ma Huabao shouted to the pond horse beside him.
Wang Hui looked at the front line. The momentum on the other side was still unabated. The servants stepped forward to help but only temporarily restored the situation. He couldn't help but feel nervous, and even felt a little bit of fear.
The gun head made a harsh sound of steel friction. Li Daxi suddenly exerted force, and the sharp gun head pierced the iron armor and penetrated into the chest of the rebel armor soldier opposite him.
The rebel's hand lost strength, and the spear he was holding tightly fell to the ground. He vomited a large amount of blood from his mouth, and then with a ferocious look on his face, he tried to grab the spear that Li Daxi had inserted into his chest.
But Li Daxi didn't give him a chance. He retracted his hands and immediately pulled back the spear. The stabbed rebel soldier immediately fell to the ground.
At this moment, two sword and shield men suddenly rushed from the side of Li Daxi. After these rebels were suddenly hit, they no longer cared about their formations and just started fighting indiscriminately.
Before the two sword and shield men could launch an attack on Li Daxi, they were directly attacked by five or six long and short weapons from the side, and the two of them were killed quickly.
This is the advantage of the military formation. Although it is impossible to keep the line flat during the attack, for well-trained soldiers, there will basically be no panic.
No matter how strong a person's martial arts skills are, he will be killed sooner or later when faced with continuous attacks from top to bottom by five, six, or even a dozen long and short weapons.
However, it was obvious that the military formation training in the Beijing camp under Li Daxi's command had not reached a state where they could advance and retreat in a controlled manner and could attack and defend. Facing Ma Huabao and Wang Hui's retainers, their offensive stalled for a time.
Fortunately, the servants of these two men were not as good as those of the frontier generals. As the battle line stabilized and the battle continued, they were disturbed by the collapse of the front line and were unable to form a military formation to confront Li Daxi, and they were soon defeated.
Li Daxi's army was lined up in a dense array of weapons, including long spears, short axes, and broadswords. They attacked together and killed every rebel who tried to attack in front of the formation.
The rebels fought independently under the command of various officers. At first, relying on their superior strength, the two sides seemed to be evenly matched. However, once they engaged in battle, they were unable to withstand the attack of the military formation. After a large number of casualties, the so-called servants
, also began to collapse.
After all, they were human beings and Ming soldiers. They were just better equipped than ordinary soldiers, had enough food to eat, and received sufficient military pay. This did not mean that they had the courage to fight to the death.
Li Daxi had already put on his third spear. At this time, he was already red-eyed. Like an extremely ferocious beast, he let out a terrifying roar and kept accelerating his attack on the surrounding enemies.
What Zhou Shixian actually values is this man's honest, honest, brave and fearless temperament, and he never talks much. Zhou Shixian will carry out the orders he gives, and will not ask too many questions. He is not popular or outstanding on weekdays, but at critical moments,
It's absolutely reliable.
If such a person has a suitable platform and allows him to do what he is good at, he will definitely achieve a small amount of success or even achieve great things.
But if it was the original capital camp of the Ming Dynasty, even if he had made meritorious service, it would not be his turn to receive the reward. He would not be able to flatter others, and he would not have any chance to get ahead. He looked at the rebels who kept turning their backs on him and running away.
, Li Daxi was not in a hurry to pursue. He immediately retreated to the second row, observing the situation on both wings while advancing with the military formation.
If Wang Chaodong and Wu Xingye did not achieve breakthroughs at the same time, he would have been harassed by rebel cavalry on both sides if he attacked rashly, which would be extremely detrimental to him.
If Li Daxi didn't even have this little battlefield experience, Zhou Shixian wouldn't have chosen him from the Jin Yi Guards to lead the troops and escort him.
At this moment, after the rebels charged into the phalanx, a group of cavalry suddenly appeared, followed closely by the rumble of horse hooves.
Li Daxi looked up and saw at least three hundred cavalry galloping in the smoke.
After Lu Jiude received Ma Huabao's call for help, he immediately ordered the remaining cavalry under his command to attack, and the remaining hundreds of soldiers followed closely, except for leaving a hundred cavalry and a thousand soldiers behind the formation to prevent any unexpected events.
,aggressive.
Like Ma Huabao, Wang Hui and others, he did not expect that the fighting power of this escorting camp would be so strong. He originally thought that as long as the opponent was not allowed to enter the city, with several times the number of troops and horses on the plains, he could overturn it in one battle.
.
But the current result was completely unexpected, which made Lu Jiude even more curious - who was in charge of this powerful army, and what methods were used to make the soldiers in the Beijing camp so fierce?
In fact, Lu Jiude has already begun to cherish talents and cherish them, and secretly made up his mind in his heart. If he wins after a while, he must capture the opponent alive. He will persuade him carefully and promise to give the high-ranking official a generous salary.
For the sake of the family and the country, it will be of great use to get the other party to rely on you and serve the court, and in the future Northern Expedition to destroy the bandits and drive away the captives.
Of course, what Lu Jiude did not expect was that in the original history, although he did serve as the admiral of the Nanjing camp because of his meritorious service in supporting King Fu, the state affairs did not go on the right track according to his ideas, but worsened day by day.
Even if you cry in the palace, you won't be able to change it one bit.
However, before Lu Jiude could think any more, he suddenly heard the rumble of horse hooves coming from behind him. When he looked back, he saw an army coming out of nowhere behind his own military formation.
Coming on the run.
In particular, among the hundreds of cavalrymen who were charging ahead of this group of soldiers, there was one person who was extremely conspicuous, with a huge back and huge frame. He had already separated from most of the cavalrymen behind him, and only a dozen cavalrymen could barely keep up with him.
Judging from the man's flag and attire, he should be Mr. Qian, whose surname is Xue.
Lu Jiude paused in his heart and immediately understood what was going on. He had been careless. He actually sent only five to six hundred troops to intercept the opponent. Looking at the current situation, he would be killed by the opponent in one fell swoop or break through.
, otherwise it would never have come so quickly.
"Huh, you came here specifically for our family!"
