Chapter 151 Even a slave thief, how many people are really not afraid of death!
Surrounded by Bagala, Hauge stood on a higher ground and watched the situation on the battlefield. He was not particularly anxious about the stalemate between the two sides.
His subordinate Jia Lazhangjing Alzin is leading nearly a thousand Zhenglan Banner Qing soldiers, escorting the plundered men, as well as the looted goods and grains, and estimates that the time is coming soon.
Moreover, the Qing troops who were separately looting outside had received Dorgon's military orders and were converging in the direction of Julu. In his direction, there were also several groups of Qing troops with more than a thousand riders on their way.
Therefore, although the Ming army in front of him was very cunning and difficult to deal with, and he also recognized that this Ming army was Lu Xiangsheng's men who had fought against each other under Gaoyang City, they were still quite capable.
Judging from the tactics of the Ming army, they actually delayed deliberately, presumably waiting for reinforcements to arrive. This was exactly what Hauge wanted when he met Hu Dawei and other Ming troops.
They just wanted to capture this Ming army, so that they could show their face in front of Dorgon. However, after fighting for half an hour, both sides suffered casualties, but they could not catch this Ming army and could not completely defeat them.
.
He didn't care about his face, and sent several groups of sentries to various places, looking for other Qing troops who were coming, thinking of gathering troops and horses to annihilate the Ming army in front of him.
Although he had this idea, in his heart he still longed to use his current strength to completely annihilate or defeat the Ming army in front of him.
When he saw Dan Dai and De Kelei, who were able to surround the Ming army with a large and powerful force, he was overjoyed and was about to urge his horse forward.
He led the Zhenglan Banner elite with less than 300 people around him, and defeated the Ming army in one go. His horse had only taken two steps when he saw a cloud of smoke and dust rising about 500 steps to the south.
"what is that?"
Hauge muttered in his heart.
He suddenly woke up and shouted loudly: "Ming Jin retreats his troops. You lead a hundred cavalry and go and bring Dan Dai back."
He suddenly felt that something was not right, but he couldn't tell what was wrong. He just felt panicked in his heart, and he turned his head in confusion.
A trace of panic flashed across Hauge's calm face as he rushed over. Fortunately, he covered it up in time. Faced with being surrounded from all sides, he could only secretly hate himself for being careless and only thinking about destroying this Ming army. Yixue
Former shame.
But he really didn't expect that the opponent's reinforcements would come so quickly. All of this was different from his previous understanding. Didn't all the armies of the Ming Dynasty fight on their own and preserve their strength?
Why do you feel so special today?
As for the first battle in Gaoyang City, it was an accidental encounter, and then there was a melee. There were many soldiers in Ming Dynasty, but there were few of them. In the end, they all retreated.
But why did the Ming army's reinforcements arrive so quickly today?
Damn it, is this still the Ming Army?
At the same time, a thought flashed through his mind: Prince Su is indeed very cunning!
…………
Zhang Cheng saw the smoke and clouds rising from the battlefield from a distance. After shouting to Guo Yingxian, he urged his horses to gallop. They had more than 1,300 knights, but they were galloping with the momentum of thousands of horses.
Amidst the billowing smoke, Zhang Cheng saw a group of Qing troops standing on a high ground. There were about two hundred people. Although they looked very capable, they stood out like chickens, but their number was pitifully small.
Looking at the entire battlefield situation, the Ming army had the upper hand everywhere. Hauge knew this very well. He was guarded by more than thirty Bagala soldiers.
Just now he ordered a Baya La Zhuangda to lead a team to help the Dandai tribe leave the battlefield. Now there are only less than twenty Baya La soldiers and more than a hundred elite horsemen and cavalry around him.
But the golden drum had already sounded, and after receiving the order, all the ministries were about to rush back to join his central army. He had to do his best to keep the central army from chaos. At this time, he saw a section of the Ming army charging behind him.
His only thought was to lead his elite troops to meet them and defeat the Ming army.
…………
Not only Hauge thought so, but Zhang Cheng also thought so. He galloped on his horse and shouted loudly: "Brothers, prepare your guns and cannons. Don't fight with slaves and thieves. Let's fight quickly..."
Following the orders, all the officers and men held the rein in one hand and the gun in their right hand, and galloped towards where Hauge was.
Hauge and Zhang Cheng had the same idea, and both of them galloped forward with their horses. The difference was that Zhang Cheng's 800 cavalry were divided into two columns and galloped forward, while Hauge took the lead and attacked all the way.
Zhang Cheng clamped the horse's belly with his legs and controlled the horse under his crotch. His left hand still held the reins tightly, trying his best to keep the horse stable while galloping. He raised his right hand and aimed his three-eyed gun at a Qing cavalry.
"...bang...bang...bang..."
As the three-eyed blunderbuss in Zhang Cheng's hand was fired, there were continuous explosions and bursts of green smoke. The Qing army threw spears from the formation and flying axes flew from time to time.
Zhang Cheng had just shot once, when he saw a flying ax flying towards him. He had no time to react, so he directly used the three-eyed gun as a sledgehammer and swung it, knocking away the oncoming flying ax.
At this time, the two armies were intersecting, and Hauge was rushing towards him from the opposite side. When he saw a Ming army general in front of him, he had no time to think and waved the long horse spear in his hand towards him and stabbed him.
As soon as Zhang Cheng knocked a flying ax away, he caught a glimpse of a cold light and stabbed him. He instinctively shifted his body weight to the left and stepped on the stirrup with his left foot to support the weight of his whole body.
Then his body tilted back and to the left, and he waved the three-eyed blunderbuss with his right hand, facing the cold light.
Everything only happened in an instant. Fortunately, Zhang Cheng's reaction was quick enough. Even so, his right arm was numb and numb from the shock. The three-eyed gun was already hit by the stabbing horse.
He was so knocked out that he took off his hands and flew out.
The two sides passed each other in this way, and the two armies and horses suffered casualties on each other, but Zhang Cheng's mind was on the entire battlefield. He had already seen from a distance that Jiang Mingwu's side was currently in an advantage and did not need support.
On Hu Dawei's side, they seemed to be evenly matched. On the surface, it seemed that the Ming army was superior, but in the battlefield, victory or defeat actually only happened in a split second.
Until the end, no one can say that they will definitely win!
Therefore, after Zhang Cheng and Hao Ge led less than 200 Qing troops to arrive by mistake, they went straight to the place where Hu Dawei and Lu Xiangsheng and others were fighting.
Dan Dai was already very anxious at this time. As a general who fought in hundreds of battles, he was not afraid of death. Even if he died in battle, the glory of his family would still be the same, and his children would still be the honor and favor.
But in the face of death, everyone will hesitate and struggle. It is one thing to not be afraid of death, and it is one thing to dare to face death, but it is another thing to have the courage to give up the hope of life and be willing to die.
At this moment, Dan Dai just wanted to escape, return to Hauge, return to the land of the Qing Dynasty, and stay away from these bright dogs who were not afraid of death.
He howled and clashed, and finally reunited his subordinates who had been separated by the Ming army, but they were surrounded again by the Ming army.
