The 166th chapter decisive battle of Jingxiang (6)
The Qing soldiers and three groups of soldiers came to Changsha City first, and were still Wu Sangui's Han soldiers.
Lukedehn followed closely, and his men were wandering outside the Jingzhou front line, Wuchang and Yuezhou area. When they learned that the main force of the Ming army retreated, they stuck on them like dog skin plaster.
After Wu Sangui and Luke Dehun met, they were preparing to set up camp and advance to Changsha City. They also knew that Changsha was not easy to chew, and hundreds of thousands of troops guarding Changsha would not be able to be defeated for a while.
Wu Sangui and Luke Dehun were discussing the map in the central army's tent, and they heard the turbulent rebellion outside. Both of them had been through battle formations for a long time, and were not panicked. They looked at each other and came outside the tent together.
All the ropes were cut off from the suspension bridge in Changsha Mansion, and it fell down with a loud bang. Wu Sangui's eyes widened. He had fought for so many years and had never seen himself cut the suspension bridge. Then there was a louder sound. The city gate in Changsha was blown up by gunpowder, and the wood chips of the city gate flew everywhere. The free and easy way to spread the entire suburbs of Changsha. Before the siege began, the city was covered with holes.
"You Han people have a saying that it is to destroy the city walls by themselves. Could it be that someone in Changsha Prefecture is coming to surrender? Is this a gift to us?" Lukede said blankly.
Wu Sangui frowned, and suddenly felt a little panic. After a moment, he stamped his feet and said, "No! They want to counterattack!"
The generals didn't believe it. This was too shocking. No one could put a high city and a thick wall that would destroy the city walls.
Hou Xuanyan in the city drew his sword and shouted loudly: "The turtle who is afraid of death is thinking of hiding. Now that the suspension bridge is destroyed and the city wall is collapsed, the Qing soldiers cannot be killed, so they are killed by the Qing soldiers. Today, I am invincible, and there are no enemies. Kill one enemy and one or two bounty, kill ten enemies, and be promoted. Whoever kills Wu Sangui, will I be the Duke of Yue for him!"
In the smoke that had not yet dissipated, countless soldiers gushed out of the broken Changsha City. The retreat was broken and there was no other thought in his mind. These Ming soldiers also knew that Changsha City without the city gate would only die faster if they hid in. With the orders conveyed by the generals before the war, the reward system was clearly stated, and the wife and son were enfeoffed in this way.
There was no formation in this battle. Du Yinxi, Li Haoxian, Xia Wanchun, Zhang Huangyan, Gu Yanwu, Zheng Zunqian... Famous generals are like clouds and fierce generals are like rain, but they all gave up their strategies and followed the crowds and rushed out. Under the escort of their own soldiers, they went to fight to kill the enemy. The Xiangjiang River is full of mountains and monuments, and the artillery camps that had long been ambushed in the mountains and forests outside the city took away the disguise when they heard the sound. The order they received was to shoot out all the artillery shells in one day.
The Qing soldiers never expected that there would be artillery fire outside the city. The place where they camped was far enough from the city wall and it was already beyond the range of the artillery. If the Mingjun arranged the artillery outside the city, it would be a gift. But Hou Xuanyan obviously did not think about keeping a backup plan. He looked like he was desperate and didn't care about anything else. If he won, some were cannons. Even if you lost, you would keep it all, and it would be a wedding dress for others and give the Qing soldiers a free gift.
Wu Sangui shouted angrily and directed the generals to return to their posts and prepare to face the enemy. Luke Dehun reached out and pointed to Yuelu Mountain to the west and shouted: "The cannons were fired from where, who took the cannons that destroyed them?"
Wu Sangui grabbed a military general beside him who was about to turn over the horse and said, "Luan Ning, go!"
The military system was prevalent in the late Ming Dynasty. The military generals and soldiers under Wu Sangui were actually his servants and slaves. These people were loyal to Wu Sangui and were not afraid of death. Upon hearing this, he got on the horse and waved his hand, and thousands of elite cavalry followed him out of the camp and ran into the mountains.
Various traps had been placed on the mountain roads. These people rode horses into the mountains and were like falling into the traps. The horses and people fell into various traps. The sharpened bamboo pieces penetrated into the flesh and blood. They were almost dead without even seeing the shadow of the cannon. After more than a hundred people died, Luo Ning shouted loudly: "Drop off the horse and move forward carefully." The remaining people abandoned the war horses and walked carefully to the cannon.
The Ming soldiers who rushed out of the city first had reached the range of bows and arrows and shot arrows. After a rain of arrows, they threw the bow to the ground and pulled out the steel knife to rush towards the enemy formation.
The Qing soldiers were camping but were caught off guard and were in a hurry. They picked up their weapons to prepare to face the enemy.
Although the Qing soldiers were brave, they were beaten unexpectedly. In addition, the Ming army came up and acted like they were going to fight to the death. No matter how many battles Wu Sangui fought and how many military tactics he saw, he never expected that he would destroy the city wall by himself.
Although Luke Dehun was a Baylor, the Eight Banners soldiers at this time had not yet become a group of waste who were eating and waiting to die. They naturally had their ability to enter the Central Plains. Luke Dehun was not a playboy embroidered pillow. He lifted the reins and rode his horse, raised the scimitar in his hand and stretched it out into the sky, saying in Manchu: "There is no hunter who escapes prey, the warriors will not give up their hunting ground and go with me to slaughter all these Han sheep!"
All the Qing soldiers of Zhenghongqi disappeared in their eyes, and were replaced by cruelty, bloodthirsty, and greed. They both tied the reins, raised their swords, kicked and rushed towards the Ming army that was chasing over.
They rushed forward with a horse, and threw the javelins densely like rain curtains. The front of them was a long spear pierced through the chest, and blood flowed down the barrel of the gun. The eyes were filled with anger, and they widened their eyes and wanted to pull the gun out of their chest. Another feather arrow shot him into a hedgehog, and finally fell off his horse and raised a burst of dust.
Wu Sangui's breathing rapidly, his eyes flashed and dark, looking at the situation on the battlefield. The deputy general beside him was his confidant, and he pulled out his knife and said, "Prince, let's fight."
