The Soul of the Han Dynasty in the Late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 117
After many times of fighting side by side, more than [-] soldiers in the "Red Banner Army" are trustworthy.

Even if all the friendly troops are running away, such heroes as Hanzi, Yuan Siming, Yang Hanwei, Yang Danian, Huang Sifang, Liu Fenyong, Sang Yu, Pei Daneng, etc. will definitely accompany Huang Han to fight for their lives.

The final ending must be extremely miserable. The loyal and fearless warrior fell into the sand, and the weed that turned around and ran away when the situation was not good survived.

This is the root cause of the Ming army becoming weaker and weaker. The elites died in a series of defeats, and the naughty villains slipped away. The quality of such an army naturally deteriorated.

Wakda was eagerly waiting for the Ming army to appear on his hypothetical battlefield. Unexpectedly, the Ming army still only competed for the surrounding control area, but pushed the dividing line to the east by more than ten miles, and did not enter Santunying City [-] at all. within ten miles.

Wakda was really not interested in expending too many armored men to compete with the Ming army for the control area. He simply took back the outer sentinel horses, and just kept the [-] miles west of the Santunying city without a break.

At this moment, he only thought about not losing Santun Yingcheng, and only thought about being able to transport the looted materials back safely.

His limited troops were used to ensure the smooth passage from Santun Yingcheng to Longjingguan, so he must not be attacked by the elusive "Red Banner Army" again, otherwise he will not escape the blame.

Due to the frequent activities of the Ming army, Wakda was worried that the "Red Banner Army" would repeat the old tricks.

Although the manpower was insufficient, he still gritted his teeth and sent a high-ranking Niuluhui and two Tartar centurions to garrison Pisces Village. Wakda, who was not very well-off in terms of troops, did not take the initiative to attack the extremely active Ming army. Cavalry intentions.

In the early morning of March [-], the more than [-] Ming troops who had gotten used to getting up early to go to armed parades still left the east gate of Zunhua and jogged eastward.

After a few days of training, the coordination of the troops of each battalion has really improved a lot. The cavalry of the Ming army has resigned to their fate and is very well-behaved.

After running for fifty miles, everyone thought that they should turn to the north, Huang Han issued an order to increase the speed of the whole army from jogging to trotting, and continue to move forward.

After another [-] miles, Huang Han delivered the order again, and the whole army began to speed up the raid, and the target was Luojiazhai, [-] miles away.

At this time, unless it is a fool, everyone understands that this is not a drill but a real effort. They all feel the beauty of the general's use of troops and are more confident. As a result, more than [-] riders are aggressive. Kill to the east.

It is impossible not to meet the Hou Jin army on the road, but the Ming army is so powerful that the small looting team of the Hou Jin army did not have the guts to attack such a huge Ming army cavalry group, and they all fled early.

The men and horses of the Ming army could not ride on two horses, and the more than [-] knights of the "Red Banner Army" led by Huang Han were all on two horses, and they did not hesitate to run in front at this time.

The power of role models is infinite. Seeing that the "Red Banner Army" marched forward bravely, the vast majority of the Ming army were unwilling to lag behind, and all of them showed their best performance to catch up.

Wu Zimian was finally impressed. He caught up with Ma Shilong and shouted: "Ma Jinglue, you are awesome! We are behind the times. Look at the 'Red Banner Army'. People are like dragons and horses like tigers!"

"If that's the case, it can be seen that our army will surely win this battle. I am so lucky to have such a good general!"

The soldiers of the 'Red Banner Army' in the law enforcement team are still sparing no effort to promote. They shouted: "Brothers, hurry up and run forward! The arrival time is faster, and the casualties will be reduced by one point. The most terrible thing in a surprise attack is the lightning speed!"

"Brothers, run quickly, the Jiannu and Tartars in Luojiazhai will be caught off guard! Go, go, go!"

Enthusiastic, Wu Zimian yelled out the voice of the male duck: "Yan Sui men, Qin land sons, when will we fall behind? Follow me to catch up with the 'Red Banner Army' and kill the Tartars first." !"

All of a sudden, there were shouts in the army, all cheering each other without exception. Everyone knew that the attack was about to take place, and the speed of horses was not needed to attack the city.

The Hou Jin army did not dare to attack the outnumbered Ming army cavalry, and the "Red Banner Army" did not chase and kill the Hou Jin army who had fled.

At about two o'clock in the afternoon, the "Red Banner Army" rushed to the west city of Luojiazhai.

Seeing the attack of the Ming army, there were a few Houjin troops who went out to loot along the way and fled to Luojiazhai, just like the "Red Banner Army".

When Huang Han led his subordinates to the city, Luojiazhai had just closed the city gate, and there were many post-Golden troops at the top of the city, and they were preparing supplies for the city defense in a chaotic manner.

This time the surprise effect was really achieved, because after learning that thousands of Ming troops were rushing to attack, several waves of slave-building sentries all galloped towards Luojiazhai with the intention of informing the guards to prepare early.

It's a pity that the knights of the "Red Banner Army" were also one-man and two-horse changing all the way and galloping all the way. Their forward speed was almost the same as that of Jiannu sentry horses.

Therefore, when they arrived at Luojiazhai, the defenders who were caught off guard panicked, and the slave master general had not even had time to appear at the top of the city.

The "Red Banner Army" came prepared, and there was a plan for how to break through the city. All the general banners were in their positions, and arrows rained down in an instant, mixed with the crisp sound of blunderbusses.

When the "Red Banner Army" launched its attack, cavalrymen rushed to join the battlefield to suppress the Jin army behind the city with cavalry and shooting. Suddenly, the Ming army attacking the city retreated like a tide.

Just when the Jin army behind the city looked puzzled and confused, there was an earth-shattering explosion that shook the mountains.

Huge smoke and dust rose from the west gate of Luojiazhai, and the city gate hole was blown down. Many Hou Jin soldiers on the city wall were killed and injured, and those who survived by luck were disheartened.

Ma Shilong and Wu Zimian, who had just arrived, were so surprised that they couldn't close their mouths from ear to ear. Damn, the speed of breaking the city is too fast, no wonder the "Red Banner Army" is so awesome.

They suddenly realized that the great achievements were within their reach, and shouted excitedly: "Boys, the opportunity to make contributions has come, follow me!"

This big explosion could be heard in a radius of ten miles. The Ming army who fell behind realized that there was a fight ahead, and everyone stepped up their horses.

The Ming army who had already arrived at Luojiazhai saw the collapse of the city gate and shouted: "Kill the slaves and go forward!" One by one, they rushed into the city and killed them.

The Ming army who followed behind shouted loudly: "Brothers, hurry up, the city is broken! If you go late, I may not be able to get the beheading!"

The Ming army who was still behind heard the news and ran even more desperately, for fear of losing the best opportunity to fight the military merits at their fingertips.

The generals of the Eighth Battalion also ran at full speed for more than half an hour. Seeing that all the cavalry did not need to supervise the battle, everyone was brave and took the lead. They realized that a great victory in this battle was inevitable, and everyone strived to set an example.
