"Sir, I have contacted Deputy Director Lu and the others. After Guo Zheng got the New Bailitong given to him by Lin Feng, he immediately started to contact Guan Neilu Xiangsheng Department.

"How's the intelligence?" Lin Feng asked.

"The city of Datong has been lost. Hong Chengchou brought the main force of the Ming army from Liaodong and colluded with the people in the city. Li, the prefect Li died in the line of duty." Guo Zheng reported very reluctantly.

"Ming Ting! If I don't avenge this revenge, I swear I won't be a human being!" Lin Feng said with wide eyes. Li Wanxiang has been optimistic about him since his rise. Not only did he fully support him, but he also married his only daughter Li Rushi. How could Lin Feng not anger.

After calming down for a while, Lin Feng then asked: "How are Deputy General Lu and the others doing?"

"The Manchus sent Kong Youde's 30,000 traitor troops and 17,000 Chahar Mongolian cavalry to attack Zhenchuan Fort. Deputy General Manager Lu arranged for Urentuya to lead the first cavalry division to fight the Mongolian cavalry. At the same time, he arranged for Commander Zhou to ambush from the flank, and immediately When the Mongolian cavalry was about to be defeated, Dorgon led 10,000 Manchurian Eight Banners soldiers to bypass Xuanfu and arrived. Our army's attack fell short.

In order to cover the retreat of the main force of the 4000st Cavalry Division, Urentuya took the initiative to lead the escort to cut off the rear. However, she was besieged by more than ten times the enemy and died heroically. Our st Cavalry Division and Datong Combat Division suffered about casualties, but the main force survived and annihilated about enemies. Seven thousand people. "Guo Zheng continued to report.

"Bang!" Lin Feng punched the table.

"Damn the Ming Dynasty, they must have colluded with the Mantars. The situation is critical now. We must immediately lead the entire army to attack the Mantar central army. We must break through the enemy army and join up with Deputy General Lu and the others.

Guo Zheng, you sent someone with a Baili Tong each to the Ordos Left Banner and Right Banner cavalry to deliver orders and strengthen battlefield coordination! At the same time, an order was given to the Governor of Guanneilu, asking them to concentrate their efforts on attacking the Tatars in Guanneilu and cover us in defeating the central Tatar army. " Lin Feng ordered.

"Yes!" Guo Zheng responded and immediately went to make arrangements.

Soon, the entire Guards Brigade was assembled, and all the officers and soldiers stood with their horses in hand, waiting for orders.

Lin Feng rode up to the front of the team and shouted to all the soldiers: "Soldiers, the evil imperial court shamelessly colluded with the Manchu Tatars who slaughtered countless Han people. They stabbed us in the back while we were fighting on the front line. They used despicable tactics to capture our Datong city and killed the unyielding Datong magistrate Li Wanxiang.

The Ming Dynasty also let go of the Xuanfu defense line and allowed the Tatar chief Dorgon to lead the Eight Banners troops to attack the rear side of our 1st Cavalry Division. In order to cover the retreat of the main force, Deputy Commander Urentuya took the initiative to stay behind and died heroically!
Her sacrifice embodies the spirit of our Zhenming Army to never abandon or give up. Her sacrifice is very glorious and more important than Mount Tai! Do we want to avenge her? "

"Revenge! Revenge!" Thousands of soldiers roared!

"Opposite us is Mantar's 30,000-strong Chinese army, blocking us from joining our brothers in the pass. Some people say that Mantar has many people and strong horses, and it looks very powerful! But I want to say that our Zhenming Army has been strong since the day it was formed. Since then, there has never been a moment when the less defeated the many and the weak defeated the strong!
What do we rely on? It depends on the courage to move forward! It depends on the sacrifice of life and death by the soldiers! Are we afraid of facing powerful enemies? Do you dare to fight? ? Lin Feng then asked angrily.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid!"

"Fight! Fight! Fight!"

All the soldiers of the Guards Brigade let out an overwhelming roar! All of a sudden, morale was raised to full!
"All soldiers, listen to the order and set off!" Lin Feng ordered.

On the north side of the Datong Pass Wall, the Manchu-Tatar Army.

"Your Majesty, the Ming court has sent Hong Chengchou to capture Datong City. Lin Feng's Zhenming Army can only stay near the small Hongyang Fort. It will be difficult to supply tens of thousands of people. As long as they are besieged for a few days, they may not be able to withstand it. "When Fan Wencheng got the good news, he naturally went to Huang Taiji to report it as soon as possible.

"Haha, Mingting is good at internal fighting. Dog bites dog. They are really good at it." Huang Taiji said happily sarcastically.

"Your Majesty, the combat effectiveness of the Zhenming Army is still very strong. In the first battle within the pass, our Qing Dynasty lost nearly 10,000 people. Although most of them were Mongolian tribesmen and people with Han banners, we cannot underestimate the enemy. Wei Chen It is recommended to besiege them first, and then launch a decisive battle when the Zhenming Army is tired and hungry." Fan Wencheng suggested.

"Will Hong Chengchou and others come to attack our Qing army?" Huang Taiji also worried that the Ming Dynasty would temporarily join forces to attack him, and then their troops would not be enough.

"Your Majesty, please rest assured. Hong Chengchou has captured Datong. This enmity is greater than that of our Qing Dynasty. It is absolutely impossible for them to join forces."

"Okay, then as you said, besiege them for a few days and inform Prince Rui that they are waiting for orders to launch an attack." Huang Taiji ordered.

The two discussed the next strategy for attacking Ming for a while, and a guard general knocked on the door and came in. He reported that the Zhenming Army in Guan Nei took the initiative to attack the Han army flag, and Kong Youde urgently asked for help.

"Fan Zhangjing, what do you think of this matter?" Huang Taiji did not forget to ask Fan Wencheng's opinion.

"Your Majesty, the Zhenming Army must be running out of food and grass and is preparing to take the initiative to attack and break out. It is suggested that our Chinese army also enter the pass to support and defeat the main force of the Zhenming Army in one fell swoop." Fan Wencheng offered advice.

"Okay, separate a group of 5,000 troops to guard against the Zhenming Army who is staying in the grassland to harass, and the rest of the main force of the Chinese army will enter the pass in two groups." Huang Taiji ordered. When Manta's Chinese army began to break out of camp and split into two groups to march toward the pass, Lin Feng arrived with his personal guard brigade.

Seeing the Tatar central army dividing its forces and heading south, Lin Feng knew that the attack by Lu Xiangsheng's troops in Guan Nei had indeed mobilized the Manchu Tatar army. They never dreamed that as soon as the troops in Guan Nei moved, Lin Feng from outside Guan Nei attacked without any delay.

The five thousand cavalry left by Huang Taiji immediately came to intercept them. They still habitually believed that the Guards Brigade was here to harass them, and they could just resist for a while.

But this time Lin Feng and the others came to fight for their lives. Lin Feng wore a stab-proof police vest and a chainmail armor. He held a rear-loading rifle in his hand, two pistols on his waist, and two horizontal knives prepared in the space. , prepare for a big fight.

At a distance of about a hundred meters, the Guards Brigade did not adopt the arc-skimming route used when executing harassment tactics. Instead, they rushed straight towards the Qing army, raised their guns and fired the first salvo.

The Qing cavalry responsible for the interception felt something was wrong at this time, and the team panicked slightly.

The Guards Brigade seized the opportunity and inserted into the ranks of the Qing army like a sharp blade. This time the Guards Brigade launched an all-out attack. Everyone was armed with breech-loading rifles, wore plate armor, and had sabers on their waists. Almost all of them were armed to the teeth.

A salvo of more than 3,000 rifles killed five or six hundred Qing cavalry at once. When the forwards engaged the enemy, the rear troops fired a second or even third round. From time to time, Tatar cavalry fell from their horses.

Lin Feng took the lead and rushed into the enemy's formation. Seeing that Lin Feng was only holding a rifle, a Tatar in white armor thought he had gotten an advantage and quickly rode up to prepare to cut him off.

Lin Feng waited for the Tatar Baijia to arrive, and suddenly took out the horizontal knife from the space. While he was stunned, he split it in half with one knife.

Such a bloody killing stunned the Tatars on the side. Lin Feng took the opportunity to use the cover of the guards on both sides, wielded his horizontal sword and fired his bow left and right, killing seven or eight Tatars in succession, causing them to retreat one after another.

Just when the Qing cavalry fell into chaos, the Ordos cavalry on both sides arrived almost at the same time under the accurate guidance of the walkie-talkie. The joining of two effective forces instantly overwhelmed the Qing cavalry responsible for the interception, and the retreat turned into a great escape.

Five thousand covered the defeat of the Qing army and immediately exposed the backs of the Tatar army that was entering the pass. Lin Feng randomly selected a Qing army from the right direction to pursue them, and at the same time asked Guo Zheng to order the cavalry from the Left and Right Banners of Ordos to follow.

The Manchu-Tatar Chinese Army on the right was led by Du Beiledu. He also participated in the invasion of the Central Plains last time and had seen the power of the Zhenming Army.

Seeing that the Zhenming Army defeated the 5,000 Qing troops who were intercepting it so quickly, I was so surprised that I couldn't close my mouth. When did the Ming army defeat a full 5,000 Qing cavalry in a field battle in just two quarters of an hour? This is not the Han military flag!
But no matter how surprised he was, he had to face reality. What was even more unfavorable was that the army was entering the pass. The pass area was relatively narrow and it was very difficult for the large group of people to change direction. Du Du could only dedicate two to three thousand men to intercept, and the large group of troops quickly entered the pass and waited until they reached the wide area of ​​​​the pass before starting the battle.

While Lin Feng pursued, he ordered Guo Zheng to use Bailitong to inform them of the direction of the attack, and asked Lu Xiangsheng in the pass to lead his troops to cooperate.

At this time, for the Zhenming Army and the Qing Army, the competition is all about time. It depends on whether the Qing Army can get rid of the pursuit first. After the main force enters the pass, it will set up a formation to surround and annihilate the Zhenming Army.

Or the Zhenming Army could quickly defeat the Qing troops and seize the Manta rear troops to follow them into the pass, leaving them no time to reorganize their formation to fight.

The combat formation of ancient armies was very important, especially at the narrow entrance of a pass. The troops leaving the pass could not form a formation and could only file out. If the enemy at the pass set up an encirclement and annihilation formation to fight, they would inevitably suffer a big loss.

So Lin Feng became ruthless and organized the Guards Brigade to charge forward regardless of casualties.

He himself has become the sharpest point on the tip of the assault knife. From a distance, he uses a breech-loading rifle, and when close to him, he fights with the sword. When he encounters a difficult enemy, he takes out his pistol and kills the enemy. Under the desperate cover of his personal guards, It can be said to be invincible and unstoppable.

In less than a quarter of an hour, the more than 2,000 Tatars in the rear were defeated again, and the dead bodies almost blocked the entry passage. The Guards Brigade also paid a heavy price in casualties. Even Lin Feng's left arm, which was not protected by the mail armor, was slashed with a knife. The wound was so deep that the bones were visible, and the blood dyed the armor red.

Lin Feng didn't have time to care about it. He led his guards to charge and fight hard, bit Du Du's rear army, and followed him into the pass.

Just after leaving the pass, Du Du prepared to mobilize his troops for a counterattack. The first cavalry division led by Lu Xiangsheng himself also arrived. The two powerful generals of the Zhenming Army once again joined forces to attack the Manchu and Tatar army fiercely.

When Du Du saw that it was impossible to annihilate Lin Feng's Guards Brigade, he immediately led his team to break away and retreat to the main force of the Qing army near Zhenchuan Fort.

Lin Feng's personal guard brigade had been fighting continuously for more than an hour, and their power was exhausted, so they gave up the pursuit and began to deploy the entire team.
