Dragon Soul in the late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 28 Bloody Battle at Bali Bridge

The strong wind blows up the gunpowder, and the horseshoes urge them to die. Facing the charging cavalry, Yu Song felt a sense of powerlessness in his heart. Seeing the sudden dispersal of the two teams, the two teams went upstream and downstream respectively, the trace of luck in his heart disappeared completely.

The officer's army rushed forward like a giant with mud feet. It looked tall and powerful, but it was full of flaws, but now it suddenly had two more feet, which made the giant with mud feet stand firmer and made up for the flaws.

"What should I do! Can I stop it?" Gao Qiang was flustered, grabbed Yu Song and asked eagerly, not to mention the ordinary soldiers on the bridge, who were in a state of confusion, and then looked at the two teams that suddenly separated Go upstream and downstream, this is two outflanking, we must cut off their back road!

From the moment the officers and soldiers started to charge, they had already decided to take down the Bali Bridge, but it was only a matter of time. Panic spread rapidly, and many red-clothed soldiers had already begun to look for the right time to escape, even in Zhuozhou City, Zhu Qian's most confidantes were also completely occupied by fear in their hearts, and resisting was tantamount to mantising a cart.

Without further ado, Yu Song pulled out the knife at his waist and turned around to leave. When Gao Qiang saw it, he became even more flustered, and hurriedly followed him, but he didn't know what to do.

Yu Song walked to the end of the Bali Bridge, and stood in the middle of the bridge without any shelter, holding a waist knife in one hand, looking at the people on the bridge with stern eyes, and said loudly: "Trust me, as long as we hold With this bridge, we can live, and reinforcements will arrive immediately, otherwise we will all die, and if I die, I will face forward, never backward."

After finishing speaking, Yu Song walked back in silence again, and walked back to the original place without turning his head again, only to let the people behind see a lonely back.

Quiet, the entire Bali Bridge is very quiet, there are only less than 2000 people here, how can they stop the officers and soldiers, more than ten days ago, they were just ordinary, law-abiding farmers or were bullied, but they dared not speak up The soldiers, if they were not pushed to the edge, how could they voluntarily join the Red Army.

"I have already rebelled, and there is no way out. The boss is a man. When he was an officer and soldier, he couldn't support himself. The child was starved to death, and his wife ran away with others. What extravagant hope is there? Isn't it just death? Let the living brothers continue to enjoy the blessings for us, and I can be regarded as a vigorous event..."

"How happy is life, what is the pain of death, we are all hard-working people, let the officers and soldiers see, we will not be bullied anymore..."

"Yes! If you don't ask for anything else, you will die at worst."

Although many people have a natural fear of death, Yu Song's subtle and silent way of moistening things seems to have a magical power, making everyone suppress their fear. Looking at his back, they couldn't help but uttered bold words .

Gao Qiang didn't say anything, but looked at Yu Song's back with complicated eyes, it seems that this black-faced evil spirit is not simple!Looking back in the direction of Tongzhou, he couldn't see the smoke, let alone the beacon, and walked back in silence.

Zhang Yan watched the officers and soldiers charge from a distance, but there was no movement on the Bali Bridge. It was too weird. These newly recruited soldiers can fight smoothly, but if they encounter setbacks, they will easily collapse. A strong uneasiness arose.

Although they are all women, the female guard at the side looked at Zhang Yan's sad face, and felt distressed deep in her heart. Such a woman should not have a sad face. She said with concern: "Your Majesty, don't worry. Although the red army has broken through Tongzhou, after all, the time for building the army is short. This battle will definitely be won."

Zhang Yan has always been strict and courteous, but she is not a rigid person. On the contrary, she is very friendly, and the care of her guards warms her heart. She didn't blame her for being rude. Gathering his mind, he quietly watched the upcoming battle.

Fan Yun, as a vanguard officer, gathered with the brigade and charged forward at the forefront. He had a strong expectation of making contributions, but he felt the silence on the Bali Bridge, but all this was not important to him. , 3 horses, the overall situation has been decided.

boom!boom!boom!On the Bali Bridge, the cannons and firecrackers blared together, iron pellets and arrows splashed everywhere, but the sound was so powerful, it was okay to scare people, but the accuracy was too poor, and when a fierce man like Fan Yun took the lead in charging Next, the officers and soldiers quickly approached the Bali Bridge.

Seeing that they were about to collide, Yu Song immediately shouted, "Don't panic! Put up your spear."

The red-clothed soldiers in the first row on the Bali Bridge took out their spears one after another. These were made of improvised bamboo and erected row by row, forming an uneven wall.

Relying on Fan Yun's strong control, the horse under him suddenly soared into the air, and he even got under the horse's belly, swung the lancet in his hand, and cut off the bamboo spear blocking the front, all at once. He rushed through the gap in the chariot formation, but the officers and soldiers behind him were not so good at equestrianism. Their flesh and blood collided together, and their bodies were stuck into a hornet's nest, and then they also smashed the chariot spear formation to pieces.

The two armies fought close to each other, and the red-clothed army relied on the cover of the chariot formation to deal with the officers and soldiers. However, the officers and soldiers charged too crazy, they could only move forward and not backward. If they were too slow, they would be squeezed to the ground and trampled to death What happened to Bolognese.

In the end, the chariot formation failed to deliver these crazy and involuntary charges. It was torn apart, and the bridge railing of the entire Bali Bridge was also washed away. There is quite a kind of madness until death, but the officers and soldiers can't help themselves, but the red-clothed army is struggling to support them.

At this time, Fan Yun had the majesty of an invincible tiger general. He was running around among the red-clothed army, and the knife in his hand had already been cut into sharp edges, but he was still in high spirits, as if he wanted to pierce through the entire red-clothed army. One person killed from West Bridge to East Bridge, and quickly returned.

In such a chaotic battle, the guns and cannons were completely useless, and Yu Song didn't expect to be able to play any role when the cavalry charged. With his back against the bridge railing and the overturned chariot formation, the knife in his hand danced vigorously, and suddenly a horse The horse rushed straight towards him, but he didn't panic at all, he just dodged slightly, avoiding it dangerously, but the knife slashed across the horse's leg, and the whole horse fell into the river together with the man, Yu Song turned around and let the stab come He punched out his long spear, and it hit the horse's neck like a heavy hammer, causing the whole horse to roll over to the ground.

This is the martial art that truly kills people on the battlefield, the fastest and most concise.

Gao Qiang was a little hysterical, with two long knives in his hands, he was dancing wildly, and he didn't know if he had cut anyone. Fortunately, he had many soldiers around him, so he was able to temporarily save his life.

On the Bali Bridge, the proportion of the red-clothed army is getting smaller and smaller. At the last moment of the bloody battle, none of the red-clothed army retreated. Achievement will lead to a retreat, but now the death toll of the Red Army has exceeded [-]%, but it is still stable, which makes Zhang Yan, who is watching the battle not far away, more and more uneasy.

"Haven't they found a place to cross the river yet?" Zhang Yan tugged on the reins tightly, and the pure white horse under him seemed to be psychic, and she also felt the uneasiness, snorting heavily, and the horse's hooves kept pawing moving the ground.

The female guard said softly: "The Empress, please be safe and don't be impatient. The two father-in-laws, Cao Fang, will never let the Empress down."

"I hope so!" This was said lightly, as if not so confident, Zhang Yan looked at the battlefield ponderously. The red-clothed army, this army appeared too suddenly, and it also rose too suddenly. In less than ten days, it now has such a kind of tenacity, and Jin Yiwei has not found this red-clothed army until now. Who is the leader of the boss, and what he is facing is like a fog.

The sound of rumbling horseshoes sounded from the back of the Bali Bridge. At this time, more than half of the 2000 red-clothed soldiers were dead, and there were less than 500 people left. They had almost retreated from the Bali Bridge, and Yu Song did what he said. There were more than a dozen injuries, large and small, all over his body. The most serious one was that a spear was pierced through his shoulder. He couldn't exert any strength for half of his body, and was slowly backed away by Gao Qiang.

Sitting on the horse, Fan Yun panted heavily, looking at the more than 500 wounded red-clothed soldiers, he couldn't help but feel admiration in his heart. Looking back at the officers and soldiers, he was not without sadness in his heart, they almost occupied the The weather is harmonious and the people are harmonious, but they are beaten by the red-clothed army who only occupy the geographical advantage.

Looking at the rumbling horseshoes in the distance, everyone was expecting whether it was the official army or the red-clothed army.

Gradually, it became clear that the army led by the eunuch Fang Zhenghua, although only 1, was the last straw that overwhelmed the red-clothed army.

Yu Song looked back at Fang Zhenghua's Central Army flag, which was three feet long and five feet wide, with black letters on a white background and a blue border. It was written to Fang Zhenghua, the commander in charge of the imperial order. In his opinion, it was so dazzling that his whole body suddenly relaxed. I don't know what to do.

Gao Qiang took Yu Song's arm and patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Whether you like me or not, the two of us, the two generals, will never leave the weight, the father will never leave the mother, and we will leave a strong legacy in the history books together." I just don’t know if those bastards who write history have any conscience.”

"Conscience, is it the conscience of a scholar?" Yu Song sneered. He is also a scholar, so he knows better that if these people with pens are shameless, they will be more ruthless than hooligans: "I never thought of leaving a name. Qing history or something, whatever they want to write! Probably no one will remember me."

"Then what do you want?" Gao Qiang looked at the officers and soldiers who were suddenly excited, and slammed Yu Song's head with the handle of a knife, knocking him unconscious. He walked from the river, what the lord needs more is a talent like him capable of writing and martial arts."

"Commander Gao, the Bali Bridge can't be defended anymore, it's useless, let's jump into the river together!" Immediately, a soldier urged eagerly.

"Let's all go! Who told me that I can only flatter with a smiley face. It is not a waste to lose me." Gao Qiang pushed the soldiers, and a large group of people were squeezed into the river. The red-clothed soldiers in front of Gao Qiang had been killed by the officers At the end, there are not many people left. Looking at the knight on the horse, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Actually, I want you to call me a general, but it's a pity! I can't see the day you promised, my lord."

"Kill!" Gao Qiang pointed out the long spear he had grabbed casually, closed his eyes and ran towards the horse without fear.
