Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 254
Jin Yiwei Commander Wu Mengming couldn't help being frightened into a cold sweat at this time, and glanced anxiously outside, looking at the cold blade in front of his eyes, he smiled wryly: "Generals, please be calm, this commander is really not To deceive you all, if the commander really deceived you, why should the commander stay here, isn't it waiting for the generals to kill you?"

"Gao Zongbing, Liu Zongbing, put down your knives first, and calm down. I believe that Commander Wu will never lie to you about this matter. Since he said that there will be reinforcements from the imperial court, there will definitely be reinforcements coming." It’s just that,” Huguang Governor Du Yinxi couldn’t help stretching out his hands and pressing down.

While talking, Li Yan, governor of Huguang, turned his head to look at Du Yinxi, and interrupted Du Yinxi's words: "It's just nothing, but you can't guarantee when the imperial reinforcements will come. Li believes in you, and also in Commander Wu. The court will indeed send reinforcements, but whether the reinforcements come slowly or quickly, the results will be different. Obviously, the result of the former is that I wiped out all the captives. The army is annihilated here! The imperial court is reaping the benefits of the fisherman!"

Li Yan let out a loud roar, let out a long breath helplessly, and then smiled wryly: "It's a pity that Li still wanted to defend Wuchang to the death, and provided the court with a chance to severely damage the Azig Department of the Qing army, but now, it's down." Let the brothers fall into such a trap, I, Li, still haven't thought that Zhu Youjian is the most vicious emperor, what is the emperor's mind, Li has learned today!"

At this moment, Gao Yigong couldn't help saying: "Military division, tell me, did you kill them, or surrender to the Tartars!"

Li Yan turned around and glared at Gao Yigong: "Your Majesty died at the hands of the Tartars. The country's hatred and family feud are still there. Even if you die, you can't vote for the Tartars. Blocking Taiwan and Commander Wu are just obeying orders. Wrong Not with them, and it can be regarded as loyal, and they are still with us at this time, so there is no need to kill. Now, pass an order to the brothers, prepare to break through, fight out, and fight a bloody way! Since the court has abandoned us, then we will find a way out by ourselves. Everything depends on God's will!"

As Li Yan said, he drew out his sword first, while Gao Yigong and Liu Tichun also followed behind Li Yan, looking coldly at Aobai and other cavalry of the Qing army rushing towards this side.

"Kill it!"

However, at this moment, there was a shocking shout of killing from outside.

At this time, Oboi and other cavalry of the Qing army also reined in and stopped. Looking back, they saw cavalry of the Ming army charging forward, and the scale was not small, it looked like tens of thousands of cavalry.

Aobai hurriedly and decisively ordered to evacuate, and ran towards Azig's central army.

"The reinforcements are here!"

At this time, someone shouted, and all the extermination soldiers present stretched their necks and looked around. When they saw the flag of the Guards in Mingzi, they became excited on the spot, and their morale suddenly increased.

Seeing this, Li Yan immediately ordered: "Kill!"

In a moment, tens of thousands of guards regained their courage as if they had been beaten to death, and rushed towards the retreating cavalry of the Qing army in front of them.

Du Yinxi, governor of Huguang, couldn't help but glanced at Jinyiwei Commander Wu Mengming, and then fainted on the ground. Li Laiheng, who was unable to charge due to injury, quickly helped Du Yinxi: "Du Zhitai!"

Here, Azig slashed angrily on the shoulder of a rushing soldier of the Extermination Army, and then immediately rode back: "Withdraw!"

Azige was indeed very depressed at this time. He thought that before his squadron returned to the court, he could eat up the bandit army that belonged to Daming in Wuchang City, so that Daming would lose a strong army, and he even did not hesitate to defy Dorgon. According to the military order, all the red cannon shells were thrown at Wuchang City.

But Azig didn't expect that just when his cavalry of the Qing army was about to rush into the Huguang governor's office and had already divided and surrounded the extermination army, suddenly a wave of reinforcements from the Ming army came.

Azig was not really afraid of the Ming army's cavalry like tigers, but he didn't dare to lose all his [-] cavalry here, so when he saw the Ming army coming to help, he immediately withdrew from Wuchang City without thinking.

The Qing army retreated back to the camp north of Wuchang City like a tide, while the cavalry battalions of the corps of the Third Guards Army rushed into Wuchang City like a tide under the leadership of the general officer Liu Fangliang.

At the same time, the Duke of Yasukuni Huang Degong also rushed from the south with [-] cavalry. At that time, the total number of Ming army cavalry in Wuchang City reached [-] cavalry, which can be described as a large-scale cavalry regiment.

Azig immediately retreated with the Manchurian iron cavalry without any hesitation. He could already guess the Ming army's next plan at this moment, and he also thought that if he delayed for a moment, he would be surrounded by the Ming army.

In charge of breaking the rear is Wu Sangui's Guan Ning cavalry.

And Shang Kexi led the Qing army's Han and Mongolian Eight Banners troops to retreat and organize defenses, and acted as a shield to ensure that Azig withdrew to the north of the Yellow River.

Liu Fangliang and Huang Degong didn't stop to greet Li Yan and others. After each left half of their cavalry to guard Wuchang, they immediately led half of their cavalry to pursue them.

Huang Degong's cavalry collided with Wu Sangui's Guanning cavalry along the Maxi River in Xiaogan, and the two sides fought directly.

However, at this time, Wu Sangui had no intention of fighting either, and immediately ran towards Huangpi after two or three rounds of fighting with the cavalry of Huang Degong's tribe.

Huang Degong naturally chased after Wu Sangui all the way into Henan territory, but due to the heavy rain and the surge of mountain torrents, Wu Sangui who had just crossed the river escaped by luck.

On the other hand, Liu Fangliang fought with Shang Kexi's Eight Banners of Han and Mongolia.

However, what Liu Fangliang was smarter was that he knew that the order he had received was to inflict heavy damage on the Manchurian cavalry, so he left only one cavalry battalion to chase and wipe out Shang Kexi's troops, and took two cavalry battalions with a total of [-] cavalry towards Aji. [-] Manchurian cavalry were killed.

Along the banks of the Quanshui River in Chengtianfu, Azige's [-] Manchu cavalry were chased by Liu Fangliang's two cavalry battalions, and Azige had to order Zhangjing Ashan to lead a Niulu armored soldier to kill Liu Fangliang.

The armored soldiers led by Ah Shan consisted of one hundred white armored soldiers and two hundred red armored soldiers, both of which were the most powerful Batulu soldiers in the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

But at this time, Liu Fangliang did not have the slightest fear. Behind him were two Cavalry Battalions of the First Guards Army. They had just experienced a big battle with the Qing army on the ground in Huaiyang, and they won a complete victory. It is precisely because of their high morale when.

"kill!"

Liu Fangliang yelled, stabbed with a long spear, and immediately killed the general.

And the more than [-] guards cavalry behind him also killed like thunder, and came towards Ashanbu.

Ah Shan and other Manchurian armored soldiers immediately dispersed and circled around from the outside, while drawing bows and arrows to shoot at the Guards cavalry.

The cavalry of the guards fired in volley on the fast-running horses. At that time, arrows were dense like rain. Although some armored soldiers were wearing heavy armor, some fell to death due to arrows hit by their horses. The Zhentian Lei thrown by the guards immediately blew up everyone on the spot.
