Autumn of the 17th year of Chongzhen

Chapter 1019

The horse-rejection posts and antlers in front of the wall were removed by the soldiers, and wooden boards were laid on the trench. More than a dozen soldiers rushed to the wall and pushed the gate creaking open.

The gate of the village was only half opened, and it was not fully opened. Wang Deren, who looked anxious, clamped his horse's belly, and rushed out first, followed by more than a thousand cavalry, and rushed out of the gate with torches.

The cavalry beat their horses desperately, not afraid of the fear of the night at all, but marching in the dark was not easy.

Although the moon was shining in the sky, the cavalry also lit torches, but they galloped too fast, one cavalry didn't pay attention, and the horse neighed, and the cavalry and the horse fell forward together, and the knight was thrown far away, rolling A cloud of dust was splashed.

The horse neighed and struggled to stand up, but the knight who was thrown out did not move for a while.

Wang Deren turned a blind eye to this, raised his whip and lashed the horse's buttocks, desperately urging the horse to go fast, and the cavalry behind him did the same, none of them stopped to check the injuries of their companions.

The cavalry continued to gallop, and soon entered a bend. The two cavalry in front did not see the terrain clearly, and rushed out directly, crashing into a forest. The horse was immediately cut by branches and sharp thorns, and the cavalry was directly swept off by a branch. Hit the tree and passed out.

At the ravine, the Ming army was divided into two pieces. Wang Fuchen led 2000 men and was surrounded on the plain, while Li Dingguo was trapped in the ravine.

The [-] Ming army was divided and surrounded by the [-] Jin army. Wang Fuchen's situation was better because of his preparations and more troops, while Li Dingguo was more dangerous.

On the hill, Hu Guozhu reckoned that the main force of the Ming army would come over soon. He didn't have much time, and the Ming army was too tenacious to completely annihilate the Ming army, so he chose to focus on besieging Li Dingguo.

It is not a big deal to kill a few thousand more soldiers from the Ming army. It is normal for more than [-] soldiers to die in the battlefields of all dynasties in China. The situation is very different.

As Hu Guozhu's order was conveyed, Jin Jun focused on the valley, and Li Dingguo's pressure suddenly increased.

More and more golden soldiers gathered in the dark night. Li Dingguo swept down three golden soldiers with one shot. Before he had time to stab them to death, several sabers slashed at him again. With a push from above, the saber was swung away.

Several Jin soldiers lost their balance and staggered backwards. Yu Youming, who was beside Li Dingguo, jumped up and swept forward with the Yanling knife in his hand. Sparks splashed and separated Jin Bing's chest.

He stepped forward to give Li Dingguo a chance to breathe, but several long spears stabbed at him at the same time. Kneel down.

When several Qing soldiers saw him, they immediately rushed towards him with grim faces, wanting to kill the young general of the Ming army, but Li Dingguo rallied and stabbed the three of them instantly with a big gun in his hand, forcing the Jin soldiers to dare not step forward.

The battle in the ravine gradually became fierce. Standing on the hillside, Hu Guozhu, with the help of the torch set up by the Jin army below, saw a hundred households of the Ming army with a banner on his back, leading more than ten people, rushing forward desperately. There were arrow shafts stuck in his back, and his left hand was cut off, but he still screamed and charged until several long spears pierced his abdomen at the same time, and the saber was slowly released from his hand, lifeless...
"Concentrate the attack!" Seeing this scene, Hu Guozhu strengthened his determination to kill Li Dingguo, "Here's an order, whoever kills Li Dingguo will be rewarded with [-] silver and promoted to a higher rank!"

In the ravine, fewer and fewer flags can be seen, and every flag that is not among the Jin army can basically represent the destruction of a hundred-household team of the Ming army.

At this time, there were probably only a hundred or so Ming soldiers left in the valley, and Li Dingguo was so red-eyed that he stabbed to death countless people with the big gun in his hand.The Jin army attacked him openly and secretly, and they all greeted him. Even if there were guards desperately protecting him, it was dangerous and almost died several times.

The mysterious golden soldiers rushed towards him, and the soldiers fell down one by one. Li Dingguo still had no fear in his heart, but he was a little reconciled. He didn't want to die in the hands of unknown people. Swinging it like an overlord who has reached a dead end, all the Jin Jun who approached were stabbed to death, making the Jin Jun a little terrified.

The remaining dozens of remaining soldiers gathered around Li Dingguo. The Jin army surrounded the city in a circle. More than a thousand elite soldiers surrounded them. The Jin army had been suppressed by this tenacious army. The army is eager to try, but you look at me, I see you really no one really stepped forward.

For a while, Li Dingguo led his subordinates forward, and the Jin army in the outer circle retreated. As soon as he retreated, the Jin army rushed up again.

At this time, a group of more than a hundred people was rushing in, but it was Wang Fuchen who felt the pressure was relieved, knowing that the Jin army was attacking Li Dingguo, so he rushed into the ravine with his men desperately, trying to rescue Li Dingguo. Waving his saber, he shouted, "Captain, here I come!"

Hu Guozhu on the hill saw that Li Dingguo was about to die, but he didn't want such a change again. He said angrily: "How do you let them rush in? Hold it for me!"

The general next to him was about to deliver an order, but a soldier pointed to the distance and suddenly exclaimed: "Look, Commander!"

Hearing the words, Hu Guozhu looked in the direction the soldiers were pointing at, and saw not far away, a fiery snake moving rapidly. Behind the fire snake, farther away, a bright light was slowly moving forward, and his expression turned cold. , How did the Ming army come so fast?
"Hurry up and deal with Li Dingguo! Once the main force of the Ming army arrives, we will be in trouble!" Hu Guozhu drew out his sword and decided to go into battle himself.

The sound of killing in the ravine was loud, Wang Deren led more than 1000 cavalry, fell to death and injured more than 400 people along the way, and finally rushed out of the battlefield.

The dark night is not suitable for cavalry to gallop, but if you run with infantry, I am afraid that Li Dingguo will be finished by the time they arrive. Therefore, after discussing with Wang Deren, Ma Jinzhong and Wang Deren decided that Wang Deren would gather the elite cavalry of the two armies and set off first, and he would come later .

There are more than 6 Ming troops, and there are quite a few horses, but there are only about a thousand of them who can be called cavalry, and they are basically the personal soldiers of various generals, but even so, they still lost [-]% along the way.

Looking at the battlefield in front of him and hearing the shouts of killing all over the sky, Wang Deren raised the three-eyed blunderbuss in his hand and shouted hysterically without saying a word: "Cavalry, charge with me!"

More than 600 cavalry immediately rushed towards the Jin army who was attacking the Ming army, and the torch lit by the Jin army pointed out their target.

With a sound of "Chi", the cavalry in front lit the fuses of the three-eyed guns one after another, aiming at the Jin army who was hurriedly formed.

The sound of "bang bang bang" exploded continuously, and the three-eyed blunderbuss fired three blunderbusses in a very short period of time. What he shot was not a blunderbuss ball, but iron sand. His face was covered in pits, and there were bursts of severe pain coming from his body.

Night is inconvenient for the Ming army, and it is also inconvenient for the Jin army. Although Hu Guozhu judged from the moving speed of the Ming army that the fire snake in front is the Ming army cavalry, and the fire cloud behind is the Ming army infantry, he also ordered the soldiers to take precautions. It is also impossible for the Jin army to form a new formation at night, especially for the Jin army that has already fought with the Ming army.

The soldiers hurriedly organized by the Jin army were knocked down in groups. Wang Deren grabbed the three-eyed blunderbuss and led six hundred cavalry into the battlefield without hesitation. Going down, you can see the brains bursting, and the cavalry immediately rushed the golden soldiers to pieces.

The arrival of the cavalry shocked the morale of the trapped Ming army outside and stabilized the situation.

In the ravine, Hu Guozhu commanded the soldiers to besiege and kill Li Dingguo. The deputy general He Chengzhi suddenly rushed over to hold him back, and said anxiously: "Commander, the cavalry of the Ming army has arrived. The situation outside is in chaos. The pawns will be killed, and a [-]-strong army will be unable to leave!"

Hu Guozhu's face was troubled when he heard the words, he didn't dare to gallop like this at night, he didn't expect that the Ming army would send cavalry galloping over, so he miscalculated the time.

Hu Guozhu glanced at Li Dingguo who was about to be wiped out in the ravine, broke free from He Chengzhi, and said unwillingly, "At this time, you want me to withdraw?"

"Killing Li Dingguo and losing 1 horses is not worth it." He Chengzhi said anxiously: "Let's retreat, Commander! It's important for the brothers to return to Hanzhong safely!"

?? Hu Guozhu was not reconciled, how could he not eat the meat that was in his mouth, but at this moment, because the cavalry disturbed the Jin army outside, the pressure on the surrounded Ming army was lightened, and a thousand households led hundreds of soldiers , to kill into the ravine.

Hu Guozhu's face turned cold, and he suddenly ordered loudly, "Call a team of archers!"

He Chengzhi's face changed, "Marshal, there are my brothers below!"

Hu Guozhu gave him a hard look, and said angrily, "If you are told to go, you can go, why is there so much nonsense, it is worth it to exchange them for Li Dingguo!"

Time was urgent, He Chengzhi didn't dare to say more, immediately called a team of archers, ordered the soldiers to shoot down the arrows with all their strength, and shot the Ming army to death. The soldiers hesitated for a while, but the general reprimanded them angrily, and they could only obey.

????The archers of the Jin army were condescending, and the Ming army and the Jin army were huddled together below the ravine. Li Dingguo heard the movement outside the ravine, and knew that the reinforcements of the Ming army had arrived. Defensive.

As he was directing, the besieging golden army suddenly collapsed, and countless arrows flew towards him. He swung his gun to block and swayed away more than a dozen arrows, but at this moment, his figure suddenly trembled. The armor-piercing heavy arrow just hit his right chest. The arrow was so powerful that he fell to the ground in one blow. The surrounding soldiers immediately shouted in horror: "Captain! Commander!"

On the hillside, Hu Guozhu threw the strong bow, and immediately waved: "Withdraw!"
