Blood from Daming

Chapter 208 "Xue"
Sun Chengzong saw clearly the words on the banner, it was a big "Xue" character, and there were more and more characters on two sides, three sides, and ten sides. The civilian staff said: "Our Daming reinforcements have arrived."

Several civil servants were also very excited when they heard this, and those with good eyes looked in the direction Sun Chengzong pointed. As for those who broke their eyes from reading, they also stared at the south, probably looking for psychological comfort. , the civilian staff who could see shouted excitedly.

"Our reinforcements are coming" "We have won" "Long live the Ming Dynasty" "Long live the emperor"

Sun Chengzong also rubbed his eye sockets excitedly, and said to the excited subordinates around him: "Separate up and tell the officers and soldiers around you that our reinforcements from Ming Dynasty have arrived. If you persist a little longer, we will win."

Several civil servants immediately dispersed and ran around to deliver letters. After being excited, Sun Chengzong immediately found that half of the Tartar soldiers had been separated from Jianlu Shuotuo's inlaid red flag. Sun Chengzong saw that the team holding the "Xue" flag had all appeared In front of the world, there were only about 5000 horse infantry, and no trace of the Shanhaiguan Ming army was found. Sun Chengzong sighed secretly that this was another lone army.

The soldiers of the Ming army who were fighting at the most critical moment heard that a large number of reinforcements had arrived from the south, and everyone broke out with amazing fighting power. The soldiers of the Ming army not only stabilized their positions, but even launched some small-scale counterattacks in some places. The attacking Tartars were frustrated and the offensive eased.

Now Xue Polu's Ming reinforcements have attracted the attention of the entire battlefield. Everyone is paying attention to the 5000-man vs. 5000-man confrontation between Daming and Jianlu.

Sun Chengzong has always had a deep expectation for Xue Polu. This member of the big Minghu who he is optimistic about will not disappoint him. Xue Polu finally arrived at Hongluo Mountain overnight, which also made Sun Chengzong more satisfied with Xue Polu. Let's see if Xue Polu can defeat the 5000 troops in Jianzhou with red flags.

Xue Polu led his five thousand soldiers and horses and Shanhaiguan governor Yu Anxing to advance to Hongluo Mountain in the dark all night. People and horses kept falling down along the way. Fortunately, Xue Polu prepared a lot of ropes, and the horses and soldiers were connected with ropes. On the road, the soldiers pulled the ropes to move forward. Later, when some soldiers were sleepy, they pulled the ropes and walked while sleeping. The whole team only rested for half an hour before dawn, mainly to feed the horses with fodder and water. The soldiers also seized the time to eat and take a break.

Xue Polu and Yu Anxing hurried all the way and walked for two hours and finally arrived at Hongluo Mountain. When the brigade came to the edge of the battlefield, what Xue Polu and Yu Anxing showed was that the Ming army was blowing like a wind. Swinging the small boat that may come and go at any time, Xue Polu, Yu Anxing, Lu Yaojin, Zuo Ming, Yu Dahui, Li Bazong, Ma Bazong and others observed the entire battlefield situation between the Ming army and Jianlu , while waiting for the team behind to come forward as soon as possible to prepare for the battle.

Yu Anxing judged the balance of power between the enemy and us and said: "General Xue is in danger there, let's save Lord Sun first."

Xue Polu looked at the situation on the battlefield. The Ningyuan army had already retreated, and it might not be of much use for a while. The Ming army also appeared in the north, but it seemed that they were all small-scale troops. Obviously, Yuan Chonghuan and Ma Shilong did not appear. The small waves caused by his appearance have calmed down, probably because he saw that he didn't have many soldiers and horses, but a group of Tartars came to intercept him, and the other Tartars' attacks on Lord Sun Chengzong resumed.

Xue Polu sighed and said, "Master Yu, our Ming army is still too weak, so let's do what you want."

Xue Polu immediately turned around and said to Lu Yaojin, Zuo Ming, Yu Dahui, Li Bazong, Ma Bazong and other generals: "Everyone, as the old saying goes, there is no higher meritorious service than the Savior. Now, Mr. Jinglue is being surrounded by the Tartar army. The great man has made great achievements. Just today, I will be determined to defeat the enemy in front of me and join Mr. Sun, do you dare to fight?"

Lu Yaojin, Zuo Ming, Yu Dahui, Li Bazong, Ma Bazong and other generals said in unison: "We are willing to fight to the death."

Xue Polu said loudly: "Okay, when the two powerhouses meet, the brave one wins, and Lu wants gold."

Lu Yaojin quickly replied: "Yes"

Xue Polu: "Lead your troops and horses to attack the Jianlu with red flags who came to intercept them head-on, and you must open the way to meet Mr. Jinglue without stopping."

Lu Yaojin said loudly: "I promise to complete the task, brothers follow me." Lu Yaojin immediately led his team and set off.

Xue Polu: "Zuo Ming, your firearms and pikemen will follow up, and Zhang Sanzhu will protect you from the left and right. Let's go."

Zuo Ming and Zhang Sanzhu were ordered to leave, Xue Polu led his own barracks and 700 horsemen from Lord Yu Anxing followed behind the firearms and pikemen, and Yu Dahui, Li Bazong, and Ma Bazong's [-] cavalry were cut off from the rear.

Lu Yaojin's [-] elite cavalry opened the way ahead and marched towards the place where Lord Sun Chengzong was. The [-] Red Flag Tartar soldiers led by Mi Sai blocked Lu Yaojin's way first, and Mi Sai began to organize the soldiers in the traditional way They were ready to fight, but they didn't expect this Ming army to attack directly without stopping at all. Mi Sai was surprised when the Ming army was so powerful, and they didn't pay attention to our Houjin warriors.

Misai's anger rose, and he immediately ordered all Niulu to fight on the spot without forming an array. His opponents said that this Ming army did not need to keep prisoners, but Lu Yaojin also thought the same way, and ordered the soldiers that only the skulls of the Tartars are worth money. , Whoever catches the living will feed him himself, anyway, I, Lu Yaojin, don't raise animals.

Lu Yaojin's cavalry pierced the heart of the Tartar army like a sharp sword, and the red-flag-embellished Tartar soldiers rushed to fight before they had time to prepare for battle. It was laid out horizontally, and Lu Yaojin's soldiers and horses directly bumped into the thin formation of Tartar soldiers inlaid with red flags.

The Xue family army of Lu Yaojin and the red-flag Tartar soldiers led by Jin Misai first started the contest of bows and arrows. The Xue family army, which had an absolute superiority in local numbers, suffered a few casualties from the cavalry array of Misai. However, Misai's formation was broken in two like a dead snake.

Xue Polu's army quickly passed through Misai's defense line and continued to advance towards Lord Sun Chengzong's position. The dispirited Misai gathered his troops and chased Xue Polu tightly. Then he ran up to Xue Polu and said, "Second Uncle, those idiots are following closely, I want to tease him."

Xue Polu: "Xiao Ming, your firearms soldiers will be used soon, so don't make trouble."

Zuo Ming: "Second uncle, you can rest assured that the technical work will be handled by the blasting team."

Xue Polu: "Alright, hit the Tartars behind to prevent them from sticking like brown sugar. Go and get ready. I'll take someone to charge and chop off some of the Tartars' heads to see Mr. Jinglue. "

Lord Sun Chengzong has been watching the changes in the entire battle situation on the hillside. The appearance of Xue Polu's team only stopped Jianlu's offensive for a while, but the renewed attack was even more violent. Breaking through, there were nearly two hundred Tartars who were only fifty or sixty steps away from Sun Chengzong. Sun Chengzong once picked up the Shangfang sword bestowed by the emperor to prepare for suicide. The soldiers of the army arrived and wiped out all the Tazi soldiers who rushed in.

Man Gui led his soldiers to block the Tartars in the north, and the Ming troops in the east and south were forced to retreat. They established the last defensive barrier less than a hundred steps away from Lord Sun Chengzong. Master Sun Chengzong's position is no longer safe.

The western terrain that Mao Yuanyi was in charge of was more beneficial to the defenders. Relatively speaking, the west was the safest side of the Ming army. Mr. Sun Chengzong was dragged to the west by several civil servants for more than 20 steps. Everyone stopped after Sun Chengzong repeatedly objected. After coming down, Sun Chengzong was relieved that Xue Polu's team hardly stopped, and directly attacked the [-] Tartar cavalry who intercepted him. Sun Chengzong thought that there would be a big battle between the two armies, but Xue Polu's team was unexpectedly relaxed. The ground broke through.

Sun Chengzong was secretly surprised when he saw the attacking power of Xue Polu's troops. Just now he saw Xue Zong's army was neat and brave, and he looked at Xue Jiaerlang with admiration. The army is also extremely strong, facing the post-Golden Eight Banners powerhouse like Jianzhou Xianghong Banner, it is even majestic.

A sense of pride arose in Sun Chengzong's heart. With such powerful generals as Xue Polu, Man Gui, and Xue Zong, not to mention defending Liaodong, it is not impossible to defeat Jianlu. To the emperor's blessing.

When Sun Chengzong was feeling ups and downs and thoughts, there was a loud noise among the cavalry of the Golden Inlaid Red Banner Brigade chasing Xue Polu's army in the south. For a while, Sun Chengzong felt that the ground was shaking. Looking around, I saw a huge smoke rising from the Tazi army, covering one-third of the pursuers.

Almost at the same time as it exploded, Xue broke the "Xue" flag of the captive army and turned around and killed about 2000 cavalry. Corpses, the living ones were either bloody wounded, or scattered soldiers sitting in a daze or terrified and fleeing in all directions. When the steel knife of the Xue family army of the Ming Dynasty slashed at the necks of these Tartars, most of the Tartars had not exploded violently from there. Waking up in the sound.
