Go back to the end of the Ming Dynasty to be a soldier

Chapter 84 Bloody Battle in Zunhua ([-])
When the third watch was approaching, Lin Yi and Xiaoying were woken up.The two packed their clothes and left the tent. 2000 Guanning iron cavalry have all assembled.

With the help of a crescent moon, more than 2000 horses and horses took a two-hour rest. They were like tigers, horses and dragons, and the soldiers were heavily armored and murderous.

Ji Dong set off with more than 2000 men and horses. As soon as Lin Yi's men walked out of the distance, they heard cannons and shouts in front of them.

Someone came to report that the Tartars had attacked the city on a large scale.

"Damn it, it's such a coincidence, that's good too, so I don't have to break into the camp and fuck him from behind!"

Ji Dong immediately adjusted his charge formation. There were more than 2000 horsemen, and there were also many firecrackers, bird blunderbusses, and three-eyed blunderbusses.Put these gunners at the forefront, this is the first echelon.The remaining troops are the second echelon, including Ji Dong's personal guards, and the second echelon closely follows the first echelon.

These 2 Tartars only focused on attacking the city ahead, never thinking that in the middle of the night, a deadly ghost came behind them.

As far as Ji Dong's men and horses were hundreds of meters behind them, they were still not alert.

"Fight!" Lin Yi swung his saber and squeezed out a word between his teeth.

"Come on! Kill! Kill these bastards..."

Ji Dong's order was infinitely magnified by the soldiers under him. Amidst the shouts that shook the sky, the guns of the first echelon fired.

"Papa, papa..." It exploded like a red firecracker.

Since the cannons of the Tartars had blasted open the two city gates at this time, and the cannons in red were silent, the movement of these guns became even louder.

Guan Ning's iron cavalry is well-trained, and these gunners move swiftly and aim accurately.As they charged on horseback, they aimed and shot.

The explosives were ignited, iron bullets, lead bullets, and stone bullets spewed out of the blunderbuss angrily, like raindrops, flying in the night sky. These round and hard guys, boosted by explosives, were invincible. Obstacles, aroused the blood mist, and ruthlessly got in.

The Tartars fell off their horses one after another. They didn't know what was going on, but they were suddenly attacked and there was a commotion.

After firing the cannons for a few minutes, the gunners galloped into the crowd of Tartars. They either had no time to reload or ran out of ammunition, so the cannon poles in their hands became their special weapons. Hit the Tartar's head.

Like an iron rod smashing a rotten egg, the heads of the Tartars burst into blossoms, and the viscous liquid splashed in the night sky, truly bloody.

Immediately following the gunner was the second echelon led by Lin Yi, and they ran over. More than 2000 Guanning cavalry rushed into the ranks of the Tartars.

The fighting power of Guan Ning's cavalry is not blown out, and with the help of more than 200 people like Lin Yi, more than 2000 people are like the tiger on the mountain, unstoppable.

The Tartars were caught off guard, and they were killed so that their corpses were scattered all over the field, blood flowed into rivers, and they were in a mess.

Although the Eight Banners of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties are powerful, this sudden attack is not enough. One is that the combat effectiveness of more than 200 people including two thousand Guanning cavalry and Lin Yi is too strong.The second reason is that the Tartars were suddenly attacked, and in the middle of the night, they didn't know how many reinforcements the Ming army had come, and the army's morale was scattered, and they were immediately defeated.Those who ran around and trampled on each other caused countless casualties.

Ji Dong and the others smashed the Tartars outside the city into pieces with just one charge.

But at this time the city was already broken, and there were tens of thousands of Tartars who rushed into the city, because the Ming army in the city was too small, and the bows and arrows, rolling logs, stones, bricks and tiles defending the city on the top of the city were quickly exhausted. Ammunition and food were exhausted, and thousands of flesh and blood bodies in the area could not stop the thousands of horses and horses of the Tartars. After a series of bloody fights, the Ming army in the city had lost its combat power.

There was a steady stream of Tartars, some of them poured in from the city gate, and some climbed up the top of the city to fight in, so there were tens of thousands of Tartars in the city.

Lin Yi was eager to save Lu Xiangsheng, and went to the place where there were many Tartars. Xiaoying, Erhu, He Tao, Wang Qi, Dongsheng, Gan Bao, Jiang Xingyuan and other guards rushed to kill.

The Governor was nowhere to be seen, and Lin Yi was very anxious. He led the guard of more than 200 people, and threw away the Ningyuan cavalry behind him. He went to the west city, and from the west city to the north city, he killed the three sects vigorously, but he didn't see the shadow of Mr. Zongdu.

There were corpses everywhere, and Ji Dong felt an ominous feeling. The midnight wind and cold at the end of autumn and early winter couldn't stop Lin Yi from sweating profusely.

The chaotic sound of horseshoes stepping on the bluestone slab made a clanging sound.

As soon as they turned a street, there was a sound of shouting and killing from a small alley in front of them, Ji Dong and the others rushed over following the sound...

A dark figure ran out of the alley, and the Tartars chased after him, firing arrows at random.

The shadow fell among the corpses.

"This kid is pretending to be dead. He just pretended to be dead. It's this kid, screw his head off!" a tartar was yelling.

Dozens of Tartars rushed up, came to the pile of dead people, and chopped at one person.

The golden wind howled, a sharp arrow pierced through the air, and a tartar who raised a steel knife fell in response.

The Tartars became alert and felt that there was a sneak attack behind them. Looking back, they saw a black horse team rushing towards them, surrounding them like a whirlwind.

The Tartars still wanted to resist, but Ji Dong flew up from his horse, and when he landed, he spun in the air, and the two Tartars fell into a pool of blood with their knives still on them.

There were two Tatars sneaking up on Ji Dong from behind, and Xiaoying killed one with a knife.Another Tartar had an iron pole on his head, staggered like he was drunk, and fell to the ground without saying a word.

Under the smashed helmet, blood and bonus brains flowed out.

There were Tartars about to attack Xiaoying, Lin Yi's saber flashed, and he moved forward and back, pointing east and west, like an elf in the night sky, flickering, wherever the figure passed, the blades whizzed, and the Tartars fell one after another. Ground Biao blood.

After the two tigers shot an arrow, they put away their bows and arrows, and replaced them with spears in their hands. Together with Wang Qi, He Tao, and Dong Sheng, they killed with all their strength. There were also Gan Bao and Jiang Xingyuan's shoulder poles and big shovels, and none came out. With the effort of foreign smoke, dozens of Tartars were all turned into corpses.

It was obvious that there had been a violent movement in this area, and the corpses were piled up layer by layer. At this time, a person stood up unsteadily in the pile of corpses.

Xiaoying, Erhu, He Tao, and Wang Qi were about to rush over when Soi Ying shouted: "Don't get me wrong, I'm one of my own, my lord, I'm Zhang Hua."

Seeing that it was indeed Zhang Hua limping over with a knife in hand, Zhang Hua also said, "People don't deserve to die, there is always someone to save them, see if you see it, I, Zhang Hua, survived a catastrophe, and there must be future blessings..."

Erhu spat at him disdainfully: "Bah, so it's you kid, you know I won't save you if you do this, let the tartars chop you up, and you still have the face to pretend to be dead and kneel down and beg for mercy, really? Embarrass the man!"

Zhang Hua became anxious when he heard what Erhu said, "You can't spit out ivory, what's the matter with pretending to be dead? If it wasn't for fulfilling the governor's order, if it wasn't for seeing Lord Lin, I would have fought them long ago. Am I, Zhang Hua, a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death!"

"Stop talking nonsense, where is the governor?" Lin Yi knew that they liked to talk nonsense all the time, so he came over to interrupt them.

"You commanded the battle in Nancheng, why didn't your lord see the governor?" Zhang Hua was stunned.

Lin Yi didn't say a word, he urged his horse to go to Nancheng, leaving Zhang Hua here, no one cares.

"Hey, wait for me...Sister Xiaoying..." Zhang Hua limped after him with a knife in his hand.

Xiaoying, Erhu, Wang Qi, Gan Bao, and Jiang Xingyuan ignored him. Only Dong Sheng slowed down the horse and let him mount it. The two of them straddled each other.

"Hello brother, if there is a woman in the future, I, Zhang Hua, will think of you first."

"If you dare to say one more word, will you believe me if I throw you down?" Dong Sheng turned his face into a tiger.

Zhang Hua didn't dare to speak.

When Lin Yi rushed to the South City Gate, there was no Tartar near the South City Gate, and the sound of killing was still fierce, but now he moved outside the city at unknown time.

Lin Yi didn't care too much, and ordered people to check the corpse near the south gate, and they called out while checking the corpse.

"Lord Governor?...Master Lu..."

The corpses of the Ming army pressed the corpses of the Tartars, and the corpses of the Tartars pressed the corpses of the Ming army.Ji Dong picked up the torch on the ground and turned over the corpses one by one.

"Your Excellency is here!" Someone yelled, and Lin Yi rushed over.

At the inner city wall at the gate of the city, next to the horse path of the upper city, there were several corpses, and they found Lu Xiangsheng here.

Lu Xiangsheng was covered in cuts and bruises, his hair was disheveled, and his face was covered with blood. Underneath were the dead bodies of five Tartars.

"Lord Governor, how are you? Lord Lu..." Lin Yi called repeatedly, but Lu Xiangsheng didn't respond at all.

Ji Dong touched his nose with his hand, and he was still breathing weakly.

"Quick, my lord is not dead, call the military doctor..."

A military doctor was called, and Ji Dong's guards were in charge of setting up a circle around the perimeter, holding up torches and lighting them up.

The military doctor checked Lu Xiangsheng's injuries. Lu Xiangsheng was hit with five arrows and eleven knives, but none of these injuries were fatal. Now he has lost a lot of blood and is in a coma, so the military doctor said that he is completely curable.

Lin Yi was overjoyed and ordered the military doctor to carry out immediate rescue...

After more than an hour of rescue, until dawn, Lu Xiangsheng who was on the collapsed bed really opened his eyes, and saw himself lying in the tent, which was still his barracks, recalling what happened yesterday, like a scene It was like a nightmare.

He wanted to sit up, but when he tried hard, his whole body hurt badly.

"My lord is awake. My lord is seriously injured. Don't move lightly. If you have anything to do, just tell me, and the villain will do it." Several officers hurried over.

"What's going on here? Why is the governor here? What happened to Zunhua City?" Lu asked three questions in a weak voice.

"My lord, the city of Zunhua is still in our hands, and the Tartars have retreated. The city was broken last night. Thanks to the rescue army led by General Lin who arrived in time, Lord Lin led the people to fight to the death and killed four gates. The Tartars were killed. I was beaten away, my lord, don’t worry about recuperating.”

Lu Xiangsheng nodded, "Where is Lin Yi?"

"Answering people, Master Lin is directing the cleaning of the battlefield, rescuing other wounded, and dealing with post-war affairs. We are going to congratulate Master Lin right now. Sir, please wait a moment."

A military medical officer said and ran out.

Before dawn, the Tartars all ran away.Instead of catching up, Ji Dong was busy dealing with the aftermath of the war.

Just after dawn, Zunhua was in a mess as if it had been washed by blood.There were corpses everywhere inside and outside the city, and some piled up so high that apart from the corpses, there were broken knives and broken flags, pipe walls and ruins, blood stained the water of the moat, and the moat had been filled with corpses.

After counting the number of people in this battle, the casualties of the more than 2000 people brought by Lin Yi were not serious. There were still 200 of his more than 200 guards, and 2000 Guanning cavalry, and more than 600 casualties.

Among the soldiers of the Ming army in the city, 109 survived, including those with missing arms and legs, and only 41 were able to fight. This is the survivor of 1000 troops from last night to now.

Lu Xiangsheng stationed 5000 people in Zunhua, and there are only so few left, which is really tragic.

However, after Ji Dong learned about the battle of Zunhua, he roughly estimated that the Tatars dropped at least 1 horses in Zunhua in the past few days. In the battle last night alone, the Tartars lost at least 4000 troops.

Now that Ji Dong has received reliable news, the tartars have completely withdrawn this time.

Hearing that Lu Xiangsheng had woken up, Lin Yi was very happy, and rushed to the governor's tent with Xiaoying and others.
