Chapter 615 Songshan Breakthrough (Part 2)
Xu Liang set off his bow and shot out one arrow. The arrow with triangular head and exquisite arrowheads tore the air.
Mandahai swung his knife to knock down the arrows, but Xu Liang shot out a continuous pearl arrow. As soon as the arrow was shot out, the second arrow followed one after another. Mandahai, who could not dodge, was shot into his shoulder with an arrow. The powerful force penetrated his double thick armor, and the arrow pierced into his left shoulder, making Mandahai scream in pain.
The third arrow had already roared. Looking at the arrow flying towards him, Mandahai subconsciously lowered his head, and the arrow roared past his head. Before Mandahai could breathe, Xu Liang threw a javelin, penetrated Mandahai's thick armor, and nailed him to the ground.
"Okay! Kill two generals of Jiannu in a row!" Cao Bianjiao patted Xu Liang on the shoulder.
"Xu Yingxiong made an indelible contribution!" Hong Chengchou said.
"Now, it's nonsense to say credit! We must survive first!" Xu Liang said loudly.
Hong Chengchou ordered: "The spirit of Jiannu has been depressed, and our army breaks through!"
The Ming army broke out from the east and broke through the southeast. Originally, Hong Chengchou made a breakthrough plan to break through the southwest Ming, but was stopped by Xu Liang. He said that the Qing army set up an ambush circle in the southwest and waited for the Ming army to crash into the pocket. As long as the Ming army fell into the pocket, most of the losses would be lost. In the end, the Qing army pursued the Mongolian light cavalry along the way, covering the killing behind the back. Even one of the ten who could escape back to the Ming Dynasty could not do.
Therefore, Xu Liang asked the Ming army to break through from the east and break out of the city, and retreat to the southeast to the seaside.
The main force of the Qing army was besieging Jinzhou at this time, and there were only more than 10,000 people left in Songshan to siege Hong Chengchou. Just now, Dorgon was trapped and more than 3,000 Qing troops were lost in Songshan City. There were still 5,000 Mongolian light cavalry left ambushing halfway while the Ming army retreated in the southwest direction. There were only more than 2,000 Qing troops left outside the city.
Cao Bianjiao led more than a thousand elite Ming troops carefully selected by Hong Chengchou to break out in front, and Hong Chengchou and others personally led more than two thousand cavalry to follow closely. As for the remaining 3,000 old, weak and remnants, they were all left in Songshan City.
"Kill the slave!" Cao Bianjiao took the lead and led a thousand elite troops to the Qing army camp. These more than a thousand elite troops were drawn from the servants of each general, each of which was a veteran of a hundred battles and the most elite Ming cavalry.
"It's broken! I've been trapped! Mandahai and Tuger must be in danger!" Seeing a fire in Songshan City and seeing the Ming army break out of the city, Dorgon secretly complained in his heart.
"Mingdog is powerful, and our army cannot welcome its edge. We should avoid it for the time being. When the Mingdog rushed over, dispatch the Mongolian light cavalry to cover up the killing behind the back!" Tu Lai Xianjian said.
Dorgon nodded, and then asked the white armored soldiers to quickly inform the Mongolian Eight Banners cavalry who were originally ambushed in the southwest: "You go and report the message quickly, which means that the dog breaks through the southeast and let them come and chase!"
There were not many Qing soldiers blocking Cao Bianjiao, all of them were Aha and Han Eight Banners soldiers. At this time, the Ming army was in full swing, and Dorgon would not be willing to let the elite Manchu Eight Banners soldiers die in vain. His countermeasures were to use a small number of coats and Han Eight Banners to symbolically block the Ming army, and then let the Ming army go over, and he led the heavy cavalry to pursue. The light cavalry of the Korqin Meng Eight Banners was still twenty miles away, so it took time to dispatch it. The Qing army first chased the heavy cavalry of the Manchu Eight Banners, entangled the Ming army to prevent the Ming army from escaping. When the light cavalry of the Mongolian Eight Banners arrived, the Ming army would be unable to fly.
"Kill!" Cao Bianjiao roared angrily and pointed the spear in his hand forward.
Aha and the eight Han Banners soldiers who were blocking the road in front picked up their bird guns, and set off a gun for a while, and then spread out to both sides.
More than a dozen Ming cavalrymen were shot and dropped, and Cao Bianjiao was safe and sound. He led a thousand cavalry to cross the Qing army's defense line, and then scattered his wings to chase and kill the fleeing Aha and the Eight Banners soldiers of the Han Dynasty.
Two thousand cavalry led by Hong Chengchou followed behind and rushed through the Qing army's defense line.
"Previous!" Dorgon gave the order.
The white-armored heavy cavalry rushed out. They were the best heavy cavalry and infantry, and they could attack or dismount and fight in the field.
Hong Chengchou's central army was soon entangled by the Qing army's white armored soldiers. The white armored soldiers who rushed into the Ming army formation flew away a row of Ming cavalry behind. Then the white armored soldiers jumped off their horses and waved various weapons in their hands and rushed towards the Ming army.
"Supervisor quickly! The last one will be cut off the rear!" Deputy General Jiang Xin shouted.
Because the white-armored heavy cavalry had already entered the Ming army formation, they did not like to pull out the horse and turn around and form a cavalry formation to attack, because the horsepower was too great. If the white-armored soldiers wearing three thick armor turned around and rushed back, they could only rush once, and they would exhaust their horsepower at most. So after completing a rush, their favorite thing was to dismount the horse and stairs battle.
Jiang Xin, who was cut off from behind, took the lead and led 300 cavalry to rush towards the white-armored soldiers.
The white-armored soldiers pulled the bowstrings and a row of arrows shot out. At least one hundred Ming cavalry were shot down. Then the white-armored soldiers rushed forward on foot with super-long tiger spears of more than one meter long and rushed towards the Ming cavalry that rushed over. These white-armored soldiers did not know how to form long spear formations to resist the cavalry, but they knew that the spear was longer than the cavalry's weapons, so they rushed towards the cavalry instead.
Jiang Xin's three hundred cavalry had just been shot by a round of arrows by the white-armored soldiers, and the cone formation had lost its formation. The white-armored soldiers charged forward for a while, and the Ming cavalry were all dismounted one after another. A few Ming cavalry knocked away several white-armored soldiers, and then they were tied into meat skewers by the Qing soldiers.
Jiang Xin rushed to the forefront and rushed towards the shining armor wall without hesitation. Three white-armored soldiers were thrusting spears at him. He quickly used heavy guns to thrust into the shoulder of a white-armored soldier. Unexpectedly, the man threw down the weapon in his hand and hugged the spear head tightly with both hands.
Jiang Xin pulled back and didn't pull it.
Two white-armored soldiers stepped forward from the left and right, and one white-armored soldier dropped his tiger spear and swung his axe to slash.
Jiang Xin's spear was hugged by the white-armed soldier, so he had to throw it away and draw a knife to resist. The white-armed soldier's axe hit his knife, and Jiang Xin felt a numbness in his arms. Then another white-armed soldier hit him with a mace from behind and knocked Jiang Xin off the horse.
"General Jiang!" Hong Chengchou screamed sadly and shed tears.
"Supervisor, leave quickly! Otherwise General Jiang would be in vain!" The soldiers around him advised.
"Chasing!" Dorgon personally led the Alihachao camp to follow behind and chase him reluctantly. Along the way, the Ming army was constantly caught up by the Qing cavalry and chopped into meat paste.
"General Cao, the supervisor was entangled by Jiannu!" Someone reported to Cao Bianjiao.
"Let's go back to save the supervisor!" Cao Bianjiao shouted.
Xu Liang advised him bitterly: "General Cao, don't go to save him. If we turn back, once Jiannu Light Cavalry comes back, we will not be able to escape alone!"
"When the supervisor is in trouble, how can I ignore it! Brothers! Come with me to save the supervisor Hong!" Cao Bianjiao pushed Xu Liang away, and led the cavalry back and killed without hesitation.
Cao Bianjiao led more than a thousand elite cavalry of the Ming army and rushed towards the Qing army's Alihachao. At this time, the Qing army's cavalry was chasing Hong Chengchou and others. Unexpectedly, Cao Bianjiao's elite cavalry killed a retaliation, and countless Qing army cavalry were knocked off their horses.
"Gabushxian Chaoha Camp, go!" Dorgon roared.
The Qing army's Gabush Xian Chaoha riding heavy infantry dismounted one after another, formed a formation, and a long spear formed a long spear formation, and the spear head flashed with silver light pointed at the Ming cavalry. The archer behind the Gabush Xian Chaoha pulled the arrow and pointed the arrow at the sky.
"Kill!" Cao Bianjiao took the lead and rushed towards the Qing army with his cavalry. He placed his spear on the horse's back, took the bow and arrow from his back, pulled the bow string, and aimed the arrow at the Qing army formation in front.
The Qing army shot arrows, and rows of arrows flew into the sky, drawing an arc, and landed in the Ming cavalry formation. Only a row of screams were heard, and at least more than a hundred cavalry fell off their horses.
Although these servants had excellent armor protection, the arrows fired by the Qing army were fast and fierce, and they used huge armor-breaking arrows. Most of the Ming army were caught off guard after being shot.
The Ming cavalry rushed to the Qing army formation, but did not directly rush to the spear formation, but spread out to the two wings. The Ming cavalry took out the three-eyed guns and heard a row of roaring guns. The Kabush Xianchao soldiers in front of them screamed and fell down a large area.
Seeing Cao Bianjiao killing him back, Hong Chengchou was overjoyed: "General Cao is here to save us! Hurry out the siege!"
