Chapter 55
Chapter 54: Killed In Action
As expected, the Ming army laid an ambush on the surrounding hills. First, a group of Ming troops rushed out from a hill on the left, and then a group of Ming troops rushed out from the hill on the right. Followed by the brigade of the Ming army, who was the leader who was not Zhou Shixiang, who was riding a big blue horse.
There were several teams of Ming troops rushing out from the front and back. Looking around, it was impossible to tell how many Ming troops there were. All I could hear was the screams of killing all around. There were still many flags of the Ming army waving on the mountain, and the drums of war were constantly approaching. , as if there were thousands of troops rushing towards him.
The Green Battalion soldiers, who were still picking up pieces of silver and copper, were stunned by the sudden change. They were only stunned for a moment. Without anyone to take the lead, the Green Battalion soldiers shouted and retreated. Still holding a copper.
The Ming army ambush that rushed out made Zhang Dade feel ashamed of being humiliated: Shao Jiugong, that bastard, really regarded himself as a pig!
The horses under the crotch couldn’t help pouting in shock, and all the armored personal soldiers were also pale, looking at the guards at a loss.
“Stop them, stop them!”
Seeing that the situation was not good, Tang Sanshui waved his knife and asked a few of his own soldiers to stop the fleeing soldiers, but those deserters were so frightened that they would not stop. Even if there are daring ones, they can’t figure out the situation, so they can only run with the brigade.
The road leading to Xihedu is not wide. Just now, they fought bravely to catch up with the Ming army. The soldiers of the Green Battalion were in high spirits. They only had military achievements in their eyes. How could they care whether it was a good way to go or not? , If you want to run first, he also wants to run first, but the crowds in front and back crowded the road.
Zhang Dade saw that he couldn’t stop those deserters, and the road was too crowded. He couldn’t help but think of the two tragedies that year.
“Let’s go, my lord, and protect my lord!”
Tang Sanshui was loyal to the Lord. Seeing that the guard was in a daze on the horse, he quickly grabbed the reins of the guard’s mount, and ran back.
Seeing this, dozens of armored personal soldiers quickly followed, but they had run for a few miles just now, and they were wearing armor again. There was no strength in their legs and feet.
This is the case with the most valiant personal soldiers, and the unarmored soldiers who escaped are even worse. The Ming army has long been ambushed here, waiting for work, and bluffing, only to make them panic, as if the end is coming.
The situation was one-sided, most of the green battalion soldiers had no strength to run, there was no general commander, and the road ahead was blocked.
The Ming army, who was still a little uneasy and frightened at first, saw the Green Battalion soldiers kneeling and surrendering, and all of them had their confidence greatly increased, and they rushed forward with joy.
Zhou Shixiang was also very excited. After slashing to death the three Qing soldiers who wanted to resist, he shouted: “Whoever surrenders will not die, whoever surrenders will not die!”
“Whoever descends shall not die, whoever descends shall not die!”
The rest of the Ming army also followed suit and shouted, and suddenly dozens of Green Battalion soldiers knelt down and surrendered.
Seeing that the Ming army really did not kill those comrades who were kneeling and surrendering, the remaining Green Battalion soldiers suddenly lost their fighting spirit. Except for the dozens of people who ran at the forefront, most of the rest threw their weapons and begged to surrender.
“Keep up, keep the adults and rush out!”
Tang Sanshui saw that most of the soldiers of the Green Battalion had surrendered, and knew that the situation was over. Seeing that the Ming army was already rushing towards this side, and Zhang Dade’s horse was not able to run well, he dragged him off the horse in a panic, and then dragged him forward desperately. run.
“Catch the high officials of Tartars, catch the high officials of Tartars!”
Ge Wu saw two generals of the Qing army who looked like officers were running out with dozens of soldiers, eager to make contributions, and rushed forward with his soldiers.
“Stop them, stop them!”
After Tang Sanshui noticed that the Ming army was rushing towards him, he hurriedly ordered the guards behind him to turn back to block them. Although those guards were exhausted, they still followed the order subconsciously. Originally they had the idea of giving themselves up as the master, wait and see. After only a few dozen unarmored Ming troops rushed over, these personal soldiers immediately gave birth to the will to survive, roaring and waving their swords to meet them.
Ge Wu’s team are all new recruits, they have no armor, and they have not even killed anyone. How can they withstand the green battalion’s attack of the Jedi’s counterattack. As soon as they fought, they fell over a dozen soldiers. The rest of the Ming army did not expect this. The green battalion soldiers were so fierce that they all flinched in fright and did not dare to go forward.
“The thief is timid!”
When a soldier saw that the Ming army was so unbearable, his courage returned to his heart, and he shouted at his companion: “They are all soldiers without armor. If you are afraid, come with me!”
Zhang Dade and Tang Sanshui also noticed the change in the situation behind, and when they saw that the Ming army actually retreated, they couldn’t help but stop, showing a puzzled look.
“No retreat, no retreat!”
The situation changed abruptly. Ge Wu’s team could not stop the more than 20 armored Qing soldiers, and could not stop back back. When retreating, he was almost stabbed by an armored soldier, and he didn’t dare to resist in panic.
The Green Battalion soldiers kneeling on the ground saw that the Ming army was actually retreating, and all of them raised their heads and opened their mouths in disbelief. Gradually, some Green Battalion soldiers began to pick up the knives and guns that had been thrown on the ground, and the situation became more subtle.
Zhou Shixiang also noticed the previous changes. Seeing that Ge Wu couldn’t help but retreat, he was angry and anxious. He was afraid that the situation would turn around and his success would fall short. The green battalion soldier, Daqing Ma was unable to move an inch, so he had to jump off his horse and raised his hand towards Shao Jiugong, signaling him to bring Jiangxi soldiers to the front to help.
When Shao Jiugong saw the Qing soldiers counterattack in front, he was stunned, and rushed over with the exhausted Jiangxi soldiers without saying a word.
Zhou Shixiang led a dozen soldiers over the kneeling Qing army prisoners and climbed to the side of the hillside. In sight, he saw dozens of figures on the left hillside rushing forward, but it was the bald team of soldiers, rushing in The one in front is not the one-armed boss Hu.
“Brothers, kill the Tartars!”
Hu Quan took the lead, a knife with a ring head splashed under his one arm, and the two armored Qing soldiers were thrown to the ground in one fell swoop.
The main general fought bravely, and the morale of the Ming army was also revived.
The bald man and several corps leaders in the team knew that the armored soldiers of the green battalion could not be brought back. The counterattack of the armored soldiers was suppressed.
However, although they were suppressed, the Ming army did not gain the upper hand for a while. Although the number was much larger than that of the Qing army, they could not be completely eliminated. In the constant fighting, the Ming army fell far more than the Qing army. If it weren’t for the lack of strength of those armored soldiers, I’m afraid the situation would really change.
Tang Sanshui saw that the Ming army was pressing up again, and the people behind didn’t seem to be able to last long, so UU reading www.uukanshu.com dragged Zhang Dade and said, “Sir, the thieves are too fierce, let’s go quickly!”
However, Zhang Dade violently broke free from Tang Sanshui, and shouted at the remaining soldiers with red eyes: “Send the arrows, shoot the one-armed thief to death for me!”
Several personal soldiers with long bows heard the words and hurriedly took off the long bows from their backs and shot them with arrows, but they only hit three Ming soldiers, not the one-armed Ming general.
“Trash, give me the bow!”
Zhang Dade hated that iron could not be made of steel. He grabbed the longbow of the soldiers on the side, then put the arrow on the string, squinted slightly, and pulled the string up with two fingers. The arrow flew towards the one-armed Boss Hu with full force.
“Brother be careful!”
The bald man, who noticed the Qing army’s secret arrow wounded, exclaimed.
“what?”
Hu Boss, who was entangled with the two armored soldiers in front of him, just waved the knife, turned his head to look in confusion, and before the knife in his hand fell, a sharp arrow shot at his chest. Enter the meat.
“Dog Tartar!”
Boss Hu groaned, the pain in his heart made him unsteady, his body staggered, and one fell backwards.
“go to hell!”
When the two armored Qing soldiers saw this, they raised their swords and slashed at the neck of Boss Hu in ecstasy.
“you!”
As the knife fell from his hand, Boss Hu’s neck was gushing with blood, and foam kept coming out of his mouth, but he murmured, “Mother…Mother…”
