During the heavy rain, in the wilderness twenty miles south of the imperial capital, the Ming and Qing armies were fighting in the mud. Without any tactics or tricks, the two armies were facing each other head-on.
Azig was absolutely confident that he could sweep away the Ming army with five thousand cavalry. Huang Degong, with his dignity and crotch stuff in his pants, determined to wash away his humiliation, fight for his reputation, fight for the Ming Dynasty, and vowed to fight for the Ming Dynasty.
Kill these Tatar soldiers.
Both armies were fierce and confident of victory. After giving an order, the Ming army struck first, raised their whips and waved their swords to kill, while the Qing army faced them head-on. In the blink of an eye, a melee broke out, and the sound of fighting between heaven and earth filled the thunderstorm.
The strength of the Qing army has always been strong and stable. The reputation of the Qing cavalry as invincible was not made by boasting, but by bloody battles one after another. Even though the heavy rain and the mud on the ground affected their combat effectiveness, their morale was not affected in any way.
On the contrary, it’s like a rainbow!
Azig, who was sitting in the formation, saw how ferocious his soldiers were. He couldn't help grinning and waving his whip in all directions, slaughtering all these Ming dogs... He really thought it was ridiculous that these Ming soldiers dared to confront him head-on. He really didn't know.
Life or death.
Hard, Tatar is really hard, just like my crotch... Oh, it's as hard as the steel whip in his hand. Huang Degong took the lead and led his soldiers into the enemy's formation. The steel whip in his hand was stained with blood.
Huang Degong is different from other generals. He likes to rush into battle to kill the enemy in person. He likes to watch the enemy's heads explode under the impact of the steel whip. He likes the pleasure of splitting the enemy in half with a knife. He also feels that he lives and dies with the soldiers.
That's what a general should do, otherwise he would be very different from the civil servants who spit in the court and the scholars who are inspiring the world in the wine shop. The reason why he and Chang Yu hit it off is because the little eunuch has the same bloody nature as him.
If he disagrees, he mounts his horse and kills the enemy himself.
The two sides fought a head-to-head fight. As soon as they got started, Huang Degong, who had more than ten years of battlefield fighting experience, felt the strength of the Qing army. The name of the Invincible Cavalry was not for nothing. He was a frontier soldier and had been promoted in his early years by accumulating merit in bloody battles with the Tatars.
Unexpectedly, more than ten years have passed in the blink of an eye. The Tatars are extremely brave, but the Ming army is getting worse day by day.
As long as I don't die for a day, how can I let the Tatars get what they want? Although the Qing army is powerful, Huang Degong is not afraid at all. He leads more than 10,000 elite cavalry under his command to fight hard. The two sides fight to the death in the heavy rain. The rain screen makes it difficult to see, and the eyes are red.
The two sides have long abandoned the so-called tactics and the so-called formations, and only focus on the enemy in front of them. Either I live or you die!
Azig was famous for his brutality and bloodthirsty, but he did not participate in this battle. It was not because he lacked the intention to kill, but it was because he was extremely disgusted by rainy days. The rain not only made him soaked, but also made him feel indescribably uncomfortable, so he had to sit in the formation and watch the battle.
I want this fighting to end soon and leave this hellish place.
However, gradually, Azig, who had originally looked extremely arrogant, began to change his color. His subordinates were as brave as before, and the morale of the Ming army was much higher than he expected. I don’t know when, the Ming army unexpectedly went out of control and deviated from the normal situation.
The inherent timidity in their impression gradually became hardened.
Of course, this is not the main reason for his discoloration, it is the weather!
The clouds are thick, the sky is frighteningly dark, the rain is pouring and the thunder is roaring. It is difficult to see the face of the opponent ten steps away. This kind of weather is really rare. How can we fight this battle! I am afraid that no one can be found even if we fight.
!
Almost at the same time, both Huang Degong and Azig realized one thing. God's will cannot be violated. This battle is too dangerous to fight. The situation of the battle is no longer determined by simple fighting and bravery, but by the weather.
If the whole army is accidentally wiped out, of course it depends on whose side God is on.
But neither of them wants to gamble! The hands of people who often kill people are too bloody, and they don’t believe that God will help them!
The two armies fought fiercely for less than half an hour. Finally, due to weather conditions, they retreated a few miles and waited briefly before withdrawing their troops directly back to the camp!
Although you are not victorious, you are not defeated either! If you are not defeated, you are victorious! After Huang Degong counted the casualties and the casualties were still within an acceptable range, he proudly boosted morale. The soldiers who were originally shocked by the power of the Qing army suddenly became heroic again after hearing this.
He returned to camp shouting a great victory, even though he was soaked and miserable.
On the other side, Azige and Kong Youde were also soaked in the water. Their morale was flat and they drove their horses north. They whispered side by side, which shocked the Ming army's morale.
"I'm afraid the weather is going to change!" Kong Youde wiped the rain off his face, and there was something in his words! Azig glanced at him and sneered: "It's raining heavily now, but what's wrong with it being cloudless if the sky changes?"
Kong Youde chuckled: "Of course that's good." But he secretly sighed in his heart, it might be sleet or hail...
Azig could naturally see through such perfunctory words and sneered that perhaps the Fourteenth Old Man had already broken through the capital of the Ming Dynasty at this time... Before he could finish his words, he saw a cavalry coming hurriedly: "Report, the regent has ordered us to return to the camp to rest quickly!
"
Azig was startled and asked hurriedly: "Have you ever captured the capital..." Kong Youde rolled his eyes inwardly, if he had captured the city, would he still need to let you go back to camp to rest? As expected, the ordering soldier said: "Never..."
Before he finished speaking, Azig whipped him off his horse.
There have been years of drought and little rain, and such a heavy rain is even more rare, or even unprecedented. Queen Zhou Yufeng of the Kunning Palace in the Forbidden City stood under the eaves and looked at the pouring rain outside. She wondered if there was a break on this day. How could it happen?
It rained so heavily all of a sudden, could it be possible... I suddenly panicked, and I couldn't help but shudder when I thought of something. Throughout the ages, any major event that happened in the world must have been an anomaly, could it be...
Thinking of this, her whole body trembled, and she quickly supported the pillar next to her. Seeing this, the palace maid thought that she was caught in the cold, and quickly advised her to go back to her room. Zhou Yufeng nodded, but for a moment she felt like there were nails under her feet, and she couldn't lift it up.
Panic-stricken and about to speak, a palace maid suddenly ran in despite the rain: "Queen, Queen, Eunuch Chang has beaten the Tatars away, Eunuch Chang has..."
Before she finished speaking, Zhou Yufeng collapsed to the ground. You must know that her heart had been in her throat since the early morning. She had almost collapsed the moment she heard that the Tatars broke into Guangqumen in the outer city.
, but she had no choice but to hold on alone, and could not even go to Emperor Chongzhen for comfort, because it was conceivable that the emperor was busier, flustered, and chaotic at this time, and had no time for the harem.
Although she was the master of the harem, she was still a female prostitute. After holding on for a long time and hearing the Tatars retreating, her heart relaxed and she could no longer hold on. She fainted and fell to the ground. The palace maid hurriedly carried her into the room and called for the imperial doctor.
At the same time, Emperor Chongzhen was also going through a world of ice and fire. When he heard the bad news about the Tatars breaking the city in Long Live Mountain, he really thought that he could not escape God's will after all, and the Ming Dynasty was about to end, but it was not like the prince's dream.
It's all in the hands of the thieves, but in the hands of the Tatars.
Seeing that the emperor seemed to have lost his soul, Wang Chengen shouted to the eunuchs to carry Emperor Chongzhen on their backs and start descending the mountain. However, Emperor Chongzhen finally regained his composure and struggled to go up the mountain again. Looking southeast from a high position, he could not see the distance.
It was too far away and the rain was heavy so I couldn't see clearly, so I ordered the cabinet ministers to go to the Huangji Palace to discuss matters, and also ordered the eunuchs to leave the palace to keep an eye on the movements in the outer city and report at any time. Then they rushed towards the Huangji Palace in a panic, even without caring.
My whole body was already soaked.
In the Huangji Hall, all the cabinet ministers hurriedly came to see him. They were panicked when they heard that the bold man had broken through the Guangqu Gate. They all whispered or comforted Emperor Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, don't panic. Eunuch Chang is sitting in the city and has his own countermeasures."
, Furthermore, if the outer city is destroyed, there is still an inner city that can be defended..."
While he was talking, a eunuch rushed over and reported to the emperor that the Tatars had withdrawn their troops and that all the Tatars in Guangqumen had been massacred...
Ah! Emperor Chongzhen stood up quickly, then sat down again and looked up at the top of the palace, gasping for air with a smile of relief on his face. It was a false alarm. It was so scary!
The ministers expressed joy, but Emperor Chongzhen turned a deaf ear: "It is said that Chang Yu has entered the palace!"
