Chapter 82: The Dog Tartar is nothing more than that
Li Guo immediately stepped in front of the holy cavalry. He hung his spear on the saddle bridge, held a small command flag in his right hand, and followed the direction of the summer wind to calmly observe the entire battle situation.
The furious and ferocious shouts of killing shook the entire Huolu battlefield. Zhang Nai and Zhang Pi's cavalry seemed to be overwhelming and overwhelmed the troops of Xushun Gong Shen Zhixiang, and then broke into Duoduo's battle line, continuously destroying the Qing army.
Several lines of defense launched a fierce battle with Prince Yu of the Qing Dynasty.
The center of the battlefield sometimes moved to the east and sometimes to the west, all of which appeared in the eyes of Jinghou Li Guo.
Because Mianhou Yuan Zongdi still led the right battalion to garrison in northern Shaanxi, Li Laiheng's front battalion and Liu Fangliang's left battalion were not near Huolu, so the rear battalion under Li Guo's control became the only direct line of the Dashun Army except Li Zicheng.
The most powerful force outside the camp.
Jinghou stood motionless, like a majestic mountain.
The guards' horses jumped and galloped behind Li Guo, neighing as if they wanted to rush forward immediately to support Zhang Nai in killing the enemy.
But Li Guo's face was always solemn and solemn. He stared unmoving, and the strong wind blew the yellow military flag of the rear camp, fluttering beside Li Guo.
The rear camp was on the Huolu battlefield, with approximately 20,000 to 30,000 troops, most of whom were infantry.
The yellow cover of Li Zicheng's imperial camp was flying behind them, and the long and continuous military momentum of the Dashun Army continued to appear above the horizon. Smoke and dust were billowing, and the yellow umbrella of Emperor Yongchang stood tall.
The attack was launched so suddenly and violently.
Even the calm Yu Wang Duduo in the Qing army was surprised. Many Mongolian cavalry were shocked by the counterattack from the rear camp. They temporarily lost the support of their horses, covered their heads and turned around, panicking.
But after all, Duduo was a veteran general and famous king in the Qing army. He laughed a few times and sent Turge to lead the Baya Lajia Cavalry to block the east and west. After highlighting the Qing army's front line, he quickly caught up with Zhang Nai.
The Shunjun cavalry troops who broke out of the encirclement were determined to pursue and kill them.
Duduo, who commanded the elite Eight Banners Army of Manchuria and Mongolia in the Chinese Army, was very clear-headed. He quickly saw clearly the changed situation between the enemy and ourselves - Li Guo was bringing troops from the rear battalion to reinforce the front line, and the scale of the battle was expanding rapidly.
The Qing army's sudden cavalry pursuit went too deep, and the Dashun army's infantry showed a tenacity that surpassed that of the first-rate Ming army. If the pursuit continued, the Qing army's formation was likely to be "dragged" and scattered, and it would be fiercely attacked by the Shun army.
However, the main force of Li Zicheng's imperial camp had not yet attacked, and Huang Umbrella had not moved. Duduo estimated that not all the main force of the Dashun Army had fallen, so he did not dare to rush forward with an all-out attack.
Duduo laughed secretly in his heart: After all, Chuang Rebellion is just a bandit, without any knowledge of strategy. He has fallen into Huang Taiji's plan without knowing it. Do we need to think too much about the final victory?
"Turg, hold the line!"
Turg had already assembled his Bajala cavalry, and wanted to lead this group of elite Manchu cavalry to launch a counterattack against the Suwei cavalry of the Dashun Army. They brandished their steel knives and roared while charging forward, but they were still
Before achieving much success, Duduo stopped it.
Li Guo silently measured the distance between the captive cavalry and Zhang Nai, and then visually inspected and calculated the speed of the rear battalion's infantry as they slowly pressed forward. He waved the command flag down fiercely and stood by Li Guo's side.
Ma Chongxi, the deputy general of the rear camp, immediately led a group of bodyguard cavalry into the enemy's army like a whirlwind and joined the battlefield.
Swords and guns clashed with each other, horses neighed and people screamed, creating a chaotic mess, but then the battle lines immediately became clear.
The heavy cavalry of the Shun army that had previously raided the formation had all retreated to Dashun's front. Duduo also restrained the pursuit of the Qing troops and carefully maintained the stability of the Eight Banners Army's front.
Wu Sangui, who was attacking from the left and right wings, turned his horse again, retreated like an ebbing tide, got out of the way, and returned to the position of the Qing army's right wing - that is, to the north of the Huolu battlefield.
Zhang Nai and Zhang Pili each rushed into Li Guo's army with some soldiers. Both of them already had wounds on their bodies. Zhang Nai had just been surrounded by the Manchus and was deeply trapped in the army, so his injuries were serious.
It is much heavier than Zhang Pizhu, and it has reached the point where the blood on the sleeves is full.
Yihou stood in front of Li Guo and said with a smile: "Brother Guo! Is the imperial camp going to attack on all fronts? Pi Fu and I just skimmed the formation to test the enemy's force, and estimated that we killed or wounded two or three thousand Gou Tatars."
Come on!"
Before Li Guo could speak, another general from the middle camp, Li You, rushed to the front of the army and reprimanded:
"Shuangxi, you are so stunned! His Majesty asked you to lead the elite cavalry to test the strength of the Tatars. Why did you break away from the army like this and advance alone? Going so deep into the Donglu front line, if Zhang Piru hadn't broken through
The formation rescued each other, and we almost got trapped in the Qing army's formation and couldn't extricate ourselves. This is really nonsense!"
When Li Zicheng became emperor, although Li You was only granted the title of earl, his status was not as noble and prominent as that of Marquis Zhang Nai. However, Li You and Li Zicheng were distant relatives, and they were friends of the same generation. Zhang Nai used to be called Li
At the time of Double Happiness, he was Li Zicheng's adopted son, so of course Li You was used to treating Zhang Nai as his uncle.
It's just that today is different from the past. In the past, Li Shuangxi could be scolded by Li Dayan, but now Yihou Zhang Nai is not in the turn of Wuyang Bo and Li You to criticize him so mercilessly.
Sure enough, Li You's reprimand made the soldiers around Zhang Nai a little angry. They were so brave in killing the enemy and were surrounded by several enemies. They had just worked hard to break out of the encirclement, so why were they being reprimanded by their own people again?
Zhang Nai was the founding Marquis of Dashun, and his status was much higher than that of Li You, but he was blamed by Li Dayan as an immature and ignorant child, which made Zhang Nai very embarrassed.
Yi Hou looked hesitant and argued reluctantly: "I...I was so angry that I killed the captives, so I just asked Zhang Pizhu to cover my flanks."
Li You frowned. His nickname was Li Big Eye. In fact, he was blind in one eye, but the remaining eye kept staring at Zhang Nai, making the latter feel like a light on his back:
"Child's play! Today's battle between the two armies involves the lives of hundreds of thousands of soldiers. How can we tolerate this?"
Li Guo also handed the command flag into the hands of the soldiers and said warmly: "Look, His Majesty's yellow umbrella is moving over... The Dashun Army is about to attack on all fronts. This is the time to use Shuangxi's bloody courage."
There’s no need to be harsh.”
Further behind the rear camp, a flat land could hardly hold Li Zicheng's huge troops and horses. The grass was swaying and the birds and beasts were frightened. Li Zicheng led thousands of troops and horses to press forward.
Liu Tichun led two teams of trumpeters and stood in front of the army. He made a gesture, and the trumpeters blew the horns and conches vigorously: Woo——
The long sound of battle filled the front of the army, and then the drummers banged the gongs in their hands, waved their drumsticks vigorously, and played the military music to start the war.
"Two Tigers..."
Li Guo and Liu Tichun had fought side by side for many years in the past, and the relationship between the two was deep and sincere. When Jinghou saw Liu Tichun standing in front of the army, he felt deep in his heart that it was not long before the two of them broke into the camp in Shaanxi and became famous as two fierce tigers.
Time has passed for several years.
Liu Tichun fanned his face with his big hand like a cattail leaf fan. In the wilderness blown by the summer wind, Liu Tichun still felt very hot. He untied the neck strap of his helmet, took several big breaths and said:
"The Holy Spirit has arrived!"
Following Liu Tichun's shout, everyone focused their attention on the yellow cover of Emperor Yongchang. Even on the battlefield, Li Zicheng's current situation was not too small. He, Niu Jinxing, Song Xiance and other people were all seen by many.
Yellow flags surrounded Li Zicheng, and the yellow umbrella symbolizing the Chinese army's banner was always hanging above Li Zicheng's head.
"His Majesty!"
Li Guo, Zhang Nai, Li You, Liu Tichun and others all nodded. Niu Jinxing and Song Xiance came out first. Li Zicheng reined in his horse under the yellow cover and asked Zhang Nai with a smile:
“Are the Tatar soldiers and horses powerful?”
Li Zicheng's question made Zhang Nai excited again. He replied seriously and excitedly: "The dog Tatars are nothing more than that! Long live, we will definitely win this battle."
