The whole world wants to know where Lee Laihyung is now.
Li Zicheng wanted to know, Huang Taiji also wanted to know, and of course, Gu Junen and Chen Yongfu, who were slowly attacking from Zhending City with more than ten thousand infantry, also wanted to know.
In a small corner of Huolu, two armies capable of conquering the world have been gathered, and behind them, more troops are coming in.
Gu Junen took the risk and led his troops out of the city. Zhending City suddenly lost more than half of its defenders and could be overturned at any time. But he and Chen Yongfu both knew that Zhending City was no longer the key to victory or defeat. The place that decided where the world belonged was not Zhending.
, but about getting deer.
Even if Zhending City is lost, they must catch up with the decisive battle of Huolu...
More than 10,000 infantrymen advanced slowly. They advanced cautiously, fearing that Huang Taiji, who had just retreated from Zhending City not long ago, would suddenly come back with a counterattack. But now it seems that Huang Taiji really used all his strength to capture the deer.
Focusing on the aspect of a life-and-death battle with Li Zicheng, and ignoring the true direction, this lone army actually successfully advanced to the southeast side of the Huolu battlefield.
Chen Yongfu's son Chen De rode a horse and rushed to a mound to look around. In the wilderness with an unobstructed view, there were two armies fighting like a torrent of steel. The shouts of killing were like tsunamis, and the sound of shelling was like landslides. Soldiers were fighting hand to hand, fighting with swords and guns.
, muskets and arrows were fired, thousands of cannons fired at the same time, and the entire battlefield seemed to be boiling.
Chen De also saw Li Zicheng's imperial camp Huang Gai standing in the center of the battlefield. Following the command of the yellow umbrella, the main force of the Dashun Army's central front finally attacked with all its strength.
The Manchus gritted their teeth. Even these warriors, who had experienced hundreds of battles, encountered such a powerful enemy for the first time. Even Hong Chengchou during the Songjin War could not compare with it.
Prince Duduo of Yu felt that the solid front line of the Qing army was actually wavering, so he lowered his face, made up his mind, drew his sword, and shouted at the top of his lungs. He ordered his guards to launch a counterattack charge.
Even ignoring the dissuasion of the guards and close followers, he waved his blade wildly and wanted to rush to the front line to fight.
But the usually ferocious and brutal roars of the Manchurian Tartars were completely drowned out by the earth-shattering shouts of killing from the troops in the middle camp of the Dashun Army. The heroic knights sent by Duduo to protect the army were killed one after another by the Shun army, and they were tragically killed.
With shouts of being thrown off their horses, the number of people dropped sharply.
Although the Dashun army also suffered heavy casualties, Li Zicheng's yellow umbrella stood at the front line of the battlefield. Even Emperor Yongchang led his troops to join the Shura hell-like fighting field. The morale and fighting spirit of the soldiers were always outstanding.
Never fade.
Chen De couldn't help but sigh to Chen Yongfu and said: "Commander father... Your Majesty leads the expedition in person. This is a situation that has not happened in the Ming Dynasty for almost two hundred years, right? We must also win the title of Conglong Minister as soon as possible!"
Chen Yongfu, however, squinted his eyes and stared at the two imperial banners in the Qing army's central formation, and murmured: "Is that... the emperor of Donglu on one side, and the emperor of Chongzhen on the other?"
At the critical moment when the two armies were fighting, there was a sudden commotion on the southern flank of the Qing army's front. Many Mongolian cavalry rushed from the southern flank to the central front for reinforcements, shouting.
The Dashun Army deployed only a partial division on the south wing. It was mainly some Qin troops led by Niu Chenghu who surrendered. Their combat effectiveness and morale were not as good as those of the Shun Army's regular troops. They were always defeated by the Eight Banners of Mongolia and part of the Qing Army.
The Han army's banners, soldiers and horses suppressed the fight, so that when the situation on the central front tilted to the side of the Shun army, the Qing army was actually able to mobilize troops from the southern flank to reinforce the central front.
At this time, Gu Junen's eyes shone with light. He felt the hot blood in his chest surge up to his head and eyes. He shouted with great excitement:
"It's just the right time for us to arrive at Huolu's fighter plane. Chen Shuai, by sending troops at this moment to tie up the troops on Donglu's southern flank, we will definitely be able to make the final decision and break the deadlock."
On the Huolu battlefield, seeing that the main force of the Dashun Army's middle battalion had made a breakthrough on the central front, the Qing army, in addition to deploying many Mongolian Eight Banners soldiers from the southern flank for reinforcements, once again tried to rely on the advantage of artillery fire to attack the Dashun Army.
Because the front rows of the two armies were already fighting together, and the battle lines were intertwined for several miles, it was impossible to tell the difference between the enemy and ourselves. The shells of the red cannons did not have eyes, and they fell into the pile of soldiers. Although more of them were
They killed and wounded Shun soldiers, but they also inevitably injured many of their own Qing soldiers.
But when the battle situation developed to such an extent, Duduo could no longer hold back. He ignored the possibility of accidentally injuring one of his own men, and urged King Sanshun to fire more guns. He also dispatched many gunmen to use fire guns to attack the attacking troops densely.
Dashun Army infantry shoots.
The bullets were like raindrops, making people unable to lift their heads. Pieces of smoke and dust rose up on the ground, and the firearms shot out countless lines of fire, which dazzled people's eyes.
The Mongolian Eight Banners soldiers drawn from the battlefield on the southern flank, relying on the cover of powerful firepower, swooped in quickly and overwhelmed several formations of Dashun Army soldiers in an instant.
The battlefield was littered with corpses and the atmosphere was depressing. Duduo ordered King Zhishun Shang Kexi to concentrate almost all the guns and artillery in King Sanshun's army, and used most of the bullets and gunpowder. Only then could he withstand the center of the Dashun army.
Advancement of the front.
The number of firearms of the Shun army was obviously not as large as that of the Qing army, and their gunfire was quickly suppressed by the Donglu. The soldiers were hit by a hail of bullets and could only watch their comrades being shot and fell, but they still did not dare
Break away from the formation and attack, disrupting the formation of the army.
Gu Junen knew that this great battle had reached a critical moment, and he repeatedly urged Chen Yongfu to advance quickly. He must seize the good opportunity of the Qing army to withdraw many Mongolian cavalry from the southern flank, and immediately attack the Tatar flank.
There were noisy shouts of killing in the distance, and the ground was shaken. Countless soldiers of the Shun army and the Qing army fought each other with swords and guns.
Big beads of sweat rolled down Chen Yongfu's forehead, and Gu Junen's urging voice kept ringing in his ears. All of their troops were infantry. Once they attacked, there would be no chance to retreat. Now it's really
Is it the most suitable fighter aircraft?
The smoke and dust on the battlefield were so thick that Chen Yongfu could not tell how many reserves Huang Taiji still had behind the Qing army's defense line in Duduo.
There is not much time left for Chen Yongfu to make a decision. This bold and careful veteran actually feels that his legs are weak. Is it possible that he will decide the lives of hundreds of thousands of people by himself?
"Chen Shuai, send troops quickly!"
Gu Junen was so anxious that he almost jumped up. Chen Yongfu closed his eyes, his two eyebrows joined together, and said calmly and forcefully:
"Kill the entire army! Let's penetrate the Tatar flanks!"
With a bang, flags all over the sky appeared in the southeast of Huolu battlefield, giving the most powerful shot in the arm to the brothers of Dashun Army who were fighting fiercely.
More than 10,000 infantry troops arrived on the battlefield in time. Chen Yongfu, Chen De and his son personally led the troops to attack them. Chen De brandished his spear and rushed into the Qing army's front line, overthrowing several Mongolian Eight Banners soldiers in succession, killing them very happily.
Niu Chenghu, who had been struggling to support himself, saw more than 10,000 reinforcements arriving on the southern flank of the front he was responsible for, and his originally gloomy face suddenly turned into joy.
Niu Chenghu was similar to Bai Guangen. They were both from the peasant uprising army. Later, they were recruited by the Ming Dynasty court and joined the Qin army to fight.
His personality is much more kind and honest than Bai Guangen's, and he is almost one of the most reliable generals among the old surrendered generals of the Ming army. Therefore, after his colleagues changed, Li Zicheng dared to let Niu Chenghu take charge of the army alone, and even decided the world
In the Battle of Harulu, Niu Chenghu was left to take charge of a flanking front alone.
It's just that the soldiers and horses under Niu Chenghu's command are not elite, and their strength is slightly smaller than that of the Qing army in front of them. Since the war between the two armies, they have been passively beaten everywhere and have always been at a disadvantage, even allowing the Qing army generals on the opposite side to dare to deploy many capable Mongolian troops.
