On a mound near the imperial camp, Huang Taiji immediately rode in front of the army. He divided the more than 20,000 elite Manchu soldiers who remained near the imperial tent into two formations and arranged them on both sides of the Chinese army to attack Li Zicheng who broke into the imperial tent.
The guards formed a double-team situation.
Luo Luohun, Adali, Bolo and other Manchurian kings and belles all knelt in front of Huang Taiji's horse, impressed by this pale and fragile soldier.
Huang Taiji flicked the riding whip slightly, as if he had exhausted all his strength and almost fell off the horse. Fan Wencheng hurriedly held Tian Conghan up and asked:
"Your Majesty, will you attack?"
Huang Taiji asked back: "Has Li Zicheng broken through the imperial tent?"
"Li Zicheng has broken through the imperial tent."
"Has Li Zicheng killed Emperor Chongzhen?"
Fan Wencheng said blankly: "...No."
"No." Huang Taiji pointed far away at the center of the Huolu battlefield, pointed at Li Zicheng who had broken through the imperial tent of the Qing army, and pointed at the yellow umbrella in the Chinese army's position that seemed to be towering into the clouds, and said, "Li Zicheng is in the Huolu formation.
During the attack, the flying cavalry broke through our army's imperial tent and strangled Emperor Chongzhen to death with a bowstring. Tell the soldiers of the Ming army to avenge their father's revenge for Emperor Daxing... Set up my great banner!"
With a crash, the kings and belles who had been prepared for a long time re-erected Huang Taiji's yellow dragon banner on both sides of the imperial tent. The more than 20,000 elite Manchu soldiers who were transferred to both sides of the central army finally issued their lurking signal.
Long-lasting anger.
"Kill the thief Li Zicheng!"
"Kill Li Zicheng!"
"Kill Li Zicheng!"
With a roar, the Qing army attacked from both sides at the same time. Duduo, who had just retreated to Kong Youde's artillery position, was overjoyed to see such a surprising change and immediately led his troops to counterattack, preparing to cut off Li Zicheng's retreat.
Those who followed Li Zicheng in the imperial camp were the most elite old soldiers in the Dashun army. They fought and moved, and the square formation remained undisturbed. The enemy repeatedly attacked, but could not break the defense line for the time being.
However, it is very difficult to convey military orders in the melee. Li Zicheng was suddenly besieged in the center of the Qing army's line. The other officers and soldiers of the Dashun Army who were scattered everywhere were unaware of the military situation, and their hearts were shaken for a moment. The military orders of the Dashun Army were strict.
, refused to retreat unless ordered to do so. Under the fierce counterattack of the Qing army, only regiments and teams of Dashun troops were seen fighting on their own, holding back most of the enemies. However, they also suffered heavy casualties and were everywhere.
There are dead bodies lying everywhere and rivers of blood flowing.
Li Guo's army management was the strictest among the Dashun army. At this time of great change, he showed his true qualities as a hero. Even Azig came up with a large number of reinforcements and cooperated with Wu Sangui to launch a fierce counterattack.
It did not shake the determination of the soldiers in the rear camp to break through.
The soldiers and horses in the rear camp were trained very strictly. They followed Li Guo's orders and did not retreat at all. Instead, they continued to charge forward, trying to penetrate the Qing army's defense line from the north flank and rush to the vicinity of the Qing army's imperial tent to rescue Li Zicheng.
Azig slashed wildly with his sword, and the Eight Banners soldiers rushed up with shouts, but they were unable to defeat them. Li Guo was like a wall in front of them, not only blocking the Qing army's attack, but also
Keep pushing forward.
Zhang Pili's sense of smell on the battlefield is extremely sensitive. He quickly discerned the major crisis that may arise from Li Zicheng's encirclement, and immediately persuaded Zhang Nai:
"Marquis Yi, we are at a critical moment. Hurry up and fight with your replacement commander to break the formation and rescue the holy driver!"
Zhang Nai was stunned for a moment and did not react. Zhang Pizhu had no choice but to shout a warning, and he led the team to follow Li Guo and rushed over. After a while, Zhang Nai, who was shocked, followed Li Guo at the urging of Dang Shousu.
Come up.
Most of the troops on the southern flank were infantry, and it was impossible to break through the Qing army's front line overnight and rescue Li Zicheng. Now the only hope fell on Li Guo and Zhang Nai. Only such a powerful force on the northern flank
Only with the cavalry troops can we finally break the dilemma and rescue King Chuang.
Li Guo was determined to rescue his uncle Li Zicheng, who was like a father and a brother, and to rescue countless soldiers of the Dashun Army who were trapped in a tight siege. Without any fear, he shouted and rushed into the iron stream of Azig's army.
Li Guo did not know that in the later Battle of Northern Shaanxi, he had beaten Azig to the point where he could hide in a remote place. He only believed that his desperate fight would surely reverse the situation.
Li Guo had been hit by several arrows, his armor was full of blood, and his strength was gradually running out, but he still charged from left to right, charging with all his strength. Azig had never seen such a desperado-like opponent in his life. Even though he had the advantage in strength, he was still beaten.
He was caught off guard, and Li Guo almost opened a gap and inserted himself near the imperial tent.
At this time, the floating clouds were floating, and a strong wind carried sand, stone, smoke and dust from the southeast. This was a common southeast wind in the summer in Beizhili, but at this time, it blew head-on into the face of the Shun Army cavalry who assaulted from the northwest.
.
Unfortunately, Zhang Nai's horse was frightened by the wind and sand, and with a long hiss, Yihou fell to the ground. The Dashun Suwei cavalry who were following Zhang Nai suddenly saw the commander falling off his horse in front of the formation, and suddenly lost their command and fell into chaos.
middle.
Wu Sangui looked up to the sky and sighed: "I don't want thieves to dominate the world!" Then he led the Yiding cavalry of the Guan Ning Army to launch an all-out counterattack. He personally led his servants to rush over and engage in a close melee with the Shun Army cavalry, losing the command of Yihou.
The cavalry of the Dashun Army could only fight independently and immediately suffered heavy losses.
Wu Sangui knew that Zhang Nai was the commander of the northern flank of the Dashun Army and would never let him live, so he immediately surrounded him with several servants.
After Zhang Nai fell from his horse, he was seriously injured. He had no arrows and the blade of his sword was missing. He was stabbed in the arm and was bleeding. Several guards rushed up desperately to protect Zhang Nai. Yihou watched
These warriors laughed miserably:
"I can no longer fight, I have killed an entire army, and I have no face to see my father and brothers. You should run away quickly and seek your own survival!"
He looked at Li Zicheng's yellow umbrella in the imperial tent of the Qing army from a distance, burst into tears, and was about to commit suicide: "I can no longer follow the Holy Chariot to kill and gallop. How can my country of Dashun be destroyed so soon!"
Li Guo saw Zhang Nai's fall from a distance. He was heartbroken and in a dilemma. He was angry that Dang Shousu and Zhang Pili could not protect Zhang Nai, and they were also unable to immediately take over Zhang Nai's responsibility.
The coach is disappointed with his commanding responsibilities.
However, Dang Shousu had just arrived from the northwest, and Zhang Pizhu was not a general in the middle camp. How could he command Zhang Nai's subordinates in such a hurry?
Seeing their hopes dashed, the Suwei cavalry under Zhang Nai either committed suicide on their horses, or rushed towards the enemy with all their might, hacking and killing them randomly for a while before being killed by the enemy.
Even a vicious and cruel man like Azig could not but sigh with emotion when he witnessed such a heroic scene: "There are also brave men among the bandits."
Li Guo knew that only half of his nearly 10,000 outflanking troops were cavalry. With his own army alone and without Zhang Nai's assistance, it was impossible to break through Azige and Wu Sangui's blockade and rescue Li Zicheng who was trapped in a tight siege.
He gritted his teeth and had no choice but to lead his army to turn around and fight back. He gave up the desperate fight to seize sections of fronts and positions. He turned around and broke through the blockade of Guan Ning's soldiers, reached Zhang Nai's vicinity, and then shot Zhang Nai down with an arrow.
Nai held the weapon in his hand and roared almost like crazy:
"Absurd, ridiculous! Hurry up and follow me to kill the enemy."
Dang Shousu and Zhang Pizhu then arrived with their troops. Li Guo glanced at them fiercely, and the solemn expression that had been calm in Gujing for a long time was now replaced by anger.
"Your Majesty is trapped in a tight siege. Whether Dashun's country can have a way out depends on our charge...Follow me, and I will not return until Donglu is defeated!"
Dang Shousu looked at Zhang Nai's face covered with dirt and his eyes were in a state of panic, and didn't know what to say. Zhang Pili clenched his saber tightly and gritted his teeth and said:
"As long as we hold on for a while, Suihou will definitely arrive. There is no battle in the world that Suihou cannot win. As long as Suihou arrives, we will definitely be able to win."
Li Guo took a long breath and finally showed a half-smile and said: "Yes, there is Laiheng... Dashun still has Li Laiheng. The road to survival is not lost, and the chance of victory is not lost... Everyone follow me and fight to the death."
Dou, rush to the Tatar imperial tent and rescue His Majesty first."
