Ming Taizi's Total War

Chapter 233
In the frantic shooting of the gunners, in a short while, the cavalry of the Qing army near Azig fell in pieces, just like the Han peasants harvesting wheat in the fields in autumn.

Each round of volley fire will take away the life of a piece of Qing army, and soon, countless corpses of Qing army piled up on the road to the Ming army to form a hill.

With the help of the hill formed by the accumulation of corpses, the Ming army could no longer use firecrackers to cause damage to the Qing army, and correspondingly, it was also difficult for the Qing army to charge the Ming army.

After all, the war horses under their crotches are not all-terrain vehicles, and they cannot climb steep slopes that are too high, nor can they walk in complex terrain.

Seeing that the corpses of the cavalry and horses of the Qing army formed a huge bunker, and he finally got a chance to breathe, Azig hurriedly called the soldiers around him to discuss how to break out of the encirclement.

Falling into such a field today is all due to Azig's greed, stupidity, and self-righteousness. He thought that with [-] cavalry, he could easily break through the Ming army's infantry phalanx.

It's a pity that reality slapped him hard, and Zhu Cihong gave him a class. The cavalry who lost their mobility were like domestic pigs raised in captivity and could only be slaughtered.

"Warriors, we are now surrounded by Han Chinese. We must charge as soon as possible, otherwise we will definitely die here." Azig clenched his fists and said to the soldiers around him.

"By the way, where is Wu Sangui? It's time for him to serve me on the Guanning cavalry." Azig suddenly thought of Wu Sangui.

Now is a good time for Wu Sangui to take Guan Ning's iron cavalry as cannon fodder for him and go to the battlefield to die.

The precious Eight Banners warriors should not be wasted on the battlefield tearing apart the formation of the Ming army. Azig felt that in that case, the death of the Eight Banners soldiers would be too worthless.

After Azig asked this question, all the soldiers looked at each other, not knowing what to say.

"My lord, when we charged just now, Wu Sangui was left behind." All the soldiers looked at each other, and finally one of them stood up.

"How could this be?" Azig never imagined that Wu Sangui was left behind by him, no wonder he always felt that something was missing along the way.

Although Wu Sangui's Guanning iron cavalry is elite and has superb martial arts skills, the horses they use are not very good. They are better than the Mongolian cavalry riding around on Mongolian horses, but they are far worse than the Liaodong horses ridden by their Eight Banners soldiers. up.

"Then you go and send him an order to tell him to come and see me." Azig is about to see Wu Sangui now, and the time left for him is running out. He must send Guan Ning's cavalry to die as cannon fodder as soon as possible, and make a way Come.

After Azig said this, all the soldiers looked at each other again, not knowing what to say.

In the end, it was the same soldier just now who had the courage to stand up and say to Azig, "My lord, the Ming army has separated us, and we have no way to contact Wu Sangui."

Seeing the helpless looks of the soldiers around him, Azig finally understood how bad his current situation was, and all this was because of his recklessness and self-righteousness.

But Azig would not blame himself. He is a general, but not a king. It is too difficult and unnecessary for him to win people's hearts.

"So, now we have to rely on ourselves." Azig said through gritted teeth.

"Give me an order to get the army ready for war, and fight out from both sides. If anyone gets out by chance, they don't need to come to my side, just go back to the camp."

Azig decided to let the soldiers disperse and flee. There was no other way. After all, they were now trapped in a long and narrow passage surrounded by Ming army infantry.

Even if they wanted to assemble the army, there was no place for them to use, so they could only disperse and flee for their lives.

To be honest, even Azig is not sure to kill out alive, so after he let the Eight Banners Knights out here, they don't need to go back to his side, just go back to the camp, if they can go back.

"My lord, we will escort you out." Seeing Azig's distraught appearance after speaking, several nearby soldiers said through gritted teeth.

Although Azig is cruel, greedy, and has many shortcomings, he is the general and banner owner of these soldiers after all. From birth, these soldiers are destined to give up their lives for Azig, even It is everything, which is stipulated by the Eight Banners system.

Everyone who was born under this system can only be forced to accept it, and there is no room for rejection. Just like the princes and grandchildren of the vassal state, if the court does not want you to do business and these low-level businesses, then you will not be able to go even if you starve to death. Do.

Of course, hundreds of years later, the Eight Banners system has bred more children of the Eight Banners who are similar to the princes and grandchildren of the vassals. This is a group of people who have a heavier burden on ordinary people.

The Han people have fought and fought against this for hundreds of years, until the sound of thunder sounded on the land of Kyushu, and they broke free from the shackles and got rid of the vampires riding on their necks.

"Okay." Azig accepted the request of these soldiers very simply and neatly.

He was not stupid enough to be like some so-called benevolent masters who cared about ordinary soldiers regardless of their own safety. The greatest value of these soldiers was to block fatal injuries for Azig and serve as Azig's human armor.

If they can die for Azig on the battlefield and protect Azig's life, they will have fulfilled their mission and can go away in peace.

It's a pity that none of them can leave today. Zhu Cihong has already laid a net here, and nearly [-] cavalry surrounded them with three layers inside and three layers outside.

Unless Azig can change his voice into a bird now, it is absolutely impossible for him to leave this battlefield alive.

Just after Azig broke through the wall formed by the Ming army, he found in despair that there was still a wall formed by the Ming army outside, also holding a large shield and a long spear, standard anti-cavalry tactics.

"My lord, charge again, we still have hope." The soldiers around Azig encouraged him.

If Azig died here today, then the deaths of these soldiers would be meaningless, and they would all have died in vain.

"Okay." Azig gritted his teeth and said resolutely.

He also didn't want to admit defeat so easily, especially to the Han people he despised the most, but if there were some Mongols or other ethnic blood in Zhu Cihong's blood, Azig might surrender to Zhu Cihong.

It's a pity that Zhu Cihong is not. Zhu Cihong is a Han Chinese whose roots are upright and Miaohong, from bloodlines to soul.

Therefore, Zhu Cihong is not innocent and not worthy of Azig's surrender, so he can only fight to the end.
