Chongzhen Undergraduates

The cavalry battle lasted for half an hour before slowly subsiding.Zhu Youjian hid in the ditch, listening to the movement on the ground with his ears, until the ground stopped shaking, he dared to raise his head slightly, he scratched the edge of the ditch, and looked out.

"Wang Chengen, get up quickly, the center of the battlefield has shifted to the west."

After pushing and shoving each other, Wang Chengen and the others got up, rubbed their eyes, and looked at the ground. Everyone was stunned by the tragic situation on the battlefield.

There are dead bodies everywhere, dead bodies and broken arms everywhere, and blood pools everywhere.Regardless of whether it was the Chuang Army or the Guan Ning Army, the ratio of casualties to casualties was basically [-]/[-]. There were still some wounded moaning non-stop on the ground, and there were even several pairs of wounded still fighting each other.

Zhu Youjian didn't care about these things, all he saw in his eyes was war horses.The dead and wounded war horses were also lying on the ground, and there were even unowned horses wandering around. Zhu Youjian even saw a war horse dangling around with half of its body hanging from its back.

Not far away, a large number of ownerless war horses gathered together, slowly gnawing on the turf on the ground.In the distance, the main battlefield of the fight is getting farther and farther away, and it seems that Chuangjun's infantry and Wu Sangui's infantry are also fighting.The entire battlefield was busy, and no one would have thought that there would be such a group of people hiding here as thieves.

"Quick! Everyone takes away at least three horses, and don't want any injured or tired ones. Every 100 people will be in a batch, and they will immediately evacuate southward when they are all together. Yao Hai, you and Zhang Han are in charge of the formation, and the rest The team leader is in charge of leading the team, don't go into the capital, and gather at Liuzhuang in Daxing."

Daxing Liuzhuang is Wang Chengen's Zhuangzi. It is the gathering place for fleeing that has been discussed long ago, including Wu Ganlai's advance team, and it is also the preparatory gathering place after leaving the city.

As Zhu Youjian said, he grabbed the nearest horse. Just as he was about to get on the horse, a Chuang Jun on the ground hugged his leg tightly: "Brother, help me, I It's the man who broke the king!"

"I'll save you, sir. You belong to King Chuang, and I belong to me." Zhu Youjian kicked him out, but he didn't expect that the other party happened to have a neck injury. He shrugged to the side and died immediately.

The tens of thousands of cavalry battles left a lot of intact horses, but in the end they did not satisfy Zhu Youjian's ambition of three horses for each of the 1000 people. After half a sincere toss, about 800 people were sent away , There are still 100 people left who have not gathered enough horses.Barely enough for one person to ride.

"Go, go and see how they are doing." Zhu Youjian patted his ass, and ran westward with the rest of the people.

Chuang Jun and Wu Sangui's army had been fighting for three full hours at this time, and both sides were somewhat exhausted.Especially Wu Sangui's subordinates seemed to be about to be surrounded by the Chuang army.

The battle for a piece of stone has completely stopped. At this time, a piece of stone is no longer important.All the focus is on the main movement of Guan Ning's army, and the fighting spirit of Chuangjun is getting higher and higher. Zhu Youjian can hear Liu Zongmin's roaring voice from far away.

"It looks like this battle is going to be over, and Chuangjun has already taken advantage. You said that the Houjin soldiers didn't come, so you failed the bet!" Wang Chengen looked at Zhu Youjian with a smile, thinking that Zhu Youjian had said before, Wu Sangui will lead the Houjin Tartars into the customs.But at this point in the battle, there was not even a shadow of a post-gold tartar soldier.After a while, even if the Tartar soldiers came, they might not be able to save Wu Sangui.

"It's too early for you to be happy. Let's see what's over there at Shanhaiguan?" Wang Chengen followed Zhu Youjian's finger and looked in the direction of Shanhaiguan. Come here.

The cloud of dust moved so fast that it could advance a hundred meters in just a few breaths, which made Wang Chengen's face ashen.At this time, at this place, it is impossible for those who can rush here to have other forces.Especially from the north of Shanhaiguan.

In a moment, the Tartar cavalry had entered the battlefield.If it is said that Guan Ning's iron cavalry is majestic, and rushing into the army is chilling, then Zhu Youjian can only have one word to describe the Tartar soldiers, and that is: beasts!

That's right, this is a group of beasts, or a group of beasts armed to the teeth.

At this moment, this group of wild beasts completely bared their fangs, and they were rushing at the crowd, biting non-stop. No matter which side of the battlefield, people would flee as soon as they encountered this group of wild beast soldiers.

When Li Zicheng saw the Tazi soldiers appearing, he almost spat out a mouthful of old blood.Zhu Youjian didn't see his embarrassed appearance, but Wu Sangui who was not far away could see it clearly.

"Brothers of the Guan Ning Army, our reinforcements are here, follow me to kill the bandits and save the prince!" Seeing the reversal of the situation on the battlefield, the Guan Ning Army immediately increased its combat power, and counterattacked the intruders like crazy .

Poor Li Zicheng's elite, tens of thousands of veteran battalion soldiers were held back by Wu Sangui's men, and then they were consumed by the Tartars bit by bit.

The Tazi soldiers were surprisingly cunning in battle. Their cavalry never confronted the Chuangjun. When they saw the cavalry on the periphery, they drove towards the center. Once they were about to touch the cavalry formation, they immediately dispersed to the two sides.The Tazi soldiers first sent a burst of armor-piercing cones, followed by a wave of throwing axes, and then a wave of javelins.

Long-range throwing weapons were tricked by them on galloping horses. This kind of ability is not possessed by soldiers in the Central Plains.Among the cavalry of the Central Plains, being able to stably draw a bow and shoot arrows on horseback is already a great cavalry, but after all with these Tartar soldiers, the Central Plains cavalry can only be said to be child's play.

Wave after wave of throwing weapons hit the old camp, and then Zhu Youjian saw the soldiers of the old camp fall down in rows, and they were passively killed by the enemy's reaper like harvesting wheat.I thought that the cavalry who broke into the army were not equipped with strong bows and crossbows at all.

Some long weapons such as spears and swords can only be passively beaten in the face of the enemy's throwing weapons.Coupled with the battle that has been fought for several hours, the physical exertion of the horse is also close to the limit.

After another burst of armor-piercing cones, the Chuang army finally couldn't hold on any longer. Some soldiers grabbed a few shields and braved the locusts to rush towards the Tartar army formation. At this moment, the Tartar soldiers suddenly separated and rushed from the army formation. A large number of soldiers armed with firecrackers came out, shooting at the Chuangjun indiscriminately.The momentum of Chuangjun's charge was immediately vented.

Seeing this, Zhu Youjian really couldn't understand why there were a large number of musketeers in the army of the Tartars. It stands to reason that the Tartars won the world by riding and shooting?Looking back, Zhu Youjian found some abnormalities, because the real Tartars are still obviously different from the Han people at this time, not only the money rat tail on the back of the head, but also the appearance of the face.

Manchurian Tartars generally have big faces, bow legs, big heads, yellow and black teeth, and sunken eye sockets.Zhu Youjian found that among the group of Tatar soldiers who arrived on the battlefield, only half of them were real slave-building Tartars, and the rest were basically Han Chinese, which is often called the Han Eight Banners or

The Liaodong Han who surrendered.

Zhu Youjian recalled the materials of later generations and wrote that when the Tartars entered the customs, the total number of troops belonging to Jiannu was only 6, and with the addition of 10 Mongolian Eight Banners, it was less than 18.The Tartars brought a full [-] people into the customs, which means that half of them were Han soldiers.

After entering the customs, a large number of Han Chinese surrendered and soldiers were in the vanguard of establishing slavery. In other words, the history of Nanming is still a history of blood and tears of Han people fighting themselves.

Right now, the old battalion of Chuangjun is already on the brink of destruction, the entire old battalion can't last long, and there is no other reinforcements on the entire battlefield that can save them, all that awaits them is destruction.

"My old camp!" Li Zicheng saw the old camp besieged, and the blood that had been suppressed for a long time finally spurted out of his chest.These people are all the wealth he has accumulated for more than ten years when he moved to the north and south. They are all old brothers who have been with him since the uprising in northern Shaanxi.

After observing the battlefield, Zhu Youjian has basically understood the real combat power of the Tazi soldiers. The only thing he didn't see was the appearance of the famous Houjin figure. However, today Zhu Youjian obviously couldn't see Dorgon and Da Yuer, Hong Chengchou and others showed up.

"Hurry up and find the prince." Zhu Youjian suddenly came to his senses, and he was fascinated by watching the three-way battle just now.Now that the Chuang army is about to be defeated, I have to flee the battlefield immediately, and I have been busy just now, it seems that the whereabouts of the two cheap sons have not been found yet.

"Report to the general. I have searched everywhere, but I can't find it. Li Zicheng is not there either. Did Li Zicheng kill them?"

"You crow's mouth, you brat, I won't beat you to death if you look at me like this in the future." Wang Chengen was a little used to this subordinate, but he also hated it a little.What I like is Yao Hai's cleverness, but I hate his broken mouth, and I don't know if he said the wrong thing once.

"Father, we are here." Just as he was speaking, two thin soldiers in military uniforms approached quietly not far away.Zhu Youjian and others took a closer look, isn't this just their two cheap sons?

Zhu Youjian said to the prince angrily: "Why are you two running around, don't you know this is a battlefield?"

"Father, my son was a little worried about your safety just now, and was looking for you everywhere." The prince said a little aggrieved.

"Okay, now that everyone is here, let's retreat quickly, or it will be too late." Wang Chengen hurriedly brought over two horses, intending to help the two princes onto the horses.

At this time, a group of Tartar infantry suddenly jumped out from the side, there were about 100 people, and they stopped in front of everyone fiercely.Zhu Youjian took a look and saw that the eyes of this group of people were fixed on the horse on his side, and they kept talking.

It is estimated that this group of Tazi soldiers happened to see a large number of war horses on their side, and wanted to chase after them to grab the horses.Moreover, the number of people in this group was not as large as his own, but they dared to intercept him, which showed how fierce the Tartar soldiers were.

"What should I do?" Wang Chengen asked quickly.

"What else can I do? When friends come, they have good wine, and when wolves come, they have long guns! I'm not Wu Sangui, I think they are civilized people. Copy guys, beat them." After Zhu Youjian finished speaking, he drew out his knife and faced the front A Tazi soldier with yellow and black buck teeth and a foul mouth slashed at him.

Wang Chengen did not dare to show weakness, and quickly joined the battle group.At this time, Zhu Youjian's subordinates showed the problem of low combat literacy.These soldiers, who were young and strong not long ago, had a slow reaction speed. They had just picked up their knives and guns when Zhu Youjian had fought for several rounds.

Although there were more people on his side than the other side, Zhu Youjian was almost cut by the Tartar soldiers. At the most critical moment, the prince tried his best to resist a knife from a Tartar soldier, so that Zhu Youjian was barely injured.

"General, let's go, let's stop them." Yao Hai and Zhang Han hurried to Zhu Youjian with a few men, stopped the Tartar soldiers who were attacking them, and shouted eagerly.

Obviously there are more than 200 people on my side, but after one face-to-face, I lost thirty or forty people in one fell swoop, and all of them were killed with one blow, just like meeting the top masters in martial arts novels.Zhu Youjian knew that these Tazi soldiers were not martial arts masters, but because they had extremely rich combat experience, and his subordinates were all young, and in a face-to-face fight, one move could hit the key.The killer move on the battlefield is usually a one-shot kill, not the three hundred rounds of the battle written in the novel.

These people are so wronged!

Chapter 23: Fleeing the Battlefield

(ps: As an author, I really hope to see the opinions of readers. Comments are welcome, thank you!)

"Let's go!" Seeing the dead bodies all over the floor, Wang Chengen immediately attacked the Tartars like crazy, while protecting the two princes and retreating.

"Want to leave? Hand over the crown prince." At this moment, the hateful Wu Sangui appeared out of nowhere and gathered with dozens of men and Tartars. At this moment, the enemy side completely gained the upper hand. Youjian and the others couldn't even leave if they wanted to!

It's over!Zhu Youjian couldn't figure out why he was suddenly passive after planning well.If he was caught by Wu Sangui, this little life would be considered a complete confession.

"Wu Sangui, Chongzhen took you well, why did you attack the prince?" Wang Chengen really did not expect Wu Sangui to kidnap the prince at this time.

"I am here to help the Ming Dynasty, and I will escort the crown prince when he joins our army." Wu Sangui said with awe-inspiring righteousness, those who didn't know him really thought he was the loyalty of Daming.

"The emperor's decree ordered the prince to go south. Since you are for the sake of the Ming Dynasty, why don't you let the prince go south?" Zhu Youjian immediately exposed Wu Sangui's small calculation: "Could it be that you want to hide from Cao A, or you want to dedicate the prince to the queen?" gold?"
