The goals of both sides are very clear. The Ming army wants to rescue the besieged Zu Dabi and others, while the Tatars' goal is to capture or directly kill Zu Dabi!
For the Ming army, Zu Dabi was the chief general and could never be captured or killed by the Tatars! They will fight to the death to rescue!
For the Tatars, Zu Dabi was a great achievement, whether he was alive or dead. Moreover, whether he captured him or killed him, it was a very heavy blow to the morale of the Ming army. On the contrary, it greatly boosted the morale of the Qing army! Therefore, they are bound to win!
Therefore, the fighting between the two sides was extremely cruel and fierce, but there were no large casualties in a short period of time. This was just because the soldiers were wearing too thick clothes in the winter, and some even wore armor and helmets! If you don't focus on the face or neck, it will be difficult to hurt the opponent with one knife. Even two or three knife blows on the body can't even cut through the leather armor and cotton clothes, but the bones that are smashed will still hurt.
Guimenguan led nearly a hundred Ming troops to charge over, but was intercepted by fifty or sixty Tatar soldiers from the south of the courtyard. The two sides fought for their lives in the ruins. At the same time, the Tatars from other directions in the courtyard immediately climbed over the wall and entered. Before the Ming army broke through the line of defense, they entered the courtyard and captured Zu Dabi!
But how could the people in the yard sit back and wait for death? When he heard the noise outside, Luo Sansheng turned over and rushed out with a knife, shouting: "Protect General Zu, the remaining brothers are holding on!"
As he was speaking, he had just rushed out of the military building when he saw Tatars climbing over the wall and fighting with the Ming army inside. More than ten Tatars at the entrance of the courtyard were holding wooden sticks to poke at the debris blocking the entrance of the hospital while struggling to move towards it. At the same time, several people climbed over the wall from both sides of the gate!
"You bitch, you're looking for death!" Luo Sansheng shouted angrily and brandished a knife...
The courtyard, like the outside, suddenly fell into a melee. More than a hundred Ming troops outside struggled to attack the Tatar defense line, and more than 20 wounded soldiers in the courtyard struggled to resist the Tatars who climbed over the wall.
But there were too many Tatars who came in over the wall, thirty or forty of them. When they entered the courtyard, they killed everyone they saw and rushed towards the military building like crazy!
Their purpose is very clear, to capture Zu Dabi!
"Let me out..." Zu Dabi in the military shed leaned on his knife and roared while bending over. Two soldiers blocked the door with knives and protected him behind him. They looked at the three Tatars rushing in front of them. They were prepared to die because both of them were seriously injured!
Poof, a Tatar fell in front of the two men, tripping the other two Tatars. The two soldiers took the opportunity to rush over and chop the two Tatars to death with their knives, and then returned to the door panting. , and then I saw that the Tatar who had fallen down just now had an arrow in the back of his neck!
They didn't know where the arrow came from, let alone who shot it.
Condition tough.
After shooting the Tatar leaders, a fierce battle broke out between the enemy and ourselves. Chang Yu ordered Kuang Ren to be responsible for long-range suppression, especially to protect the safety of Zu Dabi in the courtyard. Whenever a Tatar approached the military building, he would shoot him. .
Only Kuang Ren can do this job.
Chang Yu is also good at shooting, but his archery skills are far inferior to Kuang Ren's. He doesn't have the magic ability to pierce Yang with a hundred steps and hit the target with hundreds of shots, and he doesn't even have such good eyesight. But this guy is very courageous. When he saw the two sides fighting over there, he ran over, but This time he did not draw his sword and charge into the formation, but stood on a nearby high pile, drew his bow and fired quickly.
The place he was located was only twenty steps away from the battle group, so he could hit with perfect accuracy. However, if the two sides were fighting in a melee and easily fired their bows, it would be easy to accidentally injure friendly troops. So he aimed at the Tatar soldiers who had climbed over the wall, and when he saw them, he shot one by one, but was unexpectedly shot. He shot and injured four or five people!
The Tatars' defense line consisted of fifty or sixty people, all of whom were strong soldiers, but under the impact of Gui Menguan's twice as many troops, they were already crumbling, and collapsed in the blink of an eye.
However, Luo Sansheng's defense line collapsed in the courtyard in an instant!
The Tatars had made deductions and preparations before attacking. Once they started, they were like a scourge. Dozens of people climbed over the wall and entered to kill the generals. One group of people fought with the Ming army, and another group of people rushed straight to the military building. Luo Sansheng's men tried their best to stop him, but they couldn't hold back the opponent's overwhelming numbers, not to mention they were all wounded soldiers.
Even with the long-range support of Kuang Ren from a high point in the distance, many Tatars still broke through the obstacles and went straight to the military building to kill. The two soldiers at the door swung their swords but blocked them for a few times before being hacked to death. The three Tatars Rushing in, Zu Dabi swung his knife and was kicked down, and then he was fought out by three people...
Luo Sansheng, who was fighting with the Tatars, caught a glimpse of him from the corner of his eye. He turned around and rushed over without caring about the enemy in front of him: "Protect the general..." Then he was chopped down by the Tatar behind him. The Tatar was about to make up for it, but his head suddenly flew away. He stood up, and blood spurted on the face of a Buddhist monk...
Wang Zhengnan finally came in with more than 20 personal guards!
They are the main force responsible for the rescue, or in other words, they are the ones responsible for the rescue, while the Ming troops at Guimen Pass are responsible for attacking the Tatar defense line and holding the Tatars back!
So when they led their men to charge at Guimen Pass, they did not join the battle group. Instead, they opened their bows and fired quickly. They first helped to deal with the opponent's archers and shot and killed a group of Tatars at the entrance of the courtyard, and then joined the battle. , they were not willing to fight or catch and kill, they tore open a hole in the defense line and went straight to the yard!
They arrived quickly enough, but they were still a little late. Most of the Ming troops in the yard were dead and wounded, and Zu Dabi was also captured by the Tatars!
"Let him go!" Monk Fan slashed the Tatar, and did not go to check the life and death of Luo Sansheng on the ground. He stopped the three Tatars, raised his knife and roared. The three Tatars looked frightened. They had just captured Zu Da. Bi was about to leave, but before he had gone far, so many Ming troops rushed in. Without saying a word, they went straight to kill his friendly troops, killing them all in the blink of an eye. And the reason why the three of them were He is still alive because he has the protective god Zu Dabi in his hand.
As a result, one person immediately put a knife on Zu Dabi's neck, and the other two held the knife in front and roared something loudly. They were speaking in Manchu. No one could understand it, but it was obvious that he wanted the Ming army to get out of the way. , they wanted to take Zu Dabi hostage and leave.
"Let him go, I'll wait for you to find a way out." Wang Zhengnan blocked the three of them with a knife and glanced at Zu Dabi. The old boy had fainted at this time. No wonder he was so quiet. He was leaning against him softly. On one Tatar, the Tatar held him with one arm and held a knife on his neck with one hand. The other Tatar held a knife with one hand and held him with the other hand.
Another Tatar waved the steel knife in his hand in front of him. He was mumbling and had a fierce look on his face. It was obvious that this guy couldn't listen to advice.
Wang Zhengnan glanced at Fan Monk, who bit his lip. At this moment, a sharp arrow shot through the air. The Tatar holding Zu Dabi with a knife was lying on his back. The two Tatars next to him had not yet arrived. Before they could react, Wang Zhengnan and Fan Seng attacked at the same time, each slashing one. The two Tatars panicked and resisted, while other soldiers nearby rushed over and hacked them to death with swords!
