Although he was reluctant in his heart, when Dorgon met Wanyan Zongwang's cold eyes, he didn't hesitate at all. He clapped his horse and stepped forward, leading the three thousand cavalry from his own tribe towards the open road. The city gate is meandering.
"All officers and soldiers must be careful when marching in formation, and do not rush forward in pursuit of success!"
Dorgon pressed the knife with his left hand, held a round wooden shield in front of him with his right hand, and moved forward cautiously.
"Fire the arrow!"
Just after the Jurchen cavalry went around two streets, a clear cold shout suddenly sounded from the front. Immediately afterwards, an overwhelming barrage of arrows swept over.
Dorgon was shocked when he saw this, and hurriedly raised his shield in front of him, shouting: "Brothers, hurry up, shield to resist!"
Puff puff! ! !
The Jurchens' technology was backward, and the shields in their hands could not stop the Sui army's crossbow arrows. They were shot to the ground in pieces, with blood splattering everywhere and wailing sounds.
"Brothers, follow me, go to the left path, and flank them."
The round shield in Dorgon's hand is different from the shield in the hands of ordinary soldiers. It is a trophy captured in his past battles with the Youzhou Army. With this shield, he avoided being pierced by thousands of arrows.
Dorgon gave an order, and the Jurchen cavalry, who was suppressed by the rain of arrows and could not raise their heads, hurriedly turned their horses' heads and quickly turned to the left side of the street as if they had been granted amnesty.
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
The Jurchen cavalry turned around and rushed no more than a hundred steps away. Countless Sui soldiers suddenly rushed out from the corner of the street in front. The sword in the hand of a general danced with cold light, and he clapped his horse and went straight for Dorgon: "Jurchen barbarian thief, watch me, Zhu Jun, take your life!"
"Ding dong, it has been detected that Zhu Jun has entered the brave state, the force is +3, the base force is 94, and the current force has increased to 97."
"Ding dong, the local military general Zhu Jun's four-dimensional ability has been detected. Commander is 82, force is 94, intelligence is 78, and politics is 76."
Dang, Dang, Dang! ! !
Zhu Jun struck first and struck three swords first. Dorgon tried his best to be able to stop him. The horse under his crotch neighed and involuntarily took a few steps back.
"Hiss! How come there are so many fierce generals in the Sui army?" Dorgon's tiger's mouth was cracked by Lei Wanchun and now he was in great pain because of Zhu Jun. His pupils shrank suddenly, secretly thinking in his heart Screaming endlessly.
"Come on, kill all the barbarians!"
At the same time, hundreds of Sui soldiers suddenly poured out of the closed houses on both sides, holding long knives in their hands. They rushed into the crowd without fear of death, slashing and killing until blood dripped all over their bodies.
The Jurchen cavalry were indeed unstoppable when fighting on the plains, but in the streets and alleys, their advantages could not be used at all. The Sui army infantry took advantage of the geographical advantage to kill corpses everywhere, causing heavy casualties.
"Withdraw, get out of the city quickly!"
Seeing that his soldiers suffered heavy casualties, Dorgon still dared to fight and led the remaining defeated soldiers to quickly retreat outside the city.
. . . . . . . . . . .
"Second Prince, there is indeed an ambush of the Sui army in the city. They are ambushing on every street. At least half of my three thousand soldiers have been destroyed!" Dorgon did not hide his dissatisfaction at all when he spoke. After all, these three thousand soldiers and horses are all soldiers and horses of his own tribe. How can he get some compensation if his attitude is not tougher?
"General Dorgon, thank you for your hard work. I will go to my father Khan and General Nurhaci to apologize for this matter. I believe they will give you an explanation."
Wanyan Zongwang replied to Dorgon in a calm tone, glanced at Gao Biao and other people who had asked for battle before, and said: "You have also heard what General Dorgon said. Since there is an ambush in the city, I can't do it." An order that will annihilate our entire army. Send the order and the entire army will retreat twenty miles and set up camp."
"Withdraw, withdraw!"
The Jurchen cavalry who were still waiting under the city wall turned their horses around, and Wanyan Zongwang personally led the rear, and followed the original marching path like the ebb of the sea.
When the Jurchen cavalry had retreated far away, only some starting points could be vaguely seen. Although Liu Xuanchu was a little thin, his tall and tall figure slowly appeared on the city wall, with two burly generals guarding him on both sides like door gods.
Zhu Jun, who was relatively short in stature, looked at the retreating Jurchen cavalry and laughed: "The general and Mr. Liu are really powerful. Every move of the Jurchens is within their expectations."
Lei Wanchun also sneered: "I'm afraid they never dreamed that the ambush troops in the city were all local warriors after arriving in Youzhou. This battle was basically using them to train troops. The real ambush troops should be on their way back now." Waiting for them.”
"The Jurchen cavalry may have been a little wary when they came. Now that we are retreating, we are sure that we have an ambush in the city. We will not have any precautions at all. This battle is already certain."
Liu Xuanchu smiled slightly and said in a sarcastic tone: "Actually, it doesn't matter how clever my strategy is. If an army of nearly 60,000 can't deal with 20,000 Jurchen soldiers and horses, then how can the general and I be worthy of His Majesty's respect? Actually, to be honest , this battle is really thanks to Luo Yi, if he hadn't lost consecutive battles, which made the Jurchens arrogant, where would we have the fighting chance we have today?"
Lei Wanchun and Zhu Jun both heard the sarcasm in Liu Xuanchu's words, but they did not feel dissatisfied because Liu Xuanchu ridiculed his colleagues. Instead, they sneered in unison with Liu Xuanchu.
Lei Wanchun was a direct descendant of the Sui army, and he didn't have much affection for Luo Yi, a man named Sui Chen who was actually a warlord.
Although Zhu Jun was from Youzhou, Luo Yi naturally tried every means to expand his army and exploited the people in order to survive when he was surrounded by enemies on all sides. In addition, since the Hulu invaded the south, Luo Yi had suffered continuous defeats, causing countless people in Youzhou to fall under the iron heel of the Huru. Zhu Jun's hatred of Luo Yi was even stronger than that of other Sui generals.
. . . . . . . . . . . .
When the Jurchen army first withdrew, they were a little worried that the Sui army in the city would come out to pursue them. However, when they withdrew about five or six miles from Xinchang, because they had not discovered the movements of the Sui army for a long time, that arrogant arrogance once again appeared in the city. It spread throughout the army.
"The Han people are just timid. They only dare to hide in the city and plot and plot, and they don't dare to leave the city at all."
"Hey, they dare to leave the city. Outside the city, we can kill them with just one charge!"
"Hahaha, that's right. We Jurchen warriors are the bravest warriors in the world! Han people, do they have the courage to confront us head-on?"
. . . . . . . . . .
Wanyan Zongwang did not stop the spread of this arrogant spirit. After all, he had just returned undefeated from Xinchang City. At this time, the priority should be to restore morale. And just as Liu Xuanchu expected, he never thought that there would be an ambush by the Sui army ahead!
