The generals of Xuandasan Town immediately stood on the official road twenty miles northwest of Gaoyang County. They watched Wang Pu leading his troops and the Qing cavalry gradually falling into a fierce battle. Although the Qing cavalry over there was extremely brave, they finally It was outnumbered, and there were faint signs of retreating.
"Wan Sheng!"
Waves of cheers rang out from the Xuanda Army Formation, and finally merged into a majestic cheer.
"Wan Sheng... Wan Sheng... Wan Sheng..."
The cheers of more than 4,000 strong knights from Xuan Dabian Town resounded through the sky, and the cheers could be heard for miles.
The heroic fighting and desperate fighting between Datong general Wang Pu and the captive cavalry was a great inspiration to the 20,000 sergeants in the third town of Xuanda.
Lu Xiangsheng watched the battle from a distance and saw that the Qing army was showing signs of defeat. He was about to retreat when he saw it. He shouted hurriedly: "Today, we will cut off all these slave thieves. All officers and men, when the time comes to kill slaves to serve the country, follow my command and kill them." Slave!"
His roaring and whistling sounds seemed to overwhelm the howling cold wind, and another roar of "Wansheng" sounded. The remaining more than 4,000 Xuanda cavalry galloped up, following Lu Xiangsheng, rolling eastward. He rushed towards the Qing army in the wilderness.
…………
Lu Xiangsheng was wearing a helmet and a linen robe. He took the lead, riding on the splendid white war horse Wumingji. In his hand, a fine iron sword weighing dozens of kilograms was pointed straight ahead.
Behind him, there were Xuanda generals again, leading their elite cavalry. Thousands of war horses gathered into a galloping stream of steel armor, rolling up a large sheet of thick smoke and dust, which rolled forward lightly.
The war horses galloped forward, and the sound of iron hooves seemed to make the ground shake violently.
Zhang Cheng put on his helmet and armor, brandished his big stick made of iron and steel, and galloped on his horse, shouting and rushing towards the Qing army in the east.
It seems that since he came to this world, he has only taken the lead twice, but the first time was chasing the Tartar deserters outside the mafang, and the second time was the battle against the Tartar Jia Lazhangjing at Shiqiao.
Now, for the first time, he was rushing to the front of his cavalry brigade like a galloping horse. Following Lu Xiangsheng, Zhang Cheng felt very excited.
This style of play, in which the leader charges forward, is really masculine, manly, and passionate!
In the era of cold weapons, this kind of behavior was unparalleled in inspiring military morale. Especially in the late Ming Dynasty, many Ming armies relied on the bravery of their generals to boost morale and win battles.
Although, according to the modern war concept, it no longer advocates the general's charge into the formation, but more importantly, strict training, serious military regulations and discipline, strict battle formation command, strong logistical support, and the morale of the military who have the courage to fight to the death.
However, the fighting will of the commander of an army also affects the morale of the entire army and affects the changes in the battlefield situation.
Zhang Cheng charged forward on his horse, held up his sword and big stick, shouted and rushed to the front of the four sentry knights under his command. He was wearing the fine steel armor given by the emperor, shining in the light, and with the flying bright red cloak, It is simply majestic and arrogant.
Behind him, the guard captain Chen Zhong rode his horse to carry his guerrilla general to recognize the flag. He was also shouting and howling excitedly, but his eyes never left the side of the general Zhang Cheng. He was loyal and vigilant, guarding him. Zhang Cheng’s safety.
The guards behind Chen Zhong were as cautious as him, and the sunlight range was all around Zhang Cheng. They loyally protected their general.
…………
Thousands of Xuanda cavalry warriors, led by Lu Xiangsheng, rolled forward.
The Qing soldiers who were fighting fiercely with Wang Pu's Datong town cavalry in front were already showing signs of defeat due to their small number. Now they saw a large number of cavalry coming from behind. They roared and left behind those who died in the battle and their wounded companions who fell to the ground. , turned the horses' heads one by one, and ran back to the main formation.
They were just ordered to conduct a test this time. They did not intend to actually fight the Ming army, let alone resist the attack of the Ming army. However, it was obvious that their test had revealed a big problem. basket.
Seeing that the Qing army began to flee, Wang Pu and his Datong Town Qiuqiu were tired from the long battle, but they were unwilling to give up the opportunity to pursue them. Especially when they saw Lu Xiangsheng's large reinforcements coming from behind, they became even more courageous. Together.
Wang Pu's body and face were covered with blood, and he looked a bit ferocious. He shouted loudly: "My sons, chase the slaves and kill the slaves!"
He waved the horse in his hand vigorously, urging the exhausted war horse under his crotch, and led the army in pursuit.
The sound of hoofbeats rolled like thunder. Looking from the air, thousands of horses were chasing each other on the ground, forming a huge plume of smoke that swept everything from west to east.
The person running at the front was Alzin Alzin, the leader of the Zhenglan Banner of the Qing Army, who had never fought. The remaining hundreds of them had more than a thousand horses, and they galloped away. The Qing army knights on the horse, He also jumped back and forth from time to time to ride on horses that were not in action, so as to increase his leg strength and escape with his life.
Fleeing behind those Qing army horse soldiers were hundreds of sparse and unformed horses. From time to time, some fell behind and rolled down. It was the hundreds of Qing army knights who had just fought against Wang Pu Datong's army and horses.
Some of them were either wounded and unable to escape, or their horses were weak and unable to run smoothly. Moreover, when they went into battle, they all rode one horse at a time. Except for those who fled at the front, they caught up with the spare horses. If you change horses in time, you can still escape with your life. The remaining knights of the Qing army all whipped their horses hard, but they couldn't escape quickly.
Following closely behind them were a large group of Ming Dynasty elite knights with flag-colored armor and bright red armor. They were the knights of Datong Town led by Wang Pu.
Behind Wang Pu and other Datong knights, thousands of war horses galloped up.
The intensive tapping of horseshoes seemed to shake the earth. At the front of thousands of war horses, Lu Xiangsheng's figure wielding a fine iron sword and galloping his horse was particularly eye-catching.
Soon, Zhang Cheng and other generals were chasing Wang Pu and other knights from Datong Town. After all, their horses had been charging up and ready to go. Now they were running with all their strength. Naturally, their horses had been fighting for a longer time than Wang Pu and others. , much faster.
"Kill the slaves...kill the slaves..."
The sound of hoofbeats was deafening, the rising smoke clouds rolled forward, and bursts of roars resounded through the sky as if they were about to devour the invaders who invaded the Daming River and Mountains.
…………
Lu Xiangsheng led his troops to pursue the captives and cavalry for more than ten miles. During the pursuit, they killed nearly a hundred slaves and thieves and captured hundreds of war horses.
Suddenly, another large banner appeared in front. A huge golden dragon banner stood out from the crowd and looked particularly eye-catching. Under the large banner, a sea of blue armor appeared.
Thousands more Qing soldiers appeared in the wilderness further to the east. More than three miles away behind this sea of blue armor was the Gaoyang County city wall that was riddled with holes and in dilapidated condition.
