No matter how stupid Liang Kang's formation was, Annan's soldiers were still worthy of recognition for their bravery and courageous spirit of not fearing death.
At least it shows that they are a real army, not stragglers!
Han looked at Annan's army, which was only fifty steps away from him. The archers had retreated behind the cavalry. He drew his saber and shouted sternly: "Raise an army for a thousand days, use it for a while. Kill all the bandits and find a prince! Kill them for me." !”
Say it!
Han Guan took the lead and rushed out. Meng Cha, Xu Liang and other generals accelerated their horses and passed Han Guan.
Meng Cha swung a pure iron mace weighing sixteen kilograms and smashed it at the head of the Annan soldier. The iron nail hit directly into the scalp, bringing out a string of fur and blood.
The Annan soldier stabbed Han Guan with his spear. Han Guan lay back and lay directly on the horse's back. The long knife in his hand was horizontal and directly grazed the sergeant's head. With the speed of the horse and the blade, he was either decapitated or decapitated. Severed hand!
"Wang Bi, put the national flag at the front!"
Han Guan chopped one person down and shouted sharply.
Wang Bi waved the flagpole and, protected by the sergeants on both sides, rushed to the front!
When the sergeants behind him saw the national flag in front and the general taking the lead in the charge, they became even more courageous. They rushed forward one by one and violently attacked Liang Kang's military formation.
Liang Kang watched the army formation begin to collapse and was so anxious that he was sweating profusely. The Ming army was so brave and brave, which was beyond his expectation.
I need more power!
But there are only 3,000 people in hand, and nearly 500 people were lost in the first contact. If the fight continues like this, everyone will die! You must know that the Ming Dynasty used more than 3,000 people!
Liang Kang looked back at Hu Du in the distance, but Hu Du's army was only a hundred meters away, unmoved.
"Kill me!"
Liang Kang knew that he had to hold on now and wait for Wan Qi to defeat the Ming army from the rear. Only in this way could a pincer attack from the front and back be formed, and only then could he win!
But now Wan Qi has no way to show up as scheduled.
Wan Qi knew that if he wanted to overwhelm the Ming army as much as possible, the most important thing was to be surprised, and if he wanted to be surprised, he had to be fast enough.
Therefore, Wan Wei adopted a rapid march and made a big circle to go to Na Nie.
When passing a wooden bridge over the canal, Wan Qi saw countless straws scattered under the bridge, but did not think about why the people here would throw the straw into the shallow river.
When two thousand people passed the wooden bridge, three cannon shots were heard!
Boom boom boom!
The Ming army ambushing under the bridge quickly gathered and blocked Wan Qi's retreat. In front of Wan Qi's army, a Ming army also appeared. The iron pipe was filled with black holes.
Before Wan Yi could shout out the ancient saying "I've fallen into the trap", he heard a violent roar and a loud shout of killing.
Wan Wei organized an army to resist, but the sergeants were crowded on the narrow road. It was difficult to turn around, let alone resist. What's more, in the panic, the sergeants scurried away, either towards the fields aside, or Hide on the ground and surrender or play dead.
Wan Qi rushed left and right, trying to find a way out.
It's just that I don't know who was holding the blunderbuss. When the blunderbuss was fired, the brave general was sent away.
Without Wan Qi's command, the two thousand sergeants became a piece of scattered sand, either killed or captured, nothing else.
Hu Du also heard three cannon shots in the distance and knew that his strategy had failed. The Ming army should have seen through his intentions long ago, but Hu Du didn't know how the Ming army knew about him from such a distance. arrange?
Wan Qi's path forward is assigned temporarily, and there is absolutely no possibility of the secret being leaked!
"General!"
Yang Xiu, the general beside Hu Du, shouted with a solemn expression.
"Order Liang Kang to fight to the death! Let's withdraw."
Hu Du issued the order, knowing that it would be meaningless to lead people to press forward at this time. After all, there were still some forces of the Ming army in the rear that were not engaged in the battle.
However, he divided his troops between Liang Kang, Wan Qi and Hu Mu, and no longer had an advantage in terms of number of troops.
Hu Du turned his horse's head and withdrew with his main force. Without waving his hand or looking at the clouds, he headed straight for Naliu indifferently.
Liang Kang saw this scene and received the order to fight to the death, but he was unwilling to do so.
Among the three thousand sergeants in front of them, more than a thousand of them are the backbone of them, all of them are their own strength.
As the local chieftain of Annan, Liang Kang had armed forces, but this force was obviously insufficient compared to the Annan Kingdom, and he could only obey Hu Jisu's dispatch.
Liang Kang didn't want to die here, so he chose to escape, leaving most of the sergeants behind and running away with only more than 200 of his personal guards.
Meng Cha saw this scene and wanted to chase him away, but was stopped by Han Guan: "First deal with the immediate situation!"
Han Guan does not pursue how many generals he kills on the battlefield. What he pursues is victory on the entire battlefield. As for the person who ran away, hey, where can he go?
Zhennanguan Pass has been closed, and Pingxiang Pass is also firmly in the hands of the Ming army. If they want to leave here, they can only climb over the mountains.
But entering the mountain without any preparation can only lead to a dead end.
The most important thing is to eliminate the opponent's effective forces and reduce the casualties on your own side.
Without Liang Kang's command, the remaining Annan sergeants also had no backbone. More than 1,200 people were killed, more than 900 were injured and captured, and some escaped.
While Han Guan was cleaning the battlefield and treating the wounded, Jiang Chengzhou, the rear army responsible for encircling and annihilating Wan Qi, withdrew his troops and returned, bringing Wan Qi's body and more than 1,300 prisoners.
Jiang Chengzhou took out the precious telescope, handed it back to Han Guan, and said solemnly: "Sir, this artifact has made great achievements!"
Han Guan carefully put away the telescope, then stuffed it back into his arms and said, "With this thing in hand, it will be difficult for the enemy to make a surprise attack."
After hearing this, Huang Guangcheng on the side asked curiously: "I wonder how magical this artifact is. Can Huang have a look?"
Han Guan directly rejected Huang Guangcheng and said: "This is an important weapon in our Ming army. According to the regulations, it can only be used by the Dusi and Tongzhi. Without the authorization of the Dusi, it must not leave his side. Huang Zhifu is a civil servant, so don't think about it. ”
Huang Guangcheng was a little helpless.
Han Guan was not joking.
Zhu Yunwen only used telescopes to coax women and appreciate the distant scenery, but the Ministry of War and the Fifth Army Governor's Office attached great importance to telescopes and even issued a set of special laws.
One of them stipulates that the right to use the telescope can only be given by the commander and the commander, and the telescope is under the supervision of the commander himself on weekdays.
If you lose your telescope, it is more serious than losing your seal, and you will be dismissed and investigated.
There was only one telescope in the entire capital, which did not allow Han Guan to be careless.
"Sir, what should I do with the prisoners?"
Mengcha asked.
Han Guan was not Zhang Fu. He liked to cut off people's heads for fun, so he ordered: "Arrange a thousand people to guard it until we kill Hu Du!"
After Meng Cha heard this, he turned around to make arrangements.
Jiang Chengzhou said worriedly: "Sir, we need to pursue immediately. Hu Du will definitely march to Zhennanguan. Zhang Fu has few people and is overturned.
Over the mountains and ridges, I am afraid that the already exhausted army may not be able to withstand the impact of Hu Du's army. "
Han Guan nodded solemnly and said: "March to Naliu and pursue Hu Du!"
When Han Guan led people into Naliu, Hu Du had already disappeared. What was left to Han Guan were just pieces of corpses. Whether they were women, children, old and young, or young men who were not taken away, they were all killed.
"Prefect Huang, I will leave you five hundred people, and I will leave this place to you."
Han Guan said with a murderous look on his face.
Huang Guangcheng did not refuse, and could not refuse. He led people to collect the corpses of the people, then found a field, dug a big pit, and buried them on the spot...
Meng Cha led two thousand vanguard troops to pursue Hu Du, but he underestimated Hu Du's courage and strategy. Hu Du did not rush straight to Zhennanguan in a hurry, but lurked in a mountain forest. When the army comes, they rush out in one fell swoop.
Rolling logs and thunder stones descended from the mountain.
Meng Cha, who had misjudged the situation, was embarrassed by Hu Du's sudden attack and suffered heavy losses. He left behind the corpses of more than 300 Ming troops and retreated hastily.
Hu Du followed the trend and chased Mengcha back for more than ten miles, killing nearly 800 Ming soldiers, and then quickly returned and headed straight for Zhennanguan.
Meng Cha's defeat forced Han Guan to change his strategy of rapid pursuit. An Pei was waiting to explore the mountains on both sides while advancing carefully. Such a marching speed can be imagined.
Although it was only thirty miles from Naliu to Zhennanguan, Han Guan's cautious marching speed, coupled with the harassment of Annan's rear troops, could only march more than ten miles in one day.
This means that Zhang Fu must guard Zhennan Pass for three days!
Three days, not long.
But for the small city gate of Zhennan Pass, it was fatal.
Zhang Fu stood on the tower of Zhennanguan, inspecting the city defenses, and ordered all cannons to be aimed at the area outside the city pass.
Wang Yuanxing patted Yuan Yue on the shoulder and said with a smile: "After this battle, you will be promoted to a thousand households. Do you want to treat your brothers to a big meal?"
Wang Yuanxing, Huang Gui and others are well aware of Yuan Yue's heroic performance. Zhang Fu knows people well and will never treat Yuan Yue badly.
"No matter what happens, if that day comes, I will try my best to make everyone drunk..."
"Then it's over, you'll be a pauper..."
Wang Yuanxing looked sad.
Yuan Yue spread his hands and asked, "How about you lend me some money?"
Wang Yuanxing rolled his eyes at Yuan Yue, then looked at the mountain road in the distance, his face became solemn, and said: "My wife and children are waiting for me to go home. Nanning Guard is waiting for us to go home. This battle will be very tragic." , I hope we can all go home!”
Yuan Yue took a deep breath and clenched his fists.
That's right, our family will never die here when we return home!
Therefore, Zhennanguan cannot be lost!
This battle will be extremely brutal.
Although the Zhennanguan City Tower is two-story and taller, the city wall is only one foot high. To put it bluntly, as long as you are ruthless and pile up ten layers of corpses, you can step on the corpses to climb the city wall!
For people in despair, they have no choice but to be ruthless and do whatever it takes.
"If I die, you go home for me!"
Wang Yuanxing had a low voice.
In the valley in the distance, countless crows soared into the sky, hovering in the air and lingering for a long time...
