I saw that in the direction of Anshan Posthouse, the dust that had just fallen was flying all over the sky again. Just by looking at it, he knew that a large army was coming.
No matter what kind of army comes, be it cavalry or infantry, it will all kill the Qing warriors who leave the city!
Originally, Duduo thought that the Ming cavalry had already exceeded 30,000, and there would definitely be no more cavalry. The only ones who could come to Liaoyang were the infantry. However, due to the destruction of the road and the distance of sixty miles, the Ming infantry would have to wait until at least noon tomorrow if they wanted to reach Liaoyang.
But, obviously, he was wrong again!
When all the Jianlu soldiers leaving the city looked up in panic, they saw a group of cavalry appearing in their field of vision. The banner of the Hussars Battalion and a large banner with the word "Cao" fluttered in the wind, which made the already experienced Jianlu The captives came to the conclusion that they were cavalry troops belonging to the Hussars Battalion, commanded by General Cao. They immediately thought of Cao Bianjiao, a fierce general in the Ming army.
Thinking of this, their faces suddenly turned green. This Cao Bianjiao has stayed in Liaodong for a long time, and he is also famous for his bravery. Although he is not called crazy, he is not far behind.
They were right. This cavalry army belonged to Cao Bianjiao, who was guarding the infantry. He was already brave, and with the stimulation of being knighted by He Renlong and Hu Dawei, his level of bravery was even higher. . After receiving the order from Emperor Chongzhen that Jianlu wanted to escape from the city, he immediately led his troops to rush over and first cut off the escape route into the mountains and forests.
As soon as he saw the posture of the newly arrived cavalry army from the Ming Dynasty, Duduo knew that this Ming army could judge his own intentions as soon as they arrived. This was really like heaven destroying the Qing Dynasty!
Thinking like this, he stared at the banner with the word "Cao" in his blood-red eyes, and saw that the cavalry army separated on two sides to intercept the road to the mountains and forests. There were probably only more than 2,000 cavalry troops on one side, and on the Jianlu side, at least Twenty thousand horses escaped from the south gate.
After weighing it in his mind, he gave the order loudly and continued to break through!
And he himself didn't dare to stay on the top of the city anymore. He had to run away quickly, otherwise, he would not be able to leave!
So, under the protection of his personal guards, he forcibly jumped in line and squeezed out of the city gate first. However, before he had time to cross the suspension bridge, he heard all the Jianlu prisoners who had left the city before him fleeing back, while still shouting in panic: "The Ming infantry is coming, retreat quickly!"
"There are a lot of Ming infantry, go back to the city quickly!"
"..."
Hearing the sound, Duduo looked up, and sure enough, he saw the direction of Anshan Post. Sure enough, he saw the infantry of the Ming Dynasty. Not only on the official road, but also on the fields on both sides of the official road. It can be said that the mountains and plains are filled with Ming Dynasty soldiers. The infantry, like the waves seen on the seashore, were beating towards Liaoyang.
What's more important is that the tail can't be seen at all. Within the field of vision, it seems like an endless Ming Dynasty infantry. Just from this look, there are at least 20,000 infantry troops.
Among them, the flag of the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty was in the middle of this infantry, fluttering in the wind.
At this time, the Qing Dynasty was breaking out of the encirclement. They had no organization at all and just wanted to run towards the mountains and forests. If they were faced by the Ming Dynasty infantry, they would not be able to fight.
Duduo and the Jianlu who escaped had different reactions. They did not think about escaping back to Liaoyang City, but despaired. He knew in his heart that this battle was over!
"Master, return to the city quickly, we can't escape!"
"Oh no, Master, we have to go back to the city to put out the fire!"
"..."
Duduo's personal guards were also panicked. They reminded Duoduo in many directions, and many of them even panicked.
When Duduo heard this, he suddenly turned to look at his personal guard, his eyes were already blood red, and he shouted with a ferocious face: "It's over, it's over, I burned the city, can I still save it? So what if I save it, What’s the use of dying a few days later?”
Upon hearing his words, his personal guards immediately became quiet. In order to fear that the Ming army would extinguish the fire, all efforts were made. Now that the city has been burning for a long time, how can it be possible to put out the fire?
The most important thing is that the master is right. The chaos has become like this, and the food in the city has been distributed. Even if you escape back to the city, even if you can put out the fire, how many days can you hold on?
"Kill..."
The Ming army's shouts of killing, tens of thousands of people gathered together, were like thunder, exploding on the heads of every prisoner, waking them up in one fell swoop.
Looking up, the Ming infantry was almost reaching Liaoyang. The soldiers of the Qing Dynasty who had escaped outside the city were all blocked back, and there was no way they could escape.
At this time, all Qing warriors should just lie to ghosts. Almost all the soldiers of the Qing Dynasty fled back to Liaoyang City instinctively.
However, the road back to the city was crowded with people and was not smooth at all. In the panic, a stampede ensued.
Duduo's personal guards drew their swords and slashed at them, dragging Duduo to fight a bloody path, and fled to the city.
If you stay outside the city, you will die immediately. If you escape into the city, you may live a little longer.
The ants are still greedy for life, so they can live a little longer!
At this time, Emperor Chongzhen was far outside the city. Near him, although the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty were sweating from the march, everyone was in high spirits, clenched their weapons, passed their emperor, and continued to charge forward. It's like a giant wave, sweeping forward and destroying everything that might stand in its way.
Liaoyang City in the distance was already ablaze. Near the south gate, the Jianlu were all in chaos, and there was no sign of the former Jianlu at all. There is no such thing as being invincible in field battles. In fact, they are just ordinary people. They will still be killed and throw away their armor. No, they haven't even touched the battle yet. They are scared to the point of throwing away their armor and crying for their fathers and mothers.
Seeing this scene, Emperor Chongzhen felt proud.
This is an iron horse with a golden sword, capable of swallowing up thousands of miles like a tiger, killing the enemy until it is completely defeated!
nice!
However, Emperor Chongzhen was a little regretful. In this battle, he did not draw his sword in his hand. He pointed forward, and then the army attacked, killing the enemy until the enemy abandoned his armor. This is a bit unclassic!
Despite this, Emperor Chongzhen still smiled when he looked at Liaoyang City, obviously in a good mood!
He originally thought that Liaoyang City was an important military town in Liaodong, with tall and solid walls. There are about 30,000 captives guarding the city, and the slave chief guarding the city is the notorious Duduo. Why, he will defend to the death and live and die with Liaoyang, right?
Unexpectedly, Duduo committed suicide and turned what he thought would be at least a hard-fought breakout and counter-breakout into a completely one-sided battle.
Emperor Chongzhen had to admit that when the Jianlu Empire was over, all kinds of weird things could happen, and it should be considered reasonable, right?
Just as he was thinking about it, the forwards of the Ming army had arrived outside Liaoyang City. The fusiliers and archers were harvesting the crops with "swish, swish, swish" like they were hunting sheep. prey.
Near the south gate of Liaoyang City, there were densely packed heads.
The Jianlu outside the city wanted to escape back, but the Jianlu in the city were driven out by the fire. There were even Jianlu jumping down from the top of the city.
Messy, very messy, very messy!
The moat outside the city is already full of people, including corpses and living ones. The moat is stained with blood!
It can be said that the number of Jianlu who were actually shot and killed by Ming army soldiers is estimated to be less than one percent. Most of the casualties were caused by Jianlu's panic.
Looking at all this, Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but lament the classic saying: Even if there are 30,000 pigs, the army will definitely take a long time to kill them, right? However, more than half of the Jianlu in front of them were already dead or injured without even taking any action!
After watching it for a while, Emperor Chongzhen felt it was boring. The city of Liaoyang was burned and must be rebuilt. It would be a pity if these builders died. At least it still has value, right?
With this in mind, he issued an edict: "Shout, and those who surrender will not die!"
Then, a sky-shaking roar rang out: "He who surrenders will never die!"
This shout was like the sound of nature. When Jianlu, who was already in despair, heard it, he dropped his weapons and knelt on the ground.
Seeing Jianlu's trembling body and sticking out Lao Gao's butt, the soldiers of the Ming army suddenly felt a little unbelievable. Is this the Jianlu who once killed the imperial army and defeated it? Is this the Jianlu who once dominated Liaodong and was even invincible in the pass?
There is obviously no need to answer this answer. The officers and soldiers of the Ming army also immediately realized that it was their emperor who changed everything and made them very strong. The once powerful Jianlu became a beggar who was now trembling in fear in front of them.
Thinking of this, they all turned to look at their emperor, looking at the wise and mighty emperor riding on the horse. In unison, they shouted in unison: "Long live my emperor..."
While shouting, the infantry all knelt down on one knee to show respect to their emperor in the most respectful way.
The cavalry officers all dismounted and knelt down on one knee to express their love and admiration for the emperor.
Seeing this scene, all the imperial guards guarding Emperor Chongzhen knelt on one knee. At this moment, only their emperor can enjoy such respect, including their respect!
At this moment, there was only one sun outside Liaoyang City, not the one hanging in the sky, but Emperor Chongzhen riding on a horse!
A man should be a real man!
I have to say that Emperor Chongzhen also enjoyed this moment. He firmly believed that he would lead the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty and continue to win one victory after another! No matter whether the opponent is Jianlu, Japanese, or Xiyi, all enemies will be trampled under his feet.
The Ming Dynasty will be the most powerful country on earth, bar none!
Afterwards, the officers and soldiers of the Ming army began to recruit the surrendered soldiers. Although it was getting dark, the blazing torches illuminated Liaoyang City like daylight again.
When the car camp caught up later, they could only see this scene.
Yes, it is so easy to fight with the emperor! They even had some doubts in their hearts, was this a war, a decisive battle to regain Liaodong and fight against the Jianlu?
