Section 45 Breakthrough (Part 2)

"Don't be afraid, it doesn't matter!" After the initial shock, Zhang Yong immediately began to appease his subordinates who were a little turbulent: "General Wang's army of 10,000 has arrived, and it will be here soon!"

Zhang Yong first looked east, and the personal soldiers there were trying hard to resist the Ming army's attack, and the armored soldiers on the opposite side were twice that of the Qing army. Although most of the Qing army were inexperienced new soldiers, because of dozens of veterans from the personal soldiers as backbone, they not only did not suffer any losses, but could retreat in an orderly manner. Faced with the strict formation of the Qing army, the Ming army attacked along the river bank, and as the Qing army retreated step by step, the Ming army shouted loudly, and the Qing army took a step back and the Ming army followed.

Zhang Yong knew that the personal barracks that were fighting could not be allowed to escape from the battle immediately. Now, relying on the backbone veterans, 400 personal barracks could overcome their fear and obey orders. Once they retreated in a hurry under heavy pressure, their morale would immediately fall to the bottom, and the Ming army opposite would also rise greatly, rushing up to beat the dogs in the water.

Yuan Zongdi in the west had already turned to the defense, so Zhang Yong asked the escaped scattered soldiers to monitor Yuan Zongdi and pulled half of the elite soldiers to defend the flag. Zhang Yong made a quick decision. While the Ming army began to rectify the formation, Zhang Yong's tactical adjustment was also carried out quickly. Although the number of people was at an absolute disadvantage, Zhang Yong asked himself that after a long battle, he should be able to persevere until Wang Mingde and Yuan Jiawenbi came to reinforce him.

Opposite the Shaanxi Admiral's flag, Zuo You straightened his back and stared at the green flag tightly. The subordinates behind him were lined up in line. Taking advantage of this gap, Zuo You took out the kettle from his waist and drank a sip of water.

The clothes under the armor were completely soaked, and beads of sweat kept pouring out from under the helmet, forming a stream on the cheeks, gathering on the tip of the chin and dripping. As a sip of water penetrated into the abdomen, sweat seemed to be spraying out from the pores of the whole body at once. Under the thick armor, Zuo You felt that he was about to explode like a **.

In the battle against Tan Yi in Wanxian, Zuo You was one of Deng Ming's personal bodyguards. Wu San and Wu San and Zuo You all had a life-long friendship. When they met last time, these guys changed their names. It was said that it was from Admiral Deng. When they besieged Chongqing, Deng Ming also went to Yuan Zongdi's camp and chatted with Zuo You and several other people who fought side by side to drink and talk about the victory in Wanxian - that was the most memorable battle for Zuo You. However, Wu San and the others were more than that of Zuo You. Their war experience was much more exciting than Zuo You.

Although he was a little envious, Zuo You did not complain at all. Yuan Zongdi was his benefactor, and Dachang's companions still needed him. In the past three years, Yuan Zongdi promoted Zuo You to the position of Qian Zongdi, and helped him marry him with more than 100 soldiers from the main camp. Zuo You respected Deng Ming, but was grateful to Yuan Zongdi from the bottom of his heart. This was a benefactor who treated him well, cultivated him, and needed his life to repay him.

"Everyone - look right." Seeing that his subordinates were basically all here, Zuo You issued a command. These commands were also taught by Deng Ming to the Wanxian Army. Wu Yuewang also ran to Zuo You's team in person to help him get familiar with the commands and train soldiers. The effect was also very good, which made Zuo You fall in love with this set of commands at once.

"Rotate along my arm." Zuo You stretched out his arms and asked the soldiers of the team to adjust the angle. The other team officials also used the same command as Zuo You to adjust the formation. Soon the main battalion adjusted to a neat front in the direction of Zhang Yong.

Zuo You also heard of his great name in front of him. Zhang Yong was Yuan Zongdi's old opponent. According to Yuan Zongdi, this person was not only experienced, but also had first-class escape skills. From the 14th to 16th, the camps in Chongzhen sent three annihilation strikes to the Qin army in Henan. The Qin army lost as many as 200,000 troops in Henan. After Sun Chuanting gave the three border troops in Gansu, Ningxia and Shaanxi to Li Zicheng twice, the grassroots officers of the Qin army were empty, and the Ming Dynasty turned countless times. The hereditary Qin army generals, officers and veterans were destroyed on the Henan battlefield, and Zhang Yong was an anomaly. The Qin army was repeatedly destroyed, but Zhang Yong was able to escape from heaven every time.

After Yuan Zongdi's old subordinates were exhausted in Huguang, Zhang Yong became an enemy that Yuan Zongdi would never dare to underestimate him anymore, because Zhang Yong was experienced and had an elite backbone who had accumulated from fighting in the north and south; while Yuan Zongdi became scarce because of his lack of materials, he could only protect himself and could not train his troops, let alone annihilate Zhang Yong's personal troops.

"If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I wouldn't be Zhang Yong's opponent." After the last battle in Chongqing, Yuan Zongdi said this to the officers of Zuo You and the main battalion: "Even if there are you, Zhang Yong should not be underestimated. If the number of people is equal, you will be at a disadvantage against Zhang Yong's personal battalion. But I heard that the elites he brought out for many years were annihilated by the admiral, that's fine, just like in Henan back then, why did we fight more smoothly and the Qin army fight weaker and weaker, because they were repeatedly annihilated by us."

The strong enemy in the mouth of the Enzhu was right in front of him. Zuo You and his colleagues were holding a sense of strength in their hearts, determined to use facts to prove that they were the stronger side: if even the personal soldiers of Zhang Yong rebuilt in this battalion could not be defeated, wouldn’t it be too disappointing to let Admiral Deng down?

"Go forward!" The drum sounded, Zuo You shouted loudly, and led his subordinates to strode forward, and his left and right wings also took steps at the same time.

"Capture Zhang Yong alive!"

"Capture Zhang Yong alive!"

I don’t know who shouted the first time first, and the whole camp immediately shouted this sentence rhythmically, including all the officers.

...

"Arrowman!"

Zhang Yong raised one arm high, and 300 personal soldiers rushed back to report to him. With these personal soldiers by his side, Zhang Yong suddenly became brave. He believed that the other half of the personal soldiers in the east would soon be able to retreat to the mountain he refused to defend. Once nearly a thousand personal soldiers were strictly guarding, Zhang Yong did not believe that Yuan's army had the strength to seize his position. Zhang Yong had just seen the level of Yuan Zongdi's guards. If the situation was not clear, Zhang Yong would even have the urge to counterattack and defeat the enemy - but the Ming army on the opposite side was very well equipped, which made Zhang Yong a little jealous.

After seeing the opponent's proficiency in rectifying the military formation, Zhang Yong suddenly felt uneasy: "Is this the guard of Yuan Zhe?"

When he saw that the equipment of this group of people seemed to be better than that of the troops around Yuan Zongdi, Zhang Yong was a little confused, but he did not think that Yuan Zongdi would be separated from the Guards, so he felt that there might be other reasons, such as the auxiliary soldiers who transported equipment to the Guards lost their way, resulting in the equipment being backward, or this was a group of suicide squads that were deliberately concentrated, or other reasons.

But Zhang Yong felt bad about the other party's military appearance. As the Ming army was in line, Zhang Yong determined that the other party was not only hundreds of well-equipped armored soldiers, but that the equipment of more than a thousand Ming army was all surpassing Yuan Zongdi's "guards".

"Shoot the arrow!" Zhang Yong waved his arm vigorously, and the Qing army's feather arrow shot out and fell on the head of the Ming army. However, the Ming army's actions did not stop at all and still maintained the original attack speed.

"Shoot!Shoot!"

The Ming army approached quickly, and Zhang Yong kept shouting. At this time, the Qing army's archers no longer had to shoot, but put their arms flat and aimed directly at the Ming soldiers who were walking up quickly.

The bows and arrows kept shooting at the front row of Ming soldiers. If the bows and arrows failed to pierce the helmets and armor, the Ming army that was hit would continue to advance without any trouble, and would not even look down at the hit parts, or pull out the feather arrows hanging on the armor.

"These are all soldiers who have been on the battlefield." Zhang Yong had already reached the conclusion, but he still felt that this was an incredible thing: "Three years ago, Yuan Zongdi fought Chongqing once, lost, and suffered heavy losses; two years ago, he also fought Huguang. Just these two times, how could he have so many veterans?"

Several Ming soldiers were severely injured by bows and arrows and fell to the ground with blood-spraying wounds, but their companions were still not affected at all.

"All of them have seen blood?" Zhang Yong knew that the first time the recruits saw blood, and when they saw people die, especially when their companions died, they would be greatly impacted. When the recruits first went to the battlefield, they often became dry and their mouths were dry as soon as they saw the enemy. When they saw Yuan Zongdi lined up, Zhang Yong could see that many soldiers had weak legs and their hands and feet trembled. Zhang Yong laughed secretly that this was the personal soldiers who had sex for ten days and had enough food and drink.

"Capture Zhang Yong alive!"

Ming Jun shouted the slogan last, and then changed it to a single-word shout.

"kill!"

"kill!"

"kill!"

After thirty steps into the Qing army's position, the Ming army rushed together and charged at full speed towards Zhang Yong. In a blink of an eye, they collided with Zhang Yong's personal soldiers.

Zhang Yong's personal soldiers in the front row did not move at all, resisted with their shields and swung their swords to fight back. The entire front line that was hit by the Ming army was also splattering blood. The roar of the shields collided with each other instantly suppressed the drum sound.

The sword light was flying in the air. Amid the sound of killing, Zhang Yong saw that some of his personal soldiers deployed in the back row began to tremble again. He saw with his own eyes that a new soldier who was in battle could not even lift his sword when the enemy rushed towards him. The soldier was slashed by the opponent's knife, his head was tilted on his shoulder, and he fell to the side; and the Ming army, who looked like a leader, even sprayed blood on his face and slashed at another Qing soldier like lightning.

"All of them have been killed?!" Looking at the hard-working front, Zhang Yong was completely stunned. The wail of the Qing general who was disguised as his armor was echoing in his head: "So amazing, really amazing!"

"Yuan Zongdi, do you know how to fight? Put the guards in the back army?" In the blink of an eye, dozens of personal soldiers were killed. Although the Ming army also fell, they were still as powerful as tigers. Obviously, the Ming army had killed people in this camp, and it was not only the individual officers who had seen blood.

Zhang Yong finally discovered that he, like Yuan Zong, misjudged the enemy's main attack direction, and even his mistakes might be even more serious.
