Eight hundred and eighteenth chapters fight to stop the enemy
Shuotuo and Geng Zhongming agreed to a joint agreement and immediately ordered a baggage force of about 10,000 people to stay in Xiuyan and put out the remaining fires in the city, as a way to settle down.
Shuotuo, together with Geng Zhongming, led more than 80,000 subordinates to chase eastward and followed Haoge's troops.
Because Haoge and others were escorting the Seizure all the way east, the speed was not fast. At about dusk, a whistle driver suddenly saw a hurry to return from behind.
"Report! The commander, there are tens of thousands of Qing troops behind us, chasing our army quickly. The vanguard cavalry is less than three miles away from our army. The situation is extremely urgent, and I hope the commander will decide quickly!"
When Haoge heard the news, he felt that the air instantly solidified.
He was in a good mood and even thought that after returning to the boat, he had to drink two drinks well. His heart felt like the bottom of an ice lake, and instantly eliminated all the calories.
"You, what did you say?" Haoge asked back almost subconsciously.
"Report! The commander, tens of thousands of Qing troops followed behind him and were about to fight our army. We found that the Qing army was boundless and under the banner of Beileshotou and Huaishun King Geng Zhongming, the number of soldiers was too large, and it was difficult to count for the moment. The current situation is just afraid..."
Haoge frowned, his heart was irritable and worried. He waved his hand and signaled that the whistle driver would not have to say much. The whistle driver understood and immediately stepped back quickly.
At this moment, Haoge's heart felt an indescribable bitterness.
Damn, I really didn't expect that Geng Zhongming would return so quickly, and was just rushing to retreat to such an encounter with a huge gap in troops.
This, what should I do?
You should know that the enemy has tens of thousands of troops, and now there are only less than 3,000 troops, which is more than twenty times more than their own. With such a terrible comparison of military strength, even if the generals under his command are elite, they will hardly be opponents of the enemy.
Could it be that I and my subordinates all want to destroy this wilderness in southern Liaoning today?
If so, all the great achievements he had planned, and even the great dream of rebuilding the Qing Empire in the future, would have disappeared here.
For a moment, Haoge's face turned pale, and he was sad, but there was nothing to say about it.
Alas, if I had known this, why didn’t I evacuate early? Let’s take a step back, why didn’t I retreat early and return to Jinzhou after taking over Zhuanghe?
Now that I think about it, how can I regret it?
Just as Hauge sighed at a loss, there was an instant visible movement on the horizon in the distance.
He was surprised to see that a thin black line seemed to emerge from the horizon in the distance, twisting and struggling, as if there was life. Gradually, the black line became thicker and longer, and in a very short time, it turned into countless neat soldiers and horses.
These soldiers and horses were dense and full of momentum, facing the direction they were traveling, and they also began to quickly move towards their own direction, running all the way.
When Haoge gritted his teeth, he wanted to order the entire army to prepare for the death battle with the enemy, he saw Oboi, who was leading the cavalry in front, rushing back quickly.
When Oboi saw Haoge, he immediately shouted: "Prince Su, tens of thousands of enemy troops are coming, and our army is weak. How can it be its opponent? What can Prince Su have to deal with it?"
Haoge looked at Obai's pale face, his heart was as painful as a knife, and he couldn't help but sigh.
Now that things have come, I and my subordinates are in danger. Even though I am the chief general, how can I do what I can do to save such a defeat?
The only way to do this is to fight to the death, hoping to survive in the death and finally break through.
Haoge is worthy of being a veteran on the battlefield. Faced with such an unfavorable situation, he gritted his teeth and kept silent, trying to control the ups and downs in his heart, and then issued an order in a deep voice.
"Obai! The enemy's rank is chasing, and our army is hard to get rid of. You should lead the troops to retreat first, and I will cut off the back personally!" The cold light in Haoge's eyes shook, and he gritted his teeth and wanted to turn his horse's head.
"No! No! Prince Su, you are the leader of the entire army and the only hope to revive the Qing Dynasty in the future. You must not lose it here! Please ask Prince Su to quickly withdraw the guards of our headquarters first. I will lead all the remaining troops to cut off the rear and intercept them. I will certainly have the ability to escape from danger!"
Oboi tightly held Haoge's horse head reins, shouting these words to Haoge with a ferocious look on his face, but also loyally on his face.
Haoge was secretly happy, hum, what you want is your words.
However, on the surface, he still looked sad and reluctant, and even tears began to flash in his eyes. He clenched Oboi's shoulders and said in a trembling voice: "Oboi, no, you are my confidant who has been following me for many years. How can I reach you in such a dangerous situation? Let the king come to cut off the rear, and you will lead your troops to retreat first..."
"Don't say it! I will cut off the rear, and Prince Su and his guards will retreat immediately!" Before Haoge finished speaking, Oboi interrupted his words: "Keep the green mountains there, and you are not afraid of burning firewood! As long as you can protect Prince Su, all the soldiers of the army will have hope. It is also very desirable to restore the Qing Dynasty in the future. Oboi is very kind to Prince Mengsu, and he cannot repay him. Today, we will be here to repay Prince Su's gratitude. What's more, a servant is a cheap life. Even if he dies in battle, how can he cherish it!"
After Oboi said that, tears flashed in his eyes. He turned his head hard and shouted at the soldiers: ""Everyone obeys the order! And follow the general to intercept the Qing cavalry, and must work hard to ensure that Prince Su retreat smoothly! Do you understand!"
"Get orders!"
The subordinates roared together, pulled their horses and followed Oboi, immediately formed a formation on the spot, ready to intercept back to the death. A large number of Qing cavalry rushed like a tide.
Seeing Oboi resolutely stopping without saying anything, leading all his subordinates to fight to the death for himself, Haoge felt very complicated inside, and could not say whether he was relieved or sad. He had tears in his eyes and his throat surged, but he could not say much.
"Prince Su, go quickly, don't let the sacrifice I wait for is wasted!" Seeing that Haoge was not moving, Oboi urged him again.
Haoge nodded with sobs, then glanced at Obai's majestic figure. Without saying anything, he shouted for a long time, and then slammed the horse's belly and accelerated the escape from the battlefield with more than a hundred elite cavalry guards.
After Haoge and his guards retreated from a distance, thousands of Qing cavalry that rushed like dark clouds quickly rushed about five hundred steps away from Oboi's formation.
Here, they quickly divided into two parts, like two sharp black arrows, each turning to the side, preparing to fiercely attack the wings of the Oboi formation.
The horse's hooves rumbled, and the cavalry assault battle formation consisting of 5 Baihuayala soldiers, 20 vest cavalry and 20 Mongolian cavalry, formed into a semicircle and rushed from the right side of the battle formation listed by Oboi!
What they chose was the most vulnerable place in the Oboi army formation.
Obai knew very well about the intentions of the Qing army. The huge impact force of these Qing cavalry who were yelling at high speed would often cause a blow to collapse on the flanks.
A large number of enemy cavalry rushed towards him, Obai's face was full of ferocious expressions. He shouted to his subordinates: "Grandma, the main force of the Qing army's cavalry rushed towards us. Humph, they wanted to swallow us like soft buns, but they didn't know that we were a loud copper pea, and were about to explode its dog teeth! Brothers, it's time to make contributions, fuck you, form a formation, and prepare immediately! All the cavalry will follow our generals to fight against the enemy Qing soldiers, and must interrupt their charge!"
After Monk An finished shouting loudly, his subordinates roared together and immediately began to prepare. More than a thousand cavalrymen immediately gathered urgently and quickly formed an assault team.
The enemy was approaching, and everyone in Manzhou infantry on both sides was full of fanaticism, and quickly formed a semicircular military formation with the blade facing outwards. Heavy weapons such as tiger swords, tiger spears, and long-handled knives in their hands were even tightly held.
Seeing that Oboi's troops had formed circular formations on both sides to fight the enemy, the Qing cavalry, who had been rushing forward, knew that if they wanted to defeat them, they had to rush forward faster. As long as they fully accelerated and started charging, even if the enemy infantry had complete protection, even if they formed the strongest circular formation with the strongest defense ability, it would be difficult to stop its huge impact.
Seeing that the Qing cavalry was about to rush to the scene, the Oboi army formation waved the flags and the cavalry led by Oboi himself, who were posing in a wedge-shaped battle formation, finally showed their sharp fangs towards the Qing cavalry that rushed over.
"Everyone has it, charge horizontally, and break the enemy cavalry!"
Oboi's loud shout caused a burst of high roar from his cavalrymen.
Trot, speed up, and rush forward!
The Qing cavalry rushing towards him in sharp arrows, when he saw Oboi personally commanding a large number of cavalry to rush, he couldn't help but subconsciously slow down. Another group of Qing cavalry attacking the other side, seeing a sudden change in the other side, also slowed down greatly.
Shuotuo, the leader of the Qing army who was watching the battle from a distance, could not help but look regretful when he saw the cavalry in his side suddenly slowed down.
Because he knew that if his assault team, which had all the elite cavalry, did not accelerate sufficiently, and if they collided with the opponent's cavalry or infantry, it would undoubtedly greatly reduce the impact effect.
However, even so, the strong impact of a large number of Qing cavalry was also very impressive.
The Qing cavalry on the flank of the other side of the defenders collided with their formation, about 70 or 80 Manzhou infantrymen could not dodge and were instantly knocked away by war horses. These people were hit by huge momentum and flew into the air like paper. Then they screamed and drew an arc, and fell heavily from the air to the ground.
There were about 200 other Manzhou infantry soldiers who were immediately knocked to the ground. Several of the overwhelmed team members were seriously injured in their organs and lying on the ground to vomit blood. When they were struggling to get up, the horse hooves of the Qing army quickly stepped on the seriously injured infantry and stomped their chests. The terrifying sound of bursting human belly and intestines mixed with the screams of the defenders' dying, which made people feel palpitations.
The fierce attack of the Qing cavalry caused heavy losses to the defenders who had formed a round formation.
However, at the same time, the defenders formed a round formation also hedged against the Tartar cavalry, causing fatal damage.
A guard general roared loudly, and the tiger spear in his hand pierced the neck of a Bai Zhuyala soldier's mount. The bloody tiger spear tip came out fiercely from the back of the horse's neck. The war horse made an intermittent neighing, raised its four hooves high, and then fell to the ground, breaking the Bai Zhuyala soldier's thigh on the horse's back. He screamed strangely, but it was difficult to break free from the horse's corpse.
Another defender was even more brave. The moment the Tartars rushed over, he shouted loudly and jumped up on the ground. The tiger sword in his hand was quickly cut out. A white light flashed by, and the neck of a vest soldier was immediately cut off by the sharp tiger sword. The ugly head of the Qing cavalry rushed into the sky with the gushing blood. The horse that lost control, with the headless cavalry, rushed forward for a long distance. The headless corpse fell backwards from the horse and was dragged to the top of the ground by the horse.
After rescuing the initial fierce attack of the Qing cavalry, the remaining defenders also fully released their combat potential in order to survive. They slashed and killed the horse's head, slashed the horse's legs, stabbed the horse's belly, and howled wherever the swords and guns went.
The Qing cavalry, who had been blocked by forcibly blocking the impact, fought against the infantry with a slug-fighting attack, so they had no intention of fighting, and they pulled their horses and turned around, leaving the stalemate with the rampant team, ready to launch a charge attack again.
At this time, the cavalry attacked by Oboi's troops finally quickly strangled together with the Qing cavalry that was rushing over.
The heavy rumbling sound of horse hooves sounded densely like a bean, and countless flying horse hooves moved the earth like drums. The man and horse were all accelerated, and the cavalry of the Oboi army rushed to the slowing force, giving a heavy blow to the Qing cavalry.
Nearly a thousand Manzhou cavalry formed a wedge-shaped battle formation, like a knife cutting butter, passing through the Qing cavalry formation fiercely. Those who blocked were killed and those who touched were injured. At least one hundred Tartars were seriously injured in this terrible moment. After rushing through the Qing cavalry formation, all Manzhou cavalrymen broke out a wide bloody path from the entire Qing cavalry formation.
As the cavalry under Oboi was well prepared and well-equipped, only dozens of people fell to the ground and died, and the entire formation was kept intact.
"My boys, do a good job! Follow my orders and fight to the death, you must hold them back and fight to the death with these bastards!" Seeing that his blow was successful, Oboi yelled excitedly and cheered loudly at his soldiers.
The cavalry under his command were also excited and shouting louder, fighting with the Qing cavalry surrounding him from all directions.
However, the short-term advantage of the troops under the Oboi army was like a sunset. As a large number of enemy infantry arrived and surrounded their troops from all directions, the situation instantly became extremely critical.
When he saw the Qing army rushing towards him like surging waves, he had already surrounded himself and his subordinates and could not escape, Obai understood that the last time he belonged to him was finally here.
