Tan Wen patted his chest and said loudly: "Since Mr. Li didn't say anything, I will take the initiative to volunteer to fight."
The herald officer showed an indifferent expression: "It's all right. You three are brothers anyway! We share the merits and the faults together!"
After these troops joined the battlefield, the pressure on the White Spear Soldiers increased suddenly.
As time goes by, the physical strength of the White Spear Soldiers is about to reach its limit.
They are too tired.
Not only did they have to fight for days without any rest, but they also had to resist enemies that were several times their number.
"Anyone who breaks through the enemy's line of defense will be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver and be granted the hereditary title of a thousand households!" The Dashun soldiers who were charging heard the news.
"Charge! Fight with the Ming army!"
"The opportunity to make achievements has come, brothers, follow me!"
The Shun army rushed towards the White Spear Soldiers like a tide.
In ancient wars, there were four highest honors in military exploits, namely being the first to reach the enemy line, breaking through the enemy lines, beheading the general, and capturing the flag.
Xiandeng means being the first to climb the enemy's city wall, and Xianzhen means being the first to rush into the enemy's position.
To kill a general is to rush into the enemy's commander or general and kill him.
Capturing the flag means capturing or destroying the enemy's central flag.
No matter what kind of military merit it is, it is an opportunity for ordinary soldiers at the bottom to turn their lives around forever.
The Dashun soldiers stared with red eyes and pounced on the Baigan soldiers like wild beasts.
The position of the White Spear Soldiers began to waver.
Just when the White Spear Soldiers were about to be defeated, Qin Liangyu came to the army on horseback with a spear in hand.
Qin Liangyu was born in the second year of the Wanli reign and was already 71 years old at this time.
Although he wanted to kill the thief, his body couldn't take it anymore.
Therefore, since the war began, she has spent most of her time commanding operations in the camp and rarely goes to the battlefield to kill the enemy.
Today is a battle of life and death, and she must go to the battlefield in person to boost morale.
When the White Spear Soldiers saw Qin Liangyu coming, they were shocked and began to roar under the leadership of their generals.
"The Ming army is mighty!"
"The Ming army is mighty!"
"kill!"
The Ming army and the Shun army were once again engaged in a bitter battle.
After a while of fighting, the scout rushed to Li Zicheng, knelt on one knee and said, "Report! Zhang Xianzhong's troops in the south of the city seem to have retreated."
"What? Say it again!"
"According to the cavalry on guard in the east and west of the city, they saw Zhang Xianzhong's troops in the south of the city being defeated. Some of them fled in all directions, while others broke out towards the deep mountains in the east."
"That son of a bitch Zhang Xianzhong actually ran away without telling me, he deserves it..." Li Zicheng started cursing.
Before Li Zicheng could finish his scolding, another scout rushed into the tent and said, "Your Majesty, we have discovered a Ming cavalry unit in the east and west of the city, with a total of about 10,000 people."
"Who is the leader?"
"Li Xingzhong."
"It's okay," Li Zicheng was not panicked.
He was not only the Emperor of Dashun, but also an excellent general. Although he could not remain calm in the face of a huge disaster, he could still remain calm.
"We, the Dashun cavalry, have no chance to participate in the battle. Today, let Li Xingzhong see what the Dashun elite are."
"Gao Yigong, you lead your 6,000 cavalry to the east of the city to stop the enemy; Hao Yaoqi, you lead your 5,000 cavalry to the west of the city to stop the enemy."
"The rest of the troops should be on high alert to prevent a surprise attack by the Ming cavalry."
"Yes, sir!"
Gao Yigong and Hao Yaoqi rushed out of the tent with command arrows and led their troops out of the camp.
The two armies soon met.
Gao Yigong met Cha Binxun, and Hao Yaoqi met Li Xingzhong.
The two armies lined up to face each other.
After seeing clearly that the opponent was Hao Yaoqi, Li Xingzhong did not rush to order an attack, but recalled the booklet given to him by Chongzhen.
The above records the personalities of the Dashun generals and their styles of leading troops in battle.
That was a booklet produced by the Embroidered Uniform Guard at great expense.
In Chongzhen's words, the tactics formulated by a general are closely related to his personality and fighting style.
If you can guess the opponent's tactics in advance, your chances of winning will be greatly increased.
Hao Yaoqi has a rough but meticulous character. He is daring and aggressive in battle and is known for his ferocity.
Li Xingzhong thought for a moment and waved his hand: "Send 500 cavalry to lure the enemy."
After seeing the Ming cavalry marching out, Hao Yaoqi also waved his hand and said, "Send out 500 cavalrymen."
A thousand cavalrymen engaged in a guerrilla battle in the open area west of the city.
The advantages of the Shun Army cavalry are their rich battlefield experience and abundant physical strength.
The advantages of the Ming cavalry were their well-equipped equipment and the fact that they were fearless like a newborn calf.
The two sides were evenly matched in the fight.
After seeing the strength of the Ming cavalry, Hao Yaoqi breathed a sigh of relief.
Li Xingzhong’s background on the Ning Army.
He was beaten by the Guanning Cavalry in the Battle of Beijing, and later in the Battle of Damingfu he did not gain the upper hand against Li Xingzhong.
This time when they met outside Chengtian Mansion, he felt somewhat cautious.
After all, the equipment of this cavalry is almost exactly the same as that of the Guanning Army.
After fighting for a while, Li Xingzhong continued to order: "Send another 500 cavalry to support."
Hao Yaoqi then gave the order: "Send 500 cavalrymen to fight the enemy."
As time goes by, both sides continue to escalate the situation.
When there were only 2,000 cavalrymen around him, Li Xingzhong suddenly gave the order: "Send another 500 cavalrymen to the battle, and this time my flag bearers will go with them."
Everyone was stunned.
On the battlefield, people recognize flags but not people!
If something happens to the flag bearer, the soldiers will think that something happened to the commander.
Without a leader, the group is doomed to fail.
"General, I..." The flag-bearing soldier felt that what he was carrying behind him was not a flag, but a mountain, which made him unable to breathe.
"Go with confidence, they will protect your safety." Li Xingzhong said, pointing at the more than fifty heavily armored cavalrymen around him.
