Seeing the Ming army approaching, Nayan was forced to draw his sword and order his troops out of formation. The Yuan soldiers instantly poured onto the battlefield like a flood.
The warriors of both sides collided with each other in the blink of an eye, and for a moment the sky seemed to change like the wind and clouds. Under the sudden spring breeze, the sand and dust on the ground were blown up, and the soldiers of both sides fought desperately in the rolling smoke and dust.
Under the sword light and sword shadow, the killing sound shook the sky, among the corpses all over the field, blood flowed everywhere, at any moment someone was being killed or chopped to death, there were both Yuan people and Ming people, on this meat grinder-like battlefield, no one dared to speak of life or death...
"Great General! The Duke of Nanxiong has already torn open a breach in the enemy's formation!"
"General! The enemy's iron cavalry has bypassed our defensive lines on both flanks and is charging straight at the front of our central army!"
"General! I'll protect you, let's get to the big tent first, we've got this side covered!" Xu Sheng heard that the Northern Yuan cavalry had actually surrounded their own general, and he couldn't stay calm anymore. Thinking of the general's safety, he should send him away now.
"What's the panic? Isn't this his usual way of fighting? You're usually so carefree, how come you're so timid today?" Xu Da's serious face didn't budge at all, instead he seemed to be teasing Xu Sheng.
"This isn't my first time participating in a large-scale battle, and your safety is the most important thing. I think I should escort you back to the main camp." Xu Sheng still insisted on letting Xu Da leave this place, although there were guards in the middle army now, but he was afraid of unexpected accidents, and on the battlefield, stray arrows were everywhere, if something happened to the general, he would not be able to bear it.
"What nonsense! My soldiers are fighting to the death here, how can I, as a commander, be so cowardly and timid? And aren't my two wing guards supposed to protect me from enemy attacks?" Xu Da rebuked, still standing on the chariot with his sword in hand, gazing out at the intense battle unfolding in the center of the battlefield.
At this time, the 30,000 Northern Yuan cavalry that had bypassed the two wings of the Ming army and rushed to the front of the central army formation had just encountered the Imperial Guard. The two cavalry forces instantly charged into the left and right guard armies of the central army, one side charging forward and the other blocking the enemy, and the left and right guard armies desperately resisted the advancing footsteps of the Yuan army.
These thirty thousand northern Yuanying cavalry were specially arranged by Nierbuhe, and as Xu Da said, in the previous battle, the Yuan army often used this kind of encircling and charging tactics to take advantage of their horseback riding skills. This not only made the frontline generals worry about the main general being injured and losing heart for battle, but also took advantage of the situation to disrupt the enemy's formation, truly a tried-and-true method.
Now the cavalry advancing in two routes are gritting their teeth and desperately approaching Xu Da's command flag. Nierhe Dabao gave them a death order, even if they had to sacrifice all 30,000 men to kill their way to Xu Da's front line, and especially to cut off the central army commander flag that was fluttering in the wind. In this way, the Ming army would definitely suffer a great loss of morale, collapse and be defeated!
Having taken over as the Grand Marshal of the Cavalry, Hammer swore to complete this task at all costs. The scene of Mana's death was still vivid in his mind. He wanted revenge for Mana, and he wanted revenge for the tens of thousands of Northern Yuan brave warriors who had died!
"Kill!" He yelled hoarsely, swinging his saber to knock down a Ming soldier who was charging over, staring at Xu Da on the distant horse-drawn carriage, he gritted his teeth and continued to fight desperately.
"Zhu Neng! Hurry up and lead the men to the left to block the gap! Keep this group of cavalry outside!" The commander of the Left Wing Guard shouted.
Zhu Neng hastily led his two thousand men to fill the gap, while Zhang Feng charged into the enemy ranks with a new sword he had obtained from the military supplies officer. This sudden move frightened Chen Feng and his men. Unlike the previous battle at Gaozhou City, this was a real battlefield where both sides clashed in a fierce fight. The enemy would not be easily slaughtered like fish on a chopping board. Small-scale battles were the norm, and Zhang Feng's solo charge seemed more like seeking death.
"Zhang Feng! Come back here!" No matter how loudly Chen Hua shouted, Zhang Feng seemed not to have heard and continued to move forward without hesitation.
"Brothers! Kill this madman!" The Yuan army was enraged when they saw Zhang Feng daring to charge into their crowd alone, and they had never seen anyone so bold and reckless before. For a moment, the surrounding Yuan army swarmed up to make this rash Ming soldier regret his actions.
The sword light cut through the armor, and under the shadowy changes, Zhang Feng had already killed the enemy army that surrounded him. The flying blood splashed onto his face, and his eyes, filled with anger, stared tightly at the Yuan people around him. 'Father! Mother! All my relatives! Today I will avenge you!'
"Kill!" With a loud shout, Zhang Feng charged towards a Yuan soldier with his sword. In the midst of their clash, the tip of his sword pierced the Yuan soldier's neck, and as he withdrew it, he slashed another Yuan soldier's throat. He then raised his sword like a knife and furiously chopped another Yuan soldier in half.
In an instant, Zhang Feng killed three people and finally caught the attention of the Yuan army. A hundred households leader waved his hand, and dozens of people rushed up to end him. Seeing the Yuan soldiers rushing up with their guns, Zhang Feng did not retreat but instead charged forward to meet them head-on.
"Ah!"
"Kill him!"
"Hurry! Hold him under his ribs!"
One fist is hard to contend with four hands, facing a dozen or so long guns surrounding Zhang Feng, he was finally propped up in the air by someone's gun, and under him, the straight space between the guns was waiting for Zhang Feng to fall and stab him full of holes.
The helmet was knocked off, the hair bun was scattered, and Zhang Feng's feet were crossed under him as he exerted himself to kick out horizontally. He flew out and knocked over a Yuan soldier, but also escaped disaster. He swung his sword to kill the Yuan soldier who had been knocked to the ground by him, wiped away the blood from the corner of his mouth, and stared fixedly at the enemy army rushing towards him.
While fighting against the Yuan army, Zhu Neng looked at Zhang Feng's solitary bravery but couldn't support him. At this moment, they were struggling to block the Yuan cavalry's charge, let alone counterattack to rescue Zhang Feng. In his heart, Zhu Neng silently sighed, how could a good seedling be so reckless and rush into the enemy lines alone...
Xu Da, who was standing high and looking down at the battlefield, suddenly saw a commotion in the left guard of the Yuan army. When he focused his attention, he found that it was Zhang Feng fighting desperately.
"Isn't that the treasure you mentioned the other day? How come he's acting so recklessly, as a general of the vanguard, not even coordinating with his subordinates to fight together, yet charging into the enemy formation alone. Is he trying to be a lone hero or something? But indeed, he's extraordinary and brave, despite being surrounded by the Yuan army on all sides, they still can't take him down." Xu Da observed for a while before losing interest, only disapproving of Zhang Feng's recklessness, not worthy of being called a talented person like Xu Sheng.
"General, you don't know this, but my younger brother grew up alone on Wudang Mountain after his family was slaughtered by the Yuan people. Although he's usually smiling and easy-going, whenever he mentions the Yuan people, he becomes a different person - cold-blooded and ruthless, not to mention his ferocity is no less than that of veteran soldiers who have been through many battles. It's because he wants to stay in the north to kill the Yuan people that he didn't want to follow General Mo to your mansion as a housekeeper." Xu Sheng hastily explained, "When facing one's parents' enemies, unless someone is naturally cold-blooded, it's impossible for anyone to remain calm..."
