Chapter 634 Remember, I Want to Live
Closer and closer, Prince Wuying Ajige looked at the guards camp which was just around the corner.
Near the camp, Merlin was leading hundreds of Mongolian soldiers to fight with the guards. When he saw Ajige rushing over, he waved his hand to make way.
Ajige thought he would be obstructed by the Guards, but when Merlin retreated, the group of Guards spearmen for some unknown reason actually retreated collectively into the camp.
"Is the enemy about to collapse?" Ajige suddenly thought of this.
This further strengthened his determination to charge into the enemy camp. If he led the charge and crushed the enemy's last counterattack, he would be credited with great merit in this battle, and perhaps even be promoted to prince.
Thinking of this, Ajige immediately shouted to the troops behind him:
"Charge the Ming army camp and capture the thief Zhang Shikang alive!"
These days, both Your Majesty and those brothers have been talking about Zhang Shikang all the time, which shows how great a threat this person poses to the Qing Dynasty.
Now, this thief is in prison. If we can capture him alive, it will be another great achievement for us.
He whipped his horse whip frantically, and came to the front of the heavy cavalry camp, and gradually rushed to the front.
All the cavalrymen charged forward frantically, their horses raising dust that swept all the way from outside the Guards camp to inside, and the momentum was like a whirlwind sweeping away all the debris.
As soon as the cavalry rushed into the camp, Ajige immediately saw Zhang Shikang.
It’s not that Ajige’s eyesight is good, but Zhang Shikang is just too dazzling. His golden armor sparkles in the last rays of sunset, making him look like a conspicuous bag.
Zhang Shikang, wearing golden armor, sat on an ordinary wooden chair. He held the Emperor's Sword between his legs, with his hands on the hilt. He looked straight at Ajige with a smile on his lips, as if welcoming his arrival.
On both sides of Zhang Shikang, Xu Wenyuan and Sun Dasheng each led a thousand Guards musketeers, forming an eight-shaped formation to protect Zhang Shikang on both sides.
In front of Zhang Shikang, there was a large open space.
Ajige's eyes suddenly burst into intense sparks, with cruelty and excitement dancing together, as if military success was within his grasp, so much so that Ajige actually ignored the obviously uneven open space in front of him.
Following the orders from Xu Wenyuan and Sun Dasheng, the musketeers on both sides began to raise their guns. Ajige's attention was immediately attracted by the musketeers, and he had no time to observe the ground.
"Charge! Go straight to Huanglong!" Ajige raised his sword high, but deliberately lagged behind the heavy cavalry.
Heavy armored soldiers can resist the threat of muskets to a certain extent. In order to increase his body flexibility, Ajige wore special cotton armor, whose defense power was between heavy armor and light armor.
The heavy cavalry quickly charged to a distance of more than twenty steps from Zhang Shikang, but suddenly a cry of surprise came from the heavy cavalry at the front.
Their horses stepped into a trench that had been camouflaged long ago and was deeper and wider than the outer trench. The horses were neighing, and some soldiers fell into the deep pit together, while others were thrown forward by the huge inertia.
"Ready! Release!"
Bang-bang-bang-bang-bang-bang
The musketeers on both sides opened fire at Ajige in front and side almost at the same time. Coupled with the panic after falling into the trench, Ajige's more than 1,000 Eight Banners warriors suddenly became chaotic.
Xu Wenyuan and Sun Dasheng were also very cunning. Almost all the musketeers aimed at the enemy's horses.
There is no advantage in a fight between infantry and cavalry, but if the cavalry loses its charging speed and gets too close to the opponent, making it difficult for the horse to turn around, the cavalry will choose to dismount and fight on foot.
This is the effect that Xu Wenyuan and Sun Dasheng want.
After two rounds of volleys, the two thousand musketeers did not choose to reload ammunition, but threw their muskets to the ground and drew their swords.
"Protect the Marshal, kill!" Sun Dasheng roared and rushed forward.
Zhang Shikang enjoyed supreme prestige in the Guards, so Sun Dasheng didn't need to say anything, and two thousand musketeers rushed forward with roars.
While the two sides were engaged in a melee, the personal guard commander Hong Xiucheng immediately took over Zhang Shikang's security work with hundreds of personal guards.
In addition to the subordinates of Sun Dasheng and Xu Wenyuan, half a minute later, Cao Bianjiao got the news from somewhere and led two or three hundred heavily armored soldiers to rush over.
A moment later, Niu Gang and Qi Dazhu each led their fifty personal soldiers to provide reinforcements.
Zhang Shikang knew that they must be worried about him taking risks, so he didn't say anything.
Although the situation seems critical, Zhang Shikang and Zhu Cilang are both here, which makes the guards united and have extremely strong morale and defense.
This is why the various armies still have enough energy to provide him with small-scale support.
At this time, Ajige immediately felt a little regretful. He didn't expect that the Ming army still had some spare strength, even though the front line had already become so bad.
Is this still the Ming army he knows?
How did they all change their appearance within three years, and how did they possess the same courage and fighting ability as their Eight Banners warriors?
Ajige had no time to think. He only knew that he was originally responsible for the raid, but now he seemed to be trapped.
Now thinking about the expression on that bastard Zhang Shikang's face just now, it was obvious that he had made preparations and was deliberately luring him over.
The group of enemy troops that fought Merlin may have retreated on purpose.
The enemy actually still has strength left at this time. Does that mean that the enemy has actually been hiding its strength?
this is too scary!
We must go back as soon as possible and tell Lao Ba the news. The enemy is obviously deliberately trying to stalemate with them and consume them with firearms.
They are so secure, they must have something to rely on, but they are still dreaming that the enemy will collapse immediately.
In addition, with such a close melee, it was difficult for the subordinates who had lost their charging speed to complete the assigned tasks.
Thinking of this, Ajige no longer expected anything else. He waved his hand, turned his horse around and wanted to leave.
However, he could not come and go as he pleased in the Guards' camp.
Niu Gang's hundred or so personal guards, holding steel crossbows, had already formed two rows and blocked the perimeter of the camp.
Qi Dazhu's hundred or so personal guards ran straight towards him. Those who were chosen to be personal guards were naturally outstanding in skills.
After Ajige's thousand men suffered a series of attacks, only about three hundred were left standing in just over a quarter of an hour.
"My dear...husband, I will go meet him."
Ma Lingqi, holding a silver spear, also stood beside Zhang Shikang to protect him. At this moment, she was full of fighting spirit.
During the two days of fighting, Zhang Shikang did not give her any chance to fight, but he still tortured her every night. You know, there were dozens of guards standing outside the tent.
But her husband never cared about this, which made Ma Lingqi very distressed. But now the enemy army rushed in, obviously wanting to kill her husband.
Although her husband was unruly, she was the only one who could teach him a lesson. This Tartar with a fierce face was too bold and did not take her seriously.
Zhang Shikang said nothing, but glanced at Hong Xiucheng.
Hong Xiucheng was the most powerful martial artist he had ever seen, and he wanted to judge whether it would be dangerous to let his wife take the lead.
However, Hong Xiucheng quickly nodded, as he felt that the Marshal had no idea about his woman's martial arts.
"Okay, I'll give you one chance. Remember, I want to live."
