Chapter One Thousand and Sixty-Seven: People Turned on Their Backs
Good fellow, just look at the twenty-headed monsters wearing oversized cotton jackets in the ice and snow, how much silver does that winter coat cost alone? As soon as they were pulled out, they put down a piece of Qing cavalry, many people's war horses have never seen this thing, the war horses are not dry, no matter how the master whips, a vigorous patting of the horse's neck to tell them that the opposite side is really not a monster, just some mascots who are afraid of being drilled by the guinea pig. But the war horse can't understand it, and even if it does, he doesn't believe it. So they turned around and ran with their masters, and turned all the knights into matadors, bumping and jumping on the backs of their horses, and these knights might be good enough to go to the palace when they got home.
The war horses in the front row of the Qing army were all frightened, and it was a great luck to be able to jump back with their masters, and there were not a few who jumped half of their masters and threw their masters down, and there were not a few who directly collided with the cavalry behind them. Although the Qing army's horses were fast, they only saw people turning over on their backs in front of the battle.
The school training guard began to break away from the phalanx and launched a counterattack, but it was not a hedge with the cavalry of the Qing army, and the school training guard no longer had the space and time to speed up the war horse. Taking advantage of the confusion of the Qing cavalry, they rained down on the cavalry, and soon after, the Portuguese artillery, who had re-established their positions, also beat the water dogs at the group of cavalry.
This Qing army had no more chance, and the rain of arrows and shells fell in their ranks, and the front and rear teams trampled and crowded each other, making it difficult for the army to advance. No matter how much you want to find the main general, Mulima is now working as a burrito in the trunk of an elephant. After leaving behind more than 3,000 corpses, the cavalry also fled back to their own team, and the three cavalry that attacked from the front had all been defeated.
Chen Wanluo's attack on the flank of the Ming army's formation met Qin Gongming's imperial camp Shizhu Army, which made Zhu Si so relieved that he did not issue further orders to the Shizhu Army at all. Even Qin Gongming did not give any instructions to his troops, and the entire Shizhu army formed a rectangular formation, which was lined up on the outermost flank of the Ming army's phalanx.
This is a prestigious team, and who in the Eight Banners doesn't know about the Stone Pillar Army? Even if they have never encountered it on the battlefield, people have heard their fathers say: "Children, the Ming army on this battlefield can be touched by anyone, but the Shizhu army is not a last resort, and you must not fight them." They once attacked our national capital Shengjing alone, and even Tiancong Khan turned around and ran away when he met them. As long as you encounter a phalanx composed of tall Ming troops with white poles, you must be careful, and it is best to walk around! ”
The soldiers of the Eight Banners were really obedient, and when they saw the gun forest composed of the Stone Pillar Army in front of them, they all automatically gave up the attack and began to walk around the battlefield. Only the Han commander, Chen Wanluo, did not know that the Manchurian cavalry behind him had changed. Alone wielding a nunchuck, he went up to 'ho ha' with the stone pillar army, and just danced and danced a few times, but not a single stone pillar army hit, and was provoked by someone's spear to be used as a kite in the air. Chen Wanluo's nunchucks were also lost, and he didn't 'hehehehe' anymore, and glanced at the Eight Banners Iron Rider who was standing on the side of the road eating melons and watching the excitement behind him, he felt lonely in his heart, and his body temperature gradually cooled down.
This group of Qing troops is the only one who retreated, but the saddest one is behind, Shuo Sai, who chose to be the last one for his own safety, led the army around the Ming army array to find the weakness, but what he didn't expect was that the weakness came to him. Before Shuo Sai could find his target, Zhu Si ordered Ma Wannian to lead all the 46,000 imperial cavalry in the phalanx to meet Shuo Sai's cavalry. Variety Literature
Ma Wannian was extremely excited after receiving the military order, brandishing a white pole gun and rushing out of the formation first, and all the royal cavalry also rushed out of the military formation, shouting and shouting to kill Shuosai. Shuo Saixin said: 'What's the matter, who is beating whom?' Seeing that there were several times more cavalry on the opposite side, it was impossible to escape, after all, he was a clan, and he definitely couldn't just run.
Shuo Sai had no choice but to charge at the Ming cavalry, which was several times his size, but the Qing army not only had few people, but also suffered a loss in horse speed. Just now, I was just playing, swaying and looking for a target. The imperial cavalry formed a phalanx on both flanks of Ma Wannian and rushed into it like an awl. On weekdays, Zhu Si always protects Ma Wannian and never lets him go into battle, and today there is no half-hanger around him who needs his protection, Ma Wannian finally proved that he is not only a brave man, but also a rare fierce general. The rainstorm pear blossom white pole gun handed down by Old Taijun Qin personally dragged the silver light in his hand, and the on-going enemy flew left and right, and all kinds of screams were endless.
However, the cavalry of the Qing Dynasty is not a nonsense, although Ma Wannian bravely crowned the three armies, but after all, there is only one Ma Wannian in the imperial cavalry, the cavalry of the Qing army in the inferior speed of the back, still a hedge to cut down more than 2,000 people of the Ming army, although they also threw down more than 1,000 corpses, but if it is the cavalry of the imperial camp that charges a little later, it will definitely not bring such a big casualty to the Qing army.
After turning the horse's head and hedging with the Ming army again, Shuo Sai led the team out of the battlefield. After fighting back and forth with more than 40,000 royal cavalry, Shuo Sai finally had an explanation for Dolgon and the entire family. Looking at the battlefield that had fallen silent, there were no more friendly troops, and Shuo Sai could only lead the remaining 8,300 men of his team back.
Shuo Sai was the only one who did not find the target of the attack, but was attacked by the Ming army. Not only that, but on the way back, he was also given off by the accurate artillery of the Western army. As soon as I got home and counted the number of people, there were only 7,000 left. In just over an hour, the Five Routes army was all defeated, losing more than 10,000 soldiers, and after the specific data of the battle situation was reported, Dolgon and his friends were stunned. He pointed to the battlefield and it took him a long time to utter a word. "Within a few days, we lost 110,000 elites! This, this, how is this possible? ”
The figure he said should have included 40,000 people in Mandahai, and now he only has 127,400 people left. If you want to fight with the two main forces of the Ming army, unless you have the belief that the fish will die and the net will be broken. But in this way, even if he defeats the Ming army and loses the barrel of the gun, he will lose the qualification to continue to be the regent of the imperial father, and it is impossible for the Haoge remnants and royalists to bow to him anymore.
"Withdraw, the whole army will withdraw to Kaifeng!" After saying this, Dorgon did not say a word, but led the army back to one of the last cities south of the Yellow River. Five years of big dreams in exchange for inhuman abuse, this time the blow is too painful. He wanted to retreat to Kaifeng and join forces with Zilharang, who was stationed there, lick his wounds, and fight again with the whole army.
