The two sides confronted each other for half a cup of tea, and in the face of the guns of the Ying Long army, the 30,000 Manmeng iron cavalry were helpless.

"Lord Ao! Ying Long's musket is sharp, and it is not advisable to fight hard! According to the subordinates, these two woods are not too big, and you can go around without a stick of incense. A yellow-flaged general proposed.

"Shit! I have 30,000 iron horsemen in the Qing Dynasty, and I have to make a detour in the face of thousands of Ying Long troops blocking the road, and I can't afford to lose this person! Aobai's eyes widened, and he scolded angrily.

"Otherwise, ask the regent behind for help, or wait for the main force of the army led by the regent, and then these thousands of dragon troops will definitely be unable to escape." The yellow-flaged general suggested again.

Dolgon's main army was not far from here, only ten miles away, and even if the march was not fast, it would not take half an hour to reach it, and if the iron cavalry ran wildly with all its might, even a stick of incense could be reached.

"What a bullshit idea, I might as well take a detour!" Ao Bai glared angrily.

The Manchu Eight Banners are not one heart, the two yellow flags are the men and horses of the Shunzhi Emperor, and they have not dealt with Dolgon very well, whether it is asking for help or waiting for the main force of the army to arrive, it means that the yellow flag bows to Dolgon, Ao Bai cannot do this, Ao Bai even suspects that Dolgon knows that there are 20,000 Ying Long troops in the pursuing Ming army, and he deliberately sent the yellow flag to take the lead.

"Hehe, Lord Counselor, I'm scared." A Ying Long Junqian said to Xie Zepeng.

"Hmph, what kind of first cavalry in the world, a group of cowards." Xie Zepeng sneered.

"On the other side, if you have the guts, you rush over, a group of people who are as timid as mice, and they don't have the courage to go home and pick up the children as soon as possible!" Xie Zepeng shouted towards Aobai, and at the same time let the soldiers of the Ying Long Army beside him also shout.

The yellow flag and the more than 10,000 Mongols behind it were ridiculed so red-faced, and Ao Bai was even more angry, when had the Qing Dynasty Iron Cavalry been ridiculed like this, especially the Han people who had been regarded as weak and incompetent by them for so many years.

"Huh?" Suddenly, Ao Bai remembered something.

"Has the Ministry of Industry brought our giant crossbow to it?" Ao Bai suddenly asked a general beside him.

The yellow flag general was slightly stunned, realized something, and said happily: "Go back to your lordship, bring ten bodies here." ”

"Okay, hahahaha! Assemble a giant crossbow and shoot the Ming dog in front of you! Ao Bai laughed.

Soon, the Qing army removed many wooden parts from some of the horses behind them, dozens of soldiers with yellow flags skillfully assembled, and soon, ten large crossbow arrows were assembled.

These large crossbow arrows were one of the ways that Dolgon came up with to deal with the Ying Long army, but the Qing army's iron cavalry had been used to rushing and killing fiercely, and they didn't think of it for the first time when they confronted Xie Zepeng's five thousand Ying Long army just now.

"General, what are you doing?" The actions of the Qing army attracted the attention of a general of the Ying Long army.

"I don't know!" Xie Zepeng was a little surprised.

It only took a few minutes for the Qing army to assemble the giant crossbow, and soon the ten assembled giant crossbows were carried to the front by dozens of Qing troops.

"Get on the arrow!" Ao Bai Senran smiled.

Immediately, a large arrow, more than twice as thick and long as an ordinary arrow, was mounted on the giant crossbow and ready to be fired.

The giant crossbow was originally a siege cannon has not yet come out, built to siege and defend the city, but by the time of the Ming Dynasty has been gradually eliminated, this is still Dolgon ordered the Ministry of Engineering of Beijing City according to the Song crossbow drawings collected by the Armory Pavilion to build, each of them all added together only more than 100 pounds, long range, powerful, can shoot nearly 300 meters away, can be detached into four parts tied to the back of the war horse, can follow the cavalry for a long distance, is to be used to kill and injure the Ying Long Army when it is blocked by the Ying Long Army now.

"Launch!" With a wave of his hand, ten huge crossbow arrows flew out, shooting towards the Ying Long Army formation two hundred meters away.

"Xiuxiu" arrow broke through the air.

"Crossbow bolts!" Xie Zepeng exclaimed.

"Ah" Ten huge crossbow arrows were almost all shot in the formation of the Ying Long Army, due to the dense formation of the Ying Long Army, coupled with the powerful power of the crossbow arrows, like wearing a sugar gourd, almost every arrow penetrated the bodies of the three Ying Long Army soldiers.

Almost nearly thirty Ying Long soldiers fell down at the same time with blood spilling from their mouths, even if they were not shot at the vital point, but they were pierced by the arrows, and the weight of the other two Ying Long soldiers who were worn on the same arrow, none of the nearly thirty Ying Long soldiers who were hit by the arrow could get up.

The remaining soldiers of the Ying Long Army turned pale, almost disrupting their formation by this sudden scene.

"Xiu Xiu" was another round of ten huge arrows.

One of the arrows flew towards Xie Zepeng even more accurately, Xie Zepeng's hairs stood up in an instant, the breath of death was approaching, in the end, he could do it to the generals of the Ying Long Army, Xie Zepeng was not weak, and at the last moment, he tried his best to open this arrow, but it could only make this arrow deviate from the direction, and Xie Zepeng's arms were numb.

"Ah" Nearly 30 soldiers of the Ying Long Army were penetrated through the body again, and in less than a breath, the Ying Long Army suffered nearly 60 casualties, which can be described as heavy casualties.

"Hahahaha! A bright dog is a bright dog! Wear a big string! Ao Bai laughed.

This time it was the turn of the Qing army to laugh, and one by one they pointed at the soldiers of the Ying Long Army who were dressed in strings and laughed, but the Ying Long Army had to maintain such a dense formation to prevent the Qing army's iron cavalry from suddenly rushing over.

"General, what should I do!" A Ying Long Junqian asked anxiously.

Xie Zepeng's heart was dripping blood, and he quickly judged the situation.

"Fight! Ying Long's army quickly marched forward to attack and destroy the Qingyu Giant Crossbow! "The distance between the two sides is only two hundred meters, and the effective range of the flintlock pistol is one hundred and fifty meters, Xie Zepeng saw that the weight of the Qing army's giant crossbow must not be light, if the Ying Long army quickly advances, as long as there is a wave of lead bullets hitting the ten giant crossbows, it can destroy the Qing army's giant crossbows.

"Chong" The first group of Ying Long soldiers at the front rushed forward, and the Ying Long Army behind also followed.

"Not good! The Ying Long Army must want to destroy our giant crossbow! A Qing army general explained the intentions of Ying Long's army in one mouth.

"Humph! Don't! The giant crossbow retreated, Xiba Turi, you take two thousand iron cavalry to block the attack of Ying Long's army! Ao Bai pointed to a general.

"Wow!" Xibaturi was a Mongolian general, although he knew that Ao Bai was uneasy and kind, but he did not dare to disobey the order, after all, the Manchurian people had already suffered hundreds of casualties under the yellow flag, and it was not unreasonable to let them be Mongols now.

"Kill" two thousand Mongols rushed forward, each armed with a bow and arrow.

Although the giant crossbow weighed more than 100 pounds, each of them had several soldiers to carry it, and although the speed of retreat was slow, there were Mongols in front of it, and it was not easy for Ying Long's army to destroy the giant crossbow.

Although Ying Long's army quickly rushed up fifty or sixty meters, bringing the Qing army into the firing range, the giant crossbow had already retreated nearly ten meters, and was blocked by the Qing army's iron cavalry, plus two thousand Mongols rushed up, and the speed of Ying Long's army slowed down suddenly.

"Fire!" Ying Long's army was the first to fire, and could not let the Mongols' bows and arrows reach range.

Lead bullets flew, and the Mongols at the front were beaten to the ground, but in view of the heavy casualties of the yellow flag just now, the Mongols became smart and scattered as much as possible, resulting in a fire of Ying Long's army tightly causing the Mongols to suffer about 20 casualties, which was simply negligible for the Mongols.

"Damn!" Xie Zepeng clenched his teeth and clenched his right fist.

According to the speed of Ying Long's advance, there is no possibility of destroying the Qing army's giant crossbow.

"This place is too close to Tai'an County, and the main force of the Qing army is afraid that it will arrive here soon! It's time to get to the next blocking point. Xie Zepeng estimated the time, they had stopped the Qing army here for more than a stick of incense, and they couldn't delay it any longer, otherwise they would be surrounded by a large army of the Qing army, and the whole army would inevitably be wiped out.

The task of blocking the Qing army was very arduous, and although most of the soldiers of the Yinglong army had prepared for death in advance, they must not die until they completed the task of blocking the attack.

"Execute the retreat plan!" Xie Zepeng ordered.

"Yes!"

Half of Ying Long's army dispersed back into the woods, and there were war horses neighing in the woods on both sides, and soon, five thousand war horses were pulled out, and dozens of carts of hay were also pushed out to block the road.

"Withdraw!"

All the soldiers of the Ying Long Army retreated, and when they passed through the dozens of carts of hay blocking the road, they set it on fire by the way.

"Minggou wants to escape! Pursue! Ao Bai saw the intention of Ying Long's army and ordered the whole army to attack.

However, the gap between the dozens of cars could only allow people to pass through at most, and the horses could never get through, and at this moment the licorice on the cart was ignited, and the flames soared to the sky.

There was a fire to stop it, and the soldiers of the Ying Long Army quickly evacuated with a war horse.

"Minggou is so cunning and so well prepared, it must have been premeditated!" Ao Bai was furious, but the fire blocking his eyes was higher than that of him on a war horse, and he blocked the 30,000 iron horsemen led by him, so that he could only watch Ying Long's army flee.

Otherwise, with the cavalry and archery skills of the Qing army's iron cavalry, even if the Ying Long army also has horses, it will inevitably suffer a big loss in the face of the pursuit of the Qing army's iron cavalry.

"Crackle!" There was a thunderclap, a strong wind howled, and large dark clouds began to gather in the sky.

"Damn! It's going to rain! Xie Zepeng's face was heavy, and I am afraid that this blocking task will be difficult.

"Hahahaha! It's going to rain, Minggou is going to die this time! When Ao Bai heard a thunderclap and a strong wind, he was stunned for a moment, and then immediately laughed excitedly.

The Achilles' heel of firearms is that they are afraid of rain, as long as it rains, the gunpowder is damp, and the musket becomes a burning stick, even if Ying Longjun's flintlock pistol is wrapped with copper skin in the flint ignition part, if the muzzle is wrapped in oiled paper, the rain is not so easy to enter, but at most it can only keep a shot of ammunition in the gun, and it is absolutely impossible to want to be loaded in the rain after the shot.

At the same time, the large army led by Ji Feng had already arrived more than 20 miles south of Tai'an County, and it would take at least an hour to reach Dawenpo.

"Damn, it's going to rain before we reach Dawenpo, it's really beautiful, hateful!" Ji Feng scolded with a dark face.
