Several Jianyu officers also wanted to get closer to see what was going on, but suddenly heard a scream on the side, and turned their heads to see more than a dozen cavalrymen being swept away by cannonballs, and blood splashed on the people behind them.

Several people immediately looked at each other, and their eyes all had the same meaning - no need to look at it, the flags were all blown up to the size of chopsticks, and Lord Baturu would definitely be dead.

A thousand general turned his horse's head and said: "Return to the Chinese army first, reorganize the formation!" ”

"Good!"

As their military order came out, nearly two thousand Jianyu horsemen began to turn around.

However, at this moment, the flank of the Ming army suddenly killed a group of men, more than 3,000 people, divided into three rows and moved forward alternately. Each platoon advanced twenty paces stopped for a salvo, then reloaded on the spot, while the other platoon of soldiers behind pressed twenty paces......

The Qing army's cavalry battalion was turning halfway, and it was suddenly attacked by such a swift surprise attack on its side, and it was even chaotic. For a while, no one cared about maintaining the formation, and each urged the horses to flee southward.

Gan Hui, the commander of the lancers who had been waiting in the rear of the Ming army's infantry line, saw the confusion in the cavalry formation in the telescope, and immediately smiled.

How could such an opportunity be missed? He mounted his horse with his spear and led his troops to rush out from the side of the infantry, leading more than a thousand lancers to rush through the flanks and rear of the Jianyu cavalry.

Further north, beside a mountain forest, Zhu Linmiao was also holding a telescope, looking at the team of men and horses who suddenly rushed out with a puzzled face, and was about to send someone to ask whose team it was, when he saw Deng Shan's herald driving his horse, saluted and shouted: "Report!" General Deng has defeated the enemy at Rufeng Mountain, capturing nearly 4,000 people, and the 12th battalion of Li Battalion is leading Japanese soldiers and Australian soldiers to clear the remaining defeated enemy. ”

Zhu Linmiao pointed in the direction of the main battlefield and said angrily: "No need to ask, it must be Deng Shanbu who rushed up." This Deng Shan, although he is brave enough to fight, is a little reckless......"

On the side, Zhang Jiayu suddenly put down the binoculars and said, "Your Majesty, the enemy cavalry on the left flank has been dispersed......"

Zhu Lin froze, shook his head and said, "Count him lucky." After thinking about it, he felt uneasy, so he ordered Shi Lin to fill the position behind Deng Shan with 1,500 soldiers from the imperial battalion, in case the latter would not be able to hold up when he was violently counterattacked by Jian.

Deng Shan was fighting hard, but when he saw his own lancers roaring into the enemy formation, the captives in front of him suddenly became even more chaotic, and the speed of escape was several times faster than that of Fang Cai.

The efficiency of the infantry line under his command to pursue the enemy was naturally far less than that of the lancers, and he couldn't help but feel a little annoyed, and when he turned his head, he saw that the Qing army infantry not far from the southwest side was regrouping, and he immediately became happy again.

The infantry of the 3,000 Broken Battalion began to repeat the commander's order, shouting in unison, "Convert to a horizontal formation!" "Turn right!" At the same time, the infantry line was gathered together with great skill, and in less than a stick of incense, it had turned to face the Jianyu Suohai Department.

Huang Qishou, who commanded the infantry of the Longwei Army in front of the Ming army, saw that a group of his own men attacked from the enemy's right flank without warning, and hurriedly ordered to stop firing artillery.

Then he saw that the imperial camp had come to reinforce him, and when he asked, he realized that the front was Deng Shan's department.

There were five or six kinds of plans, but I didn't even think that this situation would happen. Huang Qishou frowned and thought for a moment, only afraid that Deng Shan would be outnumbered, so he ordered the main force of the infantry to also press up and reinforce Deng Shan's department.

As it turned out, he still overestimated Jianyu.

As soon as Suo Hai restrained the soldiers who were frightened by the flowering bombs, he was caught off guard by a fierce volley of fire from the west, and his flank was suddenly in chaos again.

Suo Hai didn't expect that the Ming army would give up the advantage of artillery and take the initiative to engage in the battle, and he was in a hurry at the moment. When he had easily shifted his infantry from the left flank to the right flank, and was about to give the order for a counterattack, there was a loud bang from the front, apparently with more guns than from the west......

In the rear of the Qing army, Haoge clutched the reins of his horse, his face was pale, and cold sweat continued to ooze from his forehead.

These are all serious Manchurian and Han Eight Banner Army! His heart was trembling, once upon a time, these elite divisions could easily win even in the face of a Ming army four or five times larger.

And now, with the number of both sides being close, the previously powerful Eight Banners Army has been beaten to the point where it is almost powerless.

Could it be that the Qi of the Great Qing Dynasty has really been exhausted......

He was in a trance when he heard someone shouting next to him, "Quick! Escort the prison country and leave! ”

Hauge opened his eyes and saw Suo Hai covered in blood and crooked armor, and couldn't help but be furious, "Bastard! Who told you to step down?! ”

"Prison Country!" Suo Haisheng burst into tears, "I can't stand it at all!" The tide is over. I am here to block the enemy army, and the prison country will leave a useful body and leave quickly, in order to revive the Qing Dynasty! ”

"Reinvigorated?" Haoge's eyes were distracted, and he stared blankly at the Qing soldiers who were running around, "Is there still a chance......

"Yes! Absolutely! Suo Haila walked over the Bayala officer on the side, and then beckoned to the Mongolian officer Kundulun, "You escort the prison country to go first, and my palace is behind!" ”

Haoge was held in a daze, first walked out of the south, then turned east, and was about to flee back to Xingjing from the eastern side of Songshan, when he heard the sound of rumbling horses' hooves behind him......

Twilight.

The eastern foothills of Rufeng Mountain.

Zhang Jiayu entered the temporary camp of the Son of Heaven, saluted first, and said, "Your Majesty, the battlefield has been roughly cleared." ”

Zhu Linmiao nodded, "Let's talk about the casualties first." ”

"Yes. Our field army suffered a total of 170 casualties, most of which were cavalry and Deng Shan's headquarters. There were more than 700 Japanese casualties and more than 30 Australian soldiers. ”

In the battle of nearly 50,000 people on both sides, the Ming army suffered less than 200 casualties, which is enough to show the huge gap in strength between the two sides.

"This Deng Shan...... Zhu Linmiao sighed, "But he also made a lot of contributions in this battle." ”

Zhang Jiayu continued: "As Your Majesty said, General Deng's troops have captured and killed more than 7,000 thieves, the crown of the whole army. ”

"Did Hauge find it?"

"Back to Your Majesty, among the captured thieves, Hauge has not yet been seen. More than 1,000 thieves fled into the Songshan Mountains, and Ma Dezheng led his troops to clean them up. Nearly 1,000 cavalry rode eastward, presumably intending to turn north from the eastern side of Songshan, with General Li leading a swift battalion to chase behind. ”

"Okay, I'll know if there's any news." Zhu Linmiao instructed, "Order the whole army to repair in place for a day, and then follow me to reinforce Shenyang Wei." ”

In fact, in today's battle, except for the servant army and Deng Shanbu, the physical exertion of the other Ming army soldiers is not large, and it is enough to recover after one day of repair.

……

Besides, Yu Xin's side led an army of 15,000 to Shenyang at a rapid pace.

The North Korean soldiers at the back of the line had a very hard journey, carrying wooden sticks tied with straw sandals to forge footprints during the march, and after setting up camp, they had to dig pits and light fires to disguise military stoves. It was their dedication day and night that made Jianyu Tanma never know the number of Ming troops going north.

Only seven days after leaving Jinzhou, Yu Xin's troops caught up with the Qing army that came to the rescue of Shengjing.

Although there were more than 20,000 Qing troops, ninety and half of them were Han and Korean slaves who had only been "recruited" in the past six months, so their equipment, experience, morale, and other aspects were quite average.

It wasn't until the two armies were only six or seven miles away that they finally found that a large group of men and horses were chasing after them, and hurriedly turned around to form a formation to meet the battle. However, it took nearly two hours for the 23,000 Green Battalion soldiers to set up a defensive position on the west bank of the Liao River.

At this time, Yu Xin had already divided his heavy cavalry and 3,000 infantry to surround the enemy's right flank according to the nearby terrain, and the infantry line composed of 10,000 infantry in front of him was also fully deployed.

Yu Xin was about to order the artillery to start bombarding - most of the light cannons and all the Franc machine guns of the field army were brought by him, a total of more than 120 guns, and the firepower was extremely impressive.

However, as soon as the artillery battalion on his side was reloaded, he saw that the rear of the Qing army began to be chaotic.

Yu Xin was greatly surprised, and immediately sent a flare to ask which men and horses were attacking the enemy without authorization, and the reply he received was that everyone was standing by.

After a long while, a series of flares of various colors finally rose from the north in response. The herald explained, and hurriedly turned to Yu Xindao: "General Yu, it seems that the third battalion of the field army is ambushing the thieves, about four or five miles away from here. ”

Yu Xin was stunned, and couldn't help laughing: "Qin Yiming dares to think and dare to do it, and he is so far away to set up an ambush south of Shenyang!" We have the right time, give the order, and the main force will immediately move forward and flank the thieves with the white pole army! ”
