Chapter 223: The Great Victory of Shanguan

A moment later, thousands of Ming troops in dark green uniforms were outflanked from the west, and Zhuo Butai was driven away, so he had to turn around and flee.

Soon, he was forced back by the Ming army behind him to the place where he was raided by the "steel armor" cavalry, but he saw that thousands of horsemen were divided into several pieces, and the Ming army formed a long snake formation again to block its retreat, and the cannon roared endlessly. In addition, more than 1,000 southerner cavalry were on standby, strangling the horsemen who were lucky enough to break out of the encirclement at any time.

And a soft-boned guy like Battle has led his subordinates to beg for surrender......

Turai was dragged out by the guards and ran away, and finally no Ming army chased after him. He looked back and saw that the men and horses worshipping Yin Dai were throwing away their blades and kneeling on the ground one after another.

These coated minions! He cursed in his heart, and when he turned his head, he saw that his elite infantry armor was surrounded by more than ten Ming army formations, and with the sound of bird guns, hundreds of Jianzhou warriors died under lead bullets.

His heart is dripping blood, these are the strongest of the Eight Banners! Not only are they skilled in battle, but they are also the mainstay of their respective bulls. For every flag soldier killed here, several Jianzhou women and children may starve to death.

What the hell are the cavalry doing? Turai glared angrily at the direction of the right flank of the Ming army, where the sky was full of dust, and there were obviously large groups of soldiers and horses fighting, could it be that this guy Zhuo Butai left himself here in order to grab more war merits? !

Before he could finish his thoughts, a bloodied cavalry galloped past him. He hurriedly ordered his own soldiers to stop him, and when the horseman saw that it was Tulai, as if he saw a savior, he shouted in a hoarse voice: "Lord Gushan Ezhen, thousands of people in our army are surrounded by southerners, and they are in danger, so I beg the adults to divide their troops to save them quickly!" ”

The cavalry of Chobtai was also surrounded...... Turai closed his eyes in agony, and as a result, the main force of the army was trapped, and the defeat was assured.

And this defeat, Zhenglan Banner is afraid that it will be over...... Manchuria had no more than 70,000 available troops, and all the men of appropriate age were recruited into the army, at most 1450,000 people.

This is a great defeat that has never been seen since entering the customs! He remembered that when he saw the intelligence that said that the elite of the Nanban Chen Wang was quite unimpressed, he realized today that Jin Shenghuan, Tong Peng and others were unjustly defeated.

……

"Report!" A hussar urged the horse to come, and said in a loud voice, "There are thieves who have gone around the rear of our army, and there are only three miles left from the Chinese army, and the number is about two thousand. ”

Zhu Linmiao nodded and raised his binoculars, only to see that the battle on the frontal battlefield and the right flank had entered the final stage, so he ordered: "Order the cavalry, dragoons and artillery of the Dragon Guard Army to meet them at the rear. He thought about it for a while, and said to Shi Lin, "Bring the personal soldier company with you." ”

"My lord, this can't be helped," the personal soldier company was King Chen's personal guard, Shi Lin said busily, "If there is a mistake, ......"

Zhu Linmiao shook her head firmly, "Go quickly." ”

"Yes!"

"Let the cavalry of the Broken Battalion assist in encircling and suppressing the cavalry of the Captive Army. The captives can be surrounded first but not annihilated, and they can't run anyway. Zhu Linmiao continued, "It's time for the Jianyu on the left flank to arrive, and let General Zhen divide three thousand men and horses from the frontal battlefield to set up defenses. ”

"Yes!"

On the other side of the battlefield, Azig held the telescope with a cold face.

The situation on Chobtai's side is not very real, but the absence of news of the defeat of the enemy is bad news in itself. As for the frontal battlefield, the main forces of Turai and Bai Yin Dai were surrounded, but he could see it clearly.

This brute had some ability, and he was able to defeat Turai so quickly. He gritted his teeth and said secretly, but it's not over yet, I still have thousands of green battalions of five hundred elite Bayala and Zhang Hongmo in reserve.

He turned his head and ordered, "The Chinese army prepares!" When Han Dai and Cao Cunxing are in place, I will personally lead Bayala to break the enemy head-on! ”

"Huh!"

……

"General, the southerners are all in front, and the rear team is undefended."

Han Dai was overjoyed when he heard this, although he only had 2,000 men and horses, he was the main force of the Zhenghuang Banner, and there were nearly 500 horsemen among them.

It is only less than four miles away from the Chinese army of the southerners, and it may be possible to capture the great merit of capturing the barbarian King Chen! He immediately urged loudly, "Give Lao Tzu a little bit of legs and feet, capture the head of the barbarians, and reward each of them with ten taels of silver!" ”

When the captives heard this, they immediately came to their senses, and the speed of the march suddenly increased by a few points.

After walking for a while, a scout suddenly hurriedly said to Han Dai: "General, ...... found ahead"

Before he finished speaking, he heard a thunderous cannon sound, and just as a cannonball hit the scout's back, it was instantly smashed to pieces, splashing Han Dai with red and white.

Han Dai was shocked, he sent a large group of scouts to investigate, but he didn't find that the rear of the southerners was guarded, so where did these cannons come from?!

Naturally, he would not believe that the Dragon Guard's cannons could move faster than his foot soldiers.

Han Dai did not dare to delay, and hurriedly ordered Xiao cavalry to attack and harass the gunners of the Ming army, and the infantry armor was scattered to meet the enemy head-on.

After two more rounds of shelling, before the other horses could make a move, a group of cavalry with their upper bodies shrouded in shining steel armor suddenly appeared in front of them, followed by hundreds of cavalry with short guns, swept in like a violent wind.

Cao Cunxing's green battalion was already slow, and by the time he arrived on the left flank of the Ming army, the nine Morris phalanx had been waiting there for a while.

He frowned at the dense spears and neat hands that made people's scalps tingle, hesitated again and again, and recurred the bad habits he had developed when he was a general, so he ordered his subordinates: "The southerners are deceitful, first retreat a mile, and we will go back when Lord Turai destroys the enemy." ”

So his 4,000 green battalions confronted the broken battalion like this, and until the other armies of Jianyu were defeated, he did not have any confrontation with the Ming army.

……

Gan Hui faintly heard the continuous sound of cannons in the distance, and his heart was extremely worried.

He had listened to the chatter of the captives guarding them last night, saying that King Chen of the Ming Dynasty had led an army of 20,000 to approach Shanguan, and Azig had 43,000 Jiannu to meet him.

He had long heard about the combat effectiveness of the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, and even if the numbers of the two armies were reversed, I am afraid that King Chen would not have a chance of winning. If the thief wins, he will be taken to the north as a Tartar slave or cooked, but he will be a five-foot man, with no skills, and he will want to serve the country, but he will end up like this.

A few days ago, he led an army of 300 rebels to attack the Jianju raiding team, but he was unexpectedly ambushed by the enemy, and he was captured by the captives to cover the retreat of his brothers.

These thieves were like wild beasts, who cooked men for military rations, and two of his men who were captured with him had already been poisoned, and it was not necessarily their turn at any time.

Gan Hui was depressed when he saw several captives guarding him leaning their bird guns against the trees and hurriedly running into the distance, as if they were in a hurry.

At this time, the Jianyu army was all fighting with the Ming army, and there must not be many people left in the camp. His heart moved, and he whispered to the three volunteer brothers who were also captured: "I am going to die in the end, why don't you give it a go?" Or you can still survive in death! ”

The three men squinted at the guard, and saw that the remaining captives happened to have their backs to this side. They looked at each other again, and nodded vigorously at Gan Hui, "But listen to the eldest brother!" ”

Gan Hui stared at the captives, turned his hand and poured out the sharp stone chips that had been prepared from his sleeves, and quickly sharpened the ropes that bound his subordinates. The latter neatly untied the ropes of several other people.

Subsequently, under Gan Hui's signal, several people quietly touched the remaining captives guarding behind them, and each used a trick to put them to the ground.
