Wang Xian's subordinates had already been exhausted and exhausted after repeated tosses, and when they heard the officer's order to charge the enemy formation, they all refused to move forward.

Wang Xian couldn't help but be anxious, and led his henchmen to cut down more than a dozen hesitant people in a row, and personally led nearly 100 cavalry to rush towards the Ming army's defense line, and his subordinates followed with trembling.

Xia Fuxian looked coldly at the cavalry who were screaming and rushing up, and calmly gave the order, "Concentrate on shooting the enemy cavalry!" The dragoons in the entire line immediately turned their guns and aimed at the oncoming enemy cavalry.

When the enemy army rushed to a distance of about seventy paces, he immediately shouted an order, "Release!" ”

More than 500 flintlock guns immediately roared at the same time. Due to the wide line, the flanks could also form crossfire on cavalry gathered in a group when firing at them.

Wang Xian's cavalry suddenly turned on their backs, and those who were directly hit by lead bullets and tripped by their own people lost more than half of their men and horses in an instant.

The worst thing is that Wang Xian, who rushed to the front in order to boost morale, was the first to be shot. The other cavalrymen rushed halfway through, suddenly lost command, and immediately turned into headless flies and began to run in all directions.

"Bayonet ready ......" Xia Fuxian originally planned to use a bayonet to deal with the remaining enemy cavalry, but he had just said half of the order, but saw that no one rushed up at all. Thirty or so cavalry of the Qing army ran to both sides, and the rest turned around and backwards.

He grabbed the herald a little helplessly and changed: "All loaded." Then he ordered the company of the dragoons to go to the general road, "a company on horseback and disperse the enemy cavalry." ”

"Yes!"

The dragoons are not the strongest class, but they are definitely the most flexible. Dismounted, they can shoot infantry in formation, and if necessary, they can instantly turn into light cavalry.

Soon, more than sixty dragoons, wielding steel swords, plunged straight into the side of a group of fleeing Qing cavalry.

Wang Xian's infantry had just run more than a hundred steps away from the Ming army at this time, when he saw his own leader rushing forward violently, and was defeated by a round of fire before he could make a splash.

Immediately, another cavalry who turned around and fled back shouted, "Lord Wang is dead!" ”

The hundreds of foot soldiers were already demoralized, and when they heard that the Lord was about to be killed, they immediately stopped and looked at the Overseer behind them. The Warlords were even more straightforward, throwing away their knives and turning to run.

Xia Fu saw that his soldiers had skillfully loaded their ammunition and were waiting for the enemy to rush forward and give them a fierce blow, but suddenly saw the captives in the distance run halfway and then broke up with a bang.

He was stunned for two seconds before he reacted, and hurriedly ordered the second and third companies to mount their horses and chase and defeat the enemy.

……

Zhu Linmiao stood on a slope, looking at the light of the torches fleeing in the night. The hussars had reported just now, and thousands of men and horses had been defeated. Due to the confusion of the captives for unknown reasons, the entire engagement process ended in less than half an hour.

He looked in the direction of the Qing army's camp, where the tent stretched four or five miles away, and the entire camp was brightly lit.

He knew that although thousands of captives had been routed at the moment, Bolo still had tens of thousands of horses stationed not far away, and he had to beware of the sudden dispatch of a large number of enemy troops. The Dragon Guard is clearing the remnants of the enemy at this time, and if they meet the battle, I am afraid they will be a little caught off guard.

"Yuanzi, order the whole army to stop chasing the enemy," he thought for a moment, and quickly made a decision, instructing Zhang Jiayu to say, "Gather here and prepare to return to the camp as a whole."

"It is not yet known the movement of the main force of Jianyu, so it is advisable to be cautious."

"Your Excellency is very worried." Zhang Jiayu was about to give an order, when he saw Zhao Shichao hurrying with a team of hussars.

Zhu Linmiao was puzzled: "Why did Xuanqing suddenly return when he was attacking the enemy?" ”

"My lord, my subordinates have an urgent military intelligence report." Zhao Shichao saluted first, and then waved at the soldiers behind him.

Several hussars immediately dragged the two men tied up from their horses and threw them at his feet.

"My lord, my subordinates have captured two thieves and puppet officials." Zhao Shichao bowed his hand to Zhu Linmiao and said, "These two people begged for information in exchange for their lives, and their subordinates responded to it in vain, but they really said something extremely important. ”

He said and kicked the captives on the ground, "Say, who are you?" ”

"Hui, General Hui, the little one is named Li Jianming." One of them hurriedly replied, "His name is Gao Tong." The two of us were coerced as prisoners and served as military leaders. ”

Zhao Shichao pointed to the Qing army camp and asked, "How many people are in this camp?" ”

"There are 600 Jianzhou soldiers and more than 12,000 Han troops."

Zhu Linmiao squatted down violently when she heard this, grabbed Li Jianming's collar, stared at him and said, "What you said is true?" ”

Li Jianming pulled his throat and said, "Don't dare to deceive the general!" ”

"Bolo brought 60,000 captives into Fujian, so where are the rest?"

"Back to the general, Boluo's grain and grass are unsustainable, and I am afraid that I will not be able to attack Xianxia Pass. He designed to order Azig to lead the main force of the captive army to the west, wanting to seize Shanguan and get grain from Jiangxi. Bolo was afraid that the Ming army would be suspicious, so he pretended to negotiate peace, and led more than 10,000 Han troops to camp in Yanping to hide people's eyes and ears......"

Zhu Linmiao's face was solemn, let go of Li Jianming, stood up and said to Zhao Shichao: "Immediately order the whole army to interrogate all the captured Jianyu officers, and be sure to confirm what this person said as soon as possible!" ”

"Yes!" Zhao Shichao immediately jumped on his horse and led the team to gallop away.

"My lord, there are more than 3,000 people in Zhang Yingmeng's army that we defeated before," Zhang Jiayu said on the side, "The captive army in front of us is around six or seven thousand. If what the prisoner said was true, there should be few horses in the camp at this moment. ”

Zhu Linmiao nodded, "Order all units of the Dragon Guard Army to clear the remnants of the enemy as quickly as possible and end the battle." However, it is still necessary to guard against deception, and let the hussars monitor all over the camp, but if there is any abnormal movement, it will be immediately warned. ”

"Yes!"

"Also," Zhu Linmiao said again, "send someone to inform the Broken Camp and ask them to come and join them as soon as possible." ”

"Yes!"

After a short time, another hussar sent the captured officers captured on the battlefield. After Shi Lin's surprise interrogation, the confessions of these captives were basically the same as those of Li Jianming, and they all said that the main force of Jianjiao had gone to Shanguan with Azig.

By the beginning of the day, Fan Shaozu and Wang Xian's captives had been wiped out, and the broken camp had also rushed to the east side of the Qing army's camp.

Zhu Linmiao knew that the situation was urgent, so he immediately ordered all the artillery to be concentrated outside the enemy camp, and the broken battalion was responsible for the main attack, and the Boluo battalion should be broken as soon as possible, while the Long Wei army repaired on the spot.

Bolo listened to the sound of fighting in the camp all night, but he never saw Fan Shaozu, Zhang Yingmeng and others lead the army back. During this period, he sent more than a dozen groups of scouts out of the camp to investigate the situation, and reported that either the armies were in a melee, and it was difficult to know the details, or the main force of the Ming army attacked, and the army was defeated.

He was in a state of uneasiness, Erdenbu ran over in a panic, and said hurriedly: "Lord Belle, tens of thousands of Ming troops suddenly appeared outside the camp!" ”

Before he could finish speaking, he heard a dense roar of cannons in the distance, which shook the big tent of Bolo.
