The huge explosion of earth-shattering thunder resounded around the hollow phalanx.

The Jianyu cavalry galloped close to the hollow phalanx, and there was no way to dodge under the crowding in front and back, and even if thirty or forty horsemen were blown up by the "grenade", they tripped over dozens of horses that followed one after another.

The sound of the explosion and the screams of the injured horses made it impossible for even the most psychologically healthy horses to control at this time.

Suddenly, the captives that had just swept from both sides of the Ming army like flowing water were carried by the mounts, scattering like headless flies, and the pressure of the hollow phalanx was instantly relaxed.

Zhang Guoxuan, who commanded the defense of the captive cavalry, was overjoyed when he saw this, and said in his heart that he didn't expect this earth-shattering thunder to have a miraculous effect on the cavalry! When you go back, you must make it clear to His Royal Highness the Auxiliary King.

In fact, the practice of scaring horses with grenades was also practiced in Europe, and Napoleon's army had a grenadier formation. Of course, its main weapon is not grenades, but this elite class can throw grenades at enemy troops at the risk of death, which can often greatly disrupt enemy formations.

This time, Li Xian was also in a hurry to save the people in the middle of the road, and seeing that the number of people in the hollow phalanx was very small, he was contemptuous, so he didn't care about suppressing it with cavalry, so that the soldiers on the inside of the phalanx could successfully throw the earth-shattering thunder.

Zhang Guoxuan took advantage of the chaos of the Qing cavalry and took the risk of ordering, "The front row is holding bayonets away from the enemy, and the others are quickly loaded!" ”

Li Xian turned his head and saw that the Ming army had put away the fire under the noses of the cavalry of the brigade and began to reload, and he was angry in his heart, but no matter how hard he pulled the reins, the mounts under his crotch ran in the direction away from the Ming army.

Soon, dense firelight erupted in the hollow phalanx, and hundreds of lead bullets were fired at the horses from the side or behind, immediately pushing the level of confusion of the Jianyu cavalry to a new peak.

After a long while, it was not until Li Xian ran out of range of the Ming artillery that the mount barely calmed down. He turned his head again and saw that at least two hundred horsemen were galloping away from him, and by this time they were scattered everywhere, and it would be impossible to gather back for a while.

And there were only one hundred and thirty or forty horses left around him, and those horses were constantly snorting, and it was obvious that they were running wildly under the fear just now, and there was not much physical strength left at this time.

"Look, my lord!"

Li Xian looked in the direction pointed by the guards, and saw that his middle road had been defeated, and Lou Guangxian's Daxu had already fallen.

He was hesitating whether to save General Lou, but suddenly saw hundreds of people lined up in a neat horizontal formation, coming from the middle of the battlefield to his side.

His eyelids jumped, and he immediately turned his horse's head and shouted, "Withdraw!" ”

The most embarrassing person at this time is Juan Mao. By the time he led a thousand foot soldiers to outflank him from the right flank, the battlefield was already a "busy scene", the Qing army in the middle was driven by the 200 Ming army to flee everywhere like a lost dog, the 300 Ming army infantry on the northeast side was chasing Li Xian's horsemen, and hundreds of Ming troops were "cleaning the battlefield" everywhere.

As for Lou Zongbing, Li Xian and others, they have long since disappeared.

If he ordered a strong attack at this time, the Ming army might really have to suffer a little loss in the case of an unorganized formation, but before he could think about where to fight first, the green battalion soldiers behind him burst out, "Defeated!" Run......"

"Lord Lou's flags have fallen, I'm afraid it's more auspicious and less ......"

"There must be an ambush in the Ming army, what else is this fighting?!"

"Even the horses are scattered, let's run......"

"You ......" Hu Anmao turned his head and was about to reprimand angrily, but saw that the hundreds of green battalion soldiers had done what they said and had already fled in all directions.

Morale is the most susceptible to people, although the Han army with white flags under his command did not follow, but obviously has no fighting spirit.

When he ordered the officers to restrain his subordinates and chased back some of the deserters, the Ming army had basically ended the battle in the middle, and four or five hundred people reformed a horizontal formation a mile away......

The Forbidden City, Beijing.

In the Wuying Palace, all the Manchu and Han civil and military officers lowered their heads and did not dare to speak.

In the middle of the engineering department, Zhang Gaowen was even more eager to stuff his head into the neckline.

He went through many ways and spent a lot of money, and it was easy to get the current position, so he naturally had to fight hard to get to the top position.

Early the morning before, he heard that Dagu was attacked by the Ming army at night, so he immediately went to the table to impeach Lou Guangxian, and asked the imperial court to transfer Jiangnan people to the southern army.

Unexpectedly, at noon that day, His Royal Highness the Prince Regent issued an edict saying that the landing in Dagu was only a Japanese army, and all the courtiers were not allowed to refer to it as a Ming army.

Zhang Gaowen was shocked into a sweat at that time, and hurriedly impeached himself, saying that a little thief was not enough to trouble, and as soon as the imperial army arrived, he would be wiped out immediately.

How do you know that a day later, there was an urgent report from Zhigu, the 3,000 men and horses of the Zhigu garrison were wiped out, the general soldier Lou Guangxian was martyred, and Belle Baduhai was captured. The Ming army has now passed through Zhigu and is rushing to Beijing.

At this time, even the regent had to change his words and say that Lou Guangxian had deceived the court before, reported that the Ming army was a widow, and wanted to make up for the loss of Dagu.

In fact, Dolgon is also extremely helpless, and it can't be said that the dignified clan Baylor was captured by the Japanese Bandits, right? Moreover, if you go straight to Beijing and Pingchuan, the Ming army will soon arrive near Beijing, and some people will see it at that time, and then insist that it is a Japanese coward.

Zhang Gaowen peeked at the other courtiers again, and saw that there were many people with embarrassed faces, and his heart was slightly relieved, it seems that there should be a lot of people who slapped their faces before, and now they have to quickly figure out how to get back a city.

Before he could figure out his clue, he saw Liu Zhengzong, the editor of the Hanlin Academy, coming out and saying: "His Royal Highness the Prince Regent, the southerners have to drive straight into the country with more than 1,000 soldiers and horses, and there must be internal complementarity." The thief army is based in the south of the Yangtze River, and many wealthy families in Jiangxi, Fujian, Zhejiang and other places have dealings with it......"

Before Liu Zhengzong's words fell, Feng Quan, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, immediately answered: "The minister seconded the proposal." Many of my courtiers have dealings with people from Jiangnan, and we must not ignore them. ”

Zhang Gaowen's heart moved, this is the northern party to take the opportunity to attack the southern party!

After the Manchurians entered the customs, a large number of Ming ministers were appointed, and the operation of the imperial court was almost the same as that of the Chongzhen Dynasty. As a result, one of the biggest ills of the late Ming Dynasty, party strife, was also brought to the Manchu court.

This north-south party struggle in the early Qing Dynasty was actually a continuation of the party struggle between the eunuch party and the Donglin party in the late Ming Dynasty.

Feng Quan had a close relationship with Wei Zhongxian in his early years, and after being dismissed, he defected to the Manchu Qing Dynasty and recruited party henchmen, then known as the Northern Party. After the Donglin Party descended to the Qing Dynasty, it reunited with Chen Mingxia as the leader, known as the Southern Party.

The "grievances" of these two factions have been fighting since the end of the Ming Dynasty and have been fighting until now, and they are still biting each other, which is essentially the Jiangbei gentry and the Jiangnan gentry fighting for the interests of their own groups.

Yushi Wu Da immediately stood up and said, "Lord Feng, instead of suspecting the courtiers without evidence, it is better to discuss Lou Guangxian's crime. "Lou Guangxian is a member of the Northern Party.

"He led 3,000 men and horses, among which nearly half of the Han army was elite with white flags, but he would be defeated by more than 1,000 southern troops, and he must be inappropriate......"

Seeing that the enemy army was almost in Beijing, but the two factions were still attacking each other, Dolgon couldn't help but say angrily: "Do you really believe that the Ming army only has more than 1,000 people?!" ”
