Chapter 1202: The Failed Mengjin Great Retreat

Seventy or eighty thousand defeated soldiers crowded into the Mengjin Ferry, and the Ming army stormed from the periphery, constantly compressing their physical space.

If the Ming army attacked the river beach and the rout had not yet crossed the river, they would have no other choice but to be killed, captured, and driven into the river, which was a life-and-death hour for the rout.

There are so many routs, but there are so few ships, whether to withdraw the Manchurians first, or the Mongols first, or even the Han army first, after the Qing army lost Dolgon, there is no voice to make a decision, and no one wants to stay and wait for death.

This is under the hill outside Mengjin, the artillery of the Ming army has been erected, with the wave of the command flag, the cannon sound of "boom boom boom ~" sounded in turn, and when the artillery raised the smoke of gunpowder, the pitch-black iron bullet whistled out.

The cannonballs slammed into the mountain, splashing the rocks and filling the dust, and the Qing troops on it wailed and frightened, lying on the ground one after another, not daring to move.

Although solid bullets cannot explode and injure the enemy, they hit the stones, scattering the debris in all directions, and the lethality is not much less than that of flowering bullets.

After a few rounds of shelling, the top of the mountain was covered in dust, and everywhere there were Qing troops covering their wounds and rolling and wailing.

At the foot of the mountain, the Ming army of the three divisions had already lined up in formation, and the soldiers did not wait for the artillery to stop before charging up, and the leader of the team took the Qing army on the top of the mountain and did not dare to show his head, and as soon as the whistle blew, the Ming soldiers began to climb to the top of the mountain.

Not just a mountain peak, on the peaks, highlands, and hills on the periphery of Mengjin, countless Ming troops climbed up densely, with swords and shields in front of them, and all the fire guns in the back.

After the Ming artillery stopped, the Qing army on the top of the mountain dared to raise their heads, they looked down, and they were immediately shocked, the Ming army was actually close to the eyes.

The cooperation between the infantry and the artillery team reached such a point, and the defeated soldiers were stunned and shocked by the operation of the Ming army's artillery infantry.

At this time, the Ming soldiers who climbed under their noses suddenly roared, and rushed to the top of the mountain directly at a faster speed.

As soon as the Qing army looked up, the Ming army was a row of guns, and several Ming soldiers in front of them directly smashed the shields in their hands to the Qing army on the top of the mountain, and when their necks shrank, the Ming army had jumped up and rushed to the top of the mountain.

These defeated soldiers who were responsible for blocking the attack had long lost their morale at all, and it was okay for them to release arrows from a distance on the mountain, but if they had to fight hand-to-hand in close combat, they would immediately fall for thousands of miles.

For a time, the rout on the hill dispersed with a loud uproar, and they fled from the top of the mountain and rushed to the river beach.

With a single charge, the Ming army crushed the defeated soldiers who had no fighting spirit, and they were either driven down the hill or knelt down in horror and asked to surrender.

Wang Yan stood on the top of the mountain, observed the battlefield with a clairvoyant mirror, and saw that the surrounding mountains were uprooted by the Ming army one by one, and the banners of the Ming army were planted on the mountain one after another.

He saw countless Ming troops climbing to the top, and seventy or eighty thousand defeated soldiers were compressed into the narrow area of Mengjindu, and then put down the clairvoyant mirror and said with a smile: "Let the artillery team pull the artillery up the hill and bombard Mengjindu condescendingly, and the rest of the troops, when the rout is in chaos, are ready to rush in and catch pigs!" ”

Several generals behind Wang Yan suddenly burst into laughter, and said, "Your Highness, these nearly 80,000 people, it's not easy to catch them all!" ”

Some said, "I think it's easy to deal with, they're better than pigs, pigs can run around, but they can't!" ”

Wang Yan waved his hand and said: "Pass the order of the lonely general, and drive all the people who do not surrender into the river!" ”

"No!" All the generals clasped their fists together, the Ming army's trumpet drums sounded in unison, and the flags waved to convey Wang Yan's military orders.

On the river beach, the Mongols pulled out their swords, and the air froze.

Lou Qin pulled out the knife in half but got stuck.

He pulled it out and couldn't kill the Mongols, and he lost face by inserting it back, and the ship was definitely going to be half taken away by the Mongols.

For a while, he was in a dilemma, his face was flushed, and he couldn't get off the stage.

At this time, the soldiers on both sides were clearly facing each other, glaring angrily, as if they could stare each other to death with their eyes.

Looking at the fierce Mongols in front of them, Doni and Rokoduo saw that there were constantly Mongol soldiers coming around, looking at them expressionlessly, his Adam's apple moved, and he couldn't help swallowing his saliva, leaking a trace of timidity.

The two sides held each other like this, the roaring artillery gradually stopped, and the cheers of the mountains and tsunamis came from the periphery.

This is the Ming army taking the surrounding hills, the soldiers are cheering, the Mongols and Manchus are leaking a trace of panic, and the surroundings are beginning to commotion.

The Ming army will storm the river beach at any time, and there is not much time left for them.

Batudun's face sank, the matter of fighting for the boat was a matter of life and death, and they would not give face to Lou Qin and others.

At this time, whoever is still humble is waiting for death, and the husband and wife are still flying separately in a big disaster, not to mention the Mongols and Manchus.

At this time, the tree should fall and scatter, everyone has the ability to flee for their lives, why should the Manchurians occupy all the ships.

Thinking of this, Batu Duntaiji's face was a little hideous, he saw that Lou Qin did not dare to draw a knife, and was unwilling to give in, and then looked at Luo Keduo and others next to him leaking cowardice, his heart increased his confidence, so he glared at Lou Qin and snorted coldly, "You are not a regent, why should you order Lao Tzu?" This ship is going to be decided by our Mongolian warriors! ”

As he spoke, he turned his head and said to Gelsai next to him: "Go, bring all the boats, if they don't give them, let them see the scimitar of the Mongol warriors!" ”

The Mongols did not give Lou Qin a step down at all, and directly relied on many soldiers and horses to force them.

Now is not the time to be polite, whoever is polite will have to stay on the south bank, they are all sinful people, once they fall into the hands of the Ming army, they will either be cut by the Ming army, or they will be driven down the river and drowned, and they will definitely not die well.

Batutun relied on the large number of Mongols and the Manchurian people, and did not take Lou Qin in his eyes at all.

He had already figured out that once he escaped from here, he would immediately return to the grassland and draw a clear line with the Manchus, so as not to be implicated by the Manchus.

He listened to Batudun's words, glanced at Lou Qin and the others with a mocking look, and then carried a scimitar to push away Lou Qin who was in the way, and crashed into the river.

Lou Qin collected a total of more than 20 small boats, the land of Heluo was developed early, the woods were scarce, and the wood was not buoyant enough in the Yellow River, plus to go to a distant place to cut and transport, the Qing army did not have that time, so the raft was only more than 150.

That's all, the number of people who can take people across the river at one time is less than 2,000, which is the last hope of the Manchurians.

If the Mongols had said it well, Lou Qin might have conceded a small part of the situation, but the attitude of the Mongols and the humiliation of him completely angered him.

Dolgon's death had already made Lou Qin very sad, and the Mongols did not take him seriously at this time, and even insulted him, he watched the Mongols want to seize the ship, and the last trace of reason in his heart was overwhelmed by anger.

Listening to the shouts of the Ming army, Lou Qin's face suddenly twisted, he clenched the handle of the knife in his hand, and when Batutun was not paying attention, he grabbed it in one step and stabbed the other party in the abdomen.

Lou Qin's face was hideous, his eyes were red, he held the hilt of the knife and stirred vigorously, and muttered in his mouth, "Dog minion, call you disrespectful to this king, call you ......"

As soon as he made a move, there was chaos on the river beach, and the Manchus and the Mongols actually fought first for who could cross the river.

In order to survive, in order to return to their hometown, the white knives on both sides entered and red knives came out, killing flesh and blood, and the attack was extremely fierce, and they did not spare any hands.

When the Mongols saw that Batudun was killed, their eyes immediately turned red, and they were numerous, full of soldiers, and Lou Qin and others immediately fell into a situation of being besieged.

The entire beachhead suddenly became chaotic, and the sound of killing shook the sky, but at this moment, the Ming artillery that was pulled to the top of the mountain suddenly sounded.

The sound of "booming" artillery echoed on the mountain, and the artillery team condescendingly bombarded the river beach, and as soon as the cannon fell, the splashed gravel killed and injured one piece.

The rout on the river beach had nowhere to avoid, and the head of the rout was scurrying by the artillery, which made the rout even more chaotic.

At the same time as the cannon sounded, the Ming army infantry rushed to the river beach, and the Ming troops of all departments were like tigers entering a flock of sheep, frightened the Han banners on the periphery, fled in terror, and squeezed to the river beach one after another.

Lou Qin was fighting with several Mongols, Doni grabbed Lou Qin, and while waving his knife to block, he shouted: "The Ming army has begun to attack, go quickly!" ”

Lou Qin didn't have time to answer, the red-eyed Mongols swarmed up again, he angrily opened Doni's pull, and forced the Mongols back with a knife, but who knew that Doni was unprepared, but half of his head was cut off by the Mongols, and his brain was spilled.

Lou Qin looked back, and the whole person was stunned immediately, the Mongols actually killed Doni, how could he explain to the fifteenth uncle Duoduo.

"Lou Qin, let's go!" Just when Lou Qin was stunned, Wakda, who was not far away, reminded him again that he stabbed a Mongolian to death, and then shouted urgently: "The Ming army is coming, don't entangle with the Mongols, if you don't leave, it's too late!" ”

As soon as he heard this, Lou Qin was shocked, he turned his head to look, only to see countless Ming troops rushing down from the mountain, killing to the river beach, the Ming army's encirclement is shrinking smaller and smaller, the Han army and the Jin army on the periphery, either surrendered, or killed, more people were forced to squeeze towards the river beach, and the Manchus and Mongols standing by the river have been squeezed into the river.

He saw a lot of people, and without receiving orders, they had already set up ships and fled to the north shore, and some of the boats were so crowded that they were swept over by the current before they were halfway there.

The soldiers on the shore began to scramble for the rafts, and the Manchurians themselves actually fought.

"Retreat!" Lou Qin came back to his senses, grabbed Doni's body, carried it on his shoulder, and hurried towards the river.

It's just that at this time, there are no more boats, and the raft is also full of routs, and the soldiers on it use guns and knives to stop the approaching routs, whether it is Manchu or Mongol, as long as they dare to approach the raft, they will be stabbed to death······

Lou Qin carried the corpse, watched the Manchurians fighting for the boats, swords and soldiers facing each other, saw countless routs being forced into the river, swept away by the current, and looked at the desperate hands struggling in the river to sink into the river, and his heart was dead.
