Chapter 893: Swallowing Thousands of Miles Like a Tiger

On September 20, on the western Liaoning corridor, Heluohui reluctantly led 20,000 Qing troops out of Shanhaiguan to march in the direction of Jinzhou.

More reluctant than him is the green battalion soldiers who followed him out of the customs, they are soldiers to eat food, it turns out that they can grab something with the Eight Banners, and now the army is in arrears, and they are still desperate, so they naturally have emotions.

He Luo would know the importance of Jinzhou and know that the Qing Kingdom would save Jinzhou, but he also knew that the possibility of success in the rescue was not very high, and the task was very arduous.

Therefore, he hoped that Dolgon would send troops to rescue Jinzhou, but he did not want him to be the person in charge of the rescue.

It's just that, looking around at the Manchurian nobles, half of them ran away to the gates, and there was really no one around Dolgon.

At this time, after a few days of grinding and grinding in the Shanhai Pass, Heluo finally led 15,500 green battalion soldiers and 4,500 Han army banners of three Jiala, and marched out of the customs to Jinzhou.

It is worth mentioning that the Han military flag had the lowest status among the eight banners before, but it was also out of reach for the green battalion, and raising the flag meant changing from a slave to a master, but at this time, the Han military flag could no longer let the green battalion soldiers cast envious eyes.

For the Manchu Qing Dynasty, it was difficult to replenish the Manchu Eight Banners after they were lost because of the population, but it was an easy thing to replenish the Han Army Banner.

After the defeat in Hedong, Dolgon immediately raised the flag to a large number of green battalions and made up for the gap in the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty, so as to stabilize the morale of the army.

It's just that the Eight Banners is not just a title, he is an organization, a system, and it needs to have supporting things, and it also needs to have tangible benefits to maintain the combat power of the Eight Banners.

At this time, the Qing court obviously could not give these newly raised Han banners any benefits, and even Qitian and Qinu did not score, and the combat power and loyalty of these new Han banners were far inferior to their predecessors.

A year and seven months have passed since the Battle of Hedong, and the Qing army has also expanded and trained during this time, but morale must be fought out.

The current Qing army, when facing the Wei army, is the same as when the Ming army faced the Qing army, and they are cowardly before fighting.

Heluo would be well aware of this, so he walked very slowly on the road and sent out rangers to reconnoiter the surrounding situation in case the Wei army was ambushed.

The western Liaoning corridor, the Ming and Qing dynasties repeatedly tug-of-war, the warm sunshine of September was sprinkled on the ground, and in the harvest season, the land of western Liaoning was full of barren grass and a desolate.

At this time, 20,000 Qing troops came from the south, marching extremely slowly, stretching for miles before and after.

Most of the Qing soldiers lowered their heads, carried weapons, and walked slowly, while the officers on horseback looked around nervously.

"Ning Yuanwei!" A young Green Battalion officer suddenly pointed to the front and said.

"Ning Yuan! We're halfway there, it's time to be careful! The middle-aged colleague next to him said in a deep voice.

In the distance, a ruined city appeared in front of the army, mottled walls, broken walls, telling its story.

"Hey! You said that the Eight Banners knew that the Wei army was heavily besieged, so why did they have to save Jinzhou? ”

"People's hometown is in the bitter cold land of Liaodong, and Jinzhou is occupied by the Wei army, so I can't go back to my home." The middle-aged officer lowered his voice and said, "Haven't you heard? The Eight Banners are already preparing to withdraw to the outside of the Guan, not to the Guannei. This time the Wei army attacked Jinzhou, and the eight achievements leaked the news, and the Wei army came to block the eight banners. ”

The young officer was anxious when he heard this, "Eight Banners withdraw from the Guannei, don't want the Guannei, then what should we do?" ”

"What else can I do, follow with!" The middle-aged officer sighed.

"That's not good, my hometown is in Guannei, don't want the ancestral grave! Besides, if the birds outside the gate don't poop, how can they feed their families? ”

~~~~~~

While they were gossiping, the front army suddenly sounded a hurried horn, and then saw several Han banner soldiers, galloping against the ranks, they galloped past the team, and shouted loudly, "Quick, all the troops are immediately arrayed, ready to meet the enemy!" ”

On the official road overgrown with weeds, 20,000 Qing soldiers heard the alarm, and they were immediately shocked, and hurriedly set up a formation.

At this time, there was a faint thunder in the sky, the earth trembled slightly, and under the banner of a big pole, Heluo would restrain the war horse, control the restless war horse, and turn his head to look north.

Behind him, Li Guoying, Zhang Yingxiang, Xu Yong and other generals of Zuo Zhen also tightly held the reins of the horse, their hands clenched their weapons, and their faces were very ugly.

Speaking of which, Zuo Zhen and the Wei army had a great hatred, but in the face of the upcoming Wei army, there was no anger on their faces, only fear.

At this moment, in the ruins of Ning Yuanwei, countless Wei army horses rushed out, trampling the earth with ten thousand hooves, and startling the dust in the sky.

Aside from the Battle of Hedong, this would be one of the largest cavalry corps of the Wei army encountered by the Qing army, and the horse army came from all over the field, and the roaring hooves shook the heavens and the earth, and the sound was terrifying.

Heluo would look north, only to see countless horses' heads surging, and he immediately shouted, "Form a formation, prepare to meet the enemy!" ”

Behind him, there was a commotion among the 20,000 Qing troops, and the spearmen, birdmen, and archers changed their positions in a panic.

The spearmen in the front row, looking at the overwhelming cavalry, clenched the shaft of the spear with trembling hands, and the Adam's apple kept squirming.

At this time, not far from the Qing army, Hu Dawei grabbed the reins of the horse, and the cavalry behind him stopped one after another, staring at the Qing army in formation with a cold gaze.

Hu Dawei took out a clairvoyant mirror and glanced at the Qing army's large array, the infantry army was the mainstay, and a small number of cavalry sheltered the two wings, and immediately waved his hand, "Artillery bombardment, light cavalry entanglement of enemy cavalry, musket cavalry chaotic formation, impact cavalry charge, once crush the enemy army!" ”

Seeing that the Qing army coming out of Shanhaiguan looked cowardly, they did not plan to attack, but formed a formation to protect themselves.

Hu Dawei sneered in his heart, just like this handful of birds, he dared to rescue Jinzhou. The Qing army did not dare to move, but Hu Dawei dared to move.

Under Gao Yihuan's account, Hu Dawei has served as a vanguard general many times, in addition to his own toughness, the main reason is that he is fearless, decisive in battle, and cut when he meets.

The Wei artillery was quickly erected, and the artillery roared, smashing into the Qing army's large array, and immediately ploughed the ground, leaving a stump and broken arm.

The Mongol light cavalry in the Wei army's formation first raised the speed of their horses and rushed to the two flanks of the Qing army's front.

"Musket battalion, shock battalion, sortie!" Hu Dawei raised his big sword and gave a domineering order.

As soon as the military order was given, the horn sounded, and the cavalry with muskets rushed out first, and the cavalry with the horse lance erected behind them flattened the horse lance and followed the attack.

In the Qing army's formation, the copper cannons began to return fire, but the shells bombarded the cavalry, and the effect was far less than that of the dense infantry formation.

Heluohui was stationed under the banner of Daxu, and when he saw the Wei cavalry coming from the field, his forehead was sweating, and the spearmen of the Qing army in the front row looked nervously left and right, trying to find a sense of security from his comrades, but he found that his comrades were trembling.

"Birds, bows and arrows ready!" Helo would roar loudly.

The Qing gunners behind the spearmen lit the fiery ropes, raised the fiery guns, and the archers wound their arrows, ready to strike a head-on blow to the Wei cavalry.

"Bang bang bang!" A flintlock gun rang out, but it was not the Qing army's bird guns, but the Wei army's musketeers, who had the advantage of range, took the lead in firing.

The battlefield was filled with gunsmoke, and the Wei cavalry after firing a shot, before they entered the range of the Qing army's bow and arrow, pulled out their horses and retreated to both sides, and another wave of musketeers shot a gun again.

The spearmen in front of the Qing army's front were immediately beaten and their bodies trembled, and the cotton wool on their bodies splashed, blooming with clouds of blood mist.

In a panic, the Qing army's guns and bows and arrows were fired one after another, but most of them missed.

At this time, after all the musketeers dispersed, countless shock cavalry armed with horse lances rushed through the smoke belt and directly pounced on the Qing army who was disrupted by the muskets.

"Kill!" Hu Dawei galloped his horse, raised the sword in his hand, and the cavalry behind him tightened the horse lance in his hand, and a pair of eyes stared closely at the Qing army who were hastily loaded with ammunition, and launched an attack formation.

The Qing army released a gun in a hurry, and when he looked up, the Wei army and the horse army had rushed to the front, and the horse lance stabbed into the chest of the spearmen in the front row, pushing the corpse on the ground, and saw the war horse knocking the corpse away, and immediately pulled out his legs and fled to the rear.

Under the banner of Daxu, Heluo will see a terrifying scene, Hu Dawei led 20,000 Wei cavalry, swallowing thousands of miles like a tiger, and suddenly crashed into his front formation, and the Qing soldiers hurriedly released arrows and guns, and then fled like a.

"Li Guoying, Zhang Yingxiang, Xu Yong!" Heluo would shout urgently, but there was no response, "Li Guoying, Zhang Yingxiang, Xu Yong~"

He shouted and turned his head to see that Zuo Zhen had once again shown their unique strength, and Heluo would see the backs of several people with his eyes raised, and they were scrambling to flee south.

"Kill!" The Wei cavalry roared in unison, ramming the Qing soldiers, using lances as sickles to harvest the heads of the defeated army......
