The narrow mountain road had no place for the cavalry to detour, and the Qing cavalry could only hit the spear array.

The war horses that collided with the spear array rolled sideways into the gun array, killing and wounding several Ming soldiers and smashing several Ming soldiers and smashing out several empty positions in the pikemen formation. However, the vacant position of the pikemen was replenished by the pikemen behind, and they continued to use their spears to inflict casualties on the cavalry that rushed over.

The cavalrymen who collided one after another were pierced through by the dense spears like hedgehogs, and even men and horses died in front of the battle. The Ming army also lost almost the same number of pikemen. A one-to-one exchange, a cheap pikeman for an expensive cavalry, is still a very cost-effective thing. What's more, behind the pikemen, there were musketeers and archers who continued to output firepower, constantly shooting the approaching Qing soldiers and horses twenty or thirty paces away.

More than half of the more than 600 cavalry of the Green Battalion have been lost.

The leader of the Eight Banners watched coldly as the Green Battalion Horse Army crashed into the spear formation one by one and was killed in front of the formation. These Green Battalion cavalry, no matter how many people die, he is not distressed, originally the Green Battalion cavalry was adapted from the Liukou Horse Army, and they are not the children of the Eight Banners. As long as the children of the Eight Banners can rush out.

Gao Jinku's face was distorted and deformed in distress, these green battalion cavalry were the first group of veterans he brought out from the camp, first followed Gao Jinku to reduce the Ming, and then followed the Qing, I don't know how many big battles and small battles were fought, and those who survived were all elites. If it weren't for the rush to escape today, Gao Jinku would not have been willing to let these veterans die. You must know that most of the green battalion soldiers don't even have the luxury of cavalry. The original Ming army and the cavalry who surrendered to the Qing army were all pulled by the Manchurians to be cannon fodder, and they could not be replenished after they died in battle. Therefore, these cavalry who entered the warehouse were one less dead, and it was impossible for the Qing court to replenish him with new cavalry.

The cavalry of the Green Battalion in the back no longer dared to step forward to die, and reined in their horses one after another, shooting spear formations with bows and arrows.

The muskets and infantry bows of the Ming army were fired at the Qing army, and it was obvious that the cavalry bow against the musket and the infantry bow was a very disadvantaged thing, and the less powerful cavalry bow could only shoot and injure people, and was hit by the powerful musket and infantry bow, and it was either dead or disabled.

"Up!" The leader of the Eight Banners saw that the cavalry of the Green Battalion had almost lost everything, and the Ming army's pikemen formation also suffered many casualties, so he ordered the Eight Banners cavalry to storm the formation.

"Kill!" More than 200 cavalry of the Eight Banners rushed through the valley, forming a wall of iron horses, and the sound of horses' hooves was like a dense drum, covering the war drums of the Ming army, and the murderous spirit crushed the Ming army's infantry formation.

Wang Xinyu's Ming army fought many times with the Qing army of the Green Battalion, except for a few people who had met the Eight Banners soldiers who had not had time to get on their horses when they were in Gaoqi, most of the soldiers had no experience in fighting with the Eight Banners cavalry. Seeing that the cavalry of more than 200 Eight Banners was neatly lined, all of them were strong and strong, and their momentum was far from comparable to the green battalion cavalry adapted from the Liukou horse bandits, some of the Ming army's legs began to tremble, and they felt a trace of fear. However, the Ming army had strict military discipline, and the harsh and cruel training on weekdays made the soldiers fight to the death without hearing the order of Mingjin to withdraw the troops, although some people felt a little scared, the formation was not the slightest confusion, and the tips of the spears flashed with cold light, aimed at the Eight Banners cavalry.

The 12-shot heavy muskets once again made a shocking roar, and the projectiles crashed into the horses, and more than 30 cavalrymen of the Eight Banners flipped on their backs.

The cavalry of the Eight Banners rushed closer, the horse bow was hoisted, and rows of light arrows flew into the sky, pulling out a parabola, and fell in the formation of the Ming army's pikemen. Someone was shot in the unprotected front door and immediately collapsed in a pool of blood. The archers of the Ming army shot rows of armor-piercing heavy arrows with their foot bows, and the arrows drilled into the cavalry and horses of the Eight Banners like flying locusts, and many of the horses let out a mournful wail, lifting the cavalry on horseback to the ground. The horse's hooves behind were trampled on, and most of the Eight Banners soldiers who fell off their horses were trampled into meatloaf on the spot.

The distance was closer, and the Eight Banners put away their horse bows, drew their swords, and their horses accelerated their charges.

"Bang bang bang" rows of flintlock guns roared, bullets rained into the crowd of Eight Banners, and many Eight Banners cavalry spewed blood mist and fell off their horses one after another.

"Pull!" Gong Xiaoda yelled.

The two Ming soldiers who were ambushed in the pit in front of the battle suddenly pushed open the wooden plank cover, drilled out of the underground pit, and pulled hard with both hands, and a tripwire suddenly jumped out of the mud in front of the Eight Banners cavalry.

Seven horsemen crashed into it, and the tripping rope was broken, and the seven horsemen also flew up from their horses, and struck in front of the pikemen, and those who did not fall to their deaths were also stabbed to death by spears.

The two Ming soldiers had just pulled the stumbling rope, and before they had time to dodge, they were shot into hedgehogs by a row of arrows from the Qing soldiers behind.

"Dog Tartar! Lao Tzu fought with you! "A Ming soldier who had not yet lost his breath rushed into the Qing army's horse herd with a national surname bottle, and when a war horse knocked him away, the national surname bottle exploded in the Eight Banners soldiers and horses.

"Boom" gunpowder smoke filled, the surrounding three war horses were stabbed by the explosion of the national surname bottle sprayed out of the iron thistle and broken porcelain pieces, the frightened war horse lifted the owner on horseback off the horse, and then the Eight Banners soldiers who fell off the horse were trampled to death by the horse's hooves behind.

Facing the hedgehog-like gun forest, the seven Eight Banners cavalry at the front pulled the reins, and the war horses soared into the air, flew into the air, and pressed down on the spear array below.

The "boom" Eight Banners cavalry had crashed into the spear formation, the war horses screamed, the cavalry screamed, the spears were broken, and the flesh and blood were flying.

The seven Eight Banners soldiers who rushed to the front turned into a sieve covered with blood holes, and the war horses that had lost their breath rushed forward under the action of inertia, killing and wounding several Ming soldiers.

The Qing soldiers in the back kept colliding and rushing into the gun array, and while they were pierced into a hornet's nest, they also knocked several Ming soldiers away.

The archers and musketeers of the Ming army stood behind the gun array, constantly outputting firepower and shooting the Eight Banners cavalry behind.

The speed of the Eight Banners cavalry slowed down, losing the advantage of speed, and against the infantry, the cavalry with a large target did not have any advantage.

The Ming army's pikemen formation maintained a formation, and constantly picked off the Eight Banners cavalry who rushed in front of them, plus the firepower output by the archers and musketeers behind, the Eight Banners cavalry suffered heavy casualties and suffered a big loss.

Originally, the leader of the Eight Banners wanted to use the cavalry to charge the formation to scare away the Ming army, but who knew that the opponent was not chaotic at all, but let the Qing army run into blood. The leader of the Eight Banners of the Qing Army calculated in his heart: If he continues to fight hard, I am afraid that all the Eight Banners cavalry will be dead, and the spear array of the Ming army will not be able to break. And running from the mountains, although there may be harassment by local savages, but it is not so much that the whole army will be wiped out, so let's run from the mountains!

"Withdraw!" The leader of the Eight Banners of the Qing Army whistled.

The remaining more than 100 Eight Banner cavalry reined in their horses and turned their heads and burrowed into the mountains and forests on both sides.

Seeing that the cavalry of the Eight Banners had run away from the mountains and forests, the morale of the Qing army in the green camp suddenly collapsed, and they also drilled into the mountains and forests on both sides.

Gong Xiaoda asked people to take out a firework canister and release a signal with a "bang". The meaning of this signal was that the Qing army was blocked by themselves, and when they saw that they could not break into the formation, they ran into the mountains and forests.

Wang Xinyu was overjoyed when he saw the signal from Gong Xiaoda's side, and turned his head to Wang Jinzhong, who was standing behind him, and said, "Brother, the Tartars have already penetrated into the mountains and forests, and now it's up to you!" ”

Wang Jinzhong laughed: "The dog tartar has already burrowed into the mountains and forests!" As long as they're in the jungle, we can let them peel off their skin, if we can't keep them all! ”

The Qing army drilled into the dense forest that covered the sky and the sun, the mountain road was narrow, rugged and bumpy, the war horses and the baggage could not pass, the baggage was all discarded by the Qing army, and they were forced to kill the war horse as rations. The Eight Banners cavalry was really reluctant to warhorse, they jumped off their horses and led the horses to march hard in the primeval forest.

The baggage that was thrown outside became the trophies of the Ming army, and some of the auxiliaries and people who did not run away were taken prisoner. Some of the seriously wounded Qing soldiers who were left behind were killed by the Ming army, and the lightly wounded Qing soldiers were taken down along with the prisoners.

The Qing army walked with difficulty in the dense primeval forest, and after walking for a long time, suddenly a Qing soldier in front of him screamed. The Qing soldier stepped on the trap of the beast, which could grip the clamp of the wild boar and jackal and directly cut off the legs of the Qing soldier.

The wounded Qing soldier fell to the ground, screaming in pain.

A Qing soldier ruthlessly pulled out his knife and cut off the head of the Qing soldier.

After walking for a while, suddenly there was a scream in front of them, and the three Qing soldiers fell into the trap, and the sharpened bamboo was buried in the trap, and the Qing soldiers who fell into the trap were pierced and cold.

Suddenly, there was another loud bang, someone tripped over a climbing vine on the ground, and a stone tied to a tree flew down, killing several Qing soldiers.

After walking for a while, suddenly sharpened bamboos flew out of the woods one after another, shooting through a platoon of Qing soldiers.

All kinds of traps, traps, and traps were waiting for the Qing army on the road. On every stretch of the road, the Qing soldiers had to suffer heavy casualties, but they didn't even know where the enemy was.

Sometimes, when I saw a rebel soldier in red and blue clothes in front of me, I shook it for a while, and I didn't see anyone. When the Qing soldiers chased after them, they either fell into a trap or were plotted by the authorities.

It is precisely because most of Hainan Island is undeveloped wasteland and the island is densely packed with jungles, so Gao Jinku encircled and suppressed Wang Jinzhong for five years, but he could not exterminate this rebel army. Every time the Qing army entered the mountains and forests, they had enough suffering. This time, if it wasn't for the Ming army blocking the official roads on both sides, he really couldn't rush through, and even if he killed Gao Jinku, he wouldn't choose to flee in the mountains and forests.

After walking all day, there were almost no casualties among the Miao and Li rebel armies, and the Qing army suffered heavy casualties.

"How do you walk along the creek?" The Qing army leader grabbed Gao Jinku's collar and roared, "I know that these savages must be giving us a cloth mechanism by the stream, but you still take this road?" ”

Gao Jinku said weakly: "If we don't walk along the stream, we won't be able to walk out of the primeval forest!" In the past, when Ben was under the hands of the thieves, he often walked mountain roads. Only by following the river can you find your way. ”

The leader of the Eight Banners said angrily: "How many people will die if you go like this?" And these rivers flow to the sea, if we accidentally go to the beach and are shelled by the pirate warships, how many more people will we lose? ”

"It's better to die a few people than to die all of us inside, right?"

Gao Jinku took the Qing army and walked along the stream. The Miao and Li rebels set traps along the way, inflicting heavy losses on the Qing army along the way.

The most damaging thing is that those Miao people who are good at poisoning actually swim in the stream and don't know what poison is, and many Qing soldiers who drank water covered their stomachs, convulsed in pain, and finally died in the jungle.

After walking for three days and three nights, when the Qing army came to the river formed by the confluence of several small streams, they saw the road leading to the sea in front of them, and Gao Jinku's mood was very complicated at this time. He knew that if he went any further, he could return to Wanzhou from the seaside. But what kind of trouble awaits you by the sea? There are gunboats of pirates, and even pirates will transport troops to intercept them.

No matter how you walk on land, you can't go faster than a ship at sea. As long as the Ming army that captured Yazhou boarded the ship to pursue the Qing army, the Qing army could be blocked on the seaside!

But this is the only way to escape, if you don't go from the sea, you have to go back to the mountains and forests.

When the Qing army arrived at the beach, they saw a large number of gunboats waiting for them on the sea.

Privateers and small boats with a shallow draft approached the shore, and rows of cannonballs beckoned to the crowd of Qing troops, causing the Qing army to fly with flesh and blood, and losing an unknown number of people.

The Qing army could only walk through the woods by the sea and flee along the coastline towards Wanzhou.

The march in the woods, not to mention the slow walking, the jungle is full of murderous opportunities, and all kinds of ubiquitous traps will take the lives of the Qing soldiers every moment.

I don't know how long I walked, but what Gao Jinku guessed really happened: the Ming army that conquered Yazhou boarded the ship after receiving Wang Xinyu's signal, and took advantage of the speed of the ship higher than the speed of the land march to get ahead of the Qing army, and built a camp in the jungle and the sea to wait for the Qing army!

The morale of the Qing army, which had suffered a heavy defeat, was low, and Gao Jinku knew that he could not rush over at all, so he had to take the Qing army back and continue to drill the mountains and forests to enjoy the various gifts given to them by the Miao and Li rebels along the way.
