"Master, let's go! If you don't leave, it's too late! Several Goshha tried to persuade each other.

Zhuo Butai gritted his teeth and finally made up his mind: "Let's go, go out from the Ying'en Gate in the west!" He paused, and then, as if remembering something, added, "Set fire to the city!" Burn everything in the city, and don't leave it to the barbarian Minggou! ”

"Wow!" Goshha stepped back.

Li Sang'e was also ready to escape, and after hearing the notification of Zhuo Butai's Goshha, he immediately sent an order to let the Han Eight Banners in the city break out of the city.

Zhuo Butai walked into the palace, and Chen Shikai was lying on the sickbed, and it seemed that he was not lightly injured. Yu Yongshou sat on the side and beckoned Lang Zhongzheng to change the medicine for Chen [Shikai].

"Yu Junmen, it's time for us to go!" Zhuo Butai stepped forward and arched his hand.

"General Zhuo Butai, what should Chen Zhentai do?" Yu Yongshou asked.

Zhuo Butai glanced at Chen Shikai who was lying on the sickbed, knowing that he couldn't move, so he said ruthlessly: "He can't go, don't worry about it, just stay here!" ”

"Your Excellency!" Chen Shikai struggled to get up from the sickbed, but rolled to the ground. He had many serious injuries on his body and couldn't stand, so he could only hug Zhuo Butai's thigh and said in a crying voice, "Don't leave the villain, adult!" ”

"Get out of here!" Zhuo Butai roared, kicking Chen Shikai like a dog, "Just like you are now, if we take you with us, we can't even leave!" You stay here, and General Ben will keep your family safe! If you don't know what to do, don't blame General Ben for turning his face and not recognizing people! ”

"My lord, let's go!" Goshha's voice rang out outside.

Zhuo Butai walked out of the palace, scolded and rode on his horse, gritted his teeth and shouted: "Burn! Burn it for Lao Tzu! Don't leave a house for Ming Dog! ”

Several Goshha and Baijia Bayala threw torches at the palace, and in an instant, the government was engulfed in flames. Chen Shikai, who was discarded by Zhuo Butai like a rag, let out a hoarse scream in the fire, and he tried to climb out of the fire, but both legs were already broken, and he climbed halfway, and a burning beam fell and smashed on him, and the crying stopped abruptly, leaving only the sound of the fire crackling and burning.

The warehouse had been set ablaze by the Qing soldiers, and a mountain of grain, grass, cloth, tea, silk and other materials had been engulfed in the fire.

The Eight Banners and the Green Battalion retreated in the direction of Ying'en Gate to the west, and where they passed along the way, they rushed in when they saw shops and wealthy households, and plundered all the gold, silver and jewelry. When I met a beautiful lady from a rich and noble family, I also tied it up and threw it into the carriage and took it away together.

Some people begged bitterly, and their heads were cut off with a knife.

The Green Battalion soldiers burned, killed and looted more ruthlessly than the Eight Banner Soldiers, breaking into the mansions of rich merchants and large families, except for young and beautiful women, other men, women, old people and children were all cut down by them. The place where the Green Battalion soldiers passed became a living hell, and there were cries and cries everywhere.

Fortunately, most of the people in the city were still poor, and the Qing army had no interest in robbing those poor people, and they did not have enough time to slaughter the city, so that most of the people in the city survived.

The Qing army walked out of Ying'en Gate, but Zhuo Butai suddenly pointed at Yu Yongshou with a horsewhip and said coldly: "Yu Junmen, Minggou has cavalry, we all go in one direction, we will be chased by Minggou, we still evacuate separately." You go west! I'll go north! ”

Yu Yongshou's Green Battalion Army is all infantry, and if he loses the protection of the cavalry, he can't even run away. Isn't it obvious that Zhuo Butai wants to use the Green Battalion Army as cannon fodder to attract the Ming Army? But he couldn't help but listen to his master's words, knowing that he was going to leave himself to die, Yu Yongshou had no choice but to call a thousand: "Chirp!" ”

The Qing army divided into two routes, the Manmeng Eight Banners lost all their weapons and armor, took the looted gold and silver treasures, threw away the carriage, tied the looted women on the cart to the horse, and retreated north on horseback. Many of the Eight Banners cavalry were one-man, two-horse, or even one-man three-horse, and it was not a problem to divide a part of the horses to transport women and property.

Besides, Yu Yongshou's green battalion soldiers walked less than three miles west before they were caught up by the Ming cavalry.

"Minggou is here!" Yu Yongshou shouted loudly, "Hurry up and form a battle to meet it!" ”

The remaining more than 5,000 green battalion soldiers formed a defensive cavalry formation under the command of officers at all levels, with pikemen in front, sword and shield men mixed in the middle, and archers and bird gunners in the back.

The Ming cavalry that caught up with the Qing army had 1,000 dragoons and 500 heavy cavalry, and 200 flying cavalry artillery.

Seeing that the Qing army was in formation, Wang Zihao would not let his cavalry rush the infantry formation of the Qing army.

"Heavy cavalry on standby! Artillery prepares for shelling! The dragoons went around from both flanks, dismounted and shot first, and then got on their horses to break the formation! Wait until the Tartar formation is chaotic, and the heavy cavalry will go up again! "Wang Zihao arranged an attacking opportunity.

The flying cavalry artillery untied the horses that pulled the three-pounder guns, set up the artillery, and aimed at the Qing soldiers who were in formation.

Wang Zihao pointed at the Qing army and said: "Brothers, it is these fake Tartars in front of you, they have slaughtered many innocent people in the city!" Today we will kill them all and avenge the people of the city!" ”

"Kill all the fake Tartars! Avenge the dead people! The officers and soldiers let out an earth-shattering roar.

Seeing that the muzzle of the black hole was aimed at him, many people in the Qing army's formation trembled, and some even peed their pants. Some of them turned around and tried to flee, but their heads were cut off by the officers of the Overseer.

Several Qing army officers stared at blood-red eyes and shouted: "We killed so many people in the city, we can't run away, and the Ming dog on the opposite side will not let us go!" Only in the end can there be a chance to live! ”

Before the Qing officers finished speaking, they heard several cannon sounds in the Ming army's formation, 20 three-pounder guns roared, puffs of white smoke rose from the position, and the cannonballs smashed towards the Qing army's formation.

The cannonball drilled into the formation of the Qing army, and the spear broke, the shield was shattered, and the stumps flew into the sky, and a large number of Qing soldiers fell down screaming, and some people did not even scream, they were directly hit by the shells and turned into scattered pieces of flesh and blood. Twenty solid shells ploughed out twenty crooked alleys of flesh and blood in the formation of the Qing army.

"Steady!" Seeing that there was a little confusion in the formation, Yu Yongshou shouted hoarsely.

The dragoons of the Ming army began to move, and a thousand dragoons split up and came up from the two wings to the middle.

"Minggou is going to charge! Get ready for battle! Yu Yongshou yelled.

However, the Ming dragoons did not increase their speed to the maximum, but rushed towards the Qing army at medium speed. Rushing to seventy paces away, the dragoons suddenly stopped advancing, and the cavalry on horseback dismounted one after another, picked up their long-barreled flintlock pistols, took off their compound bows, and aimed them at the Qing formation. At the same time, the three-pounder gun, which was carrying out rapid reloading, gave a roar of a second salvo.

Twenty more shells whistled in, burrowed into the crowd of Qing troops, and hit the Qing army's flesh and blood.

Immediately afterwards, the dragoons opened fire on the Qing army. Because after two rounds of rapid fire from the three-pounder gun, the third round of fire was not so fast for the sake of insurance, and at this time it relied on the fire of the dragoons to make up for it.

The dragoons had a longer range than the Qing army, and as soon as the musket dragoons fired, they retreated and began to reload. The archer pulls out his compound bow and fires another round of arrows.

The artillery bombardment smashed the Qing army's rejecting rifles and knocked down a large number of pikemen. Then the dragoons killed and wounded countless pikemen, and the Qing army's formation began to loosen.

"Attack!" Wang Zihao pulled out his saber and pointed at the Qing army's formation.

"Kill!" The heavy cavalry raised their short wooden spears and began to ride their horses forward.

The neat heavy cavalry formation steadily accelerated, crushing the Qing army's formation that had begun to deform with the sound of roaring horses' hooves. The distance was getting closer, and the speed of the heavy cavalry gradually increased. The strong body of the Don hippopotamus and the heavy cavalry carrying heavy armor are almost reaching the speed of the light cavalry of the Eastern War Horse.

The Qing army's pikemen formation had been loosened and could not form an effective blocking effect at all. The pikemen who did not die were still under fire from the Ming dragoons.

Seeing the heavy cavalry crushing up, the Qing army finally collapsed, dropped their weapons one after another, and turned around to run. Even though the officers of the Overseer continued to slash and kill the deserters, they still couldn't maintain their formation, and could only watch the heavy cavalry with white light rushing up.

"Cast!" Wang Zihao roared loudly and took the lead in throwing the wooden short spear in his hand.

A platoon of heavy cavalry raised their hands and threw short wooden spears. Under the effect of the speed of the war horse, the wooden short spear has great lethality. A row of wooden short spears roared and pierced into the crowd of Qing soldiers, and a large number of Qing soldiers spurted blood and screamed, and fell in pools of blood one after another.

The heavy cavalry lined up in an impenetrable tight formation, rushing into the crowd of the Qing army, and they didn't even need to chop with a saber, what the knights had to do was to gallop their horses, control their war horses, ram them with their horses, trample them with their hooves, and ruthlessly crush a bloody road in the crowd of Qing troops. Everywhere the horse's hooves passed, pieces of minced meat, internal organs, and blood splattered.

"Kill!" The dragoons also turned on their horses, brandished their sabers, and rushed towards the crowd of Qing troops.

The Qing army had completely collapsed, the formation was in disarray, and everyone was scrambling to run around. As a result, he was either chased and trampled to death by the heavy cavalry, or he was chased by the light cavalry and cut off his head with a knife.

"Kill the thief!" Yu Yongshou led more than a dozen personal soldiers, galloped on horseback, and bravely launched a suicidal counter-charge against the rushing Ming heavy cavalry.

The moment before the two sides were about to collide, the spear in Yu Yongshou's hand stabbed out like lightning, and a heavy cavalryman was stabbed fiercely. The speed of the two war horses hedged extremely fast, the spear collided with the heavy cavalry, only to hear a "click", the spear broke, and the heavy cavalry who was shot flew up, fell off the horse, and died instantly.

But Yu Yongshou had no chance to run, and the tall Don hippopotamus collided and knocked Yu Yongshou and his horse over. The war horse was better, and after being knocked down, it could still get up and turn around and run away, and the person fell to the ground and was trampled into pulp.

All of Yu Yongshou's personal soldiers were also killed, and they were lost in an instant.

The Qing infantry scattered in all directions, and the dragoons, who had turned into light cavalry, pursued and killed behind, constantly cutting off the heads of people with braids. (To be continued.) )
