What could be more desperate than seeing that you are about to break through the siege of a dead end, and when your hands have already touched the knocker of the way of life, only to be told that this way is impossible?

Moreover, at this time, several thousand of the Duoduo were rushing forward in a chaotic manner, and most of the troops were trapped in a swamp river full of corpses, and even if they wanted to fight back, they were powerless.

Moreover, the enemy's cavalry is so fierce, even in the Battle of Jinan that year, the Eight Banners Iron Cavalry was at its peak, and it was defeated by Sun Yuan's cavalry, let alone now.

He Man looked back, but saw that the entire Qing army had been divided into three pieces by the river. The enemy's cavalry, dressed in shining cuirass and brandishing sabers, roared like spinning steel millstones. Everywhere he went, the sky was full of flying human heads and severed limbs.

"Cavalry Army, Cavalry Army!" There were at least 3,000 enemy cavalry, like a fierce torrent pouring down, and even 20,000 infantry could not carry such an army.

Everywhere were the towering mink hats on the heads of the enemy horsemen, and everywhere were the fierce cries of the Qing soldiers.

He Man saw that the enemy's cavalry tactics were very cunning, and they did not directly collide with the tide of Qing soldiers, but along the edge of the troops, like peeling spring shoots, exploiting layer by layer, and then driving the panicked soldiers into the water.

The soldiers who arrived on the shore fled into the river like dumplings, but they were not safe.

The cavalry suddenly drew its recurve bow from its back, rounded it out, and shot the arrow down like splashing water

。

The cavalry of the Ningxiang Army were all wearing canvas raincoats like big clouds, so the rainstorm just now did not wet their bowstrings and feather arrows.

There is almost no need to aim, as long as the arrow is released, it can easily hit a target.

The river was filled with the exclamations of Qing soldiers.

It's really miserable, there are blood spots flying sideways in front of them, those Jianzhou warriors who were born between the white mountains and black waters, crisscrossing the vast world, and are as vigorous as eagles, died worthlessly, with fear on their faces before they died.

He Man's heart knotted together, and the tiger gun in his hand fell to the ground.

The gun felt so heavy that it couldn't hold it anymore.

It's over, it's completely over, and my Manchurian Eight Banners should be mourned here today.

All of this is meaningless, breaking through, resisting, and even life and death.

He Man stood on the embankment by the river in a daze, letting the rebels knock him to the ground, and it was strange to say that he was already so weak that he was not knocked to the ground. If that's a good thing, you'll be relieved.

Someone shouted: "Bai Jia, Bai Jia come quickly." ”

This cry woke He Man up, and when he looked back, it was Changfeng, the warrior of the Duoduo Guard, the eldest son of the Sakda family. I remember that when I was first selected into Duoduo's personal guard, this person also came to the door with two horns of wine to fight for wine, and directly poured He Man down.

This man was fierce in drinking, in war, in murder, and in robbery, so that the brothers in the team were so admirable.

At this moment, he was standing on the other side of the river, and the white cotton armor on his body was already covered with thin mud, and he could no longer see the original color. A group of cavalry of the Ningxiang Army noticed that the armor on his body was different from that of ordinary soldiers, and immediately rushed over

I don't know what Changfeng meant by shouting "Baijia", probably to recruit the brothers of the pro-guard team. The long weapon in his hand has been squeezed out, and only a waist knife remains, and it is a Ming army-standard lancet that is not suitable for field combat. He had been hit by several arrows and walked with a limp.

With such equipment and physical condition, it is obvious that it cannot withstand the onslaught of enemy cavalry

。

He Man shouted loudly: "Changfeng, Changfeng, be careful!" ”

In order to withstand the frontal onslaught of the enemy's cavalry, it is necessary to organize the soldiers around you to form a defensive line composed of long weapons. However, as the enemy's war horse approached, the soldiers around Changfeng dispersed with a "boom", and some people were squeezed directly down the river because they fled in a hurry, and they could no longer stand up.

The black mud waves rolled up by the horses' hooves rushed in, and then they limped flat, passing the crowd and walking away.

Changfeng is gone.

At this time, He Man was completely numb and couldn't even grieve.

There is no way forward, there are chasing soldiers behind, there is really no way to go to the sky, and there is no way to enter the ground. Thousands of Qing troops were caught in this small river like two pincers by the enemy's Weizi battalion and cavalry army, and they were constantly weakened until the last drop of blood was drained.

Now, running away is neither fighting nor fighting, and it is useless to do anything.

With the appearance of the cavalry army, after the musketeers of the Weizi battalion on the north bank retreated, a group of heavy infantry moved over to fight the Qing army hand-to-hand. These Ningxiang soldiers were all wearing plate armor with thick steel plates, and carried heavy weapons such as spears, axes, and sledgehammers in their hands, constantly driving the Qing army into the water.

The Qing army was so hungry that they couldn't walk, and many people didn't even wear armor in order to travel lightly. As long as the weapon of the Ningxiang Army falls on his body, he will fall down instantly, and the armor of his own weapon Ming Army is just an itch.

The Qing army that rushed ashore before collapsed in an instant, scrambling to jump into the water, and He Man couldn't stand still, and retreated with inertia. The foot is deep and the foot is shallow, and it is not when you step on a dead body.

The river could no longer flow, and the eyes were full of wriggling human bodies.

The arrows of the cavalry continued to fall, and in the end, the Qing army did not even have the strength to scream. At the same time, the artillery of the Weizi battalion began to roar again.

"He Man, He Man, come on, come on!" Someone was waving at him.

Looking ahead, I saw that about twenty soldiers were gathered in a group, including the Jianzhou army and the Han army. Beckoning to him was a companion from the pro-throne team, named Eshitai, a member of the Wuya family. He used to be a fisherman on the Songhua River, and because of his bravery, he was selected as a multi-Duo Chinese army. In addition, he is tall and has become a standard-bearer.

At this moment, he was holding a large white flag in his hand, and he was huddled with the soldiers, and was walking towards the west in a desperate manner

。

"Could it be Dordor ?" He Man's spirit suddenly perked up, yes, now there are Ningxiang troops on both sides of the river, and they can't advance or retreat, so they can only walk along the river. The river is full of defeated soldiers, since the Ningxiang army can easily kill our Qing soldiers on the shore, naturally they will not rush down and stir up a mess in the mud with us, I have to say that Duoduo's decision is wise.

Of course, you can't go to the east, and Yangzhou is there. You can only go west, find a place where there are no enemy troops, and see if you can fight a bloody way to Fengyang.

I have to say that the discipline of the people and horses that Prince Yu has rectified is still good, even if it is a mess, these twenty or so people still gather into a solid iron plate, gritting their teeth and crying bitterly, and letting the enemy's feather arrows and projectiles keep hitting their bodies. The wounded man fell down without a word, resting on the corpse next to him.

"Eshitai, wait for me." He Man stepped on a corpse in the water violently, rushed forward for more than ten steps, and finally joined the group of people, this person walked in the water but it took ten times more strength than on the flat ground, this section of the road made him panting: "What about the prince! ”

Eshitai pointed ahead: "Over there, don't talk, leave some strength to walk." ”

He Man looked ahead, but didn't see Duoduo, only Geng Zhongming was wearing broken armor, and his face was covered in blood and he was supported, pushed, and pulled by several guards and moved forward numbly.

That's right, he is also the prince, the king of Huaishun.

"What about Duoduo?" He Man looked at the inlaid white flag in Eshitai's hand and asked urgently.

Eshitai yelled: "I don't know, I don't know, scattered, all scattered......"

Before he could finish speaking, a solid cannonball fell into the water in the distance, hit a pile of corpses and bounced, carrying a red bloody wind that swept flatly, and with a "boom" slashed the entire head of Eshitai to the point that it would never be seen again.

The whistling shells made everyone bow their heads, and these days, they were all discouraged by the firearms of the Ningxiang Army.

Only Geng Zhongming was still moving forward like a walking corpse, with a difficult step.

"Eshitai!" He Man shouted.

The body of the big standard-bearer was still standing there, the flag post in his hand in the water, motionless

。 Strange to say, there is not much blood in the broken neck of Eshitai. I think that one is hungry, and the other is that the hot cannonball is like a soldering iron that shatters his head, and the blood vessels are instantly scorched.

He Man tried to reach out to take the big flag in his hand, but Eshitai's hand was so tight that he couldn't pull it out after a few strokes.

Geng Zhongming, who had been in a stupor, turned his head suddenly: "Don't care." ”

He Man ignored it, Geng Zhongming: "The target is too big to take the banner of the Chinese army, and the ghost knows how many Ningxiang troops will be attracted." ”

He Man gave up at this time.

Geng Zhongming seemed to have come to his senses: "Hurry up, the north bank of the five miles ahead is a hill, which is not suitable for the deployment of a large army, and there may be a glimmer of hope for breaking through from there." ”

After all, he is the commander of the first army at the core decision-making level, and his grasp of the situation of the enemy on the battlefield is naturally clearer than that of ordinary soldiers, and he is a veteran of the battlefield with rich combat experience. Since he said that he could land five miles ahead, everyone's spirits were lifted a lot.

Soon, many more soldiers joined the ranks of the fledders.

In fact, except for going up the river, the Qing army had nowhere to go.

The Ningxiang army refused to give up, and the troops on both sides of the river also pursued westward along both banks. The cavalry's arrows had been shot out, and they were replaced by spears, which kept stabbing to the side. As for the soldiers of the Weizi battalion on the north bank, as soon as they were interested, they sent a group of men and horses to pursue the river, and after harvesting a large number of heads, they retreated ashore in a good time.

This is simply a hunting, He Man looked back, and the white flag behind him had fallen. A cavalryman of the Ningxiang Army was really arrogant, and rushed directly into the water, and after cutting down two Qing soldiers, he drew the banner from Eshitai's hand.

"Hooray, hooray!"

"Cavalry ----"

"Hooray!"

……

He Man didn't know when it would taste in his heart, and he didn't even feel sad. If there is only one emotion, it is probably to go to the hilly land of five miles upstream as soon as possible. Trekking in the water is too physically demanding, as long as you can keep your feet on the ground, as for whether you are dead or alive, who cares?
