Jingmen is connected to Dahong Mountain in the east, Jingshan Mountain in the north, and the flat and rich Jianghan Plain in the south, known as the gateway of Jingchu.

Once the army in the north crossed Jingmen, it would be able to enter the flat Jianghan Plain, which was now mostly controlled by Qin Mu and was one of his granaries, and he didn't want others to get involved.

At this moment, in the south of Jingmen, the yellow dust is rolling, hunting with banners, Ling Zhan's 5,000 infantry, plus the 5,000 cavalry led by Qin Muqin, are rushing towards Jingmen. "Quick, faster!" Qin Mu galloped back and forth on the avenue, constantly urging.

On the sixth day of the fourth month, Zuo Liangyu hurriedly evacuated Xiangyang and went to Suizhou in the southeast, and Xiangyang was occupied by Yuan Zongdi.

Zhao Jian, the general of the Left Army stationed in Jingmen, was unwilling to follow Zuo Liangyu anymore, and led his 4,000 men and horses to fall to the Qin army.

After Yuan Zongdi occupied Xiangyang, he quickly sent 25,000 troops to the south to attack Jingmen, the gateway to Jingchu, and Zhao Jian was struggling to support it, and Jingmen could be broken at any time.

For Qin Mu, if Jingmen is lost, Jingzhou will be directly exposed to the front of the Dashun army, which is still secondary, and the important thing is that Li Jiu's thousands of cavalry will be cut off from returning.

Therefore, Jingmen must be saved.

"Report, my lord, Liu Tichun has broken through the north gate, Zhao Jianzheng is leading the remnants of the army to fight in the streets, please send urgent reinforcements."

"Send a message to Zhao Jian immediately, our army will arrive immediately, let him be sure to support it, even if it is a single soldier, I will pay him back in the future, go quickly."

"Whoa!"

"Ling Zhan, you lead the infantry to follow, Su Jin, lead the cavalry to follow the officer first, quick!"

"My lord, let the last general go"

"This is a military order, one more trembling sentence, chop!"

Under Qin Mu's order, the five thousand cavalry rushed to the north like a flood out of the mountain pass, and the earth was shaken by iron hooves and rumbled, and the rolling yellow dust went straight to the sky. The crops that had just been planted could not be taken care of, and they were trampled by the war horses, and they were in a mess.

In front of them, a black Qinzi banner was swept wildly in the wind, and all the soldiers kept whipping their horses, although they were tired after a long journey, but looking at this black banner, their hearts were full of confidence in victory, which was why Qin Mu insisted on leading his army to charge the battle.

He was like a god in the army, and the soldiers trusted him immensely. At this critical juncture, he personally rushed into battle. Only a tired soldier can bring out greater potential.

At the north gate of Jingmen County, Liu Tichun, the right standard of the right battalion of the Dashun Army, General Guoyi, was also constantly yelling: "Quick, rush in and destroy the remnants of the enemy." Fang Yong, you take 10,000 rear troops to immediately go around the Huazi Mountain in the south of the city to set up defenses to block the reinforcements of the Qin army, and you must not take a step back without the order of the general. Just go. ”

"Yes, General."

The subordinate general rode away with the answer. The people near the north gate roared and neighed, and the sound of killing was in the clouds, and the tide-like Dashun army poured straight into the north gate, and the corpses and blood stains on the ground were repeatedly ravaged by countless pairs of big feet. Appalling.

The tenacity of the defender Zhao Jian greatly exceeded Liu Tichun's expectations, he has been fighting the left army for many years, and since Zhu Xianzhen, the left army is under the same strength. Whether it was offensive or defensive, it was never the opponent of the Dashun army, and even suffered from a phobia of the Dashun army.

And this time. He had an army of 25,000, while Zhao Jian only had 4,000 men, and after the city gate was lost, he was still stubbornly engaged in street fighting, which was unimaginable for the previously vulnerable Left Army.

Because of this accident, Liu Tichun had to divide his troops to fight, and he was in a very passive situation.

The image of Jingmen is a gourd, and the concave of Huazi Mountain is the waist of the gourd, the open terrain is collected here, the two sides are low mountains, and there is a small lake in the middle, which is more conducive to arming.

Fang Yong rushed to the Huazi Mountain recess with an army of 10,000, 9,000 infantry in formation, and 1,000 cavalry on the right flank were assembled and formed, ready to counterattack at any time;

As soon as the defensive line was hastily laid out, there was a thunderous roar in the south, and the churning yellow dust was like clouds swept by a hurricane, and the yellow clouds were getting closer and closer, and the roar became louder and louder, deafening, and the earth trembled lightly.

A black Qinzi banner with a galloping iron horse, it didn't stop for a moment, but it continued to accelerate, rushing towards the defense line of the party with an indomitable momentum, the momentum that destroyed the mountains and seas made the lips of the Dashun army in front tremble slightly, and the joints of the hands holding the swords and guns turned white.

"Shoot, shoot!" Fang Yong shouted, and the soldiers with firearms in the face of the arrows fired first, and the sound of the guns was muffled by the sound of rumbling horses' hooves, and the smoke from the muzzles of the guns was pressed and drifted northward, causing tears to break into people's eyes and cough.

Twenty or thirty horsemen of the galloping Qin army were shot and fell to the ground, and the war horses screamed and tumbled on the ground, but more cavalry leaped past and rushed like arrows from the string.

The Dashun army was only enough to put one gun and two arrows, and the Qin army's iron cavalry slammed into the gun array in the front row of the Dashun army with an earth-shattering roar and a yellow dust that covered the sky and the sun;

Many war horses were stabbed to death by two-zhang long spears, but the huge inertia brought by the galloping war horses was like Mount Tai pressing the top, knocking the spearmen in front of them to pieces, and the corpses that flew out upside down and swept the Dashun army down in pieces with the tumbling war horses.

The Qin army's iron cavalry slammed into the gun array of the Dashun army violently regardless of casualties, and a horse fell, at least ten times the Dashun army could be killed and injured, and the junction of the two armies howled terribly, blood spurted like a tide, and the tragic scene was thrilling, and the scalp was numb.

The Dashun army has fought against the Ming army for many years, and has never encountered such a fierce Ming army, and there has never been, including the Guanning Iron Cavalry who was transferred back from Liaodong to strangle the Dashun army, and there has never been this kind of life-for-life fighting;

It's too ruthless, not only to the enemy, but also to himself, and he doesn't take his life seriously at all.

Under this deadly fierce onslaught, after the Qin army paid more than 100 cavalry casualties, it quickly broke through the spear array of the Dashun army, like a huge wave rushing into the sand bank, all this came too fast, so fast that Fang Yong did not have time to make any response, and the 9,000 infantry were completely routed like an avalanche.

Fortunately, the terrain here is narrow, and the strength of the Qin army cannot be spread for a while, so Fang Yong personally led a thousand cavalry on the right wing to counterattack from the slope on the right, and finally slightly blocked the offensive of the Qin army, but many infantry of the Dashun army did not have time to escape, and were trampled by the cavalry on both sides, and there were no dead bodies.

Qin Mu held the Juque sword tightly, killing all over the blood, the head of an enemy army had just been cut off by Niu Wanshan, and his Juque sword then slashed over, splitting the enemy's head to fly several feet high, so he still didn't understand his hatred, and the tragic death of more than a hundred horsemen in front of him made him feel painful;

Because half of the dead were officers above the commander or even the chief, in the Qin army, non-brave people could not be officers, this battle was the first battle for many of his five thousand cavalry, and Jingmen was in danger, Qin Mu had to organize officers to rush into battle, one was to quickly break the formation, and the other was to fight the soul of the army in the first battle.

But sacrificing so many backbones of the army in the first battle still made Qin Mu's eyes red, he kept urging the war horse, drinking like thunder, the giant sword slashed like practice, and the blood splashed so much that he almost couldn't open his eyes.

The boss had red eyes, and the soldiers around him were even more choked back tears, shouting to avenge the heroic sacrifice of their comrades in front, the sound of horses' hooves, shouts, and killings made the heavens and the earth change color.

Knowing that Fang Yong's army of 10,000 was defeated, Liu Tichun was shocked, he had already heard of the bravery of the Qin army, but he didn't expect Fang Yong to be defeated so quickly, and there was no time for him to hesitate.

"Order, let the army in the city withdraw quickly, quickly." After Liu Tiren gave a loud order, he quickly set up a formation in the north of the city with 7,000 men and horses, he has been fighting for many years, Qin Mu came to the cavalry, if he does not arrange to block the army, if he withdraws the army like this, the 25,000 men and horses will definitely be finished, God willing, how much can be kept now.

Qin Mu chased the routed troops to the north of the city, and saw that Liu Tichun had already set up a formation on the Changgang Ridge, and he was all cavalry, and he rushed up the ridge to gain more than he lost, so he had to order to strangle the routed troops under the ridge with all his might.

Everything came too fast, the Dashun army suffered such a heavy setback, the army was panicked, Liu Tichun watched Qin Mu's cavalry gallop back and forth, repeatedly rushing to kill, the corpses under Changgang Ridge were all over the ground, and the blood flowed like a river, but he didn't dare to wave the army down the mountain to save him.

In this battle, Liu Tichun lost nearly 7,000 troops, and when he retreated, there were only less than 17,000 men and horses left, which was because the Qin army was too tired to pursue all the way, so he had the opportunity to retreat with more than 10,000 men and horses.

And for the Dashun army, this battle is not just as simple as how many men and horses are lost, but more importantly, the Qin army's fierce fighting style is not afraid of death, which makes them tremble when they think about it.
