Chapter 97: A Big Victory
"Master!"
When the surrounding Manchu Eight Banner soldiers saw this scene, their eyes were red, and they all fell into madness, roaring and rushing towards Feng Yuan.
The Manchu cavalry is the elite of a hundred battles, even if the main general dies, it will not be defeated for a while, but it will be aroused to anger, and he wants to kill Feng Yuan to avenge the main general!
Feng Yuan laughed, not afraid.
No matter how many people there are on the other side, there are only a dozen people who can attack him.
If it was an ordinary time, Feng Yuan was surrounded by two or three thousand Manchu elite soldiers, and in the case of the opponent's death and refusal to retreat, there was a great chance that he would be surrounded and killed by the opponent.
But now in the battle formation of the two armies, the opposing lord will be beheaded, and it will not be long before he will be defeated. Feng Yuan only needs to protect himself during this time.
Rumble!
At this time, Feng Yuan waved his palms, urging the mixed energy, taking advantage of the situation to hone his martial arts in the battle array, and blasted out with one palm, as strong as a dragon, and suddenly blasted a cavalryman next to him, even with people and horses.
Click! The war horses and cavalry weighing thousands of pounds fell to the ground, and immediately overwhelmed dozens of Eight Banner soldiers.
Feng Yuan was like the eye of the whirlpool, attracting the attacks of many Eight Banner soldiers around him.
At this time, seeing the scene of Feng Yuan personally charging into battle and killing the enemy's main general, the five or six hundred cavalry under Feng Yuan suddenly became excited, roaring and rushing into the chaotic Eight Banners soldiers and horses.
"The enemy general is dead!"
The cavalry roared loudly and loudly for miles.
Liu Liangzuo's department, which was attacking the Fengyuan soldiers and horses battle array, tens of thousands of soldiers raised their heads and looked in the direction where the sound came from, and the soldiers who were in the open line of sight on the periphery of the battlefield saw the chaos of the Manchu cavalry, and their faces also changed.
"The Qing army was defeated?"
Liu Liangzuo rode a horse, his face changed wildly, and without hesitation, he turned around and withdrew with his own soldiers.
The defeat of the Manchu cavalry made him extremely flustered, and he did not have the slightest will to fight at all, and began to play a "good style" of withdrawing when he met the enemy.
The tens of thousands of soldiers and horses under his command, without the strict military law of the Tartar Commander's team, instantly degenerated from a wolf-like tiger to a soft-footed shrimp.
Seeing Liu Liangzuo leading people to retreat, tens of thousands of soldiers and horses suddenly collapsed, and they each fled frantically in all directions.
"Kill!"
"The enemy is defeated!
Several lieutenant generals who replaced Feng Yuan in the battle formation began to counterattack and chase with soldiers and horses at this time, among which Zhao Heng took the reorganized firecrackers and attacked in the direction where the Manchu cavalry was located.
Seeing this scene, the Manchu cavalry, who were besieging Fengyuan, finally couldn't hold back anymore, and could no longer care about avenging the main general, and began to turn around and flee in the northwest direction.
The 5,000 Manchu cavalry plus Liu Liangzuo's tens of thousands of soldiers and horses were defeated once and could no longer have the will to fight.
Part of the Tatar cavalry was entangled and could not escape, and the number of cavalrymen who managed to escape did not exceed three thousand.
The lord will be killed, and the soldiers have no heart to fight, even if Sun Wu is resurrected and reincarnated, it will be difficult to recover the defeat.
After Feng Yuan escaped, he immediately sent Zhao Heng to lead the cavalry to continue the pursuit, and it was best to bring Liu Liangzuo's head back.
At this time, seeing his own victory, on the Sizhou city wall in the distance, there was a cheer of the soldiers.
The tens of thousands of soldiers in the city were all stunned after knowing the news that Feng Yuan had defeated tens of thousands of Manchu soldiers and horses outside the city and won a complete victory, and then they were a little incredulous.
Since Wanli, the Ming Dynasty has not had a great victory of beheading thousands and defeating tens of thousands.
The Battle of Salhu and the Battle of Songshan were all absolute advantages of the Ming army, but the result was a great defeat and loss for the Ming army.
The only Ning Jin victory that can be boasted of is only to defend the city and behead hundreds.
With this record, some people boasted that Yuan Chonghuan, the main general of the Battle of Ningjin, had become the Optimus Pillar of the Ming Dynasty, the contemporary Yue Wumu.
It was precisely because of the previous achievements that the soldiers in the city, including Gao Jie, couldn't believe the news.
However, when they went out of the city to clean up the battlefield and saw the more than 2,000 Tartar heads that had been decapitated, they could no longer speak.
These people were severely shocked and became honest. Let it be reorganized as it is.
Whether it is Gao Jie or his lieutenant generals, they are very cooperative.
"After this battle, the myth of the invincibility of the Manchu cavalry was shattered, and the Duoduo army suffered a setback, and it didn't take two or three months to breathe!"
Feng Yuan could have imagined that when the news of this battle spread all over the world, his fame would definitely be able to reach a higher level.
......
In May of the eighteenth year of Chongzhen, the Manchu Beylerbolo led 5,000 cavalry and Liu Liangzuo's 60,000 troops to pursue Gao Jie and march to Sizhou. and Zhu Lunsheng, the king of Zhou, who came to help, fought outside the city.
Zhu Lunsheng, the king of Zhou, commanded 20,000 soldiers and horses, and more than 60,000 enemy troops faced each other, and the two sides fought for more than an hour.
Subsequently, the prince of Zhou led the cavalry to raid, slashed Bolo, and won a complete victory.
In this battle, 13,000 were beheaded, of which 2,100 were Tartar heads.
The news came out, and there was a big earthquake in the Central Plains and Jiangnan.
As Feng Yuan expected, Duoduo lost more than 2,000 Eight Banner soldiers, and his heart was so distressed that he suspended the attack on the city and pleaded guilty to Dorgon.
Taking advantage of the momentum of defeating the Manchu soldiers and horses, Feng Yuan sent troops to sweep Fengyang Mansion.
In June, the Manchu army on the West Road broke the Shun army, Li Zicheng was defeated and killed at Jiugong Mountain, and the general Liu Zongmin was killed. The rest of the generals of the Shun army each led their troops to break through.
In July, Liu Fangliang, Yuan Zongdi, and other generals of the Shun army were surrounded and suppressed by the Qing army, and sent people to send a message to Huaibei, wanting to take refuge in the king of Zhou.
Feng Yuan gladly accepted and sent a fleet to send grain and grass to these people, so that they could station troops in Huguang, Anqing and other places to act as the western barrier of Jinling.
At the end of July, the Manchu Ying prince Azig led his troops eastward, Xialuzhou, and the soldiers were in Hezhou, and the troops were directed at Yingtianfu and threatened Jinling.
Emperor Chongzhen hurriedly sent the university scholar Ma Shiying to supervise the army, with Huang Degong as the general, and deployed defenses along the river. And sent a decree to Huaibei to let Feng Yuan send troops to support.
Feng Yuan received the news and sent a naval division composed of Cao soldiers to go up the river to prevent the Manchu army from crossing the river.
After the news of the victory in Sizhou spread all over the world, the morale of the Ming army was improved, and they no longer fled from the wind.
Huang Degong fought bravely and loyally, and under the guarantee of sufficient food and salary, he led his troops to strictly defend to the death, and Azig could only look at the river and sigh, unable to cross the Yangtze River moat.
In the past ten years, the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty have good combat effectiveness at the beginning, often able to defeat the thieves with fewer enemies, even in the face of the Manchu cavalry, the field battle can still defend the city.
It was only in the later period that the Ming treasury became increasingly empty and food was scarce, which led to low morale and a great drop in combat power, and anyone dared to lose.
Chongzhen got two or three million taels of silver by raiding his house some time ago, and he had the guarantee of food and salary.
In addition, Ma Shiying personally supervised the teacher, so that most of the food and salary were distributed to the soldiers. Huang Degong's tens of thousands of soldiers and horses have greatly boosted their morale and increased their combat effectiveness, which can be used.
Under these circumstances, the invincible Manchu army had to stop, and the battle situation became a stalemate.
