Chapter 579: Breaking the Array

There were a total of 9,000 people in the two Chu cavalry, and after this battle, only more than 6,000 people ran out.

The horses' hooves flew, and the six thousand horsemen ran fast.

Behind them, the pursuers were in hot pursuit, and they couldn't get rid of it.

After running like this for a long time, when he reached Liudaogou, he saw another cavalry rushing from the west.

Qin Chengye turned his head to look, and his face changed.

Cai Jiazhen?!

The hooves of the 30,000 iron horsemen sounded like thunder, and they slashed towards Chu Cai.

For Qin Chengye, this moment was a little uneasy.

The Qin and Cai families have supported each other for decades, but now they have completely opposite each other.

The Guanning Iron Cavalry was divided into two, but here and now they were going to fight each other......

"The left wing kills the enemy with the old man! The rest, keep moving! ”

Qin Chengye shouted, turned the horse's head, and went straight to Cai Jiazhen.

Wang Xiao quickly turned his head to look, but saw that Qin Chengye also glanced back at himself.

- Take them away.

The moment their eyes met, the horses galloped, and Qin Chengye had already led a thousand people to strip away from the brigade......

"Qin Chengye is here again!"

Wang Xiao was hugged forward, and there was only such a loud shout behind him......

Facing the strong wind, Wang Xiao's eyes entered the sand, and he felt very sour.

He sniffed, but his heart grew more determined.

Gradually, the sound of the water flowing in the Hunhe River came from afar.

"There are Jiannu guarding the bridge!" Someone in the Chu army shouted.

"Go east!" Wang Xiao shouted.

Five thousand men turned to the east and rushed again into the mountains.

But I heard the neighing of people and horses in the mountain road, and there were Qing troops coming from all directions.

"Speed up! Don't worry about horsepower......"

~~

Before dawn, when the night is at its darkest.

On the south side of the Hunhe River, between the mountains, countless Qing soldiers galloped in all directions.

"Prince Chuanrui's military order! Don't go, Wang Xiao, Qin Chengye! ”

The shouting order kept ringing, and the Qing army held on to the torches and ran back and forth.

Some of them knew that the emperor had died, and some of them didn't know yet. But they all understood one thing - what Prince Rui wanted was to defeat Chu Qi and kill the thief leader Wang Xiao.

This is different from the emperor's order of 'total annihilation', which is a rational decision that can really quell the turmoil as soon as possible.

At this time, a Qing army rode through the mountains and forests to convey the order to the various teams.

"Defeat Chu Kou, don't leave Wang Xiao and Qin Chengye......"

In the woodland behind them, Wang Xiao glanced at the Hunhe River again, and made a decision in his heart.

He picked up Qin Xiaozhu and put him on the back of a horse in Qinshan Lake.

"You continue to hide here, and in an hour break north and cross the Hun."

Qin Shanhu didn't know Wang Xiao's intentions, so he habitually responded: "The last general will take the order." ”

"Don't stop after crossing the river, go all the way north, and then turn west when you reach the Horqin grassland. I'll try to join you in Daqinggou, but you don't have to wait for me. ”

"Yes."

Wang Xiao casually rowed another thousand people, and said, "You charge with me." ”

A thousand soldiers stepped onto their horses, Wang Xiao tied the knife tightly to his hand with a bandage, and led the troops to rush towards the defenders on the bank of the Hunhe River.

In the team, Qin Xuance lowered his head and didn't let Wang Xiao see him.

He knew what Wang Xiao was going to do, but this time, he didn't plan to let Wang Xiao send him away like a weakling......

~~

Qing army camp.

Dorgon slowly walked up to the battlefield.

Where his gaze fell, Huang Taiji's body was still lying there.

Tears welled up in Dorgon's eyes, and he leaned down, his trembling hand gripping on Huang Taiji's dragon boots.

"Starling, ......"

With this wail, he wept bitterly.

"Why did you just go like that? I was raised by you since I was a child, and you took me to falconry and taught me to read...... Do you know? I have regarded you as a brother and even more as a father...... How can you just go like that? ”

The cry was heartbreaking.

Dorgon is truly mournful and truly lost.

He looked at the corpse in front of him, and for a moment he couldn't tell whether he was respecting this brother. Is it hate?

It was this brother who single-handedly raised himself and gave him the greatest power and glory.

But it was also this brother who single-handedly snatched the position that his father Khan was supposed to leave to him, and ordered his biological mother to be martyred......

For the rest of his life, Dorgon will never forget the tears on his mother's face when she died.

- Starling, how can you die like this? You really should...... Death at my hands. You know? Countless times, I can't wait to dig out your heart with my own hands and see why it can be so dirty!

At this moment, for Dorgon, mourning is also true, hatred is also true, sorrow is also true, joy is also true.

He slammed his forehead on the ground, burying his whole face on the ground, but the corners of his mouth slowly hooked up a sneer.

- You are still dead, you died too well. You didn't even realize it, did you? Ever since you got sick, you've been a burden to the Qing Dynasty......

Long.

Dorgon finally finished his mourning and stood up.

He already has a firm understanding in his heart - everything I do is for the sake of the Qing Dynasty.

"Wang Xiao, I really didn't misunderstand you. I'm mad at starling, you're doing a good job. Now, I can finally kill you. Dorgon said to himself.

He could see very clearly, and he could see where Guan Ning's transformation came from.

And as long as there is no Wang Xiao, this army can still be easily defeated as before......

"Newspaper. Prince Rui, Wang Xiao led a small group of soldiers and horses to try to break through the defense line of the Hunhe River, but they have been routed by our army and are currently in pursuit. ”

"Newspaper. Wang Xiao suddenly turned around, joined forces with Qin Chengye, and turned into Dadonggou. ”

Dolgon's eyes lit up, and he ordered, "Keep an eye on them and pursue them with all your might." ”

"Wow."

"Newspaper. There was a force of more than 4,000 Chu cavalry taking advantage of our army to pursue Wang Xiao, taking advantage of the chaos to break through the defense line of the Hunhe River and go north. ”

Dolgon sneered when he heard this.

But he is not Huang Taiji, he still has a long time, enough for him to complete the great cause of entering the Central Plains. Therefore, he will not use the national strength of the Qing Dynasty to consume it needlessly, just to appease his anger.

At least for now, the first thing he needs to do is stabilize the situation.

"Don't worry about them, continue to chase Wang Xiao and Qin Chengye ......"

~~

The morning sun rises slowly from among the cols.

Huang Taiji's body was transported back to Shengjing, and a new page was turned in the Qing Dynasty.

The fires in the mountains and forests and Zhaoling were gradually extinguished, and the armies of the various banners were relocated.

The territory of the Qing Dynasty, which had not been disturbed for a long time, gradually calmed down.

Shengjing, where the war finally stayed away for a while.

Everyone inside and outside the city wore linen and filial piety, and held the emperor's funeral, preparing to welcome the next monarch.

Only between the mountains of Liaodong is there a small group of Chu cavalry that is being surrounded and intercepted......

~~

Four days later, Dorgon finally got the final news.

"Report! Our army annihilated Chu Kou at the foot of the tomb mountain thirty miles west of Xingjing City, and Qin Chengye had already awarded the head. ”

This was to be expected, but Dolgon frowned and asked, "What about Wang Xiao?" ”

"Still searching for the corpses of the rebels......"

Two days later, Dodor returned.

Again, Dorgon asked the doubts in his mind.

"What about Wang Xiao?"

Duoduo furrowed his brows and replied, "I haven't found the body yet......"

"Why didn't you find it?!" Dolgon was furious.

Everyone else was afraid of Dolgon, but Duoduo was not afraid, and muttered to himself: "I saw him before I annihilated Chu Kou, and I shot him with an arrow. At that time, Chu Kou had been surrounded by layers, and he had no way to escape. ”

"I want to see his body!" Dorgon snorted angrily, paced two steps, and said, "Tell me about the specifics." ”

At that time, Qin Shanhe was the vanguard, and Cai Jiazhen led the troops to surround him...... Qin Shanhe personally beheaded Qin Chengye's old horseman, and Chu Kou scattered in all directions, so I covered the army and chased him, and no one escaped. ”

"Qin Shanhe? Have you searched for him in the army? ”

"Search, dig three feet into the ground." Duoduo patted his thigh lightly and said slowly: "Brother, if you believe me, Wang Xiao will die." Presumably the body is unrecognizable......"

~~

At the same time, thirty miles west of Xingjing City, Tomb Mountain, Qing army camp.

Qin Shanhe, who killed his father and son, was sitting in the corner, slowly wiping a helmet with his hand.

It was empty underneath the helmet.

But it was as if an old voice was talking.

"Shanhe, promise to do one thing for my father, kill me......"

"Quick! Kill me! ”

Slash down with a single sword......

Qin Chengye's head fell, falling into a huge abyss.

Qin Shanhe threw himself beside the abyss, staring at it, and only saw endless darkness......
