Chapter 103: Impact
The remaining 3,000 Manchu Iron Cavalry retreated under the leadership of two Niu Lu, and their morale was a little depressed by the defeat just now, and they were no longer as fierce and unstoppable as when they had just rushed into the Linggu.
The entrance of Linggu is also the exit, Wei Hong led 10,000 Dashun army foot soldiers to ambush here, the sound of muskets firing intensively in front of Linggu made him very nervous, he didn't know what the result would be there, but he still ordered everyone to get ready, once the Manchurian cavalry was really defeated by the marquis's musket battalion and retreated, he ordered all the soldiers to rush down and block the Manchurians.
"Lord Counselor, the Manchurians are really defeated and retreated, and the Hou Ye has won!" A Qian general beside Wei Hong shouted happily when he saw that the Manchu cavalry was really defeated by the Hou Ye in the Ling Valley.
"Good! Let everyone get ready, and when General Ben gives the order, he will block this exit, so that the people will have no return, and avenge the dead brothers! Wei Hong's eyes widened, looking at the Manchu Iron Cavalry who had retreated in embarrassment, and he was extremely excited and ordered everyone to get ready.
The defeated three thousand Manchu iron cavalry were getting closer and closer, and just when they only had a few dozen meters to escape from the valley, Wei Hong stood up violently and shouted: "Shoot the arrows!" ”
"Woohoo"
"Ahh
Thousands of arrows were shot out of the mounds on both sides of the exit of the Linggu as if it were raining, and hundreds of Manchu cavalrymen fell from their horses, and many of them even had twenty or thirty arrows stuck in their bodies, and they were shot at the hedgehog.
One of the two remaining Niu Lu of the Manchu cavalry was killed by the rain of arrows.
"There's an ambush!" The last remaining ox to call out in horror was the only one who realized they had been ambushed. Just now they were engaged in a battle with Liu Zongmin's musket battalion, and they were blinded, forgetting for a moment that they were originally pursuing more than 13,000 people, and the musket battalion was only more than 3,000, and there were still 10,000 people who did not show up, but they set up an ambush here.
"Woohoo"
Another round of arrows rained down, and this time the people were on guard and waved their knives to block, but there were still dozens of people who were hit by arrows.
"Kill" Countless figures rushed out of the mountains on both sides, there were tens of thousands, blocking the exit of the valley, and the two sides fought together.
The terrain of Linggu limited the charge of the Manchus, but the Manchus were fierce in the end, although they were ambushed by the Dashun army three times their size, but they did not fall behind, if in peacetime, Lahada Thorn even had the confidence to rely on his own 3,000 iron cavalry to defeat the 10,000 Dashun army that ambushed them, but at this time he just wanted to rush out with the army, and he had no intention of fighting at all.
Lahada stabbed and slashed one after another Dashun soldiers, but more Dashun soldiers came at him, and he couldn't rush out for a while.
"Bang Bang Bang"
Suddenly, there was a dense sound of muskets behind him, and dozens of Eight Banners soldiers fell from their horses in response, and the Eight Banners soldiers who were not dead screamed on the ground after falling from their horses.
Lahada's face changed, and it was Liu Zongmin who came up from the rear with the musket battalion, and continued to move forward.
As the soldiers of the Eight Banners continued to fall, Lahada was in a hurry and shouted anxiously: "Don't fall in love with war, hurry, rush out!" ”
"Hahahaha, Qing dogs, see that you still dare to chase and kill the marquis of Ben, the musket battalion rushes forward and fires! Fire! Liu Zongmin watched the people fall down one by one, laughing, and his heart was full of joy.
After a pillar of incense, under the front and rear of Liu Zongmin's army, more than 1,000 Manchu iron cavalry were killed and wounded, and there were less than 1,500 people left, and with the advance of Liu Zongmin's musket battalion, the Manchu Niulu Lahada's eyes were red.
"Sons, show your courage, the Qing Dynasty Iron Cavalry is invincible! Rush out with me! The Rahada thorns roared, and the first soldiers rushed forward, and as long as they could break out of the valley, they would be able to escape, and they would take revenge for the future.
The remaining more than 1,000 Manchu cavalry followed the Lahada Thorn and rushed bravely, and finally, after paying hundreds of casualties again, the last less than 500 Manchu cavalry finally broke a bloody road under the leadership of the Lahada Thorn.
In a great battle, 5,000 Manchu iron cavalry paid more than 4,500 dead and wounded, and ended in an unprecedented defeat.
Less than 500 remnants of the Manchu army returned to the Manchu camp under the leadership of the Lahada Thorn.
"What did you say!" Duoduo kicked Lahada to the ground with one kick, and heard that most of the 5,000 Qing soldiers who chased and killed Liu Zongmin were killed and wounded, and only came back less than 500, Duoduo was so angry that he almost vomited out a mouthful of blood, and he couldn't believe that when more than 10,000 Han people would be able to encircle and annihilate the 5,000 Qing Eight Banners Iron Cavalry, isn't it a joke.
"Lord Wang, even Ortulazhang died in the battle of Kyoto, it was the incompetence of the minions that only brought back less than five hundred children, begging the prince to give him death!" Rahada said, kneeling before Dodd.
"You tell me what happened." Duoduo took a deep breath, naturally it was impossible to give death to the Lahada Thorn because of this, after all, the Lahada Thorn was just a Niu Lu, and there were no more than a thousand people under his command, and in the case of Ortura and several other Niu Lu were killed in battle, it was not bad that he could bring back nearly five hundred people.
Rahada told the story in detail.
Duoduo kept frowning after hearing this, the intensive use of muskets made by the Han people could actually restrain the iron cavalry of the Qing Dynasty? Duoduo shook his head again, this is definitely not the case, it should be limited by the terrain, the Great Qing Iron Cavalry can not play a fast rush to kill the result, otherwise, although the power of the Han musket is great, but there are also many shortcomings, the loading speed is too slow, and there is almost no mobility at all, once it rains, it cannot be used, how can it be compared with the Great Qing Iron Cavalry.
Hum! Duoduo sneered, he originally thought that the Han people had used some demon magic, but it turned out to be just opportunistic, but it was a pity that thousands of my Qing Dynasty disciples were killed.
After this battle, when the Manchu iron cavalry encountered a large number of muskets in the future, they had to change their tactics and no longer charge fiercely.
Tongguan, Liu Zongmin took Ortula's head and returned with a big victory, and Tongguan shook!
Li Zicheng immediately met with Liu Zongmin.
After Liu Zongmin bowed, he offered Ortura's head and told him about his annihilation of more than 4,500 Manchu soldiers in one fell swoop.
"Sure enough, it's the head of Ortura, the general under Duoduo!" Li Zicheng trembled and stroked Ortura's head, people who didn't know thought that the head was a peerless treasure, Li Zicheng held Ortula's head, and finally shed tears, and cried out loudly for a while.
In two months, he was defeated in every battle with the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and nearly one million elite troops of the Dashun Dynasty were lost.
After venting his emotions, Li Zicheng threw Ortula's head on the ground and ordered: "Come on, hang this head on the gate of Tongguan for me, which has strengthened the morale of my Dashun army and spread it to the world that General Liu Zongmin, Marquis of Ruhou, annihilated 20,000 Manchurians, and was specially named the mighty Duke of Dashun!" ”
Li Zicheng can become a hero or some brains, the Dashun army was defeated in a row, and the morale was low in the face of the Qing army, so it was difficult to hold Tongguan like this, so he would boast about the results, but with the head of Ortura, no one in the Dashun army would doubt it, and no one wanted to doubt it, and this move really restored the morale of the Dashun army a lot.
Li Zicheng asked Liu Zongmin about the specific process of the battle, in fact, he wanted to know how Liu Zongmin fought with more than 10,000 people to almost wipe out the 5,000 Manchu Iron Cavalry.
Liu Zongmin said it without any concealment.
When he knew that the musket captured from the Ming army was so powerful, Li Zicheng regretted that he had not been at the beginning, the Dashun army had been fighting with the Ming army for more than ten years, and the captured Ming army muskets were no less than tens of thousands, but almost all of them were turned into swords, otherwise they could form a musket army of tens of thousands of people, and the Manchu iron cavalry, why be afraid!
In the Manchu camp, Duoduo almost gritted his teeth when he heard that Ortura's head was hung at the gate of Tongguan.
"Come on, take back Ortura's head at all costs, the warriors of the Qing Dynasty can't be so humiliated!" Dodor ordered.
"Wow!" Immediately, more than a dozen marksmen set off for Tongguan.
Duoduo gritted his teeth: "Li Zicheng, Liu Zongmin!" When the sixty red-clothed cannons transferred by this king arrive at Tongguan, the two of you will not be able to die well! ”
Although Tongguan is majestic and difficult to attack, if you have sixty red-clothed cannons in hand, it will not be a problem! Duoduo is waiting to personally behead Li Zicheng and Liu Zongmin!
When the Shanxi war between Li Zicheng and the Manchu Qing came to an end, under the city of Jiujiang, after nearly ten days of fierce attack, Zuo Liangyu killed and wounded nearly 100,000 horses, but still failed to break through Jiujiang. At this time, the military rations of Zuo Liangyu's army were about to run out, and Zuo Liangyu had to order the army to loot more than a dozen surrounding counties again.
