Shah Ruzhen to Isfahan direction, Ao Bai with more than 30,000 cavalry of the Eight Banners retreated, Huang Xuan led nearly 7,000 Ming cavalry to pursue, the iron cavalry stepped on the dust, the rifle guns continued to sound, some of the defeated Qing army turned back to shoot the Ming army, and the pursuing Ming army shot forward to shoot the Qing army.

"Smack! Syllable! ---After a burst of gunfire, seven or eight cavalrymen with eight banners running behind tumbled and dismounted, not knowing whether they were alive or dead.

"Rush!" Huang Xuan rode his horse, jerked the horse's buttocks, and led the Ming army to continue to pursue.

The Ming Dynasty occupies the best horse farms in Kazakhstan, Xinjiang, Mongolian grass carp, and American steppes, while in terms of Manchu Eight Banners, there is only the barren Braha Gobi steppe south of the Aral Sea, and there are not many high-quality war horses, so in terms of the quality of war horses, the war horses of the Ming army are undoubtedly superior.

The Ming army was able to hang behind the Manchurian Eight Banners all the time, and from time to time catch up with some backward Manchurian Eight Banners.

"Haha, what bullshit is full of eight flags, a bad seed, a rabble!" Huang Xuan laughed, pulled the bolt to withdraw the cartridge case, raised the gun and fired another shot, and a cavalryman with eight banners in front of him fell from his horse in response.

Huang Xuan quickly pulled the bolt again to withdraw the cartridge case, raised his hand and continued to shoot, and another cavalryman with the Eight Banners fell from his horse. I have to say that Huang Xuan's marksmanship is excellent, not to mention one hundred shots, eight or nine shots out of ten shots are absolutely no problem.

Of course, in addition to individual marksmanship, the quality of the gun is also crucial.

Compared with the first generation rifle imitated by the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the second-generation rifle used by the Ming Dynasty now not only has higher accuracy and longer range, but also can hold five bullets at a time.

The Manchu Qing Dynasty's craftsmanship was insufficient, the gun itself was very rough, and the bullets were equally rough, even if the range and power were not small, but the accuracy was not worth mentioning.

"Smack! Syllable! Smack---,poof! Poof---" There was another burst of gunfire, and nearly ten backward cavalrymen of the Eight Banners fell from their horses.

"Damn the Ming Army!" Ao Bai gritted his teeth, the Ming army was in hot pursuit, and had been chasing for more than ten miles, and the Eight Banners had killed and injured hundreds of people because of this, and there were still more than ten miles to retreat into Isfahan, and hundreds of casualties had to be paid.

Of course, the casualties of these 1,000 people cannot be compared with the casualties of nearly 10,000 just now.

However, there are still 30,000 people in the Eight Banners, and it is really shameful to be chased and killed by less than 7,000 Ming troops, which is equivalent to the shame of being pushed by the Ming army just now.

Ao Bai wanted to order the remaining 30,000 Eight Banners to stop the defeat and retreat to Isfahan, and turn around to fight the pursuing Ming army.

Just now the Ming army stopped in place, the firepower is strong, the eight banners can not break through the firepower and the Ming army to fight, but now the Ming army dares to pursue, the eight banners can be killed with the Ming army as long as they turn the horse's head, Ao Bai has reason to believe that the eight banners may not be able to break through the strong firepower of the Ming army, and they will attack the Ming army closely, but now there is a chance to turn the horse's head to kill with the Ming army, and the remaining 30,000 eight banners want to defeat less than 7,000 Ming troops, it is easy.

However, Ao Bai finally held back and did not do it on the spur of the moment.

In addition to the fact that he was injured in his left shoulder and right leg and could not lead the Eight Banners to fight, he also knew that the morale of the Eight Banners was very low because of the blow of the Ming army just now, and at the same time, the time had passed, and the reason why their 40,000 Eight Banners dared to go out of the city to attack the Ming army of 7,000 people was only because the main force of the Ming army had not arrived, and this Ming army was adventurous, and there was a certain amount of time for them to annihilate the Ming army.

But now, this time has passed, not to mention the main force of the army, that is, the other parts of the Ming army after this period of time, has also come not far away, once the Eight Banners turn the horse's head and the pursuing Ming army fight, it is likely to be surrounded by more Ming troops in the follow-up, and the Eight Banners will be unable to escape.

The failure of the 40,000 Eight Banners to attack the Ming army may have been a big blow, but if the 40,000 Eight Banners were wiped out, the blow would be fatal, and the Qing Dynasty could no longer bear such losses.

"I'm ashamed of the regent!" Ao Bai's heart was full of humiliation, and the old man muttered with tears.

Seeing that the city of Isfahan was getting closer and closer, the cavalry of the Eight Banners was about to flee to the city of Isfahan under the pursuit of the Ming cavalry, and their morale was extremely low, which was inversely proportional to the high morale when they left the city not long ago.

The Eight Banners fled into the city of Isfahan.

"Smack! Syllable! The Ming cavalry also chased ---- city of Isfahan, and the Ming cavalry who rushed in front shot at a group of cavalrymen of the Eight Banners at the rear, and instantly killed more than 20 cavalry of the Eight Banners who had not yet had time to enter the city of Isfahan.

----A Ming cavalryman with a light machine gun reined in his horse more than 300 meters in front of the gate of Isfahan, and held a light machine gun to shoot at the last dozen or so cavalrymen of the Eight Banners who had not yet rushed into the city of Isfahan.

"Poof! Burst! Poof---- "The man turned on his back, and six more cavalrymen with eight banners were shot and left outside the city.

Seeing that the gates of Isfahan City were closed, Huang Xuan and all the other Ming soldiers reined in their horses and stopped charging forward.

"Phew! The bullshit full of eight flags, under the pursuit of the master, escaped like a rabbit, what a thing! Huang Xuan scolded under the city of Isfahan, his tone full of contempt for the Eight Banners.

The same was true of the other Ming cavalry, shouting at the city of Isfahan one by one, loudly mocking the incompetence and cowardice of the Eight Banners.

The Manchu generals of the Qing army on the walls of Isfahan turned blue with anger.

"Fire them, blow them up!" The Manchurian general yelled angrily.

----Suddenly, the Qing artillery on the city wall immediately opened fire, as many as 100 cannons opened fire at the same time, and the shells fell into the Ming cavalry three or four hundred meters away, killing many Ming cavalry.

"! Grandma's, go back! Huang Xuan himself was almost blown up by the sudden bombardment of the Qing army's artillery, and he retreated out of the range of the Qing army's artillery with the Ming cavalry.

Looking at the dozens of soldiers who were killed in the city, Huang Xuan was very distressed, and couldn't help but scold: "Damn, let you be arrogant for a while, and when the emperor leads the main force of my army to arrive, let you see and understand, what is firepower!" ”

With the defeat of the Eight Banners cavalry into Isfahan, Huang Xuan led the cavalry of the Ming army under his command to chase down the city of Isfahan, which meant that the Ming army was approaching the city of Isfahan, and another big battle was coming.

Only half a pillar of incense time, 6 continued to have the Ming cavalry killed under the city of Isfahan, two hours later, the main force of the Ming army led by Zhu Cijiao also came to the city of Isfahan, although along the way left a lot of Ming troops stationed in the city, as well as in the siege and the first two battles of the Ming army killed and wounded, to the city of Isfahan under the Ming army still has as many as 440,000 people.

Isfahan City is the third large line of defense deployed by Dolgon, and it was the original capital of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, which is of great significance, this time Dolgon deployed 600,000 Qing troops and personally commanded it, obviously with high hopes for this line of defense!

It's a pity that it is unknown whether this line of defense can achieve the goal of killing and injuring a large number of Ming troops as Dolgon expected.

However, before the outbreak of the Battle of Isfahan, the result of the battle between the Shah Ru Zhencheng, the Ao Bai 40,000 Manchu Eight Banners and Huang Xuan's 7,000 Ming Army, first made Dolgon not come up in one breath and spurt out a mouthful of blood.
