Wu Chao is very lucky, he is still alive until now, except for the countless scars on his body, but he has not died of injuries in the short term.

But he is also unlucky, as the division commander, there should have been a platoon of guard soldiers around him, and these soldiers carefully selected from the vast number of Hongtang soldiers are all special operations talents, and they are also the biggest obstacle to protect Wu Chao.

After a long period of contact, Wu Chao naturally formed a deep friendship with these guards who get along day and night, watching the guards die one after another in order to protect their own safety, Wu Chao's heart is very uncomfortable.

Under the hill, thousands of people in the Qing Dynasty were rapidly climbing, approaching this hill that was not majestic or steep, Wu Chao knew that this time the enemy's impact would probably be the last battle of their Hongtang less than 200 soldiers.

In order to delay the Qing army to the greatest extent, and at the same time do their best to make the Qing people lose their strength, Wu Chao and the others even forced themselves to drink the blood of the Jurchen Mongols with no food and no water, and gnawed on the flesh of the Qing soldiers, and lived a life like a demon.

From the moment they ate the first piece of human flesh, Wu Chao and the others knew that they would eventually be buried on this hill, even if there might be a so-called miracle at that time, but for themselves and others, after eating human flesh, they had already stepped out of the final bottom line of being human beings, and there was no other way to turn around except death.

There was no time to say goodbye to his colleagues, in fact, Wu Chaoye didn't have the strength to speak, the Qing soldiers under the mountain were getting closer and closer to the fortifications where the Hongtang soldiers were located, and the remnants of nearly two hundred soldiers in Hongtang supported their thin bodies, or held long knives, or leaned on the earth wall to get up slowly, squeezing the last strength of their bodies, and staring directly at the approaching Qing soldiers with fierce eyes.

As the vigorous body of the first Qing warrior jumped into the simple fortifications built by the Hongtang soldiers for more than half a month, the silent Hongtang warriors who seemed to be able to fall down in the wind regained their strength in an instant, and killed them with agility like ghosts.

Most of the long knives and spear blades in the hands of the soldiers have been curled, even if they use all their strength to cut the bodies of the Qing soldiers, they may not be able to cut through the cotton armor on the Qing soldiers, so many injured and powerless Hongtang soldiers simply discard the long knives and other weapons in their hands, and pounce on the target Qing soldiers, buttoning their eyes and nose with their hands, and biting their throats and ears with their mouths, etc., the whole thing is like that pervert.

There are fewer and fewer Hongtang soldiers who still have residual energy, and the Qing people continue to pounce on the Hongtang position, drowning Wu Chao and their bodies that are still struggling and fighting.

"It's finally over!!"

Before Wu Chao's eyes turned black, he looked around with a mixture of emotions such as nostalgia and relief, except for the figure of the Qing warrior, he didn't see any familiar faces.

Then, a sharp pain came from the numb body, and under the darkness in front of him, Wu Chao fell softly, but before he fell, he vaguely seemed to hear a dense thunder from the sky, as well as the familiar sound of guns and cannons.

Not long before and after Wu Chao and his entire army were annihilated, from the southern horizon, a galloping cavalry army was approaching Wu Chao and his battlefield at high speed, and all the obstacles that blocked their march route along the way turned into smoke under the powerful impact of the iron cavalry.

Finally strangled this stubborn enemy completely, and the military attachés and soldiers of the Qing army from top to bottom couldn't help but let out a long breath from the bottom of their hearts. For this group of hateful and respectable opponents who fought on the battlefield, the Qing soldiers did not cut off the heads and ears of the enemy soldiers as trophies as before, but sorted out their corpses, dug graves with admiration, and buried them on the spot, which can be regarded as a sign of respect for these warriors.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, there is, there are cavalry !!"

It's just that Prince Daizen and the others haven't completely cleaned up the battlefield, and the scouts who have been scattered out have panicked expressions and come to warn Daizen about them.

"A large number of cavalry troops approached from the south, and it was the !! of the Ming army"

“？？ What the?? ”

Prince Daishan and the generals and ministers below couldn't believe it, and asked one after another.

"How many cavalry?"

"At least 10,000!!"

“！！！”

Even when the officers and soldiers of Liaodong on the front line of the Ming Dynasty were at their peak, the Guanning Iron Cavalry of the Ming Army did not seem to exceed 10,000 at night, but when did the Ming Army in Dongjiang Town have such great energy and establish such a huge cavalry army without the Qing people's intelligence system noticing?

Could it be that giving up the Jingshi was really a bait laid by the Ming people, allowing them to move the main force of the Qing Dynasty to the south, and then the Ming people turned to counterattack the empty Qing border?

Even Prince Daishan himself began to faintly shake the judgment that he had been convinced of before, and began to think more about whether this Qing Dolgon led the main force of the Qing Dynasty to the south was really the plan of the Ming Dynasty.

Of course, this distraction on the battlefield was only a matter of a moment, and then he retracted his mind and began to arrange his troops.

"The whole army goes up the mountain and defends on the spot, Chaohar takes a cavalry army back to Beijing and asks the court for help!!"

"Remember, if our army is defeated here, we must implore Your Majesty to immediately issue a mobilization order!!"

When he heard that the cavalry of the Ming army had more than 10,000 troops, although the soldiers around him had recovered to more than 50,000 in more than half a month, Prince Daishan was a little uneasy in his heart, and he was prepared for the worst.

"Your Highness!!"

Chaohar wanted to be loyal to his duties, and just made a statement, but was immediately interrupted by Prince Daishan.

"Let's go, when our army is alive and dead, how can you make a mistake here!"

"Whoa!!"

The unwilling Jurchen general Chaohar rode on a good horse and galloped towards the north with a team of cavalry.

No wonder Prince Daishan is a little worried, their army has been fighting on this battlefield for as long as half a month, and the sharp spirit of the officers and men has already been exhausted in the confrontation with the Ming army on the mountain, and they have not even had time to rectify, and the combat effectiveness that can be exerted by entering the battlefield again is really unimaginable.

Not to mention the heavy words of their army soldiers, many people were defeated by the Hongtang army, and then they were re-absorbed, and they may be able to see if they fought against the wind, but if they were not defeated in the first wave, Prince Daishan should be glad.

However, the relationship between cavalry and infantry, in the case that the battle array of the Qing army was not as large as that of the Ming army, Prince Daishan could not imagine how much loss this first wave of cavalry charge would cause to this Qing infantry army.
