32 Break through obstacles

The soldiers of the Han army were sandwiched between the Hongtang army and the main force of the Qing Dynasty, in a dilemma, they couldn't escape if they wanted to, they couldn't fight if they wanted to, and they could only watch their own team gradually become smaller and smaller.

"Fight with the Jurchen barbarians!! There is no way to live for the brethren!! ”

Among the remnants of the Han army, a middle-level general finally couldn't resist the threat of death and shouted loudly in the ranks. At the same time, the soldiers directly under him who followed him, under his leadership, reflexively killed the Qing Dynasty Governor team who was supervising the battle in the rear.

With the person who took the lead, the burning flame in the hearts of the Han army's children could finally burst out unscrupulously. In the face of the powerful Hongtang army, everyone was unwilling, but at least they had shouted various slogans and released the necessary goodwill; On the other hand, the Jurchens of the Qing Dynasty not only despised and bullied the Han soldiers in their daily lives, but also squeezed their only property.

The situation of the Han people in the Qing Dynasty has never been better, and the life of the Han people is comparable to that of cattle and horses, and it is also the Han soldiers who dare not get out of this official skin even if they are oppressed for the sake of their relatives and themselves, because they are afraid that they and their relatives will be reduced to the situation of livestock-like treatment.

But in all fairness, people are flesh and blood, and in the face of the miserable experience of the same people, even if they only have a little conscience, in fact, who is not full of hatred for the Jurchen barbarians of the Qing Dynasty?

It's just that under the burden of life and family, everyone hides this hatred in their hearts, and they don't dare to leak it out in the slightest, but now that they are on the verge of death, everyone can no longer hide the anger and hatred in their hearts.

In fact, the generals of the Han army who jumped out at this time and led everyone to kill back were just a chess piece planted in the Han army by the Hongmen spy war.

The sudden rebellion of the Han soldiers, towards the Qing Dynasty Governor's team behind them, and the approaching Jurchen infantry, could only be regarded as the icing on the cake for Wu Chao and them, and brought some trouble to the Qing army a little. Because Wu Chao knew very well that this Han army on the verge of collapse, after defeating the warlords, was more likely to flee in the direction of the two wings without the Jurchen army, and would no longer be tricked into really attacking the deep Jurchen army.

In the end, this group of Han soldiers just wants to find a way to survive, they are not strong enough to dare to take their lives to fight to the death, otherwise they would not be mixed up in such an ordinary unbearable field now.

However, the rebellion and escape of the Han soldiers finally allowed the main force of Hongtang to completely free up their hands to face the powerful Qing cavalry.

After paying more than 2,000 casualties, the main army of Hongtang in front of the valley contained the onslaught of 10,000 cavalry of the Qing Dynasty at night. With the first army facing the Qing cavalry to resist the impact of the other party, while slowly retreating back to dissolve the impact pressure, and when the Han soldiers got out of the battle with the Hongtang army, the Qing cavalry was unconsciously wrapped by the Hongtang army like a cloth bag, except for the cavalry on the back road was not surrounded by the Hongtang army, most of the Jurchen cavalry had fallen into the encirclement of the Hongtang army.

"Rush over, rush over!"

"Work harder ahead!"

The Jurchen knights were shouting in their native dialect, and once the cavalry lost its speed and other advantages, it would lose five or six points of strength that it could exert itself. After using the lives of thousands of companions to contain the footsteps of the Qing cavalry, they gradually eroded the activity space of the Qing cavalry through skillful cooperation and the pikemen who had been prepared in the rear.

If you look down from the sky, you can find that more than 10,000 main soldiers of Hongtang have formed a U-shaped formation, and in the center of the U-shaped cloth bag mouth is the Qing cavalry. It's just that with the passage of time, the vanguard arrows of the Qing cavalry piercing into the bottom of the cloth bag are gradually wearing down the cloth bag array and other grounds, until the Hongtang formation at the bottom is chiseled through.

This was expected, when the first Qing cavalry to rush out of the Hongtang formation with a hot sweat on their faces, a long knife waved away, only to suddenly find that they had finally pierced the formation of this Ming army.

More and more cavalry of the Qing army rushed out of the Hongtang battle array, and they should have been happy, but suddenly discovered a sad fact: the Hongtang army fought and retreated, and unconsciously brought their cavalry to the valley formed by two hills.

At the other end of the valley, a detachment of Hongtang's division was fighting with the Qing army that came to attack Hongtang's army in Qingxi City, and the two sides fought extremely anxiously.

Under such a situation, the Qing cavalry Ezhen Adali immediately decided not to turn the front, but directly led the large group of cavalry towards the valley confrontation battlefield not far ahead, and the soldiers of the first regiment were going to raid Hongtang from behind.

The fighters on the battlefield are changing rapidly, and as the commander of an army, he has full autonomy to judge the rest of the battles while completing the commander's orders. In Adali's opinion, if he could defeat the Hongtang Partial Division in front of him, which did not look very powerful, in one fell swoop, and let the defenders of Qingxi City free up their hands to assist their own army in besieging this remaining Ming army from behind, then this battle would basically be regarded as the result of his foundation.

A thought made this war come to an unexpected ending that was unexpected.

It stands to reason that the choice made by the cavalry Ezhen Adali was not wrong, and it should even be said to be the most reasonable choice, but it was precisely this reasonable choice that made the Qing Dynasty, a cavalry with more than 8,000 remnants, finally enter the abyss.

The choice of the battlefield in this valley was deliberately done by Wu Chao, since Wu Chao was confident that he would face off head-on with the Qing Dynasty, a Qing reinforcement force with a scale of 80,000, then they must have been fully prepared.

More than 8,000 Qing cavalry rushed out of the encirclement, along the not too narrow mountain road in the valley, galloping towards the rear battlefield three miles ahead, seeing that the Ming army in front of them was getting closer and closer, and even the cavalry who charged on the front line could see the panic, consternation and other expressions on the face of the Ming army when they found that their huge cavalry was coming.

Before the hideous smile on Adali's face turned into a killing machine, after a series of loud noises, Adali's whole person suddenly felt light, and after that, it was pitch black in front of him, and he could no longer feel the slightest light.
