Thousands of Eight Banner cavalry rushed past the Ming cavalry to intercept and kill the main force of the Ming army on the march. In Luckedhun's heart, the surprise attack he led his troops was very sudden, and the Ming army should not have much time to set up defenses. Tens of thousands of infantry of the Ming army were in a state of marching, and the queue was more than ten miles long. As long as you choose its weak point to surprise the attack, even if you can't completely defeat this Ming army and make it chaotic, it is not a big problem.

As long as the Ming army is in confusion, it will take a long time to reorganize and march, so that the task of slowing down the speed of its march will be completed, and it will be able to buy time for the retreat of the Qing people. This is the reason why Luckedhun insisted on attacking knowing that he could not defeat the Ming army with four or five thousand cavalry.

Thousands of cavalry were racing wildly, getting closer and closer to the main formation of the Ming army, and when he saw the chariots placed in front of the Ming army, Lec's heart sank.

Although the Ming army's chariot array is not complete, it does not prevent him from rushing in, Ke Lekdehun knows that he can lead the cavalry to rush into the Ming army array from the chariot gap, but the thousands of cavalry under his command will also be divided by the chariot, and the Ming army behind the chariot array has been arranged into a defensive array, even if he can rush in, he can't rush far, and once the speed of the war horse slows down, the cavalry caught in the Ming army's military formation will become a lamb to be slaughtered.

Seeing that he was less than a hundred steps away from the Ming army's vehicle array, Luck Dehun sighed and pulled the reins, and the war horse rushed out against the flank of the Ming army's array, but he still didn't choose to hit the Ming army's array directly.

Thousands of cavalry rushed wildly, and the wind made the Ming soldiers change color in shock, and the soldiers clenched their weapons in their hands, waiting for the moment when the Qing cavalry rushed in. However, just as they were about to collide, they changed direction and ran out of their own formation. The soldiers of the Ming army were surprised, but their mood relaxed, the power of the cavalry impact was too great, making them feel like they were after the catastrophe.

"It's full of cowardice, quickly reload the gunpowder projectile!" The officers chanted, conveying orders. The Manchu cavalry had just arrived so fast that the artillery fire had no time to reload at all.

Looking at the Manchu cavalry rushing out diagonally, Chen Yue's expression was very solemn, he knew that the Qing cavalry did not give up the attack and escape, but were looking for weak points to attack. The queue is more than ten miles long, and the cavalry of the Qing army can choose to attack anywhere, is the army behind ready?

Luckedhun was depressed, as were the thousands of cavalry of the Eight Banners, for after giving up the attack from the main road, their horses were struggling and had to slow down.

When the Ming army marched, they naturally chose to walk from the avenue, and this area is not an endless grassland, there are large wastelands on both sides of the road, but there are also many wheat fields. Although the north has suffered a lot of population losses and abandoned land, it is not uninhabited, let alone an endless grassland. War horses can gallop at high speed on the avenue, and the speed of abandoning the official road and entering the wilderness slows down suddenly. The wasteland is good to say, the speed of the war horse can be kept fast, but after running for a while, there are continuous wheat fields in front of them.

It was only early May, and the wheat in the north was ripe late, and the wheat had not yet been harvested, and the horses rushed in and could not run fast at all, and their speed dropped down suddenly. This made Luckdehun's attempt to find the weak point of the Ming army and attack suddenly frustrated.

When the cavalry lost its speed, it lost the possibility of attacking, and with this time of buffer, the Ming army had already arranged its defenses, and there were no conditions for an attack at all.

Sure enough, seeing that the Qing army was trapped in the wheat field, the speed slowed down, and the Ming army immediately adjusted its deployment and stabilized its position.

"Bang bang bang" artillery sounded, and shells flew into the Qing cavalry.

"Damn!" Lucketthun scolded angrily, and had to take the cavalry away from the Ming army array and disengage from it.

Yu Feng rushed back to the main formation with the cavalry, ashamed to apologize for failing to stop the Qing cavalry. Chen Yue naturally wouldn't blame him, after all, his troops were much smaller than those of the Qing army.

"Lord Wang, I'm going to hunt down Manchu!" Yu Feng asked, the corners of Wu Sangui's mouth twitched beside him, and he didn't speak.

Watching the Qing cavalry retreat along a wasteland to the north, Chen Yue shook his head: "Don't pay attention to them, the whole army continues to advance!" ”

The current task is to rush to Shanhaiguan as soon as possible and block the way out of the Qing army. As long as the Shanhaiguan Pass is blocked, the Manchu people who have not had time to leave the customs can be completely left.

In the next few days, Luck Dehun tried to attack and harass several times, but he could not succeed at all in front of the Ming army, which had already been prepared, and even the main array of the Ming army could not get close. Chen Yue ordered the cavalry of the sentry to be withdrawn, and now Yu Feng has 2,300 cavalry, which is not much less than the cavalry of Luckdehun.

With the Ming cavalry intercepting, Luck Dehun had no choice at all, because he was unwilling to fight the Ming cavalry again.

Two days later, the army reached Luanzhou, but was blocked by the Luan River. On the opposite side of the Luan River was the thousands of cavalry of Luck Dehun.

Looking at the Luanhe River, which was nearly a mile wide, and looking at the Manchu cavalry blocking the bridge, Chen Yue frowned slightly. Fortunately, this is a stone bridge, and the Qing army cannot burn it, otherwise the army will be really troublesome in the past.

But now it is difficult to think about the past, the bridge is one zhang wide, only three or four soldiers are allowed to go in parallel, as long as the Qing army blocks the bridge, it is difficult to pass.

However, no matter how difficult it is, it has to be passed, this is the main road to Shanhaiguan, and it must be beaten down and controlled in your hands.

Chen Yue immediately gave the order and began to prepare to storm the stone bridge.

The artillery was pushed over and lined up along the riverbank, and the barrels were aimed at the opposite bank and began to fire fiercely. Dozens of artillery pieces opened fire at the same time, forcing the Qing cavalry to stay away from the river bank, and at the same time as the artillery fired, more than 200 infantry rushed onto the bridge, with sword and shield soldiers in front, pikemen in the rear, and then dozens of firecrackers.

For Luckedhun, as long as the stone bridge is controlled, it can block the pace of the Ming army's attack and buy time for the people to retreat. So even if he paid a lot of casualties, he didn't hesitate to do it.

However, the artillery fire of the Ming army was too fierce, and his archers could not shoot at the other side of the river, and under the shelling of the Ming army, he had to order the cavalry to stay away. Only 500 men were left dismounted and turned into infantry, blocking the east bank of the bridge.

Seeing that the Ming army was killing along the bridge, Niu Lu Ezhen, who led the team, gave an order, and more than 100 Eight Banner soldiers also rushed onto the bridge and killed the Ming army.

The two armies met in the middle of the stone bridge, fighting with swords and guns.

In front of him were the shield bearers, desperately pushing with the shields in their hands, and the pikemen behind the shield men desperately stabbed their spears in the opposite direction. The Qing army's archers fired their arrows in the back, and the Ming army's gunners also fired back, and the sound of firearms rang out, and soldiers on both sides were shot and fell down every moment.

On this narrow bridge deck, soldiers on both sides engaged in brutal fighting, and from time to time corpses fell from the bridge deck into the river.

Looking at the battle on the bridge from afar, Wu Sangui gasped, just in the Qing army, he naturally knew the combat effectiveness of the Eight Banners. can fight with the Eight Banners and fight for a long time, the combat power of the army under His Royal Highness King Qi is really strong!

Wu Sangui originally thought that the Guannei army under his command was already one of the best soldiers in the world, but now after a few battles, he has a deeper understanding of the current combat strength of the Ming army, and knows that the Guanning army under his command is far inferior to Chen Yue's army. So I rejoiced in my choice.

"Get on the grenade!" Seeing that he could not break through the blockage of the Qing army, Shiqiao could not be taken for a long time, Xu Qingtian, who was in charge of commanding the operation, was anxious and shouted loudly.

"Lord Commander, the enemy and us are fighting together, and I am afraid that I will hurt my own people with grenades." Standing beside Xu Qingtian, Qianhu hesitated.

"Stupid, you won't throw the grenade farther away and throw it behind the Qing army!" Xu Qingtian said angrily.

"Yes!" His subordinates ran out and began to deploy.

More than a dozen grenade soldiers squeezed onto the stone bridge, squeezing behind the firecrackers who were firing their guns, only about a dozen paces away from the battle line of the fierce battle between us and the enemy in the bridge.

The small flag officer who led the team took the lead in lighting the long fuse of the grenade, and when it was only half a foot long, he hurriedly threw it over, and the grenade flew out of a beautiful arc in the air, which was falling in the rear of the Qing army, and then exploded with a "boom", and then saw several Qing soldiers being blown up and falling into the river, and a small blank space was formed on the stone bridge.

Each grenade was filled with a pound of black powder, and the shell was made of thin iron, and when it exploded, it split into twenty or thirty pieces, enough to empty the space around it.

"If you see it, just throw it like this, throw it to the rear of the Qing army, throw it as far as possible, and don't hurt our people!" The experienced little flag officer said to his subordinates.

"Yes!" His grenadiers agreed, and threw the grenade in the opposite direction.

"Boom Boom" explosions one after another, each explosion would take the lives of seven or eight Eight Banner soldiers, and the narrow space on the stone bridge made it impossible for them to hide at all. Even if he was not killed on the spot, he had already lost the ability to fight again.

After more than ten grenades exploded, the grenadiers stopped throwing grenades, and then looked across the bridge, except for dozens of Eight Banners soldiers who were close to the Ming army, the bridge deck behind was almost empty, and the bridge deck was full of corpses of the Qing army, and blood flowed down the bridge deck into the Luan River.

Listening to the continuous explosions, watching the accomplices in the rear die tragically in the explosions one by one, the Eight Banners soldiers in front of them were also terrified.

"Kill all the people!" Seeing this opportunity, the officers leading the team on the bridge shouted, and the soldiers of the Ming army suddenly burst into powerful combat power. The shield-bearer pushed his shield in the opposite direction, and the pikeman's spear stabbed forward quickly, and with each stab, an eight-banner soldier fell under the spear.

The Ming army on the opposite side was like a demon, with terrible weapons in their hands, and the Eight Banners soldiers were already cold. After the explosion, the Eight Banners on the bridge deck suffered heavy casualties, and they were powerless to stop the attack of the Ming army. As a result, some of the Eight Banners fled crying. One person fled, everyone followed suit, and more Eight Banners soldiers gave up fighting with the Ming army, threw away their weapons and turned around and fled, leaving their backs to the Ming army.

I have to say that after a series of defeats, the combat strength of the Eight Banners has declined rapidly, and now many of the soldiers in the army are recruits who have just become enlisted in the army and put on armor.

In the distance, in order to avoid the Ming artillery, Le Kedehun had to retreat with most of the cavalry, two miles away from the stone bridge, so far has exceeded the range of the Ming army's tiger squat artillery, as for the other artillery of the Ming army, although it can be fired, but a single shell is not too much of a threat to the Qing cavalry.

Although the main force is far away from the stone bridge, Luck Dehun is not worried, because there are still three hundred dismounted Eight Banners near the stone bridge, and the problem of the three hundred and eight banners blocking a narrow stone bridge is not too big, and it is not so easy for the Ming army to take the stone bridge!

However, not long after the two sides fought, a series of explosions were heard on the stone bridge, and Luck Dehun was shocked to see that the Eight Banners on the stone bridge were blown to pieces, and then there was an inevitable rout. More than 100 soldiers of the Eight Banners who were still alive fled from the stone bridge crying and fled towards this side, and then were killed one by one by the Ming army from behind with firearms.

All the Eight Banners soldiers watched in amazement, watching their fleeing companions being killed from behind by the Ming army. It has always been them who killed the fleeing Ming army like this, but now the feng shui has turned around, and it is their turn to be hunted down, which makes all the Eight Banners soldiers extremely uncomfortable in their hearts.

"Those who flee from the battle will be killed!" Cold words burst out of Luckdhun's mouth, and with his words, hundreds of archers drew their strong bows, and arrows rained down towards the fleeing Eight Banners.

In the screams, the remaining dozens of Eight Banner soldiers died under the arrows of their own people, and everyone in the Eight Banners cavalry who watched the formation was shocked.

"Lord Belle, fight with them!" Degalen's eyes were red, and he exclaimed.

"Fight a fart, the Ming army's firearms are so powerful, do you want to die?" Lectorhun's face was gloomy as water, and he turned his horse eastward.

The cavalry of the Eight Banners followed him one after another and withdrew from the battlefield. Countless Eight Banner soldiers looked back on their horses, looking at the stone bridge after the bloody battle, and the narrow stone bridge devoured a full three hundred Eight Banner warriors.

"The Eight Banners have fled!" Seeing the Qing army leaving, the Ming army that rushed across the stone bridge cheered.

The stone bridge was firmly in control, and after cleaning up the corpses on the stone bridge, the Ming army began to cross the bridge.

"It's not far from Shanhaiguan." Chen Yue said softly.

"Back to the prince, there are still more than two hundred miles." Zhang Huangyan replied.

More than two hundred miles, it will take four or five days, Chen Yue sighed softly.

After several days of marching and fighting, the soldiers were already very tired, but they had to continue to advance, and they had to rush to the vicinity of Shanhaiguan before they could rest.

For the next few days, the army continued to advance, but surprisingly, Lekdehun's cavalry did not come to harass him again, making the march much easier.

However, he was afraid that the Qing army would have any traps, so Chen Yue had to order to be on guard, and the speed of the march was not faster.

At Shanhaiguan, Luck Dehun knelt on the ground and pleaded guilty to Prince Li. After half a month of marching and fighting, Luckett looked extremely haggard. After more than ten days of fighting with the Ming army several times, his subordinate cavalry lost nearly 1,000 yuan, but he failed to stop the Ming army from continuing to advance, which made Luckdhun's heart full of frustration.

"Get up, the Ming army is ten times stronger than you, it's not a crime of war!" Dai Shan let out a long sigh and ordered Luck to muddy.

For the current Qing Dynasty, countless generals who can fight well have died on the battlefield, and Luckedhun and Bolo and others are already the few remaining strong generals, so how can they be easily punished.

Hundreds of thousands of people, only two-thirds have passed through the Shanhaiguan, and one-third of the people are walking on the mountain roads in the pass, the Ming army has chased and killed, the fate of these people has been doomed, Dai Shan's heart is full of desolation.
