Such a cloud-shaking change, if ordinary generals would have been stunned, but Huang Taiji is an excellent general on an equal footing with Yuan Chonghuan after all, and in the face of such a situation, he immediately made the most appropriate decision - the whole army retreated.

However, retreat is also a science: when the morale of the defeated soldiers and horses is at its lowest, if the retreat is unorganized and unorganized, it will lead to the general disintegration of the team.

The so-called: those who are good at planning do not fight, those who are good at fighting are not defeated, and those who are good at defeating do not die.

And Huang Taiji, who led the Eight Banners of Manchuria, was at least a "good fighter" if not a "good strategist", and even more a "good loser".

In order to prevent chaos during the retreat, he ordered all the cavalry to dismount and drive all the horses out of Zuo'anmen first, and then the remaining soldiers slowly retreated to the rear. At the same time, no matter how effective it was, all the soldiers continued to shoot into the trenches, which would somewhat suppress the opponent's firepower.

In order to stabilize the morale of the army, Huang Taiji deliberately used the respect of the Han Dynasty to be behind the nave of the whole army under the escort of several cronies "Baturu".

And those "Baturu" did not live up to the name of "warriors", while protecting the safety of the Great Khan Emperor Taiji, they did not forget to take off the armor of their comrades who had died on the ground, and draped them on themselves indiscriminately to block the attack of the Ming army's firearms.

Ji Qingwen, who commanded the battle in the trench, had no intention of annihilating the elite of the Eight Banners of Manchuria, and he was already thankful that he was able to fight the current situation where the opponent retreated despite difficulties.

But now he found that the Jurchen Great Khan Emperor Taiji was suddenly exposed in front of him, which was a good opportunity to take a "decapitation operation".

So Ji Qingwen hurriedly ordered the musketeers under his command to immediately fire a volley in the direction of Huang Taiji.

Most of these musketeers under his command have seen Huang Taiji's appearance from afar, and know that he is the Jurchen Great Khan, as long as he is killed or captured, he can be exchanged for endless glory and wealth for several lifetimes.

Therefore, these musketeers, with a nervous heart, pulled the trigger of the musket imported from the West in their hands. The breech hammer of the musket collided, and the two flints burst out of sparks under the violent impact, igniting the gunpowder filled in the chamber, and the gas caused by the gunpowder deflagration quickly pushed out the bullets blocking the muzzle, and with the sound of "bang, bang, bang" gunshots, two hundred bullets flew straight towards Huang Taiji's body.

Although these bullets were infused with lead, they flew with the sound of copper coins, silver, and gold, piercing the air full of gunpowder smoke and hitting the group of "Baturu" who were guarding Huang Taiji—thanks to the heavy armor they all wore on their bodies, so they were not pierced by the bullets.

Based on Ji Qingwen's previous experience, the penetration power of ancient muskets was far inferior to that of later rifles, and it was indeed possible for opponents wearing heavy armor to block bullets. However, the power of the bullet is still there, and it can still exert the power of kinetic energy, knocking the enemy to the ground and even causing the fracture and damage of their bones.

Today, however, is an exception.

It turned out that these warriors who were guarding Huang Taiji were all good at sumo wrestling, and everyone ate fat and strong, all of them had big shoulders and round waists, and their ability to resist blows was naturally much stronger than ordinary people, so although the power of the bullet was great, it could not completely disarm the opponent's combat effectiveness, and they could not stop them from escorting Huang Taiji to retreat outside the city.

Chen Wenzhao wanted to avenge the annihilation of the entire army in the "Battle of Hunhe" that year, and knew that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to capture Huang Taiji alive, so he didn't have time to discuss with Ji Qingwen, so he jumped out of the trench, pulled out his portable sword, and fought with the "Baturu" warriors around Huang Taiji.

Ji Qingwen was shocked when he saw this, and feared that Chen Wenzhao would be outnumbered, so he hurriedly ordered all the soldiers under his command to put down their muskets, draw their swords, climb out of the trench, and engage in hand-to-hand combat with the Manchurian warriors.

These Manchurian warriors are really experienced in a hundred battles, although their number is only thirty or fifty, but in the face of the five hundred elite soldiers who have been trained in Qi Jiguang's art of war, there is no cowardice on their faces, they also draw their waist scimitars, gather around Huang Taiji, and retreat outside the Zuo'an Gate.

Ji Qingwen saw that Huang Taiji was about to withdraw from the city gate and make peace with the main force of the Eight Banners, and immediately ordered Huang Degong, who was guarding him, to say: "Degong, when will you stay if you don't exert your power at this time?" Grab the Huang Taiji in front, and the emperor will make you a first-class official! ”

Huang Degong is a sincere person, hearing that there is an official to do, he was immediately hung up, and with the special iron rod in his hand, he jumped out of the deep trench where one person came, and rushed towards the direction of Huang Taiji with great strides.

A warrior beside Huang Taiji saw Huang Degong's vigorous killing, and knew that he must be difficult to deal with, but he was afraid that he would be disrupted by this person, so he broke out of the formation regardless of life and death, and relied on a scimitar in his hand that was longer, wider and heavier than that of ordinary Manchurian warriors, and fought with Huang Degong one-on-one.

Huang Degong was born with divine power, and he learned from Chen Wenzhao the spear and marksmanship handed down by Yu Dayou, and his martial arts have been practiced to the point that it is difficult for more than a dozen people to besiege him.

However, the Manchurian warrior on the opposite side was not stage frightened, although the scimitar move in his hand was simple and unpretentious, it was a deadly move, and he used all his strength to slash at Huang Degong's body.

Huang Degong originally wanted to capture Huang Taiji alive and change him to a top official, but he didn't expect to be entangled by this Manchurian Tartar, and after a little distraction, he was cut out of his arm by a scimitar, so he had to put aside his mind about capturing Huang Taiji alive a little, and began to concentrate on fighting with the opponent in front of him.

Ji Qingwen didn't expect that among the opponents, there were still people who could fight with Huang Degong, he couldn't help but be a little surprised and a little surprised, and looked up, but he had already identified the identity of this person - this person was none other than Ao Bai, who was known as the first warrior in Manchuria!

A few days ago, when Ji Qingwen defeated Dai Shan, it was Ao Bai who came to the rescue, otherwise he would have captured Dai Shan, the Manchurian Great Baylor.

And today, Ao Bai is coming to rescue Huang Taiji again!

How could Ji Qingwen allow him to succeed again and again, and immediately ordered the soldiers of the Jingshi Shenji Battalion who were helping in the trench to climb out of the trench to intercept Huang Taiji.

But these soldiers of the Shenji Battalion were frightened by the scene of Ji Qingwen's department and the Manchurian Eight Banners fighting each other outside the trench, and they were so frightened that they didn't dare to fight with their opponents in close quarters.

Ji Qingwen really hated that the "Sword of the Son of Heaven" given to him by Emperor Chongzhen was not by his side, otherwise he would personally fight the sword and kill these fearful Shenji Battalion sergeants.

It was this momentary delay that the Jurchen Great Khan Emperor Taiji finally went out from Zuo'anmen under the escort of the loyal and warlike "Baturu" warriors around him, and came to the outside of the Jingshi City, where he was united with the three banners and the red flag sergeant.

Although the soldiers and horses of the Four Banners suffered defeat in Zuo'anmen, they did not suffer much casualties, and their strength still far exceeded the training of the 500 Township Warriors of Ji Qingwen's department.

Therefore, Chen Wenzhao, who was fighting in front of him, saw this, immediately regained his composure, and with a little unwillingness and disappointment, gritted his teeth and ordered the officers and men of the whole army to stop pursuing the opponent and line up in Zuo'anmen.

And Huang Degong is still fighting with Aobai, these two people have fought with a cup of tea, both sides are injured, but they are still fighting.

After killing for a while, Ao Bai peeked at Huang Taiji and saw that Huang Taiji had safely withdrawn from Zuo'anmen, and suddenly jumped backwards, raised his scimitar to protect his chest, and said in slightly stiff Chinese: "Stop, you barbarian is also a good kung fu." But my Great Khan has withdrawn, my mission is complete, and I have won this battle. ”

After saying that, Ao Bai looked up to the sky and laughed "hahaha".

Huang Degong didn't hear the content of what Ao Bai said at all, he only felt that his laughter was too ugly, and he thought that his dream of capturing Huang Taiji alive, being promoted to a rank official, and marrying Bai Fumei was destroyed by the Manchurian man in front of him.

Ao Bai didn't expect Huang Degong's attack to be so fierce, and he didn't have time to dodge left and right, but hurriedly raised his scimitar to block the iron rod in the opponent's hand.

Unexpectedly, on this iron rod, Huang Degong exerted twelve points of strength, immediately broke the scimitar in Aobai's hand, and hit Aobai on the shoulder with no less strength, beating the "No. 1 Manchurian Warrior" to the ground, and fainted out of breath.
