Chapter 961: Ashes

Seeing the Wei army pressing up on the southern and eastern fronts, Dolgon immediately ordered the Qing army in the main formation to step up to eliminate the Wei cavalry entering the battle, so that the Qing soldiers who were penetrated in the east quickly formed a formation to block Huang Bingzhong from rushing to the main formation.

At the same time, the cavalry on the southern front withdrew, and the dependents fought fiercely with the main force of the Wei army, blocking Gao Yihuan's infantry from pressing up.

At this time, Dolgon's intention was very obvious, he first used his dependents to take the initiative to attack the south, create space, and block the main force of the Wei army far from the south, and then set up a set to lead the Wei cavalry to attack the main formation, intending to take advantage of Gao Yihuan's dependents to be pinned down in the south, concentrate superior forces, and severely damage the Wei cavalry.

At this time, the main formation of the Qing army was filled with gunsmoke, and the sound of guns was unconscious, and the Wei cavalry who found that they had fallen into the trap dismounted and fought on foot, but they were surrounded by 40,000 Qing troops, and the situation was very critical.

Seeing that the Wei cavalry in the formation was shot down by the Qing army's firearms and dismounted, Dolgon's face showed a flush, but he wanted to annihilate the Wei army in the battle, but there was still a problem, that is, the 17,000 cavalry led by Huang Bingzhong.

At this time, the Wei cavalry saw that Xu Heihu was surrounded, Huang Bingzhong galloped on his horse, shooting out like lightning, and the 17,000 horse army behind him, followed closely behind him, and directly crashed into the horizontal formation of the Qing army that had just regrouped.

These nearly 10,000 Qing troops were hit by Xu Heihu once, and now they were hit by Huang Bingzhong, and it was like being hit by a hammer, smashing out a depression, and they were killed by the Wei cavalry in a moment.

"Ma Jun attack!" Dorgon gritted his teeth and shouted.

The Wei cavalry broke through the blocking Qing army and pounced directly on the main formation of the Qing army, wanting to tear open a gap and release Xu Heihu.

The Qing army was divided into two groups, one with nearly 10,000 people, guarding the main formation, and the other tore through the Wei army's defense line to the south, and then shook a shot, forcing the Wei army to form a formation on the spot, and then detoured to the east.

At this time, Dolgon's army ordered, the horn sounded, and the two horse armies galloped out, and Geng Zhongming shouted loudly: "Brothers, rush! ”

After speaking, he raised his spear and urged his horses out of battle, and the 10,000 horsemen behind him followed suit.

Lou Qin, who made a detour to the east, also raised full speed after bypassing the fighting infantry troops.

The two Qing cavalry, like two long snakes, stared at the Wei cavalry that broke through the block, and the war horses galloped up to meet them.

They had only one goal, to entangle Huang Bingzhong and create an opportunity for the Qing army's main formation to annihilate Xu Heihu.

After the Wei army and the horse army broke through the block, they rushed straight to the main formation, and Bolo, who was beside Dolgon, couldn't help but clench his fists, and his mouth was so anxious that he silently thought, "Hurry up, you must block the Wei army." ”

If the Qing army could not stop it, let the Wei army and the horse army break a gap in the main formation, so that Xu Heihu could escape, and the Qing army would fall into passivity.

As long as the Qing army and horse army blocked Huang Bingzhong, it would not take half an hour for the Qing army to kill all the cavalry of the Wei army, and the main formation of 40,000 Qing troops would be able to free up their hands and form a local advantage.

Dolgon also stared at the two Qing cavalry, cheering for the Eight Banners Iron Cavalry, hoping that they could earn a breath.

The cavalry of the two Qing armies galloped into a torrent, the cavalry pulled the bowstring apart, countless horse heads rushed forward, the cavalry had raised the speed, and the hooves trampled the earth, shaking the land of Qilu, and the momentum was quite amazing.

The sound of rolling iron hooves overwhelmed all the sounds on the battlefield, and the Eight Banners Iron Cavalry still had residual courage, and the momentum was amazing, and the cavalry galloped to present a magnificent picture of war.

"Kill!" Huang Bingzhong broke through the barrier, saw the oncoming Qing cavalry, and suddenly roared.

The Wei army's musket light cavalry immediately increased its speed, overtook the shock cavalry, and advanced in an inverted zigzag with the shock cavalry on both flanks.

The cavalry of the Qing army charged in a formation and rushed straight towards the Wei army.

For a time, ten thousand hooves trampled the earth, splashing the fluffy soil, and the strongest striking force of the Wei and Qing armies launched a hedge.

The cavalry of both sides slammed into each other with the courage to die, and the cavalry galloped on horseback, and the wind was blowing in their ears, initiating an impact that shook the ground and the mountains.

"Bang bang bang" A dense sound of fire rang out, the musketeers in front of the left and right of the Wei army fired first, and the dense projectiles were fired, and the galloping Qing army immediately fell like a bean, and the war horses rolled and neighed.

The fire guns on the two wings of the Wei army flickered like a bright galaxy, and the rising gunpowder smoke was a nebula in the galaxy.

The musketeers on both wings shot a round, and the Qing army fell off their horses one after another, while the Wei army's musketeers immediately pulled their horses and withdrew to the two wings in order to have time to watch the results.

Almost as soon as the Wei army pulled out their horses, behind the Qing army's sharp arrows, a black locust rose up, and the sky was dark.

These arrows leaped over the heads of the heavy cavalry and were thrown at the oncoming Wei cavalry, which was advancing like a wall, causing the Wei cavalry to fall from their horses one after another.

Before the cavalry of the Qing army had time to rejoice, the next moment, the two cavalry collided together.

The shock cavalry of the two armies, all wearing armor and cotton armor, put the horses and spears erected flat, and pointed their sharp spears at each other.

"Kill!" Huang Bingzhong and Geng Zhongming couldn't help but roar at the same time.

The horse lance stabbed, the spear poked violently, the two steel torrents collided fiercely, the cavalry was directly stabbed off the horse by the horse lance, and the sound of people howling and neighing horses was intertwined, almost maddening.

The horse lance of the Wei knight stabbed into the chest of the Qing cavalry, stabbed the Qing army off the war horse, and knocked the Qing army's horses away.

The spear of the Qing cavalry pierced into the abdomen of the Wei cavalry, and the huge impact caused the Wei cavalry to leave the saddle, fly upside down, and slam on the ground.

In an instant, the horses neighed, the cavalry screamed, and the corpses of fallen horses were everywhere on the battlefield, and the scene was tragic.

The cavalry of the Qing army was not weak, and it did not suffer in the initial impact, but when the first few columns of cavalry of the Wei army were consumed, the front of the Qing army was also lost, and at this time, the difference came out.

The Qing cavalry folded their heads after the impact, and they found that every time they broke a Wei cavalry, there was still a cavalry advancing like a wall behind them.

Between the cavalry of the Wei army, there was almost no gap, and the cavalry flattened the horse lance and impacted, as if it were a moving spear forest.

This made the hedging Qing army in a trance for a while, and it was a little unclear whether he was hedging with the Wei army and the horse army, or he was going to hit the spear formation of the Wei army's infantry army.

And when the Qing army was in a trance, the spear forest, which was as fast as a forest, had already stabbed up, and the Qing cavalry could not avoid it, and they were immediately stabbed to death and knocked away!

Geng Zhongming and Lou Qin, couldn't help but stand up their hairs, and continued to rush down, either hitting the horse lance, or crashing into the Wei army's war horse, in short, it was a death.

Even if there is the courage of ten thousand people, it is difficult to guarantee that the Wei cavalry will be picked off the horse in a row, and as long as you miss once, you will be stabbed to death by the horse lance. Moreover, the war horses of the Wei army went hand in hand, even if the knights above were picked off, the war horses would still collide together.

In the main formation of the Qing army, Dolgon saw the Eight Banners Iron Cavalry, which was still on a par with the Wei army's horse army just now, and suddenly fled to both sides, and was knocked to pieces by the Wei army, and immediately his jaw almost fell off.

The wall-like charge of the Wei cavalry is like a moving spear forest, like a defense line that actively advances forward, and everywhere it passes, there are a corpse of fallen corpses and mournful war horses, which is shocking.

Dolgon shuddered, and the soldiers of the main formation of the Qing army were in a commotion.

Seeing that the cavalry of the Wei army smashed through the Eight Banners Iron Cavalry and pounced directly on the main formation, Dolgon's face changed greatly and he hurriedly roared, "Spear formation, defense!" ”

The Qing soldiers hurriedly set up their defenses, as long as they blocked the impact of the Wei cavalry and bought time for the Eight Banners Iron Cavalry to regroup, they still had a chance, but at this moment, a cry suddenly came from the south that made him tremble.

Dolgon was frightened, and suddenly turned his head to look, his face flushed even more, and a mouthful of blood spurted out, startling the people around him to quickly support him.

On the southern front, after the Qing cavalry waved a shot and hurriedly withdrew, Gao Yihuan pressed 40,000 Wei soldiers and fought with more than 70,000 Qing troops and their dependents.

In Dolgon's view, Manchuria, regardless of women, children, old and young, were all warriors, and they had no way to retreat but to fight to the death, and their will must be firm.

He didn't expect them to be able to defeat the Wei army, but they were nearly twice as large as the Wei army, and let the Wei army kill, it should also take a while.

But after all, they are human beings, and if they are human beings, they will be afraid of death, they will run away, and it is impossible for them to really stand and let people kill.

On the southern front, the Qing army, which had the advantage in numbers, was defeated like a mountain under the volley of Wei firearms, and was driven by the Wei army to rush towards the main formation of the Qing army like a low tide.

"It's over!" Bolo's face was like ashes.

If only one side is broken through, they can still hold on, but now that the Wei army on both sides is pressed at the same time, it will be completely over.

In the past, the Qing army designed to encircle and annihilate the cavalry of the Wei army, but now it has become the center of the Wei army.

At this time, Dolroll calmed down, and suddenly turned his head and ordered, "Bolo, according to the king's instructions, go!" ”

"Regent, what about you?" Bolo was shocked.

Dolgon laughed miserably: "As soon as this king moves, the army will be defeated, and Haoge ~ you go!" ”

Seeing that Bolo did not move, Dolgon immediately shouted angrily, "Go! ”

Bolo wept bitterly, knelt on the ground and kowtowed, and then led the people to slip away in a hurry.

At this time, the soldiers of the main formation of the Qing army saw the cavalry of the Wei army in the east rushing towards them, and the infantry army of the Wei army in the south drove the defeated army, and they were about to crash into the main formation, panic, unease, and even despair, and various expressions appeared on the faces of the Qing soldiers.

"Don't mess up, hold steady!" Dolgon shouted urgently, and continued to command the Qing army to fight.

Xu Heihu, who was fighting in the formation, was trapped, and as soon as he sensed the pressure being relaxed, he heard the horse's hooves rolling in the east, the sound of killing in the south, and the familiar Henan dialect flying wildly, and he was so excited that he almost suffocated.

He stabilized his mind, looked left and right, and saw the banner of the Qing army, not to break out, but to rush straight to Daxu, shouting angrily, "Sons, kill with me!" ”

The cavalry of the Wei army, which broke through the blockage, first crashed into the Qing army's large array, and the cavalry smashed the Qing formation into a depression in an instant like a monstrous wave.

Gao Yihuan commanded the infantry army, driving the defeated army forward, he saw Huang Bingzhong ramming the Qing army's large array, and the cavalry was like plowing the ground, knocking the Qing soldiers into the air, and immediately asked people to take his treasure knife, and then roared loudly, "The whole army is assaulting!" Capture Dorgon alive! ”

Hundreds of horns on the battlefield, blowing in unison, the signal of attack, resounding throughout the battlefield, the Wei soldiers were inspired by this, launched a fierce attack on the Qing army, the defeated army crashed into the main formation of the Qing army, the Qing soldiers were immediately coerced and fled, and the rout of the main formation affected the Qing cavalry that had just regathered.

For a time, more than 100,000 soldiers and horses were in chaos and were slaughtered by the Wei army, and Dolgon watched countless soldiers at a loss, scattered and fled, and finally completely despaired~~~
