Zhang Cunren hurriedly chased after Tan Tai, but when he arrived at the Mulan Creek, he was still a little late, so he had to grit his teeth and ask the army to quickly cross the river from the pontoon bridge set up by the cavalry.

The topography of Fujian, high in the north and low in the south, the streams and rivers that originate from Wuyi Mountain all flow into the sea from north to south, and the streams are dense, just like a comb, combing down from Wuyi Mountain, leaving traces.

Although these streams were blocked, the cavalry was cavalry, and the speed was still much faster than that of the infantry army, and the 17,000 green battalion broke two old legs, and they were still left behind.

Zhang Cunren looked at the dust raised by the cavalry galloping in the distance, and asked Tian Xiong, Ma Degong and others to cross the river quickly, but the green battalion soldiers complained.

Seeing this, Zhang Cunren had to send chess and card officers to chase Tan Tai on horseback, so he asked him not to distance too far from the infantry army, and let the green battalion soldiers rest for a while, and then cross the river.

For Zhang Cunren's advice, Tan Tai did not take it to heart, because after crossing the Mulan River, there were sporadic Qing soldiers defeated one after another, coming from the direction of Quanzhou.

The words of these routs are not uniform, but in Tan Tai's view, this is the manifestation of the fierce battle in Quanzhou, on the battlefield, scattered for a few miles, it is impossible for the soldiers to know the situation of the entire battlefield, if the words are unified, he will have doubts.

Tan Tai only thought that the battle of Quanzhou had reached a critical moment, and if he didn't hurry up, Wang Yan's side should be nailed, then he would also raid a hammer.

Tan Tai did not doubt it, and asked Wang Qifeng to collect the defeated soldiers, and he urged the soldiers and horses to move quickly.

Wang Qifeng took a hundred people to Fuzhou, and collected another hundred in Mulan Creek, and now the sporadic defeated soldiers joined in groups of three or five, and when they arrived near Tuling, there were already more than 400 people.

Tuling is known as "seven mountains, one water and two fields", the territory is densely covered with hills and forests, the road is tortuous and difficult, Tan Tai led 7,000 cavalry into the land of hills and forests, the speed of the march slowed down at once, and the team stretched for two miles before and after.

The road is not easy to walk, some Qing cavalry, in order to save horsepower, simply dismounted and walked, Tan Tai climbed a small hill, only to see that this area stretches a piece of hills, and it is not a matter of a while to walk over.

Gushan Ezhen Ahsan, who was on the side, was a little worried: "General, this kind of terrain is extremely unfavorable to the cavalry." ”

Tan Tai also noticed this, and he turned around and asked Wang Qifeng in the distance, "How long will it take to get out of this hill forest?" ”

"Returning to the general, you can pass through it in an hour, and after passing Tuling, you will enter the boundary of Quanzhou."

"It's not quite the right place, let everyone pass quickly." Tan Tai clenched his sword and ordered: "Send another two hundred cavalry as outposts to survey the road ahead." ”

When the military order was delivered, there was a roar of hooves, but it was two hundred cavalry who left the brigade and went to reconnoitre.

In the Tuling area, although there are no steep mountains, the terrain is very complicated, and the road that the army is about to pass through zigzags between the hills and forests, with small hills on both sides, and the mountains are shrouded in grass and trees, and each hill can hide thousands of soldiers.

Between the two hills, two hundred Qing cavalry held the reins, carefully looked at the terrain, one hundred cavalry each opened their bows and arrows, and shot an arrow blindly on both sides, led by Niu Lu, with a pair of alert eyes, scanned the two mountains, everything was normal, not even a bird call.

"Keep going~" Two hundred Qing rode a war horse and went forward again.

The cavalry did not warn, which proved that the road was safe, and the rear brigade of soldiers either moved their horses on foot, or rode on war horses, and hurried to pass the road, and the hoofs on the road were loud, but not a single bird was startled.

"Boom~"

At this moment, a cannon rang out, but it suddenly sounded, and the Qing soldiers in the hurry were suddenly startled, and their hearts tightened, and they looked around vigilantly, where was the cannon sound.

Tan Tai's body stiffened, and he immediately reacted, "Quick!" The back team changes to the front team, quit! Exit and go! ”

At this moment, Wang Qifeng also suddenly became confused, he suddenly drew his knife, hacked to death a Qing soldier next to him, and raised his knife and shouted: "Tan Tai is dead, the Qing army is defeated." ”

The four hundred defeated soldiers who were wrapped up in the Qing soldiers also shouted together, "Tan Tai is dead, and the Qing soldiers are defeated." ”

The Qing army stretched for several miles on the road, except for the hundreds of people around Tan Tai who could see him, the Qing soldiers in the distance, how could they know whether he was dead or not, but they heard the shouts and suddenly became chaotic.

At this time, the sound of "booming" cannons, the sound of "boom ~ boom ~ boom ~", and the whistling sound of sharp arrows breaking through the air, came from the mountains and forests on both sides, and on the top of the heads of the Qing soldiers, the projectiles rained down, and the large net formed by the arrows was falling rapidly.

The already chaotic Qing soldiers immediately fled in a panic, lead bullets and iron sand, hit them in the cheeks, arrows pierced through their armor, inserted into his body, and a terrible wail suddenly rose into the sky.

Seeing this, Tan Tai brandished his war knife on horseback and roared, "Don't mess up, don't panic the army!" ”

But their voices were soon muffled by the exclamations and wails of the soldiers, and the roar of artillery and birds.

On the battlefield, once the men and horses are chaotic, the commander wants to regain control of the army by roaring, which is basically a fantasy, and no matter how loud his voice is, he can't roar for miles away.

At this time, Tan Tai looked at Wang Qifeng in the distance, and the hatred in his heart was beyond measure, "Traitor~Ben Shuai will definitely kill your whole family~"

At this time, in the mountains and forests on both sides, countless figures of the Ming army appeared, they shot arrows in an orderly manner, and the flowering shells from the artillery exploded on the road, flying the Qing soldiers and making the war horses scream, it was like a massacre.

Seeing this, Tan Tai knew that nothing could be done, in this situation, there was no point in resisting, and the only hope was to withdraw from this hill forest and quickly join Zhang Cunren.

Tan Tai did not hesitate, and hurriedly led the guards to escape with Gushan Ezhen Ashan, shouting for the army to retreat.

But at this time, after several rounds of arrow rain and bird guns, the Qing soldiers on the road have completely lost their formation, and they fled in chaos, the sound of war drums on the mountain sounded, and the shouts of killing all over the mountains sounded, and the sound was huge, one after another, straight to Xiaohan.

Liu Shun hit his head, Li Guo broke his waist, Zheng Chenggong attacked its tail, the Ming army of each department was like a tiger into the flock, Cao Ge held a spear, shouted and killed into the Qing army, the Qing army on the mountain road, was soon divided into many pieces, the head and tail could not take care of each other, the Ming army fought more and less, and kept harvesting heads.

On the other side, 17,000 green battalion soldiers, after resting for a while, were urged by Zhang Cunren to cross the river, and the soldiers reluctantly stepped on the pontoon bridge, and then regrouped on the west bank.

It took half an hour for the green battalion soldiers to pass through most of it, and at this moment, dozens of miles to the west, there was a faint cannon sound, Zhang Cunren secretly screamed that it was not good, his face changed slightly, and the green battalion soldiers by the noisy Mulan Creek also quieted down.

Before Zhang Cunren could react, the green battalion soldiers who were crossing the river suddenly exclaimed, only to see more than a dozen big boats upstream, but they were sailing downstream.

This was after Wang Yan decided to lure the enemy into a decisive battle, he set out from Quanzhou and entered the hidden Zheng fleet in the upper reaches of Mulan Creek from the sea.

More than a dozen warships, all wheeled ships, have the ability to go against the water, led by the general Gan Hui, he stood at the bow of the ship, with a wave of his arm, he ordered: "Fire, shoot rockets~"

The soldiers on the pontoon bridge were caught off guard and were shot one after another, and suddenly there was a scream, and the soldiers fell into the water one after another, and the soldiers who were lucky not to be shot also stumbled and fled to the shore.

The cannonballs landed on both banks, causing a wave of confusion among the Green Battalion soldiers, and a heavy cannon in the bow of the ship bombarded the pontoon bridge, smashing the raft and washing the wood away directly by the current.
