At the crossing of the Xiushui River, an ancient version and a weakened version of the Dunkirk retreat were staged.

There is a river in front of the road, there are Qing army chasing soldiers behind, the soldiers of the Chu army see that they have fallen into a desperate situation, all panic, some people throw down their weapons and armor, jump into the river and swim to the opposite side, a few ferries, from the bow to the stern full of people, there are many people in the river who are holding the boat, hoping to climb on the boat, the side of the boat is crooked and constantly touching the water, seeing that there is a danger of overturning, the companions on the boat have to be ruthless, and push them back into the river.

On the avenue six or seven miles away, the sound of war horses' hooves was like thunder, and the Qing army's pursuers were rapidly approaching, seeing that there were hundreds of Chu troops blocking the front, obviously to cover the retreat of friendly troops, the Qing army commander did not hesitate to order Kang Khal, led his eight hundred elite Eight Banner cavalry to attack, and sent two other infantry to attack from the fields on both sides.

This area, which belongs to the Yumai area of Mt. Makufu, has many low hills, and at the bottom of the mountain are fields and woods, dotted with ponds, and now it is the end of autumn and the beginning of winter, there are no crops in the fields, and the rice fields have also been drained of water, and you will step on the mud when you go directly into the fields, but you can walk through the middle ridge. The Qing infantry scattered and walked through the fields, turning their heads to look at the frontal Eight Banner cavalry on the avenue as they walked forward.

In the end, the Chu army had already prepared, dug a horse trap on the avenue, and cut some branches as antlers, and set up a defense line that was not too strong, the Qing cavalry rushed to the front, and found that after the trap horse pit, they did not rush forward, but jumped off the war horse, and a small number of Eight Banner soldiers began to clean up the antlers. The pit was filled with earth and gravel, and most of the Eight Banners stood in a phalanx. Zhang bowed and shot arrows at the Chu army on the opposite side to cover his companions.

The Chu army immediately returned fire. Firebolts and bows and arrows continued to be fired, and locusts flew like rain on both sides of the antlers array, and the smoke of gunpowder filled the air. These Eight Banner cavalry did not carry shields, and under the interference of the Chu army, the speed of clearing the barricades was not fast, because they could only be beaten too passively, and some of the Eight Banners even stood up and joined in the counter-shooting...... The hundreds of people selected by the Chu army all have armor, and their protection ability is no worse than that of the Qing army. The fire between the two sides looked fierce, but they could only hit the front row of soldiers, so the speed of casualties was not too fast.

The Qing army was in the rear, the main general of the Qing army raised his eyebrows, and he was not in a hurry, the Qing army chased all the way, and the troops were very scattered, and now it is only the vanguard that is catching up, and the Chu army does not have an advantage in terms of strength. The Chu army has not completely lost its command now, and it still has a certain ability to resist, and it is not too late to destroy them when the follow-up troops follow.

The Chu army was in the rear. Zhang Jiayu remained silent, the Qing army had not yet fully drilled into his pocket, and it was not yet time to launch. But he had already sent the order down to all the soldiers that it was an ambush to lure the enemy deeper. To stabilize the morale of the army and boost morale. Prepare for the following counteroffensive...... The Qing army was so long that even if they saw that the situation was wrong, they would not have time to retreat.

Sure enough, seeing that the formation of the Chu army gradually stabilized, a look of surprise flashed in the eyes of the chief general of the Qing army, the ships of the Chu army were not enough, and the speed of retreat was very slow...... There must be a special reason for this!

The Qing general is also a veteran of a hundred battles, his sense of smell is extremely keen, he raised his eyes to look at the battlefield terrain on the left and right, and suddenly found that this is an irregular pocket, several hills on the left and right are undulating, and a road in the middle is the only way out, and the fields on both sides of the road are gradually narrowing behind him, and a pond and forest are blocked in the fields at the foot of the mountain, like a narrow throat, if ...... If an ambush soldier suddenly kills and seals the choke point, it will form a situation of closing the door and beating the dog!

The Chu army on the opposite side suddenly regained its morale, it is a very dangerous sign, the myth of the last battle is the patent of the god of war Han Xin, there are too many special conditions, there are also all kinds of complicated preparations, nine of the ten imitations of him in later generations have ended up in the end of the whole army, the Chu army fled all the way to the Xiushui River, the soldiers lost their armor, the establishment of the army was completely messed up, and the morale was at its lowest. Unless...... Unless they know reinforcements are coming!

Ambush! Reinforcements! Where are the ambushes and reinforcements of the Chu army? Nanchang City is still a hundred miles away, it is impossible to fall an ambush from the sky, could it be that this qiē is a plan that has been set up a long time ago, Zhang Jiayu feinted in front of the defeat, but Lu Renqing secretly led the soldiers and horses to sneak here, set up a pocket array?

The Qing army will look up at the mountains on both sides, although it is the end of autumn and early winter, there are still many evergreen trees and bamboo forests on the mountains, dense and prosperous, at first glance there is nothing abnormal, but at this moment of careful observation, this area of the mountains is too quiet, the battlefield here is shocking, but there are neither startled birds nor the howl of wild beasts on the mountains, indicating that those birds and beasts have long been frightened away.

"Pass my orders and let Konkrough come back! The front team becomes the back team, the back team becomes the front team, withdraw! The commander of the Qing army issued a series of orders, sent dozens of scouts to scatter and rush to the mountains on both sides, to find out whether there were ambushes, and sent heralds to hurry to the rear, informing the troops who had not yet arrived to gather their men and horses, and advance cautiously here, ready to meet the enemy's ambushes at any time.

It is easy to say, but it is difficult to do, the pursuit speed of the various units of the Qing army is different, some units have also been sent to chase and suppress the rout, stretched into a long line on the road of more than ten miles, the establishment of the troops is also out of order, all the departments are rushing to the ferry at full speed, and now they are suddenly asked to assemble, who will command, and where the assembly point is, it is a problem. The order of the commander of the Qing army was too hasty, and after the Qing army received the order, they still rushed towards the ferry, but they knew that the situation in front of them had changed, and they were a little more cautious in their actions...... Huhulala, the Qing army continued to pour into the mountain pass, and the Qing general hurriedly sent people to inform them, stay where they were, guard the choke point, and don't go any further.

Kangkal's side was entangled by the Chu army, the Eight Banners wanted to get on their horses and retreat, but the musketeers and archers of the Chu army kept approaching, biting them with rows of lead bullets and arrows, trapping the horse pit and the antler formation did not have much effect on the infantry, the Chu soldiers were shooting while calmly walking through the antler array, because their firepower was too fierce, the Eight Banners did not even dare to stop firing back, let alone turn around and get on the horse, exposing the back and the war horse without horse armor to the muzzle of the Chu army.

In the fields on both sides, the Qing infantry moved more slowly, nearly a thousand people were scattered on the open ridges, the order to retreat had not been fully conveyed in place, seeing that some teams stopped, turned around and went back, the other teams were inexplicable, but there were Chu infantry killed in front of them, and the Qing army could only raise their swords to meet the battle, and the Chu infantry were entangled.

It can't go on like this! The Qing army commander originally didn't want to reveal his intention to retreat, but now he didn't care so much, and immediately ordered Mingjin to retreat.

On the battlefield of hand-to-hand combat, Mingjin's retreat is the last emergency move, and the soldiers will not hesitate to turn around and flee when they hear the sound of the gong. Under normal circumstances, when Mingjin is only to let the troops fighting in front of him withdraw, the rear formation must be very stable, and will not be dispersed by the rout and the enemy's pursuers, but there are not many soldiers and horses in the rear of the Qing army at this moment, and the Qing army commander knows that this move is a great risk, and his heart is uneasy.

Fortunately, the pursuing troops of the Chu army were not so fast.

Kangkhal's Eight Banners ignored it, mounted their horses and galloped wildly, the Chu infantry could not catch up no matter what, after the Qing infantry in the field fled on all fronts, although the Chu infantry chased after them from behind, but due to the terrain restrictions, it would not pose a threat to the rear of the Qing army for the time being...... The commander of the Qing army waved his hand and ordered his hundreds of Eight Banner soldiers to go up to meet him, ready to gather the troops together, and immediately retreated to the throat position of the back road, waiting for the scouts who went up the mountain to investigate, and if it was confirmed that there were no pursuers, it would not be too late to attack the Chu army.

At this time, there was a sudden cannon fire on the mountains on both sides, and then the sound of killing shook the sky, the banners were churning, and countless Chu soldiers poured out from behind the woods and mountains, and launched an attack in two directions.

Sure enough, there was an ambush! The main general of the Qing army was shocked and angry, and a little lucky, thanks to his early foresight, sent hundreds of Qing troops to guard the back chokepoint, as long as they can resist for a quarter of an hour, the Eight Banners cavalry can arrive, and the chance of retreating is still very great

Kang Khal just retreated to the rear, immediately got a new task, led his eight hundred cavalry to gallop to the back of the throat, at this moment the Chu army ambush all rushed out of the hiding place, all over the mountains, there were thousands of people, each of the eight banners knew that the enemy came to reinforcements, but they were ambushed, all frightened and shocked.

Let's fight! Desperately have to defend the back throat!

Let's fight! Desperate to rush to the rescue!

Kang Kler ignored the fact that the war horse was already sweating profusely, and his nose was constantly spewing white gas, desperately urging the horse to gallop forward, the shape in front of him was so critical, if he couldn't hold the back throat, it was not only a matter of being dumpled by the other party, but also caused a series of chain reactions, and the whole army was annihilated, and it was not uncommon to even lose De'an County.

Ahead, the Chu army and the Qing army are fighting fiercely, although the Chu army has more and more troops, but the Qing army insisted, and did not collapse for a while, the speed of the cavalry is much faster than the infantry, when the Kang Keller department rushed to the throat, it was the most critical moment for the Qing army defenders, Kang Kler immediately did not hesitate to join the battle group, with the eight hundred and eight banner soldiers rushed and killed, after a few back and forth, finally the attacking Chu army retreated.
