On the right flank of the first line of defense of the Later Jin, those Mongolian vassal tribal warriors who had no will to fight in the first place did not seem to expect the Ming army to collide with each other so decisively. Except for a few Mongol cavalrymen who could not dodge and were knocked off their horses by the Ming army, everyone else turned their horses' heads one after another.

After Zhang Xianzhong stabbed a man with a spear, he abandoned his spear and drew his sword to cut down a Mongol who did not flee with the crowd, but wanted to block him forward. After cutting down the Mongol, he found that his eyes were suddenly empty, and Houjin's first line of defense had been broken through by him.

Breaking through the first line of defense of Houjin so easily did not make Zhang Xianzhong feel satisfied, he looked at the Mongolian cavalry who were turning around and fleeing towards the second line of defense more than 30 steps away, while clamping the horse with his legs and continuing to move forward, while shouting in his mouth: "Follow up, follow behind those fleeing cavalry, and rush all the way." ”

At this time, Zhang Xianzhong had more than a dozen arrows hanging on his body, and his injuries looked not light, but he didn't feel it at all, just rushed forward vigorously. Zhang Xianzhong felt that his current state could not be better, and he was so excited that he could follow these fleeing Mongols and pursue them to the end of the world.

Zhang Xianzhong's bravery completely inspired those colleagues behind him who were born in the imperial guards and brocade guards, these soldiers who had not been on the battlefield a few times, completely abandoned the fear of war at this moment, followed closely behind Zhang Xianzhong, and rushed towards the second line of defense of Houjin.

In the middle of the second line of defense, Tushetu Khan Oba and his younger brother Budaqi were protected by a group of Korqin cavalry, watching the situation on the battlefield.

Seeing the collapse of the first line of defense so quickly, Oba finally turned his horse's head no longer hesitated, and said to his younger brother and the generals around him: "Pass the order, we will retreat... No, it is to protect the Jurchen allies and return to the Zunhua camp. ”

Oba looked at the yellow-flaged men and horses who were evacuating in the distance, and quickly changed his words. Although Budazi knew that the Ming army had sent an envoy to talk to his brother once.

Due to the Jurchens' protection of Oba, the Mongol who served as the envoy of the Ming army still disguised himself as his personal guard and infiltrated Oba's tent.

Due to the deterioration of the situation, Chahara had to ask Oba to come out and take command of the Korqin tribe, but as soon as he came out, he ordered the Korqin soldiers to abandon the defense line and flee, which made Budazi hesitate.

Although he also agreed with the idea of withdrawing troops, he didn't even fight once, so he turned around and ran away, and Budazi felt that it was too shameless. And after escaping back to the Zunhua camp, it was difficult to explain to those Jurchen relatives and nobles.

Budazi couldn't help but want to open his mouth to persuade his brother, "Big brother, we just ran away, didn't we..."

"Boom" A not very crisp sound crossed the sky, and then a burst of people shouting and tearing horses interrupted Budazi's words.

Budazi subconsciously looked at the first line of defense, and found that the Mongols on the entire line of defense were turning their horses' heads, and it was obvious that the first line of defense in front of them no longer existed.

While he was still pondering what had completely routed the Mongols, another shell landed on the defenders of the first line of defense, which had become confused.

Realizing that the Ming army had also brought cannons, Budaqi suddenly raised his whip unceremoniously, whipped his subordinates who were still in a daze on the side, and reprimanded sternly: "Didn't you hear my eldest brother's order?" Why don't you hurry down and give orders, or do you really want to keep the prisoners of the Ming army? ”

Chahara unconsciously looked at the scene of the Mongols fleeing in front of him, and he felt that all this was unreal. Having an advantage in numbers, and having pre-arranged positions and troops to guard the order, Chahara felt that he had done a very good job.

But who would have thought that the defensive measures that were supposed to be able to hold on for at least a few hours were taken by the Ming army after organizing an attack, which is simply ridiculous.

And with the escape of the soldiers with the yellow flag, the soldiers with the blue flag also patted their butts and ran away. However, the blue-banner soldiers were more polite than the bastards with the yellow flags, and before leaving, they sent a message to him that in addition to the fact that they should run away with the yellow-flag, they also suggested that Chahara should also flee with the Ulut banner, so as not to be reproached by the Great Khan for the annihilation of the whole army.

The flight of the two battalions of Jurchen soldiers was tantamount to the prelude to the collapse of the Houjin army on the west bank of the Luan River. The leader of the Horqin tribe also made an excuse for himself, saying that he was going to defend the two groups of Jurchen soldiers and return to the Zunhua camp safely, and could not let the Ming army attack the two Niulu on the road.

Chahara originally stepped forward angrily to stop the Horqin tribe from escaping, but as the Ming army fired two shots at the first line of defense of the Houjin, those Mongolian vassal tribes whose mental pressure had reached the limit began to completely disperse, and the Horqin cavalry who were stopped by him lost their awe of him as a Houjin general, and urged the mount to walk around him.

When the Mongol vassal tribesmen and horses dispersed, more than a dozen guards who followed Chahara also stopped intercepting the Korqin cavalry. They all stood stunned and looked at Chahara, as if waiting for him to give the order to retreat.

At this time, Chahara had completely lost his mind, and he did not want to move at all, because he did not know how to explain to the Great Khan when he returned. The rapid collapse of the Houjin army on the west bank not only made it impossible for the Houjin army on the east bank to evacuate, but even Wu Nag and those Jurchen soldiers who crossed the river could only resign themselves to fate.

After thinking about it, Chaharas felt that it was the best choice for him to die here. But Tushetu Khan Oba did not give Chahara this opportunity, knowing that he could not escape back alone.

With the loss of Wu Nag and Du Du, he can still explain a thing or two to those Jurchen relatives and nobles. If even Chahara, who was supervising the battle by his side, was lost to the Ming army, Oba felt that he would soon be held accountable for the defeat of the war.

Therefore, when Oba was evacuating, he did not forget to send a group of cavalry to flee with Chahara. Chahara struggled weakly for a few moments, and then let the Korqin cavalry mount him on his horse and fled, and his guards silently followed, and no one tried to stop the Korqin people's movements.

Chahara's flight deprived the Houjin army on the west bank of the Luan River of its last organization. Zhenglan Flag Niulu, who was still guarding the river crossing channel on the river beach, finally gave up his duties.

They ignored the fact that there were still more than a dozen Ben Niulu comrades on the river, and that thousands of people had passed through the channels laid on the river, which had cracked the ice in many places, so that the people crossing the river were now very separated. While this ensures safety, it also slows down the speed at which people can cross the river.

After the Jurchens guarding the west bank of the ice passage got on their horses and fled, the Ulut Mongols who assisted the Jurchens in guarding here naturally fled with them. The horses on the riverbank were left to take care of them, and they fled in all directions in the confusion.

The Jurchens, who were still crossing the river, looked at the scene on the west bank, and finally no longer had any scruples, and began to run wildly on the ice. After climbing to the west bank, these Jurchen soldiers seized their mounts directly from the Mongols, who had not yet fled, and then followed the direction of the fleeing army.

The action of these Jurchen soldiers to snatch the horses of the Mongol cavalry caused the last Mongol cavalry on the river beach who could not bear to leave because of their allegiance also gave up this passage, and they rode their horses immediately.

The scene on the stone bridge was even more terrifying, the Ulut Mongols, who were still sending reinforcements to the east bank, turned around and wanted to retreat to the west bank after seeing the scene of their own army fleeing on the west bank.

The Mongol cavalry close to the bridgehead on the west bank was able to get off the bridge smoothly. However, when the Mongol cavalry on the east bank of the stone bridge also noticed the movement on the west bank and wanted to retreat from the stone bridge to the west bank, the stone bridge, which was not wide, was immediately blocked by these cavalry who rushed onto the bridge deck.

The more the stone bridge was blocked, the more the Mongol cavalry on the east bank who wanted to flee squeezed upward, and as a result, many people and horses were either squeezed out of the bridge and fell into the rivers on both sides, or some people were squeezed off their horses and trampled to death.

Panic was still spreading among the Mongol cavalry on the east bank, and the movement on the stone bridge was heard even by the front-line soldiers of the two armies who were fighting hard. The morale of the Ming army was certainly a great boost, but for those Mongols, it was a real disaster.

Except for some Ulut Mongols around Wunag, most of the Mongol cavalry turned around and tried to flee the battlefield. Although the congested stone bridge blocked their escape route, they were soon rushed straight towards the frozen river.

If there is one person who takes the lead, someone will naturally follow. From one to ten, from ten to hundred, one or two hundred cavalry soon rushed to the river north of the stone bridge. With no branches to spread the weight, and the gallop of the cavalry, there was no doubt that there was a massive ice collapse.

Except for a dozen horsemen who escaped by holding on to their horses, hundreds of Mongol cavalry fell into the river. In this bitterly cold weather, people and horses who fall into the water, with the exception of a very lucky few, most of them fall into a coma due to the rapid loss of body temperature, and eventually drown in the river.

The Mongols on the embankment on the east bank, looking at their comrades who were struggling in the river, finally some laid down their arms and began to surrender to the Ming army.

Wu Huai immediately accepted the surrendered Mongols and ordered his subordinates to force the Mongols who refused to surrender at the bridgehead to the Luan River. Except for a small number of Mongols who rushed into the jungle to the northwest, the Mongols, who had lost their way out, began to surrender en masse.

After the Naiman tribe guarding the village of Balipu surrendered to the Ming army, those who were still resisting on the east bank of the Luan River were left with dozens of people around Wu Nag who were surrounded by the Ming army, as well as the Jurchens and Mongols south of the stone bridge.
