"No, still no!"

Tun Qi frowned, although the formation of the Chu army was smashed into a gap, it has not collapsed, and if it continues to develop like this, the sharp energy of the Qing army will soon be exhausted, and it will still be impossible to break the formation.

"Lord Pei, the last general is willing to lead an elite army to make a detour from the north side, outflank the back road of the southern thief, and under the attack from both sides, he will definitely be able to defeat him!" Ehena took the initiative to ask for his life and offered advice to Tunqi.

The Qing army had the advantage of troops, but it was trapped in the terrain and could not give full play to this advantage, and thousands of main troops were pulled on the mountain road more than ten miles long and had nothing to do.

"This ......" Tunqi hesitated.

If you want to outflank the enemy, you have to leave the mountain road, go over the mountains and mountains to drill the woods, drill the ravines, all the banners and gongs and drums are out of order, and the troops that are not engaged with the enemy will disperse by themselves.

"Master Pei, I can't care about this now!" Ehena earnestly persuaded: "Explain clearly to the sons and daughters before sending out the troops, and bring more horns and flags, as long as you figure out the general direction, you will not run out of chaos, our eight banner soldiers are all elite soldiers in a hundred battles, and they will naturally fight bravely when they encounter the enemy, even if it is a small group of soldiers and horses, they can also make miraculous achievements...... If you really run out of order, you can just break through to the northeast, with Tan Tai's soldiers and horses in front to respond, so that the whole army will not be annihilated......"

Although Ehena didn't say it directly, the subtext in his words was very obvious, what time is it now, if you want to break through without paying a price, how can it be so simple, if you don't make a decision and be caught up by the main force of the Chu army, the whole army will really be wiped out.

Tunqi was noncommittal. Xiang left and right asked, "Where is Bashan Anda now?" Did you keep up? Well...... Are the southern thieves chasing after them? ”

Bashan is outstanding in martial arts and is a famous fierce general in the Qing army. He once taught Shunzhi's riding and archery skills, and was awarded the title of Anda (Anda in Manchu is Anda in Mongolian. Just like Guo Jing and Torrey married Anda, but the meaning of Anda in Manchu is slightly different, and it is farther than the relationship between sworn brothers), after the main force of the Qing army left, Bashan and Gurmahun also began to retreat, in order to get rid of the chasing soldiers of the Chu army, they left the green battalion after the break, and the two took the middle and right roads respectively, and Bashan followed behind Tunqi.

A Chinese soldier replied: "Anda Zhangjing left 300 soldiers behind. The brigade had already passed Yangzi Mountain, and the southern thieves were stopped by Zhang Guozhu's soldiers and horses, and they were still thirty miles away......"

On the top of the mountain, the offensive of the Eight Banners really stopped.

When the Ji'an battalion was just formed, it always followed behind the main force of the Chu army such as the Gongyi battalion, although the successive battles were as sharp as arrows, but they lacked enough toughness, as hard as pig iron but easy to break, and lacked stamina to fight. It will only fight against the wind, not against the wind...... After several years of tempering of blood and fire, the Ji'an camp has gradually become mature and has become sharp and hidden. After resisting the three-plate axe of the Eight Banners, he slowly supported the formation again, and drove the Eight Banners down the top of the mountain again.

When this Eight Banners soldier went into battle. knows that the Ji'an camp is a difficult opponent, and it will not be entangled after being frustrated. Instead, they retreated and regrouped, changed their attack point and rushed forward again. Efforts were made to find the weak links of the Chu army...... Since you can't knock your opponent down with one punch, keep punching one punch after another and see how long you can hold out.

At this time, the sun has risen overhead, turning from due south to west, leaving a short figure at Tunqi's feet, the summer days are long, there are still three hours before dark, Tunqi hesitated, and said: "Since this is the case, just wait for Bashan, transfer our rear team, and outflank us from the left and right sides at the same time." Our army was divided into three routes, one was still attacking head-on, and the other was attacking two mountains with two surprise troops. ”

Play big if you want to! If Tunqi doesn't make a move, he must win, otherwise he will throw thousands of Eight Banner soldiers into the mountains, but in the end he still ends in failure, and the loss will be too great.

Since you want to play a big game, you must make full preparations, the Qing army has thousands of horses to form a long snake formation, and it will take an hour or two just to dispatch troops, plus other preparations, it will be fast to start moving before dark...... In this way, the night battle is fair to both sides, the Qing army can make some preparations in advance, but the Chu army can only deal with it passively, Tun Qi is very confident in the individual soldiers of the Eight Banners, if the night battle and chaotic battles are carried out at night, the Eight Banners will definitely be stronger than the Chu army. Besides, take a step back, if you have been blocked here by the Ji'an camp, it will become more and more dangerous, and taking a risk is the only way, in case the plan of outflanking fails, you will directly order the whole army to break through separately, and thousands of men and horses will run into the mountains together, with Tan Tai's response, you should be able to run out more than half of them under the cover of night.

In the two or three hours before this, it was still necessary to maintain pressure on the Chu army, Tun Qi gave an order, Ming Jin withdrew his troops, withdrew the Eight Banners soldiers on the hillside who were about to run out, and then replaced them with a new force to attack.

This was not a feint, but to consume the enemy's body and energy, as much as possible to pave the way for the final general attack, in order to reduce the casualties of the Eight Banners, Tunqi finally sent Zhang Dayou's Han army banner up, using their firearms and Chu army to shoot, not expecting to defeat the Ji'an camp, just to drag the other side, not to let them have any respite.

In the establishment of the Qing army, the identity of the Han military banner is more embarrassing, theoretically they are the same as the Manchu and Mongolian Eight Banners, even if they are slaves, they are also the servants of the Manchu Emperor, there is no need to be inferior in front of the Manchu and Mongolian Eight Banners, but in the actual situation, the Han Army Banner has been inferior, after the three Shun Wang Yishun Gong and Wu Sangui surrendered to the Manchu Qing Dynasty one after another, the status of the Han Army Banner has plummeted, not to mention the equality with the Manchu and Mongolian Eight Banners, that is, in front of Wu Sangui and Kong Youde's troops, they also have to be a head shorter.

In the final analysis, the strength is still inferior to others, and the Han military banner can earn back face for himself, that is, the artillery that cares for the family, after Zhang Dayou's cannons are blown up, the Wuzhen Chao Ha soldiers under him have become coated slaves with armor on their backs.

Traitors are sometimes more vicious, especially the traitors who are forced into a corner, seeing that if they don't work hard, they will be dead, Zhang Dayou fought hard and sent the most elite housekeeper troops. Hundreds of Wuzhen Chaoha soldiers rushed up the hill with a roar, forming a firing formation. Fired at the Chu army again and again.

Musketeers can fight continuously, as long as there is plenty of ammunition. Much more durable than the archers, before this group of Wuzhen Chaoha soldiers went to battle, Zhang Dayou promised a heavy reward, and sent the most severe military team to supervise the battle, under the dense accumulation of arrows and rain of arrows in the Chu army, they did not turn around and escape, and most of the soldiers could bravely stand up and shoot.

The infantry formation of the Chu army was disrupted and retreated to the top of the mountain, and the generals of the Qing army under the mountain shouted that it was a pity, if it was fighting on the plain. At this time, the Eight Banners used cavalry to charge, and they could easily defeat the Ji'an battalion, but now they could only watch from behind, and watch the Wuzhen Chaoha soldiers slowly advance up little by little.

Seeing that the Chu army had run away, Wuzhen Chao Ha Bing hesitated for a moment, beat the war drum and walked to the top of the mountain, took two steps and quickly stopped, looking cautious. It is very dangerous to charge directly with musketeers, if you really rush into hand-to-hand combat. A bird gun without a bayonet is a burning stick, worse than a thick and sturdy three-eyed gun, and only the life left is to be slaughtered.

Shoot!

The Qing generals who led the team immediately made a decision and ordered the troops to stop advancing. Standing in front of the top of the mountain, he fired at the archers and musketeers of the Chu army, and at the same time waved flags to the bottom of the mountain, asking reinforcements to come up and cooperate with the charge.

Tun Qi hesitated. Ordered Zhang Dayou to send reinforcements from his headquarters, although the Wuzhen Chaoha soldiers were mainly firearms troops. There are also some soldiers equipped with cold weapons, so let them fight with the Chu army. The main force of the Eight Banners had to prepare for the final decisive battle.

On the top of the mountain, Gu Zongfu was directing the battle, and suddenly heard his subordinates shouting: "The Tartar military flag has moved, it seems that the troops are going to be transferred from behind!" ”

Gu Zongfu hurriedly climbed to the top and looked at the end of the mountain road, the Qing army was originally blocked on the mountain road, but at this moment it was scattered into the woods on both sides, and the follow-up troops were bubbling and surging, the flags in the woods were flashing, there were many figures, and the gunshots on the battlefield were too loud to hear the movement there, and they couldn't see the reality clearly.

"Damn, what the hell is Tunqi going to do?" Gu Zongfu looked suspicious and worried.

"Uncle, are you still afraid of him? Tunqi has been blocked here and can't escape. A subordinate general said with a smile, although Gu Zongfu is only a deputy battalion officer, but with Wang Kefan, he has risen to the rank of county uncle.

"You know the! Tun Qi is a handsome man who has been a general of Pingxi, and this general is a third-rate general, far worse than him, how can he be cautious? Hmph, he has his thousand plans, I have my old idea, I'll play with him to the end today......" Gu Zongfu called the two generals and gave orders.

……

After a long day, the sun finally turned to the west, the sky was dyed orange-red, and twilight gradually covered the mountains.

The battle on the hillside continued, and the Qing army had already changed several waves of attacking troops, turning the Wuzhen Chaoha soldiers of the Han Army Banner back and forth twice, but the Eight Banner soldiers were all sitting in the woods to rest, recovering their bodies. At dusk, all the elite soldiers of Tunqi were transferred, and Bashan, who served as the rearguard, also followed ten miles away, and the whole army was making final preparations before the battle.

Under the order of Tunqi, the Qing soldiers lit bonfires in the mountain clearing, cut down trees, set up camp in a dingdong clang, and scattered a small army to serve as a guard, and the Si Yang began to cook, putting on a posture of protracted war...... The Ji'an battalion is condescending, and the various movements of the Qing army can't hide their sight, so they simply toss a little more cheerfully, but it will make Gu Zongfu unable to figure out the truth and reality, but the Eight Banners who are ready to attack are assembled in the woods, and the mobilization order is conveyed down one level at a time, until every ordinary soldier, whether he can break through, is this battle tonight!

The Qing army from the left and right detours each had 1,500 people, Tunqi stayed in the middle road, and Zhang Dayou's Wuzhen Chaoha soldiers broke through together, under the three-way attack, if the Ji'an camp could be defeated, the Qing army could escape through the Guò Pass, and if the attack was frustrated, everyone would scatter in two...... No, it's a shot and three scattered, each breaking through separately.

For this plan, the generals of the Qing army, including Bashan, have no objections, they have been blocked here by the Ji'an camp for most of the day, and the shape is becoming more and more critical, and now is the time to make a decision...... Breaking through separately means fleeing for their lives, under the blockade and pursuit of the Chu army, there will definitely be heavy casualties, and all the baggage, horses, and wounded soldiers will be left behind, in other words, rout and escape, but it is better than staying here and waiting for death. Of course, this plan to break through separately is only a last resort, and it will not be used unless it is in case, in order to avoid shaking the morale of the army, only the generals above Niu Lu Zhangjing know.

As twilight turned into night, the Qing army was full of war meals, and with a sound of cannons, the soldiers and horses of the three routes were suddenly launched.

The silver bottle burst into the water, and the armor soldiers stood out with swords and guns!

The war drums sounded, and the mountain beams lit one after another raging fires, lighting the road for the Qing army and guiding the direction of marching.

Can't enter the mountain at night, it's only relative, the Qing army did not go around in a big circle, but aimed at the two peaks occupied by the Ji'an battalion, even if the troops were herding sheep in the mountains, they could also find the target of the attack under the guidance of the firelight, the Qing army climbed over the mountain in groups, killed the Chu army's night and did not collect, and then converged into a sea of torches, rushing towards the direction of the back mountain.

Brilliant fireworks suddenly rose, gunshots and bowstrings immediately rang out, and the Chu army had already laid an ambush in the back mountain to block the swarming Qing army.

The Qing army also had a mental preparation, although it was in ambush, it was not panicked, gathered in groups, shouted and rushed into the Chu army array, stray arrows and lead bullets shuttled in the air, steel knives flashed out of the cold light, and the screams filled the entire battlefield, and the originally dark and dreary valley ignited the fire. When Tunqi sent troops, it was clear that it was difficult to achieve a surprise attack under the nose of the Chu army, and the Ji'an battalion would be more or less prepared, and in the end it was inevitable to break through the enemy, the Ji'an battalion was about 2,000 people, but Tunqi, Bashan and Zhang Dayou combined had seven or eight thousand people, occupying an absolute advantage in troops, as long as the troops could be deployed, the strong attack could also break the enemy.

The fierce battle lasted for half an hour, the Qing army gradually gained the upper hand, a piece of torches poured up the hillside, seeing that victory was in sight, Tunqi's heart was hot, and the fierce battle of the Eight Banners finally came into play, although it was a group of stragglers who lost their formation, they still killed the Chu army step by step, and at most a quarter of an hour, they could attack the top of the mountain......

At this time, the gong of the alarm suddenly sounded on the side of the mountain beam.

Tun Qi turned his head to look, and was stunned to see that in the gap of the firelight on the mountain beam, a black and oppressive figure appeared, like a moving wall surging over the mountain beam, forcing towards the flank of the Qing army, and a bright red battle flag in front of him was the banner of the Chu army's Zhenxiao camp!

"Camp Town! How did they get here? Could it be ...... The main force of the Chu army caught up? ”

The strength of Tun Quan's body was suddenly drained, and his mind was blank. (To be continued......)
