Bloody night battles, Tun Qi seized the road and fled.

If this continues, the troops will collapse without a fight, and they will have to stop and reorganize themselves and resume their basic organization and command. The sound of shouting and killing, gunfire, drums and trumpets, and miserable screams kept coming from behind, and there was chaos everywhere in front of and behind the mountain, like a pot of boiling water.

He was covered with two layers of armor, much heavier than the burden of ordinary soldiers, and his body fell so quickly that he could no longer move when he ran to the front of the mountain, bent over and pressed his hands to his knees, gasping for breath. At this time, there was a big uproar in the flank and rear, and Gu Zongfu chased after him with the main force of the Ji'an battalion, and easily broke through the thin defense line of the Qing army's guards, ignoring Ehene, who was fighting fiercely with the Zhenxiao battalion, but rushed straight towards this hillside.

This is driving me to death! Tun Qi shouted to the sky angrily, pulled out his saber with his backhand and brushed it a few times, cut off the silk silk on his body, threw the outer layer of heavy armor to the ground, and then strode up the hillside, waved his knife and slashed horizontally, cut down his own Chinese army flag, and shouted to the stunned Eight Banners: "Run!" Run! Let's break through separately! ”

Heaven will kill me, not a crime of war.

Tunqi is like the overlord of Chu on the edge of the Wujiang River at this moment, a hundred are dissatisfied in his heart, a thousand are not angry, although the Eight Banners are not good at mountain combat, but the individual soldiers are lying here, if they are fighting with the Chu army in a dignified manner, they may not be afraid of the Zhenxiao camp and the Ji'an camp.

He originally planned to rest on this hillside, as long as the Chinese army did not fall, the other Qing troops could find a target to gather. Gather enough remnants of the defeated army and then suddenly kill the horse pistol, and then retreat calmly after the Chu army is repulsed...... But the Chu army came too quickly. Tunqi chased after him before he was ready, and he stared at the flag. Tunqi is surrounded by stragglers who have lost their formation, how can this battle be fought? Knocking down the flag is tantamount to completely admitting defeat, but at least ...... There is also hope for each other's escape.

"Tunqi's shit, what a rabbit spirit!" As soon as Tunqi's flag fell, Gu Zongfu knew that he couldn't catch him for the time being.

It's hard to see the distant target at night, there are dotted torches everywhere, and who knows which torch is Tun Qi himself? These routs are like rabbits that have blown up their nests, although there is no threat. But it was difficult to catch them all at once, so Gu Zongfu immediately divided his troops into two routes, continued to chase forward with one part, and personally led the other to turn back to support the Zhenxiao camp.

Ehena was already struggling to support, and immediately collapsed after being attacked from both sides, and the remnants of the defeated army scattered and fled, and the Ji'an camp and the Zhenxiao camp were like hungry wolves rushing into the flock, killing the Qing army wherever it was at most, and killing several larger Qing troops one by one. Coming and going, invincible, holding the ass of the Qing army and rushing up a mountain beam left and right.

Looking ahead, there are dots of dancing fire in the field of vision. The Eight Banners fled for their lives with torches, and the night in the mountains was very dark, if there was no moon. It can really reach the distance of reaching out and not seeing the five fingers, so the armor of the Eight Banners can be removed. The knife can be thrown, but it must be lit with a torch. Otherwise, you will lose your way or break your hands and feet.

The army stopped to catch a breath, and Gu Zongfu suddenly formed a horn with his two hands, and shouted loudly in the direction of the Eight Banners fleeing: "The Jurchen is not satisfied with ten thousand, and the ten thousand are invincible!" ”

The officers and soldiers of the Ji'an battalion around were stunned for a moment, and then burst into laughter, and they all shouted.

"The Jurchen is less than 10,000, and 10,000 are invincible!"

"There are more than 20,000 Tartars in this ravine, and that's just too powerful!"

"In my opinion, it's 20,000 local chickens and dogs!"

"Invincible, Tartar braggarts!"

The soldiers laughed and their morale was high, regardless of the fatigue of continuous marching and fighting, they asked for orders to continue to pursue and kill the Qing army, and the officers and soldiers of the Zhenxiao battalion did not shout and coax together, but they were also very excited with bright eyes, and they were waiting for Chen Youlong's order.

Gu Zongfu waved his hand and said: "If it was put aside more than ten years ago, the Tartars were really not bragging, at that time the Tartars were the most arrogant, and a hundred and ten cavalrymen dared to provoke thousands of officers and soldiers, and they were really afraid of them." Hehe, feng shui takes turns, our Chu army was born, this sentence has to be changed now, the four-month battle of Ningzhen, the real Tartars and fake Tartars came back and forth more than 100,000, and they were all defeated by us one by one, and the Chu army is invincible! ”

When he said this, he pointed to the countless fleeing Qing troops in front of him: "But this battle is not over yet, He Luohui, Tunqi, Jumala, Tong Tulai...... They all want to run away desperately, and turn around to find Chu Jun for revenge, damn it, the boiled duck still wants to fly, you say, can you still let them run away at this time? ”

"Can't!" The soldiers of the Ji'an battalion shouted in unison, and some of the soldiers of the Zhenxiao battalion also shouted.

Chen Youlong and Gu Zongfu nodded, took a step forward, and said loudly: "How to act after the Ji'an battalion and the Zhenxiao battalion defeat Tunqi, Wang Junmen has already had an order. ”

With an uproar, all the Chu officers and soldiers stood up together, their bodies were covered with dust and blood stains, their armor was scarred, the battle flags and military uniforms were tattered, and a solemn aura rose to the sky, Chen Youlong paused, and said word by word: "Wang Junmen has an order: After the rout and escape of He Luohui and Tunqi's headquarters, our army should immediately launch a brave pursuit, at any cost, not afraid of fatigue, not afraid of difficulties, not afraid of hunger, not afraid of casualties, not afraid of disrupting the system, not afraid of mountains and rivers, where the Tartars run, Catch up with them wherever you go! Destroy them! Kill them all! ”

All parts of the Chu army took the lead in action, the Zhenxiao battalion and the Ji'an battalion had to fight independently, once the war started, it all depended on Gu Zongfu and Chen Youlong to command alone, Wang Kefan did not have Zhuge Liang's ability to be wise and close to the demon, and he could not predict the precise direction of the battle situation before the war, so he could only use a stupid method to prepare all kinds of possibilities, and then Gu Zongfu and Chen Youlong made judgments and choices according to the actual situation.

The rout of the Tunquan line is the most ideal result, and the Ji'an battalion and the Zhenxiao battalion should not be conservative at this time, but should scatter all the troops, speed up and advance lightly, and go all out to pursue and kill the fleeing enemy.

……

On the battlefields on the left and right, similar scenes are being played out one after another.

Wang Kefan led the Gongyi battalion and other troops to attack the right road, and Wang Sheng's follow-up troops chased the left road. The troops of He Luohui, Shuo Zhan, and Zakana were all defeated, and more than 20,000 Qing troops rushed within a radius of thirty miles. Flee for your life.

On the battlefield on the right, the marching speed of the Gongyi battalion was definitely not as fast as that of the Zhenxiao battalion. Move a little slower. However, He Luo would take the wounded battalion and the middle battalion, and the number of non-combatants was too large, which also slowed down his marching speed, and he was caught up by the Chu army almost at the same time, and the two sides started a chaotic battle.

The follow-up troops of the Chu army continued to arrive, and the shape became more and more critical, and He Luo used the gecko tactic, leaving behind the wounded barracks and a lump of Qing troops, and staying behind to block the Chu army. He fled into the mountains with thousands of men and horses.

Although there are many soldiers who are lost and left behind, although the truncated tail is constantly bitten off by the Chu army, but He Luohui still escapes farther and farther, after feeling a little safe, he re-raised the flag, gathered the rout, and encountered three large remnants of the Qing army. More than 3,700 people gathered.

Counting the wounded barracks and non-combatants, there were more than 7,000 Qing troops on the right of He Luohui, and now there are only 3,700 left, and the other 4,000 or so must be more than lucky. Every time he thought of this, He Luohui felt extremely heavy...... If the battle is like this, these 4,000 people will be more than lucky. Shuojan and Zakana on the western road, and Tunqi and Bashan on the central road were definitely also attacked. The fate of Zhumala, Mulima, Tong Tulai, Wu Bai and other troops was even more uncertain, waiting until the battle in the mountainous area of Ningzhen was over. Tan Tai, Ma Guozhu and Tong Yangjia, who were trapped south of the Yangtze River, all became very dangerous.

He Luohui is a strong-willed commander in the end, although he has a heavy heart, he does not look discouraged, he keeps shouting loudly along the way, encouraging his subordinates to lift his spirits, and occasionally learning from Cao Cao in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" laughs three times, pointing to the surrounding terrain, telling the Eight Banners that we have passed another natural danger, and we are one step closer to successfully breaking through...... When he laughed, he also had some drums in his heart, for fear that he would suddenly ambush soldiers and be repeatedly slapped in the face by Guan Zhang Zhaoyun like Cao Cao, but Chu Jun obviously did not have such a magical ability to predict, Tun Qi laughed and laughed, and laughed several times without encountering an ambush.

The sound of the Chu army's pursuit and killing is far or near, always falling behind him, He Luo will take more than 2,000 Qing troops to run all night, one foot deep and one foot shallow to wade through mountains and rivers, from time to time to fall on a heel, the armor of the Eight Banners has long been lost, and there is not much left of the swords and guns, and they dare not turn back to fight the Chu army, so they can only run forward desperately. The body is poor, the body is wounded, the head is not so flexible, and there is no light armor at first...... lost to his companion in this cross-country long-distance run, fell behind the team and was caught up by Chu Jun, and his head was cut off without saying a word.

"The moon black geese fly high, and they flee in the night."

The Qing army ran, the Chu army chased, He Luohui fled for a whole night, how far he escaped is impossible to calculate, and the specific direction is not clear, I only remember that I turned over seven or eight mountains, crossed two small rivers, and guided by the starlight, the general direction should not be wrong...... After turning over a mountain beam, the Chu army's pursuit and killing sound can not be heard for the time being, He Luo will check his soldiers and horses, more than 3,700 people have lost more than half, only less than 2,000 people remain, at this time the sky has been dark, the guard reported that the Chu army chased up again, He Luo will leave a patchwork of "elite soldiers" after the break, he took the respite brigade of the Qing army along the mountain beam to continue to run.

By the morning light to see clearly, under the mountain beam is a narrow valley, both sides are steep mountains, the valley is deep and dense, gloomy and murderous, the mountain beam is dotted with woods and piles of rocks, the brigade of people and horses can not pass, only half of the slope is relatively flat, there is a trail that can barely be called the road, along the mountain to the distance, the more you go forward, the more you feel that the terrain is dangerous, more than a thousand Qing troops stretched out a long line, the end can not care about each other.

He Luo would turn a huge rock, look up to the sky and laugh three times: "Ha! Ha! Ha! If the southern thieves set up an ambush here, we can only capture it, but unfortunately, Wang Kefan will not use soldiers after all, we only need to cross this mountain road, and we will ......"

He had just said that he was halfway through when a dense gunfire suddenly sounded in front of him, and He Luohui's face changed suddenly, and he could no longer care about calming the panicked Qing army, so he climbed the rock with his hands and feet, and raised his eyes to look ahead. At the convex corner of the mountain beam in front, a red battle flag of the Chu army was erected, and on the hillside of the battle flag, there were layers of Chu soldiers, all of whom raised their flintlock pistols in their hands and continued to shoot at the Qing army on the mountain road.

Hell, this time the ambush soldiers of the Chu army laughed out, He Luohui raised his hand and gave himself a mouth, hesitated for a while, what to do, what to do now?

Rush up and fight? I can't beat it...... The Eight Banners ran over the mountains and mountains all night, their bodies were exhausted, and they didn't have enough swords, guns and armor, so they would definitely die in vain when they rushed up.

Descending the mountain and walking the valley? It's even more self-defeating...... Since the Chu army has set up an ambush here, how can there be no arrangement in the valley, in that narrow terrain, as long as the Chu army shoots down a row of rockets, the Eight Banners will be wiped out under the fire.

The only way is to rush forward along the mountain beam, and rush over as much as you want!

……

Among the various units of the Chu army, in addition to the Gongyi battalion, which has the strongest combat effectiveness and the best equipment, and the firearms battalion is also an elite unit directly under Wang Kefan, Wang Yi's musket team has long been expanded into a wing, with three musket teams under its jurisdiction, with a total of more than 1,500 people, all of which have been equipped with new-style flintlock muskets, and their infantry combat ability is not weaker than that of any other friendly army.

However, the ruler is short, the inch is long, and the maneuverability of the Gongyi Battalion and the Firearms Battalion in the mountains is far inferior to that of the Zhenxiao Battalion, and it is also inferior to the Ji'an Battalion, so the task of pursuing Tunqi was handed over to the Zhenxiao Battalion and the Ji'an Battalion, and the Gongyi Battalion and the Firearms Battalion were responsible for dealing with the closer He Luohui...... In the middle of the night, after they defeated the Qing army in the Heluo Club, Wang Kefan pursued and killed from the rear with the main force, and at the same time sent Wang Yi and Wang Kebin and other troops to advance lightly and quickly, outflanking in the northeast direction, and finally rushed to the front of the Qing army fleeing the enemy at dawn, seized the favorable terrain, and attacked it severely.

At this moment, what was stopping in front was Wang Yi's musket team, with a strength of less than five hundred people.

In order to speed up the pursuit, Wang Yi's musket team was all lightly armed, without armor, if the frontal resistance would inevitably cause too many casualties, he chose the convex angle on the mountain beam as the blocking position, if the Qing army broke through, it would have to go around the Chu army's blocking position for most of the circle, and accept the repeated baptism of flintlock pistols.

After the front team of the Qing army entered the firing range, the musket team suddenly opened fire, and several consecutive rows of guns knocked down more than half of the Qing army, and the remaining Eight Banners rushed forward in the rain of bullets, and the soldiers of the Chu army just gently turned their guns and shot them all, and only a few remnants fled down the hillside and drilled into the narrow valley.
