The chaotic horse galloped in the direction of the camp at the fork in the road, and Tunqi's mind was full of thoughts of being ambushed again. The www.biquge.info last time Nikan was ambushed by Li Dingguo, he couldn't escape from the encirclement alive, no more than that prince, he was just a little Dorobele, or Shulhaqi's grandson, not Nurhachi's blood, if he was under siege, I was afraid that no one would even save him.

The desire to survive prompted Tunqi to whip his horse fiercely, lest he be caught up or surrounded by the Ming army, but after a while, some people in the Qing army shouted loudly, shouting that the Ming army did not take advantage of the victory to pursue.

Hearing this, Tun Qi hurriedly looked back, because it had just rained yesterday, even after the army had passed, there was not a little smoke and dust. Soon, he found out that it was indeed as those Qing soldiers said, the Ming army really did not catch up.

But it was one thing that the Ming army did not catch up, and Tunqi, who had stopped his horses, immediately realized another problem. Nikan is dead, it is a prince, the Manchu Qing have never suffered such a defeat since the Wanli Dynasty, nor have they lost such a high-level general, and they are also the commander of this Qing army.

At present, Tun Qi has taken over the name of General Dingyuan and has become the commander of this army, and the Qing court has drawn from Jiangxi, which may be attacked by the Ming army of Zhejiang at any time, and the army of Arzin, which was still there to assist in the defense, has merged with it. But the crux of the matter is that a prince died, from him to the leading generals below are all guilty of meritorious service, and he just fled in a daze for his life, but if he goes back like this, he is afraid that escaping to the ends of the earth is also a dead word.

Since the Ming army did not pursue, it obviously had no intention of expanding the results of the battle, as for why he was not very clear, but once he thought of this, Tunqi seemed to see the hope of escaping the punishment of the Manchu court.

Seeing this, Tun Qi immediately sent an order to order the army to be calm and not impatient, and then found a group of senior generals under his command, and explained the truth of their guilt and meritorious service, and moved out of Shunzhi's holy decree of "If there is no extenuating situation, abandon the lord and run to the defeat, then correct the law elsewhere" and intimidated it, and finally brought the generals together again.

The temporary military meeting ended, but the Ming army still did not pursue it, and the time was only a moment, Tunqi sent a cronie to Huajiezi immediately in the gap between reorganizing the army, and then led the army back to the battlefield.

The Ming army at the foot of Zhoujiapu Mountain was still cheering to clean up the battlefield, and one by one they hurriedly killed the Qing troops who could not get out, and then fought for those goods and war horses. The Qing army hadn't run far, but they had just disappeared from view, and when they turned back, they saw all this almost immediately.

The strict orders of the boss, the bloodthirsty nature of the barbarians, and the sadness of the dead rabbit and fox at this moment made the Qing army can't help but boost their morale. The rangers came out in all directions, covering the whole infantry and array, and the whole army marched towards the Ming army that was still stunned with unprecedented momentum.

The Qing army went and returned, Sun Kewang was stunned when he arrived, but whether it was the front army he brought, or most of Feng Shuangli and Bai Wenxuan's subordinates were the elite of the Ming army in the southwest, after a short period of stunned, those veteran officers of the old West Battalion hurriedly commanded their subordinates to re-array, and even the rangers returned to the battlefield to fight with the cavalry of the Qing army to cover the infantry to re-array.

After a round of raids and missed opportunities, the two sides are back to square one. It rained yesterday, the ground was still a little muddy, and the air was damp. The Ming army attacked with light cavalry, the Qing army fled, and neither side had time to move the artillery out, so they had to fight in a more primitive way.

The light cavalry began to disperse slowly, and the battle formations of the two armies continued to approach, until a stone's throw away, the archers of the two armies invariably drew their bows and shot upward, and in an instant the sky in front of the two armies was full of interlaced arrows, as if the locust plagues of the two places met here and continued to move towards each other's destinations.

The arrows fell, causing a ticking and ticking sound, and sometimes there were some unsuppressed intermittent periods of pain. The two armies were still approaching, and when they were only a few tens of meters away, the two sides were like two apprentices taught by a master, and a team of sword and shield soldiers was killed almost simultaneously in front of the battle, throwing large and small throwing weapons at the opponent.

Accompanied by sharp, even some javelins, axes, knives, or other things that refracted in the sunlight of different colors, the soldiers of the two armies burst out with the most shocking shouts, maintaining their formations and crashing into each other's battle formations in the most violent way.

This heavy army group of the Qing army is composed of the Eight Banners Army, the Eight Banners of Manchuria, the Eight Banners of Mongolia and the Eight Banners of the Han Army, which is the core of the Manchu Qing Dynasty's armed forces.

On the side of the Ming army, its core force was the former Xiying Liukou, who established feudal rule after entering Sichuan, but finally gave up Sichuan under the pressure of internal and external pressure and improper real ruling strategy. When they entered Yunnan, they took the whole of Yunnan with the help of the pacification of the Shadingzhou Rebellion, and absorbed the Ming army in Guizhou into their team through the alliance, becoming the most powerful Ming army today. In the Great Western Army, in addition to Li Dingguo's department, which has left Huguang, Sun Kewang's front army can be described as the most elite army.

As soon as they collided, blood splattered in front of the two armies, spears broke through their bodies, waist knives penetrated their flesh, and more was the sound of ping-pong from the collision of weapons.

In the duel between tens of thousands of people and tens of thousands of people, although the Ming army was more, it could not gain the slightest advantage in the battle array for a while, but instead held a flesh mill-style stalemate until the moment when the opponent's morale was exhausted.

Under the dragon flag, Sun Kewang watched the battle between the two armies from afar, and its fierceness really made him tremble. It is one thing to hear that the Eight Banners are invincible, and it is another thing to be shocked to hear that Li Dingguo's formation has beheaded Nikan, but now it is another thing to really command the army in person and fight a bloody battle with this Eight Banners heavy army group.

In the next second, I saw Sun Kewang beckoning, and a team of men in felt and milling feet behind the formation rushed into the formation with a shout. These men threw three rounds of javelins at the gap in the battle array, which can be described as very accurate, almost every shot can nail a Qing army to the ground, even if it cannot be killed directly, it can often cause a certain degree of damage to it, so that the Ming army in front of it has a good opportunity to kill it in one fell swoop.

After three rounds of javelins, these men pulled out their waist knives with brushes, and they were all double knives in their hands. Since ancient times, those who fight with two swords are warriors, and these men in strange clothes quickly rushed to the front of the battle, and those Ming troops who were fighting fiercely also gave them their places under the orders of their officers.

The waist knives of these men are long and straight, and almost all of them have round or annular tails on the handles. These people are Yi warriors recruited by the Southwest Ming Army from Yunnan, also known as Luo Luo, who are the most combative and easy to kill. On the battlefield, I saw these Luo Luo rushing to the front of the formation, and the double knives immediately waved like flying, and a knife slashed at the round shield and blade of the Qing army, and suppressed those Qing troops on the spot.

In fact, it was not that the Qing army was not skilled in martial arts, the two sides originally fought back and forth, and the Qing army, which was inferior in numbers, once had a faint advantage. However, over the years, the tactics of the two armies of the Ming and Qing dynasties have tended to be the same, but they are slightly different in subtleties, just like the Zhejiang Admiral Standard Battalion who encountered the Nantang battalion at the beginning, most of the elite opponents of these Qing troops were warriors with swords, shields and spears.

Luo Luo was originally a sharp weapon that the southwest Ming army relied on to break the formation, in fact, now the Ming army that can not be inferior to the Qing army in the local battlefield also has many different weapons - Zhejiang's Mandarin Duck Array, Fujian's rattan armor soldiers, and the southwest Ming Army's Luo Luo and war elephants, the Qing army's old tactics have all shown more or less decline in the face of these.

In the meantime, yesterday's heavy rain gave Sun Kewang's army the opportunity to sneak into the confluence, realizing the surprise attack just now and the battle with more and less at this moment, but the mud brought by the heavy rain also made his war elephant unable to be as effective as usual.

Fortunately, those Luo Luo have taken over the battlefield, and as expected, as long as they hold on for a while, they can start a pursuit, even if the elite of these Eight Banners Army is more combative, it is just a little longer, in addition to Luo Luo, his army is also far superior, this Qing army will definitely be defeated!

The fierce war drums made Sun Kewang's spirit even more excited, originally he just planned to divide the southwest, but if this battle can be achieved in one fell swoop, who said that he Sun Kewang can ascend the throne as emperor in Nanjing or Beijing. At that time, the Son of Yongli, Li Dingguo, Liu Wenxiu, or the two small army leaders in the southeast all had to bow down in a proper manner.

After a long time, the Qing army was already in decline, and the Qing cavalry of the brigade began to fight from the junction of the central army and the left and right flanks, as well as the flanks of the main army, aiming to fight to the death. At this time, Feng Shuangli and Bai Wenxuan, the commanders of the left and right wings of the Ming army, also dispatched cavalry to meet the battle, and the two sides were already fighting for this last breath.

The strength is obviously superior, and Sun Kewang still has a reserve composed of tens of thousands of cavalry, but he is not in a hurry to use it, but intends to use it to carry out a more ferocious pursuit when the Qing army collapses. But in the blink of an eye, in the direction of Huajiezi, a large group of cavalry bypassed the flesh mills of the two armies and slaughtered towards Sun Kewang's dragon banner.

"Lord, give the order for the soldiers to line up, as long as you hold on a little longer, the army will be able to defeat the Tartars."

The cavalry of the Qing army came out from the other direction, and as soon as he appeared in the field of vision, Sun Kewang woke up from the dream of ascending the throne and being crowned, and when he ascended, it was like falling into an ice cellar.

"Lord of the country, you can't hesitate any longer, the Tartars will be killed in a while!"

The suggestions of the subordinate generals around him pulled Sun Kewang up like a life-saving straw, but the cold feeling did not leave, especially after hearing the earnest request of the subordinate generals, Sun Kewang only had the matter of how to protect himself in his mind.

"I don't want to die, I don't want to die!"

The muttering in his mouth continued, Sun Kewang hurriedly turned the horse's head, and with a whip, the good horse under his crotch ran out like a fly, heading towards the direction of Baoqing.

In an instant, the army collapsed! (To be continued.) )
