Just when everyone was stunned by the sudden volley of artillery fire from the head of Juyong Guancheng, one of the projectiles fired by the Hongyi cannon at the head of the Watergate City passed through the bodies of one body after another, and the momentum continued unabated, and it kept jumping and rushing into the crowd of guards around Huang Taiji, injuring several horse legs before stopping the rolling.

This made the crowd around Huang Taiji in an uproar.

At this time, Darhan eagerly said to Huang Taiji: "Great Khan! Juyong Pass is well defended, and if you continue to fight, I am afraid that it will increase casualties! ”

Fan Wencheng, who had been frowning and looking pained, also stood on the horse at this time and said bitterly: "Your Majesty! Judging from today's situation, the Southern Dynasty is very human! Its deliberate attempt to lure our army to attack the city is a completely well-arranged trap! At this time, if Your Majesty does not retreat quickly, in case there are cavalry hidden in his pass, the minions are worried that it will be too late in a while! ”

When Huang Taiji heard this, his face suddenly turned red, he held a horse whip, and he slammed Fan Wencheng's head and face, and shouted while whipping:

"Bai Yintu is right! It is your proposition to break the border and go south, and it is also your proposition to attack Juyong, and now it is not good to go out, and it has become your proposition to persuade me to retreat! I have raised your generation for many years, and this is how you repay me?! If you dare to talk nonsense again, I will not forgive! ”

At the same time that Huang Taiji whipped Fan Wencheng, Huang Degong at the gate of the military capital also received an order from Jiang Yingzhao.

Huang Degong gave an order, and the ten Hongyi cannons on the gate of the military capital instantly ignited the fire twist stuffed in the fuse, only to hear a loud "bang", and a huge projectile instantly crossed the distance of more than two miles, clinging to Huang Taiji's horse's buttocks, and fell into the crowd behind Huang Taiji, beating dozens of people in a straight line to the flesh and blood.

Huang Taiji's white horse neighed, and then suddenly the man stood up and threw Huang Taiji off the horse.

The crowd around Huang Taiji was suddenly in chaos, and Fan Wencheng, Darhan, Bai Yintu, He Luohui and others quickly stepped forward and helped Huang Taiji up from the ground.

Huang Tai is burly, tall and fat, and his weight is above two hundred pounds, so he suddenly fell off the horse without warning, although his life was not in danger, but he fell dizzy, and one arm was so painful that he couldn't exert himself.

When he endured the severe pain and just stood up, he heard another loud bang at the gate of the military capital, Huang Taiji was about to bow his head subconsciously, but suddenly saw Darhan standing in front of him, suddenly hit hard by something, and instantly flew out upside down and fell into the crowd.

It turned out that another huge projectile flew in, but this time it hit Darhan's chest, punching a huge bloody hole in the ribcage below the neck, and he was already too dead to die.

Seeing that the important ministers around him were killed tragically by the artillery, Huang Taiji, who had always been mentally tough, could no longer withstand such pressure, and immediately shouted: "Retreat!" Fall back! Hurry up and retreat! ”

After Huang Taiji said this, he didn't care to look at Darhan, who fell to the ground, and the Jianyu army that was still attacking the city in front of him in the rain of guns and shells.

After that, the frightened Huang Taiji, with the help of the guards around him, rode another war horse, and under the escort of the Yellow Banner Guard, he hurriedly went north along the road in the military capital.

Huang Degong didn't know that his Hongyi cannon on the gate of the military capital almost killed Huang Taiji, the lord of Jianyu.

At this time, he was just running and commanding the ten Hongyi cannons on the head of the city, constantly bombarding the place where Huang Taiji and others were originally stationed, with the purpose of blocking the retreat of the enemy troops on the ice of the Wenyu River.

Although Huang Taiji's order to collect and retreat was very hasty, it was accurately transmitted to the last group of remnants of the Jianyu River on the ice of the Wenyu River outside the water gate of Juyongguan.

It was also rumored that Yue Tuo, who had fled to the bottom of the cliff opposite the Wenyu River to escape the artillery fire.

Yue Tuo, who finally waited for Huang Taiji's withdrawal order, immediately followed closely behind the more than 1,000 red flag cavalry beside him who were dodging guns and shells, and galloped towards the upper reaches of the Wenyu River with projectiles flying behind him, on his side, and even in front of him.

The distance of more than a mile was short, but Yue Tuo felt that it was unprecedentedly long.

The familiar guards around him were killed one by one by flying projectiles, or fell down with men and horses because their horses stepped into craters on the ice, and some were directly shot down by projectiles fired by the ultra-long-range cannons behind them.

However, Yue Tuo was very lucky, galloping in the dense rain of bullets, and actually rushed out of this death zone intact, and escaped with the remaining hundreds of red flag cavalry.

It's just that there are still more than 2,000 surviving Red Banner Infantry, Yellow Banner Infantry and some Mongolian soldiers behind Yue Tuo, but they are not so lucky.

Wang Tingchen, Liu Xingzhi and other 3,000 cavalry battalions who had been riding on horses for a long time to wait for the shelling to stop, soon rushed out of the military capital gate, which had been wide open.

Wang Tingchen led two battalions of cavalry and quickly blocked the more than 3,000 enemies who were lucky enough not to be killed by guns but most of them were wounded on the surface of the Wenyu River.

Liu Xingzhi followed the plan set in advance, and took more than 4,000 cavalry from the two battalions of Hu Dawei and Fierce Tiger to the north along the military capital to pursue the retreating Jianyu.

The forts on the Badaling and Shixia Ridges on both sides of the Beikou Valley in the military capital also rumbled at this time, indicating that the vanguard of the retreat of Jianyu had already run to the exit of this mountain range.

Although the 3,000 battalion cavalry of Liu Xingzhi and others was not as elite as the Guanning Iron Cavalry in Liaodong Town, after a year of reorganization and training by Wang Tingchen, the total number of cavalry was reduced from more than 21,000 to more than 10,000 today.

Among them, the cavalry was reduced to more than 8,000 people in the four battalions of the left and right, front and center.

Although the number of registered people on the military register is smaller, they are all real people, and after moving Miyun, not only did they eliminate the old and weak before, but also got rid of the various servants and slaves who were placed in by the Jingshi and nobles to receive salaries, and their combat effectiveness increased instead of decreasing.

Now the 3,000 battalion cavalry, who have been recuperating for a long time, quickly went out of the city to chase and kill those defeated troops who lost six souls, and the next battle naturally did not have any suspense.

That night, Liu Xingzhi, Hu Dawei, Meng Ruhu and others led the army to reclaim Yulin Fort.

They pursued Jianlu all the way for dozens of miles, but they did not catch up with Huang Taiji or Yue Tuo.

However, they chased the yellow flag and the red flag all the way, and the defeated army did not dare to turn back to fight, and had to abandon a large number of wounded soldiers and unmanned war horses.

More than 1,000 wounded soldiers who were abandoned and ignored by Huang Taiji, Yue Tuo and other high-level officials and soldiers naturally became the military exploits of Liu Xingzhi, Hu Dawei and Fierce Tiger and their officers and soldiers.

More than 1,100 living people soon turned into more than 1,100 heads, which were brought into Yulin Fort by Liu Xingzhi and others and stacked up.

Intercepted by their pursuit, there was also a group of war horses that could be pulled out with a full set of saddles and could go directly into battle.

This group of precious war horses that were gathered together was driven back to Juyong Pass by Liu Xingzhi's Chinese army Wang Bi with a bunch of people along the military capital that night.

Among them was Huang Taiji's own tall and slender horse, with a pure white body and no variegation.

And the battle led by Wang Tingchen, the commander of the 3,000 battalion, under Juyong Pass, was even more suspenseless.

Although the braided infantry of Jianyu, which has always been known for its tenacity and tenacity, still refused to surrender and fought desperately, it was quickly wiped out under the wave after wave of cavalry attack of the overwhelming superiority of the 3,000 battalion of cavalry.

In the end, only about 700 Mongols remained, and they were treated as prisoners because they besieged the Jurchens with the defective Dolzidarhan Jinong.

The rest of the Mongol tribes, large and small, from Dorzidarhan Jinong down, died under the volley of muskets and round after round of artillery bombardment at the head of the city when they attacked Juyongguan Water Gate.

In the evening, the cold wind that had been blowing for a day finally stopped, and in the evening, a heavy snow fell one after another.

This was the first heavy snow in the winter of Chongzhen's second year. [.]
