Nikan, unlike Bolo, was much more agile and unscrupulous, and when the Warrior Battalion struggled with the exterminating bullets, he had already begun to retreat with a few hundred escorts around him.

What honor, what face, in the face of life and death, are all floating clouds.

Retreat is an elegant way of saying, to put it bluntly, it is to escape.

I lost 20,000 or 30,000 people in this battle, how to explain to Azig and Dolgon when I go back, and then I will talk about it when I go back, if I don't leave at this moment, I really have to explain myself here.

But to run, it's not so easy, the baggage soldiers in the rear are mainly composed of Nikan Aha, these people say that the good ones are laying soldiers, and the bad ones are mainly slaves, and they can also carry knives into battle, but they mainly do some things like cleaning up the battlefield, charging into battle, it's not okay.

When Bolo's Ruishi camp was engulfed in smoke and fire, the entire rear formation began to collapse, and seeing that the Jurchen soldiers who were usually as fierce as gods were actually wiped out in front of them, the slaves suddenly lost the last shred of luck and confidence.

As with the order in which the soldiers fled, the Mongols were the first to run, then the higher-ranking Ahha, and finally the Han Nikan, who threw away their baggage vehicles and the supplies they carried, and ran in panic towards the vast mountains.

These men numbered in the thousands, and most of them were foot soldiers, scattered on the ground, in a heap in the east and west, which seriously hindered the running of the cavalry of the Nikan brigade behind.

On the two wings, the two cavalry of the Kuizhou soldiers have been outflanked, and they did not entangle with the chaotic Qing soldiers, and rushed to the rear of the Qing army with one mind, and the intention of closing the door and beating the dogs was obvious.

Nikan's guard camp is extremely elite, a water of red-armored Ba Ya La, everyone wears three layers of armor, wearing chain mail inside, cotton armor in the middle, and a layer of iron armor on the outside, wearing an eight-petal iron tasseled helmet; The horse is a healthy horse, wrapped in iron leaf leather armor, armed to the teeth, with a long steel knife in each hand, and equipped with a horned bow is also of the highest quality, in this era, it is equal to a tank on the battlefield.

Two white torrents and red iron streams collided together at a certain node, and the first real cold weapon battle in this battle just kicked off.

The Qing soldiers were only a few hundred, and the Kuizhou cavalry had 8,000 people, the number of people, and the judgment was made, according to common sense, these Qing soldiers should be submerged in the white-armored Kuizhou soldiers.

But the result was unexpected, the Bayala soldiers rushed out of the encirclement of the Kuizhou army, they lined up in a goose-shaped formation, and protected Nikan without any tricks directly from the Kuizhou cavalry lined up in a horizontal row to charge head-on, everywhere they went, people turned on their backs.

Whether the Kuizhou army is destroying the mountain crossbow or riding a bow, the arrows shot hit the Qing soldiers, as if they were shot on the iron wall, and they bounced on all sides, but they couldn't shoot down a person, those sharp arrows were embedded in the armor leaf at most, and they couldn't penetrate at all, and the Qing soldiers with the most arrows were full of arrows like a hedgehog, but people didn't feel hurt, and the knife in their hands danced more crazy.

On the contrary, the heavy arrows shot by the Qing army could break through the cuirass of the Mingguang armor of the Kuizhou army at close range, and the thick iron plate could not protect the cavalry wearing him, and those who were hit by the arrows all fell to the ground and fell from their horses.

Baya Labing's personal martial arts are exquisite, opening the bow with 100 shots, and every time the string is like a full moon, every arrow shot has the Kuizhou army officers and soldiers turn over and fall off their horses.

And close, between the two sides staggered, spears and knives stabbed around, the loss is often also the Kuizhou soldiers, immediately dodge skills and weapons between a stretch and a hand, in fact, there is a lot of knowledge between the lightning and flint, Kuizhou soldiers often see a flower, the weapon falls into the void, but the Qing soldiers can cut the knife from the weak point of their own defense, simple and practical, cruel and fast.

Under the command of Nikan, the Qing soldiers did not love to fight, and directly came out of the Kuizhou cavalry, as if an iron cone easily pierced a layer of wooden planks, in the rapid gallop, the Kuizhou army could not use the exterminating bombs, if you do so, it is likely that you will not blow up the Tartars, but will accidentally injure the friendly troops.

The horses of the Qing army were fast, a few points better than the horses of the Kuizhou army, and after running for a while, they disappeared into the mountains in the pursuit of the short arrows of the crossbow that destroyed the mountains.

Li Dingguo and Ding Guodong were angry, this is a big shame, thousands of people chased and intercepted hundreds of people, and they were free to come and go as if they were in a no-man's land, if the Tartars wanted, it is estimated that they can still get in and out of their team after going around like this.

So the two of them turned their temper on the Mongols and the lonely Jurchens who were running all over the ground, and the Kuizhou army was divided into zero, galloping with a team of 100 people, and the scattered Qing soldiers were so cried that they cried and shouted for their mothers, and killed them into a river of blood.

The Qing soldiers on the plains and wilderness were blocked by the cavalry, and they had to run to the mountains on both sides, and the white-armored soldiers were like farmers driving ducks, and they were happy to slash and kill, and even Wang Huan himself also slashed several Qing soldiers.

Until it was dark, the Kuizhou army was still looking for people all over the mountain with torches, and the Qing army who fled to the mountain had no horses, and could not go far, and was chased by the Kuizhou army who were accustomed to the mountain road, and shot to death with a mountain-destroying crossbow, and then cut off their heads and went back to ask for credit.

Li Dingguo and Ding Guodong were still unwilling, and asked Wang Huan for his life, asking the army to chase after Nikan who ran away, and spoke generously to hide the shame in their hearts.

Wang Huan glanced at the two of them, and blocked the two of them back with one sentence: "Just now the Tartars were poor, and we couldn't stop them, but now that the Tartars have run away, the road ahead is unknown, how sure can you two intercept them?" ”

The two blushed and were silent.

Wang Huan patted them on the shoulder, and said warmly: "It's no wonder that you two don't care about this, the Tartars are extremely vicious, they look at death as if they were going home in order to escape, and they are united, it is difficult to stay, it is already very good to be able to exterminate most of the Tartars in this valley, you two have more merit than fault, and don't feel sorry for yourself." ”

Hearing this, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief, and went to a big stone in their hearts, Li Dingguo remembered the scene of the battle with the Nikan guards just now, and couldn't help but speak: "Master Hou, the Tartar guards are all elite in the army, and the armor on their bodies is layered, wrapped like an iron man, we can't penetrate the arrow, the knife can't cut, and even the spear can't pierce it, it's really hard, and we will definitely encounter it again in the future, and we have to think of a good way to be prepared." ”

At this time, the war has ended, except for the shouting and screaming from time to time on the mountains on both sides, the near place has been quiet, there are no clouds tonight, the moon stars are sparse, the bright moonlight shines on the people sitting on the Shiling Pass, the fog seems to be wrapped in a layer of frost on the white armor.

Wang Huan sat on a rock, used his sword as a staff, removed his helmet, and tied his long black hair in a bun on the top of his head, staining his chest with a little bloodstain everywhere, which was splashed when he killed the enemy.

He listened to Li Dingguo's words, smiled indifferently, and said: "This is just a heavy cavalry, a veteran of Dingguo, there must already be a method in his mind." ”

Li Dingguo was told by him that he was thinking through, his old face was not red, and he said cheekily: "This, it is not a method, in ancient times, to deal with heavy cavalry, such as abducted horses, iron harriers, etc., there is a set of techniques, some are equipped with heavy weapons, maces, etc., to break their armor, and there are also equipped with long knives to cut off horses' legs, but in the eyes of the general, these are not fundamental methods." ”

He took a look at Wang Huan, and said: "The last general thinks, Hou Ye's firearms are so fierce, do you also get us some three-eyed system or something, Zubian once said to me, when I was in Liaodong, it was extremely effective to deal with Jiannu's three-eyed system, and when I got closer, I crackled and put three shots, and then the thick armor could be broken, and some of the fast-rushing ones were killed, and then the three-eyed system was rounded and used as a mace, combining far and near, it was extremely powerful, Jiannu was afraid and envious, and even robbed the city The first thing is to collect these three-eyed systems. ”

Wang Huan was stunned for a moment, has been making guns and cannons, but did not use the firearms used by the cavalry, according to the thinking of later generations, after the development of infantry firearms accelerated, the increase in the rate of shooting will make the cavalry slowly abdicate, but there is a process, and the cavalry before the appearance of the car The status of the king of mobility can not be replaced, whether it is outflanking or large-scale mobilization, cavalry is indispensable, and now the cavalry of the Kuizhou Army is equipped with cold weapons in addition to the crossbow that destroys the mountain, and even the killing bullets are very few, and it is indeed difficult to fight for elite cavalry such as the Qing army.

"Three-eyed unity......" Wang Huan touched his chin, thoughtful.
