Neither side had confidence in each other, and both were afraid of the other, but neither side could retreat, so the fighting continued. The battle www.biquge.info was the same as before, and the recruits from both sides of the Ming and Qing dynasties, who were both strong men, rushed to kill under the supervision of the veterans behind.

Dong Xueli stood on his horse, nervously watching the battle on the front line, he saw that when the soldiers in front of the Ming army were killed, the Ming army behind did not hesitate to stop as before, and then turned around and ran wildly, but still rushed up and writhed with the Qing army.

Dong Xueli was a little surprised, how could the morale of the Ming army be kept high. But soon, Dong Xueli discovered that the Ming army that rushed up was not a new soldier, but an old pawn. Their quick killing tactics are very similar to those of their own soldiers.

Hao Shaoqi made a desperate bet and bet his personal guards and the remaining veterans on him, he wanted to defeat the Qing army in one fell swoop, so that Dong Xueli would not dare to pester himself anymore. Ta Tianbao was a little hesitant, because although this style of play can achieve good results, but after all, the number of veterans is too small, once the Qing army comes to their senses to organize a counterattack, the cost of casualties among the veterans will be great, and the battle situation is not something they can control. What the outcome of the battle will be, no one knows.

The counterattack organized by the veterans of the Ming army soon hit the Qing army in front of them, and many Qing soldiers began to cower and even slowly move backwards. On the side of the Ming army, because of the brave rush of the veterans, the wavering recruits also regained their morale and rushed towards the Qing army after the veterans.

When the front-line soldiers and horses were driven back step by step by the Ming army, Dong Xueli sent his personal guards to supervise the battle, and forced those new recruits to move forward with knives, barely maintaining the formation and morale. Many generals came to ask the Admiral if he should withdraw his troops first, and then fight again. Dong Xueli gritted his teeth and refused to allow the order, and those who dared to retreat without permission were not spared. Although the Qing army was difficult at this time, as a general, Dong Xueli knew that the Ming army must be also difficult, and even gritted his teeth, so the victory ultimately belonged only to the person who could grit his teeth and persevere to the end. Time is also an ally of Dong Xueli, and as time goes on and on, the Ming army's vigorous style of play will eventually be depressed and deflated.

Just when Hao Shaoqi and Dong Xueli were gritting their teeth and insisting, a cavalry of about 1,000 people came out from the west of Caikou Town, and the leading knight was holding a military flag with the word "He", and the commander of this cavalry was He Zhen.

"His grandmother's, it's finally in time, Hao Shaoqi and Ta Tianbao didn't embarrass us to break into the camp! Brothers, kill with me! ”

He Zhen waved his big sword and rushed towards the Qing army first, but instead of rushing to the Qing soldiers who were fighting with Hao Shaoqi, he went straight to the Qing army.

The sudden appearance of the Ming cavalry made the Qing army defenseless, and thousands of Ming cavalry were like a sharp knife straight into the Qing army's vital point, so that the Qing army was ambushed in front of the corpse, and the original passionate war drums disappeared silently in an instant. The sudden silence of the drums made the Qing soldiers who were still fighting with the Ming army on the front line look back, not knowing what was happening in the rear. There are more than 1,000 people, and the black pressure is all heads. There are more than 10,000 people, and they are even denser, and they can't be counted. Tens of thousands of horses and horses were fighting, and what was happening in the rear, those Qing troops in front had no way of knowing.

More than a dozen herald cavalry of the Qing army were the cavalry of the Ming army, and when they found that so many Ming cavalry were rushing towards them, the Qing cavalry who gave the order were so frightened that they hurriedly pulled their horses and turned back, wanting to stay away from the Ming cavalry. But in the blink of an eye, the Ming cavalry had already rushed in front of them, and before the Qing heralds could draw their weapons, they swung their knives and slashed at them.

He Zhen roared, the saber fell, and the head of a Qing soldier was separated, and the headless corpse was still standing on the horse, blood gushing wildly. The cavalry of the Ming army roared past the headless corpse, but the corpse seemed to be glued to the horse's back, and it never fell.

More than a dozen heralds of the Qing army were swept into the battle by the Ming army, and after the sound of hooves disappeared, there were more than a dozen ownerless war horses on the field. On the ground, there were more than a dozen corpses, most of which had been trampled by horses. A Qing soldier died like a hanged ghost, his tongue spitting out long, and the blood in his throat dripped down the long tongue in a line on the mud.

"Enemy attack, enemy attack!"

It was not until the cavalry of the Ming army rushed to a distance of more than 100 steps from the Qing army's general banner that Dong Xueli's personal soldiers under the general responded and shouted loudly to warn, and at the same time drew their swords and prepared to resist. Dong Xueli was also taken aback, waving his sword and shouting to lead the troops to block the cavalry of the Ming army. The Qing army flag bearer who guarded the flag was a tall man, and at this time he also turned around and stared at the Ming cavalry rushing in the distance. The vibration of the horse's hooves made the flagbearer instinctively shake his legs, but he clung to the flagpole and carried out his mission motionlessly.

The Ming army rushed over quickly, and most of the Qing army, which had no time to organize an effective defense line in the panic, was scattered, and a straight horse of the Ming cavalry rushed towards the Qing army. The flag bearer of the Qing army didn't know whether he was frightened or the art master was bold, but he still didn't run, he held the flagpole with his left arm, and hurriedly touched the saber at his waist with his right hand. But before he could touch the hilt of the sword, the rushing Ming cavalry had already turned the saber in his hand into a cold light and slashed at his head.

The saber cut straight down, and at the same time as the Qing soldiers of the flag guarded the Qing fell, the cavalry of the Ming army cut off the big banner with a knife, and the tip of the knife picked up the falling banner and ran with laughter. Behind him, only a group of stunned Qing soldiers remained.

"Defeated, defeated!"

The Qing soldiers who witnessed the flag being cut down subconsciously shouted and fled in all directions, and Dong Xueli also ran north under the escort of his own soldiers. The movement in the back quickly spread to the front, causing the Qing soldiers who were struggling to support themselves under the attack of the Ming army to collapse in an instant, and they threw down their weapons one after another, making the same cry of defeat, either kneeling on the spot and surrendering, or running wildly. The collapse scattered like a virus, infecting every Qing soldier who heard the news, and some Qing generals who did not believe looked at the rear, and sure enough, the general flag was gone, but the soldiers in the rear were scattering and running wildly.

Defeated, definitely defeated!

There was no need to think about it, the Qing generals in front also knew that something must have happened behind, so they fled without any hesitation.

He Zhen didn't care about the fleeing Qing soldiers, he just wanted to capture Dong Xueli, but he couldn't see Dong Xueli. Although the Qing army collapsed, He Zhen did not dare to take it lightly, if Dong Xueli escaped, it would be a threat to the Ming army, because he might try to gather the rout army and withdraw to Hanyang, and then it would still be a problem for the Ming army to attack Hanyang. It's a pity that He Zhen took people around the battlefield twice, caught a few prisoners and inquired, and did not find out Dong Xueli's whereabouts, so he had to lead his troops back to assist Hao Shaoqi and them in cleaning up the mess.

Dong Xueli fled, and after discovering that the Ming cavalry was attacking, Dong Xueli ran north. In order to escape back, Dong Xueli lost all the armor and swords on his body, making him look like an ordinary rout, and when he reached a safe place, he had nothing on him except a dagger.

After escaping from danger, Dong Xueli did not return to Hanyang City, nor did he go to meet with the governor Zhang Changgeng, but asked an escaped general to meet Zhang Changgeng and report the defeat.

Dong Xueli didn't dare to see Zhang Changgeng, because he was worried that the news of the defeat would make the newly appointed governor lose his mind and sacrifice his head to the flag, so he decided to avoid the limelight outside, so as not to be an unlucky ghost. In order to convince the Governor that he was not absconding in fear of crime, Dong Xueli asked his subordinates to report to the Governor, saying that he was gathering the rout outside and planned to fight Hao Shaoqi and them again.
