Chapter 901: The master's uncle is also the master
After the emperor jumped up a low slope in front of him, he was pleasantly surprised to find that there was a group of Qing troops in front of him who were desperately beating horses and running north, and in front of them, there were more Qing soldiers. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Obviously, the Qing army's brigade is not far away.
"Follow me!"
The harrier didn't say much, he pulled the reins sharply, clamped his legs hard, and the mount neighed and rushed downhill. I really don't know where he got his desperate strength.
"Kill!"
The cavalry of the Taiping Army, composed of hundreds of Han, Manchu and Mongolian tribes, immediately followed closely behind the main general and rushed towards the fleeing Qing army. Now, this posture is completely a beating of the water dogs, and although the body and mind are tired, everyone is scrambling to be the first. Officers should make meritorious contributions, soldiers should also make meritorious contributions, and in the Taiping Army, if they want to get ahead, they only talk about military merits, regardless of their background.
Seeing the cavalry of the Taiping Army chasing behind them, the Qing army running north whipped their horses even louder, and the pain made their war horses under their crotches can't help but step their hooves bigger.
One side chases, one side runs.
There are few people chasing and many people running, but the one who runs refuses to stop.
After chasing less than two miles, there was a faint bend in the road ahead, and nothing could be seen on the bend. Ma Harrier is also a master of art and bold, so he followed straight up. At that bend, the sight ahead made his heart beat wildly. I saw that on the winding road, thousands of people and horses were running north in the dark, and the icy road was trampled by countless horses' hooves. On the ground, there were deep and shallow hoof prints. The two sides of the road where the war horse galloped were full of mud thrown out, and after a rough sweep, even the roots of the poplars beside the road were black.
"The Southern Barbarians have caught up!"
The exclamation soon sounded in the Qing army brigade, whether it was a full soldier or a Mongolian soldier, all of them were panicked. The front is not afraid, how can there be people behind the top, they just need to restrain the war horse to avoid colliding with others. The ones behind were frightened, and the horsewhips were pumping, but the road was so wide, and the front was full of people, so they couldn't run at all, so where could they run to the front.
Thousands of Manchu and Mongolian cavalry who had been invincible gathered together like this, stretching for more than ten miles. Long, with no end in sight, only the countless spires that glow in the sunlight. The sound of people shouting and horses was accompanied by the sound of armor grinding.
Manchu and Mongolian languages are constantly undulating with each other on this unknown Huaiyang road. As the Taiping army pursued closer and closer, the Qing army inevitably panicked again, and the backward Qing soldiers desperately fought their horses forward, causing the already maintainable order to be chaotic. When the people in front heard the movement behind them, they were so frightened that they also squeezed forward, which was going to kill them.
"No chaos, no chaos!"
Several generals with eight banners tried desperately to maintain order, but to no avail, so they had to draw their knives and kill people. The Outer Mongolian soldiers, the Inner Mongolian soldiers, and even the Manchurian children, they all slashed and killed mercilessly, just to calm down the chaos. However, the result of this was to make the scene even more chaotic, and one of the Manchurian generals was directly cut down from behind by a Mongolian soldier.
All the way to chaos, all the way to run, all the way to kill each other, and I don't know how many corpses were dropped along the way. In the end, there was no one to maintain order, and the big guys ran forward together, and whoever ran fast was lucky, and whoever ran slower deserved his back.
In the center of the team, the two yellow flag forbidden brigade and eight banner soldiers in armor were surrounded by one person, and this person was Aobai.
When the shouts of fighting reached the camp, Ao Bai already knew that he had to go. He did not order a retreat, but directly led the Eight Banners soldiers he could control to fight and run north. The generals of the Eight Banners did not want to do this, they abandoned the Mongol army, and escorted Aobai to retreat north.
The retreat of Ao Bai and the Eight Banners of the Forbidden Brigade left the rest of the Qing army with no hope, and they were soon overrun by the King of the Horse Harrier. The cavalry led by the auxiliary ministers rushed into disarray. The Qing army, which was in turmoil, separated from officers and soldiers, and was completely chaotic, was slaughtered by one-sided slaughter, whether it was facing the wolf-like cavalry under Ma Harrier or the infantry of the Taiping army.
The moment Ao Bai turned the horse's head, he knew that he had been defeated again, and he was completely defeated, which was very embarrassing. Compared with the Battle of Sanwan, he didn't even touch the side of the thief Xiucai this time, and he didn't want to believe it himself.
The master's royal conquest has also become a joke, and the defeat is a sure thing, and now the only thing he can do is to withdraw with these elites, and then tie up the master, and tie the master back to Beijing.
This Yangzhou can't stay.
As for how the Qing Dynasty responded to the next crisis after returning to Beijing, whether it was to deal with the encroachment of the thief Xiucai on Jianghuai, to deal with the threat of Wu Sangui from Guanzhong, or to deal with the panic of the people in the north, Ao Bai couldn't take care of it. His only confidence and luck is that although this battle was lost, it was not the annihilation of the whole army, and the Qing Dynasty always had a little strength, so that it would not be as helpless as when Chongzhen was beaten to Beijing by Li Chuang.
The Han people have a saying that if you stay in the green mountains, you are not afraid of running out of firewood. Ao Bai used to think that this was a shameless word of the Han people, a word of self-consolation failure, but now, he wants to use this to comfort himself and his master. Otherwise, he really doesn't know how to see his master and how to talk to him.
After returning to Beijing, what the Qing Dynasty was really worried about was not the thief Xiucai, but Wu Sangui, who had more than 100,000 elite troops under his command, and importantly, he was too close to Gyeonggi. The Qing Dynasty fought for life and death, and it was really buried in the hands of the thief Xiucai, which can be regarded as a retribution, and it was so defeated that there was nothing to say. But if the Qing Dynasty was buried in the hands of Wu Sangui, it would be absolutely unacceptable to worship.
The chaos of the rear army, Ao Bai didn't have to look back, he could hear it clearly, and he didn't bother to care, he only drank to speed up the forward. Now he only hopes that Sonny has sent out Tanma to know the situation here, and he is already preparing to return to Beijing.
The horse harrier is really getting more and more at it now, killing people like killing chickens, and without even using him to carry a gun, the Qing soldiers in front jumped off their horses by themselves, knelt on the side of the road and begged to surrender. The subordinates were also excited, and they were all glad for the courage and choice of their commander. If it weren't for the Lord's insistence on pursuing him here, where would they have gained so much. Now, the so-called Eight Banners who dominate the world are showing their butts in front of them, waiting for them to fight, and they will not give up this kind of good thing. It is true that everyone is moving forward bravely, and no one flinching. Some soldiers even compared what happened in front of them with the scene when they ran after the Ming army, and came to a more pleasant conclusion.
At this moment, even if Zhou Shixiang came here in person, it was hard for him to believe that his hundreds of cavalry would beat the Qing army, which was more than ten times larger, so badly.
Ao Bai didn't expect that the rear army would collapse in an instant, he had already heard the shouts of killing approaching. His brow furrowed, and he suddenly stopped his horse, and as soon as the horse flicked, he turned his head back. The shouts of the Taiping army were getting closer and closer, and the sound was getting louder and louder, and the Manchurian generals who worshiped Zhou Zuo were all frightened, and they didn't know why Aobai stopped.
Wu Keshan, the prince of Horqin, also rushed over with a group of princes Taiji, all of whom brought their personal guards, and also suppressed many routs who wanted to fight on the road.
The various departments of Horqin, because of Wu Keshan and others and their pro-Qing Dynasty, the military food and ordnance were provided by the Qing army, so there were no complaints from the Outer Mongolian soldiers. In addition, Wu Keshan has a great prestige in Horqin, so all the ministries listen to him, and he is the only one who looks ahead, and Ao Bai can't move them.
"Aobai, why don't you leave?"
Wu Keshan hit his horse and came over, and found that Ao Baile was fixed there, so he couldn't help but ask.
Ao Bai glanced at the master's uncle, and complained very much about this prince in his heart. During the Battle of Sanwan, Wu Keshan refused to work hard, and was the first to lead his troops to flee north, resulting in a rout. Today, the same prince moved the royal flag north before he moved Aobai, but he came to ask him why he didn't leave, which made Aobai very angry, but he didn't dare to vent his anger. The master's uncle is also the master, and he said that this sister is the current queen mother, and she can't afford to offend her.
The princes of Horqin, who came with Wu Keshan, ignored Aobai, and surrounded Wu Keshan one after another, and they only had Wu Keshan in their eyes. The Mongol soldiers of Horqin also subconsciously surrounded the princes and isolated them from the Manchurians. This took up a large area, so that the Eight Banners couldn't move. Some Manchurian soldiers who were anxious to go over inevitably pushed the Horqin people, but the other party refused to let them, so they couldn't help but scold again and again. (To be continued.) )
