Chapter 1134: A Shame Before the Snow

readx; The one who cut off half of Niyaha's face with one arrow was He Kegang, the most famous marksman in the Ming army and the general of Liaodong. The range of the arrows fired by ordinary soldiers www.biquge.info is fifty or sixty steps, the range of the Eight Banners cavalry can reach eighty steps, and the most powerful generals can shoot up to about 100 steps at most. But He Kegang's arrow was actually shot from a hundred and thirty paces away, and Niyaha was not prepared at all, so he couldn't dodge.

Starting with He Kegang's arrow, the Shanhaiguan border army finally joined in this unprecedented and tragic decisive battle. Especially the general Man Gui, who rushed to the front of everyone with a big knife, staring at the blood-red eyes and desperately slashing the Qing army. His 1,000 Mongol cavalry, like his commander, vented his long-standing anger on the battlefield.

Because he was a Mongol and had a rough nature, Man Gui and all the border generals couldn't get along. The only one who could talk about it was Zhao Shujiao, and later the two also fell out, and they also did it on the spot at the banquet.

But Man Gui is also a bold and upright person who knows his mistakes and must change. During the plague control in Shanhaiguan, Zhu Youzhen and Sun Chengzong once had a heart-to-heart talk with Man Gui, and at that time Man Gui was still angry with Zhao Shujiao. Zhu Youzhen started from the root cause of the grudge between the two of them, once on the battlefield Zhao Shujiao did not rescue Man Gui, through repeated demonstrations on the sand table, it was proved that Zhao Shujiao's choice was correct, if he rushed to the rescue, he fell into the Qing army's plan to transfer the tiger away from the mountain. Zhao Shujiao can't stick to the overall situation, of course, Man Gui is indeed very dangerous, but as a general, he can't be emotional.

After listening to Zhu Youzhen's explanation, Man Gui's heart knot was untied, and he smiled embarrassedly: "Holy Lord, you still don't know the stinky temper of the last general!" He Zhao led the sect too, I quarreled with him, if he said it to the saint like this, how could I not do it with him as an old man! Anyway, when I meet him again, I will pour wine for him in public to make amends, at most let him beat me again! ”

But that opportunity will never come to pass. In the battle of Xifengkou, Zhao Shujiao was martyred, Man Gui beat his chest and cried after hearing the news, he always felt that he owed Zhao Shujiao a penalty, and even Zhao Shujiao was transferred to Jizhen, which was also indirectly caused by himself. If it weren't for Zhu Youzhen's strict order to order the Shanhaiguan border army not to attack, Man Gui would have gone out of the pass and fought desperately with the Qing army.

Like the main general Man Gui, his 1,000 Mongol cavalry were often ridiculed by the Han army because of their language, living habits, religious beliefs and other aspects. Because of this, these Mongolian men have long been holding back a fire, wanting to prove themselves with their military exploits on the battlefield and fight back against those guys under Zu Dashou who just talk and don't practice.

Therefore, Man Gui and his subordinates were like tigers out of the cage, not caring at all about the sharp arrows shot at them by the Qing army, and rushed with a wild shout. As the saying goes: those who are afraid of being stunned, those who are stunned are afraid of dying, Man Gui is this kind of lifeless way of fighting today, coupled with the fact that the Qing army was already powerless and demoralized, and was rushed by him, many squads behind collapsed instantly, and then infected to the middle of the battlefield, and finally evolved into an unstoppable rout of the whole army!

After Niyaha was wounded by an arrow, he covered his face and ran wildly, but at this time, the second half of the Qing army had fallen into the front and rear of the Ming army, and was surrounded by heavy encirclement, how could he escape? Niyaha rushed in different directions several times, but failed to break out of the encirclement, all the arrows he brought with him were shot, and his own soldiers around him were also killed and wounded. At this time, he also knew that the end was coming, so he simply stopped running away, but instead waved his saber and rushed towards the Ming army, intending to kill some more enemies and buy time for his master Amin to retreat.

At this time, he saw at a glance that there was a general on the opposite side who was holding a silver bow and his face was as white as jade, and he frequently shot the Qing army with bows and arrows, and the arrows he shot were the kind that cut off half of his face. The enemy was very angry when they met, and Nyahar was now a wounded beast, and he rode his horse around the battlefield in a circle, sneaking up on the general from the flank and rear. Seeing that he was less than ten steps away from the other party, Niyaha raised the saber high and slashed at the other party viciously, thinking that this sword would have to be lifted off the opponent's Heavenly Spirit Cover.

At this moment, the general suddenly turned around, aimed at Niyaha with a silver bow, and even smiled at him, which seemed to say: I didn't shoot you to death just now, and now you send you to the door again, save me from looking for it, thank you!

Immediately after that, Nyaha felt a strange force penetrate through her left eye and into her skull, and then she knew nothing.

He Kegang shot Niyaha to death with an arrow, and at this time, Man Gui also rushed to the horse, so hot that he threw off his helmet, and his sweat turned into white gas in the cold wind, and he shouted excitedly: "Lao He, I killed thirty-seven Tartars with my own hands, how are you?" ”

He Kegang didn't want to provoke this powder keg, and replied lightly: "I'm far worse than you." You and I hurry to meet with the Holy Master, it seems that we have only intercepted half of the Tartars, and a few have fled north. ”

Man Gui happily joined forces with He Kegang and went north to kill together. At this time, this fierce decisive battle has come to an end, after the collapse of the Qing army was driven by the Ming army to the sky and no way into the ground, the more people are killed, the less they kill, in the end, it is often the Ming army dozens of horses chasing the Qing army, one person and one horse, after catching up, it is a chaotic blade.

At this point, the Manchurian cavalry with white flags was indeed stronger than those traitors with Han flags, and none of them dismounted and surrendered. Of course, the final result was the same, the Ming army did not accept surrender at all, as long as it was a Qing army, it would be shot, hacked, and trampled to death, and no one would be left alive.

Finally, an hour later, the last Qing soldier on the battlefield was swept off his horse by Guan Ning Tieqi with a mace, and as soon as he got up from the snow with a mouth full of blood foam, he was pierced through the body by more than a dozen iron spears at the same time, and after making a half-neigh, he was cut off by the Ming army in the spirit of humanitarianism.

At this time, as far as the eye could see, the battlefield was full of corpses, and the Qing army horses that had lost their owners were running aimlessly. The Ming army formed a tight encirclement, conducted a dragnet search from the outside to the inside, and made up for the Qing troops lying on the ground, whether they were still panting or already dead, and then beheaded them.

Finally, after confirming that there was no longer a living Qing army on the battlefield, tens of thousands of Ming troops once again let out earth-shattering cheers!

Amid the cheers, Zhu Youzhen rode his horse across the bloodstained battlefield, and several generals hurriedly stepped forward to salute and report the battle situation. After rough statistics, more than 8,000 people were annihilated in this battle with white flags and Han army flags, and the Ming army itself paid nearly 3,000 casualties.

Zhu Youzhen listened and said, "You have worked hard. Since the first battle of Salhu, the official army has been defeated repeatedly against the Tartars, and this battle is the first time that a complete victory, a shame before the snow, you and all the soldiers have made great contributions! However, before the complete work was completed, the thief chief Amin had already led the remnants to break through. It is advisable to chase the poor bravely, not to sell the name of the overlord, and I hope that the generals will lift their spirits, beat the water dogs, and completely eliminate the white flag of the Tartars! ”
