Chapter 81: The Battle of Baoqing (Part II)

The overwhelming shouts came from the rear, and I saw countless Qing troops swept in like locusts, as far as the eye could see, the mountains were full of Qing troops!

"Kill!"

Aobai, who rushed to the front, roared, slashed down with the big knife in his hand, and at the same time flicked his horse's head and rushed diagonally to the side of the Great Western Army.

"Kill!"

Five thousand Manmeng Eight Banners responded violently, the sound was like thunder, and thousands of iron hooves stirred up the snow in the sky, like a rolling iron stream, which instantly killed the rear army of the Great Western Army, and then continued to sprint forward.

The cavalrymen at the front raised their broadswords in unison, and thousands of sharp broadswords carried a cold cold light, and the sharp cold light made the gray darkness of the sky fade.

Collapse at the touch of a button, collapse at the touch of a complete touch!

The two major generals of the Great Western Army, Feng Shuangli and Ma Jinzhong, were both in Baoqing City, Sun Kewang fell into the magic barrier, and the Great Western Army was unorganized for a while.

The frightened soldiers of the Great Western Army faced Ao Bai's command, and the Qing army's most elite Eight Banner Cavalry rushed to kill, and the originally quite chaotic formation was immediately rushed to the ground.

Flying limbs, blood splatters, tumbling corpses...... All kinds of shocking scenes, the soldiers of Onishi couldn't help but be stunned, and they didn't have the slightest will to resist, and the only thought left in their minds was - escape, escape from this killing battlefield!

The thousands of people at the front were the first to disperse, screaming in frenzy and fear, and running straight down the mountain for their lives.

The soldiers at the back of the line were also involuntarily wrapped up and scattered.

"Ping Pong!" The soldiers who fled kept throwing their weapons to the ground, wishing they could fly away from this terrible place with their wings on their backs.

The deserter woke up the demented Sun Kewang.

"Don't run! Don't mess around! Resist me, whoever dares to escape again will be killed on the spot! Sun Kewang led dozens of his cronies, shouting desperately, trying to clean up the soldiers who "broke the embankment"!

But all his efforts were in vain, and almost none of the soldiers who were bent on escaping could listen to him and stop the rout.

Sun Kewang slashed and killed more than a dozen deserters who did not obey orders, but it was still ineffective, helpless and angry, strong anger filled the brain, and in a hurry, he rushed forward desperately to engage the Qing army that was coming.

Sun Kewang's own soldiers saw that they were busy pulling his horse rope and hurriedly persuaded: "Lord Wang, this battle is irreparable. It's not too late to retreat, and if it drags on any longer, the consequences will be unimaginable! ”!

"This ......," Sun Kewang hesitated slightly.

"It's urgent, don't hesitate, the overall situation is important!" The pro-soldier shouted and ordered.

Sun Kewang lamented in almost despair, and then roared hoarsely, "Withdraw, withdraw, retreat to the west!" ”

After hearing the sound of retreat, the Onishi army was completely panicked.

The wheels and horses swerved indiscriminately, and ping-pong collided.

Cars hit people, horses hit people, people crowded, people stepped on people...... The scene was chaotic, with exclamations, cries, and screams...... All kinds of voices rang out.

The Eight Banners Cavalry, which followed closely behind the fleeing Great Western Army, was more like a tiger entering a flock of sheep. The sword flashed, and the Great Western Army wailed again and again.

……

It has been two days since the escape, the whole army retreated again and again, defeated again and again, fled from Baoqing to Yongzhou, when the expedition began, there were hundreds of thousands of troops, and now only 30,000 remnants are all stationed here.

Staying overnight in the barren mountains, the soldiers lay on the ground in all directions, and it had just rained heavily yesterday, and they are still fluttering and sprinkling non-stop.

The ground was full of mud, and the soldiers didn't care about it, only holding the iron spear and spear in their hands, and slept very soundly.

What if you don't sleep? Fallen today, and no matter whether his mother is dead or alive tomorrow, as a soldier and eating food, the battle is already worthy of Sun Kewang, worthy of military pay and food!

Defeated to this point, if it weren't for Sun Kewang's previous prestige, these arrogant soldiers would have rebelled a long time ago.

Sun Kewang heard crying in the distance in the military tent, and asked his soldiers to go and listen privately.

Some of the defeated soldiers of the Great Western Army could not sleep and gathered in one place. Crying about the loss of his brother and brother, abandoning the pain of his companion and losing his relatives, each beat his chest and cried.

Some people couldn't help but scold: "If General Li leads the troops, how can we suffer this disaster!" ”

Many people exclaimed: "Yes, Sun Kewang's ability is not as good as others, so he will only be jealous of the virtuous." If the king of Xining had led the troops, maybe we would have already fought Huguang by now. ”

……

When the complaints of the soldiers were reported to Sun Kewang, he heard some remorse, and said to his generals Feng Shuangli and Ma Jinzhong: "I don't listen to anyone's words, so I will be defeated." I am now gone, ashamed to see this man. ”

Feng Shuangli hurriedly persuaded: "Victory and defeat are common things in soldiers, and since ancient times, I have never heard of a person who won a hundred battles. The prince must not give up on himself, our army still has 30,000 troops, as long as our army converges with the 70,000 army of the king of Xining, there will be no chance to fight again! ”

When he heard Feng Shuangli say that the King of Xining had another 70,000 troops, Sun Kewang's eyes flashed with a cold light, and he was silent for a long time.

……

Defeated the Great Western Army and successfully broke the siege.

In Baoqing City, the Qing army held a grand celebration banquet.

Under the seat, the generals of the Qing army hugged the women of good families who were collected in the city while making love and drinking strong wine, so uncomfortable.

The high-ranking members of the Qing army sitting on the table were quietly drinking wine and did not speak.

After a while, he slammed the wine glass on the desk in a hurry, and drank: "Old man Hong, when I was chasing and killing the Great Western Army, why did you want Mingjin to retreat." What a great opportunity to annihilate the thief leader! ”

Others, Hong Chengchou can ignore them, but Ao Bai is Shunzhi Fulin's henchman.

Shunzhi Fulin sent him to be a deputy general, but he did not mean to supervise Hong Chengchou.

Hearing Aobai's question, Hong Chengchou explained: "Lord Ao, the Great Western Army is not monolithic, and Sun Kewang and Li Dingguo are opposed to each other. Sun Kewang's army is slightly inferior to Li Dingguo, if our army kills Sun Kewang, then the Great Western Army will only look forward to Li Dingguo. At that time, the Great Western Army will inevitably be a fierce enemy of our Great Qing Dynasty, and it will be difficult to destroy it again. ”

Ao Bai heard the indignation and said: "I am invincible in the world, so why not be afraid of thieves!" ”

Hong Chengchou said in a deep voice, "You all know that the Zheng pirates have gone north to attack the hinterland of our Great Qing Dynasty, and now the two provinces of Jiangsu and Zhejiang have fallen, and Anhui is probably in danger. If the Zheng thief who committed the crime cannot be destroyed as soon as possible, the Qing Dynasty will not be at peace, and the people will not be at peace. I just Mingjin withdrew his troops and bypassed Sun Kewang's life. Sun Kewang is jealous, as long as I repair a letter to Sun Kewang and provoke the relationship between him and Li Dingguo, they will kill each other, and the Great Western Army is not worried. What is worrying is Zheng Jiajun, I intend to return to the eastern front and recover the lost territory! (To be continued.) )
