"First team, get ready...... Shoot," Cao Yue's war knife in his hand was waved again, and the shouting voice became excited.

The five columns of musketeers have all been shot down in one round, at least more than 1,000 Qing soldiers were shot off their horses, and the Qing army that was impacted fell into confusion, and the Qing soldiers and horses who were killed and wounded blocked the impact of the follow-up men and horses, and few horses could rush within the range of bows and arrows.

The soldiers of the Ming army still have zero casualties, and several Qing soldiers barely rushed to the range of bows and arrows, but they were quickly shot.

Seeing this scene, not only Cao Yue was excited, but Cao Bianjiao and Zhao Zhen, the deputy commander-in-chief, and all the soldiers were as excited as if they had been beaten with chicken blood.

Against Jiannu, although the Eastern Association Army had won several victories, most of the Qing army was shot before they rushed to the front of the formation, and the men and horses behind were blocked and could not rush, so they never fought such an almost one-sided battle.

Cao Bianjiao also really appreciated the power of Cao Yue's segmented shooting, and he was extremely excited in his heart, so he ordered his 5,000 cavalry to all mount their horses, and prepare to counterattack when the Qing army retreated, and take advantage of the situation to break through.

Cao Bianjiao knew that if the other major generals led the army to flee, even if his men and horses could inflict heavy losses on the Qing army, they would not be able to change the outcome of the battle. The fact that the men and horses of the army can break out of the encirclement with a large number of kills and wounds on the premise that that is the best result.

Cao Bianjiao knew that his capital was the Eastern Cooperation Army, and if the Eastern Cooperation Army was destroyed, then he would be finished. Therefore, knowing that the other general soldiers had fled one after another, Cao Bianjiao no longer had the luxury of hoping to reverse the overall situation, as long as he could break out of the encirclement, he was not worried about being dealt with by the imperial court, Wang Pu, Wu Sangui and others who fled first would be punished, as well as Hong Chengchou, the commander of the whole army. A few years ago, the imperial court beheaded several failed governors, including Xiong Tingbi, Yang Hao, Yuan Chonghuan, etc., Sun Chengzong was defeated and captured and died, even if he did not die, he could not escape the heavy responsibility of the imperial court.

Emperor Chongzhen will never let go of the defeated generals, Cao Bianjiao knows this very well. If his troops are also defeated, then even if they get their lives back, they will be beheaded after returning to Beijing. However, if his troops can effectively kill and injure the Qing army and break out of the encirclement, not only will they not be punished, but they may also be rewarded by the imperial court.

Therefore, after arranging the order, Cao Bianjiao quietly and Cao Yue got to the bottom of it, that is, after gaining the advantage on the battlefield, he rushed to kill, and fought hard to get out of the encirclement, and after breaking through the encirclement of the Qing army, he safely retreated to the front line of Ningyuan. When he was making preparations, Cao Bianjiao ordered all the important things in the sergeant general to bring with him, and just in case, he and Cao Yue's personal army, that is, the Jiading troops, were equipped with several times the amount of ammunition.

At the beginning of another round of shooting, the Qing troops who rushed over fell again, and most of the Qing soldiers and war horses who were shot were not killed on the spot, but most of the immortal were seriously injured, and many Qing soldiers who were seriously injured and fell to the ground were trampled into pulp by their companions who rushed from behind.

The massacre continued, and the third round of firing in the Ming musket battalion began. As the Qing army rushed forward, the muskets became more and more lethal. However, because of the physical obstruction of the fallen horses and companions, the speed of the charge decreased significantly, and almost no soldiers rushed within the range of bows and arrows.

The Qing army that attacked Ru * Feng Mountain was the Han army and the Mongolian Eight Banners led by Hao Ge and the servants of the Han Army, and the Jurchens rushed to the rear in every battle, and it was the Han Army and the Mongolian Eight Banners that hit the front, and most of the Ming Army muskets shot in front of the Ru * Feng Mountain were the Mongolian Eight Banners and the Han Army.

Hearing that his men and horses had lost nearly 3,000 people, they didn't even rush to the front of the Ming army, Hauge was still surprised.

"Follow this king, kill, kill all the barbarians of the Southern Ming Dynasty," Haoge did not inquire about the situation carefully, he thought that it was because the Han army and the Mongolian Eight Banners were not good at fighting each other, so this situation would happen. He is clear about the situation of the Zhenjun army in Milk * Fengshan, and it is also clear that Cao Bianjiao's men and horses have the strongest combat effectiveness among all the Ming troops, and he can fully accept that the Han army and the Mongolian Eight Banners suffered relatively large casualties when attacking the Ming army led by Cao Bianjiao.

Anyway, the Eight Banners of the Han Army and the Eight Banners of Mongolia were used as cannon fodder, and the power of the Jurchen Eight Banners was impossible to consume easily.

Hauge believes that after the heavy losses suffered by the Eight Banners of the Han Army and the Eight Banners of the Mongols, the muskets of the Ming Army were basically useless. After receiving a report from his subordinate generals that the Eight Banners of the Han Army and the Eight Banners of Mongolia had suffered heavy losses, he immediately ordered the warriors of the Zhenglan Banner under his command to follow him and kill them.

But Hauge never expected that because of his decision, the Jurchen warriors of the Zhenglan Banner suffered heavy losses.

In the night, the sight of both sides was restricted, and the Qing army could not see the situation in the position of the Qing army, and the Ming army could not see the situation of the Qing army rushing to kill. Under Hauge's order, the Qing army bypassed the fallen companions from the side and continued to rush in front of the Ming army. The Ming army, which was still full of ammunition, continued to fire in sections with the cooperation of intermittent artillery firing.

For various reasons, there were already hundreds of muskets in the Ming army that could not be fired, but the number of muskets left was quite large. Cao Bianjiao usually attaches great importance to muskets, and this good habit has paid off today. Thousands of Qing soldiers fell in front of the position, but their own casualties were negligible. With such a brilliant record, Cao Bianjiao encountered it for the first time.

The Ming army's musketeer position was about a mile wide, located in the middle of the two peaks of Ru*Feng Mountain, and the Qing army wanted to break through the defense line of the Ming army on Ru*Fengshan, and the relatively gentle high ground between the two peaks was the only direction they attacked.

"Bang ......" The sound of neat musket shooting sounded again, and a fire gun raised in a row emitted a red light under the night sky almost at the same time, and the forward men and horses of the Jiannu Zheng Blue Banner Cavalry, who rushed quickly around the corpses of their companions, were suddenly shot down in a large area, but the Qing cavalry behind completely ignored all this, and continued to rush forward with their skillful riding skills to bypass their fallen companions.

Hauge, wielding a war knife, was escorted by a group of personal soldiers, rushing to kill in front, he didn't know how lethal the Ming musket battalion of the whole row of intermittent shooting was, in his impression, as long as he survived the first shot of the Ming army, the victory of the war belonged to the Qing Dynasty, and then the Jurchen warriors could rush to the front of the Ming army, and the Ming army that had no time to shoot again would completely lose their resistance and let them be slaughtered.

But to Hauge's surprise, a deafening sound came from the front of the Ming army again, and the blue flag warriors who rushed forward like a tide fell in large pieces. And the musket fire of the Ming army did not stop, and soon there was a loud roar.

More and more Qing sergeants fell each time, and even Hauge's personal guard Goshha was shot down many times.

"Master, the muskets of the Ming army are too powerful, we can't rush over," Niu Lu Ezhen, who was lucky enough to shoot the muskets of the Ming army, rushed to Hauge and cried bitterly: "The warriors under the minions have all been shot by the Ming army. Master......"

Hauge had already seen the tragic situation of his men and horses, and at least the thousand-horse Jurchen Eight Cavalry Sergeants were shot to the ground, and his eyes couldn't help but split.

He never dreamed that when fighting with the Ming army outside the city, the Qing army would suffer such a blow, and the heroic and invincible Jurchen Eight Banners Iron Cavalry would be slaughtered by the Ming army like this.

"Kill, follow this king, kill all the Nanming barbarians, there are cowards, there is no forgiveness for killing," Haoge had lost his mind, and slashed the Niu Lu Ezhen in front of him with a knife, and continued to command the men and horses under his command to rush and kill.

At that moment, a buckshot hit him in the right shoulder, and blood splattered everywhere.

With a scream, Hauge's sword fell off his horse, and his right hand could no longer be raised.

Seeing that Hauge was injured, the personal guards around him were terrified, and they all gathered in front of Hauge, trying to block the injured Hauge with their bodies. The sound of Ming musket fire rang out again, and several guards in front of Hauge fell off their horses, and Hauge was shot in the left leg again.

"Hurry up and escort the master," the personal guards around Haoge knew that they were in trouble today, and they had no way to attack the front of the Ming army, and the Jurchen elite cavalry of the Zhenglan Banner and the Mongolian Eight Banners and the Han army fell under the muskets of the Ming army, and the Mongolian Eight Banners and the Han army had begun to retreat.

If they don't retreat and continue to charge, they will suffer even more casualties.

Hauge, who had been wounded in his right hand and left leg, was furious, unwilling to be defeated, and he wanted to continue to order his men to charge and kill, when another volley of guns came over, and Goshha, who was protecting him, fell again in a large area, and his mount was also shot, and he was thrown off his horse in pain.

"Master, the Ming army's muskets are very strong, let's withdraw quickly!"

"Damn Nanming barbarian, withdraw ...... The whole army retreats!"

No matter how stupid Hauge is, he also knows that he is in trouble today, thousands of cavalry of the Qing Dynasty fell in front of the Ming army, and none of them rushed to the Ming army. At the moment, he could only reluctantly give the order and the whole army retreated.

"Haha, Jiannu has escaped," Cao Bianjiao, who was waiting for the opportunity, couldn't help laughing when he saw the attacking Qing army routed on all fronts, he pulled out the war knife on his waist violently, and ordered loudly: "Brothers, follow the general, kill it!"

After hearing Cao Bianjiao's order, he burst out with an earth-shattering shout, Cao Bianjiao took the lead in chasing the fleeing Qing army, and the personal guards around him closely followed, and the three thousand cavalry on the right flank followed closely.

Seeing that the cavalry of the Ming army was actually chasing and killing, the defeated Qing army was all shocked, and the Mongolian Eight Banners and the Eight Banners of the Han Army fled faster and faster, and they were really defeated. The tragic situation of the Mongolian Eight Cavalry and the Eight Banners of the Han Army fleeing with their legs, as well as the earth-shattering shouts of killing by the soldiers of the Ming Army, made the Qing Army of the Zhenglan Banner, which had just suffered a heavy blow, also lost its usual bravery, and no longer dared to stop to meet the pursuing Ming army, and ran away.

Jiannu are also human beings, and they are also afraid, especially when they suffer heavy losses. The devastating blow of the Ming army's firearms just now has destroyed their arrogance, and the word defeat is suitable for any army, not to mention that this is the dark night, no one knows how many Ming troops are chasing and killing, Haoge has been wounded, and the Manchu county king who escaped by taking the horses of his guards has no way to control the army.

In fact, the Jurchen elite cavalry will not be in chaos when it encounters defeat, but the news of Haoge's injury has already spread, and under the impact of the Han army and the Mongolian Eight Banners, the Niu Lu really just want to protect Haoge from the battlefield.

"Deputy Chief Zhao Soldier, the musket battalion will be in charge of you next," Cao Yue, who stepped on the war horse, quickly rushed to the front of Deputy Chief Soldier Zhao Zhen and explained the situation, "The last general led his troops to cover General Cao's pursuit of Jiannu. ”

The two battalions of cavalry of the Eastern Association Army were led by Cao Bianjiao and Cao Yue, and the men and horses led by Cao Yue were the men and horses under the name of his father Cao Wenzhao, and only he could command this cavalry, and Zhao Zhen's appeal was far inferior to him. In peacetime, Zhao Zhen was also in charge of the musket battalion, the Qing army was defeated and fled, and it must have been Cao Bianjiao and Cao Yue who led the army to chase and kill, Zhao Zhen did not have a special expression for this, and gladly accepted such an arrangement.

The musket battalion also advanced slowly, and another deputy commander-in-chief, Wu Ju, led the pikemen and other infantry to follow up.

Cao Yue led another cavalry army of 2,000 men and horses, as well as his own 700 cavalry troops, from the other side, chased and killed the fleeing Qing army at high speed.
