Chapter 161: The Tragedy of the Great Khan and Elder Brother
Baoding, arch gate. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
'Run!'
On the other side of the moat, a Ming army officer yelled.
Then he and the four soldiers ran as fast as they could, and then each threw themselves into the dirt pit on the side of the road, and almost at the same time, a blazing flame erupted from the rocket launcher directly facing the city gate behind them, and instantly crashed into the city gate hole, and with a sound of explosion like the sky and the earth cracked, the city gate hole of the arch gate turned into a cannon barrel, and countless broken bricks sprayed out like scattered bullets with flames.
When the smoke and dust cleared.
"Kill!"
Looking at the city gate that had disappeared, Chen Kai shouted with a finger of his saber without hesitation.
Beside him, thousands of Ming soldiers with bayonet rifles, shouted and rushed to the moat in the dry season, wading through the chest-high river water quickly rushed over, and then poured into the city gate hole of the arch gate, at this time they were facing a small number of flag troops with flintlock guns to fire, and the Ming army that was charging kept people falling, but this was useless, the momentum of the Ming army still rushed in, and then the spear-like rifle and the flag army melee together.
And behind them, countless Ming troops were pouring in.
The city of Baoding was breached.
"Quick, get out of the way!"
In front of the gate of the Governor's Palace, Yinzhi and Zhou Peigong got on their horses in fear, and the soldiers in front of them shouted, constantly smashing the chaotic soldiers in front of them with their spears, and escorting the third elder brother and the Governor to flee westward. At this time, there is no other way, no place to go can definitely escape from Yang Feng's clutches, these two guys are very aware of the ferocity and ferocity of the Ming army, the only way to survive is to go west and quickly drill into Taihang Mountain and go out of Taiguan, after this defeat, there is no hope in the Central Plains, that is, there can still be a road in Shanxi Taihang Mountain to stand up for a little more.
The two of them didn't even care about their own families, so it can be said that they abandoned everything and galloped desperately on the chaotic streets of Baoding, heading straight for Zhanyue Gate in the west of the city.
Closer, closer, seeing that Zhanyue Gate was in front, and even there was no trace of artillery fire on the city wall, it was obvious that the Ming army did not attack this side, Yinzhi and Zhou Peigong couldn't help but glance at each other, the third elder brother even showed a bright smile on his face, almost at the same time, suddenly a gunshot rang out, and the war horse under his seat fell down with a scream, and the unlucky third elder brother flew out directly and smashed on the hard street, and then a black shadow fell, and the governor of Zhou also smashed beside him in the same posture.
Gunfire erupted in the houses on the right side of the street.
The Ming army with rifled guns, and the soldiers of the green battalion with shotguns anyway, stood in front of the doors of those shops, the windows, aimed at the personal soldiers under Yinzhi and pulled the trigger, and the whole street immediately died in the whistling sound of bullets, and on the second floor of a hotel not far away, the general soldiers of the green battalion who were originally guarding Zhanyue Gate were sitting next to a Ming army battalion commander with a smiling face, enjoying the beautiful scenery below.
Well, the gates have been lost.
The green battalion guarding here actually had secret dealings with the Ming army before the Ming army launched an attack, and it also got the promise of Yang Wangye not to blame in the past, so of course it was necessary to quickly defect.
Poor when the third elder brother and Zhou Peigong were dizzy and bloodied and dragged up from the ground, they could only look at the general soldier with sad and indignant eyes, and the latter stood in front of the battalion commander of the Ming army, pointed at them and said with a smile on their faces: "Battalion Commander Li, this is the evil seed of the Tartar Dog Emperor, the third elder brother, Yinzhi who has just been named the king of the county, that is the old traitor who is unrepentant, the governor of Zhili, and Zhou Peigong, who has just been named a first-class marquis." ”
"Yes, you're a big merit!"
The battalion commander said with satisfaction.
"Hurry up, don't hurry up and wait for the third elder brother and the Hou Ye!"
Then he shouted to his soldiers.
More than a dozen soldiers of the Ming army immediately surrounded him, tied Yinzhi and Zhou Peigong with ropes, like carrying a fat pig to be slaughtered, took a pole and wore it, and carried it straight to the governor's mansion behind the team.
At the same time, Dzungar Khan Tsewang Alabutan was leading more than 1,000 cavalry to rush out of Yingxun Gate.
This Dzungar Great Khan, who was originally like his uncle Geldan in history, and caused the plague in the northwest and even in Tibet, is now like a lost dog, just thinking about running south as fast as possible, trying to stay away from the Ming army behind. His number one general, Tseling Dundobu, had been blown up by the Ming army's cannonballs in the previous battle, and the most elite heavy cavalry of the Dzungar Department had also been slaughtered by the dragoons of the Yang demons, and the rest were either scattered all over the place because there were no horses and could not come as soon as possible, or they could only be chased by the Ming army with two small short legs and nailed to the ground by bayonets.
And what else can he do but run?
Fortunately, as long as he escapes from the encirclement of the Ming army, escapes from this terrible Central Plains, and escapes back to distant Ili, it will not be long before he can pull up a powerful iron cavalry again, and he is still the master of the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains.
"Hurry, hurry!"
His Majesty the Great Khan shouted eagerly.
His 1,000 cavalry, either on horses or camels, was desperately accelerating, and behind them the city of Baoding was filled with gunsmoke, and the shouts of killing were faintly discernible.
Fortunately, it's all gone.
Suddenly, Tsewang Alabutan saw the fire shining under his feet, and before he could react, a loud sound like the sky was cracking exploded in his ears, and then he felt that he and the war horse under his crotch flew up at the same time, and he lost consciousness at the moment of flying. When His Majesty the Great Khan opened his eyes again, he saw the corpses of his elite cavalry all over the field, and the road he had just walked was full of large and small dirt pits, just like Kang Mazi's face, and most of the war horses lying on the ground and wailing had broken legs.
And among these wailing war horses and the corpses of the Dzungar cavalry everywhere, those Ming soldiers with bayonets and rifles are skillfully searching, constantly nailing bayonets to the chests of the Dzungar cavalrymen who are not yet dead.
Well, they just went into a minefield.
Only one battalion of the Ming army rushed over to intercept it in the south of Baoding, and those soldiers were worried that the lack of troops would not be able to resist the onslaught of the cavalry, so they simply planted hundreds of mines on the road.
The unsuspecting Tsewang Alabutan led his subordinates with a thousand cavalry to break directly into the minefield, and then in the explosion of hundreds of mines, one piece was shattered, and at the same time the Ming soldiers who were ambushed in the foxholes on both sides immediately opened fire, and the remaining cavalry did not have time to line up before they were beaten to the back, and then they were bombarded by seven and a half pounds of artillery hidden in the dense forest not far away, and finally less than a third of the cavalry fled in the wilderness, and the Ming army immediately rushed out to clean up the battlefield after they fled.
Or rather, the wounded Dzungar cavalry was mended.
Wounded soldiers or something will not be left, if there is no injury and surrender, this is acceptable, after all, Yang Wang Ye has a bunch of mining and road construction projects that need this kind of free labor, but the injured ones have no value to him, and the investment in treating their injuries is better than buying a cheap brown slave from Nanyang, although the brown slave is more lazy, but it is just a matter of whether the whip is enough or not.
Tsewang Alabutan, whose eyes were on fire, watched as the enemy slaughtered his men as much as he could, and only then did he feel a sharp pain in his legs.
As soon as he looked down and saw that the two legs were dripping with blood, he subconsciously screamed, and a Ming soldier who was searching not far away immediately turned his head, and then quickly ran towards him.
His Majesty the Great Khan was terrified and tried to get up, he kept raising his legs and trying to kick the ground, but each time to no avail, and then he tried again and again, but he could not stand up, and the Ming soldier had already reached him, but the bayonet in his hand did not pierce it, but stood there with interest, looking at Tsewang Arabutan, who wriggled like a worm.
Both of his legs were gone.
His Majesty the Dzungar Khan did not see it, he just turned a blind eye, or his eyes saw it, but his brain refused to accept this information, how could the eagle that once galloped the steppe, the Dzungar Great Khan who once made the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains and even the Kazakhs prostrate under his feet, have no legs, and then his brain stubbornly told him that his body was still intact, so he continued to work hard and repeat in vain the action of standing up.
The more they looked, the more Ming soldiers were attracted to him, and they looked around him curiously at this wriggling insect, obviously they didn't understand, this guy's legs were obviously broken, but why didn't he seem to know?
"What do you see!"
The battalion commander, who had just severed the neck artery of a wounded Dzungar soldier with a sabre, shouted.
Then he pushed the two soldiers away, and immediately exclaimed at Tsewang Alabutan's costume, it was clear that he knew the goods.
Outside the city of Qizhou at this time.
A scuffle is nearing its end.
The more than 500 Tushetu Khan cavalry who fled here were also rejected by the green battalion in Qizhou City, and then chased by the dragoons led by Yang Wangye.
Yang Wangye waved his sword and cut the last cavalry of Tushetu Khan in front of him into two halves.
"Array!"
He raised the blood-dripping Blue Dragon Glaive and roared.
Behind him, the dragoons wielding horses and horses picked off the last enemy in front of them, and then lined up behind him as fast as they could, these dragoons had almost completely turned into blood after a series of battles, the silver armor had already been stained red with blood, although there were still more than 900 people left, but the momentum shown by these 900 people after the formation was not weaker than that of thousands of troops.
And in front of them is the closed city of Qizhou.
"I, Yang Feng, who dares to be my enemy!"
Riding a huge war horse, Yang Wangye stood on a leaping horse with a sword in one hand, pointing at the defenders on the city tower who were still undecided. (To be continued.) )
