Chapter 453: Rout

Bai Guangen's main barracks formed a circular formation, and there were many obstacles to rejecting horses outside, and his hundreds of family members were in the core position in the middle, protecting Bai Guangen and Shuai Qi tightly. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

As soon as the military formation was arranged, in the blink of an eye, the black-pressed defeated soldiers and civilians, driven by the Qing cavalry, rushed towards the army like a flood.

"Archery!"

Bai Guangen gritted his teeth and shouted.

For a moment, heaven and earth seemed to stand still!

Then a heart-rending cry rang out, and a sharp arrow was fired, knocking the routs and men down in front of the horses.

Hit by the arrows, few died on the spot, they wailed and fell to the ground, and then countless people stepped on them and trampled them alive.

Then the men were hit by arrows, screaming and rolling to the ground, followed by countless more people stepping on them......

Especially on the horses in the circle, there are more densely hung with all kinds of wounded and mutilated corpses.

They were all pushed by the people behind, and then they were shot by the sharp arrows in front of them, screaming and pushing forward step by step, so that the sharp thorns of the rejection horse pierced the body, and finally hung on the rejection horse and screamed and cried.

Blood flowed like a river all over the square inch, and in the rear, there were still a large number of defeated soldiers and civilians, crowded this side like a nest.

Although the people in front of them all saw the sharp arrows and spears in the barracks formation, they wanted to stop. However, the retreat of more than 10,000 people is not something you can stop if you want to. The person behind will naturally push his companion in front of him forward.

The Qing cavalry continued to cover up and kill, and those soldiers or civilians just howled and fled in fear, not daring to turn back to resist. They pushed the crowd forward, and although the people in front of them were frightened, they just howled: "Don't crowd, don't crowd!" ”

But who cares about the people behind? Just desperately trying to squeeze forward.

For the routed soldiers who dared to rush into battle, the Ming army in the circle formation continued to release arrows mercilessly, they knew. If the army is broken up, none of your side will survive.

Dead friends don't die poor, even if there are people you know well in the rout. In the past, they also drank and chatted together, calling each other brothers. But at this critical juncture of life and death, whether to die others or to die yourself, any soldier in the barracks. We all know the outcome of that choice.

The rout swarmed, and I don't know how many people were crowded together, and every moment, people were pushed down and trampled to death.

Arrows kept falling in front of them. The soldiers and men of the rout were either crowded to death or were shot to death by sharp arrows.

Eventually, a few of the horses were smashed away by the rout, and the crowd poured like a flood, but when they rushed to the front, they were stabbed to the ground by the dense spears sticking out of them.

The cry was earth-shattering, a huge wave. made Bai Guangen in the circle tremble. His eyes were red, his hands were clenched, and even green tendons were blooming.

The generals in the formation also showed unbearable expressions, and some people wanted to propose to open their mouths and let some of the defeated soldiers in. Then they shut their mouths again.

They know no, if they let their mouth go. The rout came in like a tidal wave, and in the blink of an eye. Their own military formations will be destroyed and congested by them, and the final result will be that thousands of soldiers in the main barracks will not survive.

Under the shooting of the main barracks, the situation of the rout attacking the circle formation was slightly slowed, but the Qing cavalry continued to slash and kill behind, and they had to flee in all directions, and many people did not know where to run. If these people are placed in the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty, there will be several more strands of horse thieves in the green forest.

Some of them saw that there was no way ahead, so they turned back wildly and fought with the Qing soldiers.

However, in the era of cold weapons, if the infantry army did not form a military formation, how could it be the opponent of the cavalry? With the strength of the Jingbian army, if the bird soldiers fight against the Qing cavalry with stragglers, it will also be a dead end.

As soon as he rode past them, he shot arrows, javelins, and swords and slew the strongest of them.

Then he rode heavily and charged head-on, knocking them to the ground, trampling them down with their horses' hooves, and slashing them to death one by one with their scimitars and spears. …,

The Qing cavalry also continued to pass through the outflanking, so that these routs could not form a systematic resistance, and the routs could not think about it at all except fleeing as if they were collapsing.

Some of the generals of the car battalion still wanted to gather the rout and reorganize the front.

However, the Qing cavalry were the best at outflanking, and they directly crossed the large rout and reached beyond the crowd that might resist.

In addition to riding and shooting, they even dismounted and fought on foot, using their strong bows and crossbows, constantly tearing open holes in these crowds. In the end, the heavy cavalry charged, so that these Ming troops were once again routed, and even more feared rout.

The Qing cavalry was in groups, constantly blocking in all directions, launching rounds of rushing and outflanking, and Bai Guangen's several car battalions were unable to gather the rout and reorganize the defensive line.

It seemed that the routs who had no way to escape were wailing loudly, and many of the wounded were lying on the ground crying, screaming for help at the friendly troops running back and forth.

"Brothers, all right, help me."

"Haha, big guy, look at it, I have worked hard for the big man for many years, and I have worked hard for the Ming Dynasty for many years, and this is the end!"

"I don't want to die, I still have a wife and children at home, who saves me, I will give him all the family wealth, I want my wife, and I will admit ......it."

"Haha, let's die, let's all die!"

Under the pursuit of the Qing cavalry, the infantry only complained about their own lives, and they were able to escape one by one. The cavalry relied on the speed of their horses, and desperately fled to the large formation of Hong Chengchou's Chinese army a few miles away, or the Yang Guozhu mountain attack team in the Loess Ridge.

In the overwhelming crying, Bai Guangen's face was pale, he suddenly looked at Wu Sangui's army not far away, and hated in his heart: "This little brute, in vain I Bai Guangen treats him as a brother and supports him everywhere, at this critical juncture, I will not send a single soldier to support me!" ”

Bai Guangen could see clearly that although there were also a large number of Qing troops besieging Wu Sangui's army formation, they were in a large formation and seemed to have a lot of spare strength.

It doesn't take much, just send two or three thousand cavalry to attack the Qing army from the flank, which can greatly relieve the pressure on your own side. But Wu Sangui just refused, holding the camp tightly, and he was unwilling to attack a single soldier.

Bai Guangen gritted his teeth and thought, "This Wu Sangui still wants to compete with Wang Dou?" I'm here, if Wang Dou is here, he will definitely support me, this little beast only cares about himself. …… Yes, I won't let him go, if I escape, I will throw myself to Wang Dou's side, and I will not let this little thief feel comfortable in the future! ”

Then, he looked anxiously at the large array of Chinese troops a few miles away in the distance. I thought to myself, "Why haven't the reinforcements come yet?" ”

It's just that Bai Guangen doesn't want to think about it, how long has he been fighting with the Qing soldiers?

The general camp of the Ming army was under the siege of the Qing cavalry. It is the norm to insist on a day and a half day, and it is the worst, and a few hours is fine.

No one would have thought that in just a few quarters of an hour. Bai Guangen's multiple car battalions and strong troops were defeated on all fronts.

If you don't say you can't believe it, it's just that you come to the rescue, and it's not a matter of a while.

Finally. On the four sides of Bai Guangen's circular array, the defeated soldiers and civilians slowly dispersed, or scattered in all directions and did not know where to flee, or under the drive of a group of Qing cavalry, they fled to the Chinese army's large array in fear, or Yang Guozhu's department attacking the mountain.

The plan of the Qing army was naturally to drive them to attack the rear army formation, which was the most unfortunate. It can also seriously damage the morale of the Ming army deployed over there!

In the end, Bai Guangen's main barracks remained. Besieged by more than 10,000 of them, roaring and running.

At this time, the Qing soldiers who attacked the siege, except for the original Eight Banners Manchurian White Flag, inlaid with white flags, positive yellow flags, and inlaid with yellow flags. There are also many knights wearing blue armor or blue armor with red edges. and many more of the Eight Banners Mongol Army.

But it was Haoge and Jierharang, who attacked Wu Sangui's army array, who led a part of the soldiers and horses to help in the battle!

looked at the embarrassed appearance of the Ming army. Hauge laughed and said, "These Nikans are just vulnerable!" ”…,

Jierharang said cautiously: "Prince Su, this is because I am a Qing Dynasty iron horseman, and I am facing Bai Guangen and others. If it was against the Shangjing border army, or even the army of Yang Guozhu and others, it was not so smooth! I hope that before their reinforcements arrive, our Qing warriors can break through Bai Guangen's military formation. ”

Haoge snorted unhappily: "Prince Zheng, you are growing the ambition of others and destroying your own prestige!" ”

However, in private, Hauge also thought that Zilharang was right, if the Ming army could fight a little, his own offensive would not be so smooth. Look at the Wu Sangui big array next to him, he is still struggling to support it, and his own iron cavalry can't take advantage of it.

He looked at the military formation on Wu Sangui's side, and said with some concern: "Wu Sangui, that little thief, won't send reinforcements, right?" ”

Zilharang shook his head: "We have fought with the Liaodong Army for many years, and their generals are not people who sacrifice their lives to save people. …… But just in case, we're still going to be optimistic over there! ”

At this time, the Qing cavalry of the first was circling around Bai Guangen's circle, and they kept shooting arrows, and these knights were mainly those Mongols who were good at riding and shooting.

In Bai Guangen's circle, dense shields were erected, and archers were constantly throwing arrows from them, desperately fighting back.

There are also Manchurian elite cavalry, in addition to archery, it is a burst of throwing javelins, throwing knives, throwing axes, iron bones and other things. In particular, their javelin and axes are wrapped with ropes, and the moment they are projected, they can destroy the shields of the Ming army.

The shields of the Ming army were constantly destroyed, and without the shields to cover them, those cold weapons were exposed to the sharp arrows of the Qing army. From time to time, soldiers screamed and fell, they were either hit by arrows, or javelins, or were hit by iron bones and other objects, and one casualty appeared one after another.

Although the archers of the Ming army fought back desperately, they had a natural advantage in riding horses and archery, and the Humen had a natural advantage. This is the reason why the Ming army wants to develop firearms vehicle battalions. In particular, there were many Qing cavalry, and soon, the war was rapid, and the situation was unfavorable to Bai Guangen.

In particular, the Qing cavalry was in groups of three or five, constantly dismounting and fighting, those heavily armoured, Bayala and other soldiers, shot sharp arrows from dozens of paces away, and the arrows they shot were accurate and ruthless, specifically shooting people in the face and eyes. Moreover, their arrows were soaked in horse dung, full of toxins, and few of them could survive if they were hit by arrows in the face.

Arrows rained down, looking at Bai Guangen's round array, it had been torn apart a lot, and the Ming soldiers in the array all let out desperate howls.

Haoge said: "Prince Zheng, it's almost over, you can let the warriors rush in formation, and let the heavy horses rush into battle!" ”

Zierharang also nodded: "Prince Su is right, we must wipe out Bai Guangen's troops before the Ming reinforcements arrive." Killing one of their general soldiers will definitely greatly damage their military morale and improve the chances of victory in the battle of Jinzhou in the Qing Dynasty. ”

The Qing soldiers dressed in double layers of heavy armor converged, they held up dense layers of spears and halberds, shining dazzling in the sun, and they shouted and rushed to kill.

In front of them were the most elite Bayala soldiers in each banner, armed with swords, shields and axes, which were specially used to deal with spears and horses and lances, and to break the formation.

There are layers of heavy riding. Holding Zhangyu's riding spear, the iron hooves rolled and rushed towards Bai Guangen's round formation.

The battle lasted only a moment. When the Qing army rushed in heavy cavalry, the Ming army spearmen, knife and stick hands, and big stick hands in the round formation. The palladium hands howled and rushed forward.

The war horses of the Qing army wailed, and they were constantly poked to the ground by the Ming army, and under the heavy cavalry, the spears and spears of the Ming army also continued to break. They were knocked away by horses' hooves and picked up by their spears. Trampled into pulp by the rolling iron horsemen.

Heavily armored Qing Cavalry, in Bai Guangen's circular formation, rushed through a few gaps, smashed into the formation, and quickly entered the division.

Those dead soldiers of the Qing army, Bayala soldiers, held swords and shields, and wore three layers of heavy armor. In addition to sophisticated firearms. It is their nemesis, they are like invincible tanks. …,

They skillfully cut down the spears in front of them, knocked over the shields of the Ming army, and their figures were staggered, and their limbs flew sideways. They instantly tore open several Ming swords, shields, and spear formations, everywhere they went. Blood splattered, brains gushing.

And behind them. The Qing army rushed with a shout of gunfire, but it was only in the blink of an eye. Bai Guangen's circle array blew up the ranks, and countless people threw off their armor and fled in all directions.

In order to escape quickly, they tore each other apart for horses, regardless of whether they were cavalry or not.

Bai Guangen looked at it blankly, looked up to the sky and sighed: "God will kill me!" ”

"Hurry up!"

The confidant's personal general, anxiously pulled the reins for Bai Guangen, and there were many family members, nervously hugging Bai Guangen, just persuading the coach to leave quickly.

Seeing the enemy soldiers swarming on all sides, there were constantly people who broke through the siege covered in blood, fighting with the Qing army tragically, and then fell.

At this time, thousands of people in the barracks fled in all directions, and they couldn't care about their commander, only a few hundred families remained, and they were still faithfully protecting Bai Guangen.

Bai Guangen was angry, and thought to himself: "At the critical moment, you have to rely on your own family!" ”

He didn't think much about it, jumped on his horse, and under the escort of the pro-army family, he desperately went out to kill.

The Qing cavalry on all sides seemed to be all over the mountains, but Bai Guangen wanted to break a bloody road and then flee to Hong Chengchou's Chinese army array.

At this time, Bai Guangen's Jizhen soldiers were all routed, and he deployed nearly 15,000 people, the main barracks, and several car battalions, some of which were scattered first. Even the more than 10,000 people, it seems that the whole world is their crying and wailing.

……

Wu Sangui looked at the fleeing Ji Zhen Army with a pale face, this battle happened right under his nose, from the battle to the rout, the battle over there was so short and cruel.

The sound formed by Siye's crying was so thrilling that Wu Sangui's brain seemed to explode, and his whole body trembled involuntarily.

His eyes were blood-red, and thick green tendons bloomed on his head, and he inhaled deeply, thinking, "Can't mess up, can't mess up!" ”

Looking at their own military formation, it seemed that they were affected by the defeat of the Jizhen army, and many sergeants showed panic in their eyes.

He was shocked in his heart, at this time the Tartars were outside, and the siege was very urgent, if the army's heart was in chaos, it would be the fate of the second Bai Guangen.

However, although he was young and the city was quite deep, the expression on his face remained unchanged, but he rode out on his horse and shouted: "The soldiers have seen it, if they don't stick to their positions, it will be the fate of the Jizhen army over there." I, Wu Sangui, promise you that I will never leave a brother, even if I break off, I will be the last one to go. But please also hold on, brothers, reinforcements will arrive soon, Inspector Hong, you won't forget us! ”

Wu Sangui is kind on weekdays, without the slightest arrogance behind a famous family, even to ordinary sergeants, he is also very kind, so he is very popular with the military.

At this time, after listening to Wu Sangui's heart-warming words, all the generals shouted and roared: "Follow Wu Dashuai and fight to the end!" ”

"Whoever wants to escape is raised by animals!"

"Long live Ning Yuanjun!"

Seeing that the soldiers in the military array were stable, Wu Sangui was slightly relieved, and glanced at Zu Dale beside him.

He said in a low voice: "Uncle, you led some family members to patrol back and forth, and some of them were cowardly and fearful, and they were immediately beheaded!" ”

Zu Dale was very satisfied with the performance of the talented Wu Sangui, and also said in a low voice: "Gui'er, don't worry, with your uncle here, who dares to mess with the army's heart and be timid, I will be the first to spare him!" ”

Wu Sangui nodded slightly, looked back at Hong Chengchou's Chinese army array, and thought, "Reinforcements are coming!" (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to (.) to vote for recommendation, monthly pass, your support is my biggest motivation. )
