However, just as the five hundred Tartar cavalry raised their sabers in the air, ready to charge forward again. The sound of gold suddenly sounded on the hill behind them, and quickly reached their ears.

In the face of the successive attack methods of the Haw Par Army, in the face of the subordinates who suffered heavy losses. Dorgon, who was at the rear of the battlefield watching the battle and was confident in his subordinates, was directly stunned......

Because the speed of the cavalry charge was too fast, in the blink of an eye, it was mixed up with the cavalry of the Tiger and Leopard Army at the foot of the mountain. When Dolgon, who was shocked, reacted, there were only 500 elite cavalry under his command, and there were only 500 people left.

At this time, if he did not order his subordinates to retreat, Dolgon could be sure that even if these 500 subordinates were completely destroyed, they would bring losses to the Haw Par Army by a thousand at most.

And this is definitely not acceptable to Dorgon.

Because, with the loss of these 500 cavalry elites, he will no longer have cavalry to rely on in Shanxi. No matter how arrogant and arrogant Dolgon was, he could not guarantee a safe retreat to Mongolia with 5,000 musketeers without the cover of cavalry.

Therefore, Dolgon must ensure the safety of his last cavalry in Shanxi.

The sound of gold sounded, and in the face of the choice of life and death, the Tartar cavalry chose to continue to live without hesitation, no matter how brave they were. Therefore, before the order of the adjutant general Wu Muqi was given, the five hundred Tatar cavalry had already turned their horses and retreated towards the hill, wanting to stay away from the tiger and leopard cavalry in front of them, which had brought wounds to them again and again.

As soon as the sound of gold from behind the tartar sounded, an exclamation came out of Zhao Yu's mouth.

"It's not good, the Tartar cavalry is going to run ......"

After the exclamation. Zhao Yun directly opened his mouth and ordered: "Immediately send orders to all cavalry regiments." Immediately pursue the Tartar cavalry. Wipe them out completely...... We must exterminate them all in Shanxi, and we must not let them escape back to Outer Mongolia. ”

Five hundred Tartar cavalry escorted Dolgon all the way, retreating in the direction of Zuoyun regardless of a single qiē. The remaining three thousand cavalry under Zhao Yun's command followed closely behind in pursuit...

At this time, the combat quality of the two cavalry of the enemy and us, at this time, completely showed Xiàn.

Five hundred Tartar cavalry were on the run, but. With his superb riding skills, although the five hundred Tartars rode their horses on the official road, the mighty cavalry formation did not change in the slightest.

Not only that, but these arrogant Tartar cavalry actually used their feet and legs to control the war horses directly in the process of galloping their horses. Then, he picked up the bow that had been on the back of the horse, bent the bow and set the arrow, and shot a cold arrow at the pursuing tiger and leopard army behind him from time to time. Hinder the pursuit of the Haw Par cavalry.

On the other hand, the Haw Par Army that pursued behind them, although they had completed several months of basic cavalry training. It is possible to ride horses on the battlefield. However, with their skills, they are not able to control the war horse with both legs, or even control the war horse with one hand.

And this also means that the tiger and leopard army that pursues behind the Tartars can only ride on their horses to passively pursue.

As for the short-barreled muskets, grenades that they were armed with ... Because they have no extra hands to control them, they can only hang idle on horseback. Pursue the Tartar while dodging the arrows that the Tartar shoots sideways at you.

However, no matter how they dodged, the Tartars' mounted shots were not covered......

The mighty cavalry of the Tiger and Leopard Army had just rushed forward for two miles, and under the counterattack of several rounds of cavalry fire from the Tartars, they lost hundreds of men one after another.

Faced with this result, Luo Jingshan, who followed the troops in pursuit, did not know: when he pursued to Zuoyun City, the superb cavalry of the Tartars would bring many casualties to the pursuing troops under his command.

Under such circumstances, in order to avoid unnecessary losses, Luo Jingshan decisively ordered his subordinates to open the pursuit distance to ensure that the arrows shot by the Tartars could no longer kill and injure the pursuing troops under his command...

In this way, the two cavalry units of the enemy and us, maintaining a distance of sixty paces, rushed towards Zuoyun City.

At this time, the battle that took place in Zuoyun City had completely ended.

The 5,000 Tartar musketeers, in addition to the more than 2,000 killed in the battle, the hundreds of people who were scattered on the battlefield, and the 1,800 Han musketeers, became prisoners of the Tiger and Leopard Army.

Facing the city wall that had been blown up in front of him, Zhou Yuhong knew that it was impossible to restore the city wall.

Because, the Tartar cavalry will not leave him much time to prepare.

Coupled with the fact that they also did not have time to build a trench outside the ruins to block the cavalry attack, the Tartar cavalry could take advantage of their speed advantage and charge directly outside the gap in the city wall and kill and injure their own men with cavalry shots. Zhou Yuhong knew that if the Tartar cavalry had the idea of recapturing Zuoyun City, they would be greeted by a very tragic battle

However, in order to block these Tartar cavalry in Shanxi, Zhou Yuhong, who did not know that the five thousand Tartars were about to be lost, had to take a deep breath and ordered with a stern face.

"Commander Wang, the musketeers you commanded are the first to come into contact with muskets among our five thousand people, the veterans who have been trained for the longest time, and have experienced many bloody battles, so the most difficult position to defend will be defended by you without accident... However, in order to increase our defense, I will give you all the dozens of Franc machines that we have in our hands..."

Although I know that defending the gap in the wall must be a bloody battle. However, in the face of Zhou Yuhong's trusting gaze, Wang Bo still did not hesitate to receive the order: "Please rest assured, the general will guarantee to hold the gap in the city wall, and never let the Tartars rush into Zuoyun City..."

Zhou Yuhong nodded, and continued to order: "The other two musket regiments, defend the city walls on both sides of the gap....Once the Tartar cavalry launches an assault on the gap in the city wall, the two musket regiments must concentrate all their firepower to kill and wound as many Tartar attacking troops as possible, block the Tartar offensive, and hold Zuoyun City、......"

"Obey the ......"

Thousands of musketeers, like hunters waiting for their prey, stared at a pair of bloodthirsty eyes, waiting for the arrival of the Tartar cavalry. The deafening sound of horses' hooves finally reached everyone's ears through the ground.

Zhou Yuhong was condescending, and with the help of a telescope, he immediately saw the Tartar cavalry getting closer and closer to him at the end of the official road.

As the Tartar cavalry got closer and closer, a trace of doubt appeared on Zhou Yuhong's face.

"What's the matter, how come there are only a few hundred people left in the Tartar cavalry......"

While Zhou Yuhong was puzzled, Dolgon, who was surrounded by a group of subordinates, also saw the wall of Zuoyun City, which had been blown out of a huge gap.

Although he didn't know what had happened in Zuo Yuncheng within a few hours of leaving Zuo Yun City.

However, a gap in the city wall that was dozens of zhang wide directly told Sù Dolgon with the facts that something must have happened to Zuoyun City in front of him, and it had changed hands.

Because, on the wall of Zuoyun City, I didn't see a banner representing the Houjin army.

Dolgon discovered the strangeness of Zuoyun City, and the deputy general Wu Muqi beside Dolgon also discovered the difference between Zuoyun City in front of him. Not only that, after a long time on the battlefield, he felt a strong killing intent directly in Zuoyun City in front of him.

Facing Zuo Yuncheng, who was getting closer and closer to him, and facing the cavalry of the Tiger and Leopard Army who could not get rid of him all the time. Adjutant General Wu Muqi asked directly with an anxious face: "Lord Belle, the five thousand musketeers defending Zuoyun City must have encountered something....The Zuoyun City in front of us must be reoccupied by the Tiger and Leopard Army, no matter what, we can't hit the muzzle of the Tiger and Leopard Army again......"

Dolgon's brows furrowed, and he said with a face full of surprise: "If nothing happens, we must have fallen for the Tiger and Leopard Army's plan to divert the tiger from the mountain....use cavalry to transfer us away from Zuoyun City, so that the latter can take the opportunity to recapture Zuoyun City from the hands of the five thousand musketeers under our command, and poison us to death in Shanxi......"

"I really didn't expect that Wei Zheng, the commander-in-chief of the Tiger and Leopard Army, not only knows how to train troops, but also has such a high strategy, he can break my Dolgon's strategy so easily, and he also eats the 10,000 steps that my Dolgon has worked so hard to train at one time....It's really unexpected..."

At this, a long sigh full of helplessness came from Dolgon's mouth.

Under the expectant gaze of the adjutant general Wu Muqi, he replied: "In the current Zuoyun City, there must be countless muskets and artillery aimed at us... As soon as we rush into the range of these firearms, what awaits us is an unprecedented storm of death. ”

"So, as you just said, this Zuoyun City, we have no way to get in..."

Speaking of this, Dolgon's words suddenly changed, and he continued to say with a gloomy face: "Not only that, but we may not even be able to go back to Mongolia and Houjin in a short period of time..."

"Zuoyun has been reoccupied by the Haw Par Army, and our passage back to Mongolia from Zuoyun has been cut off... If you want to return to Mongolia, you have to think of other ways, and Zuo Yun's path will definitely not work..."

Hearing this meaningless answer, the expectation on the face of the deputy general Wu Muqi was replaced by solemnity. At this moment, he didn't care about the identity of Lord Belle of Dolgon next to him, and continued to ask questions in order to survive.

"Lord Belle, how to return to Mongolia and Houjin is still a matter for the future....The slave thinks that when we are delayed, how to get rid of the pursuit of the cavalry of the Tiger and Leopard Army behind us, find a safe place to hide for the time being, and then find a way to return to Houjin."

Facing the cavalry of the Tiger and Leopard Army who were closely following behind him, he saw his subordinates around him who were already slightly tired, and all of them showed panic and despair. The gloomy expression on Dorgon's face was replaced by despair.

However, as the most famous king of the Qing Dynasty in history, Dorgon will definitely not be defeated so easily. (To be continued......)
