Chapter 120: Directly smashing the Chinese army
The Qing army's Chinese army was guarded by at least 3,000 people, but most of them were crossing the Zhanghe River, and Zhu Ping'an's troops took advantage of the Qing army's half-crossing to kill them by surprise. Although the Qing soldiers were brave, the march of the army was afraid of the word "chaos", plus Zhu Ping'an and others were as fast as the wind, and they arrived in front of them in the blink of an eye.
Zhu Ping'an's 1,000 people were like a red-hot sharp knife, like cutting through a piece of tofu, and instantly penetrated the camp of the Qing army, and the blockers were invincible, like a bamboo.
In the more than 20 years of fighting with the Ming army, the Qing army has always maintained contempt and disdain for the fighting power of the Ming army because of its almost 100 percent victory rate. But since going deep into Hebei, especially after the series of bloody battles under Julu City, this subtle affection and sense of superiority have been subverted in an instant.
The helpless but cruel and abnormal battle of the fortification, the indestructible firearms, and the will to fight to the death all made the Qing soldiers and generals dumbfounded, and they almost did not believe that the old opponent in front of them was as weak as a cow and sheep.
Take the cavalry team in front of you as an example, the superb riding skills are no longer under the elite of the Eight Banners, and the accurate archery skills and ferocious charging and killing have made the Qing army suffer heavy casualties at the same time, and the psychology has to be covered with a layer of despair.
When it was only two hundred paces away from Dolgon's main formation, a large banner was suddenly erected in the cavalry team - "Da Ming Zhongdu Left Behind to Command Zhu Shizhu". This made many Qing soldiers who still recognized a few Chinese characters suddenly wail. In a series of bloody battles in the camp south of the city, the untold losses suffered by the Qing army were all brought by the owner of this banner.
"Zhu Ping'an is not dead?" Dolgon's head was dizzy, "Who is the head that Bolo offered?" ”
Abatai next to him was a blood-infused pupil. As soon as he heard that Zhu Ping'an was not dead, he led hundreds of his guards to kill him. Yue Le also wanted to follow, but was stopped by Dolgon's loud shout, "Yue Le, you will stay by the king's side!" ”
At this time, a voice suddenly came from the Ming army's array, but it was shouted in the language of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and the voice was high-pitched. Spread all over the four fields, "Where is Abatai the Tartar?" General Zhu wants to take your head! ”
Abatai let out a long roar, and slapped his horse to take a member of the ironclad generals led by the Ming army.
Dorgon looked from afar, but saw the man with a thick beard on his face. Roughly speaking, he is really a mighty general, but the expression he looks at Abatai is gritting his teeth.
At the same time as Abatai met the Ming general, a group of Ming cavalry suddenly rushed up from the oblique stab, aiming directly at Dorgon's main formation.
Duoduo, Qi Chongge, Ning Wan and the others were shocked, but they didn't expect that there was a stream of Ming troops silently rushing over in the crowd, so it seems that the long shout just now was to attract the attention of many Qing troops. So as to take the opportunity to attack and kill the Qing army's chief general, Dolgon.
Although Dolgon's own guards reacted quickly enough, they had not yet formed a formation, and there was a storm of arrows on the opposite side. There were also crossbow arrows, and dozens of guards suddenly rolled off their horses.
Duoduo saw that the momentum was not good, and now the generals of the Eight Banners under his command were all fighting hard with Lu Xiangsheng and Gao Qiqian's troops under Julu City, and there was no one around him, so he could only take people forward to stop him regardless of his injuries.
Seeing that the Ming army was led by a young general. Duoduo breathed a sigh of relief, looking at the young man's age. is only two or three years older than Yue Le, and it is clear that she is a doll whose hair has not yet grown. Although Duoduo is injured, he is in the prime of life, such a young man is naturally not a problem, as long as he is finished, the Ming army that follows him will naturally be in turmoil, and Dorgon's danger will be solved.
Duoduo confidently rounded the big knife in his hand and slashed it down, almost certain that a single knife in his mind could slash the young general in front of him off the horse.
But he didn't think about it, the young man just flicked the iron spear in his hand outward, and Duoduo immediately felt a strong force coming from the blade of the knife, and with a crisp sound of "dangchang", the big knife in his hand almost flew out of his hand, and the wound on his shoulder suddenly cracked.
Before Duoduo could come to his senses, one of the young man's hands had already let go of the iron spear, and he took out a short spear from behind his back, and with a "pounce", it had already pierced deeply into Duoduo's shoulder blades.
Duoduo screamed in pain, his body flew up out of thin air, and he fell heavily to the ground, but fortunately, his brain was not confused, and after he landed, he rolled on the spot, which was able to avoid the trampling of the cavalry behind.
The guards hurriedly blocked the Ming cavalry, and some of them rolled into the saddle and dismounted, which rescued Duoduo.
When Dorgon was stabbed off his horse, Dorgon's heart sank until he saw his guards rescue him, and he breathed a sigh of relief, but in the blink of an eye, Abatai let out a scream.
Turning his head, he saw that the tall Ming army general had already cut off Abatai's head and held it high in his hand. Dolgon was struck in the chest and fell off his horse.
"Amma!" Yue Le screamed heartbreakingly, picked up the weapon in his hand and was about to step forward, but Dolgon's hand was quick and grabbed the reins of his horse.
Because of Duoduo's obstruction, at this time, all the units of the Chinese army had surrounded and firmly protected Dolgon and others, and Qi Chongge was just about to order to slowly cross the river and retreat eastward.
Zhu Ping'an had already led three hundred Fengyang cavalry into the formation, and Qiu Ze and Zhang Dagou and others dispersed the Qing army on the periphery, and they had been outflanked from both wings.
Yue Lele stared at the figures of Zhu Ping'an and Zhang Dagou deadly, and a bitter hatred appeared on his immature face. Dolgon also looked at Zhu Ping'an without blinking, seeing that this person's age was about the same as Yue Le next to him, but he was already a fierce general in the Ming army, and he knew very well the bravery of his younger brother Duoduo, although he was injured, ordinary generals may not be his opponents, but this person was a tough stabbing Duoduo and fell off the horse, and his bravery can be seen.
At this time, the main force of the Qing army had already fought and retreated to the Zhanghe River. The soldiers rode across the river, while the Guanning army of Xuanda Lu Xiangsheng and Wu Sangui pursued in the rear, seeing a large puff of smoke and dust rising in the distance. It should be that Gao Qiqian's main force has also been killed, and the balance of victory has completely tilted to the side of the Ming army.
On the other side of the Zhanghe River, Yao Dongzhao's people's army had also been killed, but it was a little beyond his power to stop the retreat of the Qing army, so he only attacked and harassed on the flank, killing and wounding the Qing army's soldiers to the greatest extent and snatching military funds. Therefore, the Qing army was also able to maintain a certain formation and retreat slowly.
When Zhu Ping'an rushed into the main formation of the Qing army, he aimed at the commander of the Qing army. He knew very well that once again, Dolgon must be around here, but there were Qing soldiers everywhere in front of him. It's not easy to find Dolgon.
So, Zhu Ping'an shouted to Zhang Dagou, who was advancing wildly not far away: "Big dog, throw Abatai's head to me!" ”
When Zhang Dagou heard this, he casually ripped off Abatai's head tied to the saddle and threw it high, Zhu Ping'an leaned over and grabbed the braid on the back of Abatai's head.
Zhu Ping'an raised the bloodied head in his hand high, pointed Abatai's face in the direction of Dolgon's Chinese army, and explained to Qiu Ze and shouted: "Dolgon." The head of your seventh brother Abatai is here, can you bear to let him die without a whole body and bury his body in a foreign land? ”
Sure enough, this statement came out. There was a commotion in the Qing army, and when the figure swayed, a general dressed in white clothes and white armor faintly appeared. Then a voice shouted in Chinese: "Is it General Zhu Ping'an on the other side?" ”
"Not bad!" At the same time as Zhu Ping'an answered, the blind man who was already guarding behind him quietly made a gesture.
"General Zhu is talented, Xiao Wang has already understood, Daming is a state of etiquette. How could you do such a thing that is inferior to a beast, and ask the general to return the body of my seventh brother. Xiao Wang is grateful, and there will be a lot of thanks! ”
"Xie Nima!" Zhu Ping'an snorted, and suddenly he was confused, and the blind man behind him who had already stretched his bow and arrows immediately appeared, and as soon as he loosened the bowstring, a feather arrow pounced on Dolgon with the momentum of a meteor catching the moon.
The blind man's arrows passed through a Qing soldier and hit a person behind him, but the blind man fired three arrows in succession, and the next two came one after another, both of which took advantage of the gap in the crowd to take Dolgon.
Dorgon was so frightened that he pulled the reins with all his might, and the horses neighed out, their front hooves raised high, and an arrow struck the horse's neck. The horses were in pain and threw Dolgon out.
The other met the brow of the flag-bearer behind Dorgon, and he stared at the wobbling arrow with wide eyes, and slowly fell backwards, and with it, the flagpole fell in two.
Qi Chongge, Yue Le, Ning Wan, and some of the Qing generals who came later were taken aback, and hurriedly rolled the saddle and dismounted, and picked up Dolgon, no matter how painful he was at this time, without saying a word, he first put it on a war horse, beat the horse and whip it out of danger.
And the fall of the commander Daxu made all the Qing troops on the battlefield panic immediately, and without the Chinese army Daxu, it means that the commander was attacked, and the enemy army was likely to rush directly to the Chinese army, destroying the entire command center. Such a reaction also brought a catastrophe to all the Qing troops, and the various departments no longer had the intention of fighting, and the remaining Mongolian cavalry led by Temur of the Mongolian Horqin Department was too late to join the Eight Banners, and retreated directly to the north by themselves, and the Han army banner of the left wing army was surrounded by Wu Sangui's Guanning army. Only the troops of the Eight Banners still crossed the Zhanghe River in spite of the previous orders of Dolgon, and retreated rapidly to the northeast line of Nangong and Qinghe.
The Qing army withdrew along the road, and the Ming army covered up and killed in the rear, but the effect was indeed greatly reduced. When the Qing army retreated, the gold and silver goods, cloth and satin, livestock, cattle and sheep, and heavy ordnance that had been plundered all the way were discarded all the way. The Ming Army's Xuanda Department was better, but the military discipline of the Shaanxi Army, the Jin Army, and the Guanning Army was much more corrupt, and they no longer cared about pursuing the enemy, but threw away the weapons in their hands and frantically stuffed all kinds of booty into bags and backpacks.
More than 1,000 cavalry under Zhu Ping'an bit the Qing army's foot soldiers, chased across the Zhanghe River, and went north for more than 100 miles, only to be stopped by a messenger sent by the Ming army, and the messenger panted and reported: "The right wing of the Qing army's Yue Tuo Department has appeared in the old city and the line of Wucheng, and Lu Inspector has ordered that it should not be pursued again!"
