Chapter 333: A Tragic Day

Under Dolgon's watchful eye, several cavalry quickly galloped up the official road. While waving the order flag, he loudly conveyed Dorgon's latest general order to the soldiers on the official road.

Today is destined to be the most tragic day of Dorgon's life.

Early in the morning, he was forced by his subordinates to attack the county seat of Dingbian. Then, in the battle to attack the county town of Dingbian, he paid unprecedented heavy losses. That's not all, on the retreat that didn't seem to be in any danger, he was ambushed by the Tiger and Leopard Army, and once again paid heavy losses, and the losses were all his most confidant Houjin Tieqi......

Such a terrible tragedy is obviously not over for Dolgon.

The cavalry, less than two thousand men, had just turned around and gone less than a hundred paces before stopping again.

At the same time, dozens of cavalry galloping wildly on side horses also quickly rushed towards their positions.

Facing the Mongolian cavalry general with a panicked face in front of him, a trace of bad premonition quickly surged into Dolgon's mind, making Dolgon's face instantly become gloomy.

Sure enough, before Dolgon could speak, a Mongol general who jumped off his horse said with a frightened expression on his face: "Lord Belle, you can't go back, the other two mountain roads to evacuate Dingbian County have been blocked by the Tiger and Leopard Army......

"The minions can be sure that the Haw Par Army blocking these two mountain roads is at least thousands of people, and they are also equipped with dozens of artillery pieces that can fire flowering shells......

"Just now, more than 1,000 Mongolian warriors under the command of the minions, without even seeing the shadow of the Tiger and Leopard Army, were killed and injured by several flowering shells fired by the Tiger and Leopard Army......

A gloomy Dolgon. While still digesting the shocking news in my mind. Another Mongol general. With a face full of grief and indignation. He then said.

"Lord Belle, the mountain road that the minions took was also blocked by the tiger and leopard army of thousands of people...... The more than 1,000 warriors commanded by the minions were also bombed by the Tiger and Par Army in the contact just now, and four or five hundred people were killed......"

At this time, Dolgon had only one thought, that is, he was forced to a dead end by the Haw Par Army, and he might even be trapped here by the Haw Par Army.

Under the gaze of a group of Mongol generals, Dolgon looked desperate. Directly on the spot, deep in thought.

And at this existential crisis, Dolgon was the hope of these Mongol generals.

While everyone waited for Dolgon's decision, the longer Dolgon dragged on, the lower the morale of these Mongol generals, including the thousands of soldiers who were still reeling from their hearts.

In order to allow these Mongol soldiers to continue to serve Dolgon, the military advisor who knew the truth well escorted Dolgon out of northern Shaanxi and back to Mongolia. I had to remind.

"Lord Belle. The Haw Par Corps on both mountain roads were armed with a large number of artillery pieces. It doesn't matter how many people there are in the Haw Par Army defending these two mountain roads. As long as they have enough flowering bombs, they can block us outside Dingbian City. ”

"But the Haw Par Army, which stands in the way of the official road, is different. At least so far. The minions haven't seen the artillery yet......"

"In such a comparison, the slave thinks that if we want not to be blocked outside Dingbian City, we can only break through from the official road......"

Seeing that there was finally a slight change in Dolgon's contemplative face, the military advisor continued to speak, adding, "In addition to the comparison just now, there is another reason for the minion here. ”

"The terrain of the two mountain roads is very unfavorable for us, and the speed advantage of the cavalry is almost impossible to bring into play."

"However, the flat official road is different......

"Even if there are Haw Par Army blocking the road in front, we can take advantage of the speed advantage of the cavalry to break through the position of the Haw Par Army......"

The adjutant general, who also saw the crisis of the form, quickly shot out two fine lights with a pair of eyes, and said to Dolgon: "Lord Belle, the slave also agrees with the idea of the military advisor......

"As things stand, we are surrounded by the Haw Par Army. Only by breaking through from the official road can we continue to live. Otherwise, there is only one ending: being wiped out by the Tiger and Leopard Army outside Dingbian City. ”

The words of the two hearts were like a thunderclap, directly waking up the contemplative Dolgon.

After taking a deep breath, he forcibly suppressed the despair and panic in his heart, and showed a calm and confident expression in front of a group of Mongolian generals. Then, he affirmed to everyone.

"Ben Baylor decided to do it according to the construction of the military division....break through from the official road..."

"Ben Belle ordered all the men to mount their horses and break through to our secret camp by means of a hasty march......"

Rabbits will bite when they are in a hurry, not to mention these battle-hardened Mongolian cavalry.

As Dorgon and the others took the lead in climbing onto their horses and raising their sabers. The thousands of Mongols who followed him, as if suddenly injected with a stimulant, raised their sabers at the same time, and let out a roar that was almost dying.

"Kill ......"

As soon as the shouts of "boom ......" sounded, the sound of horses' hooves followed by it was muffled.

Subsequently, the mighty 5,000 cavalry, like a torrent, quickly galloped away from the direction of Dingbian County along the official road.

Dolgon's military advisor was wrong, the Tiger and Par Army in front of him was indeed not equipped with mortars.

However, the huge number of flowering bombs has given the Tiger and Par Army too many of their methods, especially on the northern Shaanxi Plateau, which is crisscrossed by ravines.

The five thousand cavalry commanded by Dolgon had just rushed forward less than a mile when a very familiar explosion reached Dolgon's ears again.

The Haw Par army used the same tactics to destroy 4,000 Mongol cavalry on the official road again. And what the Haw Par Army paid was only more than 400 cumbersome flowering bombs.

In the face of the blow, in the face of the corpses lying on the pipes. Dolgon, who had already decided that he could only survive by breaking through the official road, directly ignored these corpses.

Kicking the war horse under the crotch with both feet, stepping on the corpse of the Mongolian cavalry on the ground, and continuing to break through.

At this time, the more than 400 tiger and leopard troops under the command of He Guozhong obviously did not intend to give them a chance to continue to break through.

A four-foot-high breastwork, made entirely of sandbags, suddenly stood in the way of Dolgon.

More than 400 tiger and leopard musketeers, in a three-stage firing formation, stood neatly behind the breastwork, flintlock muskets in their hands, quietly waiting for the arrival of the Mongol cavalry.

Seeing this, he quickly tightened the reins and let Dolgon, who had stopped his horse, know that the time had come for the survival of himself and the thousands of cavalry behind him.

If you get past this hurdle, you might be able to survive.

If you can't break through this level, you will be blocked here by the Haw Par Army, and you will be surrounded and annihilated by the Haw Par Army. (To be continued......)
