Chapter 113: Collapse and retreat
There are unforeseen circumstances in the sky, and people have good fortune and misfortune, this is really true, Ren Mingjin and both sides did not expect that this God seemed to be joking with Mingjin and Jin, and in a short period of time, the wind direction was reversed.
The direction of the wind became too sudden and too surprising, so that the Ming army, which was bravely pursuing the Jin army, was caught head-on by the fire that had been coming from the past, and they were caught off guard and panicked.
Many Ming soldiers had their hair and eyebrows burned, and their bodies smelled burned, and the soldiers who chased the most fiercely even burned their cheeks, and some even burned their eyes.
The Ming army, which had lost the help of the fire, was like a river suddenly frozen, the battlefield was frozen in an instant, and everyone's faces showed incredible and frightened eyes.
Jin Jun didn't expect the gale to turn suddenly, and Jin Jun, who was behind the most sluggish, ran forward a hundred and ten steps with a sullen head, only to find that all the people in front of him had stopped, looking behind them strangely, and then looking back, his mouth suddenly couldn't close.
"God, why don't you open your eyes"
In the thick smoke, the general Yang Dahua choked his wrist for a long time, when he was in the river, he was hit by an arrow in the left leg of the Jin army, and the arrow wound was quite large.
Zuo Liangyu, who was the first to find the fire and took advantage of the situation to counterattack the Jin army, led his troops to cross the river in one fell swoop, and then chased after the Jin army's buttocks, was also dumbfounded, but he was stunned for a few seconds before reacting, and when the friendly troops were still stunned, he resolutely led his troops to run wildly towards the Xiaoling River behind him.
It was really fierce, and it was also fierce to escape, and the swarm of bees with horses and horses all ran towards the back, and the movements were so fast that the neighbors and horses did not know what was going on, and they had run out of the distance.
Zuo Liangyu is a white horse, is the imperial history of the Hou Xiang gift, it is said that the Mongolian Lin Dan Khan gave to the Chongzhen Emperor, the result of the Chongzhen Emperor did not ride, the harem will have this horse has been raised in the imperial horse prison, I don't know what way Hou Sui took the imperial horse supervisor Cao Huachun, actually got this royal horse out, and then Hou Sui served as the governor of Changping when he was a "hero" like a gift to the guerrilla Zuo Liangyu, praised him as the Ming Dynasty white horse Zhao Zilong, "beautiful jade to give beauty, BMW to hero", this is also a good story.
Zuo Liangyu rode this white horse, and the magic shot is unparalleled, when he pursued the Jin army before, he was no less than Changshan Zhao Zilong back then, this will escape, riding on this white horse, it is also an indescribable heroic style. But seeing the flow of people, his white horse was particularly conspicuous, very eye-catching, and Shi Dayong behind him was also attracted by Zuo Liangyu on the white horse.
As soon as the left part ran, the Ming soldiers of the Chinese army suddenly came to their senses and subconsciously retreated. Seeing this, Zhang Hongmo and Zhang Jifu knew that they could not do anything, and without the help of the fire, they could not break through the Daling River at all, so they had no choice but to shout that the Ming army would retreat quickly, and quickly retreat across the Xiaoling River while the Jin army had not come to their senses, if they were lucky, they could organize a defensive line before the Jin army's counterattack, otherwise, the army would really be finished now, and God would not be able to change the direction of the wind three times in a row
"No withdrawal, no withdrawal"
Zhang Chun saw that his subordinates were retreating one after another, so anxious that he stopped drinking on the chariot again and again, and did not drink a few words, but his body was tight, and he was carried by Dong Kaiguo on his shoulder, and said "The boss can't help it", and he ran back after carrying him.
Wu Xiang was not the first to run this time, just before he drove the Jin army to kill happily, seeing that the siege of the Daling River could be solved, he could see his brother-in-law, this day's great merit was in hand, but he didn't think that people were not as good as the sky, and the direction of the wind had changed
I was so frightened that I watched the monstrous fire slowly turn into small fires, and the burned place was blown black and gray by the strong wind, but I didn't know what to do now.
There are a lot of Mongols in the cavalry on both sides of the Ming and Jin, and the Mongolian Niulu in the Jin army has reached half, and there are many in the Ming army.
The commander of these Mongolian cavalry is the deputy general Sang Er Zhai, these Mongols are not strong in battle, and they were able to follow Wu Xiang's counterattack just now, all because they saw that the Jin army was forced to retreat by the fire, and they all won the battle, which boosted their morale. Seeing the sharp change in the direction of the wind, the Mongolian soldiers were about to bomb the camp immediately, Alsan had the idea of retreating, and hurriedly rode his horse to Wu Xiang's side, and hurriedly said: "Lord Commander, the fire is going to stop, let's go quickly"
"Let's go?..." Wu Xiang looked dazed, he had already run once, could he not run again?
Liu Zeqing, the deputy general over there, saw that the Chinese army suddenly ran back, and he couldn't see clearly in the smoke, so he said that the Jin army had already launched a counteroffensive by taking advantage of the change in the direction of the wind, and the Chinese army had broken through, so he panicked, and did not wait for Wu Xiang's order to lead the people to run first. As soon as he ran, those cavalry also ran up, and Wu Xiang also came to his senses at this time, without saying a word, turned his horse's head, raised his whip and ran.
As soon as Wu Xiangbu ran, Song Wei, who had only more than 100 people left, was unable to support himself, and saw that the Chinese army and the left wing had all retreated, and he knew that the road could not be stopped, so he had no choice but to lead people to Jinzhou.
At this time, there were nearly 20,000 Ming troops who crossed the north bank, but most of them saw the fire, and the Jin army was defeated and turned back. There was no need for the general to give an order, and they all turned around and ran away together. For a while, the black ash ground burned by the fire was full of Ming troops fleeing south, just like the Jin army that fled north in a hurry before, panicking for fear of being caught up by the enemy soldiers behind them.
"Let go of this official, let go of this official"
"Let the official die, let the official die"
Zhang Chun, who was carried on Dong Kaiguo's shoulder, could not accept another defeat, the Da Ling River was close at hand, but he couldn't go further, he was depressed in his chest, and a mouthful of bloody phlegm spit on Dong Kaiguo's body, and his hands slapped Dong Kaiguo's body desperately.
But no matter how he slapped him, Dong Kaiguo didn't squeak, and led his subordinates to desperately protect Zhang Chun's escape from the south in this chaotic army.
The 20,000 Ming army, which was previously full of morale and the power of a great victory, collapsed in an instant, but the unique car battalion soldiers did not run away, but formed a car formation under the command of the deputy general Wang Zhiku and slowly retreated backwards.
