Chapter 109: Defeated
The cannibalism combined with the rain of guns, the limited strength of the Tartars and infantry to follow the service, directly decreased sharply at a rate visible to the naked eye.
By the time the last trench was placed in front of the Tartars, their total strength had been reduced to less than five hundred.
Facing the new round of cannibalism that began by the Tartars in the trench, Zhao Yun, who had been following behind him unhurriedly, quickly flashed a strange killing intent on his face. After throwing the last throwing gun in his hand, he shouted loudly.
"Brothers, the Tartars are coming to an end, rush forward and kill them all......"
"Kill ......" can finally kill the Tartars, Zhao Yun's order is even more powerful than doping, instantly arousing the fanaticism and murderous aura in the hearts of several white soldiers. Hundreds of people let out a loud roar at the same time, raising their broadswords, like hungry wolves that have spotted their prey, and pounced on the enemy who was killing each other in the trench.
Tartar Fourteen Belle Dorgon, in the face of sudden changes on the battlefield, can be directly described in four words that he did not expect.
As the commander of the entire battlefield, Dolgon did not calculate that the infantry who had always been obedient to him would turn against him on the battlefield and slash the butcher's knife at his former master.
So, when he saw the two thousand infantry and the more than a thousand Tartar archers in the middle of the battle, and began to fight each other, Dolgon was stunned and fell into a visceral shock and incomprehension.
While Dorgon was still immersed in shock, his remaining men on the battlefield continued to dwindle sharply under the pursuit of the Haw Par Army at an unprecedented rate.
Seeing Dolgon, who was still immersed in shock beside him, his subordinates had to remind him with trepidation: "Lord Belle, defeated, we have lost again...... The Haw Par Army is about to chase after us, what should we do next? ”
"Defeated......" Hearing these two words, Dolgon, who had never failed on the battlefield, seemed to be stimulated by something, suddenly woke up from his shock, and shouted loudly with a face full of unwillingness: "No, we haven't failed yet, not yet, how can I, Dolgon, fail on the battlefield, how can it be." ”
Dolgon's reluctance and roar did not inspire the courage of his men to continue fighting, but only made everyone even more fearful of the future. Because, Dolgon, who has always been known for his calmness on the battlefield, began to lose his cool under the repeated persecution of the Haw Par Army, which proved to everyone that the Haw Par Army was strong and could not be defeated.
So, as soon as Dolgon's roar fell, the terrified voices of his subordinates reached Dorgon's ears again.
"Lord Belle, the attacking troops, the attacking troops have all been wiped out...... We only have less than 2,000 warriors left in our hands, so we ask Lord Belle to temporarily withdraw from the battlefield for the sake of the future of the white flag, and wait for us to recover in the future, and then raise our troops to fight again. ”
As he spoke, his subordinates pointed in the direction of their fingers, and Dolgon happened to see the tragic scene of his remaining five hundred remnants, which were instantly overwhelmed by the tiger and leopard army under the frantic pursuit of the tiger and leopard army.
Seeing the battlefield almost covered with infantry followers and the corpses of warriors, and seeing the terrified expressions behind them, the morale of the more than a thousand subordinates who once again fell to the bottom because of the defeat.
With an unwilling face, Dolgon finally regained his composure, and his face changed from iron blue to gloomy.
Under the expectant gaze of several of his heart, Dorgon finally spoke: "Hate ......"
"Cunning Hawpanther Army, the shame that I, Dolgon, have suffered on you today, sooner or later, will all be recovered. Order the troops, retreat immediately, don't go back to the barracks, the musketeers of the Haw Par Army have already left the city, if we don't withdraw from the battlefield yet, we, the warriors, will have to enter the range of the opponent's arquebuses again......"
"Yes, Lord Belle...... The minions immediately organized the warriors to retreat...... The confidant lieutenant replied loudly with a face full of joy......"
"Boom ......" accompanied by the deafening sound of horses' hooves sounded on the battlefield, and under the endless blows of the tiger and leopard army, the Tartars, who had been completely frightened, surrounded Dolgon, did not even want fifteen belle dordors, and quickly withdrew from the battlefield, leaving the tiger and leopard army with a large amount of smoke and dust rolled up by the hooves of war horses.
"The Tartars have retreated......" Zhou Shuyuan, who was standing beside Wei Zheng, shouted loudly with excitement on his face.
As soon as the words fell, Wang Feng shouted after him: "General, victory, our Tiger and Leopard Army has won, and the Tartars have been defeated by us......"
Looking at the subordinates around him who had begun to cheer, Wei Zheng's calm face finally had a change of thought, revealing a smile from the heart.
He sighed to the two subordinates, "It is indeed a victory...... I believe that after this war, our Haw Par Army will definitely be able to make a name for itself in the whole Guan and even in the entire Ming Dynasty......"
"Okay, now is not the time to be really happy, I just watched, in order to save the remaining soldiers, Dolgon did not even return to the battalion and withdrew directly from the battlefield. With such a large barracks, there must be a lot of good things left. ”
"Order the troops out of the city to occupy the Tartar camp at once, and transport all the good things left behind by Dolgon the Tartar back to Mushroom Valley. In addition, inform the battalions, quickly count the results and losses, and I will know the details tonight, and then the whole army will celebrate together to celebrate our defeat of the Tartars and the holding of the mushroom valley......"
"More than three thousand five hundred horses and crossbows...... Are you sure you're not wrong......" Looking at Zhou Shuyuan with an excited face in front of him, Wei Zheng asked rhetorically with a face full of incredulity.
Zhou Shuyuan nodded affirmatively and replied: "General, three thousand five hundred and seventy-two horses, none of them are wrong. In addition to these war horses, we also found 50,000 catties of grain and a large amount of jerky in the Tartar military camp, which alone is enough for our Tiger and Par Army to spend twenty days......"
"After all, the Tartar military camp has stored tens of thousands of troops for nearly ten days of combat attrition. It's just that what the Tartars didn't expect was that they were defeated so quickly, and before half of the various material reserves were used, they were defeated by our Tiger and Leopard Army. ”
Wei Zheng nodded first, then shook his head again, and finally spoke: "I'm not worried about food, no matter how much we have mushrooms, we can fit it." It's just that so many war horses are a trouble, if you count the war horses captured in our hands before, they have exceeded five thousand. Even one person and two horses are too much, and we don't need one person and two horses at all. More importantly, war horses eat more than us, and so many war horses will not only not increase our combat effectiveness, but also increase our food pressure. ”
In an instant, Zhou Shuyuan's brows also furrowed, and after a short contemplation, he replied: "General, otherwise, I will select all the captured war horses once, and as long as there is something wrong, all of them will be killed and eaten as horse meat." In this case, at least 500 horses can be lost. As for the rest, I can only raise it temporarily and find a way later. ”
Wei Zheng nodded and replied, "Then do it first...... Let's go, tonight is our Haw Par Army's celebration banquet, don't think about these things for the time being, let's go, drink and ......"
