"Master Hou, did you say that the bastard of Zhun Tan will enter the temple entrance, this group of beasts burns and loots all the way, if you don't kill them, it will be difficult to extinguish the hatred in my heart!"

The sentry of the Second Corps of the First Army of the First Guards asked Zhou Yuji, Marquis of Ningwu.

The 1st Cavalry Battalion of the 2nd Corps of the Guards at the entrance of the temple road was closest to Guting Town.

But Zhou Yuji did not let the first battalion of cavalry come to the rescue of Gu Tingkou, but continued to take them to grit their teeth and continue to lurk in the dense forest on both sides of the temple entrance, waiting for the quasi-tower to enter the ambush circle.

"Yes, if they want to go south to fight me Xuzhou, they must cross the river, and they can only search for civilian boats in the area of Dushan Lake and Weishan Lake!"

Zhou Yuji was talking when he heard the sound of horses roaring from the inside of the mountain, and a sentry came to report: "Master Hou, the Tartar is here!" ”

"Sure enough!"

Zhou Yuji muttered to himself, and then decisively ordered: "Notify it, wait for half an hour after all the Tartars enter the temple entrance before sending a signal flare!" When the time comes, the infantry in ambush on both sides immediately attack! ”

Zhun Ta and his 5,000 cavalry did not notice that tens of thousands of hate-filled Han Jiaerlang were aiming at them with flintlock muskets, and 6,000 cavalry were waiting for them with swords drawn behind them and in front of them.

It is April now, and in addition to the cool breeze in the verdant Jingugou area, it is the song and swallow dance of the warbler.

Although most of the Tartars such as Zhun Da were cavalry who had been fighting for many years, most of them had only fought outside the pass, and they did not think that the Ming army would have the determination to fight them, so they did not have much vigilance in this mountain and forest environment.

In a moment, the whole forest was filled with gunfire, and the bullets of flintlock pistols crackled in the woods.

The white-armored soldier Ha Ling, who followed Zhun Ta to the front, was grabbing a snatched Han girl on horseback at this time, and when he turned his head to look at the sound, a bullet had directly overturned his heavenly spirit, and he fell to the ground in a moment.

The red-armored soldier Long La instinctively pulled out the knife that had just killed countless Han people, and was looking around, when he suddenly felt a pain in his abdomen, and then his mount also fell directly to the ground, and the whole person fell, and his knife stained with Han blood also fell to the ground.

The rest of the Tartars also had those who were shot one after another, and these Tartars who had been killed all the way from Baoding never thought that they would encounter an ambush here, and these people's firearms were so sharp.

Zhun Ta also realized that he had been ambushed, and he was also angry and wanted to kill this group of Ming troops who relied on the terrain to shoot, but he also knew that the only thing he could do now was to leave this valley immediately, and three sharp arrows came out of Zhun Ta's hand and struck into the forest with a roar.

A Guards soldier was accidentally hit by an arrow, while Qin Minping, the commander of the first infantry battalion of the Second Corps of the Guards Army, decisively raised his hand and aimed at the arm of the tower and fired a shot.

Zhun Ta was immediately shot in the arm, and he grinned in pain, but he still endured the severe pain and galloped away with the cavalry behind him towards the valley mouth.

At the same time, more than 10,000 flintlock pistols on both sides of the Guards were still biting this group of Qing army iron cavalry.

At the beginning, the 5,000 Qing army iron cavalry could still be in order, but as more and more Tartars were shot, and more and more war horses were injured and galloped or fell, this Qing army iron cavalry began to be chaotic.

The infantry battalion of the Guards kept reaping the lives of these Tartars, and these brutes who owed countless lives to the Han people along the way have completely tasted the lesson of blood at this moment!

Zhun Ta escaped with only more than 1,000 horsemen, but as soon as he got out of the vast area of the valley mouth, the cavalry of the second battalion of the Guards Cavalry had already rushed towards the Zhun Ta, a remnant of more than 1,000 horsemen.

Although they had just been ambushed and panicked, these old Tartars, who were skilled in archers and horses, and had killed countless people, still rode their horses extremely bravely and killed more than 6,000 cavalry of the second battalion of the Guards.

The two streams of iron fought together, fighting back and forth on the plains of the Surabaya River, and then a corpse fell, staining a pool of turquoise water.

Zhun Ta was a little stunned and hurriedly turned his horse's head around the mouth of the golden ditch and went in the direction of the temple entrance, trying to retreat, he also began to realize at this moment that the Xuzhou boundary was not as easy to fight as he imagined, it seemed that the Ming army had already been ambushed here.

There were only about 600 horsemen left who retreated with the tower.

These more than 600 cavalry are almost all armored soldiers, and even many of them are Qing army officers above the assistant leader, in the past, they were all elite soldiers who could break through thousands of armies alone, but at this moment, most of them also showed a panicked look, after all, they were all deep into the hinterland of the Ming army, and they fought for so long, and they did not get a moment of rest, not only panicked but also very tired.

At this time, the first battalion of the cavalry of the Guards, who was waiting for work, also killed it, blocking the way of the remnants of the cavalry such as the tower.

Rao is Zhun Tower's five thousand Qing army iron cavalry are brave and good at fighting, can break through from the Jingou Pass, and can also break through from the second battalion of the Guards in the siege battle, but at this moment, facing the six thousand fresh forces of the first battalion of the Guards cavalry, even if it is an iron Qing army iron cavalry, it is impossible to have the strength to fight.

Zhou Yuji personally held the spear and stepped out of the horse, but he didn't say anything, raised the spear, clamped the horse's belly, and roared: "Kill!" ”

In an instant, the soldiers of the 1st Cavalry Battalion of the Guards Army rode their horses and whips out of the flat land on the side of the temple entrance, shouting and killing as if the Surabaya River had been broken, and the sound of horses' hooves was like the sound of drums that shook the earth, shaking the grass and trees, and frightened the birds and beasts.

Zhun Ta only knew that he was in a desperate situation at this time, and he could only grit his teeth, and rode his horse towards the first battalion of the cavalry of the Guards to kill the general, more than 600 remnants of the Qing army and the first battalion of the cavalry of the Guards 6,000 iron cavalry together, the sonorous sound of the blade colliding, the sound of sharp arrows breaking the armor and the sound of the three-eyed gun, one after another.

When the sun set on the West Mountain, when there was only a glow on the Weishan Lake not far away, there were only more than three horsemen around the tower, and he himself had his right arm cut off and fell to the ground and could not stand up.

The other two Tartar cavalry still stubbornly rushed towards the guards, Zhou Yuji stabbed his spear and brushed it directly from a Tartar money rat tail, which fell directly to the ground, revealing a bare head, while the other Tartar was stabbed under the horse by Zhou Yuji's backhand.

Seeing this, the Tartar who had no money rat tail hurriedly fled from Zhou Yuji's flank, and the cavalry behind Zhou Yuji was busy chasing after him, but was stopped by Zhou Yuji: "Let him go back, otherwise how will Abatai know the consequences of rashly invading my Xuzhou land!" ”

Here, Zhun Ta gritted his teeth and sat up, he knew that he could not escape, so he gritted his teeth and picked up the knife and prepared to commit suicide directly, and the spear in Zhou Yuji's hand had already come out of his hand, and directly hit the knife in Zhun Ta's hand:

"Take him down! Escort back to camp! Immediately clean up the battlefield, an hour later, enter Pei County overnight to rest, the third battalion of cavalry (B battalion) overnight to mobilize boats, tomorrow morning directly across the river, straight to Huai'an! ”
