Chapter 319: Lost Soldiers

The heavy armored cavalry of Jianyu met and slashed at the retreating soldiers of the left battalion, causing considerable casualties among the defeated soldiers of the left battalion, but still failed to prevent the escape of the left battalion.

Seeing that they could not stop the retreat of the left battalion, the Jianyu generals had no choice but to maintain their formation, envelop as many Han people as possible, and march directly towards the mountain pass.

Woohoo Woo ......

The crashing sound sounded on the heavy armored cavalry of the Jianyu, which was caused by the flintlock projectiles and crossbow arrows of the Ming army.

Aside from occasional shots in the face and other weakly defended areas, the Ming army's flintlock rifle and repeater attacks had little effect.

Boom Boom Boom ......

Seeing that conventional weapons were ineffective, mortar positions attacked with all their might.

The mortar counterattack of the Ming army was further intensified, and although the heavy armor soldiers were not afraid of crossbow arrows, it was impossible to resist the shells, and they constantly fell to the ground and died in the rumbling artillery.

This time, even Azig was distressed.

Every heavy cavalryman is a treasure, and no less than three hundred people died in just one short moment.

"Bang, bang!"

Two shells fell from the sky and suddenly fell into the heavy cavalry, blasting four or five soldiers and rolling several meters, and many of the cavalry screamed at the same time, covering their faces and chests and screaming loudly.

"Hahaha...... King Ding laughed, "This son and mother are really powerful."

Chongzhen smiled, that was nature, this kind of shell was wrapped in hundreds of small lead bullets, and after exploding, it attacked everyone around it indiscriminately, and the natural power was unparalleled.

The military law was so harsh that no one cared about the screaming soldiers, whose bodies fell to the ground and were quickly crushed into pulp.

"Onward!"

Ah Shan shouted, he knew that the Ming army had a long range, and now only by rushing to the Ming array as soon as possible could there be hope of victory, otherwise, everyone would die on the way to attack.

"This is not a reciprocal war at all!" Ahsan sighed secretly.

"Dangdangdang......" The Ming army position made an unusual sound.

Under the protection of heavy armor, under the condition that the Ming army's Makqin extinguished, they soon approached the trench of the mountain pass, and the cavalry who rushed to the mountain pass suddenly heard a gong sound in their ears, and everyone was shocked.

"Ming Army? And the backhand?"

Just when Jianlu was suspicious, they saw a large number of Ming troops armed with firearms and five-arrow crossbows, quickly got up, jumped out of the trench, and retreated into the mountain pass.

"Hahahaha, the Ming army was scared, they withdrew, they gave up the trench position!"

"Hahaha, rush! Kill all the barbarians!"

Although Ah Shan was full of doubts, he couldn't give up the attack because the Ming army retreated, so he shouted: "Be careful and continue to attack at full speed!"

Without the interference of flintlock pistols and crossbow arrows, the Heavy Armor of the Built-in Capture attacked faster.

Soon, they burst into front of the trench and began to erect planks and shovel earth to make easy roads in preparation for a large-scale assault on the retreat.

Boom Boom Boom ......

Naturally, the Ming army would not let them "work" safely and soundly, and gave them a mortar gift package with all their might.

Thousands of heavily armored soldiers took off their armor and quickly repaired the road, and soon several suggested dirt and boardwalk roads were paved.

"Haha, Chongzhen's death time has arrived! Rush! All the troops charge!"

Da Da Da ......

All the heavy armoured soldiers desperately patted their horses and quickly passed through the three trenches.

"Dangdangdang......

When Ah Shan heard the sound of the gong, his heart instantly furious, "What? There is an ambush?"

As soon as this thought flashed through his mind, the explosion suddenly became violent, not from the position of the Ming army in front of him, but from the explosion under his feet.

"Bang bang ......"

A huge blast shook the ground.

Dirt and gravel soar to the sky.

Shrapnel flew everywhere.

Many of the heavily armored soldiers were killed on the spot.

The explosion even lifted the cavalry galloping on the ground into the air.

The knight fell to the ground, rolled and wailed, blocking the way, and the cavalry horse stumbled and fell.

"Damn, the barbarian who cheated on the woman, she hadn't killed a single Ming army, and she actually lost nearly 10,000 heavily armored cavalry." Azig was shocked and angry, and his heart was bleeding.

He knew that after this stop, the dream of rebuilding the Qing Dynasty would definitely be postponed.

Chongzhen looked at the scene of the people under the mountain turning over on their backs, and his face was indifferent.

It turned out that for the guards of the mountain pass, Chongzhen and the generals practiced many times, and they had anticipated the various offensive routines of Jianyu, and they had already judged the offensive route of Jianyu, and in order to better achieve a better killing effect, they buried countless explosives in the place where Jianyu must pass.

At this time, the Jianyu heavy cavalry entered the battle and was responsible for igniting the lead riflemen to fire the lead quickly and ignite the explosives.

From time to time, huge fires burst out of the ground, and huge boulders the size of basins were thrown into the air.

The road surface is collapsing and rocks are flying.

Jianyu's offensive came to a complete standstill.

Ah Shan was lying on the ground, motionless by the earth and stones, and there was a look of disbelief in his eyes, "When did the Ming army's firearms become so powerful......

"I'm unwilling!" With the last of his strength, Ahsan screamed and stopped breathing.

Rear Daxu.

Azig looked into the distance, and his eyes were full of anticipation and excitement when he saw the cavalry passing through the trench at a rapid pace.

Now, with an earth-shattering explosion, the excitement is gone.

He saw it clearly, hundreds of meters inside and outside the mountain pass trench, there were continuous explosions, and wherever there were more people, there would be fires.

"How could the Ming army detonate explosives so accurately? Damn it...... Damn!"

The counterattack of the Ming army was surprisingly strong, and he had no Han people to continue to consume the Ming army, and his heavy armor soldiers did not seem to be enough.

If it was in the past, seeing that the Ming army was counterattacking strongly, Azig would definitely withdraw his troops, reorganize, and attack again in the future.

But not today.

He clearly knew that Chongzhen's reinforcements were coming from all directions, and his son had lost news.

Eighty percent were blocked by the Ming army.

Even if he didn't die here today, when the Ming army Qin Wang arrived, he would face the risk of encirclement.

When the time comes, you must have enough troops to break through.

Even if he can't break through and kill Chongzhen today, he will die without regrets.

Therefore, we cannot retreat today, and we must take the mountain pass in one go.

Die, and die behind Chongzhen.

"Beat the drums again! Everyone, charge with this king!"

Azig commanded with a gloomy face.

Prince Daqingying's Daxu began to move forward.

The Jianyu cavalry suddenly cheered up.

Zuo Mengeng and Wang Shichong were coerced by Azig and rushed to the gates of hell with their personal guards.

"Why did I surrender to Jianyu, I regret it!" Zuo Menggeng's heart is like ashes.

The Ming army was trying their best to kill the heavily armored soldiers near the trench, and Azig's Chinese army was advancing quickly and unhindered.

Soon came to the front of the ditch.

When Chongzhen saw it, he immediately ordered the mortar to wait.

Rumble......

There was a loud bang.

The huge explosion exploded on Zuo Menggeng's side, lifting him away, slamming him to the ground, and burying him in the soil with his own soldiers.

Azig didn't care when he saw it, and he didn't stop moving forward.

Naturally, the Jianyu cavalry in front of them would not stop, rushing with red eyes.

Finally, they also came to the trench and got closer and closer to the mountain pass.

As long as you go over, you can rush to Chongzhen's Zhongjun tent with a flat horse.
