[104] Jia Yuanchun fled for his life, and Lin Daiyu fled
When the evening is on.
The heavy snow has stopped for days.
No wind, dry and cold.
The ground is freezing and the weather is cold.
A bright moon hangs in the sky.
Under the cold night sky is the Shanhaiguan Towering between two cliffs.
Sealed the sky and the earth, it is magnificent.
This was accompanied by the "creaking" sound of the wooden shaft turning.
The gate of Shanhaiguan slowly opened.
An army of infantry and cavalry poured out of the gate, through the white moonlight, and ran into the distance.
Among the cavalry, there is a female general who is particularly eye-catching, it is Jia Yuanchun who is riding a jujube red horse.
According to the predetermined plan, tonight she led Chen Daguang and Hu Shouren, led 2,000 cavalry and 8,000 infantry, quietly went out of the city for twenty miles to ambush, and waited for tomorrow to outflank the Jin army from behind.
The next day, it was sunny.
The sun shines on the snow, and as far as the eye can see, it is white, boundless, and a little dazzling.
Lou Nan led 6,000 cavalry, doubled the banner, pretended to be tens of thousands of cavalry, and rushed towards the Jin army camp fifteen miles away.
Behind this cavalry, there were two mixed armies of infantry and cavalry, which came out of the pass one after another, and ambushed in the valley of Kanto and the slopes of Kansai respectively.
Two hours later, the sound of the horses' hooves went and returned, like thunder running over the earth.
Lou Nan led 6,000 cavalry, pretended to be defeated, and ran all the way to the foot of Shanhaiguan.
"The whole army listens to the order, the rear team becomes a striker, turn around and attack!"
As soon as his words fell, the Great Zhou cavalry, after struggling a few times, ignored his order and continued to flee towards the gate of Shanhaiguan.
No one wants to go toe-to-toe with the Eight Banners.
Compared with the cavalry of the Great Zhou and the Iron Cavalry of the Eight Banners, the combat power is far apart.
Lou Nan was dumbfounded.
He didn't expect that his subordinates would dare to disobey military orders.
Feng Ziying stood on the gate, not knowing what was happening below.
"Fire!"
With his order, the thirty-nine guns that were closed opened fire at the same time.
Among them, twenty are starry cannons, ten are Furlong cannons, and nine are Hongyi cannons.
There are three types of shells: shotguns, solid shells, and flowering shells.
Although the power was not great, the cannonballs fell among the horses of the Eight Banners Iron Cavalry.
Fortunately, Lou Nan's 6,000 cavalry did not turn around, otherwise, they would have been affected by these shells.
The solid bullet broke the legs of several horses, and the starry artillery burst out in the herd like large fireworks, which only played a role in scaring the people and horses, and the shrapnel from the explosion of the Franc machine gun injured dozens of horses, and the Hongyi cannon killed several Eight Banner cavalry in the rear team, and in general, this round of shelling did not bring huge casualties to the Eight Banners army, only a little chaos.
At this moment, the valleys of Kanto and the slopes of Kansai resounded with a sea of shouts of killing.
Although the shouts were shocking, the soldiers of the Great Zhou were reluctant to rush to the front.
Whenever a soldier rushes to the front row, he deliberately slows down and allows those who follow him to rush ahead of him.
From a distance, the overwhelming Great Zhou army on both sides is like the waves on the shore, and when they rush over, they will continue to roll up.
"Not good! There is an ambush! When Dorgon saw this, he exclaimed.
In order to prevent the Great Zhou from luring the snake out of the hole, he only brought 10,000 cavalry out of the village to meet Lou Nan's 6,000 cavalry, leaving Duoduo to lead the remaining 10,000 cavalry to guard the camp, beware of the Zhou army from moving the tiger away from the mountain and sneaking up on the camp.
Unexpectedly, the Zhou army really laid an ambush.
Although the attack was sudden, Dolgon was experienced in a hundred battles, both civil and military, and the 10,000 iron cavalry under his command were all veterans of a hundred battles, and did not fall into chaos.
As the saying goes, the Jurchen is not satisfied with ten thousand, and the ten thousand are invincible.
Dolgon firmly believed that with this 10,000 cavalry, he would be able to repel the ambush and defeat the Zhou army.
But at this moment, there was another shout of killing from the back of his team.
Dolgon rode up a small hill next to him, looked back, and saw a large number of Zhou troops behind him, covering up.
"Oops! The Zhou army was surrounded on all sides! ”
Although the Zhou army was amazing, their movements were surprisingly slow.
Not only the infantry, but also the cavalry were slow, one by one, and they didn't have the slightest intention of charging on horseback.
"Don't panic! Zhou Jun is as timid as a mouse, and now the rear team has become the front team, and he will rush out of the encirclement with me! Dorgon gave the order.
The Eight Banners cavalry, who were still a little panicked, gradually calmed down, brandished their sabers, turned around and galloped wildly, and rushed towards the Zhou army behind.
This Zhou army was 2,000 cavalry and 8,000 infantry under the command of Jia Yuanchun himself.
Although there were tens of thousands of people, the infantry was inherently at a disadvantage when facing the cavalry.
As soon as the two sides came into contact, Zhou Jun only lasted less than half a cup of tea, and then the whole line collapsed.
Fortunately, the other three Zhou armies had all gathered around and fought with the Jin army, otherwise the 10,000 Zhou army led by Jia Yuanchun would not have been able to hold on to half a cup of tea at all.
"Resist it, don't retreat!" Jia Yuanchun shouted loudly, but her shouts were drowned out by the sound of weapons colliding, shouting and screaming.
Chen Daguang and Hu Shouren, two generals, also roared out one after another, shouting to stop the deserters.
But they couldn't stop the defeat of the Zhou army.
Dolgon led a dozen brave subordinates to kill through the Zhou army and go straight to the banner of the Chinese army.
Chen Daguang said urgently:
"Jia Jian Jun, Dolgon's killing is coming, retreat quickly!"
Jia Yuanchun's face was sad, his eyes were frightened, and he said astringently:
"Withdraw!"
Chen Daguang and Hu Shouren led more than 20 cavalrymen to guard Jia Yuanchun and fled westward.
They wanted to bypass the battlefield where they were fighting and return to Shanhaiguan.
But Dolgon's riding skills were excellent, and he soon caught up.
They were followed by more than a dozen Eight Banner cavalry.
They are all wearing white helmets and white armor, which should be either white flags or inlaid white flags.
Since Dorgon is the owner of the white flag, these cavalry should all belong to the white flag.
One of the soldiers tried to bend his bow and arrow, but was reprimanded by Dolgon:
"Everyone obeys the order, don't shoot the female general in front, otherwise the military law will deal with it!"
"Huh!" The soldiers took orders.
"Whoosh-whoosh-whoosh-"
With a few sounds of breaking the air, the cavalry took up their bows and shot arrows.
The arrows flew out, and several Great Zhou cavalrymen guarding around Jia Yuanchun were hit by arrows one after another.
The cavalry of the Great Zhou also turned back one after another, bending their bows and shooting arrows to return fire.
But they were unskilled, and only two white-flaged cavalrymen were wounded, and the rest of the arrows missed.
It didn't take long for Jia Yuanchun to leave only Chen Daguang and Hu Shouren by his side.
However, Dorgon and a dozen white-flaged cavalrymen chased closer and closer.
......
At the same time, in the Rongguo Mansion in Shenjing City.
Suzaku led more than 800 Jinyi guards to fight and retreat, and was forced into the west corner gate of the Rong Mansion by tens of thousands of bandits.
The bandits took the opportunity to storm the Rongguo Mansion.
The Jinyi Guard continued to reduce its personnel, but the bandits fought more and more.
It turned out that several other bandits in the vicinity heard the news and wanted to take the opportunity to loot the Rongguo Mansion.
Hearing the shouts of killing, the sound of weapons colliding and the miserable howls outside, Lin Daiyu knew that another thief had broken in, and hurriedly rushed out of Rongqing Hall with a long sword in hand.
When she saw the bandits rushing like a flood, she was horrified.
In front of the more than 10,000 bandits, the more than 800 brocade guards were simply mantis arms as cars, and they couldn't stop them.
Lin Daiyu hurriedly ran back to Rongqing Hall and said to Jia Mu and Dai Quan:
"Old ancestor, father-in-law, the thief is huge and the situation is critical, you quickly escape with me!"
