Whoosh –

Knock Knock Knock –

A series of several arrows were nailed to the shield, the arrows were three points into the wood, and actually directly penetrated the shield, the wings were still trembling violently, the soldier hiding behind the shield was taken aback, and before he could look away from the piercing arrow cluster, he heard a few more screams, and several comrades fell down one after another.

The Mongolian archers were skillful in arching and horseback, which brought great casualties to the Ming troops on the position, they could only hide behind the arrow board, and from time to time seize the gap to lean out and shoot back, and the tiger squat gunners who opened fire on the charging Qing army did not have time to retract the artillery, and turned around and fled behind the shield wall composed of soldiers behind them.

The shotgun fire fired by the Ming army before the enemy charge really brought a lot of casualties to the Qing army, but this did not stop them from continuing to charge, and the Qing army stopped for a while, and then rushed forward with a shout, together with the Ming army who were waiting for the battle.

Among the Qing troops who fought fiercely with the Ming army, in addition to the Han women of the Green Battalion who obviously had the faces of the Han people, there was no shortage of obscene-looking Manchurian soldiers, who wielded a sharp long knife and were skilled in combat, and the fight did not take long to suppress the Ming army.

In the absence of systematic army support, how can these Ming defense lines, which are basically composed of Qing army surrenders, block the ace soldiers of the Qing army, coupled with the Qing army archers behind are still constantly throwing, the arrows fell like raindrops in the Ming army's formation, so that the Ming army's casualties increased sharply, and began to retreat.

On the mountainside, Zhang Huangyan personally sat here, he looked at the scene of the unstable defense line at the foot of the mountain, frowned, looked at Zhang Tianlu, the governor of Zhejiang, who was standing beside him, and ordered him: "Let the soldiers at the foot of the mountain retreat, you lead the headquarters to ambush on both sides of the mountain road, as long as the Qing army pursues the army, launch an ambush."

"The last general commands." Zhang Tianlu responded with his fists clenched, and then led his headquarters with several generals to the foot of the mountain to set up an ambush on several mountain roads leading to the mountain.

At the same time, the horn of withdrawal on the mountainside sounded in time, and the soldiers of the Ming army who were still resisting heard it, and they covered each other and retreated, and even the tiger squat artillery on the position did not care to take it away.

Seeing the retreat of the Ming army, the Qing army hurriedly pursued it, and Niu Lu Zhangjing Doniha rushed to the front, and killed the Ming army foot soldiers who fell behind, which made the rest of the Ming army even more panicked, and they ran away desperately.

Hong Chengchou saw that the Ming army took the initiative to retreat, worried that they would set up an ambush on the mountain, and ordered the poor Kou Mo to chase, but where was Doniha willing to pay attention to Hong Chengchou's order of the Han Chinese, he took his subordinates Niu Lu and armor and clothing, as well as a part of the green battalion soldiers to pursue all the way, so that the Ming army cried and called his mother, so it was not majestic.

But at this moment, they suddenly heard several guns on both sides of the mountain road, and the Ming army jumped up one after another behind the bushes on both sides of the mountain road, holding bird guns and bows and crossbows, and shot at the Qing army on the mountain road, and the Qing army was caught off guard and was shot many immediately.

Doniha reacted quickly, and when he heard the sound of the gun, he rolled violently, dodging the arrows that had been fired at the place where he had been standing, and before he could stand up, a large number of Ming soldiers rushed out from one side, one of whom swung his sword at him.

Doniha hurriedly raised his knife to block, blocking the man's waist knife, and then raised his right foot and kicked hard at the opponent's soft abdomen, the foot soldier screamed and was kicked out directly, Doniha took a few steps forward to completely finish him off, but at this moment, two more foot soldiers came from the other side, blocking his way.

There are not many people who react as quickly as Doniha, after the Qing army on the mountain road was shot and killed, they were quickly dispersed by the Ming troops who killed on both sides, Zhang Tianlu personally brandished a long knife to cut off the arm of a green battalion soldier, and then dodged the knife that slashed at him, and smashed the back of the knife on the lower ribs of the Manchurian soldiers, the Manchurian soldiers snorted, covered the lower ribs and took a few steps back.

Zhang Tianlu followed closely and killed the past, but the Manchurian soldier suddenly swung out the war knife and slashed at him, Zhang Tianlu dodged and dodged, so that the war knife split on the trunk behind him, into the wood for three points, it was difficult to pull out for a while, Zhang Tianlu took the opportunity to cut down with a long knife, and cut off the Manchurian soldier's arm in one fell swoop, and then when the other party covered the broken arm and screamed, the blade slashed obliquely, and there was an extra hideous wound on his throat.

On the noisy battlefield, the Ming army's bird gunners still stood on the commanding heights to shoot the stubborn Qing soldiers on the mountain road, and saw one beside him

A comrade-in-arms fell, even the Manchurian soldiers couldn't bear it, they screamed loudly, and they turned around and fled, although Doniha also wanted to retreat, but a spear slammed his back when he was distracted, so that the brave and unwise Niu Lu Zhangjing was killed on the spot.

After the routs who pursued without authorization fled back to the bottom of the mountain one after another, Hong Chengchou, who was furious, directly arrested all of them, and both Manchu and Han lashed them in front of the whole army.

In his opinion, these losses could have been avoided, and as long as they obeyed their orders, they would not die in disgrace on the mountain road, but Doniha had already paid the price with his life, and he did not pursue it further.

It is worth mentioning that perhaps because of various factors such as the Qing Emperor's northern hunting, the relocation of the center of gravity of the imperial court to Guanwai, and the successive rebellions of the Mongolian tribes, the centrifugation of the Qing court in the provinces in the Guannai became more and more serious, and even the Han generals in Hong Chengchou's army began to be bold and no longer submissive to the Manchus as before.

This filled Hong Chengchou's heart with uneasiness - ironically, although he was a Han Chinese, he had been loyal to the Manchus since he surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, and tried to turn the tide and prevent the Qing court from falling.

He also looked down on the two-faced Wu Sangui, when the Ming court was destroyed, the Manchus came to rebel and surrender to the Qing Dynasty, and the Qing court rebelled against the Qing Dynasty after the decline of the Qing court, he was simply a disloyal, unfilial and unrighteous person, although Hong Chengchou was also an official of the Qing Dynasty, but he was still ashamed to be with Wu Sangui.

Far from it.

Although Hong Chengchou's method of punishing the Manchus and Han together was fair, it also aroused the dissatisfaction of the Manchu generals in the army, and they began to gather to make trouble, and several generals rushed directly to Hong Chengchou, arrogant and domineering, shouting:

"How can I, the soldier of the Eight Banners of Manchuria, be punished with that pig and dog, who is inferior to Nikan! Hong Chengchou, you must give us an explanation today, otherwise we will report to the imperial court, and you will definitely have to pay the price!"

The arrogance of these Manchus made the main composition of the soldiers in the army, the Han people, and when their words fell, the Han generals around Hong Chengchou immediately angrily fought with those Manchus and insulted each other.

Outside, the Han soldiers also confronted the Manchu soldiers, and under the direct threat of the Ming artillery on the top of the mountain, they were able to confront each other as if nothing had happened, with swords and swords facing each other.

Perhaps it was the usual attitude of the Han people who were accustomed to the submissive attitude, several Manchurian soldiers were furious and directly used knives against the Han soldiers who confronted them, which undoubtedly intensified the contradiction, after seeing the blood, the Han people who were extremely angry finally stopped being patient, they shouted and pulled out their weapons to besiege the Manchurian soldiers, and the fighting between the two sides also alarmed the generals in the confrontation.

When Hong Chengchou came to the battlefield, the two sides were already swords, dozens of people fell in a pool of blood, often a few Han people besieged a Manchurian soldier, no matter how brave the Manchurian soldier was, it was difficult to defeat with two fists and four hands, and he was quickly cut to the ground.

And the Mongols ...... The Mongols actually watched the play from a distance, and they had no intention of interfering in the fight.

This was the last thing Hong Chengchou wanted to see, he hurriedly mobilized troops who did not participate in the internal strife to suppress the turmoil, and at the same time, in order to avoid the Ming army taking advantage of the situation to attack, he could only order to abandon the occupied position at the foot of the mountain and start retreating.
