Chapter 460: Death in the Forest
At dusk, in the middle of the dense forest.
Ibai fled south in embarrassment, surrounded by Mongol Tatar soldiers who were also fleeing for their lives, all like lost dogs, hoping that he would run faster than his companions, so as not to be overtaken by the Ming army behind.
"Immortal God! When did the Great Mongolian warriors become so unbearable? ”
At this time, Yibai wailed in pain in his heart, after he led an army of 12,000 to raid the flank of the Ming army, he was defeated by the "second-rate" auxiliary soldiers in Liu Yan's hands, which was simply a nightmare!
Until this time, Ibay did not realize that the garrison was also a first-class strong army, and it was not a miscellaneous army such as auxiliaries at all.
At this time, in the mountains and forests, Zheng Yi and the three commanders each led a group of soldiers, and they had all abandoned the military formation, and almost pursued the enemy in the mountains and forests with flags or even teams.
"Fire!"
One of the flag commanders roared angrily, and his bird-bearers opened fire, and several Tartars who were fleeing for their lives in front fell in response, and then the soldiers of the second battalion who caught up drew their swords and slashed their heads.
"Flag chief, there are still Tartars over there, do you want to chase them?"
"Nonsense, chase after Lao Tzu, there is no forgiveness for killing!"
Everyone chased after them, and not far away, dozens of soldiers of the second battalion marched in unison, chasing the enemy.
"Flag commander, look, there are a lot of Tartar soldiers in front, should we stop and wait for the brothers in the back?"
The flag commander glared angrily at the subordinate who spoke, and shouted, "What are you waiting for? Those are not enemy soldiers, they are all first-level military merits, and wait for the brothers in the back to come up and grab the merits! ”
"But there are only about 30 of us, and there are hundreds of people in front?"
"That's a few hundred pigs, they don't have the power to resist at all, kill me
! ”
While speaking, everyone's footsteps did not stop, while pursuing and firing, two sword and shield hands also threw out a few earth-shattering thunder, and immediately blew up the Mongolian rout in front of them, several Tartar soldiers were blown to the flesh and blood, and the remaining Tartar soldiers were splashed with blood and flesh, and they were even more heartbroken, even if the pursuers behind them were only one-tenth of their own, no one dared to turn over and block them.
"Ahh
In the midst of the rout, Ma Jia Erde shouted in horror, he followed the Qing Dynasty Iron Cavalry several times into the customs to attack the Ming, fought the grass valley under the Datong city, plundered the Han people in various parts of Liaodong, and showed off his might under the city of Beijing, he has always been majestic, which time he can harvest a full harvest, and returning to his home outside the gate can make the relatives at home live a worry-free life of food and clothing, even if such a day is exchanged for the blood and tears of the people of the Ming Dynasty.
But since there was a Liu Yan in Shandong, everything has changed, first his two brothers, the Bayala warriors of the Mongolian White Banner died in Julu, and then one of his younger brothers died in the city of Jinan.
In the blink of an eye, when the Battle of Jinzhou came, only himself and his two teenage nephews were left in Erde's family. When the emperor recruited the army to fight with the Ming army in the Loess Ridge, two nephews were also killed by the Ming army!
Now Erde is the last adult male in the family, and if he dies in this mountain forest again, the women and children in the family will become other people's wives and concubines and playthings, which is unacceptable to Erde.
Therefore, while Erde shouted loudly, his steps were flying, and even his companions who were blocking in front were cut to the ground by the war knife in Erde's hand.
suddenly
However, a black iron lump landed not far ahead, and Erde's eyes widened suddenly, and a desperate whimper came out of his throat.
Immediately afterward, the iron lump exploded, killing Erde and two other Tartars, leaving the mutilated body all around, and soon trampled to the ground by the Mongol Tartars who had fled through the area.
Soon, the commander of the department, Zong Yuan, chased after him with more than 40 people, looked at the minced meat all over the ground, and scolded loudly: "Loser! Try to use as little as possible, the Tartar heads are all blown up, how can it be considered a military merit! ”
After speaking, Zong Yuan angrily kicked half of the Heavenly Spirit Cover next to him away, and the Heavenly Spirit Cover with a small wisp of money rat tail was Erde's. In history, he followed Nikan to fight south, was promoted to the leader of the Mongolian white flag because of his merits, and was received by Emperor Shunzhi, and the fierce general Erde could not have imagined that because of Liu Yan's existence, everything changed direction.
"Keep the pursuit!"
Zong Yuan roared and led his troops to continue the pursuit of the router.
At the same time, on the defense line of the Great Wall ruins, Chen Xun also received the news sent by Zheng Yi's heralds, and he was shocked but also afraid for a while, fortunately, the governor also sent the second battalion, otherwise this time it would really be attacked by the Tartars.
"Tell Zheng Yi four words: eliminate evil!"
Chen Xun was angry at this time, the dog Tartar actually played yin with him, so don't blame yourself for being a black hand: "Order all departments, refuse to contain prisoners, and judge merit by the head!" ”
"Yes!"
At this time, outside the defense line, Shi Tingzhu's department had completely lost the ability to attack, and could only retreat in the woods a hundred steps away from the defense line, sending fire from time to time
The gunners attacked, and under the cover of the shield soldiers, they fired indiscriminately at the soldiers of the former battalion on the ruins of the Great Wall.
However, this kind of play had no effect at all, and every time the firecrackers of the Han army were attacking, they would be concentrated by a large number of bird-gunners to fight back, each time they dropped a lot of corpses, and then retreated a hundred paces away in embarrassment.
"Why don't you withdraw your troops!"
Shi Tingzhu looked at his subordinates who had suffered heavy casualties, looked back at the Manchurian Zhengbai Banner army waiting in the rear, and felt resentful in his heart, could it be that because he and his soldiers and horses were all Han army flags, they deserved to die here?
"Master, why don't you send someone to Prince Rui to plead for mercy?"
Shi Tingzhu nodded, and then sent a Niu Lu Jiala to intercede, hoping to temporarily withdraw the army back.
But it didn't take long for two Baya soldiers with the white flag of Manchuria to rush to the horse, and the two found Shi Tingzhu, who was hiding two hundred steps away from the Ming army's defense line, and angrily threw a Xue Linlin's head on the ground, one of them said: "Prince Rui has an order: all departments of the Han Army Banner will not retreat, and those who violate the order will be killed!" ”
Shi Tingzhu was completely dumbfounded, looked at the human head on the ground, and timidly nodded to accept the order, and then sent away the two fierce Baya soldiers.
"What should I do?"
Shi Tingzhu cried with a sad face, wondering why Dolgon did this, could it be that he had offended this Prince Rui, so he wanted to get rid of himself by the hands of the Ming army?
"How so?"
Shi Tingzhu thought that there was no place to offend Dolgon, Dolgon led people to rush into his house, ruined his beloved concubine, and he was still smiling next to him, how could he offend Dolgon?
"Master, let's
What to do? ”
The surrounding subordinates asked one after another, and Shi Tingzhu was entangled for a while, and then said with a hideous face: "Since Prince Rui has an order, then let's continue to fight until we die!" ”
The crowd was shocked.
On the site of the Great Wall, Chen Xun looked at the soldiers and horses of the Han army who began to attack frequently, and scolded angrily: "These dogs and traitors were mostly Liaodong soldiers and horses before, and they were all greedy for life and afraid of death. ”
Then Chen Xun said: "Order all departments, immediately counterattack, rush up for me, and chase the ducks!" ”
"Woo~woo!"
Soon, the trumpet of the Ming army sounded, and more than 10,000 soldiers in the front battalion of the new army drove down from the ruins of the Great Wall one after another, and began to cross the trench in front of the defense line and reorganize the army formation in the woodland.
Shi Tingzhu was taken aback when he saw this, and was so frightened that he hurriedly sent troops to block the attack, wanting to attack while the soldiers of the front battalion of the new army moved, and perhaps he could repel the soldiers of the new army who had not gained a firm foothold.
But the reality slapped Shi Tingzhu in the face again, and the Han army banner soldiers and horses who rushed forward were at least a thousand people, but they were repelled by some of the birds on the guard on the Great Wall ruins.
The officers and men of the front battalion of the new army were sent out in batches, and at least one-third of the troops were still left on the city, which was enough to defeat the Han army's banner soldiers and horses that rushed up.
Seeing this, Shi Tingzhu's face was like ashes, whether he stayed here at this time or led his troops to retreat, it was a dead end, and he couldn't help but go crazy, and shouted: "The whole army rushes up and is loyal to the Qing Dynasty!" ”
Many soldiers and horses of the Han army around looked at Shi Tingzhu with a strange look: Your Shi family was not a border general of the Ming Dynasty, and your Shi Tingzhu was original
Is it still the garrison of the Ming Dynasty? Now that the Qing Dynasty has surrendered, how can you still have the face to mention the word "loyalty"?
Soon, the remnants of the white flag of the Han army were pushed forward by Shi Tingzhu, but at this time, the officers and soldiers of the front battalion had basically been rectified, and under the leadership of Chen Xun and others, they were directly pressed.
"Put!"
After the birdmen fired a salvo at the same time, thousands of pikemen roared and charged, and the two sides soon fell into close combat, nearly 20,000 people collided together, and the sound of slaughter was shocking.
Under the protection of a large number of guards, Chen Xun kept moving forward, and said differently: "Yo? These two Tartars are really brave, and they are ......"
Before he finished speaking, Chen Xun saw the Han army flag soldiers and horses in front of him collapse on the spot with a bang, the soldiers and horses in front were killed by the soldiers of the new army, and the soldiers and horses of the Han army behind turned around and ran, and thousands of enemy troops rushed south in the dense forest like the ebb tide of the sea.
Shi Tingzhu was also carried by the rout and began to flee for his life, crying loudly as he ran, as if he was crying for his fate.
"Haha! Chase, chase me! ”
Chen Xun laughed and ordered the pursuit, and the various units of the front battalion began to advance southward in great strides, harvesting the Han army banners and horses on the battlefield.
A few miles to the south, Dolgon frowned and looked into the distance, at this time he could already see the fleeing Han army flag rout, and was immediately shot by the Manchurian white flag armor soldiers who supervised the formation in front.
"Report!"
At this moment, a group of scouts galloped back, bringing the news of the defeat of the Ibaibu.
"The soldiers and horses trained by Liu Yanxin actually have such combat power!"
Dolgon was shocked in his heart, and he originally wanted to use the Han army flag to contain the front camp of the new army
, When Yibai's side succeeds, he will dispatch the elite of Manchurian Zhengbai Banner to participate in the battle, and he may be able to rebuild the front battalion of the new army, but at this time he dispelled this idea, at this time the general trend has gone, and everything is based on preserving strength.
"Withdraw!"
Dolgon gave an order, and then withdrew south with the Manchurian white flag.
When Shi Tingzhu fled here in embarrassment, he received an order to retreat, and suddenly smiled: The master still feels sorry for the slave!
"Withdraw! The whole army retreats south! ”
Shi Tingzhu ordered loudly at the top of his voice, and then fled south with the crowd.
With the retreat of the Qing army, the battle on Huang Songyu's side finally came to an end.
At dusk, Chen Xun sat on the beacon tower, a bonfire had been lit in front of him, Zhang Xun, Guo Mingxu, Shen Donglai, three guerrilla generals, and Zheng Yi, the commander of the second battalion, were all sitting next to him, and everyone reported the casualties and beheadings of each department.
In this battle, the front battalion of the new army suffered 317 casualties, the second battalion of the garrison suffered 615 casualties, and the two battalions suffered a total of 932 casualties, of which 508 were killed.
The various departments beheaded 3,762 soldiers and horses of the Han army, and 2,911 soldiers and horses of the Mongolian white flag, totaling 6,673 levels, of which 813 Mongolian soldiers were killed, and the Mongolian white flag tartars have been severely damaged.
Moreover, in this battle, many Tartars were killed by the earth-shattering thunder, and many Tartar soldiers were crushed by birds, plus the corpses of Tartars snatched by their companions, the casualties of the Qing army must have been more.
Unfortunately, the Manchurian White Banner led by Dolgon did not participate in the battle and fled first
。
After discussion, Chen Xun and others decided to deploy the second battalion of soldiers and horses in the flank and rear of the defense line of the Great Wall ruins to prevent the Qing army from detouring the road again from both flanks.
Immediately, Chen Xun said loudly: "Report to the governor immediately!" ”
