Chapter 62: The Battle of Qinghe (End)

Not only war soldiers, but also cavalry confrontation, Ma Huabao and Wang Hui's cavalry were difficult to compete with the cavalry of Wang Chaodong and Wu Xingye. This was not only a matter of the combat effectiveness of the soldiers, but also a morale bonus for the main general to take the lead in charge.

As the saying goes, "A soldier is timid, and a general is timid." This is what it means.

Faced with the attack of Zhou Shixian's army, Ma Huabao and Wang Hui's army were soon unable to resist and retreated step by step.

In fact, after several rounds of musket volleys, the rebels who died and injured hundreds of people had lost their attack spirit and order. They just thought that this Ming army, who was born in the Beijing camp, was similar to them, and did not have the deep-rooted fear of the Qing army and the Shun army, so they persevered.

It was precisely because Zhou Shixian used this to use muskets to deal with them a heavy blow, and then the soldiers went out to move with the momentum, and now they were about to defeat the rebels who were deceived to rob them.

Although Ma Huabao and Wang Hui are both veterans who have been through the battlefield for a long time, this is the first time they have seen the Ming army so strong.

Faced with the unexpected battle situation in front of them, they had already put all their servants on the battlefield, and they just had to charge themselves.

And the troops under Lu Jiude, who had not yet joined the battlefield, became their last hope.

However, what they didn't expect was that the other party was in danger now.

Although the two armies had not yet fought, Lu Jiude had already felt the slight tremor on the ground... He never thought that behind him, such a soldier would suddenly appear - more than a dozen cavalry charged forward, dozens of cavalry followed, and groups of war soldiers left behind.

But he was the military supervisor who had been leading troops for more than ten years, so naturally he would not sit still and wait for death. After the initial shock, he immediately ordered the remaining troops around him to attack and intercept them immediately.

Lu Jiude doesn't know who the Qianchang on the opposite side, but even those who ruin his major affairs will die no matter how brave and fearless they are.

"Stop them all for our family, and after our family destroys the chaotic army under the city, we will mobilize troops to deal with them." Lu Jiude ordered sharply.

"Here!"

A general riding a horse responded immediately. He looked at the fierce enemy in front of him. How could he not know the crisis of the situation?

"Take all the soldiers here with you. Remember, if you can't stop them, don't come back." Lu Jiude shouted sternly.

"Even if the general is in charge of his order, he will never let these rebel soldiers hurt their father-in-law a little."

In fact, when the general heard the sound and turned his head to see the large number of enemy troops rushing from the north, he didn't know whether it was out of instinct or something, and he couldn't help but widen his eyes - there were too many soldiers on the other side.

But when the other party approached and saw that the soldiers and horses were divided into several groups, with only a dozen cavalry in front of him. He couldn't help but be overjoyed. There were more than one hundred cavalry and six or seven hundred warriors around him, and he was worried that he could not deal with these just a dozen cavalry?

So, this capable general under Lu Jiude immediately led all his troops and rushed towards the north.

Lu Jiude saw his troops coming out, and his originally hung heart immediately let go, and he couldn't help but say proudly: "Even if you are a heavenly soldier and general, more than a dozen cavalry fight against hundreds of cavalry, you will never be able to win."

A moment later, on the plains north of Qinghe, two cavalry immediately collided head-on. Lu Jiude watched the two yellow dust interact together, and then there was a deafening sound of golden swords and iron horses colliding, shouting for killing, and the rumbling of heavy objects falling to the ground...

"Hahaha, it depends on how you break through the siege?" Lu Jiude now only had four cavalry left, but he felt that he was extremely safe.

However, before Lu Jiude was happy for too long, he suddenly saw a familiar figure - the Qiang Man with a tiger back and a huge skeleton, actually held a flag gun and killed out of the barrier of more than a hundred cavalry alone. The soldiers behind avoided it one after another, and no one dared to stop it.

I saw Xue Lao Er wearing three layers of armor and a silver-white bright helmet on his head. Under the sunlight, he shone brightly. Even the horse under his crotch was fully armed, wearing several layers of iron armor, and the flag gun in his hand was constantly bleeding.

Lu Jiude looked at the person in front of him and rode his horse resolutely. None of the hundreds of war soldiers dared to stop him. He was so nervous that he kept swallowing his saliva, and his eyes didn't even dare to leave for a moment.

At this moment, Lu Jiude, who was still extremely confident just now, had a blank mind. He couldn't understand: Why did he encounter so many incredible things today? Is this still a human being? How did he rush out?

It can only be said that Lu Jiude had never heard of Xue Crazy. He jumped three Qing cavalry alone, and they were all the most elite among the Eight Banners soldiers. One of them was Bayala Jiala Zhangjing. He killed three people in a few rounds and was just one of the legends he spread to the Beijing camp.

When he was fighting the Mongolian trap in Yulin, Xue Laoer's reputation became even more prominent. He often rode alone to capture the central army. When it comes to riding horses and shooting archery, the Mongols outside the border and outside the pass were not necessarily as good as him.

If the Ming army had not been corrupt and had no background and most of his achievements had been taken away by his superiors, he would not have been just a small official.

Of course, if it weren't for being summoned to the palace by Chongzhen later, perhaps Xue Laoer could have left more stories.

However, for the Ming court, who had been defeated repeatedly, perhaps he would fall into the formation in a battle to get out of seclusion and be forgotten by future generations.

But at this moment, Xue Laoer had already rushed out. Although the four cavalry around Lu Jiude were extremely scared, as Lu Jiude's personal guards, they still rushed forward without hesitation. There were still some people in this army who were willing to die for Lu Jiude.

However, the four cavalry howled and rushed north. As soon as they collided with Xue Laoer head-on, two of them were knocked off the horse by Du Fang. The armor on their chest was deformed by the gun head. The two cavalry were hit and fell heavily from the horse's back, spitting blood and fainting.

The other two couldn't see how Xue Lao Er made a move. Yun Wen had already passed them by. They both tried hard to stab the spear in their hands, but Xue Lao Er avoided them.

Xue Lao Er leaned back, but the flag gun in his hand swept across. As soon as the two of them made a move, they had no time to dodge and were already swept off the horse.

Such a single-soldier close combat is the time to test personal martial arts. Xue Laoer was born in Yulin and has been a soldier in his family for generations. His martial arts were achieved since childhood. No matter how fast or strength, how can these four people compare?

As for being used to seeing the world, thousands of troops were commanded, but they were still scared and stayed there. Lu Jiude, who was still motionless, was awakened by the screams of the last two cavalrymen.

But Lu Jiude did not choose to escape. He knew that he could not run anymore. The opponent's war horse was already at a high speed. At this distance, the horse under his crotch might have been stabbed to death before he could complete the speed up.

But Lu Jiude couldn't think too much, and Xue Laoer, who was already not far away, rushed up.

In a trance, Lu Jiude felt dizzy and was in horror. Then he fell off his horse and suddenly his eyes turned black and fainted on the ground.

After the cavalry, Lu Jiude's troops saw the scene in front of him and all scattered. At this time, the remaining cavalry under Xue Laoer had already rushed up. The group of dragons had no heads and lost confidence in fighting, Lu Jiude's troops dispersed directly.

Xue Laoer didn't care about going forward and stabbing the brave eunuch to death with a shot, so he hurriedly led the cavalry to continue rushing south to rescue the lord. The soldiers under his command had not yet rushed up and could only be used to intercept these chaotic soldiers.

Not only that, under Qinghe City, without waiting for the troops under Lu Jiude to come to support, Wang Chaodong, Wu Xingye, and Li Daxi had already led their troops to defeat Ma Huabao and Wang Hui. Their defeated troops directly disrupted the reinforcements of Lu Jiude's troops who had finally arrived, and eventually they were defeated like a mountain of defeat.

The Ming army has never lacked brave generals, nor has it lacked strong combat soldiers. It was just because of institutional and financial problems that hundreds of thousands of border troops did not have the ability to carry out large-scale field battles.

As long as these veterans and generals who survived to this day were able to survive, they would definitely not lack courage as long as they had enough money and food. Even if the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty arrived, the outcome was hard to say.

As the rebels were defeated, Xue Laoer attacked from the north. Although the reinforcements sent by Lu Jiude were quite complete and there were many soldiers, when he saw Lu Jiude falling off his horse, he had no intention of fighting again. He immediately threw away his armor and fled in all directions as the other defeated soldiers.

The rebels were defeated and there were thousands of remaining soldiers. Wang Chaodong, Wu Xingye, Li Daxi, and Xue Laoer all took advantage of the situation to pursue them, gathered their troops and horses, and then led their troops to gallop away.

Zhou Shixian also issued an order at the same time, and the surrendered ones did not kill them. The four military leaders all smelled the opportunity, one more enthusiastic, and almost all the troops in their hands were sent to "recruit surrender and accept rebels" to strengthen their strength.

At the city of Qinghe, there was a sound of calling, and the imperial guards guarding outside the frame of the emperor and empress cheered and then cheered on the city wall.

It was really a coincidence that the magistrate of Qinghe had just woken up at this moment, and then, with his head that had been bandaged for a long time, he immediately ordered the civilians to open the city gate to welcome him. It was a pure heart.

Zhou Shixian had no time to argue with him, so he arranged for Wu/weiying and Jinyiwei to escort the emperor and empress into the city, while he continued to preside over the end of the war outside the city.

Half an hour later, outside Qinghe City, most of Lu Jiude's defeated soldiers had surrendered, and a few had fled in the chaos.

Ma Huabao fled to the west with a dozen personal guards. Wang Hui surrendered, and Lu Jiude was arrested by Zhou Shixian and sent to the city for treatment.

But just as everything was about to end, a soldier suddenly appeared on the east side of Qinghe County, without any signs, and I don’t know what it was.
