Huang Taiji didn't wait for his men to come to report, and couldn't help but gallop closer to observe.
The setting sun has already set behind the mountains and is completely invisible, leaving only the fiery red sunset glow in the west.
The sound of artillery in the middle of the mountain was no longer as dense as it was at first, and became a little sparse. At this time, most of the Ming army had entered the canyon. Jianlu was still fighting with the Ming army that had not entered the canyon, but no one came close to the canyon.
side, because that is the artillery bombardment range.
When Huang Taiji saw the duck in his mouth fly away, he was furious. Just then, Shi Shan and Azige saw the Khan flag moving forward and ran over quickly.
"Great Khan, the Ming army was brave, but our troops suffered heavy casualties." Daishan complained first.
"Great Khan, the Ming army's firearms are so powerful, most of the people with yellow flags were killed or injured!" Azig cried out.
"Shut up! Do you think I'm blind?" Huang Taiji had never been so rude before and roared loudly.
When Daishan and Azige saw Huang Taiji getting angry, they did not dare to speak and kept their heads down as they were being scolded.
"Aqig, your troops quickly go around the canyon and block the Ming army's retreat." Huang Taiji ordered while suppressing his anger.
The war is not over yet, so we can only try our best to make amends and see if we can keep the Ming army.
Azige was stunned when he heard this. Can this be circumvented? However, he did not dare to refute at this time, and he was content not to risk the artillery to attack the Ming army.
Aziger knew that his men had been frightened by the Ming army's firearms at this time. If he were allowed to attack again at this time, he would probably kill a group of generals. To be honest, he was unwilling to do this.
Azige immediately accepted the order and retreated. He didn't care whether the canyon could be bypassed or not. He would leave first.
After a while, Huang Taiji had controlled his anger and used honorifics, but said with a tone that could not be refused: "Brother, you send people to attack the Ming army from the north, so that it will be difficult to defeat the Ming army."
The weapons are powerful. Anyone who dares to be timid and refuses to fight will be beheaded in front of the battle."
Daishan knew that he could only obey the command of the Great Khan unconditionally at this time. This was the rule of the Great Jin. He remembered that when his father Khan was still there, this happened during the bloody battle of Hunhe. His father Khan said nothing and directly
After killing a group of generals who were afraid of the enemy and timid to fight, the morale of the Jin Army was restored.
"Okay." Daishan simply replied and left. Although he was following the order, he was still not very happy.
Huang Taiji turned to look at Duduo beside him, and called out: "Duduo."
"Yes, Khan." Duduo rode on his horse and replied with a fist in his hand.
"You will replace the Zhenglan Banner from the front and the south, stick to the Ming army, and kill as many as you can." Huang Taiji stared at him and ordered.
Duduo saw the situation on the battlefield and knew that he would definitely go there, so he readily agreed and led the army.
Huang Taiji's arrangement did not have much effect. The Ming troops who entered the canyon, as long as they were equipped with bows and arrows, stayed in the canyon, climbed up the mountains on both sides, and prepared to launch the prisoners after their colleagues entered the canyon.
At the New Army artillery camp halfway up the mountain, artillery was no longer being fired at this time. There were still three people in charge of a sports car. Two people were blocking it in front and one person was pulling it from the back. It went down to the bottom of the valley through the path that came up before.
Zhong Jinwei scanned the battlefield through the telescope for the last time. On the road that was more than ten miles long, most of the corpses lying on the ground were Ming soldiers. But he noticed one detail. Most of the Ming soldiers were not facing the west.
Lying down. That is to say, he did not run away and was killed, but died in battle.
He put away the telescope and sighed secretly, how many soldiers of the Ming Dynasty slept forever in this vast land, this land that originally belonged to their homeland.
Then a surge of anger arose. The damn traitor sacrificed the lives of so many of his colleagues to his new master. It was not an exaggeration to kill him with a thousand cuts.
"Master Hou, it's time to go." Li Laosi shouted from the side to urge Zhong to enter the guard.
After he was taught to read and write by Zhong Jin in Weitu's house for a period of time, he was finally taken with him this time.
Zhong Jinwei didn't waste any time, nodded and went down the mountain.
When all the Ming troops retreated to the mouth of the canyon, the Ming archers all over the mountain pass, under the command of Lu Xiangsheng, began to throw their bows and arrows for free, without any need for accurate aim, as long as the arrows passed over the heads of their comrades.
The Jianlu were unable to approach at all, and were soon isolated outside the canyon by the Ming army's arrow rain. They watched helplessly as all the Ming army's infantry retreated into the valley.
"Dang, dang, dang," the sound of thundering gold resounded in the valley, and the sky that was full of arrows suddenly disappeared.
When Jianlu saw it, he shouted and began to charge wildly, trying to catch up with the Ming army's archers.
But at this moment, several huge "boom" sounds came from the mountains on both sides of the canyon, and then rocks, trees, etc. rolled down the bottom of the canyon, crushing the fastest Jianlu to death in the canyon.
It turned out that Zhong Jinwei had asked the new soldiers to bury gunpowder on the mountains on both sides in advance. Once the archers withdrew, they ignited the gunpowder and collapsed the canyon, blocking Jianlu's pursuers.
At this time, it was already dark, and there was no way to cross the mountain to catch up. Huang Taiji had no choice but to retreat his troops.
Thinking that he had put so much thought into setting up such a big trap, but at the last moment, many Denglai Ming troops escaped and failed to achieve his planned strategic goal. This feeling of falling short made Huang Taiji's blood pressure rise.
It rises to the point where you still feel like vomiting blood.
Not to mention whether Huang Taiji vomited blood in the end, let’s just say that after the Ming army passed through the canyon, they arrived at the Yalu River.
Densely packed ships on the Yalu River were waiting for their arrival, and sailors on some of the ships were already on the shore, directing the newly arrived Ming troops to board the ships in sequence.
After the Denglai Ming army loaded up the bow of the boat, they headed for the center of the river. It was not until this time that the Ming army on the boat relaxed. They suddenly felt tired, hungry, and exhausted. Many Ming army officers and soldiers soon fell asleep sitting down.
It’s on.
On a cliff on the shore not far from the exit of the canyon, there is a large ship with three bows. The torch on the ship is blazing, illuminating a large area around it. Whether it is the flag on the ship or the sailors on the ship, it can be seen that it is not
Belongs to the Denlay Ming Army.
After the new soldiers withdrew, they went straight to the big bow ships. When the sailors on the ship saw it, they quickly got busy, set up a sampan and set it up on the cliff, and helped pull the artillery truck onto the ship.
Zhong Jinwei didn't have to worry about these things. After returning to the ship, he sent someone to find Lu Xiangsheng.
Lu Xiangsheng was among the last group to evacuate from the canyon. He felt relieved when he saw the troops withdrawing on boats to the center of the river in an orderly manner.
As long as all the soldiers were on board, Jianlu could only stare at him even if he chased them.
Only then did he think of Marquis Zhongxing, and hurriedly looked up to look for it. He saw the distinctive three-prow ship at a glance, and knew that Marquis Zhongxing must be there.
At this time, a Dongchang fan officer happened to see where the commander's flag with the character "Lu" was and came over to give him an order.
Lu Xiangsheng quickly arrived at Zhong Jinwei's place on the big ship. When he entered the hatch, he saw Zhong Jinwei sitting on the top smiling at him.
Suddenly his face turned red, with a look of shame all over his face, and his tall body knelt down directly at the door of the cabin: "Master Hou, I am an incompetent official. I suffered such a defeat. I have failed to honor the recommendation of the Marquis. I have failed to live up to it."
