But Chang Yu, who was waiting at Yegukou in the north, heard the sound of cannons shortly after seeing the Qing army's rear column enter the mountain road, so he jumped up and ordered to take action.
The Gongzi camp and the infantry battalion, which had endured the cold wind all night, sprang out of the valley like beasts, turned around and ran wildly towards the mountain road a few miles to the east.
The 300 men and horses of the Gongzi camp and the 200 elite cavalry of the Jinwu Guards, led by Tu Yuan and Jia Waixiong, took the lead and were the first to enter the mountain road. The 3,000 men and horses of the infantry battalion, under the personal leadership of Chang Yu, also howled and howled.
Killed him.
When he was about to enter the mountain road, Chang Yu turned his head and looked towards the Qing army camp in the north. Sure enough, he saw a group of cavalry leaving the camp and heading straight for this way.
They knew that even if the Qing army moved out, a force of troops would remain behind to guard the camp. They knew that once they showed up, they would be discovered by the remaining troops in the military camp, who would come to rescue them.
To be precise, they are here to die! Chang Yu had a ruthless look on his face: "Tie Zhu, I leave this group of troops to you. Remember that the infantry battalion cannot be dispersed and must concentrate its firepower to exert its maximum power."
The Shenji Battalion has three arms, four hundred artillery, one thousand cavalry, and the rest are infantry.
The infantry battalion has more than 3,000 people, each armed with a musket, which is also their main battle weapon.
As Chang Yu said, the individual combat of this infantry battalion is almost negligible. Not to mention that they have almost no actual combat experience before. Secondly, their main weapon is firecrackers. Firecrackers are not flintlock rifles. Loading and firing are troublesome.
It takes a lot of effort, it will be scattered, or it will have no combat effectiveness at all when fighting alone.
But if you gather these people in one place and fire three thousand muskets at once, even the strongest Qing cavalry on the surface will only seek death.
The original two ministers of the infantry battalion, Chang Feng and Wei Zhitong, only played the role of squad leader at this time. The new commander was Li Tiezhu, whose main tasks were to ambush the Qing reinforcements and provide long-range fire support.
As for the tasks of close combat and hand-to-hand combat, the elite cavalry of Gongziying and Jinwuwei were responsible for the task.
That's right, they only have 500 riders!
The little eunuch’s mantra for commanding the troops is six words: it’s not about having too many soldiers, it’s about having the best!
It's too early to tell whether these five hundred men are good or bad, but they were all fierce soldiers who followed the young eunuch during the battle in Taiyuan and charged into the battle, killing the bandit army with blood!
Who is stronger between the rebel army and the Qing army? We have to wait until the Gongzi camp is killed before we can draw a conclusion.
The mountain road was crowded, and the fighting in front was fierce. People were everywhere in the mountains and fields, and the sound of Jin Ge's killings was heard in every ear. Wu Sangui poured out an entire city of troops and crushed them with a large force. The Qing troops in the valley retreated one after another, but the Qing troops behind them retreated.
It was difficult to move forward to provide support for a while. When I was extremely anxious, suddenly there was a deafening sound of horse hooves from behind. Looking back, I saw a cavalry charge.
What's funny is that these Qing troops didn't react for a while. They thought it was Nikan who was guarding the camp and came to the rescue after hearing the news. They didn't even realize how he came so quickly because they were all focused on how the battle was going ahead.
.
It wasn't until the group of troops reached within a hundred meters that someone suddenly realized something was wrong. What was wrong?
The military uniform is wrong!
Unfortunately, the Ming army came from behind.
We were ambushed...
The reaction was a little slow, and the arrows rained like locusts, flying like an overwhelming force to kill the panicked and unprepared Qing army. In an instant, the rear line was in chaos.
Tu Yuan waved his sword, brothers, kill the Tatars!
Jia Waixiong shouted: Brothers will make great achievements today.
Immediately, the two most powerful generals under the little eunuch led their troops straight into the enemy's formation and killed them.
However, it is said that after Chang Yu handed over to Li Tiezhu, he rushed towards the mountain road on horseback. Kuang Ren led fifty archers and more than ten personal guards including Fan Jiaqian to accompany him.
Entering the mountain road, I saw that the Gongzi camp had already entered the enemy's formation. The Qing troops who were attacked from both sides were frightened and ran in all directions, fleeing all over the mountains and ridges.
The mountain trail is too crowded and the visibility is poor.
"Go to the high ground!" Chang Yu shouted loudly, and led the crowd on horseback up the west side. Looking up from a high position, the ten miles of mountain road were full of fighting figures. The horses neighed and the soldiers roared. It was so exciting and tragic! What a world.
Purgatory.
"Master Governor, where should the Tatar General be?" Wu Zhao, who was following Chang Yu, stretched out his hand and pointed to the middle of the mountain road, where there was a big flag flying!
Kill him! Chang Yu can just slap him!
Fan Jiaqian and Kuang Ren looked at each other and were shocked. The young governor was going deep into the enemy's formation to take the enemy's general's head. However, there were only these personal guards around him. It was a bit overwhelming. He thought to himself and looked down.
On the way, Tu Yuan and Jia Waixiong were like magic soldiers descending from the sky. They killed the Qing troops and fled in all directions. No one dared to attack them head on. At this time, they were already more than two miles deep.
"Old Jia, follow this governor to slaughter the Tatar general." The little eunuch did not dare to go deep into the enemy's position with his big brother alone. He rode his horse fast on the hillside while shouting loudly to Jia Wai Xiong who was fighting on the mountain road.
"Little Yuanzi, I'll leave this to you. I'm going to help the superintendent with his big work." Jia Waixiong heard the little eunuch's shout and said hello to Tu Yuan. He waved his long knife and led the crowd straight in along the mountain road.
Go south and kill.
He was chopping along the mountain road, and the little eunuch was also busy on the hillside. He couldn't kill any enemies with the long swords in his hands. The tough archers behind him shot all their arrows without missing a beat, killing a piece of them in the blink of an eye.
The eunuch opens the way.
"Wu Sangui, you bastard, I'm going to tear you apart, eat your flesh, and drink your blood..." Abatai was so angry that he was trembling all over on the hillside. There was chaos behind the formation, and suddenly a group of people came and blocked them from the front and back.
The army was so disorganized that the morale of the army was in chaos, and they were attacked from the front and rear. They were retreating steadily and had no way to retreat. The soldiers had to flee all over the mountains and plains.
But at this time, he still didn't understand that Wu Sangui had been plotting against him from beginning to end!
"Why are you back? Why didn't you kill me?" Just when Abatai was gnashing his teeth and furious, he suddenly saw Haug coming back, and he couldn't help but roared.
"Uncle Seventh King, there are so many Ming troops that we can't stop them from the front. There are people everywhere, and even my men and horses can't get through!" Hauge looked anxious, and suddenly looked north and was shocked: "Why are you behind...we were ambushed?"
!”
"Wu Sangui, this shady grandson, obviously can't beat us, so he can only use this shady trick. Each damn Han is more shady than the last." Abatai was already furious at this time, and kept cursing, but in the face of
In this situation, he couldn't think of any way to counterattack. If he was outside the mountains and the cavalry was fighting in the field, he would have nothing to fear. If there was no ambush behind him and he would fight alone in the valley, although Wu Sangui relied on his strength,
It's impossible to eat him, even if you can't defeat him, you can still run away.
But now we are being attacked from both front and back, with no way to retreat and no way to advance. Let's fight hard. We don't have the advantage in terms of troops. More importantly, the morale of the army is in chaos at this time and may collapse at any time. If morale cannot be re-invigorated in a very short period of time, once the morale of the military collapses,
, and then they fled, with little chance of survival!
"Uncle Seventh King, what should we do?" Hauge said anxiously: "The front and rear routes are blocked, let's break through the mountains from both wings."
"That is a dead end. There is the sea to the east and mountains to the west. Wherever you go to escape, if the army is defeated, it will only be slaughtered by the Ming army one by one. Now we can only forcefully fight a bloody road in front and behind." Abatai yelled and looked to the south.
In the past, the Ming army pressed heavily on the territory, densely packed over the mountains and plains, and the Qing army was defeated one after another.
"Kill to the north." Abatai gritted his teeth and made the decision. There were too many Ming troops in the south. If he wanted to fight his way to the sky, there would be no doubt that he would have a chance to go north, because he firmly believed that the Ni who were left behind in the camp at this time were
Damn, I must have come to the rescue after hearing the news.
In this way, the Ming army in the north seemed to have blocked its own retreat, but after Nikan arrived, the Ming army truly became Roujiamo. This was the only chance to counterattack!
Hauge was able to figure it out, and the panic on his face became much lighter, and he even sneered: "Uncle Qi Wang, I will go to the north to open a road, and you can direct the south road here to delay the Ming army's attack as much as possible."
"If you want to hurry up, I'm afraid it won't take too long here." Abatai looked at the Ming army coming in like huge waves from the south, his face was filled with despair!
