The east wing of the Qing army collapsed after only one round of shelling.
The Tatars never expected to be hit by such firearms. The bloody scene was so terrible that they lost their fighting spirit. A thousand people were killed in one fell swoop. How much blood would it take to charge forward? They didn't dare
Instead of rushing forward, he panicked and fled back the way he came.
Like crabs receding on the beach, five thousand East Wing Tatars scurry around with their heads in their hands.
The Tatars rushed to the place where they dismounted, snatched the horses, and fled away. The scene of snatching the horses was very chaotic. Han soldiers, Korean soldiers, and Mongolian soldiers struggled with each other for the horses. Although these soldiers were still fighting for the horses.
They didn't dare to fight with the bannermen, but they were obviously out of order after being defeated by the cannon.
In the center of the Qing army, Yubeile Abatai, the great Qing rao, looked at the collapsed east wing in stunned silence.
Is this a defeat? Isn’t it just the beginning? Your warriors collapsed before they even touched the enemy?
He led a group of soldiers and horses to plunder Gaoyang County. The county seat was not taken, but was defeated by the Ming army with a single blow? If this matter spreads, how can Abatai gain a foothold in Xiangbai Banner in the future.
How come the Ming army on the opposite side has so many cannons, and how can they fight this battle?
Abatai wanted to personally go into battle to sort out the defeated troops and charge at the Ming army on the east wing, but the black muzzles of the Ming army's formation made him feel cold. This was a Ming army that Abatai had never encountered before.
Army, the shape of this war has changed in a direction that Abate cannot understand.
Where did this Ming army come from, and why was it so powerful?
Abatai suddenly remembered Yangu Li. It is said that Yangu Li was defeated by a Ming army full of firearms. Could it be that he encountered this Ming army?
After the Ming army on the east wing on the opposite side defeated the east wing of the Qing army, it began to outflank the middle. The Qing army was originally small in number, and it was impossible to stop it when encountering such a powerful Ming army. The three thousand Qing troops in the middle would obviously be defeated soon.
, the whole army collapsed in front of them. A Jia La Zhangjing in front of Abatai pulled Abatai's horse and said loudly: "Baylor, you lose! Leave quickly!"
Abatai looked at the scene on the battlefield, and his heart seemed to be bleeding. After escaping, how many of his troops would be hunted down by the Ming army? Abatai seemed to have seen the scene of the emperor punishing himself in anger. Maybe,
I can’t even keep my Baylor title!
But the defeat has been decided. Letting the soldiers escape and reducing losses is the only thing Abatai can do at the moment.
"Ming Jin! Retreat your troops!"
Abatai roared loudly and rode his horse to flee south. Under his leadership, the five hundred Chinese army turned their horses and fled south as well.
On the battlefield, the Qing troops on the central and west wings had just entered a fighting state when they suddenly heard the order to withdraw. They were inexplicably surprised. When they looked back, they saw the collapsed east wing and the Chinese army fleeing in embarrassment.
What's going on? Didn't the fighting just start?
But no matter what, the battle was lost. The Tatars no longer had the fighting spirit, so they abandoned the Ming army one by one and retreated to the place where they dismounted. However, although they retreated, they did not collapse, and they still retreated in an organized manner. As they retreated
While turning around, he shot arrows to drive back the pursuing Ming army, then mounted his horse and fled to the south.
The three generals on the west wing didn't know what happened. They only knew that after the roar of cannons, the Qing army retreated one after another. In any case, the balance of victory had already tipped to the Ming army! The three
The general soldier excitedly rushed out on horseback and led the cavalry to chase the Tatars.
Wang Pu, the commander-in-chief of Datong, was inexplicably excited. This was a rare opportunity to pursue the enemy! Sure enough, if he followed Li Zhi's troops to kill the enemy, he would have the opportunity to make meritorious deeds! Holding the boring palladium, he took the lead and rushed to the front of Jing Ding's team. He was hacked to death.
After the two Qing auxiliary soldiers who failed to grab their horses, he continued to chase south, towards the Tatars who were riding their horses south.
But the Tatars are not so easy to chase. The Tatar archers turn around and shoot a few arrows from time to time, and can even shoot down the chasing Ming army cavalry. But when has Wang Pu chased the Qing army so smoothly? At this time, he was eager to make a contribution, and all of a sudden
Forgetting personal safety, he led his servants into the back of the Tatar team and fought with the Tatars at the back.
What Wang Pu bit was a Qing army of more than a hundred people, who had been shooting arrows at the rear of the Tatar army. The Tatars did not break up, but retreated when they heard the sound of gold. They were still able to form an organization and Wang Pu's family.
But they fought with Wang Pu's servants for a while, and then the large group of Ming troops behind them came and killed them. Finally, these Qing troops were surrounded by large groups of Ming army cavalry.
These Qing soldiers' eyes were bloodshot as they roared and charged back and forth in the Ming army's formation, killing three or four of Wang Pu's servants. The momentum of the trapped beasts making it impossible for Wang Pu's servants to hold them down for a while.
However, more and more Ming troops surrounded the outside, and the archers of the Ming army began to shoot arrows at these Qing troops. The bowstrings rang, and the Tatar soldiers were hit by arrows one after another and fell off their horses.
Wang Pu laughed loudly. He ordered ten soldiers to go up and cut ranks. He led his servants and rode towards the Qing army in the distance.
Yang Guozhu, Hu Dawei, and more than 3,000 cavalrymen from Lu Xiangsheng also rushed out to chase the Qing army. These cavalrymen galloped on the North China Plain, chasing the Tatar cavalry who fled in embarrassment.
Li Zhi's vanguard regiment was also chasing the Qing army. The cavalry of the vanguard regiment had rifles. They could rush within two hundred meters of the Qing army and kill the cavalry in front. There was no need to fight with the Tatars, so the pursuit efficiency was very high.
The vanguard group pursued for more than ten miles south and killed more than a thousand Tatar soldiers who were gradually falling behind.
What's more troublesome is that every time you kill a Qing army, you have to dismount immediately and cut off your rank. Otherwise, there is a high chance that Wang Pu's servants will cut off your rank.
After chasing for more than ten miles, the Ming army's cavalry stopped chasing. At this time, the Ming army's infantry had fallen ten miles away from the cavalry. There were only more than 6,000 Ming army cavalry chasing them. If the Tatars' more than 10,000 troops and horses turned around,
If the horse heads come to surround the Ming army's cavalry, the situation will be reversed.
The Ming troops watched the Qing troops flee from a distance, feeling both proud and regretful.
The results of this battle were very gratifying. Wang Pu rode back and forth on the battlefield, calculating his gains, and finally he got a number that made his eyes shine: level three hundred and twenty-three!
Wang Pu triumphantly patrolled the battlefield and finally found Li Zhi.
"General Longhu, how many levels have you achieved?"
Li Zhi turned around and asked Xue Sanku: "How many levels have we hunted?"
Xue Sanku replied: "General, we have hunted down one thousand one hundred and twenty levels!"
Li Zhi replied: "Including the 1,071 levels before the battle, my soldiers have achieved 2,191 levels!"
Wang Pu was stunned. He didn't expect that Li Zhi had achieved so many levels. He slapped Li Zhi on the chest with praise and said, "What a good guy!"
But he soon became proud again and said loudly: "General Longhu, I also achieved level 320! Hahahaha!"
