The Ming army's rapid collapse was unexpected by the Eight Banners soldiers, and Ao Bai was very proud. The fatal blow that broke through Liu Zhaoji's car formation was his handiwork.
Many Baya Lajia soldiers had dispersed to pursue the fleeing Ming army. Occasionally, a few larger groups of defeated soldiers fled far away, and they had the courage to regroup, hoping to fight against the invincible might of the Eight Banners soldiers.
.
Obai was greatly amused by this weak and insignificant resistance. He chased and ravaged the Ming army, and used violent attacks like mountain torrents to completely defeat the half-hearted resistance of the Ming army.
The road was full of Ming army prisoners who were helpless. Many of them threw their armor on the ground in order to escape faster. They were half naked. Everyone was dejected, with despair and helplessness on their faces, showing a ridiculous scene.
appearance.
Oboi clamped his legs on the horse's belly and galloped past the large group of prisoners. His riding whip was supposed to be a tool to urge the horses forward, but now it became a weapon used to whip the Ming army prisoners to vent their arrogance of victory.
Most of these whipped prisoners had lost their spirit to fight. They had no hope for the future. They were about to be kidnapped and sent out of the prison. From then on, not only would they become slaves of the Manchus for life, but also their children for generations to come.
They will all have this fate, and they can only accept it helplessly.
But there are a few people among them. They are the heroes of Yiwu recruited by He Gang, a member of the Ming Dynasty who died heroically in the car formation. They are honest and capable miners, and there are also a few people who are just farmers, but they all have a
What they all have in common is that they have not been infected with the bad habits of veterans and still retain a kind of simple bravery.
This kind of bravery allowed one of the most courageous miners to seize the opportunity. Obai rode his horse and whipped his whip. In order to make each whip powerful enough to vent his desire that became more and more rampant due to victory, Obai whipped his horse every time.
The whip must be raised high first, swinging it in a full circle in mid-air, and then severely slapped on the prisoner's body.
When the riding whip was raised again, the unknown miner seized the opportunity. A piece of cloth armor on his body had not been stripped off by the Eight Banners soldiers. Although there was no weapon in his hand, there were countless Ming army corpses on the ground.
In his hand, he held many scattered weapons.
The miner quietly approached a Yan Ling knife. When Obai was arrogantly raising his whip, he suddenly picked up the Yan Ling knife and struck Obai's body with a slashing motion from bottom to top.
However, the three-layer armor worn by Baya Lazhangjing jammed the edge of the Yanling sword. Obai reacted and immediately pulled out the saber hanging on the side of the saddle. With strong anger and fear, he slashed
Kill the miners.
Then Oboi was still not satisfied, so he personally tied the miner's neck with a noose, dragged his body with a war horse, and showed it to the other prisoners.
But none of this could erase the shock and anger in Obai's heart. The ants' resistance made Obai feel strongly offended. This rising star with a yellow flag, who was appreciated by Huang Taiji, had a stubborn and irritable temper, so he decided to use a larger scale to
The killings were carried out in retaliation for the Ming army's miners who should not have had the idea of ​​resistance.
Ao Bai personally led several groups of Baya Lajia soldiers to chase the defeated Ming army. He did not forget Huang Taiji's teachings for those with intact hands and feet and strong bodies, and asked the Eight Banners soldiers to use lasso to kill these people.
Kidnapped.
But for those officers and soldiers who had been injured, Obai did not have such extra mercy. He ordered that once the pursuit encountered such injured prisoners, there was no need to take them back outside the pass, because the Qing army did not have the extra energy to take care of them.
These injured people were sent all the way to Shengjing, thousands of miles away.
For these people, killing them directly is the best way.
Ao Bai once expressed strong opposition to the killing game of Er Bilong, but his own approach to the "Pig, Sheep and Fruit Tree" didn't seem to be that clever.
At most, it's just a healthy young man whose feet and legs are intact.
Relying on the advantage of their horses, these chasing horses recklessly pursued and killed the fleeing soldiers of the Ming army. Night covered the earth like a big black cloth. Although Obai's men held a torch, they mainly relied on the sound of Manchu
and the neighing of war horses to identify friendly forces.
The defeated troops of the Ming army were basically infantry, without horses, and they were always crying like pitiful ghosts, which was easy to identify. There were such wailing sounds in the dark that made Obai feel happy, but he suddenly heard a
A measured, restrained voice.
This sound is completely opposite to the atmosphere shrouded in darkness and fog at this time.
Obai vaguely heard that there was a Chinese word for "wall" in it.
wall?
Where did the wall come from in the wilderness?
He pricked up his ears and wanted to listen more carefully, but the sound of more horse hooves crushing the earth shook Obai's ears like a mess.
"Don't misjudge the target and get frustrated only if you fail!"
Obai heard another Chinese sentence clearly, and he suddenly realized something. He instinctively took out the bow and arrow with both hands, and shot two arrows in succession into the darkness in the mist.
One of the arrows made the sound of sinking into the shield, and the other arrow seemed to have stabbed a war horse. Obai heard the horse neighing in pain, and then there was a thud and the sound of falling down.
But then the sound of more horse hooves, the scraping of armor leaves, and the sound of swords and guns clashing with each other all rushed out of the mist.
"Three Walls"
This time Obai finally heard the sound clearly, three walls? He still didn't understand where the three walls came from in the wilderness, but the dozen or so cavalrymen who rushed out of the fog made him understand that they were enemies.
The Qing army, intoxicated with their easy victory and wanton pursuit, never imagined that a group of well-organized, brave and difficult cavalry would suddenly rush out of the completely disintegrated Ming army.
They were so negligent that they did not even do the necessary scouting work at night, and all devoted themselves selflessly to the easy task of chasing down the remaining enemies.
If Obai's natural vigilance hadn't allowed him to shoot down an enemy cavalry immediately, these Eight Banners soldiers would have collided head-on with the enemy in the mist without any preparation.
Most of the Qing troops were frightened by the sudden sound of flags and drums. These strange flags and drums included not only the horns and conches commonly used by the Ming and Qing armies, but also some sharp trumpets.
These inexplicable chants made Obai's heart suddenly tremble. He felt that the dozen cavalrymen who suddenly rushed out of the fog in front of him were definitely not the Ming army.
Obai had fought against the Ming army countless times. With a glance, he could see that there was a subtle and vague difference between the temperament of these people and the general officers and soldiers of the Ming army.
who are they?
While thinking about this, Obai rushed forward with two forward armored soldiers. He used his personal bravery and martial arts to make up for the Qing army's surprise and withstood the enemy's surprise advantage.
But then the enemy cavalry took out their muskets one after another. Of course, Obai knew those exquisite weapons and the possible consequences of these weapons.
He was almost frightened and pressed his body tightly against the horse's back. There was a burst of gunfire, and two Baya Lajia soldiers who were running wildly were shot by handguns and fell off their horses.
Oboi's body was tightly crouched on the horse's back, and the horse did not stop even half a step. He was the first to crash into the enemy's formation. When the remaining Eight Banners cavalry saw Obai rushing over, they also rushed into the enemy's queue.
.
The soldiers of the Eight Banners stabbed and slashed quickly with their spears and sabers, knocking three enemy cavalry off their horses in the blink of an eye. However, the formation of the enemy cavalry was quite dense. After Obai and others rushed in, they discovered that the horses lacked room to turn and leap.
, they all hinder each other, making it difficult to charge out.
Several spears came at them at the same time, and Obai relied on his martial arts to dodge, but there was still a forward armored soldier whose martial arts was not inferior to that of Batulu, who was knocked off his horse by the spears that suddenly poked out.
In the melee, fallen soldiers are often immediately trampled to death by galloping horses, or crushed alive by various corpses, or suffocated to death. Only the luckiest people can save their lives after falling from their horses and barely stand up to continue fighting.
.
During the melee, Oboi discovered that there were not many enemy cavalry. He whistled, and several old comrades came over and worked with him to pull the enemy cavalry off their horses with lassoes.
Then they swarmed forward, and just before approaching the attack range of their spears, they suddenly raised their bows and fired arrows. A dense rain of arrows erupted at a very close range, killing many enemy riders in an instant.
Obai felt that he could take a breath first. He looked in all directions, and after confirming that the number of enemy cavalry was only this, and victory was within his grasp, he said:
"Where did these people come from? Why haven't all the people of the Ming Dynasty been killed yet?"
No one could figure this out. Before they could celebrate the victory of this sudden encounter, roars, shouts, gongs and drums, the clang of weapons touching each other and the chaotic sound of horse hooves surrounded them from all directions.
Obai was shocked, and a bold guess emerged in his mind: A bandit?
The fog blocked everyone's vision, and more than a hundred cavalrymen did not expect that they would come into contact with the enemy so quickly, so that they themselves were in a scattered pursuit state.
Now it depends on who can mobilize the troops faster, and who can realize the full picture of the conflict and battlefield quickly.
"These people are thieves!"
Obai's reaction speed was the fastest, but there were only less than a hundred Eight Banners soldiers around him at this time, and there were obviously many more new enemies appearing in the fog.
