As soon as He Luohui changed his offensive, the Qing army adjusted its entire front. A considerable number of troops appeared one after another and slowly retreated to the north. They maintained their formation and fought and retreated, not giving Hao a chance to destroy the enemy's formation in one go.
It should be said that in the Battle of Boye, He Luohui's overall command obviously underestimated the enemy. There were no sentries or reserves left to deal with the enemies behind them.
He probably thought that the Chuang army was confronting the Ming and Qing allied forces at Baigou River and would be unable to move south in a short time. Little did he know that the situation in the Baigou River battle had changed a lot. Li Laiheng and Hao Yaoqi moved south so fast that they were completely unprepared.
He Luohui’s predictions.
Only then did the Chuang army seize the opportunity to ride and plunder the enemy's formation under Boye City.
This is simply a replica of the Battle of Jingzhou in later generations, except that the positions of the enemy and ourselves have changed:
In the later Battle of Jingzhou, Li Guo personally led the remaining Zhongzhen Battalion of the Chuang Army to besiege Jingzhou. He Tengjiao of the Southern Ming Dynasty sent troops to garrison Yueyangkou to guard the retreat of the Chuang Army. As a result, He Tengjiao withdrew his troops and left without saying goodbye. Li Guo was completely unaware of the changes in the battlefield situation.
, did not make any exploration cavalry arrangements, and attacked Jingzhou with all their strength.
The general of the Qing army, Luck Dehun, led his elite troops and quickly went up the Shuojiang River. Taking advantage of He Tengjiao's absence without saying goodbye, he suddenly attacked Li Guo's back, causing the entire Chuang army that was about to succeed in attacking Jingzhou to collapse, resulting in numerous casualties.
The number of sacrifices of generals was even more tragic than the Battle of Shanhaiguan and the Battle of Tongguan.
Today, the historical position has changed. The Ming army surrendered general Chen Yongfu to defend the front line for Li Laiheng. However, due to the conflicts between Wu Sangui, Liu Zeqing and Abatai, the Ming and Qing coalition forces were unable to launch an offensive again to contain the main force of the invasion army.
All these changes in circumstances allowed Li Laiheng to calmly go south and attack the Qing army's retreat in time before the fall of Boye City!
"Destiny is in the army!"
Among the rebellious troops, Li Laiheng was holding the Jubilong waist knife and slashed wildly. The Jubilong waist knife was known as "auspicious" in the Qing Dynasty. Generals were often given this sword by the emperor before going on expeditions, and the generals who often carried swords to conquer were basically
They will all suffer a disastrous failure.
But then again, there was the so-called "Lu Zhizhu" in ancient times. But when Lu fell into Liu Bei's hands, not only did he not have Zhizhu, but he could also be the savior on a leaping horse. Perhaps it was not because Zhaolie had destiny, but because
Because Gongsun Zan set himself on fire, his minister Lu Bu died in Baimenlou, Yuan Shao followed Yuan Shao and Yuan Shao was depressed, Liu Biao and Liu Biao died, Liu Xuande himself was much more "auspicious" than Lu.
In this way, Li Laiheng really doesn't need to care about the story in the Qing Dynasty legend about Bi Bilong's waist sword that hindered the master.
The Chaos army's iron cavalry charged across the Qing army, trying their best to capture the retreating troops of the Qing army. Zhang Hong personally flew into the enemy's formation with two swords and charged back and forth. He Luohui directed the army to retreat north while trying to mobilize troops to intercept the retreat. He became even more anxious.
The eight thousand real Manchurian soldiers can absolutely, absolutely not be wiped out here.
He Luohui was still fighting bloody battles at the gap in the city wall, unaware that the situation behind him was undergoing earth-shaking changes. He Luohui would only seize this last opportunity and stage a farcical show of leaving without saying goodbye.
"Evacuate... retreat to the north!"
The Qing army formed a formation and moved north. In order to avoid being suddenly broken by the rebel cavalry during the retreat, the Eight Banners soldiers acted very cautiously, and the retreat speed could be said to be slow and slow.
He Luohui considered this point carefully, but it also gave Hao Yaoqi time to calmly arrange an interception. He quickly adjusted the infantry and cavalry array of the invading army. In addition to Zhang Hong leading a fine cavalry unit to rampage through the enemy formation, Hao Yaoqi
Waoqi himself and Li Laiheng led the main force of the invading army and moved to the northeast of the Qing army. While adjusting the front line, they forced He Luohui to move due north.
Guo Sheng had already led 1,000 of the 2,000 mule-mounted infantrymen of the Breaking Army and was standing ready on the north road of Boye City. When Hao waved his flag and launched his troops to violently attack the rear of the Qing army, Guo Sheng ordered his soldiers to fill bamboo baskets with sand.
Because the snow covered the ground too deep and it was inconvenient to dig trenches, the soldiers piled snow into walls and formed a solid "Jue North Road" defense line.
Although there were only a thousand infantry on the Chuang army's defense line, Guo Sheng's extremely strict organization made all the soldiers stand ready and fully prepared for battle.
The Qing army gradually retreated to the vicinity of the "North Road" in waves. Even if He Luohui planned carefully, it would be difficult to form a strong joint force in an instant. Since they could not break through the blocking line set by Guo Sheng in a short time, the huge number
In the process of retreating, the Eight Banners soldiers were forced to rush under the army's defense line. Like Fuguo Gongbo and Tuo, they were in a dilemma.
"Why are the rogue soldiers so good at guarding? The Hong thieves have bullied me too much. After returning to the north, they will definitely kill them!"
After Tan Tai, Ao Bai, Li Guohan and Yu Bilong, He Luohui also felt bad that he had been deceived by Hong Chengchou. He was so angry that he had no way to deal with Guo Sheng's blocking line, and finally reorganized his team
Unexpectedly, the retreating Qing troops were blocked by this line of defense. They suddenly lost their ground and the soldiers were all huddled together in a mess.
The intruder cavalry who were chasing after them quickly caught up with them, attacking from both sides, and they were about to die. He Luohui cried in his heart and held the handle of his knife tightly. He had no choice but to take the lead like Bo Hetuo, take the lead in fighting, and fight desperately.
We must break Guo Sheng's line of resistance.
There was never a shortage of warriors among the Eight Banners soldiers who could fight one against ten. Inspired by He Luohui, many Manchus braved the swords and spears of the invading infantry, pushed down the snow wall, and split the antlers.
Push forward hard.
Because the Qing army still had a slight advantage in local strength, in order to successfully withdraw from the battlefield, everyone also launched a desperate attack force. They actually broke into Guo Sheng's formation and struck with swords, knocking out the invading army.
The soldiers killed a lot of people.
He Luohui almost had the illusion that the Qing army could retreat unscathed, but Guo Sheng was also a veteran general. Even when he was commanding the Ming army, with corrupt financial and logistical support, he was able to block the Qing army from entering Guan, and still achieved some gains.
What's more, the supplies of food, fodder, and equipment are now complete, and the morale of the invading troops under his command is high.
Guo Sheng raised his sword and rushed to the snow wall in person. He beheaded the Eight Banners soldiers from a high position and led the soldiers around him to stabilize the position. The remaining infantrymen of the invading army also tried their best to fight back and started a fierce battle with the Qing army on both sides of the defense line.
.
It was difficult for the Eight Banners soldiers to advance, but more and more people were withdrawn from the rear. A large number of soldiers were blocked in a very small area in front of the army's defense line, making organization more and more difficult. The space was tight, and the Qing army gradually lost the ability to maneuver and roundabout.
Even if He Luohui has great power, it will be difficult to restore the order of the Eight Banners soldiers at this time, and the situation will be completely out of control.
When the rebel cavalry led by Li Laiheng and Hao Yaoqi arrived, the chaos of the Qing army was further aggravated. The spirit, will, and morale of the Eight Banners soldiers finally reached the edge of total collapse, and everyone was pushing each other.
The squeezed and melted snow turned the ground extremely muddy, and many Manchurians fell into the snow and mud.
Their heavy armors became a terrible burden at this time, making the soldiers breathless. One of the guards of the Heluo Society jumped forward to fight, but his legs soon became stuck in the snow.
The snow on the ground reached up to his knees, and the heavy armor pressed down, causing all the movements of his body to stagnate.
The infantrymen of the invading army seized the opportunity, stood down from a high position, and counterattacked with blunderbuss and spears, just like cutting straw, easily killing many Manchu warriors, one against ten.
He Luohui was completely stunned by the scene in front of him. Behind each of the fallen corpses represented a Manchu family. Even if he returned to Shengjing, the families of these war dead would still
