The troops of the Qing Dynasty rushed in and immediately helped Nikan up. Dorobele was shot by the bandits. It was not known whether he was dead or alive. He was wounded in several places by bullets and his blood flowed endlessly. The Qing Dynasty finally arrived.
The military generals were really furious at Kang Dahai and other guards who neglected their duty, and almost wanted to execute these people on the spot.
It was only thanks to a young Eight Banners general, Zhu Mala, who persuaded everyone that Kang Dahai escaped death.
Zhumala dismounted himself and helped Kang Dahai and others up. He asked the guards to take off their armor, revealing the countless battle wounds and scars on their bodies. He said generously and bluntly: "These guards are all warriors of my country.
, dozens of people fought fiercely with hundreds of bandits. How many enemies did they kill? Baile was ambushed by bandits. This is a failure of our generals. How can we blame it on the guards who fought desperately? Nonsense!"
Zhu Mala is worthy of being one of the Eight Banners generals who led the army to counterattack Zheng Chenggong in the history of Li Laiheng's later generations. His ability to comfort the soldiers can be said to be quite brilliant.
After Kang Dahai received Zhumala's commendation, he was deeply moved. On his back, chest, arms and thighs, wounds from the bandits could be seen everywhere. The same was basically true for other guards, and no one had the cowardice to escape.
appearance.
"Dorobele was only injured and fainted. It seems that there is no fatal injury. The army is here to rest for a while... Well, we should send a scout cavalry south to investigate the military situation in the Nirvana area. The army will rest on the spot for a while. Wait until
After the military situation in the south is clear and correct, we can continue to go south."
Now that Nikan was seriously injured, the movements of this army were slowed down. Zhumala felt that both sides needed to pay attention, so he suggested that the army rest first and sent someone to send the news of Nikan's attack and injury back to Huangtaiji.
At the same time, we must send out reconnaissance cavalry to the main camp to pay attention to the battle situation in the south.
This kind of treatment can be regarded as taking into account various situations. But Zhumala didn't know that at this moment, the most important time was being lost minute by minute.
The balance of power has shifted in a tilted direction.
The summer wind makes the weeping willows by the river flutter, but this summer wind is no more refreshing and pleasant than the storm caused by the galloping horses of Hao Yaoqi.
Hao Yaoqi had overfulfilled his mission. He didn't know whether the Shun army had successfully killed Nikan Beile this time. But there was no doubt that the main force of the Qing army had temporarily stopped because of the attack on Nikan.
steps.
He has already won for Li Laiheng, which is many times more time than he had imagined before!
Hao Yaoqi's mission was originally to monitor the movements of the Qing army in the north. God knows how he came up with the brilliant idea of a false surrender and ambush.
Although the Dashun Army's victory was not as smooth and successful as their false surrender due to the desperate resistance of the Manchurian Guards, everyone still deeply admired Hao Yaoqi's quick wit.
Hao Yaoqi himself tightened the reins and galloped wildly, all his joy contained in the laughter along the way.
Who can say that Hao Yaoqi is just a ruthless and ruthless general?
He was both rough and subtle, and this time he really caused the Qing army to suffer a big loss.
Hao Yaoqi knew that the time window had now fallen to Shunjun's side, so he stopped making any stops and galloped back to the battlefield near Nirvana Pass with all his strength.
The battle in the south also reached a fever pitch at this time. The impact of the two cavalry units of Liu Fangliang and Gu Kecheng had been completely exhausted. The battle between the Shun Army and the Qing Army turned into a pure consumption of flesh and blood.
The knights on both sides have extraordinary skills, but there is no doubt that the courage and martial arts of the Manchu Cavalry on the Qing Army's side are superior to the Three Walls Cavalry of the Dashun Army.
If Guo Sheng hadn't led a group of infantry to come up with timely reinforcements, Liu Fangliang, who always strived to take the lead and moved forward bravely, would have almost faced a defeat in front of the battle.
The battle was in full swing, and Lieutenant General Li Laiheng led another group of Dashun infantry to make a detour to the side and rear of the enemy's front line. He was currently anxious about two points. The first point was Liu Fangliang, Gu Kecheng, and Guo Shengsan at the forefront.
Whether this force can contain all the Qing troops so that they have no time to think back; the second point is when the Qing reinforcements from the north will arrive on the battlefield.
Hebei is flat and has no obstacles, so the Qing army's mobility advantage can be fully utilized. Li Laiheng could even predict that the Qing army would rush to the battlefield from the north, and a new force would suddenly join in, causing the Dashun army to immediately collapse.
That would really replicate the situation of the Battle of Shanhaiguan.
But he believed Hao Yaoqi's promise. As long as Hao Yaoqi did not bring news and told him that Qing reinforcements from the north had arrived, Li Laiheng would be fully confident that the Qing army was indeed trapped by Hao Yaoqi.
Hao Yaoqi is such a frank and direct person. Of course Li Laiheng believes in his promise!
"It's our turn!"
Li Laiheng unsheathed his long sword. He did not ride a horse, but prepared to fight on foot like other Shun soldiers. These circuitous and sneaking Da Shun soldiers finally reached a perfect position that could cut off the retreat of the Qing army. Li Laiheng planned a plan.
The battle was similar to the annihilating victory of the Battle of Mancheng during the Song-Liao War.
Liu Fangliang and Gu Kecheng shouldered the important responsibilities of Liu Tinghan and Cui Han during the Song-Liao War, while Li Laiheng himself played the role of Cui Yanjin.
Woo——
The infantrymen of the Shun Army first blew their horns, and then raised all the previously hidden flags high, while the trumpeters in the front row raised their charge horns high.
Dududududududu——
Accompanied by the shrill trumpet sound like a dead migratory bird, Li Laiheng was the first to leap forward with a knife, and the infantry of the army rushed out with all their strength. The team of thousands of people was like a wave, rolling towards the center of the battlefield.
The whole situation collapsed in just a moment.
Tong Tulai reacted the fastest. He was the first to discover the bandit troops attacking from the side and rear. However, the entire Qing army had been restrained by the three troops of Liu Fangliang, Gu Kecheng, and Guo Sheng.
The reserve team can take action at this time to save the front from disintegration and collapse.
The faces of Tun Qi, Tang Tong and others also changed drastically. Of course Tang Tong knew what the banner of the Shun Army raised behind him and the possible chant meant.
If we are not careful now, this Qing army is in danger of being wiped out.
It is not just the threat of Li Laiheng attacking from the side and rear. You must know that the Dashun Army also has many camp strongholds on the retreat road of the Qing army.
Once the main force of the Qing army collapsed, their defeated army would be constantly blocked by the defenders of these camps and fortresses on the way back north. The saying that a horse cannot return north is probably not an empty lie.
Tunqi's expression was horrified. He did not care to continue fighting a pointless battle of attrition with the main force of the Shun army's infantry and cavalry in front of him. He hurriedly led a group of guards to turn their horses around and turned around to fight against the rear team.
But at this time, Dashun's army was attacking from both front and back, like a millstone. The Qing army's front line was squeezed from both sides, and the men and horses were crowded together. The space for maneuver was greatly compressed. Tunqi could not even find a way to kill the rear team.
The road is gone!
After all, Tong Tu Lai is an experienced general. He knows that the Qing army is in a critical situation now and is very likely to face the tragic situation of the Battle of Dangshan and the Battle of Baigou River again - it may even be more critical than that.
"All armies must not retreat, stabilize the front first! Tang Tong... you lead the troops to charge eastward, seek opportunities to break the siege, and gather all your troops to protect the northern flank of Tang Town!"
Tong Tu Lai knew that the most unstable unit among the Qing army at this time was Tang Tong's troops. If Tang Tong was left on the front line to contain Liu Fangliang, the Manchu soldiers would break away first, and the Han soldiers under Tang Tong would inevitably collapse and surrender.
, in the end it will only hinder the Manchurian soldiers who broke through early and cannot escape.
Therefore, he decided to use Tang Tong's returning Han soldiers as the main force to break out of the encirclement. However, in order to prevent Tang Tong's troops from being directly routed and scattered during the breakout process, Tong Tu Lai asked Tun Qi to lead a small number of troops to guard the northern flank of the Ming army.
In fact, it was to block the direction in which these Han soldiers could break up and flee.
