On the west bank of the Xun River, more than ten thousand flint-haired muskets fired in turn. The fierce firepower was like a storm, violently tearing apart the Han army's Zhengbai Banner formation, killing and wounding the traitor soldiers layer by layer.
Wu Shoujin was currently behind a pile of artillery shells as tall as a man, and the sound of lead bullets hitting the shells kept coming to his ears. It was so harsh that every blow made Wu Shoujin's heart tremble.
Wu Shoujin was seen squatting behind the pile of shells with his head in his hands, shouting nervously, while countless Han troops with white flags and horses around him were fleeing backwards. The 5,000 gunners of the Qing army who had previously been fighting against the new army's rear battalion's large horizontal array also completely collapsed at this time.
When the first row of new gunmen fired a salvo, one-third of the Qing gunmen were killed, and the remaining Qing soldiers dispersed immediately. The five thousand Qing gunmen were defeated so quickly that Wu Shoujin was stunned and subconsciously hid here.
"How is that possible? My Wu Zhen Chao Ha Ying warrior with a white flag cannot be so vulnerable!"
At this time, each banner of the Han army had an artillery team equipped with fifty artillery pieces and five thousand gunmen. The Qing army called these firearms armies the Wuzhenchaoha camp, which is not true. Form a separate battalion of soldiers and horses.
Although Wu Shoujin couldn't accept it in his heart, this was the fact. The Qing soldiers who were constantly fleeing around him and being shot by the new army's cannons were examples of this.
"Woo~woo!"
Suddenly, horns sounded simultaneously on the north and south sides of the Han army with white flags and horses. Wu Shoujin's eyes suddenly lit up: The Qing cavalry had finally arrived!
I saw the Mongolian white flag Gushan Ezhensuna leading eight thousand cavalry and rushing to the east of the Han army. The Mongolian soldiers began to
He cursed loudly and angrily at the defeated troops who took in the Han army flag.
At the same time, Tumed Right Banner's Gushan'e Zhen'emu Buchuhu'er led 7,000 cavalry to fight from the north, and Tumed's Left Banner's Gushan'er Zhenshanba led 7,000 cavalry to fight from the south. An army of cavalry rushed directly to the large horizontal formation of the rear camp of the New Army.
Eight thousand Manchurian cavalry with white flags led by Duduo also arrived on the west bank of the Xun River and were supervising the battle from behind.
Duduo was surprised when he looked at the defeated Han army's flag troops and horses. He did not expect that the reorganized Han army's white flag troops and horses, and the Wuzhen Chaoha camp equipped with sophisticated firearms, would be defeated so quickly. Could it be that the Qing Dynasty Is the firearms army really inferior to Liu Yan's tribe?
"Tell Wu Shoujin, that dog slave, to get to the back immediately and collect the defeated troops in order to fight again!"
"嗻!"
"Tell Suna to stop dawdling. When the two wings of cavalry come into contact with the Ming army, he will immediately lead his troops to charge forward."
"嗻!"
Soon, three cavalry armies of the Qing army charged towards the rear camp of the New Army. Upon seeing this, Wang Yue immediately ordered the army to stop advancing and shoot the enemy troops on the spot.
"Left and right change directions and shoot the enemy cavalry on both wings!"
Wang Yue had veins popping up on his forehead at this time. This battle was too tense and there was no calmness in fighting the Qing army in the past. It was completely an encounter. Neither the Qing army nor the New Army soldiers had any preparations. Both sides were He improvised and went into battle shirtless.
"put!"
The more than 10,000 gunners in the rear camp continued to fire volleys. The soldiers on the left and right used volleys to block the Mongolian cavalry of the outer vassal on both wings. The soldiers in the center fired a volley at the Mongolian cavalry with a white flag.
And the cavalry of the Qing army did not rush and fight blindly. After all, we did not have any troops at this time.
The shield chariot accompanied them. Those Qing army cavalry galloped back and forth in front of the new army's formation, using their bows to throw rain of arrows to kill the new army soldiers.
The two sides continued to shoot at each other without giving in, and the battle was fierce!
"Boss, are you okay?"
Shen Wen lowered his head suddenly and used the fine steel helmet on his head to resist the next arrow. The huge force hit Shen Wen's eyes with stars. The armors and helmets on the surrounding companions also kept crackling and making noises from time to time. The comrade was hit by an arrow in his vital part, and fell down with a groan, and was immediately dragged down by the heavy baggage soldiers waiting in the formation.
There were also three or four arrows hanging on the armor on Lao Bai's body, but they were all blocked by the sophisticated armor and did not penetrate. However, the huge force of several arrows made Lao Bai's chest hurt. When he spoke, His voice was hoarse: "Dog Tatar, I'm fine, keep shooting and kill them!"
The soldiers of the new army continued to fire volleys at the Qing cavalry who had to rush within a hundred steps to fire arrows. Qing soldiers and cavalry of various banners were constantly shot and fell off their horses. The originally neat cavalry formation slowly began to become scattered. stand up.
Duduo frowned when he saw this, and his face became increasingly ugly. His strategy of using three lines of cavalry to attack at the same time was also miscalculated. Judging from the current approximate battle damage situation, the number of casualties on the New Army's side was far lower than that of our own side. Warrior, if this continues, defeat will only be a matter of time!
"Why don't we withdraw?"
Duduo had the intention of quitting. It seemed that he was still too naive. He wanted to defeat the first unit of the New Army and use his military exploits to increase his leverage in the court, but in fact he did not have the strength.
"It seems that Prince Rui is right, we must preserve our strength!"
At this time, Wu Shoujin sent someone to report that the Han army
The troops and horses had been reorganized, and Duduo immediately ordered Wu Shojin to lead his troops forward to establish a defense line in front of the Manchurian army with white flags.
After receiving the order, Wu Shoujin couldn't help but his face collapsed, and he bravely led his troops forward. At this time, the Han army's 15,000 soldiers and horses were only a little over 10,000, and everyone was in danger. They had long lost the vigor they had when they first entered the pass. , when moving forward, everyone was complaining.
Suddenly, there was a sound of horns from the north, and then the Tumut Right Banner, which was shooting at the rear camp of the New Army in the north, was in chaos. A large number of Mongolian cavalry began to flee, and even the large banner of Gushan Ezhen'ombu Chuhuer Also moved quickly towards the direction of the Chinese army.
"W-what's going on?"
Not only Wu Shojin was shocked and confused, Duduo stared at the chaotic Mongols to the north with his eyes widened.
"Did Liu Yan send reinforcements?"
It was indeed reinforcements, but they were not sent by Liu Yan, but by the third battalion of the garrison.
At this time, Han Qin led his troops to move south quickly. When the soldiers of the third battalion heard that the Qing army was really coming, the whole battalion was excited. They were finally going to fight the Tatar soldiers. Everyone was holding a fire in their hearts. At this time, the army With thousands of gunmen as the front army and thousands of spearmen following behind, they marched southward.
"Haha, caught up, let's move forward!"
More than 10,000 soldiers of the third battalion pressed directly against the Mongolian cavalry. The Mongolians who used to be rampant all over the world now spurred their horses back in fear. Thousands of cavalry were forced back by more than 10,000 infantry. In the past, such a scene would probably have been the Qing Dynasty. It was unimaginable for the whole army, but no one felt inappropriate when facing the Shandong New Army's military formation. Even Duduo hurriedly ordered the soldiers and horses in the north to retreat quickly and reorganize their formation.
type.
"Seventy steps away from the enemy!"
When Han Qin heard the roar of the messengers in front, he immediately ordered to stop advancing. At this time, Han Qin could even see the panic on the faces of the Mongolians in front. Thousands of Mongolian cavalry suddenly changed formations and retreated. The military formations were in chaos and crowded with each other. Being unable to retreat quickly for a while, the soldiers of the third battalion were given the best opportunity to attack.
"put!"
boom!
Thousands of gunmen from the third battalion began firing volleys. The roar of the birdguns was intertwined with the roar of the birdguns in the rear camp of the new army to the west, forming a deafening movement that sent a large number of Tatar soldiers down. hell.
The battlefield was filled with gunpowder smoke. Tumed Right Banner Gushan'e Zhen'omubuchuhu'er rode his horse to the left and right among the rebellious army, but he was surrounded by subordinates who wanted to escape. At such a moment, No one was willing to give way to his master, so Ombuchuhur was so angry that he cursed loudly and kept whipping the surrounding cavalry with the whip in his hand.
Suddenly, Ombu Chuhuer was hit in the head by something. He grinned in pain and was about to curse. Suddenly, he saw the Mongolians around him yelling and riding their horses to escape from him. He suddenly felt bad: "What is that?" ?”
boom!
With a loud noise, the thing that hit Ombuchuhur exploded suddenly, overturning Ombuchuhur and the war horse under his crotch at the same time. Human flesh and horse meat splashed out at the same time, dyeing the surrounding Mongolians. Scarlet. The flag bearer holding the Omubuchuhuer banner next to him was also overturned and fell to the ground, not knowing whether he was alive or dead. The banner fell down with a crash.
To the north, Han Qin held up his telescope and saw this scene, and he was so angry that he cursed: "Which sword-and-shielder throws thunder? He doesn't have eyes. He wants to
What should I do if I blow up the real head of Gu Shan'er? "
After saying that, Han Qin saw that the Mongols in front were no longer able to resist, so he shouted: "The spearmen are out, go up and stab people!"
Thousands of spearmen roared past the gunmen, and rushed towards the defeated Mongolian soldiers. They stabbed people and stabbed their horses, killing the Mongolian soldiers who had no time to escape until they fell on their backs.
At the same time, Wang Yue also led his troops to defeat the Mongolian soldiers and horses with the White Banner. Suna led thousands of defeated troops to retreat quickly, but he was much faster than the Mongolian soldiers from Tumed Right Banner. Wang Yue was so angry that he could only He was able to lead his troops to fight steadily, chasing after the cavalry running away step by step.
As for the soldiers and horses of the Tumut Left Banner in the south, after learning that Ming army reinforcements had arrived, Gushan'e Zhenshanba directly led his troops to retreat, and was the first to retreat to the Qing army's center.
Duduo looked at Shanba who ran back with a grimace and said angrily: "I didn't let you retreat, why did you run away from the battle!"
Shanba said hurriedly: "I am reporting to Prince Yu that reinforcements from the Ming army have arrived. This slave is also trying to preserve his strength in order to fight again. Please give me some advice from Prince Yu!"
Regarding these foreign Mongols, Duduo knew that he could not use the same attitude towards the Eight Banners Mongolia and could not punish or kill them arbitrarily, otherwise the Mongolians from the outer vassal would really rebel.
So Duduo said angrily: "Even so, Ezhen acted without authorization. After punishing Ezhen, he led his troops to set up defenses behind the Han army flag. If you retreat in front of the battle again this time, don't blame me for turning your back!"
Shanba quickly accepted the order.
Then Duduo looked at the chaotic battlefield. The troops in the west and north were being defeated. There was no chance of turning defeat into victory in this battle, so Duduo
Duo directly ordered the entire army to retreat, and he took the lead in leading the Manchurian troops with white flags to withdraw to the east bank.
As soon as Duduo's banner moved, thousands of Mongolian white-banner cavalry roared and fled eastward. Immediately afterwards, Shanba also led his troops to retreat quickly. The Tumut Right Banner's defeated troops in the north also let go. They fled towards the east bank of the Xun River, leaving only more than 10,000 Han soldiers and horses led by Wu Shojin behind.
"Withdraw troops!"
At this time, Wu Shoujin finally received the order to withdraw his troops and immediately ordered to retreat. However, the Han army flags were all infantry and could not keep up with the retreating pace of the Manchu and Mongolian cavalry, and they were soon left behind.
"Master! Wait a minute, slave!"
Wu Shoujin followed the army and ran eastward. At this time, he could hear the Ming troops shouting "Wan Sheng" from the west and north. He was so frightened in his heart that his feet began to mix garlic involuntarily.
"ah!"
Suddenly, Wu Shoujin tripped over something and fell to the ground. When he looked back, he saw a bloody head.
"ah!"
Wu Shoujin suddenly howled in fright, and was about to get up and continue running for his life, but he was kicked and kicked by the defeated soldiers who rushed up from behind, and he was unable to get up. After a while, Wu Shoujin was covered in blood and had no breath.
