"Failed, our army was defeated!"
"Run quickly. The Ming army has offered a reward of fifteen taels for killing a Tatar! Run quickly."
"Why are you running away? We are not the Eight Banners, we are the fake Tatars from the Green Camp!"
"You damn thing were just charged into the New Green Camp. What's the matter? I followed the Eight Banners and massacred countless Han people. It's the coated Niulu. Can it be the same?! I rushed across the pontoon first!"
"..."
The battlefield became even more chaotic.
It was just a small defeat of Geng Zhongming's department before, but now it is a big defeat of the whole!
"Boom!!!"
The sound of artillery sounded unexpectedly again, and the dust on the bank of Luanhe River instantly rose.
Although the shells fired this time were not explosive shells, they were solid projectiles. When they landed in the soil, they also kicked up the soil violently. Many shells hit the pontoon bridge, causing one of the pontoon bridges to break!
Yu Dayou jumped on his horse and whipped his whip, and led the Fubo Battalion in pursuit. Fortunately, two legs could not run as fast as four legs. The Ming army did not have many cavalry and did not dare to go deep in hastily. They could only cooperate with the infantry to advance. This made Aziz Grid breathed a sigh of relief.
However, when he fled to the bank of the Luan River and planned to gather more than 1,200 Huize tribe members who were resisting the Ming army's attack in the southwest, he found that the Huize tribe had also thrown away their armor and was running towards the Luan River.
Even faster than Azig.
Azig was extremely shocked. He took two steps quickly, stepped forward and grabbed Hui Ze's collar, angrily yelling: "What's going on? How come you were defeated over there?!"
Hui Ze, who was suddenly grabbed by the collar by Azige, was also stunned.
He fled all the way here, hoping that the Eight Banners soldiers from Azig's headquarters would give the pursuers a head-on attack. Why did Azig lose here too? !
"Where is the Mengba Banner? What are the Mengba Banner doing?" Azig shouted angrily, "Hurry up and let the Mengba Banner's cavalry entangle the Ming army. Children of the Eight Banners, cross the river, cross the river!"
When Hui Ze heard this, he immediately cried and reported an important piece of information to Azig: "Your Majesty, the Meng Eight Banners have surrendered to the enemy! The slaves were dispersed by the Meng Eight Banners from the flanks!"
After hearing Hui Ze's voice, Azig couldn't help but feel shaken and his face changed drastically.
It is possible for the Eight Banners to rebel.
Although they are said to be a Manchu and Mongolian family, this is the same as the so-called non-discrimination against black people in the United States. It is verbally correct. They say it is correct, but they still discriminate when they should, and exploit them behind the scenes.
Under the rule of the Qing Dynasty, the number of Mongolians was greatly reduced, and various restrictions were imposed. Although Xiaozhuang Dayu'er was born in Mongolia, she was the most ruthless in exploiting her natal family.
In this environment, if the Mongolian cavalry defected, it would not be impossible!
Mongolian soldiers were Ming cavalry in the Ming Dynasty, and they were the Mongolian Eight Banners in the Qing Dynasty!
"After chasing them, His Majesty promises to chop off their heads. There will be countless wealth and titles waiting for us!"
"Kill, kill!"
"..."
There was a burst of Mongolian charging cavalry in the distance. Azig took a quick look and was instantly frightened out of his wits.
It's the Mongolian cavalry, it's indeed the charging style of the Mongolian cavalry!
but……
Azig also clearly discovered that these Mongolian cavalry were not wearing the armor of the Qing army, but the Ming army.
For a moment, Azig was also a little suspicious, but now was not the time for him to think about this. Facing the Mongolian cavalry that was almost in front of him, Azig ran directly towards the pontoon without hesitation, without even caring about it. No other Eight Banners soldiers!
And there was no need for Azig to remind him. One by one, the Manchurian soldiers scrambled towards the pontoon bridge. The pontoon bridge was already rickety. During the scramble, it instantly turned over and a large number of Manchurian soldiers He fell into the water and struggled desperately.
Even Azig, the leader of the Manchu Qing Dynasty's yellow flag, who was crowned Prince of England by Dorgon in front of the army after entering the customs, fell into the water in a panic. For a moment, his body felt as if it had been filled with lead and he was sinking towards the water. Then, my mouth and nose were filled with river water. I choked several times and could only struggle desperately to float to the surface.
"My lord, take off your armor quickly. The water in the Luanhe River is deep. Don't sink to the bottom!"
Geng Zhongming, who arrived on the other side of the river early, saw Azig falling into the water. His heart was in his throat and he immediately roared: "Save the prince, save the prince!"
If you lose the war, you have already committed a serious crime, and you may be liquidated after you return.
If Prince Azig was killed here, then when Geng Zhongming returns, wouldn’t it be...
Geng Zhongming didn't dare to think about it anymore, but he had no choice. There was no way he could surrender to the Ming army!
Shang Kexi was captured and died.
And what he did back then was much too much than Shang Kexi, wouldn't he have to suffer eighteen kinds of torture? !
Amidst Geng Zhongming's shouts, two slaves who were not afraid of death immediately went into the water and planned to fish Azig out. As a result, the 'Mongolian cavalry' who had already rushed to the shore to fight with each other saw this and immediately laughed and bent their bows. Nocking an arrow, he shot the two coated slaves who were not afraid of death in an instant!
Mongolian cavalry?
They are indeed Mongolian cavalry, but they are not the Mongolian Eight Banners.
They are the Ming Army cavalry from the Hongwu Dynasty!
When Emperor Hongwu followed the Northern Expedition to the Northern Yuan Dynasty, many cavalrymen in the Ming army were of Mongolian origin. During the reign of Emperor Yongle, the Duoyan Three Guards were even more famous all over the world.
Mongolian cavalry has always been an important part of the Ming army's cavalry. In the cavalry formations in the early Ming Dynasty, Mongolian cavalry accounted for about 23 out of 10!
Among the 30,000 troops assisted by the Hongwu Dynasty, cavalry accounted for 8,000, including 2,000 Mongolian cavalry.
And these two thousand Mongolian cavalry were the ones who had just fought out from the flanks during the fierce battle between the Huize tribe and the Ming army, and directly defeated the Ming army of the Huize tribe!
As for where the Manchu Eight Banners were... they were a bit unlucky. They were discovered by the main cavalry force of the Ming Army as soon as they crossed the hill.
The main cavalry force of the Ming Army was mainly composed of cavalry from the Hongwu Dynasty and Jiajing Dynasty, supplemented by the original cavalry from the Chongzhen Dynasty and the surrendered cavalry of the Shun Army, totaling more than 15,000 people.
The Mengba Banner only had 3,000 people.
Moreover, most of the cavalry of the Hongwu Dynasty were elite cavalry who had experienced the Northern Expedition, so they were naturally easy to defeat the Mongolian cavalry.
With a large number of people and an ambush prepared in advance, the Mengba Banner was defeated with just one charge. The Mengba Banner panicked and ran around without knowing where it went.
Under the fire of the Ming cavalry, most of the Manchurian Eight Banners were killed and wounded in an instant. Only a hundred or so Manchu soldiers crossed the river out of more than a thousand.
In the river, the British Prince Azig who fell into the water kept struggling. The consciousness in his brain had been submerged by the surging water, leaving only a blank.
He kept struggling in the water, his arms frantically slapping the water around him. The splashing water and his sinking body made him feel the cold message of death.
The suffocation came over him, as if the King of Hell was strangling his neck tightly, and the soles of his feet were extremely heavy, as if... there were countless innocent souls at the bottom of the river grabbing his feet and dragging him down!
In the end, this famous Manchu general who had massacred tens of thousands of Ming troops in the Battle of Jinzhou, pursued Lin Dan Khan, the last great Khan of Mongolia, and accompanied his army in the campaign in Korea, finally drowned in the endless flow of the Luan River.
The vanguard army of the Qing Dynasty that entered the pass, except for the 8,000-strong tribe of Jierhalang, the leader of the Xianglan Banner in Beiping Prefecture, only King Geng Zhongming of Huaishun and more than a hundred remaining soldiers escaped!
After a few sticks of incense, Azig's body was fished out from the bottom of the river by the Ming army.
The Ming army gave out shouts of victory!
"Kill the captives, kill the captives, kill the captives!"
