Chapter 823 Rout

Waves of Qing cavalry wearing double-layer heavy armor, they are holding dense layers of spears, and they are shining brightly under the afternoon sun.

They shouted unscrupulously, formed an formation and rushed towards the Ming army formation.

And the Tartars riding at the front and holding swords, shields and axes are the most elite Baya soldiers and Gebush soldiers in each banner. Elite soldiers.

Behind them, there are layers of heavy cavalry from the Qing army. They hold lances as long as Zhang Xu, and roll their iron hooves, waiting to move.

The fierce battle lasted only in an instant, and before the heavy cavalry of the Qing army had time to charge, the swords, shields and spearmen of the Ming army in the sharp formation were forced to retreat again and again.

Even if the swords and sticks and big sticks behind the shield formation of the Ming army were all on hand, this situation could not be changed. It seemed that the defeat of the Shanhai Navy was doomed in the dark, and it could not be changed.

Ma Zhiyong also knew that the infantry had spent too much energy to prevent the routs from rushing into the formation just now, and now under the oppression of the Qing army's heavy cavalry, they were extremely nervous and timid, so naturally they were unable to fight again.

Just as he got on his horse and wanted to lead his servants Jingqi to charge up for a while to relieve some pressure on the infantry, for some reason there were roars from behind the formation, followed by a noisy commotion.

Before he had time to send someone to check, he saw a pawn rushing towards him and reported loudly: "General Ma Shen, something is wrong..."

Ma Zhiyong asked in a deep voice, "Why are you panicking, please answer."

The pawn took a few breaths, calmed down a little, and then replied: "Report to the general, and then...the barracks roared, and they fled from the camp and...and walked away."
......"

Hearing this, Ma Zhiyong's heart sank suddenly, and he asked: "The Tartars just launched an attack, why did the rear battalion collapse first?"

"Returning to the general, the rear camp is safe and sound, but I don't know which thief shouted, 'Tartars attacked the camp, Commander Ma has fled, we are defeated, run for our lives'.

His yell immediately caused chaos in the rear camp, and one after another ran away from the door. "

Hearing this, Ma Zhiyong secretly said: "It's over, it's over."

Previously, he also knew that his camp would definitely not be able to hold on, but he still had to think more about the soldiers in the army, so he worked hard to organize resistance. He only hoped that he could hold out until the reinforcements came and help share some of the pressure, so that the entire army might be spared. The end of the crash.

However, at this moment, the main barracks also repeated the ending of the left wing camp. Before the slaves and barbarians launched a strong attack, they were defeated due to internal collapse.

In fact, Marko's main barracks can still fend off the Tartars, but it is not impossible to fight. They also have more than 3000 soldiers, nearly 4000 soldiers, including hundreds of elite cavalry, nearly [-] number.

Moreover, there are more chariots, artillery, guns, and guns than He Youren's left-wing battalion. If the army's morale is stable and the organization is strong, even under the strong attack of the Tartars, it may not necessarily be defeated.

It's a pity that when Ma Ke saw the reinforcements coming, he was eager for a moment, and went to greet them in person regardless of the safety of the camp.

Of course, Ma Ke may not have no intention of fleeing the dangerous place. He heard that Bai Guangen's troops had opened the West Shimen Passage and was leading his troops to come to rescue him. He rushed to meet them, mainly because he was afraid that his camp would be unsafe.

If the general is like this, how can it be blamed for the misunderstanding of the soldiers?
But the rear battalion gave up, and the front battalion didn't know it at the moment. Under the threat of the Shangguan, they persisted in resisting the attack of the Tartars.

The war horses wailed, and were constantly poked to the ground by the spears and spears of the Ming army, and the spears and spears of the Ming army were also broken one by one under the oppression of the heavy cavalry.

And the infantry of the Ming army who lost their spears and big guns were also kicked or trampled by the Tartar war horses one after another, or provoked by their cavalry spears, and finally were trampled into puddles of blood and flesh by the iron cavalry rolling over. .

Many of the Tartars charging forward also fell off their horses. Although they were heavily armored, it was difficult to hurt them with ordinary knives. However, the Ming army also had large axes, hammers and other heavy soldiers in the formation. The armor is destined to be difficult to survive.

What's more, the Tartars know their own people, but the horses they ride don't distinguish between the enemy and the enemy. The beast doesn't care who you are, as long as you get to his feet, you will trample on it. There are not a few Tartars who are trampled to death by their own war horses .

But Bobo's heavy armored Qing cavalry rushed to attack, broke through several gaps in the shield formation of Ma Ke's main barracks, and charged straight into the formation. They didn't like fighting, and wanted to rush in quickly, dividing the Ming army so that they could be defeated one by one.

The dead soldiers in the Qing army and the Ba Yala soldiers held swords and shields and wore two or even three layers of heavy armor. Except for the firearms in the Ming army who shot at close range, they were their nemesis.

Otherwise, it would be like an invincible tank, coming and going and clashing in the Ming army formation, almost unstoppable!
They rode horses or dismounted to fight on foot. All of them were skilled in swordsmanship and powerful.

These Tartar heavy armored infantry were on the rampage, and the shield formation of the Ming army was smashed and smashed away. Among the heavily armored figures, most of them had their limbs flying and died on the spot.

After they tore open the openings of the Ming saber shield array and spear array, wherever they went, there was blood splattering, brains gushing out, and limbs flying horizontally. The Ming army retreated one after another, as if encountering a ghost.

And behind them, waves of Qing troops rushed forward with shouts, and in a blink of an eye, the sharp formation of Ma Kezheng barracks was broken by the Tartars, and the infantry defense line completely collapsed.

His Chinese army general Ma Zhiyong rode on the horse. Seeing that the main barracks was about to collapse, he felt very anxious. He took down his big gun and roared: "Brothers, Jinzhou is only a few hundred miles away from Shanhaiguan. If we retreat today, the Tartars will be able to attack Shanhaiguan tomorrow.

At that time, your wives and children will be taken captive by him, and you will be slaves and slaves, and you will be humiliated. How can you bear it? "

"I can't... I can't bear it..."

Ma Zhiyong shouted loudly: "Your wife and daughter have become the playthings of the Tartars, and your son has changed to the caste of the Tartars, with a money rat tail tied on his head, how can you bear it?"

"Can't bear it..."

Seeing that the anger of the soldiers had been aroused, Ma Zhiyong was very satisfied, but he still wanted to light another fire, so he continued to roar: "If you don't kill a Tartar today, what face do you have to go to see Jiuquanzhi?" The next ancestors?
Which one of you has no blood feud with the Tartars?Hate for taking his wife?Revenge for killing your father?Just report today! "

"Vengeance... Revenge..."

The anger of the cavalry was completely ignited, and Ma Zhiyong was very satisfied when he saw that the army's morale was available. He raised his gun and shouted: "Brothers, listen to my orders and follow me to kill slaves!"

"... Kill the slave... Kill the slave... Kill the slave..."

He led the horse and galloped out, all the soldiers were determined to fight the Tartars at this moment, so naturally they had no scruples, everyone roared in unison and rushed towards the Tartars.

Although there are less than [-] elite riders, everyone's furious horses gallop wildly, and the momentum is astonishing.

Sure enough, the thieves and cavalry who were still in power were also shocked by the roar here. Just as they were stunned, Ma Zhiyong led the knights under his command to rush forward.

The two sides had no time to say hello to each other, so they caught each other and fought together.

There is an ancient saying that "the mourning army must win", Ma Zhiyong's Shanhai Town Jingqi is no different from the mourning army at this moment, all of them are full of anger and ignited, and now everyone is brave, and life and death have long been forgotten.

With this anger, and the fact that they had been resting in the central army, they had just joined the battle, and their physical strength was at its peak, they were naturally braver than the Tartars who had been fighting for a long time.

Amidst bursts of explosions of three-eyed guns, the Tartar armored cavalry kept retreating. Their originally fierce offensive was immediately frustrated, and they retreated all the way outside the chariot defense line before stopping.

Ma Zhiyong's original intention was not to lead the cavalry, but to die here, he just wanted to force the Tartars back, so as to give the infantry some breathing room to regroup the army.

In this way, perhaps more soldiers will survive. After all, the Jizhen reinforcements are right in front of them, and they can rush to reinforce them in an instant. At that time, they may be able to resist the attack of the Tartars.

But he was wrong, maybe his idea was correct, but the reality did hit him hard!

Under the impact of the Tartars, those infantry were routed into an army, and there were many dead and injured crying for their fathers and mothers, and they had no power to fight back.

But when they saw Ma Zhiyong leading the cavalry rushing over to force the Tartar armored cavalry back, they did not form a formation to defend themselves under the shouts of the officers, but continued to flee backwards in disorder.

Some of the more courageous infantry turned around and scrambled for the horses left behind by the Tartars. What's more, they even directly snatched the horses of their own cavalry.

In order to be able to escape faster, the frightened pawns have disowned their relatives.

They tore and insulted each other to fight for the horses, and even fought each other with swords and soldiers. When their brothers fought, they didn't care whether they were cavalrymen or not.

Ma Zhiyongce was on the horse, watching all this, he was stunned on the spot.

These soldiers whom he desperately protected were so unbearable that he couldn't help but look up to the sky and sigh: "Heaven will kill me too!"

"General, let's go, I'll protect you and kill you. If we find Marshal Ma, we may not be able to make great achievements!" One of Ma Zhiyong's confidantes rode his horse up to him, and he grabbed the reins of Ma Zhiyong's horse, eagerly talking.

And the servants Jingqi who had killed the Tartar Jiaqi just now with their blood and bravery also crowded around Ma Zhiyong nervously, and couldn't help persuading him to find the Marshal Ma together.

Seeing the Tartar cavalry who had just retreated, they swarmed from all sides, especially the Mongolian light cavalry on the north and south sides were also approaching. is very big.

People kept falling to the ground covered in blood, and some infantry fled to the horses of the Mongolian cavalry in a panic. They chased them for a while, and finally died tragically under the iron hooves of the northern warhorses.

At this time, most of the thousands of troops in the main barracks had dispersed, they ran around to escape for their lives, but none of them dared to turn around and kill the slaves, nor did they care about their superiors and generals.

Ma Zhiyong still has less than [-] Ma Ke family members and nearly [-] elite cavalry around him. There were originally nearly [-] elite cavalry, but in the fight just now, even though he killed the Tartar cavalry, he himself lost more than [-] knight.

He couldn't help thinking to himself: "At the critical moment, we still have to rely on these family members Ding Ruiqi, the money and food that the commander usually pays, finally paid off today!"

However, Ma Zhiyong thought about it again, since everyone had no fighting spirit, and the performance of the pawns also chilled Ma Zhiyong's heart, he shouted helplessly: "Boys, let's go out with this general, let's go find Ma Shuai , and cast him into the Baizong barracks in Ji Town."

He didn't care about thinking too much at this moment, reined in the horse, looked around, and said to everyone: "You can't go to the east, the northern captives are about to be encircled. Let's go north first, there are not many northern captives over there, kill them out." , let’s go east again.”

With the joint efforts of all the servants and cavalry, Ma Zhiyong's team rushed out smoothly, and they turned to the north and ran eastward.

As far as the eyes can see on all sides, there are armored cavalry of the Qing army, and they seem to come all over the mountains and plains.

So far, the strongest main battalion and left wing battalion in the entire Shanhai Town have been defeated across the board, and their two battalions accounted for almost half of the soldiers and horses in Shanhai Town.

The only ones left are the more than a thousand soldiers in the hands of the governor Hu Zhongxin, who are still somewhat capable of fighting, and the two ranger battalions are probably really rangers. Appears immediately.

Of course, the most tragic thing was the thousands of civilians who followed the two battalions. It seemed that the whole world was still echoing with their cries and howls.

…………

Wu Sangui rode on a high ground, his face was livid looking at the army horses from Jizhen fleeing from the west, this battle happened right under his nose.

From the battle to the defeat of the whole battalion, it was so short and cruel!

Wu Sangui had just broken through the defense line of the Qing army in Shimen Mountain. However, he did not drive to Pingchuan at the northern foot of Shimen Mountain immediately.

Compared to other generals in various towns, Wu Sangui is still a man with strategy. He clearly knows that the victory on Shimen Mountain is just the beginning.

And on Pingchuan at the northern foot of Shimen Mountain, there must be more dangerous battles waiting for him, so he was not in a hurry to kill from Shimen Mountain, but cleaned up the battlefield on the mountain so that the soldiers could simply use some dry food, reply Nearly exhausted physical strength.

Afterwards, the battalions were arranged to move into the Pingchuan area at the northern foot of Shimen Mountain in batches, and the first task of each battalion after they descended the mountain was to securely set up their camps in case of accidents.

It wasn't until all the soldiers and horses of the four battalions under his command had set up camp that he personally led his elite troops to march westward. Until then, the soldiers and horses of Tang Tong's army that had conquered Dongshimen earlier had not yet appeared in the sight of everyone.

He had been standing on this high hill immediately, observing the battle between Ji Town's soldiers and horses and the Tartars in the distance.

The elite soldiers of Ningyuan Town had just completed their formation and were preparing to continue marching westward to join the battle and rescue Bai Guangen's troops in Ji Town.

But at this time, for some reason, after a commotion in the camp of Ji Town, the whole camp collapsed and fled all the way eastward under the pursuit of the Tartars.
