In the late Ming Dynasty, rising from the grassland

Chapter 279 Dorgon wants to disrupt the situation
"Princess, it's not good, many Tumut people have already started to flee..."

"Sister, we are defeated, we should retreat first!"

The cavalry fighting on the eastern battlefield is still continuing, but compared to the Jurchens who are united and fighting for survival, the Mongolian cavalry's fighting will is weaker after all.

The bloody and cruel battle only lasted for more than half an hour. The Tumut leaders on the edge of the battlefield secretly left the battlefield with their warriors. As a result, the situation got out of control. When Namuzhong noticed it, the Mongolian The cavalry side was already one-sided, but the slave-building side had great morale and was killing more and more fiercely.

"Damn it, retreat, retreat quickly..."

At this time, Namuzhong relied on the excellent armor protection on her body, and she was already red-eyed. No matter how unwilling she was, she saw that the cavalry on her side had lost their fighting spirit and began to flee, so she could only greet those around her with a hateful voice. The men and horses fled eastward.

The thousands of cavalry around Namuzhong are all standing cavalry. They are the most elite Mongolian warriors with the best equipment. They have always been the backbone of the battlefield. With this escape, the entire battle collapsed instantly.

"Don't chase, blow the trumpet immediately, gather, everyone move closer to me...quickly..."

At this time, Dorgon was also covered in blood. He had no time to celebrate that he finally defeated the Mongolian cavalry, so he shouted at the top of his lungs.

Defeating the Mongolian cavalry was only the first step. The next step was to defeat the Chinese infantry. Fortunately, the fighting in the west was still continuing, so we did not dare to delay for a moment.

After Dorgon hurriedly gave the order, he pointed his sword directly, clamped the horse's belly, and rushed towards the west.

Upon seeing this, the surrounding cavalrymen hurriedly followed, and soon they gathered into a rolling torrent.

In the distance, the Jurchen cavalry who had chased out or were about to chase out, after hearing the sound of the trumpet, quickly reined in their horses, then turned their horses' heads and chased towards the west, leaving horse corpses and horse corpses all over the ground. Human corpse.

It's a pity that Lin Rui moved faster than Dorgon. Although Lin Rui had been commanding the infantry to fight the Ming army, most of his attention was actually on the eastern battlefield. Therefore, after realizing that the Mongolian cavalry was losing and starting to collapse, he immediately Let three Han cavalry battalions rush forward.

Although these three Han cavalry battalions have no mounted archers, their equestrian skills are not much worse than those of the Mongolian cavalry, and their equipment is better. They are not only equipped with sabers, but also spears and lances.

At this moment, [-] horsemen were like sharp arrows, quickly inserted into the battlefield to the east.

"Damn it, how come the Chinese cavalry in the Chinese army didn't even move?"

"What do Wu Sangui and Cao Bianjiao eat?"

There were tens of thousands of horsemen gathered around Dorgon, and more people and horses were gathering behind him. The key was that the speed of the war horses had not been raised at all, so when he saw the Chinese cavalry battalion rushing up, his expression changed drastically. He cursed angrily.

The Chinese army still had more than 1 Han cavalry, and he naturally knew that, but the Ming army also had more than 1 cavalry. In his opinion, since both sides had been fighting for so long, the cavalry must have been dispatched long ago.

"kill!"

Although he was caught off guard, Dorgon had no choice but to lead the warriors to fight forcefully.

"boom…"

On the one hand, they had been fighting hard for a long time, and they didn't even have time to breathe, and the horse's speed didn't pick up. On the other hand, they were galloping at high speed and were well prepared. Under such a hedging, the result can be imagined.

Although the Qing army still had more than 3 cavalry left, they were directly taken advantage of by the three cavalry battalions of the Chinese army. They were rushed to pieces and suffered heavy casualties.

In the end, Dorgon rushed out with only more than 5000 riders.After fighting out, Dorgon also did not choose to turn around to gather the cavalry and continue to struggle with the Chinese cavalry. Instead, he continued to fight towards the infantry battlefield.

Lin Rui, who was on the high platform, naturally noticed this scene. Seeing that the Qing army was so determined and only came with a few thousand riders, they were still determined to fish in troubled waters. He frowned and said to the messenger beside him: "The messenger is here Each of the fighting battalions was attacked by a small group of cavalry, and each battalion acted accordingly."

It was definitely impossible to stop them, and it was too late. Although there were only more than 5000 riders, Lin Rui still sent a warning message to the battlefield.

At this time, with the addition of the three trapped camps of the Chinese army, the east and west fronts of the Ming army showed signs of collapse. Lu Xiangsheng had to push the last four legions forward for a desperate fight.

In fact, by this time, the defeat of the Ming army was basically determined, and the four thousand troops behind did not need to go up at all, and could already start to retreat.

In this way, at least the 4 troops could retreat unscathed, but Lu Xiangsheng felt that once the battle was lost, even if the [-] troops were completely withdrawn from the camp, it would not make much sense. It was better to fight thoroughly.

As soon as the last [-] troops of the Ming army moved, the six infantry battalions at the rear of the Chinese army quickly pressed forward without hesitation, preparing for a full-scale battle.

When Dorgon rushed to the battlefield with more than 5000 cavalry, looking from a distance, he saw shouts of killing everywhere.

With the addition of the trapped camp and Zhou Yuji's men, plus Wu Sangui's more than [-] cavalry, the battlefield of the original phalanx and the opponent's formation looked a bit messy.

This left Dorgon at a loss as to where to start. After a moment's thought, he led the cavalry towards the battlefield on the left.

Originally, Dorgon wanted to place a few rounds of arrows on the outside first, and cooperate with the Ming army's infantry to disrupt the Chinese army's phalanx.

But he didn't know that the Ming army was already on the verge of collapse at this time. He rushed in with his cavalry and frightened the Ming army on the left into disregard. He dropped his weapon, turned around and fled back desperately. .

This scene made Lu Xiangsheng furious with anger. Dorgon was also dumbfounded. Looking at the Ming army fleeing in all directions and the Chinese army's formation that had begun to shrink their defenses, after weighing it for a moment, he led the cavalry and turned around to intercept. The Ming army collapsed.

Obviously Dorgon also knew that if he directly attacked the Chinese army's formation with his own cavalry, even if he could break through one, it would not be of much use, so he planned to drive the Ming army's defeated troops to turn around and attack the Chinese army.

It's a pity that Dorgon's cavalry was too few after all. When the Ming army's retreating troops on the left front were stopped by the cavalry, they didn't turn around at all, but ran to the right. As a result, the four-thousand-person phalanx in the middle was also destroyed. The impact collapsed, and the Ming army on the far right also collapsed.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Wu Sangui left the battlefield with the remaining 7000 or so cavalry.

However, Dorgon did not give up and tried his best to prevent and drive the Ming army from retreating. The result was that the Ming army was thrown into even greater chaos, trampling on each other and causing countless casualties.

"Ming Jin!"

Lin Rui had no more cavalry in his hands and did not want to fall into the camp to catch up. Seeing that the Ming army had completely collapsed, Naruto sounded the gong.

The red-eyed soldiers stopped and all the infantry battalions began to shrink.

"Your Majesty, it's too chaotic. It's better to leave first. If we don't leave, it will be too late if we are surrounded by Chinese infantry."

"go!"

Seeing that the Chinese army did not pursue, and each square formation was still intact, Dorgon also knew that his thousands of cavalry could not save the defeat anyway, so he had no choice but to lead the cavalry towards the camp unwillingly.
