Autumn of the 17th year of Chongzhen

Chapter 427
The Qing army chased the defeated Western army and chased them all the way along the Han River. In the Hanzhong Basin to the west of Baocheng, Han'er's corpses were everywhere.

In the distance, the Qing army came all over the mountains and plains. More than 2000 Western troops fought and retreated, but the situation was already very critical, but this Western army was still organized, and it was not easy to be wiped out in a short time. The Qing army did not want to miss the opportunity to pursue the main force of the Western army. Time, that's why they didn't stop to encircle and annihilate this western army first, but drove them forward.

Wang Shangli looked at the western army. Some people fell behind from time to time and were eaten by the Qing soldiers. The team ran smaller and smaller. He hung the big gun on the horse, took the bow and arrow, clamped the horse's belly, and galloped while riding on the horse's back. The admiral pulled the bowstring into a full circle, pointed at a Qing cavalry who was rushing forward, and shot an arrow, and the Qing cavalry fell immediately in response to the bowstring.

That Qing cavalry fell off his horse, kicked up a cloud of dust, and his body rolled continuously. At this time, Wang Shangli had already fired his second arrow, and the six hundred knights behind him either released arrows or shotguns, temporarily stopping the Qing army from chasing.Just like when the western army chased and killed Hauge's defeated army, the formation was chaotic. The Qing army chasing the western army was also beaten by the [-] cavalry of the western army who came suddenly.

There were thousands of Qing soldiers chasing and killing them, but they were too scattered, and it took time to gather and respond. This is also the reason why more than [-] Western troops changed from victory to defeat. Their formation was too scattered, and Wu Sangui's [-] Yu cavalry charged forward, they couldn't resist at all, they would die if they fought, and there was still a glimmer of life if they retreated, so Zhang Xianzhong immediately decided to retreat the whole army.

Wang Shangli rushed within fifty paces, together with the cavalry behind him, put down their bows and arrows, each held a long spear, and some raised their three-eyed blunderbuss, and charged at the Qing cavalry. The chasing Qing troops hurriedly met the enemy, but they were still rushed However, it is obviously impossible for him to achieve Wu Sangui's record, because the Western Army is an infantry army, while the Qing army is a cavalry army. His impact cannot achieve the effect of dealing with infantry.

Wang Shangli knew that his [-] cavalry was definitely not an opponent of the Qing army, so he did not completely crash into the Qing cavalry, but only stopped the pursuers for a while, then immediately made a roundabout movement, and then rushed to the other side of the Qing army .

This time he didn't go deep either, just like a shepherd dog chasing a flock of sheep, he forced the Qing cavalry to retreat. His continuous actions disrupted the pursuit for a while. Seeing this, the broken western army quickly left the battlefield and went to the battlefield. West ran.

At this time, the chasing Qing soldiers also came to their senses, and their wings quickly accelerated, trying to outflank the cavalry of the western army, but Wang Shangli did not like to fight. catch up.

"My lord, we are about to enter the boundary of Mian County. There are hills, should we pursue or not?" The blood-stained general Du Lei asked Hauge as he looked at the fleeing Western Army. "Chasing, why not chasing, chasing all the way into the middle of Shu, this king will never let Zhang Ni escape from birth." In the battle to the north of Baocheng, the situation was reversed because of Wu Sangui's arrival. Although Hauge turned defeat into victory, But the loss was also very heavy. As soon as he drew his horse, he personally led the army to pursue it. He said bitterly: "If you don't die if you kill a tiger, you will have future troubles. I will rely on you to deal with the cavalry of the Western Army. The rest of the troops should pursue it with all their strength."

Right now, all the departments of the Western Army have suffered heavy casualties, and the main force has collapsed. What else is Hauge afraid of?He has no scruples at all.

Although this battle was planned by him, Wu Sangui took most of the credit for it. If he couldn't kill Zhang Xianzhong, the loss would inevitably be out of proportion to the credit.

At the moment, the sound of horns soared into the sky, and the Qing army desperately pursued them.

Wang Shangli was soon entangled by Du Lei, and his [-] cavalry could not resist, so they had to retreat and wander.

Of the [-] infantry in the Western Army, Zhang Dingguo and Zhang Wenxiu's [-] troops were the only remaining elites. Their ability to survive to this day shows that they are all fierce soldiers on the battlefield.

These people are different from the ordinary Western Army. Most of them are old soldiers who have followed Zhang Xianzhong for many years. They are the essence of the Western Army. The reason why the Western Army is the Western Army is because of their existence.

After retreating from Baocheng, most of the Western Army was disbanded, but they have always maintained their organizational system. Although they are elite, they are infantry after all, and their mobility is really inferior to that of Qingqi. caught up.

Seeing this, Zhang Sheng, a general of Zhang Dingguo's Ministry, saw that he was in danger of being bitten by the Qing army again, so he quickly called Wang Fuchen, "Captain, protect your highness and go first, and the future will end."

Zhang Sheng has become a blood man, roaring like crazy, "Ying Yang!

Wei, give this general the top. "

During the fierce battle against Wu Sangui, Zhang Dingguo was shot by Liu Ya, and his injuries were quite serious. Zhang Wenxiu recovered a little bit. After hearing Zhang Shengzhi's words, Wang Fuchen immediately advised the two Highnesses to retreat first.

At this time, the infantry of the Western Army, who had been fighting fiercely for a day, also supported their tired bodies under the command of Zhang Sheng, and tried their best to stand up their spears, preparing to meet the pursuit of the Qing army, but the Qing cavalry had not yet caught up. Wang Shangli, who was wandering outside , but avoided Du Lei, and rushed directly to Qingzhen.

Among the Qingqi, Hauge saw that the Qingqi was about to bite the fleeing Western Army again, and smiled at the corner of his mouth, feeling a sense of humiliation in his heart. He was reining in his horse and continuing to observe, when he suddenly saw the six hundred Xiqi going straight towards him When he came, it was Wang Shangli who found that there were many Qing cavalry around him, but he did not participate in the pursuit. He believed that this was where the chief general of the Qing army was, so he directly killed him, trying to contain the Qing army's pursuit.

Seeing this, Hauge let out a sneer, without any fear, he said contemptuously, "Looking for death."

As soon as he waved his hand, Qingqi beside him immediately went up to him, colliding with Wang Shangli who was rushing forward, while Qingqi and Du Lei from a distance saw this, worried about Hauge's safety, and moved closer one after another.

With [-] cavalry, fighting against thousands of Qing cavalry is basically courting death. If Wang Shangli continues to wander and harass, as long as he is not surrounded by Qing cavalry, he still has a chance to leave the battlefield and save his life, but he chooses to plunge into Qing cavalry Among them, it is obvious that he wants to die with his heart.

Hauge saw a 40-year-old veteran of the Western Army, wearing a suit of blood-soaked armor, using a big spear to invincibly block those who blocked him, killing the Qing cavalry in front of him, unable to resist, and dodging one after another.

Wang Shangli was covered in blood, and his beard was covered with minced meat. Once he entered the battle, he killed several people. He spotted the Qing army's flag and rushed towards him.

"The southern barbarians are rampant~" A manchurian Zhenglan Banner Jiala was really furious beside Haoge, raised his sword, and galloped forward to fight.

When the two riders were about to meet, the man swung his long knife like Wang Shangli's head was cut off, but Wang Shangli's spear pierced his chest first, and the spear pierced his body. Wang Shangli roared and directly lifted the man's body When he got up, the blood flowed down the spear to his body, making him look like a god of war.

At this time, he flicked his spear, and Manjiang's body flew out, and knocked down the Qingqi who had been killed in front of him to the ground.

Seeing this, Hauge's expression changed. He didn't expect there to be such a strong general in the Western Army. Although Wang Shangli was brave, his number was too small. As the Qing cavalry surrounded them, the six hundred cavalry were outnumbered, and they were chopped off their horses one after another. But just as Wang Shangli was making a sudden attack among the Qing army crowd, a cold arrow hit him on the horse where he was sitting, and a mournful cry sounded, and he was lifted from the horse and fell heavily on the ground.

On the other side, after all, the two thousand infantry of the Western Army had been fighting fiercely for a day. They were exhausted and could not resist the Qing cavalry for a long time. They were knocked away by the Qing cavalry not long after. A Qing cavalry thrust a long spear into Zhang Sheng's abdomen, but Zhang Sheng He pulled down the horse, but more spears stabbed at him.

"Your Highness, I'm going to go~" Zhang Sheng looked up to the sky and screamed, several spears were inserted into his body, he swung the saber suddenly, cutting off the barrels of the guns, his whole body staggered, and did not stabilize until he thrust the saber into the ground , his body slowly slumped, but he never stood up again.

Wang Shangli was dizzy and his ears were ringing from the fall. He just stood up when he was knocked into the air by the horse and hit the ground heavily. He stood up again, bleeding from his seven orifices.

At this time, he seemed to be unable to hear the killing sounds around him, and the sky and the earth seemed to be revolving around him. He watched a hundred-man cavalry disappear into the western sky, with a smile on his face, and the whole body fell down.
