Ming Dynasty: Tanks blocked the door and you said to me, "Long live Ming Dynasty"

"With so many firearms, we can easily get them. It's like picking them up."

As soon as these words were spoken, the two looked at each other and laughed wildly and happily.

Before the two men had finished laughing, gunshots rang out from the hills on both sides. The sound was even more frequent than before in the woods.

Snap! Snap! Snap! Snap!

Felipe was well prepared this time. The number of his musketeers was twice as many as before, and they launched the attack in a multi-layer rotation manner.

The interval between each round of shooting was very short, and the sound of gunfire echoed continuously along this mountain road.

The Jurchen cavalry column in front of Dorgon was instantly thrown into chaos.

He came to his senses and gave the order immediately.

"The enemy is on the mountains on both sides! Counterattack, counterattack!"

Upon hearing the order, the Jurchen cavalry immediately rode up and charged towards the mountains on both sides.

However, cavalry is at a disadvantage when attacking from above, as it is abandoning its strengths and using its weaknesses, and it is impossible for them to exert their full strength.

Amid the sound of gunfire, the Jurchen cavalry began to fall one after another.

"Firearm soldiers, attack, attack!"

When the descendants of the Yin people heard the order, they picked up the unfamiliar matchlock guns, and after a panic, they finally lit and fired, but their aim was far from accurate.

There were explosions everywhere, and some people's hands shook and they fired their guns directly into their own troops.

The scene was chaotic for a while, but Dorgon was still full of confidence as only a few hundred people had died.

He has a total of 7,000 men. Even if 2,000 of them die, he still has 5,000.

As long as we can seize all the firearms from the other side, we will not be afraid of having no troops.

"All troops, attack! Launch an attack on the mountains on both sides!"

This time, he directly grabbed a warhorse, held a round shield, led Kudang and Silie, and charged towards the mountain on the left.

When the soldiers saw how brave he was, their morale was immediately boosted. They shouted in unison and charged desperately towards the mountains on both sides.

However, the bravery of the soldiers seemed somewhat powerless amid the bursts of gunfire.

The temporary musketeers of Dorgon's army were far inferior to the experienced Spanish musketeers in the mountains in terms of accuracy and attack frequency.

They only fired two shots before they were all wiped out, and most of them only fired one shot.

Although they suffered heavy losses, they had more people than the others and, led by the Jurchen cavalry, they finally approached the mountains.

Felipe smiled cruelly and waved his hand.

"Brave Spanish knights, go and fight for your glory!"

Hearing the inspiring order from the Governor.

The thousand Spanish knights, who had been holding back for a long time, raised their spears and shouted in unison.

"For Spain!"

"kill!!!"

The knights descended from the high ground with unstoppable force, like two torrents rushing down from the mountains on both sides.

Both the infantry and cavalry of Dorgon's army were exhausted when they rushed up the mountain. They had no strength left to resist. Under such a powerful attack, a large number of them were knocked down in an instant.

This time the situation has changed, and it is the turn of the Spanish cavalry to start visiting.

At the foot of the mountain, those soldiers of Dorgon's army who fell off their horses but survived and who were lucky enough to roll over and dodge could not escape the Spanish musketeers' follow-up shots.

For a moment, the sound of gunfire, screams, and horse neighings mixed together.

Dorgon's men, both dead and alive, rolled and slid down the mountains.

Dorgon did not expect that the enemy would be so insidious and his side would suffer such heavy losses.

The 7,000-strong army he had gathered with great difficulty had more than a thousand of them killed so quickly.

Especially the Jurchen cavalry that he brought from Liaodong, now there are less than a hundred people left.

He couldn't help but feel furious.

"How dare you, a red-haired rat, bully my Great Jin warriors!"

"All of you, die for me!"

His chest was filled with blood and he swung the dragon-tail sword in his hand wildly.

This dragon-tail sword was a gift from his father, Emperor Nurhaci. It had accompanied him in many battles, and it had gone through hundreds of battles, and it could cut through iron like mud without ever breaking.

At this time, facing the Spanish cavalry, he displayed his great power and cut them like melons and vegetables. A touch would break an arm, and a cut would separate the head from the body. He knocked down three or four Spanish cavalrymen at once.

The surrounding soldiers were all excited when they saw this.

Kudang and Silie couldn't help but smile at each other when they saw this.

The former Khan is finally back!

The seven guards worked at the same time, and together with Dorgon, they cut a bloody path and approached the mountain.

This is quite conspicuous.

Felipe immediately gave the order upon seeing this.

"Musketeers, focus your fire on that guy in full armor, holding a big sword, and with a lightning rod on his head!"

"Shoot! Shoot! Shoot him to death!"

Dorgon was fighting with great enthusiasm when his armor suddenly began to clank.

In an instant, countless shotgun shells were fired.

At the same time, he was shot in the arms, legs and feet.

"what!"

Dorgon fell off his horse with a scream.

The horse was also hit by the bullet and jumped high, with its hooves hitting Dorgon's face.

Dorgon was shocked when he saw the snow and dirt from the horse's hooves falling on his face.

If the horse's hooves had landed here, his handsome face would probably have been crushed to pieces.

"Great Khan!!!"

At the critical moment, Si Lie roared, leaned down from his horse, stretched out his hand to drag Dorgon out, and then threw him on his back.

"The Khan is injured, everyone protect him and leave!" Kudang shouted quickly upon seeing this, and the rest of the guards immediately gathered around and protected Dorgon as he retreated northward.

Dorgon's army was assembled within two months. When they saw their commander was defeated, their morale immediately dropped and they all fled.

"That's the enemy leader. We can't let him escape!"

Felipe yelled, "All hands on deck!"

"For Spain! Kill!!!" the shouts echoed throughout the mountains.

The Spanish army pursued and killed the enemies all the way and captured a lot of them.

Kudang and Silie protected Dorgon as he retreated northwards. Finally, to avoid being pursued, they fled eastwards with the remaining Jurchen cavalry and some soldiers.

Although the Spanish allowed the enemy chief to escape in this battle, they killed nearly 4,000 enemies and seized 200 war horses, which was considered a great victory.

After returning to the fortress, celebrations lasted for three days.

The third day happened to be December 24th of the Gregorian calendar, Christmas Eve.

The fortress was filled with a Christmas atmosphere, with various festive decorations dotted everywhere and a Christmas tree already erected.

Felipe and a group of officers stood on the top floor of the fortress, looking at the festive atmosphere and feeling very happy.

Just as night fell, a pleasant bell sound suddenly came from the north.

Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way…

Everyone looked towards the northern highway and vaguely saw a sled pulled by several reindeer heading towards the fortress.

Major Caballero couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

"It's not Santa Claus coming!"

Chapter 476 Santa Claus, come here!

Logically speaking, after Shi Bowen changed to a reindeer sled, his speed increased and he should be able to catch up with Dorgon quickly.

But he never expected that the villages Dorgon passed through not only recruited many soldiers, but also deceived the remaining villagers and prevented them from pursuing.

This happened over and over again, and we ended up wasting a lot of time, losing track of the target, and mistakenly entering many other villages.

Fortunately, Zhao Huchen and others were able to communicate with the Yin people without any obstacles, and the large force quickly returned to the correct pursuit route.

During this period, Shi Bowen heard that Dorgon was recruiting soldiers along the way and his team was growing. He was worried that he did not have enough troops, so he went to more distant villages along the way to recruit soldiers.

This delayed him another day or two, and now he had more than three thousand men under his command.

Not only that, the reindeer herders of the Dusha tribe were also not idle along the way.

Whenever Shi Bowen went to the Yin village to recruit soldiers, they would go into the mountains and forests to catch reindeer themselves.

Now there are 500 people riding deer in the team, all covered with fur, looking quite spectacular!

Shi Bowen never thought that he would be able to form such a team.

But he didn't care. In order to complete the mission and capture Dorgon, he would use any means.

They chased all the way and finally arrived at the forest battlefield where Dorgon fought with the Spaniards.

"Sir, there are a lot of corpses ahead, it looks like there has been a battle!"

Du Sha had excellent eyesight and could see from afar many dead soldiers lying in and out of the woods.

"Go and see!"

Shi Bowen swung the whip and the reindeer sled rushed forward quickly.

When he got there, Shi Bowen looked at the clothes of several corpses and was surprised: "They are Jiannu cavalry!"

Zhao Huchen frowned slightly when he saw the other corpses.

"There are many more Yin brothers!"

Du Sha couldn't help but yelled angrily upon hearing this: "Damn Jiannu, they've started slaughtering the Yin people again!"

Shi Bowen squatted down and examined the bodies of the Jurchen cavalry more carefully.

He touched the wound where the blood had already solidified, and unexpectedly found some tiny marbles remaining. He put it to his nose and sniffed it, and there was a faint smell of gunpowder.

He couldn't help but frown.

"No, these wounds were caused by muskets!"

"I remember that from the time when the Nurgandusi pursued Dorgon until now, I have not found any traces of them using firearms!"

"Why is there a musket here?"

Upon hearing this, Du Sha immediately went to check the other bodies.

"Sir, the wounds on these Yin people don't seem to be caused by swords or knives!"

Zhao Huchen suddenly said, "Brother Shi, there seem to be many traces of dragging in the woods!"

"Let's go and follow the traces!"

Shi Bowen was full of doubts, and took the two of them to follow the vaguely visible dragging traces.

In the woods, there were dozens of Yin soldiers lying dead from being shot.

They soon reached the other side of the woods.

"Look, sir! That piece of snow looks like it's been turned over by someone!"

Shi Bowen looked in the direction Du Sha pointed.

Sure enough, I saw a large piece of snowy soil turned up, which was very conspicuous, and a large wooden cross was inserted on it.

"Dig! Dig it up for me!"
