Cutting over the end of the Ming Dynasty: a dog-leg knife at the beginning

Chapter 491
The Lancers of the Ming Army pressed forward like a mountain, and there were obviously only two thousand people, which gave people the feeling of a group of thousands of troops charging.They were like a hurricane, and no matter whether it was a coated slave or a soldier, whether it was a white armored soldier or Lord Baylor, there was only a dead end in front of them. The terrible howling sound made every soldier of the Houjin stand on end with hair standing on end. Cracked, trampled over and defeated layer by layer, until an unstoppable torrent formed.

Hauge yelled wildly that he wanted to rush up and fight the nasty Lancers to the death, but those white armored soldiers around him dared not let him go, they all shouted: "Master, it can't be done, let's withdraw, it will be too late if we don't withdraw!"

Hauge yelled in his lungs: "I have followed my father Khan since I was a child, and I have never been defeated, let alone retreating in front of Minggou! Kill me! Kill me all those Minggou! They only have less than Four thousand cavalry, what are we afraid of? What are we afraid of!"

A crossbow arrow came through the air and shot a white-armored soldier off his horse, reminding them that the Ming army was not far away from them.The white armored soldiers didn't care about talking anymore, they forcibly pulled Hauge's horse, merged into the rout torrent, and fled. In order to escape, they even swung their knives to kill the infantry blocking the road, killing them to death. Everywhere.This scene has been staged countless times on the battlefield outside the pass, and now it is finally staged on Hou Jin.Hauge turned his head and stared resentfully at the direction where the sound of horseshoes was most dense. He saw a white-robed general leading two thousand cavalry at the head of the horse, killing Hou Jin's army layer by layer, and it was unstoppable.He looked up to the sky and screamed like a wounded beast: "Lu Xiangsheng!!!"

He has not forgotten that on the banks of the Daling River two years ago, it was Lu Xiangsheng who commanded the Tianxiong Army and Guan Ning Army to forcefully cross the Daling River despite a rain of arrows that could cover the sky, and broke down the defense lines of the two yellow flags and the Zhenglan Flag in one fell swoop. , almost broke the siege of the Daling River, and the Tianxiong Army was the first to open the gap from his Xianghuang Banner line of defense, not to mention the shame.He never forgets to seek revenge and avenge his shame, but he never dreamed that the old grudge has not been avenged and a new grudge has been added. The revenge of the Daling River has not yet been washed away, and Lu Xiangsheng has given him an even greater shame. The resentment and anger in his heart , It is really difficult to describe with words.

The Ming army was excited to the apex, Denglai new army, Heluo new army, Tianxiong army, Dongjiang army, Guanmen Sichuan army... under the guidance of the same miscellaneous flags, all kinds of teams rushed down like tigers to Houjin, especially Dongjiang. The army, charged the most fiercely, and the post-golden warriors surrounded by them turned into blood and pieces of meat that were picked up and waved on the tip of their guns in an instant.Hou Jin had completely lost his fighting spirit, snatched the horse and fled desperately, completely lost his sense of discipline, and only wanted to escape, the farther away from Lushun the better, and the farther away from the Ming army, the better!They had a lot of horses, and their mobility always had the upper hand. The infantry of the Ming army couldn't catch up, so they could only vent their anger on those who failed to grab the horses.But the Chasseurs and Lancers didn't mean to be polite to Hou Jin at all. The Chasseurs bit the main force of Hou Jin like a pack of bloody wolves and chased after them. If the enemy is more powerful and cannot eat it for a while, it doesn't matter, the Lancers will arrive soon. On the Great Plains, they have already lost No matter how many enemies have lost their fighting spirit, it is only a charge for the Lancers.If one charge doesn't solve the problem, try again, lagging behind means death anyway!

Every time a piece of enemy was cut down, the Chaser jumped off the horse excitedly, cut off the head, hung it on the neck of the horse, and continued to chase and fight like taking medicine.This is what Hou Jin prefers to do. They often cut off the heads of Ming soldiers who died in battle and hang them on the necks of horses to show off. Now it's their turn.The heads of so many colleagues were dangling bloody from the necks of enemy horses, which brought them the same terror and fear.While fleeing for their lives, many post-Golden soldiers secretly cursed in their hearts: These Ming soldiers are really barbaric...

After the great victory, the morale of the Ming army was like a rainbow, and they chased for twenty miles in one breath. Houjin's flag, weapons, and corpses were also thrown for twenty miles. It was not until the heavy rain fell that the Ming army temporarily stopped pursuing. At this time, A radius of twenty miles has been covered with corpses!

"It's not easy, but we finally won." Qi Hu looked at the endless dead bodies lying on the ground, and at the groups of prisoners with blank expressions, he let out a long sigh of relief and showed a hearty smile.

Li Yan was a little frustrated.He originally regarded himself as Yang Menglong's counselor, but in this battle, he didn't seem to play any role. The whole battle was won by the Ming army head-on.Looking at the puddles of blood on the ground, he trembled all over his body, and murmured, "It's so tragic... Both sides have suffered tens of thousands of casualties, right?"

Qi Hu said: "Our army may not have it. Jiannu must have suffered over [-] casualties. This time, Jiannu has really hurt his vitality."

Li Yan agreed.How many troops did Houjin have?Counting every man who could wield a spear, it was only 10,000+, and there were over ten thousand casualties all at once, which was really traumatic.

On the other side of the battlefield, Yang Menglong galloped back and forth with a head picked up by a horse, and shouted loudly: "I told you, after today they will become dead, I didn't lie to you, did I? Do you know who this is?" ? This is Du Du!!"

The soldiers of the Ming army raised their arms and shouted: "Champion! Champion! Champion!"

Yang Menglong shouted: "Remember this day, remember this place, and remember it firmly for the rest of your life! Because on this day, here, the mighty Jiannu was defeated by us, and the defeat was like a mountain!"

The soldiers of the Ming army blushed with excitement and shouted wildly: "Long live! Long live!"

Qi Hu rode his horse to Yang Menglong's side, and said, "Stop playing tricks, hurry up and collect the loot, count the casualties, and then decide whether to continue the pursuit or retreat."

Yang Menglong smiled fiercely and said: "Of course we will continue to pursue! This is our territory, can they come and leave whenever they want? If they want to leave, they must leave something for me no matter what!" Big Hand With a wave: "Count the casualties, set up camp, and continue to pursue tomorrow! I want Jiannu to remember this day forever!"

The soldiers of the Ming army responded loudly: "Good!"

Already some soldiers couldn't hold back anymore, they took a sack in one hand and a dogleg knife in the other to cut off the heads.The first rank means military merit and bounty, who doesn't know this?The fight was so brutal just now that everyone was so red-eyed that they didn't care about other things. Now, when I look at it, oh my god, there are countless corpses of post-golden soldiers lying on the ground. These are all money!They scrambled to grab a corpse, chopped off the head and threw it into the sack, and then rushed to the next one, with that kind of speed, that kind of passion, as if farmers were harvesting crops in a harvest field... Well, in these In the eyes of the soldiers of the Ming army, the corpses of these Houjin soldiers were ripe crops, and it would be unreasonable not to cut them!They raced against the clock and divided the work into pieces. Many wounded soldiers were still moaning and begging, but they chopped off their heads.They even quarreled for the head: "This battlefield belongs to us, and of course the head belongs to us, you are not allowed to grab it!"

The Dongjiang Army and the Sichuan Army not only cut off the heads, but also stripped off the armor of the Houjin soldiers, completely ignoring the horrific patches of blood on them, and put them on their bodies happily.Although these armors are often damaged, they can still be used after repairing and should not be wasted.The Dongjiang army showed superb skills in collecting spoils. Not only weapons, armors, heads, flags and other good things, but even the clothes of the Houjin soldiers were stripped off. It seemed that there was no grass growing wherever he went, only a large number of headless dead bodies with bare buttocks left.The Sichuan army thought that they were ruthless enough to collect the loot, but who knew that after they finished their tossing, the Dongjiang army rushed over excitedly to further process the constitution, and then the Sichuan army was stunned to see the loot collected by the Dongjiang army soldiers who were originally empty-handed. Dressed in casual bags... How ruthless are these guys collecting loot?Not even letting go of the iron armor leaves scattered on the ground...

According to the final statistics, more than [-] people were beheaded, more than [-] people were captured, and countless armors, weapons, flags, and grain were captured. loot.The fleeing war horses were also collected, patched together, there were as many as [-] horses, all of which could charge again, and those horses that were too seriously injured had already been slaughtered by the soldiers collecting the spoils.It is worth mentioning that the achievements of the Ming army were far more than that. At least thousands of corpses were either burnt into coke or blown into parts, and it was impossible to cut off their heads, so they could not be included in the statistics. Even so, It is also a very frightening record.

In this battle, the Ming army killed and injured more than [-] people.More than a quarter of the nine thousand Guanmen Sichuan army died, and the Dongjiang army was even worse, with half of them gone. The general soldier Huang Long died in battle, Mao Yongjun was seriously injured, Huang Yulang was seriously injured when he charged into the battle, Zhang Chengjie was seriously injured, Li Zhonghan was seriously injured... [-] Of the [-] Ming troops, a quarter of them were killed or wounded. It was truly appalling. This battle was even more tragic than the Battle of Dalinghe.After Jin won the battle of Daling River, all the Baylors cried bitterly in front of Huang Taiji and said that the casualties were too heavy. Now that they have suffered a disastrous defeat, how would Huang Taiji feel?

These post-Golden troops who are fleeing desperately are no longer willing to think about it. They have abandoned all pride and self-confidence, and only care about fleeing. Thousands of people, forgetting that they still have bows, arrows and sabers in their hands to resist, they only care about running, running, running, the farther the better.Abatai and Manggurtai sent several troops to try to stop the Ming army, but in an instant these troops were smashed by the Lancers and Chasseurs, and there were thousands of flesh and blood on the horse necks of the Ming army cavalry Fuzzy head.In such a desperate situation, veteran generals such as Abatai and Manggurtai were also desperate for it. They didn't dare to think about counterattack any more. They could only urge the troops to withdraw quickly and retreat to Jinzhou to take a breath before making plans.Perhaps in their view, although Jin suffered heavy losses after this battle, the main force is still there. As long as they can hold their ground and find the Ming army's flaws, they have a chance to come back.

The two of them didn't know that the opportunities left to them and Hou Jin by the heavens were running out.
