Chapter three hundred and thirty second dead end
"The flowering bullet is the flowering bullet, the flowering bullet of the Han people... Everyone, run away!" A scream filled with horror quickly rang among the Mongolians...
The orderly march just now became like a battalion, and it instantly became chaotic...
However, no matter how fast the Mongols reacted, they were not as fast as the flight speed of the shells.
Besides, these Mongolians did not know the specific way to avoid flower bullets, and all their efforts were in vain.
Therefore, the Mongolians crowded on the mountain road had just reacted, and more than 30 flowering bullets that were whistling over their heads.
Because of the use of stone casters, more than 30 flowering bullets did not have much accuracy.
There were less than ten, and there were explosions among the Mongolians who landed on the mountain road near or far.
However, these shells caused almost hundreds of people to kill the Mongols crowded on the mountain road.
Although the explosion that occurred on the mountain road stopped, the screams of the injured Mongolians still did not stop at all. The second round of flowering bullets that roared towards them had already come to their heads again.
The shells fell to the ground and exploded. Hundreds of Mongolians were knocked to the ground with despair before their death. Life and death were uncertain.
Faced with this kind of attack without any counterattack or response, the Mongolians could not bear the five rounds of artillery fire, and fled from the shelling area with horror and despair.
When the remaining Mongolians left hundreds of bodies and escaped from the shelling area, a rumor quickly came from the panicked Mongolians.
"The mountain road in front of me has been blocked by the heavy troops of the Tiger and Leopard Army, otherwise, the Tiger and Leopard Army that blocked itself would never have such a large number of artillery guns. They shot so many powerful flowering bullets at themselves at one time."
"Under the heavy interception of the Tiger and Leopard Army, coupled with so many artillery and flowering bullets, even if all of them were bombed to death, they would not be able to break through the Tiger and Leopard Army's blockade."
"If you want to escape from here alive and return to Mongolia alive, you can only choose the direction of breaking through..."
"We must find Belle Dorgon, and withdraw from the battlefield with the resourceful Dorgon, and escape from this tomb that may be buried at any time..."
Facing rumors and facing the battlefield full of blood in front of you, it was like a battlefield like hell. The Mongols with low morale and panic were directly lost.
Directly under the orders of generals at all levels, it quickly disappeared in front of the Tiger and Leopard Army like a gust of wind.
More than 1,800 Mongolians finally successfully evacuated the mountain pass, less than 1,400 people.
When these Mongolians rushed to the official road with fear on their faces, wanting to retreat with Beller Dorgon, they happened to run into the Mongolians who retreated from another mountain pass.
Under the attack of the same number of mortars and catapults, the Mongols suffered no less losses than theirs.
As a result, the two Mongols, who suffered heavy losses and were still scared, had to join forces and chase after Dorgon's retreat with less than 3,000 cavalrymen.
What these Mongols did not expect was that Dorgon, who was rushing in the front, was also blocked by the Tiger and Leopard Army.
Dorgon, who was eager to withdraw from the battlefield and avoid being surrounded by the Tiger and Leopard Army, did not send scouts on the way of retreating.
One thousand white flag cavalry, one thousand musketeers, and hundreds of Mongolians. They all rode on war horses and rode their horses along the official road.
In order to preserve his strength and escape the encirclement of the Tiger and Leopard Army, Dorgon was destined to pay a very heavy price for his carelessness.
Dorgon, who was running wildly along the way, did not notice it. On the ridge on the side of the official road, his eyes full of murderous intent were staring at them motionlessly.
Because of the unique plateau terrain in Shaanxi, there are hundreds of ridges of the Tiger and Leopard Army. Although there are dozens of steps and height differences from the official road, the straight line is only less than ten steps. The ridge along the official road is like a cliff along the official road, which can be called straight up and down.
The cavalry that marched rapidly on the official road could not rush up even if they wanted to attack the Tiger and Leopard Army on the ridge.
It is precisely because of this favorable terrain that the bold He Guozhong dared to completely disperse the limited troops in his hands. Here, the vanguard of Dorgon's vanguard was caught off guard and gave Dorgon a wake-up call...
Hundreds of musketeers lined up on the official road with a line of ridges to form a huge ambush circle with long hair and a mile.
Not only that, every musketeer holds a flowering bullet with the fuse lead exposed.
In He Guozhong's words, such a good ambush battlefield and such a close attack distance, even a woman can easily throw the flowering bullet onto the official road.
More than 400 flowering bullets were separated by two steps, and exploded on the official road in a line.
He Guozhong was confident that even if he encountered the heavy armored cavalry of the Later Jin Dynasty, he could cause a devastating blow to Dorgon in a short period of time. What's more, the only ones who rushed into his ambush circle were only hundreds of light cavalry wearing wallets.
Therefore, He Guozhong was full of confidence in the ambush circle he had carefully arranged.
Seeing more and more Mongolians rushing into the ambush circle on the official road, He Guozhong was even happier than eating honey.
At this time, a messenger hurried over and reported in a low voice: "Sir, the team lying in front of him has lit the signal smoke. The Mongolians who rushed into the ambush circle are about to rush out. Should we launch an attack immediately?"
At this time, He Guozhong quickly restrained the smile on his face and ordered the commander in front of him with a serious face.
"Send a signal to your brothers immediately to destroy the Mongolians under our feet."
On the ambush battlefield that stretches for a mile, if you want to pass the attack order to every soldier's ears, in this era without radio, He Guozhong's best choice is a signal flare made of fireworks.
Therefore, as soon as He Guozhong's general order blurted out, a short-barrel musket used to fire the signal channel was taken out by the messenger.
Point at the sky and pull the signal gun trigger without hesitation.
The sharp roar of the signal flare flying into the sky was covered by the roar of the horses running on the official road. However, the flame produced by the explosion of the signal flare in the air was clearly reflected in the eyes of all the soldiers participating in the battle.
"Brothers, lord gave the order and immediately threw the flower bullets at the Mongolians on the official road..."
"Top the flower bullets immediately and scare these damn Mongolians to death with the flower bullets..."
All kinds of orders came out from these squad leaders, platoon leaders....
The flowering bullets that were lit by the lead fuse were quickly thrown at the official road under their feet by the Tiger and Leopard soldiers.
Compared with mortars with a range of hundreds of steps, soldiers who only need to throw shells away more than a dozen steps away obviously have better accuracy.
More than 400 flowering bullets falling from the sky, more than 80% of them fell on the official road very accurately.
As the deafening explosion sounded on the official road, the explosion of smoke and fireballs quickly covered the Mongolian cavalry on the official road.
As for their final result, there is only one: that is, in the steel storm composed of flowering bullets, they were swept to the ground bloodily and turned into corpses...
Faced with the sudden explosion, I saw the tribe members rushing in front of me suddenly be covered by gunpowder and disappeared without a trace.
The cavalry that followed closely, under the action of conditioned reflex, directly tightened the reins of the war horse, preventing the cavalry from rushing into the murderous official road in front of him. Then, they quickly pulled out the weapons hanging on the horse's back and prepared for the battle.
As for Dorgon, who was retreating with the musketeers, although he heard the explosion from the front, he was still almost a mile away from the ambush circle and did not know what was going on ahead.
When he hurried to the battlefield surrounded by his personal guards, he collided with the messenger who was about to report to him, and knew what was going on before, and began to issue a series of general orders to his subordinates.
The Tiger and Leopard Army, which had thrown the flowering bullets, had hurriedly evacuated the battlefield, leaving Dorgon with corpses everywhere on the official road.
When Dorgon hurried to the edge of the ambush circle with anxiety on his face, the smoke that enveloped the official road had completely dissipated. What followed was a strong smell of blood.
At this moment, the corpse fell into Dorgon's vision, not only the corpse, but also the corpse.
At one glance, there were at least four hundred people.
You should know that the cavalry lying on the official road in front of you were not inferior Mongolians, but fewer and fewer cavalry in the white flag and were regarded as treasures by Dorgon.
What's more important is that he lost so many Later Jin cavalry at once, but he didn't even see the shadow of the enemy.
However, Dorgon knew that in the current land of Shaanxi, only the old opponent, Tiger and Leopard Army, could cause such great damage to himself in a short period of time.
Therefore, facing the terrible official road in front of him, Dorgon's face showed a look of fear.
At the same time, he was also thinking in his heart: Why did the Tiger and Leopard Army appear here? What is the purpose of the Tiger and Leopard Army appearing here?
"No, is the Tiger and Leopard Army preparing to encircle its reinforcements, and has arrived, intending to block himself outside Dingbian City and destroy himself..." Dorgon, who couldn't help but be shocked, subconsciously exclaimed.
At this time, the deputy general who had been following behind him spoke: "Master Beile, except for the losses just now, we have only less than two thousand people left. If the Tiger and Leopard Army is really in front of us, then we have to retreat. This way of retreating from other directions is optional."
The more I thought about it, the more I became more and more sure of Dorgon, who was inferred by himself, directly agreed to the deputy general: "You are right. We no longer have the capital to fight the Tiger and Leopard Army. We must preserve our strength and withdraw from the battlefield as soon as possible."
After saying that, Dorgon, who had a serious face, ordered: "The back team changed to the front team and retreated immediately. We retreated from the mountain road northeast of Dingbian County, and we must not fall into the encirclement of the Tiger and Leopard Army."
