Chapter 416 Greeting the Fu Army
Du Yinxi roared and the war drums on all sides began to beat.
The rapid sound of war drums emitted a signal of attack, covering up the sound on the battlefield for a while.
All the Ming soldiers on the north bank were inspired by this and launched a final attack on the Qing army like crazy.
The division was as broken as a mountain, and the cavalry that had lost its speed was trapped in the Ming army formation and immediately became a target.
The Ming army sent the cavalry to poke the cavalry, and used the short soldiers to cut off the horse's legs with a sword and axe. The Ming soldiers also jumped up and rushed down the Qing army on the horse's back. When they pressed the sword to the ground, they slashed the sword, and the blood and meat splattered. The crazy Ming army did not stand up until they cut the Qing army into a pile of meat paste.
"Kill the enemy!" Ming soldiers' eyes were red and roared wildly.
For a time, all the soldiers of the Ming army fought for the first place, one after another, and only died.
The Qing cavalry finally became frightened and drove away one after another. The heavy cavalry collided with the light cavalry behind and disrupted the Qing army's formation.
Obai was furious, but he was unable to stop the cavalry.
At this time, Oboi was shouting loudly, and suddenly a general rushed towards him. Oboi was shocked and had no intention of fighting. He slashed out with one knife and forced the Ming general to retreat, and then followed the Qing cavalry to flee north.
The Ming general did not catch up with Oboi, galloped to the corpse, rolled over and dismounted, his eyes filled with tears, "Old Liu!"
When Liu Tichun saw that it was Li Guo, blood gushed out of his mouth, "Kill the enemy and avenge me~" he said, and glared at the end.
Liu Tichun was also known as Liu Feihu. He was originally a general of Li Zicheng. He was brave and good at fighting. After Li Zicheng's death, he accepted the title of Southern Ming and was the Duke of Wan. He led his army to Kuidong. He was one of the thirteen families in Kuidong. He persisted in resisting the Qing Dynasty for decades. After his defeat, his whole family hanged himself.
"Kill the enemy!" Li Guo's eyes were red and he roared wildly.
The Ming army soldiers ran wildly, and the red-eyed Ming army soldiers were everywhere. The Qing army collapsed on the front, which quickly affected the Qing army's infantry, which was not predominant, struggled to support it, and the danger continued. At this time, it collapsed and fled one after another.
The Qing army collapsed across the board, and under the Daqian Banner, Haoge never dreamed that the horse army would collapse first. He saw tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, with no rules, and his infantry and cavalry fleeing in various places, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of despair.
Less than an hour of battle, the Qing army collapsed across the board, which made Haoge unacceptable for a moment. He shouted loudly, but to no avail.
At this time, Chen Youlong and Jiao Lian led their troops to break through the left and right wings to block the Hauge flag.
Haoge was unwilling to accept it, but he did not hesitate. When he saw the defeated army in Manye, he could no longer turn the tables. He drove his horses away, and the guards rushed forward and sacrificed their lives to resist the rushing Ming army.
Haoge ran away, the flag flag was still there. The flag was the command center of the army and the symbol of the commander. In order to allow soldiers on the entire battlefield to see it, the flagpole is generally extremely tall and multiple flag bearers and flag guards must be equipped to ensure that the flag will not be blown down by the wind. On the way not to march, the flagpole is deeply inserted on the ground.
At this time, Haoge retreated, and several flag-protecting bearers hurriedly couldn't pull away the flag. Chen Youlong rushed over first and killed the Qing army's flag-protecting bearers. Then, looking at the Qing army's flag-protecting flag, he couldn't help but laugh to the sky, snatched the flag, pulled it out, and threw it on the ground.
At this time, the Qing army had been defeated, and the disappearance of the flag increased the fear of the defeated soldiers and destroyed their last bit of courage. At this moment, they were no longer brave and warlike Qing soldiers, but just defeated soldiers who fled in a hurry.
The Ming army defeated the Qing army's infantry and surrounded the retreat route of the Qing cavalry on both sides. The Qing cavalry fled in a hurry and was shot off the horse by the Ming army. They were stabbed by a long spear during the mercedes, and suffered heavy casualties.
The Ming army infantry and cavalry chased the Qing army, musketeers and crossbowmen unscrupulously shot and killed the Qing army's remaining soldiers.
The battle on the north bank made the Ming army on the south bank stunned.
In less than an hour of the entire battle, the Ming army defeated tens of thousands of Qing troops, and reversed the situation in one fell swoop.
Seeing the Ming army on the North Bank so bravely, the generals of He Tengjiao and others who were watching the battle were stunned.
At this time, the sound of the sky came from the north bank. Countless Ming soldiers stood on the battlefield where blood was scattering their feet and made earth-shaking cheers, which finally made everyone come to their senses. However, they all looked pale and were frightened to death. Zhang Xianbi, who had escaped back to the south bank, even urinated.
The battlefield gradually calmed down, and the Ming army, who had killed red-eyed, did not leave any prisoners. Many of the Green Camp soldiers who knelt on the ground to surrender were all killed by the Ming army.
In less than an hour, tens of thousands of Qing troops collapsed under the attack of the Ming army. Haoge and Obai led the remaining troops to flee north.
Du Yinxi looked around the battlefield, looking at the land stained with blood, corpses covered with the earth, and war horses scattered everywhere, and sighing in his heart.
The loud cheers sounded from his side. The Ming soldiers burned their boats, fought with their backs, and fought to the death, and finally won this hard-won victory.
Since the Jiashen Kingdom's Reform, the Ming army has retreated all the way. Although it has repelled the Qing army's attack in recent years, the Qing army is tired of fighting and cannot fight and retreat voluntarily. The Ming army in Huguang rarely wins great victories.
This battle can be regarded as the first great victory of the Ming army in Huguang, which not only reversed the situation, but also washed away the shame.
Especially for the Ming army in Shunshi who were driven from Shanhaiguan to Hunan by the Qing army, they finally proved their strength with iron and blood, the shame of Yixue since the Battle of Yipian Stone.
In an instant, cheers were surging. The Ming soldiers waved their weapons hard, venting the sadness of their hearts and dancing inside. The soldiers shouted wildly, raising their voices.
Du Yinxi listened to the cheers of the soldiers and thought that he had finally won this great victory for many years when he fought against the Qing Dynasty. Tears surged out of his eyes and he was actually full of tears.
However, Du Yinxi quickly wiped away his tears and shouted loudly: "Although the enemy has been defeated, his strength is still there. It is not the time to celebrate. I will send an order to pursue the army immediately, take advantage of the victory to Yuezhou and kill the slave chief!"
The drums of war sounded, and the cheering soldiers immediately headed north, chasing the Qing army all the way, without giving the Qing army a chance to breathe.
Along the way, Haoge gathered the defeated troops several times, and was defeated by the red-eyed Ming army. The Ming army soldiers were tireless and as if they were shot with chicken blood, all the soldiers were willing to take ten, and all nine battles were won.
The 50,000 Qing troops and all infantry were lost. Haoge and Oboi led only 6,000 cavalry to flee north. Before entering Yuezhou, they rushed back to Wuchang.
That night, Du Yinxi returned to the camp after victory. The army reached the gate, and the ground fell to a large number of kneeling.
Tens of thousands of He Tengjiao's personal troops knelt on one knee. Zhang Xianbi, Liu Chengyin, Cao Zhijian and other generals crawled on the ground. No one dared to look up at Du Yinxi, and they knelt on the ground, bowed to the horse, and said, "Welcome the army!"
Chapter completed!
