At this time, if you look from a high altitude, you can clearly find that a thin and tortuous line of troops was driving away a thick crowd, like a slender wave, struggling to hit the thick embankment.

The front of more than 40,000 people is indeed thin compared to nearly 40,000 followers.

Wu Zheng had no choice. From Qi Chenghao, he learned that Li Haiwei had already entered the capital from Yifeng Gate. Wu Zheng knew that things were going bad.

Nikan is not a rookie. He would never be able to withdraw troops like the Ming army without any concealment.

Even if you lure the enemy, you can tell it out with just one tentative feint attack.

Then, the great victory over Guan Ming's army without the Lihaiwei firearms was absolutely impossible to stop Nikan's Qing army from twice as many.

It was obviously too late to rush back to the West City and set off. Wu Zheng gritted his teeth and reorganized the imperial guards of Huang Dazhan's troops on the spot.

Wu Zheng said a few words to these imperial guards, "At this time, the war in Dasheng Pass is urgent. I will give you a way out. Those who die in Dasheng Pass and make meritorious contributions will be unrestrained in the past and those who are passive and lazy in the battle will be punished to their families with both crimes!"

So, this "miscellaneous army" was found.

With Qi Chenghao's 1,000 musketeers as the front drive, more than 3,000 imperial guards followed him. More than 4,000 such vanguards frightened Nikan's 8,000 vanguards, so that the Qing army's vanguards defeated the central army and were in full swing!

The soldiers of the imperial guards following behind the musket camp were really stunned. They were indeed ready to die on the battlefield, especially those of the imperial guards who were chasing Wu Zheng, who wanted to use their own death to exchange for their family's life. This would be much better than being killed by those who were treasoned for rebellion and rebellion at the Meridian Gate, which would cause trouble to their families.

However, they found that it was too difficult to die today.

The Qing army retreated like avoiding the plague, and they did not even look back to see how many people there were in the Northern Expedition Army.

Even Nikan is the case.

Fear of the Northern Expedition arms has become a disease of the Qing army under Nikan. No wonder, the 120,000 troops led by Nikan from Jiangpu, except for the more than 10,000 wounded soldiers who retreated to the other side of the river, these people are now alive.

Of the more than 60,000 losses in the war, 60% came from Chen Sheng's Lihaiwei. You should know that Lihaiwei joined the war after noon the second day of the war, and only guarded the Jinchuan Gate.

If it weren't for the intermittent ammunition supply, Chen Sheng would definitely be sure that after leaving the city to counterattack on the second day of the war, he would drive the 40,000 Qing troops down from the Yangtze River to feed the fish.

Therefore, Nikan did not think that the pursuers behind were just blackmailing, scaring, dull shooting sounds, and dense explosions sounded, and naturally thought that Chen Sheng's Li Haiwei was back.

Then, even if the Qing army, which had lost the protection of the Great Victory Pass, could only be the target of muskets. If it did not retreat at this time, when would it last?

Wu Zheng was not surprised. After fighting for four and a half years, he was very skilled in controlling the battlefield, which was not an exaggeration at all.

This is like the feeling of carding when playing cards, and the thinking of the opponent's psychology, Wu Zheng concluded that Nikan dared not fight against the Musket Camp.

If Nikan dared, he would not have had 40,000 troops in his hands, nor would he dare to come out of seclusion and take the initiative to fight back.

This is true, Nikan led his troops to flee.

Wu Zheng became more and more powerful and sent cavalry at the right time. Yes, it was the 1,000 war horses that Qi Chenghao's musketeers were very troubled by.

By returning them to the imperial guards, there was this thousand-man cavalry.

Nikan was really about to cry. No matter how sharp the musketeers were, they had to chase them with their legs. As long as they fled wildly, the Ming army would not be able to catch up.

But why did the Ming army have cavalry?

You should know that Dasheng Pass crosses the waterway. If you escape from east to west, you need to wading by water. Although this waterway is not deep, it is definitely an obstacle to escape, especially in such a time of chaos.

Nikan had to make the decision to cut off his armies and ordered some of the front teams of the central army to turn into the back teams, blocking the pursuers of the Ming army and covering the front and crossing the river with him.

Nikan's heart was indeed cruel enough, he was cruel to himself, and he left behind five thousand central troops, fought back from the riverside, and launched a counterattack against the Ming cavalry that was chasing him.

As Nikan boarded the ferry under the escort of his personal soldiers, countless Qing soldiers took the initiative to jump into the river like dumplings.

God knows how many people in the Qing army were landslides. After this "thump" sound, a splash of water splashed, he saw two hands dancing on the water surface, and then slowly disappeared.

This is how the Qing army by the river continues to follow. This tragic phenomenon made Nikan on the ferry stomp his feet and roar hysterically, but he had no choice but to do anything.

What made Nikan even worse than death was that he was surprised to find that the Ming cavalry that was chasing him was blocked by the six thousand severing rear central troops left behind.

Blocked?

Blocked!

Although Nikan's central army was not the Eight Banners of Manchu and Mongolia, the Eight Banners of Han were basically from the north of the Yellow River. To be precise, the first banner of the Eight Banners of Han was the Han army flag formed by Wang Tianxiang, captured by Huang Taiji Yongping's war. The flag was green and led by the queen Tong Yangxing.

After Kong Youde took the initiative to surrender to the Qing Dynasty with thousands of large and large artillery artillery craftsmen, Huang Taiji expanded the Han flag into the Han flag, and two years later, it expanded the Han flag into the Han flag.

Three years later, in the seventh year of Chongde, the Qing court won the Battle of Songjin, and organized the surrenders to this battle with the people who surrendered to Daling River. They formed the Eight Banners Han Army together with the original Han people. The flag color was the same as that of the Eight Banners Manchu, and then the Eight Banners Han Banners were here.

To say this, most of the eight banners of the Han Dynasty are hard-core "traitors", but they are elite veterans who have experienced many battles.

They are very experienced in dealing with cavalry.

Facing the cavalry's recoil, they approached a certain distance, and curled up and lay down, waiting for the Ming cavalry to come up and cut off the horse's legs.

This method is dangerous and basically a life-and-death life, but it is indeed very effective.

Because war horses are spiritual animals, they have obstacles when they are in the face of the year, especially when living people, they often choose to dodge or jump up. The rider can control the war horses to dodge with the reins, but it is generally difficult to control the war horses to jump down actively.

Therefore, being trampled basically occurs in the back row of the cavalry line, because the war horses behind cannot see obstacles in front.

But once the front-line war horse is injured and the horse's hooves are cut off, it will fall down and the rider will be thrown out by inertia.

The cavalry behind not only trampled on the Qing army, but also bumped into the injured war horses and riders on their side.

The chaos caused by this is controlled by the well-prepared subsequent Qing soldiers, which can block the cavalry's charge.

Since you have left the dead, you will be dead for a lifetime.

These soldiers of the Eight Banners of Han knew very well that even if they were lucky enough to die, they would be killed by the prisoners, so they fought very fiercely.

Almost three or four lives were used to exchange for a Ming cavalry.
