Near the second line of defense, in addition to these artillery and infantry, there were thousands of war horses.

All of this was collected in the past few days. In order to allow these infantry to retreat quickly, Zhu Cixuan sent all his war horses here.

After all, the Qing people rode horses. If we were to run with our legs, we might not be able to run away from others.

On the first line of defense, because the opponent was caught off guard and buried a lot of ghost thunder, the Qing Dynasty talents were unable to pursue them.

The second line of defense has a wide view here. If it is still arranged according to the previous arrangements, it may not have much effect, so it must be equipped with some war horses for the infantry that retreated here.

These soldiers have not received immediate training. If they were asked to fight on horseback, they would probably not have much results, but if they were asked to escape on horseback, there would be no problem.

"Report to the general, the Qing army, twenty miles from here..."

"Report to the general, the Qing army, ten miles from here!"

"Report to the general..."

With one report after another, everyone under his command also knew that the Qing army was about to come.

According to their previous plan, it would take at least half an hour. It seems that the Qing people were fighting their lives. When they passed through that minefield, they all came by the lives of soldiers.

This guy, Hauge, is also a hero on the battlefield. Naturally, he knows that there are all kinds of difficulties on the way to retreat, and he must not control himself just because of a small minefield.

So this guy selected 500 suicide squads and let them use their bodies to clear a way for the Qing army.

The dust in the distance had already covered the sky and the sun. Compared with the first line of defense, the Qing army's ranks were already much messed up. Although the original organization was still there, if you carefully observe the expressions on the faces of these soldiers, you would have so much more fear than when you were just now.

This is also a very normal thing. Although they have 70,000 to 80,000 people, they lost more than 5,000 people in just one meeting. If there were many such interception and blockade lines behind them, I don’t know how many people would die to return to the capital.

There were originally 5,500 soldiers in Oboi's Pioneer Battalion, but now there are less than 2,000 people left. However, because his men are more powerful in combat, Brother Hao transferred 3,000 people from other places and still let Oboi serve as the general of the Pioneer Battalion.

People on the battlefield generally have pre-perceptions, and Oboi is the same at this moment. He can feel that there is something different in front of him, because some murderous aura is faintly floating over from the front.

When they bypassed a mountain ridge, they understood what murderous aura was.

The Ming soldiers were no longer covered up, they were just two or three miles ahead.

"Why are you still standing there? The whole army rushed up to me. No matter how many people died, they must have to fight for the prince."

The enemies were particularly jealous when they met. Since the Crown Prince's Northern Expedition, many relatives of the Qing people died under the Ming soldiers. So these people were all jealous at this moment, and there was no need for pre-war mobilization. They pulled out their waist knife and rushed forward.

The Qing people thought it was to avenge their relatives, but they didn't think about it carefully. Since you entered the pass, I don't know how many Han people have suffered.

Even on your way back, you are forced to force thousands of Han people to fight you as laborers and some people are persecuted immediately.

This time the layout of the battlefield was much stronger than the first line of defense. After the Qing people launched a charge, they immediately discovered that the difference was different.

A few hundred meters ahead of them, the Ming soldiers buried many grenades here, one exploded after another.

Many very brave Qing soldiers were sent to the west by grenades without even firing a bow and arrow on the battlefield.

However, the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty did not have any soft hearts because they had heard that these people did not do serious business in Wuchang City. The total number of ordinary people who died directly or indirectly at their hands was as high as 90,000.

This means that everyone has at least one life in their hands. Even if they keep all these guys in the north of Wuchang City, it is reasonable.

"Show me an arrow, no one can retreat, and anyone who retreats back is beheaded immediately."

Because there were no dangers on the way forward, some cavalrymen were ready to retreat. When they turned the dock over, they saw bows and arrows shining with cold light from behind.

Oboi had already prepared the supervision team, and now he was dead except moving forward, because there was no way out behind him.

More than a dozen arrows flew out at a rapid speed, leaving many soldiers helpless and able to continue rushing into the Ming camp.

The Ming soldiers were even less afraid. They stayed in the trenches honestly and then aimed at the dark shadows in the distance.

When I thought I could shoot, I calmly killed the opponent. There were 11,000 infantry soldiers on the entire position, not only in large numbers, but the most important thing was that the number of veterans increased a lot.

When they used flintlock rifles, their marksmanship was very accurate. Now they have changed into Mauser rifles, almost one shot at a time. With the help of these veterans, even if there are some new recruits next to them, they can calm down and work hard to kill the enemy.

The roar of the cannons sounded quickly. If Oboi hadn't been far away, he would have been affected by artillery shells at this moment.

The Qing people wanted to pass quickly, but the Ming army did not allow them to pass.

There were fallen cavalry everywhere along the way, and many soldiers and war horses were moaning on the charge. They still had half their lives, but the brothers rushing over from behind didn't care about them at all and rushed over directly on their bodies.

This is also impossible. If they look for a way to charge along the way, they will be exposed for a longer time.

The Ming soldiers' marksmanship was much more accurate than before. Even if they had a few more seconds, they might have lost their lives here, so they could not care about their lives or death.

Zheng Sen saw it very clearly with the telescope. Many soldiers' arms and thighs were broken. The tragic image was as ugly as it was.

But for the Qing soldiers, they seemed to have not seen it because they knew very well that if they could not rush through, they would be even more uglier than the soldiers who died.

"General, look, Haoge's army rushed over..."
