Chapter 258 Intercepting the Qing Army’s Rear Team

North of Zunhua City, Qingshan Pass.

The last Qing army was escorting a large number of looted people and property through the pass.

"Hurry up!" A Tatar Han servant urged the captured people, and if they were not satisfied, he would whip and beat them.

These Han slaves were usually abused by the Tatars. Once they came out to rob, they would treat the Han people even more cruelly than the Tatars, which fully exposed their twisted and perverted psychology.

An older man, probably hungry and tired, fell down while walking. The captured people had their arms tied with ropes to prevent them from escaping. If one person fell, it would affect the progress of the entire team.

Two followers of the Tatars came up immediately, punching and kicking the man who fell down until he screamed in agony. The Tatars on the side laughed happily as they watched the Chinese dogs biting the dogs.

"Bang bang bang!" A sound of firecrackers came.

Several Tatar followers were immediately knocked down, and the captured Han people immediately started a commotion. After all, no one wanted to be robbed and taken to Liaodong as slaves.

"Enemy attack, enemy attack!" the Tatars shouted loudly, immediately letting go of the escorted people and property, and formed a battle formation to prepare for a counterattack.

"Da da da"

There was a sound of intensive horse hoofbeats, and the officers and soldiers of the 1st Cavalry Division of the Zhenming Army came quickly from the west side. They controlled the horses and fired at the same time, causing the Tatars to fall off their horses.

Soon the Qing army's rear column was cut into two sections, and about two thousand Tatars were blocked.

This was indeed the time when the Tatar combat effectiveness was at its peak. Although there was a sudden attack, after a brief panic, the Tatar guard Gapushuo in the rear team immediately organized on-site defense.

Although the Tatars responded quickly, due to the large amount of property escorted, the Tatars were still relatively scattered. By the time the people gathered, less than half of them had been divided and eliminated by the Zhenming Army.

Gapushuo immediately decided to enter the pass again. The Ming army inside the pass was like a sheep, and they would definitely not be able to stop their two thousand cavalry.

But when they retreated to Qingshan Pass, they found that Qingshan Pass had been reoccupied by the Ming army. When launching the charge, Lin Feng had already sent Panda to lead two hundred officers and soldiers of the Guards Brigade to seize Qingshan Pass.

Gapushuo had no choice but to lead the remaining Tatars to retreat to a hilltop near the pass and wait for reinforcements.

There is only one road up the mountain, which is easy to defend but difficult to attack. The Tatars guarded the entrance, and it was difficult for the Zhenming Army to attack it for a while.

Division Commander Lu Xiangsheng observed the terrain and found that there was no water source on the mountain, so he decided to temporarily abandon the attack on the mountain and instead besieged it to reduce casualties.

At this time, Yue Tuo, who was at the back of the Qing army, was riding and chatting with his deputy Du Du, thinking about the beautiful days after returning to Shengjing.

At this time, a sentry horse galloped over quickly and shouted: "General, the rear army was attacked by the Ming army and suffered heavy losses!"

"What, there is actually a Ming army that dares to pursue the grassland. Vice General Du, you continue on the road with the loot captured by the Chinese army, and catch up with Prince Rui's front army as soon as possible. The other troops follow me!" Yue Tuo quickly ordered.

"Cha!" Du Du responded.

Yue Tuo turned his horse's head and led three thousand cavalry back to support. He didn't think much about it. No matter where the Ming army came, there was nothing to worry about with three thousand cavalry.

Yue Tuo led the team and galloped for about twenty miles, when he saw smoke billowing in front, and the 5,000 people in the Tatar rear team had been dispersed. It has been divided into countless teams and is still fighting against the Ming army.

"What kind of Ming army actually came to the grassland to fight in the field?" Yue Tuo thought in confusion, while shouting: "Charge!"

The Qing cavalry rushed over quickly.

"Bang bang bang" the sound of dense firecrackers came.

The Zhenming Army ambushing on both sides fired a volley, and at least two to three hundred Qing troops were shot down.

Yue Tuo felt a heartache in his heart. The Qing army's cavalry was very capable in individual combat, and every single one of them was precious. Two to three hundred horsemen could chase and fight tens of thousands of Ming troops in the pass, and their deaths would be in vain.

This time the two armies were also close, and more than a thousand Mongolian cavalry rushed out from the mountain col on one side. They were the soldiers and horses of the Ordos Right Banner in ambush. "Damn Mongols!" Yue Tuo figured it out at this time. It turned out that it was the Mongolian tribes on the grassland who wanted to get in and get a share of the pie.

"Kill!" Yue Tuo shouted, and the two armies collided quickly.

Yue Tuo was tall, long-armed, and extremely powerful. He wielded a long sword. Under the cover of a group of personal guards, he was invincible and killed dozens of cavalrymen from the Right Banner.

At this time, Lu Xiangsheng commanded a brigade reserve of the 1st Cavalry Division to cut off the retreat of Yue Tuo's troops, preparing to leave all the Tatars behind.

The more Yue Tuo watched, the angrier he became. When did the Ming army become so bold? The Qing army trailed behind and wiped out 5,000 people. Including the 3,000 people he brought, there were a total of 8,000 people. There were even Ming soldiers. I want to destroy them all.

Out of anger in his heart, Yue Tuo became more and more ruthless, and the cavalry of the Ordos Right Banner were killed and fled in all directions.

When Lin Feng saw how brave Yue Tuo was, he was immediately interested in him and led a team of personal guards to meet him. Several personal guards brought the newly issued Type 39 breech-loading rifles, and a few gunshots cleared out several of the personal guards around Yue Tuo.

Yue Tuo was shocked, but he was not afraid. Instead, he clapped his horse and rushed forward, showing his high confidence in his personal martial arts.

Lin Feng stretched out his hand to stop the bodyguard from continuing to shoot. He took out a special horizontal knife from the space and faced it. The two knives collided and cremation sprayed everywhere.

Lin Feng also felt a dull pain in his wrist, the shock was too strong. Yue Tuo was even more frightened when he was beaten. He was famous for his superior force in the Qing army. He didn't expect that this famous general who seemed to be gentle and gentle could have such strength. A few blows had already caused his mouth to bleed.

The two of them cut each other for a few more rounds, and finally the long knife in Yue Tuo's hand couldn't bear the break. He sighed and asked: "Who are you?"

"Zhenming Army Governor Lin Feng!"

"Are you Lin Feng? I didn't expect the commander-in-chief of an army to have such force."

"Exactly, Yue Tuo, surrender. For the sake of your martial arts, as long as you recruit the Qing cavalry brought by you, I will spare your life."

"In our Qing Dynasty, we only have Baylor who died in battle, but no Baylor who surrendered!" Yue Tuo shouted, and charged forward again brandishing half of his sword.

Lin Feng dodged sideways and slashed with his backhand. Yue Tuo stretched out his knife to block again, but because the long knife had been broken, it was blocked. Lin Feng hit him in the chest with the knife. The breastplate cracked and blood spurted out.

Yue Tuo laughed miserably, feeling that all his strength had been lost, and he could no longer hold the broken knife. He finally said: "Have a good beating!" He looked at Lin Feng with his eyes firmly, and fell off the horse with a plop.

In this time and space, Yue Tuo did not die of illness, but died on the battlefield. This was considered his fate to leave his life in the Ming Dynasty this time.

One of the guards was about to cut off Yue Tuo's head. Lin Feng said: "Don't cut off the head. Dig a hole and bury it, and write it as the tomb of Beile Yue Tuo, Manchu Qing Dynasty."

Although Yue Tuo was a Tatar general, he was indeed brave and unafraid of death and loyal to the Manchus. It was worth keeping his body intact and giving him a tombstone.

As soon as Yue Tuo died, the Qing army that had been resisting desperately was immediately discouraged. Except for his personal guards who launched a desperate attack, the other Qing troops began their own breakthroughs.

The battle lasted from morning to evening. Except for a few hundred people who broke out and escaped, all the surrounded Qing troops were basically killed.

At ten o'clock in the evening, the Gapushuo tribe who were surrounded on the hill couldn't bear the thirst. They wanted to break out of the encirclement under the cover of darkness, but they were surrounded and killed by Lu Xiangsheng, who had been prepared for it.

So far, the 5,000 Qing army rear troops intercepted by the Zhenming Army, plus the 3,000 Yuetuo troops who came to rescue, except for the more than 1,000 people who were not surrounded in time and escaped in time, and the hundreds of people who broke through behind, All have been cleared.

The mountains and plains were littered with corpses of Qing soldiers, and some of the wounded soldiers who were still alive were swarmed and killed by the very angry captured Han people.

During this period, the Qing army burned, killed, looted and committed all kinds of evil. They beat, cursed, slashed and killed the captured Han people during the day, and raped the wives and daughters of the Han people at night, which caused great indignation among the people.

Therefore, in this battle, there were basically no wounded Tatar soldiers. Except for a wave of captured soldiers who were shot and captured during the siege on the hilltop, there were also very few prisoners.
