Ming Zhengzhi, I am Zheng Kezang

When the family members of the Jingzhou Eight Banners were still digging pits and burying people outside Jingmen City, the Qing and Mongolian coalition forces who fled north in panic had already crossed the Man River again. [ ] Novel Facing the nearly ten thousand cavalry, Yue Shenglong who was stationed in Yicheng immediately turned a blind eye.That's right, this is nearly ten thousand cavalry. Even if the opponent is tired and tired, the infantry on our side is only a multiple, and a considerable part of them are the newly captured Northland Green Battalion. Who knows if they will fight back when they fight, In order to stabilize the period, it is best to avoid its edge, and the supervising army sent by Zheng Fan also agrees with this.Of course, Yue Shenglong didn't dare to face the Qing army's brigade, but he would not let any of the Banner Army stragglers behind him due to reasons such as the horse's death, lack of horsepower, and losing his way.

As the saying goes, the Qing army who escaped to the first day of the new year but not the fifteenth day, easily broke through the Manhe River, came to the city of Xiangyang, but was dumbfounded.Xiangyang City, which should still be holding on to it, has already changed the flag on the top of the city. This feeling of hope turning to despair suddenly completely wiped out the morale that had dropped to freezing point.

what to do?Are you going to attack Xiangyang, which is in front of you, with less than [-] troops and no morale?But if Xiangyang is not attacked, where should the nearly ten thousand horses go?The Qing army, unable to advance or retreat for a while, fell into confusion.

"My lords," Prince Ping and Zhennan General Naertu, who had lost nearly ten catties, looked at the equally despondent people in front of him with dull eyes. "What should I do now?"

After being silent for a long time, Tong Gui slowly said: "Since Haini has captured Xiangyang, the officers and soldiers will have to pay a huge price if they want to pass the Xiangfan pontoon bridge. The water went west."

Everyone was in an uproar. The west of Xiangyang is Gucheng. Since Zheng Jun captured Xiangyang, how could he just miss the front line of Gucheng, Guanghua (Laohekou), and Junzhou (Danjiangkou). [ ] If it is not the plain area on the line of Gucheng, then you must go to the Wudang Mountains.But one is that it is inconvenient for the cavalry to move in the mountains, and the other is that there are few people along the way and there is no leading party and no place to supply food. How can the nearly ten thousand troops retreat safely?

Then several Mongolian princes nearby started to yell loudly, one of them shouted: "The emperor asked us to bring the arrows in the banner to fight, not to let Mongolian heroes climb some deep mountains and old forests."

Another young Taiji shouted: "If we bring out the slaves, we will naturally bring them back."

Of course the Manchurian nobles present knew that the Mongols were good knights on the grasslands, but asking them to climb the mountain would be tantamount to killing them, even if the banner owner Zasak, their family suffered a great loss, but those who participated in the war Those landless princes always had only a few Hamjerg households in their hands, how could they be easily lost in the vast mountains.

"The road is a bit difficult, but there is still a way to survive, if you fight hard?" Tong Gui gave a supplementary suggestion while smiling bitterly. "The general is a nobleman of the country. If he falls into the hands of Haini, it will be an insult to the majesty of the court. Master Zhu is a scholar, and he can't go to the battlefield. He chose more than a hundred elite riders and escorted him into the mountain. The water enters Shaanxi. As for those left behind, then bet against Hai Ni, at least not to bury the martial name of the ancestors."

Ananda, Baerhu, and Paris all looked very sad and remained silent. They wanted to run away with Naertu, but Tong Gui's words framed them, so it's not easy to mention it again. Tong Gui couldn't leave by himself, so naturally he had to drag someone along to Huangquan Road.On the other hand, the Mongolian princes whispered to each other, apparently having different opinions.

After the conversation between the Mongolian princes came to an end, Suzhartu, the son of Zasak Gushan Beizi of Zarut Left Wing Banner, said to Naertu: "General, we are getting old, for the glory of Bogda Khan , it doesn’t matter if you die here, but these young people still have a long life, please take them away later.[ ]”

Since it was so agreed, there was no need to delay, and several deputy capital commanders immediately selected people from the troops, of course, the excuse was to choose the guards for Naertu.However, those with good eyes and ears had already found out the truth of the matter, so they each showed their talents and asked the four all to be selected.In this regard, the Ananda people can only choose according to their family background. Even so, the number has expanded to nearly 400. In addition to the original guards of Naertu and Junqing who must be taken away by the Mongolian side, the whole team almost Nearly [-] people.

A little more is a little more. Anyway, the road ahead is long, and I don’t know that I will encounter a shoal in that section, so a few more people can better protect Naertu.But in this way, the matter was completely exposed. When these lucky people disappeared out of the sight of the brigade with three horses carrying food, the rest of them only had the resentment of being abandoned in their hearts.

Although the morale of the army is unstable, everyone knows that there is no way out now, and they can only die and survive, so the remaining 4000 banner soldiers accepted the order to reorganize.Since most of the banner troops who are not vests have fallen behind, except Tong Gui who led a mixed battalion consisting of [-] infantry, commissioners, gunners, and [-] vests, the rest of the banner troops were organized into three cavalry battalions and more than [-] Mongolian troops. The cavalry formed two formations.

By the time the flag soldiers, who had had their last meal, were slowly approaching Xiangyang City, Zheng Jun had already observed the actions of the Qing army. On the road that the Qing army must pass through.

"If you want to go home, rush over there!" All the flag troops shouted wildly from the deputy capital commander, down to the reminder and even the ordinary soldiers. "Kill, kill, kill them just like killing Jingmen Green Camp!"

In the mountain roar and tsunami, the Mongolian cavalry rushed out first, and the rumbling iron hooves responded to the even more deafening sound of the artillery fired by Zheng Jun's divisions.I saw the cannon hitting the cavalry, causing bloody sprays.But the Mongolian soldiers who had already blocked the horse's ears rushed forward regardless, until they hit the platoon of guns fired by Zheng Jun's salvo.

"Hold it! As long as it's fast enough, the firecracker can only be fired once." The Mongolian prince wielding a saber shouted loudly, and the Mongolian soldiers who were driven by them continued to charge forward regardless of the chaotic formation. , but something unexpected happened. I clearly remembered that the Qing army could only shoot once at this time, but the Zheng army took the time to fire again, so that the charge of the Mongolian soldiers was immediately delayed.

However, Zheng Jun's side was also uncomfortable, so the distance was already very close, and the bows and arrows shot by the Mongolian soldiers also caused considerable casualties.Seeing that the Mongolian cavalry was approaching, there was a roar in Zheng's army, and Zheng's army formed more than ten hollow phalanxes with regiments as units.Facing the hedgehog-like gun array on the outside, the Mongolian soldiers encountered the same confusion as their compatriots who went to North Korea --- the horses under their crotch subconsciously dodged, so that they were overwhelmed by the rifles in the inner circle of Zheng Jun. suffered heavy losses.

"Don't get entangled, go around through the gap." Seeing some Mongolian soldiers still shooting arrows into the phalanx with bullets, Suzhartu and other experienced cavalry commanders have already shouted loudly. "Don't fight recklessly, rush over, rush over."

The so-called is easier said than done, how can it be so easy to bypass Zheng Jun's blocking line.The Mongolian soldiers passing through the gaps in the phalanx were quickly shot and killed. If it weren't for the Manchurian cavalry that came later to attract Zheng Jun's main attention, I am afraid that half of the more than 4000 Mongolian cavalry can survive. up.But even if they passed through the first blocking line formed by Zheng Jun of the two divisions, they had to penetrate the defense line of Zheng Jun's third division to grab the pontoon bridge.

Just as the Mongolian soldiers suffered heavy losses and broke through the Zheng army's Henan blockade line, the Qing army's cavalry also arrived.Contrary to the general understanding, the Qing army, which claims to be unparalleled in riding and shooting, is actually a dragoon force.No, the cavalry of the Qing army who rushed to the front of Zheng Jun's formation saw their horses slowing down and rolled off their horses. Holding knives and shields, they wanted to break into Zheng Jun's spear formation and break up the formation, but this was just wishful thinking. .Amidst the stabbing sounds of the squad leader and team leader, the dragon-like long spears rushed over wave after wave, immediately killing the most valiant of the banner soldiers.

Here the Mongolian soldiers managed to get on the pontoon bridge, and when the artillery fire and blunderbuss shells of Zheng Jun's navy left a lot of corpses, the last bit of morale that the flag soldiers had just instigated had collapsed.Countless banner troops would rather flee to the west than face Zheng Jun, but they also dispersed the last reserve team in Tong Gui's hands.

"Catch up!" With an order, Zheng Jun immediately rushed towards the frightened enemy like a tiger on the mountain.The horse scouts from each division were naturally running in the front. They were originally light cavalry scouts, and they turned into invincible knights at this moment, chopping down one by one the bannermen who only knew how to run wildly with their heads down.

The south bank had reached the end of the chase, and the Mongolian cavalry team finally struggled out of the pontoon bridge, but ran into Zheng Jun's Jiangbei blocking force again.Looking at the terrifying horizontal formation in front of them, several Mongolian princes who escaped by chance were ashamed.Yes, after two attacks and one massacre, the remaining Mongolian cavalry has less than 2000 people. It is unknown how much it will cost to break through the enemy in front of them. In the end, it is not known how many people will be able to return to the prairie.

The few princes who had no fighting spirit looked at each other, and climbed down from the horse with wry smiles. Led by them, the surviving Mongolian cavalry followed suit. Soon thousands of people dropped their weapons and knelt there, At the disposal of the victor.

"Is that how you surrendered?" Gao Yeping, the Commander of the First Division of the Xuanwu Army who saw the Mongolian soldiers in action through the binoculars, said somewhat unwillingly. "Is this the descendant of Genghis Khan who swept the eight poles?" Although there are some complaints, it is always a good thing to win without a fight. "Come here, inform Mr. Lin that there is no more fighting in Jiangbei."

In fact, there is no war in Jiangbei. Except for the iron cavalry army that is still advancing northward and the remaining divisions in the south of the Yangtze River, the entire Huguang battle has come to an end on this day.
