Autumn of the 17th year of Chongzhen

Chapter 1201 The Failed Mengjin Retreat
[-] to [-] routs huddled at Mengjin Ferry, and the Ming army stormed from the outside, constantly compressing their storage space.

If the Ming army attacked the river bank and the rout had not yet crossed the river, they would have no other choice but to be killed, captured, and driven into the river. For the rout, it was a matter of life and death.

There are so many routs, but so few ships. Whether to evacuate the full population first, or the Mongols first, or even the Han army first, after the Qing army lost Dorgon, there is no one voice to make arbitrary decisions. Don't want to stay and die.

This is under the hills outside Mengjin. The artillery of the Ming army has been erected. With the wave of the command flag, the sound of "boom, boom, boom~" cannons sounded one after another. .

The artillery shells slammed into the top of the mountain, causing the rocks to fly and dust to fill the air. The Qing troops above were wailing and terrified, lying on the ground one after another, not daring to move.

Although solid bullets cannot explode and injure the enemy, when they hit rocks, the scattered gravel is not much less lethal than explosive bullets.

After several rounds of shelling, the top of the mountain was covered with flying dust, and there were Qing troops covering their wounds and rolling and howling.

At the foot of the mountain, the Ming army of the three divisions had already lined up. The soldiers did not wait for the artillery to stop before charging up. The leader Qian Zong did not dare to show his head on the top of the mountain. He blew his whistle and Ming The sergeant began to climb to the top of the mountain.

Not just a mountain peak, on the mountain fronts, highlands, and hills outside Mengjin, countless Ming troops climbed up densely, with swords and shields in front and shields in front, and all firecrackers holding blunderbuss behind them.

After the artillery of the Ming army stopped, the defeated Qing army on the top of the mountain dared to raise their heads. When they looked down, they were so shocked that the Ming army was already approaching.

The cooperation between the infantry and the artillery team has reached such a level, the defeated soldiers were stunned for a moment, shocked by the operation of the Ming army's artillery.

At this time, the soldiers of the Ming army who crawled under their noses suddenly let out a roar, and immediately accelerated to the top of the mountain.

As soon as the Qing army looked up, the Ming army fired a row of guns. Several Ming soldiers in front directly smashed the shields in their hands at the Qing army on the top of the mountain. When their necks shrank, the Ming army had already jumped away. Get up and rush to the top of the mountain.

These rout soldiers who were in charge of blocking the attack had lost their morale long ago. It was okay for them to shoot arrows from a long distance from the top of the mountain, but if they wanted to fight in close combat, they would immediately lose thousands of miles.

All of a sudden, the rout soldiers on the top of the mountain dispersed with a loud commotion. They fled from the top of the mountain one after another and flocked to the river bank.

When the Ming army charged, they overwhelmed the rout soldiers who had no fighting spirit. They were either driven down the hillside, or they knelt down in horror and begged to surrender.

Wang Yan stood on the top of the mountain and observed the battlefield with binoculars. He saw that the surrounding hilltops were pulled down one by one by the Ming army, and the flags of the Ming army were planted on the hilltops one after another.

He saw countless Ming troops climbing to the top, and [-] to [-] routs were compressed into the narrow area of ​​Mengjindu. Then he put down the binoculars and said with a smile: "Let the artillery team pull the cannons up the hill and bombard Mengjindu condescendingly. , When the army is broken, prepare to rush in and catch pigs!"

The generals behind Wang Yan suddenly burst into laughter, and said, "Your Highness, it is not easy to catch all of these nearly [-] people!"

Some said, "I think it's easy to deal with. They are easier to catch than pigs. Pigs can run around, but they can't!"

Wang Yan waved his hand and said: "The order of the lonely general will drive all those who do not surrender into the river!"

"Promise!" All the generals clasped their fists together, the trumpets of the Ming army sounded together, and the banners waved to convey Wang Yan's military order.

On the river beach, the Mongols pulled out their swords, and the air froze immediately.

Lou Qin pulled out half of the knife but it got stuck.

He can't pull it out to kill the Mongols, and he will lose face when he plugs it back in, and the boat will definitely be taken away by the Mongols.

For a moment he was in a dilemma, his face was flushed, and he couldn't get off the stage.

At this time, the soldiers on both sides confronted each other clearly, glaring at each other, as if they could stare each other to death with their eyes.

Looking at the ferocious Mongols in front of them, Doni and Luo Keduo saw Mongolian soldiers constantly surrounding them and looked at them blankly. His Adam's apple moved, and he couldn't help swallowing, revealing a trace of timidity.

As the two sides confronted each other like this, the sound of the booming guns gradually stopped, and the cheers of mountains and tsunami came from the periphery.

This is when the Ming army took down the surrounding hills, and the soldiers were cheering. Both the Mongols and the Manchus showed a hint of panic, and the surroundings began to commotion.

The Ming army would attack the river beach at any time, and the time left for them was running out.

Batu Dun's face sank, the matter of fighting for the ship was a matter of life and death, they would not give Lou Qin and others face.

At this time, whoever is humble is waiting to die, and the husband and wife will fly separately in a catastrophe, not to mention the Mongols and Manchus.

At this time, the tree should fall and the monkeys should scatter, and everyone should escape according to their own abilities. Why should the Manchus occupy all the ships.

Thinking of this, Batu Duntaiji's face became a little grim. He saw that Lou Qin didn't dare to draw his sword, and he was unwilling to give in. He also saw that Luo Keduo and others next to him were showing timidity, and his confidence was greatly increased. He glared at Lou Qin, and snorted coldly, "You are not the regent, why should you order me? Our Mongolian warriors are going to order this ship!"

As he said that, he turned his head and said to Gersey next to him, "Go, bring all the boats here. If they don't give them, let them see the scimitars of Mongolian warriors!"

The Mongols did not let Lou Qin step down at all, and directly relied on the large number of soldiers and horses to force them by force.

Now is not the time to be polite. Anyone who is polite will have to stay on the south bank. They are all sinful people. Once they fall into the hands of the Ming army, they will either be cut by the Ming army, or they will be driven into the river and drowned. It will definitely be bad. die.

Batu Dun took advantage of the large number of Mongols and stabilized the population, so he didn't take Lou Qin seriously.

He had already made up his mind that once he escaped from here, he would immediately go back to the grassland and draw a clear line with Man Qing so as not to be implicated by Man Qing.

Gersey also saw that the people were full of viciousness. He listened to Batu Dun's words, looked at Louqin and the others mockingly, then held a machete, pushed Louqin who was in the way, and slammed into the river. go.

Louqin collected more than 20 small boats in total. The land of Heluo was developed early, the woods were scarce, and the wood was not buoyant enough in the Yellow River. In addition, the Qing army did not have the time to cut and transport the wood in the distance, so more than 150 rafts were built. indivual.

That's all, less than [-] people can be brought across the river at one time. This is the last hope of the Manchurians.

If the Mongol said it well, considering the situation, Lou Qin might give up a small part, but the Mongol's attitude and humiliation to him completely angered him.

Dorgon's death had already made Lou Qin extremely sad, but the Mongols didn't pay attention to him at this time, and even insulted him. He watched the Mongols want to seize the ship, and the last trace of reason in his heart was overwhelmed by anger.

Hearing the Ming army's shout, Louqin's face suddenly twisted, he clenched the handle of the knife tightly, and while Batu Dun was not paying attention, he rushed forward with one step, and suddenly stabbed into the opponent's abdomen.

Lou Qin's face was ferocious, his eyes were red, he held the handle of the knife and stirred vigorously, muttering in his mouth, "You dog slave, tell you to be disrespectful to this king, tell you..."

As soon as he made a move, there was a sudden chaos on the river beach. The Manchus and the Mongols fought over who could cross the river.

In order to survive and return to their hometown, the two sides went in with white knives and out with red knives.

When the Mongols saw Batu Dun being killed, their eyes immediately turned red. There were many of them, but there were few full soldiers. Lou Qin and the others were immediately under siege.

The whole beach suddenly became chaotic, and the sound of killing shook the sky. However, at this moment, the artillery of the Ming army that was pulled to the top of the hill suddenly rang out.

The sound of "rumbling" artillery echoed on the top of the mountain, and the artillery team bombarded the river beach condescendingly. As soon as the artillery fell, the broken stones splashed killed one piece.

The broken soldiers on the river beach had nowhere to hide, and they were beaten by the artillery and ran away, making the broken soldiers even more chaotic.

At the same time as the cannon was fired, the infantry of the Ming army rushed towards the river beach. The Ming army was like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, frightening the Han flags on the periphery, fleeing in panic, and rushing to the river beach one after another.

Louqin was fighting with several Mongols, Doni grabbed Louqin, swung his knife to block, and shouted: "The Ming army has started to attack, let's go!"

Before Lou Qin could answer, the red-eyed Mongolians swarmed up again. He angrily opened Doni's pull, and pushed the Mongolians back with a knife. Half of the head, brain flower spilled out.

When Lou Qin looked back, he was stunned. The Mongols actually killed Doni. How would he explain to the fifteenth uncle Duoduo.

"Louis, let's go!" Just when Lou was in a daze, Wakda not far away reminded him again that he stabbed a Mongol to death, and then shouted anxiously: "The Ming army is here, don't fight with me!" The Mongols are entangled, if you don't leave, it will be too late!"

Hearing this, Lou Qin was startled. He turned his head and saw countless Ming troops rushing down from the top of the mountain, attacking towards the river bank. Either surrendered or were killed, and more people were forced to squeeze towards the river bank. The Manchus and Mongols standing by the river had already been squeezed into the river.

He saw quite a few Manchus fleeing to the north bank in boats without orders. Some boats were overwhelmed by the current when they were halfway through with too many people.

The soldiers on the bank began to fight for the raft, and the Manchus themselves started fighting.

"Retreat!" Lou Qin came back to his senses, pulled up Doni's body, carried it on his shoulder, and walked quickly to the river.

But at this time, there were no boats, and the raft was full of rout soldiers. The soldiers on it used guns and knives to stop the approaching rout soldiers. No matter if they were Manchus or Mongolians, as long as they dared to approach the raft, they would directly stabbed to death
Carrying the dead body, Lou Qin watched the crowds scrambling for boats, swords and soldiers facing each other, saw countless rout soldiers being forced into the river, swept away by the current, and seeing the desperate hands struggling to sink into the river, his heart was filled with ashes.
