Autumn of the 17th year of Chongzhen

Chapter 465 Forced into a corner
Not only Tian Xiong was a little flustered, but also the green battalion soldiers under him. Seeing the defeated soldiers fleeing from the side, the Ming army several times more rushed towards them. After the break.

"General, retreat quickly~" one of the generals said anxiously.

Tian Xiong raised his head suddenly, just in time to see that a small group of Ming army cavalry not far away was about to kill him. The leader, a Ming army, galloped on his horse, caught up with a fleeing yellow armored soldier, and stabbed him with a single shot. Back, after Huang Jiabing fell to the ground, his eyes shifted, and he stared directly at Tian Xiong.

When their eyes met, both of them had murderous intent in their eyes. When Lu Shikui saw the impaled prey, he dared to stare at him, and immediately became furious, and slapped his horse and killed him directly.

Tian Xiong felt the killing intent, he didn't act emotionally, he saw that the two wings of the Ming army moved faster than the front army, it seemed that they were advancing without rules, but in fact they wanted to outflank and surround his 6000 troops.

The Ming army has more than 3 people, and the Qing army has more than 2 people. The gap is not big, but the Ming army is concentrated, while the Qing army is divided into several divisions. They stretch out five fingers to poke people. After all, there is no punch, which makes people feel more painful. .

The Ming army first attacked Tan Tai with 3 people and 7000 people, and now they want to fight him with 2 people and [-] people. If this continues, more than [-] Qing soldiers will be swallowed by the Ming army wave after wave.

Tian Xiong pulled the reins, turned the horse's head, and ordered: "Get out!"

The [-] Qing soldiers were relieved, and the rear team changed to the front team, and fled. The Ming army saw this, and the drums changed from rapid to slow. The soldiers heard the drums, and controlled their restraint. go.

The Ming army's actions were to preserve their strength, otherwise they would have turned into Zhang Cunren waiting for work and defeating the enemy with his back when he ran to the stream.

The pace of the infantry slowed down, but a hundred Ming army cavalrymen were chasing him closely. Lu Shikui did not dare to stop and besiege him because of the Dingtian Xiongbu. When he ran behind the Qing army, the hundred Ming army cavalrymen chased him like a pack of wolves. Thousands of Qing soldiers advanced, they bent their bows and shot arrows, and the Qing troops behind were shot and fell to the ground from time to time.

The Ming army seemed to be practicing archery. Relying on the speed of their horses, they did not rush forward, but kept the distance that they could shoot with their bows. The actions of the Ming army made the Qing army behind them flustered, and no one wanted to be regarded as a The target of the practice archery was desperately arched forward, causing chaos in the entire team without knowing it.

Seeing this, Tian Xiong glanced at a general beside him. The general immediately reined in his horse, and the fifty cavalry behind him also stopped abruptly. I want to prevent the Ming cavalry from continuing to entangle.

The two cavalry staggered, and Lu Shikui stabbed at him with a spear. Yuan Qing leaned back and grabbed Lu Shikui's gun with his left hand. He wanted to die, but he underestimated the strength of Wang Yan, the personal guard of hundreds of households. He tried his best to pull it, but it was like an ant shaking a tree, and it remained motionless.

The Qing general was startled, but at this moment, Lu Shikui fired his gun, and a huge force directly dragged him away from the saddle. .

Lu Shikui's horse passed by him, rushed dozens of steps, and then stopped. When he turned his head to look, the Qing general who fell from his horse had already been nailed to the ground by a Ming cavalry behind him. Struggling and howling.Along the Mulan River, the green battalion soldiers who were trying to build a pontoon bridge fled back to the shore from the raft in a hurry again. After the Zheng's warship once again destroyed half of the pontoon bridge built by the green battalion soldiers, they left the battlefield flaunting their might.

The Qing army did not carry the red cannons this time, otherwise one cannon would have smashed the warships into a big hole. They only had forty or fifty Flang cannons and Huzun cannons for field battles, which did too much damage to the warships. Small.

Seeing another failure, Ma Degong was immediately annoyed.

"Look, Governor." On the other side, an anxious voice caught Zhang Cunren's attention. He looked up to the west, and in the wilderness, all he could see was a mass of defeated soldiers, rolling in like a tide.

Zhang Cunren's complexion changed, he quickly raised his right hand, then clenched it into a fist, and said in a deep voice, "Send the order to form an formation."

The military order was quickly conveyed, and more than 8000 green battalion soldiers on the river beach quickly stood up, arranged their formation, and made way for a passage in the middle, allowing the defeated army to enter the formation through the passage.

Tan Tai and Ah Shan's hundreds of cavalry were in the lead, followed by a large group of panic-stricken defeated troops who supported each other and hurried eastward.

When Tan Tai fled into the battle, he rolled off his horse and sat down on the ground, gasping for breath. A large number of defeated soldiers fled to the river bank, and they also sat down and fell down. They ran dozens of times. Li, has long lost strength.

Looking at this miserable scene, Tan Tai was heartbroken, Zhang Cunren led several generals over, and prayed: "Is the general okay?"

These words made Tan Tai blushed, "Thanks to Governor Zhang, otherwise this commander would have become a lost dog." Tan Tai stood up as he spoke, "This time I was ambushed by Wang Ni, and the cavalry suffered heavy losses. Fortunately, the infantry has not yet fallen into the trap, and its strength has been preserved. Don't stop now, Wang Ni will catch up soon. Governor Zhang immediately stops the troops from crossing the river. war."

This ambush caused Tan Tai to lose his temper. He just wanted to return to Fuzhou quickly so that he could settle down, but after he finished speaking, all the generals around were silent.

Tan Tai sensed that the atmosphere was not right, and asked in a deep voice, "What's going on?"

"General, the pontoon bridge was destroyed by Ming warships, and the army was rebuilt several times, but they were all destroyed by Ming warships. We are trapped on the west bank of Mulan River~" a Qing general said after a while.

Tan Tai listened, his body shook, and he sat down again, attracting the surrounding generals, and exclaimed, "General~"

At this time, they fled to the last Tianxiong's department and completely entered the formation. The Ming army's pursuers also reached the Mulan River, the drums stopped, and the Ming army stopped two miles away from the Qing army.

Nearly 3 horses, guns like forests, flags like clouds, stand still, the banners are blown and hunted, and the murderous aura is overwhelming.

Under the flag of the Ming army, Wang Yan rode on a horse, holding a telescope to observe the Qing soldiers on the river beach. After a while, he put down the telescope. Liu Shun, who was beside him, laughed and said, "My lord, this group of birds, now There is no way to go to heaven and no way to go to earth, we can cover them all and drive them into the river to feed the fish."

"The more it is at this time, the more we must act cautiously. The Qing soldiers are now in a desperate situation, but because of this, they are very likely to fight to the death and explode their powerful combat power in order to survive." Wang Yan shook his head and turned his head. Looking at Wang Qifeng, he asked again: "General Wang said that in the Green Camp, the main generals are Tian Xiong and Ma Degong, right?"

"Report to Mr. Wang." Wang Qifeng clasped his fists and replied, "Tian Xiong and Ma Degong were indeed commanding the [-] Green Battalion infantry that Tan Tai brought into Fujian."

Wang Yan sighed slightly, "These two thieves surrendered to the enemy, causing Huang Jingnan to be defeated and commit suicide. The most abominable thing is that they also dedicated Emperor Anzong to the Qing court. Only for this point, even if the two thieves surrendered, they would not be able to escape the fate of the nine clans." Destiny. I believe the two of them also understand this, so they must fight to the end."

Right now, the Ming army has an absolute advantage, but the Qing army still has about 5000 people. If they forcefully push through, even if they win, they will suffer a lot of losses.

Wang Yan thought for a while, picked up the binoculars again, and looked at the river beach.
