The Rise of Ming Dynasty 1646

Chapter 738 "Surrender to the Enemy" (seeking monthly ticket)
The Qing army under Kong Xigui first ate a volley of more than 2000 flintlocks at close range. It was at the time when the liver and gallbladder were torn apart, but unexpectedly the Ming army gave up their advantage in firearms and rushed up to fight hand-to-hand with roars.

For a moment, these captive soldiers seemed to have forgotten that they still had weapons in their hands. Only a few thousand people pretended to be brave enough to gesture at the white pole army with their swords and spears, and they were immediately stabbed in pieces by the uniform bayonets.

Seeing this scene, the person who was about to turn around and run away no longer hesitated, shouted, dropped his weapon and ran wildly.

All this came too fast.

As soon as Kong Xigui's troops rushed up, before they were in formation, they were struck by a lightning-like blow from the white pole army, and then dispersed in a fan shape.

So much so that the officers who supervised the battle behind hadn't reacted yet. Some swung their knives and wanted to kill the deserters, but they were overwhelmed by the turbulent flow of people.

Kong Xigui was also shocked, knowing that this Ming army was definitely not some "Taiyuan rioters", he hesitated and wanted to hold on, but saw the guards beside him were robbed of their horses by deserters, fell to the ground and couldn't get up for a long time.

He didn't dare to hesitate any longer, pulled a confidant beside him and shouted: "Go and order the cavalry, let them try to hold back the southern army!"

"Here, follow orders..."

Then Kong Xigui turned his horse's head and joined the fleeing ranks, still thinking secretly, fortunately, he was not far from the He Luohui camp, and he only needed to run five or six miles away to be safe.

As soon as he ran, the morale of the Yu army under him was even more demoralized. All of them only hated their parents for not giving them two extra feet, and they just ran wildly, pushing and trampling each other. thousand.

On the east side of the battlefield, Kong Xigui's [-] cavalry were entangled with the Baigan army's spear formation.

The Baigan army has not yet mastered the hollow phalanx, and they still use the old-fashioned spears and firecrackers to defend against cavalry. Although the long-range firepower has weakened a lot, the spear phalanx has an advantage when dealing with cavalry—it can be flexible maneuver.

Only five hundred spearmen formed several "rectangular strips" of five rows and fifteen rows, constantly changing angles, separating the enemy cavalry from the outer periphery of the infantry line.Even if there are occasional omissions, the white cavalry on the side will make up for them in time.

Therefore, until the infantry of the Henan Army began to collapse, their cavalry did not get the slightest advantage. Instead, dozens of people were knocked over by spears without paying attention.

The officer who commanded the cavalry of the Yu army didn't know why, but seeing that his main force had been defeated, he assumed that another Ming army was coming, so he immediately ordered his men to bypass the Baigan army's infantry line to the east, and also fled towards Linfen.

On the way, he met Kong Xigui's herald, and when he heard that the lord was going to die by himself, he couldn't help being very disappointed, and immediately beheaded the person who came, and even ran away without looking back.

Ma Wannian led his troops to pursue him for another distance, and he was very close to Linfen, but his cavalry came galloping one after another, panting heavily, and said: "General, it is not appropriate to pursue any more. The enemy cavalry fled just now. Go, my subordinates followed to hide and kill, and in the east of Linfen City, I saw a large camp of captives in the distance, which stretched for two miles, and there were probably more than ten thousand people."

Tens of thousands of people?Ma Wannian frowned and said, "Can you see who is in charge?"

"Back to the general, like He Luohui's Jianzhou Xiangbai Banner and Ma Fengzhi's Shanxi soldiers."

"It turned out to be the main force of Jianlu attacking Linfen." Ma Wannian wanted to order the white-armed army to return to the camp, but asked casually, "How is the battle of the captives?"

Chief Nalian cupped his hands and said: "General, there is still smoke in the bandit camp, as if they are burying a pot for cooking, the subordinates only saw them rushing out of the camp, but have not yet seen the army formation..."

"Oh?" Ma Wannian looked at the enemy who was fleeing like a bereaved dog, his eyes flashed, "Since the captives are so careless, this is a rare opportunity!"

He said to the herald officer: "Go and contact the second uncle and let him come to reinforce as soon as possible." Then he waved to the officer beside him, "Brothers, work hard for a while, follow me to disturb the bandit camp!"

"But at the command of the general!"

……

He Luohui had already taken off his armor, and was staring at the map with jerky in his hand, thinking about how to attack the city tomorrow, when he suddenly heard the faint sound of cannons from the north, and was quite puzzled, "Kong Xigui is diligent, so take advantage of this before dark." After a while, the attack on the rebel army has already begun."

Unexpectedly, scouts soon came to report that Kong Xigui's army was defeated and that the defeated army was rushing towards this side.

He Luohui was shocked, and in his heart he cursed the Yu army's green battalion as trash, while ordering his lieutenant general, "Send the order, the whole army camp is formed on the north side!"

He came here to attack Linfen City, and Jiang Xiang had no power to fight back, so the Qing army camp was just a series of tents, with almost no defensive measures built, so they could only form an array outside the camp to meet the enemy.

The soldiers of the Qing army were cooking, and they all complained loudly when they heard the sound of drums preparing for war.The Jianzhou soldiers with white flags were still able to observe military discipline, but Ma Fengzhi's green battalion looked at the food that was about to be cooked and refused to move. It was only when the officers came to drive them away with whips that they reluctantly went to assemble.

The more than 4000 Jianzhou soldiers of the He Luo Club had barely gathered together, and before they had time to line up, they heard noisy voices from the northwest, wailing and frightened cries mixed together.

"Run, the Dragon Guards are chasing you!"

"Master Chief Soldier is dead, it's all over!"

"Linfen is just ahead, we are saved..."

"Come and meet...uh—"

He Luohui was still tying the belt on the cotton armor, when he saw a black crowd coming in from a distance, but he didn't see a banner, it was Kong Xigui's defeated army.

He frowned tightly, he was hesitating whether to let these rout soldiers go, when suddenly a general from his department came forward with a few cavalry, and said: "General, this is Liu Ke, commander-in-chief of Kong Xigui's cavalry."

After the man surnamed Liu did not obey Kong Xigui's military order, he was afraid of being dealt with by the military law, so he rushed to the He Luohui camp to file a complaint, "General, our army just encountered a southerner by accident. Unexpectedly, Kong Xigui was afraid. The enemy does not advance, and flees in panic as soon as the battle is fought, so that the army is completely defeated!"

"Bastard!" He Luohui said angrily, "Where is Mr. Kong Xi?!"

His lieutenant general whispered at the side: "General, the Yu army has tens of thousands of horses, no matter how strong the barbarians are, they won't collapse in a short time..."

He Luohui narrowed his eyes, "What do you mean?"

"General, the barbarians are fighting fiercely now. This Kong man is a Han. It's hard to guarantee that he won't collude with Nanming."

He Luohui's heart skipped a beat. The more he thought about it, the more he felt it was possible. He hastily ordered: "Decree, no one of Kong Xigui's defeated troops is allowed to be put into the camp, and anyone who dares to approach without authorization will be killed immediately!"

"Whoo!"

"Send someone to contact Oboi, tell him that Kong Xigui might defect to the enemy, and ask him to pay attention. By the way, it's best for him to send some people to help!"

"Whoo!"

Kong Xigui's troops didn't know that they had been classified as "collaborators and rebels". Under the pursuit of the white-armed army behind them, they all ran towards He Luohui's camp full of hope, thinking that seeing their own people would be safe .

Unexpectedly, the drums in the Xiangbai Banner army were loud, and a captive kicked his horse out, and said loudly: "If you dare to go forward half a step, you will be killed without mercy!"
