Chapter 148: Battle 5

Most of the soldiers in the Child Clan were young, with a small number of people, only nearly 8,000, and less than half of the number of cavalrymen. However, they have been in the army since childhood, and they are all brave and fearless.

After receiving the order, they saw them running over the right wing like a tiger descending the mountain and rushing straight to the Qing army.

Luo Hu was overjoyed when he saw the reinforcements arrive and shouted loudly as the entire army attack. For a moment, thousands of horses galloped and spears raised. Amid a deafening roar, the right wing of the rebel army began to counterattack. Countless Qing troops were stabbed off, and countless others fled backwards.

After defeating the Qing army on the right wing, one of the rebels pursued forward, and the other of the rebels surrounded the Mongolian cavalry in the middle. They lacked protection and had no chance of winning against the rebels holding spears and full of armor.

Sure enough, these Mongolian cavalry saw that the situation was not right. After a whistle, the entire army retreated.

Unlike other Qing troops, they had no order when they retreated. They fled back in groups, and only a few ran back and shot arrows back.

Some of the people who were behind were unable to escape and were caught up by the cavalry of the rebel army and were instantly stabbed to death. But they all escaped quickly for the light cavalry, and instantly they also opened a distance for a while and accelerated to escape backwards.

After the left-wing Qing army received the order, they also covered each other and retreated. Hao Yaoqi led his troops to chase them forward and bit them tightly. However, the Qing army was strict and did not give him too many opportunities. Only a few Qing army that were left behind were killed.

Liu Zongmin was extremely excited when he saw the situation reversed. He made the war drums ring, and all the infantrymen caught up.

Dorgon looked at everything in the distance with a calm expression, turned his head and ordered: "Go and tell Zhang Cunren to lead all the Han soldiers forward and line up in a row on the high slope three miles away from the city. The retreating cavalry retreated from both sides, gathered again on the wings of the infantry formation, and blocked the thieves firmly for me there. Tan Tai and Shi Tingzhu, you lead two cavalry to come forward and come back. Ganglin, you lead two thousand cavalry to the left to meet Wang Pingfan. Tell him that the person riding the black horse on the hillside was Li Zicheng, and let him take Li Zicheng's head back to me."

Tan Tai and Shi Tingzhu took the order and left, but Ganglin hesitated in his heart and asked, "Master, there are at least 20,000 or 30,000 thieves over there, and there are only 7,000 cavalrymen from the slaves and Wang Pingfan. Can they... and Wu Sangui are now in a strange mind. Will Wang Pingfan cooperate with the slaves according to orders?"

Dorgon waved his hand and said, "You go, at this time he dared not ignore my orders. Moreover, it doesn't matter whether he can get Li Zicheng's head. I want Li Zicheng to see that Wu Sangui's army launched an attack on him."

Ganglin clasped his fists with his hands, "I know."

Li Zicheng smiled and said to Li Yan: "Lin Quan, you are right, the captains are defeated."

Li Yan shook his head, "Your Majesty, although the Manhuo retreated a little, it is not considered a defeat. Look at the other side, they have re-formed the formation, and it is probably another fierce battle."

Li Zicheng waved his hand indifferently and said with a smile: "The advantage of the captains is that they have many cavalry and come and go like the wind. In this way, the line-up is in a straight line, and our army can crush them by relying on the advantage of the number of people. What do you think of the military advisor!"

Song Xiance said: "Your Majesty, the war has not ended yet, so it is too early to say this. I think that those who travel a hundred miles are half ninety. Even if you win this battle, there will be captives from Shanxi and Shaanxi. Your Majesty should look at the whole world, rather than the victory and loss of this battle in front of you."

Li Zicheng immediately held his smile, was silent for a while, and sighed: "What the military advisor is right, I am a little proud."

Song Xiance bent over and said, "Your Majesty is a saint. Only the minister dares to speak out in a blunt way. I think that even if you have few setbacks, as long as your Majesty has the confidence to win, the world will definitely be in a great way in the future."

Li Zicheng nodded, said nothing, and turned around and continued to look at the battlefield in the distance.

There, the infantrymen on both sides had already fought together and fought each other.

The soldiers shouted and killed, the neighing of horses, and the clanging sounds of weapons colliding. These sounds gathered together, resounding across the sky.

The dense crowds of people rushed forward one after another, and then fell down one after another. The corpses were everywhere, and blood flowed down the slope.

The horse gallops, and the black feathered arrows are flying all over the sky, covering the sky and the sun. From time to time, someone is caught in an arrow, falling from the horse, making a low scream, and a life disappears.

People are against people, horses are against horses, and soldiers on both sides are red in their eyes and reap each other's lives at will.

This is a battlefield filled with blood and the final cemetery for countless warriors. They use their lives to gain glory, fame, or just simple battles.

The war drums sounded, urging the soldiers to move forward.

The rebel army rushed fiercely, and the Qing army fought to the death and piled up layers of corpses at the battle between the two armies.

Li Yan looked at everything in the distance strangely, his eyes full of confusion. Li Zicheng was right. The advantage of the Qing army was that there were many cavalrymen and they came and went freely. But at this moment, they actually gave up their strengths and made up their weaknesses, and nailed them to the local area regardless of their losses, as if there was a line there that forced them to leave.

The Qing soldiers were fierce and their combat power was far better than their own army, but they were few and had abandoned the advantage of cavalry at this moment. Even if Dorgon put all his subsequent troops into it, according to the situation in front of him, the Qing army still had no chance of winning.

Although Li Yan and Dorgon had never met, they had heard of him as a wise and wise man and proficient in battle formations. With his talent, he would not have adopted such stupid tactics.

At this moment, Li Yan suddenly remembered something.

A few days ago, a scout school told him that their team of scouts went around the back of Shimen Town at night to investigate the enemy situation, but were discovered by the Qing army. More than a dozen people were killed, and only one survived the chaos and hid in the grass.

Later, the scout who escaped reported to the school of Dingtou. He said that he hid in the distance and watched countless Qing troops transport things to Shimen Town for a night, and did not stop until dawn.

Because there was no light that night, the scout was hiding far away, and he couldn't see what the Qing army had transported. He only knew that the things were heavy, because after the Qing army left, he saw a very deep rut on the road.

At that time, Li Yan saw the report from the primary school, but because he was vague, he didn't take it seriously. At this time, this small thing suddenly came to his heart, making Li Yan feel deeply uneasy. He looked up at Shimen Town in the distance and happened to notice that there were some cylindrical objects stretching out of the battlements on the top of the city.
