Chapter 583: Wolf drives tigers and destroys the enemy 13
The surroundings gradually calmed down. At the battle between the two armies, countless mud pits were stepped out from all over the place. The dead bodies covered with mud were stacked together layer by layer, everywhere. Countless prisoners knelt on both sides, and were guarded by the Ming army holding knives and guns, trembling in the rain.
Huang Fei held a helmet in his hand and stepped forward to meet Zhou Xian who was riding a horse. He bowed up and said, "Fortunately, the military gate has not been humiliated. More than a thousand Qing troops were killed, and there should be three thousand prisoners."
Zhou Xian dismounted and smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Huang Chenshi. Where is the Abatai man! Has he escaped?"
Huang Fei said: "I heard from the Qing army prisoners that when the Qing army was just defeated, Abatai led more than a thousand infantry and cavalry to escape directly. I have ordered Jimu and Gao Yi to lead all the cavalry and all the soldiers of the Zhizi Battalion to chase him. I think he would not escape easily."
Zhou Xian was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but smile. It seemed that he was too arrogant at first. It turned out that the reason why his more than a thousand reserve soldiers did not move was that he stayed behind to make it easier for him to escape at that time! He couldn't help but laugh and scolded: "This Abatai always looks very brave, but he didn't expect that he would abandon his subordinates and run away by himself when things happened."
Huang Fei nodded and said, "No one expected this to happen not only in the military gate. At first, I ordered the soldiers to come forward carefully to prevent the Qing army from setting up any tricks. When I finally found out that Abatai had escaped, it would be a little late to send people to chase him."
Zhou Xian waved his hand and said indifferently: "As long as he has not escaped the Beihe River in Jinzhou, this matter will not end. Now the morale of the Qing army has dispersed, and it is the time for us to expand the results of the war. Huang Qianshi, I will leave you two thousand soldiers. You are responsible for taking these prisoners back to the city. I will lead the remaining soldiers to continue chasing forward."
Huang Fei hesitated and said, "The Qing army fled in all directions, and there were remnants everywhere. The road was not safe. Let me lead the troops to pursue you. You can escort the prisoners back to the city!"
Zhou Xian shook his head and said, "With personal soldiers protecting it, it is not so easy to encounter danger. I was the one who led Xinzi Camp from Bai Qiankou and retreated all the way to Jinzhou City. The terrain there is more familiar with you. Therefore, it is more suitable for me to do this."
Huang Fei stopped insisting and bowed, "Then please be careful in the military. I will leave two thousand new soldiers, and you will take all the old soldiers."
On this day, in the pouring rain, countless Ming army infantry and cavalry chased each other desperately along the direction of the Qing army's escape. When Abatai fled, there were more than a thousand infantry and cavalry beside him. The cavalry was fast and led the way in front; the infantry was slow and followed closely behind. But not long after, the Ming army chased after him. Abatai ordered the infantry to stop the Ming army, and he led the last five hundred cavalry to continue to escape.
Seeing Abatai fleeing, the Qing infantrymen had no intention of fighting. When they were rushed by the Ming cavalry, they screamed and fled in scattered. The Ming army killed all the Qing soldiers on the main road, regardless of the scattered soldiers who were fleeing into the mountains and forests, and continued to speed forward, close to Abatai and chased them fiercely.
This pursuit was carried out along the post road, one side fled to death, and the other side chased desperately. At this moment, less than three hundred cavalry were still following Abatai. The heavy objects that should be lost were all lost by them. Most of them removed their armor, and some even lost their weapons. The blood on their faces were mixed with rain, which was dirty and messy.
When they went to war, everyone was full of confidence and thought that this was another good opportunity to obtain military merits and property. The Ming people were weak and incompetent, so how could they be the opponent of the elite soldiers of the Eight Banners? With just one battle, they could drive all the Ming people into the sea. But no one expected that this time they came to Jinzhou, it turned out like this.
More than 20,000 people attacked the small Jinzhou City, and countless soldiers were damaged, but not for several months. In the end, the Ming people left the city to fight the self-army, but the ones who failed were still the self-army. Now the Ming army is following closely behind, chasing the self-army like chasing prey. This kind of shame has never happened since the founding of the Eight Banners.
This is a nightmare, a nightmare for each of them. They have always advocated force, but at this moment they run away with their heads in their arms, and they don’t even have the courage to turn back to resist. The powerful barbarians turned into cowardly sheep and were killed on the ground by the chased hunters.
When Abatai sent out a second request for help, Hauge hesitated for a moment and finally decided to send a few cavalry. He asked them to go south to inform the last evacuated troops and asked them to send some soldiers to respond to Abatai. But Hauge was in the front team, and Abatai's request for help was sent to him. He sent his orders to the back. It had been a long time since he had passed.
The last team of Qing troops evacuated had about 3,000 people, and the generals were the Han people. After receiving the order from Haoge, he immediately lit up a thousand sprints and asked his deputy general to lead the remaining people to continue to evacuate north, and he personally led the thousand people to support the south. Halfway through the journey, a cavalry in front suddenly shouted loudly: "General, there is a sound of horse hooves in front."
The Han general's face changed and he rode forward. The rain had already become a little lighter at this time. He tried his best to look south and suddenly saw a team of cavalry running wildly from the corner of the mountain on the front, and the hooves were sounding like thunder, and there was no idea how many cavalrymen were there. When one of them was lying on the horse, he didn't even wear armor on his body, it was Abatai.
The man general was unknown. When he saw Abatai, he subconsciously stepped forward to say hello. But Abatai did not stop at all, but just shouted loudly: "Stop the Ming people behind me. After returning, I will upgrade you to level three in a row."
After saying that, Abatai rushed past the side and splashed a ball of mud and water. The cavalry behind him were even more so, and he ignored the soldiers in front of him.
Immediately afterwards, hundreds of Ming cavalry followed closely from behind, shouting and killing sounds shook the sky.
The Han general was still stunned. In a flash, he saw a large number of Ming cavalry coming and suddenly changed color. Just as the commander's soldiers resisted, an arrow suddenly shot from the rear and shot directly into his face. He groaned and fell from the horse. The Qing army around him exclaimed and suddenly fell into chaos.
Hundreds of cavalry of the Ming army took advantage of the situation and attacked fiercely. The dead Qing army fled in scattered and scattered. The Ming army passed by directly and continued to pursue.
Later, the hundreds of cavalry continued to pursue and disperse the last team of nearly two thousand people left by the Qing army. They chased Abatai until the Qing army's defense line on the south bank of Baiqiankou.
Mandahai was also shocked when he saw Abatai's miserable appearance and quickly sent someone to pick him up. After asking about Abatai's incident, he was extremely furious and concentrated all the Qing army that had not crossed the river on the south bank in the camp. He reported to Haoge, preparing to fight the Ming army to the death here.
