Chapter five hundred and ninety third defeat
The army in the entire dynasty had more than oo-bomb Han troops and more than 4 surrendered troops. There were more than 5 cavalry retreated in front of them. The Han army in the major dynasty had a fire gun, and the advantages of firearms were much stronger than that of the Ming army. If they formed a formation and suffered great losses, they would always last until dawn. Then the Ming army would be ineffective and in the south, Guoan would also send troops to rescue them. In any case, the entire army would not be wiped out. [However, after hearing the Ming army's cannon sound, the whole army could not figure it out, but instead lost its composure. He actually ordered an immediate breakthrough. As a result, nearly ten thousand Qing troops scattered in the following ways.
Guilin General Xu Tianyou rushed to the Central Army and wanted to seek asylum. The scene in front of him made him fall into the bottom of the ice again. He only saw that Quanjie led his personal guards and a group of Han troops to the east, and he didn't have to think too much about it, so he followed him on horseback.
Quanjie was completely frightened. Yuqi said that it was the Ming army's cannons that made him think the situation was hopeless, but it was the bluffing Ming army that fooled the veteran general on the battlefield. When the first cannon came, Quanjie, in a panic, shouted in his hometown of Guangning, Liaodong, and wanted his subordinates to break through quickly.
After breaking through the order, the central army was in chaos. The battle formation of thousands of people was continuous for several miles, and the darkness was still in the darkness. So the whole festival ran east, Zhou Guoding, and 6 Sanxiang and the others ran west. In the north, Qi Wannian, who wanted to join the central army under the pursuit of the Ming army, Liu Desheng and the others were also stunned, so they shouted and joined the great fugitive.
6 Sanxiang ran west with her soldiers. In order not to let the Ming army appear, he asked the soldiers who were tying torches to throw them down. Thousands of people ran wildly in the dark night. On the way, countless Qing soldiers were tripped by stones on the ground and pushed down by their companions behind them. The Ming army was not sure where they were, but the Qing army scared themselves, so they cried all the way, and no less than a hundred people were injured when they fell.
Many Qing soldiers were really unable to run away, and they were slandering their eyes. They didn't know where they were and where their companions were running, so they simply sat down on the ground, then groped out the fire slips and found some hay to light them. After the fire light came up, they were not vague. They knelt wherever they had their knees soft, and looked for Ming soldiers to deal with them.
There was no fire illuminating the road, and there was no moonlight in the sky, but 6 Sanxiang was also surprisingly lucky. In a hurried manner, he actually asked him to run to Yumeng Mountain. He shouted everywhere and there were many soldiers following him, but the Ming army did not see them, and he felt relieved.
Feeling that 6 Sanxiang and a group of Qing soldiers who saved their lives were hiding in the dark woods, some of whom did not dare to breathe, and some were gasping for breath. They all leaned their heads and looked at the scene in the distance. They saw that their troops had completely collapsed, and there were Ming soldiers chasing everywhere, and their last trace of courage was lost.
6 Sanxiang sighed and touched her bare head. A very realistic question came to his heart, that is, how could he escape back.
I can't run out at night, and Isn't it even more difficult to run out at dawn?
The Qing army was in chaos, and the wolf was running everywhere. The generals ignored the soldiers and the soldiers ignored the generals. Yu Shizhong was overjoyed and didn't care about his command. He sent all the soldiers at hand to chase and kill the Qing army. As a result, Yu Shizhong soon found that he could not command his subordinates, because the Qing army was in chaos, and the Ming army was also in chaos.
The brigade did not know where the camp was, the battalion did not know where the guard was, and the guards did not know where the team was. Only the sergeant commanders at the bottom could still gather their troops.
"The chaos is to disrupt the chaos. Wherever there are Qing soldiers, you will chase them!"
Yu Shizhong made the last order for this battle, and then sent someone to report the current situation and the town command post, asking the town command post to establish a Qing army shelter immediately, and he personally took the direct brigade guards to Shibanqiao. No matter how chaotic the Qing army was, if they wanted to break through, they would have to pass the stone bridge in the south. As long as they guard the stone bridge, the Qing army would not want to run out. By dawn, no matter how many people these Qing troops lost their command were, what's the use?
Under the order of "disturbing chaos", Brigade C each fought on its own. In the dark night, the Ming army lost unified command and chased the Qing army everywhere. The only thing that could identify the identities of both sides was the accent. For a time, the Guangdong-Guangxi dialect was ringing everywhere. Often after a Ming army caught up with a team of Qing soldiers, the other party was in Cantonese dialect. If it weren't for shouting in advance, both sides would probably be able to kill the first one.
The Qing soldiers were also cunning. Now there were Ming soldiers shouting everywhere around them, so they remained silent. When the Ming soldiers caught up with them and asked questions, they didn't say a word, trying to harm the other party. After a few times of this, the Ming soldiers stopped hesitating to the Qing soldiers who didn't speak, and they chased after them. Later, the Qing soldiers answered neither, nor did they answered nor did they answered. They could only make up their minds and closed their eyes and ran forward. Anyway, even if they opened their eyes, they could not see them.
The same chaos also arose in Brigade A and Brigade B. The Qing army suddenly collapsed. In the dark night, Li Guoan and Hu Mingyi could not effectively command their troops to pursue the Qing army, so they simply gritted their teeth and sent their subordinates out. Anyway, the Qing army was in chaos, and the Ming army would always pursue those who were chasing them.
This battle, the Qing army could not defeat the market, and at worst it would be chaos. But isn’t this chaos exactly what the Ming army needs?
When Quanjie ran east, he remembered that there was Liujiang on the east side, and there was a Ming army naval army on the river. He led people like this to seek death, or the Ming army naval army could not show them. When the Ming army caught up, could he jump into the river and escape? So Quanjie's mind changed very quickly. Seeing that the army was already in chaos, he led his personal guards and more than a thousand Han army camps closely to break out to the south.
There is only one hope for Quanjie, that is, the Ming army did not completely block the way to flee south. Thousands of Qing army operations were impossible to be exposed by the Ming army. Soon, a group of Ming army chasing them bit the headquarters of Quanjie. The Ming army, which was responsible for interception in the south, also kept blocking the Qing army, who was fighting to break through.
I don’t know how many leads I got hit along the way, and countless people fell down. Quanjie himself was almost stabbed from the horse by the Ming army with a spear. It was almost the lives of his subordinates to protect himself from running south. In the dark, he successfully passed through the Song Family Wo Tower like a blind cat hitting a mouse.
All the festival ran out of the Song Family Wo Tower, and the rest of the Qing army were not so lucky. Their morale fell to the extreme, and many people could no longer bear it. After hearing the Ming army's kneeling and surrendering in the night, they knelt down and surrendered one after another.
Some Han soldiers were unwilling to surrender and had nowhere to run away. They were very fierce under the pursuit of the Ming army. They rushed towards the Ming army with weapons and howled, and soon there was no sound. More Qing troops lay in hidden places or hid in the woods. The Ming army held torches to search the mountains, and the Qing army did not even have the courage to attack these Ming army cold arrows, because once the Ming army showed them, the Ming army holding bird guns would rush into the forest and then began to set fires everywhere. They did not want to be beaten or burned to death, all the Qing army could do was to hide themselves more secretly.
Geng Juxian led his men to rush forward regardless of the situation, allowing Ming Jun's lead to fly over his head, and actually made him rush over, but there were less than 300 people following him. Cao Rong, who was a robber of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, was also in this team, but he was injured at this time. The lead to Ming Jun's lead on his chest was not fatal, but the wound kept bleeding, which made him grit his teeth.
Quanjie, who had finally escaped from the blockade and interception of the Ming army, was desperate again. The only stone bridge in front of him that could cross the river was already covered with Ming army. Torches were inserted on the bridge, reflecting the stone bridge like daytime.
"Run over, rush over!"
Thousands of Qing soldiers rushed towards the Ming army on the stone bridge in order to survive. As a result, after the Ming army only fired a round of guns, no Qing soldiers dared to rush out of the stone bridge. Many Qing soldiers "bravely" jumped out of the river and wanted to swim to the other side. However, the river water was cold and the river was soaked in cotton coats on their bodies was extremely heavy, which made them sink halfway down the river one by one. In this situation, how could the Qing army behind dare to go into the water?
If they could not swim over and rush over the bridge, they were really defeated like a mountain. More than a thousand Qing troops were elite Han troops, all of which were warriors who had experienced many battles. If they were determined not to die, they would rush to the Ming army on the stone bridge. No matter how tenacious Yu Shizhong was, he would have less than two hundred soldiers and could not stop several times the Qing army. However, under such a great collapse, no matter how brave the Qing army was, he would have lost his backbone and no one would want to die. Therefore, no matter how many of them were, they could not save the defeat.
"Subsequently, we've been!"
"Brothers from Ming army are Han people. We surrender, and we surrender, don't kill us!"
There was no way to heaven and no way to the ground. First, more than a dozen Han soldiers shouted for surrender, and then all the more than a thousand Han soldiers surrendered. Some officers who refused to surrender and scolded the surrendered soldiers were also killed by the surrendered soldiers who were eager to survive.
The whole festival was ashamed. Knowing that the situation was going to go, he took advantage of the chaos and led a few personal soldiers back into the mountains. When he was in Dongfangbai, he was walking into a canal southwest of Yumeng Mountain, a personal soldier accidentally fell into a deep and overwhelmed place, and was so scared that he shouted for help.
The cry for help from dawn frightened Quanjie and several other personal soldiers. They were afraid that the cry for help from the personal soldiers would attract the Ming army to search, so a personal soldier took a knife to kill his companion in the canal with a knife. Several people walked around the canal and groped south. When it was almost dawn, they saw a small village in front of them that seemed very calm. Because they were hungry and tired, Quanjie decided to send a personal soldier in to check and find some food. Unexpectedly, as soon as the personal soldier entered the village, he was caught by a team of Ming soldiers resting in the village. After waiting for a while, Quanjie knew that something was wrong, so he quickly took the remaining three personal soldiers away.
Soon after dawn, the four of them hid all the way, but the main roads to the south were guarded by the Ming army, and they had no way to go. Finally, the four people sat under a big tree and cried with their heads in their arms, then untied their belts and prepared to hang themselves on the tree. The personal soldiers tried hard to persuade him to detour west and run to Guizhou from the mountains, and maybe they could escape. While Quanjie was hesitating, a team of Ming soldiers suddenly appeared, and the personal soldiers who were walking in the village to look for food.
The Qing Han army flag, the left wing general of the Dingnan vassal state, was captured. Hearing that the entire wing was captured, Zhao Ziqiang, the fifth town general, immediately ordered the people to be sent, and at the same time ordered the various troops to count the casualties and seizures. He could no longer suppress the news of his victory at the Military Commander's Mansion.
The Han army commander Tong Zhengliang was the first to run away at night. He fled all the way to the Liujiang River. He gathered some defeated soldiers on the road and touched about a hundred people. Seeing that there was nowhere to escape, Tong Zhengliang led these defeated soldiers to hide in the grass storm by the river, wanting to escape the Ming army search here. Unexpectedly, a team of Ming troops chased the riverside and was lazy to search in the grass storm, but directly set fire outside. As a result, Tong Zhengliang and others were surrounded by fire and had nowhere to run, so they had to jump into the river. Two days later, Tong Zhengliang's body was found outside Liuzhou City downstream. The body was already swollen, and half of the legs and feet were eaten by fish and shrimp.
Zhou Guoding, who was originally a general of the former army, was the first Qing army general to surrender to the Ming army. After surrendering, the Ming army asked him to go into the mountains to recruit the Qing army to surrender. As a result, 6 Sanxiang, who was unable to escape, heard the voice of Zhou Guoding, went down the mountain to surrender without hesitation.
The Han army commander Qi Wannian died in the chaos of the army, and the left-wing deputy general Liu Desheng died in the battle. Geng Juxian, the deputy commander of the Han army who was commanding the cavalry, fell off his horse and was captured in front of the Song family's wolves. Cao Rong led the people to abandon their horses and wanted to hide up the mountain, but was tied up by his subordinates and sent to the Ming army to surrender.
In this battle, the Qing army suffered 39 generals of all sizes and below, 526 soldiers, and nearly 600 captured and surrendered to the Qing army. More than 2,000 Qing troops fled into the mountains and forests, missing. Only Guilin general Xu Tianyou led dozens of defeated soldiers to successfully escape back.
Xing Guoan waited in the camp overnight, but then he waited for Xu Tianyou and dozens of defeated soldiers under his command, and his face looked ugly and scary on the spot.
