He rode his horse in a daze towards the fork in the road, and Tunqi was full of thoughts of being trapped again. The last time Nikan was caught in the ambush of Li Dingguo, he could not escape from the encirclement alive. Nothing than that prince, he was just a small Dorobel, and Shurhazi's grandson, not Nurhaci's bloodline. If he was trapped in a heavy siege, he was afraid that no one would even save him.

The survival of the army prompted Tunqi to suck his war horses hard, for fear of being caught up by the Ming army or being surrounded. However, after a while, someone in the Qing army started shouting loudly, yelling that the Ming army had not taken advantage of the victory and pursued it.

Hearing this, Tunqi quickly looked back and saw that it had just rained yesterday, even after the army passed, it did not stir up any smoke. Soon, he discovered that as the Qing army said, the Ming army really did not catch up.

But it was one thing that the Ming army did not catch up. Tunqi, who stopped the war horses, immediately realized another problem. Nikan was dead, and he was a prince. The Qing Dynasty had never suffered such a great defeat since the Wanli Dynasty, nor had he lost such a high-level general, and he was also the commander of this Qing army.

Now that Tunqi took over the title of General Dingyuan, he became the commander of this army. The Qing court even drew the army of Arjin, who had been fighting against the Ming army in Zhejiang at any time, and merged with him from Jiangxi, which was already attacked by the Ming army in Zhejiang. But the key to the problem is that a prince died, and all the commanders and generals and schools below were all committed to making meritorious contributions. He just ran away in a daze for his life, but if he just went back like this, he was afraid that it would be a word of death.

Since the Ming army did not pursue, it was obviously not intended to expand the results of the war. As for why he was not very clear, but once he thought of this, Tunqi seemed to see hope of escaping punishment from the Qing court.

Seeing this, Tunqi immediately sent an order to order the army to be calm. Then he found a group of senior generals under his command, explained them clearly the principle of making meritorious contributions, and brought out the Shunzhi imperial edict that "if the feelings are incomprehensible and the abandoned master will be defeated, the Dharma will be corrected there" was intimidated, and finally brought the generals together again.

The temporary military controversy ended, but the Ming army still did not pursue it. It took only a moment. Tunqi sent a confidant to rush to Huajie immediately after reorganizing the army.

The Ming army at the foot of Zhoujiapu Mountain was still cheering and cleaning the battlefield. They rushed to kill the Qing army that had not escaped, and then competed for the wealth and war horses. The Qing army did not run far, but had just disappeared from sight and saw all this almost immediately when they returned.

The boss's strict orders, the bloodthirsty nature of the barbarians, and the sadness of the rabbit and the fox at this moment made the Qing army boost their morale. The cavalry came out everywhere, covering the infantry and lined up, and the entire army advanced towards the Ming army, who was still stunned with an unprecedented momentum.

When the Qing army returned, Sun Kewang was stunned immediately, but whether it was the former army he brought, or the subordinates of Feng Shuangli and Bai Wenxuan, most of them were elite troops among the Ming army in the southwest. After a brief shock, the old Xiying officers who had been through the battle formation quickly led the headquarters to re-arrange the formation, and even the cavalry returned to the battlefield to fight with the Qing army's cavalry to cover the infantry to re-arrange the formation.

After a round of raids and missing opportunities, both sides returned to the starting point again. It rained yesterday, the ground was quite muddy and the air was tide. The Ming army's light cavalry assaulted, and the Qing army fled in panic. None of the two sides had time to move the artillery out again, so they had to start the confrontation in a more primitive way.

The light cavalry that was covering began to slowly disperse, and the battle formations of the two armies were constantly approaching. When they reached the land of one arrow, the archers of the two armies pulled their bows and shot them upwards. In an instant, the sky in front of the two armies was covered with interlaced arrows, as if locust plagues from the two places were converging here and continuing to move towards each other's destinations.

The arrows fell, causing a crisp sound of beeping, and sometimes there were some uncontrollable pain. The two armies were still approaching, and they were only a few dozen meters away. Both sides were like two apprentices taught by a master. A team of swords and shield soldiers almost at the same time in front of the formation, throwing large and small throwing weapons at the opponent.

Accompanied by those sharp and even some of the javelins, flying axes, flying knives or something that reflected different colors in the sun, the soldiers of the two armies burst out with the most shocking shouts, maintaining the formation and colliding on the other side's battle formation in the most violent way.

The heavy army group of the Qing army was composed of the Eight Banners Army, including the Eight Banners of Manchuria, the Eight Banners of Mongolia and the Eight Banners of Han Army. This was the most core force of the Qing Dynasty. In the battle formation, more soldiers from the Eight Banners of Manchuria and the Eight Banners of Han Army were from the Eight Banners of Manchuria and the Eight Banners of Han Army. They were far better in infantry battles than those of the Sauvignons, and the Eight Banners of Manchuria were more accustomed to infantry fighting to defeat the enemy and riding horses to pursue the battle method was very different from those of the Mongols.

On the Ming army, the core force was the former Xiying bandits. After entering Sichuan, they established feudal rule for a while, but eventually gave up Sichuan under the pressure of internal and external forces and improper rule strategies. When they entered Yunnan, they took all the entire Yunnan with the help of pacifying the Shadingzhou Rebellion, and absorbed the Ming army in Guizhou into their own teams through alliances, becoming the most powerful Ming army today. In the Daxi Army, in addition to the troops of Li Dingguo who had already left Huguang, Sun Kewang's army in the forefront can be said to be the most elite army.

As soon as the collision occurred, blood splashed everywhere in front of the two armies, spears broke through the body, and the waist and knife penetrated into the flesh. More of the sound of ping-pong sounds made by the collision of weapons.

Although there were more Ming troops in the duel between tens of thousands and tens of thousands of people, they could not gain any advantage in the battle formation for a while. Instead, they were in a stalemate like flesh and blood until the moment the morale of the opponent was exhausted.

Under the Dragon Banner, Sun Kewang watched the two armies fighting from afar. The fierceness really made him frightened. It was one thing to hear that the Eight Banners were invincible, and it was one thing to hear that Li Ding's BN had killed Nikan. But when it was really time for him to personally command the army to fight the Eight Banner heavy army group, it was another thing to say.

The next second, Sun Kewang waved, and a group of men with felt-milled feet behind the formation shouted and rushed into the formation. These men threw three-wheeled javelins in the gaps in the battle formation, which was very accurate. Almost every shot could nail a Qing army to the ground. Even if it could not be killed directly, it could often cause a certain degree of damage to it, allowing the Ming army in front of him to get the opportunity to kill him in one fell swoop.

After the three-wheeled javelin, these men drew out their waist swords in one go, and they all had two swords in their hands. Since ancient times, those who held the two swords were all fighting men. These men in strange costumes quickly rushed to the front of the formation, and the Ming army in fierce battles were all given up their positions to them under the command of the officers.

These men's waists were long and straight, and almost all the hilts had round or circular tails. These people were Yi soldiers recruited by the Ming army in the southwest from Yunnan, also known as Luo Luo, who was the most fond of fighting and killing. On the battlefield, these Luo Luo rushed to the front of the formation, and their swords immediately waved like flying, slashing the round shields and weapons of the Qing army with one knife, and immediately suppressed the Qing army.

In fact, it was not that the Qing army was not good at martial arts. The Qing army, which was originally fighting back and forth, had a weaker number, once had a vague advantage. However, over the years, the tactics of the Ming and Qing armies have become consistent, but there are slightly different in the details. Just like when they first encountered the Zhejiang Admiral Battalion in Nantang Camp, the usual opponents of these elite Qing army soldiers were mostly swords, shields, and spears. Facing these two waist knives in their hands, flying up and down, they were completely a fighter who acted like a desperate fighter, and could not adapt to the opponent's attack frequency.

Luo Luo was originally a weapon for the Ming army in the southwest to break the formation. In fact, the Ming army that can now be no less than the Qing army on local battlefields also has many weapons different from the past - the Yuanyang Formation in Zhejiang, the Qie Armored Soldiers in Fujian, and the Luo Luo and the Elephant of the Ming army in the southwest. The old tactics of the Qing army all showed more or less decline when facing these.

At this time, yesterday's heavy rain gave Sun Kewang's army the opportunity to sneak and merge, realizing the sudden attack just now and the more to fight less at this moment, but the mud caused by the heavy rain also made his war elephant unable to function as usual.

Fortunately, those Luo Luo had taken over the battlefield and as expected, they could start chasing after persisting for a while. Even if the elite troops of these Eight Banners Army were more capable of fighting, it would be a little longer. In addition to Luo Luo, his army was also far superior in strength, and this Qing army would undoubtedly be defeated!

The intense sound of war drums made Sun Kewang's spirit even more excited. He originally planned to secede the southwest, but if this battle could be successful in one fell swoop, who would say that Sun Kewang could ascend the throne in Nanjing or Beijing. By then, the Emperor Yongli, Li Dingguo, Liu Wenxiu, or the two small military leaders in the southeast would have to bow down and surrender.

After a long time, the Qing army had already shown signs of decline. The Qing cavalry of the brigade began to fight from the junction between the central army and the left and right wings and the sides of the army, aiming to fight to the death. At this time, Feng Shuangli and Bai Wenxuan, commanders of the left and right wings of the Ming army, also dispatched cavalry to fight, and both sides were already fighting for this last breath.

The troops were obviously superior, and Sun Kewang also had a reserve team composed of tens of thousands of infantry and cavalry in his hand. However, he was not in a hurry to use it, but planned to use it to carry out a more fierce pursuit when the Qing army collapsed. But in the blink of an eye, a large group of cavalry bypassed the flesh and blood mills of the two armies and rushed towards Sun Kewang's dragon flag.

"Master, order the soldiers to form a formation. As long as you persist for a while, the army will defeat the Tartars."

The Qing army's cavalry rushed out from another direction. As soon as they appeared in sight, Sun Kewang woke up from his dream of ascending the throne and being crowned, and immediately felt like falling into an ice cellar.

"Master, you can't hesitate anymore. The Tartars will come here in a while!"

The suggestions from the trusted generals around him pulled Sun Kewang up like a life-saving straw, but the cold feeling did not leave. Especially after hearing the sincere request from the general, Sun Kewang had only the matter of how to protect himself.

"I don't want to die, I don't want to die!"

The murmuring in his mouth continued, Sun Kewang quickly turned his horse's head, whipped it down, and the good horse under his crotch ran out like a flying, heading towards Baoqing.
