Chapter 141 kill the king
Unlike Zheng Chenggong, there were almost no cavalry in the army, and they could only rely on infantry to pursue. After years of confrontation with the Qing army in the 6th, in this battle, the Kuaiji County Prince's Mansion Guard, the Cavalry Battalion under the Jinhua Division, the cavalry teams of the four battle camps participating in the battle, and the full 2,000 cavalry. This was the killer weapon used by Chen Wen to counterattack. Moreover, this was the situation where the cavalry team directly under the Jinhua Division was still left in Yin Yue's hands to respond.
The Ming army's cavalry, led by Chen Wen, came out from behind the Ming army's formation, bypassed the guard camp, broke out between this camp and the front camp that covered the flank, and headed straight for Yue Le's commanding flag.
After persisting for a long time, the Manchu and Han Army lost a lot of losses, so he had to send the Mongolian Eight Banners selected from the Eight Banners in Hangzhou to the battlefield. Some of them were supplemented with infantry battle formations, while the other part was sent to cooperate with other cavalry to harass the flanks of the Ming army.
However, the exchange ratio was too big, and Yue Le had to move the general flag forward, relying on the identity of the noble king to maintain morale, waiting for Yibai to take over Qiao Sizhen behind the Ming army to reverse the defeat. However, the news about Yibai has not yet come, but Chen Wen took the lead in fighting out with the cavalry, and Yue Le's heart was immediately depressed.
Using infantry to break the formation and then rely on cavalry to pursue, Chen Wen's cavalry scale has never been comparable to that of the Qing Dynasty, so he had to play to his strengths and avoid his weaknesses and rely on infantry to decide the outcome, and cavalry was just used to expand the results of the battle.
When that was the case, Chen Wen led the cavalry out, stirring up a large amount of smoke and dust. Yue Le naturally could not see it, and naturally could not guess what the end of the Qing army in Yibai was, and it was even more impossible not to understand that this was a critical moment when one battle decided to win and lose!
The Ming cavalry was fast and Yue Le's reaction was not slow, but the clever wife couldn't cook without rice. He had sent all the reserve teams out, hoping that Ibai could create a miracle. Now that the hope was shattered, it was difficult for the reserve team to take back for a while, so it was really hard to decide what to do.
"Master, the Ming army is in great power, let's retreat first."
"Yes, master. In the words of the Han people, keep the green mountains and there is no need to worry about no firewood. Only by living can you get a chance to avenge Chen Wen."
The servants around him talked all over the place, but they all said something like running. It is normal to escape, but he is Prince Heshuo'an. If he escapes with such an identity, the blow to the morale of the Eight Banners is really fatal. At this moment, Yue Le even remembered Nikan. Did Prince Jingjin have such a choice when he was besieged by the Ming army?
"No, I will die here today!"
The momentary hesitation was not enough to make the Ming army's cavalry rush to arrive, but the new round of attacks by the Ming army on the main battlefield began to play the music of destruction.
On the battlefield, the Ming army relied on the tactics of long spear jungle and rat fighting, and advanced step by step on the battle formation. In this regard, the Qing army had to rely on the shield formation to fight hard, delaying the collapse caused by excessive casualties. However, in the continuous consumption, the battle formation had to move backwards, and it had retreated to the place of the wooden stake!
The deafening sound of cannons rang out again after a long time of silence. The shells roared and fell, just like before, directly smashed into the back row of the Qing army's battle formation.
There were only one of the four shells falling into the crowd, and the other three were all hit behind the battle formation. These were the positions of the artillery, the angle of the muzzle, the weight of the shell, and the amount of gunpowder were all like this. But even so, deviations were inevitable.
However, it was just a shell, but when he was in the battle formation, the shock of the Eight Banners Army still successfully awakened the fear of the first battle. Whether it was one or a few, it became unimportant at this time.
"If you lose, you will die if you don't run away!"
The shells fell, like the last straw that crushed the camel, and the Qing army's battle formation collapsed instantly. The shield formation that had just formed a formation to resist the Ming army was broken, and the shield formation that maintained the Qing army's formation was also broken.
What is unparalleled in the cavalry, what is invincible in the battle, what is the famous of the Eight Banners, and what is the invincible reputation of the Eight Banners, is not important to survive. The scene of the Eight Banners warriors fleeing again after last year's Siming Lake. They knew very well that no matter which Ming army it was, they would not give the bannermen a way out. This is their will to fight to the end. When they fell into collapse, this will also be the source of their motivation to escape.
The shells did not hit Yue Le, and they did not even fall within nearly a hundred steps of his life, but the collapse of the battle formation directly knocked Yue Le's fighting spirit to the bottom.
Thousands of defeated soldiers were running away, and the soldiers were ashamed. This was no longer possible for him to do so. Even though he was crying and yelling to die here in battle, Yue Le could not stand the tricks of the many Goshhas, and was soon put on the war horse. One of them, Goshha, whipped the butt of the war horse with a whip, and thrust the good horse under Yue Le's crotch and jumped out.
On the main battlefield, the Qing army was defeated, and countless defeated soldiers wanted to escape back to the auxiliary soldiers so as to get rid of war horses to escape from this dead land. However, with the driving force of the Ming army's infantry and the hunting of cavalry, very few people were able to escape. The collapse of the main battlefield naturally affected the flank battlefield, and defeat became a fact. Even Yue Le's commanding flag fell down, and these Qing cavalry naturally fled. As for Qiaosi Town, the Ming army's mandarin duck formation began to encircle and eliminate the sporadic Qing army, and the time for the complete end of the battle may be faster than the main battlefield and flanks.
The Ming cavalry arrived in a flash, and the outcome had already been decided. Of course, Yin Yue came to coordinate the overall situation. Chen Wen divided the cavalry camp to expand the results, while he led a large group of cavalry to chase Yue Le and other fleeing Qing army officers.
Yue Le's escape direction was naturally Hangzhou, where there were Eight Banners soldiers, Green Camp soldiers and the city of Hangzhou. Next, should we defend or turn in, and go there first to get rid of the Ming army's pursuers before making plans.
Chen Wen led the cavalry to pursue along the way. Can he always catch up with some Qing army officers, Goshha or cavalry? It was just that more and more cavalry teams were divided, but there were fewer and fewer people around him.
After driving the horse for a long time, Chen Wen vaguely saw some Qing troops in the distance from the telescope. It seemed that he had been running for too long, so he wanted to slow down his horse.
It was not too far from Hangzhou. I caught a lot of big fish along the way, including Gushan Ezhen, Meile Zhangjing and other Qing army officers, and there was also a prince-in-law. Chen Wen didn't understand whose son-in-law and brother-in-law were all thrown to the Ming army who was in charge of the prisoners. Although he hadn't seen Yue Le yet, he also planned to withdraw his troops for the time being. But suddenly he saw a group of Qing troops in the distance, and naturally there was no reason to miss it.
……………………
"You dog slaves!"
The horse whip hit Goshha, but these Goshhas didn't even dare to move.
According to the Qing Dynasty, the master was in the battle and the slave returned to death. Besides, their master was still a prince. Three years ago, the Qing Dynasty had already lost two princes in a row. He really couldn't afford to have another bad news that the noble king died at the hands of the Ming army. At present, they could only endure Yue Le's anger released. When this anger was exhausted, they would be safe for the time being.
After dozens of whips, Captain Goshha saw that Yue Le was a little tired, so he quickly asked him to advise him. The blame for the defeat could be left to Ibai and Liu Liangzuo. The former had long been infamous among the families stationed in the Eight Banners in Hangzhou, while the latter was a Han Chinese with no aid and power in the Eight Banners Army, which could be used as a scapegoat. They are still in the wild and have enough rest for the war horses. They always have to escape back to Hangzhou before they can get safe.
"master……"
Unexpectedly, before the words were finished, the sound of horse hooves trampling on the earth came from afar, from a distance to near. When the frightened birds vaguely saw that it was the Ming army rather than the Qing army's defeated soldiers, they immediately became furious. However, at this time, Yue Le no longer had the determination to die in battle. It was nothing, and it was wrong to do the right thing at the right time, and there was no need to do that.
The pursuit battle exploded again, and their horsepower recovered better, but the Ming army started running from the rest point, and the horse racing had already risen. One was still in the process of increasing the level, while the other was already at its peak. Soon the Ming army chased into the range of the bow.
With a whooshing whistling, the Ming army's cavalry shot out one sharp arrow after another. On the Qing army, Yue Le's Goshha and others also rode their horses and turned around and shot hard.
The distance between the two sides was getting closer, but soon the Qing army's horses were lifted up, and the good horses under their crotch gradually began to show an advantage over the Ming army's mounts that had been captured all year round.
The distance was about to start to move further away. Although he had shot a few Goshhas, the real big fish was right in front of him. Even if Chen Wen didn't know that he had really stepped on the shit and bumped into Yue Le, he was definitely a big shot from the outfit on his body.
He would not be able to ride and shoot, but with the BMW that Shunzhi had originally rewarded Hong Chengchou with him, he was not at all inferior in terms of his level.
The distance is getting closer, but if you continue like this, you will never be able to get the big fish when the horse is exhausted. Fortunately, you can't ride and shoot, but Chen Wen is not without new products. The next second, he took out a beautifully made shot from the bag originally used to hang a quiver pot. At first glance, it was a flint gun made by a famous craftsman. He completed the loading on the bumpy war horse, aimed at the big fish in the distance and shot it with one shot!
The projectiles fired from the musket cannot be avoided at all, not to mention that Chen Wen's musket was specially made by the master to rifle for a long time, and the hit was not to be mentioned. However, this scene was seen by a Goshha beside Yue Le in advance. The moment he aimed at shooting, Goshha jumped up from the war horse and rushed directly to Yue Le, who was riding a horse.
"Prince, be careful!"
The shot was inevitably lost, but Yue Le was pushed down by the Goshha. The two rolled on the ground for several meters before stopping. While Yue Le was still dizzy, the Goshha jumped up and drew his sword and blocked Yue Le's face.
"Protect the prince!"
Hearing the sound, Yuele's Goshha and others turned their horses and rushed forward. The cavalry battle was about to hit, and one of them got off the horse and tried to make Prince Heshuo'an, who had fallen into the horse, and seemed to have his arm off, so that his master could escape as soon as possible.
The number of guards around him was far greater than that of Yue Le's Goshha. Although Chen Wen couldn't understand Manchu language, the expressions of those Goshha could still see too much information.
Seeing this, Chen Wen took out a hand gun with a somewhat abnormal shape from the side pocket of the saddle, and then took out a few sub-guns from the side pocket on the other side, inserting one of them into this electric gun-type flint gun that was also made by a seductive craftsman.
A "bang" sounded, and the Goshhadden who tried to hold Yue Le to the war horse fell to the ground, and Yue Le fell heavily from the side of the war horse.
Chen Wen originally planned to shoot the horse because the target of the war horse was larger, but unexpectedly, the distance was still missed. He lamented the luck factor of the bore gun, but his goal had been achieved, at least he had obtained the big fish in the net.
The cavalry battle ended soon, and only Yue Le was left on the battlefield, a Qing army wearing a lightning rod. If it weren't for Chen Wen's personal capture, I'm afraid that the guards would have been chopped off their heads and hung them on the war horse and went back to receive the merits.
"Prince Heshuo'an Aisin Gioro* Yue Le?"
"Are you the Zhejiang bandit Chen Wen?"
Although Yue Le did not give a direct answer, this was self-evident, especially when he looked closer, he didn't need to doubt it anymore. Instead, the nickname he said in Chinese made Chen Wen feel a little surprised.
"So that's what you group of Tartars call me. They are really barbarians and have no education at all."
Yue Le did not answer Chen Wen's joke. At this moment, he had one arm off, but he leaned against the other arm and held the sword tremblingly under the siege of the Ming army.
"I am defeated by you today, and there is nothing to say. But you need to know that I have been in the Qing Dynasty for decades, and it is impossible for you, the Han dogs, to make a big splash."
After saying that, the sword in Yue Le's hand was about to be slashed on his neck. He committed suicide, which was the only decent way of death he could think of, but the moment he raised his hand, a gun stabbed accurately into his hand.
"ah!"
The sword fell to the ground and screamed. The guards put away their spears, and Chen Wen rode his horse slowly to Yue Le.
"I want to learn from Kong Youde? You don't have this right!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Wen slashed at Yue Le's neck with a sword. The next second, the head flew up and the body fell to the ground with a bang.
