Chapter 99 Defeat Dorgon
The cry of defeat spread with fear. The Mongols, who were originally comparable to the Ming cavalry, also collapsed completely because of the defeat of the Jurchen cavalry. Moreover, the Mongols ran faster than the Jurchens. They were light cavalry and ran away when they saw that the situation was not good. The Mongols were still clever in riding. There was no possibility that Youdai's Ming army would catch up with the Mongols.
The Jin army in the middle lane was more difficult to escape. They were wearing heavy armor, which affected the speed of the horse and reduced the endurance of the war horses. Even if they gave the Jurchens three horses, their speed was not as fast as that of the Mongolian soldiers with one and two horses. This was the case that Huang Taiji chased Lin Danhan, but he failed to catch up until the end and was fled to Qinghai by Lin Danhan. In the end, Lin Danhan died of smallpox and died in Qinghai, which caused Mongolia to collapse completely.
"Come up quickly and kill Dorgon!" Li Laoer saw that the Mongols on both wings had collapsed, and immediately asked someone to issue a banner to the Ming cavalry on both wings.
When You Dai saw the banner of the middle lane, he immediately realized that he could not catch up with the Mongols, so he would rather work with the central army to kill the Jurchens together. So the three thousand Ming troops on both sides gathered towards the middle lane, shouted together, and pressed up to the Jin army.
The Later Jin army was defeated, and Li Laoer's seven hundred iron cavalry was unstoppable, like a sharp sword that penetrated the formation of the Jin army. The seven hundred iron cavalry were all wearing heavy armor. The Jurchens could not shoot through the armor of the iron cavalry with arrows shot back with their stair bows. Except for a few people who were caught in the horses, most of the cavalry had several or even dozens of arrows, all of which were safe and sound, and continued to chase and fight back closely behind the Jin army.
Li Laoer rushed to the first place and caught up with the Jin soldier who fled at the last. Li Laoer stabbed forward with a horse spear in his hand, pierced the Jin soldier's back and lifted him off the horse. Then Li Laoer caught up with the second Jin soldier, swept away the horse's spear and swept the Jin soldier off the horse's back. Then seven hundred iron horses trampled past, and the fallen Jin soldier was trampled into meat paste.
Seven hundred iron cavalry kept catching up with the Jin soldiers. The Jin soldiers who were caught were hit hard by the Ming army with blunt weapons. When the armor met the blunt weapons, they were knocked down one after another and were knocked off the horse.
You Dai's three thousand Ming soldiers were in high spirits and poured in from the two wings into the middle, approaching the Jin army. The three-eyed guns in the hands of the Ming cavalry roared one after another, and led bullets were fired, and the roar was deafening. The smoke of gunpowder was filled with gunpowders, and all the Jin soldiers who were shot at the close range flew everywhere, falling from the horse's back like dumplings.
In the past, when fighting with the Mongols, You Dai did not let the Ming army finish the three-eyed gun projectile, but left some just in case. Now, when facing the Jin cavalry, the three-eyed gun is just in handy.
"Die!" You Dai caught up with a Jin soldier, hooked the Jin soldier with a sickle in his hand, dragged him off the horse's back, and the Ming cavalry behind rushed forward, trampling the fallen Jin soldier to his stomach and rotten.
The Ming cavalry behind them waved the three-eyed guns that had been shot with bullets and smashed them on the Jin soldiers. The heavy three-eyed guns were hit on them, and the armor could not be stopped at all. The hit Jin soldiers immediately became sunken and their bones were shattered.
Dorgon shouted to Gushan Ezhen Kak Duli: "Kak Duli, please return to the Khan's place and bring people to the reception! Leave it here to me to cut off the rear!"
"Master Beile, please leave! Leave it here to the slave!" Kakduli shouted and ordered the flag director under his command to immediately cover Dorgon to retreat first.
Meleezhen Irgengio Ashan rushed out: "Sir! Go quickly and let the last one be cut off in the future!"
"Go away!" Kak Duli whipped Ashan with a whip and shouted, "Go away! I am Gushan Ejin, Master Beile is gone. If I leave again, the soldiers will be dispersed. I wonder how many people will be able to go back alive!"
Gushan Ezhen Kak Duli's status in the Zhengbai Banner is second only to the banner leader Dorgon. He is not only the highest commander in managing the affairs and logistics of the Zhengbai Banner, but also the head of the Alihachaoha camp. Ashan is the Meile Ezhen who assists him, and his status is second to Dorgon and Kar Duli.
Youdai's Ming cavalry was not as good as the Later Jin army, but the load of war horses was much lighter, and the horse speed was faster than that of the Jurchen cavalry. Three thousand Ming cavalry surrounded the two wings and blocked the retreat of the Jurchen cavalry.
The Mongols had run away, and less than a thousand Jin troops were left, surrounded by more than three thousand Ming cavalry in the core. Dorgon also lost his fighting spirit and just wanted to break out as soon as possible.
Meleezhen Ashan and Niuluezhensu guarded Dorgon, and led his cavalry and white-armored soldiers to break through the Ming cavalry that rushed over.
Youdai's Ming cavalry had finished shooting the three-eyed gun ammunition. Seeing that the female real white flag's most elite cavalry escorted a young man with white helmets and white armor to break through. The lightning rod on the young man's head was particularly high. The Ming army knew that the person must be an important figure of the Jurchens. Judging from the banner, it was probably Dorgon! So Youdai shouted: "My sons, follow me! Kill the captive chief Dorgon!"
"Kill slaves!" The three thousand Ming soldiers were very motivated and rushed towards the Jurchen cavalry who they saw on weekdays.
Ashan and Su Bai were like two furious wild boars, rushing in front with white armored soldiers. You Dai rushed up with the Ming army. The cavalry of both sides collided, and only screams were heard. Hundreds of cavalry on both sides were dropped, and the Ming army seemed to suffer greater losses.
During the hedge between the two sides, more than 20 white-armored soldiers screamed and fell off the horse. Although the white-armored soldiers were wearing three layers of heavy armor, the Ming army waved the three-eyed gun and hit them with their horsepower. The three-layered heavy armor could not save the lives of the white-armored soldiers. Dorgon saw more than 20 white-armored soldiers with his own eyes and his mouth twitched with pain.
The Ming army, which was usually cowardly, has now been fully stimulated and is very brave. The cavalry collided just now, and the Ming army lost nearly 20% of the time, but still rushed towards the Jin army without hesitation. If it were in the past, the Ming army would have lost 20% and would have collapsed.
On the snow, the bodies of the Jin army in white armor and the bodies of the Ming army in red armor were stacked, and casualties were everywhere.
You Dai collided with Su Bai's weapon just now, and his opponent's tiger spear stabbed him. You Dai blocked it and felt his whole arm numb and his mouth was cracked. Fortunately, he rode his horse and did not slow down to take the Later Jin general, otherwise he would probably be killed by the Later Jin general in three to five rounds.
Ashan held a tiger spear and rushed forward with a Ming cavalry waving a three-eyed gun. Ashan gently pushed the tiger spear away, and then with the help of horsepower, the tiger spear was sent to the Ming army's throat. Only the sound of sharp weapons entering the flesh was heard. The tiger spear pierced from the Ming army's throat and penetrated from behind with scarlet blood drippings.
Ashan picked up the bodies of the Ming cavalry and threw them on the ground. Then he continued to rush forward. The Ming army rushing towards him had no strength in front of him, and he was stabbed to death.
Gushan Ezhen Kak Duli, who took the initiative to stay behind, led more than 400 Later Jin troops to carry Li Lao Er's 700 elite cavalry to the rush. The cavalry of both sides collided. Before the collision, Li Lao Er's cavalry lit the three-eyed gun, and the deafening sound of the gun sounded. In the smoke of guns, the Jin soldiers fell from the horse's back like empty sacks.
Li Laoer's Zhaoye Yu lion galloped past Kake Duli, stabbed him with a horse spear in his hand, but Kake Duli raised his tiger spear to block it. The two weapons collided, and Li Laoer felt that his arms were slightly numb. Fortunately, the flexible spear rod removed most of Kake Duli's strength, otherwise the tiger's mouth would have shattered.
