Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 255 Pursuing the Azig Department
Ashan's [-] armored soldiers are the elite of the Qing army, and the white armored soldiers among them are so-called warriors who have been killed from the mountains of swords and blood, which is what the Manchus call Baya.

The reason why Ba Yala is strong is that he is proficient in bow and horse, wears heavy arrows, and is not afraid of death. At this moment, even in front of the cavalry of the guards who are several times their size, he does not change his expression, and charges forward with his horse.

Of course, before that, the reason why Ba Yala was so evil that he seemed to be invulnerable to swords and guns was not only because of Ba Yala's own bravery, but more because of the fact that the Ming army in Liaodi was scared out of their wits.

Today's guard cavalry have just experienced a great victory, and their morale is high, and these guard officers and soldiers are no longer lowly military households, but many gentry children who are determined to kill captives and make meritorious deeds. He is not timid in front of the heavily armored soldiers.

What's more, Liu Fangliang, the head coach, was not afraid of the armored soldiers of the Qing army. A long spear collided with Ah Shan's hammer, and the collision caused fierce sparks.

The rest of the officers and soldiers are naturally no longer docile lambs.

Liu Fangliang, who had a leopard head and eyes around him, stared angrily, and recklessly shot A Shan's neck again, while A Shan jumped on his horse and smashed Liu Fangliang's head with a [-]-jin hammer in his hand.

Liu Fangliang dodged sideways, and the spear in his hand collided with Ah Shan's hammer again. Both of them were shocked, their mouths were numb, and they galloped past. Liu Fangliang shot straight into the chest of a red armored soldier.

At the same time, Liu Fangliang ordered Ma Wannian, the commander of the First Cavalry Battalion, to entangle Ashan's troops.

And he himself took five thousand cavalry to chase Azig's main force.

It stands to reason that it is not wise to lead [-] iron cavalry to chase more than [-] Manchurian iron cavalry in Azig, but at this time, Liu Fangliang, who only cared about inflicting the greatest damage on the Qing army, had completely ignored the gains and losses in it, and continued to chase bravely. Come.

Ma Wannian is the eldest grandson of Qin Liangyu. After the gate, his father Ma Xianglin is good at riding alone. As the eldest son of Ma Xianglin, he is not inferior to his father. He is dressed in silver armor, with a white horse on his back, turning his head towards Ashan and killing him. .

Ma Wannian took [-] cavalry under his command to take turns to battle, and each team of ten cavalry besieged one of the enemy's cavalry. Many cavalry of the Guards even went straight to collide with the armored soldiers of the Qing army under A Shan with their horses' heads.

The Qing army under Ashan did not expect that the cavalry of the Ming army would become so brave.

Although a white-armored soldier bravely hacked three cavalrymen of the guards, he was cut into pieces by the seven guards behind him. Under the huge inertia, the blood splashed several feet away and splashed on Ah Shan's face.

Ah Shan let out a roar and continued to charge, while Ma Wannian stabbed vigorously with a white spear, directly piercing Ah Shan's heavy armor and piercing into his chest, and Ah Shan shot out a mouthful of blood on the spot.

At the same time, more than ten white armor soldiers were also killed one after another.

After an unknown amount of time, there were still more than [-] cavalry on Ma Wannian's side, while the armored soldiers of the Qing army on the opposite side had only about a hundred or so left.

"kill!"

Ma Wannian rode his horse again and rushed forward with the cavalry of the guards. Under this hot weather, most of the officers and soldiers of the guards from Huaiyang area did not lose their fighting spirit because of the hot afternoon.

On the contrary, most of these Manchurian iron cavalry of the Qing army from outside the pass were gradually exhausted due to the sweltering heat in the afternoon.

Suksaha, originally the auxiliary minister of the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty in history, is just a strong man at this time.

Now, because of the sultry weather, his obese body gradually became a little tight in the chest and short of breath.

On the contrary, although Mao Jukui, who came across from him, was a thin scholar, he didn't feel short of breath at this time. The humid and hot afternoon had no effect on a southerner like him, and he still came to kill. Even because of the improvement of riding skills, he drew the hard bow within fifty steps, and directly pierced Sukesaha's chest with an arrow.

However, when Suksaha slashed at Mao Jukui, he was weak and weak, but made the dexterous Mao Jukui slash his waist again.

Some Qing soldiers even fell down directly, and were directly trampled into flesh by the cavalry of the Guards.

In the end, there were only [-] armored soldiers of the Qing army left, and they did not continue to entangle with the cavalry battalion under Ma Wannian, but retreated on horseback and left in a hurry.

Ma Wannian led the rest of the cavalry to chase after him, and galloped towards Dahong Mountain.

……

At that time, Liu Fangliang and a cavalry battalion were also chasing Azig's main force in this direction.

But Azig is not fond of fighting. No matter how big or small the cavalry of the Ming army is chasing from behind, he dare not delay any longer. He knows that he must bring the more than [-] Manchurian cavalry under his command back to the capital in order to keep his younger brother as regent. King's political status.

The scorching sun made Azig sweat profusely at this time, and he couldn't help taking off his heavy armor.

The other cavalry of the Qing army also took off their armor one after another, and many even took off their hats directly on their heads, revealing only the tails of money rats, their oily heads shining in the sun.

What's more, even the clear bow and heavy arrows were thrown to the ground, and only a scimitar was held, and some didn't even hold a knife at all.

The entire Qing cavalry has never retreated in such a panic.

Prince Azig wiped away the sweat flowing into the corners of his eyes, only to feel that his whole body was already hot as if being pricked by needles, even though he had already taken off his coat and exposed his upper body meticulously.

Not only him, but even many Qing soldiers fell off their horses directly due to heat stroke, and were directly trampled into flesh by the horses behind.

There were also these war horses from the north who couldn't stand the heat in the south and fell to the ground, foaming at the mouth, and even the Qing cavalry on the horses were thrown to the ground.

Ao Bai, who was following Azig, also endured the severe pain when sweat flowed into the wound, gritted his teeth and followed the bumps on the horse's back.

……

Liu Fangliang, on the other hand, continued to chase while biting a pear. When he took a piss, he sprinkled directly in his crotch, and it flowed hot on the horse's back, but he still ran without stopping.

Many gentlemen in the past are also used to this unhygienic way, or they have forgotten to pay attention to this now, galloping on the hot sun-baked land, no one can tell the difference between sweat and urine .

Seeing the Qing army falling to the ground, the guards rode up and chopped off his head with a single knife.

……

Azig can't control the military capacity of the army at this time, he only wants to quickly retreat back to the north of Xiangyang.

"Proceed with the order, continue to speed up the horse, and wait until the Dahong Mountain in front of you before dismounting and resting, without delay." Azig roared, pursed his dry lips, and when he saw a soldier beside him fell off the horse, he immediately jumped over , riding the horse of the soldier, directly stabbed the horse's neck with a knife, then lost his head and sucked the blood from the horse's neck, used the blood as water to quench his thirst, and immediately jumped back to his own horse Keep going.

The rest of the Qing army followed suit.
