Autumn of the 17th year of Chongzhen

Chapter 1392
Outside Lintong County behind the battlefield, corpses of Ming soldiers were scattered everywhere. There were pools of blood on the ground, as if the earth was festering.

Several broken military flags fell on the ground and burned slowly, exuding bursts of black smoke, and the corpses hanging on the horse-rejecting posts were also burning, emitting a disgusting burnt smell.

The city gate at the east gate was wide open, and countless Ming troops who rushed out rushed back into the city through the narrow gate. The Ming army's breakthrough again ended in failure.

On the dilapidated Lintong County, Liu Fangliang and Wang Shixiu stood on a city wall in the east city, overlooking the east.

The rumble of cannons and the faint shouts of killing let them know that the Ming army was fighting fiercely with the Jin army in the west.

They were originally the main force of the Ming army, but now they are trapped in layers of ravines and cannot participate in this battle.

The shouts of killing from the east had been going on all morning. The battle should be extremely fierce, but the Lintong Ming Army, who didn't know how the battle was going, was a little worried.

The gold thief wanted to besiege the city and fight for aid, but he didn't know if Jian Guo had seen through the gold thief's intentions.If the main force were to be plotted by the Jin army and the main force suffered setbacks, what would they do? Everyone couldn't imagine.

"Commander, why don't I charge again." Zhao Shenkuan gritted his teeth after he had just retreated, his face was covered in blood, "We rampage the horse army, we will be heroes in no time, and we can still kill thieves as soon as we get off the horse."

Wang Shixiu looked at the ravine outside the city, where there were piles of corpses, but shook his head.I have rushed twice today, and both ended in failure. The loss of the Ming army is too great.

The Ming army in the city is equipped with too many firearms, which is the advantage of the Ming army. However, in recent years, the Ming army has become more and more dependent on firearms. Once the supply is insufficient, it will become a fatal flaw.

These days, there was no food and grass to kill horses, and gunpowder was gone, but they couldn’t change it. The soldiers could only fight with firecrackers and short knives.

Liu Fangliang couldn't help being a little annoyed, and punched a fist on the wall of the city wall. The faces of many generals were not very good-looking, and they were suffering in their hearts.

"Look, Commander!" Just when everyone was silent, Qin Shangxing pointed at the distance and suddenly exclaimed.

Wang Shixiu and Liu Fangliang looked up and saw a sudden chaos in the direction of the Jin Army's camp behind the ravines and low walls. The sky was filled with yellow dust in the far distance. A group of thousands of cavalry rushed directly into the Jin Army's camp. Tens of thousands of Jin troops and more than [-] elite Jin troops were thrown into chaos.

The soldiers of the Jin army came out of the tent in a hurry when they heard the horseshoes rolling, but the cavalry of the Ming army had pulled down the fence with iron hooks, rushed into the camp roaring, killing anyone they saw, and the camp was in chaos.

In a small camp near the city, there were [-] elite gold soldiers. Sony heard the movement and hurried out of the tent. The army camp behind had been pierced by the Ming army who had suddenly arrived.

Seeing this scene, the Ming soldiers on the top of the city cheered up one by one, their eyes were full of light, and their listless expressions were swept away.

"It's the reinforcements, hahaha, Lao Tan is back~" Zhao Shenkuan rushed to the edge of the city wall and blurted out when he saw a group of horse troops holding the banner of Hengchong, as if they were in a land without people.

This is probably the first time for him to call Tan Tai so affectionately, and before he finished speaking, Liu Fangliang also laughed, "Hahaha~ we are out of trouble today." After speaking, he turned his head to look at Wang Shixiu, and said excitedly, "Daddy Commander, let's go out."

Looking at the excited crowd, Wang Shixiu was very excited inside. He was very worried about the situation of the main force, and now his heart suddenly fell to the ground.

Right now he didn't hesitate anymore, if he didn't seize the last chance, there would be no chance to wash away the humiliation of the Ming army in Lintong City.

Wang Shixiu grabbed the city wall with both hands, and said in a deep voice, "Rush out, this battle must be won."

Sonny hurriedly got out of the tent and stepped on his horse. He didn't expect that the Ming army would come from behind, and the stationed army there was no match for the Ming army's fine cavalry.

Not long after, the entire Jin Army camp outside the east city fell into chaos.

But at this moment, the gate of Lintong City opened, and countless Ming soldiers rushed out again, shouting.

Attacked from inside and outside, Sony was horrified...

On the western front, Hauge took away 3 people, 1 to support Wu Sangui, and 2 to support Meng Qiaofang, leaving him with only 4 people.

At this time, facing Wang Yan's attack, he was a little tired of coping, and the soldiers of the Jin army could only support themselves with constant danger.Hauge went to the front line, commanded and dispatched, and barely supported the defense line.

The battle situation made Hauge feel anxious, and at this moment, there was a strange noise from behind him. Hauge turned his head to look around, and the scene in front of him almost made his eyes pop out, and his whole heart was broken.

Behind the Jin army, the horse army from Lintong drove the defeated Jin army outside the city, and rushed towards the back of the Jin army's main formation like the tide. There was a sound of exclamation.

In an instant, expressions of panic and despair appeared on the faces of the soldiers of the Jin army, and the Ming army appeared behind them, which meant that the Jin army had failed.

Seeing this, Hauge was furious, how could the Ming army in Lintong come out, and why did Wu Sangui run away?Or surrender to the enemy?
In the formation of the Ming army, Li Yuanyin was the first to see the movement of the Jin army's rear formation. He saw an elite cavalry galloping towards the Jin army's retreating troops, rushing towards the back of the Jin army like a huge wave, and was immediately excited. Anxiously said: "Jianguo, look behind the Jin army!"

Wang Yan had already noticed what was happening behind the Jin army. When he saw the Lintong cavalry rushing out, he laughed wildly: "Hahaha~ good! Beat the drum! Assault the entire army of the lonely king!"

Hundred-faced war drums were beating, horns were beeping on the battlefield, and the Ming army roared, and then swept away towards the Jin army...
Back then, when Hauge was fighting for the position of Khan, because of his personality flaws, he had more scruples and missed the position of Khan.

Since then, when he was in charge of the Kingdom of Jin, his vacillating character also caused the Kingdom of Jin to make an important mistake, losing Sichuan and wasting a lot of time that the Kingdom of Jin could develop.

In fact, at the beginning of the Jin Dynasty, occupying vast areas such as Guanzhong, Sichuan, Hanzhong, and Longyou, it was like owning the land of ancient Qin. There is not much difference in strength between him and Jin.

At this time, Ming and Qing were mortal enemies, and Jin was on the side. In fact, they could have both sides and develop silently.

In the first few years, the Kingdom of Jin did sit and watch the battle between the Ming and Qing Dynasties, stabilized the place in Guanzhong, and restored people's livelihood, making the treasury full and the soldiers strong. The Ming Dynasty became bigger, and before the Ming and Qing Dynasties were able to compete, they changed the national policy of the Kingdom of Jin and turned their backs on the alliance to attack the Ming Dynasty, resulting in heavy losses.

In fact, after the Qing Dynasty lost Nanjing and the Ming Dynasty pushed the battle line to the Huaihe River, it was already doomed that the unpopular regime of the Qing Dynasty would perish.

If Hauge can always stick to the covenant, retain the land of Sichuan, advance westward during the Ming and Qing contests, expand national power, and then resolutely carve up the Qing Dynasty with the Ming Dynasty when the Ming army and the Qing army confront each other on the Huaihe River.

With Hauge's identity, and the Manchus in the Kingdom of Jin matchmaking, perhaps Shanxi in the north, Beizhili, and other places outside the pass, all have to wait for the wind to bring gold.In this way, the territory of the Kingdom of Jin will include Sichuan, Hanzhong, Guanzhong, Shanxi, Beizhi, and Guanwai. There is a high probability that it will form the pattern of the Northern and Southern Dynasties.

However, Hauge is the son of Huang Taiji after all. He has an enmity with Dorgon, but he has always had feelings for Qing, but he has never thought about this path, and the decision is not thorough enough.In his subconscious mind, the Ming Dynasty, where the Han nationality is the main body, has always been his subconscious enemy, so he unconsciously sided with the Qing several times.

Of course, even if he chooses this way, he may not be able to succeed.

This time, his vacillating personality once again made Jin Guo lose his last chance.Hauge wanted to stabilize the southern line and leave a retreat for himself, but also wanted to increase troops to the northern line to defeat Wang Yan, but in the end he failed on both sides.
