Autumn of the 17th year of Chongzhen

Chapter 1393

From the start of the battle at Chenshi to the second quarter of Shenshi, the battle has lasted for more than half a day. The soldiers of Ming and Jin were a little tired, but the Ming army broke through the southern line, and the cavalry rushed to Lintong first, and rescued the trapped Ming army in Lintong. It completely established the victory of the entire battle, completely changed the balance of troops between Ming and Jin, and made the war appear one-sided.

After breaking out of the siege, the Ming army in Lintong immediately came out of the cage like a caged beast, fiercely slashing and killing the defeated soldiers outside the city, venting their grievances, the horse army chased the defeated army, and appeared behind the Jin army, letting the Jin army who had been fighting hard for a day The army collapsed completely.

On the battlefield, the trumpets and drums of the Ming army shook the ground in Guanzhong, and the soldiers of the Ming army were encouraged, and their morale was high, and they launched a wave of attacks against the Jin army.

Seeing that the army was under attack from both sides, Hauge was so anxious that his eyes turned red and he roared again and again.He never thought that he would lose like this.

At this time, he didn't realize his mistakes in command. Seeing the Ming army in Lintong rushing out, he knew that the southern line was broken. He just thought that Wu Sangui's warlord's nature would not change, and he was unwilling to work hard, so that the Ming army broke the southern line.

In fact, he didn't listen to Li Benshen's opinion, and he wanted Wu Sangui to contribute a little bit, and use the hands of the Ming army to weaken Wu Sangui's strength. After all, he is the king of Shu, and his military strength is too strong.

At this time, before the rout soldiers hit the rear formation of the Jin army, the entire Jin army began to retreat. Tens of thousands of soldiers and horses scattered and fled in all directions, turning into a mess.

The defeat was certain, the Jin army was unwilling to fight, and the morale of the army was shaken, but the morale of the Ming army was high, and they rushed forward quickly. They gritted their teeth and supported the Jin army for several hours. After the front line collapsed, they were immediately massacred by the Ming army.

Hauge stood in the midst of countless chaotic troops, and the soldiers of the Golden Army scattered and fled around him. He couldn't help but feel a little dull, his mind went blank, and he murmured, "Why is this happening? Why? Why?"

Tens of thousands of Jin troops, including Hauge's Royal Forest Army, were fleeing. They were not the elite of the Jin Kingdom, but ordinary people who wanted to survive.

It's not that Hauge never thought of failure. He adopted Yu Yin's suggestion, which actually left him a way out, but he never thought of losing so thoroughly.He felt that even if he couldn't win this battle, he could still take advantage of the horse army and slowly retreat to Yongliang, but now that the back road has been copied, only God knows how many troops can be withdrawn.

At this time, the Ming army attacked from the east and the west, and the Jin army could only flee in two directions, the north and the south. Those who fled were blocked by the Weishui River.

The Ma Jun who rushed out of Lintong vented his anger and pursued the defeated army mercilessly.Hauge's [-] elite Imperial Forest Army collapsed suddenly.

"Your Majesty, let's go!" The golden general Wang Jinbao brought a horse and saw Hauge in the chaos army, looking around blankly, he couldn't help but said anxiously.

Hauge didn't respond. After losing the elite, especially if the Imperial Forest Army couldn't take them out, even if he escaped, would he still be the emperor of Dajin?

Wang Jinbao and the other generals saw the chaos around them, and from time to time some rebels were shot to death. The Ming army and horse troops in the west were about to arrive, and immediately said anxiously: "Your Majesty, if you keep the green hills, you are not afraid of running out of firewood. Prime Minister Yu is in Yongliang. King Anxi is in the Western Regions, and my Dajin is not yet dead. It is better to withdraw to the west than to fall into the hands of the king's thief."

"Is it better to withdraw to the west than to fall into the hands of the king thief?" Hauge murmured, his body shook suddenly, and his head woke up instantly.

There was a flash of anger on his face, and he thought to himself, "Even if I hang myself from a tree, I won't be insulted by the king's thief."

At that moment, Hauge got on his horse with the help of his guards, Wang Jinbao, Ye Bilong and other Manchu and Han generals protected him and hurried to the north.

……

On the northern front, with Tang Tong joining the battlefield, Zhang Mingzhen's pressure increased greatly. At the third quarter of the battle, Meng Qiaofang's horse army found an opportunity to attack again, and finally pierced the left wing of the Ming army.

The entire northern line of the Ming army showed a tendency to collapse, and the left wing was the first to disintegrate and spread to the center.

In less than a quarter of an hour, the Ming army's northern line was bound to be defeated. Meng Qiaofang was confident that he would defeat Zhang Mingzhen before dusk, and then coerce the defeated army to sweep towards Wang Yan's central army.

Meng Qiaofang had already moved the Chinese army forward to Xinfeng Town. He was stationed under the banner of Dazhu on horseback and was observing the battlefield with binoculars.

In the circular field of vision, the Ming army on the left was retreating in a panic, and the cavalry of the Jin army was sweeping along the front line from the left to the middle. It can be said that the enemy is about to be defeated.

Suddenly, the smile on Meng Qiaofang's face froze, she put down the binoculars in her hand, and looked to the south in astonishment, only to see yellow dust billowing in the distance, and the sound of killing filled the sky.

Meng Qiaofang couldn't believe it and picked up the binoculars to look at it. His hands trembled a little. In his field of vision, the Ming army came all over the mountains and plains to the north.The cavalry galloped in front, and the banners behind them covered the sun, buzzing and shouting to kill, fearing that tens of thousands of horses would come.

"Not good! My lord, the Ming thief has reinforcements!" A general next to him noticed the situation, raised his finger and let out an exclamation.

Almost at the same time, two fast horses galloped to the outside of Xinfeng Town. The cavalry on top got off their horses in a hurry, and scrambled to Meng Qiaofang, reporting in horror, "My lord, the west side is defeated. The brigade of the Ming army is heading towards the pontoon bridge."

"What?" Meng Qiaofang was so frightened that she lost her soul and dropped the binoculars to the ground, her face turned pale.

"My lord, there is a large group of Ming troops in the west of Dufu ditch. They are wading across the ditch and are about to attack the pontoon bridge."

Many golden generals turned pale with shock, and suddenly there was an uproar, and they asked in one voice: "My lord, what should we do, what should we do?"

Although I don't know the specific situation in the west, but seeing the Ming army reinforcements coming from the south, and the Ming army in the west trying to cut off his retreat, Meng Qiaofang knew that it was over, it was all over.

The generals looked at him in panic, Meng Qiaofang's face was livid, and she suddenly said angrily, "Look at what this king is doing, if you don't take back your troops, run quickly."

The generals of the Jin Army were taken aback for a moment, then reacted, and immediately said: "The last general will call Jin to withdraw."

"What's the call? The two armies are fighting together. Once you call for gold, how can I withdraw?" Meng Qiaofang vented her anger on the general and shouted angrily: "How much can you take now? How much, retreat first, and wait for the king to go away. After Mingjin, how many people can cross the pontoon bridge in the future depends on good fortune."

There are only three pontoon bridges on the Weishui River, and the Ming army has already appeared in the direction of Dufugou, so the pontoon bridge to the north of Dufugou cannot be used. Now only the pontoon bridges to the north of Xinfeng Town and Lingkou Town can go, and the Jin army plus Tangtong There were nearly 8 troops. Meng Qiaofang's scalp became numb when she thought of this, and the scene of tens of thousands of soldiers and horses congested and fleeing north appeared in her mind.

After finishing speaking, he pulled the rein of the horse and was about to go north. The general next to him couldn't help asking: "My lord, don't you want to inform Tang Tong?"

Meng Qiaofang beat the horse and walked north, while pondering: "No need to notify, let him bear it, it will take time for the king to withdraw his troops!" Meng Qiaofang felt that it seemed a little unkind, and added: "Always need someone to sacrifice, Dajin The soldiers of the country will remember his contribution..."

······
Ever since Li Zicheng occupied the entire territory of Shaanxi in January of the Jiashen year and proclaimed himself emperor, the entire Ming Dynasty fell apart, and the world was in turmoil and fell into division.

Almost 15 years have passed since the world was divided without realizing it, but today, in the birthplace of Chinese civilization, Wang Yan defeated the last armed separatist regime in Han, washed away the shame of the Ming Dynasty, and stood upright again The backbone of the Ming Dynasty realized the great unification of the Ming Dynasty.

Under the protection of the guards, Wang Yan looked around the battlefield and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.This battle has been fought for almost a year, and it is finally won.

At this time, a group of cavalry came galloping from a distance, but it was Wang Shixiu who came out of Lintong. The country has entrusted me with great trust, and I am here to plead guilty!"

Hearing this, Wang Yan dismounted from his horse, helped him up, but said with a smile: "A country is not always strong, and its generals are not always victorious. Soldiers who have been killed for a long time are much more valuable than supplies. As long as the people are safe and the soldiers and horses are still there, the lonely king will only spend some time." It's just a matter of effort, it doesn't matter, and it doesn't get in the way, just act cautiously in the future, then you can..."
