Autumn of the 17th year of Chongzhen

Chapter 425 Sharp turn down
At this time, in the Qing camp, there are only 2000 green camp soldiers guarding the village, and [-] Qing cavalry at the north gate. The [-] green camp soldiers are divided equally among the four sides of the camp. There are only more than [-] people in each direction, and they cannot block the east Zhang Wenxiu came from the roll.

Seeing the panic inside the Qing camp, Zhang Dingguo shook his head slightly after listening to the general's words, "The victory is certain, and it's just icing on the cake to kill Gu at this time."

The general Zhang Sheng was puzzled and said: "All the armies are fighting to the death, but His Highness is the only one who refuses to make a move. I am afraid that the last general will blame His Highness for Long Live."

"We won the Jitou Pass today, as long as we block Haoge's escape route to the north, it will be a great achievement." Zhang Dingguo scanned the battlefield sharply, paused for a moment, and then said: "Furthermore, the former sentry said that the Qing army Killed the horses and ran out of food, but Hauge’s cavalry did not decrease. Secondly, Hauge wanted to retreat to the pass, why did he set up a camp outside Jitou Pass and captured Jitou Pass alone? Cut off his escape route to the north, but the Qing soldiers were not in a hurry, and I was very puzzled. Right now, I have sent out all the best troops from Daxi, and all the troops and the Qing soldiers strangled a regiment. If I stay here alone, I can leave a group of troops , to prevent sudden changes in the battle situation.”

Zhang Sheng's face changed, "Your Highness means that Hauge intends to lead our army to a decisive battle? Could it be~"

Zhang Dingguo waved his hand and said, "It's just a solitary guess. You just need to keep your spirits up!" At this time, as Zhang Dingguo expected, the Qing army's eastern front and the two thousand green battalions guarding the village could not stop the rout at all. Wrapped by the rout soldiers and fleeing into the camp, Zhang Wenxiu's western army crashed directly into the Qing camp.

Seeing this, Hauge's liver and gallbladder were torn apart, and he didn't care about Zhang Dingguo in the north, so he had to tear down the east wall to make up for the west wall, and dropped the five thousand Qing cavalry at the north gate to stabilize the east line.

But in the Qing camp, it is not conducive to the Qing cavalry movement, which is tantamount to using cavalry as infantry.

Looking at the high platform not far away, Zhang Wenxiu couldn't help pointing his gun falsely, and laughed wildly: "Boys, the slave chief is right in front of you, go up and see who dares to compete with Daxi!"?
The Western Army collided fiercely with Qingqi. Qingqi had no room to turn around in the camp, so he could only hold on. Hauge gritted his teeth and shouted: "The warriors of the Eight Banners are fighting for my king~"

At this time, outside the western front, the Qing cavalry who came out from the bows and crossbows of the Western Army were also encountering two thousand dragons. The mighty general of the Western Army Wang Shangli roared, "Kill".

The two thousand western army ignited the medicine line, and a puff of gunpowder smoke was released from the cavalry formation. To Longxiang.The horseshoes trampled the ground, splashing pieces of dust, and the cavalry slammed into each other with desperate courage. The shocking impact of the horses gathered into a torrent that almost shook the entire Hanzhong Basin.A piece of gunpowder smoke filled the air, accompanied by a deafening sound, and the dense lead bullets, with the thrust of the gunpowder explosion, sprinkled on the Qing cavalry like splashing water, immediately causing the cavalry rushing in front to fall off their horses, but the Longchamp cavalry had not had time to rejoice for a moment , the two armies have already collided.

The spear pierced, the sword slashed, the three-eyed blunderbuss smashed randomly, two torrents of steel collided fiercely, there were screams, horses neighed, blood blossomed, and countless knights fell from their horses. The battle was extremely tragic.

Wang Shangli rushed into the enemy's formation, cut down four people one after another, and let out waves of roars.At this time, the two armies came out through the formation, and the knight looked back behind him. The place he passed was covered with fallen dead bodies and mournful war horses.

"Not good~" Xing Na, who also came out through the formation, let out an exclamation. He fought with the cavalry of the Western Army and had to give up attacking the crossbowmen of the Western Army. Not enough to disrupt all the bows and crossbows of the Western Army.

A part of the bows and crossbows of the Western Army continued to throw arrows at Meng Qiaofang, and the Western Army Sword Shield and Pikemen, who were supported, immediately knocked back the Green Battalion soldiers.

Seeing this, Meng Qiaofang was very anxious, and couldn't help but look back to see if Hauge still had troops to reinforce him, but when she saw that it was all right, her face turned pale with shock, the eastern and western troops had entered the camp, and the camp was in chaos.

"My lord governor, I can't stand it any longer. Please leave as soon as possible~" At this time, as the Green Battalion retreated steadily, Meng Qiaofang's position had reached the front line where the two armies met, and the Western Army was about to push over.The personal guards guarding him left and right, while poking away the incoming arrows with their knives, while protecting Meng Qiaofang with their shields, they picked him up involuntarily and dragged him away.

Meng Qiaofang didn't stop him, because he knew that if he didn't leave, he would have to sacrifice his life for the holy pilgrimage, but once he withdrew, the Western Front would completely collapse.

Almost at the same time, the general of the Qing army on the high platform exclaimed in surprise: "My lord, the western front has been defeated~"

Hauge was terrified. Looking back, the [-] Western Army infantry in the west, chasing and killing [-] green battalions, had already reached the front of the camp.

"My lord, please count your slaves for being rude." Now that the Qing camp has become a mess, if the Western Army from the west enters the camp again, Hauge will be flanked.Seeing that if he didn't leave, he would be made dumplings by the Western Army. A general saluted and waved to the guards on the high platform. The crowd surrounded Hauge and prepared to evacuate from the high platform.

In fact, as long as Hauge doesn't want to leave, there is nothing the guard can do. The action of the guard is just to find a step for Hauge to step down. Hauge is unwilling to look at the east, with a trace of despair on his face, allowing the guards to lift him off the high platform .

The chaos of the Qing battalion and the defeat on the east and west lines made the Qing knights on the outside line exhausted. Before Hauge left the high platform, he issued an order for all the ministries to break through on their own, which heralded the failure of the Qing army's battle.

Under the protection of more than a thousand cavalry, Hauge hurried out from the south gate. In the south of the Qinling Mountains, the cheers of the Western Army were surging.

The Western Army defeated Hauge's main force in one fell swoop, and won the first major victory since Dechuan Anti-Qing Dynasty, ending the fierce battle that lasted for half a year.

The infantry of the Western Army rushed into the Qing camp with shouts, and each department launched a merciless pursuit of the fleeing enemy.

Standing on the watch cart, Zhang Xianzhong laughed wantonly, and on his majestic face, he yelled a roar that could shake Qinling: "Send the order, and the whole army pursues." Like the green battalion soldiers, they lost their courage and just fled in a hurry.

Several western armies were imposing like a rainbow, with infantry advancing like a wall, stabbing the enemy cavalry to death with long spears, cutting off the heads with broadswords, archers and crossbowmen recklessly shot and killed the remnants of the enemy, chasing and killing the defeated soldiers all the way.

But at this moment, a horn sounded from the sky in the east, and the earth trembled following the sound of the horn.

On the Qinling Mountains in the distance, snow fell from the top of the mountain, and a black line suddenly appeared in the sky. It was cavalry, a cavalry with tens of thousands of people.At the foot of the Qinling Mountains, on the east side of the battlefield, a large and capable cavalry galloped out, charging towards the battlefield like a huge wave.

The galloping momentum of tens of thousands of horses drowned out all the noises on the battlefield, and the soldiers of the Western Army stood up in shock.

Seeing this, Zhang Xianzhong's face changed greatly. At this time, more than [-] soldiers of the Western Army were busy chasing and killing the defeated Qing soldiers.

The Qing cavalry that suddenly appeared, with a total of about 4 people, came all over the mountains and plains, and the Western Army could not resist it at all, and could only be driven and defeated by the Qing cavalry.

Thinking of the consequences, Zhang Xianzhong's majestic face suddenly changed, and at this moment, the northern formation of the Western Army, which had not moved all this time, suddenly moved to the east.

"Dingguo!" Zhang Xianzhong exclaimed, and immediately reacted, but he did not mobilize troops to meet the enemy, but said decisively: "Withdraw~"

(Thank you for coming to give me a smile, Yue Dong's core, and the reward of the battle.) ????
