Chapter 449

    The galloping momentum of ten thousand horses is enough to make anyone feel cold and afraid. The rumbling sound of horses'' hoofs has already overwhelmed the shouting and killing sound from the battlefield.


    Seeing that the other cavalry finally rushed down from the hillside, Niu Er didn''t dare to delay. At the command, the two 10000 troops killed again.


    Huang Taiji was also unambiguous. With a wave of his hand, the remaining 10000 Mongolian cavalry immediately rushed to the 20000 people.


    Obviously, the infantry didn''t move, and Huang Taiji didn''t dare to let the cavalry rush to kill. After all, the number of the other party was too large, and it didn''t look like a mob. Once the cavalry couldn''t pierce the infantry formation and fell into the quagmire of the infantry, they would face the dilemma of being slaughtered by the infantry.


    Niu Er stayed with Qin Huan for a while, but learned a little. He knew that infantry had no vitality to cavalry except to hold together, so he mobilized four ten thousand troops again and killed them from the left and right wings.


    So far, Niu Er has sent out a full 110000 people, leaving only about 100000 people in his hands, including 5000 cavalry and 5000 archers.


    Huang Taiji''s troops and horses are only the real elite of the eight banners, with a total of seven banners and more than 35000 people.


    At the moment, both of them were nervously watching the changes on the battlefield. After the first 10000 Mongolian cavalry rushed into the battlefield, the infantry of both sides who were fighting fell in pieces.


    Although there are also traitors, most of them are the Wu army. The rush of cavalry is fleeting. The Wu army who is killing has no reaction time and even has no time to escape.


    At this time, the 20000 Wu troops who had just rushed into the battlefield were also killed. Because the cavalry rushed into the battlefield more and more slowly, some even couldn''t move. This made the 20000 Wu troops who had just rushed into the battlefield stab with their long guns, which also caused a lot of damage to the cavalry.


    But immediately, it was submerged by another 10000 Mongolian cavalry who rushed up, and then 40000 Wu troops were killed, making the whole battlefield completely chaotic.


    Some brave men attacked the cavalry in twos and threes, but more ran around like headless flies, screaming and at a loss, because there were people everywhere, horses running everywhere, and bodies falling to the ground.


    Twenty thousand Mongolian cavalry tried their best to get rid of the entanglement of infantry. However, there are too many infantry. Even if they are like headless flies, they often make war horses lose their feet.


    All the Mongolian nobles on the hillside were bleeding. Although they knew that Huang Taiji was using them as cannon fodder, they were frightened by the obscene power of the eight banners and dared not say anything.


    "Wu Aiqing, the war has fallen into anxiety. At least 100000 troops of the other party have not been dispatched. My eight banners elite can''t move for the time being."


    "The end will understand, so he will lead his cavalry to attack!"


    Wu Sangui''s face twitched, but he had to harden his head.


    Huang Taiji nodded with satisfaction.


    Before long, Wu Sangui led five thousand guanning cavalry to rush up. Although there were only five thousand cavalry, it played a huge role.


    Because the five thousand cavalry always ran along the periphery. Although most of the peripheral Wu army were playing soy sauce, it played a huge role. Now the killed scattered and fled, resulting in the spread and escape of the whole army, which made the 20000 Mongolian cavalry inside have more and more room to move.


    "Damn it!"


    Niu Er saw that the 100000 troops cast in had begun to collapse completely and was about to be slaughtered. He was angry and anxious, but the battlefield had expanded beyond his control.


    In this case, it will not help to send another 20000 or 30000 troops. Unless all 100000 troops are pressed up, there are more than 30000 cavalry eyeing each other.


    Moreover, the battlefield has expanded, and it will take at least half an hour for 100000 infantry to detour from three sides and save the defeat, but the other party''s cavalry can attack quickly and break them one by one.


    This is the advantage of cavalry.


    In the face of this situation, Niu Er''s command level is not enough, and his command means are also not enough. He is completely confused. I don''t know what to do.


    If you press them all, you may be defeated by the other party. If you don''t, you can only watch the 100000 troops thrown in be slaughtered by cavalry.


    Niu Er''s clenched fist was loosened and pinched, pinched and loosened. In this way, he missed the best rescue time, and finally had to reluctantly announce the withdrawal of troops and return to the camp.


    Because at this time, the collapsed 100000 troops were all over the mountains and fields. Except for a few people who knew to escape like a camp, most people''s minds were full of paste. They only knew that they ran headlong. As a result, the chased cavalry took their heads away with a knife.


    Niu Er''s army is a team lined up by the camp. Now Huang Taiji has no choice but to return to the camp. He sent Dourgen to lead the white flag to test it and only got a small advantage. Therefore, he can only choose to pursue the defeated soldiers first to avoid them sneaking back to the camp at night.


    "Remember to Ben Khan, whoever can catch alive will catch alive. Who dares to kill indiscriminately, Ben Khan will not be spared afterwards!"


    Huang Taiji looked at the Baylor sternly. He knew he was not sterner. I''m afraid he couldn''t catch a prisoner.


    In the future, if the Qing Dynasty wants to unify the Central Plains, it must have a large number of Han soldiers to rush forward. He naturally doesn''t want to miss such a good opportunity.


    What''s more, half of the enemy''s troops have retreated into the camp. If all the routed troops are slaughtered today, it may be unfavorable to the next war.


    "It''s sweat!" Although Baylor was reluctant to kill him, they did not dare to disobey Huang Taiji''s orders.


    Obviously, after years of processing, Huang Taiji''s brothers and nephews have long been taught by him not to say a word of No. even the three brothers Dourgen hold their tails tightly for fear of being caught.


    More than 30000 eight banners were elite. All the others were killed except the yellow flag to stay and continue to protect Huang Taiji.


    The pursuit battle lasted from the afternoon until dark. Of the 110000 Wu troops who fought, less than 20000 successfully returned to the camp.


    Another 40000 people were captured by Hou Jin, while the remaining 50000 people became cold corpses. Most of them had incomplete limbs and died miserably.


    Although Jin also lost a lot, the real eight banners were almost negligible. 50000 Han soldiers and servants joined the army, nearly 20000 people were lost, 20000 Mongolian cavalry lost more than 5000 horses, and 5000 guanning iron cavalry only lost 500 or 600 horses.


    The whole battlefield was littered with corpses and scattered weapons. It took 40000 prisoners three days to clean up the battlefield completely.


    In the past three days, Niu Er, with the remaining 100000 troops, did not dare to fight again despite the provocation of Hou Jin.


    Niu Er also knew that it was impossible to defeat Hou Jin by relying on the 100000 troops alone. Whether retreating or sticking to the camp, it was a dead end, so he had to transfer the last 100000 troops left in the capital to fight to the death.


    If Shandong and Xuzhou were not too far away from here, he would like to transfer the troops to stay there. The two places add up to almost 100000 troops.
