Han’s Son is Not a Slave

Neither side had confidence in each other, and both were afraid of each other, but neither side could retreat, so the battle continued. The battle was the same as before. The recruits from both Ming and Qing Dynasties, who were also strong men, rushed to kill under the supervision of the veterans behind.

Dong Xueli stood on the horse and watched the battle on the front line nervously. He saw that when the soldiers in front of the Ming army were beheaded, the Ming army behind did not hesitate to stop like before, and then turned around and ran wildly, but still rushed desperately. Come up and fight with the Qing army.

Dong Xueli was a little surprised, how the morale of the Ming army could always be kept high. But soon, Dong Xueli discovered that the Ming army who rushed up were not new recruits, but old soldiers. Their quick killing tactics are very similar to those of their own soldiers.

Hao Yaoqi made a desperate gamble and escorted his own guards and the remaining veterans to either defeat the Qing army in one fell swoop, or let the Qing army not dare to surround him like this. Ta Tianbao was a little hesitant, because although this style of play can achieve good results, after all, the number of veterans is too small. Once the Qing army recovers and organizes a counterattack, the cost of casualties for the veterans will be high, and the battle situation is not theirs. can be controlled. What the final result of the battle will be, no one knows.

The counterattack organized by the veterans of the Ming Army quickly hit the Qing army in person, and many Qing soldiers began to flinch, and even slowly moved backwards. As for the Ming army, because of the bravery of the veterans, those shaken recruits also regained their morale and rushed towards the Qing army following the veterans.

When the front-line soldiers and horses were pushed back step by step by the Ming army, Dong Xueli sent his personal guards to supervise the battle and used knives to force the recruits to move forward, barely maintaining the formation and morale. Many generals came to ask the Admiral whether to withdraw the troops first, and then fight for a while. However, Dong Xueli gritted his teeth and refused to allow it, and those who dared to retreat without authorization would not be spared. At this time, although the Qing army was difficult, as a veteran, Dong Xueli knew that the Ming army must also be very difficult, and even gritted his teeth, so the victory ultimately belongs to the one who can grit his teeth and persevere to the end. Time is also a friend of Dong Xueli. As time goes on, the Ming army's buoyant style will eventually become discouraged.

Just as Hao Yaoqi and Dong Xueli were both gritting their teeth and insisting, a cavalry of about a thousand people came out from the west of Caikou Town. The leading knight was holding a "He" flag. The commander is He Zhen.

"His grandma's, it's finally too late. Hao Yaoqi and Ta Tianbao are not ashamed for us to enter the camp! Brothers, kill with me!"

He Zhen swung the big sword and rushed towards the Qing army first, but not at the Qing soldiers who were killing with Hao Yaoqi and the others, but went straight to the Qing army's flag.

The sudden appearance of the Ming army cavalry made the Qing army unprepared. Thousands of Ming army cavalry were like a sharp knife straight into the vital point of the Qing army, causing the Qing army to lie in front of the corpse. The sudden silence of the drums made the Qing soldiers who were still fighting with the Ming army on the front line look back, wondering what was going on in the rear. The number of people exceeds a thousand, and the black pressure is full of heads. The number of people exceeded ten thousand, and it was even more densely packed, and the number could not be counted. Tens of thousands of horses were fighting, and what happened in the rear, the Qing troops in front had no way of knowing.

A dozen or so cavalrymen of the Qing army were just like the cavalry of the Ming army. They found so many cavalrymen of the Ming army rushing towards them. The cavalry of the Qing army who sent the order was so frightened that they quickly pulled their horses and turned around, trying to stay away from the cavalry of the Ming army. But in the blink of an eye, the Ming army cavalry had already rushed in front of them, and before the Qing army messengers had drawn their weapons, they slashed at them with their knives.

He Zhen roared loudly, the saber fell, and a Qing army soldier's head was separated. The cavalry of the Ming army whistled past the headless corpse, but the corpse seemed to be stuck to the horse's back, and it never fell.

More than a dozen Qing army messengers were swept into the array by the Ming army. After the hoofs were gone, there were more than ten horses without owners on the field. On the ground, there were about a dozen corpses lying down, most of which were trampled by horses. A Qing soldier died like a hanged ghost, his tongue sticking out long, and the blood from his throat dripped down the mud like a line along the long tongue.

"Enemy attack, enemy attack!"

It was not until the Ming army cavalry rushed to more than a hundred paces from the Qing army's flag that Dong Xueli's personal soldiers under his command responded, shouting a warning, and at the same time drawing a knife to prepare to resist. Dong Xueli was also taken aback, waving his sword and shouting to lead Zuo to block the cavalry of the Ming army. The Qing army flag bearer who was guarding the general flag was a tall man, and at this moment he also turned around and stared at the Ming army cavalry charging in the distance. The vibration of the horse's hoof made the flag bearer feel that his legs were shaking, but he hugged the flagpole tightly and carried out his mission without moving.

The Ming army rushed over quickly, and most of the Qing army, who had no time to organize an effective defense line in the rush, was swept away. The flag-bearer of the Qing army who guarded the flag did not know whether he was terrified or the art master was bold, but he still did not run. He held the flagpole with his left arm, and hurriedly touched the saber at his waist with his right hand. But before he could touch the handle of the sword, the rushing Ming army cavalry had turned the saber in his hand into a cold light and slashed at his head.

The saber fell straight down, and at the same time as the flag-protecting soldier fell, the Ming cavalry cut the flag with one knife, and the tip of the knife picked up the fallen flag and ran wildly with laughter. Behind him, only a group of stunned Qing soldiers remained.

"Failed, defeated!"

The Qing soldiers who witnessed the flag being chopped down subconsciously shouted and fled, and Dong Xueli also ran northward under the **** of his own soldiers. The movement from the back quickly spread to the front, causing the Qing soldiers who were struggling under the attack of the Ming army to collapse in an instant. They threw down their weapons and made the same cry of defeat, either kneeling on the spot to surrender, or letting go run wild. The collapse spread like a virus, infecting every Qing soldier who heard the news. Some unbelieving Qing army generals looked towards the rear formation, and sure enough, the general flag was gone. Instead, the soldiers in the rear formation were running wild.

Lost, definitely lost!

Don't think about it, the Qing army generals in front also knew that something must have happened later. They ran away without any hesitation~www.wuxiaspot.com~ He Zhen didn't care about the Qing soldiers who escaped, he just wanted to capture Dong Xueli , but Dong Xueli could not be seen. Although the Qing army collapsed, He Zhen did not dare to take it lightly. If Dong Xueli escaped, it would be a threat to the Ming army, because he might try to gather the defeated troops and retreat back to Hanyang. At that time, it would still be troublesome for the Ming army to attack Hanyang. Unfortunately, He Zhen took her people around the battlefield twice, captured a few prisoners for questioning, and failed to find out the whereabouts of Dong Xueli.

Dong Xueli escaped, and after discovering that the Ming cavalry was attacking, Dong Xueli ran north. In order to escape, Dong Xueli lost all his armor and swords, making him look like an ordinary defeated soldier. When he got to a safe place, he had nothing but a dagger on his body.

After escaping the danger, Dong Xueli did not return to Hanyang City, nor did he go to meet the governor Zhang Changgeng, but asked a general who escaped to meet Zhang Changgeng and report the defeat.

Dong Xueli didn't dare to see Zhang Changgeng, because he was worried that the news of the defeat would make the newly appointed governor lose his mind and sacrifice his head to the flag, so he decided to avoid the limelight outside, so as not to be a bad luck. In order to convince the Governor-General that he was not fleeing in fear of crime, Dong Xueli asked the ministry to report to the Governor-General that he was gathering the troops outside and planned to fight with Hao Yaoqi and them.
