Good news: Zhu Lian transmigrated, becoming Emperor Chongzhen of the Great Ming, Zhu Youjian.
Bad news: Today is the tenth day of the third month of Chongzhen's seventeenth year, and Li Z...
When they were still more than a hundred steps away from the battlefield, the artillery stopped to secure their artillery.
Everything was ready and the Ming army in front began to retreat.
Luo Keduo thought the Ming army was defeated, and he was overjoyed and said, "Warriors of the Qing Dynasty, the time has come to make achievements. Kill!"
At this time, the Ming army was retreating like the tide.
Under the leadership of Luo Koduo, the Eight Banners soldiers chased the Ming army like mad dogs.
As he was chasing, Luo Keduo suddenly found a dozen black objects on the ground in front of him.
Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a cannon.
Luo Keduo shouted: "It's artillery, stop chasing!"
Just as everyone was pulling the reins of their horses, the cannon fuse was lit.
boom!
More than a dozen artillery pieces fired at the same time.
Large solid bullets and rapid-fire bullets gushed out at the same time.
Luo Keduo was the first to be hit. He was pierced by a shell and died before he could even scream.
The remaining power of the artillery shells caused heavy casualties to the Eight Banners soldiers behind him.
As the artillery fired, Li Dingguo and Li Xianzhong launched a new charge.
The losses of the Eight Banners soldiers at this time were not very great.
But the threat of death from artillery fire made them lose the courage to continue fighting.
Coupled with the death of their main general, they completely lost their fighting spirit.
The Eight Banners soldiers in the back mountain began to flee.
Li Xianzhong and Li Dingguo divided their troops into two groups.
A part of the troops went to pursue the fleeing Eight Banners soldiers to maximize the results of the battle.
The rest blocked the road to the back mountain, preparing to encircle and annihilate the Jiannu on the mountain.
"Report!" The scout came to Man Dahai with blood on his face. "Your Highness, Luo Keduo was killed in the battle. Our cavalry in the back mountain has fled. The Ming army has blocked the road to the back mountain. Our army has no way to retreat."
"Ah?" Man Dahai's body shook and he almost fell to the ground.
"Your Highness, why don't we surrender..." a confidant suggested in a low voice.
Man Dahai was a prince after all, and he quickly regained his composure.
He slapped the confidant and said, "Surrender! The Ming army will not accept surrender!"
"But we are being attacked from both sides...it's hard to win."
"We can't surrender!" Man Dahai took a deep breath and looked into the distance: "Order each unit to fight to the end. Prince Rui's reinforcements will arrive soon."
As long as a very small number of fools believed what Man Dahai said.
When most normal people find out they are surrounded, their first reaction is to break out and escape.
So.
The Eight Banners soldiers who had been hiding behind various bunkers left the bunkers and broke out down the mountain.
Tens of thousands of Ming troops at the foot of the mountain charged forward and killed the Eight Banners soldiers again.
Seeing that there was no hope of breaking out, the Eight Banners soldiers began to surrender.
The Ming army let the surrendered soldiers go in front and they followed behind.
Attack towards the mountain.
When the defenders saw that the other side was their own, they laid down their weapons and surrendered after a brief ideological struggle.
Led by these people, the surviving Jiannu soldiers defected one after another.
