Cutting over the end of the Ming Dynasty: a dog-leg knife at the beginning

Chapter 965

The tide was rolling and roaring, crashing against the rocks on the shore, making a thunderous noise, and the splash of foam was terrifying.Those Eight Banners disciples turned a blind eye to the power of the sea, roaring and screaming all the way, throwing away the weapons in their hands and rushing towards the ships bumping in the waves. The prestige of slaves?It's just a group of ants driven by the fire!Those sea ships were crowded with people as long as they could stand, but they couldn't leave the port because there were countless hands holding on to them, trying to climb up.Everyone knows that these small sea ships cannot carry so many people. As a result of everyone swarming up, everyone can only die together. Everyone knows this, but no one is willing to let go. Because this is their only hope of escape!
The Ming army also rushed over like a tide, shooting, shooting arrows, and throwing javelins at the densely packed Qing army crowded around the ship.The once brave and invincible Manchurian warriors have now become as weak as lambs. They are soaked in sea water and have no power to fight back. They can only passively bear the firepower of the Ming army with their foreheads and bodies. The screams almost overwhelm the sound of the waves. Large swathes of blood spread, staining the beach red.The Qing army became more and more crazy. They grabbed the people on board and dragged them into the sea vigorously. They even shook the ship vigorously trying to shake the people on board so that they could climb up.Of course the people on the boat didn’t do it, they swung their knives and chopped off the hands that were holding on to the boat. When the blade fell, the severed fingers fell into the sea like raindrops, and the screams and curses of the recruited soldiers were heard. Che Yunxiao makes people feel creepy.At this time, several cannons were pushed near the beach, and the black muzzles were aimed at the sea ship, making a terrifying roar. A bowl-sized shot shot through the air and hit the sea ship. The huge shattered body and broken ship material Splashing everywhere, setting off a rain of blood...

"Ah--ah--"

Pu Luo's liver and gallbladder were torn apart, he screamed in horror, swung his heavy sword and slashed wildly, screaming, "I'll kill you! I'll kill you all!!!"

"Puluo! Puluo!"

An all-too-familiar voice came, dispelling the boundless darkness and fear. Pu Luo opened his eyes, only to see Abatai standing by his side, with an anxious expression on his face, shaking his body with his hands, constantly shaking his body. calling his name.Pu Luo widened his eyes and looked around, the surroundings were pitch black, the sea tide was coming one after another, the sky was shining with stars, the blue was as clear as washing, where could there be any smell of gunpowder?Oh nightmare, he just had a nightmare!It's just that this dream was too real, and now his whole body was soaked in cold sweat, panting heavily, and asked weakly, "Ama, where are we now?"

Abatai said: "On the boat, we have already left Haizhou."

"Haizhou..." These two words were like a sharp thorn, piercing Pu Luo's heart fiercely. He jumped up suddenly, and threw himself to the window to look around. It was pitch black all around, and the boundless darkness made him The hairs all over his body stood on end.He jumped to another window to look out, but still couldn't see anything. He cried out, "Ama, where is our army? Where are our horses? Where are our artillery? Where did they go?"

With a bitter expression, Abatai said in a harsh voice, "It's gone...it's gone!"

Pu Luo looked frantic, and called: "Aren't there six ships? Where are the other five? Where are they? Why didn't they follow? Or did they run away first?"

Abate pressed his son's shoulders to make him stop, and said loudly: "No more, all gone! Only this ship escaped, and the other five ships were sunk by the Ming army while they were still in the port. !”

Pu Luo was trembling all over, tears kept streaming down, almost crying: "Are we the only ones left? Nearly [-] elite soldiers, are there only a few left?"

With tears in the corners of Abate's eyes and trembling lips, it took a lot of effort to speak coherently: "We are the only ones left... Pu Luo, we lost, we lost completely!"

Pu Luo squatted down slowly, covered his face with his hands, shrugged his shoulders violently, and the transparent liquid seeped through his fingers and flowed wantonly.Lost, completely lost, the nearly 100 elite soldiers who went south, except for those who stayed in Jinan, the rest were buried in Haizhou, leaving only the more than [-] people led by their father and son.In the more than thirty years since the rise of the Qing army, has it ever tried to be defeated so badly and completely?This kind of tragic situation beyond redemption makes Pu Luo feel so sad that he wants to live!Of course, no one would laugh at his weakness. The soldiers of the Qing army who managed to escape were all squatting in the cabin, not wanting to say or do anything. Eyes, catch your breath, you're literally going to take them for dead.They still haven't recovered from the tragic fight, and this fiasco knocked out their souls.

Abate looked at the crescent moon in the sky, and was speechless for a long time.Of course he knew that everyone's morale had dropped to a freezing point, and he should try to boost it, but now even he himself was ashamed and couldn't bring up this weak energy.

The defeat from Nanjing means that half of the Qing army's entry into the customs has failed. The biggest problem facing the Qing army now is not how to defeat the Ming army to dominate the country and take the remnants of the Ming Dynasty into their pockets, but how to keep the north. Li... No, I am afraid that even Beizhili will not be able to keep it. The most important thing for the Qing army to consider is how to return to the outside of the pass!But, will the Ming army let them retreat from Beizhili?
Lost, completely lost!
The disastrous defeat in the Battle of Haizhou is probably just the beginning. What awaits the Qing army next will be the Ming army's offensive wave after wave until the Qing army is completely submerged.In the past, Abatai never believed such nonsense, but in the battle of Haizhou, he was shocked to find that the Ming army really had such ability and determination!The Ming army that fought against him in Haizhou was nothing more than a hodgepodge of miscellaneous things, and the Qing army also played at a super level, but they just let them be beaten to annihilation. A hodgepodge has such combat power, then As the number one elite of the Ming army, how terrifying will the fighting power of the new Heluo army be?I can't even imagine it!
Where is the way out for the Qing Dynasty?
Are they doomed to huddle in deep mountains and old forests and chew bark?

"Ama, what should we do next?" Pu Luo's weak voice interrupted Abate's thoughts.The self-confident, sharp-edged look of this one of the best generals in the younger generation of the Qing army has disappeared, leaving only confusion and fear.

Abata was silent for a long time and said: "I'm afraid there is no safe place in the pass. Let's... go back to Liaodong!"

Pu Luo shouted: "What about the Emperor? What should the Emperor do?"

Abatai sighed: "How can we care about him! Let's hope for good luck! Pu Luo, I have a hunch that the end of our Qing Dynasty is here!"

Pu Luo's body trembled violently, and he shouted in fear: "Ama, don't say such words!"

Abatai smiled bitterly, swallowed back the words that came to his lips, sighed again, and said: "In short, after returning to Liaodong, organize the bannermen to move north immediately. Liaodong and Liaoxi are not safe anymore. Let's move to Ninggu Go to the other side of the tower, and come back if the situation improves, in case... in case we can't even defend Shenyang, we can only continue to move north and flee until the Ming army can't find us."

Pu Luo hesitated to speak, he wanted to say that the situation was not so bad, the Qing Dynasty still had a lot of troops, but thinking of the indomitable and unstoppable fierceness of the Ming army in the Battle of Haizhou, he fought a cold war, The words came to my lips and couldn't come out.The morale of the Ming army has been boosted, they are no longer afraid of the Qing army, and after successfully dumping those terrible civil servants in Beijing to the Qing, there is nothing that can tie their hands and feet, the victory is already divided , Daqing... no chance.Perhaps, as Abatai said, after they returned to Liaodong, they should organize the banner people to migrate north as soon as possible, and leave this land of right and wrong before the Ming army killed Shenyang?

But, can they still return to Liaodong smoothly?

Here in Haizhou, the high tide rushed a large number of corpses into the distance. I don’t know how many generals of the Ming army looked at the ocean and sighed, beating their chests and screaming: "This damn tide has washed away our heads. These are all military achievements and rewards." Silver! It’s a loss, it’s a big loss!” It’s not unreasonable for them to be heartbroken, even though they were harvested by Yang Menglong in Lvshun, and the market was severely beaten down with more than 1 Qing army heads. Heads are no longer as valuable as they used to be, but one head can be exchanged for more than 20 taels of silver, right?This is more than two years of their salary!Seeing so many heads washed away by the tide, they were naturally distressed.

Many desperadoes found some driftwood and bamboo to tie them into rough rafts, paddling these broken things that fell apart at the touch of a finger, walked through the waves, and used hooks to hook the corpses of the Qing army and cut off their heads, not caring about the bigger ones. The waves can shoot them into the bottom of the sea to accompany the Qing army, and it is a vivid interpretation of the eight-character mantra of "man dies for wealth, and birds die for food".On the coast, the severed heads, captured weapons and armor were piled up into hills, and more than 3000 Qing army prisoners of war knelt on the ground and waited for the winners to send them off—their fate might not be much better. The Ming army will never let them go.

Qi Hu watched all this silently, with tears in his eyes, and whispered in his heart: "Qi Jin, and all the soldiers of the Qi family army, have you all seen it? I will avenge you for the revenge of Hunhe! The end is here!" The annihilation of the Qi family army on both sides of the Hun River has always been a scar on his heart, which has been bleeding for so many years, and the pain is severe. He once said that if the revenge of those thousands of children cannot be avenged, he will be considered dead. , the eyes will not close!Now it seems that God still prefers the Qi family army, and gave him a chance when he was too old to wield a knife, allowing him to avenge the Qing army!
Li Dingguo rode his horse and ran over, and behind the horse was dragged a half-dead Hongba Yala soldier. This kid escaped on horseback, but was caught up by Li Dingguo, and he threw a rope to catch the smoke and dust and dragged him back.Li Dingguo didn't care about the life and death of the prisoners, reined in the horse, jumped off the horse and ran to Qi Hu's side, shouting excitedly: "Grandpa Qi, we have won! We have won a big victory!"

Qi Hu stabilized his mood and said: "Yes, we won... Let's cheer to our heart's content, lock up the captives, and then take out all the fine wine, let us drink freely and celebrate the victory! Enjoy this rare joy to the fullest, because very Soon we will go north again to participate in more brutal battles!"

"Wan Sheng! Wan Sheng!"

The Jinmen Army, the Yingxia Army, the Zhejiang Army, and the Huaisi Rebel Army all cheered up and shouted. Even some black mercenaries in the Yingxia Army shouted Wan Sheng in blunt Chinese. It became a thunderbolt, shaking the clouds in the sky.Countless exhausted and blood-stained soldiers screamed for victory and hugged each other tightly, and the coast became a sea of ​​joy...

It formed a very sharp contrast with the Qing army fleeing in panic!
