Chapter 158: Destroying the withering and decaying, escaping from the battle

Zhang Quan looked at Juniper who rushed into the formation, and shouted with a red face: "Soldiers must not be Hongyi, although I am a minister, I can't live alone." With the will of death, how can I be missing someone Zhang"!

It was getting late, but the battle was still going on. The morale of the Ming court sergeants had already been shaken, and if it hadn't been for the commander Juniper himself in front of the battle, a large-scale rout would have begun long ago.

At this time, the Houjin army had occupied the riverside, manglin, foothills and valleys, and the soldiers of the Eight Banners surrounded the Ming army with several times the strength of Juniper.

Under the banner of the Wise Khan Nurhachi, all the soldiers besieged on all sides, cutting the Ming army into several pieces, and the roar of firearms, the neighing of war horses, and the shouts of soldiers all gathered in this small mortal place.

Juniper fought for a while, and was already exhausted, so he temporarily went to the rear army to rest a little under the escort of his own soldiers.

"Why is there no sound in this cannon, go show me what is going on." Juniper, who had just sat in the tent, was surprised by the smaller and smaller cannon sounds, and couldn't help but ask.

After a while, the soldiers came in and reported: "My lord, it is already dark, and the gunners have no way to aim, for fear of accidentally injuring their own people, so they have stopped shelling."

I am already a small number of people, if I don't have the help of firearms, how can I resist it?

Hearing this, Juniper stood up and commanded loudly: "Ask someone to light the torch, and we will fight Jiannu to the death tonight!"

After speaking, he threw the bowl in his hand on the ground, strode out of the tent, and continued to fight with the Houjin soldiers.

When he saw the torch raised in the Ming army's camp, Da Belle Daishan said to Nurhachi with a smile on his face: "Haha, father Khan, the Ming army has raised the torch, and my clan's sons and daughters are just in time to attack the light from the dark, and it is time for my Eight Banners soldiers to show my ability to ride and shoot."

Everyone was overjoyed when they heard it, and the wise Khan Nurhachi couldn't stop laughing, this big brother was kind and quite insightful.

"Well, what the Great Belle Daishan said is very true, immediately pass the order, all the sergeants will shoot it with bows and arrows, and tonight Ben Khan will completely annihilate this group of Ming troops"!

The Ming army, which was in the middle of the battle, suddenly found that the Houjin soldiers who were fighting against them were slowly retreating, thinking that they were going to retreat and rest.

Juniper, who was covered in blood, was also incredible, and he didn't know what Jiannu's intentions were. hurriedly summoned the personal soldiers around him, and took advantage of this gap to let the generals rush over to discuss the follow-up battle.

But before the soldier could go far, the rain of arrows in the sky roared, densely packed, covering the sky and the ground, and the camp illuminated by the torch instantly turned into a black oppressive patch.

Jun Song looked at the galloping arrow rain, and only had time to say: "I see" and fell in a pool of blood with several arrows in his body, and the famous general of Liaodong, known as Du Taishi, the chief military officer of Shanhaiguan Du Song, died in battle.

Those who followed him across the river escaped with the remnants of the remnants of the right-wing battalion guerrilla affairs under the Jingluo mark, and the rest of the generals were all killed on the battlefield.

The prison soldier Zhang Quan was captured, scolded Houjin, swore not to surrender, and finally beheaded the public.

After this battle, Jin won a complete victory, the Western Route Army was annihilated, the dead were all over the mountains, blood flowed into canals, and the weapons and corpses rushed to the Hunhe River, spinning down the river.

"My lord, the word has spread in the camp, the famous Du Zongbing has died in battle, this Jiannu is menacing, and the brothers are panicking, what should we do now? Otherwise, let's sneak away."

"Bastard, we just arrived at Shangjian Cliff, and we didn't even touch Jiannu's hair, what are we running? Raise soldiers for a thousand days, use them for a while, who dares to retreat lightly"?

All the general flags and small flags looked at themselves with admiration, Wu Xiongwei Wu Baihu, who was not good-looking, not tall, and stammered.

"The brothers all listen to the adults, and fight to the end with Jiannu, the fire gun in our hands is not a burning stick, and they will definitely let their gang of miscellaneous pieces come and go!"

Wu Xiongwei looked at the general flag that looked like he was at home, shook his head helplessly, and secretly sighed that these people were still too young and had no experience at all.

"Why did the adult shake his head for no reason, did his subordinates say something wrong"?

Facing the question of his subordinate general flag, Wu Xiongwei stood up and beckoned all the generals to get together.

Everyone saw that he Baihu had a serious look on his face, and knew that he had something important to say, maybe it was a good strategy to defeat the enemy, and they all heard that this Wu Baihu could retreat from all the big and small battle formations in the realm of Liaodong, and it was very likely that this posture would teach us the method of survival.

"You, you, you listen to me, you have to use your brains to fight, and you don't have a single tendon to live. When the time comes, you and you will all listen to me, no matter what the outcome is, this official guarantees that you will not all lie on this battlefield!"

Kaiyuan general army Ma Lin is now in a dilemma, he took his men and horses to arrive at Shangjian Cliff in Fulha Mountain in less than six days, but the scouts came to report, only thirty miles away from the Juniper Department of Salhu was wiped out in one day. More than 30,000 people, even if you kill pigs, you can't kill them so quickly, right?

At this time, he still has any offensive thoughts, and all he thinks about is how to protect himself, and it is thankful that he can avoid following in Juniper's footsteps.

Originally, Juniper's subordinates attacked Gong Niansui only because he could not cross the river with heavy camp firearms, so he survived.

When he heard the news of Juniper's death, he hurriedly came to Marin's big tent of the Chinese army, and said to Marin, who was expressionless and sitting in the big tent: "My lord, Jiannu is stationed thirty miles away, and after a day of fighting, they must also be sleepy and lacking horses. Why didn't we take him by surprise, but set up camp in this Shangjian Cliff?"

"Didn't Ben know this? The general soldier of Nadu was also greedy for merit, so he was defeated and martyred. At this time, we should be more steady, what are you panicking about"?

Ma Lin's words made Gong Niansui stunned when he heard this, and his face was red and his ears were red, and he couldn't speak.

"This adult, at this time...... That's the truth, but it's ......."

"Alas, don't be in a hurry Gong Guerrilla, General Soldier Ma knows in his heart that he knows that you are eager to avenge General Soldier Du by killing the enemy. But we have tens of thousands of horses, and we can't tolerate carelessness on the part of the horse."

The supervising army Pan Zongyan hurriedly interjected to persuade him, he couldn't believe the news of Juniper's defeat and death, but the more he was at this time, the more he had to stabilize the army's heart.

"What Pan Jianjun said is good, in this battle, the imperial court gathered elite soldiers and strong generals to gather in Liaodong, aiming to complete their work in one battle. The four-way army adopted a posture of encirclement of Hetuala, the capital of the chieftain, but the main force of the western route lost the territory, all because of the rash advance of the enemy. Therefore, Ben decided to divide his troops into three places near this Shangjian Cliff, and they were horns for each other, waiting for the two armies to arrive. At that time, it was difficult to take care of Jiannu, and we were waiting for the army to cover up and kill, and we would definitely be able to destroy Jiannu"!

Although Marin said so, he didn't think so in his heart. Although he has musketeers in his hands, the range and accuracy are not as accurate as Jiannu's strong bow and crossbow. And the large firearms of their own artillery are not very effective in field battles. Ma Lin, who is quite familiar with the strength of the Houjin cavalry, the only thought at the moment is how to retreat with his whole body, and winning is a distant luxury.

Although Gong Niansui was unwilling, he was also unable to support it alone, so he had to discuss the defensive strategy with Ma Lin and other generals.

In the end, under the contact of the generals, Marin finally made a decision on the strategy of using troops.

Pan Zongyan led part of the Ming army to be stationed in Feifen Mountain, and the guerrilla Gong Niansui led part of the Ming army to be stationed in Huhui and Emo. They are miles apart, and they are in solidarity with each other. There were three trenches around the camp, outside the firearms array, and the cavalry followed.

All the generals nodded yes, and walked out of the big tent of the Chinese army one after another to arrange the deployment of defense.

At the Shangjian Cliff station, Wu Xiongwei crossed his hands on his waist and shouted loudly to the soldiers under his hands: "All of them are all good, just got the news of elimination, that Jiannu is sharpening knives in Salhu three or thirty miles away, and if you don't want Jiannu's war horses to be killed by bows and arrows, you should quickly dig the trenches!"

"My lord, does this thing work? I heard that Jiannu's war horse jumped high, and that's it...... Can you resist their footsteps"?

"Kou boy, you get out of the way for Lao Tzu!" Wu Xiongwei scolded: "What's wrong with him and their horses eating the elixir? You're still a foot tall, why don't you say that you little calf can fly"?

"Hahaha." After hearing this, everyone who was doing the work put down the work in their hands, and they all looked at the kid surnamed Kou with a red face and laughed loudly.

"I ...... I also listen to other people's words."

Wu Xiongwei walked up to Kou Boy, stretched out his hand and touched his head. After glancing around, he lowered his voice and said to everyone: "I remember that when Jiannu came to attack, everyone was lying in the trenches, and no one should show their heads." His cavalry, the best at horseback shooting. When the cavalry pierced the chisel, the first thing was to release arrows. It's only a hundred steps away, so everyone must wait. And I'll try to stay behind the line as much as I can. Once you find out that something is not wrong, no one is allowed to act privately, and they all obey Lao Tzu's orders, and if anyone wants to disobey the order, Lao Tzu will kill him alive"!

"Yes"!

Looking at the soldiers under his account, Wu Xiongwei's eyes were staring at the direction of Salhu, and he was speechless, with a solemn expression.

Yesterday's great victory made the entire camp of the Eight Banners soldiers, who had been fighting until late at night, full of high fighting spirit, and the momentum of the rainbow soared into the sky, as if the sky was bent over.

Nurhachi got up early and saw the bright eyes of the sergeants in the battalion, and nodded incessantly, and the secret path of the army was available.

After seeing the satisfied expression of his father Khan Nurhachi, the Great Bel Daishan beside him, bowed down and said: "Father Khan, last night's battle showed the might of our army, and more than 30,000 Ming troops were annihilated. At this time, the momentum of the officers and soldiers of the army is high, and they can quickly eliminate the other three-way Ming army by taking advantage of this great victory, and they can quickly eliminate the other three-way Ming army"!

"Haha, this statement is very reasonable, pass the order, bury the pot and make rice, and in an hour my Manchu son will go to meet the Ming army on the North Road for a while"!

The fortifications had been built, and Wu Xiongwei and his sergeants were eating breakfast.

As the youngest soldier in Wu Xiongwei's team, Kou Xiaozi was wiping the fire gun in his hand wholeheartedly.

"No, I said what are you kid doing with it? This shit always blows up, and before it hits anyone, I got my mother shot first. "Wu Xiongwei is very angry when he mentions this firecracker, this thing is too difficult to reload, and after a shot, people will kill it before they finish loading, and they always hurt their own people. Among the more than 100 brothers, this boy is more accurate.

"My lord, I'm a baby, and I will buy a house in the future and marry a daughter-in-law will depend on him."

"Haha, you little doll still want to marry a daughter-in-law? I don't know if you can do it?"

Hearing this Kou boy say that he was not ashamed to marry his daughter-in-law, everyone laughed but leaned forward and leaned back, and they all stepped forward to touch this little ghost-sized doll.

"Boom" There was a roar of cannons, Wu Xiongwei hurriedly threw down his rice bowl, and stared at the direction of Huhui Emo with a frown.

Later, the soldiers of the Eight Banners of Jin began to attack the guerrilla Gong Niansui led the battalion, and the wise Khan Nurha Chiqin led 3,000 elite cavalry to storm the battalion.

Gong Niansui had a lot of firearms in his hands, cannons, and firearms were bursting with hissing. A large cloud of smoke rose from the position, and in the haze, there were constantly Ming soldiers who fell to the ground with arrows, and blood stained the battlefield.

At this time, the Marin Department in Shangjian Cliff was also fiercely attacked by the Houjin army.

Big Belle Daishan looked at the three-tiered trench in front of him, and the huge cannons outside the trench continued to fire, which would bring great trouble to his cavalry department that concentrated on the charge.

The second Bel Amin and the third Bel Mang Gurtai were helpless, and they kept scolding in the rear army.

The battle was stalemate, and before the Ming soldiers could catch their breath, at noon, Nurhachi, who had defeated Gong Niansui's troops, led the army to arrive.

"Father Khan, son is incompetent, and he did not capture Shangjian Cliff in time."

After carefully observing the situation on the battlefield, Nurhachi waved his hand at Dai Shan, who was ashamed, and said, "It's okay, but you have to remember that you must be flexible and changeable on the battlefield, and you can't blindly use brute force." You see, the foot of the hill is very well defended, and the ravines are not suitable for our cavalry charge. Our army should take the lead on the top of the mountain, and it can make contributions from top to bottom"!

"The son will order him to go down and attack the mountain with all his strength according to the wishes of his father Khan." Dai Shan hurriedly stood up and was about to arrange the battle.

"Wait, it's just a suspicious tactic. The real intention is to lead the Ming army in the trench out to aid Shangjian Cliff, the Ming army that has lost the advantage of firearms, which is the opponent of my Eight Banners soldiers in close combat? When the time comes, you will be able to win a big victory!"

Looking at Nurhachi's expression of victory, Dabel Daishan knelt on the ground and said happily: "Father Khan is like a god with soldiers, and his sons are very embarrassed. If you have a father Khan, you will not die in battle."

"For the generals to judge the situation, adapt measures to local conditions, make use of their strengths and avoid weaknesses, and attack the enemy's weakness, you should remember this lesson in the future and go to the order."

"Oh, sons should always remember the teachings of their father Khan!" After speaking, he stood up and organized the soldiers of the Eight Banners to start a new attack.

Sure enough, when Marin saw Sergeant Houjin starting to attack the mountain, the whole person became panicked, and regardless of the problem that the heavy firearms of the infantry in the trench were difficult to carry, he ordered the infantry to come out of the trench to help.

Seeing that the surrounding infantry troops were running towards the mountain one by one, Wu Xiongwei hurriedly called his sergeants to stop.

"All stand still, Lao Tzu hasn't spoken yet, he's busy sending him to death"?

"My lord, Qianhu ordered us to rush to the aid of Shangjian Cliff, these other people have gone, let's go quickly."

This general banner is called Wang Jian, who has followed him for many years, and can be regarded as Wu Xiongwei's henchman. Wu Xiongwei spat fiercely on the ground, and said with a fierce face: "Then you dare to break through the ghost gate?" Everyone listens to Lao Tzu, take their weapons well, and talk to Lao Tzu. After a while, I'll go to report to the Lord of Yama."

"But my lord, if you let Master Ma know, you have to peel our skin alive, this escape is the sin of killing your head."

All the soldiers were reluctant to leave the trenches to fight with the Houjin army, but the military order was like a mountain, although they wanted to turn around and run, but the words of Wang Jian, the general banner, sounded the alarm in the hearts of everyone.

"You, fucking rice porridge just now, drank too much water, what's wrong? Lao Tzu asked you to withdraw and return to Master Ma? Whether he can survive this hurdle is uncertain."

Wu Xiongwei said in a firm tone: "Don't talk nonsense, talk to the old man and withdraw!"

None of the officers and soldiers of the two armies fighting on the battlefield noticed that after so many hundred or so people came out of the trenches, they did not help Shangjian Cliff, but secretly slipped away in the direction of Kaiyuan.
