Chapter 835: Hard Bones
The battle between the two sides can be said to be a real fight for life, and according to the density, it is obvious that the Eight Banners Division suffered more and more people died.
The Eight Banners Division, which had been hit hard, did not retreat and reorganized its men and horses to prepare for the next round of impact.
Gunshots rang out one after another, and in front of the hollow phalanx of the Tianwu Army, there were corpses all over the place, and there were clouds of flesh and blood everywhere, showing a strange and distorted state.
Some of them were killed by firearms, while others were trampled to death by their horses, and their deaths varied.
These soldiers who died in battle, mixed on both sides, experienced incredible pain and struggle before dying.
The tenacity of the Eight Banners Division exceeded the expectations of the Ming army, and the eight banners iron cavalry with rumbling iron hooves around it gave great pressure to the soldiers of the Tianwu Army.
Some of the soldiers who had little experience in the war panicked and wanted to flee for their lives, but as soon as one of them left the array, he was caught by Li Shaoyou, directly pulled out his sword, raised his sword in his hand, and slashed in front of the formation.
Li Shaoyou said fiercely: "Those who retreat, don't be killed!" No toleration! ”
After a short period of panic, the Tianwu army quickly restored order, and under the unified deployment of Li Shaoyou, they began to rearrange the formation with strong discipline.
The Eight Banners Division rushed and killed more than a dozen rounds in a row, and both sides suffered heavy losses and a sharp reduction in personnel, but they could not break through the hollow phalanx of thousands of people, and the battle fell into a stalemate.
Rao is Zilharang saw that the situation was not good, so he was so anxious that he scolded, but in the chaos, it was useless.
In the distance, Jierharang looked at the fluttering dragon flag in front of him, and couldn't help but sigh: "The training of the Tianwu Army is excellent, the combat effectiveness is strong, it is rare in the world, and it is a model for all armies!" ”
The fierce fighting continued until the end of the day, and the Eight Banners Division was always unable to break through this insurmountable gap.
While the two sides were fighting fiercely, Mao Yuanyi had almost completed the collection of part of the rout.
Prior to this, when he saw the rout of the Mongol soldiers, Mao Yuanyi had already decided that the battle was basically lost.
After so many years of fighting old wars, he still has this military judgment ability.
However, Zhu Youneng and Li Shaoyou, the two generals, cooperated seamlessly before and after, and reversed the battle with a strong state of refusing to admit defeat!
Now, he only needs to give an order, the army will be dispatched, and the Eight Banners Army will inevitably be defeated!
In the roar of guns and the chaotic noise, Mao Yuanyi's eyes were full of perseverance, and he shouted in a low voice: "Kill all the Dongyu, just today!" Offensive! ”
He also ordered that in addition to the cumbersome Hongyi cannons, the remaining big Buddha Lang machines, mortars and other artillery were all pushed to the front line to deal a heavy blow to the Eight Banners Army!
Under the personal leadership of Mao Yuanyi, the Ming army launched another attack.
However, Zilharang didn't give him a chance, seeing that he couldn't attack Li Shaoyou's hard bone for a long time, and seeing the miraculous gathering and rout of the Ming army in the rear, his eyes were straight, and he ordered the withdrawal on the spot.
Zilharang couldn't figure out how the defeated army could be gathered so quickly?
He has read so many military books over the years, and he has never found such a situation!
The four-legged Eight Banner Division roared over and roared away, and Fei Yangguo, who came from behind, looked confused.
The Eight Banners Infantry led by Fei Yangguo originally followed behind the Eight Banners Division early and prepared to pick up heads, but they didn't expect to be suddenly killed by Qi Guangyang's thousands of men and horses on Peony Peak.
Fei Yangguo, who was in a panic, had no choice but to order to turn around and dry the Ming army on Peony Peak, but who knew that Qi Guangyang did not fight with him and ordered to return to Peony Peak.
Fei Yangguo ordered to turn around and go to the battlefield, and Qi Guangyang led thousands of men and horses to kill.
After repeating this, Fei Yangguo was so angry that he almost exploded on the spot, and the morale of tens of thousands of Eight Banner infantry was also greatly reduced, and he was in an embarrassing situation.
Now that the Eight Banners Division has retreated, Fei Yangguo had no choice but to order the retreat with a calm face.
On the vast battlefield, the Eight Banners Army, which had originally carried out a counteroffensive, had gradually retreated, retreating to Pyongyang City, and even the defense line was gone.
Mao Yuanyi breathed a sigh of relief, the main force of the Tartars finally retreated, and the Ming army won a crushing victory in this battle.
Both sides suffered heavy casualties, with nearly 10,000 dead and wounded, and more than 10,000 minor and serious wounded.
The Eight Banners Division was no better, the Hollow Array was surrounded by their corpses, and the dense crowd had difficulty walking.
There are also Mongolian soldiers and Manchurian soldiers of the Ming army, especially the Mongolian soldiers, who began to attack the Qing army's defense line with great casualties, and they themselves suffered heavy losses.
In the cheers of the Ming army, Mao Yuanyi ordered the troops to retreat for ten miles, without delay.
The rout that had just been closed, the army's heart was unstable, and he didn't dare to risk continuing the siege, fearing that if the Eight Banners Division killed the horse gun again, it would be over.
Zilharang at the head of the city looked at the Ming army who left the camp, and he was also relieved.
However, he hoped that the Ming army would continue to attack the city, and the Eight Banners Division would take its last breath to make a surprise attack to kill the Ming army, repel them, drive them back to Liaodong, and even chase them all the way to Changhaiguan!
It's a pity that Mao Yuanyi's guy was too cautious, leaving only the Ming army on Peony Peak as nails, and the rest of the Ming army retreated.
In the newly built camp of the Ming army, the generals sat around.
Zhu Youneng, the national surname, also came back alive, at this time he was a little embarrassed, the two-foot hair that was originally compared to Guan Gong was only three inches left, and even the neck was faintly scarred.
Knowing the casualties reported by the following praise paintings, Mao Yuanyi and the others turned pale, the casualties in this battle were too great, and more than a dozen generals above the regiment commander were killed in the battle, and the biggest official position was the deputy capital of the Northern Protectorate.
If it weren't for Zhu Youneng's battle with Li Shaoyou, the menacing Eight Banners Division that dragged him back, the Ming army would inevitably collapse in this battle, and I don't know how many soldiers would be harvested by the cavalry of the Eight Banners Division!
If the saint learns about it, he will definitely be strictly responsible, maybe Mao Yuanyi, the marquis, will have to be demoted.
Mao Yuanyi eased his mood slightly, looked around at the generals on the left and right, and said in a slightly gentle tone, "In this battle, Li Dadu should be the first meritorious, with four thousand elite infantry battalions, resisting 10,000 cavalry, and being sharp in the south, which bought time for our army to turn defeat into victory!" ”
"Deputy Metropolitan Protector Zhu Youcan resist hard, and he personally led thousands of horsemen to meet the enemy, and his heart of serving the country with loyalty and bravery, he is a model for our three armies, and he should be a meritorious service!"
Zhu Youneng subconsciously stroked the non-existent hair, hehe smiled, the excitement was overflowing, he really hoped that his father could see this battle report as soon as possible and personally order a reward.
Next to him, Li Shaoyou, who was the first to make the first contribution, had a calm face, without any expression, and no one saw the resentment in his heart at the moment.
Then, Mao Yuanyi's face was solemn, and he swept to the corner with cold eyes, and said, "Wu Rito! ”
The leader of the Horqin tribe and the deputy capital of the Zhengbei Protectorate stood up tremblingly, hugged his fists and said, "The last general is ......."
Mao Yuanyi shouted: "Wu Rituo, you escaped from the battle, causing the front to be defeated, and our army was almost defeated, what should you be guilty of!" ”
Uzhito hurriedly said: "The commander is wronged, the last general desperately charges to resist, and the warriors of the Horqin Department are more than half, but there are many Tartars, and the last general is really powerless to resist!" ”
He continued: "It was the Urat Department that retreated first, and everyone in my Horqin Department fought hard.......
"Enough!"
Mao Yuanyi's brows were tightly locked, this Urito actually threw the pot to the dead Tuba in battle.
Even though the Horqin Department was fighting desperately, it was always because they fled from the battlefield that the front line collapsed, and this crime could not be washed away.
The same Ming army, also in front, why can the 4,000 Heavenly Martial Army withstand the repeated impacts of the Eight Banners Division, and would rather die than take a step back? To put it bluntly, Uzhito is still afraid of death!
Mao Yuanyi shouted: "Come on, take down Wu Rituo, get rid of the general's uniform, remove the military power, escort him to Nanjing, and hand it over to the Holy Lord and the Ministry of Military Justice for conviction!" ”
Uzhituo was stunned, and only felt that his brain was buzzing.
When you arrive in Nanjing, do you still have a way to live?
In his exhaustion, Uzhito was taken out by the legal soldiers of the Judge Advocate General's Office.
