Chapter 312: Another Jiannu came to send them to death
When the battle in front was fiercely stalemate, Dai Shan, who was supervising the battle behind, suddenly changed his face and subconsciously looked in the direction of the camp.
In the camp, the big red flag has fallen.
Instead, there was a flag with the word "Luo" written on it.
There were also high cheers from inside.
"Lord Belle ......"
The guards on the side also changed their faces greatly, and just as they were about to speak, they were stopped by Dai Shan raising his hand.
"As long as we defeat the Ming army in front of us, we will win."
Dai Shan gritted his teeth and stared at the "Qin" character flag not far ahead.
He knew that Qin Chuan was there.
As long as Qin Chuan's main force is defeated, the other Ming armies will inevitably collapse automatically.
If Qin Chuan can be killed or even captured alive, no matter how heavy the casualties are, it will be worth it.
At this time, many soldiers in the rear found that the camp had been captured, and a commotion soon spread.
"Those who retreat will be killed!"
Seeing that the army's heart was a little shaken, Dai Shan hurriedly raised his waist knife and shouted.
"Those who retreat will be killed!"
"Fight to the death!"
The generals who supervised the battle behind also shouted.
The commotion was quickly suppressed, but this was only a superficial phenomenon, and many soldiers in the rear had begun to waver in their hearts.
The soldiers who were fighting in the front row did not know that the camp had fallen, and after hearing another shout from behind, their morale was even higher than before, and the offensive was much more fierce.
Despite the fact that there were 30 tiger squat cannons and 200 flintlock guns, Emperor Guan's army still could not resist these high-morale Jiannu.
After all, Emperor Guan's fighting skills were far inferior to Jiannu's elite, and Jiannu's close-range armor-piercing heavy arrows were extremely sharp, and the wooden shield couldn't stop it at all.
The most important thing is that those Jiannu don't seem to be afraid of death.
The Jiannu who rushed up were killed by artillery and flintlock guns in a row, and the corpses of Jiannu were already piled up between the front lines of the two armies, but the Jiannu behind were still stepping on the corpses of their companions under the agitation and drive of Daishan and others, and pounced on them with a roar.
Up to now, more than half of the casualties of Jiannu have been killed.
It is extremely rare to be able to withstand such large casualties and continue to fight.
Perhaps it was because Qin Chuan repeatedly attacked and killed the warriors of their Dajin Kingdom, and also used thousands of heads to build a mountain, which made them fight with anger.
Perhaps because of Jiannu's long-term psychological superiority, they thought that after the handover of the short army, they would be able to chop melons and vegetables on this Guandi army like strangling other Ming troops.
In fact, the hand-to-hand battle of the Guan Emperor army was indeed not their opponent.
After Qin Chuan led a hundred red-clothed attendants to join the battle group, the gap that Kadahun took the lead in tearing was filled, and the group of Bayala soldiers also died, but the form of other fronts was not optimistic.
The Guandi army in the front row continued to fall, and Jiannu began to advance step by step, and the Guandi army was still defeated and retreated under the leadership of the generals.
On top of that, there are several Tiger Squat cannons that have fallen into the hands of Jiannu, and there are still a few boxes of ammunition in them.
Seeing that those Jiannu were loading the tiger squat cannon, the Guan Emperor army began to revolve and flee.
Although the desperate efforts of several generals did not result in a major rout, the panic had spread.
Qin Chuan, who was covered in blood, was so anxious that he even began to regret that he shouldn't have transferred most of his firearms to Luo Da Niu.
He's a little underestimated.
I didn't expect Jiannu to be able to resist such a large casualty and such a high fighting spirit.
If the battle situation does not turn around, it is estimated that it will not be able to withstand it.
At the critical moment, a Guan Dijun in charge of observation in the rear suddenly shouted excitedly: "The camp is broken, the camp is broken!" The camp of Jiannu was broken. ”
Hearing this, Qin Chuan's spirits perked up, and after splitting the skull of a Jiannu in front of him, he raised a long knife full of gaps: "Brothers, the camp is broken, as long as we resist this wave of offensive, we will win!" ”
"Fight to the death!"
"Fight to the death!"
The dozens of surviving red-clothed attendants and generals, big and small, also shouted loudly.
The morale of the Guan Emperor army, which had already begun to panic, instantly soared, and began to launch a fierce counterattack against Jiannu.
"Gunners and gunners, hit each other's tiger squat cannons, don't let them fire!"
"Quick!"
"Get out of the way of the front, the cannon is coming."
A few tiger squat cannons and dozens of flintlock muskets swept out the muzzles and muzzles of the guns, aiming at the Jiannu who was loading.
"Boom" There was a burst of gunfire, and the vicinity of several tiger squat cannons in the Jiannu Formation instantly turned into a vacuum zone.
"Kill!" 110 eBooks
Qin Chuan took the lead, carrying a long knife and rushing into the vacuum, followed by a group of red-clothed attendants.
Other generals also launched a fierce attack on Jiannu with their respective soldiers, including He Qizheng, Qin Boyang, Zhao Lishan and other Ming generals who had just returned to Shun, as well as Zhao Sandao, Feng Shuangli and other bandits who had also returned to Shun not long ago.
When these people first joined the Guan Emperor Army, it was difficult for them to adapt to the strict military regulations for a while, and they were all decent when they fought, which was not good, nor bad.
But after several victories in a row, they were convinced, and the original disciplined army was really invincible.
After fighting for a long time, they all killed red eyes, and the blood in their bones was also killed, and when it came to the moment of excitement, they couldn't help but take the lead and rushed forward first.
With this rush, the morale of Emperor Guan's army soared again, and they even killed Jiannu several steps back.
At this time, an excited shout sounded from behind: "The right wing has won, the right wing Luo Yingguan has won, and the Jiannu has lost his armor and cried for his father!" ”
"Brothers, the Luo Da Niu battalion officer has come out of the rear of Jiannu!"
"Mighty!" Qin Chuan raised his sword and shouted again.
"Mighty!"
The impassioned cries of the Guan Emperor's army were like a tsunami from a mountain, and the offensive became more and more fierce.
The slaves were all panicked, they didn't expect that these Nikan, who they had always thought were no different from sheep, would become so fierce.
The most important thing is that the battalion actually fell, and the right flank was defeated.
Another Nikan also came from behind, trying to flank them on both sides.
Defeated.
If you continue to fight, you will only end up in a dead end.
As a result, some of the Jiannu turned around and fled, rushing towards the horses behind them regardless of the disregard.
This escape instantly formed a chain reaction, and the other Jiannu also turned around and rushed towards the back.
Dai Shan, who was behind, opened his mouth, and wanted to scold loudly, but when he saw the defeated Shuo Xuan on the right flank, and saw that there was a Ming army rapidly approaching in the rear, he sighed, and then turned his horse's head and slapped the horse and galloped wildly.
"Kill!"
Qin Chuan tore off a piece of armor on his chest that had been cut to the point where only a rope was left, and dragged the knife to chase after him.
The original stalemate has turned into a great escape and a great pursuit.
Jiannu, who was running fast, grabbed the horse and galloped to the east with no life.
Those who ran slowly were either hacked to death by the Guan Emperor army behind, or shot by Luo Da Niu from the middle.
It didn't take long for Jiannu to be left standing on the battlefield, either lying down or running away on horseback.
But the chase was not over yet, Luo Ba led more than 1,000 Guan imperial troops to get on the horse and continue to chase.
Zhao Wu, who has been cruising around the periphery, also took dozens of nights to intercept and kill the lone Jiannu.
Qin Chuan forcibly cut off the head of a Jiannu, looked left and right, and after seeing that there were no more enemies nearby, he sat on the ground covered with blood and gasped for breath.
In this battle, he was stabbed seven or eight times.
Fortunately, he wore two layers of armor, and the outside was still a strict pair of armor, so he didn't suffer too much damage.
But there were several fleshy wounds on his arms and shoulders, and the armor on his body was also cut to tatters, and he was soaked with blood, and he smelled blood.
In this battle, the Guan Emperor's army suffered heavy losses, and only preliminary estimates suggest that the casualties may reach more than 1,005, or even more.
But they still won.
The casualties of Jiannu were greater than theirs, 6,000 soldiers, and less than 2,000 escaped.
A large amount of money, food and population were also left behind.
This battle is worth it.
"Urgent, urgent!"
At this time, a fast horse galloped from the southeast.
The red-clothed attendant who carried it hurriedly stood behind Qin Chuan and held the flag high.
The fast horse came straight towards the general flag, and it didn't take long for him to quickly dismount and run in front of Qin Chuan.
"General Qiyu, the Yue Command is coming this way, the marching speed is a few pieces, it is only less than twenty miles away, and the Liao battalion is leading the Tiger and Leopard Battalion to follow behind."
"Oh?" Qin Chuan's spirits perked up, "How many troops did Yue Zhi bring?" ”
"There are about 5,000 horsemen, and there were originally more than 1,000 Aha horses, but they have been intercepted by the tiger and leopard camp halfway through."
"What about their money, food, and population?"
"Stay behind, it has been captured by Li Yingguan."
"Okay, go and inform Luo Ba and let him cross from the east and intercept Yue Xuan's route to the east."
Qin Chuan helped a red-clothed attendant and struggled to get up from the ground.
"Brothers, there is another Jiannu sent to death, all cheer up, and fight him again, this time, Liao's three-gun tiger and leopard battalion will fight with us on both sides, and one wave can overthrow them."
Hearing his words, the Guan Emperor troops who were resting around stood up one after another and regrouped under the shouts of their respective generals.
