Chapter 314 - Either Die by the Enemy or Die by Military Law (Second Update, Ask for Subscription)
In the thirteenth year of Chongzhen, March 22.
If there are really immortals in the sky, the immortals look down on the land of Liaodong from the sky, and they must be able to see that the two mighty armies, all the way to the south and all the way to the north, it seems that both sides are competing for the speed of the march, day and night or south, or north.
"I'm back in Liaodong again!"
Riding on the high-headed horse rewarded by the prince of the world, Huang Degong's whole person looked extremely excited, he was originally a Liaodong Kaiyuan guard military household, after the Jianzhou Jurchen rebellion, he became a refugee all the way, first from the army, and then with the army into the customs, from the soldier to the chief officer, for so many years, he dreamed of Liaodong, all Kaiyuan.
Now, finally stepping on the land of Liaodong again, how can he not be excited?
At this time, he led an army of 20,000 people all the way north, and he was going to Gaizhou, and he had been marching day and night for four days, and finally approached Gaizhou. It was at this time that he learned from the scout that a Jiannu cavalry had been killed head-on, and he couldn't help but be surprised, met the scout, and asked loudly.
"What? Jiannu cavalry, is it a Mongol Tartar, or a Jiannu Tartar? How many people? Where are they? ”
The two scouts jumped off their horses, panting and shouting loudly.
"Yes, it's the Jiannu cavalry, I can't tell if it's the Mongol Tatars or the Jiannu Tatars, with white flags, at least 5,000 people......"
"It's the Jiannu of the white flag!"
As soon as he heard that it was a white flag, Huang Degong understood.
"This Dorgon is really fast!"
Saying this, Huang Degong was already looking left and right - looking for a suitable battlefield!
"Junmen, there is a small mountain bag over there, and there is a river on the left side of the mountain bag!"
Because Huang Degong's army had added hundreds of Liaodong refugees as scouts, naturally some people were familiar with the surrounding terrain, and immediately ran to his roots, pointing to a place a mile or two away and loudly reminding him.
Looking in the direction pointed by the scout, he saw a small mountain covered in snow and ice. It is about a few dozen feet higher than the ground. After observing with the telescope for a moment, Huang Degong ordered loudly.
"Buns form a formation along the mountain, and put the sled cart in front as a wall......"
Only half of the order was given, Huang Degong said.
"Withdraw the sled to the wings and ...... it with barbed wire in front"
When Huang Degong led the troops to adjust the array, Azig over there also paid attention to them.
"That is, the Ming army......
Azig grinned.
The appearance of the army is also neat, and the change of opportunity in the formation is also very ...... But what else is there? When judging the quality of the Ming army, Azig's heart was full of contempt.
To be honest, until now he has not found out that this Ming army is different from the Ming army he encountered in the past, if there is any difference, I am afraid that they are not afraid of the Qing Heavenly Soldiers.
From the encounter between the scouts on both sides to the pursuit of the cavalry led by Azig to this point, it was only half an hour. The reaction of the Ming army was also beyond his expectations, instead of panicking, they chose a terrain that was relatively favorable to the infantry, but what people couldn't figure out was that they actually put the wall composed of large sleds and carts on both wings.
Although he couldn't figure it out, he still muttered that he was not afraid of the Ming army of the Qing Heavenly Soldiers...... That's not much!
"Lord Jun, what should we do now?"
In the face of the minions' inquiries, although he remembered Dorgon's advice before leaving, the rebellious Azig still longed to kill this Ming army deep down, but it was only one or two thousand Ming troops, but as long as there was a rush, the rest was to catch the rabbits.
"What to do? Kill them, of course! Let them know how powerful the Qing Heavenly Soldiers are! ”
There is actually a Ming army in the world that is not afraid of the Qing Dynasty's heavenly soldiers......
Azig doesn't believe it!
But despite this, he still carefully observed the formation of the Ming army, and then grinned, that's it!
The pikemen were divided into two wings, and the center was supposed to be the birdmen. Moreover, the formation of the bird soldiers is really thin, there are only three rows, and they are too dense, almost shoulder to shoulder.
"The prince of the county, the prince once said that these Ming military firearms are very harmful, do you see if they are ......?"
Without waiting for the minions around him to finish speaking, Azig laughed and laughed.
"How much is at stake in firearms? It's not that we haven't seen the firearms of the Ming army, we are all cavalry, as long as we rush over, the cannon is only three, and the gun is only three, what else! Pass my orders! Prepare to charge"
Unlike the Mongols, the Qing Heavenly Soldiers were not afraid of firearms!
First, they have excellent iron armor, and the distance is a little farther, and the three-money bird gun can't hurt them at all, and second, they also have a special trick - shield car, use the covering archers to approach, shoot the Ming army with bows and arrows, and then use heavy infantry to trap the battle when their formation is loose.
But today they don't carry a shield cart. It's not because they're all cavalry, but because since they had the Hongyi cannon, the shield cart has become a chicken rib, and it's easy to be blown away by a single cannon.
"Listen up, minions!"
Azig smiled and raised his whip,
"Deal with this Ming army and find the prince to receive the reward, Songerda, you bring a Niulu cavalry to take the lead!"
"Wow!"
When Songerda ordered the minions to move forward, Azig had already ordered the headquarters to form a formation, a sharp formation of cavalry, not dense, but not loose either, the front team charged with horse pistols, and the rear team fired arrows in a chaotic formation......
For many years, the Qing Heavenly Soldiers have broken their formations like this, uh, and maces, which are used to break armor when they meet the enemy, after all, the Ming army also has a lot of armor.
"Woo ......"
The horn of the offensive sounded.
Sonda grasped the reins in one hand, and held the riding spear more than a foot long in his hand, and shouted:
"Baturu of the Qing Dynasty, rush with me!"
Then he took the lead and led more than 300 cavalry under his command to rush towards the Ming army two miles away.
I don't know how to write dead words at all,
The formation of the Ming army's bird soldiers is simply a joke, and it should be the same as the pikemen, lined up in a large formation, not such a long line. If they lined up like this, when they rushed over, they would really be a bit of a cover-up, but the bird soldiers in front of them were half a mile away...... It's as simple as sending you to death!
When they began to charge, the speed of the cavalry was not fast, in order to save horsepower, their speed was from slow to fast, but despite this, when the cavalry marched, there were still bursts of thunder between heaven and earth, especially three hundred steps behind him, that is, more than 4,000 cavalry led by the prince of the county, and nearly 5,000 cavalry roared and rushed towards the enemy formation, between heaven and earth there were thunderous horses' hooves and strange cries from the Baturu people of the Qing Dynasty.
In the face of such a thunderbolt attacking Jiannu, not to mention the firecrackers in the center of the array, it is the pikemen on both wings, which will also tremble nervously, looking into the air, you can see that Rulin's spears seem to be trembling.
And the musketeers in the center were even more nervous and bloodless, and many of the musketeers in the front row had turned blue-gray with their hands, and they bit their lips tightly, and some even bit their lips.
"Steady!"
Huang Degong, who was riding on the horse, roared, a five-foot long knife stood firmly on the ground in front of him, and a thousand military judges lined up behind him, each holding a five-foot long knife.
Almost as soon as Huang Degong's words fell, one of the musketeers dropped his musket and wanted to flee because he was nervous, but as soon as he turned around, five or six people followed him to escape, and Huang Degong rode his horse and rushed forward, and his sword fell, and the head of one of the deserters was cut off.
"Those who retreat, slash!"
In the blink of an eye, those deserters cut off their heads by the military law team!
At the same time, Huang Degong waved his long knife. The thousand-strong Chinese army stepped forward in unison, shouting at the same time.
"Those who retreat, slash!"
At this moment, the thunderous roar even drowned out the sound of the horse's hooves, and Huang Degong was holding the long knife like that, staring at the front knife, and the blood slowly trickled down the tip of the knife.
At this time, holding the five-foot long knife created by Qi Jiguang, looking at the originally somewhat scattered team, which was recovering the camp, although the soldiers were still a little scared, but firmly nailed to the spot, at this moment, he seemed to understand why Qi Shuai emphasized military law when leading the troops, and also understood why the prince would implement the "Eleven Killing Method", to put it bluntly, it is to let the soldiers understand that escaping is also a dead end!
If you want to live, just stand here and kill the enemy.
Either die in military law or die in the hands of the enemy, the former has no pennis, and the latter enters the martyr's shrine and enjoys the worship for generations!
