Chapter 213: Chase if you run away
Beat the water dogs, everyone can.
However, it is not always possible to see a dog in the water and beat you up.
The officers and men of the new army only followed the military order and advanced rapidly sideways, and in less than a quarter of an hour, the enemy army had already begun to completely collapse.
The 200,000 soldiers of the Ming New Army, seeing that the enemy has been defeated, why will they not pursue closely and beat the water dogs?
Under Sun Chuanting's order, the soldiers began to divide into divisions and regiments to chase and kill those scattered and fleeing enemy troops.
Later, seeing that the enemy troops had fled too scattered, they changed to brigades and regiments as units and launched a vigorous pursuit and killing operation.
"Bang bang bang!"
"Whoosh!" ……
Muskets and strong bows greeted the enemy's heads and bodies mercilessly, without the slightest intention of sparing their hands.
Before the war, Sun Chuanting specially emphasized that the object of this war was either a ferocious barbarian or a hardcore traitor, both of which were the targets of killing.
Due to the repeating crossbows carried by the soldiers, all the arrow magazines have basically been shot empty, and in the current pursuit battle, the most lethal to the enemy is the firebolt.
In the new army of the Ming Dynasty, except for those official musket teams, which were equipped with standard rifled guns with an effective firing range of 500 meters, the cavalry officers and soldiers all carried a short gun.
Although the effective range of this rifled short gun is less than 200 meters, and it can only break through armor within 150 meters, it is also nearly twice the effective range of ordinary bows and arrows of the Tartars.
Because during the usual training, the instructor repeatedly emphasized that until the most dangerous moment, you must not fight hand-to-hand or hand-to-hand combat with the Tartars.
Therefore, the cavalry officers and men of each brigade and regiment hung far behind the enemy when they were pursuing, and after constantly aiming, they used platoon guns to shoot.
The double-barreled short guns that are fired empty are also very convenient to reload, and due to the current use of firearms, they all use fixed ammunition packs, which can be quickly reloaded and continue to shoot.
In this way, in the reluctance to pursue the operation, the Ming New Army almost had no casualties.
Occasionally, some people will be injured, but because of the night battle, although there are a large number of bonfires and torches to illuminate, the sight is certainly not as good as during the day, and some anxious soldiers are accidental, they were injured, and they were almost not killed and injured by the Tartars.
A short gun, firing a whistling bullet, swept through the sky, raining down on the Tartars' ranks.
The Tartars who were in chaos in all directions because of the loss of square inches, and those hardcore traitors on the way to escape, were shot and fell down one after another, like a gourd rolling on the ground, constantly rolling on the ground, performing all kinds of actions.
Most of the Tartars and hardcore traitors are very fast on horseback.
This means that after they fall off their horses, they have to roll forward by inertia.
Some wild female real Tartars and hardcore traitors were shot and fell off their horses, tripping their companions behind, and the scene suddenly became chaotic.
After those Tartars and traitors were planted headlong, most of the weapons and equipment on their bodies, as well as all kinds of miscellaneous items, rolled to the ground.
Anything else is enough, but those arrows that you carry at all times are very dangerous.
If you are not careful, those sharp arrows will stab yourself and the people behind you.
When he fell from the top of the war horse and was stabbed by an arrow, it must have been more than lucky.
Therefore, many Tartars and hardcore traitors did not die under the guns of the Ming New Army, but died on the arrows of their companions.
On the battlefield at this time, although in the previous face-to-face head-to-head duel, the Ming New Army had killed and wounded nearly 100,000 enemies, but the remaining deserters still had about 100,000.
100,000 people fled for their lives, and the scene was ...... chaos that ordinary people could not imagine. Nuancai Literature Network
In addition, these guys, although they have their backs to Shengjing City, no one runs into the city, but they just flee towards the wilderness.
Everyone is not stupid, everyone knows that escaping into Shengjing City is also a dead end in the end.
And now that he is outside the city, and it is night now, the city outside this Shengjing City is extremely vast, as long as he escapes to the wilderness, he is basically safe and temporarily out of danger.
As a result, there is a strange scene now: the soldiers on both sides obviously saw the huge gate of Shengjing City in the distance wide open, but no one was stunned and ran towards the open city gate.
Because the Tartars and traitors deserted too much, the ranks were too dense, and they could not be dispersed for a while, and every time the various pursuing troops of the Ming New Army fired at each platoon, they would cause a large number of casualties to the enemy.
The corpses of the enemy personnel were directly trampled into meat sauce and shattered by the ferocious horses' hooves.
The corpses of those fallen war horses, and the debris on the ground, have become obstacles to escape on the battlefield.
The more these things fell, the more obstacles there were in the road, and the sharp arrows that kept falling, and even the sharp scimitars, seriously hindered the speed of the Tartars and traitors.
The closer you are to the area of Shengjing City, the more miscellaneous items such as tents and horses will be, and the slower these wild Jurchen Tartars and hardcore traitors will run.
The slower they run, the longer they are exposed to the target of the Recruits' officers, the more likely they are to be subjected to a short salvo.
The short guns and bows and crossbows of the soldiers of the Ming New Army, at this time, were basically a little hot.
All the soldiers gradually formed a team of ten people on their own, and while screaming and chasing the enemy, they were all numb and frantic pouring arrows or bullets into the chaotic ranks of Tartars and traitors.
In the night of this area, patches of thick white fog have long been shrouded, and it is all white smoke produced after the launch of the short gun.
Even if the night breeze blows from time to time, this thick white fog cannot be dispersed for a short time.
Huge swaths of bullets and arrows fell on the Tartars and traitors, knocking them to the ground continuously, but they could not stop the other enemies from fleeing rapidly.
One by one, the Tartars and the hardcore traitors seem to be completely unconscious, unaware of danger and pain.
The only thing they know is to do their best to urge the war horses to run away, in order to escape from this hellish battlefield area as soon as possible, which is their only belief.
For a time, the battlefield within a radius of more than ten miles was full of corpses of Tartars and traitors, blood flowing everywhere, and some chaotic debris everywhere......
The lively scene like hundreds of thousands of people rushing to the market lasted for half an hour, and the shouting and killing of this battlefield gradually subsided.
Sun Chuanting ordered again to keep 30,000 soldiers to clean up the battlefield, and 20,000 soldiers rushed into Shengjing City to completely clean up and control Shengjing City.
The remaining 170,000 soldiers continued to use brigades as units, carrying torches, attacking in all directions, trying their best to kill the fleeing wild Jurchen Tartars and hardcore traitors.
After an hour, the army will continue to set out as a whole army, and pursue it overnight in the direction of the emperor's escape.
He had already discussed with His Majesty the Emperor that he had to create huge psychological pressure on Huang Taiji and force him to escape with all his might, while helplessly setting off waves of bloody rain in the northern grasslands of the Ming Empire.
Wolves are also particular.
Those hungry wolves, when they are in a hurry, will bite indiscriminately.
In order to survive, it doesn't care who those people are, whether they are former allies or not.
The wolves that are forced to be anxious will jump around and be extremely vicious, bringing waves of bloody wind and rain to the northern steppes and farther western countries.
Huang Taiji and his Houjin warriors are not ordinary wolves that can be compared.
This is a resourceful, decisive and ruthless hero, as long as he does not die early, he will definitely not disappoint Zhu Youxiao and Sun Chuanting.
