Chapter 215: I see, don't chase after the poor guy

Abatai, who really had no way to take the Ming army's vehicle formation, already wanted to withdraw, but when he thought that he had just led the flag and returned in vain, Ama really couldn't explain it, and the brothers were afraid that they would laugh at him, so they could only continue to chase the Ming army head-on.

But Abatai was not stupid, and did not let his cavalry continue to play the trick of "you advance and I retreat, you retreat and I advance" with the Ming army, but on the one hand ordered the cavalry to hang Niu Lu behind the Ming army, and on the other hand ordered the infantry Niu Lu in the rear to hurry over to reinforce him.

When the Ming army camp was fought before, it was those warriors of the infantry Niu Lu who wore double armor and broke through without fear of death. Now, he also used this trick to deal with the Ming army vehicle formation in front of him.

Basically, Abatai could conclude that the Ming army's chariot formation came from the small defense battalion of the Ming army in Dali Ahana.

The specific information about the Ming army defense camp had already been detected by Tanma a few days ago, and it was reported that the Ming army defenders in this camp were less than 3,000, and most of them were heavy husbands, mainly used to guard the Hunhe pontoon bridge. Therefore, the generals of the Eight Banners, including Nurhachi, did not pay much attention to this Ming army defense camp.

Abatai thought that it would be better to let this Ming army and the gang of routs into their defensive camp, and then he would lead his troops to surround them again, as long as the pontoon bridge on the Hunhe River was destroyed, these thousands of Ming troops were not meat in their own pots.

The idea is good, the Ming army camp in Salhu has been broken, and the juniper headquarters in Jilin Cliff has become a lone army, and the defeat is a matter of time. At that time, as long as the blue flag captures the Hunhe pontoon bridge, the Ming army on the east bank of the Hunhe River will be unable to escape.

It's just that when following the Ming army's chariot formation and approaching Dali Aha, Abatai received a report that the road ahead could not pass.

If the Ming army doesn't leave, why can't it go?

The bewildered Abatai came to the front, only to see that several trenches had been dug out of the road leading to the Ming army's defense camp, and even the surrounding fields had been dug one by one.

The trenches were not dug too deep, probably only up to the waist of a man, but each one was so wide that the horses could not jump. Some of the ditches were filled with stagnant water, and some were filled with sharpened bamboo tips by the Ming army. Some lots also have spiked nets pulled up with wire in front of them.

What is even more infuriating is that at the intersection of two or three trenches, there are sentry posts made of earth. The Ming troops stationed inside were more than a dozen people, and as few as six or seven people, either armed with firearms or only with bows and crossbows. From a distance, some of the posts were still equipped with artillery, and the muzzles of the guns were clearly aimed at the open area in front of the trench.

In some places, the Ming army may have been unable to excavate in time due to manpower constraints, so they used a large number of chariots to destroy and intercept it. There were also plenty of haystacks behind the chariots, apparently to prevent the Jin army from rushing in through these gaps to set fires.

Not far away on the Hunhe River, two pontoon bridges are clearly visible. There are also Ming troops on the bridge pushing supplies, and there are also small boats of the Ming army on both sides of the bridge patrolling back and forth.

The Ming army's defense camp was quiet, but the flags planted everywhere in the camp and the Ming military fortifications in front of him told Abatai that this was definitely a dangerous place.

"Only a timid Han Chinese official can come up with such a method."

Abbateton felt that such fortifications could not be dug up in a day or two, and these trenches and fortifications were connected in a very orderly manner, and even the firearms seemed to be exquisite, and they were more sharply prepared than the Ming army's Salhu battalion, and if they attacked rashly, they would pay a lot of casualties.

"Master, what should I do?"

The blue-flag-clad Lazhang Jingturushh scratched the pigtails on the back of his head, it was the first time since he had fought with the Khan that he had seen someone defend the camp to such an extreme.

Jiala Ezhen Ilden was afraid that the banner lord would order them to attack on the spur of the moment, so that the loss of the sons would be great, so he persuaded the banner lord to transfer the Han army from the West House to the king of Khan. The implication is to let those Han soldiers come over and act as cannon fodder.

But as soon as he finished speaking, he was scolded by the flag owner: "We can't get by, they can get by!" ”

Abatai's horsewhip pointed to the slowly moving Ming army chariot formation in front of the left and the Ming army in the formation.

"Minions are stupid!"

Yilden patted his head: Yes, why can't he think of it, since the Ming army can pass, it means that the defense arranged here must have a back road, that is, there must be a flaw!

"What are you still doing in a daze, why don't you hurry up!"

"Wow!"

Ilden, Tulu and other generals responded in unison, they were not stupid, they all saw that as long as they could stick to the Ming army at this time, they might be able to follow them to break through this Ming army defense camp.

Soon, the cavalry of the Jin Army with blue flags gathered and pursued along the retreat of the Ming army's chariot formation. However, when he saw that there were still dozens of zhang away from the Ming army's vehicle array, a roaring explosion suddenly sounded in Jin Bing's ears, and then the war horse under him fell to the ground.

Dozens of explosions. Hundreds of pigtailed soldiers were caught off guard and were blown up. Some were killed directly, some were pressed by their own mounts, and some were thrown into the ditches on both sides, full of holes by the bamboo tips inside.

Seeing this, the Ming army, which was retreating to the camp, drove out a group of more than 300 people from the car formation, and fired at the braided soldiers who had not recovered from the black smoke.

After three rounds, the Ming army quickly turned around and went back, not even looking at their results.

When the black smoke cleared, Abatai was also dumbfounded, and saw that the originally good road had been blown into a pit in the east and a pond in the west, and a hundred and ten cavalrymen of the second Jiala and their war horses were staggering and blocking the road.

"Whew!"

Abatai really gasped, thinking that the Ming army had used some kind of demon magic, otherwise how could this good mud ground explode out of thin air.

The thousands of pigtailed soldiers who followed all the way were also all sucked, and they looked ahead in amazement with their mounts.

The Ming army, which was retreating towards the defense camp, did not seem to be afraid of the Jin army at this time, and actually sent more than a dozen soldiers to openly provoke the Jin army.

Abatai gritted his teeth angrily, and his generals couldn't get angry. So Tuloosh organized a men's horse in pursuit. As soon as the shouting Ming soldiers saw that their posture was wrong, they turned around and ran away as if their buttocks were on fire.

This gave the pigtailed soldiers a little emboldened, and they shouted in a mess that they would jump over the corpses of their comrades, and those who opened their bows and arrows would take revenge.

After rushing out of more than a thousand feet, there was another explosion in his ears, and a pile of stones exploded here like a heavenly maiden scattering flowers, and countless iron nails flew there, and then he fell from the war horse involuntarily.

The fleeing Ming army ran out of 100 people and shot at the chaotic Jin soldiers, and ran away without looking back after shooting.

When the black smoke cleared, the scene was the same as before.

At this moment, the Jin army was so frightened that they didn't dare to move forward.

"Seventh Elder Brother, what should I do?"

Ilden stubbornly asked the banner owner with protruding green muscles, and after a long time, the seventh elder brother said four words: "Don't chase after the poor!" ”

This reason is very good, the seventh elder brother thinks it is very good, and Ilden also thinks it is very good.

So, after leaving more than 300 corpses of Erlang before and after, the blue flag gave up the idea of attacking the Ming army's defense camp.

Seeing that after Jiannu withdrew, Zhou Tiexin, the supervisor who had been hiding in the camp, shook his head, and then appeared in front of everyone with confidence, and said to Gong Niansui and others, who were in charge of guarding the camp:

"How? The official has said a long time ago, don't look at the official is a scholar, I want to follow the Wei father-in-law to sweep the Jiannu, three times to Changdian, four to protect Dadian, which battle is not a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, but is the official afraid? ... Therefore, you must not despise our generation of scholars, you must know that our generation can kill the enemy when you get off the horse, and you can govern the country when you get off the horse..."

In the bold words, Lord Tiexin pinched his leg for no reason, and then it was very smooth to stretch.

It was a little cold before, but now it's warm.
