[1036 The entire army of Jiannu was destroyed]

Huang Taiji found the point very accurately, Huang Taiji did not directly oppose Mang Gurtai and Amin and others to fight the treasure army to the end, but took a step back, saying that when the Great Khan recovered from his injury, he would lead everyone to a decisive battle with the treasure army.

Dai Shan also said: "I think what Huang Taiji said makes sense, it is indeed not appropriate to fight hard with the treasure army now, the army should be properly stabilized first, it is better to collect the troops and return to the camp first, and everyone will sum it up." ”

"And what did we just raise our hands to decide?" Mang Gurtai was very dissatisfied, feeling that Huang Taiji and Dai Shan were deliberately changing direction to weaken the momentum of the decisive battle he had just led everyone to.

"Don't talk about it!" Amin also said: "No matter how much he is, let's fight first, I'm a golden man, even if I die, I can't die in a nest, I believe that if the Great Khan can command, he must say so!" ”

"Yes, yes! Let's fight first, it's all dead! ”

The Jiannu generals were excited, they really couldn't stand this kind of anger, and the invincible iron cavalry was now pushed back, how could they be mixed in the northeast in the future.

Huang Taiji sighed, knowing that the general trend was gone, and he didn't bother to say more, so he said: "It's okay to withdraw troops without Mingjin!" The big camp to make sure! All the infantry troops were strictly guarded to prevent the treasure army from rushing into the camp. Not a single foot soldier is allowed to leave the camp, is that okay!? ”

"Why? Why should I listen to you? The treasure army is all infantry troops, not a single cavalry, our cavalry can't do it, not necessarily the infantry army can't do it! People are released, the shield plus my Eight Banners archery kung fu is first-class, it doesn't necessarily mean that I can't beat them, won't they fight in a row to shoot, and we will also stand in a row to shoot arrows! Mang Gurtai said angrily, "The 20,000 infantry army must all go out, fight to the death, the current war, the most afraid of people like you, the treasure army can be desperate, why can't we?" ”

Most of those who are in favor of continuing to fight will also be in favor of rushing out in general, including the infantry troops.

This is easy to understand, just like the mentality of a gambler, taking half of the money out is gambling, taking all the money out is also gambling, it's easy to think about stud.

"Every time we release all of us, what if the treasure army has a backhand?" Huang Taiji said angrily: "Don't you use your brains to fight? ”

"What brains? Even if the treasure army has a backhand, we will withdraw if we win this battle, what is the use of keeping people? Leave a few hundred men to guard the camp and protect the Great Khan! Mang Gurtai said: "Everyone has discussed it just now, this is everyone's decision, what kind of big man are you?" Looks like you're capable, doesn't it? ”

"Am I showing myself to be capable? Am I Showing Myself? "Huang Taiji was so angry that Mang Gurtai almost turned his back, and it was not just Mang Gurtai alone, Huang Taiji should be said to be angry with this group of people.

The emperor was speechless with anger.

Dai Shan said: "It's useless for the cavalry to go up, the infantry army is so slow, and it has not become a live target for the treasure army, in my opinion, just listen to Huang Taiji, the infantry army should not move, and the iron cavalry will not be withdrawn if it is not withdrawn." ”

"No! The army is stagnant, at this time it is lacking strength, if the iron cavalry sees the infantry army coming up, the courage will be doubled! The iron cavalry is useless for protection, and the infantry army has a shield, which is different. Mang Gurtai said, regardless of Huang Taiji and Dai Shan, he said to the generals: "Everyone goes, except for the Great Khan's personal guards, let's all go up, we all go to fight with the treasure army, whoever takes a step back is a bad seed!" ”

Everyone agreed.

The reason why Mang Gurtai said this is mainly because Mang Gurtai was originally more reckless and liked to show off in front of everyone, and secondly, Mang Gurtai was once captured by the treasure army, which is a great shame!

Mang Gurtai was anxious to be ashamed.

The crowd came out of the big tent one after another.

Although the whole process was very intense, it didn't take much time, and in less than five minutes, the senior management of Jiannu reached a consensus.

At this time, the Bao army had infinitely approached the Jiannu camp, only two miles away from the Jiannu camp, and the corpse of Jiannu formed a natural fortification, making it more difficult for Jiannu to hit the Baojun with archery.

Corpses were strewn all over the field, war horses were running around, and the treasure army didn't even have time to clean up the battlefield.

Madman Tan ordered people to just take away the war horses, so Jiannu's war horses were continuously pulled to Ningyuan City to assemble, and twenty or thirty thousand horses had been collected.

Jiannu's horses are all good horses, and if they are placed in the pass, a horse can be worth a small yard, at least at the price of fifteen taels of silver.

At this time, President Wei had already let most of the president's guards go out of the city to form a temporary cavalry, intending to harvest with five hundred cavalry.

The tailwind game is easy to fight, there are no fewer people, keep harvesting the enemy army, keep harvesting the war horses, one eliminates the other, and the morale of the treasure army is unprecedentedly strong.

The more than 4,000 treasure troops are still neatly lined up in five rows, still in a tactical formation of lining up to shoot.

There were not many banners, but the formation of the treasure army made the whole army look very formidable.

There were only four or five thousand people left who died in Jiannu Tieqi, and they turned around in place, in a dilemma, which was very embarrassing.

They naturally wanted to retreat, and they all knew that if they continued like this, they would definitely be wiped out, but without Ming Jin to withdraw their troops, they didn't dare to retreat, and retreating without permission was equivalent to escaping.

At this time, 20,000 Jiannu infantry troops continued to open the camp, so that these Jiannu iron cavalry were completely blinded, and they couldn't figure out what the Great Khan meant.

Naturally, the Jiannu Iron Cavalry did not know that Nurhachi was dying, and the infantry of the large battalion had already received rumors one after another at this time.

Against this background, who still has the heart to fight?

The commander is dying, and the Eight Banners Iron Cavalry on the front is more than 30,000 people, and there are still four or five thousand people left who were killed by the treasure army.

The Jiannu generals kept urging the infantry to advance to meet the iron cavalry, and the 20,000 infantry troops were in a mess, and they couldn't walk a few steps for half a day, they pushed and shoved one after another, and people kept falling down and being trampled on.

Moreover, more than half of these infantry troops were Han Chinese, just like a small number of Mongols in Jiannu's iron cavalry, all of whom were captured soldiers.

These Han people have very weak willpower, and they can do some rough work, and it's okay to be a porter, but it's too demanding for them to fight.

"Keep attacking! Don't shoot, run out of grenadier ammo first! Madman Tan ordered.

The artillery company of the Bao army has run out of shells, and the four president-type infantry guns have been pulled back to Ningyuan City by more than 100 infantry.

Now the treasure army is all rifles and grenadiers.

and two cavalry companies that were temporarily formed under Ningyuan City.

Before this battle, Wei Bao asked people to contact the Baojun cavalry regiment cruising near Karaqin, and the contact was contacted, saying that the Baojun cavalry regiment was asked to stand by near Gaotai Fort.

Now I just don't know the specific location of the Treasure Army Cavalry Regiment now.

Jiannu camped between Gaotaibao and Ningyuan City, cutting off the communication between Ningyuan City and Gaotaibao, and the communication technology of the Baojun army has only developed to the stage of simple telephone, and has not yet developed to the stage of radio communication.

In the ancient military formation, one side was the simplest pure spear phalanx, and the other side was the archers, at this time the two armies faced each other, and the spearmen advanced to the side of the archers.

The archers' side ordered free fire, and the spearmen phalanx erected their shields for defense. After three rounds, the archers lost their strength, and the spearmen were largely unharmed, and they rushed up to take the archers out.

The phalanx of archers fired a volley, and a fifth of the spearmen phalanx stood up and quickly stopped defending. After a while, the spearman commander looked at it, and was it okay? Command to go! Then another volley was fired.

Free fire can be dodged.

The same is true of other forms of warfare, where infantry will immediately seek cover when ambushed by rifles, light cavalry will deliberately take a broken line to avoid the opponent's bow and arrow, and only a volley can be deterrent and sudden.

Modern artillery even pays attention to the first anti-aircraft fire and the second flat fire, so that two shells reach the target at the same time.

The way of war has been the same since ancient times.

The infantry tactics of the Hunan army were similar to the Spanish phalanx in the early period of the West, and the Taiping Army also adopted similar tactics, but the rate of firearms equipment was lower, so did the land warfare at that time look similar to the perception of the Western era of queuing and shooting.

The Hunan and Taiping armies were heavily armed with muskets, and musketeers were actually relatively easier to train than archers.

First of all, the Spanish phalanx is not the same as the queue for shooting.

The Spanish phalanx was a combination of two arms, spears and muskets.

The pikemen formed a dense phalanx to defend, and then the musketeers fired around the phalanx, taking refuge in the phalanx as soon as the enemy approached.

This method of warfare originated in Spain, the heyday of the Age of Navigation, and fell to the Thirty Years' War of Germany in the 17th century.

And the queue to shoot is a little later.

By the XVIII century, the invention of the bayonet and advances in training made it possible for musketeers to deal directly with cavalry.

The pikemen withdrew from the stage of history.

In order to increase the surface of fire, the infantry began to line up in horizontal columns with short depths. Especially after the invention of the three-stage strike tactic, everyone lined up in three columns.

Taking turns to shoot is the so-called queue shooting.

The essence of queuing to shoot is queuing.

A round of guns on the opposite side can't actually kill a lot of people, but if the discipline is not strict and the training is not good, it is likely to collapse instantly.

Therefore, in the era of queuing for shooting, European countries trained extremely strictly.

Especially Prussia.

In the era of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, both sides were many newly recruited soldiers, and it was a question of whether they could stand and not run around.

Therefore, it is likely that a large number of muskets are equipped to shoot at each other, but it is estimated that they cannot organize a queue to shoot.

After the musket was equipped, the battle fatality rate increased, and the Huai army learned to line up and shoot them, and learned them from foreign officers, such as Cheng Xueqi, Pan Dingxin, Zhang Shusheng, and Liu Mingchuan.

The Hunan army looked very similar to Gustav II's phalanx, but in fact it was not comparable, at least the infantry firepower was too poor, and it lacked powerful cavalry and artillery.

The Hunan army mostly used two-pounder mountain splitting guns, which were not as good as the Swedish regimental guns.

None of General Greene's three lines of defense at the Battle of Guildford could hold back the resilient British army.

The battle began, the British advanced to the first line of defense, and the militia fired several volleys, but when the British approached the forest, they collapsed.

The British troops were fired upon by snipers on both flanks as they attacked the second line of defense through the forest.

Kangwari threw his second echelon into battle, and the two sides were locked in a fierce battle.

After some British troops broke through the second line of defense first, they attacked the third line of defense without waiting for friendly forces in the forest, but were repulsed.

Green seized the moment and ordered the two Maranli regiments of the Continental Army to counterattack the British, and the battle entered the most intense phase.

Convarry had to order his artillery to shoot at the two armies that were fighting, and many British troops fell under his own fire.

Eventually, the Continental Army was driven out, leaving only the right flank to continue fighting, and as the follow-up British troops arrived, Green realized that he had lost the battle and had to order a retreat.

After Guildford's death-defying close combat, Lord Cornwally of the British Army praised his soldiers as follows: The officers and men of this very small force have done more than they have been honoured.

In this 90-minute battle, the American army suffered about 300 casualties, and after the war, a large number of militias were unable to fight anymore and disbanded and went home.

The British won the battle with tenacity, but also paid a heavy price of 500 dead and wounded on the defenders.

Although the end result was that Cornwall had to abandon the interior and sail north to Virginia, where he was eventually besieged at Yorktown and lost the war.

The battle also illustrated that the poorly trained American troops, despite their numerical and terrain superiority, were still insufficient to withstand the well-trained advance of the British army, even with a good casualty exchange ratio.

A popular image of the Revolutionary War was the ability of American soldiers in natural-colored tunics to accurately aim and shoot British soldiers in dazzling costumes and in clumsy formations on the battlefield, and in doing so, won the entire war.

However, it is not true.

Good marksmanship of American fighters, due to insufficient drills, loose queues.

A lot of times it doesn't work as well as it should.

Washington, counting the number of troops during the siege of Boston, lamented the inefficiency of the U.S. military at the time: "It took eight days for the standing army to do what it could do in an hour." ”

It wasn't until the Continental Army learned its lessons and learned tactical techniques from European instructors that the U.S. infantry developed into an effective force.

Baron Friedrich Wilhelm von Stupben was a volunteer instructor from Prussia who served as a staff officer in Frederick the Great's army during the Seven Years' War.

He translated the Prussian army's discipline and tactical regulations word by word and taught them in light of the situation of the American army, and formulated the principles of the doctrine into a pamphlet, named "The American Army Command and Training Code (1779)", which was used in the American army for 33 years.

In other respects, the Continental Army was also reorganized and the marching formation was adjusted, so that the US army's actions on the battlefield were more flexible and more rapid.

In a series of battles such as the Battle of Bunker Hill, the militia did achieve certain results by relying on the advantages of terrain and other advantages, which boosted morale. But if they don't cooperate with the core forces like the Continental Army, they alone will not be able to win the war.

Obviously, the S. Army has improved the quality of the U.S. military and made the U.S. Army a typical European army, with European-style weapons and European-style tactics.

However, Washington still avoided a head-on confrontation with the British army, partly because of the lack of penetration of the reforms and the lack of a good officer corps, which made the Continental Army very unstable in the battle.

This instability often put the U.S. military in a difficult position against the British, so Washington could only slowly wear down the enemy.

This behavior earned him the nickname "American Fabian," which may have been a tribute to Washington's art of command, but it also reflected the frustrated fact that the American military was inefficient in combat.

Skirmishers are not unorganized and undisciplined in themselves, and can be easily mastered by relying only on the subjective initiative of individuals.

The Continental Congress once formed a special unit similar to that of the British and French colonial wars to complete reconnaissance and harassment missions.

But because of its loose discipline, it is regarded by Washington as a scourge more than a fortune.

In order to give full play to the strengths of the Einsatzgruppen and avoid its shortcomings, the British army selected some infantry in each regular regiment, and in addition to the normal training, they also carried out tactical training similar to that of the Einsatzgruppen: lying down, kneeling to load ammunition, knowing how to hide under the tree and fight alone.

In the 1770's each regiment of the British army in North America had a light infantry company that was agile and agile and familiar with the methods of irregular warfare, and at the same time made adaptable changes in tactics.

The formation began to be a little loose, and there was an increasing emphasis on experimenting with reality in small formations while improving shooting techniques.

Washington's light infantry attempt was also modeled after the British precedent, and each regiment was very careful in the selection of light infantry.

Skirmishing tactics are often carried out by selected personnel from the standing army, organized and planned.

On the other hand, the militia in the southern United States has accumulated a lot of skills in irregular warfare in the Indian War, and the sparsely populated terrain of the south is also suitable for these skills.

The militia maneuvered, dismounted and then marched away, harassing the British and the ration convoys and heralds in every way in the course of the war, and this guerrilla warfare dealt a blow to some small detachments and quartermaster convoys, and made great contributions to the cause of the war of independence.

Compared to these results, the first thing that worked was his regular battle with Green.

Irregular warfare did not play a decisive role, and in the end it was Yorktown's regular warfare that won the war.

He once summed it up this way: "Only a standing army can cope with the exigencies of modern warfare, both defensive and offensive. No militia can possess the qualities necessary to stand up to a standing army. The kind of toughness that is needed on a real battlefield can only be achieved through constant combat and training. ”

Whether it was the American army or the British army, their innovation was nothing more than a different article under a big topic, which was the standard European mode of warfare. Washington's battle with the British was modeled after the battle he had witnessed between the British and the French.

That is, it is supplemented by the American militia and dominated by a European-style standing army.

Washington had always agonized that his army could not fight on a par with the British army.

The skirmishers themselves have been around since the age of cold weapons, and the traditional Greek and Roman skirmishers, whether using slings or javelins or bows and arrows, have always fought in separate formations rather than in dense formations.

By the 16th century, most arquebusiers still used traditional skirmishers.

As the depth of the phalanx became shallower, the musketeers did not need to break away from the phalanx to get the most out of their firepower, and they became more closely integrated with the spearmen, and they almost abandoned skirmishers.

Later, the bayonet developed, the arquebusier and the spearman were combined into one, and the tactical formation became a single close formation.

However, if traditional skirmisher tactics are used, soldiers can make full use of the cover on the battlefield to avoid salvo fire, and at the same time can effectively detect and attack the opponent's lines of communication and logistics bases.

The early arquebusiers fought more as skirmishers.

The Austrian army was one of the first to realize the value of skirmishers, and in the War of the Austrian Succession, Marit Theresa incorporated into the field army the local militia commandos, who had long guarded the defense of the Turkish border.

These wild "Croats" turned out to overwhelm the enemy and disrupted the enemy's deployment.

Their success led to Frederick the Great's cavalry reinforcements, and during the Seven Years' War the "Freedom Battalion" was formed to counter the Austrian skirmishers.

Although Frederick the Great hated these loosely disciplined skirmishers, he carried out three reforms to strengthen the skirmishers, so that the skirmishers became regular troops in the Prussian army and warmed up the battlefield.

Britain realized the importance of this kind of force in the Americas, and there was an attempt to learn the Indian style of play such as the "Rogers Rangers", and later there was a special team formed by riflemen.

After 1770, in each front-line battalion, a light infantry company and a grenade company were on standby, and these two companies quickly became the middle force and were often used for special combat missions as "flanking companies" in the American Revolution.

Other armies soon began to form units for similar tasks, and by the 80s of the 18th century, countries had "light infantry" units employing similar tactics.

At the beginning of the 18th century, French military thought was influenced by Savoyard and Maurice Dydex, and they did not believe much in firepower and might and the advantages of line formations, and were more obsessed with cold weapon shock.

Like the ancient Roman legions, large armies were arranged at intervals along the front line.

This point of view was accepted by the French, and in the 50s it officially entered the training course.

But the early column tactics were not very successful, because the creators despised the firepower environment and the array was poorly deployed.

Columns were often sluggish or chaotic in their charges, losing their intended assault effect and preventing most of the fighters from using their guns to fire.

Most of the French lost faith in this tactic after fighting Prussia in the Seven Years' War.

The French mixed formations, stragglers, horizontal formations and columns organically combined to give full play to their respective strengths to achieve complementary effects.

Before the Revolution, the tactics and deployment of infantry was widely debated among French military strategists.

Count Gibel improved the maneuvering methods and deployment patterns of the columns, and emphasized the need to allow troops to move freely in the face of the enemy, thus achieving greater flexibility than the old army.

He believed that although the horizontal column was a good deployment in terms of fire control and defense, the column was more effective when attacking.

And on the battlefield, battalion columns are easier to deploy and move more quickly.

He pointed out that the decisive offensive was to concentrate overwhelming superior firepower against the enemy's horizontal line, and then launch a charge to destroy it in one fell swoop.

The large number of brave but poorly trained and enthusiastic soldiers in France during the Revolution struggled to maintain the traditional horizontal formations, and the loose formation was a natural response.

As the soldiers gain experience, the next step is to prepare the column for the onslaught of specially trained skirmishers, after all, effective skirmishers require as well trained fighters as a horizontal squad.

The French army was usually fought by a number of small groups of advance stragglers, supported by advanced artillery under the Griboval system, to achieve the purpose of containing the enemy's fire and weakening the enemy's forces.

If the enemy stubbornly resisted, the rear columns were deployed in horizontal formations to engage with them.

If the enemy wavered, the column launched an assault to completely crush the enemy.

By 1795 and 1796, this new type of mixed formation combat was perfected.

The flexible combination of various formations, coupled with the strong support of artillery and cavalry, is enough to cope with different battle situations.

Napoleon's French army swept across Europe with skirmishers and dense formations, proving superior to traditional line tactics in battle.

The Franco-Prussian and Franco-Prussian armies at the Battle of Jena represented two eras, and the French new and flexible skirmisher tactics completely replaced the rigid horizontal tactics of the last century, making them completely bankrupt.

British forces often tended to play defensive tactics to maximize firepower, as exemplified by the famous back-slope tactic.

The opponents of the French, the anti-French coalition against whom they had long been opposed, would naturally not sit idly by, and they would also improve their old tactics to meet the challenge of the French army's tactical innovation.

In terms of the changes in the British army in the anti-French coalition, the British and French skirmishers took a completely different path.

The tactics of the British army were to combine the flexible and mobile skirmishers with the strong and stable main force of the horizontal army, and achieved relatively good results against the French army.

British forces under the leadership of John Moore and the Duke of Wellington often used defensive tactics to maximize firepower.

This is exemplified by the famous back-slope tactic, in which only two deep horizontal formations are deployed behind the hill, using the terrain as cover to avoid the weakening of the French army's long-range firepower.

When the French column approached, the British condescending horizontal column unleashed a devastating volley, supplemented by accurate skirmisher firepower, to crush the French attack.

In the plains, the British skirmishers had to take on the responsibility of covering the main force to prevent it from being harassed and weakened by the French stragglers.

In those days, without a dense formation of disciplined soldiers, it was difficult to imagine a scattered formation of shooters to fend off a cavalry charge.

Thus, while the increasing role of the irregulars and the changing firepower environment seem to indicate that loose formations should replace dense formations; But if dense formations are no longer useful, it is too early until further refinement of weapons.

After all, an army that relies entirely on light infantry will still be defeated.

The famous military strategist Jomini once simplified the principle of war to "the art of dedicating the maximum number of troops to a decisive place", and the easiest way to break the stalemate on the battlefield is still to concentrate superior forces and firepower to attack the enemy's weak points.

A horizontal column allows all muskets to shoot together, a column allows all bayonets to charge together, and the battlefield still requires the traditional dense formation.

The effectiveness of dense formation combat is inseparable from the cover and support of flexible stragglers; The effectiveness of skirmishers also required a well-trained array, and they reverted to the 16th-century relationship between arquebusiers and spear phalanxes, complementing each other.

The typical armament of European soldiers in the 19th century was a flintlock pistol with a bayonet.

In the case of the United Kingdom, the standard weapon of the British army was a single-shot front-loading flintlock pistol with a bayonet about 14 inches long and weighing about 15 pounds.

Its barrel is about 3 feet 8 inches long and about 1 meter long, and can fire 0.75 inches of lead bullets.

In general, a well-trained soldier can fire 3 rounds a minute.

At that time, flintlock pistols were weapons with a low hit rate, so dense horizontal formations were needed to increase firepower.

After several battles during the Napoleonic Wars, the actual combat hit rate of rifles at that time was about 5.5% within 90 meters, and about 2-2.5% from 90 meters to 180 meters.

Brown Bess rifles have served Britain for more than a century, and some of them were captured by the American Army during the Revolutionary War and used against their original owners.

In 1800, Picard tested the flintlock pistol to attack a target 1.75 meters high and 3 meters wide, and achieved a 40% hit rate at 150 meters.

This means that hitting the enemy at 100 meters with a flintlock pistol is not an easy one, but it is also not an unattainable target.

The main factors that reduce the hit rate in actual combat are the interference of various environments on the battlefield and the quality of the shooter, of course, continuous shooting will also reduce the state of the weapon itself.

On the battlefield, because of the use of black powder, the smoke environment cannot be changed, but the accuracy of the shooter can be compensated for by improving the training method and the quality of the shooter, so the weapons used by the light infantry in most cases are the same as those of the line infantry.

The famous Kentucky, or Pennsylvania long rifle, with rifling makes it more accurate in shooting, firing about 0.5 inch bullets.

It was used in small quantities in the Colonial Wars, the War of Independence, and the War of 1812.

However, in addition to training shooters, there is another way to improve accuracy, and that is to improve weapons.

The accuracy of the gun is largely influenced by the barrel process.

In addition to making the barrel straighter and smoother, rifling was also found to improve accuracy, as the spiral-shaped rifling allowed the bullet to rotate and make the trajectory more stable.

This improvement greatly increases the weapon's effective range and accuracy, and makes it more likely that a good shooter can kill a specific target at a longer distance.

During the Battle of Saratoga, Moxie Murphy, armed with a rifled Kentucky rifle, managed to kill the British general Frege from a distance of 300 yards.

Rifles with rifling were advanced weapons at the time, but they were not widely equipped with troops, and there were even voices of opposition.

On the one hand, it is difficult to cut rifling, which greatly increases the cost and makes it difficult to mass produce; On the other hand, most rifles, which are more complex to reload, lead to a lower rate of fire and do not provide sufficient density of fire.

The rifles, rifled guns of the British army were called rifle units.

Rifles are considered suitable weapons for skirmishers.

The main difference between skirmishers and line infantry is not the weapon, but the way they fight.

Just like the treasure army, you can fight with stragglers, or you can line up with infantry and use the tactics of lining up to shoot.

For the Bao Army, they have the highest standards of military discipline and have the weapons to crush their opponents, so it is simpler and more effective to shoot in a queue tactic, and the lethality can be maximized.

Just like now, after adding 20,000 infantry troops, the Jiannu army only resisted for less than twenty minutes before it completely collapsed.

If there is no infantry army to join, just the four or five thousand Jiannu iron cavalry will be in circles and attack from all sides, and there will still be a certain amount of room for maneuver.

Because as long as they do not retreat to the camp, they are not considered to have escaped, and the space is relatively large, which makes it difficult for the treasure army to shoot.

The Bao Army's queue shooting tactics are used to attack the oncoming attacking troops like a tide, so that the power can be maximized.

If the other party is scurrying around, it is definitely better to deal with it than rushing head-on.

Under the persecution of the Bao army, the Jiannu Iron Cavalry and the infantry army could only be beaten passively.

There is simply no way to tie your heels and form a stable defensive formation.

The most ridiculous thing is that originally the Jiannu side was supposed to be the attacking side, but now they have become a complete defensive side.

The first to collapse was Jiannu's infantry army, although hiding behind the cavalry, did not receive many bullets, but the power of the cannonballs of the grenadier was not much smaller than that of the infantry guns, especially a row of successive fires, the death of the cavalry in front was too terrifying, so that these Han people involuntarily began to scatter and jump.

The Jiannu generals desperately used murder to suppress it, but this was an overall rout, and it couldn't be stopped at all, and it was not possible to solve the problem by killing people.

"Damn, bastard, give it all to Lao Tzu, don't run!" Amin carries a saber and kills people everywhere.

The same goes for Mang Gurtai.

A group of generals were red-eyed, and they killed people when they saw them, but unfortunately, they killed their own people, not the treasure army.

They didn't have the ability to rush up and cut down the treasure army, and in desperation, seeing that the overall situation had been decided, they could only quickly flee back to the camp.

Fortunately, the Jiannu soldiers did not all run around, and nearly half of them ran to the camp.

In this kind of ice and snow, running into the wilderness, there is no food, and you can only starve to death.

If there were no Jiannu cavalry in front of them, many people would kneel down and surrender to the treasure army on the spot, mutiny on the spot, these puppet army forces have no combat effectiveness, let alone the will to fight.

At this time, Huang Taiji, who stayed in the camp, hurriedly asked Ming Jin to withdraw his troops.

After a slight hesitation, the soldier was stabbed to death by the decisive Huang Taiji.

Huang Taiji personally struck the iron piece.

Ding, ding, ding!

The sound of rapid gold was heard, and all the Jiannu on the battlefield rushed back together as if they had been pardoned.

Two cavalry companies of the Bao army arrived first and slashed before the infantry.

It's a pity that the distance of slashing and killing is too short, a distance of one or two miles, and Jiannu has already entered the camp.

The gate of the large camp was too small for tens of thousands of people to pass through, and many wanted to climb over the tall fence and be caught up and hacked to death by the treasure cavalry, or finally find a chance to surrender on their knees.

The infantry of the treasure army was also pressed on all fronts.

The two sides were stuck together, and Huang Taiji knew very well that the camp could not be defended, so he could only order: "Quickly escort the Great Khan to evacuate!" Raise the banner of the Great Khan, run to the northwest together, and run to the desert! Bypass the Xiaoling River and go to Uiju! ”

Dai Shan also urged the pro-soldiers to do what Huang Taiji said.

In this way, the treasure army kept killing and wounding Jiannu outside the camp of Jiannu, collecting the prisoners of Jiannu, and fleeing in the camp of Jiannu in an emergency.
