Chapter 319 The Liao army attacked
The high-speed spherical iron projectile struck the Houjin people and horses, and immediately broke their bones and tendons, separated their flesh and bones, and torn them apart.
The internal organs, minced meat were sprinkled all over the floor.
"Minggou's artillery fire is fierce, retreat quickly."
The Houjin cavalry wanted to shoot vigorously with strong bows, because the Jingbian Fort army was protected by chariots and heavy armor, and it was impossible to fight in close combat, because the artillery fire on the head and below the city of Dalinghe was too strong and too dense to get close at all.
There was no choice but to retreat.
After that, because the Jin soldiers were in a hurry, they couldn't take away the corpses of the dead officers and soldiers, which naturally became the trophies of the Ming army.
The Jingbian Fort army, which happened to be under the city, happily went to cut off its head.
The Liao army in the city saw that the Jingbianbao army cut off the head alone, but they were not very anxious, and they didn't even complain, after all, when they killed the Houjin soldiers, they also had artillery to help, and strictly speaking, they were also qualified to fight for merit.
However, they did not do this, but this was because they were currently eating the grain and grass provided by the Jingbianbao army, which was called eating people's mouths, so in the past, there was a very serious problem of merit competition between the Ming army, and there was no one between the Jingbianbao army and the Liao army.
If others don't want it, they should also make a gesture, and Liu Renyu believes that unity is more important than anything else.
Therefore, he generously said that all the heads captured in the raid can be counted as belonging to the Liao army.
As soon as Liu Renyu's words came out, the Liao army, regardless of the generals and soldiers, all had a good impression of the Jingbianbao army.
This kind of result is exactly what Liu Renyu wants, China's affairs, 99 percent of the bad in the infighting, everyone is unwilling to suffer, in order to get the maximum benefit of their own inevitable calculation of each other, in the end it is often everyone suffers a big loss, so the best way to deal with things is to suffer a little loss, so that others can get some benefits, so that in exchange for unity, unity can bring greater benefits.
It is said that at this time, the west and north of Dalinghe City are fighting very lively, which provokes the Liao army's fighting spirit, after all, the current heads are still given by the Jingbian Fort army out of friendship and affection, so far, the number of Jiannu killed by the Liao army alone is still zero.
For this fact, the Liao army was a little depressed.
Because the Jingbian Fort Army is not local to Liaodong, they all carry guns and cannons, and they always rush to the front line, killing the heads of the Jiannu people, which makes them put the faces of these natives of Liaodong where to rest.
For the sake of face and military merit, this battle must be fought.
Zu Dabi and Zhang Cunren each lit 300 elite soldiers, held back their strength, and waited until the city gate was opened, the drawbridge was lowered, and the wooden planks were paved, and they rushed straight to the Houjin Han people Aha who was still outside the city.
Although those Aha are still Han in blood, they are also slaves in Houjin, and those who are better mixed are also high-level slaves, and their hairstyles and clothes are no different from those of Jiannu Zhenyi, and it is okay to kill them as military merits.
Therefore, when the Liao army rushed towards these people, it was like an arrow from the string, without any scruples.
The Ming army attacked, and the Aha who was picking in Houjin naturally chose to avoid it as soon as possible.
"Run, the Southern Army is coming."
The Ahabs didn't care much at this time, so they threw away the tools and firewood in their hands one after another, and went into battle lightly, with the wind under their feet, intending to flee from the land of right and wrong.
Where can the Liao army let them get their wish.
The cavalry galloped much faster than the men ran on foot.
Before some Aha had time to run back to their own camps, the Liao officers and soldiers took off their strong bows, mounted arrows, and fired arrows one after another.
Pity those Ahha, all that can defend their flesh and blood is just a few coats, where can they stop the fierce arrows.
Many Aha were shot in the back by arrows and turned into a hornet's nest, suffering heavy casualties.
Of course, Houjin's side will not watch his own minions being beaten.
Soon, there were two blue flags and two white flags on Houjin's side, and cavalry were sent to battle.
Zu Dabi and Zhang Cunren saw that Jiannu Zhenyi was dispatched, and they did not love to fight, and retreated to the left of the ditch under the city.
Luring the enemy into the range of your cannon will maximize your advantage, and you can also calmly cut off the head of the enemy after killing and wounding the enemy, killing two birds with one stone.
On the Houjin side, Huang Taiji set a long-term siege strategy, and strictly ordered all departments that if the Ming army in Dalinghe City went out of the city to attack and harass, they could disperse them, and they should not be pursued to the city, so as not to be injured by the Ming army's artillery fire.
But when it really starts, who cares so much.
Although the other flags know that the Ming army has new weapons, but it is still inevitable to think that this is the blue flag itself useless, and it can't win the Ming army.
With such an idea, in addition to looking down on the positive blue flag, all the banners inevitably wanted to fight a few battles, defeat the Ming army, correct the name of the Eight Banners Army, and let the Ming army in the city know that the incompetent one is only the positive blue flag of Mang Gurtai, and the other flags are still very powerful.
As for the Zhenglan Banner, the defeat in the first battle has now become the laughing stock of several other flags, and even the outer Mongolians, when they look at them, the reverence in their eyes has faded a lot.
In such a situation, the Jurchens of the Zhenglan Banner were all on fire, and they wanted to kill the Ming Army to show the evil spirit in their hearts, and by the way, they would bring out the prestige of the Zhenglan Banner.
In this way, as soon as the two blue flags and two white flags besieging the city in the south and east saw the elite soldiers, they rushed out of their own camps and rushed straight to the Liao army.
The Houjin army and the Liao army fought in Liaodong for more than ten years, from Nurhachi to Huang Taiji, they were not too familiar with each other, and the people with the two blue flags and the two white flags knew that their opponent was just an ordinary Liao army, not a difficult Jingbianbao army.
Such a soft persimmon, don't pinch it at this time, but when?
However, the Houjin soldiers of the two white flags and the two blue flags wanted to fight with the Liao army, but this matter did not get a positive response from the Liao army.
Zu Dabi and Zhang Cunren saw that the Houjin soldiers were killed, and without saying a word, they ran to the left of their own city wall.
This made the Houjin soldiers of the two white flags and the two blue flags very injured, chase it, the Great Khan has a strict order, not to fight within the range of the Ming army's artillery, don't chase it, and I'm afraid that the Ming army will laugh.
After thinking about it, the Houjin officers and soldiers, who have always had a relatively simple brain structure, decided to chase down the city and fight with the Ming army who took the initiative for a while.
The consequences of offending the Great Khan are serious, but they are nothing compared to face, and when a new regime is full of vitality, what can impress the officials within the regime is, in general, dignity and honor.
The vast number of officers and men of the Ming Dynasty were pleased with this behavior of the Houjin Army.
Originally, Liu Renyu was afraid that the Liao army would not be able to support it, so he kindly wanted to send firecrackers to help, but he was severely rejected by Zu Dashou.
If the Jingbianbao army makes a move, how can the results of this battle be counted as secondary, the key is that this battle is not fought by the Liao army alone.
Liu Renyu saw that Zu Dashou refused very simply and resolutely, so he no longer insisted and let the Liao army go to fight the Houjin soldiers to the death.
They pursued the Liao army all the way to the side of the trench outside the city.
When the Liao artillery at the head of the city saw that the Jin soldiers entered their own firing range, they were naturally unceremonious, firing their cannons, and the archers also seized the opportunity to shoot arrows.
Cannonballs and arrows are intertwined into a net of fire, constantly attacking Houjin soldiers.
The Houjin soldiers continued to suffer casualties, but they were not afraid, after all, in the past, they often braved the Ming army's artillery fire, firearms, bows and arrows to attack, which was nothing.
The Liao army doesn't have to retreat anymore, it has the support of cannons and bows and arrows behind it, and if it retreats again, it will be too embarrassing.
So the Liao army stopped their horses one after another, stood in front of the planks erected on the trenches, and did not retreat.
"Mix them together and make their artillery and bows and arrows useless." Later, the deputy general of Jin, Meng Tan, gave an order, and the two blue banners and 200 soldiers set their horses to fight with Zu Dabi's troops.
Two white flags and three hundred soldiers fought with Zhang Cunren's troops.
