[154] The two red flags retreated

The first horse of the Ming Dynasty [154] The two red flags retreated

Seeing that the river reclamation was blocked, Shuotuo and Adali still showed the true face of Jiannu's ferocity, and they sent Jiannu cavalry to drive the Liao people to continue to fill the river under the fierce artillery fire of the Ming army

Ma San is a native of Dezhou, Shandong. At the moment he was wearing a tattered jacket and carrying a wooden shovel in his hand. Desperately shoveling the soil, although there were constant gunshots and shouts from the side, he didn't care, as if he was crazy, he kept shoveling the soil. He silently told himself in his heart that he was caught here by a house slave from his hometown in Shandong. Hungry, even the flesh of the dead has been eaten, and what is there to be afraid of. Think about the promise of the two high-ranking officials of Jiannu before the war, fill up the river, break the enemy army, and everyone can get a bucket of food. That's a bucket, not only can I eat enough, but I can also take care of my family. Thinking of this, Ma San's heart was hot, thinking about his mother and sister who fled with him, the younger sister was only twelve years old, thin as skin and bones, and she couldn't see a few grains of grain for three meals a day, only some melons and vegetables and other local things, this thing was not hungry, and after eating it for half an hour, it was all gone, and her stomach was croaking. 1。 Thinking of his sister's withered and thin hands that were almost skeletons, Wang Sanpao gritted his teeth, dug up more and more frantically, and sang the horn of labor in a thick Shandong accent, but he didn't expect him to sing this, and the people around him also sang one after another, there are Runing dialects, Henan dialects, Nanyang flavors, and from time to time the taste of Shanxi old vinegar pops out, the singing is getting louder and louder, and the momentum seems to overshadow the guns and cannons of the Ming army opposite

Although the Ming musketeers on the other side of the Qinghe River had long been trained to be numb to life and death, they saw those Liao people shouting and rushing up, as if they had forgotten life and death. 6。 One by one, they fell to the ground, but the song became louder and louder, and those Liao people seemed not to be on the battlefield at all, but to stay in their own homes, waving farm tools unwillingly, working hard for their families and dreams. In front of this strange picture, there were still ripples in the hearts of the Ming soldiers, especially when they heard that many people in the song had a strong Shandong accent. Some loaders and shooters were affected by their emotions, some of them were in a hurry to place their guns, some forgot to load their primers, and the frequency of musket firing was significantly reduced

The passage on the Qinghe River became four zhang wider, and when Shuo Tuo saw that the width of the passage was almost wide, he shouted loudly: "Baturu of the two red flags, rush across the Qinghe River and kill all those southern barbarians, and the armor on their bodies is yours; The purse that is in them is yours; The women on their kang are yours too. 2。 Baturu with two red flags, hurry up and rush that wow"

The Jiannu cavalry roared, and then the horses' hooves rumbled, the sound shook the earth, the torrent of iron hooves rolling from the south poured into the mountains and the sea, and the Liao people who were still in the river crossing channel and had no time to withdraw were trampled under the horses' hooves by the Jiannu iron hooves, and the Qinghe River suddenly became a "red" river

The soldiers of the Ming army were furious, and the shame of being forced to slaughter their compatriots suddenly turned into anger, and one after another Migne bullets roared out, ruthlessly harvesting the filthy soul of Jiannu

The Jiannu cavalry, galloping on horseback, was already close to madness, screaming hysterically and brandishing their weapons as if they had inexhaustible strength in their bodies, and the wooden fence was twenty paces ahead. 7。 Look at it at your fingertips. By the time those wooden fences are removed, the firecrackers behind them will not be worth mentioning. Military exploits, money, and beautiful women seem to be right in front of them

A Jiannu cavalry roared again

The other Jiannu cavalry also roared in unison

This torrent of steel seems unstoppable

At this moment, some sharp-eyed Jiannu cavalry saw that in the gap between the wooden fences, the Ming army launched many not very large caliber artillery, and there was one such small cannon in the entire wooden fence, almost twenty paces apart. 9。

Boom, boom, boom

The Petit Franc cannon roared angrily, like thunder. Tens of thousands of lead bullets fired from the muzzles of the guns turned the area from the wooden fence to the river into a death zone with a steel storm raging. The Jiannu cavalry, which had just rushed to the shore and had not had time to disperse in formation, seemed to be swept by a huge death scythe out of thin air after a loud noise, and instantly swept a large area. The cavalry at the front were beaten into a sieve by high-speed shotguns, even men and horses, and were covered in bloody holes. There are also powdered bones that were directly beaten by the shrapnel and turned into a mess of meat sauce.

Before the smoke of artillery fire had yet to disperse, the musketeers began to shoot continuously, and the area that the Ming army had only seen on the south bank of the Qing River was filled with the so-called "battlefield fog", and it was not clear from that direction. 4。 In the smoke of gunpowder, Jiannu and the Ming soldiers couldn't see each other clearly. It's just that Jiannu kept hearing the loud sound of firearms firing from the opposite side, and the Ming soldiers just shot at the place where people were shouting and neighing

After about a stick of incense, the Ming musketeers, who had been shooting straight to the barrels of the four muskets, had to stop firing. And the sound of the people on the other side shouting and neighing seems to have become sparse, from near to far.

The sun was already about to set, and a northwest wind blew, and the smoke quickly dissipated. Between the horses and the banks of the river, there was nothing but the corpses of men and horses, and the river, which had become more and more purple in color, gradually slowed down to the part that had been filled.

Jiannu's cavalry had already retreated to the north bank of the Qing River, and now, among the piles of corpses in front of the numb Ming army, several people struggled to crawl out from below. 9。 Almost all of these people turned red all over their bodies, and the whole person seemed to be bloody. The Anahai who was in the red flag was a lucky one, or rather an unfortunate one, he was squirming on the ground, the cannon just now, the cannon was too scattered, and it happened to hit his thigh, but the upper body was not much trouble.

He and a few of his companions didn't seem to realize that there were only a few of them on the battlefield between dozens of paces. They lowered their heads and picked up their weapons, some of them got their swords, but others just touched a stone and stumbled towards the rejection of the horse.

"Speed" may be that these people's voices are hoarse, but they are still shouting and charging, and they are staggering to the ground. 5。

The musketeers behind the horses were still skillfully cooling their muskets, and there was a wooden barrel behind each vertical row, in which were thrown a few pieces of wet cloth, and the musketeers took the wet cloth and wiped it on the chamber of the gun. The damp cloth rubbed against the chamber of the gun, sizzling, and even white gas came out. Many of the musketeers had even reloaded, but perhaps they had been infected by something, and instead of firing at the Anasea, they watched as the men rushed to the horses.

Several musketeers drew their bayonets from their waists and skillfully inserted them into the muzzle mounts, and before Anahai and the others could make any moves, several muskets stabbed out from the gap in the wooden fence, and then quickly retracted with the blood arrows that had been shot out of them. In the middle of this stretch, the last few Jiannu soldiers who charged were pierced and fell in front of the rejection horse, and before Anahai died, his hand still grabbed the root and foot of the rejection horse, and no one will remember whether he was called Anahai or Sunahai. 4。

The whole battlefield was quiet, only the war horses were still snorting to themselves

"The morale of the army has been frustrated, let's withdraw the troops!" Just when Shuoto and Adali were losing to the point of being overwhelmed gamblers, a middle-aged man in white cotton armor did not know when he appeared next to Shuoto and Adalee

"Uncle Twelve, why did you come?" Shuoto was anxious and angry

"You two silly boys," said Azig, "you are not far from dead, and you are still here like a brute." Zilharang said in an unquestioning tone: "I repeat, withdraw the troops!" ”

"Where to retreat? Gaizhou? Shuoto asked

"It's not Haizhou, Gaizhou can't be defended, and it's not worth defending. 4。 Zilharang said

"However, even if we lose Fuzhou and Gaizhou, we are really not far from death!" Shuoto shook his head

"What can save your lives is the strength of the two red flags. If you put together the two red flags here, you will really die," Azig said, "Do you want to bargain Hauge for nothing? ”

"Cheap Hauge?" Shuoto was puzzled: "Why is it cheap Hauge?" ”

Azig was almost speechless to the two juniors, and he said: "Haoge wants the two weakest red flags to fight the Nanban, just to make you stumble. The two red flags will either fight to the death with the Southern Barbarians, or they will stand on the side of Hauge and support him as emperor. ”

"I see," Adali suddenly realized

The old servants of the "little master" Prince Li's family also arrived in the dust

"Merge, what are you doing here?" Adali asked

The old servant who was called Morji hurriedly took out a letter, "The prince ordered the old slave to report to the two little masters, and let the two little masters quickly return to Xingjing (Hetuala) to ask for their guilt!" ”

"Please?" Shuo Tuo opened the letter and looked at it, his face changed greatly, "Hauge, it's really Hauge!" ”

Azig took the letter and looked at it, and his face changed, "When will Hauge, this flurry boy, also use this method?" It must have been a bad idea from Sony's old puppeteers. If you lose Jinzhou and Fuzhou, you will be punished, and now it is difficult to protect Gaizhou, hum, Hauge, you kid"

Shuoto hurriedly bowed down to Azig and said, "Uncle save me"

Azig said: "If you don't want to save you, I won't come, now withdraw the troops first"

Shuo Tuo was a little at a loss, "In case the Southern Barbarian Tail chases and kills, wouldn't it be a big mess?" ”

Azig said patiently: "It is difficult for you to cross the Qing River, is it easy for the Southern Barbarians?" If you withdraw yours, if the southern barbarian dares to cross the Qing River, I will make him look good with a white flag. ”

"Thank you, uncle" Adali and Shuotuo hurriedly ordered the two red flags to retreat in the direction of Haizhou [154] The two red flags retreated
