Chapter 609: Golden State Blocking Battle (Part II)

The five thousand and eight banner iron cavalry rushed towards the battlefield at great speed, regardless of whether it was the Ming army or the Qing army in front, rows of arrows flew towards the soldiers on both sides who were fighting fiercely.

Wang Zhaoxing stood at the back of the team and raised his command knife high: "The three armies, rush up against the Tartars, shorten the distance and fight in close combat." ”

Infantry fights cavalry, there is no way to do it. The 5,000 Yulin Army and the 10,000 fast rifle team were all flintlock pistols in their hands, and the range was far inferior to rifled guns. And now it has become a stalemate, and there is no way to line up at all.

Xu Tianbin stood at the gap and stared at everything on the battlefield, just now Wang Zhaoxing said nothing to let him out, and forcibly left him inside the long wall.

"Sir." A voice sounded behind Xu Tianbin.

Xu Tianbin looked back and saw a young captain standing behind him. Behind the captain stood four hundred soldiers of the same age, all of whom wore not stand-up epaulettes but lapel collar badges. Most people don't have stars on their badges, just a red bar.

Four hundred cadets of the Yulin Bay Military Academy.

"Sir, the independent battalion of the Yulin Bay Military Academy has asked to fight." The captain shouted.

"Don't go to war, disband." Xu Tianbin ordered loudly.

The captain still insisted: "Sir, we are also the Yulin Army, Commander Wang is fighting bloodily, we can't sit on the sidelines, and the independent battalion asks to fight." ”

"You are all children, and you are all good seedlings of our Yulin Army in the future." Xu Tianbin said slowly, "The situation outside can still be maintained, and it is not yet time for you to fight." ”

The captain wanted to say something, but Leng Tianbing hurriedly ran over: "Tian Bin, the situation is not good, Wang Zhaoxing is surrounded." ”

Xu Tianbin was taken aback, and looked in the direction of Leng Tianbing's finger, there were only more than 2,000 Yulin troops around Wang Zhaoxing, and they formed a big circle back to back. Outside of them were no less than 5,000 Manchu infantry, and outside the infantry were more than 1,000 cavalry.

"Sir." The captain shouted again, "My subordinates will bring an independent battalion to reinforce Commander Wang." ”

Leng Tianbing didn't discuss with Xu Tianbin: "Captain, I order you to lead the independent battalion to quickly reinforce Chief Wang, and rescue Chief Wang at any cost." I'm going to discuss with Zhang Shujie and let his god machine camp go out. ”

"Yes, sir." The captain raised the military flag in his hand high, "Brothers, the Yulin Army will never give up any brother, follow this battle flag, and attack with me." ”

Blood-like battle flags were fluttering high, and the four hundred student troops were lined up in four columns, marching forward to the beat of the drum according to the drill code.

Xu Tianbin's fists were clenched tightly, these four hundred children had no combat experience at all, including the captain officer. Now that the battlefield has become a melee, they are still following the rules.

The outer cavalry besieging Wang Zhaoxing divided two or three hundred people and rushed towards the student army.

The captain put the general's flag tree on the ground: "Stop advancing, the first platoon raises its guns and shoots." ”

Four rows of guns rang out, and the Eight Banners cavalry was not knocked down a few. Instead, a row of heavy arrows slashed through the sky and shot down several student troops.

The distance between the two sides quickly narrowed to a few tens of meters, and another row of heavy arrows flew over.

The captain was in a hurry, and now it was too late to reload. The captain leveled his battle flag and shouted, "Brothers, charge." ”

The four rows of phalanx disbanded, and the student army, armed with flintlock muskets loaded with bayonets, rushed forward against the cavalry of the Eight Banners. The cavalry of the Eight Banners did not hedge against them, but turned their horses and walked around behind them from the side of the student army.

"Turn back, turn back, the Tartar is behind." The captain shouted desperately, but he had not forgotten that he must not leave his back to the enemy.

Wang Zhaoxing was secretly anxious, his more than 2,000 people could at least carry the peripheral Tartars for an hour. Fortunately, now the four hundred children have been dragged again, they have come to save themselves, and now they can only save them. How did Xu Tianbin do it, how could he send these children who had no combat experience alone.

Wang Zhaoxing didn't have time to think about it anymore, and shouted loudly: "Order, erect the commander's banner, blow the rallying horn, and order all the troops to move closer to the banner." We charged south to join the student army. ”

All the Ming troops were desperately moving towards Wang Zhaoxing's banner, and the two thousand Yulin troops were also trying to kill in the direction of those student armies step by step.

A rapid drum beat sounded behind the Eight Banners, and Huang Taiji sent out all the remaining cavalry and infantry, leaving only more than a thousand direct guards by his side.

Huang Taiji saw that the Ming army on the opposite side was quite combative, and it should be the Yulin Army and the Quick Gun Team. Defeat them at once, and the remaining Ming troops will not be able to survive. Huang Taiji is also desperate, and he must not let these Ming troops gather and withdraw to the long wall. If you want to regain Lushun, you must annihilate them here.

The overwhelming array of more than 40,000 Eight Banners rushed towards the Ming army, which was less than 20,000 people. Wang Zhaoxing had gathered three or four thousand people around him, but several charges were blocked by the cavalry of the Eight Banners. The student army is getting smaller and smaller, and dozens of people have already died in battle. Wang Zhaoxing's heart was secretly cold, how to explain to his family when he went back, and how to explain to the families of these children.

Leng Tianbing and Xu Tianbin both stood by Zhang Shujie's side: "General Zhang, everyone must be sent out now, otherwise none of our people will come back." ”

Zhang Shujie was hesitating, the only one who could fight was his own Shenji battalion, and it was useless to send Shandong soldiers. But it seems that the fast gun team is over, if the Shenji battalion is exhausted again, then will Chongzhen condemn himself, his chief soldier has just been a few days old, will he have to be a deputy general.

Zhang Shujie was still hesitating, and suddenly a team of several hundred people rushed into the battlefield under the wall. Feng Kaizhong led his more than 600 people to join the battle without saying a word.

"General Zhang." Xu Tianbin's hand was on the handcuff on his waist, and he didn't attack Lao Tzu and turned his face with you.

Zhang Shujie didn't notice Xu Tianbin's movements, and looked at the rear of the battlefield with two blank eyes: "Two generals, look over there." ”

A loud trumpet came from afar, and the shining busts and Cossack scimitars rushed towards the location of the Emperor Taiji.

Xu Lang and Gao Chen ran in the middle of the team, and Xu Langping held a rifled gun from Han Wantao and shouted: "Brothers of the cavalry regiment, under the umbrella cover of Huang Luo is the thief chief Taiji, kill the emperor Taiji." ”

Seven thousand Yulin troops and five thousand Zheng Zhilong's men sat on the Daming Fu ship for a few days, and they encountered this big battle as soon as they arrived in Jinzhou. Han Wantao and Xu Lang quickly divided the labor after seeing the situation on the battlefield clearly, everyone landed outside the long wall, Xu Lang led the cavalry regiment to rush Huang Taiji, and only by attracting back the eight banners on the battlefield could the siege of Wang Zhaoxing be solved. Han Wantao led the infantry to take advantage of the retreat of the Eight Banners to block the Eight Banners and the Ming army, and used the advantage of rifled guns to cover Wang Zhaoxing's withdrawal to the long wall. After Xu Lang attracted the Eight Banners to retreat, he quickly retreated to the seaside, and re-mounted the fortune boat to land behind the long wall.

The gong sounded beside Huang Taiji, and the Eight Banners soldiers on the battlefield all found that the cavalry of the 1,000 Yulin Army was sneaking up on Huang Taiji. More than 40,000 Eight Banners began to retreat like a tide, and the credit for saving the driver was far greater than breaking through the Golden State defense line.

Seeing that the goal had been achieved, Xu Lang turned the horse's head and blew vigorously with the copper whistle on his chest. The cavalry regiment took advantage of the fact that the eight banners that had returned had not returned, and they rode their horses and ran towards the coast.

More than 10,000 infantry took advantage of the situation and ran into the battlefield, the Yulin army was in front, and 5,000 people lined up in the back to form a large phalanx to cover the Ming army behind and slowly retreated. The few Eight Banners cavalry who still wanted to continue the charge were ruthlessly knocked off their horses by rifled guns.

The Jinzhou defense line was finally held, and the battle was very hard, and the Yulin army suffered a total of more than 400 casualties, of which nearly 200 were student soldiers of the independent battalion of the military academy. The first 3,000 Ming troops returned less than 1,000, and the quick-gun team also suffered nearly 1,000 casualties. The unarmored infantry on the Manchu side was wiped out by 2,000, but their elite cavalry suffered almost no losses, and the infantry still couldn't fight the cavalry.
