Chapter 39: The Eight Banners of Mongolia

This time Dolgon and Yue Tuo divided the two Qing troops into the customs, the purpose is to enter the Ming Dynasty to rob, and along the way, they have really gained a lot, and now they have robbed more than a few million silver in various parts of Jingfu (part of it was confiscated, of course, some of it fell into the hands of the Tartar soldiers!). It's always a minority that is confiscated! Tens of thousands of large livestock of all kinds (horses), more than 100,000 young men and women, so they can be said to be robbing happily along the way, but they never thought that what they robbed would be robbed, and this joke was big!

After Dolgon and Yue Tuo led their troops south, they joined forces in Tongzhou, and some of the looted materials and slaves were placed in Tongzhou by them, but because they wanted to continue to plunder southward, they were worried that these materials and slaves would be snatched back by the Ming army, so after going south, they ordered Du Du to lead the men and horses with red flags to escort these materials and slaves and all kinds of plundered large livestock, grain and other things to the south, in their opinion, only they robbed the Ming Dynasty's share, and it was not the turn of the Ming Dynasty to rob them. The red flag is intimate, and it can basically be said to be foolproof.

Therefore, when Dolgon and Yue Tuo gathered troops in Julu and wanted to encircle and annihilate Lu Xiangsheng's department, they ordered Du Du to lead his troops to station in the area of Neiqiu, guarding these materials, and at the same time continuing to plunder around Neiqiu, but what they never expected was that on the third day after the end of the Battle of Julu, Du Du in the area of Neiqiu encountered a sudden attack by a Xingtian army.

Du Du didn't get the warning of Dolgon and Yue Tuo in advance, so he didn't know that there was such a force in this area, although the sentinel also found some traces of the Xingtian army, but it didn't attract Du Du's enough attention, so when the more than 4,000 Xingtian soldiers and horses suddenly appeared in front of them, Du Du didn't think that these more than 4,000 Xingtian army would pose any threat to them.

He didn't even look at the Xingtian army that was killing them with his eyes, he just sent more than 1,000 people and horses of the Mongolian Zhenghong Banner under his control to intercept the Xingtian army that was killing them.

As a result, it is obvious that the Mongolian cavalry cannot stop the soldiers and horses of the Xingtian army led by Luo Li and Li Xin, even these Mongolian cavalry are also very brave, and their riding skills are even better than the Jurchen warriors, but their tactics are still the kind of tactics used by nomads for hundreds or even thousands of years, of course, they can't get any good fruit in front of the Xingtian army.

Luo Li's horizontal sword immediately entered the formation, glanced at Li Xin, and said with a smile: "Is this the Tartar soldier?" Just such a few people, think we are an official army? It's too much to underestimate us! ”

Li Xin looked at it carefully and then shook his head and said: "If I'm not mistaken, this should be the Mongolian soldiers of the Mongolian Eight Banners, and they came today, they really underestimated Luo Dutong!" ”

Luo Li and Li Xin have been cooperating for a long time, and they both understand each other's tempers, Luo Li smiled and said, "Senator Li is polite!" It's not that my Lao Luo has the ability, it's that our handsome man has the ability, I think I was just a small Zhuang Ding at the beginning, I know how much ability I have Lao Luo! Here it comes! This side will be handed over to Senator Li, and I will be in charge of the cavalry! Let's beat them hard first! ”

When the two of them spoke, the soldiers and horses of the Mongolian Red Banner were killed in front of them, these Mongolian Eight Banners soldiers were indeed good at riding, when they came, they began to change horses, and they did not even get off the ground, so they jumped on the back of their war horses, leaving their side horses, and quickly gathered together, one by one they took off their bows and arrows from the saddle, and began to urge the war horses to rush towards the Xingtian Army.

These Mongol soldiers are not inferior to the Jurchen soldiers if they talk about their personal combat skills, and even whether it is riding archery or horsemanship, they are all surpassed, the reason why they were conquered by the Houjin Tartars, mainly because of their internal disunity, after being included in the Houjin, they were also compiled into the Mongolian Eight Banners, but in terms of strength, their Eight Banners can not be compared with any Tartar Eight Banners, but for their status, they are similar to the Han soldiers who surrendered to the Tartars, and they are mostly used as cannon fodder when they go out, And they are also happy to be driven to be gunmen, after all, they can also make a lot of benefits by following the Houjin Tartars into the Kou, so it is not ambiguous to go into battle to fight.

This group of Mongolian cavalry roared and pounced on the large array of the Xingtian Army, with their tactics, and the tactics of the Houjin cavalry are similar, that is, first rely on cavalry shooting on the periphery of the enemy's infantry formation to constantly harass the enemy, and the Ming army is precisely because of the poor military discipline, lack of fighting spirit, for such a tactic that has been used by the Mongols for hundreds of years is stunned, often unbearable, soon began to appear chaotic, and then the Mongolian cavalry launched a surprise attack, one blow to disperse the Ming army, and the rest only needs to chase and kill the Ming army all over the mountains.

It's a pity that they didn't meet the Ming army today, but the Xingtian army, the Xingtian army is best at forming a formation and confronting the enemy, the military discipline is strict, the strength of the soldiers' endurance, are far from being comparable to the vast majority of the Ming army nowadays, needless to say in terms of equipment, the Xingtian army has nearly half of the combat barracks have achieved firearms, and the strong firepower output capacity is not within the reach of the ordinary Ming army.

So Luo Li didn't worry about it at all, so he handed over the command of the infantry to Li Xin, and he, a war maniac, ran to the cavalry battalion to do the business that he liked to do the most!

Li Xin was also familiar with Luo Li's temperament, so he was not polite, nodded and took over the command of the battle barracks, and as soon as he gave the order, the firecrackers began to load and stepped forward, forming a dense formation on the four corners of the phalanx, and rows of self-made fires began to be laid down, and before these Mongolian cavalry rushed into the range of their cavalry bows, they began to concentrate fire.

In the face of the five-stage attack of the Xingtian Army, this group of Mongolian cavalry can be regarded as unlucky, the fifty steps of the cavalry bow firing distance, has become their forbidden place of death, each row of fire salvo, there are double-digit Mongolian cavalry will be knocked over with people and horses to the ground, for a time the Mongolian soldiers and horses of the neighing and screaming sound resounded throughout the battlefield.

It was only after each of the front-line musketeers fired three rounds that these Mongolian soldiers with the Red Banner of Mongolia were beaten stupidly, where had they been killed and injured like this when they followed their master into the Kou all these years! Although they are also compiled according to Niu Lu Jiala, but their establishment is much smaller than the Tartar Eight Banners of the Eight Classics, and they can't afford to kill and injure so many people like being cut rice at once, and once they lose too much, they will not be able to recover for a long time after they go back, including their banner owners will fall sharply, so the fighting will of the Mongolian Eight Banners can't catch up with the Eight Banners of the Tartars, seeing the Xingtian Army like a volcanic eruption, The warriors in their banner fell off their horses one by one, and the Mongolian Jialazhang Jingdang, who led his troops, was frightened and shouted, calling for his horses to lead his troops to escape.

Luo Li saw that this group of Mongolian cavalry was about to escape, and knew that this was his chance to attack, so he raised his big sword to the sky, and he screamed and led a battalion of cavalry to kill it, and these cavalry of the Xingtian Army are also elite, and their riding skills are not necessarily bad. One by one, they all shouted and urged their mounts, and they jumped out like flies, only to chase the Mongolian cavalry.

This time it was a bitter for this group of Mongolian cavalry, they had just suffered a shot from the Xingtian Army, they were already frightened, and then they were chased by Luo Li and the cavalry chased a horse title horsetail, these cavalry of the Xingtian Army in line with the idea of beating the water dogs, they did not tolerate it at all, and it can be said that they used all their skills on horseback, first they pulled out the self-generated fire handcuffs that had already been loaded, and fired at the Mongolian cavalry. Even if the projectile could not penetrate the armor of the Tartar soldiers, the killing area was very large, and some of the Mongol cavalry fell off their horses with screams even if they were beaten all over the face, and then the cavalrymen threw their javelins and throwing axes, and stabbed them with spears when they approached, and drew their swords and slashed when they lost their spears.

And Luo Li, the war maniac, was the first to rush and kill, and the large swords in his hands were dancing up and down, and these Mongolian cavalry almost had almost no generals under him, and they were all cut down by him.

Luo Li did not pursue desperately, he fell in love with the Mongolian soldiers left in the distance at a glance, and after killing these Mongolian cavalry, he immediately led his troops to kill the group of war horses, and the Mongolian soldiers also left some generals to take care of these war horses, but where could they stop Luo Li, a gang of fierce gods, from snatching horses! As a result, they were killed by Luo Li in a short time, and the cavalry of the Xingtian Army circled back the more than 1,000 Mongolian Tartar horses, and also brought back the war horses that had no owners on the battlefield, and the result was a contact battle, so they grabbed thousands of war horses, and Luo Li was happy, and at the same time, the morale of the generals under his command was greatly boosted, and the fear of the Tartars was less, and the momentum chased in the direction of the Mongolian cavalry fleeing.

Du Du listened to the cry of the Mongolian Jialazhangjing who fled back, and immediately became angry, originally he thought that sending this group of Mongolian soldiers and horses with the red flag would be enough to solve this group of enemies, but he didn't expect to go to more than 1,000 Mongolian cavalry, but more than half of the Mongolian cavalry came back, and half of the men and horses of the Mongolian Zhenghong Banner were lost to others, and even their deputy horses were captured by the enemy. Beat this guy to the point that he was covered in blood, and he fainted on the spot before he stopped his hand, if it weren't for the Mongolian Zhenghongqi Gushan Ezhen Engetu to intercede, Du Du really wanted to be even if he beheaded this Engetu's subordinate.
