Volume 8 Chapter 48 Hauge Runs Away
These Ming troops are simply crazy, there are only more than 30,000 people in total, and they dare to charge against their own army of more than 100,000!
At first, Haoge was a little unimpressed, even if the Ming army had muskets and artillery, they were in the wilderness not in the city, 30,000 to their own more than 100,000, let him let go of the killing, how many can he kill, the turtles huddled together and used the chariot to defend is almost the same, dare to charge, looking for death?
He saw that the Ming army was less than two hundred steps away from the Han Eight Banner infantry, and immediately ordered without hesitation: "Order, the Han Eight Banner infantry, Yue Tuo, you are ready to lead the right wing of the Eight Banner infantrymen to support, once they are mixed together, the muskets and artillery will be scrapped, and when the time comes, you will take the opportunity to rush up, and you will definitely be able to defeat this Ming army." ”
He is letting the Han Eight Banner foot soldiers to block the muzzle, which is really a bit cruel, but Yue Tuo thinks this is a very good tactic, the Han Eight Banner foot soldiers are originally cannon fodder, there is nothing to pity, besides, there is no mercy in the war, if he can win, let him lead the right-wing Eight Banner foot soldiers to block the gun hole, he will also will.
When the Han Eight Banner foot soldiers received the order, they did not dare to resist anything, and directly ordered their foot soldiers to rush towards the Ming army's chariot formation.
Do you dare to rush up, not afraid of death?
Seeing this, Zhang Bin coldly ordered: "Order the whole army to stop advancing, the vehicle formation is closed, and the defense is on the spot, the artillery is immediately bombarded with artillery, and the cavalry is ready to support." ”
A burst of flags waved, just now the Ming army was still charging suddenly stopped, but the gunfire did not stop, the distance of two hundred steps for the Han Eight Banner foot soldiers is like a moat, they rushed up, and row after row was put down, rushed for a while, only to be able to narrow the distance between the two sides to about 100 steps.
At this time, the archers in the back row had already begun to release arrows, but the front row of the Fuguang army was protected by chariots, and the rain of arrows did not hurt them much, so they could only face the rain of bullets and bullets, and pushed forward with difficulty.
After about a stick of incense, seeing that the distance was only more than fifty steps, it would soon be able to enter the Ming army car formation, but a burst of artillery roar suddenly sounded behind the Ming army car formation.
"Boom, boom, boom", 200 shells smashed down, and a small hole suddenly appeared in the Han Eight Banners array, and within dozens of steps of the shells landing, more than 100 people, almost none of them survived, and they were all bombarded.
So much artillery!
Haoge panicked for a while, however, he did not order to stop the attack, although the Han Eight Banner infantry suffered heavy losses, but they were already very close to the Ming army's car formation, very close, as long as they rushed up and fought in a melee, the 30,000 Ming troops would be dead.
He stared coldly at the battlefield, gritted his teeth and said, "Yue Tuo, prepare to charge." ”
Hearing this, Yue Tuo nodded calmly, then pulled out his long knife, raised his knife and shouted: "The four flags of the right wing are ready." ”
As soon as his words fell, thousands of Ming army chariots suddenly appeared in the south of Jinzhou City, "Kill!" The earth-shattering shouts of killing sounded, and more than 20,000 Ming troops rushed directly towards them.
Yue Tuo's hand holding the knife trembled, so that he was choked to death by this shouting of killing, he looked at Haoge anxiously, obviously asking the big brother, whether to rush to the right or to the left.
The equipment of the 20,000 Ming troops rushing over from the south of the city and the Ming army in the north of the city is obviously the same, if they let them fire muskets and artillery two hundred steps away, they don't know how many men and horses they will lose in vain.
Haoge naturally understands this truth, but he doesn't want the Meng Eight Banner Infantry to fight as hard as the Han Eight Banner Foot Soldiers, this is his family background, and it will cost at least a small half of the men and horses to kill the 20,000 Ming troops who rushed over.
Also, the Han Eight Banners over there are obviously no match for the 30,000 Ming troops in the north of the city, and when the 30,000 Ming troops pack up the Han Eight Banners and then rush up, the outcome is still unknown.
Moreover, there is also a Mao Wenlong in Jinzhou City who is good at sneak attacks, and if he wants to lead the army out again to insert a lever, he will lose.
Haoge thought anxiously for a while, and finally gritted his teeth and said: "Order, let the Han Eight Banner foot soldiers retreat and block this Ming army, Yue Tuo, let's retreat!" ”
"Ahh , Yue Tuo couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, just about to ask him to charge, but suddenly asked him to retreat, he really couldn't react for a while.
Seeing this, Hauge directly turned the horse's head and shouted at the back: "Everyone listen to the order, turn around on the spot, and withdraw!" ”
A trumpet sounded, and the 60,000 Eight Banner Foot Soldiers quickly turned around and ran towards the rear in a neat manner.
Yue Tuo looked at the Han Eight Banner foot soldiers who were running towards this side in a panic, sighed slightly, and then turned the horse's head and ran backwards with Haoge.
At this time, more than half of the Han Eight Banner infantry soldiers were beaten by musket bullets and howled miserably on the ground, and there were less than 20,000 people who could run over to intercept Cao Wenzhao, Cao Wenzhao naturally led the army to rush forward without hesitation, and on the north side of the city, Feng Shuangli, Ma Yuanli and Zhang Hualong, who were commanding in front of the battle, turned their heads to look at Zhang Bin in unison.
They are all waiting for Zhang Bin's order, whether to put a war horse on the chariot and chase the 60,000 Eight Banner foot soldiers, or directly surround it and annihilate the remaining Han Eight Banner foot soldiers?
Zhang Bin glanced at the battlefield with a little binocular, and then ordered: "Order, Feng Shuangli, Ma Yuanli, and Zhang Hualong lead the army to surround and annihilate the Han Eight Banner foot soldiers first." ”
At this time, some of the Eight Banner foot soldiers of the Han Dynasty had already begun to flee to the northeast, and if they were not afraid that their master would cut them all, they would probably have run away behind the Eight Banner foot soldiers.
If he leads the army to the middle and blocks the connection between the Manchu Eight Banners and the Han Eight Banners, these Han Eight Banner foot soldiers will definitely not hesitate to run behind them, so that they will be sandwiched into pork belly, and the 30,000 troops led by themselves are equivalent to being sandwiched between the Han Eight Banners and the Manchu Eight Banners.
This battle is already in sight, there is no need to put yourself in danger, anyway, there is an army of 50,000 led by Li Dingguo in front of him, in history, he can be a famous king in the face of adversity like Nanming, and he can shock the world, now, such a good situation, can he not do two hairs without growing Baylor?
Haoge and Yue Tuo will definitely not be able to run, this Zhang Bin is not worried at all, so he decided to pack up these Han Eight Banner foot soldiers first and join forces with Cao Wenzhao.
In fact, at this time, the Han Eight Banner Foot Soldiers have long lost their fighting spirit, they are just as Zhang Bin thought, if they were not afraid that the big brother Haoge would be crazy and cut people, they would have run behind the Eight Banner Foot Soldiers, at this time Feng Shuangli, Ma Yuanli and Zhang Hualong led the army to surround again, they threw away their weapons one after another, raised their hands, anyway, the master fled, what to fight.
Seeing this scene, Zhang Bin immediately ordered: "Order, Zhang Hualong led his 10,000 men to immediately go forward to collect the prisoners, guard them on the spot, and order Cao Wenzhao and Cao Bianjiao to come and assemble the army." ”
Although the battle on his side ended quickly, it also took nearly two quarters of an hour, and with the time to assemble the troops, nearly half an hour passed.
At this time, Haoge led the army out more than ten miles away, and he couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief when he saw that the Ming army had not caught up, fortunately he ran fast, otherwise he was afraid that his family would be lost here.
