"Look, the Tartars are coming!" One of the lieutenants in charge of observation muttered across the river.

Gao Junshan stood in front of the command platform and ordered: "Without my order, no one is allowed to release arrows!" ”

Dolgon's expeditionary army has been chasing and fighting with Ezhe's men and horses, he never expected that when confronting Ezhe, there would be a Ming army suddenly appeared behind him, and he was unguarded by the logistics base, which resulted in the tens of thousands of people of Ezhe escaping, and the embarrassed and angry Dolgon decided to compete with this Ming army, so he put down Ezhe and turned around and chased over.

The first to come to the river was the elite of Dolgon's 300 positive white banners, and the general who led the troops was Dayinbu, a good soldier Niu Lu Zhangjing.

When the Jurchens were dividing the Eight Banners, Huang Taiji was the owner of the Zhengbai Banner, and the Zhengbai Banner at that time was the weakest of the Eight Banners. And the strongest is Nurhachi's two yellow flags. Before Nurhachi died, he gave Azig, Dolgon, and Duoduo fifteen oxen each, and they were all allocated from the two yellow flags, Azig was the owner of the positive yellow flag, and Duoduo was the owner of the yellow flag. Huang Taiji became the Great Khan, and he reached an agreement with Daishan, Amin and other supporters that he was not allowed to affect the interests of each banner, that is, he could not change the subordinate team of his own banner. Therefore, after Huang Taiji succeeded to the throne, he did not snatch the two yellow flags of the Dolgon brothers, because he also understood that if he really did it, the generals who were loyal to Nurhachi might not agree to the two yellow flags. As a result, Huang Taiji's original white flag became a positive yellow flag, and he took the opportunity to defeat Du Du, the son of Chu Ying, the owner of the red flag, and changed the red flag at that time to the yellow flag. The name of the inlaid white flag was changed to the inlaid red flag. At that time, the two yellow flags became two white flags.

Therefore, the positive white flag is the elite of the eight banners, and the three hundred horsemen who are catching up now are the elite of the positive white flag.

"Dayinbu, let's wait for the arrival of the army before crossing the river!" The lieutenant Yahizen stopped Dayinbu, who was about to go into the water.

Dayin Bu didn't reply: "Yahichan, you wait here by yourself, I will take advantage of the enemy's unstable foothold to kill and cross the river." ”

"Are we still good brothers if we leave you?" Yahizen followed closely behind Dayinbu.

……

Gao Junshan saw that this group of enemies did not stop by the river, and directly drove his horse into the water and came to this side. The river was not deep at this season, and it was clear that not even very tall Mongolian horses could wade through it, as his troops had already made two round-trips.

In order to save gunpowder, Gao Junshan did not intend to use rockets against Dorgon's vanguard, and when the Tartar cavalry waded into the river, he ordered the archers to fire their bows and arrows.

Five hundred cavalry archers cannot be said to be ten thousand arrows, and it should be more than enough to block a cavalry squad of three hundred cavalry, and Gao Junshan is very confident in this.

The archers had already been waiting for the battle, and after the order of Gao Junshan was handed down, they saw the banner unfurled, and the archers approached the river bank on horseback, overwhelmingly firing arrows into the center of the river.

The horses crossing the river not only did not stop moving forward, but quickened the pace of their advance, and the arrows "swished" on the surface of the water, splashing clusters of water, and the arrows that were fortunate enough to hit the target only hit the hard iron armor and fell into the water, like a silver-like wax head gun.

Liu Chenggong anxiously reported to Gao Junshan: "King Qin, the iron armor of this cavalry is very hard, and the arrow penetration of my archers is not enough. ”

"I see it." Gao Junshan replied calmly. He could not have imagined that the archers were so lethal to these Tartars, and now he could know the hardness of their armor, which was a mistake he had made by underestimating the enemy.

Seeing that the enemy had crossed the center of the river, the speed of his march increased significantly, because he had already passed through the deep water, and the resistance of the war horse to walk was reduced. At this time, it was too late to call in rockets to strike, and the Red Army's Tiger and Leopard Army could not bear to kill them, and the two armies fought on the beach of the river.

The morale of the rebels was high, and the shouts of killing were higher and higher, rushing towards the river.

Dayinbu, who was under the white flag, was indeed heroic, and he faced the cavalry of the three Tiger and Leopard Army alone. The big knife in his hand slashed the head of a rebel on the left, and then cut off the middle one with a backhand, the knife was as skillful as flowing water, the two heads rolled down on the sand, blood flew sideways, the body fell like a cloth bag, splashed a cloud of dust, and the frightened war horse galloped towards the lower reaches of the river. Behind him, Yahichan quickly stepped forward to meet the rebel on his right, and in the blink of an eye, he stabbed him to death under his horse.

Dayinbu slapped his horse and rushed to the shore, he dodged left and right, and broke through the three or four layers of oncoming rebels at lightning speed, and before he reached the shore, he was surrounded by several cavalrymen, he shouted, and used the back of his sword to open the spear of the first cavalry, and when the two horses staggered, the head of the cavalry rolled to the ground, and the blood sprayed like a pillar, which shocked the surrounding rebel cavalry, and no one dared to come forward to engage it.

Gao Junshan saw more and more enemy troops wading through the river on the arrow tower, although the tiger and leopard army was superior in numbers, but could not block the enemy's charge, and what was more dangerous was that the enemy's follow-up troops had also arrived at the river bank and were organizing wading across the river.

These Tartars are so strong in individual combat ability, it seems that it is not possible to dispatch Cao Wenzhao's heavy cavalry. Gao Junshan did not hesitate, he ordered loudly: "Cao Wenzhao attack!" Cao Wenzhao attacked! ”

The commander seemed to be impatient, and before Gao Junshan's voice started, the banner was raised in a loud voice, and the dust was raised again on the position of the rebel army, and three thousand heavy cavalry pressed towards the riverbank.

Gao Junshan issued a second order, telling the Red Army allies to retreat. After the order was issued, Liu Chenggong asked for battle, hoping to play the role of a rocket soldier.

He stared at Liu Chenggong's face dissatisfied: "How did you become the captain?" The combat power of the archers was so low. See for yourself, your cavalry archers are just an ornament, and the cavalry in the face of the Tartars has nothing to achieve! ”

Liu Chenggong didn't dare to defend himself, after all, he had too little time to train, and his energy was mainly focused on 'swarming bees'.

Military advisor Liu Hongru defended Liu Chenggong and said: "King Qin, this can't be all blamed on Captain Liu. I can't imagine that the armor of these Tartars is so hard that the arrows fired by our archers will have a hard time penetrating their armor. ”

Liu Chenggong said: "I heard that after the Tatars occupied Shenyang, they vigorously developed the iron industry, and all craftsmen were not killed. Its Eight Banner soldiers are all hard and hard-armed, and now it seems to be a fact. ”

Gao Junshan sighed: "It seems that the Tartars also attach great importance to talents!" ”

"Humph!" Liu Hongru said indignantly, "I heard that after the Tatars occupied Shenyang, they wantonly slaughtered our Han people......"

"It's messy! It's messy! Before Liu Hongru could finish speaking, he heard the deputy general shouting on the side.

The three of them hurriedly walked into the lookout, raised their eyes and looked at the battlefield ahead, only to see that a large number of enemies had gathered on the west bank to prepare to cross the river, while the rebels were crowded on the east bank and were in a mess.

"Liu Chenggong, immediately use a rocket to block the Tartar crossing the river!" Gao Junshan dropped a sentence and climbed the arrow tower underground, "Zhuang is blessed, prepare the horse!" ”

Waiting for Zhuang Youfu to bring the war horse, he skillfully stepped on the war horse, waved the horsewhip, and rushed towards the direction of the crowd, Bai Wenxuan and Zhuang Youfu followed closely around him.

At this time, the Red Army's Tiger and Leopard Army was retreating, blocking the road for Cao Wenzhao's heavy cavalry to advance, and the two armies did not give in to each other in front of the battle, causing chaos on the side of the righteous army.

"These stupid pigs!" Gao Junshan scolded in his heart, "Don't the retreating people know how to dodge to both sides? ”

He came into the crowd and shouted, "Get out of the way!" Get out of the way! ”

But his voice was drowned out in a chaotic cacophony.

He pulled out the neutrino pistol and rushed forward with all his might, Bai Wenxuan and Zhuang Youfu on both sides were also driving away the retreating cavalry, and he finally rushed to the most crowded place in front and saw that Cao Wenzhao was also blocked there.

Under the escort of Bai Wenxuan and Zhuang Youfu, Gao Junshan squeezed to Cao Wenzhao's side, and he raised his gun to shoot the two retreating cavalrymen, and the chaotic situation was alleviated.

Gao Junshan shouted again: "Get out of the way!" Get out of the way! At this time, the retreating cavalry came to their senses and dispersed to both sides.

Suddenly, there was a loud noise, and thousands of rockets flew out of the air and swept over the top of the high mountain, and the tail of the rocket dragged a long black smoke, and there was another sound, and the second stage of the rocket was ignited, and the whole sky exuded a strong smell of gunpowder, and the smoke enveloped this battlefield on the east coast.

It was smoke and explosions, the first to be frightened was the war horses of the rebel army, the place where Gao Junshan was located was the place where the war horses were the densest, although the tiger and leopard army began to spread to both sides, but it was only just beginning to disperse, the crowded situation was loosened, and the sky suddenly sounded the sound of explosion, none of these horses had experienced this kind of baptism of fire, most of them were frightened to varying degrees.

Seeing that the order of the battlefield has improved, it has now become chaos again. Gao Junshan couldn't manage so much, and rushed forward as best his might, but fortunately, Bai Wenxuan and Zhuang Youfu were on his left and right, and cleared the obstacles to his progress, so that his speed increased.

The further you go, the fewer horses you can get in the way. In addition to the neighing of the war horses, he could already hear the sound of the battle in front of the two armies, he had no distractions, just wanted to rush to the forefront of the battlefield as soon as possible, he believed that as long as he appeared at the forefront, his soldiers' fighting spirit would be full, and it would be possible to drive the Tartars down the river.

At this time, the second round of rockets began to be launched, and the situation was the same as the first launch, first there was a loud noise, and a thousand rockets flew towards the river, and the arrows spit black smoke from behind them, making a piercing whistling sound, and swept over the head of Gao Junshan, this time the difference was that the rocket flew right above Gao Junshan's head and began to burn the second stage of ammunition, this time the explosion startled his mount.

Gao Junshan rode on his walking horse, and when a thousand munitions suddenly exploded in the sky above him, his horse stopped in astonishment, and then his two front feet were spread out, and his body leaned back, and he rushed forward, and galloped along the riverbank, regardless of whether there were still people on his back.

Gao Junshan grabbed the reins, trying to control the frightened horse, the horse's strength was indeed too great, and he didn't hold on long before he was thrown to the ground by the fierce horse.
