Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Defeat of Jiannu
So the white armor soldiers in front of Jiannu first went through the baptism of cannons, and then encountered dense lead bullets, and fell a large area, and a very small number of white armor soldiers who escaped these two catastrophes brandished their weapons to kill the guards, but they were killed in front of the battle by multiple bayonets stabbed at the same time.
With his back to Tashanpu, there was no way to retreat, and in this case, when there were no bullets in the firecracker, the Guards directly chose to attack with a white edge. Because the number of Houjin soldiers who rushed to the front was small, the effect was not bad.
Under the double attack of artillery and firearms, the advantage of Jiannu's white-knuckle battle could not be shown, and the cannon effectively cut off the continuity of the Houjin soldiers' attacks, so the Houjin soldiers soon could not support it, and the armor soldiers refused to continue to rush into the attack distance of the cannons.
Huang Taiji could only watch as the armored soldiers who rushed forward were wiped out one by one, including the most valuable white armor with the most rich combat experience. His heart was bleeding, but he was helpless.
Mang Gurtai looked at the rolling cannonballs, and suppressed the urge to rush forward himself. If it was just a firecracker, he didn't care much, his two-layer fine armor was not an ornament, but he couldn't expect such a large cannonball to resist with armor.
The two sides were at a stalemate for a while, and the Houjin soldiers did not rush forward, and the guards did not run out of the range of artillery to attack.
But such a stalemate is obviously not conducive to Houjin, Huang Taiji thought for a while and said: "Divide the troops, fifth brother, you are here, I will lead people around to that side, there should be no artillery over there, we will take the city first, and it will be easy to fight without artillery." ”
He took his Niulu armor soldiers and walked around to the side, until he reached the other side of Tashanpu. Sure enough, there were only a few guns on this side, and the number of guards on this side was relatively small.
Huang Taiji was overjoyed and said: "Get off the horse and shoot arrows first." After the golden armor soldier took out his bow and arrows and began to move forward, at a hundred paces, the guards began to fire, and the rear golden armor soldier advanced to about eighty steps and began to shoot arrows, and the two sides went back and forth, and the fight was very lively.
The most common tactic used by Houjin was to attack with infantry first, and then to mount and pursue when the enemy began to break up. Now, although the Houjin Heavy Arrow and the Guards Gun Shooting do not have the upper hand, it can be said that they are evenly divided, and the Houjin Armor soldiers are shooting and walking, wanting to engage in white-knuckle combat after approaching.
The guards had their backs to the city wall, and there was no way to retreat, but they didn't advance, they just kept firing lead bullets, and as the distance between the two sides approached, the casualties on both sides became more and more serious, and when the distance was about thirty paces, Du Guangting, who commanded here, gave an order: "The whole army charges." ”
The guards didn't care whether there were bullets in the firecrackers, they all rushed forward with the firearms, Du Guangting rushed to the front, he didn't have a long firecracker, he used a spear, his hand shook, the head of the gun flashed out of a bowl of gunflowers, piercing the throat of the white armor of the front one.
He shouted: "Wansheng Guards, brothers rush with me." Then he rushed forward like a tiger in the next mountain, and with a single shot poked a hole in the body of another white armor, and with a shake of his hand, the tip of the spear was withdrawn and continued to move forward.
In the battle, the two orders of "brothers rush me" and "brothers rush with me" are completely different for the soldiers, the former has a feeling of dedication, and the latter will stimulate the blood of the soldiers, and there is a sense of honor for the battle.
This was the first time that the Guards had engaged in a white-knuckle battle with a Houjinjia soldier, and when the soldiers knocked down a Houjinjia soldier with their bayonets, they would have this thought in their hearts: "Oh, it turns out that Jiannu is not only afraid of bullets, but also of my bayonets." ”
Such thoughts continue to cross the hearts of the guards soldiers, which greatly boosts the morale of the guards, it turns out that the guards have always thought that their armor is stronger than that of Jiannu, but if they fight with white knives, they are afraid that they are still slightly inferior, and Zhu Youxiao did not correct them from this aspect, and now he finds that the enemy is nothing more than this, it is the best thing on the battlefield, and as soon as the fear is gone, an ordinary soldier will transform into a brave soldier.
Under the leadership of Du Guangting, the guards actually fought evenly with bayonets and the Houjin armor soldiers, and the two sides went back and forth, fighting very lively, but the casualties were even less than when they were firing.
But there is a difference between being shot or falling to the ground with an arrow and a bloody bayonet slash, at least the sense of the scene is not so strong, so the white-knuckle battle is more brutal.
Du Guangting's spear is extremely powerful, and has killed three armor soldiers, Huang Taiji is extremely angry, and let several white armor soldiers attack him at the same time, but in the chaos of the battlefield, and it is not a simple fighting general, when the white armor soldiers rush forward, there will always be guards soldiers to catch them, and then fight together.
The artillery on the city wall aimed their only three nine-pound cannons at Huang Taiji, who was gradually moving forward under the banner of Jiannu.
The three cannons fired almost simultaneously, and the three shells whistled towards the white flag. Huang Taiji is worthy of being the son of the plane of this era, and he is still as lucky as in the original history, the three cannonballs did not hit him, but only beat the white-armored soldier holding the flag next to him into a mess.
Huang Taiji was startled, and at this time, Du Guangting saw that the Houjin Banner suddenly fell, and shouted with joy in his heart: "Huang Taiji is dead, brothers rush." ”
The guards were overjoyed when they heard this, and shouted together, and when the Jin soldiers heard the Ming army's shouting, they saw that the flag had fallen, and they really thought that Huang Taiji was dead, and they were suddenly in a state of confusion. The morale of the two sides rose and fell, and the two sides, which were originally evenly matched, quickly divided the winners and losers, even if the Houjin army saw that Huang Taiji was safe and sound, they could not change it.
Du Guangting led the guards to drive the armor soldiers of the Zhengbai Banner from one side of Tashanpu to the other, and the Zhenglan Banner of Mang Gurtai could not open the defense of the guards here, and the Zhengbai Banner rushed like this, and directly began to flee back.
Mang Gurtai resisted with the white armor in his banner, and barely stabilized the formation in front of the mountain pass. Huang Taiji stepped forward and said, "Fifth brother, let's retreat first, while we don't suffer much loss." ”
Mang Gurtai said: "How do you go back and explain to your father Khan?" ”
Huang Taiji said: "If we don't retreat now, if their reinforcements come, we won't be able to leave, and Yue Tuo can't come to help from Haizhou." ”
Mang Gurtai was extremely unwilling, obviously his own troops were stronger, but he was suppressed by artillery, and he had no way to give full play to his advantages, and finally had to retreat. However, he also knew that it was useless not to retreat, his army had no provisions, and he couldn't set up camp, so he had to sigh: "Then go back, we finally took Haizhou, and Father Khan won't blame us too much." ”
