Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Battle to Decide the Fate of Jiannu (3)

Man Gui said with a smile: "Bachelors are scholars, and we rough people should respect scholars." Didn't the emperor say that he should not be distinguished by his status and status, but by his knowledge. ”

Lu Xiangsheng said with a smile: "The emperor said that you should be superior to knowledge and skills, and Master Ming said that your marksmanship is incomparable, and you can be regarded as the first in our army." ”

Man Gui said with a smile: "The bachelor's big sword can only be barely lifted." is not only about martial arts, but also much higher than the last general. ”

Lu Xiangsheng said: "Qianyi, have you all come over?" ”

Man Gui replied: "The last general will come over with two brigades first, and the other brigade will not arrive half an hour late." The last general organized a rifled firecracker team to deal with the officials and brave among the Jiannu, and now that the command of Jiannu is on the verge of failure, the battle should be solved without the use of the Third Brigade. ”

Lu Xiangsheng said: "It's better to wait for the third brigade to come before launching a counteroffensive, we not only want to win this battle, but the important thing is to let the few Jiannu who escape as few as possible." At this time, one less run, and ten fewer kills in the future. If we can annihilate half of Jiannu's troops, then there will be no time for Jiannu to be rampant in Liaodong in the future. ”

Man Gui said: "Then how about going out again, and then using the drum to inform the bachelor after the third brigade comes?" ”

Lu Xiangsheng nodded and said, "Then it's troublesome, be careful when you go out." When charging, let everyone load up on ammunition. ”

Man Gui nodded and said, "The last general will go." "Take your subordinates and kill them like a whirlwind.

The adjutant smiled: "General Man really deserves to be praised by the emperor." ”

Lu Xiangsheng said with a smile: "Yes, Qianyi is indeed a tiger general, but there is too much etiquette." ”

The adjutant smiled and did not speak. Man Gui put his posture very low in front of Lu Xiangsheng, although he is older than Lu Xiangsheng, and his official position is the same as Lu Xiangsheng, but he is the last general or directly Man Gui, and Lu Xiangsheng has always been called a bachelor, but not for other veterans. Everyone said that it was because Man Gui himself was illiterate, and he always regarded himself as a student in front of Lu Xiangsheng, who was born in Jinshi.

When Man Gui came out, the 3rd Brigade just arrived. He ordered the drummers to inform the 1st Division, and then raised his spear and shouted: "Brothers, come with me and get the boar skins, charge." ”

After the 1st Division heard the drumbeat of the attack, Lu Xiangsheng also led his men and began to charge. Hou Jin soldiers saw a steady stream of Ming troops entering the battlefield, and their commanders often fell to the ground and died for no apparent reason, and they were already frightened, and under the rush of the guards, someone finally began to retreat.

The Warlord took the broadsword and shouted, "Retreat and slash, and charge forward for me." After killing a few people, the retreating Houjin soldiers became angry, and someone pulled the overseer team and began to fight. How the Overseer was the opponent of so many people, and for a while the Overseer began to retreat.

Seeing the chaos ahead, Dai Shan said to Nurhae: "Father Khan, let's go back." ”

Nurhachi glared at him fiercely and said, "You go back and try it." He stepped forward and shouted: "With Ben Khan's charge, kill the Ming army, and all the gains after the war belong to individuals." ”

He personally took the lead in rushing, naturally everyone could only follow the rush, and for a while, a group of men and horses rushed forward from the Houjin main formation, and a group of people and horses in front of him were rushing backwards, which was the retreating Houjin armor soldiers.

Nurhachi shouted: "At this time, follow Ben Khan, the past will not be investigated, all the gains will be their own, and those who dare to retreat will kill your whole family." ”

The old slave shouted, and the soldiers behind him also repeated his words loudly, and the rout of the Jin soldiers stopped as soon as they entered. The retreating armor soldiers turned around in shame and killed the Ming army.

Rushing to the front was the 3rd Brigade of the 5th Division that had just arrived, and when he saw Jiannu, who was running happily, turned around and killed, Man Gui immediately said to the acting brigade commander: "You go to command, attack with a fire gun, and strike in three stages." I'm looking for an opportunity to charge. ”

Under Nurhachi's reprimand and encouragement, the Houjinjia soldiers who turned back mustered up the courage to attack the Ming army. I don't want the Ming army to fight with them at all, but to use fire guns against them.

At this time, the two sides had already opened up a distance of less than a hundred paces, which was the most powerful distance of the firecracker. If the new force of the 3rd Brigade fought with a white knuckle, it might not be the opponent of the long-fought post-gold-armored soldiers, but beating people with firearms was the favorite thing for the Guards to do.

There was a burst of firecrackers, and the three-stage strike was too effective in this situation. The speed at which the firebolt harvests human lives far exceeds that of white-knuckle combat. A large number of Houjin soldiers fell to the ground, making the Houjin soldiers who had just mustered up their courage become panicked for a while.

Everyone didn't rush straight to the rear, because there was a big sweat there. But there's nothing wrong with running to the side. Therefore, the Houjinjia soldiers, who had just stopped the retreat, began to run to both sides, giving up the middle to the pro-army led by Nurhachi, who rushed up.

At this time, some Guards rushed up from behind the 3rd Brigade, and they quickly joined the 3rd Brigade and carried out the mechanical action of firing, retreating, reloading, forwarding, and firing at the order of the acting brigade commander.

There were more and more guards, and the firepower became more and more dense, but Nurhachi did not continue to charge, and when he saw the guards fall to the ground one by one, he was heartbroken and wanted to die, but he was helpless.

At this time, the rifled musketeers also rushed up, and Man Gui said: "Come out with high military ranks, command them to attack behind." ”

Immediately, a rifled gunner called out: "I am the director, now quickly stand in line and prepare for loading." ”

The rifled musketeers immediately stood in a line behind the three-stage musketeers, and the division chief shouted, "Shoot freely, give priority to killing the slave chieftains." ”

Jian Nu finally couldn't resist it anymore and began to retreat. At this time, Lu Xiangsheng just arrived, he looked at Man Gui who was holding a spear and said, "Qianyi, I'm going to rush to the right." ”

Man Guizheng was a little disappointed because he couldn't rush to kill, and immediately replied: "Bachelor, then I will go to the left." ”

So the two commanders went to the left and the other to the right to slash and kill the fleeing Houjinjia soldiers, while the front position was commanded by an acting brigade commander. This is a very strange phenomenon, but it is normal in the Guards.

Nurhachi screamed and fell backwards. Dai Shan hurriedly shouted: "Protect the Great Khan and retreat." ”

Seeing this, the acting brigade commander shouted: "The boar skin is dead, the wild boar skin is dead." The Ming army also shouted. The Houjin army was in chaos for a while, and everyone scrambled to flee backwards, blocking their way, no matter who it was, split it first.

The great rout of the Houjin soldiers finally began. Dai Shan fled to the city gate with his henchmen in the banner Nurhachi, but found that the city gate was crowded with people, and from time to time there were flashes of swords, knowing that the army could no longer be gathered, so he led people to flee to the right.
