Chapter 5 The Heroic Tragedy of the Battle of Liao Shen

Section 4 The Bloody Battle of the Hunhe River (2)

Seeing the Jiannu army coming so quickly, the chief soldier Tong Zhonghua and the chief soldier Chen Ce were secretly frightened, at this time both of them were afraid for a while, if the army retreated in a hurry just now, it is estimated that it has been tightly bitten by the menacing Jiannu army! If you don't get it right, you will suffer a big loss, but fortunately, the two of them ordered the army to meet the enemy on the spot.

However, now that the enemy is outnumbered, the situation facing the Ming army is still very grim. Therefore, after a short discussion, the general soldier Tong Zhonghua and the general soldier Chen Ce urgently ordered the guerrilla general Zhou Dunji and the deputy commander-in-chief of Sichuan Shizhu Prefecture to fight to the death on the spot to defeat the spirit of Jiannu. After that, Tong Zhonghua and Chen Ce would lead the Qi family army to cross the river to attack, striving to recreate the slave army on both sides of the Hunhe River!

After the battle plan was set, the soldiers of the Ming army moved one after another, and 3,000 white pole soldiers crossed the Hunhe River under the leadership of the deputy commander-in-chief Qin Bangping and the guerrilla general Zhou Dunji, preparing to form a formation on the north bank of the Hunhe River to meet the enemy.

After a while, Zhou Dunji and Qin Bangping watched the lineup of the Jiannu army in front of the formation, and saw that the Jiannu army was divided into seven huge formations, with Nurhachi leading the yellow flag in the center, the two white flags and the blue flag on the left side of the formation, and the two red flags and the blue flag on the right. The Seven Banners and 100,000 troops have a clear banner and a strict formation, and at first glance they are the elite of a hundred battles.

Under the command of Zhou Dunji and Qin Bangping, 3,000 white pole soldiers formed a dense formation, firmly blocking the bridgehead, and placed a lot of antlers and horses in front of the army to slow down the charge of the Jiannu iron cavalry.

At the same time, Nurhachi also stood in front of the horse formation together with Daishan, Huang Taiji, Azig, Amin, and Mang Gurtai, carefully observing the Ming army's formation in the distance.

After watching it for a while, Nurhachi couldn't help laughing, and said to the people around him: "Before the ridiculous, I was still a little worried, afraid that this Ming army would be too difficult to fight, so that my Dajin warriors suffered too many casualties. Now it seems that I am overthinking. ”

Dai Shan, Huang Taiji and others were a little strange when they heard it, because in the eyes of everyone, the Ming army in the distance was still not panicked in the face of more than ten times the enemy army, and the military formation was still very strict. Isn't such an enemy a difficult to fight? Although the number of this Ming army is small, if you want to defeat it completely, you don't know how many warriors you will lose!

Looking at the several banner owners around him who were very puzzled, Nurhachi said: "This Ming army may be strong, but its troops are already small, but they are divided into two parts, facing each other across the river, this is the way to die!" In this battle, my Dajin will win! ”

Hearing this, Dai Shan, Azig, Amin, and Mang Gurtai all showed excitement, only Huang Taiji was still worried: "The white pole soldiers and the Qi family army that dominate the world, are they really just vain?" Wrong! These two elites must have something to rely on, and this battle will definitely be very hard! ”

At this moment, Nurhachi said: "Okay, now that you have seen the formation of the Ming army, let's start attacking!" Great Belle, you are the head of all Belles, let your two red flags take the lead. ”

Huang Taiji was very happy when he heard this, and now it is still a question whether the combat power of the Ming army is strong or not, just let Dai Shan test it!

Dai Shan did not hesitate, and immediately took the order and left.

After a while, Dai Shan selected 10,000 iron cavalry from the 25,000 troops of the two red flags, personally led the army to attack, and launched an overwhelming attack on the position held by the white pole soldiers.

The charge of the two red flag iron cavalry was menacing, especially with the banner lord Dai Shan coming to supervise the battle, and the Dajin Emperor Nurhachi watching the battle behind him, the 10,000 Jiannu iron cavalry suddenly broke out with amazing fighting spirit and powerful combat power.

I saw 10,000 horses galloping, 10,000 people roaring, and the cavalry formation of 10,000 taels of red flag iron cavalry seemed to be a huge monster, and it pounced on the white pole soldier phalanx with only 3,000 people.

Looking at the two red flag Jiannu iron horses getting closer and closer, Zhou Dunji and Qin Bangping only felt that their hearts were beating faster and their cheeks were hot. However, this is not that the two of them are timid when they see Jiannu menacing, but the excitement from the bottom of their hearts after seeing the fierce enemy!

Qin Bangping said loudly to Zhou Dunji: "I will go to the front of the battle to lead the army to kill the enemy, and the general is here to command the overall situation!" ”

Zhou Dunji nodded heavily and said, "Deputy Chief Qin, be careful!" ”

After Qin Bangping nodded, he came to the front of the army with his gun, and shouted loudly: "The soldiers of our Sichuan army dominate the world, and today's bloody battle of Jiannu should fight to the death and not retreat, report the country's favor, protect the people, and all the soldiers will fight to the death with me!" ”

Zhou Dunji also shouted loudly in the formation: "I and all the soldiers are fighting here today, behind me is China, and my generation has no way to retreat!" Dead country! ”

"Dead country! Dead country! ”

"The emperor wins! Wansheng! ”

The three thousand white-pole soldiers roared in unison, and the Qi family army on the south bank of the Hunhe River was so excited when they saw their comrades on the other side, and their morale also soared.

Dai Shan, who was leading the army to charge, heard the roar of the Ming army, and a hint of foreboding suddenly rose in his heart. But there is no time to think about it, the distance between the two armies is less than 100 steps!

100 steps away, in a blink of an eye!

The three thousand taels of red flag iron cavalry that rushed to the front were the first to crash into the formation of the white-pole soldiers, only to see countless cold white-pole spears ruthlessly piercing into the body of Jiannu, and immediately stopped the rampant Jiannu cavalry formation.

In just one confrontation, the strong phalanx of white-pole soldiers brought hundreds of casualties to the two red banner Jiannu, and many Jiannu soldiers who were stabbed by spears and fell from their horses wailed helplessly on the ground and screamed, but then they were turned into meat by the iron cavalry that came from behind. I saw tens of thousands of red flag iron horsemen going forward one after another, constantly attacking the Ming army and fighting to the death, but the three thousand white pole soldiers were still standing still, and Rulin's spears continued to devour the lives of Jiannu.

It didn't take long for a half-man-high low wall to pile up in front of the Ming army—a corpse wall composed of the corpses of Jiannu and the remains of war horses! The blood of Jiannu also merged into a flowing stream, turning the battlefield into mud.

At this time, Dai Shan, who was commanding in the rear, was already dumbfounded, and he never expected that the 10,000 iron cavalry army would charge with all his strength, and he would not be able to do anything about the 3,000 Ming army array! Seeing that the warriors in their flags continue to fall off their horses and suffer heavy casualties, after a short fight, I am afraid that there are no less than 1,000 warriors who have been damaged, and if they continue to fight like this, I am afraid that the two red flags will be greatly injured!

So, Dai Shan hurriedly sent people to report to Nurhachi, and at the same time organized hundreds of archers to attack around the formation, preparing to attack the Ming army with cavalry and archery skills.

However, Dai Shan's plan once again failed, and the three thousand white pole soldiers were all wearing heavy armor and cotton armor, and they were very tightly protected. Under the blow of Jiannu's crazy cavalry, only dozens of Ming soldiers were shot in the neck and eye sockets, and most of the rest of the soldiers were shot all over with arrows, but they were still alive and well, fighting with the Jiannu iron cavalry who kept rushing up, and would rather die than retreat!

Although the number of these white pole soldiers is far less than that of the Jiannu Iron Cavalry, they are not afraid of death, and the organization is strict, and the spears used by the soldiers are all strange weapons with long blades and iron rings, which are different from other Ming troops, so that these two Red Banner Iron Cavalry are extremely unaccustomed. Coupled with the deputy commander-in-chief Qin Bangping and the guerrilla general Zhou Dunji bravely taking the lead and bravely crowning the three armies, the whole army is like a rainbow, there are only soldiers who died in battle, and there are no retreating soldiers!

After a fierce battle for a while, the two Red Banner Iron Cavalry who fought the first battle had already suffered nearly 2,000 casualties, and Dai Shan was so distressed that he almost cried on the spot.

At this moment, Qin Bangping, the deputy commander-in-chief, saw that the Jiannu army was unstable and the fighting spirit had been discharged, so he took the opportunity to organize 500 Ming soldiers who were not afraid of death to launch a decisive counterattack against the Jiannu iron cavalry. I saw that the five hundred soldiers, under the leadership of the main general, held a white-pole spear in one hand and a toast javelin in the other, formed a strict assault formation, and rushed past the comrades around them.

Qin Bangping rushed to the front wearing heavy armor, and when he was more than ten steps away from Jiannu's iron horse, he shouted: "Cast!" ”

I saw five hundred soldiers aiming at the Jiannu Iron Cavalry who was killing in front of them, and threw the javelins in their hands together, and then followed Qin Bangping and shot them up.

In an instant, five hundred javelins smashed into the Jiannu cavalry array, and suddenly a "no man's land" was formed in the Jiannu cavalry array, and more than two hundred red flag Jiannu were nailed to the ground with people and horses, and no one survived! The surrounding Jiannu were shocked when they saw this, and they had no will to fight for a while, and in the face of the Ming army that killed them, the remaining two red flag Jiannu were like seeing countless evil ghosts, and they immediately collapsed, and they fled to the Jiannu array behind them with shouts. And Dai Shan was also coerced by the rout, and fled back with the flow of people with a miserable face.

The 10,000 taels of Red Banner Iron Cavalry were defeated head-on by a mere 3,000 Ming troops, and the entire army of Jiannu was shocked! Nurhachi, Huang Taiji, Azig, Amin, and Mang Gultai were all stunned and pale.

Seeing that the two red flags had returned to the front of the battle, and Dai Shan also came to confess his guilt in despair, Nurha's whole body trembled with anger, and the feeling of powerlessness when he faced the Hanwei camp three years ago came to his heart again, causing Nurhachi to be extremely angry.

Looking at the Ming army array that was cheering, Nurhachi loudly reprimanded Dai Shan, ordering him to immediately collect the two red flag defeated soldiers and prepare to fight again. After that, Nurhachi ordered two white flags to attack and continue to attack the Ming army's formation, not giving the Ming army any respite.

After hearing the order, Huang Taiji and Azig couldn't help but turn pale, the tragic situation of the two red flag iron cavalry just now was in their eyes, just one attack, the 10,000 taels of red flag army lost nearly 2,000 people, this is a real elite iron cavalry!

However, Huang Taiji and Azig did not have the courage to disobey the order, so they could only bite the bullet and immediately reorganize their troops and horses and attack in formation.

It didn't take long for Huang Taiji and Azig to each organize an army of 5,000 iron cavalry, and the two white flags dispatched a total of 10,000 iron cavalry to start the charge, killing the Ming army that was waiting for them.

Seeing the comeback of the Jiannu army, the deputy commander-in-chief Qin Bangping and the guerrilla general Zhou Dunji were very disdainful, and the soldiers of the white pole soldiers were also not timid.

Zhou Dunji laughed loudly: "Jiannu is here to die again!" and we will make them perfect! ”

Qin Bangping also shouted loudly: "Soldiers! War! It's war! ”
