Volume 5 Lying on the Salary and Tasting the Courage

Chapter 5 The Heroic Tragedy of the Battle of Liao Shen

Section 5 The Bloody Battle of the Hunhe River (3)

Due to the tenacious fighting of the Ming army, Huang Taiji and Azig were very cautious when arranging the troops, and the two were ready to concentrate the elite of the two white flags and use them as the front of the attacking army, in an attempt to break through the Ming army's formation in one fell swoop.

Soon, the two white flags each produced 5,000 iron cavalry, and the 10,000 iron cavalry army quickly lined up in a cavalry formation, and at the forefront of the cavalry array were 500 white flag heavy armored cavalry and 500 white flag heavy armored cavalry. These thousand-heavy armored iron horsemen are all wearing double, or even three-layer armor, and the weapons used in their hands are all heavy weapons such as tiger spears and maces, and even the war horses are wearing heavy vests, looking like a thousand steel beasts from a distance.

Huang Taiji and Azig saw that the iron cavalry army had been prepared, so they ordered to charge, and the 10,000 Jiannu iron cavalry suddenly broke out with a deafening roar, and almost instantaneously raised the speed of the war horse to the highest, as if it was a surging wave, viciously slapped towards the Ming army formation that was as steady as Mount Tai!

Seeing this, Zhou Dunji immediately ordered the war drums to be beaten, and the soldiers of the Ming army shouted in the majestic war drums: "Ten thousand victories!" The white-pole spear in his hand pointed at the sky like a dense forest, standing still.

And Qin Bangping was even more brave, directly leading 500 Ming soldiers to the front of the phalanx. The soldiers took out several javelins one after another, ready to deal the most fatal blow to the invading Jiannu Iron Cavalry.

Huang Taiji and Azig saw the situation of the Ming army from a distance in the cavalry formation, and saw that the Ming army formation was still as stable as Mount Tai, and they couldn't help but feel chills in their hearts. But both of them knew in their hearts that Nurhachi was watching the battle behind him, and if he didn't move forward with his life, he would definitely be punished heavily.

Thinking of this, Huang Taiji and Azig gave the order to accelerate the charge almost at the same time, and the 10,000 taels of white flag iron cavalry also launched a ruthless attack, and once again accelerated with all their strength, and rushed to the front of the Ming army in a blink of an eye.

The blood banks of both sides are open again!

I saw Qin Bangping shouting, and took the lead in throwing the javelin in his hand, and then five hundred javelins rose into the air, roaring and smashing into the Jiannu cavalry array, instantly cutting off a layer of the Jiannu cavalry formation! Jiannu's offensive suddenly stalled, and many Jiannu heavy armor had no time to dodge, and were nailed to death on the spot before they could show their bravery; And the Jiannu iron cavalry behind also had no time to react, and they were tripped by the corpses of their companions and war horses that had been nailed to the ground, and the Jiannu cavalry array was chaotic for a while.

Huang Taiji and Azig were shocked when they saw this, and hurriedly restrained their respective soldiers and horses, trying their best to stabilize the situation, and at the same time constantly mobilized the iron cavalry behind to continue the charge. And some of the more brave Jiannu soldiers even jumped off their horses and killed the Ming army on foot, fighting against the Ming soldiers.

Under the command of Huang Taiji and Azig, the chaos of the army only lasted for a moment, and then stabilized again, and continued to fight with the soldiers of the Ming army.

I saw countless two white flag iron horsemen roaring and rushing into the Ming army formation, these two white flag Jiannu have been killed at the moment, often in order to open a gap in the Ming military formation, several, or even a dozen Jiannu will crash in the same direction, not caring whether they will be poked to death by spears.

For a time, the Ming army's array was in danger, and the casualties of the white pole soldiers increased sharply!

Qin Bangping was furious when he saw this, and after stabbing a Jiannu to death with one shot, he shouted loudly: "Fight back!" Counterattack! Soldiers rush with me! All of us are united in our hearts~~~"

Five hundred dead soldiers of the Ming army roared in unison: "The mountains can be shaken!" ”

In the face of Jiannu's attack almost regardless of casualties, the five hundred Ming soldiers under the leadership of Qin Bangping launched a counter-charge against the enemy's war horses, and the five hundred Ming infantry rushed towards the ten thousand Jiannu iron cavalry!

At this time, Huang Taiji and Azig also discovered the movements of Qin Bangping's department, and the two of them shouted almost at the same time: "Kill the main general of the Ming army!" Kill! Azig yelled even more excitedly, and personally led his troops to rush forward, wanting to kill Qin Bangping in one fell swoop.

Qin Bangping saw that there were more and more Jiannu around him, and he couldn't kill them, but instead of being timid, he became more and more courageous, and formed a dense spear formation with hundreds of soldiers around him, and hundreds of cold white-pole spears made Jiannu Iron Cavalry unable to get close; Even those vests who are not afraid of death will be stabbed to death by the Ming soldiers at the first time, and they will become a pile of rotten meat on the ground.

After fighting for a while, Azig led his troops to Qin Bangping's department, and was just about to command his subordinates to charge into battle, when he suddenly saw a black shadow flying in front of him in front of hundreds of Ming troops, and when he looked closely, he was horrified to find that hundreds of javelins were shooting towards him.

Azig suddenly broke his liver and gall, and the pig's tail on his head almost stood up. I saw Azig pull one of his subordinates in front of him, and then saw three javelins heavily nailed to the unlucky subordinate. Azig had just breathed a sigh of relief, when he suddenly fell off his horse and fell heavily to the ground, only to see that his mount was shot in the neck with a javelin, and he fell to the ground in a fit of rage.

Azig hurriedly rolled on the spot, picked up his war knife and looked around, only to see that a burst of javelins from the Ming army just now had slaughtered his subordinates around him!

At this moment, Azig only heard bursts of cheers from the Ming army, and the morale of the two white flag iron cavalry was low in an instant, and they were killed by the Ming army and retreated. It turned out that Azig suddenly fell from his horse just now, and both sides of the fierce battle thought that Azig was killed on the spot, if it weren't for Huang Taiji desperately pressing his subordinates in the formation, it is estimated that the two white flags would have collapsed at this time.

Qin Bangping was also overjoyed when he saw Azig fall from his horse, and immediately beckoned the hundreds of soldiers behind him to charge again, ready to snatch the head of the Jiannu general.

Azig looked at the Ming army rushing over, and he had no intention of fighting in his heart, and he even began to feel frightened! So Azig picked up the flag on the ground, turned over and jumped on an ownerless war horse, held his flag and roared loudly towards the Jiannu riding formation.

When those white-flaged Jiannu saw that their master was still alive, their morale was immediately boosted, and they all stepped forward to meet the chasing Qin Bangping Division, desperately covering their master's escape.

Qin Bangping also did not show weakness, and the soldiers of the Ming army lined up to meet the battle, and the bloody battle between the two sides escalated again, just in the middle of the Ming army formation and the Jiannu cavalry formation, forming a hellish area, constantly devouring the lives of the soldiers of the Ming and Jin sides. The Jiannu Iron Cavalry condescended to attack quickly and without fear of death, but the soldiers of the Ming army were not afraid of life and death, and they did not give up an inch of land, and the two sides fought each other back and forth, and after a while, a half-person-high corpse wall was formed around Qin Bangping's department!

At this time, the embarrassed Azig finally returned to the cavalry formation, and after meeting with Huang Taiji, he said angrily: "Sibeile, you and I will mobilize troops and horses to rush forward, and today I must kill the main general of the Ming army!" ”

Huang Taiji glanced at Azig coldly, and said angrily: "Is Taiji crazy?" Now that the attack of the army has been blocked, those white pole soldiers of the Ming army have repelled the fierce attack of our two strong infantry and cavalry with two white flags four or five times in a row, and there are no less than 2,000 warriors who have died under the guns of the Ming army! If you continue to fight like this, Taiji will wait for all the warriors of the two white flags to die! ”

Azig's face was also sallow when he heard this, and after a pause, he said with a hideous face: "Could it be that the casualties of the Ming army are fewer?" The Ming army was even smaller in number, they could not withstand such attrition! ”

"Can I afford it? Are there more warriors of my Eight Banners than the Ming army? There will be nothing for the Ming Kingdom to die tens of thousands of people, but if my Dajin loses tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, then wait for the death of the country! ”

After listening to Huang Taiji's words, Azig stopped talking, but just looked at the subordinates in front of him who were still constantly attacking the Ming army's formation, although the casualties were very large, but they were still fighting very tenaciously.

After looking at it for a while, Azig asked, "Then according to the opinion of the four beylers, how should we act?" If Khan Ama does not give the order to retreat, he cannot retreat no matter what! ”

Huang Taiji glanced at the tens of thousands of troops behind him, and saw that under the bright yellow umbrella in the middle of the army, a tall figure was closely watching the battle situation here.

"I think Khan Ama is also heartbroken now. There is no way, you and I can only continue to attack the Overseers. Huang Taiji sighed heavily, and then continued: "But, what's the point of my two White Flag warriors going to fight like this? This infantry of the Ming army, all are elite soldiers, brave and good at fighting, fighting without retreating, I am a white flag general, two guerrillas with white flags have been captured, and the soldiers in the flag have suffered casualties of no less than 2,000 people, how many warriors have to be sacrificed to capture the Ming army? Ten thousand or twenty thousand? Why didn't Khan Ama give the order to retreat yet! "

Just as Huang Taiji was talking to Azig, the battle situation ahead changed again.

I saw that the soldiers of the Ming army beheaded the three captured Jiannu generals on the spot, and then inserted the heads of the three blood linlin with three spears and stood in the Ming army array. The Jiannu soldiers were all shocked when they saw this, and their morale was immediately greatly reduced, and the offensive also stalled.

Qin Bangping and Zhou Dunji took the opportunity to organize the soldiers of the Ming army to launch a counterattack, and the two white flag Jiannu were beaten and retreated. Huang Taiji and Azig were shocked and hurriedly stepped forward to command.

At this moment, the long-awaited retreat order of the two white flags Jiannu finally came, and Nurhachi saw that the two white flags had been invincible for a long time and suffered heavy casualties, so he ordered Huang Taiji and Azig to lead the army to withdraw, and at the same time ordered Amin and Mang Gurtai to attack the whole army and continue to attack the Ming army's white pole soldiers.

Qin Bangping and Zhou Dunji led the soldiers to kill for a while, and saw that the two white flag Jiannu retreated one after another, and after a while, they broke away from contact with the Ming soldiers and ran away, so they ordered to stop the attack, and commanded the remaining more than 2,000 white pole soldiers to retreat, and reorganized the team to prepare to continue the battle.
