Text Volume 10, Chapter 3, Section 11 Killing in the Night
Outside the East Gate of Shimen Pass.
More than 80,000 Mongolian iron horsemen under the order of Huang Taiji, the whole army changed into the clothes and armor of the Manchu army's two yellow flags, the Manchu army's red flag, the Manchu army's red flag, and the Manchu army's blue flag, and marched quickly towards the east in the dark night.
In the current season, the cold wind in the night is still a little biting, but at this time, the tens of thousands of Mongolian iron horsemen can no longer take care of these, and all of them are riding horses under the leadership of the two surviving Mongolian Eight Banner Banners, and they dare not have any delay.
Because before the army left, Huang Taiji had already told the Mongolian white flag and the Mongolian blue flag master Sobud that the encirclement of the Ming army had been completely disrupted, and it was necessary to divide the troops to fight out of the encirclement before the Ming army was reorganized.
That's why the two of them led the army so urgently, for fear that they would run slowly and be surrounded again by hundreds of thousands of Ming troops in front of them.
Because Sobud and Selen were worried that they would not be discovered by the Ming army at night, although they were in a hurry to leave, the whole army was silent and horse-bited, for fear of extraneous branches. So much so, after half an hour, 80,000 Mongolian iron horsemen ran out of a distance of several miles.
Looking at the dark night ahead, Sobride and Selen couldn't help but feel anxious, and they longed to give birth to a pair of wings and fly directly back to the prairie.
As a Mongolian Korqin from the Korqin Department, Seleng regretted that his intestines were blue, and he really didn't know why he led the descendants of Genghis Khan to fight in Liaodong to fight against those devilish Ming troops!
Just when Seleng was mourning to himself, a roar suddenly came from the front of the Mongol army, which became louder and louder, and soon roared like thunder in the sky above the 80,000 Mongolian iron horsemen.
As a Mongol who started with iron cavalry, this voice is all too familiar, it is the sound of the iron cavalry army charging, and it is also a very elite heavy armored iron cavalry!
Selen didn't have time to think about it, so he shouted hoarsely: "Charge in formation!" ”
And Sobred also cried out bitterly: "Rush forward! Genghis Khan's descendants will never accept their fate! ”
More than 80,000 Mongolian iron horsemen formed a slight formation amid the shouts of the two, and then launched a charge towards the terrifying night ahead.
However, before the Mongol cavalry could raise the speed of the charge to the maximum, a huge army of iron cavalry appeared in front of the eyes of all the Mongols.
I saw that the huge cavalry formation composed of more than 20,000 iron cavalry soldiers from the cavalry battalion under the Tiger Battalion and the Yue Cavalry Battalion rushed out of the night, and the strict cavalry formation had increased the speed of the charge to the maximum. More than 15,000 sturdy horses roared like fifteen thousand dragons going out to sea, trampling the earth trembling.
At the forefront of the Hanwei Army's Iron Cavalry Army, the Tiger Camp garrison Kong Xuan and the Yue Cavalry Battalion garrison Wei Wuhu charged ahead, and each of them led hundreds of personal guards as the sword blades of the Iron Cavalry Army, and stabbed at the Mongolian army that was already close at hand.
Hearing only a bang, more than 15,000 iron cavalry soldiers of the Hanwei Army rushed into the Mongolian army without resistance, and the Mongolian iron cavalry formation that was still trotting on horses was scattered and embarrassed.
Seeing this, Seleng and Sobude were terrified, and the two knew that the Mongol army could no longer fight hard with the Hanwei army's iron cavalry at this time, so they ordered the whole army to be divided into pieces, and then each led a soldier and horse to avoid the impact of the Hanwei army's iron cavalry as much as possible, and together with the Mongolian iron cavalry scattered around, they continued to shoot and kill the Hanwei army's iron cavalry.
Kong Xuan and Wei Wuhu were furious when they saw this, and the two immediately commanded the iron cavalry soldiers to fight back with three-eyed guns. The loud sound of fighting and the roar of firecrackers turned the otherwise calm night upside down.
However, after a battle, the iron cavalry of the Hanwei army was at a disadvantage, not only the strength of the iron cavalry of the Hanwei army was far less than that of the Mongolian iron cavalry, but also in the dark night, the fire that came out when the three-eyed gun was fired made the soldiers completely exposed to the sight of the Mongols, and the iron cavalry soldiers could not aim well at the Mongolian iron cavalry that came and went like the wind. At the same time, the range of the Three-Eyed Gun was not as good as that of the Mongols' horned bows. Therefore, after a fierce battle, Selen and Sobd completely gained the upper hand.
"Haha! When these Ming soldiers came out, they really scared me, but I didn't expect it to be useless! ”
Sobd laughed loudly, and then continued to lead the Mongol cavalry to besiege the Hanwei army.
At the same time, Kong Xuan and Wei Wuhu are very angry. If the two warring sides led their iron cavalry armies to fight against each other at this time, neither of them would be afraid, and they were confident that with the strong combat power of the iron cavalry soldiers of the Hanwei Army, they would be on par with the Mongolian iron cavalry several times their size, or even have an advantage.
But now, Kong Xuan and Wei Wuhu have a feeling of punching cotton in the face of the Mongols' mangu tactics, and they have no force, but they can never use it.
"We must kill them immediately and regroup our formation!"
Kong Xuan shouted loudly, Wei Wuhu, who was not far away, nodded heavily, and the two wanted to lead the army to rush out from the north of the battlefield, where there were relatively few Mongolian iron cavalry.
However, the two of them failed to lead the army to attack several times, although the Mongolian iron cavalry army did not seem to have any formation, but the tens of thousands of Mongolian iron cavalry wandering around the Hanwei army's iron cavalry army would always keep a distance while moving with the movement of the Hanwei army's iron cavalry army, and would never let the Hanwei army's iron cavalry soldiers rush out.
Seeing this, Kong Xuan and Wei Wuhu were even more angry, gritting their teeth in anger.
"If my army is more than half as strong as the Mongols, no! As long as there is a third of the Mongols' troops, there is no way for the Tartars to be so rampant! ”
Wei Wuhu roared loudly in anger, eager to conjure up tens of thousands of troops out of thin air.
Suddenly, the roar of the iron cavalry army charging also sounded in the south of the entire battlefield, and the tens of thousands of iron cavalry soldiers who were fighting were all terrified and looked at the dark night in the south.
Under the gaze of tens of thousands of iron cavalry, a battle flag of the bright sun and moon and a battle flag of iron cavalry and horse lance rushed out of the night, and then, I saw Wen Poyu leading more than 40,000 iron cavalry soldiers of the Changshui battalion to charge in formation, rushing towards the Mongolian army that was besieging the iron cavalry of the Hanwei army like a tiger descending from the mountain.
"Kill all the Tartars! Kill! ”
Wen Poyu pointed forward with the horse lance in his hand, and more than 40,000 iron cavalry soldiers of the Changshui Battalion also roared in unison, as if 40,000 fierce tigers were roaring, and swept across the entire battlefield with a diamond-shaped cavalry formation, and the 80,000 Mongolian iron cavalry with an unusually scattered formation were defeated and retreated, like falling leaves in autumn, and were swept into the sky by the iron cavalry army.
Kong Xuan and Wei Wuhu were overjoyed when they saw this, and cheered together with more than 10,000 iron cavalry soldiers in the whole army, and then together with the soldiers of the Changshui battalion, they launched an encirclement and suppression of the Mongolian iron cavalry army that had completely collapsed.
In the night, the moon hanging in the night sky turned blood-red, and a trace of dark clouds floated past the blood moon from time to time, making the entire battlefield extremely bloody.
At this time, Seleng had already been killed on the spot when the army of the Changshui Battalion had just rushed into the battlefield, and the thousands of Mongolian iron cavalry led by Seleng also collapsed and fled for their lives.
At this time, Sobud had already led hundreds of his own soldiers to flee north, and the entire Mongolian iron cavalry army was also scattered, and the battlefield was full of Mongol routs fleeing in all directions, which seemed very chaotic.
After Wen Poyu led the army to kill for a while, he successfully reconciled with the officers and soldiers of the Hanwei army under Kong Xuan and Wei Wuhu. At this time, Wen Poyu saw that the Mongolian iron cavalry army had been completely defeated and had no power to return to heaven, so he said to Kong Xuan and Wei Wuhu: "The superintendent has given this town an important task, and he must lead the army to set off now." The Mongol army here is no longer to worry about, and the two of you must lead your soldiers to destroy the enemy! ”
Kong Xuan and Wei Wuhu both clenched their fists when they heard this, and said, "The last general will be ordered!" ”
After speaking, the two continued to lead the Tiger Battalion and the Yue Cavalry Battalion Iron Cavalry Army to rampage on the battlefield, and continued to slash and kill the Mongolian Tatar soldiers who scattered and fled.
On the battlefield east of Shimen Pass, more than 10,000 iron cavalry soldiers of the Han Wei Army became more and more courageous, and launched a bloody massacre against tens of thousands of Mongolian Tatar soldiers who had been defeated. I saw a group of brave Han Wei army iron cavalry soldiers rampage, slashing one Mongolian Tatar soldier after another to the ground, and the battlefield was full of miserable shouts.
At night, the moonlit battlefield was strewn with blood and the mutilated corpses of the Mongols. After the Mongolian white flag main Seleng was killed by the iron cavalry soldiers of the Hanwei Army, the Mongolian blue flag master Sobud was also surrounded by the garrison Wei Wuhu and his army when he fled, and in a blink of an eye, he became a cold corpse on the ground with hundreds of personal soldiers around him.
After Wen Poyu formed his team a little, he led more than 40,000 iron cavalry soldiers of the Changshui Battalion into the dark night and rushed towards the direction of the big tent of the Hanwei Army.
At the same time, Liu Yunwei also received the urgent news that he would not receive the night, and together with the garrison Guo Yi, he led 10,000 Longxiang Iron Cavalry soldiers to set off as a whole army, and under the cover of night, they rushed out of the big tent of the Hanwei Army, and rushed towards the west of Shimen Pass.
Before leaving, Liu Yunwei deliberately sent a team of elites to rush away against the soldiers of the Changshui Battalion.
More than half an hour later, Wen Poyu, who was leading the army south, met the team that came to give the order, and learned that Liu Yunwei had led the Longxiang Iron Cavalry to take the initiative to attack, so he led the army from south to west according to Liu Yunwei's order, leading more than 40,000 Changshui Battalion Iron Cavalry soldiers to accelerate forward.
It didn't take long for the Changshui Battalion's Iron Cavalry Army to be like a giant dragon galloping in the night, plunging headlong into the dark night and never to be seen again.
West of Shimen Pass, six miles.
Huang Taiji, Dai Shan, Azig, and Zierharang led more than 70,000 people from the Manchu Banner of the Qing Army to flick a shot in the vicinity of the camp where the Hanwei Army's Yingyang Camp and Yulin Camp were stationed, and then disappeared into the night, suddenly turned and rushed towards the southeast.
