Chapter 5 The Heroic Tragedy of the Battle of Liao Shen

Section 8 The Bloody Battle of the Hunhe River (6)

"Woo~~" The low horn sounded, the two white flags of Jiannu attacked from the north, the red flag attacked from the east, the white flag from the west, the blue flag from the south, and the five banners attacked separately; The army of Jiannu with the blue and yellow flags was left in the formation by Nurhachi and used as the decisive force for the final blow.

Seeing that Jiannu launched a full-scale attack as soon as he came up, the soldiers of the Qi family army were not panicked, but had a high fighting spirit, and under the calm leadership of the general Chen Ce, the general Tong Zhonghua, the deputy general Qi Jin, and the general Zhang Mingshi, they actively deployed defenses, and vowed to fight to the death with the Jiannu army.

The two armies are facing each other, and the situation is changing.

In the blink of an eye, the army of nearly 50,000 Jiannu of the Five Banners surrounded it, and the Jiannu Iron Cavalry, which was rushing to the forefront, had already entered the range of the firecracker, ready to attack with cavalry shooting.

At this time, a terrible swan whistle sounded in the camp of the Qi family's army, and the bird guns in the Qi family army stepped forward one after another, and the bird guns on each side were lined up in four neat rows, and there were hundreds of soldiers in each row.

"Ready!"

All the first-row Birdgunners lifted their jet-black Birdgunners flat and aimed at the approaching army of Jiannu.

"Put!"

"Bang! Bang! Bang! ”

The surroundings of the Qi family's army camp suddenly became smoky, and countless Jiannu iron horsemen who were galloping wildly on horseback fell off their horses with the roar of birds, and the Jiannu camp was in chaos for a while. After the soldiers in the first row fired, they immediately handed the bird gun in their hands to their comrades in the back row with their left hand, and at the same time took the bird guns handed over by their comrades in the back row with their right hands; In this way, the Qi family's four rows of bird guns cycle back and forth, just like the four rows of machines that keep passing bird guns, never stopping, and the speed is extremely fast! The roar of the bird gun never stopped for a moment, and the roar of the bird gun echoed over the entire battlefield, from the moment the battle began, the bird gun of the Qi family army never stopped!

In the face of the fierce shooting of the Qi family army like a torrential rain, the desperately charging Jiannu army can be described as suffering heavy casualties, everywhere are wounded by lead bullets, everywhere are wounded and fallen to the ground, everywhere are mutilated dead bodies.

Huang Taiji and Azig led the two white flags to be responsible for the main attack direction in the north, watching the warriors in their banners rush towards the Qi family army in vain, but they could not get close to the Qi family army camp within thirty steps, and those archers, followers, and coats who did not have heavy armor protection suffered heavy casualties, almost falling in pieces with the roar of firearms.

"Four Baylor, we can't fight like this anymore! The warriors can't afford this kind of attrition! Azig exclaimed, his eyes red.

Huang Taiji's eyes were also red, staring at the battlefield in front of him viciously, and shouted: "Then what do you say you should do!" Why are these Qi Jiajun's firearms so sharp! ”

"What about those artillery pieces in Shenyang? Why didn't Khan Ama fight with artillery, he had to let the warriors fill with their lives! ”

Huang Taiji also thought about it suddenly when he heard this, and hurriedly sent someone to ask Nurhachi for artillery support. It didn't take long for Huang Taiji and Azig to receive a reply from Nurhachi: "The artillery is too heavy to arrive here from the north bank of the Hunhe River. The soldiers and horses of all banners continued to attack, and those who dared to wait and see and hesitate were immediately killed. ”

Hearing such an order, a trace of bitterness swelled in the hearts of Huang Taiji and Azig.

Huang Taiji sighed heavily and said, "Taiji, let's continue to oversee the onslaught, otherwise once Khan Ama gets angry, we will suffer." ”

At this moment, the two of them only heard bursts of cheers from the battlefield in front of them, and saw that the soldiers of the Qi family army were thunderous and imposing, and Huang Taiji and Azig glanced at each other, and their hearts were all secretly bad. Sure enough, the two of them saw that the two white flag armies in front of them suddenly let out a wail, and then retreated like a tide.

Huang Taiji and Azig looked at the countless two white flag warriors passing by, their faces full of astonishment, unwillingness, and timidity. Azig grabbed a vest that was about to flee and shouted, "What's wrong?" Why run away! ”

The vest said in despair: "Master, go quickly!" Those Ming troops were killed, and the three generals who led the army in front of the battle, Yabahai, Buha, and Sun Zaqin, had already died! ”

Azig was immediately annoyed when he heard this, hacked the horse armor to death with a knife, and then led his own soldiers with Huang Taiji to crush the soldiers with all their might, but to no avail. It didn't take long for the two of them to be swept away by the rout like a tide, and they fled to the Jiannu main camp in panic.

At this time, Nurhachi, who was watching the battle, saw that the two white flag armies were actually defeated by the Qi family's army in front of him, and he was immediately furious, and he wanted to order Mang Gurtai to lead the blue flag army to support.

However, before the army with the blue flag was assembled, the battlefield ahead changed again. I saw that the two red flags and the blue flag army that attacked the east, west, and south of the Qi family army also broke up one after another, and countless Dajin warriors panicked and fled for their lives.

And the Qi family army of thousands of people dared to divide the troops into four ways and killed them directly, only to see about ten Qi family soldiers as a team, forming many very strange formations, constantly harvesting the Jiannu soldiers who fell behind.

Nurhachi was already extremely angry at this time, and he couldn't believe that tens of thousands of golden warriors were defeated by thousands of Qi family troops in a single confrontation, which was even more terrifying than a nightmare. Now the entire battlefield is full of fleeing Dajin warriors, and the banner generals and banner owners cannot contain the decline of the army at all.

"What's wrong with going on like this!" Nurhachi immediately made a decision and immediately ordered Mang Gurtai to lead an army of 15,000 with blue flags to attack, and directly attack the camp of the Qi family army from the north, so as to cover the withdrawal of the soldiers and horses of the banners. Otherwise, if you continue to flee in such a chaotic rout, Daikin will be completely defeated in this battle!

Mang Gurtai also saw the urgency of the situation, hurriedly reorganized the army with blue flags, and led the army to attack in less than a stick of incense. The 15,000 blue flag army charged in formation, directly killing the Qi family army camp, and Mang Gurtai rushed to the front, constantly shouting loudly to boost the morale of the army.

Qi Jin, Chen Ce and others, who were commanding the soldiers of the Qi family army to chase and kill Jiannu's rout, saw Jiannu with a blue flag and killed the camp, and they were worried that the soldiers who went out of the camp to pursue Jiannu would make a mistake, so they hurriedly ordered the whole army to retreat and guard the camp, preparing to deal a fatal blow to Jiannu again.

Seeing that the reinforcements had arrived, the two white flag Jiannu who were retreating gave way to a frontal attack, and quickly retreated to Nurhachi's home formation under the command of Huang Taiji and Azig, seizing the time to regroup the formation; At the same time, Amin and Daishan also took advantage of this opportunity to hurriedly gather the defeated troops, reorganize the formation, and prepare to re-enter the battle.

In an instant, Mang Gurtai led the army to a place 100 steps away from the camp of the Qi family's army, and was just about to order the vanguard iron cavalry to accelerate the attack and suppress the Ming army with bows and arrows. Suddenly, he heard the thunderous sound of fire in the Qi family's army camp, and saw countless lead bullets shooting into the iron cavalry array where he was like a torrential rain.

It turned out that Qi Jin saw the arrival of the new force of the blue flag as soon as he saw it, so he urgently mobilized 300 bird gunners from the left and right flanks of the camp, and together with all the bird gunners in the north, he gave the blue flag Jiannu a salvo of 1,000 people, and instantly blinded the blue flag Jiannu.

"Ready! Put! Qi Jin saw that the soldiers had been reloaded, so he ordered to shoot again.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! The fierce bird roared again, and the iron cavalry of the blue-flag-inlaid Jiannu who was still charging on the horse suddenly fell a large piece, No matter how brave and impactful the blue-flag Jiannu was, they couldn't get within twenty steps of the Qi's army camp, but they were killed and wounded.

At this time, Mang Gurtai finally understood the mood of Huang Taiji and Azig before, those elite warriors who had followed him for many years were killed without even seeing the face of the Ming army, and they couldn't show their bravery at all, where is this war, this is clearly a naked massacre!

Seeing that the two white flags, two red flags, and the blue flag army had successfully retreated, Mang Gurtai hurriedly sent people to ask for his life, wanting to retreat first. But he received a strict order from Nurhachi: "Continue to attack, and those who retreat will be killed immediately!" ”

In the face of the sharp bird strikes of the Qi family's army, in the face of the twenty steps of the death zone, they still rushed forward one by one, and then they fell in a pool of blood.

Seeing this, Qi Jin and Chen Ce, who were supervising the battle, not only did not have a little joy in their hearts, but instead filled with deep worry.

Qi Jin said: "Commander, it seems that the slave chief is determined to fight us to the end, and if he fights like this regardless of casualties, then Nurhachi is really ruthless!" ”

Chen Ce nodded, and said worriedly: "Although our Qi family's army is strong, but after all, there are fewer troops, even if the casualties of Jiannu are twice as many as our army, but after a long time, we will still be at a disadvantage." In my opinion, we have to make plans early, although this battle has achieved the goal of re-creating slaves, but the main force of the slaves is still there, and we can't kill the battle. ”

Qi Jin pondered for a moment and said: "Zongzhen, I think we should ask Yuan Jingluo for reinforcements, if Yuan Jingluo can mobilize a large army to attack Jiannu, this battle may be able to gather and annihilate most of Jiannu here!" ”

Chen Ce's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said, "This plan is very good! I will immediately send someone to Liaoyang to ask for help before breaking out! ”

As soon as the words fell, Chen Ce and Qi Jin heard an even more deafening sound of iron hooves outside the camp, and they were all shocked in their hearts, and hurriedly looked out, only to see a bright yellow battle flag appearing behind the army with blue flags.

Seeing this, Qi Jin hurriedly shouted: "Beat the drum!" The whole army fights to the death! The Slave Chieftain has entered the war! ”
