Chapter 4 The Bloody Battle of the Tartars Killed the Country

Section 10 Capture of Dongshan

Nurhachi, Dai Shan, Huang Taiji, and Azig watched for a while, and saw that there was a hill to the east of the Ming army's camp, and the terrain was relatively gentle, and you could look down on the Ming army's camp.

Nurhachi pointed to the east mountain and said to everyone: "That hill can be described as a favorable location, our army should first occupy the high ground on the mountain, from the mountain condescendingly, not only can see the Ming army's virtual reality, but also can attack the military camp of the Marin army from a high position, so that we can take the lead." ”

"The Great Khan is wise." Several people said.

Huang Taiji said at this time: "Qi Khan Ama, Erchen Guanna Dongshan is not big, my tens of thousands of troops are all estimated to be unable to be used in the past, it is better to bring two yellow flags to Khan Ama to go, we are lined up here, so far echo can be perfect." ”

Nurhachi nodded and said, "Yes, yes." ”

So, Nurhachi led the two yellow flags to the east and came to the foot of the southern slope of the East Mountain, preparing to climb the mountain from the southern slope. And Huang Taiji, Dai Shan, and Azig led their troops to stay put, waiting for an attack.

At the same time, Ma Lin and Ma Yan have been paying close attention to Jiannu's movements, at this time, seeing that the Jiannu army was divided into two, and the two yellow flags of thousands of men and horses were slowly moving, marching towards the east hill, Ma Lin said with some worry: "If Jiannu is allowed to occupy Dongshan, they can condescendingly storm our army's camp and occupy the geographical advantage." The strength of our army is not as good as that of Jiannu, and if we lose our geographical advantage, it will be lifeless. ”

Ma Yan also said: "Yes, but most of the Jiannu are in line with the same place, and our army can't move." How is this good? ”

Marin said with a hideous face: "No! We must attack, send someone to the left flank, inform Pan Zongyan to take the initiative to attack, contain most of the Jiannu, and let's march to Dongshan! ”

Ma Yan said worriedly: "Pan Zongyan's department only has 3,000 people, can it contain tens of thousands of Jiannu troops?" Zongzhen, it is better to let the left flank return to the army in the army, let's join forces to stick to the camp, and at the same time send the night to the south to find General Liu Ting or General Li Chengbai to come to support, what do you think? ”

Marin shook his head and said, "Join forces in one place and stick to the camp?" In that case, under the siege of tens of thousands of Jiannu troops, the morale of the army will be completely exhausted, how long can we hold on? One day? Or two days? As for reinforcements, don't count on it, God knows how long it will take for the other two to arrive. ”

"Alas, what the general said is that it seems that you can only follow the words of the general and survive in death." Ma Yan said helplessly.

The left flank battalion of the Ming army.

Pan Zongyan has already received the news that the night is not closed: the Jiannu army is on the side of the Chinese army camp, confronting the main force, and the right wing camp has been broken by Jiannu.

At this time, the left wing battalion was already on full alert, and Pan Zongyan was patrolling the defense around the battalion, reprimanding the poorly prepared soldiers from time to time, and his temper was unusually irritable.

"More than 10,000 people, and they are divided into three roads, now it's okay, the right wing was directly wiped out by Jiannu, and he was also targeted by the Jiannu army, how can this battle be fought!" Pan Zongyan complained in his heart.

At this time, a family member of Marin came to the left wing battalion, and after seeing Pan Zongyan, he conveyed Marin's general order and said: "The general town is strictly ordered, and after General Pan receives the order, he will attack immediately without delay!" ”

Pan Zongyan looked at the general order in his hand, only to feel that anger suddenly arose, and said in his heart: "I only have 3,000 people in a battalion, let me contain tens of thousands of Jiannu army?" Let me go to death! Are you kidding! ”

So, Pan Zongyan said to the herald's family: "Our people are holding on to resist Hu, as for the attack? You go back and tell Ma Zongzhen that our troops are insufficient to attack. ”

Na Jia Ding said: "The attack of the left battalion is a strict order from the general, is General Pan going to disobey the order?" ”

"Disobedience? What is this order called? 3,000 infantry to pin down tens of thousands of Tartar cavalry? How do I contain it? ”

"Ma Zongzhen has ordered, the Chinese army soldiers attacked to capture Dongshan, the Chinese army is only 9,000 people, the general town is not afraid of life and death, is General Pan afraid of death?" That Ding said in a hard tone and said coldly.

Pan Zongyan was silent when he heard this, and thought, "It seems that it can't be done without attacking." If you don't attack, you will be charged with fearing the enemy, and if you don't make trouble, you will die. In that case, there is no way. ”

Thinking of this, Pan Zongyan said: "Okay, you go back and report to Ma Zongzhen, and I will immediately lead my troops to assemble and attack to contain the main force of Jiannu." ”

"So much the best!" After saying that, he immediately went back to report the news.

At this time, a Qian general manager next to him said: "General, are we really going to attack?" Just our people, aren't we going to deliver meat to the tartars? ”

"The general of the town is here, what do you think I can do? Disobedience? Pan Zongyan said angrily.

"What does the general mean?"

Pan Zongyan sneered and said, "Of course, I acted according to orders. Immediately go and gather troops and horses, and after two hours, attack with me to contain the main force of Jiannu. ”

Mr. Qian smiled and said, "Hehe, let's go and give the order!" ”

The camp of the Ming Army.

Half an hour has passed, and Ma Lin has already assembled the 9,000 soldiers and horses in the battalion, but he has never seen the left wing Pan Zongyan's troops attack. Ma Lin sent two more groups of family members to urge, but the reply he received was: "Our department is assembling to resolutely contain the main force of the house slaves." But then there was no news.

Seeing that the two yellow flags of Jiannu were about to occupy Dongshan, Ma Lin couldn't hold his breath anymore and scolded: "Damn Pan Zongyan! After this battle, Lao Tzu will definitely engage him in military law! Solve the hatred in my heart! ”

Ma Yan said with a worried face: "Zongzhen, it seems that Pan Zongyan is stubborn and can't hold out, without the response of the left wing, will we still attack?" ”

Ma Lin was also entangled, thought about it, and said: "Let's attack, if we can force Jiannu to give up Dongshan, we can hold on for a little longer, otherwise, alas!" ”

Ma Yan's heart was also heavy, and he said: "Not long after this war began, first the Western Route Army was completely annihilated, and then the Northern Route Army where he was located was in trouble, how did this battle become like this?" ”

Ma Lin no longer waited for news from Pan Zongyan's troops, and immediately ordered the whole army to attack, and the Ming soldiers slowly drove out of the camp, drove to the open space in front of the camp, gathered the cavalry, artillery and musketeers outside the camp, and began to regroup.

"Let's hope this battle turns around." With a heavy heart, Marin and Ma Yan led the army to attack, slowly approaching the East Mountain.

The 9,000 Ming army formed a huge phalanx, the infantry formed several small phalanxes in the middle, the gunners pushed the artillery and the musketeers walked in front of the infantry phalanx, the archers lined up at the end, and more than 1,000 cavalry guarded the two wings of the phalanx.

Ma Lin and Ma Yan rode their horses and walked in the big array, looking at the Jiannu on the east mountain, their expressions were extremely grim. But there is no choice but to fight for the commanding heights of Dongshan.

At this time, Nurhachi led his troops to reach the top of Dongshan Mountain, and saw from a distance that the main force of the Ming army was coming in formation, and he was overjoyed in his heart, and said: "Okay! The Ming army took the initiative to attack, and this was to take the initiative to attack our department and fight for Dongshan. It seems that I don't need to climb the mountain, I can take advantage of the Ming army's march and scattered formation to defeat it. ”

Therefore, Nurhachi ordered to leave a small army to garrison Dongshan, and most of the remaining two yellow banners rushed directly to the Marin department.

I saw 20,000 taels of yellow flag iron horsemen rushing down from the hillside, and the momentum was like tens of thousands of heavy armor charges, which was very amazing. It is no wonder that the two yellow flags are the most elite soldiers and horses in Jiannu, whether it is soldiers or equipment, they are the best in the Jin country. What's more, Nurhachi himself was in the cavalry formation, charging into battle with the soldiers, and the morale of the 20,000 Jiannu iron cavalry was unprecedentedly high, and they all rushed to accelerate the charge, all wanting to make meritorious contributions in front of the Great Khan.

The Ming army's large array was marching, and Ma Lin saw that the two yellow flag Jiannu had taken the initiative to give up Dongshan and killed his own Chinese army, so he was taken aback and shouted loudly: "The whole army retreats!" Retreat to the camp to defend against the enemy! ”

Ma Yan stopped on the side: "No! Retreat at this time, morale will definitely collapse, and it is possible for the army to collapse at that time! ”

"There is no camp to block Jiannu, as long as one charge can break through the phalanx!"

"Then why do you want to take Dongshan? I told you not to attack, why didn't you listen! Ma Yan didn't care about what Shangguan was not going to be official, and shouted loudly.

Ma Lin shouted angrily: "Our army is not afraid of fighting with the Jiannu Iron Cavalry in the Dongshan Mountains, after all, the mountains are not suitable for galloping horses, who knows that Nurhachi actually rushed down directly?" ”

Ma Yan asked, "Could it be that Jiannu will fight according to your ideas!" ”

"Less nonsense! The whole army retreated! Fast! Marin no longer paid attention to Ma Yan, and the whip in his hand kept whipping the family member, telling him to go and give the order quickly.

In the face of the roaring Jiannu Iron Cavalry, hearing the general order to withdraw to the battalion, the soldiers of the Ming army suddenly became chaotic, and the formation began to disperse.

Ma Yanqi stomped his feet and led his family to patrol the formation, constantly restraining the soldiers to strictly guard the formation and retreat quickly.

However, how could the large phalanx of 9,000 people change formation and retreat so easily? Besides, Nurhachi would not give the Ming army time.

"Cavalry strike! Block the slave iron horse! Marin ordered. There is no way, although the cavalry is the elite of the battalion and the henchmen of the generals, but the matter has come to this point, they can only abandon the car to protect the commander, after all, saving their lives is more important than anything else.

I saw more than 1,000 cavalry of the Ming Army, under the leadership of a thousand generals, launched a suicidal charge towards the 20,000 taels of yellow flag iron cavalry.

"Rumble!" At this time, the sound of ten thousand horses galloping came into Ma Lin's ears, as if it was the sound of tens of thousands of war horses trampling on the ground. Marin felt strange in his heart, it was just a hedge of 20,000 cavalry, how could there be such a noise?

Suddenly, I saw Ma Yan's dejected horse rushing over, only to hear it shout: "General Town, the main force of Jiannu is here, tens of thousands of Jiannu!" What to do? ”

"yes, what to do?" Marin looked at Ma Yan blankly and asked in a lost voice.

"You!" Ma Yan was angry and said, "The Lord will be like this, how can he not be defeated!" ”
