One thousand and fifty Nurhachi's decision
When Chu Ying saw his messenger again, it was just a head and a headless corpse.
Chu Ying was very angry, and personally killed the messenger sent by Nurhachi, cut off his head, and sent cavalry to throw it in front of Nurhachi's formation, expressing his will.
If you want to fight, I will fight! Don't blame me for not being emotional!
On the afternoon of September 15, the Qin army buried the pot to make rice, ate a meal of bacon and dried rice, had a full meal, saved up enough strength, and after the lunch break, they prepared to attack Chimney Mountain under the organization of Ma Chong, intending to give Nurhachi a little color to see.
Although Mao Wenlong was sent out to lead the troops to attack the Jianzhou troops, it is still unknown whether it can be successful, and the effect is also unknown.
At that time, if Mao Wenlong succeeds, the morale and spiritual blow to the Jianzhou soldiers will be fatal.
At the foot of the mountain, the artillery was lined up, ready to bombard at any time, and when Nurhachi saw that the Qin army's artillery was about to bombard, he decisively ordered the army to attack, not to let the Qin army's firearms advantage come into play, and to fight in close combat.
A thousand-strong squad of Jianzhou soldiers immediately attacked under the order of Yi Yidu, and Qin saber shieldmen and gunners immediately rushed to the artillery position to set up a formation to protect the artillery team.
And at the same moment, the artillery began to roar.
Boom Boom ——————
The artillery of the Qin army began to bombard, and the frontal bombardment caused the Jianzhou soldiers to be blown to pieces, and the scene was extremely tragic and spectacular.
The power of the improved Furlong locomotive cannon and flowering shell has been greatly improved compared with before, and it has gradually become an indispensable part of the Qin army's combat sequence.
Under the bombardment of artillery, the Jianzhou soldiers rushed forward under the bombardment of artillery, and the losses were not small, and they were blown into a sieve by the explosion without paying attention, or they were simply blown to pieces, but they still did not stop the charge, which shows that they still have courage.
After three rounds of artillery bombardment, the Jianzhou soldiers rushed to the range of the bow and crossbow, and immediately bent their bows and arrows and began to shoot, the Qin army had already prepared for this, and the shield soldiers immediately protected the gunners and gunners, and the bow and crossbow team quickly moved forward and released arrows to counterattack under the cover of the shield soldiers.
The two sides began a contest of bows and crossbows, and the result was undoubtedly that the Qin army had the upper hand, and the bows and crossbows of the Jianzhou soldiers were uneven, with the Qin army's standard crossbows and arrows and their own original bows and arrows, which were not as good as the Qin army's continuous crossbows, and they were inferior in range and frequency.
They themselves don't have better defensive measures, they don't have the wealth and wealth of the Qin army, everyone has armor, they rushed all the way to death, rushed to the front of the Qin army, and most of them were killed and wounded, and they were stabbed by the Qin army's gunners' bright guns.
After a while, the first round of impact ended in front of the Qin army's large array, and the last Jianzhou soldier was stabbed to death by three large guns, and the Qin army's artillery was no longer threatening, and began to act under the protection of the infantry army's large array, constantly advancing forward to increase the coverage of artillery fire.
Nurhachi saw this failed charge with a blushing face, and his heart was full of anxiety.
He had no artillery, nor did he have long-range weapons sufficient to counter artillery, and the effective range of their bows and arrows was only seventy or eighty paces, while the range of the Qin artillery was more than a mile.
If they didn't rush forward, they could only flee and retreat step by step under the artillery fire of the Qin army, exhausting the already small morale.
Realizing his weakness, Nurhachi understood that the only chance to win was to charge in close combat, so under his orders, Eyidu personally led a mixed army of infantry and cavalry to start the operation, launching a desperate charge against the Qin army.
This mixed infantry and cavalry army charged swiftly despite the fierce artillery fire of the Qin army.
Within a distance of about a mile, the Qin artillery was forced to retreat before it could bombard a few times, and more sword and shield men and gunners rushed forward to form a solid iron wall formation, directly containing the momentum of the Jianzhou army's charge.
At this time, Ma Chong also directly ordered Luo Rong to lead the cavalry into the battle, and the Great Qin black-armored cavalry roared up and joined the battle group, which immediately turned the fierce Jianzhou soldiers into confusion.
The Jianzhou infantry, which had lost its group organization, was defeated by the Qin army, which was tightly formed and advancing step by step.
The Jianzhou cavalry did not have any advantage over the black armored cavalry of the Shang Qin army, and the two sides fought for about half an hour, and the Jianzhou soldiers left a corpse and retreated in embarrassment.
The Qin army did not pursue, but the artillery team that had been waiting in the rear stepped forward to bombard again, killing the Jianzhou infantry in the rout.
This battle was killed from the afternoon to dusk, it was over, the Qin army won the first battle, the morale soared, the Jianzhou soldiers lost a corpse and retreated, if it were not for the sun was about to go down, the Qin army did not plan to impact again, it is estimated that Dazhai as a line of defense will be lost.
According to the statistics after the war, the Qin army killed 118 people, seriously injured 261 people, and lightly injured more than 700 people, while the relative beheaded 791 Jianzhou soldiers and annihilated more than 3,300 Jianzhou soldiers.
Moreover, the dragoons also participated in the battle, and I don't know how many people were killed, but as long as they were hit by lead bullets, with the medical level of the Jianzhou Jurchens, they would definitely die, and it is estimated that the death toll will increase after they go back.
Ma Chong looked at the statistics of the results and was very happy, feeling that this battle could be won quickly even if it was directly face-to-face, although the price to be paid may not be very small, Xiao Ruxun may not be happy.
On the night after the war, Ma Chong ordered the whole army to cook broth and eat dry rice to reward the soldiers to celebrate the victory, while the Jianzhou army was gloomy.
In the fact that the strongest infantry and cavalry mixed troops under the leadership of the fierce general Yi Yidu were so badly killed and wounded, 5,000 people participated in the battle, and less than 1,000 came back intact, and E Yidu's arm was injured again, and he was still beaten by the Qin army's musket, and the bleeding did not stop, and it took a lot of cloth to barely stop the bleeding.
Nurhachi looked at the pale forehead Yidu, very sad, and then looked at An Feiyangu and Fei Yingdong, and saw that these two people were also gloomy.
Or else? What else? In high spirits?
With a great defeat and heavy casualties, the morale of the entire Jianzhou army was severely damaged, and they had strong doubts about whether they could defeat the Qin army.
The strongest generals have failed, let alone them.
Can you still win by taking the initiative? Can it still be defeated?
They all have this doubt.
"If we continue like this, we will be wiped out in a few days, and we will not be able to continue to take the initiative."
Fei Yingdong tried to persuade Nurhachi.
"Yes, the Han army is too capable of fighting, and we must defend to the death in order to delay time and consume their grain and grass."
Anfyangu also made such a suggestion.
Nurhachi shook his head.
"The range of the Han artillery is too long, we can't hit them at all, but they can hit us, if we can't defend it, we can only be blown up alive by them!"
An Feiyangu and Fei Yingdong looked at each other.
What Nurhachi said is very reasonable, if you stick to it, isn't it just waiting to be bombed and then being blown up alive?
So what to do?
The two looked at Nurhachi together.
"Night Attack!"
Nurhachi gritted his teeth and made up his mind.
