Chapter 122: The Battle of Juehua Island (Part II)
Zhang Xinchen shouted again: "Put down your arms and don't kill, put down your arms and don't kill." ”
Hou Jin Bing looked at the surrounding situation and understood that there was no point in continuing to resist stubbornly, and one of Hou Jin soldiers sighed and put the knife in his hand on the snow.
With the first one, naturally some people will follow suit, and soon more people will put down the weapons in their hands, and for a while, the sound of weapons smashing on the ground is endless.
Zhang Xinchen saw that most of the people had already put down their blades, and let people shout: "Kneel on the ground, kneel on the ground and don't kill." ”
Now that the blade has been put down, kneeling at this time also seems to make the Houjin soldiers feel that it is not unacceptable, one by one the Houjin armor soldiers knelt on the ground, and soon there were only a few standing armor soldiers in the encirclement.
Zhang Xinzhong shouted: "The last time, stand and die, count three times, one, two, three." ”
With the three counts, there were still five armor soldiers standing without kneeling, Zhang Xinchen waved his hand, and dozens of firearms fired at the same time, beating the five armor soldiers with holes all over their bodies, and then slowly fell to the ground.
This scene of on-the-spot murder was the most shocking, and some Houjin soldiers were so frightened that they kowtowed again and again, for fear that the guards would kill them together.
Zhang Xinchen called an infantry battalion commander and said, "Take them in." Then he rushed out with the other soldiers and shouted, "Go and catch Huang Taiji." ”
Huang Taiji had already escaped more than a mile from the mouth of the ice wall, and at this time Zhang Xinchen led people to rush out, so that the two yellow flag soldiers who were attacking outside the ice wall also found that the master had fled, let out a shout, and began to flee to the other side.
Zhao Shujiao also rushed out of various openings with the guards and began to chase the fleeing Houjin soldiers. Xiong Tingbi also joined the pursuit with a part of the cavalry.
Xiong Tingbi has been in Liaodong for a long time, so he first prepared a large amount of thick cloth tied to the horseshoe, so that the horses can barely walk on the ice. The addition of cavalry made the escape of the Houjin soldiers almost meaningless. Xiong Tingbi took the lead, and when he saw that the Houjin soldiers were an arrow, he could shoot the bow left and right, one arrow at a time, and shoot the fleeing Houjin soldiers to death on the ice.
The other cavalry rushed behind the Houjin soldiers, and fired almost against the vests with firearms, and the Houjin soldiers had already lost the courage to fight back at this time, and only knew that they kept running forward, and were killed by the cavalry of the Guards on the way to escape.
After the Jin soldiers walked for nearly two hours, and fought for a long time, their strength had been almost used, and on the way to escape, they thought that they would have to run for two hours to return to the other side, and they couldn't lift their breath in their hearts no matter what, and some people knelt on the ground and didn't want to move anymore while walking.
The guards simply ignored these kneeling and begging for mercy, and there was only one thought in their hearts, to catch the fleeing slave chief, especially the one called Huang Taiji, the division commander said that whoever caught Huang Taiji could get the highest Gold Star Medal of Courage.
One group of people fled, another group of people chased, although the horse did not run fast, but it was still easy to shoot on a horse, so after an hour, almost all the Houjin soldiers were either killed or surrendered on their knees, but no matter how they searched, they did not find Huang Taiji.
Seeing that it was not far from the shore, Zhao Shujiao ordered the whole army to retreat. On the way back, the Guards kept escorting back the prisoners who had fallen to their knees, and when they returned to Juehua Island, they cleaned up and found that there were more than 5,000 prisoners.
Soon the statistics came out, and a total of 2,530 Jiannu soldiers were killed and 5,120 were captured. The Guards suffered 252 casualties, 370 seriously wounded and 980 lightly wounded.
This shows the effect of the war of annihilation. In fact, the number of Houjin soldiers killed on the battlefield was not very large, but about 1,000 people were killed during the pursuit war, and all the wounded were killed, and most of the prisoners were captured during the pursuit war.
This battle boosted the morale of the soldiers, making them feel that the field battle of Jiannu was nothing more than that, and if they met the Houjin soldiers next time, I believe there should be no more fear.
And at this time in the Houjin camp, Huang Taiji and Azig and Dudu were kneeling on the ground, and Nurhachi shouted angrily: "Give you almost a hundred Niu Lu soldiers, you have lost more than 7,000 people, we have never been so defeated in the battle with the Ming army, you say, how to punish you will make everyone convinced." ”
Huang Taiji kowtowed again and again: "The sons and daughters have lost their soldiers and generals, and they have high hopes for their father's Khan, so please punish their father's Khan." ”
Azig and Dudu also kowtowed again and again, although Duoduo was the nominal lord of the Yellow Banner, he knew that after a hundred years of his father Khan, all this was his own, and he said in his heart that it was impossible without resentment. He was about to speak, but when he saw the cold light in the starling's eyes shining towards him, he was stunned and suddenly speechless.
Nurhachi remembered that Huang Taiji was not very relieved about attacking Juehua Island, and because of the tight time, the Houjin soldiers did not have enough rest, knowing that the responsibility for this failure was not actually on Huang Taiji. But he was unwilling to admit his mistakes, so he said: "The three of you will temporarily take the position of banner master, and if there is any mistake, the new and old accounts will be counted together, and you will take away your Baylor." ”
The three of them kowtowed together and said, "Thank you for your father (grandfather) Khan's generosity, and your son (grandson) must be conscientious and serve the Great Khan." ”
Nurhachi couldn't swallow this breath no matter what, and shouted: "Reorganize the people, I will personally attack Juehua Island." ”
Duoduo said happily: "Father Khan, the child is willing to be the striker. ”
Huang Taiji just stood up, and immediately knelt down and said: "Father Khan, Liaonan and Liaodong are in danger, please don't care about a small Juehua Island." The fundamental land of Liaodong had to be saved, and the children of Juehua Island would definitely be taken by their father Khan in the future. ”
Dudu and Azig were already a little frightened in this battle, and they immediately knelt down, and they all thought that it was not appropriate to attack Juehua Island at this time, and that they should focus on Hetuala, first defeat the Ming army in Liaodong, and then Tujuehua Island.
When the other generals saw that the three Belles all knelt down in opposition, they all knelt down and begged the Great Khan to go back to Hetuala, and only Dordor stood still.
Nurhachi was actually just pretending to be a gesture, he also understood that the newly defeated army was no longer possible to attack Juehua Island, and now all the generals thought that they should not attack Juehua Island again, so they naturally got off the donkey down the slope and agreed.
At the moment, everyone discussed together, with Azig with the yellow flag in the front, Nurhachi with the yellow flag in the middle, and Huang Taiji and Du Du with two white flags in the back, and sent troops to Haizhou.
The scouts of the second division on Juehua Island reported the news, and the general staff felt that if they pursued, they should be able to intercept part of the Houjin troops, but the second division did not have a cavalry battalion, only about 600 horses, and the pursuit with infantry had to prevent the Houjin soldiers from killing a horse gun, so it was finally decided that Xiong Tingbi would lead 600 cavalry as the vanguard, and Zhao Shujiao would lead the 1st Infantry Brigade as the rear army, and the tail would pursue the rear of the Houjin army.
All kinds of requests, thank you for your support!
