Volume 1 Liaodong Shock

Chapter 4: The Bloody Battle of the Tartars Killed the Country

Section 23 Defeat!

Just when Liu Yunwei and Wen Poyu led the Ming army to fight hard, the Six Banners Jiannu army, which was repelled by the Ming army's phalanx in the distance, was slowly retreating, and three slightly scattered long dragons were winding and wriggling towards the rear.

Lu Yingwang saw that the morale of the various banners of Jiannu was low, and when they retreated, they were extremely uncoordinated between the infantry and cavalry, and the retreating formation was a little scattered, and he secretly said in his heart: "Jiannu has failed to concentrate the main force to attack this time, and its morale is very low, and it has begun to decline, and our army can send troops to cover up and drive away!" ”

So, Lu Ying ordered the war drums in the camp of the Ming army to be beaten, and ordered all battalions of the Ming army to chase and kill Jiannu.

Hearing the passionate sound of war drums, Wu Xing, Zhao Kaishan, and Li Tianhao led their troops to pursue.

Wu Xing's extermination array steadily advanced in front of the road, and the soldiers of Jiannu along the way really died when they encountered it, and they died when they touched it, and they all broke if they were in their way! The pikemen in the back followed closely and then covered the kill; And Zhao Kaishan and Li Tianhao also killed vigorously, the two Ming armies attacked from the two wings of the Ming army's formation, the unsuspecting Jiannu was suddenly in chaos, and the Ming soldiers killed Jiannu to the sky and had no way to enter the ground, screaming and fleeing backwards.

Seeing that the soldiers of each battalion had already succeeded, Lu Ying even sent the assembled 3,000 people to the battlefield, and followed behind the soldiers of the Ming army in each battalion to cover up and pursue Jiannu. These people may not be as brave as the soldiers of the Ming army, and their combat skills may not be as good as the elite of Jiannu, but they all have a warm blood and a heart of hatred for the Tartars, so they all forgot to die behind the soldiers of the Ming army, killing and wounding a lot of Jiannu soldiers.

In this way, countless Jiannu who fell at the end of the team were killed by the Ming army who caught up, and countless Jiannu iron horsemen who retreated were killed by the arrows of the Han family. Slowly, the orderly retreat of the banners turned into a chaotic retreat, and then it turned into a rout!

Dai Shan, Mang Gurtai and Amin were commanding the warriors in the banner to retreat, only to see that the Ming army suddenly abandoned the phalanx and launched a fierce attack on the retreating warriors. Several people suddenly became excited, thinking that they could take advantage of the Ming army's irregular formation to attack again. But then the retreat of the flags turned into a big rout, Dai Shan and the others looked at the panicked warriors in the banner in a daze, and looked at the big golden iron horsemen who trampled on each other and ran away in amazement, and they didn't react for a while.

After a long while, Dai Shan, Amin and others reacted from the shock, and shouted loudly to direct the soldiers in their respective banners to retreat, and at the same time organized the soldiers who could still control it to launch a counterattack to block the pursuit of the Ming army, but the rout still continued and spread to the entire army.

After Liu Yunwei entered the Two Yellow Banners Array, Huang Taiji and Azig received an order from Nurhachi to support the Two Red Flags and the Two Blue Flags. At this time, the two were just about to put their troops and horses into the battlefield, but when they saw the defeat of the two red flags and the two blue flags, they were immediately surprised and hurriedly ordered support.

However, it was too late, the two white flags Jiannu had been beaten by the Ming army led by Liu Yunwei and Wen Poyu, and their morale was very low. No matter how Huang Taiji and Azig bounce and suppress, it will not help.

Not only that, when the rout soldiers who fled in astonishment and fled passed through the two yellow flag phalanxes, the two yellow flag Jiannu, who had been beaten very depressed by Liu Yunwei's troops, didn't know what was going on, and saw that tens of thousands of soldiers in the six banners were actually defeated, and suddenly the army was in turmoil, and the formation retreated with the rout, and then it also evolved into a rout!

When Nurhachi saw that his tens of thousands of undefeated Dajin warriors were defeated by the Ming army, which was only a few thousand, the shock in his heart had reached an incomprehensible level, and his long face turned purple. After a long while, Nurhachi squeezed words from between his teeth: "Spread the decree, the banners and banners will withdraw the warriors in the banners, and the whole army will retreat ten miles to reorganize the formation." ”

"Huh!" The guards on the side hurriedly went to give the order.

At this time, the soldiers of the Ming army who were deeply trapped in the two yellow flags were still rushing and fighting, and suddenly felt that the pressure in front of them had dropped sharply, and the two yellow flag soldiers retreated one after another, and then they trampled on each other and began to rout.

Liu Yunwei and Wen Poyu were both taken aback, and the two looked at each other in disbelief, not sure what happened, could it be that the imperial court sent another army?

Liu Yunwei said: "No matter how much, take this opportunity to rush out and join the army!" ”

As a result, Liu Yunwei led the soldiers of the Ming army to fight fiercely in the direction of the Ming army's phalanx, and soon rushed out of the two yellow banners and Jiannu phalanx, at this time there were only more than 400 Ming soldiers left.

Liu Yunwei saw that the route was full of the rout of Jiannu's banners, and his heart was happy, and after returning to the Ming army camp to see Lu Ying and others who had just collected troops and returned to the camp, Liu Yunwei and Wen Poyu knew that the defeat of Jiannu was not because the imperial court sent reinforcements at all, but because of the unexpected situation that occurred in the process of pursuing Jiannu.

Liu Yunwei and Wen Poyu were a little disappointed, but they were proud to think that they could defeat tens of thousands of Jiannu. Seeing that the Jiannu army was gathering the rout and slowly retreating, Liu Yunwei breathed a sigh of relief and ordered not to monitor the movements of Jiannu at night, and the soldiers of the whole battalion seized the time to rest.

Nurhachi took the lead in retreating ten miles with the two yellow flags, and after a long time, Dai Shan, Huang Taiji and others also gathered the warriors in the banner and slowly retreated to converge.

As soon as Nurhachi saw the dejected Dai Shan, Huang Taiji and others, the anger in his heart could no longer be suppressed, and he broke out in an instant: "Bastard! Is that how you lead the troops? was defeated by thousands of Ming troops, and the routed soldiers even impulsively attacked my two yellow flags, which simply lost the face of my big gold! ”

Dai Shan, Huang Taiji, Azig, Amin, and Mang Gurtai saw that Nurhachi was furious, and they all rolled off their horses and knelt on the ground, not daring to let out of the air. No one has come forward to defend it, and for whatever reason, it is unforgivable to fight like this.

After scolding for a while, Nurhachi took a breath and said: "Passing the decree, the two red flags, two white flags, and two blue flags were lost in the battle, so that the success was lost, and each flag won a bull and was assigned to two yellow flags." The main of each banner was fined 100 taels of silver as punishment. ”

"Sheikhan Ama (Great Khan) will punish him, and his sons (minions) will do their best to repay me with great gold."

Nurhachi said: "This defeat can't be counted like this, you immediately go and gather the warriors who are still able to fight in the banner, and I will concentrate the whole army again and vow to exterminate Liu Yunwei's troops!" ”

When everyone heard this, they were all bitter in their hearts, Dai Shan and Huang Taiji rarely stood on the same front, and begged Nurhachi together, saying: "Khan Ama can no longer fight, the banners have already suffered tens of thousands of warriors, plus the more than 5,000 warriors who lost in the fierce battle with Liu Tingbu before, the banners have been injured and can no longer fight." If we continue to fight, the results of this war to wipe out all aspects of the Ming army will be lost! ”

Amin, Azig, and Mang Gurtai also echoed: "Khan Ama (Great Khan) collect the troops, then Liu Yunwei's department has been severely damaged by our army, and the Ming Kingdom was defeated in this battle, and Liu Yunwei will be severely punished by the Ming Kingdom even if he returns alive." ”

Nurhachi listened to it, insisted on ordering an attack, and named Azig and Mang Gurtai to lead the iron cavalry to storm the Ming army camp again. Seeing that Nurhachi was already angry, the two did not dare to say anything, and hurriedly mobilized troops and horses to attack the Ming army camp, while the rest of the banners were also prepared for shield and chariot foot combat under Nurhachi's strict orders.

Liu Yunwei received an urgent report that he would not receive it at night, and when he learned that Jiannu was attacking again, he said: "It seems that the slave chief still does not give up." ”

Lu Ying said: "Big brother, we should concentrate all the elites of our army, and in one fell swoop, Jiannu will attack and defeat this time, if this is the case, Jiannu will retreat!" ”

Liu Yunwei nodded and said, "That's right, if there is another rout, the slave chief will probably even have the heart to die." ”

Therefore, Liu Yunwei immediately selected hundreds of soldiers who were good at riding from the battalion, together with more than 400 soldiers who had withdrawn after the previous shock of the two yellow flags, and once again gathered a thousand iron cavalry, and went out of the camp again with Wen Poyu to meet the battle.

Azig and Mang Gurtai looked at the oncoming Ming army and felt bitter: "This Ming army still has the combat strength to fight? ”

The iron horses of the two sides fought together in an instant.

Liu Yunwei yelled and slaughtered the oncoming Jiannu, and the hatred in his heart decreased by one point for each Jiannu he killed. was killing, only to see a Jiannu white flag general in front of him killed, this person is Azig!

Azig waved a tiger gun in his hand and stabbed Liu Yunwei violently, but when he saw the gun in Liu Yunwei's hand swinging up, Azig only felt a sharp pain in his hands, and the tiger gun was picked off with one blow! Immediately afterwards, Liu Yunwei stabbed again and went straight to Azig's chest.

Unable to dodge, Azig was so frightened that he swerved to the side with his superb riding skills to dodge the deadly shot that stabbed him. But what Azig didn't expect was that the steel spear in Liu Yunwei's hand stabbed out so quickly that it stabbed Azig in the shoulder before he could completely dodge. Liu Yunwei slammed it and directly picked Azig off the horse. The surrounding iron cavalry with white flags saw that the brave lord would be picked off his horse with a blow, and the morale of the Ming army was greatly boosted.

At the same time, Wen Poyu was also killed with Mang Gurtai, and the horse lance in his hand was as light as a weight, which made Mang Gurtai tired of parrying, and he was injured if he didn't pay attention. Mang Gurtai was horrified in his heart, and hurriedly fled back to his own camp from the battlefield, and the Blue Banner Iron Cavalry also left some corpses and fled back with the main general.

At this time, the soldiers and horses of the Jiannu Brigade were still preparing for the shield car and had not yet attacked.

Liu Yunwei and Wen Poyu covered up and killed for a while, and even once killed two hundred steps away from Nurhachi. Liu Yunwei rode in front of the battle, pointed out the steel gun in his hand to Nurhachi under the yellow umbrella, and shouted and scolded: "Old slave and lowly species, one day, I swear to destroy the entire Jiannu clan!" ”

The whole army of Jiannu was terrified, and the formation even retreated slightly. Nurhachi was even more furious, but seeing that the fighting spirit of the banners had been lost, and the bannermen had lost their will to fight, not only Mang Gurtai was injured, but Azig did not know whether he was alive or dead, so he hurriedly ordered the troops to be withdrawn.

Liu Yunwei saw that Jiannu had withdrawn and returned to the formation, and sent a night to investigate, and learned that Jiannu had indeed withdrawn, Liu Yunwei didn't care about cleaning up the battlefield, and hurriedly led the army to retreat and rushed towards Shenyang.

After this battle, Liu Yunwei led the soldiers of the Ming army to kill and wound more than 12,000 soldiers and horses of the Jiannu banners, seriously injured the Jiannu inlaid white flag master Azig and the blue flag inlaid with Mang Gurtai, and recaptured the remains of Liu Ting, the chief general of the Ming Army's East Route Army, and Liu Zhao, the staff general, which can be described as brilliant results, but due to the hasty withdrawal of the army, the head of the Jiannu was only more than 1,000 ranks.

The Hanwei battalion was besieged by nearly ten times the Jiannu army, and more than 4,000 soldiers were buried in Liaodong.
