Section 12 Defeat and Escape
The left flank battalion of the Ming army.
Pan Zongyan fidgeted in the camp in full armor, and the sound of killing in the Chinese army camp several miles away shook the sky, and the dust raised by tens of thousands of Jiannu troops rushing to kill was clearly visible.
"What to do? If I don't support it, the town will definitely punish me severely, and I will not run away from the crime of sitting back and watching the Lord fall; But how can I help? There are only 3,000 men in our battalion, and the Jiannu Iron Cavalry can defeat our troops with a single charge. What the hell am I going to do! ”
Pan Zongyan was struggling, and suddenly felt that the sound of fighting several miles away suddenly became louder, and after a while, it gradually became smaller, and he said in his heart: "It's not good!" I'm afraid that Jiannu has attacked the camp, and the Chinese army is finished! ”
"Prepare for war! Prepare for battle! Pan Zongyan shouted loudly, grabbed a night and said, "Go find reinforcements!" Whoever it is, let him come and help! ”
That night, he cried and said, "General, where do you let me go to find reinforcements!" The West Route Army is over, our North Route Army is also over, and the two roads in the south don't know if they are alive or dead, where are there any reinforcements in Liaodong? ”
"Bastard! If you go to find it, you can find it, how can there be so much nonsense! Pan Zongyan kicked Naye Bu to the ground and roared loudly.
"I'll go!" That night, he ran to the war horse without holding his hands and feet, and rushed out of the camp on his horse. As for whether they went to find reinforcements, it is unknown.
Pan Zongyan said loudly: "Look! I won't accept it at night to ask for help, give me a dead guard, and the reinforcements will arrive soon! ”
The surrounding soldiers were doing their own things in their hands, carrying horses, holding arrows, and the whole queue were busy, and no one responded to Pan Zongyan, only he was left waving the war knife in his hand, shouting excitedly.
After a while, there were constantly routs running from the direction of the Chinese army in the distance, at first there were only a few sporadic people, and then slowly increased, more than a dozen people, dozens of people, and finally hundreds of rout soldiers crowded to the door of the left wing camp, crying and shouting to enter the camp to avoid the pursuit of Jiannu. The Ming soldiers guarding the camp gate couldn't bear it, and asked Pan Zongyan for instructions on whether to let the Ming army outside in.
Pan Zongyan was shocked when he saw this, and said fiercely: "Don't open the door!" Whoever dares to open the camp gate, I will cut him! ”
"General, it's all our comrades outside, it's our siblings!" The general who came to ask for an order said.
Pan Zongyan's eyes were bloodshot and he stared at the general, and suddenly slashed it over, and the general was in a different place, blood splashed Lao Gao, and Pan Zongyan was full of face.
"Lao Tzu said, whoever dares to open the camp gate, I will cut whom! Shoot me arrows and disperse the rebels outside! The life and death of the town are unknown, you defeated soldiers do not go to the bloody battle to build slaves, but flee to me, you should be killed! ”
The surrounding soldiers were stunned and looked at Pan Zongyan, who was almost crazy, and the archers were also at a loss, not knowing what to do.
"The general told me to wait in, we can help defend it."
"Pan Zongyan! Why didn't you save the Chinese army when it was surrounded? Let us in! ”
"Brothers, we can't live, pull them on the road together, break the camp gate and rush in."
Pan Zongyan was surprised when he saw the excitement of the defeated soldiers, and snatched the bow and arrow of the archer next to him, and pointed an arrow at the defeated soldiers outside the door.
"Ahh One of the routers was shot and fell to the ground. And the surrounding rout broke out all at once, knocking on the camp gate, and some people even began to swing their knives and chop.
"If you don't want to die, let me shoot arrows!" Pan Zongyan gritted his teeth and said.
The archers were forced by the situation to start firing arrows, after all, the camp gate was broken, the fortifications of the large battalion were destroyed by the rout, and they could not survive.
"Whoosh! Sou! Sou! "People kept falling to the ground, but it angered the routs even more, the camp gate of the camp was already crumbling, and the defense facilities such as horses and antlers outside the camp were also destroyed.
Nurhachi, Daishan, Huang Taiji, and Azig had already gathered six banners of soldiers and horses, and stopped at three miles from the left camp of the Ming army, and did not attack.
In the distance, the camp of the Ming army was in chaos, and the shouts even reached the Jiannu army array.
Nurhachi laughed and said, "Hahaha, you see, these Ming people suffered defeats, and instead of gathering the remnants of the army and fighting again, they quarreled with each other. This is the case with the Han people, who kill each other and quarrel with each other when a catastrophe comes. ”
"What Khan Ama said is that the Han people have indeed always been like this, how can it be like our Dajin warriors are united." After Huang Taiji finished speaking, he squinted at Dai Shan next to him.
"Well, Sibeile is right, you must always remember not to kill each other like the Han people."
"Sons should always remember the teachings of Khan Amma." Several people said.
Nurhachi said, "Okay, it's almost time. Azig, you lead the men and horses of your banner to attack, drive away the defeated soldiers of the Ming army, and continue to attack the left flank camp of the Ming army. ”
Azig said: "The son of the minister! ”
"Big Baylor, Four Baylor, after Azigetaiji drives the defeated soldiers of the Ming army to break through the camp, the two of you will each lead their own banner soldiers and horses to attack later, and you must annihilate the Ming army!"
Dai Shan and Huang Taiji said: "The son of the minister has the order! ”
At this time, the Ming army's camp was chaotic, and the rout outside the camp had gathered nearly a thousand people, all crying and scolding, and the camp gate was already crumbling under the push and slap of the rout.
Suddenly, I don't know who exclaimed: "The Tartars are coming!" ”
This scream was like a thunderclap, and it immediately exploded the crowd, and they all crowded desperately in the direction of the camp gate, and the wooden gate even made a burst of sound of wood breaking.
Pan Zongyan was sweating anxiously, this is how the Chinese army camp was broken, this was deliberately done by the Tartars, that is, to break through the defense line of the camp with the hands of the rout!
At this moment, only a "boom" was heard, and the camp gate collapsed, and more than 1,000 defeated soldiers swarmed into the camp. The Ming troops on the left flank of the battalion who were defending in formation were instantly disrupted, and many Ming soldiers were squeezed to the point of trampling, and the scene was out of control in an instant.
At this time, Azig led thousands of white flag iron cavalry to and fro outside the camp, and all the Ming soldiers who fled to other places and turned over to meet the battle were killed by the Jiannu iron cavalry, and most of the Ming troops poured into the camp under the drive of Jiannu.
"Archers release arrows, block the camp gate!" Pan Zongyan shouted.
No one paid attention to him, and with the collapse of the camp gate, the Ming army's courage to fight also collapsed, and the archers, pikemen, and musketeers were all running around, and the rout was mixed with the Ming army on the left flank, and there was no formation at all.
Pan Zongyan saw that the general trend had gone, so he hurriedly gathered his family and wanted to find a way out to escape. But when he saw the camp gate out, there was another burst of exclamations, and then the tidal wave of iron horsemen of various banners and slaves swarmed into the camp. The chaotic Ming soldiers in the camp were completely targeted, and the Jiannu who were killed in were wantonly slashed and trampled on at will, and the screams, cries, and begs for mercy were intertwined, and the people who listened were heartbroken.
Pan Zongyan whimpered in despair, and was about to get on his horse and run away. But even if Pan Zongyan was unlucky, Azig took dozens of white flag iron horses to kill this side. Pan Zongyan's family members saw that the master general had already been six gods and had no master, and he was in a panic, and he didn't care about the life and death of the soldiers in order to survive, and he had already left morality.
Azig saw Pan Zongyan at a glance, immediately cheered, and rushed over on his horse, ignoring the Ming soldiers along the way. The moment he rushed to Pan Zongyan's side, the tiger spear in Azig's hand stabbed Pan Zongyan off the horse with a fierce stab, only to see that Pan Zongyan's chest was filled with a bloody hole the size of a bowl, and he was no longer alive.
"The commander of the Ming army is dead! The commander of the Ming army is dead! Azig shouted loudly, and then slaughtered the Ming army.
Dai Shan and Huang Taiji were also leading the army to besiege and kill the Ming soldiers, and after learning that Azig had killed the main general of the Ming army, they all publicized it.
After the Ming army rushed into the camp in Jiannu, although they scattered and fled, there were also a considerable number of soldiers fighting with Jiannu, after all, there was no way to escape, so it was better to pull a cushion to die together. But at this time, when he learned that the main general Pan Zongyan was dead, the little courage that the Ming army still had was gone, and they all fled in shock.
Only a moment later, the Ming army in the left wing battalion was slaughtered, and no one survived.
Escorted by hundreds of yellow flag guards, Nurhachi came to the camp covered with blood and stumps, and was very happy.
"Okay, the four-way Ming army has gone to the second! The remaining Ming army is only Liu Ting's department on the East Road, and there is still a threat, and if Liu Ting is destroyed, my Dajin will win a big victory in this battle! ”
"Son, see Khan Amma!" Dai Shan, Huang Taiji, and Azig came to Nurhachi.
Nurhachi said: "Well, the three of you fought bravely in this battle and made great achievements, I am very relieved! ”
"Erchen didn't dare to take credit."
Nurhachi said: "In this battle, our army broke the Ming army's army on the north road, and then I intend to go south to attack Liu Ting's Ming army on the east road, what do you think?" ”
Dai Shan said: "Hui Khan Ama, according to the scout's report, the Ming army Li Chengbai has just walked to the vicinity of Qinghe City, and the movement is very slow, which shows its fear of war, and now the Ming army only has Liu Ting left all the way to pose a threat to our army, so Khan Ama's proposition is very wise." Erchen is willing to be the vanguard, go south to attack Liu Tingbu, with the shame of the two red flags of the snow, and the pain of the loss of my son! ”
Nurhachi said with relief: "Great Belle is ashamed and brave, very good. Next, the battle of Liu Ting, what do you think of Sibeile and Azigetaiji? ”
Azig said: "Khan Amma, our army has won many big victories and morale is high, as long as Khan Ama moves his army south, he will definitely be able to break Liu Tingbu, how can these little tricks of the Ming people stop my big golden iron horse?" ”
Nurhachi said: "Liu Ting is not a member of Marin and Juniper, and Liu Yunwei's department is also strong, and the two blue flags and 10,000 iron cavalry of Erbeile do not have the upper hand in front of their thousands of soldiers and horses, so they should not be underestimated." ”
Huang Taiji said: "Hui Khan Ama, Erchen thinks that in the battle with Liu Tingbu, my Dajin Iron Cavalry will definitely win, but the casualties will be not small." It's better to win by tricks. ”
"What's the strategy?" Nurhachi asked.
"Please enter the urn?"
Dai Shan said: "I don't know how Sibeile invited Liu Ting into the urn? ”
"Haha, when we fought Juniper's Department before, didn't our army capture Juniper's arrow sigil?"
"Haha, the four Baylors have a very good plan!" Nurhachi praised.
