Volume VI The Battle of the Northern Frontier

Chapter 1 Rampant Liaodong War Tartars

Section 9 Clever Strategies to Defeat the Enemy (3)

In front of the phalanx of the trapped camp were crowded with more than 3,000 soldiers of the Zhenglan Banner Jiannu, these Jiannu soldiers waved their weapons and fought with the soldiers of the trapped camp, the battle was extremely fierce, and both sides were desperate to fight. However, in the face of heavy spears that were far longer than their own weapons, the three thousand Jiannu who rushed into the formation were unable to fight close to each other at all, and many of them were stabbed to death on the spot. As the war progressed, the morale of the Jiannu in this wave of attacks finally began to crumble, and they retreated one after another.

Wu Xing saw the opportunity in the formation, and immediately led three thousand Mo swordsmen to rush out, and three thousand cold horse chopping knives flew up and down, killing the Jiannu army that was retreating in front of the formation, and it completely collapsed after a while.

Wu Xing pursued and killed for a while, then led the army back to the phalanx, and then sent 1,500 bird guns from the trapped camp C Battalion to the front line, preparing to continue to meet the next wave of attacks by Zhenglan Banner Jiannu; The twenty Huzun cannons of the artillery battalion were also loaded and re-set up in front of the trapped camp, ready to fire again at any time.

In the distance, Amin watched his banner soldiers rout again, and his heart was annoyed, before Amin had sent the warriors in the banner to launch several attacks, but they were all repelled by the Hanwei army in front of him, the warriors suffered heavy casualties, and the morale of the army was greatly hit. However, Amin also knows that at this time, he can't retreat no matter what, Daishan's two red flag army has not shown up, and it must have been dragged by the rest of the Hanwei army, if he leads the army to retreat, the Hanwei army in front of him will definitely go north to participate in the war, and then the two red flags will face the desperate situation of being attacked by the enemy!

"Damn! Now this Ming army is equal to the strength of my Blue Banner, if the warriors continue to take the initiative to attack like this, the casualties will be too great, and the Ming army will seize the opportunity to bite back! ”

Amin kept thinking in his heart, trying to find a way to solve the dilemma in front of him, but after thinking about it, there was still nothing he could do, and his bare forehead kept bleeding stinky sweat. Looking at the still impregnable camp phalanx in front of him, Amin's heart could not suppress the idea of retreating: "If I lead the army and the two red flags to converge, can I turn the tide of the battle?" After all, the Hanwei army in front of him is all foot soldiers, and they can't catch up with my Blue Banner army. ”

Thinking of this, Amin was about to order the army to retreat to the north, when he suddenly heard the sound of war drums in the phalanx of the trapped camp in front of him, and then he saw that the huge phalanx composed of 10,000 Hanwei troops began to move slowly, and drove towards the blue flag array!

It turned out that Wu Xing saw that Zhenglanqi Jiannu no longer sent troops to attack, and expected that Amin wanted to retreat, so he led the army to meet him and forced Amin to continue the bloody battle with his trapped camp.

"It's just too deceitful!"

Amin's face was extremely ugly at this time, and his heart was full of entanglement, and after thinking about it for a while, Amin finally made up his mind again, and quickly mobilized three thousand foot soldiers to rush forward, including a thousand shooters. However, this time, Amin equipped 3,000 Jiannu soldiers with 300 "crazy horses", preparing to storm the camp phalanx, hoping that the tide of the battle would turn around.

Seeing this, Wu Xing roared, and the phalanx of the trapped camp stopped in response, and the steel "jungle" composed of thousands of heavy spears was erected again, and the three thousand Mo swordsmen were also ready to attack.

"Ready!"

"Put!"

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

The twenty Tiger Venerable cannons began to roar again, and in an instant, they swept down a large area of the three hundred "crazy horses". However, the remaining nearly two hundred "crazy horses" were even more crazy, and rushed to the phalanx of the trapped camp covered in blood.

At this moment, the fifteen hundred bird-gunners of the C battalion began the dance of death! Each platoon of 500 people, a total of three rows of bird-gunners shot in turn, and the continuous shooting made the 3,000 Jiannu who were charging suffer a lot, and the nearly 200 "crazy horses" who rushed to the front were the first to bear the brunt, and they were shot and killed on the spot one after another.

However, even if the firepower of the soldiers of the C Battalion was fierce, the Jiannu army still rushed to the phalanx of the trapped camp with huge casualties.

Seeing this, Wu Xing lifted the long knife in his hand and shouted: "Engage!" ”

After hearing the order, the soldiers of the C Battalion and the gunners of the Artillery Battalion quickly retreated, revealing the "city wall" composed of heavy spears and bright war horses and long knives behind them.

In the blink of an eye, the nearly two hundred "Crazy Horses" slammed into the heavy spear array, and more than 100 were killed by the sharp spears in an instant, but the manic "Crazy Horse" also broke a large number of spears. The rest of the "Crazy Horses" roared loudly and burst into the phalanx of the trapped camp, and many soldiers were knocked and trampled on by the manic war horses, and the casualties increased greatly for a while.

At this moment, the thousand archers in the Jiannu array also began to exert their strength, and the dense rain of arrows fell in the phalanx of the trapped camp, fierce and tricky, and many soldiers were hit by several arrows and fell in a pool of blood.

Wu Xing was furious when he saw this, and a Qin dialect containing the anger of thunder suddenly sounded: "Get up!" ”

"Slash! Chop! Chop! ”

Three thousand Mo • swordsmen attack in formation!

The bright and dangling horse chopping knife faced the "crazy horse" that broke into the phalanx, and the 3,000 Jiannu army that was killed afterwards slashed it, and blood was splashed in all directions. The remaining dozens of "crazy horses" turned into minced meat in the blink of an eye, and the army of Jiannu who killed them later was also firmly blocked, like waves crashing on the reef, shattering and bleeding.

Wu Xing and the soldiers marched together, not only killed all the Jiannu who broke into the phalanx, but also led the troops to cross the heavy pikemen, and launched a counterattack against the three thousand Jiannu army that rushed into the formation. After a hard fight for a while, the Zhenglanqi Jiannu, who had been defeated several times, was the opponent of the elite Mo Swordsman? Before, relying on 300 "crazy horses" to open the way, he was able to gain the upper hand for a while, but when Wu Xing led the army to attack, the army of 3,000 Jiannu gradually became dead and wounded, and the army was defeated.

"Run!"

"Defeated, defeated!"

"The Ming army is crazy!"

Looking at the scattered Jiannu army fleeing, Wu Xing hurriedly transferred the bird guns of the C battalion, and did not line up, but shot at the Jiannu who were fleeing at will. The constant roar of birds intensified the rout of Jiannu, and there were only more than 1,000 of the 3,000 Jiannu who fought before at this time, and it was these more than 1,000 defeated soldiers who brought the fear of defeat back to the Zhenglan Banner array.

At this time, Amin can be said to be angry, trying his best to suppress the more than 1,000 defeated soldiers, and wanted to regroup after transferring them to the big array, but it was useless, those Jiannu had already been broken, and they wanted to escape to a safe place, and they didn't listen to orders at all. And this kind of emotion infected the other Jiannu soldiers around, and in this way, fear spread wantonly in the Zhenglan Banner Jiannu array.

Suddenly, there was the sound of horses' hooves in the dark night in the north, and Amin looked over in horror, trying his best to suppress the fear in his heart: "Could it be that the Great Baylor is leading the army?" Wrong! Listening to the voice, there are only more than 1,000 horsemen, and the two red flag armies will not only have these horses, it is the Ming army! ”

"The army immediately retreated! Retreat to the west! Amin cried out with a pale face and a hoarse voice.

Amin knew in his heart that at this time, the morale of the Blue Flag army had reached the bottom, and it would completely collapse at the slightest disturbance, and the Ming army's iron cavalry killed from the north was the last straw that overwhelmed the army. Although retreating in the dark of night may lead to a rout, if you don't retreat, you will definitely be defeated! Amin, who had been on the battlefield for a long time, made a choice in an instant and commanded the army to retreat immediately.

Wu Xing laughed out loud and said, "Big brother is really calculating, this set of serial schemes will beat Jiannu dizzy!" After this battle, the Zhenglan Banner is considered to be wasted! Soldiers, attack with me! ”

The phalanx of the trapped camp immediately continued to advance, and slowly drove towards the Jiannu array. And the iron cavalry soldiers of the trapped camp who came to help also rushed towards the Jiannu Great Array that began to panic, and a thousand iron cavalry soldiers broke into the Jiannu Great Formation in an instant, without any resistance! Immediately, the already precarious military spirit of the Jiannu army was detonated, and the Zhenglan Banner army collapsed.

Amin watched in despair as the warriors in his banner fell one after another under the butcher's knives of a thousand Ming army iron cavalry, and watched thousands of warriors collapse on the spot, almost crying out in despair on the spot.

However, fortunately, Amin was also decisive, knowing that there was no chance in this battle, he directly gathered the Jiannu soldiers around him who were still able to obey his orders, and then led the army to flee all the way to the west.

Wu Xing always paid attention to the location of Amin's flag, and at this time, he saw Amin's battle flag moving towards the west from a distance, and knew that Amin was fleeing, but considering that there were not many cavalry in the trapped camp, he couldn't keep Amin's troops at all, so he simply didn't chase after him, but continued to command the soldiers of the trapped camp to besiege and kill the Jiannu rout soldiers who were still fleeing on the battlefield.

The encirclement and suppression war lasted for a long time, and it was not completely over until half an hour later. At this time, there was no longer a figure of Jiannu around the battlefield, and the tired soldiers of the trapped camp began to clean up the battlefield in groups of three or five. Wu Xing leaned on the corpse of a dead horse, panting heavily, obviously exhausted to the extreme.

After a while, General Qian of the first battalion came to report the results of the battle: "General Qiyu, in this battle, I have captured a total of 4,597 Zhenglan Banner Jiannu, 1,064 war horses, and no armor, swords and guns!" A total of 913 men and men of each battalion were killed. ”

Wu Xing nodded when he heard this, and said: "The whole army should seize the time to rest, and after a while, the army will go north, and the soldiers of the Changshui Battalion will encircle and annihilate the two red banners and Jiannu!" ”
