Volume VIII Troubled Times

Chapter 3 The two armies confronted each other in Ningyuan

Section 10: It is advisable to chase after the poor (1)

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

Dozens of artillery pieces on the head of Ningyuan City were still roaring, and the fierce artillery fire shrouded the southern wall of Ningyuan City in thick gunsmoke. And Yuan Chonghuan and Man Gui stood in the smoke of gunpowder and shouted frantically, shouting loudly towards the Zhenghuang Banner Array, which had been completely chaotic, as if they wanted to vent all the anger that had accumulated in their hearts in the past few years. The same is true of the Ming soldiers on the southern city wall, dancing and shouting loudly: "The slave chief is dead!" ”

It's like madness!

Although dozens of cannons on the southern city wall of Ningyuan are still roaring, in fact, not many cannons have fallen in the Zhenghuang Banner array, after all, only a few cannons on the head of the city are considered heavy artillery, but from time to time a few cannons fall in the Zhenghuang Banner array.

However, Nurhachi's battle flag fell down in the artillery fire, and it was like a mountain falling in the hearts of the Jiannu army, which had already had an irreversible impact on the morale of the whole army.

At this time, Huang Taiji and Azig also discovered the situation of the Zhenghuang Banner army, seeing that Nurhachi did not know whether he was alive or dead, both of them were extremely anxious, and almost at the same time ordered the two white flag armies to retreat immediately, and join the Zhenghuang Banner army as soon as possible, so that the combined troops could rush out and join the two red flag armies stationed in Guangning City.

"Khan Amak, don't let anything happen! At this time, if there is really anything wrong with Khan Amma, then the sky of my Dajin will really collapse! ”

Huang Taiji gathered his army and prepared to retreat, while secretly praying in his heart. After a while, Huang Taiji was extremely angry and found that the Zhengbai Banner army under his command could not leave the battlefield and retreat quickly! The more than 10,000 iron cavalry army of the Hanwei Army has always been entangled with the Zhengbai Banner Army, and they have dragged down the retreat of the Zhengbai Flag Army at any cost!

Huang Taiji hurriedly looked to the west, only to see that the army with white flags was facing the same situation, and was always blocked by thousands of Han Wei army iron cavalry, and the two sides were still rushing and killing each other, and they couldn't retreat at all.

"Liu Yunwei! You're going to die with my Golden Warriors! ”

Huang Taiji roared with extreme anger, and then his eyes were red and he gave an order that made his heart ache: "The three thousand warriors of the front army will attack the iron cavalry of the Hanwei army at any cost, and the rest of the soldiers and horses will immediately retreat and retreat back with the banner of Benbele!" ”

Faced with a desperate situation, Huang Taiji decided to abandon the car to protect the handsome! With the death of 3,000 troops, in exchange for the rendezvous with the army of the Yellow Banner!

Soon, 3,000 Zhengbaiqi iron cavalry, under the leadership of a Jia Lae Zhen, rushed towards more than 10,000 iron cavalry soldiers under Guo Yi and Gong County, and temporarily blocked the advance of the Han Wei army's iron cavalry with a fighting method that was almost life-for-life; The rest of the tens of thousands of white flag iron horsemen took the opportunity to quickly retreat backwards, and quickly retreated north under the leadership of Huang Taiji and broke away from the battlefield.

The army with white flags in the west was also concocted in the same way, and Azig left two thousand iron cavalry behind, and then led the main army to rush to the Zhenghuang Flag array.

Seeing this, Guo Yi was anxious, and immediately ordered the Long Xiang Iron Cavalry to attack the enemy army with all his might, wanting to deal with the three thousand White Flag Iron Cavalry as soon as possible, so as to pursue and kill the main army of Huang Taiji's department as soon as possible; And Gong Jun also continued to supervise the onslaught of the army, and even once led the personal guard iron cavalry to rush to the front and fight against the white flag Jiannu. Under the desperate killing of more than 10,000 iron cavalry soldiers of the Hanwei army, the 3,000 iron cavalry left by Huang Taiji were quickly swept away, and Guo Yi and Gong Jun immediately led the army to kill the 2,000 white flag iron cavalry army that was intercepting the iron cavalry army of the Yingyang camp in the west. In the blink of an eye, with the cooperation of Liu Sanming's subordinates, the two thousand iron cavalry with white flags were also wiped out, and they could not stop the onslaught of the iron cavalry soldiers of the Hanwei Army.

At this time, after Guo Yi, Gong Jun, and Liu Sanming each led the army to successfully join the division, they immediately reorganized their own troops, and then took the Longxiang Iron Cavalry as the arrow, the Yingyang Battalion Iron Cavalry on the left, and the Iron Cavalry of the Trap Camp on the right, the three Iron Cavalry armies totaled nearly 20,000 horses in the shape of a huge iron cone, and the Iron Cavalry Army slowly started in the roar of Guo Yi and the three of them, and rushed towards the Zhenghuang Banner Array, indomitable!

Right-flank battlefield.

When Li Tianhao led the soldiers of the Yue cavalry battalion to rush to the left side of the Zhenghuang Banner array, he happened to encounter more than 10,000 Mongolian iron cavalry and 20,000 traitor troops who had reorganized their formations.

The soldiers of the Vietnamese cavalry battalion struggled forward with a strict infantry battle formation, the first battalion garrisoned Jiang Hang, the second battalion garrisoned Wang Jun led the troops and 20,000 traitor troops to fight, and the soldiers of the Vietnamese cavalry battalion had to step on a thick layer of corpses every time they took a step, and the two sides fought for a while. The cavalry battalion garrison Wei Wuhu led his troops and more than 10,000 Mongolian iron cavalry to fight together, and the two sides clashed back and forth on the east side of the infantry battlefield, refusing to give in to each other, and the battle was extremely fierce in the galloping of thousands of horses.

Li Tianhao saw that those Mongols and traitor troops were becoming more and more courageous the more they fought, and they did not have the slightest intention of retreating, and knew in his heart that Nurhachi must have given the order to die, and those Mongols and traitor troops were afraid of Nurhachi's obscenity and did not dare to take half a step back, so they could only fight to the death.

In order to break through the enemy's blockade as soon as possible, Li Tianhao ordered Mang Gurtai's body to be hung on a cart and displayed in front of the battle, hoping to use this to severely damage the morale of the Mongolian iron cavalry and the traitor army. However, although the Mongolian iron cavalry and the traitor army were obviously affected, and the formation of the army was also killed and retreated by the soldiers of the Yue cavalry battalion, they still did not retreat because of this, and those Mongols and traitor troops were still fighting with the soldiers of the Yue cavalry battalion to the end.

Seeing this scene, Li Tianhao couldn't help but feel anxious but had nothing to do, so he could only strictly order the soldiers of his subordinates to continue to fight the enemy to the end at all costs!

At this moment, the artillery on the head of Ningyuan City in front was still firing at the Zhenghuang Banner array a mile away, and after a while, tens of thousands of people in the two armies saw Nurhachi's battle flag roaring down. At this moment, the soldiers of the Yue Cavalry Battalion went completely crazy, as if they had all turned into bloodthirsty tigers, and rushed towards the Mongolian iron cavalry and the traitor army; The Mongolian iron cavalry and the traitor army collapsed on the spot, especially those traitor troops directly broke up on the spot, and fled all over the mountains in a blink of an eye, and the Mongolian iron cavalry also withdrew towards the already chaotic Zhenghuang Banner army, a picture of a lost dog.

Seeing this, Li Tianhao's eyes immediately turned red and shouted loudly: "Assault! Assault of the whole army! Rush with me! After receiving the order for the general attack, nearly 20,000 soldiers also roared in unison, took advantage of the victory to cover the killing, and rushed towards the Zhenghuang Banner array.

Left flank battlefield.

At the moment when he saw the fall of Nurhachi's banner, the army with the yellow flag collapsed and retreated, and more than 10,000 troops with the yellow flag quickly retreated to the rear, and the formation of the army became more and more chaotic, and gradually lost its basic formation.

Gao Hongguang was surprised when he saw this, and immediately ordered the whole army to charge, chasing the back of the routed army with the yellow flag and killing the main yellow flag array.

Zheng Zhibao, Liang Hu, Liang Bao, Zhao Kang and other garrisons also roared wildly, and each led his subordinates to rush and fight all the way, always biting the tail of the yellow flag rout army and chasing all the way, never falling half a point.

At this point, after paying a huge price, the soldiers of the Hanwei army won the victory in the three battlefields of the middle, right and left wings, and tens of thousands of soldiers were killed in three ways towards the Jiannu main formation, and gradually formed a situation of encirclement of the Jiannu army!

In the distance, Liu Yunwei, who was watching the battle in the Hanwei Army, was even more excited when he saw this, and immediately ordered the pacesetter battalions A, B, and C to assemble, ready to personally lead the pacesetter battalion army to support the front-line soldiers and give the Jiannu army a fatal blow!

Zhou Tianyi and Hu Kun on the side hurriedly dissuaded, the two thought that now the Hanwei army had achieved a huge victory, and this battle had at least annihilated tens of thousands of Jiannu troops, and even beheaded the Jiannu blue flag master Mang Gurtai, which had dealt a heavy blow to the strength of Jiannu; In the case that great results have been achieved and the advantage of the Han Wei army is very obvious, Liu Yunwei really does not need to risk his life and personally lead the army to the battlefield.

You know, now the Jiannu army is at the end of the road, it is hard to guarantee that the dog will not jump off the wall in a hurry and fight back on the verge of death, if Liu Yunwei is not careful, there are three longs and two shorts, not only will the soldiers of the Hanwei army be leaderless, but this battle may also be turned over by Jiannu!

After listening to the advice of the two, Liu Yunwei frowned and thought for a while, then nodded slowly and said, "Order!" The officers and men of the Chinese army advanced 200 steps to reorganize the formation; At the same time, order the officers and soldiers of all departments to annihilate the Jiannu army at all costs! ”

The two of them were very happy to see that Liu Yunwei had accepted the advice, and Zhou Tianyi immediately went to convey the order.

And Liu Yunwei looked at the bloody battlefield in front of him and muttered: "It seems that this town will not have the opportunity to charge into battle and fight with a blade in the future!" ”

Hu Kun said with a straight face when he heard this: "The superintendent's words are wrong! The army should have its own duties, and the superintendent, as the commander of the army, should be in the middle army and command the battle, so how can he easily make mistakes? Leading the army to charge and blood-stained the battlefield are the responsibilities of the soldiers and generals of the army, and the superintendent must not exceed his authority! Besides, the superintendent made a decision on the battlefield and unified the army to conquer, and the more than 100,000 Tartars who were still defeated in front of him were not killed by the superintendent? ”

Liu Yunwei laughed when he heard this, and said, "What Governor Zhou said is extremely true! ”

Suddenly, a loud noise erupted on the battlefield in the distance, followed by the roaring voices of countless Hanwei soldiers: "Jiannu has broken through!" Kill! ”
