Section 10 Han Cavalry Raid and Tartar Capture (2)

"Boom! Boom! Boom! ”

Several war drums of the Hanwei Army battalion were beaten by the soldiers, and the soldiers of the Feiyu Battalion and the Yingyang Battalion were in high morale and lined up. Except for a part of the soldiers of the Yingyang battalion who continued to guard the two wings and rear of the battalion, all the remaining troops of the two battalions were transferred to the front of the battalion by Wu Xing and Gao Hongguang, preparing to fight the menacing Tartar army to the end.

Wu Xing and Gao Hongguang pressed all the more than 3,000 bird-cuffers of the two battalions, and there were more than 1,000 soldiers in each row of the three rows of horizontal formations formed by the soldiers, which can be described as strong firepower; The sixty Huzun guns of the two artillery battalions were still at the forefront, and the gunners had already loaded the guns, and they could bombard the Tartar army with just an order from Wu Xing. At the same time, Wu Xing and Gao Hongguang also organized two thousand battalions with a total of more than 3,000 soldiers to line up behind the horizontal formation, preparing to counterattack when the Tartar army retreated.

It didn't take long for seven or eight thousand Mongol Tartars to rush to a distance of two hundred paces from the Hanwei army camp with carts and shields, and the three thousand Jiannu army with yellow flags also rushed up.

Seeing this, Wu Xing immediately ordered the artillery battalion to open fire and violently bombarded dozens of carts covering the Tartar captives.

"Singles salvo! Preparation! Put! ”

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

Sixty Huzun cannons under the skillful operation of hundreds of gunners continued to fire, after three rounds of continuous firing, only a dozen of the Mongolian Tartar carts were left to survive, and the rest of the carts were destroyed on the spot by the cannons, and the sawdust that was splashed everywhere by the cannons was extremely lethal, and the Mongolian Tatars around the cart suffered deeply, and many people were stabbed and fell to the ground. However, under the strict supervision of the three thousand Yellow Banner Jiannu in the back, thousands of Mongolian Tartars still approached the Hanwei army camp step by step, and they were able to maintain the morale of the army.

Seeing this, Wu Xing hurriedly ordered the artillery battalion to replace it with scattered shells, and immediately retreated after a round of shelling.

"Swap the sons! Preparation! Put! ”

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

The dense iron curtain appeared again, as if a big net of death was shrouded in the military formation of the Mongol Tatars, which took the lives of hundreds of Mongol Tatars in an instant, and the remaining dozen or so carts were also "banged" by scattered bullets.

"I can't stand it! Come on! ”

"Why don't the Jianzhou people rush to the front?"

"The descendants of Genghis Khan cannot be used as cannon fodder! Come on! ”

After this round of volleys, the morale of the Mongol army could no longer be maintained, and they immediately began to break and flee backwards, directly colliding with the 3,000 Yellow Banner Jiannu who were supervising the battle in the rear.

Seeing this, Nurhachi was so angry that he scolded, and strictly ordered the leading troops to crush the troops with the Yellow Banner Gushan Ezhen Bullet, and at the same time sent two thousand Yellow Banner Iron Cavalry to support.

Just when the Mongolian army was retreating in confusion, Wu Xing said to Gao Hongguang: "There is Lao Gao's guerrilla army to attack, let's also kill the Tartars!" ”

Gao Hongguang couldn't ask for it, and immediately led the two thousand general battalions of the Yingyang battalion and three thousand soldiers to kill the battalion, and followed the Mongolian rout all the way to cover the kill, which accelerated the speed of the rout of the Mongolian army.

"Soldiers, kill all the Tartars! Rush up! ”

Gao Hongguang shouted excitedly, and the spear in his hand struck out like a swimming dragon, killing fourteen Mongolian Tartars in a row. The surrounding Yingyang battalion soldiers saw that the main general god warriors were angry, and they roared and chased after the Mongolian rout, until the Mongolian Tartars were invincible in the sky and had no way to enter the earth, and they only hated their parents for putting two legs on themselves.

At this moment, Gao Hongguang heard the horn of the battalion to collect the troops, the voice was very urgent, and he was suddenly startled in his heart, and hurriedly stopped the pursuit, and was about to lead the soldiers to withdraw to the battalion. But he didn't expect to be a step too late, and the two thousand heavily armored iron cavalry of the Yellow Banner had already killed him from the right side of the battlefield and went straight to Gao Hongguang's department.

Gao Hongguang was shocked when he saw this, and said secretly: "The Tartar of the Zhenghuang Banner is really powerful, and it is worthy of being the elite among the Jiannu!" ”

"Soldiers, formation! Dense formation! ”

As soon as Gao Hongguang's words fell, more than 3,000 soldiers hurriedly lined up in the direction of the Yellow Banner Iron Cavalry, and Rulin's spear pointed forward, like a jungle that was not afraid of the raging wind, standing still.

"Wan Sheng! Wansheng! ”

In the roar of the 3,000 soldiers of the Eagle Yang Battalion, the 2,000 Yellow Banner Iron Cavalry suddenly changed formation three hundred steps in front of the formation, like a huge vulture, swept in front of the formation, and killed the flank of the Ying Yang Battalion phalanx.

Gao Hongguang was shocked when he saw this, at this time, the army had no time to adjust the formation, and there was only one way to fight to the death. So, Gao Hongguang ordered all the soldiers to stick to the formation, and at the same time led a hundred guards to the flank of the phalanx, ready to fight with the Yellow Banner Iron Cavalry.

Soon, two thousand iron horsemen with yellow flags collided with the Yingyang Battalion phalanx, and instantly crashed into the formation, trampling hundreds of Yingyang Battalion soldiers to death.

Gao Hongguang was furious when he saw this, and brought his guards to meet him with guns, and the soldiers instantly formed several horse rejection formations to intercept the Zhenghuang Banner Iron Cavalry, but with little success. Two thousand iron horsemen with yellow flags continued to rush into the Yingyang camp phalanx, constantly disintegrating the formation of the soldiers, and the situation was very critical.

Wu Xing watched the soldiers of the Yingyang Battalion fall into a bitter battle in the big camp, and immediately led the trapped camp and the cavalry battalion to which the Yingyang Battalion belonged, and 3,500 iron cavalry soldiers rushed out of the camp under the leadership of Wu Xing, and approached the trapped soldiers of the Yingyang Battalion.

"Good! The main general of the Hanwei army finally came out of the battalion. Nurhachi looked at the moving battle flag in the distance and laughed excitedly, while seizing the time to collect the Mongol rout, while sending three thousand iron cavalry with yellow flags to intercept the iron cavalry of Wu Xing's department. I saw the 3,000 iron cavalry of the Yellow Banner passing through the chaotic tide of Mongolian routs and heading straight for the iron cavalry of the Hanwei Army.

Seeing this, Wu Xing had no choice but to lead the iron cavalry soldiers to turn their troops to meet the Zhenghuang Banner Jiannu Iron Cavalry first, and the two sides collided together in an instant, and a fierce battle began.

By this time, the entire battlefield had been divided into two smaller battlefields. One is the battlefield where Gao Hongguang led the soldiers of the Yingyang battalion to fight with the 2,000 Yellow Banner Iron Cavalry, and the other is the battlefield where Wu Xing's department and the 3,000 Yellow Banner Iron Cavalry hedged. The Mongolian army that was being assembled and the rest of the soldiers in the camp of the Hanwei army were all hurrying to prepare for battle, and it would not be long before they would be in one place.

Looking at the chaotic battlefield in front of him, Nurhachi said secretly: "As long as the two Hanwei armies that took the initiative to attack are annihilated, the remaining Hanwei troops in the camp will not be worried, and I Dajin will be able to win this battle!" ”

Thinking of this, Nurhachi wanted to mobilize three thousand iron horsemen with yellow flags again to join the battle besieging Gao Hongguang's department, and suddenly a feeling of extreme danger came to his heart, as if he was being targeted by a devouring beast, which made Nurhachi feel restless.

didn't have time to think about it, Nurhachi hurriedly ordered more than 12,000 warriors of the Zhenghuang Banner and 10,000 warriors of the Yellow Banner who had not yet participated in the battle to retreat two miles back and assemble, as for those Mongolian iron cavalry, they gave up directly, and Nurhachi didn't care about their life or death.

As soon as the two Yellow Banner armies began to move, they saw a large number of iron horsemen appear on the hillside south of the battlefield, looming in the pre-dawn darkness. At this moment, the rising sun slowly rose, and the first rays of sunlight in the morning sprinkled on the distant hillside in a flash, Nurhachi, Wu Xing, Gao Hongguang, and everyone on the battlefield looked at the southern hillside, and an army of nearly 10,000 iron cavalry appeared in everyone's sight. A golden battle flag of the bright sun and moon and a golden dragon battle flag fluttered in the wind, and a tiger general was galloping in front of the iron cavalry array, roaring loudly.

"Wan Sheng!"

"Reinforcements are coming!"

When the officers and men of the Hanwei Army on the battlefield saw that the reinforcements had arrived, they immediately broke out into a burst of cheers, and the morale of the whole army soared. When the officers and men of the whole army were facing a crisis, Liu Yunwei, the commander-in-chief, led the soldiers of the Longxiang Iron Cavalry and the cavalry battalion to come to support!

Nurhachi, on the other hand, was full of shock, and hurriedly ordered the whole army to leave the battlefield and retreat immediately. The more than 20,000 taels of Yellow Flag troops who had not yet participated in the battle were okay to say, and it didn't take long to retreat two miles back and reline the formation. However, the thousands of taels of Yellow Flag Iron Cavalry who were fighting on the battlefield, as well as the Mongolian Iron Cavalry, which still had no formation, were not so lucky, and they were completely exposed to the front of the Han Wei Army's Iron Cavalry.

Liu Yunwei galloped in front of the iron cavalry array, and then pointed his spear at the battlefield in front of him, and roared loudly: "Hu no one! ”

"Han Daochang!"

"Hu no one!"

"Han Daochang!"

"Assault of the whole army!"

"Wan Sheng! Wansheng! Wansheng! ”

Amid the roar of 8,500 iron cavalry soldiers, a huge cavalry formation rushed down the hillside towards the chaotic battlefield, swept down like an unusually violent wave, and slashed into the battlefield from the left side of the Hanwei army camp. The first to bear the brunt was the thousands of Mongolian iron cavalry, which were instantly rushed by the wolf-like Han Wei army of iron cavalry, and they had no power to fight back at all.

Liu Yunwei rushed to the front on horseback, and the Mongolian Tartars pointed at by the spear were killed one after another, while Guo Yi led fifty horsemen and guards to follow closely behind Liu Yunwei, like a group of soul envoys constantly killing the Mongolian Tartars.

Soon, Liu Yunwei led the army to completely defeat thousands of Mongolian iron cavalry, and at this time, the mountains were full of Mongolian routs fleeing in terror. After that, Liu Yunwei ordered the transfer of troops to kill the two yellow flag iron cavalry in the battlefield.

Seeing this, Nurhachi was immediately shocked and hurriedly ordered the whole army to retreat, but where could he easily withdraw in a hurry? Whether it was Wu Xing or Gao Hongguang, they all led the soldiers of their subordinates to desperately entangle the Jiannu iron cavalry in front of them, and did not give Jiannu a chance to retreat at all.

In desperation, Nurhachi had to lead the two Yellow Banner armies into the battlefield and fight to the death with the reinforcements led by Liu Yunwei. At this moment, Nurhachi saw in despair the gate of the Hanwei army's camp open, and the 20,000 troops in the camp went out of the camp to participate in the battle!
