Section 11 Scuffle
Nurhachi saw from afar that the Ming army's large array was out of ground, and the formation became very chaotic, and he was overjoyed, and pointed his spear in his hand, and then ordered the two yellow flag iron cavalry to charge with all their strength, trying to break the Ming army's large array in one fell swoop.
"Whew!" The thick horn sounded, the speed of the two yellow flag iron horsemen increased again, the earth trembled under the trampling of the war horses, and the 20,000 Jiannu let out a ghostly shout, and pounced on the Ming army that was changing formations and retreating.
Suddenly, there was a sound of horses' hooves in front of the Jiannu iron horse, and Nurhachi looked at it: he saw more than a thousand Ming army iron horsemen speeding up!
"Humph! I don't think I can do anything, but I dare to stand in my way! However, I didn't expect that this Marin also had some determination to break his wrist, but it didn't help. Nurhachi sneered and shouted, "Kill! Kill with all your might! ”
The iron horses of both sides charged with all their might, and they collided together in an instant. The 1,000 Ming army was not afraid of the elite Jiannu iron cavalry that was 20 times its size, and all the soldiers fought hard to kill Hu and charge on horseback; And the two yellow flags Jiannu were originally the elite of the Jiannu elite, and at this time, with the "Great Khan" charging into battle, the morale has risen to the extreme, and they are all fighting hard and not dodging.
The Ming army Qianzong, who led the iron cavalry to block Jiannu, rushed to the front, and the war knife in his hand had already been curled, but it was still waving non-stop. Watching countless Jiannu soldiers roaring past him, watching countless weapons smashing all kinds of weapons at him, Ming Junqian was not afraid, he had forgotten life and death at this moment, and there was only one thought in his mind: drag the Jiannu soldiers as long as possible to win time for the army to change formations and retreat.
The Han iron cavalry behind the commander of the Ming army was also willing to forget life and death, and fought bloodily. At the moment of the confrontation between the horses and horses, it was almost a few Jiannu against a Ming soldier, and the Jiannu combat power was stronger than that of the Ming army, so the Ming army was almost suppressed and beaten all the time.
But so what? Jiannu still suffered a lot of casualties, and the soldiers of the Ming army may be slightly inferior in combat skills, but they dare to exchange their lives for their lives! As far as the eye can see, almost all of them are Ming soldiers who do not dodge or dodge, and die together with Jiannu!
The two Yellow Flag Iron Horsemen were either dragged down by the Ming army and trampled to death by the war horses, or they were pierced by the Ming army while slashing the Ming army. As the casualties of Jiannu continue to increase. Nurhachi saw it in his eyes and was anxious.
"Kill! Kill! Speed up and rush out of the battle formation! Nurhachi shouted.
The two Yellow Banner Jiannu Iron Cavalry accelerated again, and in the face of the Ming army that was facing the head-on killing with the heart of death, they changed their tactics, and avoided direct hand-to-hand combat, but shot them with bows and arrows; It is really inevitable that several people will attack at the same time, and the soldiers of the Ming army will not be given the opportunity to die together.
After less than a stick of incense, the shouts of the iron horses became sparse, and the sound of the galloping hooves of the horses became uniform and deafening again. At this time, a flying bird flew in the air, crossed the battlefield where the iron cavalry had fought, and the tragic battlefield came into view: there was not much left of the bright red iron stream, and the bright yellow iron cavalry was unstoppable!
Seeing that there were not many iron cavalry left of the Ming army, Nurhachi led the iron cavalry to pounce on the Ming army's large array that had not yet returned to the camp.
And Huang Taiji, Dai Shan, and Azig, who stayed in place and waited, found that Nurhachi led the army to attack the Ming army's main array, hurriedly reorganized the soldiers and horses, and led the four banners of the Jiannu army to also attack the Ming army's main array.
However, because Nurhachi's two yellow flags encountered the resistance of the Ming cavalry on the way, they were delayed for a lot of time, so the four banners army of Huang Taiji and others attacked ahead of Nurhachi.
After Ma Yan reported the military situation to Ma Lin, he immediately returned to the two thousand Ming army behind the Great Array Palace. At this time, looking at the boundless army of Jiannu, Ma Yan's heart was broken, and seeing that the soldiers around him began to be restless, Ma Yan tried to calm down: "Calm down!" At this time, all I can do is resist and fight, anyway, it is death horizontally and vertically, so it is better to fight! ”
"Stop marching in the rear, defend on the spot, start fighting, go to war!" The granite roared hoarsely.
Under the command of Ma Yan, the rear of the Ming army gradually stabilized, and began to reorganize the defensive formation, preparing to fight the Jiannu army.
The main force of the four banners led by Huang Taiji, Dai Shan, and Azig came in an instant, and Dai Shan was eager to make meritorious contributions, and the position of the two red flags was closer to the Ming army than the other two flags, so the first contact with the Ming army was the two red flags of Dai Shan.
Dai Shan's army came to the front of the Ming army, and when he saw that the Ming army had finished arranging after the Ming army, Rulin's spear had been erected, and he said in his heart: "Damn! It seems that in order to defeat the main force of the Ming army, the only way to eat this Ming army is to eat it first. So he ordered the soldiers of the two red banners to dismount and prepare for foot battle.
"Warriors, for the glory of my two red flags, kill Nikan!" After speaking, Dai Shan was the first to rush to the granite department.
Ma Yan yelled, "Archer, let's go!" ”
Arrows rained down, and the sound of breaking the sky was endless.
"Raise your shield! Rush! Rush me! Dai Shan held a shield in one hand and a sword in the other, and pounced on the Ming army like a tiger descending from the mountain in the rain of arrows.
I saw Dai Shan raise his hand violently and wave his knife, pick out several spears in front of him, and then directly hit the shield of the Ming army, knocking several Ming soldiers with shields to the ground.
"Rush in!" Dai Shan shouted loudly and commanded the Jiannu soldiers behind him to follow him into the battle.
Ma Yan saw that Dai Shan was brave, and a confrontation opened a gap in the Ming army's formation, so he was so anxious that he stomped his feet, pointed at Dai Shan and shouted: "Kill him!" Kill him for me! ”
Several Ming soldiers rushed forward, but in a blink of an eye, they turned into cold corpses, Dai Shan was still fighting, and more and more Jiannu who rushed into the Ming army array, and gradually the Ming soldiers began to retreat, and the rout appeared.
At this moment, the subsequent Huang Taiji and Azig respectively commanded the two white flag Jiannu into battle, and tens of thousands of Jiannu troops pressed against the two thousand Ming army led by Ma Yan. Like a flat boat in a storm, at this time Ma Yan with the remnants of the Ming army soldiers desperately desperate, but the formation has been broken, the two armies have fallen into a melee, and the weak Ming army soldiers are dead and wounded.
Ma Yan's body was already drenched in blood, several wounds kept oozing blood, and the corners of his mouth jumped in pain.
"Looks like today is my time of death." Ma Yan looked at the dense Jiannu around him and said in despair.
At this time, a Jiannu rode over and slashed at the granite, and the granite did not have any resistance, and directly beheaded the other place. Subsequently, the rear of the Ming army was completely defeated, most of the 2,000 soldiers were killed, and the rest of the rout ran in the direction of the camp.
At this time, the main force of the Ming army returned to the camp, and saw that the granite department behind the palace in the distance had been flooded by tens of thousands of Jiannu troops, Ma Lin was shocked, and knew that the general trend of this battle had gone, so he gathered the family and whispered to the captain of the family ding: "Go to the rear to explore the way, don't be discovered!" ”
The captain of the family understood and led a few family members to go quietly.
"General! Jiannu is attacking! ”
Hearing the screams of his subordinates, Ma Lin couldn't help but shudder, and looked out, only to see tens of thousands of troops pushed up in a strict formation, and the defeated army of the Ming army's Mayan Department fled back was full of mountains and fields, and was slamming on the camp gate to hide in the big camp army.
And the Ming army in the camp refused to open the door, joke! What should I do if the army of Jiannu rushes in behind the ass of the rout?
Seeing this, Marin was anxious and shouted: "All armaments, defense!" Defend it! Reinforcements will be there soon, hold the camp for me! ”
When the officers and men of the Ming army heard the main general shouting that reinforcements were coming, their low morale rose slightly, and they began to line up under the organization of their respective superiors.
"Guns come forward!"
"Array, pikemen in dense formation!"
Then Marin shouted again: "The brothers outside hurry up and line up to meet Jiannu!" Those who take half a step back are slashed! ”
I only heard the shouting and scolding outside the camp, and the gate was crumbling by the rout. Marin looked hideous and shouted, "Archers prepare, release!" ”
The rout outside the camp was shot in an instant, and the rest of the people scattered and fled.
At the same time, after Dai Shan, Huang Taiji, and Azig defeated the Ming army's Mayan Division, they were supervising the advance of the army, preparing to attack the Ming army's camp. At this time, Nurhachi led two yellow flag iron horsemen to rush over.
After seeing the three of them, Nurhachi said: "Don't rush to attack, first kill all the routs outside, so as to break the heart of the Ming army!" ”
"The Great Khan is wise!"
Immediately, the massacre began, and the Ming soldiers outside the camp died tragically under the butcher's knives of the Tartars. Heart-rending screams filled the minds of the Ming soldiers in the camp, and the bloody scenes stimulated the nerves of the Ming army, and thousands of people just watched everything that happened outside the camp in a daze.
Seeing this, Marin shouted: "Archer, release the arrows!" ”
The archers hurriedly drew their bows and released their arrows, and the arrows were shot out in a sparse manner, causing almost no damage to Jiannu.
Seeing that the resistance of the Ming army was unfavorable, Nurhachi said: "It's okay now, the Ming army's morale has been lost, the fighting spirit has collapsed, and now it's okay to attack." ”
"Son's Command!" Dai Shan, Huang Taiji, and Azig oversaw the onslaught of the army.
"Jiannu is attacking!"
"Defeated! Defeated! ”
As Jiannu began to attack, the Ming army had no intention of fighting, and even began to desert, allowing generals at all levels to intercept and scold, but it still couldn't stop the trend of rout spreading.
Listening to the sound of "boom", the Ming army camp was pulled down by dozens of war horses, and then tens of thousands of Jiannu troops swarmed in, the Ming army camp was suddenly in chaos, no one was there to meet the enemy, and all the Ming troops were running around.
At this time, Nurhachi was in the rear to overview the battle situation, and Azig, Huang Taiji and Daishan personally went into battle and entered the camp.
Under the command of the three of them, the Jiannu army rushed back and forth, and the Ming soldiers were almost slaughtered, and only a few soldiers took advantage of the chaos to escape. In less than half an hour, the battle was over.
Nurhachi entered the camp and asked Huang Taiji and the others, "Have you found Ma Lin, the chief general of the Ming army?" ”
Dai Shan said: "Qiyu Khan Ama, I didn't find Marin, I guess I took advantage of the chaos to escape." ”
"Humph! He's quick-witted. ”
Huang Taiji said: "Khan Ama, how to deal with Pan Zongyan, the left wing of the Ming army? ”
Nurhachi said: "There have been killed and killed here, and the Ming army of the department is not far away, but it is still cowering in the camp, which shows that Pan Zongyan is also a mediocre one." Our army can be defeated in one fell swoop with the power of a great victory. ”
As a result, the Jiannu army turned its troops and headed towards the left camp of the Ming army.
