Chapter 4: The Bloody Battle of the Tartars Killed the Country
Section 20 Charging into battle
Seeing that the soldiers and horses of the banners had been prepared, Nurhachi ordered the bodies of Liu Ting and Liu Zhao to be brought to the front of the two armies. After a while, I saw that the bodies of Liu Ting and Liu Zhao were tied to two logs the size of beams by Jiannu, erected on a cart and pushed in front of the two armies.
Seeing the body of the general of the Ming army being pushed out, tens of thousands of Jiannu shouted and shouted wildly, and kept making various demonstrations towards the Ming army opposite.
And Liu Yunwei and the others looked at the bodies of Liu Ting and Liu Zhao in front of the Jiannu array on the opposite side, and were suddenly dumbfounded, and the entire Ming military array was silent, as if it was a lifeless sculpture.
After a while, Zhao Kaishan couldn't hold it back, and roared with blood-red eyes: "Big brother! ”
Lu Ying, Wu Xing, Wen Poyu, Li Tianhao and others were all angry, and looked at Liu Yunwei with extreme sadness and indignation.
Liu Yunwei shed two lines of tears at this time, what he didn't want to happen finally happened, the Warring States Dynasty was defeated, his grandfather and father died on the battlefield, and the Jiannu Tartar captives were cheering, is the sky blind!
At this time, Liu Yunwei could no longer see anything else in his eyes, only the remains of his grandfather and father. Wiping his tears, Liu Yunwei rode his horse slowly towards the Jiannu array, and slowly rode his horse slowly into a trot, and then began to accelerate his galloping horse.
Everyone was taken aback, Lu Ying, Wu Xing and others shouted Liu Yunwei's name, but Liu Yunwei didn't seem to hear it, and was still riding his horse and running. Wen Poyu was in a hurry, raised the horse lance in his hand, and shouted: "Brothers, rush with me!" ”
After speaking, more than 500 cavalry of the Ming Army under the command of Wen Poyu slowly started, and almost instantly increased the speed of the horse to the speed of sprinting; Almost at the same time, the five hundred guards under Liu Yunwei also rode their horses and galloped, and the two iron horsemen followed Liu Yunwei almost at the same time, and more than a thousand horsemen quickly formed a conical riding formation in the wild gallop.
Liu Yunwei was already furious at this time, his grandfather Liu Ting and father Liu Zhao were the generals of the national dynasty, and they were the great heroes who fought the world for China, how could the horse leather shroud suffer such a great humiliation now!
Seeing more than a thousand comrades riding horses behind him, Liu Yunwei only felt that his whole body was full of strength and murderous aura, and the armor-piercing steel spear in his hand pointed forward, and shouted loudly: "Break through the enemy formation!" Welcome back to the town, the generals, kill with me! ”
"Tiger! Tiger! Tiger! "A thousand iron horsemen roared wildly, a thousand weapons showed a terrifying light, and a thousand angry Han soldiers slaughtered the invasion of China and the Tartars!
In the Ming army's large array, Lu Ying took over the command of the whole battalion after Liu Yunwei and Wen Poyu led the cavalry to attack, and ordered: "Wu Xing, face the enemy head-on, Zhao Kaishan and Li Tianhao protect the left and right, and I will respond in the center!" ”
Wu Xing, Zhao Kaishan, and Li Tianhao received orders one after another, and the Ming army's large array changed rapidly. I saw that Wu Xing led three hundred and sixty soldiers to form a large array of extermination arrays in the center, and the rest of the rear thousands of headquarters soldiers surrounded the extermination array to defend themselves, and countless spears several meters long pointed diagonally at the sky, firmly guarding the front.
Zhao Kaishan's left is on the left, and Li Tianhao's right is on the right, both of which are densely formed to protect the two wings of the large array; The crossbowmen of Lu Ying's department crossed the large array and blocked the front of Wu Xing's department, ready to deal a fatal blow to the invading Jiannu, while the rest of the soldiers all opened their bows and arrows and waited for orders.
In the distance, Nurhachi and the others couldn't help but be taken aback when they saw that the main general of the Ming army dared to attack their own tens of thousands of troops with more than 1,000 cavalry.
Azig laughed and said: "This Ming general Liu Yunwei is nothing more than that, he lost his mind when he was provoked by us, it seems that there is no suspense in this battle." ”
Mang Gurtai also laughed, apparently agreeing with Azig's words. And Dai Shan and Amin were a little puzzled, this Liu Yunwei repeatedly hit the Dajin Warriors, how do you look at it, it doesn't look like such a reckless and reckless person, otherwise it would have been cleaned up by the Dajin Iron Cavalry.
Huang Taiji was also a little uncertain, and asked Nurhachi: "Khan Ama, why don't you go and stop your sons?" ”
Nurhachi sneered: "This son is either strong and lacks resourcefulness or has something to rely on, otherwise he would not act like this." However, the comparison of the strength of the two armies is already obvious, so even if Liu Yunwei relies on it, he can't control the battle situation! Sibeile, Azigetaiji, you lead all the soldiers and horses of the two white flags to intercept, and you must kill Liu Yunwei! ”
"Sons obey orders!"
A moment later, a total of 10,000 iron horsemen from the two white flags charged against Liu Yunwei and Wen Poyu's troops, and pounced on the 1,000 Ming army iron horsemen with the momentum of a tiger pounceing on a rabbit.
At the same time, Nurhachi ordered Daishan's two red flags and 10,000 iron cavalry to attack the Ming army's main array from the front, Amin led 5,000 soldiers and horses with the blue flag to attack the left flank of the Ming army, and Mang Gurtai led 5,000 soldiers and horses with the blue flag to attack the right flank of the Ming army.
As soon as the battle began, Nurhachi used all his strength to try to crush the Ming army with a single blow.
Looking down at the entire battlefield from the sky, I saw that the Jiannu army was divided into three huge long dragons and pounced on the Ming army. In the face of the Jiannu army, which was several times their own, the soldiers of the Ming army were not afraid, and Liu Yunwei and Wen Poyu led a thousand iron cavalry to smash the 10,000 taels of white flag iron cavalry that was intercepted.
The spearhead of the Ming army's iron cavalry is still the two hundred horse lance cavalry led by Wen Poyu, Liu Yunwei is also at the forefront and the generals are charging together, and the rest of the more than 800 cavalry then charge and shout, like a bloody sharp knife stabbed into the chest of the Jiannu cavalry array in one fell swoop, and immediately killed Jiannu blood overflowing, and people turned over on their backs.
Liu Yunwei's point steel spear stabbed left and right, all the Jiannu who passed by were assassinated under the horse, a low roar came from the throat, the bloodthirsty spear flew in his hand, the galloping war horse galloped on the ground, leaving only the mutilated corpse of Jiannu along the way!
Wen Poyu also killed like crazy, a horse lance as hard as iron was waved like a rope, and the surrounding Jiannu died when touched. And the subsequent horses, iron horses, and hundreds of soldiers also fought bloodily, only the soldiers who died in the front, and there were no cowards who retreated to survive!
Huang Taiji and Azig were galloping in the cavalry formation, and they were all taken aback when they saw a thousand Ming army iron cavalry directly cutting into their own cavalry formation, as if entering a no-man's land. The two of them were so proud of the Dajin Iron Cavalry that they were so unbearable in front of this Ming army that they couldn't withstand the impact of the Ming Army's Iron Cavalry, and they were torn open in just one round!
Azig cried out almost frantically: "Move closer to the middle!" Kill the Ming army and kill the Ming army out of the big array! "Being violently beaten by the Ming army, which is only one-tenth of himself, is almost humiliating for Azig!
Huang Taiji also loudly urged his subordinates to attack the Ming army's cavalry formation, trying to slow down the speed of the Ming army's iron cavalry and use the superior forces to encircle and kill.
But neither Huang Taiji nor Azig succeeded, the Ming army soldiers were still accelerating and charging, and Liu Yunwei, Wen Poyu and two hundred horse lance cavalry were still opening the way for the large army. The hole that was torn open in the Jiannu cavalry formation was still expanding, and the casualties were also increasing.
Huang Taiji saw that the warriors could not resist the Ming army's charge, so he changed his strategy, commanded the white flag iron cavalry to break away from the Jiannu cavalry formation, and left the distance with the Ming army, preparing to kill and injure the Ming army's iron cavalry with cavalry.
Seeing this, Azig instantly understood Huang Taiji's intentions, and immediately supervised the army to storm and entangle the Ming army's iron cavalry, and cooperated with Huang Taiji's white flag to break away from the battle formation.
"Big brother!" Wen Poyu noticed the movement of Zhengbai Qi Jiannu and shouted at Liu Yunwei.
Liu Yunwei was also looking at all directions when he was fighting, and he also discovered the actions of Zhengbai Qi Jiannu, but he ignored it and shouted loudly: "Speed up!" Hasten! The whole army accelerates! ”
Under Liu Yunwei's order, the Ming army's iron cavalry increased again, a thousand war horses were like dragons, almost four hooves soared in the wilderness, and a thousand Ming soldiers were already crazy under the leadership of the main general, fighting frantically against Jiannu, like a thousand bloodthirsty beasts, constantly devouring the lives of the Tartars.
Azig was exhausted in the face of countless weapons killed by the Ming army, and the soldiers with white flags were turned on their backs, and Jiannu who fell from their horses and died abounded, and they were in chaos for a while.
Huang Taiji, who had already broken away from the battle formation, was stunned when he saw this, the combat power of this Ming army's iron cavalry was so terrifying, and thousands of iron horses with white flags couldn't resist it, it was simply appalling!
"Shoot the arrows! Shoot them! Huang Taiji shouted hoarsely.
I saw countless arrows shot at the galloping Ming soldiers, and the Ming soldiers continued to fall from their horses, and the continuous arrow rain of Jiannu brought many casualties to Liu Yunwei's troops.
But so what? The soldiers of the Ming army are still charging!
Liu Yunwei was anxious when he saw that soldiers were constantly being hit by arrows, but when he saw that the front suddenly opened up, he knew that he had rushed out of the Jiannu cavalry formation.
So, Liu Yunwei yelled: "Shock the slave chief!" Kill! ”
After a fierce confrontation with 10,000 taels of white flag iron cavalry, the Ming army had only more than 700 iron cavalry left at this time. However, it was these seven hundred horsemen who continued to scatter Azig's white-flag-encrusted cavalry formation after rushing out of the Jiannu cavalry array, and they could not organize interceptions and counterattacks in a short period of time, even Huang Taiji's white-flaged iron cavalry was also left far behind, and Jiannu's proud cavalry and archery kung fu fell into a useless place before it had time to play a huge role.
Huang Taiji and Azig were so shocked that they almost fell off their horses when they saw that Liu Yunwei was rushing straight to the two yellow flag formations with hundreds of Ming army iron horses. The two white flags and 10,000 iron cavalry were rushed to pieces by a thousand Ming cavalry, not to mention, they were even broken through the cavalry formation, so that the Ming army could directly kill the Chinese army of the Dajin Emperor? It's a nightmare!
"Shoot back! Back! Azig roared loudly and took the lead in rushing towards the two yellow flag formations, but the formation of thousands of white flag iron cavalry had dispersed, and it was not easy to turn around and charge again in a hurry! After a while, Kankan turned around, but the formation was still very loose.
The same is true of Huang Taiji's Zhenghuang Banner, the two iron cavalry have just begun to come back, and the Ming iron cavalry led by Liu Yunwei is only a few hundred steps away from Nurhachi's Chinese army.
Liu Yunwei looked at his grandfather and father who were close at hand, the anger in his heart erupted again, and the war horse under his crotch seemed to feel the anger of his master, and also let out a neigh, bursting out with amazing potential, and galloped towards the Jiannu army not far away.
Nurhachi looked at the roaring Ming army iron horsemen, and looked at the two white flag iron horsemen who were still rushing around in a U-turn, and was shocked in his heart: "Liu Yunwei's bravery is still above that Liu Ting, and the combat power of this Ming army is still above my Dajin warriors!" How is this possible! ”
At this time, the Ming army's iron cavalry had already been killed, and the two yellow flag iron cavalry had no time to charge at this moment, let alone the distance required to charge. So Nurhachi hurriedly gave an order and ordered all the soldiers of the two yellow flags to dismount and fight on foot.
I saw nearly 20,000 taels of yellow flag Jiannu rushing forward like a bright yellow mudslide, forming a dense formation in a very short period of time, protecting Nurhachi in the formation, and the bodies of Liu Ting and Liu Zhao were also protected in the formation.
Nurhachi looked at Liu Yunwei, who could already see his face clearly, and said coldly: "I want to see how you attack my two yellow flags!" ”
