Text Volume 10, Chapter 3, Section 7 One hundred thousand Hu heads shocked the enemy
Just when the soldiers of the Flying Feather Battalion A Battalion, Battalion B, and Cavalry Battalion defeated the Wuzhen Chaoha Battalion, Lu Ying, who was watching the battle from afar in the Hanwei Army, had already discovered some clues, so he ordered Zheng Zhibao to immediately lead 10,000 Iron Man Army soldiers to attack and form a formation to go to the battlefield to support.
Zheng Zhibao immediately led 10,000 Iron Man soldiers to charge in formation, and the soldiers of the army quickly crossed the battlefield full of stumps and broken arms, and rushed to the vicinity of the horse retaining wall in only one stick of incense. At this moment, the 50,000 soldiers and horses of the Wuzhen Chaoha battalion stationed behind the horse retaining wall began to shoot.
Zheng Zhibao and the 10,000 officers and soldiers of the Iron Man Army under his command saw that the soldiers of the Feiyu Battalion had suffered huge casualties, and the battlefield was full of soldiers of the Hanwei Army who had been shot and fell to the ground.
Zheng Zhibao rushed in front of the army with a long-handled broadsword in one hand, his eyes were red, and he roared loudly: "Open the bow!" ”
"Wind! Wind! Wind! ”
The 10,000 Iron Man soldiers roared in unison, almost 10,000 people took out the iron tire bow behind their backs, and then shot out the sharp arrows one after another like a series of arrows. I saw that the rain of arrows in the sky was like one dark cloud after another, constantly falling behind the retaining wall, causing huge casualties to the tens of thousands of Qing soldiers of the Wuzhen Chaoha battalion stationed here.
And the 10,000 Iron Man Army soldiers under the leadership of Zheng Zhibao continued to release arrows, while forming a formation and quickly approaching the horse retaining wall, and the army formation was not chaotic at all during the march.
This scene made Huang Taiji, who was watching the battle on the wall of Shimen Pass, frightened, and said secretly: "There is such an elite army in the Hanwei army!" ”
Just when Huang Taiji's heart was full of horror, Zheng Zhibao had already led the army to rush to the front of the horse retaining wall, and the garrison Jiang Wentian, the garrison Tian Qing, and the garrison Dong Qiang had already taken advantage of the suppression of the Wuzhen Chaoha battalion, and each led the army under his command to withdraw, and began to reorganize the army at the rear of the battlefield.
When the Wuzhen Chaoha battalion was suppressed by the Iron Man soldiers, it was also gathering forces and preparing to counterattack the Iron Man soldiers at any cost.
And where will Zheng Zhibao easily give the Qing army a chance to counterattack?
I saw Zheng Zhibao quickly put away the iron tire bow in his hand, copied the extremely sharp long-handled broadsword in his hand, and then roared: "Fight!" ”
"Tiger! Tiger! Tiger! ”
The 10,000 Iron Man soldiers roared in unison again, once again put away the iron tire bow in unison, and held the long-handled long knife in their hands, and the cold sword was waved by the soldiers, and the sharp blade pointed straight to the sky, like a steel jungle, moving quickly towards the soldiers and horses of the Wuzhen Chaoha battalion behind the horse barrier.
When the Iron Man soldiers rushed to the horse barrier, Zheng Zhibao roared again, and then the first one flew over the chest-high horse wall, and the long-handled broadsword in his hand slashed through the front like a lightning bolt, and immediately cut the four Wuzhen Chaoha battalion soldiers around Zheng Zhibao into two pieces!
Immediately afterwards, one after another teams of brave Iron Man soldiers crossed the horse retaining wall, like a surging tide, and the 50,000 soldiers of the Wuzhen Chaoha Battalion stationed behind the horse retaining wall were scattered and embarrassed!
Although these Wuzhen Chaoha battalions were all well-trained and well-equipped, they were limited to shooting at the enemy from a distance with firearms, or against some ordinary Ming soldiers. Once they faced the elite Hanwei Army, the Dangkou Battalion, and the Iron Man Army, these newly formed Wuzhen Chaoha Battalion soldiers and horses could not resist, and they retreated under the fierce attack of the Iron Man Army officers and soldiers, and began to retreat in the blink of an eye.
Huang Taiji saw that tens of thousands of soldiers and horses of the Wuzhen Chaoha battalion were killed and retreated by only 10,000 Iron Man soldiers, and he couldn't even defend a horse barrier, so he was so angry that he scolded. Now that the war has just started for less than a day, the fortress group and horse retaining wall outside the Shimen Pass have been lost one after another, if it continues like this, how many days can this Shimen Pass hold on?
Huang Taiji looked at the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses of the Wuzhen Chaoha battalion who had retreated towards Shimen Pass, and was furious, and ordered the hundreds of thousands of Mongolian troops stationed in Guancheng to guard the city gate and not let a single defeated soldier enter the pass!
At the same time, Huang Taiji also concentrated tens of thousands of Mongolian archers, and fired a salvo on the city wall aimed at the battle line of the Iron Man Army and the Wuzhen Chaoha battalion, regardless of whether they would accidentally damage the soldiers and horses of the Wuzhen Chaoha battalion.
Zheng Zhibao didn't pay attention to this when he saw this, the iron armor on the Iron Man Army soldiers could be said to be the heaviest in the entire Hanwei Army, and he didn't have to pay attention to the arrows shot from the Mongolian cavalry bow from the far city wall, and most of the arrows could not penetrate the iron armor on the Iron Man Army soldiers.
On the contrary, the soldiers and horses of the Wuzhen Chaoha battalion, who were desperately resisting the attack of the Iron Man Army, were killed by the rain of arrows from the Mongols, which accelerated the defeat of the Wuzhen Chaoha battalion.
"Kill them all! Siege! ”
Zheng Zhibao roared loudly, and at the same time sent someone to Liu Yunwei to ask for support from the cloud ladder, preparing to take advantage of the situation to go to the city to fight.
However, Liu Yunwei did not agree to Zheng Zhibao's proposal, but ordered someone to tell Zheng Zhibao that it was enough to defeat the soldiers and horses of Wuzhenchaoha's battalion, and there was no need to rush to attack Shimen Pass.
After receiving the order, Zheng Zhibao led the army to attack wholeheartedly, leading 10,000 iron men and horses to fight to kill the soldiers and horses of the Wuzhen Chaoha battalion in front of him, turning the battlefield under Shimen Pass into a bloody hell.
Although those Mongol Tartars and the Manchu Army Yellow Banner Tartars looked down on the Han soldiers of the Wuzhen Chaoha Battalion very much, thinking that these soldiers were the minions of the Qing Dynasty and the cannon fodder during the war. However, at this time, seeing these soldiers of the Wuzhen Chaoha battalion being ruthlessly slaughtered, the hearts of those Mongolian Tartars and the two Yellow Flag Tartars of the Manchu Army all had a sad mood of rabbit death, and there was no arrogance in their eyes, only endless fear and confusion about the future.
Huang Taiji even had to reinvigorate the morale of the army as soon as possible, otherwise Shimen Pass would not be able to hold on for a few days. But in the face of the situation in front of him, Huang Taiji couldn't think of any good way, so he could only watch the slaughter outside the city continue.
After a full hour, the hundreds of thousands of Qing troops who were cowering in Shimen Pass did not make any move except for shooting one rain after another of arrows. However, the heavily armored and well-guarded Iron Man soldiers were not greatly affected, and the damage to the soldiers of the army was almost negligible. And the army of the Wuzhen Chaoha Battalion, which had collapsed, was left with little left, and almost all of them had become mutilated corpses on the ground.
The officers and men of the Iron Man Army simply ignored the bitter wails of the soldiers and horses of the Wuzhen Chaoha battalion, and they all raised their swords and fell, killing all the soldiers and horses of the Han army who surrendered to the Tartars.
Looking at the battlefield that was gradually returning to calm, the Qing army on the city wall had already stopped firing arrows, and just stared blankly at the bloody scene outside the city.
Zheng Zhibao did not stay too long, and directly led tens of thousands of Iron Man soldiers to withdraw to the area of the horse retaining wall. After the garrison Liu Heihu led the soldiers of the Flying Feather Battalion C Battalion to garrison the horse retaining wall, Zheng Zhibao led tens of thousands of Iron Man Army soldiers to withdraw to the large formation of the Hanwei Army.
At this time, the silence of the entire Shimenguan battlefield was restored, and only the crows in the sky were left hovering, as if waiting for a gluttonous feast.
In this situation, the morale of hundreds of thousands of Qing soldiers and horses in Shimen Pass has fallen to the bottom, and even Huang Taiji is constantly sighing, and his eyebrows have almost squeezed together.
Liu Yunwei led more than 400,000 soldiers of the Ming army to form a formation, and drove until he reached a place two miles outside Shimen Pass, and then began to reorganize the army, and it was possible to carry out a siege battle at any time.
Liu Yunwei looked at the scene in front of him, and a very pungent bloody aura kept coming, which further stimulated the battle intent in Liu Yunwei's heart.
After muttering for a while, Liu Yunwei pointed to the battlefield in front of him with the horsewhip in his hand, and said to Guo Yi beside him: "Cut off the heads of all the soldiers and horses of the Wuzhen Chaoha battalion that have been exterminated, and pile them up on the right side of the horse retaining wall to form a Jingguan!" ”
Guo Yi was ordered to go, and led 5,000 Longxiang Iron Cavalry soldiers to rush to the battlefield in front of him.
In this battle, the 150,000 Wuzhen Chaoha battalion army that Huang Taiji painstakingly managed was completely annihilated, except for a few routs who escaped, more than 100,000 soldiers and horses were all killed on the spot by the soldiers of the Feiyu Battalion and the Iron Man Army. The soldiers of the Ming army were victorious, and more than 100,000 were beheaded in the first battle, which can be described as brilliant!
An hour later, a huge Jingguan was erected on the right side of the battlefield, the heads of the soldiers and horses of the Wuzhen Chaoha battalion were hateful, and the braids resembling pig's tails were swaying in the wind, as if telling that the end of the Manchu Qing Dynasty was coming!
In the face of the huge Jingguan stacked with hundreds of thousands of heads, the 200,000 Qing troops who were cowering in Shimen Pass were already full of heart, and their eyes were full of deep fear when they looked at the Ming army outside the pass.
At this moment, Huang Taiji had already understood that if Liu Yunwei issued the order to attack the city at this time, the nearly 200,000 troops around him would immediately collapse, and he would also die in this stone gate!
Outside the Shimen Pass, more than 400,000 Ming army soldiers phalanx neat, morale is high, that huge Jingguan is the soldiers' great military exploits. At this time, the military flag hunting, the wind is flying, the ladders and rushing cars used in the siege are ready, and all the soldiers of the Ming army are waiting for Liu Yunwei's order, waiting for the exciting moment!
And the main force of the 200,000 Qing army in Shimen Pass and the Manchu slave chieftain Taiji are already the turtles in the urn, as long as the Shimen Pass is attacked, it can almost announce the restoration of the entire Liaodong, and the destruction of the Manchu Tartars!
Liu Yunwei and the soldiers of the Ming army have never been so close to the completion of the great achievement, and a monstrous battle spirit is stirring among the soldiers of the Ming army, ready to descend to the Huang Taiji and 200,000 Manchu Tartars in the Shimen Pass to completely destroy!
