Chapter 68: The Liao War (1)

At night.

Batru wipes the half-arc slashing saber.

The moonlight was rising, and the shadows behind him were dense cavalry.

Outside the city, the Forces nouvelles were silently stationed.

Tonight, Batru wants to let the Ming army outside the city see the invincible Jurchen cavalry,

In the middle of the night, the city gate opened, and the cavalry in the city rushed out.

Around the wall to the northwest, the war horses galloped straight to the new army camp.

Knowing that the enemy would not be left defenseless, Batru would rush over with his speed and impact to disperse the large battalion in front of him with speed and impact.

The Jurchen cavalry was in full swing.

The scattered formations are sparse and varied, but the battlefield spread out is large.

The camp of the new army, the bonfire is blazing.

The galloping sound of war horses began, and the army was on alert, ready to meet the enemy.

However, as Gushan Ezhen, Batru did not fight against the new army, and in his impression, the way the Ming army fought was often to defend in a circle with a chariot formation.

The horses galloped, and the shouts of killing came from afar.

A mile away, the star-strewn trap was first revealed under the trampling of the cavalry.

The horse's leg was broken, the cavalry rolled, the front was overturned, and the rear braked the horse and stepped on it directly, or made a detour forward.

The Jurchen cavalry galloped very quickly, and after overturning hundreds of horses in the wilderness, the cavalry behind began to control their horses and dodge, and moved forward again.

Batru is a pure Jurchen cavalry, and he has only one tactic, that is, to kill directly into it, ignore those traps, and kill in front of the battle is victory.

No one could stop the onslaught of the Jurchen cavalry.

The cavalry moved forward again, the moon was shining, and the earth was illuminated.

Let the tumbling cavalry, the cavalry in the rear gallop forward again.

Three hundred meters.

The first trench appeared.

The Jurchen cavalry in front tried to cross on horseback.

But the front hooves crossed the trench, but the hind hooves stepped directly into the empty place of the trench, and then the men and horses fell into the trench.

It's a hundred horses again.

It is a pity that there is not much time left for the new army, and the trenches are not dug deep enough and long enough.

In a short time, the Jurchens had already crossed the trench with the corpses of their own cavalry and horses.

Two hundred meters.

Gunfire began to ring out in the camp.

The fire is lit up.

The Jurchen cavalry kept falling to the ground.

Some people rushed forward to kill in the face of bullets, and some people subconsciously detoured.

But the constant sound of gunfire rang out from all corners of the camp, and bullets continued to fire from the front.

The Jurchen cavalry kept falling to the ground, and the offensive was blocked.

The front fell to the ground, and the rear continued to impact.

In just one mile, the Jurchens lost more than 1,000 people.

Finally, the cavalry brigade behind him began to press.

The cavalry, who were desperate to move forward, had just twisted and turned, and they were drowned in an explosion after the obstacles set up by the new army.

The mines exploded, the artillery fired.

The earthquake trembled, the horses neighed, the smoke covered the sky, and the corpses rolled.

The most primitive cavalry met the new army of the main artillery.

There is no suspense in the battle.

Huang Taiji was defeated and fled under the artillery, not to mention these cavalry in front of him.

Once again, the heavily armored attackers came in handy.

The Jurchen cavalry, which was originally invincible in the world, was instantly like a pig cub that was tied, slaughtered by others.

Even the new army didn't realize that since when did they become a powerful existence that even the Jurchen cavalry could defeat at will?

No one thinks about this power, and great power is often pursued by everyone, but no one will look back and explore how they became powerful.

The horn of the charge sounded, and in a moment of surprise against the Jurchen cavalry, the cavalry and musketeers of the new army rushed out of the camp and slaughtered the Tartars.

In this battle, victory came too easily, so that the soldiers couldn't believe it, but also felt their own strength.

The Jurchen is really no longer an invincible myth, two great wars, two great victories.

Victory is at hand.

In the depths of the camp, in front of the big tent, Zhang Xiahai looked at the soldiers who rushed out, was silent for a long time, retracted his eyes, and turned around and entered the big tent.

Walking into the big tent, when he was alone, Zhang Xiahai breathed a sigh of relief.

At this moment, the image of the gentle scholar flashed in his mind again, and a trace of worry appeared in his eyes.

Before dawn.

The Great War ended.

Jurchen captives and war horses fell to their knees, and in the distance were the corpses of the detained cavalry and war horses.

Tielingwei was easily defeated.

The Han banner defending the city had internal strife before the arrival of the army, and after a fight, the city surrendered.

Tang Dewang, who killed Hu Yue not long ago, was split into corpses, and the huge human head was kicked into that corner without knowing during the fight.

The collapsed city gate has been re-cleared out of a path, and on both sides are kneeling former Ming troops.

Zhang Xiahai rode over and ignored him.

The soldiers of the New Army, carrying the booty and the prisoners, followed them into the city, and no one looked at these traitors who had taken refuge in Houjin.

So an indescribable sourness and bitterness flowed in the hearts of the Han Banner soldiers.

Seeing with my own eyes that the Jurchen cavalry was as vulnerable as a straw, it was broken by the Ming army in front of it in just one hour.

These soldiers who changed from the Ming army to the Han Banner felt that the outlook on life and world view formed in half a lifetime collapsed instantly.

It turns out that there is such a powerful Ming army in this world.

Under such thoughts, there is a contradiction of bitterness and pride.

The dawn is coming.

The head of Tieling City changes the king's flag, and the word Ming flutters in the wind.

The heads of the Jurchen Tartars were hung on the wall, swinging in the wind, cruel and cold.

On the tower of the city, four blood-colored characters were written on the white cloth and hung down: Blood debt and blood repayment!

At this moment, on the way to Tieling City, Shuo Tuo led the red flag to gallop in front, and the blue flag was led by Mang Gurtai to follow behind.

It's just that compared to the red flag, the speed of Mang Gurtai's march is somewhat slow.

Suddenly, Manggultai grabbed the reins of his horse.

The army behind him suddenly heard a voice: Stop!

"Lord Belle?" Behind him, the two main generals of the blue flag, Tun Bulu and Ai Barry, followed closely and moved forward, asking suspiciously.

These two people are the two closest cronies of Mang Gurtai in the Zhenglan Banner, and they are also two of the nine people who rebelled with all the blood swear of Mang Gurtai, and they can be regarded as diehards.

"Tun Bulu, love Barry, let's go back to Hetuala!" Mang Gurtai looked around blankly, sighed and muttered to himself.

"Lord Belle?" Tun Bulu and Aibari glanced at each other and whispered in surprise.

Mang Gurtai shook his head: "No one will support me in this big gold, except for you and my sister, even my dearest sibling Derge class is also following behind Huang Taiji's ass, we have no chance of winning, go back to Hetuala, although it is small, it is where we grow from below, it is actually very good to be a king there, to be a king of a city!" ”

Tun Bulu and persuaded again, but was pulled by Ai Barry, shook his head and signaled not to say more.

So the army began to turn around and march in the direction of Hetuala.

At this time, the Shuotuo army, which was already ten miles away in front, knew nothing.

Mang Gurtai died.

From the moment he saw Dai Shan, he knew that Dai Shan was lying to him, and no one would support him.

He can't fight Huang Taiji.

Hetuara became the last place to take him in.
