Chapter 227: Pursuit
The sound of this cannon made the people inside and outside Quang Ninh City feel shocked, and they all stopped their movements and looked into the distance.
I saw a fire dragon coming from a distance, and thousands of people were carrying torches to Quang Ninh. Just in the firelight, a few cannons were roaring, firing at the Jurchen flag.
Each bombardment brought a rain of blood, and the screams of people mingled with the neighing of horses.
Nurhachi's banner was also moving backwards to avoid the shells. Among the Jurchens, there was also a team of more than 1,000 people attacking towards the firing place.
Liu Qu at the head of the city roared when he saw this: "Reinforcements are coming!" Kill! ”
The morale of the Guangning army was suddenly high, and they waved the blades in their hands and rushed towards the Jurchen armor soldiers who had climbed to the top of the city.
The Jurchen armor soldiers saw that the Daxu Banner was far away, and they had no heart to fight, and many people jumped off the city to flee for their lives. The tide of the battle was reversed at once, and the Guangning army quickly cleared the recalcitrant Jurchen armor soldiers at the head of the city.
The Changxing army in the distance also fought with the 3,000 Jurchen armor soldiers led by Azig, and these Changxing troops did not charge in the same duel as the cavalry.
They jumped out of their horses in front of the artillery and formed a three-part formation, and some of the cavalry ran to the front and kept throwing things into the ground.
Looking at the approaching Jurchens, the cannon also adjusted its muzzle and fired a scattershot at the charging Azig.
Each cannon fired hundreds of shells to sweep the charging Jurchens down in pieces, and the Immortals began to fire freely.
Azig in the charge whipped his horse desperately, his eyes full of hatred. It was this group of Ming troops from Changsheng Island who ruined the Battle of Quang Ninh, it was they who wounded Amma, and he wanted to kill every Changxing army.
Suddenly, the horses running in front of him fell in pieces, as if crashing into an invisible wall.
While Azig was startled, a fallen Jurchen vest shouted, "Be careful! There's thistle underground! ”
Tribulus terrestris? In this dark night, it was simply a cavalry nightmare. Shameless Ming Dog! Azig had just cursed, and the fire of the Changxing Army rang out in pieces.
Dense buckshot hit the Jurchen vests, and some of the Jurchen armor soldiers who stopped their horses became live targets, and people and horses were shot and fell to the ground.
Azig just wanted the cavalry to continue the charge, and he wanted to pay some price to get close to the Changxing army. As long as he can get up and fight hand-to-hand, he believes he will win.
Just as he opened his mouth wide to give the order, a buckshot hit him in the shoulder. Calling back the order that Azig was about to shout, Azig screamed and rolled over and fell off his horse.
Seeing this, his Geshha hurriedly took Azig on his war horse and fled, and the other Jurchens also followed when they saw that their master was injured and fled.
The Jurchens left more than 200 corpses in front of the Changxing army and retreated in panic, and Zhang Dou did not love to fight and retreated after cleaning up the battlefield.
Nurhachi sat in the tent with a grim face, and Azig knelt on the ground covered in blood.
The buckshot on his shoulder had been removed, but fortunately it didn't hurt his bones. However, the wound caused by the lead shot of the bullet is not so easy to heal, and the lead itself is poisonous, and the wound caused by the rolling deformation of the lead bullet when it enters the body is even greater.
"Amma! Ming Dog was so cunning that they actually dropped the thistle terrestris in front of the battle. Erchen fell for their tricks for a while, and asked Ama to punish him! With that, Azig buried his head in the ground.
Nurhachi glanced at his young son, and Azig was also a fierce general. But when he was young, he inevitably had impulsiveness, and it was not necessarily a bad thing to suffer a big loss this time.
"Azig! Go down and cultivate well, and you will get it back after you have suffered a loss. Let's go down! Nurhachi rarely did not reprimand Azig, but was kind enough to say that he was relieved.
Azig hurriedly thanked Nurhachi and went down to rest, and when Azig withdrew from the big tent, Nurhachi's face turned cold.
With the presence of this Ming army outside the city, he didn't want to attack the city with peace of mind, and the fact was exactly as Nurhachi expected.
As long as the Jurchens attacked the city, every time it came to the most critical moment, Zhang Dou warriors led the Changxing army to appear.
Sometimes two cannons were fired, and sometimes no shots were fired, staring at the Jurchen armor soldiers attacking the city. As soon as they appeared, the morale of the defenders in the city must have risen greatly, and they were able to knock the Jurchens out of the city.
When the Changxing army appeared again, Nurhachi, who couldn't bear it anymore, shouted: "Tabai! Bring the head of the Ming dog to Ben Khan! ”
"Huh! Amma! Tabai said yes and strode away, and he ordered five thousand armor soldiers to rush straight to the Changxing army.
This time, the Changxing army seemed to be aware of the Jurchens' determination to destroy them, and there was no love war at all. They pulled out their horses and ran down, and Tabai also led the armor soldiers in hot pursuit.
They chased and fled towards Guangning, and then chased out, looking at the departing Zhang Doucheng, Liu Qu couldn't help but sweat for him.
Once the Jurchens are allowed to catch up, the Changxing Army will definitely be more than lucky. If there is no containment of the Changxing Army, Guangning will be in danger.
Nurhachi finally calmed down after sending Tabai for half an hour, and he was always restless when he sat in the big tent, unable to do anything.
Every time he has such a situation, something big happens, and Quang Ninh is already under his siege. As long as the Changxing army is killed, it will definitely be able to fight down.
Daming's strength outside the pass was also beaten by him to shrink in Shanhaiguan and did not dare to come out, Lin Danhan's so-called 10,000 elite horsemen were no longer traced, and it was estimated that he was too frightened to show his head.
What else is there to keep you upset? Could it be Tabai? Can the Ming army, which is less than 3,000 pursuing by 5,000, have an accident?
Thinking of this, he couldn't sit still any longer, and shouted loudly outside the tent: "Huang Taiji! Old eight! ”
After a short time, Huang Taiji trotted to the big tent, and he was just about to give Nurhachi a salute when he was stopped.
"Eighth! Take five thousand horsemen to meet Tabai, and if the battle goes badly, he will immediately retreat. Nurhachi said.
"Huh!" Huang Taiji agreed, and with one person and two horses, he put on his waistcoat and chased westward.
The Jurchen cavalry led by Tabai was much better than that of the soldiers of the Changxing army, and it was unlikely that they would catch up with the Changxing army in a short time.
Although the two teams are constantly approaching, it will still be a long way to catch up with the fleeing Changxing army.
The two teams ran out of thirty miles in one go, and by this time Tabai had already chased less than fifty paces behind the Changxing army.
Looking at the Changxing Army who was about to catch up, he was happy in his heart. As long as they get closer, their bows and arrows can make the fleeing Changxing army taste powerful, and if they get closer, they only need to chase ten steps closer.
The Changxing army, who suddenly ran in front, threw the lit grenade backwards, although the grenade thrown backwards did not fall far, and did not damage Tabai's Jurchen vest.
But the loud noise and the constantly flickering firelight made the horses chasing the Jurchens involuntarily slow down, it was the instinct of animals, even if Tabai pumped the horses hard, it would not help.
"Run! When your war horses fall to the ground and die, I will let you taste the power of the Tabai steel knife! Tabai looked at the Changxing army in front of him and muttered.
