Chapter 400: Two Blue Flags Borrow Troops from the Ming Dynasty
At Xiaoling River Station, the soldiers and horses of the two blue flags were attacked by the elite cavalry of the other six banners from the north and south, and the flames of war rose into the air, reflecting the night sky into a blood-red color.
Although the two blue flags are the army with the most bulls and the strongest combat power in the entire Eight Banners, it is inevitable that they will panic at this time under the hasty battle. After all, it was their friendly troops that attacked them, not the Ming army, and they were jointly surrounded and suppressed by the soldiers and horses of the other six banners, which made many soldiers of the two blue flags have no intention of fighting.
Fortunately, Amin has already completed the integration of the two blue flags, otherwise the situation will be even worse, and many soldiers with the blue flag would have surrendered to Huang Taiji if they had not been severely restrained by those generals.
After some hoarse operation, Amin finally barely stabilized the situation, and the two blue flag soldiers resisted from both sides, which was regarded as blocking Huang Taiji's offensive and failing to let the opponent's cavalry penetrate his own formation. Rao was like this, but the two blue flags were also very uncomfortable, and they were beaten in the middle by the other six flags, and the soldiers fell down one by one.
Huang Taiji ordered the rest of the six banners to attack this time, but in fact, he did not get everyone's support, everything was just his own assertion and forcible action. Therefore, this dispatch only brought out the cavalry of the Six Banners to raid, and most of the infantry did not have time to dispatch, otherwise they would have been able to level the two blue flags in one fell swoop.
This battle lasted until the beginning of the morning glow in the sky did not end, the two blue flags deserved to be the best of the eight banners, the emperor Taiji attacked in the middle of the night and failed to wipe them all out, in desperation can only temporarily withdraw the troops, go back to mobilize all the troops of the eight banners to kill again.
But the two blue flags were done by their own people like this, and the losses were extremely heavy, and less than half of the fifty Niu Lu had been left by dawn, and if Huang Taiji sent the six banner infantry to come, he couldn't stop the next round of attacks.
At the dawn of the morning, Amin dragged his exhaustion around the battlefield, and the situation he saw made his heart feel shocked and painful.
The camp set up by the two blue flags in Xiaolinghe Station has been dilapidated, the unburned fires everywhere are still emitting bursts of green smoke under the sunlight, the armor, canes, and baggage equipment are all over the place, and the corpses of countless soldiers are placed horizontally in the middle, and the whole scene is tragic and abnormal, making people unable to see it.
Amin's heart was dripping blood, he had planned to completely integrate the two blue flags, and then launch a fierce blow to Huang Taiji, as long as he could defeat the two yellow flags, the other flags would look at the scenery, and from then on they would be attached to him Amin's banner. Unexpectedly, Huang Taiji was so ruthless and resolute, and forcibly ordered the Six Banners cavalry to attack at night, killing him by surprise.
Now that the two blue flags have suffered heavy losses, what can he do to attack the two yellow flags, and how can the main flags and generals of the red and white flags be attached to his banner.
Amin couldn't help but sigh in a low voice, now that the general trend has gone, it is only a matter of time before the two blue flags are completely wiped out by Huang Taiji.
"Lord Belle!" Seeing that he was lonely, Zuo Ling Gu Santai, who was walking with him behind him, couldn't help but speak.
Amin glanced at Gu Santai, sighed again, and said, "Gu Santai, if I had listened to your advice, things would not have developed to this field." "When he was in Songshan, Gu Santai persuaded Amin to attack Huang Taiji, but Amin still hesitated after thinking about it, and let Huang Taiji go at the last moment, so he felt remorse in his heart at the moment.
Gu Santai said: "What is Lord Belle going to do next?" ”
Amin shook his head and smiled bitterly, "What else can I do?" Only wait for Huang Taiji to come, and then fight with him, two yellow flag brutes, kill one more is counted as one! At this point, it was impossible for Huang Taiji to let him go, so he didn't mention the matter of surrendering to Huang Taiji.
Gu Santai suddenly said: "Lord Belle is so confused, and now we are not in a desperate situation, why should we fight with Huang Taiji?" ”
Amin was surprised and said, "The two blue flags have fallen to this point, what else can be saved?" ”
Gu Santai has been facing Jinzhou City to the west, and said, "Has Lord Belle forgotten Daming?" ”
"Da Ming?" Amin's eyes lit up after hearing this, and he muttered to himself, "Da Ming, Da Ming!" Then he stomped his feet and said loudly: "Yes, how did I forget Daming!" "Jinzhou City is behind him, and Sun Yueling, the Liaodong Jingluo, has written to him many times to ask him to surrender, which is to put it in normal times He will not take Sun Yueling's words to heart at all, but now the two blue flags are damaged, and the destruction is only an instant, and Sun Yueling's words in his heart suddenly become as heavy as Mount Tai.
"Right now, we can only surrender to Daming!" Gu Santai persuaded at the right time.
Amin's expression became excited, and he put his arms around Gu Santai's shoulders and said, "Thanks to you for reminding me, I won't disobey your advice this time." Heaven will not die, my Amin, you hurry up and let the lamas in the army come over, I will personally write a letter to Lord Jinglue, and ask him to send troops to save me and others! ”
……
Five miles southeast of Xiaolinghe Station, Huang Taiji personally supervised the formation, leading the six banners of soldiers and horses to face Amin's two blue flags.
Although the battle in the early morning failed to completely annihilate the two blue flags, it had already broken their muscles and bones, and more than half of them were lost. Now the cavalry of the Six Banners is gathered here, as long as the iron is hot and attacks again, the two blue flags will definitely not be able to stop it.
Huang Taiji was worried, and immediately mobilized all the troops of the Six Banners to come after returning to the Daling River, he could not be at ease if he did not eat the two blue flags as soon as possible, Amin still had the ability to do so, if he could not be completely defeated this time, then Amin would definitely become a stumbling block for him to dominate Dajin in the other day.
So he once again ordered the generals of the Six Banners to gather troops to attack the two blue banners, the continuous conquest since this period of time has long made him anxious, if he can't settle Amin or let Amin return to Shenyang alive, his throne will be an empty shelf from now on, and any Baylor important minister will dare to ignore his majesty and not take his emperor Taiji in his eyes.
He would not allow that to happen.
Therefore, even if the rest of Baylor disagreed, even if the courtiers and generals unanimously opposed, he couldn't control so much, it was imperative to exterminate the two blue flags, and no one could stop him.
"Woo......"
As the horn of the attack sounded, the Six Banners launched an attack on the two Blue Flags.
The cavalry of the Six Banners divided into two teams, drew a long trajectory from both sides, and headed towards the two blue flags. The white-armored soldiers in the lineup maintained their formation and slowly advanced towards the two blue flag formations.
Houjin's tactical play is actually very simple, that is, use the advantage of cavalry to disrupt the local lineup, and then break through the formation with elite white-armored soldiers to win the battle.
After this style of play, Jin had already used it maturely enough, but at this moment they were facing two blue flags, and the two blue flags had obviously been familiar with this routine for a long time, and soon two cavalry forces rushed out from both wings and protected the flanks of the infantry.
Soon, the soldiers of the Two Blue Banners came into contact with the soldiers of the Six Banners, and the two sides fell into a bloody battle.
The overwhelming sound of fighting resounded, and the sky above the Liaozuo Plain was once again shrouded in smoke and feathered arrows.
Although the two blue flags were brave, after all, this time they were fighting against the Great Khan, and nearly half of their troops were lost by the surprise attack in the early morning, and the morale at this time was already very low, and everything depended on the strict restraint of Amin and the generals in the army to prevent it from collapsing. This time, in order to gather morale, Amin blocked the most elite white-armored soldiers with blue flags in front, and barely resisted the attack of the six banners, if this situation continues, the rout will only be a matter of time.
Seeing the elites of the blue flag falling one after another, Amin was anxious. He had already sent a messenger to send a letter to the Ming army, expressing his willingness to surrender to the Ming Dynasty, and from then on only Sun Yueling's order was obeyed, and asked Sun Yueling to send troops to rescue him as soon as possible, otherwise the two blue flags would be annihilated by Huang Taiji. In the letter, Amin tried his best to be humble and flattering, and almost blew Ming Jun and Sun Yueling as his reborn parents, only hoping that Ming Jun would come to relieve him of his distress and help him get through the current difficulties.
Sun Yueling's reply to him was to ask him to drag it as long as possible and hold on for a while. After the Ming army reorganized its troops and horses, they would rush to the rescue, and asked Amin to believe in his Sun Yueling's enthusiasm and not surrender without a fight.
Now that the Ming army has responded, Amin has put his mind at ease and let his most elite white-armored soldiers stand in the way, as long as they can hold out until the arrival of the Ming army, then his two blue flags will still have the day to counterattack Huang Taiji.
At this time, most of the white-armored soldiers in front have fallen, and the soldiers of the two blue flags are constantly being eaten away by the six banners, as the battle continues, the number of people has decreased a lot, but I am afraid that there are less than twenty Niu Lu left, and the soldiers of the six banners have gradually formed a fan-shaped encirclement around them, and they are about to attack again.
"Those who surrender to the Great Khan will be spared death!" In the Six Banners on the opposite side, someone shouted loudly.
This round after round of shouting made many low-level generals and ordinary soldiers lose the confidence to continue fighting, and as long as the opposite side launched another attack, they were afraid that they would abandon and surrender.
Most of the generals and soldiers of the two blue flags had no intention of fighting at this time, and when they saw the soldiers of the six banners on the opposite side rushing over again, they were all frightened in their hearts, and just when they were about to abandon their swords and surrender, they suddenly trembled in a big earthquake, and it seemed that a large group of soldiers and horses were rushing towards them quickly.
The soldiers of the two blue flags turned their heads to watch, but they saw the smoke and dust billowing from the rear of their own formation, and the sound of hooves was like thunder, and a strange soldier rushed towards them, and in an instant it was a hundred paces away.
This strange soldier gray-yellow outfit, like a gray-yellow sandstorm surging forward, when the first to raise a big flag, a big Zhao character on the flag, the banner with the wind hunting and dancing, obviously the Ming army Zhao led the Guanning iron cavalry.
Just when the soldiers of the two blue flags were shocked, there was a sudden rolling cry from the southwest, and a cavalry immediately appeared in their field of vision, the difference was that the cavalry's outfit was dark red, and the banner was written with a full character. The soldiers with the blue flag clearly understood at first sight that this was clearly the Mangui tribe who had chased them for several days and nights and still refused to give up.
The soldiers of the two blue flags were terrified, and the Ming army also launched a surprise attack on them at this time, in this case, they are bound to all die here, and the two blue flags will be completely wiped out.
Unexpectedly, these two cavalry turned a blind eye to them, and the gray-yellow cavalry in the rear circled around them and rushed straight towards the Six Banners soldiers in front. The dark red cavalry team also adjusted its direction slightly, charging towards the right flank of the Six Banners formation.
"Kill!" The deafening sound resounded throughout the battlefield again, and the Guanning Iron Cavalry actually let go of the two blue flags and launched an attack on the remaining six banners.
"Kill! Kill all these beasts who don't know whether they are alive or dead! Amin jumped on his horse and rushed to the forefront of the two blue flags. Sun Yueling really kept his word, and the arrival of the Ming army made him regain high morale, and the generals under the command launched a counterattack on the Six Banners Formation.
The soldiers of the two blue flags saw Amin and the rest of the generals taking the lead in the killing, and quickly came to their senses, it turned out that the Ming army was not here to kill them, but to save them. No wonder the pre-war commanders and generals all looked calm, it turned out that Daming was the savior.
"Kill!" The soldiers of the two blue flags howled one after another, followed behind Guan Ning Tieqi and Amin, and rushed towards the soldiers and horses of the Six Banners.
On the contrary, the generals and soldiers of the Six Banners were shocked and panicked when they saw that the Ming army suddenly joined the battlefield and helped the two blue flags.
"Withdraw, withdraw!" The generals of the Six Banners shouted one after another, but unfortunately it was too late, and the Ming cavalry had already inserted into their own formation, firmly blocking their retreat.
The sound of the horn tore through the sky, and the torrent of the Ming army was like a raging storm, covering the entire soldiers and horses of the Six Banners.
