Chapter 394: Giving Authority to Catch Up

Chapter 394: Giving Authority to Catch Up

At this time, the whole Dengzhou army of the Jiaozhou battalion was only moving forward, they only had the enemy in front, the Tartar army in front, and the two wings of the Dengzhou army were still cruising with the enemy, but these enemies were just fleeing with the army in a panic, and no one wanted to take the opportunity to attack the weakly defended flanks.

The Dengzhou army suffered heavy losses, but this resilience and momentum were unstoppable, and now no one dared to provoke the sharpness of this forward army, and the sharpness of the entire Tartar army was wiped out by the advance of the firecracker troops led by Zhao Neng Fangcai.

The army of the Tartars, no matter what the military law is harsh, no matter what the victory in a hundred battles, is now unable to support it, seeing the neat queue in front of them, whether it is cavalry, artillery or musketeers, everyone is completely cold from the soles of their feet to the top of their heads.

Ordered to be the general Abatai, who has always been the commander of Ruoding in this battle, he has been on the verge of victory several times, he is now equal to the backbone and soul of the entire Tartar army, he has already turned his mount and fled, and the cavalry behind him is not going to insist.

Don't mention the formation change of the front team to the rear team, the smarter one is to turn the mount and run to both sides, and then turn to the north, the brain is not so flexible, it is to turn on the spot, but the cavalry of the rear team does not know that the front has begun to retreat, standing still, crowded with each other, and it is even more chaotic.

The Manchurian cavalry of the Tartars, the formation has always been very good, under the calm dispatch of Abatai and other generals, galloping back and forth on the battlefield to attack, until now, nothing can be discussed, the whole team is like a sand sculpture piled up on the beach, beaten by the waves, and collapsed violently.

For the convenience of attacking, the formation of the Manchu Eight Banners Horse Team has always been very close, and it is extremely inconvenient to turn and flee at this time. In the midst of great confusion, almost every Tartar cavalry could hear the calm, unchanging pace of the fiery procession from the earth-shattering rhythmic drumbeat.

Those madmen are about to catch up again, and these soldiers and horses on the front line of the Tartar army are panicking, if they run slowly, I am afraid that they will be killed by the fire of these madmen, how can there be people in front of them here to block the way. At this time, who cares about what is the same clan or not, in order to survive, these cavalrymen did not hesitate to wave the weapons in their hands, and the scene was even more chaotic.

The rhythm of the drum is still the same, but this calm drum sound makes the Tartar cavalry even more confused, Zhao Neng's breathing is slightly heavy, his forehead is already slightly sweaty, and he is wearing half-body armor. Constantly giving orders and constantly striding forward, this is not too easy work, not to mention that Zhao Neng has been commanding almost half of the battle, and the consumption of mental and physical strength is very large. This charge is even more tired.

But the amplitude of each step he took was still so big, his expression was cold, and now Zhao Neng was the core of the Dengzhou Army. With him in front, the soldiers will not retreat.

Zhao Neng's luck was not so good, there were several dents in his plate armor, which were all stray bullets that hit the breastplate when Fang Cai and the North Korean firecrackers were shooting at the ground.

The plate armor worn by a general of his rank was of excellent quality, and with a North Korean level of firearms, it was afraid that a frontal shot would not cause any damage, and a stray bullet would not break through the armor.

The momentum carried by the fireable projectile flying at high speed was extremely large, and it smashed on the plate armor. It was tantamount to being swept by a heavy weapon, the armor and body were impacted, Zhao Neng's chest hurt, and he always had the feeling of vomiting blood in his throat, but he endured it and didn't show it.

In his views on both sides of the enemy, Zhao Neng seemed to be an invulnerable and fearless King Kong at the moment, he was fearless, leading the firecrackers to advance as if they were heavenly soldiers. Unstoppable.

Zhao Neng swallowed the uncomfortable in his throat and forced himself to swallow it. He raised the axe and gun in his hand and swung it forward, shouting:

"Stand~~~~!" "All ready!!" "Fire!!"

The musketeers reload their ammunition. Aiming at the Tartar soldiers within the firing range, who were panicked and slashing at each other, they pulled the squad, and at this time it could really be said that every bullet destroyed an enemy, and the four rows of shots were fired, and the Tartar cavalry fell from their horses like leaves in the wind.

The whole large array collapsed with a bang at this gunfire, so many troops reached an agreement at this moment, and scattered in three directions except for the front, and the whole army was completely dispersed, and when the soldiers of the first row opened fire again, only a few unlucky ghosts were hit, and the second row opened fire again, and the army of the Tartars was almost completely dispersed.

The situation in front of them really showed the word rout, and the soldiers of the Tartars completely turned into a mass of scattered sand, fleeing towards the north in disarray, no one cared about themselves in that banner, no one cared about themselves under the control of that battalion, and no one even dared to turn back.

The Tartar cavalry were only galloping on their horses, and no one even noticed that the musketeers in the third and fourth rows, despite their firing gestures, did not fire.

Looking at the infantry brigade that was like a rainbow and shouting forward, the Tartars really didn't dare to stay here anymore, and the fire guns supported by the spear phalanx were a nightmare for the cavalry, not to mention that the other party had calmly crossed the artillery array, and the reliance in their hands was also gone, run!

And those Korean firecrackers and Han soldiers couldn't run at all, not to mention the stormy firecracker shooting, they were always pressing their horses and following behind the firecrackers, they chased after them, and these servant soldiers who were charging in front and broke off in the back didn't run at all.

Some of these foot soldiers are Han people who have lived outside the Guanguan for many years, and some are Han people brought over by King Sanshun when he defected to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, but their hands are stained with the blood of the Han people, and they are also afraid of cruel revenge, knowing that there will be no good end after surrendering.

But now in such a situation, in addition to surrendering, it seems that there is only a dead end, and the cavalry team of the Dengzhou Army, which has always been following Zhao Neng, has accelerated forward, although when they chased over, the army of the Tartars had already run a little far.

The cavalry of the Dengzhou Army, which had less than 2,000 men, naturally did not pursue the Manchu and Mongolian cavalry, which were more than ten times more numerous than themselves, and their goal was to intercept these fleeing servant soldiers.

These infantry soldiers are not strong in combat, but they are soldiers in the Tartar army who can control firearms, and they are also infantry who know various combat techniques, and the strength of their Tartars has been greatly enhanced. Many of the shortcomings of the cavalry army were supplemented by these hated infantry.

After being slashed and killed by running fast and not wanting to stop, the only thing the rest of the people could do was to surrender, between the firecrackers and the cavalry, nearly 5,000 surrenderers were sandwiched between two troops of less than 2,000 people, but these soldiers and horses did not dare to move, so they could only surrender obediently on their knees.

The only five remaining guns arrived first, and the participating musketeers were followed by the infantry brigade. Zhao Neng, who had been standing there straight, breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, there would be no change now, his mood was relaxed, but his body also shook a few times, he grabbed the handle of the axe and gun hard, and ordered in a deep voice:

"The battalions went to the periphery to be on strict alert, and the firecrackers who were not led by the general immediately stepped forward to take their place, what was the name of the military academy who stepped forward. That's right, Wang Tao is now the commander of the Dafang team, let him lead people to collect the weapons of the captives, and those who disobey will not be forgiven! ”

It was the heralds who gathered around him again who listened to the order and suddenly agreed. They each went to the herald office to give orders, and Zhao Neng felt a little relaxed, and for a while, he couldn't even grasp the axe gun in his hand a little unsteadily, and fell straight backwards. Although the battle had come to an end, the firecrackers beside him still maintained their solemnity in the battle situation, and when they saw Zhao Neng flipping backwards, this was the reaction, and several people hurriedly stepped forward to help.

The pro-soldiers on the side were in a hurry, for fear that something would go wrong with their main general, so a pro-soldier said hello and unfastened the plate armor on Zhao Neng's body. Some people also looked at their chapped lips, took out a water bladder and poured water on Zhao Neng's mouth, untied the plate armor, and poured a few mouthfuls of water.

Zhao Neng, who had his eyes closed, took a long breath, slowly opened his eyes, and said with a smile:

"I didn't have enough to eat in the morning, and I was in a bit of a trance, and you all went to look at the captives. Watch out for those tartars. The Tartars rode horses, and they might have to come back later. I don't have to worry about you. ”

Several pro-soldiers still insisted on it, but they were glared at by Zhao Neng's eyes, and they didn't dare to say more, the chaos of command is one thing, but the kind of bravery and fortitude of Fang Cai greatly improved the prestige in their hearts, and after giving an order, these pro-soldiers escorted a solemn military salute and went to their respective departments.

Only a personal soldier was left here to take care of him, Zhao Neng untied the inner lining of the armor, and a few huge bruises on his chest, which was obviously caused by a stray bullet, and the pro-soldiers on the side were a little anxious at first glance, and they were about to call the army to Langzhong, but they were stopped by Zhao Neng:

"This little injury is not in the way, and those brothers who are injured and bleeding, let Lang Zhong go to work!"

The soldiers stood up behind him, and Zhao Neng sat on it with a golden sword, wearing a big coat, showing his chest and abdomen in the cold wind, and in front of him were thousands of soldiers who knelt down, but this face was also majestic and happy.

The remnants of the musketeers were placed on the north side of the front after being mixed with the charging musketeers, and the spearmen were also transferred to the north with ten battalions to line up with the musketeers.

There were also some scattered battalion leaders who were sent to the battlefield to collect ammunition on those fire guns who were killed and seriously wounded, and the reason why the fire gun array led by Zhao Neng did not start shooting in the third and fourth rows was not because of exhaustion, but because the ammunition was exhausted.

At this time, the bullet is not the bullet of later generations, but the powder bag and lead pellet containing gunpowder, the weight is not light, generally a soldier in addition to carrying a heavy gun, that is, can take about 20 rounds of ammunition and bullets, the Jiaozhou battalion of the gunpowder soldiers in full physical training to ensure that each person can take 30 rounds on the battlefield, this is also the limit, just in front of the large array of firearms soldiers continue to fire, consume a lot of ammunition.

Not to mention Zhao Neng's decisive assault, such a dense and rapid shooting, after chasing this side, the ammunition has already run out, if Abatai and a certain Tartar army general can have the courage and determination to attack tentatively, the situation may be completely different.

But the troops of the Dengzhou Army had the last laugh, Zhao Neng had nothing to fear in his heart, in such a situation, the Dengzhou Army of the Jiaozhou Battalion showed such great courage to fight, and the victorious side must be the Dengzhou Army.

In such a non-combat situation, the troops under the Jiaozhou battalion system did everything very efficiently and in a very regular manner, and all the soldiers who surrendered dropped their weapons and knelt there, in the north. The musketeers, artillery and spearmen were on guard, and the situation was completely under the control of the Dengzhou army.

"Scatter the cavalry and go everywhere to investigate, the Tartars will definitely gather their soldiers and horses, and be sure to find out where their big camp is located, the cavalry of the Tartar cavalry is not injured, and it is possible to counterattack at any time, go quickly!"

Zhao Neng gave this order with a strong voice. The situation in front of him is that the firearms and ammunition of the Jiaozhou battalion are already very tight, and the infantry team of the spear ground is extremely tired, if the opponent's horse team can still organize a cavalry attack like Fang Cai, then there is a chance that his side will suffer a big loss, and the situation that he finally got will collapse.

The cavalry commander, though extremely tired, was also very excited, wiped the sweat from his face there, and clenched his fists on his horse to obey the order. Ride your own horse to assign tasks.

In such a scene, everyone was beaming, and it was a great victory, from the sudden encounter in the morning, until the sun was about to set. Several times of disadvantage, several times have been pulled back, and in the end, it looks like it is about to collapse, who would have thought that the peak protrudes. It's a comeback again.

In the end, the army shouted "forward" in unison, charging forward, everyone thought that they were in it, and everyone was in a kind of excitement.

It's just that Zhao Neng didn't have a happy mood sitting there, the collapse of the left flank, the shooting of the Mongolian horse team after the distance, and the bombardment of the artillery, which caused great losses to the Dengzhou military land. And although the battle on his side looked like a big victory, the loss of the Tatar real horse team was not large, and the Mongolian horse team in the servant army did not suffer much loss, and the other party was a cavalry, although it could make a comeback, the situation was still not optimistic.

"My lord, what about these captives?"

A herald brought instructions to check and escort the prisoners, and Zhao Neng sobered up from his thoughts. At this time, he felt a little cold. Put the inner lining of the fur on the body again, and tighten the big coat again. He said in a cold voice:

"They said what to do!"

The generals in the Jiaozhou battalion system are not blind obedience to their superiors, but have some of their own views and positions, and the main generals will generally ask after asking, or learn from their opinions or directly accept their opinions, sure enough, he asked, the pro-soldier hurriedly replied:

"My lord, I said over there, these foot soldiers are all strong soldiers, and it is also a good place to go back and be a people's husband, if you are willing to surrender, even if you are incorporated into our Dengzhou Army, it is not impossible, this time many battalions are too damaged, after all, they are all Han."

Zhao Neng sighed, it was all white mist, this is the weather that is about to enter the wax moon, it will not be warm at all, Zhao Neng, the general of the Dengzhou Army, is known for being taciturn among the generals of the Jiaozhou battalion, and there are few long speeches, and people are also some good people, the following battalion thousands of generals, the general manager or something, if you want to insist on your own opinions, Zhao Neng's side will generally not argue, but go with the flow.

However, this time, hearing the obviously very reasonable rhetoric of the generals below, Zhao Neng was silent, and after a while, he said coldly:

"Go and bring my words to those boys, these people are the beasts in front of them, who came south from the customs after entering the customs, and they did what they did to the common people along the way, washing the city and slaughtering them, did they ever think they were Han people at that time? Just now, many of our brothers in the Dengzhou Army died at the hands of these people, at that time, did these people think that they were Han Chinese? Their glory and wealth are all outside the gate, the Tartars come over, do you think they will be of the same heart as our Jiaozhou camp! ”

A few rhetorical questions, of course the pro-soldier who came to ask for instructions understood the meaning, and the honest man did not speak, but this speech was said to the point, and the pro-soldier thought about the battle of this day, and he also listened to the order awe-inspiringly, clenched his fists and said solemnly:

"The villain understands, so he will transfer the words of the adults to the commanders of each battalion!"

At this moment, I heard a commotion nearby, and I could hear someone shouting hoarsely:

"I was a general in Daming Dengzhou back then, and I have always had Daming in my heart, the reason why the Tartars entered the ambush circle of your army this time, and the Tartar soldiers and horses were so caught off guard that it was completely small to contribute from it!"

Being shouted at like this, Zhao Neng's answer with his own soldiers was also interrupted, and he looked in the direction of the shouting, and saw several soldiers walking towards this side with a leader of Tartar soldiers and horses.

"The villain wants to meet the big handsome, and there is an inside report from the Tartars. There are important things to be reported by the Tartars! ”

After a while, this person had been escorted to him, and he was tied up and fell to the ground, and the leader of the Tartar soldiers and horses desperately raised his head and looked at Zhao Neng in front of him, and said in fear:

"Dashuai, the villain was coerced to the side of the Donglu by the great traitor chief Kong Youde that day, and he has always had a great heart in his heart, and this time your army won a big victory. The villain contributes a lot, and the villain contributes a lot! ”

Zhao Neng slowly stood up from the horse, looked coldly at the leader of the Tartar Army who was struggling to show his merits, and asked indifferently:

"Oh, listen to you, you're still a meritorious man?"

The man on the ground desperately made a kowtow gesture, but the whole person seemed to be a shrimp, and he cowered extremely much. Lian Lian said:

"The army is mighty, handsome and martial, how dare the villain take credit, but he has made a little effort in it, and the villain has been in the Tartar army for a long time. Knowing the secrets will definitely be of great benefit to the army, to the commander, and to our Ming. The villain knows that he has a big sin, but he also asks the marshal to give the villain a chance to make meritorious service and atone for his sins! ”

Zhao Neng pulled out the command knife he wanted to see, this knife is a slightly shorter embroidered spring knife style, which can be used in actual combat, Zhao Neng sneered and said:

"Look at how you are dressed, you are the general who commanded this foot soldier there!"

"Yes, yes, the villain knows that it is a capital offense to rush into the tiger power of the army. But the villain does know many confidential things about the Tartar soldiers and horses and outside the gate, and please give the villain a chance to make meritorious service and atone for his sins! ”

"Just now when you drove your subordinates to urge the army and my Jiaozhou battalion soldiers and horses to attack and kill each other, did you ever think that you were a Han person, since entering the customs, you led the soldiers and horses to wash and plunder along the way, poisoning the desperate people of the Ming Dynasty, but you ever thought of your own Han people. You followed Kong Youde to slaughter Dengzhou. When he ravaged Shandong, he thought that he was a Han Chinese. At this time, you are going to be defeated and die, you have to say that you are a Han Chinese, I am a Chinese man, there is no beast like you! ”

Zhao Neng was dumbfounded, and after reprimanding angrily, the command knife in his hand slashed down, the man's disgusting voice begging for mercy stopped abruptly, his body and head were separated, and blood sprayed wildly, although it was a big battle, but the surrounding pro-soldiers and generals were all heartbroken, and took a step back, Zhao Neng said coldly:

"The civilians who were coerced to go outside the customs can still be said to be innocent, these people are helping to abuse, and the hatefulness of the Tartars, how can they stay, do you know how to pass the order!"

The pro-soldiers standing around were solemn at the same time, and gave a military salute loudly, Zhao Neng nodded, and ordered:

"If you don't leave any of them, you will be executed on the spot!!"

At this time, the upper and lower levels of the Dengzhou army had recovered from the excitement of the great victory, and the casualties in each camp had almost been counted, and the data was reported to Zhao Neng's side, with nearly 6,000 casualties.

The 21,000-strong troops suffered nearly 6,000 casualties, which is an unacceptable number for the Jiaozhou battalion system.

The casualties of the comrades and brothers were so miserable, except for those battalions that suffered heavy losses, the eyes of all battalions in the center were also red from the generals to the officers and soldiers, and Zhao Nengdi's order was issued, which was naturally resolutely implemented.

Those Korean firecrackers who fought for the Tartars, those soldiers of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty and the soldiers of the Sanshun Wang, who were still lucky, in their impressions, after the losses of the Ming generals, they must think of replenishing manpower from their high-quality prisoners of war, because the strength of the army is the strength, and they must not be neglected, and their own capital must not be neglected, and the soldiers will die if they die in battle, and they will not care.

Who would have thought that this group of Ming troops was not an ordinary number of roads at all, they took the lives of their comrades very seriously, the soldiers of the Jiaozhou battalion were not simple tools, they had their own thoughts, they knew revenge......

The massacre ended quickly, with vengeful soldiers and unmotivated captives, well-trained Jiaozhou battalion soldiers and cowering Korean soldiers, and Jurchenized Han Eight Banners, the contrast was easy to guess and the process was extremely fast.

Poked at the head of the spear platoon, Guan Bao had no living people, whether it was the North Korean firecrackers or the Han Eight Banners, they were all scared and stupid, they didn't even resist when they were dying, when did the Han people who had always been weak in the Guannai actually be so strong and ferocious.

Haven't they always been there to talk softly about great truths and benevolence?

China for thousands of years. The Han people relied on force to conquer all the places suitable for survival on the East Asian continent, and have always subdued the four Yi with authority, but at the end of the Ming Dynasty, the etiquette system collapsed, natural and man-made disasters, and the country collapsed. He was persuaded by what the barbarians around him were talking about.

As a result, the southwest was in turmoil, several provinces were shaken, and the Tartars in the northeast repeatedly raised troops to invade the Ming Dynasty and ravaged the Ming Dynasty, which was the so-called benevolence and righteousness.

Anyway, these barbarians also understand in their hearts that you want to talk about benevolence and righteousness, and you want to talk about gentle means, anyway, the Tartars are shrewd in their calculations. If you can grab and kill, you can make a bargain, if you can't beat it, Daming will talk to you about benevolence, righteousness and etiquette, anyway, you don't have to be afraid.

Many of the Korean firearms soldiers were drawn by the Manchu Qing Tartars, and some were captured by the Ming army. But there was no punishment, thinking that it was a vassal country, and it was loyal to the Ming Dynasty, and it was forced to be driven by the Tartars. As a result, the civil officials in charge of the Ming Dynasty were all politely sent back.

Originally, the fear of the Ming Dynasty in North Korea was deep-rooted, although the Manchu Qing Dynasty fought a few big victories over the Ming Dynasty, but the North Korea was still often afraid that their actions would be retaliated.

Therefore, neither the Jurchen horse corps nor the Mongol cavalry dared to stay and surrender. But the North Korean firecrackers and the foot soldiers of the Han Eight Banners stayed, first, they couldn't run, and second, they felt that they were either recruited by the other party's generals or would be released.

Surrender is nothing, waiting for the Manchurian army to come, and then return to surrender to Cheng, when Shenyang fell, it was those who were captured by Yuan Yingtai. Follow Mongolia to fight together. Kill the gates opened by the defenders, causing the city outside the gate to fall into the hands of the Man.

But the Ming army they encountered today was different. The Jiaozhou battalion is a reaction against the 300-year-old tradition of the Ming Dynasty, and it is also a positive change to the Chinese Han civilization from the original martial arts to the weak culture.

After killing, after letting these Tartars and traitors see blood, they can be impressed, and they can warn those who have ill intentions in the world, so that they can remember them for many years.

The corpses everywhere and the bloody atmosphere that permeated the land, the Dengzhou army was not prepared to pay attention to it, and they did not have time to clean up these hands, presumably the nearby civilians would definitely come to clean up the battlefield after the battle was over.

The sun had already set, and the Dengzhou army only felt the fatigue of a hard day's struggle at this time, but their camp was still about three miles away from the battlefield, and it was safe to return there at present.

The cavalry who went to the camp to report the news took the people and Ding Zhuang back to the battlefield together, and the people took advantage of the afterglow before dusk to carry the corpses of the soldiers of the Dengzhou Army onto the cart, life and death on the battlefield, the Jiaozhou battalion had a promise to the soldiers, if you died in battle, you may not give your body to your family, but you will definitely bring your ashes back.

For the people who want to return to their hometowns after death, this is already a great promise, and the current atmosphere does not show any fatigue after the big victory, the fatigue after the hard battle, the sadness of the death of their comrades, and the heaviness after the massacre just now, so that everyone is reluctant to speak out.

The twenty cannons didn't have much meaning for the Jiaozhou battalion, they were too heavy and clumsy, and his ignition air hole and gun body were together, and some craftsmen with the army nailed the red-hot iron bar into this air hole, and then poured cold water, this gun could not ignite the fuse, and it was basically scrapped.

The rest of the artillery is naturally treated in this way, twenty guns are extremely powerful, but it is so simple to make it lose its combat effectiveness, this kind of small details are a little different in the artillery of the Jiaozhou battalion, the ignition gun holes of the artillery cast by the Jiaozhou Battalion Ordnance Manufacturing Bureau can be moved, and they can be replaced with new ones.

The Tartar guns, the sticks used to reload, the brushes used to wash the breeches, and all the tools that could be used by the artillery, were completely destroyed, destroyed, or burned.

Originally, after the Dengzhou Army cleaned up the corpses of the Dengzhou Army on the battlefield, they began to prepare to retreat, and it was Ouman of the experimental battalion who insisted that they do all this.

After doing these things, the Dengzhou army of the Jiaozhou battalion can be sure of one thing, that is, the Tartar army can no longer use these guns.

Although it is a victory, there is no atmosphere of victory. The soldiers shuffled their tired steps, accompanied by wagons of corpses and trembling men.

Zhao Neng, who was sitting on the horse, looked indifferent, rode at the forefront of the team, and occasionally stopped to look at the marching queue, when the soldiers walked by Zhao Neng's side, they would always look at this brave and incomparably brave general with reverence.

But Zhao Neng didn't think so. He knew that his command had huge flaws, if there were no problems, maybe the Dengzhou Army would not have suffered such huge losses, and Zhao Neng, the general of the Dengzhou Army, blamed himself, but what he didn't realize was that as a military commander, in this battle, he had indeed grown. Albeit at a higher cost.

After walking slowly for an hour, the Dengzhou army that returned to the camp also had to guard against the Tartar horse team attacking from the flanks on the road, but there was nothing to do along the way, and the Tartar army must have been tired and tired after a hard day's battle. There is no superfluous experience to play.

The camp built by the minfu behind the battlefield was the fortress of the Dengzhou army when it was defeated, and although it was a bitter winter, the soldiers of the Jiaozhou camp still urged the minfu Ding Zhuang to dig a trench around the camp. The walls were built with gravel, mud, and wooden piles.

In the Jiaozhou battalion's drill, if it is not to fight on the inner line of Shandong, march thirty miles a day, and then build a camp under strict guard, which can ensure that the troops of the Jiaozhou battalion can resist the siege of most enemies with a small number of soldiers, and wait for the arrival of reinforcements.

This is completely in accordance with the operation mentioned by Qi Jiguang in the "New Book of Ji Xiao", although it is a little cumbersome and slow, but it is a real and perfect strategy. Of course, in terms of the attack power and strength of the Jiaozhou battalion, it may not be able to use such defenses on many battlefields.

In the history of normal development without Li Mengdi, there was a unit in the late Qing Dynasty that used this tactic, that is, the Hunan army of Zeng Guofan.

After entering the camp, everything finally became more stable. The officers and soldiers did not have to worry about the Tartars taking the opportunity to attack. The generals arranged the sentinels and defenses according to the rules, and most of them could finally take a rest. The battalion that originally urged the people to work naturally served as a vigilance.

When it was completely dark, the sentinel cavalry sent out began to turn around, and the news from the detection was not easy, the Tartars gathered their soldiers and horses in the battlefield twenty miles away, and camped in Nanpi County, the Tartar Manchurian cavalry and some of the Han Eight Banner cavalry were in this Beizhili place, and it was not like the Ming soldiers who might be scattered among the people, they had nowhere to go, and they could only collect the soldiers and horses.

And they are all on horseback, and their mobility is quite good, and it is estimated that the Tartar army will not lose too many men and horses because of the rout, and they can almost gather back to the camp.

Besides, the twenty miles away is almost a temporary military station set up by the Tartars, which can also be used as a camp, and it is convenient to camp on the spot. According to the observation of the reconnaissance cavalry, the Tartar army only strengthened the guard and guard around the camp, and there was no other movement.

Zhao Neng, who heard the news, was very worried, his own tired army with great losses, if the war continued tomorrow, although the Tatar troops also suffered losses, but compared with the two, the gap between the strength of the two sides has widened, depending on the sophistication of the other general, the means of forcing the other party away today may not be useful tomorrow, so what should I do tomorrow, do you stick to this camp?

"General, the old and young masters of the two yellow flags are the emperor's pro-army, but they can't be thrown in this Ming country, if you are blue and want to continue to stay here and fight to the death, we won't accompany you, Tan Tai, I will take the men of the two yellow flags back to the customs outside."

Tan Tai, the commander of the Zhenghuang Banner, had bandages on his shoulders, and shouted angrily at Abatai in the handsome tent, calling the general in his mouth, but there was no trace of respect, Abatai, who was sitting at the top, was very silent there, but Yue Le on the side was already angry, and reprimanded loudly:

"The general was ordered by the emperor, and he was given the sword of Shang Fang, Tan Tai has no upper and lower physique, and there is still His Majesty the Emperor in his eyes, is there still a general?"

Tan Tai had a sneer on his face, many of the two yellow flag armor soldiers and flag soldiers were standing behind him, and Abatai's own soldiers were also pressing their hands on the hilt of their swords.

"That's enough, give me some quiet!!"

Unable to bear it, Abatai slapped the table heavily.

At this moment, there was a north-south slope two miles east of the Tartar camp, a very long slope, and no one in the Qing army who was arguing at the camp noticed that there were two knights on the slope, although there was a knight on a horse who was still holding a torch, even if it was a spy of the Ming army, as long as the army did not come to attack, no one paid attention to the cruising sentry, and they naturally couldn't hear the conversation between the two knights.

"Dashuai, it's hard to catch up, let's ......"

"It took so hard to rush back and block it, so naturally I can't let any of them go."

The two knights laughed loudly in the night, and behind them, on the east side of the slope, tens of thousands of troops stood silently and silently......
