Chapter 120: Fan Wencheng, an Unscrupulous Literati

Li Yongfang collected his troops and retreated, but the Mongolian cavalry did not have time to retreat, and even because of Li Yongfang's retreat, his formation was chaotic and directly exposed in front of the Janissary cavalry battalion. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Ao Bai first waved his right arm, and the fierce horse roared, slashing several Tartars in succession.

The warriors of the other cavalry battalions similarly pestered the Tartar cavalry on their horses.

Nowadays, the effect of Aobai's unique cavalry training is fully apparent, and the solidarity between man and horse makes the soldiers of the cavalry battalion kill the enemy on horseback as if they were on flat ground.

And this tribe that once relied on horseback to dominate the world is no longer as powerful as the golden family of the past.

The Mongol tribes, which had been fighting for many years, were now scattered, and although they were still strong in individual soldiers, they could not organize a decent confrontation once they encountered a cavalry attack of the same size.

For no other reason, even the two Mongol cavalry that are now aiding Huang Taiji are composed of several tribes of different sizes.

As soon as some tribes saw that the cavalry of the Ming army was so fierce and fearless of death, they even began to retreat directly in order to preserve their own strength, so that it didn't take long for the two banners of Mongolia to be directly defeated.

Huang Taiji now regrets his selfish decision to let the Han and Mongolian cavalry strike first, so that although he can probe the reality of the Ming army and consume the ammunition of the Ming army at the expense of the Han and Mongolian soldiers, it also reduces the morale of his side.

"It seems that Zhu Youxiao and his Praetorian Guards are not as simple as they imagined, their artillery will become so powerful, what is the artillery loss on our side?"

Huang Taiji said, and Tong Yangxing, who had already hung up the color, stepped forward: "Back to the Great Khan, all of them have been destroyed, although there are a few available, but it is difficult to defeat the enemy's new cannon with such a range and power." ”

Huang Taiji, who didn't think how powerful the Ming army's firearms were at first, couldn't help but feel a little distressed, and even asked Fan Wencheng on the side: "Mr. Fan has a good plan." ”

Fan Wencheng stroked a few strands of yellow whiskers under his chin, looked at the Han people who were captured and tied together with pigs, cows, dogs and sheep, and couldn't help but show a grim smile, pointing to these people with sad faces and saying:

"Great Khan, it is better to let these people go ahead, if the Ming army dares to open fire, it will only be some people who will die, but it can also consume the gunpowder of the Ming army, at that time, my Eight Banners warriors will kill from both wings, and advance with a rapid momentum, which may directly disrupt the deployment of the Ming army;

If the Ming army does not dare to open fire, if Zhu Youxiao is really a king who loves the people, then his firearms are useless, and he can only fight with us. ”

Fan Wencheng, as an early willing to cut off his hair and enter the Tartar camp, naturally because he was unhappy in the Ming Dynasty, was essentially not a far-sighted person, and because he himself had no discipline, so his attention was also undisciplined, ignoring the lives of the people of the same clan, although he was full of benevolence and morality, but he was more vicious than the Tartars.

Although the Tatar leaders are not ashamed of him as a Han man, they also agree with his suggestion again and again, everyone wants to let their tribal banner people die less, the population is wealth these years, rather than this, it is better to let these plundered Ming people as cannon fodder, anyway, these people will be brought out of the customs in the future is just as a "two-legged sheep" slaves.

But Huang Taiji didn't say anything, he was naturally not unwilling to drive the people of the Ming Dynasty as human shields to pave a bloody way for the warriors of the Eight Banners to rush and kill.

It's that he doesn't want to attack the Ming army unless he has to, after all, these so-called slaves will be the foundation of his future rise in the future.

Huang Taiji raised his eyebrows and pondered, the current battle situation was also the last thing he wanted.

He knew that his Houjin was currently sparse and lacking in strength, although a single soldier and a single team were far better than the Ming army that was still farming or working as a playboy at home a few months ago, but now the Ming still has hundreds of thousands of soldiers, and the longer he drags on in the Ming Dynasty, the more dangerous it becomes.

The last thing Huang Taiji wanted was to be beaten into a war of attrition, and from years of fighting his father, he knew that a war of attrition was the least worth fighting for the unproductive Houjin.

But as soon as he thought that he could capture His Majesty the Ming Emperor Zhu Youxiao alive by destroying the confrontation organized by the more than 10,000 Ming troops in front of him, so as to threaten the Ming court, he was reluctant to withdraw after losing hundreds of banners.

In the end, Huang Taiji still stood up resolutely: "Pass the order, drive the plundered 10,000 people to advance from the front, Duoduo and Abatai each lead 3,000 armored warriors to break in from the left and right flanks, Li Yongfang's department, the Khalkha department, and the Kur department will press the third and fourth rounds of attacks, no matter how fierce the thief's firearms are, they will rush to Ben Khan, and they will not collect their troops if they do not pay for it, and Dolgon you will lead three hundred yellow flag and white-armored soldiers to supervise the battle, if you dare to retreat, you will not be forgiven!" ”

"Yes!"

The Tartars all stepped on their horses, leaving only their heads with the thickness of copper coin holes shining in the sun, and their faces showed fierce colors, and their mouths were full of hot air, and the murderous atmosphere was awe-inspiring.

At the same time, the tens of thousands of people who were taken over were stunned, their faces were colorless, their hair was unkempt, and although most of them were adult men or women, there was no anger or hatred in their eyes, only grief.

"Let's go! What are you doing in a daze! ”

The puppet army that temporarily acted as the driving force, that is, the Han army of the Jin after surrendering, the fox and the tiger beat these Ming people with whips and walked forward.

After a slight hesitation, he directly hacked to death with a knife.

And the Praetorian Guards, who were hurrying to rest and strengthen the defense line while the Tartars had not yet attacked, immediately entered the battlefield after learning the news that the Tartars had arrived.

However, when they saw the countless Ming people walking towards this side, the soldiers of the Praetorian Guard were dumbfounded.

Fu Dahai had already ordered the artillery to adjust the gun position, but he did not give the order for a long time.

Zhu Youxiao also hurriedly walked out at this time, came to the artillery position, patrolled and saw the people approaching step by step, and couldn't help but smash the ground: "Despicable! ”

Although in this era, killing civilians on the battlefield by mistake is not a major matter, but Zhu Youxiao, as the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, coupled with the fact that he preached to the Praetorian Guard is to love the people and respect the people, and now let the people appear under his butcher's knife, if he brazenly orders to still attack, then the prestige he has established will be destroyed.

What's more, attacking the unarmed people of his own kind, he can't do it like other Praetorian Guard soldiers.

"The enemy changes, we also change", Zhu Youxiao said and shouted loudly: "Worship!" ”

"Minister!"

"Lead the cavalry battalion to kill first, annihilate the Tartar who drove the people, the infantry battalion also quickly followed, after the cavalry battalion opened the gap, escorted the people to evacuate back, the artillery battalion advanced, put the Tartar in and then fight!"

"Yes!"

Ao Bai and his cavalry had never dismounted from the beginning of the war, and at this time, Zhu Youxiao gave an order, and the nearly 1,000 cavalry rushed out again.

Huang Taiji was not idle here, seeing that the Ming army deliberately used cavalry to disrupt his own deployment, he was busy drinking and ordering Duoduo to shoot back.
