After Haoge was awarded the generalissimo of the expedition to the south by Huang Taiji, he was full of ambition and rushed towards the Taizi River with three banners and one hundred and twenty ox lu cavalry.

But as soon as the army crossed the Hunhe River, the poisonous sores on Yue Tuo's back began to attack, and he was no longer able to ride a horse, so Haoge discussed with Dai Shan, let Yue Tuo sit in the carriage, and slowly marched south, while Hao Ge and Dai Shan took their own fifty oxen and rushed all the way to the north bank of the Prince River.

Yue Tuo lay on the carriage and hummed all the way to the Taizi River, when Hauge had already fought fiercely with the Ming army several times.

Because across the Taizi River, Hauge only attacked tentatively, and the number of soldiers attacking each time was not large, and the total casualties were only a few Niu Lu.

At the same time that Yue Tuo came to the Taizi River, the herdsmen also brought the news that the Ming army was besieging Shengjing, but the herdsmen were not professional rangers, and the language was unknown, and the specific battle situation in Shengjing, Haoge and Dai Shan were not very clear.

Haoge saw that it was not easy to break through the Taizi River, and he was worried about the safety of Shengjing, so he had the intention of withdrawing the troops, but Daishan resolutely opposed the withdrawal of troops.

"Shengjing is besieged, Ama is in danger, we must withdraw our troops as much as possible, first relieve the siege of Shengjing, and then come back to clean up the Ming army in Liaoyang." Haoge relied on himself as the generalissimo of the expedition to the south, and did not take Dai Shan in his eyes at all.

"Generalissimo, Shengjing is besieged, whether the message is true or not, we don't know now, maybe this is the Ming army's counter-strategy." Dai Shan relied on his high ranking of the old generation and had sufficient combat experience, and he was not too interested in the naïve Haoge.

"Big Belle, whether the rumors are true or not, I only know that Shengjing is our homeland, and Ama is our Great Khan, and there is absolutely no room for loss."

"Take a step back, even if the information that Shengjing was besieged is true, we don't have to worry, the Great Khan's Zhenghuang Banner, there are still fifty Niu Lu, with the shrewdness and wisdom of the Great Khan, Shengjing will not lose for the time being."

Hauge didn't budge either: "Big Belle, no matter what, Sheng Jing and Amma, can't be put in a dangerous situation. ”

Dai Shan thought about it, Shengjing stored the foundation of the Dajin Kingdom, and there must be no accidents, "Generalissimo, let's do this, let's divide the troops, you go back to save Shengjing, I am here to watch out for the Ming army, if we all withdraw, the Ming army may cross the river to pursue." ”

"Okay," Hauge didn't want to quarrel with Dai Shan, Dai Shan stayed, and he could monopolize the rescue, "but I want to take away the twenty Niu Lu with red flags." ”

"Generalissimo, you have seen Yue Tuo's situation, can his body still withstand the toss?"

Haoge knew that although Yue Tuo was seriously ill, it was absolutely impossible for him to leave his soldiers, Jurchen soldiers, that was the life of the banner master, "Okay, then I will return to Shengjing immediately." ”

Dai Shan thought for a while, "Originally, the soldiers were fast, since the generalissimo was going back to Beijing, it was better to return to Beijing sooner rather than later, but I think, we have fought with the Ming army several times, and we are already familiar with the tactics of the Ming army, so it is better to take advantage of the whole army to launch a comprehensive attack on the Ming army, as long as we can cross the Taizi River, we can relieve the siege of Liaoyang, if we can't cross the Taizi River, then I don't plan to cross the river in the future, I just stationed on the north bank of the Taizi River, according to the river." ”

Hauge thought for a moment and said, "Okay, but when I go back, I'll take all the herdsmen with me." ”

"Generalissimo, you took the herdsmen, so what will we eat in the future? How long can the beef jerky we bring last long? Besides, when the generalissimo returns, he must gallop on horseback, and these herdsmen will not be able to keep up with your pace. ”

"Big Belle, we will leave all the beef and mutton jerky to you, when you finish eating these jerky, we should have defeated the Ming army in Shengjing and returned to the Taizi River again, as for the herdsmen can't keep up with the speed of our cavalry, Da Belle don't worry, the herdsmen can slowly return to Beijing, anyway, there is no Ming army between the Taizi River and the Hunhe River."

Dai Shan hopes that Hauge can help him when crossing the river, and he will not compete with Hauge for herdsmen at the moment, "Just according to the generalissimo, when will we start crossing the river?" ”

"Right now—I'm in a hurry to get back to Shengjing! Although we were not well prepared, and neither were the Ming troops, they would not have expected us to cross the river suddenly. ”

Haoge and Daishan began to straighten out their men and horses and began to line up, but Yue Tuo left the big tent to take care of the big tent because he couldn't get up yet, and did not participate in this river crossing.

Half an hour later, all the cavalry with yellow flags and red flags were ready, and they stood still, just waiting for the military order of the banner owner.

Dai Shan stroked his chest with his right hand and saluted Hauge: "Generalissimo, we are crossing the river first with a red flag, and you will follow you." ”

Hauge returned the salute: "Da Baylor rest assured, we are all people from the Dajin Kingdom, and in the treatment of the Ming army, our goals are absolutely the same." ”

Dai Shan nodded, and suddenly shouted: "Start crossing the river!" ”

The horn of the Jurchen people made a "whimpering" urging.

"Da Da Da ......"

The cavalry in front of the red flag crossed the tidal flats, and in a blink of an eye, they stepped into the Taizi River and quickly crossed the shallow water.

The sound of horses' hooves and horns of the Jurchens had already alarmed the Ming troops on the other side, and their flowering shells were the first to fire back.

"Boom...... Long ......"

"Boom...... Long ......"

"Boom...... Long ......"

……

On the south bank, the 120 artillery pieces of the three newly formed armies of the Ming army, all erected on the high ground, were constantly spitting out flower shells, and there were too many Jurchen cavalry in the river, and the gunners did not need to aim at all.

Every time a flowering bomb falls in the river, it will stir up a wave, and around the waves, people are turning on their backs, stumps and broken arms, mixed with blood and water, flying wantonly on the surface of the Taizi River.

The shattered leather armor and scattered limbs floated on the surface of the water, shocking and terrifying, and most of the corpses and corpses sank to the bottom of the water, forming stumbling blocks at the bottom of the water.

The power of the flowering bullet lies in the shock wave released when the gunpowder explodes, as well as the metal fragments inside the bullet, but when the flowering bullet falls to the water, it will also form a new threat, that is, water arrows.

If the water arrow hits the body of the centaur, the threat is not very great, at most the soldier will be overturned and dismounted, falling into the river, there will be no threat to life, if the water arrow hits the eye of the centaur, it is likely to puncture the retina, causing the centaur to be blind, at least a temporary blindness.

A flowering bullet, which landed exactly on the head of one of the cavalrymen.

When the "Long ......" flowering bomb exploded, the upper body of the soldier was torn into countless pieces, and the sky was like a rain of blood and flesh, and his lower body was still sitting upright on his horse......

Although the number of flowering shells was large, the interval between the firing was large, and only sporadic shots could be made of cavalry, and most of the cavalry were lying on horseback and continued to rush to the opposite bank.

This time, there were no man-made dikes in the upper reaches of the Taizi River, and the water level of the Taizi River also returned to normal, almost flooding to the back of horses.

The deeper the river, the slower the horses advanced.

After suffering several Niu Lu casualties from the flowering shells, the Jurchen cavalry finally advanced to the center of the river, where the water level of the Taizi River was deepest.

"Bang."

"Bang."

"Bang."

……

The flintlock pistols began to shoot, thousands of flintlock pistols, aimed at the Jurchen cavalry, it was a salvo.

The flintlock pistol is different from the artillery, when the soldiers fire a salvo, they will form a fire network in front, like a low wall, and push it forward, wherever the fire net passes, all the Jurchen cavalry will either die, or be wounded and fall from their horses, and fall into the water of the Prince River.

Until the cavalry behind caught up, however, the next row of gunners of the Ming army was already waiting for them.

A platoon of gunners, facing a group of Jurchen cavalry, the battle continued in the same place, and the Jurchen cavalry could not cross the center of the river, as if it was the Bermuda Triangle.

Dai Shan was at the back of the cavalry, he only saw the soldiers crossing the river, but he didn't see the soldiers shooting arrows at the opposite bank, "It's been so long, why haven't you released the arrows, can't the soldiers aim in the deep water?" ”

"Big Baylor, the soldiers are not yet in range."

"What? It's been so long and haven't been in the range of a bow and arrow? What are they doing in front of them - how many have we already killed and wounded? ”

"Big Belle, we've probably lost more than fifteen bulls in casualties."

"Fifteen?" Dai Shan was taken aback, it had only been a long time, and his soldiers had lost so much, he didn't seem to have seen the Ming army yet, and he didn't know how the Ming army's losses were, "There aren't many floating corpses on the water, how can there be so many casualties?" ”

"Big Belle, the soldiers have sunk to the bottom of the water - if it had not sunk to the bottom, the wounded soldiers would have had any hope of survival, and now, the wounded soldiers are drowning."

Dai Shan looked at the soldiers in front of him, the soldiers did not have any expression, under the double blow of artillery and flintlock pistols, the soldiers were numb, they lay on horseback, like zombies, let the war horses carry them all the way.

"Big Baylor, be careful."

A flowering bomb exploded less than fifteen days away from Daishan, and the column of water set off by the explosion had already swept into his face.

Fortunately, the distance was a little far, Dai Shan was not injured, he wiped the river water from his face, "Damn, this artillery of the Ming army ......"

"Big Baylor, like the flintlock pistols of the Ming army, killing people more powerfully, you see, there are artillery of the Ming army in the back, and our cavalry can continue to advance, but with flintlock pistols in front, our cavalry can't advance at all, and they are still blocked in the middle of the river."

"What, our cavalry is held back in the middle of the river? They simply can't go any further? Dai Shan was shocked, the soldiers were blocked in the middle of the river, basically let the Ming army shoot them, and if this continues, the Zhenghong Banner will be killed by the Ming army sooner or later.

"What about Big Baylor?"

"What about our casualties?" Dai Shan hasn't figured out what to do yet.

"The specific number of people cannot be counted now, but the casualties must be more than twenty Niu Lu."

"Twenty?" Dai Shan couldn't wait to arrest this personal soldier and beat him up as a Ming army, "This damn Ming army, what about their losses?" How can I not see it? ”

"Big Baylor, Ming Army...... It seems that the Ming army did not have losses, at least, we do not see their losses. ”
