Chapter 218: On the banks of the Daling River

The strong smell of blood attracts the fish in the river, and even the fish are rolling and playing on the water, if there is a fisherman who happens to pass by with a harpoon, the fisherman does not need to aim, as long as he throws the harpoon into the river, it will not fail.

When Wang Mujiu arrived at the Daling River, the cavalry on both sides was entangled, and the gunners could not shoot at all.

The soldiers on both sides were fighting with all their might, and they directly ignored Wang Mujiu's arrival.

Wang Mujiu sounded the horn of retreat, and he wanted to let Man Gui retreat, so that the gunners could eliminate these Buyeongs.

Man Gui heard the sound of the horn, and he struggled to cut down the Buyeo soldier in front of him, "Who is this?" Why let us retreat? The Buyeo people can't support it when they see it, isn't this the credit of the gun? ”

"The military seat, it seems to be the first army of the royal family, they may have brought His Majesty's new will."

"Majesty? Does Your Majesty know that we are fighting the Buyeo people? Man Gui squinted at the First Imperial Army, and he searched for Wang Mujiu in the crowd.

Wang Mujiu continued to blow the horn, he was urging Man Gui.

"Junzuo, let's retreat first, and listen to what Wang Junzuo has to say."

Man Gui looked at the battlefield that was fighting fiercely, the Ming army gradually gained the advantage, if it continued to fight, as long as there were no reinforcements from Fuyu, the Ming army would definitely achieve the final victory.

"Military seat, His Majesty's military order is like a mountain......"

"Withdraw, let's see how Wang Mujiu explains to me." Man Gui looked at the battlefield with infinite remembrance, but he didn't dare not listen to Zhu Youzhen's order.

The Seventh Cavalry Army immediately disengaged from the Buyeo people, who were being overwhelmed by Man Gui, and as soon as Man Gui withdrew, they suddenly felt relaxed, but they did not dare to pursue, just looked at the newly arrived Royal First Army from a distance.

Man Gui was angry at the bullfight, his fingers almost touched Wang Mujiu's nose, "Wang Mujiu, what do you mean?" Don't you see that the Buyeongs are about to be defeated? Why were we given the order to retreat? ”

"Full Army," Wang Mujiu's face was expressionless, "Can the Seventh Cavalry Army really defeat the Buyeo people?" ”

"Are you blind? Can't see such a simple situation clearly? When he met such a foolish military commander, Man Gui wanted to cry silently.

"Manjun Seat, how long will it take to defeat the Buyeo people?" Wang Mujiu was not angry, and his face was not sad or happy.

"An hour at most." The advantage of Man Gui's loud voice was fully exerted at this time.

Wang Mujiu quickly asked: "How many cavalry will you have to sacrifice?" ”

"About two or three thousand ......" Man Gui realized that something was wrong, and his voice immediately dropped from high to low, "You ......"

"Full military seat, the cavalry is the treasure of His Majesty, and there will be two or three thousand casualties, if His Majesty knows about it, what will he think?" Wang Mujiu didn't look at Man Gui either, his eyes had already turned to the Buyeyu people opposite.

"If you don't say it, how do you know?" Man Gui stiffened his neck, still refusing to admit his mistake.

"There are so many soldiers on the battlefield, can the full army seat guarantee that none of them will leak out? Manjun thought that His Majesty was staying in the dark room and letting others deceive him? Wang Mujiu's gaze moved from Fuyu's body to Man Gui's face.

"There will be casualties on the battlefield, it is inevitable, as long as the Buyeo people are defeated, I would rather not have war exploits." Man Gui avoided Wang Mujiu's gaze, he still felt sorry that the upcoming victory was disturbed by Wang Mujiu.

"Do you still remember how His Majesty explained before leaving?" Wang Mujiu turned his head to look at the soldiers behind him, his gaze left Man Gui, and he glanced at Man Gui with the corner of his eye.

"You ......," Man Gui's forehead sweated, "My Seventh Army is about to defeat the Buyeo people, do you leave the credit to you?" ”

"Full Army, the credit belongs to the Left Route Army of the Northern Expedition, and belongs to His Majesty."

"So what do we need to do?" Man Gui was forced to back down, and the Royal First Army was the main force of the attack.

"Full of troops, would you like to guard the two wings of our army?"

Man Gui's head shook like a rattle, "It's just such a little Buyeo cavalry, and you don't need our guards at all." ”

"That'...... Manchu Army, didn't the Buyeo tribe flee across the river to the north? Will the Manchurians be able to make a detour and cut off their escape route? ”

"Okay, let's make an agreement, you pack up the Buyeo cavalry, and we'll clean up their men." Man Gui didn't wait for Wang Mujiu to respond, he flicked his horse's head and took the lead in running to the left front.

"This Mangui!" Wang Mujiu shook his head and smiled bitterly, "It seems that the people of Fuyu are going to suffer again." ”

Wang Mujiu had already set up a defensive formation, and the soldiers of the Royal First Division were lined up in three rows, each with 3,000 people in each row, flanked by the Royal Second Division on horseback, while the Royal Third Division, as the rear army, followed closely behind the Royal First Division.

However, the Buyeo cavalry only watched them from a distance, and had no intention of attacking, and the two sides were deadlocked on the south bank of the Daling River.

The gunners of the Ming army were all infantry, and in front of the cavalry, they had no ability to attack at all, and Wang Mujiu had no choice.

"How can you provoke the Buyeo people and let them attack?"

"Commander, do you want to send some cavalry over?"

"Cavalry? Yes, it's cavalry, but the number can't be too many, and when the Buyeo people counterattack, they immediately retreat and attract them. ”

A thousand-strong Ming cavalry slowly came out of the ranks, they lined up, raised sabers in their hands, and shouted and pounced on the Buyeo people opposite.

The Buyeo people have been watching coldly, and they don't look like attacking at all, only a thousand cavalry, and they don't pay attention to it at all.

The Ming army approached step by step, and the Buyeo people finally couldn't bear it, and they divided a cavalry of 5,000 people, ready to meet the Ming army with scimitars.

When the cavalry of the Ming army saw that so many cavalry had been dispatched by the rest of the people, they were immediately frightened, and they turned their horses' heads and fled back with a smoke.

The Buyeo cavalry followed the direction of the Ming army's escape and pursued them all the way.

"Da Da Da ......"

Five thousand war horses, carrying the cold wind and water vapor on the south bank of the Daling River, like a rushing torrent, rolled rapidly towards the position of the Ming army.

Nine thousand gunners, almost the entire royal first division, three thousand soldiers per row, there are too many people, they do not stand in a straight line, but in a crescent-shaped arc, the effective range of a hundred paces, just at the focus of this arc, from each soldier, almost equidistant.

Wang Mujiu's Royal First Army, although they had experienced the war with the Duoyan people and besieged the Taining people in Jianchang City, had a little combat experience, but they were still a little afraid in the face of the impact of the 5,000 Buyeo cavalry.

Wang Mujiu personally came to the first row of gunners to supervise the battle.

"Junzao, it's dangerous here, you better go to the rear army to supervise the battle!" Li Jun saw that Wang Mujiu had come to the front line, and hurriedly came over to dissuade him.

"Dangerous?" Wang Mujiu looked directly at Li Jun in front of him.

"The military seat is the soul of the first royal army, and it should be in the safest place, strategizing - staying in the rear army, you can see the whole battlefield more clearly."

"Ao," Wang Mujiu thought about it, if the gentleman does not stand under the dangerous wall, he runs to the front line, Li Jun will definitely find a way to protect himself, but it will affect his battle, "I'll go back in a while, how about the soldiers?" ”

"Rest assured, the military seat is in the position! If I lose ground, I'll see you. ”

"Master Li#," Wang Mujiu accentuated, "I don't want to punish you, if you lose the battle, punishing you can't change the result, Your Majesty often teaches us that we must make careful preparations and not let go of any clues, especially the ideological work of soldiers." ”

"The military seat is relieved, the subordinates understand that the soldiers are ready." Li Jun turned around and asked the soldiers behind him, "Brothers, are you ready?" ”

"Ready!"

"Are you afraid, brethren?"

"Don't be afraid!"

"Can we make the military seat feel at ease in the command of the Hou army?"

"Yes!"

The voices of the soldiers became louder and louder, and Wang Mujiu had to shake his head and smile, "Master Li#, I'll leave it to you here, Your Majesty is watching from behind, my Royal First Army, don't embarrass Your Majesty!" ”

"Don't worry, we will never smear His Majesty and the face of the military seat."

As soon as Wang Mujiu left Li Jun, the Fuyu people approached the position of the Ming army.

"Shizuo, the Buyeo people are already close to the 100-step death line."

Li Jun looked at the Buyeo cavalry, they were lined up in several columns, and they were already close to the range of the flintlock pistols, "There are only a few columns, don't worry." ”

The Buyeo cavalry has increased the speed of the horses to the maximum, not to mention the momentum, the sound of horse hooves alone is terrifying, but the Ming army has already received the baptism of the battlefield, and the gunners clenched their flintlock pistols and silently waited for Li Jun's order.

"Division, the Buyeo people have already entered the firing range."

Li Jun still didn't give an order, there were too few Buyeo cavalry into the firing range, but dozens of people, the gunners of the Ming army, there were three thousand in a row, and all of them shot these dozens of cavalry, which was too wasteful of bullets.

It wasn't until more than 200 cavalrymen entered the 100-step death line, and the cavalry in front was about to approach the center line of 80 paces, that Li Jun gave the order: "Shoot." ”

"Bang."

"Bang."

"Bang."

……

Three thousand rounds of bullets were all fired in an instant, and they rained down on the Buyeo cavalry.

Not only the 200 Buyeo cavalry who entered the range of 100 paces, but also about 200 cavalry 100 paces away, also fell from their horses.

The gunners of the Ming army found that there were too few Buyeo people within 100 paces, so they directly turned their guns to 100 paces away, giving full play to the maximum range of the flintlock pistol.

The wounded soldier who fell from his horse was rolling on the grass, screaming miserably, and uttering syllables that the Ming army could not understand.

These discordant sounds did not last long before they were drowned out by the sound of horses' hooves behind.

The Buyeo people did not stop the pace of attacking, the war horse stepped on the corpse of their companion, accelerated and rushed over, and the wounded soldiers who did not die were sent to their immortal heaven early with the help of the war horse.

The gunners were not idle, and the bullets fired by the gunners in the second row met the Buyeo cavalry who continued to attack, and hundreds of cavalry fell from their horses, and there was a short howl.

There was a strong smell of blood in the air, and the Buyeo cavalry became even more excited as if they had been beaten with duck blood, and they brandished their scimitars one by one, one after another, and launched the most fierce attack on the Ming army.

Li Jun was also a little worried, in the face of death, in the face of rivers of blood, in the face of the charge of the rest of the people, could his soldiers withstand it?

Fortunately, the soldiers could not see the corpse, which had been trampled by the horse's hooves and had long since lost its human form.

Li Jun has been standing with the gunners, and the sound keeps coming out of his mouth, and he doesn't know what he is talking about, he just makes the soldiers feel that the division commander has been fighting on the front line, although he does not have a flintlock pistol in his hand.

"Well played!"

"Go on!"

"Okay, that's it, hit their sharpness hard!"
