Chapter 831: Fire Retreats from the Enemy's Cavalry

readx; Seeing that they could not stop the frontal impact of the Ming cavalry, the Houjin army retreated to the next best thing, wanting to cut off the more than 10,000 Ming infantry who fell behind. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info This is also the specialty of the Houjin army, thinking that Nurhachi became famous in the battle of Sarhu, it was the use of the excellent mobility of the cavalry, continuous encirclement and annihilation of the Ming army, mainly infantry, with 60,000 to break the Ming army of 140,000, only to open the situation in Liaodong at once.

Originally, Zhu Youzhen arranged a large triangular formation, and the infantry was protected in the middle of the large array, so he had not been impacted much before. But now that the frontal enemy has given way to the road, the speed of the cavalry's advance has increased sharply, especially the border troops on both wings, who finally hope that the enemy will give way, and are even more anxious to break through, so they can't take care of the infantry that should have been protected by them, and the two wings of the infantry are suddenly exposed in front of the Houjin army.

Huang Taiji was annoyed by the forced change of formation, and at this time he poured all his anger on the infantry of the Ming army. He personally led the most elite white-armored soldiers to smash into the Ming army's formation, and the other Houjin troops saw the Great Khan charging in person, and their morale was also greatly boosted, and they let out a beast-like howl from their mouths, and rushed towards the Ming infantry like a fierce god.

Of course, the more than 10,000 Ming infantry also knew very well that whether they lived or died in this battle. Although they are usually afraid of the enemy like tigers, tonight, under the strong desire to survive and the encouragement of the emperor himself to lead the army to rescue, they also completely burst out of the energy in their bodies, and rushed forward with their legs playfully.

Of course, no matter how much the infantry runs in the field, it is impossible to outrun a four-legged war horse; No matter how much you fight to the death, you can't be the opponent of the galloping cavalry. In the face of the Ming army, which lacked cavalry protection, the Houjin army was too lazy to release arrows, and they raised their sabers one by one, intending to use this most direct, bloody, and painful method to smash, trample, slash and ravage their opponents until each of them shed their last drop of blood!

However, when the Houjin army rushed to less than thirty paces from the Ming army's flanks, they suddenly found that these infantry were all holding torches in both hands. In fact, in terms of military operations such as night breakouts, the more concealed the better, and it stands to reason that torches should not be held. But the Ming army not only held torches in each hand, but also held one in each hand. In other words, these infantry had no weapons other than torches!

Of course, the Houjin army was puzzled, thinking that if he went to the battlefield without taking a weapon, wouldn't that be a death? However, since the Ming army wanted to give a big gift, there was no reason not to accept it in full, so he didn't think much about it and continued to rush his horse.

However, just as the two sides were about to make contact, the Ming army suddenly threw the torch to the ground. In an instant, the entire area where the Ming army was located suddenly turned into a sea of fire!

This is naturally a big surprise for the Jin army, and I wonder if the Ming army knows that it is inevitable, so it wants to raise fire**?

But with the firelight, all the horses of the Eight Banners cavalry quickly stopped. It's natural for animals to be afraid of fire, and war horses are no exception. They can roam the bloody battlefield with mountains of corpses, knowing that this is a fight between humans and has nothing to do with them. But they have an instinctive fear of the blazing flames.

Because they are all from the prairie, the terrifying scene of the grassland being struck by lightning and causing a fire, burning the prairie and devouring all living things, has been deeply implanted in the memory of their ancestors and inherited. Now seeing that there was a sea of fire ahead, the horses, of course, refused to die, even though their masters beat desperately, they still stopped.

And the Ming army took advantage of this opportunity to pass through a sea of fire and break through the encirclement of the Houjin army. Even Man Gui's 3,000 cavalry after the break all lost their armor and abandoned their horses on foot, and galloped through this dead area.

The meat to the mouth flew like this, making Huang Taiji angry and screaming! He originally had a calm personality, the city was very deep, and his mood was invisible; However, tonight was frustrated continuously, and he was angry and angry, and he was forcibly charging and chasing under his command with all his might, and suddenly felt a little warm on his upper lip. When I touched it with my hand, it was full of red blood!

"Master, you have a nosebleed!" Sonny, his personal guard general, shouted in horror.

"What's the matter with a nosebleed..."Huang Taiji has followed Nurhachi to the east and west since he was a child, and he has been scarred on his body, and he has also experienced serious injuries and blood, of course, he will not take a nosebleed to heart, so he wipes it with his hands at will.

But I didn't expect the nosebleed to rub more and more, and it couldn't be stopped at all, and then it flowed all over the chest, which was very terrifying! Due to excessive blood loss, Huang Taiji felt a wave of dizziness in his brain, and his body was crooked, and he actually fell off the horse. Fortunately, Sonny's eyes were quick and he flew off the horse to catch Huang Taiji, but at this time Huang Taiji had fallen into a semi-comatose state.

"Master!" Sony called out several times, but Huang Taiji was still not very conscious. Sonny was like a mourner, and cried bitterly, "Khan fainted! ”

His crying made the Houjin army even more demoralized. Some of the people who were far away didn't know what was going on, and they thought that Huang Taiji had been killed, and they all cried loudly, and the cry shook the sky for a while!

Huang Taiji was awakened by the cry, and couldn't help but sigh, knowing that this time the blocking battle ended in failure.

But he is also an extremely tenacious person, and he will never admit defeat easily, so he suddenly pushed Sony away, reluctantly got up and shouted: "Ben Khan is unharmed, what are you crying about?" Now that the enemy has not fled far, why don't you chase me quickly! ”

"But... But those black guys of the Han are very powerful,..." Sonny muttered.

"Afraid of what?" Huang Taiji said angrily, "Although that thing is powerful, it is one less to throw one, and then attack it after the Han people have all thrown it?" Let the Han army flag go first, Ben Khan doesn't believe that they have such a small number of troops, not to mention the sudden rush in from Jinzhou, they can still stand out from under Ben Khan's nose! Also, did Azig come back? Mang Gurtai, this bastard thing, usually boasts about how brave and good at fighting, how can he put Han reinforcements in this time, and our side is fighting so much, he still doesn't move?! ”

Under the roar of Huang Taiji, the Houjin army was a little more stable, and hurriedly waved the army to cover up and kill behind. Only then did they realize that the wilderness, which had been a sea of fire just now, had been completely extinguished at this time, and only the choking smell of smoke still permeated the sky over the battlefield.

took a closer look, but couldn't help but be angry. It turned out that the infantry of the Ming army each carried a large burden, which was filled with forage. This forage was originally used as fodder for war horses, but tonight it was put to special use. The Ming army threw these burdens on the ground and then ignited them with torches, which, from a distance, of course, were in flames; In fact, it was thousands of burdens that caught fire, and there were still gaps in the fire for people to pass. When the fodder in the burden is burned, the fire is naturally extinguished, and only some unburned residues remain.

Huang Taiji figured out the reason, and a feeling of being played as a monkey arose, only to feel a stuffiness in his chest, a sweet throat, a big mouth, even a mouth and nose, and blood spurted wildly again!
