Chapter 256: The Jurchen Eight Banners Withdraw from the Stage of History

The cavalry faced each other head-to-head, and there was only one round of the battle, either kill or be killed, and if both sides were lucky not to fall off their horses, and the horses rushed over, the two sides could not fight again.

The battle will continue, but both sides will change opponents.

Ge Si'er didn't care about killing the enemy, according to Man Gui's instructions, he mainly cut up the Jurchen cavalry, his cavalry, like the sharpest long arrow, fiercely stabbed at the middle of the Jurchen cavalry, he went to the Zhenghong Banner beside Dai Shan.

"Big Baylor, the Ming army is rushing over!"

Dai Shan can't dodge, if he dodges, the Ming army will inevitably divide his cavalry into two, and it is very likely to divide and surround it.

But Ges'er had too many cavalry, and Ges'er personally served as the spearhead, and the Jurchen cavalry in front of him was rushed to pieces for a while, and he was forced to dodge to both sides.

Ges'er's cavalry is an arrow-shaped charge, the arrows in front are small and sharp, as long as a small opening is torn, the Ming army behind will cut the Jurchen cavalry on both sides.

Both sides were charging, and the Jurchen cavalry was finally pierced by Gus'er's spearhead from the middle while advancing.

There were too many cavalry of the Ming army, the front had already penetrated the Jurchen cavalry, and the rear had not yet been engaged.

When the cavalry at the rear of the Ming army began to engage in battle, the front of the Ming army had already turned its horse's head and rolled back, and the rear of the Jurchen soldiers was forced to turn around and engage in battle.

The front of the Jurchen cavalry, in order to maintain contact with the rear, they had to stop advancing.

As soon as the cavalry stopped, the advantage in speed was gone, and the Jurchen cavalry was surrounded by the Ming army, not in a circle, but in two, and Ge Si'er had already cut the Jurchen cavalry in half.

Dabeile Daishan, angry, if it is a simple cavalry battle, the Jurchens are called second, no one dares to call the first, even the Mongols can't, although the Ming army occupies the advantage in numbers, Daishan is not nervous at all, he has been looking forward to such a battle for a long time.

He personally went into battle, and in less than two rounds, the Ming soldiers who were fighting against him were cut off their horses.

The Ming army didn't care whether to kill the other party for the time being, their tactics were very clear, that is, to take advantage of the huge advantage in numbers, constantly cutting, dividing the Jurchen cavalry into pieces of dried tofu, and then annihilating them one by one.

"Da Da Da ......"

The cavalry of the Fourth Army, who had been chasing after Dai Shan's ass, had already killed them.

Man Gui raised his eyes and found that it was the cavalry of the Ming army, and he shouted in a loud voice: "You are not real cavalry, don't join the war group." ”

It is true that they are not cavalry, they are just infantry on horseback, and most of the time, they are only to deter their opponents, and most of their soldiers, they do not shoot arrows on galloping horses.

This cavalry saw that the two sides had been slaughtered, and the Ming army, relying on the superiority of numbers, had already divided and surrounded the Jurchen cavalry, and it was only a matter of time before they were victorious. They reined in their horses and circled in all directions, and if a Jurchen soldier slipped through the net, they would shoot a few arrows.

"Big Baylor, we're already surrounded by divisions, what should we do?"

Dai Shan stopped the scimitar in his hand and looked around, blood was flying, and the stumps were rolling, at this time, it was no longer possible to distinguish which side the blood and the stumps belonged to.

The Ming army has divided his soldiers into more than ten fast, each piece of soldiers, is facing several times the Ming army, in a short time he watched, there is a small piece of only a dozen people, was pierced by the Ming army from the middle again, divided into two, these more than a dozen soldiers, in the blink of an eye, has been completely annihilated by the Ming army.

The small pieces that were divided increased in number, but then they were decreasing - they were annihilated by the Ming army.

On the periphery, there are still thousands of Ming troops watching the battle, and they will join the battle group at any time if needed.

Dai Shan's hands and feet were cold, and when he slashed and killed the Ming army just now, those boiling blood seemed to freeze in an instant.

His soldiers, since the morning, have been repeatedly attacked by the Ming army, and have been galloping wildly, and the bodies of men and horses are almost at their limit.

If he doesn't break out of the encirclement of the Ming army now, after a while, his cavalry may not even have the body to rush out.

"Big Baylor, what should I do?"

Dai Shan knew that this was the last chance, and he absolutely couldn't hesitate any longer, "Don't fall in love, break through separately, and be sure to leave some seeds for Zhenghongqi." ”

Dai Shan pounced on the Ming army in front of him again, and this time, he made up his mind and kept going east until he broke out of the Ming army's encirclement.

There are really too many Ming troops, Dai Shan can't remember clearly, how many Ming troops he has cut down, but the Ming army in front of him does not seem to have decreased, and the personal soldiers around him are getting fewer and fewer, and now there are less than 100 horsemen.

When he was resting just now, Dai Shan felt that his arm began to be sore, but after joining the battlefield, he had forgotten the sour numbness, and his body had forgotten his fatigue.

But one of his own soldiers was also cut down by three Ming soldiers who surrounded him.

One for one, the Jurchens can't afford it.

Dai Shan stopped slashing, he looked up to the sky and sighed: "Could it be that Changsheng Tian really wants to destroy my red flag?" ”

"Big Baylor, the Ming army has squeezed over, and the brothers are almost all injured."

Dai Shan looked at the dozens of soldiers around him, and then looked at the countless Ming cavalry on the periphery, his eyes were full of helplessness, helplessness after despair.

"Surrender! After surrendering, you can also leave some seeds for Zhenghongqi! ”

"Da Baylor, the Eight Banners of the Dajin Kingdom, has never surrendered!"

"Order, put down the scimitar, all surrender!" As if he hadn't heard, Dai Shan hesitated for a while, and then added: "All the guilt is borne by me alone." ”

The battlefield fell silent for a moment, and the soldiers on both sides who had just killed with red faces and bloodshot eyes were quietly looking at their opponents.

The difference is that the saber of the Ming army is still in the hand, while the scimitar of the Jurchen people is scattered on the ground; The Ming army was still sitting on horses, while the Jurchen soldiers all knelt on the ground.

There is a difference between looking down and looking up.

Man Gui, like Dai Shan, was also annoyed, he could have completely annihilated these Jurchen cavalry and ended the last cavalry of the Jurchen Eight Banners, but damn Dai Shan, he surrendered to the Ming army at the last moment.

Man Gui hasn't killed enough, he's too upset.

"Bundle them all!"

Man Gui roared, making the Ming army sober up, the other party had already surrendered and surrendered unconditionally.

Dai Shan didn't kneel, but he couldn't bear to look at his soldiers and his brothers, who were tied hand and foot by the Ming army rope one by one, he slowly closed his eyes, and two lines of clear tears flowed from his eye sockets to his cheeks, and then broke the thread from his cheeks, and fell silently on the grass.

"Why?"

"What's wrong with Dajin Kingdom?"

"What's wrong with the Ming Army?"

He has never had an answer, and he doesn't need an answer anymore.

Dai Shan took out a short knife from his knee, the short knife was cold, obviously a sharp weapon, he hid the short knife in the palm of his left hand, looked at it carefully for a while, and then looked up at Changshengtian, I don't know what to say, suddenly held the knife in his right hand, and slashed hard.

"Poof...... When the ...... is long"

A cavity of warm blood spurted out of his throat, and the short knife held in his right hand was also washed to the ground by the blood arrow.

Dai Shan's body, as if he had been convulsed, slowly collapsed and fell silently on the grass.

"Damn Daizen!" Man Gui scolded in a low voice, turned around and ordered the soldiers to replenish knives for all the Jurchen wounded soldiers on the ground.

Man Guidu arranged for the soldiers to clean up the battlefield, but when he saw the casualties of the Ming army, he was angry, and among the Jurchen soldiers who were tied up just now, all those who were injured, regardless of the severity of the injuries, were all beheaded.

Of the Jurchen soldiers captured by the Ming army, there were no injuries at all, only one thousand and twenty-two.

This cavalry duel between the Hunhe River and the Taizi River drew an end to the Jurchen Eight Banners, and with the fall of the Zhenghong Banner and the Inlaid Red Flag, the Jurchen Eight Banners officially withdrew from the historical stage.

In this Northern Expedition of the Ming Dynasty, the left, center and right armies have all achieved brilliant results.

The Right Route Army was Wei Xin's North Sea Fleet, and they relied on three marine divisions to not only meet Yuan Chonghuan's army to cross the Sancha River, but also completely annihilated the blue flag of Ji'er Harang in the ensuing siege and annihilation battle, and cleared all Jiannu on the border between the Ming Dynasty and Chao # Xian;

The Left Route Army, which Zhu Youzhen personally commanded, in addition to annihilating the three divisions of Duoyan and conquering Shengjing, the capital of the Dajin Kingdom, also successively annihilated the Yellow Banner of Huang Taiji and the Yellow Banner of Haoge, and finally the Seventh Army of Man Gui annihilated the remnants of the Red Banner and the Red Banner Alliance of Daishan and his sons;

The Central Route Army, under the command of Yuan Chonghuan, recovered the most land, and they fought from Xiping Fort to Liaoyang, first annihilating Dolgon's white flag, then Duoduo's white flag, Azig's blue flag, and severely damaged the Zhenghongqi and the red-flag-inlaid coalition forces on the banks of the Taizi River.

The fall of the Jurchen Eight Banners all marked that the Ming Dynasty had fully recovered all the land south of the Great Wall of Liaodong, the fall of Shengjing and the suicide of Huang Taiji were the symbols of the official destruction of the Dajin Kingdom, since the forty-fourth year of Wanli (1616 AD), the "Jiannu" that had been pressed on the head of the Ming Dynasty finally died.

The destruction of the Dajin Kingdom is the first step for Zhu Youzhen to revitalize the Ming Dynasty, and it is also the foundation for Zhu Youzhen to revitalize the gate.

On June 15, the second year of Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty (1629 AD), Zhu Youzhen, who was full of ambition, returned to Shengjing from the Tieling front, and the first thing he did was to change Shengjing back to its original name - Shenyang.

Subsequently, he issued a convening order to the generals who were chasing down the remnants of the Jurchen cavalry in various places, ordering them to gather in Shenyang to discuss the complete annihilation and co-optation of the Jurchens.

The Jurchens no longer have the strength to fully confront the Ming Dynasty, and Zhu Youzhen has already targeted their lair.

All they left was the area on the edge of Changbai Mountain, which was the earliest fief given to them by the Ming Dynasty, and where Xingjing, the capital of Nurhachi's first army, was originally called Hetuala.
