Chapter 217: Jiannu counterattacks
Aobai's stop delayed the cavalry of the Tiger Ben Army for about an hour, and Huang Taiji's troops should have retreated more than ten miles away. Huang Taiji's two yellow banners also have infantry, and the speed of retreat can't be too fast, and the cavalry pursuit can definitely catch up.
For the sake of insurance, Le Yichuan still asked Yang Tingjian through the walkie-talkie, and Yang Tingjian's reply to Le Yichuan was, "It is advisable to chase the poor with the remaining bravery, and not to sell the name of the overlord." ”
Yang Tingjian's meaning is very clear, then keep chasing Jiannu's butt and beating, it is best to force them close to Yingzhou City, as long as Huang Taiji enters Yingzhou City, it will be self-defeating. Yang Tingjian's artillery would tell them what the god of war was.
In the first formation, Huang Taiji and Yang Tingjian fought wits and courage, Huang Taiji's decision-making was remarkable, if Yang Tingjian led the ordinary army of the Ming Dynasty, he would definitely not be able to please Huang Taiji.
But Yang Tingjian used all some strategic materials that were poured from later generations, such as Shenwei muskets and artillery, and the army under Huang Taiji, under the perverted firepower of the Tiger Ben Army, was directly a one-sided slaughter, which was the end of being crushed in the face of absolute strength.
Huang Taiji retreated, while sending cavalry to vigorously gather the scattered troops, and at the same time rectify the order of the troops, Jiannu's two yellow flags are really good, although it is a rout, but it is still not a rush to escape, but now try to get closer to the Chinese army commander's banner, Huang Taiji's Chinese army in the retreat, and gradually restore the system.
When Huang Taiji retreated to five miles away from Yingzhou, a scout of Jiannu Pegasus came to report:
"Your Majesty, the cavalry of the Ming army has caught up."
"What about the worshippers?"
"They're chasing Lord Aobai."
"How much is left?"
"Less than a hundred."
"How far is this place from the Ming army camp?"
"Thirty-five miles."
"How far away is the Ming infantry phalanx from here."
"Fifteen miles."
After Huang Taiji asked the scout, he suddenly shouted: "It's a good time, the whole army turned on the spot and covered up against the Ming Dog." ”
Huang Taiji didn't run away this time. Instead, he immediately organized his own troops to fight back, why is Huang Taiji so bold, hasn't he been subdued yet? Huang Taiji was afraid of the muskets of the Tiger Army, and the cavalry of the Tiger Army was also strong with plate armor, but there were many ways to kill the opponent in a cavalry duel. You don't have to use a knife to cut people, this galloping war horse can also kill the other party.
Huang Taiji's two yellow banners have nearly 20,000 cavalry, just now lost some, and there are also scattered, now Huang Taiji has more than 14,000 cavalry in his hands, Huang Taiji has so many cavalry, there are still more than 8,000 cavalry pursued by the Tiger Ben Army.
It's just that Huang Taiji has already set a time limit for this counterattack in his heart, an hour later. Regardless of the victory or defeat, it is necessary to retreat, otherwise the infantry phalanx of those bright dogs will pursue again.
Huang Taiji is a qualified commander, a very good tactical commander, the Ming Dynasty encountered such a jackal leader, the price paid will be very heavy, history has told us the result.
Le Yichuan led more than 8,000 cavalry to chase wildly, and caught up with Huang Taiji's army five miles away from Yingzhou. Le Yichuan and Gelong immediately attacked, and Le Yichuan had more than 8,000 cavalry in his hands. But more than 3,000 five-eyed guns had already been used in the fight against the Aobai army, and there were still about 1,000 eye-eyed guns with ammunition in them.
The Five-Eyed Gun is powerful and has good shooting continuity, but it also has a significant disadvantage, that is, it is very troublesome to reload, and it is not possible to reload while running on a galloping warhorse. The Han cavalry under Le Yichuan did not have this ability. Maybe the Mongolian cavalry could, but Yang Tingjian refused to equip Gelong's Mongolian cavalry with five-eyed guns, and Yang Tingjian didn't say why.
Huang Taiji still had 25,000 people in his hands, including 15,000 cavalry, in fact, Huang Taiji's losses in the battle just now were not large. He was completely frightened by the endless muskets and artillery of the Tiger Army.
Previously, Huang Taiji was reluctant to let his warriors die in front of the muskets and artillery of the Tiger Ben Army, but now there has been a new change in the war situation, and the pursuers of the Tiger Ben Army have broken away from their infantry phalanx for at least fifteen miles, this is Huang Taiji's opportunity!
Whether this is to continue to retreat or to counterattack is a great test of the commander's war talent, and it is not something that half of the irrigation commanders can grasp.
Huang Taiji's decision was to immediately put all the cavalry into a counterattack, and the infantry immediately lined up to defend the cavalry charge in a dense formation. The little turtle emperor Taiji is really good, decisive in trouble, and his tactical attainments are relatively high, why do you say that?
Huang Taiji's counterattack is nothing more than three results, the first is to defeat the Tiger Army, the second is to fight with the Tiger Army, and the third is the defeat of Huang Taiji, no matter what the situation is, the Huang Taiji who is all cavalry can retreat calmly, and five miles away is Yingzhou, so Huang Taiji's counterattack is a hundred benefits and no sea.
Is that really the case? Anyway, Huang Taiji thought so, in fact, Yang Tingjian was really waiting for Huang Taiji to retreat back to Yingzhou and hold on! As for whether Huang Taiji will follow Yang Tingjian's line of thought, no one knows. But the final direction of the war is not the same as Yang Tingjian envisioned? Only God knows.
Ao Bai fled back very wolfly, the two layers of heavy armor on his body have been shattered, and there are blood stains formed by splashing everywhere, of course, there is also his own, just now in the blocking battle, Ao Bai personally hacked to death seven or eight tiger cavalry, but these Ming army's endless five-eyed guns, also harvested more than a thousand cavalry under his command, these Ming troops are too shameless, Lao Yuan began to bombard with five-eyed guns, Aobai's elite cavalry, more than half of them were killed by five-eyed guns, so Ao Bai is not convinced!
Ao Bai found Huang Taiji and cried:
"The slave knocked on the emperor, and all the sons and daughters of the slave were killed by the fire of the Ming dog,...... Whining...... These dogs are so despicable...... Please ask the emperor to give thousands of minions...... The minions want to avenge their subordinates. ”
Huang Taiji is planning to fight back at this time, and now is not the time to punish the loss of soldiers, and besides, today's battle, or he, the emperor, has the greatest responsibility, Huang Taiji is still a responsible person, and will not push the responsibility to his subordinates.
"Aobai, I forgive you for your innocence, I will now hand over 3,000 guards to you, as the vanguard of the whole army, and kill the Ming dog in pursuit."
Ao Bai is the most loyal to Huang Taiji, and he is also the most brave general under Huang Taiji, the power of the musket and artillery of the Tiger Army, Huang Taiji has also seen, in the brave Jianzhou warriors, they were shot by those Ming soldiers before they got close, and this battle was really fought.
Ao Bai listened to Huang Taiji's order, and immediately kept kowtowing on the ground:
"The emperor's grace, Ao Bai will never forget, Ao Bai swears here, in this life and this life, he will always be loyal to His Majesty, and he will always be loyal to His Majesty's descendants, and the immortal sky is proof."
"I know, I'm waiting for the news of your victory."
The military situation was like fire, and Ao Bai was not verbose, and then stepped on the war horse and galloped away with Huang Taiji's three thousand personal guards, and Huang Taiji's handsome flag was left with half of the civil officials and dozens of guards, some of these civil officials were Han Chinese, and some were Manchurian. And the infantry also began to line up quickly around the banner.
