Chapter 156: Jebel's Rebirth

Hauge first focused on the Ming army, which had broken through to the south. Because the Ming army came from the south, if you want to retreat to Qiantun, breaking through to the south is of course the first choice. If the prince of the Ming Dynasty is not on the road with the largest number of people, then it is very likely to be on this road.

The Jurchen cavalry got in touch with the rebels first, and in the name of answering here, they actually set a trap. Because the rebels fled north, the Ming army would inevitably catch up.

After the Battle of Quang Ninh, Nurhachi always wanted to repeat his old tricks and lure the Ming army out of the field battle outside Shanhaiguan, which is one of the reasons why he did not continue to go south.

However, after the defeat of the Ming army, it has become a frightened bird, and hundreds of miles of land outside Shanhaiguan have been abandoned, and a turtle has come to the end. In this way, the Houjin army has nothing to do. Because Shanhaiguan is known as "the first Xiongguan in the world", the city is strong and the artillery is heavy, and Nurhachi does not dare to attack the city rashly.

Moreover, Guangning is too far away from Shanhaiguan, four or five hundred miles. After such a long journey, the hinterland must be empty. And Nurhachi still has the three enemies of the Mongolian Han Division, the Khalkha Division, and the Phi Island General Mao Wenlong who have not solved it, and they do not dare to act so rashly.

Therefore, Nurhachi set this strategy and asked Tong Yangzhen to persuade Tong Yanghao to surrender. The two were originally a family, and they both had the temperament of traitors, so they hit it off. After determining that Tong Yanghao would surrender, Nurhachi assigned him a route to flee north, and this ambush had already been set up at that time.

Now that the Ming army has really entered, Hauge is willing to let one person flee south. He deployed more than 1,000 people in the four directions of the battlefield, east, west, north and south, accounting for almost half of the troops with yellow flags. Directly south of them, he ambushed three oxen, hidden behind the hills in advance. As long as the Ming army passed, these three Niu Lu were responsible for cutting off the retreat of the Ming army.

The three Ox Records are now united. Seeing that there were only more than 100 horsemen of the Ming army rushing south, the three Niu Lu were overjoyed, and they all rushed to be the first, all of them wanted to grab the head of the other party's main general and make a meritorious contribution.

Before they could reach their usual range of bows and arrows, an arrow suddenly flew from the ranks of the Ming army and fell from the sky in a wonderful parabola. Niu Lu, who rushed to the front, was really elated, beating his horse like flying, and he never expected that the enemy army would sneak attack with bows and arrows at such a distance. Caught off guard, he was hit by this arrow in the helmet.

The helmets of the Jurchens were made of pig iron, which was unusually hard. But the arrow was so powerful that it pierced the iron helmet and came out from the other side. The cow didn't even snort, and planted the arrow under the horse.

The other two Niu Lu were really shocked, thinking that the distance between them and the Ming army's forward was still a hundred steps away, the so-called "strong crossbow at the end, its potential can not wear Lu Min", after such a distance, the arrow has no power, how can the iron helmet be shot through with an arrow?

But before they could wake up, two sharp arrows followed. Because the arrows fall from the sky in a parabola, and the instinct of people on the battlefield is to look ahead, it is difficult to notice the trajectory of the arrows diagonally upward. When they saw the arrows, it was too late to wave their arms and use their weapons to dial them, so they had to dodge sideways.

One of them, Niu Luzhen, dodged a little slowly, and although the arrow didn't hit his helmet right in the middle, his side hit him right in the right eye. Now he was even worse than the one who had just died, and after the sharp arrow had pierced his head, it flew backwards and nailed it to the head of one of the horsemen who followed him, killing the horse as well.

As soon as the war horses fell, the Jurchen charging formation was in chaos for a while, and the cavalry behind chased too closely, and they had no time to dodge, and they tripped seven or eight horsemen at once, and the people turned on their horses, trampled on each other, and suffered heavy casualties.

Niu Lu Ezhen, who was lucky enough to dodge the sharp arrow, was extremely surprised to see that his generals were gone in an instant, and he was left alone. He has fought with the Banner Lord Emperor Taiji for many years, and has experienced one hundred and eighty small battles, and he has never encountered such a powerful opponent, so he can't help but feel a little frightened in his heart.

As the distance between the two armies quickly narrowed, he gradually saw clearly the Ming generals who were firing arrows on the opposite side. I saw that he was a left-hander with a silver spear on his horse, a bow in his right hand, and a string in his left hand.

It must be known that most ordinary people are right-handed, left-handers account for less than 10%, and left-handers who are good at archery are even more rare. But such shooters are not absent, and the most famous marksman in Mongolian history, Jebe, is left-handed.

Jebe's fame and glorious deeds have been passed down from generation to generation among the nomadic and fishing and hunting peoples in the north, and have long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. At this time, this Niu Lu Zhen saw that the general was also a left-hander, and he was born as white as jade, his spirit was flying, and he kept opening his bow and arrows, and the arrows were not missing, and he had shot down more than ten Jurchen cavalry in a moment, just like the legendary Jebel, and he was even more frightened, thinking that Jebe was reborn!

Just when he was slightly stunned, he came to beat the horse like a fly, and he had already bullied him in front of his horse. I saw him put away his bow and gun and shouted: "Eat me a shot!" Then he stabbed at the cow and Lu Zhen.

Niu Lu really didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly raised his knife to parry. But when the tip of the spear was still a few feet away from him, he paused vividly, and a cold light suddenly flashed on the barrel of the gun.

That Niu Lu really felt a flower in front of his eyes, and his throat was cold, and he was pierced by a sharp arrow through his neck and died!

This general is He Kegang, the general under Zu Dashou. Like Zu Dashou, he was born in the Li family in Liaodong, and he is only twenty-one or twelve years old this year. Because in the past, the Ming army had always been mainly defending the city, and if it couldn't hold it, it would break back and flee.

was trapped and broke through today, and he finally had to stand alone, even if he had the ability to watch the house. It turned out that the children of the Li family practiced martial arts, and they did not pay great attention to one move and one style like other factions in the Central Plains, but were very close to actual combat. Moreover, the head of the family will make each person practice different martial arts according to their talent endowment.

This He Kegang was born left-handed, and he is both powerful and quiet, and has the qualities of a marksman. After more than ten years of hard training, he has become the first shooter of the Li family, not only in the Ming army, but also an ordinary Jurchen general, and by no means his opponent.

And his weapon is also ingenious, it looks like an ordinary spear, but in fact it also has a crossbow machine attached to it. At this time, he lightly squeezed the machine, and the short crossbow on the gun shot out, and the Niu Lu really didn't understand what was going on, and had become a ghost under his crossbow.

He Kegang showed his might and shot three Niu Lu Ezhen, and this Ming army and the Jurchen cavalry also collided head-on.

But the Jurchens once boasted to themselves: If the number of people does not break 10,000, and if it breaks 10,000, the world is invincible. Although there is an element of exaggeration, it is not entirely unfounded. The reason why Nurhachi adopted the Niu Lu to build the army was because the Lord of Niu Lu had a supreme position among his subordinates, even similar to the relationship between the slave owner and the slave. As long as Niu Lu said a word, the subordinates would die generously, and they would not even frown.

At this time, when these Jurchen cavalry saw that the main general was killed in battle, not only did they disperse in a hurry as the Ming army was customary, but everyone was red-eyed and rushed towards He Kegang and his subordinates with their lives. And they no longer use the usual tactics, but don't dodge at all, and go straight to the Ming army's mount, obviously trying to fight to the end.

Although He Kegang is brave and good at fighting, after all, the number of subordinates is too small. And the rest of the Ming army did not have his ability, although everyone fought to the death, the combat effectiveness was still slightly inferior to that of the Jurchens. In a short time, less than half of the more than 100 Ming troops remained, and under the leadership of He Kegang, they retreated south through the enemy formation.

Although the Jurchen cavalry lost more than 100 horsemen, and all three Niu Lu Ezhen were killed, it was already an astonishing loss. But they still had more than 900 horsemen, and at this time they were crying and chasing south, desperately biting the tail of the Ming army, refusing to relax.

Hauge watched the battle from a distance in the north, and he didn't really see it very well. He didn't know that the three Niu Lu Ezhen had been killed in battle, and he could only see the Ming army breaking through the encirclement, and the Jurchen cavalry was closely chasing behind.

He couldn't help but shake his head again and again, thinking that these three Niu Lu had fought so badly that they couldn't eat this Ming army in one bite, and they had to chase after them with great effort. When this battle is over, when he goes back to report to Amma, he will definitely tell these Niu Lu the truth, remove them from their posts, and let their cronies take over their Niu Lu.

However, seeing more than 900 people chasing dozens of people, Haoge thought that it would be absolutely difficult for the other party to escape, and he could be regarded as relieved.

When he watched the battle in the northeast direction, he was shocked and angry, and shouted: "How did Tong Tulai do this waste, the whole army was defeated!" ”

It turned out that Wu Sangui clashed with Tong Tulai and beheaded him with just one move, which greatly shocked the traitor army that surrendered to the rear army.

And Wu Sangui didn't stop, raised the big knife and shouted: "Kill!" Then he led dozens of his horsemen to break into the enemy's ranks.

These traitor armies were also the same as the rebels before them, most of the horses were confiscated by Allah, and they were basically all infantry. Therefore, although the number of people exceeded that of the Ming army by dozens of times, it could not stop the rampage of Wu Sangui's department at all.

At this time, Zhu Youzhen also went out and rushed to kill with Wu Sangui, which was also the first time he really fought in front of the battle. In the past few days, his military career has greatly improved his riding skills. Although it is still far from "the unity of people and horses", it can barely be controlled.

Although he has no blade in his hand, he can control his horse and directly ram the enemy infantry. This is just like in the computer game "Red Alert" he played in his previous life, where he used tanks to crush the infantry, the enemy flew next to each other, and he died when he touched it, but in three or five minutes, he actually killed six or seven traitors, and he was so excited that he shouted wildly!

And the dozens of cavalry Ming troops were very tacitly protected in the left, right, and rear directions of Zhu Youzhen, so that the enemy could not launch a sneak attack on him.

Tong Tulai's subordinates were originally greedy for life and afraid of death, but at this time, seeing that the main general had already moved his head, and the Ming army was so brave, who would be willing to die here in vain. Therefore, after only a little resistance, the whole army broke up, threw away its armor, and fled backwards with all its might.

Hauge was furious when he saw this, turned his horse, and chased in this direction himself. And the 200 cavalry under his command are all the elite of the elite in the yellow flag, and they all gallop with the commander.

Zhu Youzhen was so strong that he kept riding his horse to drive away the enemy army, but Wu Sangui anxiously stopped him and said, "Your Highness, don't fall in love with war, go quickly!" The Jurchen white-armored soldiers have caught up! ”
