Chapter 1077: Desperate Pursuit
readx; The general of the Ming army riding a tall horse actually stepped forward to call for battle, which was much more than Haoge expected. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Because of this kind of confrontation between the two armies, the military generals will face off first, probably only exists in the works, and it is impossible to appear on the real battlefield. The military general is the commander on the battlefield, and his main role is to command the battle.
So Hauge, of course, dismisses the general's provocations. But the dozen or so horses on the opposite side made him too excited, as a general who commanded the army all the year round, he naturally read countless horses, such a good horse in the Eight Banners is definitely the best, not only for the battle, but also to show off to other nobles, to highlight his "eldest son" identity is very helpful.
And Hauge is also a very sinister person, he thought to himself that if he could kill the main general of the Ming army by surprise, then there would be no suspense in this battle. Therefore, he whispered to Shuo Erhui, the general with the blue flag beside him: "You go up with a dozen people, ignore what he says, and release arrows to this king when you see the opportunity." Remember, you can only shoot people, not horses, and the whole body is black, this king wants to dedicate it to the emperor! ”
Shuo Erhui immediately led the order to lead fifteen cavalry to meet him. All of them were dressed in heavy armor, and hung sabers and horn bows on rings of birds' wings to show that they had no intention of fighting; But with his left hand behind his back, he secretly pulled out an iron arrow from the quiver, and was about to walk very close to the Ming army and the other party had no time to dodge, and suddenly opened his bow and released the arrow.
The other party was only a hundred paces away, and Shuo Erhui could see very clearly, except for melee weapons such as spears and broadswords, they did not carry bird guns. This also reassured him a lot, thinking that as long as there was no bird gun, even if the other party also attacked with a bow and arrow, the heavy armor on his body would be enough to resist. However, the armor of the Ming army was only leather armor, and the general did not even wear leather armor, as long as an arrow was shot, it would kill him.
As Shuo Erhui and other Qing troops slowly advanced, the distance between the two sides was gradually narrowing. Eighty steps, sixty steps, fifty steps, thirty steps... Seeing the dozen or so Ming soldiers sitting on their horses and standing still, Shuo Erhui couldn't help but feel secretly proud, thinking that you should sit firmly and don't move, as long as you walk within twenty steps, I will raise my hand is an arrow, if you have anything to say, go to the underworld and say it!
As soon as he walked twenty-five steps, Shuo Erhui suddenly saw all the Ming soldiers raise their right arms suddenly. Although he didn't have time to see what was in the hands of the Ming army, he also knew that it was not good, so he immediately helped the bow in his hand and set up arrows to prepare to fire.
But it's too late, no matter how fast he moves, he still has to take off the bow, set up the arrow, and pull the string. Hearing a burst of gunfire on the opposite side, Shuo Erhui instinctively leaned down, and with a "bang", his helmet had been shattered by lead bullets. Despite the helmet, the kinetic energy of the lead bullet impact was still very large, and it immediately knocked Shuo Erhui unconscious, turned over and fell off the horse!
This has to be regarded as Shuo Erhui's quick reaction, and the more than ten cavalry around him are not so lucky. It turned out that the Ming army used all flintlock handcuffs, although the range of this firearm was very close, only about thirty paces, and it could not catch up with the bow and arrow; However, it is small in size, light in weight, high in precision and flexible in use, and is very suitable for close combat. Especially with flintlock firing, as long as the ammunition is loaded, the first shot is almost indistinguishable from modern pistols. The Ming army was ready to attack early, and they rushed to move before the Qing soldiers, how could the Qing soldiers have time to dodge? A row of lead bullets swept by, and more than a dozen Qing soldiers were all shot, and four or five were directly hit in the face and shot in the head on the spot!
When the general of the Ming army saw that he had succeeded in the first blow, he immediately looked up to the sky and smiled: "Dog Tartar, it's really stupider than a pig!" What do people and dogs have to say? Even if you say it, it's for you to eat, hahahaha! ”
This can make Haoge who was watching the battle in the back angry, he originally wanted to Yin Ming Army, but he didn't expect to be yin! Now there is really nothing to hesitate about, Hauge immediately waved his knife and roared, "Manchurian warriors, rush me!" ”
At the sound of an order, the 15,000 troops inlaid with the blue flag immediately launched a full-scale charge, the front was as wide as two miles, the sound of killing shook the sky, the sound of hooves shook the ground, and it was really unstoppable.
The Ming army did not say a word, and immediately turned their horses and retreated. Although the Ming general was only more than 100 steps away from the Qing army, the horse under the seat spread its four hooves, which was really as fast as a meteor and as fast as lightning, and the distance was stretched to more than 200 steps in a blink of an eye. At such a distance, the Qing army could not reach it even if they opened their bows and arrows.
Haoge didn't expect that the Ming army would take a look and only wound more than ten Qing soldiers and flee, but he would never let the Ming army escape. After entering the customs for so many days, this was the first time he had encountered a Ming army of thousands of people in the field, and it was a good time to annihilate the enemy. Moreover, the nearby terrain is a flat river, and the 15,000 troops with the blue flag act collectively, and they are not worried about any ambush of the Ming army at all. As for Baoding Mansion, Haoge originally did not plan to forcibly attack the city, but now he doesn't care about it, as long as he annihilates this Ming army.
After chasing more than 20 miles to the west, seeing that the speed of the Ming army's escape in front had slowed down, as long as he chased a few more miles, he could almost catch up. Hauge was urging his men to chase after him, but he saw that the terrain began to change, and the plains had come to an end, and gently undulating hills and several dry rivers were gradually appearing.
Hauge was alarmed, immediately slowed down his horse, called over a Han general, and asked, "What kind of place is this?" ”
This general's name is Chen Yonglai, who belongs to the Han army with a blue flag, and is also an eagle dog who is desperate for the Manchu Qing Dynasty. He immediately smiled and said, "Master, this is already in Yi County, and the county seat of Yi County is ten miles ahead. ”
Haoge thought about it and smiled: "It's okay, this king will directly knock down Yi County!" ”
After chasing forward for a while, he saw a small city, but the Ming army did not even dare to enter the city, because the city gate was too narrow to allow all three thousand cavalry to enter the city in a short time. The Ming general had to lead his troops around the city, and it could be seen that the physical strength of the Ming army's war horses was close to the limit, in order not to be caught up by the Qing army, the Ming army had to throw away their leather armor, dry food, and some even threw away weapons.
The Qing army was a group of robbers, and when they saw how their property was not greedy, the forward troops began to pick up the spoils of war, and the formation was inevitably chaotic. Hauge didn't look down on these things, and his only goal was to completely annihilate the Ming army. So he immediately ordered his men not to delay, and also not to enter the city, and continued to pursue vigorously.
However, after such a short delay, the Ming army took the opportunity to widen the distance between it and the Qing army. Haoge is not in a hurry, because the war horses of the Qing army are all Mongolian horses, and they are the best at long-distance running, even if they run for two or three days, it doesn't matter.
At this time, the terrain is getting higher and higher, and the road is getting narrower. After a short time, two rivers appeared on both sides of the road, sandwiching the Qing army in the middle, but the rivers had dried up. Hauge couldn't help but wonder: "It's strange, it's raining several times these days, how can there be no water in this river?" ”
