Chapter 312: Swing your fists and fingers, and you will be defeated in both directions
The front team rushed back, and Ren Dong, the officer of the family ding team on Ren's side, flickered his expression, gritted his teeth and said: "General, the Tartars are powerful, why don't you retreat to the Chinese army and wait for another battle." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Looking ahead, Ren looked miserable and muttered, "Can you still retreat now?" ”
When Ren Dong heard this, he immediately looked ahead, and after the rout of the fleeing army, a blue yellow dragon banner rose into the sky, and under the banner, the endless Jurchen cavalry brandished swords and guns, and was rushing towards this side.
These Jurchen cavalry were Tartar cavalry with blue flags, dressed in blue heavy armor and wielding shiny knives, laughing as they passed by the fleeing routs, and at the same time used their horses to slash their swords from the sides and backs of the Ming rout.
The screams reached the ears of the Ming troops in the rear, and some people immediately retreated, and some soldiers wanted to take advantage of the chaos to escape, but before they could act, they were seen by Ren Quan.
Ren Quan did not hesitate at all, strode forward, slashed and killed three fearful sergeants with a knife, and then raised his sword and shouted, intending to calm the army's heart, and at the same time sent pacesetters to the Chinese army to ask Sun Chengzong for help.
Ren Quan took the lead, led the family and the sergeants of the Supervising Battalion to form a formation and did not retreat, and the rest of the sergeants were blamed and arranged to the back.
The rumbling sound got closer and closer, and Ren Quan suddenly shouted: "Release!" ”
Suddenly, the artillery on the Ming army's position rang out, and more than a dozen Jurchens who rushed to the front were suddenly hit, more than half of them were directly shot down and dismounted, and the rest were only slightly injured.
Although Ren Quanquan is also equipped with guns and artillery, they are too far from the firearms in the Yongan Army, most of them are shoddy goods in the guards, and they also lack daily care and inspection.
The quality is uneven and the phenomenon of random release is serious, before Ren Quan gave the order, many people were afraid of it, and released it in advance without waiting for the Houjin people to rush to the firing range, and the damage caused was quite limited, and the casualties of the Houjin cavalry after a few rounds were not as high as 100.
Even with such low casualties, several roars were heard among the Jurchens.
The Ming soldiers could even see the ugly and terrifying faces of the Jurchens, and the spearmen in the back row could no longer stand, and many of them threw down their spears, didn't care about anything, turned around and ran.
Not only that, but the sergeant who fired the cannon in the back did not have the slightest optimism about the situation, coupled with the fear of the Jurchens, the phenomenon of rout and escape was serious, and Ren Quan had to supervise the battle in the front army, which was simply out of control.
Seeing the Jurchens in blue armor getting closer and closer, although Ren Quan's heart was dead, a man was born, and it was his glory to be able to die on the battlefield.
Bloodshot eyes looked at Ren Dong and the others beside him, and actually laughed and asked, "Are you afraid?" ”
A family member of the horse team had a calm face and shouted: "Don't be afraid, I am willing to kill the prisoners with the general!" ”
"I am willing to kill the prisoners with the general!"
In the eyes of the fleeing sergeant, Ren Quan was like a madman, laughed a few times and took the lead to greet him, followed by Ren Dong, his expression flickered, but when he saw that Ren Quan had already rushed out, he gritted his teeth and clucked, and he also roared angrily and followed the captive.
The Ming army, which was more than 1,000 people behind, shouted one after another, and rushed over after Ren Quanchao without fear of death.
Seeing the Ming army's dead fish and broken nets, while admiring this Ming general in his heart, Abatai turned around and shouted: "The warrior of the blue flag, follow me Abatai, kill the Ming dog!" ”
Twenty thousand Jurchen cavalry and tens of thousands of horses galloped together, screaming and rushing, and under this momentum, the earth seemed to tremble.
Abatai's 20,000 cavalry crashed into the Ming army with a bang, shouts of killing and miserable howls intertwined, and at the moment of intersection, there were cavalrymen on both sides who turned on their horses.
In the battlefield fight, Ren Quan may not be weaker than Abatai, but at this time, the quality of the soldiers led by the two is very different, and Abatai has an absolute advantage in numbers.
Hou Jin Bing is like a fist, and Ren Quan is just a little finger on the palm of the entire Ming army, no matter how brave the little finger is, how can it resist the fierce fist swing?
This battle was destined to be a massacre from the beginning, Abatai took advantage of the mobility of the Houjin cavalry to eat the Ming army on the periphery first, weakening the strength of the Chinese army at the same time, but also exhausting the rest of the Ming army, this is the usual tactic of the Houjin people, tried and tested.
……
Sun Chengzong had already expected something when he heard the shouting and killing sound on the west side of the Chinese army, and a pacesetter who rushed to Ren Quan confirmed his conjecture.
Sun Chengzong did not hesitate at all, and immediately ordered Ge Fuquan to lead 10,000 cavalry to aid the whole department, but at this time, the Ming army was not the elite of the provinces in the Battle of Salhu.
On weekdays, when there is no enemy situation, the whole army needs a few sticks of incense, and in wartime, they are panicked and congested together, and people shout and neigh, which makes this time infinitely extended.
And Ge Fuquan, who was in charge of the rescue, was naturally a hundred reluctant, and after receiving the order, he tried his best to delay time, and when the army was finished and ready to set off, more than an hour had passed since Ren Quan took the battle.
When Ge Fuquan arrived at the location, all he saw were corpses, most of which were already cold.
As for the guerrilla general Ren Quan, he had been killed by Abatai half an hour ago, and his body could not be found.
Just when Ge Fuquan blamed himself, shouts and cheers rang out again in all directions.
After Abatai led the 20,000 Jurchen cavalry with the blue flag and the blue flag to annihilate all the Ren on the West Road, he expected that the Ming army would come to reinforcements, and he had been ambushing here.
The Jurchens who had just won rushed forward, as if the more than 10,000 Ming troops on the opposite side were just 10,000 sheep.
Frightened at the same time, Ge Fuquan hurriedly ordered the battle in formation, although he was afraid of Houjin, but he was not a person who was greedy for life and afraid of death.
Ge Fuquan personally supervised the artillery to attack him, and at the same time ordered the horse team to assemble in front of the gunners and prepare to charge.
This is Zhu Yuanzhang's tactics against the Mongolian cavalry in the early Ming Dynasty, first using artillery to attack its front, and then most of it to follow, which has been repeatedly effective.
If the Ming army has strict orders, this method of warfare is indeed the first choice for dealing with the Jurchens.
Ge Fuquan only focused on observing the battle situation, and did not expect the imminent danger behind him, just when he was full of ambition and was about to launch an artillery bombardment, Deng Fang, the general behind him, suddenly shot out and inserted the knife into Ge Fuquan's left rib.
In an instant, the blood flowed, Ge Fuquan suddenly felt the slightest coolness from his left ribs, and he didn't think so, suddenly he seemed to understand something, and he wanted to turn back, but it was already too late, and he was paralyzed, and he couldn't exert any strength.
Deng Fang kicked Ge Fuquan down with one kick and sneered: "General, don't blame me and other brothers for not being merciful, I don't listen to how hard I persuade you in Datong, all I think about is what kind of killing, I have to take our brothers to die, and borrow your head for some military merits." ”
Deng Fang didn't even give Ge Fuquan a chance to speak, he quickly cut off Ge Fuquan's head, raised it and shouted: "Ge Fuquan is dead!" ”
In an instant, the main general was killed by the rebel general, and there was a panic in the Ming army.
Almost all the family members who were loyal to Ge Fuquan were killed at the first time, and the rest of the family members hurriedly gathered the rest of the officers and soldiers, and the two sides fought in the array.
These rebel officers and soldiers who were still afraid of the Jurchens before, but at this time, they were like fierce tigers, slashing and killing their comrades without sparing the slightest hand, and they all fought bravely to be the first, plus the numerical inferiority.
More and more officers and soldiers joined the rebels, but there were fewer and fewer loyal to the Ming Dynasty, and they fell one by one, and in the end, only a few thousand defected officers and soldiers of Deng Fang remained.
Abatai was leading the army to sprint, but it didn't take long to see the Ming army suddenly killing each other, and a Southern Dynasty general came with the guerrilla head of the Ming army led by Fangcai.
I only heard the general smile and said: "Knowing that Baylor led a large army to crusade here, the minions and subordinates have long been overjoyed, and now the head of this Ge Fuquan is dedicated to Baylor, which is Baylor's military exploits." ”
Abatai was surprised when he heard this, and then laughed, and annihilated more than 10,000 reinforcements of the Ming army without spending a single soldier, and thousands of Ming troops came to vote, which was a great achievement.
A Zhenglanqi Niu Lu Zhen whispered beside him: "Baylor can let the Han army attack the South Road and attract Sun Chengzong to rescue, and then Baylor can lead the army out quickly, annihilate the Yong'an Army on the East Road with a thunderbolt, and capture Xiao Yi." ”
