Chapter 426: Surrender

The Houjin cavalry led by Ajiga was frustrated in their attack on the infantry phalanx of the security forces, and he hurriedly withdrew his troops, preparing to find the enemy's weak link and fight again. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 The infantry regiment commander led by the security army on the opposite side saw that the Jin people retreated, and the tense nerves relaxed a little, although his regiment also had horses, but that was to improve mobility as a means of transportation, they could only be regarded as infantry on horseback, not cavalry. Walking on horseback and fighting on horseback are really not the same thing.

Hearing the news of the attack on the village, the infantry regiment hurried to meet the Houjin cavalry in the wilderness without any obstacles, and the infantry had to form a dense phalanx to confront the cavalry. Fortunately, the performance of the security army's muskets was excellent, and the soldiers were well-trained, and the Houjin cavalry was repelled with a rain of bullets, otherwise the soldiers could only be forced to carry bayonets, and the losses of the troops would definitely not be small.

While the infantry commander rejoiced in the enemy's retreat, some wanted a greater victory. He was the leader of the Jurchen Peace Army, Adali.

The Jurchen Hean Army rushed to the rescue of the village together with the corps, and when the infantry regiment lined up in the phalanx, the Jurchen Hean Regiment was arranged on both flanks of the phalanx to assist in the defense.

The Jurchen Peace Regiment now has a cavalry contingent of nearly 1,000 people, most of which are composed of captured Houjin pure Jurchens, and because of Adali's good behavior, Zhang Chu has promoted him to be the battalion commander and relaxed his control over him.

Adali watched the infantry and cavalry duel nervously, and if they found that the enemy's cavalry had broken close, they would rush out to strike at the enemy's flank and slow down the enemy's attack. The infantry repelled the enemy with platoon guns, and the cavalry's job was much easier.

Adali is very familiar with the tactics of the Houjin people, and he was discovered by the Houjin people as soon as they retreated, and Adali would not let the Houjin retreat so easily. As soon as he gave the order, the banner in the formation waved, and all the cavalry immediately followed the Houjin people and pursued out.

Originally, Ajiga didn't take the Ming cavalry chasing behind him seriously, and the overall riding level of the Ming army was much worse than that of the Houjin people.

But the Ming army that was chasing this time was very different, one by one was skilled, and the Houjin people had just attacked and consumed horsepower, and they wanted to straighten out the team when they retreated, and they didn't dare to let their horses run wild like a rout, so the natural speed slowed down, which gave the pursuers behind a chance to approach. As the two sides approached, the soldiers of the pursuing Jurchen Heian Army took off their horse bows, and a rain of arrows shot at the Houjin people, and the Houjin people who fell behind fell one after another.

Ajiga is in a hurry, now in this situation, the Houjin people can't run away, but there is no way to turn around to fight, if the Houjin people turn around and chase the soldiers, they will rush into the array of the Houjin people and scatter the Houjin people, and the combat effectiveness of the cavalry that has lost the formation will be greatly reduced, which will undoubtedly make the enemy take advantage of it, but this pursuer seems to know the Houjin people very well, and they are not in a hurry to rush over after chasing behind, and only put the Houjin people within the range of the bow and arrows, and continue to release arrows, causing the death and injury of the Houjin people.

The sweat on Ajiga's anxious head came down, when did the Ming army have such a cavalry unit with skilled archers and horses.

You can't run like this anymore, otherwise the strength of the Jin people will be consumed a little bit like this, and the melee will be a melee, and then fight off the pursuers first. Ajiga gave the order for the Houjin people to turn around and meet the enemy.

The Houjin people stopped running, turned to meet the pursuers, and the two sides scuffled together. The Hou Jin people thought that even if this Ming army was skilled in horsemanship, the fighting skills on the horse would not be so good. This time they were wrong again, the level of fighting on the horses of the chasing soldiers was not lower than that of the Houjin people at all, and they were fully armored and well-armed.

Zhang Chu invested in the Jurchen Peace Army, and equipped them all with full-body plate armor made of stainless steel, and the best steel knives were used in their hands.

When fighting against the Houjin people, many of the Houjin soldiers' weapons were cut off by the Jurchen Hean army, and their swords did not cause much damage when they were cut on the plate armor.

The duel between the two sides was quickly decided, and the Jurchen Heian Army came out of the ranks of the Houjin people, and most of the corpses left on the ground were the corpses of the Houjin people. The Jurchen Hean army regrouped together to form a formation to prepare for another assault, and Ajiga also gathered the Houjin people together, and he found that his men and horses were less than 500 people, and at this time some soldiers reported that the Ming infantry phalanx behind them was moving towards them.

Now the situation is extremely critical for the Houjin people, if the Ming infantry approaches, and then shoot a few more rows of guns, there will not be much left of the Houjin people, there are enemy cavalry watching in front, and they can't run if they want to.

Aggiga called a few of his cronies to his side and hurriedly discussed countermeasures.

"We can't retreat now, if we retreat, the enemy's cavalry will catch up, and we will be killed by a burst of chaos." Aggiga said anxiously.

"Then what are we going to do, we have to find a way to get out of this place." The cronies all looked at Ajiga with expectant eyes.

"I have a way, let's surrender in a while, wait for the Ming army to approach and suddenly attack, disrupt their team, and retreat when they can't react, maybe there is still a glimmer of life." Ajiga still used his brain to survive.

"Okay, let's do it." Ajiga's cronies went down and quietly conveyed Ajiga's order to fake surrender, so that all the soldiers were ready to escape.

The white flag was raised in the ranks of the Houjin people, and the Houjin thought that the cavalry of the Ming army would run over to disarm them, so as to take the opportunity to attack, but the Ming army only sent one person and one horseman over, shouting loudly in Jurchen language, asking all the Houjin people to dismount and hand over their weapons.

Seeing that the Ming army was not deceived, Ajiga had to order his men to dismount, and at the same time prepare to suddenly get on their horses and charge.

"Gather all the horses together and the people on the other side." The Ming army on the opposite side shouted loudly in Jurchen.

"Traitor." Ajiga cursed in his mouth, listening to the other party's skilled Jurchen language, he judged that this person must have defected to the Ming army after the Houjin people.

"All mounted and charged." Ajiga saw that the strategy of deception was not working. If the Jurchens were separated from the horses, they would have no ability to resist at all. So he decisively gave the order to attack the Ming cavalry.

The Ming army on the opposite side saw that the Houjin people got on their horses and rushed over, and also urged the war horses to meet them, and another fight was about to begin, most of the Houjin people understood that this might be their last battle, the enemy on the opposite side had skillful combat skills and sophisticated equipment, and their sabers could not cut through the enemy's armor, how to fight this battle.

Agga deliberately slowed his horse as he charged, and gradually the soldiers around him overtook him, and several of his cronies followed him to protect him.

Aggiga gestured to his cronies, and several of them suddenly broke away from the group charged by the Houjin people and ran to the side. He knew that he would not win this battle, so he decided to leave the team behind and run away with his cronies, saving his life first. (To be continued.) )
