Chapter 462: Muslim Funeral

There are 80,000 Tartars led by Azig, and such a charge mode is also the result of careful consideration, all 80,000 people charge, and the formation cannot be opened, this is an attack, not a pursuit of deserters, and it is this arrangement that temporarily saves the fate of the Tartars, if 80,000 people rush over together, the power of artillery will be exerted to the extreme.

Seeing the Tartars charging like this, Su Tiancheng was a little apprehensive in his heart, so the lethality formed by the artillery battalion and the Shenji battalion was not too great, after such a long time, the loss of the Tartars was only a few thousand, after all, the power of the cannonballs was not so great, but the momentum of the Tartars was weakened.

Relatively speaking, the power of the flintlock pistol was even more discouraged by the Tartars, like the tactics of cutting leeks, all the Tartars who broke out of the area covered by the artillery fire fell under the flintlock pistols, and no one could rush to the range of ten meters in front of the Shenji Battalion, which can be said to be fatal to the Tartars' blows.

People are afraid of death, and after being beaten for a long time, they have no power to fight back, and it is impossible for morale to hold on.

The momentum of the Tartar charge has been greatly weakened, and the third wave of Tartars, when charging, has been very cautious, and the formation has been stretched out very much, which is the best way to avoid being covered by artillery fire and dodge the shells.

When such a formation appeared, it was time for the Jiangning battalion to launch a charge.

The cavalry of the Tartars is very scattered, and they cannot form a concentrated strike force, and they are in the atmosphere of their own operations, and the cavalry of the Jiangning battalion, at this time, can form a fist and give the Tartars a fatal blow, as long as they beat the arrogance of the Tartars, the Jiangning battalion will be victorious, and the Tartars will not be able to withstand such a big blow, and they will definitely retreat on the whole line.

Wang Dazhi raised the red flag, which was an order for the cavalry of the Jiangning battalion to prepare for an attack.

Suddenly the artillery fire became fierce. The Shenji Battalion also began to shoot lead bullets one by one, almost without interruption.

The bombed Tartars were flipped on their backs, and some of the Tartars had already begun to retreat, although the coach Azig had not given the order to retreat.

Azig finally couldn't hold on anymore and gave the order to retreat.

Thousands of brothers have already been lost, and the artillery fire is still fierce. Who knows how many shells the Ming army still has, using the lives of his brothers to compete with the shells, such a thing, Azig will not insist for a long time.

Just as the Tartars began to prepare for a retreat, the artillery fire suddenly stopped, and the deafening drums rang out.

The soldiers of the Shenji Battalion quickly parted on both sides.

The cavalry of the Jiangning battalion began to attack.

This overwhelming momentum made Azig feel fear, and this fear came from within.

His thoughts. It is the same as the original Aduoga, there was a fantasy before, the Ming army did not have such a great ability to annihilate 20,000 Qing soldiers, and now it seems that those 20,000 soldiers are more than lucky, and they have lost thousands of soldiers. has not yet been able to start a frontal battle with the Ming army, just when he is ready to retreat. The Ming army launched a charge, such calculations and planning, as well as accurate grasp, only the emperor's elder brother can do it.

Sensing the six gods and no master, Azig raised the steel knife again.

This time he raised the steel knife, which was somewhat fatal.

The soldiers in front are retreating. The soldiers behind saw Azig raise his steel sword and began to charge, and the camp began to be chaotic in an instant.

Azig quickly spotted the problem, but there was no time to adjust.

The cavalry of the Jiangning battalion had already rushed over.

Tartar in a panic. began to adjust quickly, and some of the Tartars spread out to both sides, trying to make room for the Tartars who rushed up, but they didn't expect that the Jiangning battalion's charge was too fierce.

No sooner had the cavalry on both sides exchanged fire than the Tartars showed signs of rout, and it all came too suddenly.

Like the autumn wind sweeping away the leaves, the tartars who are trying to disperse chase down their horses one after another, and they have no time to vacate the space.

Azig finally woke up and couldn't continue like this, who knows how many such sergeants there are in the Lu Daoming army, if they continue to hold on, maybe the army will be completely defeated.

He finally relented and prepared to retreat in full.

The sound of the golden gong sounded, although faint, but it was the voice that the Tartar had been waiting for for a long time.

The Tartars began a massive retreat.

Su Tiancheng, who was standing on a high place, looked at all this with cold eyes, as soon as the cavalry of the Jiangning battalion launched an attack, Azig issued an order to retreat, and it seemed that the infantry battalion could not come in handy.

He is very sober, it has been very good to be able to fight like this, he has exterminated thousands of Tartars, and dealt a blow to the arrogance of the Tartars to the greatest extent, from this moment on, the Tartars are going to re-examine the army of the Ming Dynasty.

The dense drums sounded again, the order for a general assault.

The infantry battalion attacked, and although the effect could not be too great, the momentum formed shook all the Tartars.

The dense phalanx rushed over.

The Tartars, who had not yet had time to retreat, were already weak in their hands and feet, and they were trapped in such a heavy siege, thinking about survival, there must be no hope.

A lot of Tartars began to desperately think about retreating, but unfortunately their wishful thinking was wrong, and the cavalry of the Jiangning battalion that rushed over was like two sharp swords, blocking the waist and cutting off the retreat of the Tartars, and thousands of Tartars were besieged in the middle and could not retreat.

Azig was wrapped in his own soldiers, desperately beating his horse and retreating, the previous arrogance, lost without a trace, at this time, to maximize the preservation of strength, as soon as possible to withdraw from the pass, is the key issue he needs to consider.

He no longer dared to continue to send troops to attack, and he could not forget the losses caused by this charge for the rest of his life.

Liu Tiehan, who was beside Su Tiancheng, saw that the Tartars were beginning to retreat, puffed out his eyes, and prepared to move.

"Iron man, don't be reckless."

"My lord, Azig is running away."

Seeing Liu Tiehan's unwilling expression, Su Tiancheng was angry and anxious, and his tone became stern.

"In such a situation, you want to capture Azig alive, aren't you looking for death, the Tartars still have an army of 50,000 who have not launched a charge, and there are only a few people in the scout camp, how can it be possible to capture Azig alive, I have already said that you need to think carefully about doing things, and you must have accurate judgment, if you rush up with the brothers in the scout camp, won't you be looking for death."

Liu Tiehan finally quieted down, looking at the retreating Tartars across the line, he was unwilling.

Su Tiancheng's order was quickly implemented, for the retreating Tartars, do not pursue, destroy the Tartars who are still resisting on the spot, and consolidate the results of the battle.

The besieged Tartars finally gave up resistance, the large army had withdrawn, they had no hope, in fact, when Azig gave the order to retreat, they had lost most of their fighting spirit, the previous courage, there was little left of the torture of artillery fire and flintlock guns, seeing the dense Ming sergeants, resistance was just a dead end.

This battle didn't last long, and it didn't take more than an hour before and after.

The operation to clean up the battlefield began.

What Su Tiancheng didn't expect was that from the county town of Fangshan, a large number of ordinary people poured out, ran over, and began to help clean up the battlefield, the eyes of the common people with hatred, saw the Tartars kneeling on the ground, looked for stones and wooden sticks on the spot, and beat them hard, many surrendered Tartars, their faces were instantly beaten with blood, mixed with the blood that flowed out before.

Sun Chuanting hurriedly asked the soldiers to stop the behavior of the common people, the Tartars have surrendered, what to do with it, that is a matter later.

Azig led a large army and ran wildly all the way, and after a full hour, he stopped.

He soon began counting the number of people.

Half an hour later, the results of the inventory came out, more than 9,000 brothers disappeared, 80,000 troops, there were still more than 70,000 left, he led an army of 100,000, from Xifengkou into the pass, this is only a long time, close to 30,000 brothers are gone, such a terrifying news, so that Azig can't believe it.

Azig, who was thunderous, couldn't wait to kill back immediately, and fight to the death with that Jiangning battalion.

Looking at the panting soldiers, Azig held back.

He finally remembered that he had to discuss with a few strategists around him, and at this point, if he continued to work blindly, it would bring greater losses, and maybe he would not be able to save his head when he returned to Shenyang.

The opinions of the strategists were surprisingly unanimous, and they immediately withdrew from Xifengkou, the faster the action, the better, the army had no fixed stronghold, and if the Jiangning battalion continued to pursue in the rear, the losses would be greater.

Azig painfully accepted this advice.

The Jiangning battalion, the most unwilling is Sun Chuanting, seeing that the Tartars have retreated, the troops of the third line under his command are just surrounding the Tartars who have not had time to retreat, and in the whole battle, the infantry battalion has become a soy sauce, and it has not played a role at all.

The results of the battle are counted.

The losses of the Jiangning battalion and the Datong border army were not large and could hardly be counted.

The artillery battalion reimbursed more than 20 artillery pieces, but because of the too dense firing, there was still a situation of explosion, but fortunately, not many officers and men were injured.

This time, there were more than 7,000 Tartars exterminated, and more than 1,000 people were captured, which is a good result, but compared with the battle of the previous two days, I always feel that there are some shortcomings.

Xu Eryi, who was in charge of supervising the battle, laughed at the excited Ha Lu Ha Da Lang, he finally saw the Tartars rout and escape, and there were so many Tartars, after the battle, Xu Eryi personally went to the front line to see, those captured once arrogant and invincible Tartars, hung their heads and couldn't see a trace of ruthlessness.

Su Tiancheng was indeed dissatisfied, mainly because of Azig's timely retreat, which made the Jiangning battalion not use all his strength.

However, after this battle, his thinking has changed completely, the original people respect the gods, afraid of the abnormal Tartars, but that's it, three battles, the Jiangning battalion and the Datong border army exterminated the Tartars nearly 30,000 people, if the Jiangning battalion continues to expand the scale, recruit more soldiers, one day, even be able to directly fight to Changbai Mountain, the Tartars are all driven down the Yalu River to feed Wang Ba.
