Section 402 Half-crossing and attacking
Zhao Kang, who was lying on the tree, watched all this nervously, and the sudden appearance of the fishing boat also surprised him inexplicably, but when he saw them dismantling the pontoon bridge, Zhao Kang knew that these sailors were planning to cut off the Tartar lazy waist, and he couldn't help but be anxious.
The sailors' tactics were right, but in that case, wouldn't the Tartars be blocked on the other side, and the Tartars would not be able to cross the river, and his cavalry would be ambushed here in vain.
Three pontoon bridges, one was demolished, two were burned, and in the end only about a thousand cavalry crossed the small river and faced the big camp across the river, in vain.
At this time, the Tartar camp also began to catch fire, I don't know if it was released by the Ming army, or the Tartars themselves burned it, Zhao Kang thought that it was more likely to be the latter.
The fact is also the same, Hilgen and Aobai one is responsible for the break, the other is responsible for the retreat, when the organization stopped, can retreat in an orderly manner, Hilgen put a fire, blocking the pursuit of the Ming army, the effect is good, as a result, the Qing army successfully retreated to the river, but at this time they were dumbfounded when they saw the destroyed pontoon bridge.
Hauge was on the other side, staring at the sailors with fiery eyes, shouting hoarsely for the archers to shoot arrows.
But the sailors were like water ghosts, except when they were exposed to the water when they were ventilated, most of the time they were underwater.
Later scientific experiments, heavy machine guns shoot at water targets, more than one meter of bullets will lose kinetic energy, bows and arrows, can enter the water for a foot is considered a myth, so unless you can catch the opportunity to change the water, otherwise the Qing army's bows and arrows have no way to swim in front of them, they can only watch them swim to the mouth of the river like fish, and then come up to the sea boat that stops in the Yangtze River.
Jiang Fan stood on the sea boat, saw the burning pontoon bridge with open arms, and couldn't help but be excited, when the general merchant ship who led the troops to burn the bridge, he immediately called over: "Good job, Shi Lang!"
"Attack, attack! Rush over, kill all the Tartars, and capture Haug alive. ”
Zhao Kang jumped directly from the tree. Then the cavalry set off at once, and the five-mile journey was in the blink of an eye.
But enough for the Qing army to discover them, and immediately the cavalry met them, and the two sides were strangled together at once.
Cavalrymen who lost their speed fought together. The intensity was not as fierce as the infantry, and after a confrontation, the casualties on both sides were less than 300, the Ming army with thick armor was 100, and the Qing army had 200.
Zhao Kang continued to rush through the Qing army's formation. Immediately turned back and killed back.
At the same time, his eyes searched around, hoping to find Hauge's banner, but at this time, the ghost would fly the flag, and in the chaos of cavalry, it was almost impossible for him to find Hauge.
At this time, on the other side of the river, the Ming army finally resumed the offensive, bypassed the burning camp, and began to clear the Qing army along the river.
The Qing army was crowded on the bank of the river, facing the approaching Ming army step by step, and finally someone gritted his teeth. Jumped into the river.
I don't know how to swim, but it's a small river, and it hasn't rained much lately, and the water level isn't high.
The Qing army could have walked on the bottom of the river, and the deepest part of the river was no more than submerging their chests.
After discovering that the water was not deep, more Qing soldiers began to jump into the river, and some even rode down the river.
Horses are born to swim, so these Qing soldiers can cross the river safely with their horses around their necks.
Zhao Kang faced a choice, continued to fight with the Qing army here, and let the Qing army cross the river. Or directly attack the Qing army crossing the river, no matter these guys who try to escape, Zhao Kang must have Haoge among them.
Is Haoge important, or is the elite of the 30,000 Eight Banners important? I believe that everyone will choose the latter, but for Zhao Kang personally, killing 30,000 Eight Banner soldiers is the credit of the whole army, and if he can capture Haoge, it will be his glory alone.
Under the repeated conflict in the heart. He remembered the order his cousin had given him to capture Hauge alive.
"Cousin, I'm sorry, I'm a non-consuming thing!"
Thinking of this, Zhao Kang immediately beckoned the nearby cavalry to assemble with him, sounded the brass horn hanging on the saddle, and soon his own cavalry converged on Zhao Kang, and after disengagement, the Qing army did not love to fight, and immediately fled to the south.
Zhao Kang sighed, pointed to the shore with a knife, there were already Qing troops who had just swam across the river, and most of the cavalry rushed over in a dense formation.
These Eight Banners who swam across the river and thought they had escaped suddenly faced nearly a thousand cavalry and crushed them, and they really had no ability to resist, but fortunately there were only 1,000 cavalry, and they couldn't run fast on the river beach, and gradually more and more Qing troops crossed the river and gathered together in groups to resist.
Zhao Kang felt that the pressure was getting bigger and bigger, the Qing army was like cotton, killing the past, killing the past, more and more, and it was not able to mix it up, and it didn't have the feeling of being clean and neat when leading troops to rush and kill, and piercing with one blow.
Zhao Kang's war horse under Zhao Kang's seat snorted and kept panting, Zhao Kang also felt that his arm that kept swinging the knife was a little stiff and sore, and the knife was rolled up, and the Qing army that had already surpassed his own strength gathered by the river.
Zhao Kang suddenly felt defeated, the ambush of Haoge was unsuccessful, and the sniper of the Qing army also failed, and he was extremely depressed.
At this time, he suddenly felt the earth shake, this sound was very familiar to him, it was the formation of a large group of cavalry charging, but there was a large group of cavalry there, and the Qing army was shrinking on the river bank.
I couldn't help but look back, and saw a line of black pressed troops, all gray iron armor, lined up in a tight formation, people next to people, horses next to horses, two cavalrymen even knees together, the first row held spears, flat forward, the second row was three steps away from the first row.
Who else could there be in this formation besides their own cavalry?
The cavalry formation that Yang Chao has compiled and trained is actually just an immediate transformation of the infantry phalanx, and it must also be strictly organized.
Zhao Kang knew the truth, in terms of horsemanship, the Ming army could not catch up with the Qing army in his life, so he could only rely on the formation.
This kind of dense formation that can't penetrate a horse, and the impact on the enemy is like a wall hitting it, which is the horse version of the wall formation, but the effect is still good, and the Qing army can at least receive a one-to-one battle ratio.
Although he did not order his cavalry to cross the river, Zhao Kang still felt a burst of excitement when he saw the cavalry suddenly appear here, and what made him feel like winning the lottery was that he saw a team of Qing Army Eight Banners running back under the pressure of his cavalry line.
Obviously, the eight banners that fled were blocked back by these cavalry.
The feeling of being lost, but suddenly coming back, is so exciting, like suddenly winning a leopard in a casino.
After Zhao Kang's spirit was stimulated, he immediately began to organize, and his cavalry began to march towards the south with the last of their energy.
"The governor has an order, capture Hauge alive! The governor has an order. Capture Hauge alive! ”
has been surrounded by the cavalry of the Ming army, Haoge's knife is on his neck, and the four continents are still his loyal and brave guards, and they are already slightly old on their faces. With determination and fortitude, Hauge knew that these people would fight until the last moment, and even if he Hauge committed suicide, these people would still fight. This is the guards formed by Huang Taiji back then, but it's a pity that all of them are nearly thirty years old, or even in their thirties, maybe not Haoge, they will spend their old age in Beijing.
"The governor has an order, capture Hauge alive! The governor has an order to capture Hauge alive! ”
Hauge heard these two sentences without listening, and couldn't help crying and laughing, not wanting to hit him Hauge one day, the son of Huang Taiji. Nurhachi's grandson was captured alive one day.
Suddenly he was about to wipe his neck, but suddenly stopped, Dudu? Isn't that Yang Chao?
He suddenly wanted to meet this Yang Chao, to meet this Ming general who had killed Duoduo, and he wanted to know why his soldiers were completely different from other Ming troops.
The guards around him surrounded them in a circle after circle, but the Ming army outside peeled them off layer by layer like peeling an onion.
Hauge suddenly withered down the knife and shouted, "Haug is here!" ”
The Ming army outside was slightly stunned. But at random began to continue the assassination, at this time the Ming army had already dismounted, and after surrounding the Hauge army, they dismounted and fought on foot. It was clear that their combat might on foot was far superior to that of horses, and Haug even thought that their martial arts were comparable to those of the Bayara Protectors.
And the combat experience is even richer, the formation is not chaotic at all, and there is a great deal of discipline between the assassinations, it seems that there are faint groups of three, and the direction of the guns is completely different. A thorn in the head, a thorn in the chest, and a thorn in the abdomen, making it impossible to resist.
"I'm Hauge! Ke Youming will come out to answer. ”
Hauge shouted loudly, which made his guards slowly stop, and the Ming army also slowly stopped, and there were less than a hundred people left around Auge at this time.
"You're Hauge?"
A Ming general walked over, rode on a horse and asked, it could be seen that this Ming general was very young.
"That's right, this king is Haoge, the prince of the Great Qing Dynasty, and you, the Ming general, please also use your name."
"Under Li Yuanyin, most of the governors have thousands of soldiers!"
"Metropolitan Governor, is that Yang Chao?"
"That's right, the Metropolitan Governor is Uncle Zhongyi, Uncle Yang. You barbarian, so rude, dare to call the name of Zhongyi! ”
Haoge laughed: "General Ming, this king asked you, what is the reason why Yang Chao wants to capture this king alive?" ”
Li Yuanyin barbarian: "Zhongyi Bo has his own deep thoughts. This official advises you to hurry up and arrest you, and surrender to avoid death. ”
Hauge sneered: "Dead? Do you think this king will be afraid of death? ”
Li Yuanyin said: "Do you surrender or not?" ”
Hauge said: "How about surrendering, what about not surrendering?" ”
Li Yuanyin said: "Surrender can avoid death, and you soldiers can also live." ”
Haoge sneered: "Do you think Yang Chao can let me go and let me go of these soldiers?" ”
Li Yuanyin said: "Loyalty, righteousness, benevolence, and righteousness, the first evil will be punished, and the rest will not be investigated!" ”
Haoge said: "You think I will believe it, if Yang Chao has such a belly, this king will admire him." ”
Li Yuanyin became impatient, and he began to suspect that Hauge was stalling for time.
Haoge said: "That's it, Yang Chao is just to humiliate this king, but this king also wants to see him." ”
After saying this, he put his sword on the ground, and then said to his guards: "You are all warriors who follow your father's khan, and this king is humiliated, and he cannot be involved in you, so go and follow your father's khan." ”
After Hauge finished speaking, most of these veterans who had followed Huang Taiji since they were teenagers didn't snort, and pressed the knives on their necks one by one, and the knives gently kissed their necks, and they slowly fell down one by one.
Li Yuanyin couldn't help but be moved, he looked at Haoge, who walked gently past the corpses of his subordinates and walked in front of his horse, he was a little flustered, and the war horse felt his emotions, and swayed uneasily.
"Take Hauge down!"
Li Yuanyin shouted, his subordinates didn't care about this, and immediately pushed Haoge to the ground.
Li Yuanyin looked at the Qing soldiers who committed suicide one by one, and his heart was inexplicably touched at this time.
"Hold Hauge down, bury these tartars."
"Burn them, burn them, if you respect them as a good man, burn them, so that their souls can float to Liaodong."
Hauge lay on the ground and shouted loudly, and he was almost on the ground, and he didn't look up, because there was already a puddle of water under his face.
Li Yuanyin nodded: "If the barbarians don't talk about going into the soil for peace, then burn it." ”
At this time, on the river beach, Zhao Kang led a cavalry back and forth to kill, he had changed three horses, killed I don't know how many people, the Qing army swam across the river less than 10,000 people, most of them were tortured back and forth by Zhao Kang's cavalry to death.
Without Zhao Kang's order, Li Yuanyin made it clear that the deputy general of the cavalry transferred 10,000 people to this side of the river, and it was these 10,000 people who blocked Haoge, and it was these 10,000 people who arrived in time to block the Qing army that was about to escape.
Seeing that the Qing army on the river beach was almost killed, leaving a pool of bloodstains, staining the river beach red, small strands of blood gathered into a stream, slowly flowing to the river, dyeing the river one by one, like a cluster of lotus flowers blooming on the river surface, and then the lotus slowly spread, and it seemed that a red cloud was floating on the water, and finally twisted and spread under the impact of the current, and slowly faded......
Zhao Kang glanced at the other side of the river, the battle was settled earlier than this side, there were dead bodies lying on the riverbank, these people were crowding into the river until they died, but unfortunately they didn't have a chance to go into the water, of course, waiting on the water side would not be a good result.
It was finally resolved, and all of them were killed, except for a few who escaped, and the Qing army stayed here.
Zhao Kang had already dismounted, sitting on the ground panting, his knife aside, it was already full of gaps, completely blunt.
"My lord, I am glad that I did not disgrace my life!"
A voice was heard, and then a man was seen rushing to bring a tartar to him.
Zhao Kang saw this tartar, who was five big and three thick, very tall, with a square face, and looked honest, but there was a look of arrogance on his face.
"This is Hauge?"
Zhao Kang asked Li Yuanyin, who was full of smiles.
Li Yuanyin nodded: "It's Haoge." ”
Zhao Kang nodded: "Congratulations." ”
Li Yuanyin was puzzled: "The adults laughed, and the subordinates were ordered to capture Haoge, and all the adults were well led." ”
Zhao Kang snorted: "You thief, the oil cavity is slippery, you captured it, you captured it, what else can Lao Tzu rob you, after this battle, you should also be promoted to deputy general." Remember, starting tomorrow, teach Lao Tzu the Art of War! ”
Zhao Kang snorted and scolded, after blocking Haoge just now, Zhao Kang took people back to kill without saying a word, leaving Li Yuanyin with a small number of soldiers to surround and annihilate Haoge, in fact, he had already intended to give the credit to Li Yuanyin, because he really didn't have the face to rob.
"Okay, if you want to learn, you can summon it at any time."
Li Yuanyin said with a smile, he was scolded as a thief, and he was not angry for the first time. (To be continued.) )
