Chapter 995: Assault

After Nurhachi unified the divided Jianzhou Jurchens, and fought in the east and west, and achieved one victory after another, his prestige among the Jurchen tribes was extremely high, so he was embraced as a wise khan, which was close to the status of the emperor, and everyone dared not obey his orders, but Shulhaqi was an exception.

After the herald who came from Jianzhou read Nurhachi's order, Shulhaqi was a little reluctant, hesitated for a while and said:

"I know the Khan's intentions, but now the Ming army is advancing lightly and is not carrying artillery, it is a good opportunity to break them, if they also have cannons brought up, I'm afraid they won't be able to move, you go back and tell the Great Khan, if you can send reinforcements, it is the best, and the worst will be outflanked from the Yahu Pass, and this way will be defeated, and the rest will be fine."

The messenger was a guard beside Nurhachi, and when he saw that Shulhaqi did not obey the orders of the wise Khan, he immediately became angry, and his tone was also stern:

"The Great Khan said that it is not easy for the Jianzhou Department to have the strength it has now, and it must not be rash and wasted!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he was directly kicked down by Shulhaqi, and several of the pro-soldiers who ordered the pro-soldiers were all drawing knives, but the guards around Shulhaqi also made the same movements, and Shulhazy pointed at the pro-soldiers and scolded:

"The matter between our brothers is also a slave like you can intervene, isn't it for the sake of Jianzhou that I am doing this, go back to the Great Khan, this opportunity will not come again, I will fight all to take it, and the cost is also my own minions, please rest assured that Ying Ming Khan!"

The team led by Shulhaqi, the main elite are the elite of his own subordinates, and the Jurchens are also the union of various ministries, although Nurhachi is respected as the king of Khan, but the people below have their own subordinates, which directly belong to their own masters, and Nurhachi cannot directly order.

Moreover, because of Shulhaqi's courage and long time in the founding of the state, his subordinates accounted for one-third of the proportion of the state-building department, which is one of the reasons why Shulhaqi is the second person in the state-building department.

In the time and space without Wang Tong, after Nurhachi established Houjin, he imprisoned Shulhaqi to death, and then Huang Taiji executed Shulhaqi's eldest son Amin for crimes, and gave the power led by Shulhaqi to Zilharang after several distributions and weakening, but even so, the blue flag of Shulhaqi is the largest number of the eight banners.

Because of this power, Shulhazi also has his own ideas in action, and at the moment he is not ready to follow Nurhachi's orders.

In the other people's army, they can directly march the military method, hang them with a bowstring or escort them back to Hetuara to resume their lives, but in Shulhaqi's battalion, everyone only listens to Shulhaqi, and if they really want to confront each other, they are probably the first to be killed.

Walking on the road composed of river valleys and river beaches, there are woods on both sides, Wang Tong also came to Liaoning in that time and space, and went to many places, but there are very few trees to see, and there are like this time, the trees are extremely luxuriant.

Now Wang Tong didn't know how Sun Shoulian was in Gushan Fort, and he didn't know how far Shulhaqi's team was from him, but he knew that if he went in this direction, he would definitely collide with Shuerhaqi's army.

There are many paths in the mountains and forests, and those who are familiar with the old forests can also go east out of the border wall, or avoid Wang Tong's army.

But there is no supply, there is no position for the general, after the army of more than 10,000 people goes out on the path, how much will they have left This is a question, many people may not return to the team, and if they disperse like this, it is equivalent to breaking up without engaging in battle, which makes Wang Tong save effort.

The Jianzhou Jurchen has finally reached this point, and the gathered forces will naturally not be discarded in vain, and the two sides will inevitably collide along this tributary......

For the soldiers of the Huwei Army, the daily long-distance march is very hard, but that's what it is, because the long-distance walk with weapons, whether it is a recruit or a veteran, is doing this every day, the hard training has already made them adapt, and now the trouble is that it is very uncomfortable to eat lunch.

Stop at noon for half an hour, chop wood on the spot to boil water for cooking, time is tight, the dry food that has been cold and hard in the skin is often not hot, it is really uncomfortable to eat it half-cold, fortunately there is hot water to send down, otherwise the stomach has to make trouble, but it is better to eat in the morning and evening.

In addition to being able to calmly make a fire and cook, the volunteer cavalry also hunted some wild things nearby, often with big guys such as roe deer, wild boar and deer, which were purchased by the Huwei army at their expense, and these meat tasted better than the lard carried by the army, and it was precisely because of these fats that the soldiers supported the cold march.

"Dashuai, there are too many Tartar scouts in front, and it will be difficult for us to move forward!"

Wang Tong stood on the edge of a tributary of the Taizi River, the army advancing on his side, several generals beside him, and two heads in front of him in the snow.

"It should not be far from Shulhaqi, and he can cut off two heads by himself, and he is also a hero, who is this?"

Wang Tong judged a sentence and asked, and the general on the side hurriedly said:

"If you go back to the marshal, this is the cavalry of the Liaodi people's army, when he was a volunteer, he beheaded the most, and now he is a small flag in the army, named Yu Feng."

Yu Feng still has blood stains on his body, standing respectfully in front of Wang Tong, Yu Feng grew up very fast in the bloody battle, according to the evaluation of the generals of the Huwei Army, this person was born to be the material on the battlefield, and the two Jurchen scouts were shot by him alone, and then cut off their heads and came back to their lives.

"After cutting so many heads, and being able to bring the news back, he is a capable person, promoted to the general flag, and let the three standards pay attention to cultivation in the future!"

Wang Tong said with a smile, Yu Feng hurriedly knelt on the ground to thank him, Wang Tong groaned, and said:

"The enemy is in front of you, or according to the established rules, don't scatter the scouts, just search along the river valley and report back at any time!"

The people on the side were just about to agree, but they heard some commotion on the edge of the line, and everyone's attention immediately shifted, this was just the beginning, in the blink of an eye, there was chaos in many places in the long line, some people were screaming, some people were scolding.

"Great marshal, there are Tartar ambushes in the woods on both sides of the road, and there are casualties among the firecrackers!"

A general who inspected the army came to report, Wang Tong frowned, and said:

"The spearmen continue to advance, half of the musketeers counterattack, half follow the brigade to continue to advance, the horse team leaves two hundred people as the lead, and the rest dismount to join the counterattack and kill!"

The fire gun has begun to roar, and there are also generals who give orders loudly, Yu Feng is there to clasp his fists and salute, and hurriedly go to fight, Wang Tong groaned there, turned his head and asked:

"How far is this from Fort Soda?"

"Dashuai eleven miles up and down!"

"The non-commissioned officers of the first battalion and the second battalion of each regiment joined the counterattack on both sides, and the rest of the regiments continued to advance, and after five miles forward, the whole army stopped to rest!"

The herald agreed loudly, the first and second battalions of each regiment are the most elite of the regiment, the proportion of veterans is very high, the so-called non-commissioned officers are small flags and captains and other positions, these people often joined the Huwei Army when Wang Tong first arrived in Tianjinwei, and the combat experience is extremely rich.

They were often elite warriors wearing full-body plate armor and armed with axes, guns and short swords, and the Eastern Jurchens shot arrows and wounded people from the woods on both sides, and the pursuit and counterattack were more individual combat, so Wang Tong had to invest in the strength of being good at close combat.

When marching in cold weather, the fire of the arquebus is easily extinguished, and the burning time of the arquebus is not longer than the time of the march, in order to avoid attrition, only a small number of people in charge of the guard remain in a state of ready to shoot.

In a hurry to meet the enemy, the fire gun that can be fired may not be the position of the enemy, but it is a hurry, but the Jurchen soldiers who shoot arrows still follow the old concept of the past, thinking that the range of the opponent's fire gun will not be too far, and the power is very limited, and soon they will learn a lesson.

Within the distance that the Jurchens' bows and arrows can kill the enemy, the fire guns of the Huwei army are also quite accurate, and the power is even more sufficient, an arrow hits a person, sometimes it will be blocked by armor, but the fire of the Ming army, as long as it is concentrated, it must be dead and wounded, even if it hits the limbs, the bones are shattered, and it is lead poisoning, and there is only one way to be disabled and die.

After the cavalry dismounted and the non-commissioned officers joined the battle, the Jurchen soldiers' idea of relying on trees as a shield was also in vain, they were good at shooting, and the soldiers from the volunteer cavalry were also good at hand-to-hand combat, and the non-commissioned officers armed with axes and guns were not afraid.

As soon as the counterattack of the Huwei army began, the Jurchen soldiers on both sides immediately suffered heavy casualties, and they wanted to retreat, but they retreated far away, their bows and arrows could not shoot the Ming army, but the fire gun could still kill and injure them, and they had to take a long detour, spend a lot of physical strength, and carefully lurk near the army, but they could only launch an attack, and immediately hit their heads and bleed, and fled in embarrassment after leaving the corpse.

They originally thought that this Ming army was powerful, and the hand-to-hand combat at close range was definitely weak, but they didn't expect that those non-commissioned officers armed with axes and short swords would not suffer any loss in hand-to-hand combat, and they were also not afraid of death, and the armor was also a headache.

But before such a move, the opponent's axe gun had already been assassinated

The screams and fighting of the mountains and forests on both sides of the valley gradually fell silent, and the attacking enemy was expelled and annihilated, and the wounded were simply bandaged and sent to the carts at the back of the group.

The army continued to move forward in the commotion, and the musketeers, loaded with ammunition and ready to be activated, walked through the mountains and forests, searching for the remnants of the enemy, and when it was quiet for an hour of incense, someone noticed that the treetops seemed to be shaking

No, it seems, the shaking is getting more and more pronounced, and the snow is spilling on the branches.
