Chapter 539: All or Nothing

Although the phalanx in front of them fired desperately, and the baggage soldiers in the first row who were responsible for holding shields also desperately threw earth-shaking thunder in front, causing heavy casualties to the Qing soldiers, but under the desperate assault of the Qing soldiers and the rapid impact of the cavalry, some cavalry still rushed to the front of the phalanx. ,!

"Bump"

A cavalryman with a horse collided with a heavy shield, and the force of the impact caused the two strong baggage soldiers behind the heavy shield to fly upside down. The horse and the horseman who dared to smash the steel shield with their flesh fell to the ground.

Such a scene began to happen one after another, although soon after being knocked down by the shield, there would be another baggage soldier who stepped forward to put up the shield, but in the case of taking care of the other, it was inevitable that there would be negligence, and the Qing soldiers who had reached the range were so vicious that they did not hesitate to release arrows into the gap.

"Whoosh"

Heavy arrows kept flying towards the gap, so that the casualties of the phalanx began to rise, although the riflemen behind were also desperately shooting with the rifles in their hands, but the Qing army seemed to have lost their minds, and still rushed forward desperately.

"Resist, everyone resist me! The Tartars must not be allowed to rush in! ”

A thousand generals were commanding in the phalanx, loudly encouraging the morale of the sergeants.

"Poof!"

Suddenly, a heavy arrow flew out of nowhere and struck him in the throat, and a long arrow pierced the back of his neck.

With an arrow in his throat, he shouted a few times, spat out a few slurred words from his throat, and then slowly fell to the ground.

"Your Excellency, Your Excellency!"

A Bai Zong stepped forward to help him, and found that he had closed his eyes, he didn't care about his sadness, and immediately shouted after putting Qian Zong on the ground: "All attention, now the third brigade is under my command, everyone is loaded and aimed at the front, ready to be released!" ”

"Bang Bang Bang"

A puff of white smoke rose faintly with the dull sound of gunfire. Knocked down a large number of cavalry on the opposite side, which was rushing on the prancing horse.

In the camp of the Qing army in front, the officers and generals of the Qing army kept urging their subordinates to charge, "Rush up, rush up, those Nikans are almost unbearable, as long as they rush in, they will be finished!" ”

This is a contest between hot weapons and cold weapons, and it is also a contest of wills, and only one side of the two sides cannot hold on. It will be a defeat in no time.

Countless horses and knights fell in the sound of gunfire, and countless sergeants were killed in arrows and axes and javelins, but all this was no longer on the minds of the commanders of both sides, and at the moment they had only one thing on their minds, and that was to hold on until the other side could no longer hold on.

This tragic scene even Huang Taiji, who was watching the battle in the rear, couldn't help but be moved, looking at the phalanx that seemed to be crumbling, but always stuck there, Huang Taiji was shocked. He said in amazement: "Does that Pang Gang really have such a great ability to make the originally cowardly Han people so strong?" ”

None of the generals around him could answer this question, they were all old men who had fought with Qianming. They couldn't be clearer about what kind of virtue the former Ming army was, and if such a high-intensity battle was conducted, the former Ming army would have collapsed long ago.

However, this army was not, not only did they not collapse, but fought vigorously, first defeating Kong Youde's Han army banner, and then facing the blue and red banners led by Dai Shan and Azig, inflicting heavy casualties on them.

Judging from Huang Taiji's observation just now, the casualties of the two banners led by Dai Shan and Azig at this time had accounted for about forty percent of their total strength. Even if they can immediately defeat the opposite Dahua army now, they are already broken, and they will not be able to recover for more than ten years.

But what worries Huang Taiji is that instead of showing signs of collapse, the Dahua Army is becoming more and more courageous, is this still the tofu scum army in his previous impression?

If the army of the former Ming has half of their morale. Not to mention violating the Ming Dynasty, if the Ming Dynasty doesn't come to attack the Qing Dynasty, they should laugh snickering.

"Immortal God, is it true that God does not bless me with the Qing Dynasty?"

Just as the Emperor Taiji was looking up to the sky and sighing, Dorgon on the two wings also called Duoduo. instructed him: "Duoduo, until now, your main force with the white flag has not moved, right?" ”

Duoduo shook his head and said: "No, Brother Fourteen, I always remember your words, the people who went up at the right time were those clothed minions and the miscellaneous soldiers of the Mongolian Eight Banners, and our main force was left behind." ”

"Well, that's good." Dorgon nodded, looked around again and then whispered: "Dordor, just fight like this, no matter what the battle looks like, as long as the main force of our two banners is still alive, we will be fine, you must remember this." ”

"But" Duoduo hesitated for a moment before hesitatingly saying: "Fourteenth brother, now that the big Baylor and the twelfth brother are fighting fiercely with the big Chinese, we are so preserving our strength, what will we say if the emperor investigates it after the war?" ”

"You're an elm brain!" Dolgon couldn't wait to knock a few times on his head, and said in hatred: "Just seeing the bitter battle between Brother Twelve and Big Baylor, don't you see their miserable situation at this time?" Now they have killed and wounded nearly half of them! Let me ask you, even if we can completely annihilate the 50,000 Dahua army today, do you think we can destroy Dahua immediately? ”

Duoduo shook his head, although he was not as scheming as Dorgon, but he was not stupid, and replied: "Naturally, it can't, although Dahua has not completely restored the territory of the original Ming Dynasty, but at least it also rules most of the Central Plains, and they have hundreds of thousands of troops, even if these 50,000 troops are wiped out, they can recover quickly, those Han people lack everything, that is, there is no shortage of people!" ”

"That's right!"

Only then did Dolgon reply: "Dahua can afford to lose, let alone 50,000, that is, to lose 100,000 and 200,000 troops, with their population, as long as they are given a year or two, they can recover immediately, but what about our Daqing?" All the elites of our Daqing are here, you have also seen the situation of today's battle, even if we can completely annihilate this enemy army, but we will at least lose the same number of men and horses, you say, if we lose another 50,000 or 60,000 horses, can Daqing still be able to withstand Dahua's attack? ”

Dolgon's words woke up Dorgon like a thunderbolt, and he woke up and said, "Brother Fourteen, what do you say? I listen to you. ”

Dolgon then said: "Let's just one word, "drag", as long as the emperor withdraws the troops, we will retreat immediately, and when the emperor can't bear it anymore, he will put the yellow flag and the yellow flag in his hand into it and the Dahua army will be defeated, then it will be the opportunity for our brothers." At that time, we can also avenge our mother! ”

Thinking of this, Dolgon's mind immediately appeared with the kind face of their mother Abahai, and then thought that in order to consolidate his throne, Huang Taiji immediately sent a false decree to Abahai to bury Nurhachi after his death, which also made him and Duoduo become motherless children since childhood, and when he thought of this, Dorgon's teeth couldn't help but cluck.

"Fourteenth brother, don't worry, we will definitely avenge our mother!"

Seeing Dolgon's gritted teeth, Duoduo also felt the same way, their two brothers lost their mother since they were children, and they were not less bullied by other brothers, fortunately, Dolgon was smart and self-reliant since he was a child, not only developed the two flags that Nurhachi left to their two brothers, but also gradually gained a firm foothold in the court, which made their two brothers begin to raise their eyebrows, even if Huang Taiji is the emperor, he can't suppress the two of them at will.

It is precisely because Dolgon has been taking care of his mother since he was killed by Huang Taiji, therefore, in Duoduo's psychology, Dolgon is the best candidate for the Qing Emperor.

Now after listening to Dolgon's words, Duodu felt that the opportunity had come, he shook his teeth, and nodded resolutely: "Fourteenth brother, I understand, no matter how we fight in front, we will not move, in the words of the Han people, that is, we are sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight, and we will win and not lose." ”

"Hehe, it's good that you understand!"

Seeing that Dorgon had comprehended his intentions, Dorgon nodded with great satisfaction and waved his hand: "Then you go over first, remember what you just said, as long as the situation is not right, and you see me retreating, you will immediately follow, and you must not delay, understand?" ”

"Got it, Brother Fourteen, don't worry, okay, I'll go first!"

The battlefield is a mess, and the people below are also thinking about it.

This battle lasted until the afternoon, and the army of 15,000 people in the three phalanxes of the Weijiang Division, which had been on the front line, had suffered one-third casualties of nearly 5,000 men and horses, and the Azig and Daishan Divisions, which had been attacking, were even more miserable.

The huge casualties finally made Dai Shan and Azig unbearable, Azig and Dai Shan came to Huang Taiji at the same time to cry: "Your Majesty, there are less than 5,000 people left in the blue flag of the courtiers at the moment, you can do well, just leave some seeds for the blue flag!" ”

Seeing the two brothers who couldn't cry, Huang Taiji nodded, he also noticed that the opponent's military formation had reached the last moment at this time, as long as there was a new force and a gentle push, they would collapse.

"Okay, you guys and take down the soldiers and horses, and I'll leave the rest to me!"

After Huang Taiji finished speaking, he called Hao Ge and ordered loudly: "Hao Ge, last time you suffered a big loss in Jinzhou by Wu Sangui, today I will give you a chance to make meritorious service and atone for your crimes, you immediately lead the blue and yellow flags to attack the enemy, and you must break through the enemy's large array in one fell swoop!" ”

"Wow!"

Hauge was overjoyed and immediately took his orders and left (to be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly passes, and your support is my biggest motivation. )
