Chapter 255: Victory in the First World War

Boom, the iron hooves of Jiannu's cavalry trampled on this plain, making the earth tremble and make every Jiannu cavalry excited.

The wild boar skin was undoubtedly the most excited one, and he quickly made up the strategic situation after the annihilation of the Ming army.

The first is to collect the defeated troops, and at least 20,000 defeated soldiers can be collected. Then, with 50,000 troops, several broke the front and rear armies of the Ming army that had lost their command. He even only needs to defeat one of the targets, so that he has already achieved victory, and he can snatch a large amount of sophisticated equipment and a large amount of military supplies from the Ming army, thus greatly increasing his strength.

Then they can wave their troops westward, break through the Quang Ninh defense line with empty troops in one fell swoop, and launch a large-scale plunder. As a result, a large amount of materials and people were plundered, so that the Dajin Kingdom once again relied on the enslaved Han people to resume production. And he can also continue to capture Haixi's Jurchens, assimilate these Jurchens, and continuously replenish his soldiers.

And it can also go south to break through the defense line of the Taizi River of the Ming army, which is empty, and go south to plunder the Liaodong Peninsula, where the Ming State has begun to restore the administrative system, and also carry out immigration, and can also loot a large number of materials.

In turn, Dajin Guo completely got rid of the current strategic passivity, and continued the myth that he started with seven sets of armor.

Thinking of this, the wild boar skin was so excited that it seemed that his blood was boiling.

"Charge them all and kill them all." Wild boar skin led 30,000 cavalry to approach 500 meters away from the Ming army's formation, roared wildly, and ordered the whole army to charge.

A decisive order quickly turned into a reckless move.

30,000 cavalry rushed out with a bang, and the artillery fire of the Ming army rang out, and a large number of shotguns hit the head and face. Wild boar skin didn't care about such artillery fire, as long as he rushed over and cut down those pikemen, he could grab these artillery pieces of the Ming army. When the time comes, with these artillery, will you still be worried about the success of the great cause?

However, when the cavalry rushed to the phalanx formed by the Ming musketeers, the Ming musketeers raised the muskets in their hands.

I saw that the bayonets above flashed silver in the sun, and in an instant, all the Jiannu cavalry were dumbfounded. The war horse under the crotch was the neighing of Herod, and he hurriedly stopped.

The momentum of the raid was curbed, and there was a sudden chaos ahead. The cavalry behind began to disperse to both sides, and they all saw groups forming hollow phalanxes and those bright bayonets.

A cavalry assault on chopping melons and vegetables did not materialize, and the Jiannu cavalry, which had slowed down, soon fell into a scorching positional battle with the Ming army's musketeers.

The cavalry, having lost their speed advantage, became very clumsy in front of the formation, and as soon as they approached, they were stabbed by many bayonets.

Sometimes people dodge, but horses are stabbed.

The Ming musketeers also suffered casualties, but the musketeers behind were able to keep coming up, and they were in a tight formation. It was difficult for the Jiannu cavalry to take advantage.

The 30,000 cavalry surged around like a tide, and the scene did not fall at all as Boar Skin had expected, but turned into a chaotic, scorching battle.

Some of the cavalry managed to break through the phalanx of musketeers and rush into the hollow phalanx. As a result, all the musketeers in the phalanx turned their bayonets, and a dozen bayonets pierced the Jiannu cavalry who rushed in on the spot.

The musketeers of the Ming army were not as professional as the pikemen, and the casualties in the fight with the Jiannu cavalry were still relatively high. But it's obviously not easy to deal with, and it's not something that Jiannu can hack and kill at will. Moreover, these musketeers are infantry in a tight formation after all, and they have a natural advantage in the face of the Jiannu cavalry.

As a result, every musketeer killed by the Jiannu cavalry. But it still costs more than twice as much. The phalanx of musketeers was like a quagmire, making it difficult for the Jiannu cavalry, who intended to quickly defeat the Ming army, to achieve their tactical goals.

When the boar skin saw the bayonet of the Ming musketeers or the wall. His mood had fallen to the bottom in an instant. This unexpected situation shattered all his dreams.

As the two sides enter the scorching battle, Boar Skin realizes that his plan has been completely ruined. Even if they were able to defeat the Ming army in front of them, it would be a stalemate for a long time, and by that time, the front and rear armies of the Ming army would have already come to help.

What's more, judging by the current situation. His 30,000 cavalry was obviously impossible to defeat the 30,000 Ming musketeers in front of him.

"Heaven will die my big gold, heaven will die my big gold~ah!" Wild Boar Skin looked at the battle situation in front of him with great grief and indignation, and suddenly a black blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, and he fell on the horse's back while covering his chest.

"Father Khan ......"

"Great Khan ......"

There was a sudden exclamation from the side of the wild boar skin, and suddenly there was another piece of chickens and dogs.

"Withdraw. Quickly withdraw, the whole army withdraws. Huang Taiji immediately decided, and if he continued to fight, there would be nothing. What's more, the wild boar skin suddenly fainted, and there was no way to continue this battle.

"Woo~woo......" The low horn sounded, and the Jiannu cavalry who heard the horn suddenly collapsed, turned their horses' heads and ran away.

The scene was in chaos, and there were defeated Jiannu cavalry everywhere.

Of course, even if these Jiannu cavalry were defeated, it would be difficult for the Ming army to pursue, after all, the Ming army had too few cavalry. This short battle once again proved that although the infantry can easily defeat the cavalry, it is difficult to destroy the cavalry.

Although the rout of the Jiannu cavalry was not orderly, it did not suffer much loss, and soon gathered around the command banner of the wild boar skin.

The one who stayed with the wild boar skin was left with Huang Taiji's son. The wild boar skin fell unconscious, and Huang Taiji, after breaking away from the battle, immediately ordered to evacuate without even looking back.

The battlefield behind him was the corpses and routs of the 60,000 Jiannu infantry soldiers.

As Huang Taiji withdrew with the last remaining cavalry of Jiannu, the routs were desperate. I saw that the two cavalry divisions led by Li Wei easily ran in front of them and took the first step to control Jiannu's war horse. Then a part of the cavalry was divided and drove the horses to the edge of the battlefield.

The rest of the cavalry joined in the strangulation of the Jiannu rout. The Jiannu rout ran all over the mountains, but no matter how they ran, they were destined to outrun the four-legged cavalry.

The cavalry led by Levi blocked the way on the perimeter, drove the defeated Jiannu soldiers together, and handed them over to the pikemen to deal with.

Those heavily armed pikemen were like killing gods, mercilessly stabbing a famous Jiannu soldier to death. Even those Jiannu soldiers knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, but they were still indifferent.

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

A group of Jiannu routs were surrounded, and the Ming army's pikemen approached coldly step by step, and one spear pierced like a dense forest.

Suddenly, blood splattered, staining the field red.

How those Jiannu soldiers wished that there would be a hole in the ground for them to hide in, but unfortunately there was no hole, and there were many spears.

The brutal war of annihilation lasted for nearly two hours. A Ming Jiannu rout collapsed in a pool of blood. When everything fell silent, the field was littered with the corpses of Jiannu.

This battle, known as the 'Battle of Guihai' in history, was a 100,000-strong army after the Ming army broke through. (To be continued......)
