Chapter 233: The White Flag of the Fiasco

In April of the third year of the Apocalypse, after sufficient preparations, the Ming army of Jinzhou launched an attack on Fuzhou.

Fuzhou is located in the territory of Wafangdian City in the later generations, very close to Jinzhou Pass. This is the nearest city of Jiannu to defend the Ming army in Jinzhou, and about 600 troops are stationed in the city.

Jiannu's embarrassment at this time lies in this, the territory is bigger, but there are more involvement. I didn't want to lose Fuzhou to the Ming army, but the number of troops stationed in Fuzhou was very reluctant, only 600.

You must know that in Zhenjiang and other places, there are still tens of thousands of troops.

Fuzhou, which was guarded by two Niulu, became the first choice for the Ming army's counteroffensive this time.

The two Niu Lu Jiannu in the city did not have any will to resist at all, and they were already frightened by the momentum of the Ming army.

It's just that when these two Niu Lu wanted to run away, the Ming cavalry appeared outside the city, and more than 6,000 cavalry easily forced the two Niu Lu's Jiannu back to the city.

It didn't take long for the Ming infantry to arrive.

Several infantry divisions surrounded the city of Fuzhou, and then launched a siege of the city by sending artillery outside the city.

This time, Jinzhou Town dispatched a strategic artillery regiment, and the 10-pound cannon was laid out in a row, and after shelling the city wall of Fuzhou City for nearly an hour, the city wall was easily collapsed.

Then the Ming army easily entered Fuzhou City from the collapsed gap. The Jiannu in the city have been hit by artillery, and their morale has plummeted. In the face of the Ming army pouring into the city like a tide, Jiannu completely lost the will to fight. An army of more than 100,000 bullied 600 people, and the difference in strength alone made Jiannu desperate to the extreme.

But desperation did not help, and the 600 Jiannu soldiers in the city were soon chopped and chopped by the Ming army, and successfully annihilated in Fuzhou City.

The summer offensive of the 120,000 Ming army in Jinzhou Town was like an autumn wind sweeping away the leaves. After conquering the city of Fuzhou, it quickly launched an attack to the north.

Yongning, Gaizhou, Yaozhou, Jiannu was about to collapse at one touch, the Ming army connected the three cities, and when it was about to hit Haizhou, the main force of Jiannu finally appeared.

This time, Jiannu dispatched more than 80,000 troops. As soon as the main force of Jiannu was dispatched, the Ming army suddenly changed its tactics of flat push and began to shrink its forces, so as not to be broken one by one, and formed a confrontation with Jiannu outside Yaozhou City.

Because the vicinity of Yaozhou was all plains, Jiannu could not launch a surprise attack on the Ming army. At this time, when the Ming army encountered the main force of Jiannu, there was time to expand the formation.

Wild boar skin was obviously deeply jealous of the menacing Ming army, and did not dare to rashly launch an attack. Instead, they began to take advantage of their mobility. Tried to go around to the rear of the Ming army and cut off the supply of supplies to the Ming army.

It's just that this idea was quickly shattered, and the Ming army of Fuzhou, Yongning, Gaizhou, and Yaozhou was taken, relying on the protection of these cities, and logistical supplies could be stored in these cities.

As soon as the wild boar skin sent the inlaid white flag to the rear of the Ming army, the Ming army suddenly began to compress the activity space of the inlaid white flag backwards, and the hundreds of thousands of Ming troops suddenly became a big net and surrounded the inlaid white flag.

The white flag did not react at all. The Ming army had already surrounded the past from all sides. At this time, if the white flag continues to run south, then it will run to the Golden State. To the west is the sea. To the north is the direction where the main force of the Ming army is located. The only way to break through is the mountains to the east.

The white flag that reacted hurriedly broke through to the east. As a result, when Du Du led the white flag to break through to the east, he was intercepted by the 015th Division of the Tengxiang Cavalry Army in Jinzhou Town. With 5,000 troops, the 015th Division intercepted tens of thousands of troops with white flags in Jiannu.

The battle was on the verge of breaking out on the plain, and Du Du found that the Ming army had only 5,000 cavalry. I thought it was fat to my mouth, and I didn't hesitate to order the charge.

Jiannu generally faced the infantry of the Ming army with a tight formation, and would also dismount and fight on foot, and it was a very weak choice to use cavalry to attack the infantry. But Jiannu also knows how to fight immediately, and Jiannu soldiers are also cavalry. It's just the cavalry of Jiannu. It's not so professional, compared with the Mongols' mounted archery, there is still a big gap between Jiannu.

It's just that because Jiannu captured Shenyang, Liaoyang and other places in Liaodong and obtained a large number of craftsmen, thus establishing an advantage in military equipment, which allowed Jiannu to defeat Mongolia in history, and used the way of division and disintegration to pull Mongolia into this bandit gang. And by robbing the Ming Dynasty, the contradictions between them and the Mongols were led to the outside.

Of course, although these Jiannu cavalry were inferior to the Mongols in terms of cavalry and archery, the gap was not too great. In particular, the rise of the bandit gang Jiannu has been some years, and the actual combat experience is far richer than that of the Mongols. But Jiannu's cavalry combat, after all, is a traditional model.

After the charge, the formation with white flags began to become scattered. Although it was not too scattered and remained within a certain range, the gap between the cavalry and the cavalry was not small.

The 015th Division on the opposite side also began to trot, accelerate, and then charge.

However, compared with the scattered white flags, the formation of the 015th Division was maintained very well, neatly like a flying cavalry wall.

It's just that the speed of the charge is not so fast. Because the 015th Division has new recruits, if it rushes too fast, the formation will be chaotic. However, in a frontal battle between cavalrymen, the speed of the charge did not make much sense.

Finally, the two sides collided together, but before they collided together, the war horses on both sides slowed down, and it was impossible for the war horses to cause a traffic accident stupidly.

At the moment of slowing down, the cavalry on both sides beckoned each other with their weapons in their hands, and suddenly there was a splash of blood and anger.

The scuffle began.

But this was a melee for Jiannu, but the 015th Division formed a huge local advantage because of its tight formation.

A Jiannu slashed at the body of a Ming cavalryman, and the next moment he was hit by four weapons at the same time and was hacked to death on the spot.

This phenomenon is happening all the time.

Because of the precise formation of the Ming cavalry, a 2V1 or even 3V1 strength advantage was formed in the inability to gather. And Jiannu, who had an advantage of more than half of his troops, was idle on the periphery and could not immediately enter the battle.

One plus one equals two, but in reality, the effect is greater than two. Through the coordination and cooperation of the soldiers of the Ming army, this phenomenon was brought into full play. Under the siege of the Ming cavalry, the Jiannu cavalry were cut off one after another. The rest of the Jiannu cavalry was constantly replenished like a refueling tactic. But he was still slashed and killed on the spot.

The scene quickly turned into a massacre battle, and the white flag suffered a crushing defeat without any suspense.

The Jiannu soldiers who were not dead were all stunned. They looked at the cavalry of the Ming army, who were originally smaller in number than them, but now they were more numerous. It feels like everything is wrong, the world is crazy.

"How is this possible! Aren't the Ming people the least good at riding and shooting? How could they possibly defeat our Great Golden Iron Rider on horseback? Du Du was confused, and his head was dizzy and he didn't understand it at all. Why they will lose.

Obviously, there is a gap in equipment, and the armor of the Ming army is more protective, and the knives and guns are sharper. But they also have armor, and their knives and guns are also good. Even if there is a gap, it is impossible to change the essence of strength and weakness.

On top of that, they were twice as strong as the Ming army.

That's twice as much!

But why lose?

Du Du, who was confused, didn't have time to figure out this problem, but the situation on the battlefield continued to deteriorate.

As the superior strength of the Jiannu soldiers was continuously annihilated with the cooperation of the Ming army, the number of Jiannu on the field was reduced to less than the number of cavalry of the Ming army. The cavalry of the Ming army became more and more comfortable with the fighting, and the cavalry quickly carried out the final strangulation of the remaining Jiannu cavalry with close cooperation under the discipline of steel.

When Du Du reacted and wanted to run away, most of the Jiannu cavalry had already been entangled. Du Du could only take less than 2,000 cavalry, and he ran away from the battlefield in embarrassment, and fled all the way east.

The 015th Division also divided a part of the cavalry and pursued it closely. At the same time, most of the troops were slowly pursuing behind.

Jiannu was defeated and fled. All the spare horses were lost.

The 015th Division, on the other hand, had spare horses and a team of 500 people. Conduct a quick pursuit of Kennu. Jiannu had no choice but to urge the horses with all his might.

The horses were running at full strength, and the horsepower consumption was extremely large, and they couldn't run behind the echelons to pursue them, and there was also the 015 Division with horses.

There was no way, Du Du could only let the remnants of the defeated army with the white flag run away. Running all the way is throwing away the armor all the way to reduce the weight.

But they will run away separately, and the 015th Division will also pursue separately. What's more, the 015th Division in this battle lost less than a thousand combat personnel, and most of the attrition was still wounded.

In such a pursuit. A large number of Jiannu cavalry only ran less than fifty miles before they were chased by the Ming army and the horses foamed at the mouth. Although the Ming army pursued quickly, it had spare war horses, and easily caught up with these Jiannu cavalry.

The horses were scrapped, and the Jiannu cavalry became two-legged infantry, with little protection on their bodies. The end can be imagined, and it soon became the prey of the Ming cavalry.

After a soldier fell off his horse, he ran away. But before he could run far, a Ming cavalryman quickly galloped past him, and with a slight slash of the saber in his hand, the Jiannu soldier was wiped on his neck, and his mouth let out a 'heh, heh' gasp, and fell to the ground.

There are also Jiannu soldiers running on the plain with an unobstructed view, and the Ming soldiers use the lasso back and forth to 'play', this kind of play is obviously not intentional, but the lasso of the Ming cavalry is really bad, and the accuracy is too poor to be thrown a few more times.

"Haha, it's stuck." After a Ming cavalryman put a snag around the neck of a Jiannu soldier, he directly slapped the horse and tightly pulled the noose with both hands.

The Jiannu soldier was pulled to the ground on the spot and dragged all the way by the galloping war horse.

No one cared about the lives of these slaves, although the Ming army forbade the mistreatment of prisoners. But these Jiannu soldiers obviously haven't surrendered yet, and it's useless for the military judge to come.

Moreover, after these Jiannu were captured, they were often dragged by military judges to be executed as targets for recruits.

The policy of prohibiting the ill-treatment and execution of prisoners was mainly aimed at the traitor troops, and some of the Han soldiers of the traitor troops were also involuntarily. The policy of killing and injuring living forces is resolutely implemented in the treatment of Jiannu, and even if it is a private execution, as long as the military judge confirms that it is really Jiannu, he will only do some painless punishment.
