The noon sun shone on everyone's faces, and the strong light also made many soldiers squint their eyes, and as the cheers in front of the Ming army slowly stopped, the body of the Houjin spy who was shot by Wu Chengfeng was twisted in a strange shape and lay motionless on the ground, showing an eerie silence on the battlefield.
"Woo woo woo ......"
A low and desolate horn sounded in the Houjin army, and with the sound of this horn, the Houjin army continued to slowly approach the front of the Ming army.
Yue Yang squinted his eyes and slowly looked at this pressing enemy army, he had been here for so long, and Yue Yang also had a general understanding of the division of the Jurchen Eight Banners.
Seeing that these enemy soldiers were all covered in white armor with red edges, Yue Yang knew that these Jurchens were all subordinate to the Red Banner. The red flag belongs to the lower five flags in the Jurchen Eight Banners, built in the 43rd year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty (1615), because the flag is white and red, there are eighteen Niu Lu troops under the command, and the flag owner is the Great Belle Daishan.
Looking at their numbers and banners, it is estimated that there are five Niu Lu's troops here, led by Jialazhangjing, who is inlaid with a red flag.
Yueyang had made up the history books of the Ming Dynasty, and the five cattle of the Jin soldiers or Qing soldiers were compiled into a Jiala, and the Jiala line was all the way, and the stop was a place, and the battle was attacked, and it was really the case.
"Okay, come on, let me see how powerful the so-called invincible Jurchens are today!" Looking at the enemy army in front of him, Yue Yang thought viciously.
The Later Jin army was one of the most formidable armies in the Far East in the seventeenth century, and although they were taken aback for a moment by what had just happened, these battle-hardened men quickly came to their senses. Listening to the sound of the horn coming from behind, it slowly approached forward.
Just as the Houjin military horse was slowly approaching forward, the sound of the horn suddenly stopped. The army that had been moving forward immediately stopped.
More than 1,000 horsemen lined up solemnly in front, and the whole team exuded a breathtaking momentum. At this time, their military discipline was still strict, and all the sergeants just stood quietly, and there was not a trace of noise in the entire military formation.
Immediately erected a tall Da Xuan in the rear of the Hou Jin Army, this Da Xuan is black, the edge of the Da Xuan is embroidered with red and white lace, red is white on the outside, and a curved unicorn is embroidered in the center of the Da Xu. It indicates the identity of the owner of this flag.
Underneath this big face, a middle-aged man with a strong body, wearing thick armor, and a long helmet like a lightning rod on his head was looking at the Ming army in front of him with a fierce look.
Ha Feng'a looked at the phalanx of the Ming army not far away, and couldn't help but feel a strange feeling in his heart, which made him very uncomfortable.
Just an hour ago. Hafona heard a report from the stall that a group of Ming troops was coming towards him. Surprised, he almost bulged out his eyeballs, when did the cowardly Ming army have the courage to take the initiative to fight against the Houjin warriors? And it's still a field battle, are these Ming troops crazy?
But then came a burst of joy, this time he and his men and horses did not encounter many Ming troops along the way, and even if they did, they were all collapsed at the first touch, which also made him feel very unhappy. In Hafon'a's view, a man's feats should be achieved on the battlefield, and the enemy's head should be used to set off his bravery.
Therefore, Ha Feng'a immediately ordered his troops to surround him, for fear that these Ming troops would escape, he also specially ordered the sentinels to scatter in all directions, ready to intercept the Ming troops who fled. But what he didn't expect was that these Ming troops not only did not flee, but instead set up a position and stared at them to attack. This abnormal posture surprised and surprised him at the same time.
But just now, his good mood was ruined, and a brave detective was shot alive by the Ming army with a bow and crossbow in front of the two armies, which in Hafenga's opinion was simply the biggest insult to the Houjin warriors.
At this time, he was angry and said a few words loudly to several Niu Lu around him in Manchu, and these Niu Lu also shouted loudly, and after a while, several people also shouted arrogantly.
A Niu Lu approached Ha Feng A and said, "Lord Ha Feng A, please let my troops take the lead, I will definitely let these Ming dogs know how powerful our Jurchen warriors are!" ”
Ha Feng'a thought for a while, nodded and said, "Okay, you immediately lead your headquarters to test those Ming dogs and let them know how powerful we are!" But remember, don't fight so hard that you scare them! ”
"Hahaha......"
After Ha Feng'a finished speaking, several Niu Lu next to him laughed wildly, and an invincible look jumped on their faces.
The Niu Lu also laughed and said, "Don't worry, my lord, I will definitely treat those Ming dogs well, and I won't scare them away so quickly!" ”
After speaking, this Niu Lu shook his horse's head and galloped towards his headquarters, and soon with the sound of horns, this Niu Lu led more than 300 people and horses from his headquarters to press towards the Ming army formation.
In the army of Houjin, Niu Lu is the most basic combat unit, and each Niu Lu has two official flags and two pro-army soldiers. Beside Niu Lu, there were two Kashoshi soldiers, who were the so-called forward battalion sergeants of the Manchu Qing Dynasty in later generations, with flying feathers on their helmets and flying tigers carrying flags behind them, wearing bright helmets and bright armor.
In addition, there are 17 white tooth soldiers, that is, the commonly known white armor soldiers, the guards of the Manchu Qing Dynasty in later generations, they have a color of bright armor, a high red tassel on their helmets, and a flaming side flag on their backs.
The seventeen white-armored soldiers were led by a Jurchen leader who called a strong leader, with bright armor and red tassels, and a slanted pointed flag on their backs.
Among the Houjin soldiers and Qing soldiers, they had more than 300 soldiers in a cow, and one of the three was dressed in armor as a soldier, which was divided into infantry armor and horse armor, and the rest were auxiliary soldiers, divided into horse followers and unarmored foot followers. After Huang Taiji came to power, he made some adjustments to the types of troops in the army, canceling the red swing tooth soldiers and the black battalion, and listing them as ordinary armored soldiers.
Among these five Niu Lu, in addition to each Niu Lu's personal soldiers, Kadangshi soldiers and white armor soldiers, there are also forty horse armor soldiers in each Niu Lu. The vest soldiers were in bright and dark armor, with fifty arrows and one bow and one sword, and were led by two Jurchen officers called Fen Pashku.
Then there were fifty infantry soldiers, led by two infantrymen, all of whom had black tassels on their helmets and a two-foot square flag.
Regardless of the vest or step, there is one person for every few or ten people, but the Jurchens call it the small leader of the specialty.
Among the Qing soldiers in this armor, there were more than 500 soldiers in armor, and the rest were followers and auxiliaries, who were not wearing armor or only cotton armor with no iron leaves inside. In addition, there are more than a dozen to dozens of blacksmiths and saddlers in each cow. The above is the basic establishment of the Houjin army.
This Niu Lu led his headquarters soldiers and horses slowly to a place about four hundred paces away from the Ming army's array and stopped. He thought for a moment and shouted a few words at a person next to him who was obviously dressed as Han.
The Han Chinese man was apparently captured by the Jurchens and now works as a colleague, or interpreter as he was later called.
After the general stopped Niu Lu's words, he nodded, he jumped on a horse, came to a distance of more than a hundred steps away from the Ming army, and shouted loudly: "Listen to the Ming army in front, our family said, you surrender quickly, if you surrender, we can spare your lives, if you don't surrender, we will kill you all when the Houjin army comes!" Just now you killed a Houjin warrior, our family is very angry, and now you have to pay for the stupidity just now, you are all optimistic! With that, the general pointed to the back.
Following the line of defense pointed by the general, there was a cry and begging for mercy from behind. When the Ming army in front of the phalanx looked at it, they saw dozens of ragged Ming people in front of the Houjin array, these people were men and women, old and young, and they didn't know where these people were captured by the Houjin army. All they knew was crying in terror, and behind them were some Houjin soldiers whipping them incessantly, forcing them to keep advancing.
Seeing this, the general exclaimed, "You have all seen that you killed a warrior of Houjin just now, and now we will punish you." Remember, you killed these people! ”
As soon as the general's words were finished, the Houjin sergeants who were behind the people immediately waved their swords and spears at the people and slashed or stabbed them. With a burst of screams, dozens of civilians were all killed in front of the battle.
Seeing these killed civilians, the Houjin sergeants who killed them all laughed, with a hideous smile on their faces.
Seeing such a situation, all the soldiers in the phalanx of the Ming army showed angry expressions, and many of them clenched the fire guns in their hands, and their eyes showed an angry light.
And Yue Yang, who was standing in the middle of the phalanx, clasped his hands tightly when he saw this.
Although Yue Yang had also had a conflict with Daishan's people in the Horqin tribe, it was on someone else's territory, and it was only a simple conflict. Now, seeing that those Jurchens actually vented their anger on innocent people, this was out of the bottom line in his heart.
Taking a deep breath, Yue Yang said coldly to one of the guards beside him, "Press that Tartar up!" ”
The guard quickly took the order, and soon a scarred Houjin
The sergeant was pressed up by two soldiers. He was the leader of the Houjin detective outpost who was captured by Bai Kai and others.
At this time, he was already scarred and looked weak, but the expression on his face was still fierce, and he couldn't stop struggling.
Yue Yang sneered and ordered the sergeant to push him to the front of the formation, and then the two sergeants drew their long knives and slashed at the tartar, in a miserable scream, the tartar's limbs were cut off, and he did not lose his breath for a while without losing his limbs, and he lay on the ground in pain and screamed, and the sound resounded to the sky......
