Chapter Twenty-Seven: White Armor
In the face of the intensive attack of a ** long and short weapons, the Houjin armor soldiers were defeated and retreated, close to the verge of collapse, several rounds of firearms strikes killed and injured more than 300 people, and the casualties increased rapidly after the hand-to-hand combat began, perhaps the Houjin won too much victory over the Ming army, they never had the concept of retreat, and it was maintained until now under the inertia of this psychological advantage. Chen Xin successfully took advantage of their contempt, first used excellent firearms to catch Houjin off guard, and immediately sent a killer team to engage in short-handed combat after the firepower attack, so that the hesitant Houjin army lost the opportunity to evacuate on its own initiative.
The commanders of the left and right flanks of Houjin were all battle-hardened, and saw that the front might collapse, so they sent reserves almost at the same time, and the 100 Mongolian banner cavalry left on the outside of the two wings attacked to contain the two wings of the killer team, and looked for an opportunity to detour behind the killer team, and the garrisons of the Jiannu infantry battle have also been sent to various sections to stabilize the dìng shape shì, the garrisons of the left wing and the Chinese army are Mongolian banner armor soldiers, but the right flank is more than 80 Manchurian Bayala.
The silver shining Bayala all dismounted, these elites who survived from years of battle are the top forces of Houjin, each Niu Lu is not more than ten people, more than eighty people can already defeat hundreds of ordinary Ming troops, their goal is not only to prevent the collapse, but also want to break the Ming army line, and directly hit the Chinese army that has moved to the original position of the breastwork, they went straight to the front under the leadership of Jia Lae Zhen and some leaders, and the place they chose was near the gap opened by Chen Ying.
At this time, the front of the Houjin soldiers slowly reached the icy area of fifty paces, and the Houjin soldiers who were dealing with the attack couldn't care about their feet, and fell countless on the ice in a panic.
Taktan crawled through the icy section with both hands and feet, and turned his head in a panic to see that an archer wearing only cotton armor had just stood up from the ground after falling, and was stabbed by several spears in a row, and the blood all over his body soared, and his life was taken away in an instant, he knelt softly, and when he just fell halfway, he was killed in the neck by a boring palladium, and hung him on the boring palladium, and the back of his neck revealed a small center of boring palladium, dripping a string of blood beads.
Taktan finally couldn't bear it anymore, shouted and followed a group of archers to run backwards, just ran more than twenty steps, a silver dazzling thing in front of him came to him, and heard the screams of the blades and the archers, and several archers who fled in front separated their heads.
Jia La's real roar sounded: "Death to those who retreat!" ”
Taktan shivered, remembered the harsh military discipline of Houjin again, the deep fear of Bayala and military discipline prevailed, a group of armor archers were forced to turn back and rush to the Ming army, Taktan saw that there were spears discarded by other armor soldiers on the ground, and hurriedly went to pick it up, since he was forced to fight hard, at least this is better than the knife, he didn't get it, he was taken away by a person next to him, and the footsteps of Bayala were getting closer and closer, and Taktan didn't dare to delay, so he had to take a shield next to him, and pulled out the knife and rushed away.
Bayala behind them accelerated at the same time, following behind them, slashing at the last person who ran last. The cold light of the spear made Taktan's legs and feet weak, and the spirit of the first few armored soldiers in the front had collapsed, and this group of people in the gap between life and death screamed desperately, alleviating the despair and fear in their hearts, like moths to a fire, crashing into the dense sharp blades on the opposite side.
The terrible howl was endless, a group of armor soldiers were all stabbed without exception, and Tak Tan was only two steps away from the Ming army's attack, and he looked at those armor soldiers with despair in his heart, waiting for fate to come.
Before the Ming army drew out its blades, Taktan rushed through a row of Bayalas with a roar, they rushed with long shields in their hands, resisting those dying Houjin soldiers and crashing straight into the killer team, these strong and fierce Bayala used those cannon fodder to block the sight of the killer team, at this moment like a tank knocked the line of the Wendeng camp open a gap, many soldiers in the first two rows were knocked to the ground by them, and more than a dozen people with shields rushed into the killer team's formation, and the killer team's spears and flag guns became useless, These more than ten white-armored soldiers immediately waved the short-handled axe and one-handed broadsword in their hands, skillfully began to slash and kill the surrounding Ming army, the sophisticated murder weapon brought a rain of blood, and the Bayala behind rushed up at the same time, attacking with spears, maces and other heavy soldiers, stirring up this section of the array into chaos, the left wing of the Ming army was hit by this blow, plus the cavalry that appeared outside, the momentum of the attack slowed down.
Taktan saved his life at the last moment, he was brought to the ground by a rushing bayara, he relied on the last bit of consciousness, flipped to the side, dodged the dozens of feet that followed, and when he raised his head from the ground again, his body and face were covered with viscous blood.
Those Bayalas broke this short line, and the ground was covered with the corpses of the Ming army and Bayala, and the follow-up Bayala began to impact the Ming army next to them, and Taktan saw the back of Ilantai in it.
Elantai slashed down a knife and stick hand, his eyes opened, and he lost a dazzling red, he hurriedly glanced at it, there were more than ten musket formations lined up fifty paces away, they were advancing with the Chinese army banner of the Ming army, there were nearly 100 personal soldiers in the position of the Chinese army, there was a mixed small phalanx and a separate musket phalanx on each wing, and there were dozens of cavalry on the inner side of the two wings.
Ilantai knew that the cavalry was going to deal with the Mongol cavalry on both flanks, and he himself had a more urgent need to deal with, and there was a small phalanx twenty paces in front of him, and he was head-on with the personal soldiers of the 1,000th headquarters and the reserve of a bureau.
Ala-ezhen rushed in through the gap with a group of bayalas and circled behind the line, preparing to attack the first-line killer team from behind. Lu Chuanzong had already noticed the direction of Bayala, and took his own soldiers and reserves to wait in the back, waiting for this group of Bayala to break out of the gap, and the first and second teams fired a volley at the same time.
Their beautiful white armor could not resist the volley of muskets at twenty paces, and immediately fell seven or eight bayaras, and another bayara beside Illanthai was hit in the neck, and blood sprayed all over Illantey's face. Even a fierce Bayala like Ilantai was really frightened by the firearms of this Ming army, he had experienced a hundred battles, and knew that it was useless to be afraid, and he heard Jia La'e really shouting "Shoot arrows!" He stopped calmly.
Elantai took out the bow, picked up a heavy arrow and shot it first, more than 20 Bayala soldiers skillfully and quickly shot out several waves of heavy arrows, the cotton armor of the firearms team could not resist at all, the two firearms teams behind the Ming army fell to the ground one after another, only shot more than ten shots scattered, and then quickly hid in the back row to load, revealing four killer squads, they trotted and hedged, these Bayala were also forced to put down their bows and arrows to face hand-to-hand combat again.
Bayala also suffered heavy losses in these two rounds of shooting, more than a dozen people in front of him were killed and wounded, and Jiala's forehead was really painful, these Bayala were the treasures of each Niulu, and they were also the guarantee of his status, and there were other Jiala and people drawn from various banners, the loss was so great, how to explain when I went back.
On the opposite side of the Ming army's thousand general flags waved, the four musket phalanxes behind them sped up, Jia La's real ring looked around, except for the small gap in the back, his own point Bayala was almost surrounded by the Ming army, he regretted rushing in his heart, he should see the good and take it, with these Bayala cover frontal orderly retreat, he rushed in only to find that it was impossible to break the Ming army's Chinese army, and now he can't retreat, the four killer teams have rushed to the front, and the Bayala people have fought each other, the Ming army on both sides of the gap not only did not escape, He even began to counterattack the white-armored soldiers who were guarding.
Although the garrison was put into the team, the Houjin soldiers on the other fronts did not recover the decline at all, the Jiannu front collapsed on the whole front, and a group of armored soldiers were all over the field outside the city, they lost their armor all the way, and ran back desperately, Jiannu's supervising team could not suppress the bullets, and fled together, they ran back to the place where the horses were parked, grabbed a horse and ran away, and the Houjin Zhongjun finally accepted the result of defeat, and the meaningless Ming Jin sounded and notified all the soldiers in front to retreat.
As soon as the frontal pressure was relaxed, the Ming troops on both sides of the gap in the left flank closed one after another, surrounding Bayala in the middle.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The hooves on both wings of the battle formation sounded like thunder, and a hundred Mongolian cavalry on each side led nearly two hundred tribal soldiers to shuttle back and forth on the flanks.
From time to time, the phalanx of detachments on both sides of the Wenden battalion shot out white smoke to prevent a large group of cavalry from approaching, and the blood on the horses and horses that were hit burst out, and several horses that were hit rolled and neighed on the ground, desperately kicking their hooves, and blood was everywhere under them.
The heavy bullet of the turtledove can easily tear the muscles of men and horses, and there is basically no hope of being saved by it, but the musket does not have the upper hand against the small number of cavalry that wanders. The two flanks were inevitably affected, and the speed slowed down to cope with these cavalry, and the line of the Wenden battalion became a central bulge and the two wings dragged back.
Chen Xin's face turned red with excitement, he had actually won the battle, the Jiannu armor soldiers on the front collapsed, and only the group of white armor on the left flank was still fighting with a few killer flag teams.
But they also dragged down the entire left flank of the Ming army, and did not dare to advance. If the middle and right flank killer teams continue to pursue, their two flanks will not be well covered, Chen Xin looked at the skilled Jiannu on both wings, and knew that Jiannu was also very smart, their cavalry did not come up to directly impact the flank infantry array, but constantly harassed by small forces, and a large force of cavalry stood by to move, holding back the action of the two wings of the Wendeng battalion.
Chen Xin looked at the Jiannu Chinese army again, it was still in the original position, there was still a cavalry there, about a hundred people, if his killer team pursued the scattered armor soldiers, once they broke away from the cover of the two wings, it was very easy to be flanked by these cavalry, and if they were not careful, they might cause heavy losses. The mobility of the cavalry dictated that they could choose the most favorable time to engage the battle, and the infantry was always the passive side in this regard.
The corpses left in front of him made Chen Xin basically satisfied, and a few hundred heads could already allow him to obtain speculative capital, of course, it was best to add those dozens of white-armored soldiers and the armor flag.
"Stop the front, and surround those bayalas."
A golden sound sounded, and the soldiers of the killer team who were not engaged immediately stopped the pursuit, and all of them stayed in place and began to organize the formation, and those with bows took their bows in their hands to prevent the enemy from harassing them.
The Jiannu in front of the 1,000th headquarters had collapsed, and a few killer teams had been dispatched from the front line to besiege those bayalas, and the Chinese army guards also came here to participate in the final annihilation.
After the Ming army was put into reserve, Bayala was trapped around the gap, and the surrounding Ming troops gathered more and more, Ilantai felt despair for the first time, looking at the dense blades, surrounded by his Bayala companions, even by the Hunhe River, he had never been so desperate, these Ming troops did not retreat, and the dense layers of killing were endless, and they would make up for one after falling down, as if they were not afraid of death.
Without waiting for him to think carefully, the two Ming soldiers rushed forward, a flag spear and a spear at the same time, Ilantai's eyes were quick, and the big knife in his hand waved again and again, blocking and retreating, until his back collided with the other bayara. As soon as he turned around in a hurry, all the bayalas were compressed into a ball, and there was no way to retreat.
He stopped, hissing and howling with all his might, the big knife in his hand danced quickly, blocking several spears and boring palladium assassinations in succession, and after many times in a row, his body was already a little weak.
Soon was stabbed in the thigh by a flag gun, between pauses, a boring palladium and quickly killed in front of him, he didn't have time to dodge, dropped the big knife with both hands, and grabbed the horizontal strand in front of the boring palladium, regardless of the palm was pierced by the sharp edge blade on the horizontal strand, relying on a brute force to block the center from piercing into the body, before he could catch his breath, a spear stabbed into his lower abdomen, Ilantai's hand was loosened, and the palladium was also pierced into his chest, the most ferocious Bayala had killed many people, and the angry Ming soldiers around him shouted and stabbed the blade at him again and again, Until he was covered with dense holes.
In the round of assassinations, the middle Bayala became fewer and fewer, they surrounded Jiala Ezhen, no one surrendered, and the other fleeing Houjin troops took advantage of their pinning and fled far away under the cover of the cavalry, only to see countless shaking horse stocks, and the back of the coat chasing wildly.
The remaining three cavalry of Houjin also retreated, watching the killing here from a distance, the Wendeng camp was in a tight array, they were actually frightened, and they didn't dare to come to the rescue at all, until they saw the Jiala banner falling, they also turned around and ran wildly, and soon disappeared.
