Chapter 158: Houjin Annihilation Battle (1)

Man Gui was born in the Mongolian nationality, but he was a real loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty. Whether it's a field battle or a hard battle, he can do it.

It's just that I've been captured once, and it's not okay not to be punished. So it is naturally impossible for the original deputy general to be a meritorious general, and it is okay to wear a crime and make meritorious service in the scout camp.

This time he went north, as the last experienced general, he naturally took the cavalry of the five hundred scout battalions to the north. These scouts are all carefully trained, and their combat effectiveness is not inferior to that of the Guanning Iron Cavalry. The difference is that the iron riders are heavy armor, and they are light armor.

The battle between the two sides began on the side of the scouts.

Man Gui's enemy is named Dai Shan, the second son of the wild boar skin, if it were not for his support of Huang Taiji, I am afraid that he would be the new emperor of the Later Jin. It is precisely because of his old age and dignity that he has been jealous and suppressed by Huang Taiji. Now he is also a Heshuo Baylor, ranking first among the four Baylors, but he can only be the captain of the scout force.

In fact, this is also the result of his request for war, originally according to Huang Taiji's meaning, he should be in the Chinese army. Dai Shan may pose a threat to him, but Dai Shan's ability is something he can't deny. He needs Daishan's fighting power, especially in such a critical war.

But Dai Shan is not used to the new war mode, he is used to the battle mode of Houjin left by his father.

In the Chinese army, there is no way to give full play to its own ability, and only the vanguard of the scouts can have a way to maximize the combat mode of the old Manchurians. Therefore, let him be the captain of the scout troops, and he commanded a thousand scout troops, all of whom were real horse combat elites.

As the search range increased, soon Jin's scout troops began to meet with Daming's scout troops. In fact, the most important thing is that the falcons released early on both sides have already begun the initial battle.

On the Ming side, only Mangui has a falcon; On Houjin's side, there are more than a dozen Hai Dongqing acting as the eyes of the scouts.

As a result, it is obvious that the Mongolian Eagle King, who was painstakingly domesticated by Man Gui, was besieged and killed by more than a dozen Haidongqing. In fact, even if it is one-on-one, ordinary falcons are not Hai Dongqing's opponents, you must know that it is Hai Dongqing, who is said to be one out of 100,000 condors.

The sight range of the Ming side was reduced to the maximum, but the Houjin side confirmed the location of the Ming army very clearly.

The dominance of the scout war is now in the hands of Hou Jin.

Dai Shan didn't give the scouts of the Ming Dynasty a chance to gather together at all, and besieged the small detachments that were scattered to reconnoiter with the help of cavalry shooting.

With the strong bow in his hand, he fired arrows at the enemy's body from afar. But it turned out that the arrow hung on the enemy's body and did not go inside. I really have to admire the copycat ability of Chinese craftsmen. In a few months, it perfectly imitated the body armor of the Qin State, and it also had the effect of releasing arrows. But to really face the latest Great Qin Fire Gun, there is still only a hard life. However, at this moment, it is also very useful for those arrows of Shanghou Jin.

At the very least, the lives of the scouts are ensured to the greatest extent.

The scout is not a vegetarian either, and the long gun in his hand has long been raised, but it is just a matter of aiming and shooting. The opponent is right in front of you, and you only need a little aim to shoot out. The performance of this kind of Lu Mi Gun purchased from the Qin State is indeed very good, with a hit rate of more than 80% and a very stable trajectory. So a round of shots went out, causing the deaths of at least five Houjin cavalrymen. You know, this scout team is only ten people.

"Raise the alarm, fight and retreat!" The captain of the scout team is also considered a knowledgeable person, and immediately gives the order.

The arrow was shot out, exploding a firework in mid-air. Maybe the light of the fire is not very beautiful, but the sound is made according to the loudest Cheng dù. As soon as it was sent, it could be faintly heard for nearly a hundred miles. Besides, the light is not weak, and it can be seen directly within thirty miles. This is an arrow, tell all the surrounding scouts, and the enemy's scout army is here.

Then, in some distant places, some arrows were fired one after another, and that was in the way of the arrows, telling everyone around them the enemy's position. Each arrow has its own unique meaning, and different arrows will have different effects. Based on the arrow closest to them, the large army began to move.

"Damn it, keep shooting!" Dai Shan was very unhappy, why couldn't the bow of the Dajin warrior shoot through the thin layer of cloth armor.

"Shoot back!" Seeing that the enemy was approaching, the scouts of the Ming army naturally wanted to let them know what a wheel fire gun was!

The handcuff was taken out and began to shoot flames at the enemy, and the flames flashed at the muzzle, representing a living life, which may have been harvested directly. In fact, this attack did take the lives of the seven Houjin scouts.

The scouts of the Ming Dynasty are closing the circle as fast as possible, and if the scouts of Houjin do not act again, they will fall into passivity.

Dai Shan couldn't figure it out, was the times changing too fast, or was he really outdated?

He just can't get rid of it, the glory of the post-gold cavalry shooting, and the hard shell of the cold weapon era model.

What can't be brave is to hatch inside the eggshell, and that can only die in the eggshell.

Dai Shan chose melee combat, and he wanted to use horse combat to prove that even if Houjin did not improve, his horse combat ability was still invincible in the world!

What awaited him was round after round of shooting. At one point, the helmet on his head was shot through a hole, and the bullet grazed his scalp.

All he knew was rushing forward, and the scouts of Houjin were also rushing forward.

The two sides fought together, and the Houjin soldiers in leather armor finally defeated the Ming army scouts wearing body armor. But this was also the first time, and the Later Jin needed to use ten times the strength of the Ming army to be able to defeat the enemy's campaign. Of course, it's hard to say whether a war between scouts is a battle or not.

The scouts of the Ming began to surround themselves, even if there were only five hundred people.

Houjin's scouts began to retreat, and no one would be stupid enough to stay here and be surrounded. The most important thing is that Dai Shan seems to have woken up, he needs to make himself sober and fresh, and really open his eyes to see the world and see the new type of war today.

If he can't even reflect, then he's a Baylor in vain.

The battlefield was so messy that Houjin couldn't even take the bodies of their compatriots. When the scouts of the Ming Dynasty came to the battlefield, they saw the remains of ten of their own scouts, as well as the remains of nearly a hundred Houjin Tartars.

Sure enough, the war changed...... Once upon a time, it took more than fifty Ming soldiers to be able to kill a Houjin Tartar, and now ten people kill an average of ten each. Old, it seems that I am really old...... Or are times changing too fast?

Man Gui looked at the qiē in front of him, and he felt as if he didn't know how to fight anymore......

The scout war, thus declared over, and in fact the armies of both sides, had begun to approach. Seeing that it was getting late, it was naturally impossible to launch a night attack.

Encampment, that's the inevitable result. Everyone needs to recharge their batteries and set up the battlefield to cope with the upcoming battle of national fortunes.

said, Huang Taiji and Lu Xiangsheng, and even Chongzhen, who is far away in Beijing, and Zhang Hongbin, who is in Chang'an, all know that this is a big gamble. Those who win will swallow up those who lose, and those who lose will destroy the country. Even if the Ming Dynasty may not perish, Chongzhen's power will inevitably perish.

This is a gamble of national fortune, a real big gamble. Gamblers really gamble to the eye, and their madness is not necessarily worse than that of an island nation.
