Chapter 129: The Soft Namu Bell
Accompanied by the sound of horses' hooves, there were bursts of loud shouts, and with the order to retreat from Haoge, a cavalry of thousands of Ming troops appeared in front of everyone, led by Wu Chengfeng, the commander of the cavalry battalion of the Yingzhou Army. This is the second time he has led the cavalry to engage Hauge today.
Thousands of cavalrymen chanted the slogan of "Wan Sheng" and rushed towards the Houjin cavalry, which was still in chaos, and this trend instantly swallowed up many Houjin cavalry who rushed too far ahead.
Objectively speaking, the individual soldiers of the Houjin cavalry are higher than the cavalry of the Yingzhou army, but it is true that the battle depends on bravery, but this is not absolute, and the military discipline, equipment and morale of the two armies are the most important factors. Although the Houjin cavalry is brave, but at this time, the vast majority of them have not recovered from the explosion just now, and the war horses under their crotches have not been appeased, and more than 2,000 people are scattered on the wide grassland, and the east and west are in a mess.
Seeing that the Houjin cavalry was shot down one by one and dismounted, Haoge's steel teeth were about to be crushed, and he fled backwards under the escort of dozens of Goshha, while gritting his teeth and cursing this Yingzhou cavalry that defeated him twice in a row.
The desolate and sad retreat horn continued to sound on the battlefield, although the surviving Houjin cavalry was extremely unwilling, but in the face of the swarming Ming cavalry, they had to urge the horses to flee towards the formation.
When Hauge fled to his own camp and counted the men, he finally couldn't help but cry out loud after being rude and cruel by nature, and this time he lost more than 700 Jurchen elites. Unlike last time, Dolgon and Yue Tuo miraculously did not open their mouths to scold him, but looked at the large array of the Ming army and frowned.
Although they didn't witness the battle just now because it was too far away, countless outposts responsible for observation along the way had already reported the battle situation to them, and they were also very helpless about such a result. Objectively speaking, Hauge did not have much responsibility for the failure this time, and if he wanted to be obedient, he could only blame the endless firearms of the Yingzhou army. Who would have thought that they would throw 10,000 enemies in front of their own phalanx so disregarding the danger of blowing up themselves, and the huge explosion sound would even startle people, let alone war horses?
In particular, the war horse is also a very sensitive animal, any too loud noise, fire or too intense movements of the riders will cause them to be frightened, and once the war horse is frightened on the battlefield, it will be a terrible disaster for the riders. In another time and space, although there were still cavalry active on the battlefield until the twentieth century, all the war horses that could go to the battlefield at that time were specially trained in explosions and gunfires, and only warhorses that were accustomed to explosions and gunfire could go to the battlefield. And in this era when thermal weapons first appeared, the Jurchens naturally did not think of this, and they did not have the conditions to conduct such training on war horses, so they were immediately blinded when they encountered such a situation.
And just when Hauge was in pain. Namu Zhong and Bart and others in the Great Array of the Ming Dynasty looked at the sparse Mongolian cavalry that had regrouped, and they were also crying loudly.
After the Mongol cavalry regrouped, Balt sent people to count the number of people, and now the original army of more than 6,000 people has lost nearly half of it in less than half an hour, which means that Namu Zhong can no longer know what this means, which means that their tribe can only barely defend itself for at least five years, and any tribe with a little strength can bully them, which is undoubtedly worse for the already weakened Chahar tribe.
Looking at Namu Zhong and several Fujin who were crying with pear blossoms and rain, Yue Yang just watched silently, and did not say anything to comfort him. In Yue Yang's opinion, the appearance of these cavalry of the Chahar tribe just now was really too bad, so bad that they were driven away like sheep by the Houjin cavalry, which was only half of their number, and if it wasn't for the timely shooting of the Yingzhou army to drive away the Mongolian cavalry who were trying to storm the big formation, I am afraid that even I would have to suffer. The phrase "pig-like teammates" has been vividly embodied just now.
It's not just Namu Bell at this time. Even Si Qintu, who had been the main force to surrender to Houjin, was dumb, and stood aside dejectedly and silently. Judging from the battle just now, the Jurchens had a trace of pity for them, judging from their brutal posture of driving the Mongol cavalry to attack the Ming army's large array. They clearly want to put the Chahar tribe to death. But that's fine, from now on, if anyone in the Chahar tribe wants to surrender to the Jurchens again, they will have to think about it.
After a while, Namu Zhong, whose eyes were swollen like peaches from crying, opened his misty eyes and sobbed to Yue Yang, "Lord Yue. What do we do next? We all listen to you in the Chahar tribe! ”
As soon as Namu Zhong said this, Yue Yang looked at her with a smile for a while before he smiled: "Doro Dafujin, this time you no longer consider returning to the Jurchens?" ”
Namu Zhong's face turned sad, and he said hatefully: "The Jurchens regard my Chahar tribe as pigs and sheep, slaughtering countless of our warriors, how can we submit to these cruel butchers." ”
After Namu Zhong's words came out, all the nobles of the Chahar tribe and Fu Jin were silent, and it was obvious that the Jurchens' actions just now had completely chilled their hearts.
Yue Yang nodded, and his face softened: "Since this is the case, then from now on we are allies who fight side by side, since we are allies, then we will naturally fulfill our obligations as allies, and we will naturally help your tribe if it is in trouble." ”
Listening to Yue Yang's words, Namu Zhong glanced at the high-level officials of the surrounding Chahar tribes, and his originally slightly nervous expression was also relaxed. Now they have been killed by the Jurchens, if Yue Yang abandons them at this time, they really don't know what to do, even if the Jurchens don't come to attack them, I'm afraid it won't be long before they will be swallowed up by other Mongolian tribes who heard the news, and the current Chahar tribe really can't withstand any blows.
While Yue Yang was talking, a high-pitched horn sounded in front of him, after the battle just now, Dolgon and Yue Tuo finally stopped playing any means, they understood that in the face of the Yingzhou army that was waiting for them, they had no other way but to attack hard, after all, the war was fought in the final analysis, and any strategy must be based on the corresponding strength.
In the face of an opponent like Yue Yang, Yue Tuo and Dolgon also used their whole body solutions. Not only did they bring in shield carts and heavy shields from the baggage teams behind, but they also dropped those cannon fodder troops. These cannon fodder troops included the Korean and Mongolian servants and auxiliaries who depended on the survival, and they attacked the Ming army together with the Houjin vests, infantry armor, dead soldiers and other troops.
With the sound of countless low and high-pitched horns, the shield carts slowly advanced towards the Yingzhou army formation under the impetus of cannon fodder, followed by auxiliary soldiers holding heavy shields and a famous archer.
Looking at the Houjin soldiers and horses surging in front of him, the faces of the Mongolian Fujin and generals standing beside Yue Yang began to change. Siqintu couldn't help but tremble and said, "Yue ...... General Yue, the Jurchens are planning to destroy us in one fell swoop, what should we do? ”
Yue Yang glanced at her meaningfully, and said lightly: "The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, since the Jurchens are coming to die, we will just beat them back." ”
Siqintu couldn't help but say angrily: "Fight back...... You're talking about lightness...... How can it be so easy. ”
The bravery of the Jurchens had long taken root in Siqintu's heart, and at this moment, when she saw what seemed to be an overwhelming surge of soldiers and horses, her heart immediately panicked.
"Boom ......"
As Yue Yang's words fell, a rumbling cannon sound soon sounded in front, and it turned out that the twelve six-pounder Hongyi artillery pieces that Yue Yang had arranged in front of the formation began to threaten.
After the Ming army opened fire, a Jia Lazhangjing, who was urging the auxiliaries to speed up, immediately saw but saw smoke rising from the side of the Ming army's infantry battle array, and one by one round iron balls came straight towards them, viciously hitting their own formations.
The power of artillery is enormous, and in front of artillery, no matter how brave the person is, he must bow his proud head. As soon as these artillery pieces came over, they immediately caused a commotion among the Houjin army, and the neighing and screaming of those wounded soldiers or horses further severely damaged the morale of these Houjin people.
This Jia Lazhangjing desperately yelled at the surroundings, "Don't mess up, calm me down, and those who move will be killed!" ”
At this time, the Houjin army had advanced to a place less than five hundred paces away from the Ming army, and at this distance, the artillery of the Yingzhou army could easily hit them.
The commander of the artillery battalion raised his saber and hissed and shouted with all his might: "Open the cannon!" ”
The deafening sound of artillery sounded, thirty-two tiger squatting cannons, twelve Hongyi six-pounder cannons opened fire together, in the whistling sound of a large group of shells, dozens of iron balls of different sizes smashed into the formation of the Jin soldiers behind them, smashing them even more crying dad and mother, the originally neatly arranged formation was swept away by the dense rain of bullets. Especially those Hongyi six-pounder cannons, the dozen or so six-pounder iron pellets they shot with the cannon were even more lethal, and anyone who was rubbed and touched was either missing an arm or a broken leg.
Looking at the tragic situation in his own army, Dolgon's face turned pale for a while, and he stared at the front and muttered: "Yingzhou's firearms are so powerful? ”
Yue Tuo closed his eyes and took a deep breath of the air filled with the faint smell of gunsmoke, his face full of bitterness.
This is the feeling, this feeling he had already tasted under the city of Hunyuan Prefecture last year, and today he smelled this smell again, it was a bitter and bloody taste. (To be continued......)
