Chapter 231: Namu Zhong's Invitation
When the group of post-gold soldiers at the front were shrouded in the shock wave and smoke of the explosion, Dolgon, who had a calm personality, could no longer help but roar loudly.
"What is this, how can this be?"
Although Dolgon is only in his twenties this year, he has long understood after so many years of fighting, the hundreds of archers who rushed forward first are finished, and these elite Eight Banners disciples will never come back.
"Ten thousand enemies, this is ten thousand enemies!" Yue Tuo's voice sounded next to Dolgon, "I saw this kind of 10,000-strong enemy used by the Yingzhou army when I was in Hunyuan Prefecture, but I didn't expect this kind of thing to be used like this!" Yue Tuo's voice was full of pain, remorse and chagrin, and Haoge on the side also had a very bad face, just now he saw that he could rush into the phalanx of the Ming army, and the Yingzhou army relied on this thing to beat his cavalry to the ground and fled, and the victory that was about to arrive flew away like a boiled duck, and now this damn thing has appeared again.
Ever since the Ming Dynasty version of the grenade was equipped in the army, Yue Yang thought about how to maximize his power. Since the 10,000 enemies were filled with weaker black powder, in order to ensure the power, Yue Yang had to increase the charge. The increase in weight meant that even the strongest soldier could only throw a distance of twenty or thirty paces, and in order to maximize the power of the 10,000 enemies, Yue Yang came up with a way to use a small catapult to eject the 10,000 enemies.
The catapult is actually a miniature version of the trebuchet, this thing is not heavy, it is less than a hundred pounds, and a large car can be loaded with two to run around.
With this small catapult, the 10,000-strong enemy became a terrifying weapon of killing, and when the rows of catapults threw dozens of 10,000 enemies, a web of death was immediately formed seventy or eighty paces away in front of the phalanx, and anyone who tried to pass through this net of fire would have to pay with their lives.
"Boom ......"
A four-pound weighted version of 10,000 enemies exploded under a shield cart that had just been pushed up, and the violent explosion and violent shock wave blew up this seemingly sturdy shield cart several meters upwards, and when it fell heavily on the ground, the shield cart had already broken into several pieces, and the six archers loaded inside also died on the spot with a violent shock wave that shook the seven orifices and bled to death on the spot.
There are many people who have the same fate as this shield car. Before these originally murderous Houjin soldiers could confront the enemy, they were killed by a murderous weapon from the Ming Dynasty.
Looking at the Houjin sergeant who was wailing in the explosion, Dolgon turned his head to Yue Tuo with a stern expression and said, "You can't fight anymore, even if we fill in everyone like this, it won't help, hurry up and withdraw the troops!" Dorgon's tone was inquiring, but there was no doubt about it.
"I agree, it's true that you can't fight anymore!" Yue Tuo also took a deep breath, "Uncle Fourteen, let's order the withdrawal of troops." β
Yue Tuo and Dolgon were both rare people in the Houjin elite who were good at fighting and strategic, and when they saw the scene ahead, they immediately realized that if they didn't withdraw their troops immediately, they would really have to fold here today. Both Dorgon and Yueto agreed with the withdrawal. Naturally, there was no suspense in the matter, and as a series of mournful horns sounded, the Houjin soldiers who were still charging in the face of artillery fire retreated back one by one as if they were amnesty.
But the road to retreat is not so smooth, seeing that the Hounu is going to withdraw, the Ming army will naturally not be polite, those artillery, firecrackers are more happy, when the Houjin army finally withdrew from the formation, looking at the neat team before the attack has now become sparse, Yue Tuo and Dolgon are distressed. In the ranks that attacked this time. Yue Tuo's red flag and Dolgon's white flag each accounted for the same, and the 3,000 people who went out before now came back less than 2,000, which means that they lost thousands of men and horses in the offensive operation just now, although most of these thousands of people were Korean, Mongolian, Han and other cannon fodder troops. They only lost three or four hundred people, but these people who lost were all the elite of the banner, and those archers, infantry armor, and horse armor did not take six or seven years to train, and now hundreds of them died at once. This is not a trivial matter for the sparsely populated Eight Banners.
Well, distress is distress, but people have to continue to face reality. Dolgon took a long breath, thought for a while and said to Yue Tuo and Haoge: "We can't fight like this anymore, the firearms of the Yingzhou army are too powerful, if we continue to fight like this, I'm afraid that even if we can break through the Ming army's big array, our men and horses will almost die." β
Yue Tuo also sighed, "Let's set up camp first, and then settle down!" β
A big battle was subsided in this way, the Houjin army retreated for ten miles and camped next to a lake, seeing the retreating Houjin army, there were bursts of earth-shattering cheers in the Ming army's large array.
This is a costly victory, at least in the eyes of the people of the Chahar tribe, in today's battle, the Chahar tribe died nearly 3,000 people, although the Houjin army also suffered more than 1,000 casualties, but they also know that it was fought by the Ming army, and they have nothing to do with it, on the contrary, the expression of the Chahar tribe today can be described as terrible, and the two sides are in stark contrast.
Namu Zhong, who was very uncomfortable, returned to the tribe and locked himself in the tent alone and did not come out, at this time Namu Zhong was a little messy, although he had already expressed to Yue Yang in public today that he would look forward to the Ming Horse in the future, and Yue Yang also made it clear that he would accept them. But Namu Zhong understands that if she really thinks that she can call Yue Yang's sincere help with these two promises, then she is too naΓ―ve, there is no free lunch in the world, this sentence is not only understood by men, but also by women.
"How can we make this Ming army commander accept him?" Namu Zhong has been thinking hard about this problem......
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
In the evening, the lights come on
An envoy came to the camp of the Ming army to meet Yue Yang, and brought Namu Zhong's words, inviting Yue Yang to Namu Zhong's tent for a banquet.
"My lord, that girl is the only one who went over alone, I'm afraid I didn't have a good heart, you can get a place." After the messenger left, Shunbao on the side said with some doubts.
"I'm not afraid of this." Yue Yang shook his head, "I naturally wanted to bring Chen Dazhi and his personal guards with me in the past, and those Mongolians wouldn't be stupid enough to treat me like this, I just can't figure out what kind of medicine is sold in this Namu Zhong's gourd."
