Chapter Twenty-Six: Securing the Way Back
Tuhai decided to fight to the death! Tuhai was standing under the banner, he was holding his sword high, and he shouted, "Everyone! The other party is a lot of recruits! You are all veterans of the battlefield, how can you be afraid of them? Rise up and destroy them all! If we lose this battle, we'll have nothing! ”
Hearing Tuhai's shout, they were ready to die when they came, and now they didn't say much, one or two just brandished their sabers and stepped forward.
Indeed, these are new recruits, they have just been trained, and many of them have never been on the battlefield! This army is indeed unstable.
It's just that they have just arrived, and for the time being, they have not been able to draw more people. Otherwise, it won't make them overwhelmed.
Now the situation is that you can't get in, you have to go! After all, you can't afford to hold back and hesitate anymore. When they arrived, they were mobilized before the battle, telling them that they were going to face a ferocious enemy, and that they could only fight this battle with the determination to die.
The more than 30,000 horses were mainly firearms, and the 7,000 cavalry wanted to wait for the firearms to sweep before they launched a new offensive.
The Qing soldiers attacked, and the firearms opened fire together, and the firearms in front of Zhang Jun's formation smoked and fired, and under the strong spray, one after another the Qing soldiers were shot and fell.
One of them was seriously wounded, and as soon as he fell to the ground, he saw his own war horse galloping towards him, and he screamed, trying to get his comrades to stop violating him, but it was still too late!
Horseshoe! There was a bang, although the cavalry on the horse had pulled the reins and did not step on him. But his foot was still hit like this.
Foot injury. And the opponent's horse is fast. Still running forward. The other cavalry also followed, and it was impossible to stop, and as soon as they stopped, they would become the focus of the opponent's firearms.
This time, the Qing soldiers with injured feet will not be able to escape! No, the cavalry that followed behind just stepped in! With a "porphyry", he was hit hard in the chest, and before he could scream, the war horse followed closely. One by one, they came until they trampled him to pulp.
"Shoot!" The gunfire continues! One by one, the bullets were fired at the enemy.
Those who were shot either fell off their horses, or they fell on the horse's back and swallowed the last breath. Of course, there were also bullets that hit the saber, and the saber trembled violently a few times, and then the saber also couldn't catch it steadily, so it fell.
The Eight Banners are about to rush to the front! I only heard Zhang Junzhong shouting: "Everyone can't retreat!" You can't take a step back! We will fight to the death! ”
With such a shout, who will retreat? Naturally, he fought bravely and killed until the last moment.
The shields were erected to protect the birds, and the spears and halberds were ready at any time, and their faces were full of expressions of fighting to the death! They shouted: "Fight! ”
The conflict begins! First the arrows. The soldier holding the shield did not hesitate to use his body to protect the bird's hand, of course, the veteran had nothing.
But the recruits were scared. The shield in his hand was unstable, he fell, and even hit his own foot!
Of course, it is time for veterans to educate the new recruits to encourage them to continue fighting, not to be afraid, and not to back down. As long as you kill the red eye, you won't be afraid!
Of course, they don't have the ability to retreat, the back is really pressed, and you can't escape if you want to! can only fight to the end.
"Hold on!" There are also those who use erected shields to support and resist, and they will not take half a step back.
As soon as the shield falls, soldiers will stand up, and they will use their flesh and blood to build a new line of defense.
Not to mention the veterans who take the lead! The veteran still used the most common trick, rolling under the horse's belly and cutting off the horse's feet to make the horse hit the ground, and it was a cavalryman who overturned the horse. This trick, although it is dangerous, can also work.
"See? We can do it! We are all children of poor families! Only by making military achievements can the fate of the family be changed! We can make life better for our families! ”
Yes! Most of these newly recruited soldiers were born as private slaves or children of poor families, they had brothers and sisters, but none of them had only children, and their obsession with making meritorious contributions to change the fate of their families would be much stronger than others.
It is driven by this strong desire to change their fate that they become more eager to win and become full of fighting power.
There is a more important point, many of them have a great hatred for the Qing army, after the Qing army entered the customs, it was burning, killing and looting all kinds of evil, of course they remember this revenge, they have long wanted to take revenge, now there is a chance, who will miss the revenge?
In order to avenge the revenge of parents, brothers and sisters, wives and children, even if it is to lose one's own life and exchange one's life for one's life, it is not hesitating! Naturally, it's a deadly, lethal way of playing!
The Qing army thought that the recruits could be defeated quickly, but now they realized that they were wrong, they fought very tenaciously, and they could even be said to be outlaws!
At the same time, seven thousand Zhang's cavalry are now dispatched! They attacked from the flank, and Tu Hai of course had to guard against the cavalry attack, and he also sent troops to stop it.
Tu Hai thought that those recruits would be defeated soon, but now the situation is that they can't be defeated, they are very tenacious, it seems that they really underestimate themselves.
Tu Hai also gritted his teeth, he didn't want to admit defeat, if he was defeated again and again, there was no point in fighting again.
He wanted to die here, and he couldn't let the shame go back to Dorgon. Tu Hai pounced, Tu Hai was desperate, and the rest of the Qing army also worked hard.
Suddenly, the shouting was shocking. It's just that I didn't expect that a cavalry of more than 1,000 people from the Ordos Department appeared here, they were ordered to help prevent it, and now the battle is fierce, of course they have to go into battle, but they are ordered not to go into battle too quickly, and after a while, although there are few people, they can also play a great key role.
No, the number of Qing troops was small, although they fought very bravely, and saw that the other side had another army coming, I don't know if there will be a steady stream of soldiers to kill it, like this, the Qing army is fighting very hard, and I don't want to hold on so hard, I just want to end it quickly, and then I will flash people.
There are constantly generals asking for Tu Hai, Tu Hai looks at the battle situation, he also understands that it is difficult to win, rather than burying another 10,000 cavalry, it is better to retreat first! It's just a pity that this plan can't be achieved, so I can only find another plan.
Thinking of this, Tuhai quickly gave the order, the army retreated, and the Eight Banners moved quickly. If these people want to destroy them, it will be difficult to do it, and besides, Zhang's army is mainly infantry, and when they see the enemy retreating, they stare dryly, and they can't catch up if they want to.
Since this army has been repulsed, it is responsible for ensuring the stability of the rear and preventing the enemy from taking the opportunity to seize the rear, thus cutting off the retreat.
Tuhai had no choice but to go back, and he joined up with the cavalry of the Horqin Division, so that there would be a stronger cavalry team, and they could come to Songjin to listen to the tune, hoping for a change.
Wu Keshan saw Tu Hai coming, he was also surprised, how could Zhang Biwu calculate their clever plan, if this plan can succeed and cut off Huang Qi's back road, then all the Mongolian ministries will turn around and support them, but now that it is not successful, what else do they talk about?
If you can protect yourself, it's a very good thing, don't go, and wait for Huang Qi to eliminate him?
Wu Keshan was helpless, so he had no choice but to take a large group of men and horses towards the territory of the Manchu Qing in order to meet the Manchus.
After Huang Qi heard the news that the cavalry he had reserved and the soldiers who happened to be going to the front line had joined forces to defeat the enemy, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, if it weren't for Xuan Jianhao's proposal, this time it would have been a big one! Thankfully, everything passed and was uneventful.
Huang Qi had to spread the news to the Mongol tribes, telling them that if they were not involved in this matter, he would not have anything to do with them, and that Huang Qi would stay a little longer, and he would also leave with his troops.
After all, Huang Qi didn't want to stay here for too long, and staying too long was not what he wanted. If you see it, you can accept it, and you can do it.
This good news quickly spread to Zhang Biwu, Zhang Biwu heard it, he was overjoyed, he jumped up with joy, fortunately escaped again, if it wasn't for Xuan Jianhao to find out in advance, he wanted to win, it was really not an easy task, maybe he would fall into passivity again.
won a big victory, Zhang Biwu didn't tell Dolgon, how could he be worthy of Dolgon?
Zhang Biwu asked people to go to the city of Jinzhou and shouted loudly, just to see what kind of reaction Dolgon had.
Not to mention, this victory is a big show off by Zhang Biwu to Dolgon, there is a lot of what you Dolgon has to do, what are the tricks, if you can do it, just use it!
This put a lot of pressure on Dolgon, Dolgon was in the city, his expression was ugly, he was very angry, how could this clever plan be seen through by Zhang Biwu again?
It is said that Tuhai is not the kind of person who is frivolous, but he is not successful! It's really frustrating!
What other strategies can be used in such a situation? This is to rely on the Russian Empire, which was ambitious, often called the gendarme of Western countries, always acting as the vanguard of the anxious.
If Dorgon hadn't been able to, he wouldn't have been. As for Portugal, the Netherlands, and England, Dolgon will still ask them for help again, and let them jointly send troops to disturb Zhang Biwu. (To be continued......)
