(Thank you Hua Xiaoyun Xiaoday QXG for voting for your valuable monthly ticket, thank you Hua Xiaoyun for your reward, thank you.) )
At three o'clock, a large flock of birds came towards the ambush site.
Houjin Tartar really did not send scouts, and the march had no scruples.
Zheng Jinhong, who is in charge of the overall command, has a calm expression, he has learned a lot of things by the young master's side for so many years, and what he learned the most is not afraid of danger, the more the big war comes, the calmer he is, probably because he is in charge of the overall affairs of the Zheng family's army, he has far surpassed Yang He and Liu Zeqing and others in this regard, you must know that it is not easy for Zheng Jinhong to do this, Yang He and Liu Zeqing are both professional soldiers, Zheng Jinhong is a monk halfway, and after the establishment of the nursing home, he really came into contact with the army.
The cavalry of the 30,000 Zheng family army waited quietly, since the Houjin Tartar had no scruples, then the Zheng family army soldiers did not need to be particularly cautious, but the matters emphasized by Zheng Xunrui were firmly remembered by every Zheng family army.
10,000 Yulin border troops, mainly foot soldiers, but in the process of fighting with the Liukou, a lot of war horses were captured, so many of these foot soldiers also got the captured war horses, followed the Zheng family army soldiers to carry out training, has the basic quality of cavalry, their main task, is to block the fleeing Houjin Tartars, and start a life-and-death struggle with them, their responsibility is to give the Houjin Tartars the biggest blow, heavy damage to the Houjin Tartars.
It is basically not established for foot soldiers to fight cavalry, they can't catch up if they win, and they can't run away if they lose, so the Yulin border army is equipped with a certain amount of cavalry, which is also convenient for the Zhengjia army to be able to pursue the fleeing Houjin Tartars after the Zheng family army has an advantage.
At the end of summer, the sky is already bright.
Yellow sand in the sky in the distance. I was able to see it.
The large flock of birds and the yellow sand in the sky indicate that the Houjin Tartar Brigade has arrived, which indicates that the battle is coming, and the soldiers of the Zheng family army are used to such a scene, but today's situation is somewhat special. Most of the soldiers were silent, even the war horses under their crotches felt the silence of their masters, and stood there quietly, without superfluous movements.
Zheng Jinhong gave an order to the heralds beside him.
"Hurry up and report to your lordship, the Houjin Tartar is about to enter the ambush position. The Zheng family army is about to attack, please give the order to attack. ”
The herald soon returned, bringing Zheng Xunrui's words, and it was up to Zheng Jinhong to decide when to attack.
Zheng Jinhong's face became more solemn and dignified. He looked at Yang He, Liu Zeqing, Wang Yuncheng, Ma Xianglin and others beside him, and spoke word by word.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I won't say much about the importance of the battle, after the golden Tartars all entered the ambush circle, the Zheng family army launched an attack, and after the rain of artillery and arrows, the drums sounded. All the officers and men charged, and the heralds no longer shuttled between the battalions to give orders, so as not to delay time. The 15,000 soldiers led by Deputy General Yang launched a charge from the right, the 15,000 soldiers led by Deputy General Liu launched a charge from the left, and the 10,000 Yulin border army led by General Wang Sen held the entrance to the hills. The direction of export and import can be appropriately released. Even if you persist to the last person, you have to resist. We must not allow the Houjin Tartars to reconcile with the five thousand people behind them. ”
After the Golden Tartar finally entered the ambush circle.
After seeing Houjin Tartar with his own eyes, the feeling that he had never had appeared in Zheng Jinhong's heart, he finally understood why the young master repeatedly emphasized that this was an extraordinary battle.
Houjin Tartar is born in a nomadic tribe, Nurhachi founded Houjin is Wanli forty-four years, so far it is only twenty years, but Houjin Tartar has become a fearful army of the Ming army, and its bravery does not need to be doubted.
Training and participating in training for many years, Zheng Jinhong has a relatively deep understanding of the tactical literacy of the cavalry, the cavalry relies on team combat, its impact mobility and momentum are by no means comparable to the foot soldiers, every battle, the cavalry that kind of indomitable momentum, often can overwhelm the foot soldiers in an instant, so as to achieve absolute victory.
The Houjin Tartar team is neat, the domineering revealed in the team is extremely obvious, there are absolutely no bloated people in the team, almost all of them are wearing cotton armor, and every Houjin Tartar can see arrogance on his face.
After 25,000 years, the Golden Tartars finally entered the ambush circle.
This team also shows an indomitable momentum, which is not much different from Zheng Jiajun in this regard.
Zheng Jinhong personally raised the yellow flag in his hand.
Twenty Fur Machines instantly began to roar, and the cannonballs whistled towards the ranks of the Houjin Tartars, and at the same time, a rain of arrows began to appear, overwhelming and dense.
After being attacked, the team was a little chaotic, which they never imagined, and there were still Ming troops in Gyeonggi who dared to attack.
After a brief panic, the Houjin Tartars quickly began to adjust their formation, their queue pulled apart, the personnel were no longer so concentrated, and a group of Houjin Tartars had already charged in the direction of the artillery and arrow rain.
Zheng Jinhong had a cruel smile on his face, the Houjin Tartars were indeed well-trained, but it was a pity that they met Zheng Jiajun, and this time they had to pay a heavy price.
There were about 1,000 Houjin Tartars who were impacted, and in the face of the dense rain of arrows in all directions, their decision-making was obviously wrong, and there were constantly people screaming that the arrows fell off their horses, and these people couldn't imagine why there was such a tricky rain of arrows when they were dying.
The commander of the Houjin Tartar obviously found that the situation was not right, the opponent's arrow rain was too powerful, and if it was such a charge, the casualties would continue to increase, and immediately issued an order to retreat.
Houjin Tatars changed the direction of the charge, ignoring the artillery and arrow rain, and all turned around and headed in the direction of Baodi County, they did not choose to charge in the direction of the exit of the hills, and turned their heads and charged back.
There were constantly Houjin Tartars falling off their horses in the midst of shell explosions and arrow rains, but the momentum of Houjin Tatars' charge slowed down at all, and seeing that Houjin Tartars were about to rush out, the 7,000 Yulin border troops waiting at the entrance must be difficult to resist.
The rumbling drums finally sounded, and the momentum was overwhelming.
The earth began to tremble.
This is the signal of a large-scale cavalry attack, and the Houjin Tartars did not expect when such a large-scale uprising occurred, where did these Ming troops come from, and the Ming army did not seem to have such a large-scale uprising.
The troops led by Yang He and Liu Zeqing began an overall charge from the left and right directions.
Later, the Golden Tartars finally saw the dense cavalry, these cavalrymen wearing the uniforms of the Ming army, when they charged, they did not make a sound, all they could hear was the sound of horses' hooves, as well as spears and spears.
Of course, the Houjin Tartars understood that cavalry combat was all about impact and momentum, and if the left and right flanks of the team were attacked, if they continued to charge forward, they would inevitably suffer heavy killings.
The speed at which the Houjin Tartars adjusted the queue was very fast, but it was a pity that such an adjustment put them at a disadvantage in terms of the momentum of the charge, which was unavoidable.
The impact appeared in an instant, and the sound of the crash echoed throughout the hilly area.
The fierce battle began in an instant.
As soon as the battle began, the soldiers of the Zheng family army had the advantage, and the speed of their impact was extremely fast, instantly tearing two big gaps in the Houjin Tartars' team.
The Houjin Tartars, who were rampant in Gyeonggi, did not expect that the Ming army would dare to take the initiative to attack them, and they were still in the field of fighting, but after a short panic, they quickly threw themselves into the fight.
People kept falling off their horses, and blood was spilled instantly.
There are Houjin Tartars who fell, and there are also soldiers of the Zheng family's army.
The screams also appeared, but what made the Houjin Tartars feel frightened was that even if their opponents had fallen off their horses, there was no sound, and the screams were all made by their companions, what kind of Ming army was this, why had they never seen it before.
Abatai was guarded by his own soldiers, and there was no danger for the time being.
The sudden appearance of the Ming army, he was unusually surprised, he entered the customs several times to fight, the Ming army in his mind, are weak, at most can hold the city, field combat is not to think about it, but the Ming army in front of him, the combat effectiveness is not weak at all, and can even be described as strong, you must know that he led an army of 30,000, that is, in the face of more than 100,000 Ming troops, will not be afraid, can guarantee the victory of the battle.
But the facts in front of us are indefensible.
After a short period of consternation, Abatai jumped like thunder, the dignified cavalry of the Qing Dynasty, the powerful Eight Banners of the world, when have they ever been afraid, even if the Ming army is strong, the children of the Eight Banners must completely exterminate these Ming troops.
Abatai gave an extremely stupid order, and this order also made a decisive change in the tide of the battle.
Abatai asked the army under his command not to retreat and fight against the Ming army.
Moreover, Abatai also ordered his own soldiers to participate in the battle, and he must teach the Ming army a hard lesson, and completely annihilate this bold and reckless Ming army.
Abatai's order was quickly conveyed, and the cavalry charging in front of him in the direction of the entrance to the hill quickly turned around and joined the battle group, which made the battle even more bloody.
Zheng Xunrui, who had been paying attention to the occupation with a monocular, had a smile on his face, which was a familiar smile.
He spoke to the herald beside him.
"Go to tell Zheng Jinhong, change the previous tactics, and start a comprehensive encirclement, the Yulin border army sent 3,000 cavalry to participate in the battle, and strive to exterminate the Houjin Tartars along the way, Abatai is too arrogant, he was ambushed, and he still wants to fight with the Zheng army, so it's just right, he doesn't want to escape, then wait for the whole army to be annihilated."
"Order Yang He, lead the scout battalion, get ready, listen to my orders, and attack Abatai, if you can capture and kill Abatai alive, it will be the first achievement."
The herald quickly went to deliver the order.
Zheng Xunrui spoke to Xu Wanghua beside him.
"Mr. Xu, the arrogance of the Houjin Tartars has harmed themselves, but there is only one such opportunity, we must firmly grasp it, no matter what the price is, we must exterminate the Houjin Tartars along the way." (To be continued)
