Chapter 1445 Forward
There were already cheers in the Jianzhou Jurchen infantry array, but the Chinese military commander could not hear it very clearly, because thousands of troops and horses were launched, the voices of people were noisy, and the sound of hooves was like thunder, and the sky and earth were filled with this kind of noise.
It didn't take long for different roars to mix, and gradually, this roar overwhelmed everything, and the cannon of the Zhao family army rang out.
Who would have thought that the artillery roar would be like this, who would have thought that Zhao Jiajun's artillery salvo would have such power, and the artillery that was fired against his own artillery array just now had such power.
The 12-pounder and 16-pounder heavy artillery fell to the ground, and some cavalry were beaten and flew sideways, even if the smoke of gunpowder was filled, the location of the Chinese army could be seen clearly, and everyone really changed color.
How many deaths and injuries will there be this time, thinking of this, how many of their own slaves will be damaged, thinking of this, many people's faces turned pale.
At this moment, on the contrary, Amin could still calm down, he didn't even give an order immediately, just calmly glanced left and right, and then raised his voice and said: "What's the panic, the Han dog is just the power of this cannon, let the minions rush over quickly and see what he can start!" ”
Being shouted by Amin like this, the Chinese army commander who was in a commotion suddenly calmed down, everyone can figure out this reason, and immediately a military order was issued, and the herald rode forward.
"Lord Belle, this is the means to estimate the Han dogs, and when the time comes, we will cut them with a thousand knives!"
"This round of bombardment is better than Liaodong Minggou's, let's use it too!"
They are a lot calmer, and some people even talk and laugh loudly to show that they are full of confidence, Zilharang took a deep breath, and looked at Amin with admiration, his brother has experienced a sea of corpses and blood, if he is replaced, he may have panicked, but his brother saw the opportunity to win in this setback.
"Brother"
As soon as the words were spoken, the second round of artillery sounded again, it turned out that the interval was so short, this round of artillery sounded, and Amin's face changed.
Next, no one could keep their composure, no one could maintain any calmness, in their ears, the artillery of the Zhao family army on the opposite side was almost firing like a series of arrows, and there was almost no pause, or in their cognition, it was impossible for the artillery to fire so frequently.
Although it is not clear from a distance, everyone knows that there are heavy deaths in front, and the heavy artillery is getting closer and closer, a cannonball is whistling and flying, hitting a bloody road, so that the still neat formation is routed, and this bloody road is getting closer and closer to the commander of the Chinese army, and it is getting closer and closer to the core of the Jianzhou military array.
"Lord Belle, Zhenghong's gang of puppies have escaped!" Someone screamed, and at this point, the sound of cannons, screams, and all kinds of sounds were intertwined, and even face-to-face shouts could not be heard clearly.
However, everyone can see clearly that the Zhenghongqi Yue Tuo Division, which had already left the team and began to move towards the flank of the Zhao family's army, was turning, and was about to retreat and escape.
Under such a bombardment, how can it be possible to rush forward, who dares to rush forward, Yue Tuo's side understands even more carefully, almost after the cannon is fired five times, everyone realizes that this battle cannot be done, the cavalry with the blue flag and the Mongolian departments are being sent to death in front, and the red flag is still used as a reserve, so if you don't flee at this time, when will you escape.
The continuous sound of artillery has gradually thinned out, only the heavy artillery is still muffled, and it is already time for the artillery to cool down, but the Jianzhou Jurchen main formation can no longer take care of this.
"Lord Belle, let's go, if you don't leave, it's too late!"
Everyone was saying this beside Amin and Zilharang, and by this time it was no longer the killing of artillery bombardment, although every shell that fell would hit the flesh and blood in the infantry formation, causing a rout, and the real big trouble was that the cavalry brigade began to turn and began to turn its head backwards.
The continuous shelling, nearly a thousand shells, had emptied the cavalry formation of the Jianzhou Jurchens enough, their courage and determination were gone, and they now only had to flee for their lives.
The battlefield is a narrow strip between mountains and seas, it is impossible for the cavalry of the brigade to escape to the ice by the sea, if it falls into the sea, it is a death, and it cannot escape to the mountains, there is no open reason over there, in case the action of the brigade is delayed, it is still a death to be caught up by the Zhao family's army, the only way to live is behind you, as long as you rush through your own military formation, then there is a way to live.
Regardless of whether his own mount can hold up or not, as long as there are footmen who can't run fast behind him, then Zhao Jiajun can't catch up.
The plan of the Jianzhou cavalry, Amin and the generals, of course, understood that the chaotic cavalry rushed into the army formation, trampled on each other, and killed each other, and everyone knew what kind of tragic results would be, many people had seen it, and many people even experienced it personally.
Looking at the horse team that turned its head in front of him, he had high hopes before, but now he has become a disaster star.
No one expected that this would be the result, and no one expected that the battle of nearly 100,000 people would be decided so quickly, and it would be the outcome of the victory.
"Brother, what should I do?" Zilharang's voice was already a little trembling, he was actually not a hairy boy, commanding an army, the battlefield of life and death, he had experienced it many times, but now, Zilharang really didn't know what to do, and the situation in front of him was beyond his concept.
Amin looked back and forth, left and right, and then looked at the rout soldiers who were rolling back in front of him, and shouted: "The old and young masters with blue flags are all leaning over, let's go together!" ”
Only the cavalry can hear his words, and only the cavalry can follow him, this is the best choice that can be made at this time, escape from this battlefield with as many cavalry as possible, Amin knows that his infantry is not weak, but he also knows that the Jianzhou Jurchen infantry is not strong enough to withstand the impact of so many cavalry, not to mention that the falling shells continue to cut through this seemingly thick military formation.
Defeated this time, not only did he Amin lose, but even the entire Jianzhou Jurchen was also defeated, this Zhao family army can destroy the withered and decaying defeat and defeat the army of tens of thousands of horses, so the Jianzhou Jurchen can still come up with a few such forces, can Nurhachi and a few other Baylors be able to block such a bombardment? Nor can it be!
Just as Amin shouted these words, the cavalry that had recoiled back was less than two hundred paces away from them, and the dense sound of artillery rang out again, and the artillery had cooled long enough.
The cannonballs caught up with the fleeing cavalry, the cannonballs fell, the screams sounded, the people turned their backs, they were all facing the military formation of the Zhao family's army, naturally they couldn't see that the three-pounder guns and six-pounder guns had been pushed out of the artillery array, and they were moving forward as much as possible, and then opened fire!
At this time, not only did Amin know that he was going to escape, but the infantry array, which was about to be unmaintainable, had also loosened and collapsed, and they had seen the power of the enemy's artillery, and the cavalry couldn't stop it, could the infantry be able to block it? And the most urgent thing now is not this, it is that the rout cavalry is about to roll back, and there may be some courage to face the enemy cavalry, and it is really not worth it to be trampled by their own cavalry.
The red flag soldiers and horses fled first has shaken the heart of the army, and when they saw the cavalry gathered under the handsome banner, and then watched the handsome banner fall down, the main general Amin and Belle Amin were also going to flee, the main general fled, what are you still doing here, the shells are dead people when they fall, there is no way to live at all, fortunately, the shells are not so dense, and when the cavalry rolls back, there is nowhere to escape if you really want to, and you will definitely be trampled to death.
The Jianzhou Jurchen military formation completely collapsed, before the cavalry rolled back, the infantry teams had also collapsed, the staff leader could not control the leader, the leader could restrain the soldiers and horses below in front of the leader, but soon they ran away, the cavalry ran faster than the foot soldiers after all, although the infantry formation had collapsed, but the cavalry still felt that they were in the way in front, they ruthlessly slashed and slashed, and the foot soldiers were also slashing and killing their companions in front of them.
In a mess, cannibalism, the cavalry trampled on the footmen, the foot soldiers tore the cavalry, and in this chaotic situation, the cannons were still roaring, and every shell that landed on the ground could still take human lives.
"The cavalry of the Zhao family army is up!" Someone shouted heartbreakingly.
It was already chaotic, and many people did not notice the intensification of the rout, and the fleeing cavalry became more and more careless, and no one noticed that the cannon fire was becoming more and more sparse and gradually stopped.
The sound of artillery has stopped, even the bombardment of heavy artillery has stopped, but the rout on the battlefield continues, and the cries and noises cover everything, so that everyone knows nothing.
The front team of the Jianzhou Jurchen charge has now become the rear team of the rout, and it is said that they can look back, because the artillery of the Zhao family army is not far from them, but they don't dare, they can only speed up the rout, lest they be a step slower.
Because the cavalry of the Zhao family army had already come up, while the heavy artillery fire was still continuing, the cavalry regiment and cavalry company of the Zhao family army had already begun to go to the front of the formation.
The cavalry of the Zhao family army has a total of 17 companies, every 30 cavalry forms a team, the cavalry company is leading ten cavalry in the center, when the horizontal line is completed, the order is issued, and it begins to rush forward.
The Jianzhou Jurchen horse team has been completely dispersed, and if you want to maintain the formation, you can't run at full speed, at this time it is important to escape, who can take care of what formation, even the companions who are blocking in front of them have to wave their knives regardless of it, and the cavalry and the cavalry can't wait to get as far away as possible, who will get closer.
Such a plate of scattered sand, in front of the cavalry of the Zhao family army is vulnerable, no matter how strong your bow and horse are, how can one person deal with thirty, not to mention that the large horizontal team of the cavalry of the Zhao family army is not scattered, then on the front of this horizontal team, the Jianzhou Jurchen cavalry in front of him is far less than himself, and the overall situation of the Jianzhou Jurchen cavalry is nearly ten times that of the Zhao army, but locally, it is the cavalry of the Zhao family army that has the advantage.
The cavalry of the Zhao family army who rushed to the front rode spears at the flat end, and the two wings were armed with long knives, while the cavalry in the center was presumptuous with bows and arrows, and they didn't pay attention to any accuracy at all, but just threw the arrows as far as possible to the front, whether it was a person or a horse, it was beneficial to shoot the enemy.
The Zhao family army wanted to maintain the array, but the Jianzhou Jurchens did not need it, so the pursuing Zhao family army cavalry was gradually thrown away by the Jianzhou Jurchen cavalry, and there was no way to cause much damage at all.
However, the main purpose of the cavalry attack of the Zhao family army was not to kill the enemy, but to completely disperse the Jianzhou Jurchen cavalry, so that they had no way to gather, no way to gather into a team, they could only disperse, there was no way to counterattack, there was no way to retract, they could only impact their own military formation, and the situation became more and more chaotic.
The formation of Jianzhou Jurchen is completely chaotic, some people are fleeing towards the camp, and more people are going north, and they will not go into any camp at all, what camp can't be knocked on by the artillery of the Zhao family, not to mention such a chaotic situation, such a crazy pursuit, everyone will definitely be crowded when they enter the camp gate, and when the time comes, not to mention the cannibalism, the next thing will be caught by the Zhao family's army urn.
"It's snowing"
I don't know when, there are snowflakes falling in the gloomy sky, and no one who is fighting has noticed this at all, the cavalry of the Zhao family army has already driven the Jianzhou Jurchen cavalry to catch up with the Jianzhou Jurchen foot soldiers, which will stir up the battlefield even more sparsely, at this moment, the overall situation of the battle has been decided.
The snow is falling heavier and heavier, and in the area a few hundred steps away from the cavalry of the Zhao family's army, you can see that the Jianzhou Jurchen has a big banner erected, and the soldiers who fled there are gathering more and more.
On the side of Zhao Jiajun's main formation, the excitement on the faces of Chen Jisheng and others was also solemnly replaced.
"It's snowing, this firearm will definitely not be able to fire in the rain and snow, if the Tartars gather a team to fight back, the outcome is still unknown!" This judgment has been made.
On the remnants of these Dongjiang Towns, there are also special people who explain the flag of the watchtower, which really makes this person judge correctly, everyone's heart is hanging at this moment, Chen Jisheng and the other five people have never seen it, and they have never thought that the war can be fought like this, and the Tartars can be fought so devastatingly, everyone is excited and ecstatic, and feels that the whole person is going to explode, but suddenly, there is such a change on the battlefield.
Victory requires the right time, place and people, in their minds, the strength and victory of the Zhao family army is closely related to this firearm, this incredible artillery bombardment, this equally incredible firecracker fire, only to bring such a big victory, but now the snow is falling, the firearms are difficult to stimulate by moisture, and the already defeated Jianzhou Jurchen army began to gather soldiers and horses, ready to stabilize and fight again, is the battle situation repeated.
"God" Zhang Pan raised his head and said, he was choked before he finished speaking, is this God not willing to let the Han soldiers and horses win, but also let the Tartars turn the tables?
At this time, a few people from Dongjiang Town saw a cavalry galloping out from Chen Sheng's place, it seems that this Zhao family army general should be steady first, gather the soldiers and horses, anyway, this time has already given the Tartars a heavy damage, and it is not too late to go to battle after the snow is clear.
Thinking of this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, but they also felt depressed in their hearts, this time the Jianzhou Jurchen suffered a big loss, and next time it will definitely be a lesson, and it may not be so a posture for field battles, if you stick to the fortified city, or break it into pieces, can the Zhao family army have such a smooth day? And after all, it's a lonely army, in case something goes wrong
The drum sounded, this drum made the generals of Dongjiang Town very surprised, this is not a morale-boosting war drum, nor is it a signal for the retreat, if it is a retreat, it should be a gong and a horn.
This is the Zhao family's foot drum, there has been contact on Phi Island, and in Chen Sheng's army, Chen Jisheng, Zhang Pan and others know that this drum is the Zhao family's army's infantry battalions forward's order, at this time, Zhao Jiajun not only did not want to defend, but actually wanted to attack!
The regimental phalanx, which stood like a mountain, moved, and the sound of fine steps and drums, the sound of fierce suona, and the shouts of generals and non-commissioned officers resounded together.
The array of firebolts in front of the phalanx began to dissolve, and each firebolt company returned to their respective teams, snowflakes fell, wetting the lead medicine pool, and there may be no way to fire continuously, but as long as you protect it carefully, the problem of firing the firebolt is not big, and there is no way to form continuous firepower, but thousands of firebolts can always guarantee to fire, which is killing.
What's more, snow is not rain, and in such cold weather, it also takes a process for the snow to melt, which ensures that the fire gun will not be completely dumbfounded.
I saw the battle flags of each regiment wavering, and the fortress-like team began to move forward, and the noise and noise soon disappeared, except for the sound of the drums in the footsteps, the footsteps became more and more uniform, and each regiment was like a giant, and with every step, the earth was shaking.
Chen Jisheng, Zhang Pan and other five people have forgotten to be discouraged, forgot to complain about the heavens, they looked at the scene in front of them blankly, Zhao Jiajun's behavior at this time can be said to be reckless, artillery bombardment and pursuit of the Jianzhou Jurchen no matter how big the damage is, now the Jianzhou Jurchen also has the strength of thousands of horsemen and tens of thousands of foot soldiers, as long as they are gathered, there is still the power of a battle, without the support of firearms, how can Zhao Jiajun still fight, how to fight against the opponent's many people.
Although they had such a judgment in their hearts, they were inexplicably relieved, they felt that Zhao Jiajun would never move blindly.
There was a shout in the forward formation, at first one person shouting, then it became the cry of many people, at first it was not audible, then it was clear to the ears!
"Zhao Jiajun, forward!"
"Zhao Jiajun, forward!"
"Zhao Jiajun, forward!"
Everyone was shouting, and the heavens and the earth were shaking.
Chen Jisheng and others don't know if it's not
