Chapter 1378: The Jurchen is less than 10,000
Many Jianzhou Jurchen soldiers fell to the ground in the crowd and chaos, and then they never got up, they were trampled by their own people, and then they were trampled into pulp by the cavalry of the Zhao family's army.
The formation of the cavalry of the Zhao family army has not been too deformed so far, as if a wall has been crushed over, and all the people in front of the wall have been crushed into pulp.
The rain of arrows was pouring down, and the cavalry behind the spear cavalry could not rush to the front to kill the enemy because of the formation, and there was no way to pursue the remnants of the enemy if they were not on the flanks, all they could do was to draw their bows and arrows and throw the arrows in front of the team, and the arrows could always hit a few people.
Even if it is just to bleed the other party, it can make him weak on such a battlefield, so that he can't run fast, resulting in being caught up and trampled and slashed.
The hundreds of cavalry who had been standing still in the back also began to rush forward, this was the beginning of the Jianzhou soldiers and horses disaster, originally the most convenient direction for the Jurchen soldiers to escape was the rear, but now the rear is also trapped.
Unlike maintaining a large horizontal squad in the front, the cavalry behind is divided into dozens of cavalry teams, rushing left and right, killing and wounding the enemy as much as possible.
The soldiers and horses led by Tang Gu completely collapsed, not only the collapse of the formation, but also the morale and people's hearts, since the establishment of the state, with the Jurchen tribes outside the border fortress to the death, with the Mongolian tribes to the death, Jianzhou won more than the loss, since Nurhachi announced the seven hatreds into Liao Town, a hundred battles have been won, and there has been no defeat.
Victory, a devastating, hearty victory, the confidence of the soldiers of the Eight Banners of Jianzhou was established, they began to feel that they were very strong, began to feel that they were invincible in the world, they fought with such faith in every battle, the momentum was compelling, and the chances of winning were more.
But this time their confidence collapsed, they didn't expect this to be the result, there was no resistance at all, everything was in the hands of the other party, their own side was inferior to the other party in terms of combat power, from strategy, from equipment, everything was inferior to the other party, and when the battle began, it was a one-sided slaughter.
Don't go to farming, fishing and hunting, pick up the sword and follow the masters to fight in the east and west, and get a rich background for their own family, this is the idea of every Jurchen man, but now, the Jurchen soldiers who are in the middle of the two cavalry strangulation and encirclement, they only want to go back, what to do in Liaodi, it is too dangerous here, there are murders everywhere here, I still want to go back to farming, and I want to reunite with my family.
When the strangulation reached a certain point, when the cavalry regiment and cavalry company of the Zhao family army began to hold all the enemies in their pockets, the sun had already set, but the Jianzhou Jurchen soldiers inside knew that they had no chance in the dark, and they would only be completely killed, and some people began to kneel and surrender regardless of it, but this only accelerated death, pushing and trampling each other in the dark, who would care about dodging, and the cavalry of the Zhao family army did not mean to surrender, just trample on it, just slash and kill the past.
At this time, surrender may not be able to beg for a living, or speed up death, but these people who have lost their weapons just don't want to stay in the hellish killing field for a moment longer, just want to give themselves a good time, these years the Jianzhou Jurchens have fought too smoothly, they never thought that they would experience such a failure, and they can't afford to withstand such a failure.
Needless to say, many people think about the future, from being driven out in Fuzhou to the present, they dare not recall these battles, but every time they think about it, they feel terrified, if the future is like that, it is like that in the future, it is better to die now.
Because they know the fate of the losers, they know the misery of the captives, because they see how miserable the captives of the Ming army and Liaozhen are, because this misery is made by their own hands, and when they think that what they inflict on others will suffer by themselves, many people feel that it is better to die, and it is better to have a good time now.
In the middle of the battle, some people rushed left and right in a panic, and some people wailed and shouted while waving their knives to make senseless resistance, "It shouldn't be like this, how can it be like this!" "They followed their masters to fight in the east and west, and won victories again and again, the eight banners were not satisfied with the land of Liaozhen, everyone looked further west, looking at the prosperity and wealth in the Daming Pass, they already felt that Liaozhen is their own land, everything has been stabilized, in this land, they are safe, in this land, they are wolves, tigers, and the soldiers and horses of the Han people and the Ming Kingdom are pigs and sheep, and at this time they realized that they were not tigers and wolves, and this sudden Xuzhou soldiers and horses are fierce beasts, I am just meat in someone else's mouth.
Listening to the ancestors, the Jurchens lived pitifully in this white mountain and black water, first were driven out of Goryeo by the Goryeo, and then chased by the Mongols everywhere, the Ming army also killed people and set fires, I thought that these years have changed, the Goryeo people are silent, the Ming country fled in embarrassment, the Mongols bowed their heads, and the Jurchens raised their eyebrows, but the reality is like this, it turns out that it is still the case.
Some people are crying, some people no longer have any unruly wildness, but kneel on the ground and beg for mercy, pleading for a long time without saying or even disdainfully speaking Chinese, some people patting their chests and saying that they are Han and have been hiding in them, and some people hold up their plundered gold and silver in both hands, wanting to exchange this for their lives, or for chaos and a chance to escape.
However, this Xuzhou cavalry is different from any battalion they encountered before, they did not stop, not even chaotic, this Xuzhou army is just killing, the people in front are tired, the weapons are blunt, replace the people behind to kill, some people escape, some people fight horses to chase, that is, do not let one person run away, do not let any enemy live.
It was dark, and only the brilliant glow of the sea and sky remained, and by this time the killing had stopped, and the cavalry was loosely formed in a circle, and most of them had dismounted, began to wipe the sweat of their mounts, took dry rations, and began to feed the horses with water bladders.
No one was worried about the siege of the Jianzhou Jurchen soldiers escaping, because most of them were killed, the rest were frightened and surrendered, and the cavalry that went to pursue had also returned to their own team.
The cavalry of the second regiment formed a team of ten people, holding long knives and short spears, and began to enter the battlefield for screening, looking at those who had not yet lost their breath and making up for a knife, watching those who pretended to be dead directly ordered to surrender, and those who were disobedient or seemed to be a little disobedient directly passed with a knife and a shot.
The soldiers of the Zhao family army participated in the battle with solemn faces, and the recruits often vomited and felt uncomfortable after the first battle, and the cavalry was completely different, and the people of the second knight regiment were all in a state of dancing eyebrows, talking and laughing there.
Not only the cavalry below, but also the second regiment Zheng Bayin's face was full of joy, his quiver was empty, and his body was splashed with blood, and someone was wiping his long knife beside him, and the knife cloth had been replaced.
"The first regiment is not blessed by us, how can there be such a big battle in the future in the Guannei, we are here in Liaodong, there are a few more happy times."
As he spoke, several brigades around him were laughing, the knights of the Zhao family army were mixed, and the backbone was Wang Ziyang's Mongolian buddies back then, and later there were the children of the guards and the green forest horse thieves who joined, this person from the grassland and from the rivers and lakes had a flamboyant temperament, and the children of the guards who could ride horses were not honest people, and their attitudes towards the war were naturally different.
The cavalry teams below the Zhao family army have almost all had a painful lesson in military discipline, and the number of people killed in battle is not as much as that of the Zhao family's military law, but now, everyone is public, and their behavior and actions are not enough.
"This is the same thing with the Tartars of Jianzhou, if the infantry of our Zhao family army is surrounded by cavalry, the cavalry will not make any cheap at all, do you think you can rush to the front?"
"Tuanzheng, compare with whom, don't compare with our own battalion head, this Jianzhou Tartar is not bad, they fled all the way like this, and there was no chaos after being followed by the cavalry company of the First Brigade, seeing that we still dare to rush up and fight, the Ming army and the thieves can have this bone, our newly trained regimental training, what is it called, I don't see it."
The few who spoke were Mongolian cavalry from the steppe, and they also kept saying "Tartar", because this word is not derogatory in many places in the Ming Pass, the strong generals and elite troops of the Ming Dynasty, there are really a lot of people from various Mongolian departments, and the word Tartar official has existed since the time of the ancestor, and the "senior official" of the "dignitary" of the "dignitary" is also derived from this.
"Borzi, when you were on an errand for the Datong border army, if you saw so many heads, you must be crazy! Why can't you change to a general and a general soldier, and if you can't do it, you can still be a marquis! ”
"If you want to see so many people in Datong, you have to go to wash the village, Lao Tzu just couldn't see that they had no ability to fight, and they killed the people, so they followed the king's shopkeeper, and then came to Xuzhou to follow the master!"
This flanking attack was a complete battle of annihilation, with less than a thousand captives alive at the end, and the captives were being driven to clean up the battlefield.
Since Liao Shen was sent here, every soldier of the Eight Banners has made a fortune in the looting, and he has a lot of gold and silver with him, these goods Zhao Jiajun will not let go, and even his clothes have been stripped off, these bloody, dirty and damaged clothes Zhao Jiajun will naturally not want, but considering the long cold winter in the future, these clothes will definitely be useful.
In the past, Zhao Jiajun's attitude towards corpses was very simple, if they were not sacrificed by their own family, they would be burned and buried directly, so as not to cause epidemics, but this time it was a little different from before, and when the prisoners searched the battlefield, they had to cut off the heads one by one.
"What do you want these heads for, our Zhao Jiajun doesn't need this to change the future of military merit."
"What do you tell you to do, what are you doing with so much nonsense!"
"It's still very hot at sunrise, and it's easy to stink when so many people's heads are placed, and when the time comes, there will be a plague, and our army will be stationed here."
"You don't have to worry about this, we can't think of anything in Xuzhou, I guess there should be a big ship of lime sent over!"
