Chapter 316: Not Afraid of Life and Death

"Old eight, the Ming army is arraying, let me lead the cavalry to rush, I will definitely be able to kill the Ming army by surprise!" Mang Gurtai rode to Huang Taiji and asked for orders again.

Huang Taiji's face was gloomy: "Act according to the plan in advance. ”

However, he directly rejected Mang Gurtai's opinion. Mang Gurtai was very angry, but he was helpless. The big war was imminent, and he didn't dare to argue with Huang Taiji at this time.

This old man is becoming more and more indecisive, Mang Gurtai said secretly.

Huang Taiji didn't pay attention to what Mang Gurtai thought at all, and now he only thought about solving the Ming army in front of him at the lowest cost.

The hundreds of thousands of Ming captives in front of him are already destined to be unable to be brought back to their hometown, and they can't be easily left to the Ming Kingdom. At this time, every time you consume more strength of the Ming Kingdom, it is also good to lose every one less Eight Banner Warriors.

Huang Taiji was calculating, accurately calculating, how to solve the Ming army in front of him at the lowest cost, and these prisoners were his reliance.

More than 30,000 soldiers of the Eight Banners moved forward steadily, forcing the Ming prisoners to gradually move towards the Ming army's array, and the distance between the two sides became closer and closer.

The Ming army array, looking at the people who were being coerced by Jiannu and gradually approaching, many Ming soldiers were confused on their faces. Although many people know that a large number of people were plundered by Jiannu, when they saw so many people, they still felt a little frightened and unbearable, knowing that once the battle started, it was these defenseless people who suffered first.

"The enemy is two miles away from me!"

"The enemy is a mile away from me!"

"The enemy is three hundred steps away from me!"

The soldiers in charge of the lookout shouted from time to time, and Sun Chuanting's face was very calm.

Jiannu did not send cavalry, nor did he try to divide his troops to attack and outflank the Ming army, but directly drove the people forward, which confirmed Sun Chuanting's guess that Jiannu wanted to rely on these people to consume the physical strength of the Ming army and reduce the morale of the Ming army, so as to achieve the greatest victory at the minimum cost.

"The enemy is two hundred paces away from me!" The lookout soldier continued to shout.

The distance is already very close, even without the help of a clairvoyant mirror, you can clearly see the situation of the other party, and you can see many people walking in rags and numbness.

Sun Chuanting raised his hand, a little hesitant. He knew that when his arm fell, the fate of these people would probably be sealed, and countless people would die on this battlefield.

From the day he started studying, it was Sun Chuanting's ideal for the Qi family to rule the country and level the world, and being an official was to save the people from the Ming Dynasty, and now he couldn't save the people who were arrested, not to mention, he had to send them to a dead end with his own hands, which actually made Sun Chuanting feel very uncomfortable.

But for the sake of the Ming Dynasty, for the sake of more people, the official also had to make a choice, Sun Chuanting gritted his teeth and waved his arm heavily.

"Fire!" The herald beside him immediately shouted loudly. At the same time, a string of small red flags was quickly raised along the flagpole.

After seeing the flag clearly in the artillery position at the forefront, the commander who was holding the command of the artillery array immediately gave the order to open the artillery.

"Boom Boom"

Dozens of artillery pieces opened fire one after another, and one shell after another streaked through the sky and fell into the array of people who were swarming in, and the people were suddenly in chaos.

Most of the artillery is solid lead bullets, although the sound of the cannon is loud, it seems to be huge, but in fact, the damage caused is minimal, because the ground is covered with snow, and the cannonballs will kill and injure one or two people at most, and then they will fall on the ground, embedded in the frozen snow, basically not much rolling, and the power is much smaller than that of the plain surrey.

But for these people, it was extremely terrifying, a huge roar, and the flesh and blood of the people around them were smashed, and the bones and tendons were broken, which shocked every people, making them involuntarily stop and dare not go forward at all.

However, the people in the back continued to move forward under the drive of Jiannu, but the people in front stopped, and there was chaos all of a sudden.

"Gunners forward, thirty paces, shoot!" Seeing that Jiannu still showed no signs of dispatching, Sun Chuanting continued to pass the order.

Following his order, more than a thousand musketeers quickly marched forward, lined up in a long line, and quickly approached the people, and when they reached a distance of about thirty paces, they opened fire one after another.

"Bang bang bang" continued to sound fire, and the people at the front were shot down in a large area, and the other people turned around and ran away in fright.

"The officers and soldiers are coming, let's run." The captured civilians screamed and cried, and fled to the left and right rear, but they did not dare to run to the ranks of officers and soldiers again.

To tell the truth, at the beginning, there were still many people who wanted to run to the official army, hoping to get the protection of the official army and escape with their lives, after all, not everyone wanted to be a slave to Jiannu, most people still hated Jiannu who burned down their homes and killed their families, or hoped to be rescued and returned to their hometown.

However, as great as the hope, as great as the disappointment, they never expected that the officers and soldiers would actually fire at them, everyone is their own people! This damn officer!

Looking at the panicked people fleeing in the distance, the muscles on Sun Chuanting's face twitched, and he had to continue to give orders, ordering the army to go out and continue to press forward.

Bows and arrows, fire guns, bullets and arrows shot forward in waves, and the entire people's queue was in chaos, the people cried, turned around and fled, and hundreds of people were driven towards the queue of Jiannu Eight Banners.

Jiannu wants to rely on the people to impact the Ming army array, and now Sun Chuanting also has the same idea, to use his own way to govern his people, if he can drive the people to rush the Jiannu array, then this battle has the possibility of winning.

But Sun Chuanting also knows that it may not be easy.

Sure enough, the next moment Jiannu reacted, with Huang Taiji's order, the Eight Banners soldiers fled with bows and arrows, shooting a continuous rain of arrows at the people who fled back, and a puff of feather arrows shot out, nailing the fleeing people to the ground one by one, and in just a moment, thousands of people died tragically under Jiannu's arrows.

Looking at the countless corpses in front of them that had fallen to the ground, the people behind were so frightened that they stopped.

"It's worthy of Sun Chuanting, it's really ruthless!" Huang Taiji muttered.

Huang Taiji didn't expect that Sun Chuanting would take the initiative to order the guns to be fired against these people. Ming Dynasty officials value their reputation the most, isn't Sun Chuanting afraid that someone will impeach him and slaughter the people?

But that's what makes it interesting, such a person is worthy of his opponent! Huang Taiji sneered, Ben Khan wants to see who is more ruthless!

"Order, order Azig to lead his cavalry to attack these untouchables and force them to return!" Huang Taiji ordered in a deep voice.

Following his order, the 3,000 Eight Banners cavalry went out and pounced on these people.

Three thousand cavalrymen, twelve thousand horses' hooves, with supreme evil spirits, swooped down, causing hundreds of people to change color in shock. They cried and ran, trying to escape, but there were people everywhere around them, where could they flee?

Three thousand war horses slammed into them, countless people were knocked into the air, the Eight Banners soldiers danced their sabers, cutting off human heads, the people were crying in fright, and many people didn't know how to dodge at all.

There are officers and soldiers in the front, and there are Jiannu in the back, all of them are the same brutality, so where can these weak people still live?

More than 100,000 people, under the attack of the Ming army and the Eight Banners, were crying and running helplessly to the east and west, but they couldn't escape at all.

Huang Taiji sent two teams of cavalry on both flanks, and did not attack the Ming army, but used bows and arrows to continuously shoot at the people who tried to flee to both sides, forcing the people to attack the Ming army from three directions.

In the end, more than 100,000 people were crowded in the center of the battlefield within a radius of several miles, and countless people lost their lives under the attack of Jiannu and the Ming army every moment.

......

In the crowd, Niu Youqing stood silently, and the anger on his face became more and more intense. Around him, there were forty or fifty young men and women, all of whom were from Niujia Village.

"Third brother, what should I do?" Niu Youxiang struggled to stand up straight and shouted loudly.

Niu Youqing looked up, and the clansmen all looked at him in panic.

"Jiannu wants to kill us, and the officials and soldiers won't give us a way to live, anyway, we will die left and right, and we will fight with them!" Niu Youqing raised the wooden stick in his hand.

Once, he just wanted to live, accepted the appointment of Jiannu, and became a small leader of traitors, thinking that the remaining clansmen in the village could be brought safely outside the gate. The family has been burned by Jiannu, and other relatives have also been killed, but after all, he is still alive, and it is not easy to live in this era, and it is better to live than to die.

Niu Youqing hated Jiannu very much, but he didn't think about revenge, because he knew that it was impossible. It doesn't matter if you leave your hometown or become a slave or maid for Jiannu, as long as you can live, you can do anything.

But Niu Youqing never thought that it would be so difficult to live!

Jiannu wants to let himself and others attack the official army array, the official army massacres without mercy, and Jiannu is even more cruel, sandwiched between the official army and Jiannu, where is there any way to live?

Since it's all death anyway, then just fight to the death before you die!

"Third brother, who are you fighting with?" Niu Youxiang exclaimed.

"Jiannu!" Niu Youqing sneered, "Jiannu killed our relatives and burned our Niujia Village, let's fight with Jiannu to break the net!" ”

"Huh?" Niu Youxiang was stunned, when Jiannu invaded the village, he didn't think about working hard, why do you have to work hard now, and besides, with the dozens of people left in the village, can you fight Jiannu?

"Fight with Jiannu!" Just when Niu Youxiang was stunned, a villager surnamed Niu next to him shouted loudly.

"Fight with Jiannu!" More villagers shouted.

Knowing that there was no way to live, these cowardly people in the past broke out!

The officers and soldiers are hateful, and they use knives against them. But Jiannu is even more hateful, slaughtering their relatives and burning their homes, at this time, who to change to, it is natural to imagine.

"Fight with Jiannu!" More and more people shouted, and pounced on the rushing Jiannu cavalry.

"Ah!!h A citizen shouted, rushed to a war horse, and was hit by the war horse, but the speed of the war horse also dropped sharply.

More people pounced on the Jiannu cavalry, and at the same time succeeded in stopping the war horse.

The Eight Banners on horseback roared angrily, sabers flew, cutting down one after another people, but more people rushed towards him, and finally some people jumped up and hugged his arm, successfully pulled him off the horse, more people rushed up, and pressed the Eight Banners to the ground, fists, nails, feet, teeth, and when the people scattered, the Eight Banners had been torn to pieces.

Taking advantage of the Jiannu cavalry in front of him to cut down the two villagers, Niu Youqing violently waved the wooden stick in his hand and broke the horse's leg with a click, but he didn't expect the Eight Banners soldiers to be very vigorous, and successfully jumped onto the snow before the war horse fell to the ground, and a pair of eyes stared at Niu Youqing coldly.

At this moment, Niu Youqing had long forgotten about being afraid, clenched the wooden stick with both hands, and glared back viciously.

The Eight Banners raised their sabers and slashed at Niu Youqing, who also smashed the wooden stick regardless of it. A figure flew out and hit the blade of the Eight Banners, blocking a knife for Niu Youqing, and Niu Youqing's wooden stick smashed on the head of the Eight Banners, smashing ten thousand peach blossoms.

"The ...... in charge," muttered the woman on the blade, and closed her eyes.

Niu Youqing didn't cry, but with a pair of red eyes, he suddenly pulled the saber out of the woman's body and pounced on the other Eight Banners......

......

Huang Taiji Huoran sat up straight from the horse, looking ahead with an incredible face, he never thought that these weak Ming people would dare to resist and dare to make a move against the Eight Banners!

It can be seen with the naked eye that countless Ming captives rioted, counterattacking the Eight Banners, and in front of 100,000 people, the three thousand Eight Banners cavalry were like a small boat in the ocean.

The combat strength of the Ming army was even weaker, and these untouchables did not attack the Ming army, but actually made a move against the Eight Banners, which made Huang Taiji a little incredible, and then became angry.

When did even these pariahs dare to resist the soldiers of the Eight Banners!

"Hauge, you take the guard camp to Ben Khan and kill all these untouchables!" Huang Taiji gritted his teeth.

"Wow, Amma!" Haug sneered, raised a battle axe, and strode forward, three thousand guards carrying various weapons, following closely behind Hauge.

The guard camp, composed of white-armored soldiers and red-armored soldiers, is composed of the most elite bannermen of each banner, each wearing two layers of three-layer armor, has always been the main force used to break the formation, and to deal with these people, it is really a knife to kill chickens, it can be seen that Huang Taiji is already very impatient.

The horn sounded, the cavalry under Azig retreated one after another, and the Ming people disengaged, and in a short battle, hundreds of cavalry were pulled off their horses by the people, which shows the cruelty of the battle, of course, the people died more, at least ten times the number of deaths of the Eight Banners.

Heavy footsteps sounded, and three thousand escorts lined up in a neat line, rapidly approaching the rioting people. Although they were all infantry, the murderous aura they exuded was far better than that of the Jiannu cavalry just now.

"Kill Jiannu!" Hundreds of people shouted, taking advantage of the momentum of repelling the Jiannu cavalry, and pounced violently, holding wooden sticks in their hands, holding weapons snatched from the killed Jiannu cavalry, and many even with their bare hands.

In order to take revenge, in order to earn a way to survive, many people are no longer afraid of life and death.
