Chapter 308: Bloody Battle of White Deer Mountain (8)
The wild Jurchen is also a Manchurian, but she is despised by Duoduo and other mature Jurchen, she is such an uncivilized wild Jurchen, but she is the elite unit of the Eight Banners.
Wild Nuzhen has climbed the ice and snow since she was a child, has a strong ability to survive, is agile, and has a very strong physical fitness, just like a monkey, rushing into the mountains and forests on the eastern side of Komatsu Mountain at the fastest speed, and disappearing without a trace after drilling into the mountain, so that Dong Daqi and his subordinates stationed on the east side are shocked, and they carry weapons one by one to prevent this strange army from launching a surprise attack.
Dong Daqi ordered all troops and horses to be covered with bows and arrows, forcing the wild Jurchen to drill out, but the forest that the wild Jurchen drilled into was many trees and far away, and there were more than 20 artillery pieces in Dong Daqi's army, although the power was not great, most of them were small artillery such as tiger squat cannons, and there were not many shells, but at this time, Dong Daqi didn't care about saving cannonballs, and ordered to fire at the wild Jurchen.
Dozens of shells fell where the wild girl was really there, but there was no movement, Dong Daqi ordered to continue firing, but at this moment, the Qing army's artillery suddenly began to wield, and dozens of shells fired by Hongyi cannons fell on the position of Dong Daqi's army, and the Ming army was bleeding incessantly.
Dong Daqi lay on the ground to avoid the artillery, the Qing army's artillery did not last long, but in the next second, Dong Daqi heard a strange sound, got up from the ground, and raised his head to look. More than a thousand wild Jurchens rushed up with all kinds of weapons,
The wild girl is like a wild man, extremely flexible in the mountains and forests, almost in a trance, he killed Dong Daqi to garrison the position, Dong Daqi held a big knife and slashed at a wild Jurchen, the wild Jurchen's face was smeared with unknown fuel, a big stick mallet smashed down, Dong Daqi's big man of 1.92 meters was smashed back again and again.
The other soldiers of the Ming army were almost eaten alive by the wild Jurchen, Dong Daqi kept shouting at his subordinates to resist, don't be looked down upon by the friendly army, the subordinates are indeed struggling to support, but the hard power is not as good as the wild Jurchen.
After the first-line troops were cut down, the troops stationed on the second line were a little panicked, and Dong Daqi was a little desperate, how could these Qing troops be so strong?
Fortunately, Ling Jingyang led most of the soldiers of the Iron Fist Legion to reinforce in time, and only Shi Tie led part of the soldiers and horses of the Iron Fist Legion to garrison the cliff of the back mountain, and the other soldiers supported Xiaosong Mountain with Ling Jingyang.

Ling Jingyang understands the combat effectiveness of the wild Jurchen, this is a group of barbarians who are despised by the mature Jurchen, in the face of the barbarians, it is obviously not a wise move to fight hard, and ordered all of them to go on fire, everyone stopped moving forward, loaded ammunition on the spot, and prepared to give the wild Jurchen a gunpowder battle.
The wild Jurchen fought bravely, but they were not reckless men who commanded hard fighting, followed the old Khan, as well as Huang Taiji, Dolgon and other famous Manchu generals to fight, and also knew how to fight, a wild Jurchen general saw a group of Ming troops armed with firearms rushing down from Bailu Mountain, and hurriedly ordered his subordinates to defend the place, and at the same time Duoduo, who was supervising the battle in the rear, also ordered reinforcements to the wild Jurchen in time.
More than 4,000 Eight Banner soldiers launched an attack from the east side, and Zhang Luofu, who was watching the battle in Bailu Mountain, saw the increase in the number of Qing troops, and said to Jiang Xuan: "Governor, I will go to support the Governor of Lingdu, and the defense of Bailu Mountain will be entrusted to the Governor." ”
Jiang Hao nodded with him, Zhang Luofu immediately led the reserve army to support Ling Jingyang, the most effective unit of the reserve army, the headquarters soldiers and horses led by Zhang Luofu himself, and his reinforcements made the Qing army reversed in numbers.
At this time, after the first charge, the Thousand Wild Jurchens were beaten by the Iron Fist Legion with fire guns, and they did not dare to rush hard, lying on the ground and waiting for reinforcements.
The 4,000 Eight Banner soldiers who came to reinforce injected vitality into the wild Jurchen, and the Qing army continued to attack, and finally rushed up to hand over the Ming army, killing Dong Daqi and the Iron Fist Army to retreat step by step.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Luofu's new force entered, and the offensive momentum of the Qing army was suddenly defeated, and the Ming army successfully counterattacked, and was forced to withdraw from the east side, and the west side attack was also repelled by the Ming army.
After seeing the retreat of the attacking army, Duoduo ordered the Hongyi artillery to bombard Xiaosong Mountain, the Ming army heard the sound of artillery and began to avoid the artillery, after the Qing artillery killed and injured a small number of Ming troops, Dolgon also felt that it was meaningless, it was better to save shells, and wait until tomorrow to continue to attack Bailu Mountain.
In the back mountain of Bailu Mountain, Shi Tie led eight hundred Iron Fist soldiers to look at the bottom of the mountain, they were not sure if there were a large number of Qing troops in the back mountain, but they were sure that the Qing army would definitely deploy troops in the back mountain.
Shi Tie also knew that there were hundreds of remnants of the left wing, right wing, and central army in the back mountain, and they were lying dormant under the leadership of Niu Guangtian and others

Back in the mountains, wait for the right time to deal a fatal blow to the Qing army, or to relieve the siege of the main force.
Not only that, but there is also Jiang Xuan, who withdrew to Lu'an Prefecture a few days ago, and went around Lu'an Prefecture, gathering more than 400 old and weak soldiers, and took these soldiers to Qinzhou non-stop, and happened to join Gao Jie's troops who retreated to Yuci City.
The strength of the two soldiers and horses is weak, the whole army is less than 1,000 people, Gao Jie led his own soldiers to meet with Jiang Xuan, as soon as the two met, they were a little overshadowed, they were both defeated generals, they were all people who buried the main force, Gao Jie took the lead and said: "Jiang Zongbing, where are you going?" ”
Jiang Xuan didn't know that Gao Jie was defeated, and said to him: "The main force of our army is facing off against the Qing army in Bailu Mountain, and I will go back to Taiyuan Mansion to raise soldiers and horses to support Bailu Mountain." ”
Gao Jie happened to have this intention, his troops either surrendered or died in battle, there were hundreds of people left around him, and he urgently needed to pull up a force, so he said to Jiang Xuan: "I don't have many soldiers and horses, I need to replenish soldiers and horses, it is better for you and my two armies to work together to go north, go to Taiyuan Mansion to recruit soldiers and horses, and go together to support Bailu Mountain." ”
This surprised Jiang Xuan, he looked at Gao Jie's troops, it seemed that the number was really small, and he was a little puzzled and said to Gao Jie: "General Gao, you were also defeated by Jiannu?" ”
It is not a very humiliating thing to be defeated by the Qing army, but Gao Jie is still very strong and Jiang Xuan said that he was besieged by several times the Qing army, and he had to retreat north with his troops as a last resort.
Jiang Xuan didn't deliberately sarcastically mock him, after all, tens of thousands of them didn't hold Xinxiang City, they were all the eldest brother and second brother, but he and Gao Jie said: "Almost all the troops that Shanxi can put are in Henan, let's go back to Taiyuan Mansion, and most of the soldiers recruited are also recruits, and they don't have much combat power." ”
"That's better than General Guang Pole, let's hurry back and pull up a force to support Bailu Mountain, if it's too late, Bailu Mountain is lost, what else can we toss?"
The two soldiers were united, retreated to Taiyuan Mansion with all their might, gathered hundreds of scattered soldiers on the road, returned to Yuci City, the Ming Dynasty officials in Yuci City did not dare to open the door, Wang Mu and Mi Shengguang led the whole city to walk on the city wall, guarding the city wall with rudimentary weapons, no matter how the Ming army shouted outside the city, the city gate was not opened alive or dead.
