CHAPTER XLVII
The Qi family army was an infantry, and originally planned to rely on the Hunhe River moat to resist until dark. Taking advantage of the darkness of the night, the whole army retreated, returned to Liaoyang, and relied on the fortified city to hold on. But now there are Eight Banners cavalry behind him, if they retreat in a hurry once they leave the fortified position. On the way, he was rushed by ...... cavalry!
This is unsheltered on the plains, and the cavalry can exert their impact and mobility with impunity. From Shenyang to Liaoyang, there are more than 100 miles. In this more than 100 miles of land, the Eight Banners cavalry, which has enough mobility and impact power, has an absolute advantage, and wiped out the Qi family's army.
This is the sorrow of the infantry, facing the cavalry on the plains with an absolute superiority in mobility. If there is no military formation to protect it, or if there is a strong position. It's hard to win!
As an excellent infantry general, Qi Jin fought hundreds of small battles. Naturally, he knew the consequences of a rash retreat, and besides, the white pole soldiers on the opposite side were in danger. If he retreats now, the white pole soldiers will die.
Li Xiao followed Qi Jin to the rear camp and saw that countless cavalry were gathering in the distance. The cavalry was scattered and did not seem to have the intention of attacking. It is estimated that he just wants to monitor the Qi family army and prevent the Qi family army from escaping back to Liaoyang. Damn, eating from the bowl and thinking about the pot. It seems that the Tartar soldiers are trying to roll the stew.
The only thing to be thankful for is that the number of these cavalrymen does not seem to be too many. It seemed to be only three or four thousand people, but from time to time cavalry came in the distance and joined the ranks.
"Could it be that we can only count on Zhu Wanliang's soft egg?" Zhou Dunji thought of Zhu Wanliang, who was reinforced with reinforcements. There is no bottom in my heart, and that thing knows all day long that he drinks the blood of soldiers and eats empty money to play with women. When it comes to fighting, it's definitely faster than a rabbit. It would be better if it was Jiang Bi who led the team, but unfortunately Jiang Bi was just a guerrilla and couldn't be Zhu Wanliang's master.
"Then what to do, we can only count on him. The number of enemy troops is still not large, if Zhu Wanliang can come to meet him tonight. There is still hope for us to escape in the night. If you don't come ......! ”
Everyone was silent, and everyone knew what the consequences would be if Zhu Wanliang didn't answer.
"Dunzi! You go to the other side and reinforce General Qin. Tell General Qin that if you withdraw to the place where the troops come to unite, there is still a glimmer of hope. Qi Jin turned to Zhou Dunji and commanded. The white pole soldiers on the opposite side have been fighting for an hour continuously, and it is estimated that they have not eaten much from the meal in the morning until now. As for the flatbread that was used as military rations, it was now frozen like a stone. Not to mention eating, it's not easy to bite off a piece.
"No!" Zhou Dunji responded, and went to rectify his subordinates to prepare for the attack.
"Dunzi, wait a while, I'll go with you." Ao Canghai said sullenly and followed Zhou Dunji.
"Ao Ye! I'll go too! "I heard that Ao Canghai was going, and Li Xiao also wanted to follow.
"Forget it! With your small physique, you were killed by a single punch. Wait here for a while, my life is big, and the eight Japanese slaves in the Biho Pavilion can be killed. Feel relieved! It's okay! Ao Canghai patted Li Xiao's head, perhaps because he was afraid that Li Xiao would not be at ease, so he bared his teeth and gave Li Xiao a smile.
The ghost believed what he said, and Li Xiao saw the tragedy of the death battle of the white pole soldiers just now. Seeing Ao Canghai put on a cotton armor, he was carrying a huge Mo knife in his hand. Follow Zhou Dunji out of the trench and walk to the bridge deck!
Nurhachi looked at the fierce battlefield, and he had already thrown his all into this battle. Except for a thousand elite guards behind him, there were no other troops to deploy.
"Tell Amin, Daishan, Azig, it's time to start!" Nurhachi gave an order, and the guards behind him immediately lit wolf smoke.
Watching the billowing wolf smoke rise into the sky, Nurhachi smiled. He knew that he had won this battle. Not only is the Ming army in front of him unable to escape, but even the Qi family army on the other side can't fly out of the palm of his hand.
"Amma! You deliberately let the Yellow Banner and the Blue Banner attack in the east, and wait for their troops to be transferred to the east to resist. The remaining three banners rushed over together, occupying the bridgehead to cut off the reinforcements of the Qi family army and the retreat of these Ming troops in front of them. Right? ”
"Huh! Scold! Scold! My little eaglet, Dorgon, you are so clever, the Han people have a saying called the soldier is sophistry. It is said that fighting a war is actually a game of playing the eyes of the heart, and no matter how brave the soldiers are, it is difficult to win without a wise command. ”
"Father Khan, you know the Han family's art of war, why don't the Han generals understand it?"
"Good question! Because the officialdom of the Han people is different from ours, we Jurchens want to use it together and work together. But what about the Han people? They like to fight their own people!
Their emperor preferred to use loyal people rather than capable ones. Because their emperor feared that those who were able to hold power would rebel.
Dorgon, you have to remember that a nation and a people want to prosper. Employing people is the most important thing, and everyone has his use. It doesn't matter if he's Akina, Seth Black, or Baturu. They all have their own uses! ”
"Uh......!"
"Arkina can be eaten, and Seth Black can help us hunt and take care of the house. Baturu can help us fight on the battlefield! All the king has to do is get them to be in the right place. If the father Khan let Baturu hunt, eat Seth Hei, and let Aqina go to the battlefield to fight. That's the disaster for our Jurchens!
Remember my Dorgon, it is the king's duty to put people in the right places. It doesn't matter if that person is loyal or not, just look at his talent. Do you understand? ”
"Got it, Amma! Ama employs people, and values talent more than loyalty! ”
"Hehehe! Dolgon, if you let a talented man make the most of his talents. Then he will be loyal to you! Nurhachi smiled and looked at the battlefield.
Seeing the yellow wolf smoke rising from the sky, the three Baylors immediately became excited. They had been waiting for this moment for a long time.
"Kill!" Dai Shan drew his saber and swung forward, and the red flag under his command took the lead in attacking like a red flame.
"Kill!" Amin followed, and the iron rider with the blue flag was like a tumbling sea.
"Sons, the time has come to make a contribution. Kill! Seeing that the two older brothers had attacked, the young Azig also gave the order.
The three centaurs were like three sharp arrows, carrying the smoke and dust that rushed to the sky, killing the army formation of the white pole soldiers. At this time, because of the continuous deployment of troops. The white pole guards guarding the bridgehead are already very weak!
The three armies swept in like a gust of wind, and the soft-skinned egg-like Ming defense line didn't even have time to bubble up, and was drowned by the eight banners like the sea.
