Chapter VI

Jue Luobaishan felt that the Ming cavalry in front of him should be a relatively large patrol force, and only the well-equipped elite cavalry of the Ming army dared to come out to reconnoiter at this time.

This patrol must be caught up and eliminated, and there are not many elite cavalry like the Ming army. It is much better to destroy them now while they are few than to fight the battlefield in the future.

Seeing that the patrol wanted to escape, Jue Luo Baishan immediately ordered a pursuit. Be sure to eliminate them before they flee into Pyongyang City to prepare for the upcoming battle for Pyongyang.

The 1,200 red-armored Bayala troops under his command were the elite carefully selected by Nurhachi from the Eight Banners. Whether in terms of equipment or physique, he is the top of the Eight Banners. In peacetime, Nurhachi used them as his own soldiers.

During the Battle of the Hunhe River, they were the first to break through the military formation of the white pole soldiers. And on the second day, they continued to break through the military formation of the Qi family's army. Their steel knives were stained with the blood of these two strong soldiers.

This time to fight in North Korea, Nurhachi just wanted to take Pyongyang in one fell swoop. As long as North Korea is taken, not only can there be one more place to replenish grain and straw. You can also have a stable rear when attacking the Ming Dynasty.

So this time, Nurhachi not only sent two blue flags, but also sent the veteran Jue Luo Baishan to lead the Red Jiabayala Army to help.

Man Gui ran desperately in front, and the Hongjia Baya army in the back chased desperately. The war horses of the Red Armor Bayala Army are all first-class good war horses, but the war horses of Man Gui are not so good. Where can the fifth master get so many good war horses, it would be good to get war horses.

Relying on the advantage of war horses, the Hongjia Bayala army chased closer and closer. Seeing that it had reached the distance of the bow and arrow, the Red Armor Bayala army drew their bows and arrows one after another. Arrows rained down, and Man Gui felt his back be slammed. The pain in the spine was terrible, and he hurriedly lowered his body. Another arrow hit his helmet with a "dang" sound.

Fortunately, the helmet was very sturdy and actually blocked the arrows. Otherwise, Man Gui's head would have to be shot through.

Many of Man Gui's men were also shot by arrows, but fortunately, the armor on their bodies was strong enough. Otherwise, many people will be lost before the battle is engaged. The elite of the Red Armor Bayala Army really lives up to its reputation.

"Run! In front of us is our military formation, as long as you enter the military formation, you will be safe. Man Gui's shouts were drowned out by the earth-shattering sound of horses' hooves, and no one could hear what he was saying except for a few people around him.

Li Xiao's nervous palms were sweating, but he was still standing at the front of the military formation. The arms are stretched out and the thumbs are raised high. Constantly estimating the distance of the Red Armor Bayala Army!

Seven hundred paces, this distance on the trebuchet is not accurate. But if they don't launch, Man Gui and they are likely to be caught up. The two armies were entangled together, and when the time came, they would launch bombs themselves, and they could only blow up and kill Man Gui together.

"The first group, the maximum throw distance. Launch! Li Xiao gritted his teeth and said. The vanguard of the Hongjia Bayala army was only one or two hundred steps away from Man Gui.

Hearing Li Xiao's command, the drummer behind him immediately blew the horn in his hand.

The sounds on the battlefield are chaotic, and only the sound of drums and gongs can be heard clearly enough. Li Xiao thought of this when he was training, and the trebuchets were divided into three groups. The sound of the trumpet represents the first group of launches, the sound of war drums represents the second group, and the sound of gongs represents the third group. The distance of the emission is expressed by the rhythm of the sound. This is the result of months of training, and Ao Canghai has put in a lot of hard work.

All artillery commanders do not have to listen to the commander's orders, as long as they hear their own voices. will launch a trebuchet! A red flag stands next to the trebuchet, and the red flag is erected to indicate that the reload is complete. When the red flag is down, it means that it is being reloaded.

Li Xiao, who was standing on top of the carriage box, knew which team was ready to shoot as long as he looked at it at a glance.

"Bang" "Bang" "Bang" ......! The first group of ten trebuchets fired together, and ten smoke-emitting bombs flew out.

Man Guizheng felt that there were constantly arrows shooting at him and the war horse, so he felt that something above his head flew over with a "whoosh". Before Man Gui could react, a long series of dense explosions came from behind him.

Seven hundred steps, although the trebuchet is not much accurate. Fortunately, the power of the nitrocellulose bomb charged should not be underestimated, and the huge explosion shot countless metal particles such as shrapnel, lead, and steel balls in all directions.

The armor on the Red Armor Bayala Army was shattered into pieces by these small metals. In an instant, the smoke of gunpowder engulfed the more than 200 cavalry who rushed ahead. Less than 50 people managed to escape from the smoke of gunpowder. Even these fifty people, most of them were covered in blood.

Some were lucky not to be hit by shrapnel, but the powerful blast of the blast still sent their heads dizzy. There was black blood coming out of everyone's ears.

Jue Luobaishan's heart tightened, could it be that the Ming army on the opposite side had artillery? The team that wants to charge stops, but the team that is charging can stop so easily. His shouts were completely drowned out by the earth-shattering sound of horses' hooves, and even his own soldiers could not hear what he was saying.

Under the effect of inertia, the war horse still charged forward frantically. Now Jue Luobai Mountain hates the high-quality war horses of the Hongjia Bayala Army, and ordinary war horses will be shocked when they hear such an explosion. Then they will scatter and will never run towards the place of the explosion.

But the war horses of the Hongjia Bayala Army are the best war horses of the Jurchens. These war horses are not afraid of loud noises or even swords, as long as they charge up, there is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire in front of them, and they are also indomitable.

It was because of the characteristics of these war horses that the Hongjia Bayala army defeated the well-organized Ming army again and again. But this time, the indomitable war horse will send them to hell after all.

The war drums sounded, and the commanders of the second group immediately knocked down the hammer in their hands without thinking about it.

"Bang" "Bang" "Bang" ......!

There was a dense burst of firing, and a second group of ten trebuchets was fired again.

The smoky bombs flew over Man Gui's head again, and the first wave of gunpowder smoke had not yet dissipated. A second wave of bombs had already fallen, followed by a series of dense explosions.

Li Xiao, who was in the carriage, even saw a big living person being blown up and flying. Of course, only the upper body flies, and the lower body remains on the wounded horse.

Some of the Tartars were hit in the eye by shrapnel, and the howls were so terrible that they even drowned out the explosions.

Li Xiao didn't expect that the explosion of just fifteen catties of nitrocellulose would produce such great power. Those small pieces of metal formed an iron curtain centered on the explosion point. Beat all the people and horses within the blast range into a sieve.

Even a sturdy war horse can't resist the explosion of chemical gunpowder. Near the explosion site, a piece of human and horse corpses fell.

Man Gui finally returned to the military formation, and someone rushed forward. Helping the wounded knight dismount, Man Gui asked him to pull out the seven or eight arrows stuck in his back. Some of the arrows had already pierced the armor and penetrated the flesh a full inch deep. Luckily, the silk lining makes it easier to pull out the arrows. Otherwise, you have to cut the wound with a knife.

"Help me get on the horse!" Man Gui asked people to put on their armor again, and commanded angrily.

After so many years of fighting, it is the first time that I have been chased so embarrassed. If it weren't for the strong armor, it would have been shot into a hedgehog long ago.

"Master Man! Your ......! ”

"Less fucking nonsense, help Lao Tzu get on the horse. Otherwise, Lao Tzu will cut you! Man Gui was carrying a horse chopping knife in his hand, and his eyes were fierce like a tiger.

No one dares to refuse Man Gui at this time, this guy will really kill people when he goes crazy. And it doesn't matter if it's an enemy or your own people!

"Ready! Put! When Man Gui was roaring, Ao Canghai was giving orders. Man Gui finally entered the military formation, and there was finally no one of his own in his shooting circle.

With Ao Canghai's order, the arquebus "crackled". It was as if a long string of firecrackers had been set off, and more than 300 Tartar cavalrymen rushed to a distance of two hundred paces on the opposite side. Immediately fell off the horse like a dumpling!

The musketeers were almost seamless, retreating as soon as the first row was fired. Then there is the second row for firing, and then there is the third row. After the third row has been fired, the first row has been reloaded.

More than 300 Tartar cavalry rushed to fifty paces, and there were less than ten men left.

Man Gui and his brothers rushed out of the military formation like fierce tigers. They will face the elite Red Armor Bayala Army, nine men, four of whom have been shot and are lying half-dead on their horses.

In addition to these nine people, the nearest Tartar soldier was also eight hundred paces away.

More than 100 people surrounded the nine disabled people and slashed hard, and if they were lucky, they could chop twice. If you are unlucky, you can only use your war horse to step on it twice. There is no way, the cavalry of Phi Dao is so helpless. They also want to fight with the Tartar soldiers, but the conditions are really not allowed.

"Separate! Apart! Attack their left and right flanks! "The 1,200 Red Armor Bayala Army that Nurhachi had personally handed over to him was only half wiped out in the blink of an eye.

Jue Luo Baishan's heart is dripping blood, and the best result of this battle is to commit suicide and apologize. Now they don't want to do anything, they just want to pull the back of these Ming soldiers on the other side before they die.

Years of battlefield experience told him that it was very difficult for such a Ming army to break through from the front. And their wings are very weak, as long as they are inserted from both wings. These cowardly Ming soldiers will become ghosts under their own swords.

To find these leading generals of the Ming army, drag him alive on his horse to pieces. Or use a knife to slice it into pieces and give Lao Tzu a drink to drink!
