Chapter 61 Raise the banner of the king's life, raise the Son of Heaven!
Looking at the large number of Jiannu who were pushing the cart to Xishan, Zhang Gui's heart began to raise his throat, this was the second time he was in the battle formation, but he was more nervous than the first time.
Because the first time it was just an attack on a caravan, and this time it was a battle against a serious army.
Regarding Jiannu, Zhang Gui has seen a lot of records about them in his previous life.
In general, Zhang Gui knew that Jiannu's Eight Banners were indeed an elite and strong army during this period, but they were not invincible.
Zhang Gui believed that after such a long period of targeted training, these people on his side would not even be able to defeat the five Niu Lu Jiannu.
Zhang Gui glanced at the apocalypse.
He found that Apocalypse was not as nervous as he was, but looked calmly ahead.
Of course, it cannot be ruled out that he stabilized the morale of the army and forced him to be calm.
Zhang Gui then looked at Sun Chuanting again, and instructed in a low voice: "You are a training officer from a jinshi, and you must first show your loyalty and courage in the future, and you must dare to rush to the front and assault, understand?" β
Sun Chuanting nodded: "Understood!" β
Zhang Gui smiled slightly, and then Tianqi took a look at the monoculars produced by Xishan and looked at Mang Gurtai in front of him.
Mang Gurtai squinted at the side of the Ming army, and said to his deputy, Derge: "This Ming army is well-trained, has high morale, and seems to have some combat strength. β
Derge also nodded: "It's good to have a strong army, otherwise we will enter the customs in vain." β
"Report! Lord Belle, our scouts found a troop of soldiers and horses behind us, and they were waving bear-shaped flags and hanging the banner of the royal order of the Inspector of the Ministry of War. β
Ao Bai came to Mang Gurtai at this time and said.
Mang Gurtai was shocked when he heard this: "Bear barbarian? β
The Jiannu people hated Xiong Tingbi the most, because Xiong Tingbi suffered the most during his tenure in Liaodong, so Jiannu also called Xiong Tingbi Xiong Tingbi.
Derge also said: "It should be him, according to Zhang Cunren, he Xiong Tingbi is now the chief teacher of the Xishan Martial Arts Academy!" β
After hearing this, Mang Gurtai said: "It can be regarded as meeting him, and the order is to go down, and the whole army will turn around and go to beat him Xiong Tingbi." β
"Ministry, you should go into Huairou City to command, in the field under the banner of the king's order, and worry about your safety."
Sun Yingyuan is persuading Xiong Tingbi here.
Xiong Tingbi waved his hand and said, "No! The main hall must stay here with the general, and the royal flag of the main hall must be played out so that Jiannu can see it, in this case, Jiannu will take the initiative to attack the main hall first, and His Majesty's side will be fine. β
"Message! Lift up my big sword and let Jiannu see it! β
Apocalypse also ordered at this time.
"Your Majesty, this is?"
Zhang Gui asked.
Tianqi said: "The Jiannu on the other side are advancing slowly, it may be that the other party's master will be cautious in using troops, or it may be because Xiong Qing is deliberately luring the enemy as his own supervisor. β
"Your Majesty said yes."
Zhang Gui has to admit that Tianqi is also a very brave person, very similar to Zhengde.
It didn't take long for Ao Bai to find that the Ming army on the opposite side had set up a great edict that only the Son of Heaven had, and therefore excitedly came to report this to Mang Gurtai.
"The Son of Heaven?"
"Emperor Ming Tianqi is here?"
Mang Gurtai asked excitedly.
Ao Bai said: "The slave doesn't dare to hide from Lord Belle, the establishment of the Ming army in front of him has set up a big plan!" β
After hearing this, Mang Gurtai personally rode his horse to the front, and when he saw Daxu, his eyes lit up.
Derg therefore asked him, "Do you still turn around?" β
"No, it's gone! Order, move on, be sure to capture the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom alive! Where can Xiong Manzi compare with the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom. β
Mang Gurtai said.
So, Jiannu's side continued to advance towards Tianqi and Zhang Gui's side.
Although Jiannu is mainly infantry, it is not all infantry, and there are also cavalry who are brave and good at fighting.
At this moment, Ao Bai waited for the brave and warlike Bayala to ride well, and at this time, the horse ran towards the Ming army first, trying to force the Ming army to fire lead bullets in advance because of the nervousness generated by the cavalry charge.
But the Ming army did not do this, although Xia Yunyi's palms were already covered with sweat, and his breathing was heavy like thunder, but because Sun Chuanting and these instructors shouted next to him as usual, not to shoot in advance, but to obey the order, he resisted the urge to quickly pull the turtledove gun.
Ao Bai waited for Bayala to continue to advance, and when he was within 100 steps of the Ming army, he suddenly took a bow and shot a series of arrows at the Ming army, the so-called continuous arrow is an uninterrupted archery, and then caused continuous damage to the other party.
As a result, many of the students of the enlisted student corps fell on the side of the Ming army, and they screamed miserably.
"Your Majesty is behind us, we are protΓ©gΓ©s of the Son of Heaven, we can't let Your Majesty down, no matter how painful it is, we have to endure it! Don't be afraid, go into battle to kill the enemy without sacrifice, and dying on the battlefield is the glorious death of a man! β
A trainer like Sun Chuanting was cheering up at this time, while a pacifying officer like Huang Degong was more rude, directly pulling out his knife, and preparing to cut whoever was cowardly.
Most of the students of the Martial Arts Academy enlisted student corps who faced the enemy head-on were loyal to the monarch, because many of them were born as jinshi or had experience in the army, so they did not collapse because of this, but continued to maintain the formation.
Seeing this, Ao Bai and other Jiannu Bayala couldn't help but show fear in his eyes, and began to hurriedly turn his horse's head and run back.
"Put!"
At this time, Ma Shilong, a veteran in charge of commanding the enlisted student corps, gave the order to fire firearms on the side of the Ming army.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
Suddenly, white smoke filled the air, and the lead bullets swept at the moment when these Jiannu Bayala turned their horses' heads, and many of the horses under the command of Bayala fell to the ground, and they themselves were also thrown out to play, and some Bayala himself was shot and fell to the ground.
Once a buckshot five times larger than a bird's lead bullet breaks through the flesh, in this era, for Jiannu, who has no antibiotics, there is only a chance to die, if not a fatal injury.
Mang Gurtai began to clench his fists, and the fighting quality of the Ming army in front of him was beyond his imagination.
Because in his experience, when his Eight Banners soldiers excluded Bayala from charging the Ming army, the battle situation was decided, and the Ming army would generally put firearms at this time, and then flee in a swarm, and then the elite ones would force themselves to these Manchurian Bayala when they released the beaded arrows, and the camp was in chaos, and there were very few Ming troops who could carry the beaded arrows and did not collapse.
"Such a Ming army, the last time I encountered it in the Hunhe River, right?"
Mang Gurtai couldn't help but ask the Derg.
Derge nodded solemnly: "That's right, that's the descendant of the Qi family's army." Three Baylors, we seem to have met a fierce rival! β
"Ben Baylor is going to kill the guy surnamed Zhang! He didn't tell us that the Ming army here was different from other Ming troops! β
After gritting his teeth and saying, he said: "The next thing is only a fierce battle, let the returning Niu Lu Bayala and the red armor soldiers all dismount, and urge the armored soldiers of this Niu Lu to fight on foot!" Although I was deceived by this surnamed Zhang, it is obvious that this Ming army is the elite of the Ming Emperor, if it can be defeated, no one in the Ming court will dare to fight against my Dajin again! β
"Wow!"
Derg agreed, and gave the order.
