Chapter 73: Victory in the First Battle

I have to say that Aobai's battlefield reading ability is really powerful.

The cavalry of the Ming army had just broken the Baoyi, and Ao Bai foresaw that it was impossible to win today's battle, so he was very decisively ready to withdraw from the battlefield and meet with the turning Baoyi.

The Ming infantry on the battlefield naturally refused to give up.

Immediately launched a more fierce attack on Jiannu, wanting to entangle Jiannu.

At this juncture, Ao Bai once again showed his courage and determination, decisively leaving ten Yabala soldiers, leading a Niu Lu Yellow Flag Eight Banners to cover the main force to break away.

With Aobai's decision, the main force of Jiannu quickly broke away from the main battlefield.

The price paid was that the broken Jiannu was surrounded by the Ming army.

The cavalry of the Ming army who arrived later tried to attack the main force of the Eight Banners of Aobai, but found that the retreating Jiannu retreated without chaos, and they could actually turn back and release arrows after retreating.

Especially the dozens of white-armored soldiers who were left behind.

It posed a great threat to the Ming cavalry who followed and killed.

One of the Yiding broke away from the brigade and launched a brazen attack, only to be shot and killed by the white-armored soldiers who fell behind.

These Jiannu not only have excellent archery skills, but also have extremely rich combat experience, because most of the Yiding are wearing straight body armor, and heavy arrows may not be able to shoot through with one arrow, let alone guarantee that they will hit the vital point.

But shooting a horse is different, the target of the war horse is much larger.

Moreover, the war horse has no armor protection, so it is easy to shoot.

After several attempts, the Ming cavalry realized that the cost of forcibly attacking the Jiannu infantry was too great, so they decisively gave up and turned around and joined the siege of the Jiannu who was in charge of the break.

The main force of Jiannu was able to meet Baoyi smoothly.

"Cha Liangnian!" Jabran galloped over.

"Master, the slave is here." Cha Liangnian hit his horse to meet him.

Yabran directly ordered: "Give your horse to Lord Aobai!" ”

"Huh!" In the face of Yabran's order, Cha Liangnian did not dare to refuse.

turned over and dismounted, and led the war horse to Aobai, who was shooting arrows.

Ao Bai was the last to retreat, and just now he personally led more than forty white-armored soldiers to break off, and used a strong bow to block the Ming cavalry who tried to pursue and kill.

"My lord, let's fight back!"

Jabran snapped an arrow to the string.

"There's no chance anymore." Ao Bai sighed, a little helpless, "The Ming army's car camp has arrived." ”

Yabran and the other Jiannu looked fixedly, and sure enough, they saw that the Ming army car battalion that was originally lagging behind had caught up, and the barn of the side van had also been opened, and the muzzle of the black hole had been aimed at this side.

Not only the Ming army car battalion, but also the side van of the Zhenghuang Banner Han Army has also been snatched by the Ming army infantry.

The infantry of the Ming army, who had freed their hands, was pushing the side van loaded with the Franc cannon to this side, and also aimed the muzzle of the black hole at them, and if the Eight Banners counterattacked at this time, they would just hit the muzzle of the Ming army.

It was useless to attack in a roundabout way, because the Ming army also had cavalry to protect the wings, and the chariot battalion could turn calmly.

At this point, the initiative on the battlefield has completely fallen into the hands of the Ming army, and Jiannu has no way to take the Ming army.

"I'll just say that the Eight Banners Han Army is unreliable, and the former Ming Army is even more unreliable." Jabran gritted his teeth and said, "Sure enough. ”

"You can't blame them, this time I was careless, give the order to go down and withdraw!" Ao Bai is still very sober, and knows that if he continues to consume it today, he will only suffer a greater loss.

"My lord, you can't withdraw!"

"There's another Niu Lu who hasn't come back!"

"Yes, kill back and pick up all of them!"

Yabran and dozens of white-armored soldiers were anxious when they heard this.

How long has it been since they suffered such a loss?

"Are you deaf? Evacuate! Ao Bai was furious.

With the sound of a low horn, the Eight Banners finally turned and retreated.

……

"Retreat but not chaos, defeat but not collapse, Jiannu is indeed elite!"

"It's a field battle of 1,000 people, and you can still fight a dozen by surprise."

"If this is a large-scale field battle with tens of thousands of people, it is purely a head-off."

Chongzhen put away the monoculars, took Zhu Cihong and Zhu Cijiong, and slowly walked to the front battlefield under the protection of the hundred Yiding of the Wujiaotan.

"Father, can't you really beat a large-scale field battle?"

"I can't really beat it, Jiannu is better than my Ming in terms of organization, training, quality of soldiers, weapons and equipment, or logistical support, at least at this stage."

"Is there no way? Will it always be like this? ”

"Of course not, there are still ways, but it can't be done now."

Hearing Chongzhen say that Daming still has a chance, Zhu Cihong and Zhu Cijiong's little brothers were in good spirits.

"I knew that my father would have a way." Zhu Cijiong rode his horse and took a few steps to catch up with Chongzhen, and cast a first-class adoring look at Chongzhen.

These two brothers have not been by Chongzhen's side for a long time.

But Chongzhen's deeds after the collapse of Beijing are already familiar, because the eunuchs, Yiding and several nobles who followed Chongzhen will keep telling them this.

The little brothers are full of infinite admiration for their father.

While speaking, the group had already come to the edge of the battlefield.

At this time, the Jiannu who left behind the broken were basically killed.

Only a dozen Jiannu remained, still resisting stubbornly in the chaotic army.

It's just that these dozen Jiannu are really tough, not only physically strong, but also extremely strong, wearing such heavy armor, they haven't exhausted their strength until now.

"Baya Soldiers!" Uba Tan said, "Protector of the Slave Chief! ”

"White-armored soldiers? It's no wonder, after all, it's a warrior in a hundred. ”

"It's a little stronger than our three thousand Yiding, and it's even inferior to us if we compete in riding and shooting." Wu Jiaotan's tone was obviously a little unconvinced.

Chongzhen just smiled when he heard this.

It's good to have this competitive spirit.

This person is afraid of lying flat, and he is afraid that he is not competitive.

In a few moments, the entire battlefield gradually returned to calm.

The dozen or so white-armored soldiers of Jiannu were finally stabbed to death, and the Ming army finally found the weakness after besieging for half a day, and continuously stabbed the white-armored soldiers in the face with spears, stabbing their heads to pieces.

When the last of the white-armored soldiers fell to the screams,

The entire battlefield fell into deathly silence at first.

In the dead silence, I don't know which Ming army roared first: Won!

Immediately, the soldiers of the Ming army who were fighting to the death for the rest of their lives opened their throats and roared loudly: Win, we won!

Many soldiers of the Ming army roared, and before they knew it, they had tears in their eyes, how many years had the Ming army not defeated Jiannu? In their memory, even a small skirmish had not been won in a long time.

But today, the Ming army finally won Jiannu again, and finally won again!

There was a Ming army who even cried loudly, it was too difficult, it was too difficult!

However, most of the Ming troops hugged each other and cheered hysterically.

The cheers of the soldiers of the Ming army finally converged into one voice: Ming Wansheng!

Chongzhen was also infected by this emotion of the soldiers, and involuntarily shouted loudly, and Zhu Cihong and Zhu Cijiong also blushed.

……

The Eight Banners with yellow flags had retreated several miles away.

However, even from a distance of several miles, a huge cheer could still be faintly heard from the direction of Ansan Town.

You can guess with your toes that it must be that the Niu Lu left behind the broken has been eaten by the Ming army, thinking of this, Ao Bai's face showed many complex emotions such as chagrin, remorse, and resentment.

"Lord Aobai." Gao Di came to Ao Bai in a panic.

Behind Gao Di, there were more than 2,000 troops under Gao Di.

The casualty number of Gaodi's 3,000 troops is actually not large, that is, more than 300 died when they were shot in line, and there were actually no deaths when they fled later.

In total, more than 400 were lost.

There are more than 2,500 that have been collected.

But when Ao Bai saw Gao Di, he was angry.

Today's defeat, of course, was the main reason for his carelessness of the enemy, but Gaodi's surrender army was about to collapse at the first touch, and it was also an inescapable crime and must be severely punished.

Ao Bai immediately drew his horsewhip,

Pull it over according to Gao Di's head and face.

Zu Zerun watched from the side and did not stop it.

Because he knew that Aobai was angry, and if he stepped forward to stop it at this time, he would attract Aobai's firepower to him, so he wouldn't be stupid enough to touch this moldy head.

……

On the other side, the Ming army has regained its calm.

"Holy!" Huang Degong walked quickly to Chongzhen.

"Jing Nanbo, congratulations, you have won a big battle!"

"The minister is ashamed, if it weren't for the saint himself leading a thousand Yiding to rush to the aid in time, the minister's old bones and more than 4,000 soldiers under his command would have been handed over to this Ansan Town."

"Long live the lord, long live the lord!"

As he was talking, he ran over with a high submersion.

Chongzhen was stunned, Gao Qiqian, this eunuch is not dead? It's been twice, and you're not dead?

"Long live the Lord Hongfu Qitian, the old slave is just a little bit of your blessing, and the battlefield is easy to use swords and guns, just now a Jiannu shot the old slave with an arrow at a distance of ten steps, but he didn't miss."

Chongzhen casually took out a silver coin and threw it to Gao Qiqian: "This is a reward for you." ”

"Long live you." Gao Qiqian took the silver coin and opened his palm happily, and then his expression fell.

No, are you mistaken? The old slave made such a great contribution, and you will reward you with a tael of silver? When the old slave was supervising the army in Jinzhou, Ningyuan, when did he fight and not make a few thousand taels?

Chongzhen no longer paid attention to Gao Qiqian, and said to Huang Degong: "Although my Ming Dynasty has won the victory this time, the casualties of Jiannu are actually not large, and I am sure that this time I will not only come to Shandong Jiannu all the way, if there is no accident, Jiannu will definitely launch the craziest revenge, so we have to evacuate here quickly." ”

Huang Degong was stunned and said: "Holy Lord, don't you go to the rescue of Linqing?" ”

"I'm not going." Chongzhen said, "Dongchang Mansion and Yanzhou Mansion don't want it. ”

The Beijing-Hangzhou Canal crosses through Dongchang and Yanzhou, and the Jiannu army can advance along the canal, so these two provinces will definitely not be able to hold it, if they can hold the two provinces of Dongchang and Yanzhou, they don't need to spend so much effort to build the Huanghuai defense line, and it would be better to directly block Jiannu in Shandong? But this is clearly unrealistic.
