Chapter 216: Breaking Jianyu's Spine

"Put!"

"Boom, boom—"

On the south bank of the Hunhe River, the three soldiers and horses of the Ming army, and more than 1,600 guns of General Yanshan's artillery were hot, and next to the artillery position on the frontal battlefield, Xiong Tingbi also laughed with his hands on his hips.

On the dim plain, the stone bullets fired by the Ming army's artillery were like iron plows, piercing and shattering the men and horses of the Jin army, plowing deep blood-colored ravines.

After a cup of tea, the artillery of the Ming army stopped, and Xiong Tingbi still said with a smile:

"Keep the shelling, Man Gui and Cao Wenzhao's iron cavalry is already about to catch up, they must be left here tonight!"

"Order the troops, kill Huang Taiji, and those who build the four major Baylors, reward 10,000 taels of silver, and seal the three products on the light car captain!"

Xiong Tingbi was still excited about the atmosphere of a thousand cannons, and kept sending out the Tang Cavalry Herald Army, vowing to encircle and suppress the Jin army here.

It's just that he didn't know that Nurhachi had received a ten-pound stone bullet from the shelling just now, and the war horse was smashed over in an instant, and his whole body fell to the ground like a dog gnawing mud.

"Khan Ama (Great Khan)!"

Seeing Nurhachi's people and horses planted, the Jin army was in chaos in an instant.

Fortunately, Baijia Balaya protected Nurhachi, who had fallen off his horse, so that he would not be trampled to death by ten thousand horses.

Huang Taiji was dragged by the Ming army who was not afraid of death, and even if he was stupid when he saw this, he understood that he should have been rewarded by the Ming army.

"Help me change the armor of the two red flags, and then let the two white flags spread out and ...... after breaking"

With a severely painful waist, Huang Taiji stumbled and said, and Gushan Ezhen next to him was stunned when he heard this.

After letting the two white flags disperse, to put it mildly is to send them to death.

At this moment, the Ming army went crazy to chase and kill the Jin soldiers in white armor, and did not let go of anyone who might be Huang Taiji.

In this case, Huang Taiji wanted to change his armor and let the remaining four or five thousand taels of white flags be broken, obviously preparing to exchange four or five thousand taels of white flags for his own life.

Gu Shan really understood everything, and then decisively waved his knife, helping Huang Taiji take off his cloth armor, and at the same time, he urgently draped one of the two red flags on his body.

He was draped in a red flag, and with the protection of cotton armor inside, he was not without a defensive armor.

"Lord Belle, what should we do now?"

Gushan really believes that his master, even if he does not have two white flags and his strength is damaged, but with the wisdom of his master, as long as he can survive, he will definitely be able to reunite a group of forces.

"Go to Khan Ama first, the stone bullet just now seems to have hit Khan Amma......"

At the same time that Huang Taiji gritted his teeth and endured the pain to say this, Yue Tuo, Hu Erhan and others not far away rushed to Nurhachi who had fallen from his horse, but they only saw Nurhachi lying on the ground with a pale face, clenched his teeth, and his forehead was covered with beads of sweat.

Huerhan and Yanguli helped Nurhachi up, but Nurhachi could only give up the idea of running to the mountains and fighting a sports war with the Ming army, and said intermittently:

"Withdraw...... Withdrawal ......"

At this time, he could no longer feel the existence of his left leg, only felt that his head was dizzy, and the people around him were also very flustered, and after helping Nurhachi on the horse, he didn't care about the etiquette, and rode with Nurhachi to prepare to charge and flee to Fushun.

In front of them, there were nearly 40,000 troops of Yang Wenyue, He Shixian, Xiong Tingbi and others, while on the mountain on the right were tens of thousands of troops and 30,000 people.

On the left is Qi Jin's six battalions of Zhejiang soldiers, and three or four miles away there are nearly 40,000 iron cavalry of Man Gui and Cao Wenzhao.

At this time, no one can think of a better way than to take a detour to break their arms to survive.

"Khan Ama!"

Huang Taiji, who was wrapped in a red flag, was escorted to the formation by Gushan Ezhen and met Nurhachi.

It's just that Nurhachi has passed out after being helped onto the war horse, and everyone can only focus on the injured Huang Taiji.

"After the two white flags are broken, the remaining two yellow flags and two red flags rush into battle, and I will bear all the casualties after the war!"

Huang Taiji, with his injured waist and pale face, could only bear this responsibility.

With this responsibility, the Jin army had the backbone, and Huerhan and Yanguli and others rode their horses to the front army.

They served as the generals of the former army, and rode their horses to charge in the first row, which invisibly gave the Jin army great encouragement and courage.

"The Great Age of Genes"

Directly ahead, there is an army of 40,000 Xiong Tingbi in front of the formation, and this place is wide, as long as you are willing to break your arm, it is normal to break through, provided that Huang Taiji is not exposed!

Once Huang Taiji was exposed, the Ming army would immediately abandon the two white flags after the break and chase them madly.

"Drive! Drive-"

"Put!"

"Boom, boom—"

The sound of the Jin army's horses and the Ming army's cannons, these two main melodies are mixed with the cries and neighs of stone bullets hitting people and war horses, making the entire battlefield full of blood.

"He Shixian, hold them back!"

At the critical moment, He Shixian's nine thousand iron horsemen came in handy.

They had been recuperating for a long time, and they were only waiting for this opportunity, so after Xiong Tingbi gave the order, He Shixian immediately responded, and then walked to the side, turned over and rode towards his own camp.

When the Jin army rushed into the range of one mile, He Shixian also ordered the whole army to be dispatched.

Nine thousand Liaodong iron horsemen rushed up against the Jin army like wild horses that had escaped the reins, holding three-eyed guns and short hammers.

"Pass the military order! Each broke through and rushed to Fushun to assemble! ”

Huang Taiji grabbed the reins of the horse with one hand and held the injured area with the other, and ordered with a pale face.

Not long after he gave the order, the army collided head-on with He Shixian's Liaodong Iron Cavalry.

"Bang Bang Bang-"

The three-eyed eyes and the riding bow faced each other, and for a time the Ming and Jin armies fell a lot, and in order to drag the Jin army, He Shixian could only choose to meet each other in short arms.

Nine thousand iron horsemen and more than thirty thousand horsemen collided together, people turned on their backs, and war horses neighed.

Except for Xiong Tingbi's artillery in his own formation, which stopped shelling, Qi Jin and the Ming artillery on the low mountain reloaded and opened up artillery fire.

"Boom, boom—"

Everything in the world seems to have become gray, the bright moon emerges from the clouds, the sun disappears early, the breeze after the rain is also shouted and killed, and the battlefield is chaotic, and the Jin army obeys Huang Taiji's military orders, but if the breakthrough is successful, no one turns back, and rushes straight to both sides of Xiong Tingbi's army.

The Ming army, which had been prepared for a long time, appeared on the left and right sides of a five-pound Yanshan general's cannon, and they were loaded with scattered bullets that the cavalry was afraid of.

"Put!"

"Bang bang bang-"

Compared with the dullness of the ten-pound cannon, the five-catty cannon has a crisp explosion.

The gun's arquebuses were lit with a "snort", and then a roar erupted, and five pounds of scattered stones were struck.

Like a goddess scattering flowers, the stone swept most of the Jin army down in an instant, and after the cannon ended, a pole of fire was erected on the triangular support.

This kind of fire gun with a triangular bracket and a rotating device is the gun that Huang Taiji feared before, it is one zhang long, weighs twenty catties, and can penetrate the chariot within one hundred and twenty steps, nicknamed "Nine-headed Bird", and is powerful.

When the three hundred guns on the left and right were set up and filled with gunpowder, except for a small group of Jin troops who fled, the Jin troops who broke through one after another met its resistance.

The sound of "Peng, Peng, Peng" continued to sound, and when the guns were raised, the foot soldiers also began to spread the formation, trying to block all the Jin troops on the plain.

It's just a foot soldier, how can it compare to the speed of a war horse?

Even if the Jin Army's horsepower is exhausted, it is still not something that can be caught up with two legs.

"Don't care about these ordinary prisoners, kill Huang Taiji and catch the old slave!"

Huang Taiji's bounty had already been ordered by Zhu Youzhen to all armies, and everyone coveted his bounty, and everyone was waiting for him.

Nurhachi, who was seriously injured and unconscious, Huang Taiji and others were unable to break through from the Ming army at all.

Seeing more and more Ming troops rushing towards Daxu around him, Huang Taiji could only shout bitterly:

"Cut the big sword!"

If the Great Commander falls, it is no less than the Lord will be killed, and the army may be defeated in an instant.

But at the moment, Huang Taiji had no choice, only by cutting down Daxu to indicate that Nurhachi was dead, and the two white flags were left behind to attract the Ming army, they could successfully break through.

In this case, the result of not cutting Daxu is that the two yellow flags and the two white flags have to be left here, this time they entered Liao to underestimate the mobility of the Ming army training for two years, and also underestimated Xiong Tingbi's command ability to Liaodong soldiers and horses, and even underestimated the madness of the Ming army for the reward.

At that time, Emperor Wanli also issued a reward of tens of thousands of taels to kill Nurhachi, but the result was that the Ming army at that time was just a personal madness and was easy to be broken, but now, it ......

Looking at the Ming army that had united with a sentry and a battalion and tried to kill Nurhachi and Huang Taiji, all the Jin troops were relieved.

In this battle of Liao, the Jin army's tactics were very good, but the strategic purpose was in vain.

Not only did they fail to inflict heavy losses on any of the Ming troops, but they even lost nearly half of their soldiers and horses, just because they mistakenly underestimated the coordination and mobility of the Ming army.

At this point, Huang Taiji no longer thinks about turning defeat into victory, he only asks to survive and return to Fushun alive.

"Kill—"

Enduring the pain, Huang Taiji also pulled out a long knife and slammed it on the big sword next to him, and Gushan Ezhen next to him saw this, and he also cracked it several times in a row, cutting down the Chinese army......

"The Chinese army of the Jin army has fallen! Could it be that the old slave was killed? ”

At this time, the generals of the Ming army on the battlefield all noticed the scene of the fall of the Jin army.

"Continue to encircle! Don't worry about anything else, as long as the corpse is there! Xiong Tingbi put down his binoculars, and at this time, the sky was getting darker and darker.

Perhaps taking advantage of the dim environment, the two white flags of Baijia Balaya escorted Nurhachi and Huang Taiji and others out of the encirclement of the Ming army, and chiseled a hole in He Shixian's department and led a large number of Jin troops to rush out.

It was only at the same time as they rushed out that there was also a dense sound of horses' hooves directly behind the battlefield.

Tens of thousands of iron horsemen carrying torches arrived, and they had a short break from their horsepower, which would be a nightmare for the Jin army.

"The Four Cavalry Guards are here! Kill—"

He Shixian held the golden gourd hammer in his hand, and smashed the Jin army horse infantry who were trying to escape from the horse with a hammer, and clamped the horse's belly, and the war horse stood high, and the front hooves fell heavily.

With just one blow, the fallen Jin Army's horse infantry was no longer moving.

The sky was completely dark, and no one could find Huang Taiji and Nurhachi in the Jin army formation that was not ignited, and He Shixian searched for the figure while slashing and killing the surrounding Jin army.

Nai Yu Daxu was cut off by Huang Taiji's own order, and the Jin army at this moment only knew how to break through, and didn't care about anything else at all.

Niu Lu's Niu Lu really became the commander on the battlefield, they united their own troops to break through, and the move of 30,000 people to break through in all directions was not something that He Shixian's less than 9,000 men and horses could stop.

They were quickly passed through, and even though there were many Jin army horse infantry left, more Jin army horse infantry continued to rush towards both sides of Xiong Tingbi's headquarters.

Although there are nearly 30,000 foot soldiers in Xiong Tingbi's headquarters, compared to the number of people, there is no danger at all in the plain area nearly ten miles long from north to south.

The 30,000-strong army was ready to defend against the enemy with Yanshan General Cannon, Tiger Squat Cannon and other artillery, and constantly harvested the Jin army on both sides of the army who were trying to escape.

"Bang-"

General Yanshan's cannon was roaring, and each of their shots was knocking down dozens of Jin troops.

In the midst of the breakout, Huang Taiji, who was wrapped in a banner, thought that he was fine, but when he heard the sound of artillery, the white armor next to him was swept and shot in the next second, and he fell from his horse and died.

Most of the generals of the Jin army were still able to resist the stone bullets that had penetrated the war horses, but Huang Taiji was not.

He took off his cloth armor, and only the chain mail and cotton armor were inside......

"Ahh

! ”

The left arm and left leg were shot, and the war horse was also shot and fell down, throwing Huang Taiji out of the air, falling to the ground, and rolling and crawling several times in a row.

"Lord Belle!"

A group of Jin army generals looked at Huang Taiji's tragic situation, only the scalp was numb, and turned over and dismounted to help him up.

The arms and legs were inlaid with stone bullets, although they couldn't all enter the cotton armor, but Huang Taiji was not lightly injured, not to mention that his waist was already injured, and now he was thrown out by the war horse and fell several times.

He fainted, and when Gushan Ezhen, who was in the white flag, saw this, he immediately dragged down a white armor baraya, and united everyone to help Huang Taiji onto the horse, and continued to run.

Screams kept coming from the encirclement behind him,

Man Gui, Cao Wenzhao, and He Shixian went hand in hand and led nearly 50,000 iron cavalry in pursuit.

A large number of Jin troops were fleeing in the dark, and the two white flags were left behind.

At this time, the Ming army began to besiege the two white flags in large numbers, and Man Gui saw this and immediately shouted to the surrounding generals and Tang Qi:

"Jianyu left two white flags to survive, Huang Taiji must not be in the army, and the army will continue to pursue with me!"

After saying that, Man Gui led the generals and cavalry around him to continue the pursuit, and after the Tang cavalry passed the news to all parts of the battlefield, the cavalry of all divisions also came to their senses, decisively abandoned the two white flags that were abandoned as chess pieces, and chased towards the Jin army.

"Encircle and suppress the captives, harvest the head!" Seeing that the cavalry had no intention of staying, Xiong Tingbi immediately commanded the infantry to begin to surround the thousands of gold troops who could not escape.

"Drive-"

50,000 iron cavalry galloped through the infantry army formation, encircling and suppressing the fleeing Jin army, and Qi Jin, Xiong Tingbi and Yang Wenyue also converged to form a huge infantry lineup of nearly 60,000 people, pressing forward step by step.

From the ambush to Fushun, a total of thirty miles, for the frightened bird-like Jin army at this time, it is simply a long road that has never been walked.

They were galloping, and the Jin army, which was underpowered, was slashed all the way by the Ming army.

The sky was getting darker and darker, and in the end, only the moonlight in front and the fire of the Ming army's iron cavalry in the rear were juxtaposed.

The tens of thousands of gold troops who fled were constantly killed by the Ming army in the mode of hunting, and the number became smaller and smaller......

"Drive-"

"Drive-"

Everyone was galloping, and some people even flipped to the ground with their horses because they didn't dare to light torches, and before they could react, they were swept over by the Ming army who was chasing behind them wielding a golden gourd hammer and smashing it with a hammer......

The military horses with insufficient horsepower were all abandoned, and the horses were directly abandoned, and when Fushun on the other side of the Hunhe River had appeared, and the Great Wall had also faintly emerged, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

On the south bank of the Hunhe River, 3,000 Zhenglan Banner Zhenqi with 4,000 false captives and 30 artillery pieces were waiting for them, apparently someone had arranged to meet them.

"Quick! Send the Great Khan and Baylor back to Fushun first! ”

Hu Erhan and the others rode their horses to the bank of the Hunhe River, and immediately roared, which made the people of Zhenglan Banner first put Huang Taiji and Nurhachi and others on the boat, and then Hu Erhan and Yanguli, Zilharang and others looked at Abatai and Yuetuo.

"I will stay to rectify the rout, as long as the formation is defended, the Ming cavalry will not be able to attack!"

Yue Tuo took the initiative to ask to stay, and after Hu Erhan and the others said to take care, they got on the boat and took Nurhachi and Huang Taiji and others to Fushun on the north bank of the Hunhe River in the first batch.

"Blow the wooden whistle, and if there are any more routs, they will all be killed!"

Seeing that Huerhan and they were far away from the shore, Yue Tuo immediately commanded the soldiers and horses with the blue flag to start blowing the wooden whistle.

The sound of "beep" continued to sound, and at the same time, the Jin army, which had fled to the south bank of the Hunhe River, slowly regained its former composure in the sound of wooden whistles.

Thousand...... Three thousand...... Five thousand...... Seven thousand......

As the fleeing Jin army slowly calmed down, coupled with the soldiers and horses of the blue flag and the Han soldiers, the Jin army began to form a panicked formation.

As far as the current scene is concerned, Yue Tuo knows very well that only by forming a formation can the Jin army withdraw smoothly one by one.

Once the army is in chaos, Man Gui will not let go of this opportunity, and will inevitably drive the iron cavalry to drive the Jin army down the Hunhe River and drown.

At this moment, the Hunhe River, which is less than 200 steps wide, has become a moat, and the Jin army is also receiving the fleeing Jin army little by little.

Yue Tuo was in the middle of the formation, lighting the bonfires prepared by the blue flags around him, and his face was very ugly.

He could clearly see that the number of Jin troops who broke through from the battlefield was less than one-third of that when they went out, and most of them were wounded.

"Drive! Drive-"

The sound of horses' hooves "rumbling" hit, and then a large black shadow appeared on the horizon.

In front of the black shadow, there were hundreds of scattered soldiers and horses frantically waving their horsewhips and fleeing, while in the rear were more than 50,000 horsemen of the Ming army who lit torches and pursued.

"Bang bang bang-"

"Uhh......h

"Help me! Save people! ”

The Jin army, which was invincible in the past, was chased and slaughtered by the Ming army like a lost dog at this moment.

Whenever an iron rider stops after releasing his gun, there is always a follow-up iron horse riding up to catch up and shoot with his gun.

Not only the cavalry, but also tens of thousands of iron cavalry such as He Shixian and Cao Wenzhao were also shooting arrows with bows and arrows to shoot the fleeing Jin army in front.

In the formation on the south bank of the Hunhe River, all the Jin troops faced this scene, looking at the children of their own clan being hunted by the Ming army like slaughtering dogs, only to feel cold all over, and Tong Kong trembled.

This is a scene that has not appeared for many years, perhaps for the younger generation of Jin Jun, this kind of picture is incredible, but for the older Jin Jun, this scene reminds them of the memory of being conquered and beaten by the Liaodong Iron Cavalry outside the Great Wall.

"Don't panic! The Ming army pursued for hundreds of miles, and the horsepower had long been exhausted, so the soldiers and horses and the garrison were waiting to retreat! ”

At the critical moment, Yue Tuo's words to stabilize the morale of the army were spoken, and the surrounding Tang cavalry also hurriedly sent orders to all armies.

Under the order of Tang Cai, the Jin army's originally wavering military spirit stabilized again.

This is the disadvantage of small countries and widows, they can't withstand too much loss and toss, no matter how barbaric they are, they will have a nervous breakdown when they see their comrades disappear one by one.

At this moment, the Jin army, whose spirit is on the verge of collapse, relies on Yue Tuo, 3,000 soldiers and horses with blue flags and 4,000 fake captives to maintain stability.

However, in front of them, hundreds of Jin troops were all killed by the Ming army before they could reach a hundred paces away, leaving not a single living ......

"Phew—"

"Stop!"

When Man Gui, who was chasing with iron cavalry, led people to chase and kill all the Jin army routs in front of him, he immediately saw the fire on the other side of the Hunhe River, and the boats on the south bank of the Hunhe River that kept receiving the Jin army's rout.

He stopped first, picked up his binoculars and looked at them.

When he saw more than 30 artillery pieces on the north bank of the Hunhe River, and the Jin army on the south bank had begun to form a formation, Man Gui frowned slightly, and after making sure that Nurhachi and Huang Taiji were not in the formation, he began to weigh it.

Although He Shixian's three battalions of iron cavalry are still full of horsepower at present, in fact, the horsepower of Man Gui and Cao Wenzhao is no longer enough.

Like the Jin army, which had collapsed, the horsepower of the Ming army began to dry up.

In the middle of the pursuit, Man Gui noticed that many Ming soldiers who had run to death had fallen from their horses, and the war horses under his own crotch were about to collapse.

In such a situation, it is no longer possible to rush into battle, or repeatedly face suddenly.

Thinking of this, Man Gui could only frown and said:

"The Jin army is in formation, and the horsepower of the soldiers and horses under me and Cao Zongbing is exhausted, and the artillery of the army and the soldiers and horses of Xiong Jingluo's headquarters are afraid that they have not marched for twenty miles, and if they want to fight, they can only wait for the horsepower to recover."

"! I don't know if Huang Taiji and the old slave are dead. He Shixian immediately stepped forward and heard Man Gui's words, so he couldn't help but scold.

Cao Wenzhao, who came up closely, also looked at the firelight in the distance with binoculars, but he couldn't see it clearly.

"Jianyu not only ran to this side, but many ran into the mountains, but looking at the posture, it seems that there are only a few thousand Jianyu who fled here, and the old slaves have lost at least half of the soldiers and horses who have entered Liao."

Cao Wenzhao's words made Man Gui and He Shixian, as well as a group of Ming army generals, raise their binoculars and clairvoyance to look at the retreating Jin army.

"Don't talk about killing 20,000 or 30,000, even if you only kill 10,000, this battle is also earned!"

He Shixian put down his binoculars, calmed down his excited mood, and teased him with his loud voice.

He teased, and the generals and generals of the whole army who followed up laughed loudly.

A first-grade one hundred taels of silver, this is a promise made by His Royal Highness King Qi himself.

All the generals know that His Royal Highness the King of Qi will not be as selective as the military department and the military department, as long as it is confirmed that it is the head of the real captive, regardless of whether there is a facial injury or not, a silver reward will be issued.

In other words, the capture of the Ming army this time was worth at least one million taels of silver.

Thinking of the amount of silver, most of the people's breathing became thicker, and only Man Gui and Cao Wenzhao did not look good.

Until it is certain that Huang Taiji and Nurhachi are dead, they will not have any thoughts of happiness at all.

Completing the military order of the King of Qi is their first task, thinking of this, Man Gui immediately ordered:

"The whole army rests and prepares to face again!"

Since there is no way to determine whether Nurhachi and Huang Taiji are dead, it is particularly important to complete the third task assigned by Zhu Youzhen......

Kill the Jin Army at any cost!
