Chapter 565: The Battle of the White Temple
Just before the arrival of the Houjin army, Ma Shilong and Song Wei also quarreled over the camp.
Song Wei thought that he should be in charge of the village and not give the cavalry of the Houjin army a chance to exert his might.
Ma Shilong doesn't see it that way. Song Wei's subordinates are mainly infantry, so it is naturally no problem to be in charge.
But his command is dominated by cavalry, and people don't eat grass, but horses eat grass.
The only place with abundant vegetation is near the river.
The two argued for a while, and finally decided to camp separately.
Song Wei led the battalion to set up a village, digging ditches and erecting fences.
Ma Shilong led the cavalry to camp by the river, and the cavalry dismounted to dig a ditch.
At this time, the Houjin army was killed.
They first rushed towards Song Wei, but they were all blocked by Song Wei's fence and rejection of horses.
Song Wei continued to dig a trench while using firearms to block the attack.
There were two oxen who were really killed.
Later, the Jin army evaded artillery fire one after another, and was unable to attack the position of Song Weibu of the Ming army for a long time.
At this time, Huang Taiji, who was on the front line, found soft persimmons.
That was the Ming infantry who assisted Ma Shilong in digging the trenches, these infantry were not wearing armor, and they were all wearing strange clothes.
As early as the Battle of the Hunhe River, Huang Taiji encountered Youyang Tusi and Shizhu Tusi soldiers, and immediately judged that this was an army from the southwest border.
"Raise the banner and follow me to storm a small group of infantry in the enemy cavalry."
Huang Taiji hurriedly ordered.
The accompanying flag bearer immediately waved the flag, and the armies quickly turned their spearheads and aimed at the infantry.
Who is this group of infantry?
It turned out that after the death of Qiu Hejia, the governor of Denglai, the four hundred Miao soldiers he brought with him had nowhere to go.
Sun Chengzong included this army in the standard camp and put it under the command of Song Wei.
When they set up camp, Sun Chengzong asked Song Wei to lend this group of Miao soldiers to Ma Shilong to assist them in digging a ditch.
At this time, the Miao soldiers were exposed outside the fortifications.
Huang Taiji then led the left flank army and rushed towards the infantry without fortifications.
Miao Bing saw that the situation was not good, turned his head and fled to Ma Shilong's position in the rear.
Huang Taiji led the army to follow this Miao soldier into the position of the Ming army Ma Shilong, and saw that the fences here were scattered and the trenches were dug unevenly, and he was overjoyed.
Liu Xingzuo, who was charging on the right flank, saw that the left wing army was attacking Ma Shilong's position, and immediately ordered to charge with the left wing army.
Beat Yang Chengying's Ming army, and Liu Xingzuo's brothers paddled the water, which was to leave a way back for themselves.
If you fight other Ming troops, you have to work hard, otherwise you won't be able to dispel Huang Taiji's suspicions.
The two armies rushed over in one.
"Quick, the forward soldiers rely on the fortifications to shoot."
Ma Shilong was dumbfounded and hurriedly ordered.
But he didn't expect one thing, most of these trenchers came from Yamanaga and would not work hard.
All the infantry did not listen to the order and retreated on their own.
The Houjin army followed this group of infantry, bypassed the fortifications, and attacked Ma Shilong's cavalry.
Ma Shilong had no choice but to lead the cavalry to fight back.
The two sides fought a bloody battle by the river.
said that it was a bloody battle, and it was Ma Shilong's side that shed blood.
Seeing that the general situation was irreversible, Ma Shilong was forced to lead his army to withdraw from the battle.
Otherwise, the total annihilation of the army is imminent.
While commanding the Houjin army to pursue and annihilate the remnants of the enemy, Huang Taiji was thinking: "Isn't this the same as the Battle of the Hunhe River?" ”
"During the Battle of the Hunhe River, two groups of Tusi soldiers and the Ming army advanced lightly and were surrounded and eliminated by us."
Huang Taiji said in his heart: "Qi Jin led the waste-like Zhejiang soldiers to rely on the car battalion, and they were unable to take the initiative to attack, so they could only be eaten by our army. ”
"When I think about it like this, I have to tune Wu Zhenchaoha!"
Thinking of this, Huang Taiji ordered in a loud voice: "Give the order to the cavalry, be sure to chase and destroy the remnants of the enemy, and not give the enemy a chance to breathe." ”
He himself led the Bayala Protector to dismount and rest, while waiting for the arrival of Uzhen Chaoha.
The Bayala Protectors were heavily armoured, and their horses could not withstand a long charge.
They dismounted to rest, and the Ming troops in the fence did not dare to come out.
Derge, Liu Xingzuo and others led the light cavalry to rush forward, chased Ma Shilong for forty miles, and killed four Ming lieutenant generals.
While they were in pursuit, Song Wei sent people to take the risk of picking up gunpowder and baggage discarded by the Ming army.
They are to fold the thickest armor and prepare to fight the enemy to the death.
Then why didn't they go out and rescue Ma Shilong?
It's not that I don't want to, but I can't do it.
According to the arrangement of Old Man Sun's chariot camp, an average of ten soldiers had to serve a chariot, and they also had to maintain fences and trenches.
In the car camp, hearing that Ma Shilong's army was defeated like a mountain, Zhang Chun was a little anxious.
"Zhang Jianjun don't be afraid, this car battalion is as strong as a city, and there are exterminating cannons, general cannons and Hongyi cannons in the 'city'."
Sun Chengzong comforted him: "As long as we defend this car camp, the Tartars will not be able to attack it." ”
Zhang Chun was a little relieved.
Outside the Che camp, the Houjin army also seemed to choose to confront each other and did not attack rashly.
Just when both sides were tense and confrontational, Tong Yangxing came with the Wuzhen Chaoha artillery unit!
Although the number of Wuzhen Chaoha cannons is not as good as that of the Ming army, there are several Hongyi cannons weighing more than 3,000 catties and dozens of general cannons.
Huang Taiji led the army to quickly join up with this artillery.
"Haha...... You came at the right time, immediately set up the cannon on the mountain, I want to learn from Yang Chengying, and also fight from high to low. ”
Huang Taiji was very excited, "Bomb me indiscriminately, don't save gunpowder, don't want standards, just bomb me!" ”
"Huh."
Tong Yangxing led the Wuzhen Chaoha artillery, pushed all the artillery up, and lined up in the west of the Che battalion.
Then, there was a burst of indiscriminate bombardment against the Ming army's car camp.
The Ming army wanted to fight back, but found that it was far less powerful than the other party.
For a while, I saw countless lead bullets flying over the Ming army car camp. Like raindrops, it fell on the positions of the Ming army.
The earth is shaking.
Huang Taiji was overjoyed to see it, he completely understood Yang Cheng's happiness in applying the cannon at this time.
Rough, this is a sharp weapon.
At that moment, the sky suddenly became cloudy, and then it rained heavily.
Sun Chengzong saw the opportunity and ordered the Ming army to push out the rocket car and shoot at the Houjin army.
Rockets flying.
The rain and the fog brought by the rocket vehicles made the Uzhen Chaoha artillery lose its target.
"Ignore it, give me a bombardment of the Ming army's position."
Huang Taiji ordered: "Just fight, don't pay attention to other things." ”
The completely aimless fire of the Uzhin Chaoha artillery destroyed the rocket car in one fell swoop.
It was only at this point that Sun Chengzong realized that he might be completely annihilated.
He has never been on the front line in his life, and now in the face of this chaotic situation, he has lost reliable judgment.
Song Wei ran over and said, "Supervisor, you can't fight anymore."
Please discard these burdens and lead the army to evacuate this place quickly, and do not bury the worthless soldiers of a hundred battles here. ”
"Inspector Sun, General Song is right! You go quickly, I will lead the wounded soldiers to hold on, and create an opportunity for retreat. ”
Zhang Chun, the overseer on the side, hurriedly said.
When Sun Chengzong saw it, he had to agree with their words.
Song Wei led the army to protect Sun Chengzong and quickly evacuated eastward.
Zhang Chun stayed and held on.
Huang Taiji looked forward to it and immediately ordered: "The whole army will launch an attack, and kill all the soldiers of the Ming army as long as they do not surrender." ”
