Chapter 063: Attacked on the shore

"Here we are..."

Wang Xiaojie has never been in contact with the Tartars, he became a commander in the identity of a martial artist after the formation of Songjiangwei, but he is very bloody as a soldier, seeing the Tartar cavalry killing, it was as if he had been beaten with chicken blood, and shouted: "Archers prepare, throw guns ready." ”

Two hundred steps, one hundred and fifty steps, one hundred steps...

"Put..."

Whoosh...

"Engage the enemy..."

A huge crash sounded, and Wang Xiaojie's troops took the lead in engaging the Tartar cavalry who came from the right side.

Chen Cao paced back and forth after receiving the report, and from time to time there were heralds telling the Dahewei on the left to engage the Tartar cavalry.

"From which direction will they attack?" Chen Cao looked at the battlefield in the distance and the shouting and killing sounds, his hands were trembling, and he was ready to fight in person.

"Report, uncle," the herald looked panicked: "The forward position of the Great River Guard has been broken through, and Commander Weng has already led his troops to engage the Tartars in this formation, and Commander Weng asks Uncle for support." ”

Chen Cao took a deep breath, Weng Linzhi's Dahewei was a veteran soldier in Huai'an, and most of them were newly formed personnel, and it was already the maximum limit to be able to engage with the Tartar cavalry with a breath.

"Immediately send an order to Song Che and ask Nanjing Right Guard to transfer three hundred households to support Dahewei." Chen Cao shouted.

The herald ran away, and Chen Cao ordered again: "I am transferring three hundred households to support Songjiangwei." After speaking, he turned to look at Zhao Xin: "Take my knife." ”

Wang Xiaojie just knocked down a Tartar cavalry in danger, and the defense line behind him collapsed, and he finally wiped off the Tartar under him with a knife, and his family leaned over: "My lord, go quickly, this formation has been broken through, and Wu Bangwen behind us has run away." ”

"Dog thing..."Wang Xiaojie scolded angrily: "Quick, pass the order, this team assembles, moves closer to Uncle Dingwu, and sends a message to the uncle, Songjiangwei commanded Wu Bangwen to escape from the battle, resulting in a great defeat for our guard." ”

Although Songjiangwei is the army of Nanzhili, it also belongs to the Zhejiang Bei Japanese sequence, and deals with the Japanese all the year round, but when the Zhejiang Japanese were in turmoil, Songjiang Wei was the former commander of Lu Hua and collapsed without a fight, thinking that these people are not elite troops, plus the commander Wu Bangwen was originally behind Wang Xiaojie as a reserve support, who knew that when he saw Wang Xiaojie's front team camp being broken through, his side immediately put on the role of picking a pick, and retreated with his own personal guards.

The people in his formation saw that the commander had run away, and they also ran, and under the chain reaction, Wang Xiaojie's department, which was fighting with the Tartars in the front team, also suffered a rout.

"Running in?" Wang Xiaojie came to Liaodong for the first time, he was not a fool, there was the sea behind him, if he ran over and attacked Chen Cao's army, he said that he would not be killed in battle: "Order, you must not leave the team without authorization, the general flag of each team is 100 households, and those who dare to leave the team and flee will be killed by the official to kill his whole family." ”

"Uncle," the herald came running again: "Songjiangwei has been defeated, the Tartar cavalry has broken through their own formation, and the rout is rushing towards our side. ”

Chen Cao was shocked and immediately shouted: "Zhang Fengnian, mobilize the team of family members to go to Songjiangwei's position with me to supervise the battle, and those who dare to attack this formation will be killed." ”

There are not a few things that have led to the rout of the whole army in this formation, and the sky has not yet dawned, and once the psychology of the soldiers fleeing spreads, it will spread like a plague, although Chen Cao is confident that his right guard will not be affected by twists and turns, but if it is affected by the rout, it will inevitably cause a major incident.

There are now more than 40 people left in the 100 households under Yan Chun, and the rest of them all died on the forward position, but even if Ha Sihu's elite armor soldiers with yellow flags attacked Tang Kainian's forward position, they were still blocked by the car formation and could not move, plus Song Che led the army to arrive in time, and the reinforcements defeated all Ha Sihu's men and horses in a cup of tea, and had to retreat to seek fighters after dropping more than 300 corpses.

"Mobilize five hundred households to support Tang Kainian's department here." Song Che shouted: "Order the 3,000th household to go to the right side to support Songjiangwei." ”

"My lord, Songjiangwei was broken through by the Tartars, and the uncle led people to the top."

Song Che was shocked, and after thinking about it, he shouted: "Transfer two more hundred households to the left side to support Dahewei, and the rest of the teams will immediately follow me to reinforce Uncle." ”

"Yes..."

When Chen Cao arrived with the Jiading team, the defeated troops of Songjiangwei had just rushed to the edge of the right side of the Nanjing right guard.

The Brocade Guards were in front of them.

"Get out of the way, the Tartars are coming."

"Get out of the way..."

"Lao Tzu hacked you to death with a knife..."

"If Song Jiangwei dares to run away again, he will be killed." A hundred household officials who supervised the war suddenly drew out the Yanling long knife and looked angrily at the Songjiang guards in front of him.

As soon as the words fell, the noisy voice behind him became louder and louder, Wu Bangwen rode over with his personal guards, and there was a large group of soldiers behind him, and Tian Xiaonian's whereabouts were unknown at the moment.

"Get out of the way, this official Songjiangwei commands Wu Bangwen, our guard forward team has been attacked by the Tartars, let us go quickly."

Wu Bangwen's words just let Chen Cao hear it, Chen Cao flashed through the crowd, and scolded sharply: "Come on, take down this fang, kill it on the spot, and use the heart of the French army to be the army." ”

Wu Bangwen trembled, as the so-called law does not blame the public, not to mention that there are so many soldiers behind him, but he suddenly became evil and shouted: "Brothers, Uncle Dingwu let us die, he can sit and reap the profits of the fisherman, rush over with me, and all the responsibility will be borne by this official." ”

Wu Bangwen was surrounded by his family guards and cronies, and he was bewitched by this, and the sound of horses' hooves behind him was getting closer and closer, so he raised his long knives and spears one after another, and slashed towards the Jinyi guards who were blocking in front.

"Good dog guts..."Chen Cao scolded angrily: "Zhang Fengnian, engaged in military law." ”

Song Jiangwei had never seen the firearms of the Nanjing Right Guard, how could he know the power of the flintlock pistol, after Jinyiwei got out of the way and retreated, Zhang Fengnian led a team of 300 Dingding to raise his gun and began to fire a volley of guns.

Bang bang bang ...

After the deafening gunshots rang out, the soldiers who were in front of them fell to the ground one after another, and Wu Bangwen was shot several times and fell off his horse and died.

Seeing this, Chen Cao raised his hand and signaled: "Listen, Ben Bo didn't kill all of you, as long as everyone doesn't attack my Nanjing right guard formation, this official will do whatever you want." Lao Tzu gave you three months' salary, and that's how you repay me? ”

After Chen Cao's words were finished, those soldiers fell silent, and when the group of dragons was leaderless, the herald sent a message: "Uncle, the forward team of Song Jiangwei commanding Tongzhi Wang Xiaojie is approaching this formation. ”

"Songjiangwei, listen well, and immediately go to meet your commander and fellow acquaintance Wang Xiaojie, and Ben Bo is not to blame for the past."

Chen Cao said that he was not to blame for the past, and those soldiers heard that Wang Xiaojie was still resisting, so they immediately rushed away.

"Uncle," Gao Chong ran quickly: "Let's go, the Tartars bypassed Wang Xiaojie's formation and drove the defeated soldiers directly to the beach." ”

Chen Cao was shocked, once this tactic of driving sheep into the sea was successful, his side would be in a desperate situation: "Go and tell Commander Song to bring troops to support." ”

"Uncle...", another herald arrived: "The Great River Guard was defeated, and the Tartar cavalry stormed our army's large array. ”

Chen Cao felt that the world was spinning, and the first battle in Liaodong that he swore to swear was actually like this at the beginning, and the most important thing was that he was a sneak attack.

Boom... Boom... Boom...

A sound like thunder sounded, and the Hongyi cannon on the warship of the Caojiang Naval Division on the sea level opened fire after receiving the order, and it was not a solid bullet that rushed forward, but a flower shell.

The cannonballs were thrown along the arc, and at this moment the hour was approaching, the sky was already a little bright, and Chen Cao could clearly see the cannonballs flying: "Be careful." ”

Rumble...

The explosion sounded, killing 1,000 enemies and losing 800 themselves, and the cavalry of the Tartars had already mixed with Songjiangwei, and after the shells exploded, the people killed were five or five fired.

"Uncle, be careful..."As soon as Zhao Xin knocked Chen Cao down, a cannonball exploded a few meters away from Chen Cao.

Chen Cao had the first close contact with the explosion, his ears were roaring, he stood up and felt dizzy and tinnitus, so he covered his forehead with his hand and staggered: "Zhao... Zhao Xin... Fast... Beat the flag and get them to stop firing. ”

Where did it come from, but the people who were far away on the warship also seemed to sense that something was wrong, and after firing ten shots, they stopped shelling.

"Yaozhong..."Song Che already had blood stains on his body, and he ran in a panic at the moment, obviously something was wrong: "Hurry up, the beach can't bear it, the left and right wings have been breached, retreat, retreat first..."

Chen Cao slapped himself twice, and then shook his head: "Organize the team and retreat first..."

The defeat was like a mountain, Chen Cao felt the taste of the defeat of the Ming army for the first time, he was taken away by Song Che in a trance, and waited until dawn to wake up, but there were Tartar cavalry in front of him.

"Uncle..."Zhao Xin led Chen Cao's horse: "Subordinates cover your retreat." ”

"Retreat?" Chen Cao said viciously, last night it was because he was a little helpless when he first came into contact with a large battle formation, and now that he has suffered a loss, how can he withdraw again: "What is this place?" ”

"It's less than ten miles away from the Gaizhou Acropolis."

The team behind him was a little lazy except for the right guard of Nanjing, Song Che reprimanded the defeated soldiers of the Dahe Guard in the rear and then rode his horse, and after seeing the cavalry in front, he sent scouts to investigate.

From time to time, there was a return, and Song Che rode his horse to Chen Cao's side: "Yaozhong, it seems that the Tartars thought that we were driven into the poor alley, and the cavalry in front of us only had more than a hundred horses. ”

"More than a hundred rides?" Chen Cao felt that he had been humiliated, and when he beheaded Murhaqi, the other party had thousands of cavalry: "Lao Tzu wants revenge..."

After Chen Cao finished speaking, he took out the Yanling knife, and then raised the knife and shouted: "Organize the cavalry team, follow me to the battle, Shi Xiu, bring the musket team to sweep the formation for me." ”

Song Che couldn't stop Chen Cao, so he saw Chen Cao rushing out with more than two hundred cavalry.

"My lord, the Tartar cavalry is driving the defeated soldiers on the beachhead, and the ships of the sailors have dragged those Tartars, and they have not yet pursued them." A scout arrives to report.

Song Che frowned and stared into the distance, then turned around and shouted, "Follow this official out of the battle." ”

Chen Cao rode his horse and hurried away, and rushed towards the Tartar's cavalry with a momentum that was all gone, and when the distance between the two sides was less than fifty meters, Chen Cao pulled out the handcuff on his waist and fired the first shot at a short Tartar in front.

Bang...

There is very little gunsmoke, which shows that the strength of the workshop to improve the gunpowder has been further improved, and the Tartar knows the handcuffs of the Ming army, but those old-fashioned handcuffs can only fight twenty or thirty paces away, and the lethality is limited, so they don't take it seriously at all, naturally, while despising the enemy, it is their own death.

Chen Cao didn't have time to reload after killing the first Tartar, so he inserted the handcuff back into the pouch at his waist, and then leaned over and rushed forward with a knife.

Zhao Xin was followed by several brocade guards to cover.

Syllable...

The blade exchange between the two sides erupted into a piercing sound, and the Yanling knife in Chen Cao's hand was a new mille-feuille steel knife created by the right guard, and after only one round of collision, the old-fashioned Yanling knife in the opponent's hand was broken into two sections.

Chen Cao then swung another knife diagonally, and the cloth armor on the tartar's body was cut through, and the opponent was slashed to the ground with the impact of the horse.

'Bang bang bang...'

Song Che, who was sweeping the formation, ordered muskets to be fired and repelled the Tartar cavalry who wanted to attack from the flank, and in a short time, all the Tartars who were blocking the frontal attack had retreated, leaving more than 70 corpses and fleeing.

Chen Cao then ordered to gather his troops and advance towards the Gaizhou Acropolis.

"The Acropolis is empty?" Chen Cao frowned: "Impossible..."

Song Che rode his horse over, and frowned when he heard the news: "Yaozhong, I think this is intentional by the Tartars. ”

Chen Cao's eyes rolled wildly, and then he smiled helplessly: "The Tartars attacked us at night, and then rushed to the Gaizhou Acropolis after we broke through, the Acropolis is empty, we who are familiar with the defense of the city must be going to enter the city, but there must be nothing inside, we were attacked when we went ashore, and we will not bring any food at all after retreating in a hurry." ”

Song Che suddenly realized: "Sure enough, the Tartars have sinister intentions. ”

Chen Cao turned his head and looked around: "After the strong wall is cleared, it will definitely launch an offensive at noon or in the afternoon, and then besiege the city and trap the beasts, we have no food, the death battle will be exposed to their cavalry, and the defenders will starve to death inside." ”

Song Che suddenly felt pressure: "Our reinforcements haven't landed yet. ”

"Ashore?" Chen Cao suddenly remembered: "Oh no, the Tartars like to encircle the point to send reinforcements, I just remembered that they will definitely let the reinforcements come to the rescue, and then gather the superior cavalry to break our reinforcements individually." ”

"Uncle, if you don't have subordinates to withdraw first, you can inform the various troops on the island." Zhao Xin looked up and asked.

"You want to die?" Chen Cao sneered: "The Tartars dare to let us come to the Acropolis, that is, we will defend the city after we are determined, and the surrounding plains don't know how many Tartar scouts have been ambushed, and you will give people heads with you." ”

When Chen Cao said this, Zhao Xin also learned from Chen Cao to look around, and Song Che frowned: "Yaozhong, we have suffered a big loss here, over there in Guangning..."

Chen Cao knew Song Che's worries, so he said: "You can figure it out by a calm analysis, first, our actions have been 100% leaked, otherwise they would not have gathered heavy troops to suddenly launch an attack on us at night; Second, as far as I know, Nurhachi has assembled a heavy army in Quang Ninh, with the participation of all the Eight Banner troops, and there are 80,000 Tatar cavalry alone, not counting those surrendered soldiers, the Tatar men and horses are limited, and there will be room for outing, so I dare to conclude that the Tatar cavalry that attacked us in Gaizhou this time must have been mobilized from Quang Ninh;

In addition, the intelligence said that Nurhachi was contacting Duoyan Sanwei, and I think they will definitely attack Quang Ninh after eating us. ”
