Chapter 065: The Battle of Gaizhou

"What are we going to do?" Song Che asked.

"How's our firearms?" Chen Cao asked first.

"I didn't bring any cannons, and the sergeant only had muskets in his hands," Song Che sighed: "If there are cannons in hand, these people are dust." ”

"Shi Xiu, you have been in Liaodong for a long time, do you know what the cavalry is most afraid of?"

Song Che was asked by Chen Cao and thought for a while: "Stop the impact and engage the foot soldiers." ”

"Ah..."Chen Cao patted Song Che on the shoulder and said with a smile: "The news brought by Wan Qing is like Manna after the rain," in Song Che's confused eyes, Chen Cao smiled and said: "Eyidu's original intention was to let Ha Sihu and Da Qi, who were stationed in Gaizhou, take the initiative to attack and launch a night attack after we landed, wanting to defeat us in one fell swoop, but..."

Chen Cao slanted the corners of his mouth: "The old thief really looks down on us, and thinks that we are as destroyed as ordinary guards, so let the two of them bring 4,500 cavalry to attack first, but they don't know that we not only resisted the night attack, but also killed a lot of them, let's be conservative, they suffered at least 500 casualties last night, and it is not impossible for 4,000 cavalry to eat 10,000 foot soldiers, but it is a ragtag army, we are not." ”

Song Che was so little by Chen Cao, and immediately reacted: "In this way, as long as we raid out, they can't stop us?" ”

"That's right," Chen Cao calmed down after a while: "Although they can't stop it, they can also severely damage our troops, so I asked you, where is the weakness of the cavalry," Chen Cao pointed to the lane under the city gate: "Let's leave Songjiangwei and Dahewei to garrison in the city, break out with the strength of the right guard, and use the chariot as a cover, once the cavalry approaches, ten thousand guns will be fired at once, and Hasihu and Daqi will both shed their skin if they don't die;

If they thought that our muskets would take ten breaths to reload with one shot, hehe, they would definitely not evacuate, but would think that we were all firearms troops and could not resist, so they turned over and dismounted and fought on foot. ”

Song Che's eyes lit up: "Yes, the Tatars have always looked down on our Han people, and think that their strength is stronger than ours, Yaozhong, you are really a god." ”

Chen Cao said with a smile: "In this way, we only need to pretend to be like enough, and deceive Ha Sihu and Da Qi to lead the army to fight with us on foot, and then open the defense of the car, suddenly rush out, and shoot indiscriminately, I want to see if they are all born and raised by their parents, and their bodies can achieve the miracle that lead bullets can't get in." ”

"Besides, we are surrounded, it is impossible for the Sanwei people on the island to be indifferent, and the sailor also has a lot of firearms troops, which should assist them to go ashore, and when the time comes, they will be attacked back and forth, and they will all annihilate Hasihu and Daqi, and give the old thief a dismount."

Song Che arched his hand: "Yaozhong is really the current Sun Wu." ”

"Don't pat me on the back," Chen Cao waved his hand: "Go down and gather the officials of each team and tell me the plan, and let's leave in an hour." ”

...

After Ha Sihu and Da Qi joined forces, they originally acted according to Yi Yidu's plan, but they didn't expect the artillery on the naval division troops to be so sharp, and under the command of Chen Maoxiu and Zhao Tianlin, they used Hongyi artillery *** to cover the landing of the landing force, so that they did not dare to approach the beachhead at all.

When they sent people to send people after the intermittent artillery fire stopped, Deng Guang, who had been prepared, personally led the musket team of the sailors to stop in front of them, and suffered the loss of muskets during the night attack, and the Ming army had already landed on the shore, so the two gave up their plans to attack.

"Hasihu, what now?" Da Qi stared at the Ming army fleet in the distance and frowned: "We haven't completed Amma's task, how can we explain it?" ”

Although Daqi is the son of Eyidu, and his official position is higher than that of Hasihu, he was told to obey Hasihu's arrangement before leaving.

Ha Sihu also frowned: "Although I have suffered a loss, I can understand that the Ming army has a lot of firearms troops this time, which means that their combat effectiveness is average, and when they run out of ammunition, they are just fat sheep to be slaughtered." ”

"We lost 700 men last night." Da Qi said and looked back at the Jurchen warriors behind him: "Three thousand eight hundred, can you break through their formation?" ”

"Yes," Ha Sihu was extremely firm: "The southerners have always been weak, it is reported that they have been training for a long time, and they are also strong here, and I don't know how bold Chen Cao is, he actually dares to land in Gaizhou, if we don't have news earlier, I'm afraid Gaizhou will be lost." ”

"Liu Aita's soldiers have been delayed, what does Dai Shan want?" Da Qi doesn't care about the elders and young, after all, people are outside, and besides, he and Hasihu are still cousins: "Don't you want us to help them take advantage?" ”

At this moment, a Tartar cavalry arrived: "Lord Ezhen, the Ming army in the Acropolis has been dispatched, and they are coming to the beach under the cover of the chariot. ”

Da Qi raised his eyebrows: "How many people?" ”

"About 5,000 men, no cavalry, all foot soldiers."

Ha Sihu sneered: "In broad daylight, even the cavalry dared to go out of the city like this, I really thought that my Jurchen warriors were vegetarians, Da Qi, you take 1,500 people to stay here, beware of the Ming army that landed, and ordered all the cattle to go with me to kill the enemy." ”

When Ha Sihu led 2,300 cavalry to gallop towards Chen Cao's chariot formation, the right guard, who had already heard the sound of horses' hooves, stopped under the plan, and more than 5,000 people gathered together, with the chariot as a cover on the periphery.

Chen Cao is a rare person with a horse, and sitting on a war horse, he can clearly see that the cavalry of the Tartars is approaching.

"Jiannu is here..."

There was a shout, followed by the sound of a gun.

Hass raised his whip to signal a stop, and the chariot array in front of him was like a turtle shell, and the war horse could not get close, but it could also attack from afar.

"Uhara, take your team to test first..."

A Tartar beside him nodded, and then rode forward, and from time to time, more than three hundred cavalry came out of the formation, galloping towards Chen Cao's car formation.

'Whoosh...'

The old tactic, throwing types such as meteor hammers, axes, and javelins attack first.

At night, because he was unfamiliar, Tang Kainian, who had suffered a loss, saw this, and immediately drew his knife and shouted: "Shield cover..."

Because it was all firearms troops, the right guard was not equipped with a shield, but it was placed on the cart, and suddenly the battle at night was suddenly in place, Tang Kainian, who was the commander of the front line, did not think of this, and no one would be stunned in this daylight battle.

'Bell, bell, bell...'

The clash of weapons and shields sounded, and some of the hapless soldiers were wounded, but most of them were unharmed.

After the throw, Uhara turned his horse's head, distanced himself, and once again commanded a charge, followed by several rounds of archery and arrows.

These men had been fighting with the Ming army for a long time, and when they saw that they had arrived with their shields and could not fight back, they rode their horses close to the chariot formation, and let their bows shoot towards the gaps in the shields.

Nurhachi was proud of the Jurchens' archery skills and riding and archery skills, and at such an instant, dozens of people fell to the ground with arrows, wailing.

"Shoot..."

Tang Kainian shouted loudly when he saw this, after the frontal musket fired, according to Chen Cao's instructions, the whole guard started the first round of musket salvo, and suddenly the gunfire was loud and deafening, although the smoke was less after the gun/powder improvement, but it couldn't withstand thousands of people shooting, and the gunpowder smoke immediately filled the air.

Seeing this, Hasihu's face was overjoyed, and he was about to jump up from his horse, even though Uhara's Niu Lu was hit by a musket and only a few dozen people ran back, but he still shouted with a smile: "Warriors, Minggou's musket is useless, rush with me, kill the enemy..."

The remaining more than 2,000 people galloped towards the chariot formation under the leadership of Ha Sihu, although they knew that when they rushed to the chariot array, the Ming army's muskets were just loaded, but it was impossible to reload them all at once, and there would definitely be losses, but if they could completely annihilate the Ming army that went out of the city, it would be a great achievement.

In the Jurchens, the heads and ears of the Ming army were military exploits.

Looking at the Tartars shouting unintelligible Jurchen words galloping over, Chen Cao also showed joy on his face, and then glanced at Song Che and said, "Pass the order, once the Tartars get close, the whole army will shoot freely." ”

"Good..."

Another round of throwing and mounted shooting, after the usual tactical use, the right guard men fired their muskets and fell silent.

Hasihu was even more excited, and before leading people to approach the car formation, he shouted: "Warriors, my Jurchens are not only good at kung fu immediately, even if they fight with Ming Gou, they are not our opponents, dismount, kill them all, capture them, they are all your slaves." ”

"Oh haha..."

Stimulated by Hasihu, the yellow-flaged tartars on their horses drew their swords and dismounted, turning over.

One of the Tartars jumped into the cart first, and to his horror, the muzzles of a dozen black holes were already pointed at him, and it was not until he was knocked into the air by the inertia of lead bullets that he understood that war was not so simple...

'Bang bang bang... Bang bang bang ... Bang bang bang...'

"The whole army shoots freely..."Chen Cao shouted.

Gaps were opened in various positions of the car formation, and the right guards rushed out, raising their guns and shooting, and the Tartars who cried and shouted for their mothers.

"What kind of musket is that?" Hasi was stunned, he had seen that the most advanced musket of the Ming army was the Qi family's five thunder god machine, but he knew that even if the arquebus was loaded the fastest after one shot, it would be at least ten breaths, and sixty breaths could only shoot two shots, however, the Ming army in his eyes did not load the gun/powder after one shot, nor did he need to clean the remaining fire/medicine dregs in the barrel, but took out a thumb-sized small paper bag and bit it with his mouth and put it directly through the muzzle of the gun, and shot again.

The whole process is only five breaths of time...

What he didn't know was that two brothers like Tang Kainian and Tang Yannian could shoot a second shot within two breaths, which was so fast.

His Jurchen warriors fell more than 300 people in one minute.

If it weren't for his cronies and minions shouting loudly, he would still be stunned in the distance.

"Master, retreat..."

Hasihu, who reacted, shouted 'retreat' at the moment, and was about to leave, when a rider rushed out of the panicked crowd in the distance and came straight towards him.

The person who came was none other than Chen Cao, the uncle of Dingwu.

Chen Cao is dressed in armor, this time it is not the last time he killed Murhaqi, he doesn't even have armor, this time he came prepared, he is not afraid of Ha Si Hu at all, plus the current situation is one-sided, Ha Si Hu only has a share to be slaughtered.

"Ming dog, take your life..."

Chen Cao's outfit looks like a senior general, and Ha Sihu is unwilling to suffer a loss, and is ready to kill this Ming army general with his bravery, so as not to suffer a loss and have nothing to report.

The cronies and minions couldn't stop him at all, and Chen Cao held the newly replaced Yanling steel knife and went towards Hasi to protect him.

As soon as the two weapons collided, Chen Cao felt the trembling numbness of the tiger's mouth: "Good courage, Tartar, look at the knife..."

Hasihu couldn't understand Chen Cao's words, and Chen Cao couldn't understand Hasihu's shouting, so the two sides turned their horses' heads again and galloped towards each other.

The two sides fought again, and the moment the steel knives collided, Chen Cao used the old tactic of killing Murhaqi back then, pedaled the stirrups, and the whole person flew towards Hasihu.

Unless the opponent is also fighting for their lives, anyone's first instinct is to block or back down with their hands.

The result was that he was knocked off the horse by the other party.

The two rolled to the ground, Chen Cao was prepared, Ha Si Hu was an immediate reaction, after landing on the ground, he was pressed by Chen Cao, he felt dizzy, and when he was about to swing the knife to resist, Chen Cao had already pulled out the *** knife made by the workshop from his waist, and the long blade with three blood grooves pierced Ha Si Hu's armor and inserted it into his chest.

Ha Si Hu's age and forehead are also similar, about fifty years old, and Murhaqi was older than Ha Si Hu when he died, and he is already a middle-aged and elderly person in contemporary times, how can he be the opponent of Chen Cao, a twenty-year-old young man.

In addition, Chen Cao's move was too deadly, Ha Sihu didn't expect that after the knife was inserted into his chest, Ha Sihu only felt a burst of coldness and slight pain, but when Chen Cao pulled out the bayonet and turned over, Ha Sihu suddenly felt that his chest was as if he had been hammered with a hammer, and he was stinging, and when he lowered his head again, he found that his chest was already bleeding...

"Master, master..."The cronies and servants were shocked when they saw this.

Chen Cao did not delay, he turned over and got up directly on the horse, in short, he knew that Ha Sihu would definitely die, and now the two armies were fighting, and he couldn't stay for a long time, so he rode his horse back.

"YCIS, Tartar is going to run." Song Che rode his horse and came: "Let's chase after it." ”

Chen Cao nodded: "It is extremely dangerous to fight the snake and not die, so the order, the whole guard retracted, and quickly ran towards the beachhead." ”

Hashu's minions carried his corpse and rode towards Daqi, followed by the remaining more than a thousand defeated soldiers, the first time that the Yellow Banner warriors were beaten like this.

Before he arrived, he saw Da Qi not far away fighting with the Ming army: "Master, Lord Ezhen is fighting with Ming Dog." ”

Blood spurted from his mouth, blood flowed out of his nose, and he couldn't stop it: "Withdraw... Withdraw..."

After saying that, he lost his breath.

The servant was horrified when he saw this, so he beckoned the people to join him and ran in the other direction with the body of Hashu himself.

"Lord Ezhen...", the defeated cavalry shouted as they approached, "Quickly retreat, Minggou's firearms are coming, and they are very fierce." ”

Ha Si Hu took away the main force, Da Qi only had 1,500 people, and now he was fighting with Guanhaiwei, who landed on the shore as a bait, and when he saw more than 1,000 people running in defeat, he knew that Ha Si Hu must have suffered a big loss: "What about you Lord Zhang Jing? ”

"I don't know..."

Da Qi rolled his eyes and shouted, "Withdraw the troops... Evacuate..."
