Chapter 339: Reversal of the Situation II
To be able to stay overnight is naturally to have good eyesight, no night blindness, and the continuous torches as long as they are not blind, anyone can see clearly.
"What is this?"
The scout panicked, so he hurried towards Amin.
"What?"
Amin was shocked: "You say it again? ”
The scout said: "Back to Baylor, at least more than 5,000 people..."
There will not be more than 5,000 opponents on the battlefield, if it is a person from the Bald Mountain, it is impossible for Dudu and Zilharang, who stayed behind, not to send someone to inform him, and it is still at the most critical juncture of this battle.
"What are those people shouting again?"
Amin heard the shouts of his opponents on the frontal battlefield, and after a while, a charging cavalryman returned, with a frightened face on his face: "Baylor, in front of the Ming formation, it was said that they burned down the grain and grass of our army in Fenshui Courtyard and Fengri River Field. ”
"Nonsense, how do the Ming people know the location of our army's grain and grass?" Elley scolded: "It must be Minggou who deliberately disrupts the hearts of our army, go, kill the person who spreads." ”
Amin's heart moved, and then he thought of the thousands of enemy troops who suddenly rushed out from the west, and suddenly shook his head and frowned: "It's bad, it's impossible... No way..."
"Amma, Amma..."
Amin ignored Elli's shout, and then said to himself: "It is impossible for the Ming people to know the location of our army's grain and grass hoarding, absolutely impossible, even if they do, it is also said by Korean prisoners of war, this battle has just begun, they are not so fast, but this sudden enemy army..."
"Erli..."Amin's eyes were red: "You quickly take the cavalry of your headquarters north to Fenshui Courtyard to investigate the situation, if Shuo Zhi is unscathed, let him lead the troops south." ”
Where did Elli see his own Amma, he was stunned for a moment, then nodded blankly, and beckoned the cavalry of the headquarters to leave the battlefield on the right flank.
"Go, let the people of the Eight Banners of Han divide their troops and block the enemy from the west."
Sigh...
Mang Gurtai kicked a side kick, kicked away the bayonet that was about to be inserted into his horse, and then returned to his horse: "His Ming dog, you can't beat it head-on, use some tricks that are indiscriminate." ”
Here, Mang Gurtai was beckoning Geril's cavalry to turn around, preparing to accumulate horsepower to meet again, Chen Cao grabbed a scout who came to report the news: "Are you sure it's Mang Gurtai?" ”
"The small certainty is the confession of a previously captured Tartar."
"I'll meet him myself for a while."
"Lord Wang..."Feng Zhongping stood in front of Chen Cao: "It's just a matter of Gurtai, why do you need the prince to go, the last general will go and take his head." ”
Chen Cao felt that Feng Zhongping was fooling himself, among the generals of the new army, except for Li Xianyun, who had died in battle, the only ones left were Huang Degong and Lou Xingye, who really had kung fu, needless to say, the Feng Zhongping in front of him was only a hundred household officials of Nanjing's right guard, and he fought with real swords and guns, and he may not be the opponent of the ruthless man Mang Gurtai at all.
Chen Cao took the long knife from Zhao Xin's side, and then said, "Each of them went to prepare, besieged and killed Mang Gurtai, and everyone made a great achievement." ”
"Baylor, the Mongols have retreated again."
Mang Gurtai saw the Green cavalry in front of his left flank who was turning the horse's head and suddenly felt that his head was big, the two sides had already arrived, even if the opponent was a firearm, but under the absolute advantage of horse speed, no one could resist the behemoth that ran from the war horse, and they were all broken bones.
"After I go back, Lao Tzu will definitely behead Geril."
Mang Gurtai wanted to kill Geril naturally only the Jurchens heard, but his trouble was not small, after the speed of the forward's horse was blocked, he could only be strangled with the Dingwu army, the other party was holding a long bayonet and stabbed, and his side could only chop, plus after the speed of the war horse was reduced, what he was fighting for at the moment was armor and endurance.
Obviously, in the face of bayonets with absolute armor-piercing power, the cavalry in heavy cloth armor was no match for the nimble Dingwu army.
"Go, let Amin send reinforcements."
"Mang Gurtai, this king Chen Cao, come and die quickly."
Chen Cao's shouts were immediately drowned out in this chaotic battlefield like waves in the sea, but the group of firearms soldiers who were not afraid of death suddenly ran towards him in groups, obviously trying to surround him.
Mang Gurtai was furious at the moment, regardless of the dissuasion of his own soldiers, he took his own soldiers Niu Lu and rode his horse and galloped, in front of him this group of people with muskets and did not shoot are purely sheep cubs slaughtered for him, even if the location here is not good, but he is still confident in killing this wave of less than a thousand people.
More than 400 cavalry can't break through the foot soldiers of less than 1,000 people, if it spreads, wouldn't it make people laugh off their big teeth?
However...
The torches of the night shone on the shadows of both sides, and the battle was more protracted, Chen Cao rode a war horse like a night owl and galloped wildly to Manggultai, the Yanling steel knife in his hand flashed sharp knife marks in the faint firelight.
Mang Gurtai also saw the knights running towards him not far away, and sneered in his heart, since Hetuala's army, after the end of the most fierce battle between Shenyang and Sarhu, Mang Gurtai has no opponent among the Jurchens, and there is no one who dares to challenge him head-on.
Not to mention the powerless Ming Guowei army or the self-proclaimed elite border army.
Kill him... It's like chopping vegetables.
When the two horses intersected, the horse knight waved the steel knife in his hand at the same time, and the sparks were particularly eye-catching at the moment of collision.
Chen Caohu's mouth was numb, this feeling was still when he killed Murhaqi ten years ago.
However, Chen Cao didn't think that Mang Gurtai was as powerful as You Shiwei, so after breaking through Mang Gurtai, he cut five people in a row, jumped on the horse of a fallen Jiannu cavalry, and urged the war horse to kill Mang Gurtai who had not yet turned back.
"Good skills..."
Mang Gurtai found that he missed a blow, and his opponent actually killed five of his own people and could still turn his horse to kill back, and he was immediately furious, brandishing a long knife and running at the same time.
Clang...
After the sound of metal clashing, the long knife in Mang Gurtai's hand broke, and the Yanling steel knife in Chen Cao's hand was strong and free, although it jumped into the gap.
Seeing that the opponent attacked again, he naturally reacted to take off the bow and arrow hanging on the horse's back, and aimed the bow and arrow at Chen Cao who rushed over.
An elite Jurchen knight can shoot three arrows in one minute, while Mang Gurtai, a Jurchen warrior, can shoot three arrows in a row within ten breaths.
In this case, even Chen Cao couldn't dodge the second and third arrows.
Not to mention in the dark of night.
"Lord Wang, be careful..."
"Lord Wang..."
"Protect the prince..."
The moment Chen Cao fell off his horse with an arrow, Mang Gurtai also looked at Chen Cao on his war horse with wide eyes, his eyes were full of unwillingness.
"Lord Wang..."
Zhao Xin jumped off the war horse, and when he saw that Chen Cao was still shooting, but there were no arrows on his body, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
"I can't die yet..."
Chen Cao was also afraid, he dodged the first arrow, and then blocked the second shot with a knife, but he never imagined that he could be able to shoot the third shot in a row, and the distance between the two sides was too close, once the arrow was inevitably helpless, so he took the initiative to fall off the war horse, although he dodged the fatal attack of the arrow, but it really hurt to fall down.
But even so, Chen Cao still pulled out the loaded revolver pistol from his waist, and when he hit Mang Gurtai at this distance, he was certain to die.
"Kill..."
There was a shout, and the Dingwu troops who surrounded him all held up their empty rifles to surround the surroundings of Mang Gurtai, and at this moment, Mang Gurtai died on the war horse because a hole was torn in his back after being shot.
"Mang Gurtai is dead, all the soldiers, kill..."
"Kill..."
"What, didn't block it?"
Amin, who had already withdrawn to command in the center, was suddenly shocked: "What the hell is going on?" ”
"Baylor, that group of people is the same color as the night, like Kunlun Nu, the musket in their hands is extremely powerful, and the people of the Han Eight Banners went up to block it and were defeated in less than a cup of tea, Baylor, quickly withdraw..."
The snow must be made worse, otherwise people will not freeze to death.
"Baylor..."A fast horse came, and the knight fell off his horse: "A large number of Ming troops appeared behind the Biho Pavilion, and they raided the camp of the Biho Pavilion. ”
"Where is Dudu and Zilharang?"
Amin yelled.
"The Ming army in the bald valley launched a charge, the camp was broken, the two sides attacked, our army was defeated, and the Korean army was the first to break and flee, and it could not be contained."
I also panicked after Ning Wan, and immediately started to speak: "Baylor, return to help quickly, it is no longer advisable to go to the mountain city of Beihan." ”
Even Ning Wan said this, what reason does Amin have to comfort himself?
Originally, the battle situation was already unprecedentedly good, he really couldn't imagine that Chen Cao could fight so well, this was the first fierce opponent he had encountered in so many years.
"If the Fenshui Courtyard is really broken, the grain and grass of the hundreds of thousands of troops will be interrupted, our army will be defeated, in order to prevent the Ming army from interspersing in a roundabout way, the lower official proposes to withdraw the troops quickly, and the key is to occupy the defense camp behind the Fenshui Courtyard."
Amin looked back at the military formation that had begun to retreat non-stop, and shouted, before angrily ordering the whole army to retreat: "Mingjin, the people left behind tell Mang Gurtai to let him break off." ”
"Huh..."
Chen Cao saw that the person who came to meet him was actually Zheng Zhilong, and he was overjoyed, and pulled Zheng Zhilong to sigh from the bottom of his heart, and then took advantage of the various departments to clean up the battlefield and ask about the process.
It turned out that Zheng Zhilong's headquarters, which had cleared the southern provinces of Korea, had just arrived in Ganghwa when he encountered the defeated Korean army deserters, and thus learned about the battle situation in Hanyang, so he decided to reinforce in time.
The warships under his command could not enter the inland waterways of the Han River, so they met the fleeing fleet of Li Li at this time, so they conquered the fleet by force and galloped south from the Han River to Hanyang.
"Fortunately, I didn't disgrace my life..."
Zheng Zhilong also sighed, if Chen Cao died in North Korea, he might have to return to Fujian with the fleet to be a pirate.
Chen Cao patted him on the shoulder: "You have contributed a lot to this battle, and this king remembers it in his heart." ”
"Lord Wang, this is the head of Mang Gurtai."
Zhao Xin held the oily head with rat tail braid in his hand: "Please show the prince..."
