Chapter 200: The First Confrontation of Anshan Station
When Zu Dale led more than 1,000 private soldiers to Anshan Station, the Tanma who was waiting here came out early to greet him.
"What about the Jurchens?"
Zu Da Lelema stopped, first looked up at the distant mountains, where in addition to the endless primeval forests, is undulating towards the distant mountains, quiet, desolate.
"Back to my lord's words, more than 300 Jurchen cavalry seem to have found something, and they have left a quarter of an hour ago, and the remaining 3,000 women, children, old and young, are heading towards Liaoyang City along the Qianshan Road, planning to pass through Liaoyang City, and then to the east, directly to Fushun."
The tanma obviously found a lot of gossip, bowed down to Zu Dale and said: "Now most of the Jurchens in Shenyang City are already in chaos, and many banner owners Beile have taken their families and gone east first, most of them think that trapping Shenyang City is an act of waiting for death, and they are unwilling to be surrounded in Shenyang City, so they go directly to Fushun, and then wait for the opportunity to return to Hetuala, and then make a long-term plan, which is the right reason!" ”
"Ben doesn't care so much, let's eat these enemies in front of me first!" Zu Dale waved his horsewhip, pointed at the probe horse and said: "Tian Qianhu, you lead the way in front, and you can catch up with that group of Jurchens in the shortest possible time, maybe they have more important information in their mouths!" ”
"Order!" The Qianhu official surnamed Tian bowed, then quickly turned over and got on his horse, took a step forward with his scouts, and galloped towards the Qianshan Road in the distance.
"Everybody, keep up!!" Zu Dale ordered at the same time: "The first merit of Liaodong is already close at hand!" ”
The Thousand Mountains Road is an extremely hidden trail, located between the plains and hills, the junction of the primeval forest and the open plain, and it is also the closest mountain road to Liaoyang City, which is a trail opened up by the hunters and the bandits of the Wuthering Mountains for decades.
If it weren't for this thousand-mountain path, this group of Jurchens, a team of more than 3,000 people, were all old and weak, women and children, wouldn't they be used as targets?
Zu Dale led the ancestors this time, full armor and Liaodong war horses, and their combat effectiveness was not comparable to that of the ordinary Ming army, and more than 1,000 people quickly caught up with the Jurchens who were on the way to migration
"There are more than 500 soldiers in total, more than 200 guards in the front and rear, in the middle of the team, it should be the official eunuch of the Eight Banners of Jianzhou, and he didn't have time to keep up with the large army, and he was two days late" Tian Qianhu accompanied Zu Dale to ride his horse in a hilly and mountainous area, looking at the Jianzhou team that was moving slowly not far away: "You may also feel that our army has just crossed the Liao River, and it will not easily send troops to occupy Liaoyang City." ”
After all, this place is only more than thirty miles away from Liaoyang City, and the cavalry is there in an instant.
"Hey, fat sheep," Zu Dale looked at the team in the distance, and the corners of his mouth showed a touch of disdain: "The war over the past few years has made too many people in the Jurchen tribe suddenly rich, and they have a lot of wealth, this retreat has made them bleed hemorrhage, if it is a general, I am not willing to give up the wealth that I have already received and return to Hetuala."
After that, Zu Dale looked up at the sky, I don't know when it started, the sky has been quietly covered with a layer of dusk, it is estimated that after about a quarter of an hour, the sun will set, when the time comes, the five fingers will not be seen, and the cavalry battle is very disadvantageous: "Order, everyone get on the horse, hide the flag, the archers go first, and then the flanks sweep the formation, the knife hand is behind, cut into the battlefield head-on, within a quarter of an hour, solve the battle, we have to rush before the sun sets, go back to drink and celebrate!" ”
"Yes!"
As Zu Dale's order was issued, the sound of the sharp blade coming out of its sheath came, like a life-urging knife, black and white iron cables, and boundless killing intent, spreading towards the Jurchen team moving in the distance.
"Everyone, kill!"
In the distance, Zheng Hongqi Niu Lu Zhen Erden was leading the team towards Liaoyang City with fear.
He was originally the nephew of the deputy capital of Zhenghongqi and Heli, and was sent to garrison the Anshan Post in Liaoyang City, and the retreat should have been completed three days ago, but Erden's family had too much wealth, and he filled thirty boxes just to pack up these jewels and silver, not counting those silk and satin, and more than 100 women in the back house, all of which had to be brought with them as private property.
After all, who knows what it will be like to go back to Shenyang City, or finally Hetuala?
Let's hold these treasures and people in our hands first!
"My lord, it's getting dark, we need to arrive at Liaoyang City before the sun sets, so that the team can move faster!" His cronies rode their horses to Erden, with a worried face.
"I have already sent out the cavalry and gone to Liaoyang City to find someone to pick it up, don't worry," Erden waved his hand, indicating that it didn't matter: "It is impossible for the Ming army to enter Liaoyang City so quickly, besides, the soldiers and horses of my Liaoyang City are still there, only thirty miles, and they will arrive in an instant, it doesn't matter." ”
"But." He wanted to say something, but in the next second, his face changed.
Because not far away, the sound of a booming war horse galloping has been faintly heard.
"It's the Ming Army!"
In the team, many people have already heard the voice, more than 500 soldiers, as well as women and children who count money, in the final analysis, there is no combat effectiveness at all, and in the face of an unknown number of enemy troops, their hearts are already in turmoil.
"Don't panic!" Erden still looked quite calm: "There will definitely not be too many enemies, immediately stop the guards, hold on for a quarter of an hour, and reinforcements will arrive!" ”
The cavalry team sent out by Erden had already arrived in Liaoyang City according to the time.
"Kill!"
Without giving Erden much time to stop the defense, the cavalry team led by Zu Dale was soon killed.
Before the cavalry battle arrived, the arrows in the sky had already arrived.
The entire Jurchen army suffered heavy casualties in an instant.
"Turn the car sideways and place it on the perimeter! Stop the onslaught of their horses, all take up arms and hold out for a quarter of an hour! "Erden is tall and strong, although he is used to enjoying wealth and nobility, but he has not yet degenerated into the children of the Eight Banners who can't even climb a war horse like in later generations.
On the battlefield, the two opposing sides fought together in an instant.
The Ming army's offensive was like a tide, but after a moment of panic, the Jurchens immediately stopped the counterattack, and more than 500 soldiers with carriages and bows and arrows were able to block the enemy for a while, so that they could not immediately come forward to attack the camp.
"! A stick of old and weak women and children is so hard to gnaw! ”
Zu Dale tore off his collar, spat on the ground, and held the steel knife in his hand: "The frontal archers continue to attack, and the rest of the brothers, follow me to kill from the flank!" ”
"Kill!"
The soldiers clashed, the horses neighed, and the sound of the sharp blade sneering into the fat intestines came.
As Zu Dale led his men to fight from the flanks, the situation on the battlefield changed instantly.
"Treacherous Ming Army!" Erden had been wounded, and he was bandaging his wounds indiscriminately, and this Niu Lu Ezhen turned his head to look north, where reinforcements were coming.
Will reinforcements from Liaoyang City come?
After all, there were too many women, children, old and young, and more than 500 soldiers could not support too many people.
"My lord, let's withdraw first! The soldiers and horses of Liaoyang City will not come, we will protect you first," personally protecting Erden and breaking through into the distance.
