Chapter 12: Capturing Li Yongfang Alive (Asking for Daily Recommendation to Follow-up)
The narrow road made it impossible for both sides to avoid it, and soon the two cavalry were engaged in the most direct confrontation.
The cavalry of the two armies collided like two violent waves, and the shouts of the soldiers on both sides, the metal crash of their weapons, and the neighing of their horses instantly resounded through the mountains.
Li Xianzhong placed 100 ironclad heavy cavalry at the front of the team, so that he could directly use the heavy armor to crush the enemy.
I thought there would be a very fierce battle, but when the two sides collided together, I found that the Liaodong iron cavalry wearing iron armor and the Han cavalry wearing cotton jackets were not of the same magnitude at all, and even the war horses of the Ming army directly crushed each other.
The cavalry of the Han army under Li Yongfang was not the enemy of the Liaodong Iron Cavalry at all, and they were shot down by the Liaodong Iron Cavalry one after another.
The Ming army was like a sharp arrow off the string, running directly through Li Yongfang's men; Wherever the iron hoof passed, there was only a wail on the ground.
Due to the narrow road, the speed of the cavalry on both sides quickly slowed down, and the Liaodong Iron Cavalry relied on the advantage of both men and horses wearing armor to directly hit the opponent and continuously advance the battle line.
Li Xianzhong turned into a killing god, and a silver spear swam around the enemy's body, like a silver snake spitting a letter and constantly killing the opponent.
The equipment of these Han troops is really a bit shabby, not to mention the iron armor, not even the dark armor, and they were directly picked off the horse by him one by one.
At this time, the cavalry in the rear of both sides also took out their bows and arrows to attack each other.
Since the Ming army was fully armed, all of them were Ming armor and iron helmets, and they were even equipped with face armor, and the output of bows and arrows to them was basically negligible.
The probability of hitting a small piece of the face directly is comparable to a lottery ticket.
And the cavalry of the Han army was miserable, where could those cotton jackets block the sharp arrows shot by the Liaodong iron cavalry, and many people were hit by arrows and fell off their horses.
Almost the moment the two sides touched, they were already doomed to each other.
Li Yongfang quickly reacted, where is Liu Ling's family?
It is clearly the "Liaodong Iron Horse" of Megatron, and it seems that Li Rubai has taken out the old book at the bottom of the box.
But shouldn't such a sharp weapon be used against the Eight Banners?
Where can ordinary Eight Banners soldiers stop such an elite Liaodong Iron Cavalry?
It is estimated that only the most elite "white swing tooth horns" and they are of the same level.
Li Yongfang, who wanted to cry without tears, hurriedly stopped, and while urging these Han troops to constantly step forward to fight with the Ming army, he secretly turned the horse's head.
The road here is narrow and the Ming army will not be able to rush for a while and a half, so he has to hurry up and flee for his life.
Fortunately, it is still relatively dark now, and the people behind can't see the situation in front clearly, otherwise they will collapse directly if they retreat.
At this time, he can't take care of these soldiers under him, there is a way that "dead friends don't die poor", so let these people buy some time for themselves to escape.
Escorted by several of his own soldiers, he finally made his way to the other end of the line, and as the sound of the fight faded away, he felt that he should have left the battlefield.
Li Yongfang hurriedly beckoned the people around him to retreat with him!
And the leaderless Han army behind him was in a mess, and was constantly killed by the Liaodong iron cavalry of the Ming army.
At this time, Li Yongfang just wanted to escape from Ascension as soon as possible, who cared about the monstrous flood behind him?
When he was about to run to the fork in the road, he saw a familiar scene again, the road was blocked by large trees and rocks pushed down from the mountain.
Now he finally figured it out, it turned out that he had just fallen into the Ming army and chose a path of no return.
However, driven by the desire to survive, they still dismounted directly and prepared to overcome these obstacles in front of them.
A group of Han soldiers scrambled to cross these obstacles, fearing that they would lose hope of escape if they were one step too late.
At this time, the hundred people led by Li Sanshun had already been waiting for the battle.
With his command, sharp arrows were fired at the climbing soldiers.
Wang Xiaoniu, who climbed the fastest, was directly shot in the throat by the oncoming arrows, his eyes widened, his mouth opened, and he wanted to spit out his last breath, but there was only a silent roar, and finally he fell to the ground helplessly.
However, as more and more soldiers tried to climb over the obstacles, the Ming army's bows and arrows were too late to shoot, and one by one the Han soldiers rushed forward excitedly.
Soon Li Sanshun and the others urged the war horses to rush towards those Han soldiers, he kept waving his war knife, and every time he fell, a soldier was killed.
There was no suspense in the battle, in fact, when he saw that the retreat was blocked by the Ming army, Li Yongfang had already expected this result.
Soon, the Ming army on the other side had already arrived, and a large number of Han troops began to kneel on the ground and beg for mercy and give up resistance.
Li Yongfang knew very well what would happen to him after he was captured, and his traitorous behavior would definitely be delayed in public.
But when the steel knife was on his neck, he didn't have the courage to do it.
At this moment, his whole body was trembling, and he had raised his steel knife in this way when Fushun was besieged by Nurhachi last year, but in the end, the desire to survive prevailed over his faith.
The battle soon ended, and in the end, Nurhachi's Fuxi Forehead Li Yongfang became a prisoner of the Ming army.
Li Sanshun said: "Major General Qiyu, in this battle, our army killed more than 1,400 enemy troops, captured nearly 600 people, and the brothers also suffered 40 casualties. ”
This battle made Li Xianzhong quite depressed.
His careful planning did not annihilate the Eight Banners of Jianzhou, but he ran into this group of "two Tartars". How satisfied is that what was supposed to be a stunning debut ended so dismally?
In his previous life, he had never been able to understand. The Ming army of the two roads in the northwest fought fiercely with the Jianzhou Tartars for two days and nights, and the battle was quite tragic; Although the Eastern Route Army was ambushed, the battle was also quite fierce, and Liu Wei himself killed many Tartars. But in the entire "Battle of Sarhu", the Ming army lost forty or fifty thousand people, but the casualties of the Jianyu were very small?
According to the "Manchu Old Files", the entire "Battle of Sarhu" only lost 200 people, which is obviously nonsense; However, various analyses of later generations generally believed that the loss of Jianyu was not large, and it was estimated that there were only two or three thousand people.
After this battle, he can see it. How difficult it is for a soldier without armor to fight a well-armed iron horseman.
If it weren't for the fact that the rear cavalry of these two Tartars carried some firearms, which caused some Liaodong iron cavalry to be hit by them at close range, the casualties this time would have been in the single digits.
Most of the casualties in this encounter occurred in the early stage.
After the collapse of the enemy army, can his own cavalry still be injured after chasing and cutting people?
Li Xianzhong said to Li Sanshun: "All these captives are killed on the spot, and none of them will be left!" ”
Then he looked at Li Yongfang again, and said coldly: "My concubine, don't you have anything to say to Ben General, give me a reason to keep you, right?" ”
Li Yongfang's kind of goods are extremely harmful, and they must not be kept.
However, thinking that this guy should have a list of Jianyu's spies, and there are many high-ranking officials among them, he still has a little use value for the time being, so he can only leave him alive first.
Li Xianzhong's cold eyes made Li Yongfang shudder, so he told the truth of Hetuala, and even his old father-in-law Abatai ruthlessly betrayed him.
Now that the Liaodong Iron Cavalry is deep behind enemy lines, it naturally has no extra time to deal with the prisoners, so they can only slaughter them all, and they don't even have time to clean up the loot.
Subsequently, Li Xianzhong sent people to send Li Yongfang and some seriously injured brothers back to Qinghe Fort first.
By this time, it was already getting light, but the real battle had just begun!
It won't be long before the vanguard of Jianyu arrives here, and they must hurry up and eat the five Niu Lu of Abatai.
