Chapter 164 says they were brave or stupid

Chapter 164

"Cheng Shuai, the last general will lead the headquarters to take the lead!"

Zu Dabi's mind is relatively simple, he came to Haizhou to support the Ning Navy on the order of Zu Dashou, the battle has not yet been fought, everyone first got a set of cotton clothes, and the food with sufficient oil and water every day can be eaten, and every day is like the New Year. In this case, if you don't make any efforts, I'm sorry for the meal that Cheng Shijie invited them to eat, and I'm sorry for the cotton clothes on my body.

When they came from Jinzhou, the weather had not become particularly cold, and now the weather has suddenly cooled down, if it were not for this set of cotton clothes, I don't know how many people would have frozen.

The last time the Dongjiang Army launched a mutiny in Haizhou, coerced Shang Keyi to defect to Cheng Shijie, Shang Keyi left Haizhou alone and continued to return to Huanglong, Huanglong promoted Shang Keyi from a guerrilla general to a cavalry general, which can be regarded as a recognition of Shang Keyi's loyalty.

Although Shang Keyi became a cavalry general, the cavalry he led the Dongjiang Army only had more than 1,200 men and horses, and they were all thin horses and their equipment was not very good. If it weren't for Cheng Shijie sending them some equipment, their Dongjiang Army wouldn't even have any equipment, and they would almost have come empty-handed with more than 18,000 people.

"Cheng Shuai, the last general is also willing to lead the people of the headquarters to take the lead!"

Cheng Shijie did not immediately agree, according to his plan, Cheng Shijie against the 100,000 horses of Huang Taiji, that is, the left capital division of the Ning Navy is the left wing army, the right capital division is the right wing army, and the guard capital division is the forward army, this battle is more than 30,000 men and horses of the Ning Navy to resist, and when Jiannu is defeated and retreats, the Guanning army and the Dongjiang army take advantage of the situation to cover up.

However, this decision was blocked by Sun Chengzong. Sun Chengzong said with a solemn face at the time: "Beiping, your pattern is small!" ”

"The pattern is smaller?"

Cheng Shijie was a little puzzled.

Sun Chengzong smiled faintly: "If the imperial court orders the Guanning army to go out to support the Ning Navy, then it is understandable for you to arrange it like this, most of the Guanning army has already ...... Not to be trusted! ”

can let Sun Chengzong, the founder of the Guanning Army, personally say that the Guanning Army is not trustworthy, which shows that the last battle of the Daling River was really a big blow to Sun Chengzong.

"However, this time is different, this is Zu Dashou who took the initiative to ask for battle, and it was the elite cavalry of the Guanning Army that was sent, then, he will not play false this time!"

Sun Chengzong actually still trusts Zu Dashou, his logic is very simple, the last battle of the Daling River, the pit was Zu Dashou and himself, which shows that Zu Dashou and that interest group have a rift, and now Zu Dashou has lost the backer of the court, he took the initiative to come to support Ning Haijun, just to warm up with Ning Haijun.

Under the persuasion of Sun Chengzong, Cheng Shijie changed the battle plan, and Shen Mingyu's Zuo Du Si continued to serve as the left wing corps, and Zhao Wencai's cavalry capital division was responsible for covering the left wing corps. Changyu's Right Capital Division was changed as the forward corps, the right wing corps was responsible for Huang Long, the general soldier of the Dongjiang Army, and the 6,000 Guanning troops under the command of the Guanning Army Zu Dabi were used as cavalry to cover the flank safety of the right wing corps. , and the Konoe Metropolitan Division served as a strategic reserve.

Cheng Shijie said: "Go ahead, be careful not to be greedy!" ”

"The last general commands!"

Starting from more than 500 steps of barbed wire outside Baliwan City, more than a dozen cavalry units of Jiannu appeared densely, and the number of scouts per share was not much, and it was roughly divided into more than 300 cavalry per Niu Lu as one share.

At this time, Zu Dabi was holding a Mo knife, and his original weapon was actually a simple knife, which was similar to Guan Yu's Qinglong Yanyue knife, but the blade was dark and not engraved. The generals of the Guanning Army and the Dongjiang Army in southern Liaoning were all given a set of blades and armor by Cheng Shijie.

Zu Dabi is not like Zu Dale, he asked for a horse lance, of course, this is the spear in Cheng Shijie's mouth, in Zu Dale's opinion, it is a horse lance, finger-thick rebar as the handle, and the outer layer is wrapped with dozens of circles of arrowroot cloth, which is both non-slip and resistant to cutting.

Zu Dabi chose a Mo knife, the Mo knife is purely Cheng Shijie's personal hobby, cold weapons are destined to be eliminated on the battlefield, it does not mean that Cheng Shijie can't get hundreds of Mo knives to play.

"Build slaves to burn my city, kill my people, adulterate my women, blood debts, hard to write, today Zu Dabi here swears to fight to the death with these beasts, kill each of them, and use their blood to repay their blood debts!!"

The enmity between the ancestral family and Jiannu is too deep, especially in Dalinghe City, a large part of these elite ancestral army have been prisoners of Jiannu, because they have tasted the taste of being prisoners, they would rather die than surrender to Jiannu.

As Zu Dabi roared, more than 6,000 Guan Ning soldiers shouted: "Kill them!" ”

The roar of anger from the throats of six thousand thunderbolts nearly shook the dark clouds into the sky.

When Mang Gurtai heard this, his eyelids jumped, revealing a cruel smile: "The momentum is quite scary, but I'm not scared!" Dahai! ”

Mang Gurtai beside Chaerjue, Dahai was given the title of Baksh by Huang Taiji, which means doctor, he is a rare genius in the Jurchen banner, he was proficient in Qingyi Jingyi at the age of twenty, responsible for creating Manchu script, as the leader of the museum, Fan Wencheng's direct boss.

However, the problem is that Jiannu is a system of eight banners, and no matter what position Dahai holds, he is first the bannerman of the Zhenglan Banner, and secondly, he is the Wenguan Bakshi of the Dajin Kingdom.

Of course, Dahai is also a civil and military all-rounder, and he doesn't feel that there is anything wrong with this order.

In fact, killing people with a knife is not only something that Huang Taiji is good at, but he will also be reckless.

Dahai, as the banner of the Zhenglan Banner, is a hereditary leader, that is, Jiala Zhangjing, and is one of the senior generals of the Zhenglan Banner. However, Dahai and Huang Taiji are extremely close.

Dahai walked to the headquarters and raised his palm, and slashed down: "Attack!" Let these dogs know how powerful our Dajin warriors are! ”

More than 1,500 horsemen from Dahai's headquarters rushed towards more than 6,000 horsemen from Zu Dabi.

According to the Jurchen's past record against the Ming Dynasty, this more than 1,500 cavalry against the Ming army of 6,000 cavalry is a routine operation, or obviously overlooks the Ming army, you must know that even if it is an ordinary Niu Lu Ezhen, he dares to lead 300 cavalry to rush to the Shang Wan Ming army.

It's just a pity that Dahai has been playing with the pen for too long, and he didn't realize that the enemy he faced was Zu Dabi, nicknamed Zu Er Madman, and had another nickname, called Baturukxing.

During the Huang Taiji period, a total of sixteen Baturu were given, but three of them died in the hands of Zu Dabi, and this proportion is not low.

Da Hai's legs clamped the horse's belly, the war horse neighed wildly, spread its four hooves and rushed straight towards the cavalry formation of the Guanning army. They obviously didn't take these nearly 6,000 Guanning soldiers and horses in their eyes, in the eyes of these proud soldiers and fierce generals with blue flags, these Guanning troops are just bunches of leeks, and they can cut them as much as they like!

Not to mention, they really have the capital to be proud, because they are cavalry, on this great plain, the cavalry is almost invincible, the warriors of Jianzhou have the courage to crush the enemy army ten times or twenty times their own, and what the Ming army lacks, it is courage, they are confident that they will crush this Ming army at one time!

The ground was frozen hard, which was quite a favorable condition for the cavalry, and the horses ran with little effort, and the impact was stronger.

The cavalry on both sides are speeding up, Cheng Shijie is a little bottomless, Ning Haijun is not afraid of Jiannu's charge, because they have already trained countless times, but the question is Guanning military line?

Guan Ningjun's charge speed was very fast, led by Zu Dabi, nicknamed Zu Er's madman, he raised the Pu knife in his hand, not to mention that there were more than thirty catties, one horse in the lead, the big knife was like a ball of light, regardless of the generals, one by one, the knife was slashed one by one, and where he rushed to where it was flesh and blood!

Several of the Red Baya soldiers with the blue flag greeted them, and they were all split by Zu Dabi with a knife, and the big knife first cut off the horse's neck, and then split the weapons and bodies of the Red Baya soldiers in half, and the flying blood rain soon dyed his white robe and war horse red, this bravery, terrifying.

The main general is so brave, of course, the soldiers can't lag behind, and the six thousand Guanning cavalry are all fighting bravely to be the first, slashing and killing.

The first wrong judgment Dahai made was to retreat, his consideration was that the two sides were too close, the enemy general was fierce, and he needed to open the distance and give full play to Jiannu's riding and archery advantage.

But the problem is that it is very stupid to retreat in the case of hand-to-hand combat, and the battlefield is all about courage, but the problem is that there are not many battles commanded by Dahai personally, as the chief staff of Huang Taiji, he usually follows Huang Taiji, but Fan Wencheng is slowly more favored than him, so he returns to his own banner.

Lack of command experience, wrong judgment is understandable, in the current situation, in a word, the Jiannu cavalry wants to open the distance to give full play to the advantage of cavalry and archery, that is a dream, the cavalry of the Guanning Army is like a piece of dog skin plaster, sticky and can't get rid of it.

People are unlucky, a fart will smash the heels, when retreating, Dahai's war horse in order to avoid a Jiannu cavalry, quickly strangled the war horse, this stop doesn't matter, Zu Dale chased up, this is also Dahai self-seeking, Zu Dabi is straight chasing, Zu Dale is changed to straight to oblique sweeping, the formation is dislocated.

With Zu Dale's opposite move, Dahai was almost knocked off the war horse, but as soon as he sat firmly, he was bumped into by Zu Dabi, a biao centaur!

Both sides raised the speed of the horse to the limit, rushed straight to each other, poked the saber out, aimed at the opponent's vital point, the high-speed galloping war horse gave the sharp saber terrible lethality, the sound of cracking and screaming was endless, the armor of the soldiers of Jiannu and the soldiers of the Guanning Army was cut by the saber, and then it was their bodies that were cut, and they were either killed or injured when they were hung!

The most unlucky is still Dahai, Zu Dabi's target was not actually him, but a red Baya soldier, Zu Dabi's Mo knife swing, the red Baya soldier in the hand of the riding knife knocked away, out of the hand, coincidentally cut the neck of the Dahai war horse, the war horse screamed and fell, threw him out, knocked down two Jiannu soldiers.

Dahai felt as if the bones in his whole body were scattered, and his eyes were blackened, and he couldn't distinguish between east and west, north and south. He tried his best to keep his eyes open, only to see a bunch of people dangling in front of him, you cut me and I cut and killed me happily, but he couldn't hear any sound, and his eyelids became heavier and heavier......

His brain finally cleared up, and a sharp Mo knife swept over, slashing Dahai from the waist......

Yes......

Jialazhangjing fell to the ground and died, the Jiannu cavalry was shocked, and the two Hongbaya soldiers rushed up on horseback, and reached out to grab Dahai's body, at this time Dahai was only half left, and it was easy to catch it......

Jiannu retreated, and the morale of the Guanning army was greatly boosted, and they chased after them with a roar, until Mang Gurtai led the elite cavalry to block it, and seeing that there was no cheap to see, Zu Dabi ordered a retreat.

The cavalry of both sides dispersed, counting each other's casualties.

After a round of charges, the Guanning army lost three or four hundred people, and the loss of Jiannu was also similar to that of the Guanning army.

But the problem is that Zu Dabi found that they only beheaded fifty-seven ranks, and most of the heads were snatched by the Jiannu cavalry, while the Guanning army captured more than two hundred war horses.

"General Zu Er fought well, this marshal asks His Majesty for credit for you!"

"Happy!"

Zu Dabi looked at the Mo knife in his hand with joy on his face, and cut more than 30 people in a row, but he didn't see the gap, only part of the blade was rolled.

"Good knife, thank you Cheng Shuai for the knife!"

"Second General Zu will rest first, and see how the cavalry of the Ning Navy kills the enemy!"

The cavalry of the Ning Navy is a shortcoming, and it is also their weakness.

However, seeing that the Guan Ning army was so brave and victorious, the morale of the Ning Navy was high, especially Hu Erqi of the chasers, the chasers under his command all hung sabers at their waists, held a recurve bow that could shoot more than 200 meters away, spread a wide fan, and spared no effort to drive away the scouts of Jiannu.

Of course, Cheng Shijie also understands that the current Jiannu did not use all their strength, and they were also afraid that they would use too much force to scare Ning Haijun back, and the Jiannu scouts would fight and retreat.

The chasers and scout cavalry under Hu Erqi's command began to fight sporadically, and from time to time the scouts could be seen chasing each other. During the Jiannu movement, he used a small group of rangers to follow and harass, and when he saw the opportunity, he pounced on it and bit it fiercely, and then quickly fled before the Jiannu cavalry reacted, and pounced on him when he caught the opportunity.

This has always been the nomad's specialty, the Central Plains Dynasty dominated by infantry is often helpless in the face of this kind of scoundrel tactics, throw and can't get rid of it, chase and can't catch up, even if they are lucky to destroy one or two of them, the results are very pitiful, and once they are attacked, the loss is quite large, this kind of can only be beaten and can not fight back, can really drive people crazy.

But now, the tactic of Jiannu has failed, and the Ning Navy has gone into battle, with 6,000 cavalry of the Guanning Army, plus the cavalry of the Ning Navy, the cavalry of the Dongjiang Army, and the scouts of the Hening Navy, a total of more than 16,000 cavalry, and has a strong armed guard and defense circle.

Especially the infantry of the Ning Navy, that is not easy to mess with, the carts that accompany the troops, there are fixed thunderbolts on the carts, which can be fired at any time, and the thunderbolts that can be fired continuously can shoot the cavalry who dare to approach Jiannu.

On the battlefield, the performance is extremely outstanding is the Red Lady, and it is also the luck of the Red Lady, she finally rose to the deputy general manager, it is said that she did not have the opportunity to lead more than 300 reconnaissance cavalry to fight. But her Bai Zong's name is Chen Bo, and during a mission, Chen Bo was hit by an arrow in the ass on the way to retreat.

This part is a little difficult to speak, Chen Bo didn't say anything, but Jiannu's arrows were soaked in feces, and it was very easy to get infected with wounds. At first, Chen Bo didn't care, but as the wound became infected, pus began to flow from his injured area, and even walking became a problem, and his entire waist and thighs were red and swollen.

In desperation, Chen Bo went to Ning Navy Hospital for treatment, and the Red Lady led more than 300 cavalry scouts under his command to tear apart and kill Jiannu from the deputy Bai Zong, acting Bai Zong.

For this kind of small cavalry battle, the red lady can be said to be handy, she played this set badly, this was how to deal with officers and soldiers before, playing this set in front of her, there is no difference from playing a big knife in front of Guan Gongmen.

"Drive these ass away from them, and don't let them get close to the main force of our army!" The chasers shouted their promises and charged harder.

The red lady watched a large group of Jiannu cavalry chasing after her, and hurriedly said, "Brothers, let's retreat!" ”

On the way to retreat, the red lady pulled the grenade open, put it in her hand and delayed it for three numbers, and threw it away, and the Jiannu cavalry did not find it, and when the Jiannu cavalry passed the position of the grenade, the grenade exploded.

- Boom......

An orange-red fireball rose into the air, and seven or eight Jiannu cavalrymen were blown up and screamed.

The red lady turned around and laughed happily.

However, joy begets sorrow.

At that moment, there was a rumbling of artillery ahead, and rows of shells streaked across the sky and smashed at them. Although the solid shot put did not cause many casualties to the scout cavalry who had evacuated in formation, they did cause a bit of confusion.

When the red lady hurriedly avoided the shells, the desolate horn sounded, the sand and dust flew, and the Jiannu light cavalry of the brigade roared over, the fast horses were like the wind, and the sharp arrows were like rain, and the reconnaissance cavalry of the Ning Navy suddenly suffered a lot of casualties.

"Yuan Shiliang!"

Cheng Shijie picked up the walkie-talkie and tuned directly to the artillery channel: "Can you judge the position of the enemy's artillery?" ”

"The weather is gloomy, the visibility is too low, and the distance is too far to judge!"

Cheng Shijie is now unable to give effective support to the reconnaissance cavalry, and the Red Lady found that the situation was not good, so she hurriedly ordered: "Retreat, retreat quickly!" ”

When she ran out of grenades, she picked up her bow and threw it at the back, and with each arrow fired, one of the Jiannu light cavalry was inevitably thrown from her horse with an arrow through her chest, screaming miserably.

The scouts of the Ning Navy, most of them are from the cavalry of the border army, some are from Datong, some are from Yulin, and some are Mongolian knights, they are skilled in bows and horses, and they are no strangers to the earth-shattering cavalry of Jiannu, and they are no strangers to the rear while running, and the Jiannu light cavalry that pursued them fell one after another with arrows.

But these Jiannu light cavalry were also quite fierce, biting tightly, and there was even a fast horse like flying, catching up from the side, grabbing the front of the Red Lady, and actually forming an encirclement of at least two hundred and sixty or seventy scout cavalry!

Sharp arrows were fired from all directions, the scout cavalry of the Ning Navy fell one after another, and the Jiannu light cavalry came like a tide, threatening to drown this chassar, and the situation suddenly became extremely grim.

At this time, Zu Dale, who did not move, rode his horse and charged.

More than 3,000 horsemen under his command have been adjusted to the horses, rested, has recovered the initial combat effectiveness, these cavalry rushed like thunder, before the Jiannu cavalry was encircled, intercepted the Jiannu cavalry, and the cavalry of the Red Lady broke through.

After some charge, this Ning Navy scout cavalry avoided the fate of being completely annihilated, however, Zu Dale hung up the lottery and was hit by seven or eight arrows in the chest.

Fortunately, the armor given to him by Cheng Shijie was not bad, but it barely ejaculated through a layer, less than two inches into the flesh, it looked very scary, and all he suffered was skin trauma.

"Tell the marshal, our striker is less than three miles away from Jiannu!"

"Chuan Ben Shuai ordered, let the cavalry troops be careful, don't press too forward, so as not to fall into the hands of the enemy!"

"Yes!"

Meng En hurriedly went to deliver Cheng Shijie's order, and at the same time, Sun Zhili looked up at the sky: "Dashuai, the sky is going to change!" ”

"What you are waiting for is to change the sky!"

Cheng Shijie took the pen and signed his name on the order recorded by Sun Zhixi: "Archive!" ”

"Yes!"

……

In the direction of the Jiannu camp, Huang Taiji has been listening to the information coming from the front.

Although this time it was said that in the skirmish between the scouts, he gave an order in advance, telling the departments not to use all their strength and not to scare Ning Haijun back, but the problem is that in the battle of these small groups of cavalry, Jiannu suffered a lot of losses, and the cumulative amount actually exceeded a thousand.

The losses of the Ming army were not less than those of Jiannu, but the question is, how many people were there in the Ming Dynasty? How many are they?

Population is the hard wound of Jiannu.

The battle has been fought so far, and Huang Taiji is inexplicably a little uneasy in his heart.

"King Qiyu Khan, the main force of the Ming army has arrived!"

Ten miles, it only took half an hour for the Ning Navy to arrive at the open space east of Bali Bay.

Huang Taiji waved his hand and said, "Go out and have a look!" ”

After Huang Taiji left the tent of the Khan King, he came to the high platform that had just been built, which was a high platform with a height of almost two zhang.

Dai Shan looked at it and smacked his lips: "There are only more than 50,000 horses, and Minggou's courage is not small!" ”

Yue Tuo said: "Judging by their numbers, it should be between 50,000 or 55,000 men and horses, they really ate the gall of the leopard, less than half of our army, so they dare to fight with our army in the wild!" ”

Hauge smiled faintly: "Should I say they are brave, or should I call them stupid?" ”

"How many cannons do they have?"

Huang Taiji was most worried about the artillery of the Ming army, and the artillery of the Ming army left an indelible impression on him.

"I can't see it, they have too many big cars!"

Yue Tuo smiled bitterly: "Four or five thousand big cars, it's really a luxury!" ”

"Then we'll get rich, and with these carts, how much grain can we transport?"

Cheng Shijie is much more trouble-free than Huang Taiji, ten four-wheeled horse-drawn carts are put together, the wheels are removed, and a fixed Chinese army tent is formed, which can save the link of building the Chinese army's big tent, and then Cheng Shijie's horse-drawn caravan is fought here, and the Chinese military headquarters of the Ning Navy is formed.

Standing on the roof of the carriage, Sun Chengzong looked at the direction of the Jiannu camp with a looking mirror, and after a long time, he smiled bitterly: "The elite of Jiannu is exhausted, this battle is not easy to fight!" ”
