Chapter 169: Kill Gurtai with one shot
Chapter 169: Kill Gurtai with one shot
The sky grew darker, but the earth grew whiter.
Jiannu retreated, but the soldiers of the Ning Navy and the Guan Ning Army, the Dongjiang Army and the Ning Navy were not idle, they helped to harvest the heads, and the battle became a chaotic battle, and it was difficult to be fair if you wanted to count who beheaded how many.
But the problem is that the first rank means military merit and bounty, who doesn't know this? The fight just now was too miserable, everyone was red-eyed, and they couldn't take care of anything else, but now that they look at it, who cares about whom?
You fight for me, and you make a mess.
"This is our feat!"
"You mean you, I say it's ours!"
"Don't rob it!"
In the chaos ahead, Cheng Shijie had to shout: "Stop it all!" ”
Shen Mingyu looked at Cheng Shijie's face was not good, and he hurriedly explained: "Handsome, brothers...... This is...... There is no way! ”
"Your defense zone is fixed!"
Cheng Shijie pointed to the corpse in front of the Zuo Du Division: "This piece is all from your Zuo Capital Division, and this side is from the Right Capital Division, which is clearly distinguished, and you still grab a fart!" ”
"It's just that the battle is too fierce, and I can't tell who's who!"
Cheng Shijie said: "How many times have I told you, I can't distinguish the individual, then according to the collective, there are still many Jiannu, are you afraid that there is no head to cut?" ”
"Yes!"
Hearing that Cheng Shijie was the unit of credit according to the collective, the soldiers did not rob it. began to hold sacks, as if they were farmers harvesting crops, in the eyes of these soldiers, the corpses of these Jiannu soldiers were all ripe crops, and it would be unreasonable if they were not cut!
They raced against time, divided into pieces, and many wounded soldiers were still crying and begging, and they cut off their heads with a knife.
They even quarreled over the head: "Brother, you have crossed the line, this battlefield is ours, of course the head belongs to us, you are not allowed to rob it!" ”
"It's the same as who is rare!"
The atmosphere of the whole battlefield was very relaxed and pleasant.
Of course, the discipline of the Ning Navy is good, and the atmosphere of the Guanning Army and the Dongjiang Army is not so harmonious, although with Cheng Shijie's order, they did not fight because of grabbing the head, but they also greeted each other's relatives and scolded each other.
"Thief Niang, this is Lao Tzu's military exploits!"
"Who is Sun Tzu scolding!"
"Grandson scolds you ......"
The Guan Ning Army and the Dongjiang Army not only cut off their heads, but also stripped off the armor of the Jiannu soldiers, completely ignoring the terrifying pieces of blood on them, and happily put them on their bodies.
Although many of these armors are damaged, they can still be used for repairs and cannot be wasted.
However, compared to cleaning the battlefield, Ning Haijun showed superb skills in collecting trophies, not only weapons, armor, heads, flags and other good things, but even the clothes on the Jiannu soldiers were stripped naked, these guys were like hungry green-eyed locusts, and there was no grass everywhere they went, leaving only a large area of headless corpses with bare buttocks.
The Dongjiang Army thought that they had been ruthless enough to collect the spoils of war, who knew that after they finished tossing, the Ning Navy ran over again and then entered the Xian for deep processing, and then the officers and men of the Guan Ning Army and the Dongjiang Army were stunned to see that it didn't take long for the loot collected by the soldiers of the Ning Navy who were originally empty-handed to be packed into large bags and small bags......
How ruthless are these guys collecting loot? Even the iron armor leaves scattered on the ground were not spared...... Cheng Shijie has experienced this scene too many times.
To put it mildly, the Ning Navy is a rich army, but the problem is that no one dislikes their own money, any loot will be handed over, and then distributed uniformly, even the most worthless iron armor pieces may be turned into soap or towels and distributed to their own hands.
Zu Dabi watched Admiral Ning clean up the battlefield from behind them, and stared at the battlefield cleaned by his subordinates: "Look...... Look, you deserve to be rich in the Navy, you ...... You can't catch up with the hot breath when you eat! ”
The officers and men of the Guanning Army decided to change their past mistakes and clean up the battlefield more seriously.
Song Xiance was very depressed at this time, he has always regarded himself as Cheng Shijie's adviser, even if he became the director of the Liaodong Management Committee, he has never changed this idea and concept.
In fact, he played no role as a strategist in this battle.
Not to mention that Song Xiance has no effect, even Cheng Shijie's role is not great, he has hardly given any decent orders, in the face of the enemy's attack, if everything needs to be asked, how can this battle be fought?
Cheng Shijie, the commander of the whole army, only needs to make a decision whether to fight or not.
How to fight, how to fight, this is something that generals with troops need to consider.
However, the Ning Navy also won.
In Ning Haijun's temporary tent, that is, in Cheng Shijie's assembled carriage RV, a stove has been lit, even if the cold wind is howling outside, it is still warm as spring in the RV.
Cheng Shijie was snowing, there was no shortage of water here, he came back from the outside inspection, took a bath, changed into a new clothes, and then asked puzzledly: "What about the teacher?" ”
Luo hurriedly replied: "Yongyan has accompanied Sun Ge to patrol the camp!" ”
Song Xiance's mood was a little depressed: "This battle was fought too badly, I'm afraid there are more than 10,000 casualties on both sides, right?" ”
Cheng Shijie shook his head: "We don't have the Ning Navy, but, plus the Guanning Army and the Dongjiang Army, there are more than 15,000 casualties!" ”
The casualties of the Ning Navy were mainly concentrated in the cavalry division, with a total of 1,052 people killed and more than 1,350 wounded, of which more than 90 percent were minor wounds, and only two soldiers of the artillery division were burned, 73 people were killed in the left division, 29 people were killed in the right division, 55 people were killed in the guards division, 1,209 people were killed in the whole army, and about 1,900 people were wounded in the whole army.
However, more than 100 people were disabled.
The casualties of the Guanning army are similar to those of the Ning Navy, but there are only more than 3,700 cavalry left, and the casualty ratio is as high as nearly half.
The Dongjiang Army suffered the heaviest casualties, of which more than 6,740 were killed and more than 5,000 were wounded, and less than 8,000 were killed and wounded, and more than 10,000 were killed or wounded.
"It's just a pity that there are too few decapitations!"
Song Xiance participated in the statistics of military exploits, so far, the Ning Navy, the Guanning Army and the Dongjiang Army have only decapitated more than 3,300 in total, of course, this does not mean that Jiannu only died more than 3,300 people, but the artillery of the Ning Navy is too sharp, and the flowering shells, flying thunder shells, including grenades, can destroy the head, and the military merits cannot be counted.
If in the past, Cheng Shijie would have gone bankrupt in this battle, you must know that there were more than 10,000 dead and injured people, and the pension alone gave Cheng Shijie a headache.
Now Cheng Shijie is also rich and does not worry about the money.
As the battlefield was cleaned up, the officers and men of the Ning Navy began to camp, the cooks began to cook, and the whole camp was noisy and brightly lit.
There were six or seven thousand four-wheeled carriages in the whole army, as well as more than a thousand two-wheeled carriages, which could be used as a car city to defend against enemies, or assembled into houses, although not as luxurious as Cheng Shijie's carriages, but also more comfortable than living in ordinary tents.
The carriage began to be assembled into a house under the operation of the soldiers, which is also very simple, the carriage is facing the outside of the direction is the shield, the inner side of the shield is removed, and the roof is formed, if the two carriages are assembled together, you can form a house about one zhang eight feet long, about one zhang six feet wide, about twenty-five square meters.
A house of about twenty-five square meters, sleeping twenty-four soldiers is naturally very crowded, but the soldiers of the Ning Navy cannot sleep all, and some people must be left to work on duty, so they can still sleep. The soldiers had stoves burning in their RVs, but it wasn't cold.
In fact, Sun Chengzong was the first person in the Ming Dynasty to propose the use of a chariot array to resist the Jiannu army, what he didn't expect was that Cheng Shijie was not only similar to him in terms of strategic thinking, but even the use of chariots was the same as him.
Sun Chengzong visited the outer defense line of the Ning Navy soldiers, even if he was very tired, he also finished the inspection seriously.
This battle has attracted the attention of the whole country.
The entire Ming Dynasty doesn't know how many people are paying attention to this battle, and everyone knows that the significance of the victory or defeat of this battle has far exceeded the battle itself.
If it can win, the morale of the Ming army, which has been rotten to the extreme, will be greatly boosted, and the aggressive arrogance of Jiannu will also be collected a little, and it will be honest for a year or two, so that Daming can take a breath and clean up the situation of smoke and fire in the country.
If you lose, how many soldiers and horses you lose are still second, the key is that Cheng Shijie, the best generals, may not be able to come back, and now the Ming Dynasty, which is now extremely weak, where can he afford such a blow?
What's more, this battle also leads to the political struggle in the center, if Cheng Shijie wins, Xu Guangqi, the cabinet boss behind him, will definitely rise and may become the first assistant of the Ming cabinet. If defeated, the Donglin Party is likely to make a comeback.
In the past few years, it has been difficult to clear the influence of the Donglin Party in the imperial court, and at the critical moment of this war, it will fall short.
Sun Chengzong is not greedy for merit, he just wants to use his rich experience to pick up and fill in the gaps for Cheng Shijie, find problems in time, solve problems, and win this battle, so as not to be caught by Huang Taiji.
On the whole, the morale of the Ning Navy is good, everyone behaves very easily, and almost all the soldiers are talking about how much military merit they can share and how much reward they can get after this battle.
Coming to all the right flank corps of the Dongjiang Army, here is already the guard of the Ning Navy, Zhou Ning, who is in charge, and the remnants of the Dongjiang Army and the remnants of the Guanning Army are jointly defending.
Huang Long, the last general soldier of the Dongjiang Army, died, and the officers and men of the Dongjiang Army were a little sad. Huanglong may be very greedy, or he may love to drink the blood of soldiers, but when the Dongjiang army was rushed into a mess by the Houjin cavalry and was about to collapse, he did not hesitate to go up, leading the Dongjiang army to fight to the death by example, blocking the impact of the Houjin heavy cavalry with his flesh and blood, and buying time for the Ning Navy.
Cheng Shijie told Sun Chengzong that he wanted to ask for credit to the imperial court for Huanglong, no matter how many shortcomings Huanglong had, his death would be a purchase and sale.
Death is greater.
In the camp of Jiannu, Huang Taiji looked at the heavy snow outside the tent, he was very anxious, like ants on a hot pot, walking around, completely losing interest in drinking wine and eating meat.
The snow is falling heavier and heavier, and for Jiannu, the impact is very deadly. Almost all the tents were consigned by war horses, and fortunately, too many people died, and now the tents are enough, and the food shortage has been greatly alleviated.
Too many people died in this battle......
Even if you don't count the Mongolian left and right battalions and the Han army flags, just count the elite of the eight banners, among the eight banners, the heaviest loss of the red flag with nearly 3,000 casualties, followed by the positive red flag with more than 2,000 people, followed by the blue flag and the blue flag, the white flag, the white flag, and the yellow flag with the least losses, only more than 300 people.
The elite of the Eight Banners suffered more than 12,000 casualties, of which more than 7,000 were killed and more than 4,000 were wounded......
There are really forty-two Niu Lu who died in the battle, and there are eleven Jialazhangjing, you must know that there are only forty Jialazhangjing in the Eight Banners, and among the Jiannu, the Jialazhangjing who commanded 1,500 men and horses is less than the total army of the Ming Dynasty.
The generals died on the battlefield, this is not an unbearable thing for Huang Taiji, as long as he can win this battle and destroy the Ning Navy, even if he fights half of the elite, he will fight this battle.
Because Huang Taiji saw the seriousness of the problem, he knew that Sun Yuanhua had been developing firearms, and Cheng Shijie was replacing Sun Yuanhua, and his firearms troops would only develop more and more powerful, and the power of firearms would become more and more powerful.
But the problem is that there is really not much time left for Dajinguo.
Falling asleep in a daze, when Huang Taiji woke up again, he found that the sky had turned lead gray, and it was almost dawn.
"Someone!"
"The minions are here!"
"Armor King Ben Khan!"
"Yes!"
As the four attendants took the golden armor and draped it on Huang Taiji, in the process, the banner masters, small flag masters, and Baylors of the Eight Banners all rose up one after another.
"King Khan!"
"King Khan!"
As more and more cheers rang out, tens of thousands of cheers spread from far and near, like a surging tsunami, drowning out all sounds.
Huang Taiji left the royal tent and said to the left and right: "Tear down the royal tent, King Ben Khan no longer needs this royal tent!" ”
Yue Tuo said: "What does the Khan King mean that we will definitely take Baliwan City today?" ”
Huang Taiji led the Baylors to ride their horses to inspect the soldiers, and he nodded slightly at the Dajin warriors who cheered and saluted him, and galloped forward non-stop. He likes this kind of scene, the armor is majestic and murderous, with these tens of thousands of tigers and wolves in hand, what can't be done?
"Last year, the Ming army rebuilt the city of the Daling River, and they took a fancy to the land on both sides of the Daling River. If they can defend Dalinghe City, the millions of acres of land on both sides of the river will be owned by them! ”
Huang Taiji continued: "Did King Ben Khan let them get their wish?" ”
"Nope!"
"Nope!"
Mang Gurtai shouted: "Yes, they must not be allowed to do so, otherwise they will repair the city all the way to Shenyang!" ”
Yue Tuo said: "If they build a city, we will pick it up, and it is best to pick up Haizhou and Jinzhou, and drive these rats back to Shandong, so that we can sit back and relax!" ”
The day was completely bright, and in the camp of the Ning Navy, Cheng Shijie's flag was hunting in the wind.
Huang Taiji looked at Cheng Shijie's general banner and said: "I have to admit that the Ming army's firearms are very strong, and we only have one chance to succeed. ”
Hauge shouted: "Father Khan, kill chickens with a knife, son!" ”
Hauge's eyes were bloodshot, and he raised his spear and let out an angry roar: "Are you really my Dajin's nemesis, destined to destroy my Dajin's hegemony?" I don't believe in this evil! ”
Haoge is actually not stupid, he and Huang Taiji's interests are one, when the door is closed, father and son can stab each other, and siblings can also kill each other, but the evil tiger is on the side, so there is only one way to donate the front gap and unite with the outside world.
Hauge took the lead in the charge, and then he stimulated Mang Gurtai, and then the two red flags led by Daishan, Yuetuo, and Shuo Tuo father and son, only the three brothers Azig, Duoduo, and Dolgon did not say anything.
Huang Taiji looked at the three brothers of Dolgon and said: "Fourteenth brother of Dolgon, the eighth brother will go first, and the Dajin Kingdom will be handed over to you in the future!" ”
The eyes of the three Dolgon brothers were a little unkind, and now the yellow flag, the two red flags, and the two blue flags are all desperate, and the two white flags want to preserve their strength?
When a shrunken turtle?
Dolgon said helplessly: "King Khan, minion...... Not a bad breed! ”
The three Dolgon brothers led two white flags and killed the camp of the Ning navy.
Huang Taiji was very satisfied with his operation, and the Jiannu army rushed to the front of the Ning Navy's camp like a tide, basically ignoring the left and right flanks.
In this way, the scope of attack has been reduced, and a large number of enemies have emerged in front of the relatively narrow formation, and the officers and men of the Ning Navy in front of them actually did not completely stop the charge of Jiannu with their thunderbolts.
Sun Chengzong clenched his fists: "You must resist it!" ”
At this time, the Ning Navy had already adjusted its plan, placing the Dongjiang Army and the Guanning Army, which had suffered heavy losses, in front of them, and transferring the Guards Division to defend the right flank.
However, at this moment, Cheng Shijie picked up the walkie-talkie: "Implement the plan of "closing the door and beating the dog"! ”
"Yes!"
If you look at the entire battlefield from the space, you will definitely find that under the crazy attack of Jiannu, the soldiers of the Ming army in front of them seem to be a little unable to hold on and slowly retreat.
Unconsciously, Ning Haijun was originally a square battalion, like a balloon, squeezed into a piece and slowly turned into a concave shape.
With the push shape of time, the concave shape becomes larger and larger.
Yue Tuo finally caught up with Haoge, who had killed the bloody man: "Haoge, hurry back!" ”
Yue Tuo obviously sensed that something was wrong, the Ming army was too weak, and the equipment was not right.
In fact, their opponent was not the officers and men of the Ning Navy, but the officers and men of the Dongjiang Army. Although it is an officer of the Dongjiang Army, there is a soldier of the Ning Navy as a fire support hand, otherwise, the officers and men of the Dongjiang Army will definitely not be able to hold it.
At this time, the officers and soldiers of the Dongjiang Army were very depressed, Cheng Shijie promised them to change their guards and let them retreat, and they consciously asked to serve as the defense in front of them, because this was once an artillery position, and the Jiannu here suffered the most casualties, which became the sad place of the Jiannu. The smart officers and men of the Dongjiang Army thought that they could mix ......
It's just that I didn't expect that Jiannu actually went straight to the middle palace.
In the face of Yue Tuo's persuasion, Haoge had no recklessness, and now his horsepower was almost exhausted, and he couldn't rush anymore, so he could only change people and rush again.
Yue Tuo took three or four thousand horsemen with the remnants of the red flag and continued to fight, and the officers and men of the Dongjiang Army continued to fight and retreat.
Now Yue Tuo's subordinates have paid thousands of casualties and advanced two or three hundred steps towards the Chinese army of the Ning Navy, and Yue Tuo can't move anymore, so he is replaced by Mang Gurtai.
At this time, Huang Taiji, who was watching the formation from behind, had already seen Cheng Shijie's true intentions, and he wanted to shout very much: "This is a trap, retreat quickly!" ”
It's just a pity that Mang Gurtai saw that Yue Tuo and Hauge had achieved good results, and if he didn't have merit, it would seem that he was too incompetent.
If you look down from the air, at this time, the large array of the Ning Navy has changed from concave to half-moon shaped, and Cheng Shijie's position is the end of the month.
This is one of the ancient formations, the whole army is in an arc configuration, shaped like a crescent, is an asymmetrical formation, the general's formation is usually located at the bottom of the crescent concave bottom. During the battle, pay attention to the attack flank, with a thick moon wheel to resist the enemy, the crescent recess seems to be weak, but it contains danger, the general should have a strong combat power, the strong will be brave, and also suitable for some asymmetrical terrain.
Mang Gurtai killed positively, Cheng Shijie raised his hand: "Collect the net, see what big fish have been caught in this net!" ”
With Cheng Shijie's order, the left and right flanks of the Ning Navy began to exert force, this is the real elite of the Ning Navy, they habitually advance with flying thunder cannons, Franc machine guns, and attacks.
"Boom, boom, boom......"
Mang Gurtai was hit in the waist by a stone-hearted Franc cannon and was directly cut in half.
With Mang Gurtai being beheaded by a single shot, the tens of thousands of Jiannu troops all went crazy, letting out an almost crazy howl, and the Chinese troops of the Chaoning Navy rushed over, completely dying. Especially the soldiers of the Zhenglan Banner, they all look desperate, do not seek to kill the enemy, only seek to die together!
Mang Gurtai is the banner owner of the Blue Flag, is their backbone, and now that Mang Gurtai is dead, their backbone is gone! Jiannu ruled the army very strictly, Mang Gurtai died, even if they can go back alive, I am afraid there will be no good fruit to eat, it is better to die here in battle, and die with the master general, at least to ensure that the family will not be implicated and sold into slavery!
Ning Haijun also let out a wail that was almost mad, the difference was that Jiannu was desperate, while they were ecstatic. God is pitiful, after fighting Jiannu for so many years, how could he have beheaded a Baylor?
Today, this miracle actually happened right under their noses, as long as they can go back alive, this merit, this glory, is enough for them to last a lifetime, and even several generations will not be able to eat it all!
Jiannu's crazy appearance looks scary, but that's just it, everyone is carrying a head on two shoulders, afraid of hanging, just fight with them!
It's all up to this, do they have a choice but to work hard? If you want to escape, you will run away a long time ago, and now you will run away...... Have you ever seen the Emperor of the Apocalypse die, and he still went to seek refuge in Wei Zhongxian's idiot?
The officers and men of the Dongjiang Army burst out with tenacious combat effectiveness, and actually stubbornly blocked the Zhenglan Banner who charged to the death, and the two sides launched a bloody battle for the corpse of Mang Gurtai.
Finally, Zhang Xiaoke, a guerrilla general of the Dongjiang Army, snatched the upper body of Mang Gurtai and presented it in front of Cheng Shijie: "Congratulations to the commander, the last general is fortunate to be alive!" ”
