"Amma, there are only more than 200 of them, should we break through?"

On the low hill of Azhemi, looking at the armored cavalry of the Bohai Navy that was intimidating him, Balchaha also gradually calmed down from the panic at the beginning.

When he looked at the word, he thought that there was a large group of foot soldiers behind this armored horse, but now it seems that they should be alone and collided with his own side.

With this amount of troops, as long as they are willing to spend money, they can definitely break through.

"Their horsepower is insufficient, so they don't dare to ride and shoot at the surface."

Xiyang Ha's eyes were vicious, after all, he was a person who had escaped from the hands of the Ming army uninjured many times, and he could see that the Ming generals on the opposite side were recovering their horsepower, because the main more than 100 horsemen had not moved from beginning to end.

Xiyang Ha glanced at his people, and at this moment they gathered under the hill like frightened birds, and many of the baggage carts that were originally used to set up the formation were also discarded.

Xiyang Ha was sure to break through, so he ordered Bald Chaha: "Take out all the horses in the hands of the subordinates and give them to the men to ride, I don't believe that my two thousand men can't deal with these two hundred horses!" ”

"Yes!" Confidently answering the order, he began to gather a large number of horses from his subordinates and distribute them to the men in armor.

Seeing that the gathering was almost complete, Xiyangha began to gather men with horses to fight.

In just a moment, the crowd was in a commotion, and nearly a thousand Jurchen horse infantry on horseback appeared in front of the Bohai Navy.

For most of them, there was some nervousness, but there was absolute confidence.

Such self-confidence is not blind, but can be seen from the battle between the two sides.

Although there are few people on the side of the Bohai Navy, everyone is dressed in armor, and they are well-armed with weapons, equipped with lunges and bows, and long and short soldiers.

Looking at the Jurchen cavalry again, in addition to the 300 ironclad cavalry in the front row, almost everyone in the back of the leather cavalry rode horses, whether it was horse speed, weapons, or personnel quality, it could not be compared with the Bohai Navy.

Even the three hundred ironclad cavalry who took the lead, everyone could see that their equipment was poor.

The iron plate armor forged by shoddy means doesn't know if it can withstand the thrust of the Zhangsi spear.

"Amma, shall we rush?"

After the assembly, Balchaha looked at the Bohai Navy who stood still in the face of the Jurchen cavalry in front of him, and his heart was actually a little empty.

"No need to rush ......"

Xiyang Ha looked at the Ming army in front of him, he could feel that this Ming army was very different from the Ming army that surrounded and suppressed them before, which was the reason why he did not dare to attack.

"Let the man who has no horses take the lead and break through, and as long as he dares to move, we will strike."

"Yes......"

Under Xiyangha's orders, Balchaha began to arrange nearly 1,000 foot soldiers to take the lead, escorting nearly 10,000 troops to try to break through.

"Your Highness, the thieves are beginning to break through."

Yisha came with a small banner cavalry on horseback, his face was solemn, and his eyes looked to the west from time to time, obviously waiting for Fu Rang.

Just in the face of his solemnity, Zhu Gaoxu inserted the iron spear in his hand into the soil and took out the exaggerated riding bow on the side.

Ordinary riding bows are forty catties, but Zhu Gaoxu's riding bow is already 100 catties, and the arrows are four feet long, and the arrows are nearly half the size of a palm, which can be described as a javelin.

Seeing him take a bow, all the armies thought that they were going to face a breakthrough, and they took their bows and prepared arrows.

However, when they were ready for everything, Zhu Gaoxu instructed Yisha: "You are here, when Xiyang Ha and the cavalry rush over, you will flank and entangle with them." After that, Zhu Gaoxu looked behind him:

"Come and two little flags to provoke me!"

"This ......" Yizha didn't expect Zhu Gaochu to dare to step forward to provoke in the face of such a weakness, but he couldn't stop it, so Zhu Gaochu took more than 20 cavalry with bows to advance to Xiyangha's headquarters.

"Amma, they did it."

In the team, Bald Chaha pointed to Zhu Gaoxu's more than 20 horsemen in Xiyang Ha in the Chinese army.

Xiyang Ha was unmoved: "It's just a dozen people, not a ...... who wants to do it"

"Bang!"

Suddenly, the big tree on Xiyangha's side broke violently, and broken wood splashed.

This sudden scene was something that no one reacted to, and by the time they reacted, Da Xuan had already fallen straight to the ground.

"What's going on!" Xiyang Ha shouted at the ten-captain guarding Daxu after realizing it, but saw the ten-captain standing on the side with two trembling forces, and there was a soldier lying on the ground.

"It's the arrow that the Ming general shot!"

A voice sounded from the crowd, and Xiyang Ha wondered in his mind: "Arrows? ”

Without waiting for all his reactions, a dark shadow flashed in front of him.

"Hiss!!"

The neighing of the horse came, it stood up high, and the moment it raised the horse's hooves and fell, this time Xiyangha saw clearly what it was.

I saw that the horse's head was pierced by an exaggerated arrow two fingers thick, and even the soldiers with the riders behind him were shot through the face, and a man and a horse could not die again.

In a cold sweat, Xiyang Ha instinctively turned over and dismounted, lest he become the next person to be shot.

There were many others like him, but they were just lying on horseback, and only Balchaha had the courage to raise his head.

I saw that less than a hundred steps in front of them, there was a man with a bow and arrows in front of the twenty or so horsemen who had walked out of the Ming army before.

He rode a red horse, with an exaggerated bow in his hand, and kept shooting arrows at himself, and with each shot of arrows, someone fell in response.

"Amma! The Ming army on the opposite side is shooting arrows! ”

"What?" Xiyangha, who was squatting on the ground, was taken aback and hurriedly asked, "They rushed over?" ”

"No, at least seventy paces away." Bald Chaha was also frightened by this exaggerated distance, and hurriedly turned over and dismounted, half-kneeling beside Xiyangha.

"Seventy steps?" Xiyang Ha glanced at the corpses of the man and horse behind him.

"Is this an arrow that can be shot at seventy paces?" This thought flashed through Xiyangha's mind, and he wanted to be angry that Balchaha was coaxing him, but listening to the constant screams in his ears, his intuition told him that Balchaha was not lying.

"Amma, send troops, if you continue like this, your morale will be gone!"

Balchaha persuaded Xiyangha, and Xiyangha looked around when he heard this, and sure enough, many soldiers were lying on horseback in fear.

"Rush!"

Xiyang gritted his teeth and could only make this decision that went against his plan.

Seeing him say this, Balchaha immediately stood up, took a bow and arrows, and shot the Ming Di arrow in the direction of the Bohai Navy.

"Rush to kill the Ming army!"

Balchaha shouted around, accompanied by the sound of Ming Di breaking through the air, and many Jurchens who were too scared to get up also hardened their horses and began to rush towards Zhu Gaoxu.

"Your Highness! Dong Yu has set off! ”

More than 70 steps away, seeing the Jurchens urging their horses, more than 20 cavalrymen who came to provoke with Zhu Gaochu shouted to him one after another, but Zhu Gaochu was not in a hurry and continued to draw his bow and arrows.

Zhu Gaoxu led people to shoot arrows, not to kill many people, but to undermine their morale, attract Xiyangha to have to send troops to fight him, and then interrupt their breakthrough.

Now that his goal had been achieved, he also kicked his legs lightly, signaling the red donkey to return to the rear.

As for himself, he continued to shoot arrows backwards, almost every arrow piercing through the Jurchen cavalry that was trying to pursue them like a javelin.

"Shoot the arrows!"

Xiyangha, who was on horseback, watched Zhu Gaoxu release arrows while running away, and his anger also came up, and he ordered the Jurchens around him to shoot arrows.

Under his orders, thousands of Jurchens drew their bows and arrows, preparing to gather fire on Zhu Gaoxu's side.

When the distance was fifty steps, all the Jurchens let go, and the arrows that pressed Zhu Gaoxu thought of them, like a black cloud destroying the city.

It is undeniable that the Jurchens have practiced good archery skills in the white mountains and black waters, but the backward military industry cannot provide them with good bows and arrows.

Even though they were only fifty paces away, many of their arrows still couldn't touch Zhu Gaoxu's side, and occasionally a few arrows hit the Bohai Navy, but they were only stuck on the Ming armor, and they didn't even cause some flesh wounds.

"Dog Tartar comes after Grandpa!"

"With this archery, you can't even shoot a horse's buttocks!"

"Hahaha......"

Zhu Gaochu took more than 20 horsemen who were looking for provocation and constantly taunted the Jurchens chasing behind him, but Zhu Gaochu did not say a word, only caring about shooting arrows with his bow and arrows.

After more than 100 paces of pursuit, Zhu Gaoxu shot all the 48 arrows of the two quivers on the left and right, and the casualties he caused made all the Jurchens who pursued him slow down in horror.

Gradually, all of them stopped, and Zhu Gaoxu and the others rode back to their station.

Pulling the reins, Zhu Gaoxu made a circle, returned to the place where he inserted the gun, put the bow in his hand into the bow bag, and pulled out the Zhangliu iron spear.

"He's out of arrows, don't be afraid!"

Balchaha saw Zhu Gaoxu's move to retract his bow and constantly encouraged his men.

Encouraged by him and Xiyangha again, the Jurchens also began to continue to pursue the Ming army.

Only this time, Zhu Gaoxu did not run again, but turned his wrist and leveled the Zhangliu iron spear, ready to go.

"Facial protrusion!"

"Beep-"

When Zhu Gaoxu shouted the military order of 'face sudden', the long-awaited chief flag officer and the officials of the hundred households blew the wooden whistle one after another, and more than 100 Bohai elite horsemen rushed out like a tiger pounced on a rabbit.

"Rush!"

Seeing that the Ming army was preparing to face a breakthrough, Xiyangha also realized that this was an opportunity and urged the army to charge.

For the same face burst, even if the Jurchen bow and arrow are not good, but only one-tenth of the arrows are successful, and this Ming army has to die here.

"Kill!"

The shouting of killing sounded in the hills northeast of the Great Black Mountain, and in the face of the tiger pounce of thousands of Jurchens, more than 100 Bohai elite horsemen did not retreat, but opened their bows and arrows and prepared to attack.

Fifty steps, thirty steps, twenty steps......

The Jurchens had already begun to release arrows in the face, but the Bohai Elite Cavalry had never let go of the bowstring, even if they had several arrows or even a dozen arrows in their bodies, they had not let go.

They were waiting, waiting for Zhu Gaoxu's whistle......

"Beep-"

A crisp and rapid whistle sounded, and in an instant, more than 100 armor-piercing arrows came out of the string, and everyone also beat their horses in a roundabout way.

The two sides ran east and west when they were about to intersect, just to face each other.

No one had time to look behind them, trying to avoid crashing into the ranks of the enemy and being taken away by the men.

This short attack was only to examine the riding and archery skills of both sides.

For archery, Jurchens such as Xiyang Ha have natural self-confidence.

However, when they successfully retreated in a roundabout way after the face-to-face and prepared for a second face-to-face attack, a scene on the hilly grassland made all of them stop their attempts to face the attack again.

On the grass where the two armies raised their bows and shot arrows at each other, dozens of nearly 100 Jurchens lay on the ground, while their opponents, the Han people from the south, only planted more than a dozen people.

What's even more terrifying is that most of the more than ten people who got off the horse are still alive, although they were hit by arrows in the face, they covered their wounds with one hand and stood up with their bodies with the other.

On the other hand, none of the Jurchens who dismounted from their horses moved, and all of them were cut through their heads by the armor-piercing arrows the size of the baby's fists.

The armor-piercing arrow added to the front of the formation, this set of Ming troops was perfected after 200 years, and then Nurhachi learned the means to deal with the Ming army, but now it is used by Zhu Gaoxu more than 200 years in advance, and the object he uses is the Guanwai Jurchens, who are poorer than the late Ming army.

"Withdraw!"

Sensing that things were not good, Xiyangha did not hesitate at all, and he took the lead in retreating in the direction of the Mulanda River.

All the Jurchens in Xiyangha's department seemed to have long adapted to their own Khan's style of play, so after Xiyangha retreated, they followed Xiyangha's footsteps and began to retreat.

During this period, some people rushed to the retreating group of women and children, but they could not take a single person with them.

"Chase slowly, don't chase too fast!"

Xiyang Han's technique and mentality of oiling the soles of his feet, even Zhu Gaoxu couldn't react at the first time, but paused for a few breaths before ordering a slow pursuit.

Their horsepower was insufficient, and in order to avoid Xiyang Ha is retreat, they could not pursue with all their might.

But even so, they were able to follow behind more than 1,000 people in Xiyang Hana far away with their excellent military horses.

"Yi Lost, take the besieged brothers to drag this group of women and children and foot soldiers!"

During the chase, Zhu Gaochu issued a military order to Yishiha, although Yishiha was not worried about Zhu Gaoxu, he knew that this was a military order and must not be disobeyed.

"The last general commands!"

With his men and horses, Yishaha withdrew from the pursuit team, and continued to surround the hundreds of foot soldiers and nearly 10,000 women and children with the remaining 90 or so horsemen who were originally responsible for the siege.

Seeing that he was abandoned, hundreds of foot soldiers still wanted to fight to the death, forming a formation and killing the Bohai spirit cavalry besieging on the periphery.

But they didn't want the Bohai Elite Cavalry to fight them at all, but only besieged them within a hundred paces of them.

Although the gap in their siege was huge, they could not hold them with horses, and the hundreds of tribes and nearly 10,000 tribes besieged were only ploughing cattle and sheep.

Yishaha didn't need to besiege everyone, he only needed to drag it down, so he was more worried about Zhu Gaoxu who went to pursue.

He looked in the direction of Zhu Gaoxu and them, but saw that they had already walked away, and their figures were blurred and almost invisible.

"Drive! Drive! ”

On the hilly grassland, more than 1,000 people such as Xiyangha were retreating wildly, and there was no move to save horsepower at all.

Since many of them were riding horses, people kept falling behind on the way to escape, but Xiyang Ha ignored them.

In his opinion, the most valuable thing around him was the three hundred armor horsemen riding on war horses, and everything else could be discarded.

"Today, the Ming army is using weapons to bully me, and I must find this situation another day!"

Xiyangha, who gritted his teeth, did not forget to think about how to retaliate against the Bohai Navy even if he was retreating.

It's just that his idea is difficult to realize, because a river has already appeared ahead.

"The Mudalan River has arrived, cross the river!"

Xiyang Ha explained to the bald chaha and the three hundred armored cavalry behind him, and there was no longer the rest of the horse infantry who fled with him in his eyes.

However, it seemed that he thought of Zhu Gaoxu, who was following closely behind, Xiyang Ha still reined in front of the magnolia and ordered the horse infantry behind him: "Cross the river in formation, and the first soldier and the first soldier will cross the river first." ”

Fearing that the horse infantry would be overwhelmed by the armor and that it would not be able to cross the river smoothly, Xiyangha prepared to leave the horse infantry.

It was only when he said this that he felt that the world was spinning in an instant, and he fell backwards from his horse.

"Ama (Great Khan)!"

Xiyang Ha only heard the people around him shouting to him, and when he came back to his senses, he only felt that his chest was extremely painful, and half of his body was numb.

"Kill!"

The voice of the Han people......

Xiyang Ha tried to turn his head, only to see his own soldiers and horses charging in the opposite direction of the Mudalan River.

As he had guessed, when he saw the Mudalan River, Zhu Gaoxu ordered the whole army to charge, preparing to completely consume the remaining horsepower here.

On the way to charge, through the actions of Xiyang Ha's father and son who issued orders many times before, Zhu Gaoxu had already locked down who Xiyang Ha was.

Because of this, Zhu Gaoxu did not hesitate to take an arrow from the quiver beside him, and shot Xiyangha with an arrow.

Facing the three hundred Jurchen armored cavalry and hundreds of horse infantry rushing towards him, Zhu Gaoxu had no time to take the arrows, so he simply hung up his riding bow and charged with six iron guns.

"Your Highness!"

Between the two sides, the arrows were like locusts, and the Bohai Spirit Cavalry didn't seem to expect that His Royal Highness was not going to face the rush, but to charge.

In the middle of the mistake, it was too late to protect Zhu Gaoxu, and Zhu Gaochu rushed into the hundreds of Jurchen cavalry alone, and was instantly submerged.

"Kill that general!"

Bald Chaha raised his bow and shot at Zhu Gaoxu, regardless of whether he missed or not, he turned over and dismounted and went straight to Xiyangha.

"Amma! How are you! ”

Balchaha knelt on the ground and picked up Xiyang Ha, and at this moment he could clearly see that the armor on his Amma's chest was seriously deformed, and there was an arrow with an armor-piercing arrow the size of a baby's fist scattered on the ground next to him.

"Hurt ......"

Xiyang Ha's face was painful, and then he realized that he might have been shot.

His mind flashed to the tall general he had fought with in the dwarf hill before, and it was no surprise that he had been attacked by him this time.

"I'll help you get on the horse and cross the river!"

Bald Chaha looked at his own Ama who was still breathing, and he didn't dare to slack off, and immediately helped him up, and hugged him on his horse.

Leading Xiyangha's horse and his own horse, Balchaha ignored the army that was fighting behind him and was about to go down to the Mudaran River.

"Uhh

The screams came from behind, and Bald Chaha couldn't hold back his curiosity, and turned his head to look, but saw Zhu Gaoxu, who had been swallowed by the sea of people before, suddenly stabbed left and right in his own phalanx, and the soldiers fell on horseback wherever he passed, and no one was together.

Nearly a thousand people are a lot, but the only ones who can make a move and deal with Zhu Gaoxu are the four or five people who stand in front of him, and the peripheral ones have no way to deal with him except for Zhang Bow and arrow.

Weapons came from all directions, but he was smashed and flew by him with a Zhangliu iron spear, and every move and style stabbed towards the opposite door, and countless people were trampled on their horses.

"Shoot the arrows!"

Seeing that the short soldiers were incompetent, the frightened Jurchens opened their bows and arrows one after another, and dozens of arrows hit Zhu Gaoxu and Chiyu like flying locusts from all sides, all of which were embedded in the Ming armor.

Zhu Gaoxu pulled the reins of the horse with one hand to protect his face with his arm armor, and rushed to kill with an iron gun in the other, facing the rain of guns and arrows, he cut through all the Jurchen cavalry in front of him from the front unharmed, and successfully broke through.

At this moment, he was hit by dozens of arrows, and one person and one horse looked like an oversized hedgehog from the front.

He didn't turn back and rush to kill again, but went straight to Xiyang Ha and his son, who were crossing the river.

The tall horse moved at high speed, and Balchaha, who saw this scene, hurriedly waded across the river.

However, the Mudalan River did not hinder their father and son, and they soon staggered across the river successfully.

Balchaha turned on his horse, prostrate on the horse's back, and led his horse on his stomach and fled.

"Go!"

Wearing heavy armor, the red donkey could not cross the Mudalan River, but Zhu Gaoxu stood on the stirrup, pulling the reins in one hand and holding an iron spear in the other, his body was bent like an iron tire bow in an instant, and the spear in his hand was projected out in an instant.

"Boom!"

The distance of seven or eight zhang was crossed in an instant, and the fifteen-pound spear passed through the neck of the war horse carrying Xiyangha in an instant, and the war horse was killed instantly, and it was too late to even scream.

"Amma!"

Vulchaha cried out in terror, but his body honestly shook the reins of his horse, and fled far away on his warhorse.

Zhu Gaoxu turned over and dismounted, pulled the red donkey across the Mudalan River, walked to the horse corpse, pulled out the iron spear, and looked down at Xiyang Ha, whose body was half suppressed by the horse corpse.

At this moment, he already has less air in and more air, even if Zhu Gaoxu doesn't do it, it is estimated that he will not live long.

Sticking the iron spear aside, Zhu Gaoxu pulled out the iron wedge at his waist and smashed the arrows stuck in the armor one after another, and then inserted the iron wedge into the belt around his waist.

"Woo-woo-"

On the other side of the Mudalan River, more dull horns and horses' hooves sounded in the distance, and a 'Fu' flag appeared among the many Bohai Sea flags.

Fu Rang, who had been waiting for a long time, finally appeared, and he and hundreds of horse infantry rushed to the Jurchen armor soldiers who were fighting with more than 100 Bohai banners.

"Those who descend will not be killed!"

Zhang Chun and Yishaha remembered Zhu Gaoxu's words, and used Jurchen language to remind the Jurchen soldiers who were still resisting.

"Xiyangha has been captured!"

Across the Mudalan River, Zhu Gaoxu yelled at Fu Rang and the others on the other bank.

Hearing Zhu Gaoxu's words, Zhang Chun excitedly rode his horse to Zhu Gaoxu's side, and Yizha hurriedly conveyed the meaning, shouting in Jurchen language: "Xiyang Ha is dead, surrender and don't kill!" ”

Hearing that the Jurchens in Xiyangha had been captured, they instantly lost the strength to resist, and after looking at each other and confirming that they had been surrounded by the Ming army, they simply dropped their weapons.

Some of them tried to resist, but Fu Rang, who rushed in, swung his spear and pierced his neck.

"Put away your weapons and let them take off their armor."

Stabbing to death a Jurchen who tried to resist, Fu Rang turned his horse and reined in front of the horse formation, blocking the middle of nearly a thousand Jurchens and Bohai elite horsemen.

He didn't understand the Jurchens, so he explained to Yishaha, and Yishaha also conveyed it.

"Put away your weapons, take off your armor and surrender, we won't kill those who surrender!"

The words of Fu Rang, the general of Yishaha, conveyed that the few remaining hundreds of Jurchens looked at each other, looked at the more than 400 Ming troops in full armor, and finally could only remove each other's armor under their supervision.

At this time, Zhang Chun also crossed the Mudalan River excitedly, and crawled in front of Zhu Gaoxu, staring at Xiyang Ha who was pressed by the horse corpse with half of his body.

This great enemy of Jilin City for many years, his father-killing enemy finally appeared in front of him.

Zhang Chun's hands trembled with excitement, he dreamed day and night of the scene of his hand blade Xiyangha, but he didn't expect this day to come so soon.

He had thought of a thousand ways to kill him in his dreams, but when he actually saw Xiyangha, he couldn't think of anything.

At this time, Zhu Gaoxu, who was standing beside him, pulled out the long knife at his waist and handed it to him:

"I'm going to take the head to the Governor's Mansion to repay Jilin City, and it's up to you to cut the head."

"Your Highness......" Zhang Chun didn't know what to say, he took a deep breath, and wanted to step forward to make a move, but in the end he held back and turned to Zhu Gaoxu:

"Your Highness, the credit for capturing alive is greater than the merit of beheading, although the last general hates this thief, but compared to the merits of the brothers in Jilin City, what is the personal grudge, or please ask Your Highness to capture this person alive and send him to Nanjing City, please Your Majesty will execute this thief."

Fourteen-year-old Zhang Chun was able to say this in front of Zhu Gaoxu, which surprised Zhu Gaoxu.

However, in the face of his words, Zhu Gaoxu still stretched out his hand and put it on his shoulder: "He looks like this, he won't live to Nanjing, let's do it." ”

Zhu Gaoxu's words are true, he was hit by an arrow, and he was crushed by a war horse for a long time, if Xiyang Ha can still survive, it can be called a miracle.

"Then it's going to happen......"

Seeing that His Royal Highness said this, Zhang Chun no longer shirked, stepped forward slowly, and watched Xiyang Ha, whose face was covered with blood, swing his knife and cut down.

"Poof!"
