Chapter 101 Battle of Shanhaiguan 8
After listening to Lu Xiangsheng's words, Xiao Tianjian and Li Xin suddenly realized that Xiao Tianjian patted his forehead and laughed: "So it is! I didn't expect it! What Mr. Lu said makes sense! Ha ha! This slave chieftain Taiji is his heart to kill! But I'm afraid it suits me to do this! In this case, I will fulfill his wish! Pass the order and beat me hard! Since these Mongolian lackeys even want their masters to die, let's not show mercy to them! Be ruthless and let them know that they have followed the wrong master!"
Li Xin also laughed and immediately passed on Xiao Tianjian's order. In fact, he did not need their order at this time, and Diao Zheng and Liu Yaoben of the two wings would not be polite to these Mongolian soldiers.
When they saw that the Mongolian cavalry would come out, they grinned and grinned. Diao Zheng was even more happy to lead the soldiers in the middle. He was worried that Luo Li would grab all his credit and lost their share. At this time, as soon as he saw the Mongolian soldiers coming out, he immediately laughed.
"These donkey-day tahs are really crazy! How dare you come and die now, come on! Don't lose the people in our second town, beat me hard, and leave as much as you want!"
As soon as his words fell, the gun battalion on the left wing immediately began to fire, quickly hitting the shells one by one into the Mongolian cavalry rushing on the battlefield.
In addition, under Diao Zheng's mobilization, including Liu Yaoben on the right wing, they also quickly adjusted their generals, and quickly began to form a phalanx with the battalion as a unit. Each phalanx was relatively independent, but it happened to cooperate with each other, leaving a certain amount for the enemy cavalry to pass through in the middle. Channels to prevent the Mongolian cavalry from rushing into the phalanx, which can effectively relieve the impact of the cavalry and automatically disperse towards these empty passages, just becoming their best prey.
Such a method has been tested by the Dazhong Army, and the effect can be said to be quite good. The reason why they come up with such a method is that Xiao Tianjian, a super cheater, plays a decisive role. As a military fan, Xiao Tianjian has seen a lot of examples. By chance, he has seen Such a way for the marching army to deal with the cavalry is to disperse the troops. Although the troops are scattered, it can effectively buffer the impact of the enemy cavalry. If the enemy cavalry wants to fight desperately, such a deployment method is very effective. The enemy cavalry will unconsciously rush into the array along the channel left, and just fall into In the hunt of the munitions and gunners.
Xiao Tianjian had already used this method when he was in Tongzhou City. At that time, he beat the Jiannu cavalry of the Gebusxian Camp led by Abatai.
Now the Mongolian cavalry rushed over and used this method to deal with them, so the two-winged generals quickly began to change their formations under the command of their respective generals, and at the same time organized firemen to start intercepting and shooting at the Mongolian cavalry.
The effect of shelling the cavalry from a long distance, especially solid shells, is not good. When the cavalry charge, the distance between each other is relatively large, and it is far from the dense queue of marching troops, so the shells are lost a lot, but it can cause great psychological pressure on these Mongolian cavalry. If they can't hit it, just forget it, as long as they get on. A cannonball will immediately tear people and horses into pieces and turn them into a ball of flesh and blood. The scene is extremely tragic. Some war horses' legs are swept by cannonballs. Even if the horse's legs are broken, even people and horses will fall to the ground. If the Mongolian cavalry does not fall or die, they will be immediately trampled to death by the people and horses behind them.
With the acceleration of the Mongolian cavalry approaching, a row of firearms also began to fire in about a hundred steps. The Mongolian cavalry are light cavalry, and people can wear armor, but the war horses are rarely armored. Therefore, the method taken by the large and medium arms armorers is to shoot people first, and each row of guns is released. The Mongolian cavalry will immediately turn over the horse and fall down a lot.
These Mongols also used all their strength. They lowered their bodies as much as possible on the horse's back. They could hardly see their figures on the front. They desperately urged the horses to rush forward one by one, while preparing their bows and arrows on the war horse. Under the governor of their flag, they quickly accelerated towards the Dazhong army. .
As soon as the Dazhong army fired three rounds of volley, the Mongolian cavalry rushed to their front. These Mongolian soldiers immediately rose up and roared one by one and began to shoot arrows at the array of the Dazhong army. Suddenly, they sprinkled a cluster of arrow rain into the Dazhong army one by one, and immediately gave it to the generals of the Dazhong army. It caused a certain amount of killing.
But the luck of the Mongolian soldiers is basically over. Whether it is by the instinct of the people or the horse, the various phalanxes of the Dazhong Army put down a clump of long guns and become hedgehogs at this time. As long as people are not crazy, they will not drive their horses to hit these long guns, so the Mongolian soldiers are on the horse's back. While shooting arrows, after rushing to the front of the Dazhong army, they instinctively rushed into the passage between the phalanxes.
But when they rushed into these channels, they found that they were wrong, and it was too late for them to regret.
In the infantry phalanx of the Dazhong Army, the firearms are concentrated in the four corners, and there are almost no dead corners for shooting. As the Mongolian cavalry rushed into these passages, they found that there are the firearms of the Dazhong Army on both sides. These firearms have long been ready to fire. When the Mongolian cavalry rush into the channel, it is equivalent to taking their flanks. The troops were exposed in front of the Dazhong army. Even if they raised their guns and began to release them, the Mongolian soldiers immediately turned over in the sound of gunpowder smoke and bursting beans, and fell to the ground one after another.
The war is so tragic. At this time on the battlefield, there are all kinds of noisy sounds, such as the sound of fire, the sound of killing, the sound of cannons, the sound of screams, and the sad sound of countless war horses. The horses of Mongolian soldiers fell to the ground with sadness, and the Mongolian soldiers on their backs fell to the ground heavily, even if the Mongolian soldiers rode With superb skills, it is not easy for them not to break their necks under such a high-speed Mercedes-Benz. Even if someone is lucky enough not to be killed, when they get up, they will be immediately knocked to the ground again by bullets.
The Mongolian soldiers have never encountered such a battle array at all. In their opinion, the war should be gathered together by the hedges, which is more stable. Unexpectedly, the large and medium-sized army is divided into phalanxes, leaving the passages for them to pass through, and these passages are basically the road to hell. As long as they rush in, they will be extinct. Few people could rush out again. These channels, like monsters that devouring human lives, swallowed a batch of Mongolian soldiers, and even spit out the bone dregs. Thousands of Mongolian soldiers can be said to have disappeared in the two-wing formations of the large and medium-sized army in a blink of an eye.
Huang Taiji continued to watch the situation of the war in front of him from afar. When he saw such a strange formation on both sides of the Dazhong Army, he didn't understand it at first, but then when he saw the Mongolian soldiers rushing into the wings, the people who were beaten turned upside down one by one. He knew that the formation of the Dazhong Army was basically to deal with. They used it to rise up, so they were secretly lucky. Fortunately, he sent Mongolian cavalry. If the vest soldiers of the Gebushsian battalion under his command were sent out, it is estimated that it was still the man who was killed by the Dazhong army at this time.
Seeing the battle like this, don't think about the victory. After this short hour of fierce battle, they built slaves and lost thousands of people. Huang Taiji finally decided to give up at this time, because he knew that even the Mongolian Eight Banners were withdrawn at this time. When they come down, they are basically disabled. Even if they want to fight against their slaves after they go back, they have no strength. As for those Han soldiers! Now is not the time to consume them. After all, they are much easier to control than the Mongols.
So Huang Taiji ordered and began to retreat, but this time he retreated, not a defeat, but slowly retreated behind the heavy army, which did not leave much opportunity for the Dazhong army.
When Xiao Tianjian saw that the face of Huang Taiji in the distance rolled up and began to slowly retreat from the battlefield, he took a look at Lu Xiangsheng and smiled, "If it's true, Mr. Lu is right!" The slave chief didn't want to fight with us here at all. They finally understood that in the face of us, they could only retreat outside the gate!
Li Xin, what do you think you should do next?
Li Xin heard Xiao Tianjian ask him for his opinion, so he immediately replied, "Go back to the emperor! Jiannu didn't want to fight a decisive battle with our army at all today, and their strength was not much damaged. I'm afraid it's unlikely to annihilate them today! However, Weichen thought that if they wanted to leave so easily, they could not be too cheap! We can give them a ride! If it goes well, you can take the opportunity to restore Ningyuan City!"
Xiao Tianjian nodded with satisfaction and agreed with Li Xin's opinion. Today, he also saw that Jiannu actually had no idea of fighting to the death. The reason why Huang Taiji wanted to fight such a battle again was that his purpose was to consume the strength of some Mongolians and Han people, and personally test the combat strength of his army. Now Since he wants to withdraw his troops, according to the current situation, it is impossible for him to take this opportunity to eat the army of Jiannu, and he knows that dealing with Jiannu is not an overnight thing now. Since Jiannu doesn't want to fight here, they can completely rely on the number of cavalry. Many advantages were withdrawn to Liaodong, so he could only watch them withdraw temporarily, but Li Xin was right. It was impossible to slip away so cheaply.
So with Xiao Tianjian's approval, Li Xin immediately ordered that the whole army began to suppress and pressure the Jiannu army to retreat.
Wu Xiang stood on Shanhaiguan City. Of course, he knew everything about the war outside the city. Although he was full of confidence that Xiao Tianjian led his troops to win the battle, he still did not expect that the victory would come so easily. In his previous eyes, Jiannu was so terrible and almost invincible, but when Jiannu touched After joining the Dazhong Army, he suddenly became weak and ridiculous. First of all, Jiannu imitated the tactics of the Dazhong Army and sent their Wuzhen Chaoha Camp to fight with the Dazhong Army. As a result, he was defeated by the Dazhong Army like a child.
Then Jiannu sent the Mongolian cavalry to attack the flanks of the Dazhong Army from the two wings, but the Dazhong Army only changed a strange formation. The Mongolian cavalry bumped into the phalanx of the Dazhong Army like a wild donkey. As a result, in an instant, they were hit by the firearms of the Dazhong Army's various phalanxes. It can almost be said that these fierce Mongolian Tarts didn't have the strength to fight back at all, so they were eaten a large number of them at once. The remaining Mongolian Tarts were panicked like bereaved dogs and fled back with their tails.
If this was the words of the Ming army in the past, Wu Xiang couldn't even think about it. However, after Xiao Tianjian came today, he personally led the troops under the gate, showing a new method of warfare for him and many old troops of the Ming Army, which made them all amazed.
Originally, they thought that this time Xiao Tianjian led the army to fight, the battle would definitely be very hard and tragic, but they didn't expect that just at noon, Jiannu and the Tahzi rolled up the flag and began to retreat.
"Is this a victory?" Wu Xiang couldn't believe her eyes and turned her head to look at the subordinates who followed him to watch the battle in the city.
"I won! We won! Great victory! Haha! Jiannu is going to run away with his tail between his legs! Haha! ..." The soldiers who stood on the tower and watched the battle were all overjoyed and couldn't help laughing and cheering.
"Wu Junmen, there is an imperial decree to order you temporarily guard the Shanhaiguan, and the army will go to pursue the Jiannu army!" At this time, a messenger of the middle army suddenly pointed to the position of the middle army under the city and said to Wu Xiang.
Wu Xiang looked down and really saw the position of the Chinese army where Xiao Tianjian was. At this time, the flag was flying. He couldn't understand the meaning of the flag of the Dazhong Army, but the messengers who stayed in the city could understand it, so he immediately replied, "I will reply to the emperor, and the last general will get the order!" Please rest assured!"
