Chapter 901: Cold Wind, Rapid Blood Casting Heroic Soul (23)
The low sound of the ox horn echoed in the clear sky. The red morning glow in the early morning indicates the bloody color of the battlefield. The terrifying sound of cannons exploded in the shield formation of Wuzhenchao Ha Camp. In the white smoke, orange and red poisonous flowers bloomed dozens of feet away to form dust pillars that devoured life. For this shelling, the soldiers who were prepared for the Tianxiong Camp were hiding behind the guard wall and the soldiers were climbing on the ground one after another. The thick lower end of the guard wall could effectively resist the invasion of iron live ammunition. The live ammunition of Wuzhenchao Ha Camp guns carried huge kinetic energy, like an invisible giant foot kicked the guard wall down one after another. The soldiers of Tianxiong Camp hiding under the guard wall were flooded by the earth pillars raised by the live ammunition.
The shallow buried soldiers crawled out, and they quickly pulled out their brothers buried deep in the soil. The Tianxiong Camp soldiers hurriedly searched for the falling mud in the soil before they could clean up the slag on their bodies. However, many mud guns were blocked by mud, and the Tianxiong Camp mud gun soldiers could not be cleaned up in a short time. This also caused the sound of the first line of defense of Tianxiong Camp mud guns to appear sparse, and the power of the Tianxiong Camp mud guns was greatly reduced, which also caused the Wuzhen Chaoha camp war soldiers who were attacking today to rush across the battlefield and came to the trench in a very short time. This time, the Jurchen archers did not even have the chance to shoot archers. They optimistically waited for the officers to issue orders, and more than 700 cavalrymen in Zhenglan Banners were in a scattered formation to carry their horses and slowly entered the battlefield.
The soldiers of Wuzhenchao Ha Camp, who had the advantage in numbers, once again attacked the first guardrail defense line on the northwest of Tianxiong Camp. The rear of the Qing army formation sounded again and the thunder and motivated the ground war drum. The sound of the ox horn on the entire line made the soldiers of Wuzhenchao Ha Camp on the front line have high morale. With the emergence of hand-to-hand combat, the guardrail wall of Tianxiong Camp was rushed out of a large gap of fifty feet wide by the enemy. Nearly five thousand Wuzhenchao Ha Camp soldiers entered the gap, and they encountered the resolute resistance of Tianxiong Camp here. More than a thousand Wuzhenchao Ha Camp soldiers carried wooden boards and squeezed behind their companions in front. After the soldiers in front defeated the soldiers in Tianxiong Camp, they were ready to attack in depth. Due to the short time of construction of fortifications, the second guardrail wall of Tianxiong Camp was far less than the first guardrail wall. The close-range muskets of both sides did not take much advantage of shooting Tianxiong Camp.
When the gap in the northwest formed a protruding part on the local battlefield, Lu Xiangsheng, who was commanding on the hill, waited for the fighter again. This fighter was the favorite tactic of the Slave Army, encircling and annihilated the enemies of the protruding part. This time, Lu Xiangsheng had long seen the Zhenglan Banner cavalry attacking by scattered soldiers. He issued a speech to Qian Zong Gu Wendong and Qu Dasheng to attack the enemy with muskets. Although the number of civil war soldiers in Wuzhenchao Ha Battalion attacked the defense line was advantageous, the advantage of long-range shooting of Tianxiong Camp fired offset the favorable situation of the enemy's number. The neat and distinctive platoon gun shooting caused the soldiers in Wuzhenchao Ha Battalion to attack the defense line was peeled off layer by layer. The battlefield was filled with the sound of muskets and the sound of killing, the wounded soldiers on both sides shouted in pain, and the blood mist caused by the lead bullets could be seen everywhere on the fronts of both sides.
The Zhenglan Banner cavalry who were preparing to join the battlefield outside the guard wall were also hesitating whether to fill in the bloody stone mill. Every time the sound of the muskets sounded, the Jurchen veterans would numb their scalp. If the Jurchen cavalry was confident to compete with the cavalry of Tianxiong Camp, they did not have the courage to fight the lead bullets fired by the muskets. After all, they had learned too deeply that the rain of bullets formed by the muskets was the eternal nightmare of the Jurchen cavalry. Dorgon, who was watching the formation from a distance, ignored the soon-to-be defeated Wuzhenchao Ha camp soldiers. He gritted his teeth and issued an order to attack the entire line. Now, the Han flag infantry in the north, west and south learned the tactics of the Wuzhenchao Ha camp soldiers and used the collected wooden boards to pave the ground to the outer positions of Tianxiong Camp.
Now, the Tianxiong Camp, which was short of troops, could not bear it anymore. Lu Xiangsheng, who was commanding on the high ground, watched with regret as the protruding troops who were about to encircle, issued an order to evacuate the front line. The soldiers of Tianxiong Camp who received the order to retreat while receiving the order. Under the cover of the brothers on the second line of defense, they retracted the tentacles of the red octopus to various guardrails. Before they could breathe a sigh of relief, the soldiers of the Wuzhenchao Ha Camp were attacked and attacked by the Tianxiong Camp musket soldiers from behind the second crescent wall and the third wall. Belled Dorgon, who was watching the formation from the chariot, saw that the Han flag infantry who were hiding into the first defense line of Tianxiong Camp like an ant, filled the open space between the two defense lines of Tianxiong Camp in a very short time.
The soldiers who were attacking forward were clearly shouting and killing the sky on the attacking formations that were several miles wide. The battlefield was filled with the sound of muskets shooting at both sides and the painful wails of the injured officers and soldiers. Dorgon's eyes were full of charge waves of Han flag soldiers. Many injured Han flag soldiers evacuated from the battlefield with the help of his companions, and the soldiers who helped him were torn apart by fierce lead bullets and their backs appeared on their chests. Similarly, many soldiers in Tianxiong Camp were killed or injured, and Dorgon could clearly see the blood marks left after they evacuated. The Jurchen white flag archers responsible for providing cover for the attack on the Han flag covered the Tianxiong Camp military formation with dense arrows. Many musket soldiers and spearmen in Tianxiong Camp fell to the ground from time to time.
Although Tianxiong Camp suffered heavy casualties, there was still an invisible giant hand that blocked the Qing Han Army Flag soldiers from moving forward twenty feet in front of its second defense line. This invisible giant hand was the rain of bullets shot out clearly at the Tianxiong Camp. The inner wall of Tianxiong Camp was higher than the wall on the second defense line, causing the Tianxiong Camp musket soldiers to gather a large number of musket soldiers here, and rolling white smoke was continuously emitted here, covering bursts of orange flames. The accompanying lead bullets made the Han Army Flag soldiers fall in a pool of blood every time they attacked. The sticky blood gushed out in the cold winter with heat, and gradually formed a thin layer of white mist in front of the low-lying positions under the breeze. As the sky became darker, Dorgon, the combat commander, ordered the attacking army to withdraw from the battlefield, leaving 10,000 soldiers to retreat to the first line of defense built by Tianxiong Camp to monitor the Ming army.
From the heart of Bele Dorgon, he was very satisfied with the Han army flag being able to break through the outer defense line of Tianxiong Camp on the entire front. After all, he saw the power of his opponent Lu Xiangsheng to set up a defensive position. Lu Xiangsheng attacked the Wuzhenchao Ha camp warriors twice on the first line of defense, and each time they used a different method. When Lu Xiangsheng reduced his troops and the entire Qing Dynasty attacked in a stalemate, Dorgon believed that according to the current attack speed, he was sure to take down the Tianxiong Camp position within a few days. What he was worried about was whether other Ming troops would come to rescue Tianxiong Camp. Judging from the detailed reports from Luanyiwei, the Ming army was able to rescue the Tianxiong Camp in the wild, leaving only the army of tens of thousands of people near Jize.
That night, after Dorgon and Dabei Daishan discussed secretly, two cavalry units of more than 60,000 people, Zhenghong Banner and Inlaid Red Banner, quietly rushed to Jize more than 50 miles away with the help of the night. However, fireworks were released again on the Tiantianxiong camp's position in the second update. This time the fireworks were so beautiful, and three huge light columns illuminated the night sky. The fireworks made the entire Qing army camp full of tension. The fireworks were setting off in the Tianxiong camp, and the fireworks were getting bigger and bigger. Everyone was guessing that this should be a signal that Tianxiong camp was asking for help from outside. Fortunately, Dabei Daishan led the army to take the initiative to attack the Ming army dozens of miles away. The Qing Dynasty still had three main cavalry in Jiazhuang, but the Ming army had no strength to shake the Qing main force in Jiazhuang.
The two Red Flag cavalry of the Qing Dynasty who marched overnight arrived in Ji* North in the morning of the next day. The 60,000 Qing cavalry who did not do any rest directly launched an attack on the Ming army. The sound of thunderous horse hooves was mixed with "Tasha!Tasha!...", and tens of thousands of female cavalry spread out a wide formation and rushed straight to the Ming army camp. The Ming army camp, which had been in Jize for more than ten days, did not dig trenches at all. Gao Qiqin, a eggless castrator, did not understand military affairs. Gao Qiqin thought that he led the army to monitor Tianxiong Camp and Jiannu to fight to the death. Once the signs were wrong, it was still too late. Since he had the idea of escaping, Gao Qiqin would naturally not enhance the defense of the camp.
At night, the Ming army still released several teams that were not taken away at night, but even the Shangguan of the Ming army had the idea of escaping at any time. These people would naturally avoid Jurchen scouts when patrolling outside. In fact, the Jurchen scouts were wandering around Jize. They mainly did this to monitor the Ming army. On the other hand, they covered the battlefield and did not allow Jize Ming army to have the opportunity to approach Tianxiong Camp in Jiazhuang. This is also true. After the Ming army did not accept the enemy army at night, the warning time was extremely limited. When the 60,000 Jurchen main force appeared in the gaze of Yewu, the sentry in the Ming army camp had already sounded the alarm bell. "Clang! Clang! Clang!" The continuous alarm bells made the Ming army camp in chaos.
After receiving the news that the enemy's tens of thousands of cavalry were just ten miles away, the first reaction of the eunuch Gao Qiqian was to flee the battlefield with his servants around him. He forgot everything about the arrangement of the rear. When the commander of the first army fled the battlefield first, it was very fatal to attack the entire Ming army's morale. As a result, the 70,000 Ming army was in chaos, and they even pushed down the wooden fences of the camp and ran around. Guanning iron cavalry were all cavalry, and they abandoned all military funds and auxiliary soldiers, grooms, and many cavalry even fled to the military camp without caring their weapons. The sudden defeat of the Ming army caught the two Red Flag cavalry off guard. The commander Da Beile Daishan saw that the situation was getting better, and immediately ordered the entire army to hold a team and chase the escaped Ming army separately.
Contemporary Shan took more than 1,000 Niulu and more than 1,000 people to occupy the Ming army camp. He was almost dizzy by the massive military capital in front of him. Dai Shan's ears were filled with the shouts of Jurchen cavalry chasing the enemy. More than 1,000 people around him captured 6,000 Han auxiliary soldiers in the camp. These captured Ming people were very obedient to accept the Jurchen cavalry's assignment to collect the various military capitals left by the Ming army. Gao Qiqian, an eggless eunuch, led the army to a place where he would go.
