Chapter 125 The Battle of the Daliao River

"Lord Belle, we are surrounded by the Liao army, what should we do now?" Niu Lu, the golden soldier, asked his leader Du Du in fear.

"Don't panic..." Du Du held back his trembling body. He secretly warned himself not to fall down at this time. He is the backbone of the surrounded army. If even he can't hold on, then It's game over.

"There is an old saying in Chinese called 'a strong man breaks his wrist'. You Niulu are responsible for holding back the enemies on the front and left side, and the other three Niulu followed me to break out to the right." Du Du said.

"Isn't this making Niu Lu sacrifice us?!" Niu Lu, who was arranged to cover the main force, said anxiously.

"For the fortune of our Dajin Kingdom, you should be prepared to sacrifice." Du Du said coldly.

bang -- bang -- bang --

The rapid drumbeat sounded, and the dismounted dragoons approached the golden soldiers in the encirclement in an orderly manner with their muskets pointed.This team of dragoons is the elite infantry trained by Chu Yun. With the maneuverability of their horses, they can quickly reach the battlefield and calmly carry out interspersed and roundabout operations behind the enemy.

"Stop advancing!" As the drum beats faded away, Jin Bing had already entered the shooting range of the Dragoons.

"Kill it out!"

Seeing that the Liao army was getting closer and closer, it was the Jin soldiers who were forced to attack first.A Niulu force of about 300 people who acted as cannon fodder was divided into two groups, and under the urging of Du Du, they desperately charged the surrounding Ming army, and they didn't even have time to adjust their formation.

"Fire!" The dragoons on the front and left opened fire in unison, and the dazzling flames spewed out from the muzzles, and disappeared in a flash!
A golden soldier wielding a broadsword only felt a sharp pain in his chest, and his body fell to the ground in disobedience.Jin Bing, who followed behind him, avoided his dead companion in a panic, and stepped over from the side.They had no idea when stray bullets would fly over and kill them, so they could only silently beg the shaman god to bless them in their hearts.

"It's your Niulu's turn!" Du Du urged another Niulu's troops to attack the right wing that broke through this time, and he himself followed behind with two Niulu's troops.

"The direction of the Jin people's breakthrough is the right wing, and the reserve team will follow me to stop them!" Sun Sheng drew out his saber and returned to his horseback.

"Yes!" The reserve team of about 100 people around Sun Sheng mounted their horses one after another and headed to the right wing where the golden soldiers are most dense!

This is the terrible thing about dragoons, they can quickly reach every corner of the battlefield on horseback!
Even though the Dragoon Battalion did not carry heavy weapons such as artillery, the mere smoke from the muskets had already shattered the west bank of the Daliao River.One by one, the Jin soldiers were shot to death during the breakout process, especially Niu Lu, who was acting as cannon fodder. When they rushed in front of the Liao army, almost half of them fell to the ground, and their corpses were strewn across the field.

"Bayonet charge!" When the golden soldiers approached, rows of musketeers put bayonets on the musketeers, and cooperated with the soldiers on the left and right to charge forward with spears about 1.5 meters in length!

"No!" Jin Bing, who came to the front of the Liao army, was horrified to find that he couldn't use his sword!The muskets of the Fu Liao army were longer than the swords of their Jin men, and the line of dense bayonets approached like a wall of iron swords, trying to stab them all to death!And the golden man's broadsword can only chop, it is difficult to cut to face the Musketeers who are coming straight through!
With just one face-to-face meeting, Niu Lu, who was acting as cannon fodder, was smashed to pieces by the knife-wielding assaults of the front and left dragoons, and was forced to flee to the back.

"These golden soldiers were fierce in the past, and now it's time for them to receive retribution. Let's drive them into the river together!" The dragoon commander chased after the victory!
After Niu Lu, who was acting as cannon fodder, was quickly defeated, the encirclement encircled by the Fuliao army narrowed instead, and the dragoons on the front and left gradually moved closer to the right, increasing the pressure on Du Du, who hadn't broken out of the encirclement for a while.

Lost too fast!Du Du was horrified to find that Niu Lu who was covering him was beaten to the ground by the Liao army in a single charge, and finally personally experienced the tremendous pressure of the defenders at Niuzhuang Station.What's more, the three Niulu I brought with me raided the right wing of the Liao army with superior force, but they were also caught in the bayonet formation of the Liao army.Now that the Liao army on the front and the left are encircling again, no matter how you look at it, you look like you are fighting a trapped beast.

On the high ground on the outer edge of Niuzhuang Station, Grand Duke Karl watched with satisfaction the flags of the Fuliao Army fluttering over a series of important places on the left side of Niuzhuang Station.

"I didn't expect the fighting power of the Eight Banners soldiers to be extra tenacious. This is their third counterattack, right?" Grand Duke Karl put down the binoculars.

"The general remembers correctly. This is indeed their third counterattack. The First Infantry Battalion briefly counted the losses. About 200 people were killed or injured." Said a young staff officer following Archduke Karl.

"Chen Wu, you arrange a few people to go and recruit the trapped Jin soldiers. If they give up their resistance, they can be spared the death penalty. After serving three years in prison, they will forget the past. If they continue to resist, they will all be shot after breaking through the Niuzhuang Post." Archduke Karl told the young staff officer exhorted.

"I'll arrange my own soldiers to persuade them to surrender." Chen Wu responded.

Chen Wu is also a student of the first phase of the Army Academy, and he is also a confidant in the Chuyun Guard.He was arranged by Chu Yun to study with Grand Duke Karl, not without the intention of training, and he wanted to make more outstanding commander-in-chief talents appear in the Liao army.

"Why did the artillery of the Liao army on the opposite side stop firing?"

"The infantry attacking from the left seems to have stopped attacking."

The elite soldiers of the Eight Banners trapped in the center of Niuzhuang Station and other directions found that the fierce offensive of the Liao army had come to a slow stop.

"Has our reinforcements arrived?"

Responsible for the defense of Jialaer, I really want to go to the high ground of Niuzhuang Post to see if there are reinforcements sent by Du Du in the distance.

"Be careful, General, the artillery of the Fuliao Army likes to bomb high places!" The Eight Banners soldiers who were frightened by the artillery carefully reminded their Jiala Ezhen.

Jia Laerzhen looked out of Niuzhuang Station, but to his disappointment, there were no flags of the Eight Banners outside Niuzhuang Station.

"The brothers organized several offensives, trying to regain the position on the left, but they all failed. I saw that the Fuliao Army seemed to want to transport the artillery outside to the left side of Niuzhuang Station. By then, the artillery could cover any corner of us. .” An adjutant stood next to Jiala Ezhen worried.

"Why haven't the reinforcements arrived yet? Our losses have almost reached [-]%." Jia La Ezhen frowned and smiled wryly.

At this time, a gold soldier who came down from the front line ran over in a hurry: "Report, the Fu Liao Army sent envoys to persuade them to surrender. Will the general receive them?"

"Let them come over." Jia La was really helpless.
