The Soul of the Han Dynasty in the Late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 356 Defeat
Hong Xie emphasized loudly: "My dear friends, please remember that after three rounds of shelling, the whole army will attack. I have never doubted that our army will not be able to defeat the Ming army in front of me. I am just worried that too many Ming cavalry will flee due to insufficient action. "

Wunage, Burgadu, Manzhu Xili, Ukeshan and other Mongolian Taiji or generals immediately went out to salute: "Khan, please rest assured, we will definitely entangle the Ming cavalry and destroy them."

Tonight, the Ming army camp is full of joy and laughter, because the Ming army has not defeated Jiannu for a long time and won the victory. Today Jiannu was defeated and the Ming army got a chance to clean up the battlefield. Gaining nearly [-] levels is enough to make them rejoice.

Many experienced generals from Liao Town Xi Zizi have seen the gains with their own eyes. The two thousand ranks are all elites with two blue flags and two white flags. Each rank has matching armor and waist badges.

Such a great achievement should be the first since the Liao Dynasty. According to the report of the residence, although the "Red Banner Army" won three or four thousand soldiers, there were less than one thousand soldiers, and less than half of them were young and strong. They were not fighting against the elite slaves.

Zhang Chun and all the generals believed that the strategy of squeezing the plate was effective. If it was pushed flat again at dawn, it would be possible to penetrate the Jiannu camp and kill under the city of Dalinghe.

All the generals were very sorry, for some reason there was no movement in the direction of Dalinghe City, if Zu Dashou led the troops to attack at this time, the two armies would have joined forces long ago.

Less than five miles south of the city of Daling River, near the Jianshou camp, there were gunshots and cannons fired for six or seven hours in a mess. Zu Dashou had already heard the news, and he also felt that the movement this time was bigger than the previous few times. much.

But once bitten by a snake for ten years and afraid of well ropes, the Guan Ning army in Dalinghe City had already lost their fighting spirit. They left the city in high spirits more than ten days ago, and lost a third of their robes in the first battle. The psychological shadow is still lingering.

Zu Dashou did the same thing, he could only look at the dejected soldiers and sigh. He chose to continue waiting for the only chance to win when he lost the whole army's surprise attack on Jiannu's back.

Just when Zhang Chun, who was in high spirits, stayed up all night to plan tomorrow's tactics, the general on duty at night came to report that the fog was thick and gradually he couldn't tell the direction.

The weather cannot be controlled by manpower, so Zhang Chun had to issue an order for the whole army to stick to the formation. When the fog cleared, it was the time for the main attack.

Before dawn, just after the fourth watch, the earth suddenly vibrated, and the sound of rumbling artillery woke up the Ming army soldiers who were sleeping in their clothes.

Zhang Chun, who hadn't slept all night, immediately ran out of the big tent and asked, "Who fired the cannon without authorization? Didn't the attack time be delayed until after the fog cleared?"

"My lord, it is not our army that is firing cannons, but Jiannu is shelling our camp."

Was bombarded by Jiannu?Zhang Chun was shocked, and he quickly said: "Everyone, don't panic, convey the order of the official and organize the two camps to cover and retreat alternately, and get out of the range of Jiannu shelling as soon as possible."

Zhang Chun's response was correct, no matter what the situation was, he would leave the environment where he was shelled by the enemy before making any calculations.However, the Ming army, which had always fired cannons against Jiannu, was hit by Jiannu's cannons, which had a great impact on morale. Coupled with blurred vision, the Ming army camp was already in chaos.

Jiannu's artillery fired three rounds, and more than 100 iron balls shot into the Ming army's camp. In fact, there were not many chariots destroyed, only a few dozen, and not many Ming soldiers were killed or injured. 300 people, the loss is insignificant for the Ming army with [-] troops.

But analyzing the battle situation is not a comparison of numbers. Sometimes it is not easy to fight [-] pigs, but it is much easier to fight [-] troops who have no fighting spirit.

The camp surrounded by chariots was blasted open a gap, and the Ming army's vision was blurred and could not accurately fill the gap. The shouts of the Jin army and the sound of rumbling horseshoes came from far to near, and the situation of the Ming army was not good.

Soon a chaotic battle began. The Ming army suffered from relying too much on fire-resistant weapons. The protective power of armor and the combat effectiveness of using cold weapons were not as good as those of Jiannu. All killed and wounded.

The chaotic battle lasted until noon, and the sun rose high to dispel the fog. If the fog is still thick at this moment, it may be beneficial to the Ming army, which is almost unable to hold on.

Often the Ming army was so unlucky that they lost the element of war at the critical moment when they needed God’s help. The Ming army was silent because they were hacked into the camp by Jiannu, and there was still a little morale. Geography, people and all accounted for.

The fog cleared, and the Jiannu cavalry could finally let go of their horses and charge with all their strength, and they could calmly shoot anyone who appeared within fifty paces, and the Ming army's casualties doubled even more.

Zhang Chun led the Chinese army guards to form a circle with chariots to accept the rout. Seeing that the situation was over, Wu Xiang and Song Wei refused to accompany Bing Beidao to die, so they ran away with their troops.

At this time, a little incident happened to the Jin army. At the end of the second year of Chongzhen, when Jiannu killed Daming Dongping Hou Mangui under the capital city, Hei Yunlong, a general who was captured, yearned for Daming. A bannerman snatched two horses and fled.

At this time, the Houjin army ignored the escaped Hei Yunlong, but publicized the news that Wu and Song, the two commanders-in-chief, ran away with their troops. At this time, the Houjin army could already predict that victory was in sight. In this state, the Ming army lost its armor and armor.

The Ming army also yelled that Wu and Song generals ran away with the cavalry, and it was spread at the same time as Jiannu. This news was learned by most of the Ming army, and it once again dealt a heavy blow to the morale of the Ming army that was still resisting. Next, after the Jin army persuaded them to surrender, many Ming troops began to put down their weapons.

The soldiers who Jiannu won the surrender of the Ming army will of course take advantage of these people. Often the first to surrender are scumbags, cowards who are ungrateful for profit. They immediately started shouting and persuading them to surrender in order to get preferential treatment from the later Jin army, and they are still fighting for the country. Paozawa put down his weapon.

His own people are persuading him to surrender, explaining loudly that the master of the Dajin Kingdom vowed to treat the surrendered soldiers generously, and Amin Dabeile, who once wantonly massacred the surrendered officials and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, has been dismissed from office and locked up. Ming army, Da Khan will kill him to pay for his life.

The situation at this time is obvious. The desperate resistance of the Ming army is only to prove their indomitableness. It is impossible to reverse the state of defeat. Kneeling down with the weapon in hand.

Zhang Chun did not surrender, and he did not surrender in history.

But is it meaningful to demonstrate whether he voluntarily gave up resistance?Why was he arrested by Jiannu with all his beard and tail?If he fought endlessly, would it be so easy to be caught as a living person?
