"Tang Zongbing from Miyun Town led more than a thousand cavalry to escape!"

"The former Tunwei Wang courtier Wang Zongbing died in battle!"

"Jizhen soldiers were bitten by two yellow flag soldiers!"

One piece of bad news was sent to Hong Chengchou by sentry riders, asking the supervisor to make a decision.

In front of Hong Chengchou, there are actually only two choices. One, regardless of the former army and vanguard, lead the troops of Ma Ke and Cao Bianjiao to return to Guangning City to defend and wait for help.As long as his supervisor is still there, the battle in Liaodong will not be over, and the court will urge Wu Sangui in Ningyuan and Li Shouhan in Tianjin to continue fighting in Liaodong.Second, order Ma Ke and Cao Bianjiao to form an formation on the spot to meet Bai Guangen's troops in Ji Town, and then try others.

However, it is easy to say, a large number of vehicles blocked the road to Guangning and back to the city, and those 32-pound guns, the general Dingliao named by the emperor, even blocked the city gate tightly.

"Form the formation! Send an order to General Ma Koma and General Xiao Cao to form an formation on the spot to meet General Bai!"

The former Tunwei had already been divided into fragments under the strong attack and rush of the heavy armored soldiers of the Qing army, and a group of heavy cavalry rushed in from the gap.They kept outflanking, splitting, tearing, driving, and disrupting the Ming army's organizational system and command system, turning each Ming army camp into several individuals.It made the Ming army feel that their troops were everywhere, and that all their troops had already been breached and could not be defended.

Under the fear, the rout soldiers panicked and did not choose their way. Most of them followed the flow of people and rushed to the rear of the large formation driven by the Qing soldiers.Many people crowded together, were pushed down, trampled to death, or fought for the living space.Fight each other.

Wang Tingchen was killed by a stray arrow in such a chaotic army.As soon as he died, the front guards and horses became more and more chaotic. Originally, his hundreds of family members were still an effective core, and they continued to organize small-scale counterattacks, driving out the heavy armored cavalry of the Qing army who rushed in, and at the same time gathering the defeated troops.Try to restore the establishment.As soon as Wang Tingchen died, the hearts of the servants also fell apart, and they panicked immediately, with a bang, like a flood breaking a dam, these servants who were originally the core of the former guards also collapsed, forming a greater torrent of defeat , running wildly on the boundless western Liaoning plain.

Letting Tang Tong go, Huang Taiji is just missing one of the three.It makes the morale of the Ming army even less fighting!How could he let Tang Tong's soldiers escape?Immediately, I saw nearly ten thousand people under Tang Tong's troops scattered in the open field, the flags were left on the ground, and the luggage was abandoned.At this time, if we don't go to clean up the remnant soldiers and seize the supplies, when will we wait?

"Hauge!"

"My son is here!"

"Take your Zhenglan Banner Manchuria, and I will transfer the two Mongolian and Eight Banners under your command to deal with the remnants of the Miyun Army of the Ming Dynasty! Remember. Capture as many people as possible and kill as few as possible!"

Months of fighting are over.The generals and princes of the Eight Banners all learned a trick from Dorgon, that is to capture the Ming army as much as possible, and then expand their own strength within the banner.Huang Taiji is no exception.

"Oboi! Tulai!"

The two outstanding members of the second generation of the Guerjia family were the ones that Huang Taiji valued very much at this time, and those who could not be tempted by Dorgon's official titles and servants were the ones themselves. Very good at fighting.How not to cultivate well?

"The slave is here!" The two young heroes of the Guerjia family saluted together, waiting for the emperor to send them.

"You two slaves are now the two yellow flags of Baya Latuzhangjing. Some people say that I am partial to you. You take people down now, and I will favor you! Clean up the courtiers of the Ming army. All the troops!"

With the help of several soldiers, Oboi, who had not recovered his legs and feet, got on his horse, swung an epee that weighed tens of kilograms in his hand, roared wildly, and led thousands of heavy armored cavalry with yellow flags to rush out of the camp. Go straight to the place where the soldiers and horses of the front guards of Wang Tingchen's troops collapsed.

A torrent of yellow iron armor had just rushed down the hill, before it receded from the retinas of people's eyes, another military order came from Huang Taiji's mouth.

"Where is King Gongsun?"

Following a call, the leader of King Sanshun among the Han army flags, respectful to King Kong Youde, came out from the crowd, tidied up his clothes a little, and bowed respectfully, "Your servant joins the emperor!"

"King Gongshun, your army has always been famous for its firearms. I will send you to deal with this man today!" Huang Taiji pointed at the whip, but it was the army formation of Bai Guangen, the chief soldier of Ji Town.

There are about 1 people under Bai Guangen. Because they are a little far away from the Qing army, as the officers shouted commands, these troops gradually formed two formations, one large, two small, and guarded the food and grass in the formation. He mobilized artillery to the front of the formation, trying to use artillery as the main force to form an offensive and defensive formation. After repelling the Qing army's attack, they retreated back to Guangning City.

"Your obedience! This slave will use artillery against artillery to blast away Bai Guangen's army formation. Look at how inferior these Jizhen soldiers are compared to the soldiers and horses trained by Grandpa Qi back then!"

Relying on the loss of cattle and horses ignoring the towed artillery, and replacing one of them when they were exhausted, Kong Youde's Wuzhenchaoha Artillery Battalion, under the escort of more than a thousand white armored soldiers led by Turge, walked along the edge of the battlefield and crossed the crazy Captured the scattered prisoners of the Ming army, and robbed the front guard positions of various vehicles, grain, grass and artillery. Soon, dozens of artillery pieces of various sizes appeared in front of the soldiers and horses in Jizhen.

Bai Guangen's Jizhen soldiers were organized at about 4000 people. After removing the vacancies, there were 3000 soldiers left behind in Liaodong. Although everyone was besieged in Guangning City these days, it was not a big battle. There are many, so there are still [-] people who know about Bai Guangen's troops.

According to the traditional tactics of the Ming army, Bai Guangen lined up the chariots and artillery in his battalion in front of the formation. The artillery was placed in the gaps between the chariots, and the black hole muzzles stared at the roaring flood in the distance. Qing army!

"It's okay! They're all traitors!" Looking at the banner, Bai Guangen breathed a sigh of relief.Those who came were all the Han army flags, and the combat effectiveness of the Han army flags was comparable to that of the Ming army.

Not only is the combat effectiveness far inferior to the Manchuria of the Eight Banners, but the soldiers and horses of the Han Army Banner are also far inferior to the Manchuria of the Eight Banners in terms of organization and equipment.Although the banners and costumes are not different from the Manchurian army, the number of soldiers and the proportion of armored soldiers are far inferior to those of the Eight Banners Manchuria, who are also armored soldiers.The armor of the Han army flag is also mainly made of cotton armor, and the cotton armor of many people is not the kind of iron-inlaid cotton armor with embedded iron leaves, but ordinary cotton armor, similar to a big cotton jacket.

"Let's stay here and kill these two Tartars. Then go back to Guangning City and stand by for help!" Bai Guangen yelled and ordered his subordinates to prepare for battle.

Kong Youde narrowed his eyes, picked up the binoculars given to him by Huang Taiji, and carefully looked at Bai Guangen's army formation on the opposite side, which was a very traditional triple formation.The wagon battalion and artillery are in front, the cavalry guards the wings and rear, and the infantry is arrayed behind the wagon battalion and artillery.

"That servant Chen Banda built so many cannons for the emperor, not to mention the fact that they were able to hit them far. The cost is much lower than when I was in Dengzhou! Today, let's tell the group of smart dogs on the opposite side, how did they fight in the field? Use cannons! Don’t think it’s a big deal to have a few cannons on the top of the city!”

Kong Youde grinned ferociously with muscular muscles on his rude face. He looked at the artillery team and saw that it had been loaded, so he waved the command flag in his hand and let out a hoarse and rough roar, "Fire the artillery!"

The artillery positions trembled.There was a deafening sound of cannons, and 25 of them are now slaves under Manchurian Zhenghuang.Chen Banda, who has half a future and an official position in Angbang Zhangjing, roared in unison with the twelve-pound cannon made by the double-layer casting method, and the muzzle spewed thick white smoke forward. The thick figures of the various artillery pieces condensed into clouds of smoke over the artillery positions.

Twenty-five rounds of cannon weighing more than ten catties roared and flew towards the Ming army formation beyond Lixu!

In bursts of sharp roar.Heavy iron balls whizzed over and smashed hard on the ground in early spring, splashing clouds of mud and smoke, shells whizzing by, and shells falling beside them.The gunners of the Ming army in the gap between the front ranks of the Jizhen army were so frightened that they were all sweating profusely.

Fortunately, Kong Youde followed Huang Taiji's will, and deliberately did not aim the artillery carefully, aiming to frighten the Ming army, which was originally a frightened bird!Therefore, the accuracy of the shells was extremely low, and most of the shells were knocked down and jumped into the air, rolling and jumping around in the Ming army's position.However, there was still a [-]-pounder shell. After smashing a chariot, this fiery big iron ball flew obliquely to one side and rushed straight at a door with seven or eight gunners. The six-pounder being handled.

Seeing the cannonballs coming, the gunners of the Ming army next to the cannon let out a ghostly cry and dispersed. Behind the cannon, several Ming army drivers who were watching the scene with whips in their hands also turned around and ran away.

The fiery iron ball spun and hit the artillery emplacement.

Smoke rose, there was a constant rumbling sound, and the sound of gunpowder explosion was loud. This heavy iron ball hit the firing powder kegs piled up next to the gun emplacement so that it could not die!Immediately triggered a sacrificial explosion!The huge explosion blasted out the shells of the six-pound guns one after another, knocking down many soldiers and horses behind the surrounding chariots!The screams were mixed with bursts of blood mist.

There was a sudden chaos in the Ming army formation!

"Okay! The servants fought well! Let's fight like this! Let's fight again!" Kong Youde couldn't close his mouth with a big smile on his mount, he just danced and waved his whip to order his gunners to continue shooting!

There was another thick puff of gunpowder smoke, and then dozens of huge solid shells whizzed over.In this round of shooting, the artillery of the Qing army lowered the muzzle of the artillery and fired almost directly. The targets were the chariots and artillery lying in front of the Ming army. There is no need to worry about obstacles when you have good contacts.

The rumbling cannon sounded, and waves of shells fell around the chariot and the artillery. They either shot empty, and bounced without hitting the men and horses.Or directly hit and hit the chariots of Jizhen soldiers, smashing those chariots into pieces, and flying sharp wooden thorns.Let the gunner who was hit behind him roll and howl.

Some artillery shells fell into the position of the musketeers arranged slightly behind, or the cold weapon position of the Jizhen Reinforcement Battalion, Ranger Battalion, and Raider Battalion, running and jumping on the dry and hard ground in spring.Bringing up bursts of blood mist from stumps.For a while, there were cries and howls, and the forward camp of the Ming army was in chaos.

Seeing their miserable appearance, the soldiers and horses of the main barracks in Ji Town, spread out on the hills, were also in a commotion, many people had ashen faces, and the Tartar artillery was too fierce.

The Liao thieves were also well versed in human psychology. Kong Youde's artillery field was filled with screams, and another batch of shells made a terrifying scream.Lase over.

This wave of artillery shells was even more violent, because the Liao thieves used shotgun shells in order to create greater fear and panic!

Chestnut-sized shotguns were fired by dozens of cannons, and hundreds of cannons in the air interweaved and flew towards them in a dense net.That is, the power of the cannons varies from big to small, and their ranges range from front to back, but most of them are fired into the formation of the Ming army.Countless solid iron balls hit the head and face, shooting, bombing, rolling, jumping, and smashing randomly. From time to time, chariots and soldiers were poisoned, and blood and debris were flying everywhere.

The Ming army lined up behind the vanguard chariots were already crying for their parents and mothers at the place where the guns fell.The soldiers ran around, and the army formation on the side was also unstable.

In fact, although the artillery of the Qing army is powerful, the distance is there. The effective killing distance of firing solid bullets and firing shotgun bullets is different.Shotguns have a much shorter effective distance.Therefore, this round of shotgun shooting did not actually cause much damage to the soldiers and horses of Ji Town.

Because there are more than 1 horses, and a large number of chariots and artillery, the entire army formation of Ji Town.It is several miles from east to west.The small formations between the battalions are still separated by open spaces.Just this era.Artillery is an irresistible force, especially when you just stand as a target, and you can't fight back just by being hit, the horror is magnified countless times.

Especially the misery of others.is contagious.A turmoil in the army will affect countless people nearby, especially when the soldiers cannot strictly observe discipline and their combat strength is not sharp.

And obviously, the experience of the Ming army being bombarded.It is far less powerful than their ability to turn thousands of miles, and their immunity is even lower when facing artillery fire.

After the cessation of this round of artillery fire, the formation of soldiers and horses in Jizhen had faintly shown signs of collapse. In each army formation, those officers, such as generals, guerrillas, and garrison officers, were all struggling to shout at their soldiers and horses, trying to Restrain them so that the soldiers and horses do not break up.

In the era of cold weapons, if the infantry does not form an army formation, how can it be the opponent of the cavalry?Especially facing Liao thieves who are good at riding and shooting?Even Napoleon, the gun king back then, had to order his subordinates to maintain formation and discipline in order to deal with the Egyptian Mamluk cavalry.If the formation of the Ming army was disordered and the army became a group of stragglers, it would undoubtedly be a dead end to fight against the cavalry of the Liaodong rebels on the Liaoxi Plain.

But, will Turge, Kong Youde and others give Bai Guangen time to reorganize the army?

"My lord Turg, the king here ordered the servants to go up and shoot a round of firecrackers. After a round of volleys, your cavalry rushed up and tore open the formation of the Ming dogs. Let's press up together! Fight a round hunting!"

The son-in-law of the wild boar skin, the forehead inlaid with white banners and Gushan Ezhenniu Hulu Turg, has been holding back his anger these days, and followed Rao Yubeile Abatay to the inland to plunder, but was almost beaten back by the bandits. If you don't come, the slaves brought into the pass will be lost.Fortunately, the emperor didn't care about it, and rewarded him as a military servant and granted him an official position. How could such kindness not make him feel grateful?

At the moment Turge urged the heavy armored cavalrymen under his command to dismount and change their mounts together, without mentioning their knives and guns. On the other side, Kong Youde waved the command flag, and more than [-] musketeers ran in front of the artillery team and formed a firing formation.

The firecrackers are carefully crafted by Mr. Chen Banda according to the style of the captured Nanzhong firecrackers. Although the nine-turn steel has not been imitated until now, the barrels can only be made of high-quality refined iron. Compared with the original The original Nanzhong fire gun comes, and the whole gun body is a lot heavier.However, the same flintlock head and the same spring made Kong Youde very satisfied with the shooting effect.

"Nanman's gunpowder was imitated by Chen Banda's servant. Today, I will use Nanman's gunpowder and Nanman's gunpowder to treat you, the chief soldier of Ji Town!"

Kong Youde swung the command flag in his hand downwards, and the firecrackers with the flag of the Han army arranged in three rows pulled the triggers in their hands, and fired a volley in unison. White smoke rose, and the dense bullets quickly flew towards the already chaotic Ming army camp on the opposite side!

Regardless of observing the damage caused by this round of firecrackers to his camp, Jizhen, which was beaten into a mess by the firecrackers, completely lost the style of Qi Jiguang's era. With a shout, the vanguard's car camp and artillery team lost Get off the chariot and artillery and run around. I have already realized that I also have artillery and firecrackers. My own firearms are far better than these Liao thieves on the opposite side!

However, even if Qi Jiguang jumped out of the ground now, he would be swept away by the wave of the forward's defeat.The defeated soldiers and horses were like piping on the levee, quickly destroying the already not very strong line of defense!

"Ha! The fire is enough! Baturu, follow me and rush up!"

With a tiger roar from Turge, like a flood bursting a bank, thousands of Manchurian cavalry, with thunderous hooves and cloud-like flags, rushed towards Bai Guangen's formation!

Smoke billowed, people shouted and neighed, and many Liao thieves rushed over on heavy horses.

These heavy armored cavalry, like a team of tanks, rushed to the formation of the car camp with a bang!Or overturn the chariot, or crash the chariot, or jump up from the artillery, and break into the camp!

Immediately, in the Jizhen army, the gunners and musketeers screamed and fled backwards.

They left their backs to the cavalrymen who rushed to kill them, and they were knocked to the ground by fierce horses. They were chopped to the ground by heavy armored cavalry with eight-banner spears, tiger-toothed knives, and birch sickles.

Some people wanted to stop and resist, but the people around them were fleeing, and seeing the Tartar heavy cavalry outflanking them, and the Qing cavalry riding and shooting outside, they had no choice but to flee with them in fear.

Wave after wave of heavy armored cavalry rushed in from the gap. They kept outflanking, dividing, tearing, and driving away, making the Ming army feel that their troops were everywhere, and that all parts of the Jizhen position had been breached. Undefendable.

Under the fear, the rout soldiers panicked and did not choose their way. Most of them followed the flow of people and rushed to the rear of the large formation driven by the Qing soldiers.Many people crowded together, were pushed down, trampled to death, or fought and killed each other in order to win the living space.

The elite cavalry of the Liao thieves, like the shadows of devils, kept passing by them, shooting sharp arrows, throwing javelins, and throwing flying swords and broadswords, killing the most powerful among them.

Then these heavy armored cavalry turned their horses' heads and charged head-on again, knocking them to the ground, trampling them down with their horseshoes, and using their scimitars and spears, they chopped down and stabbed them to death one by one.

The Qing cavalry continued to pass through and outflank, so that these rout soldiers could not form a systematic resistance. The rout soldiers had nothing to do but flee like collapsing.

Some generals and officers in Ji Town still want to gather the defeated troops and reorganize the front.

However, those Qing cavalry were the best at outflanking. They directly passed the large group of routs and reached beyond the crowd that might resist.

"The descendant will not die!"

"Whoever descends shall be spared death!"

Seeing that the collapse of Ji Town was a foregone conclusion, Turge remembered that the emperor had told him to kill less and capture more.

Immediately, hundreds of thousands of discarded weapons knelt down and surrendered. (To be continued..)
