The Rise of Ming Dynasty 1646

Chapter 788 The Last Battle Against Jianlu

Several Jianlu officers wanted to get closer to see what was going on, when they suddenly heard screams from the side, turned their heads and saw more than a dozen cavalrymen were blown away by shells, blood splashed all over the people behind them.

Several people immediately looked at each other in dismay, with the same meaning in their eyes - don't look at it, the flags are blown up to the size of chopsticks, Master Batulu will surely die.

A Chief Qian turned his horse's head and said, "Go back to the central army first, and then regroup!"

"it is good!"

As their military orders came out, nearly two thousand Jianlu Xiaoqi began to turn around.

However, at this moment, a team of more than 3000 people suddenly appeared from the flank of the Ming army, and they were divided into three rows and moved forward alternately.Each row advances twenty steps and then stops to fire a volley, then reloads on the spot, and another row of soldiers behind them presses forward twenty steps...

The Xiaoqi Battalion of the Qing Army was turning halfway around, and when they encountered such a sudden and violent surprise attack on their side, they immediately lost their positions.For a while, no one cared about maintaining the formation, and each of them urged their horses to flee southward in a panic.

Lancer commander Gan Hui, who had been on standby behind the infantry line of the Ming army, smiled when he saw the sudden confusion in the formation of the captive cavalry through the binoculars.

How can such a good opportunity be missed?He mounted his horse with a gun, led his troops to rush out from the side of the infantry, and led more than 1000 cavalrymen to rush in from the side and rear of Jianlu Xiaoqi like lightning.

Beside a mountain forest farther north, Zhu Linmi was also holding binoculars and looked at the team of people who rushed up suddenly with a puzzled face. She was about to send someone to ask whose team it was, when she saw Deng Shan's herald driving the horses. Came here, saluted and shouted loudly: "Report! General Deng has defeated the enemy at Rufeng Mountain and captured nearly [-] people. The commander of the [-]th Battalion Li Battalion is leading the Japanese soldiers and Australian soldiers to wipe out the remaining defeated enemies."

Zhu Linmi pointed in the direction of the main battlefield and said angrily: "Don't ask, it must be Deng Shan's department who rushed up. Although this Deng Shan is brave enough to fight, he is a bit reckless..."

On the side, Zhang Jiayu suddenly put down the binoculars and said, "Your Majesty, the enemy cavalry on the left wing have been dispersed..."

Zhu Lin hesitated, shook her head and said, "It's his luck." After thinking about it, she felt uneasy, so Shi Lin took [-] soldiers from the imperial battalion to fill the position behind Deng Shan, in case the latter was captured by Jian It will not stand up when it is violently counterattacked.

Deng Shan was fighting vigorously, but he saw his own cavalry roaring into the enemy's formation, the captive cavalry in front of them suddenly became more confused, and the speed of fleeing was several times faster than before.

The infantry line he commanded was naturally far less efficient in chasing the enemy than the Lancers, and he couldn't help but feel a little annoyed. When he turned his head, he saw the Qing army's infantry not far from the southwest side regrouping, and immediately became happy again.

The three thousand Polu Battalion infantry immediately repeated the commander's order, shouting loudly, "Compact formation!" "Transform to horizontal formation!" "Turn right!" After a stick of incense, it has turned to face Jianlusuo Haibu.

Huang Qishou, who commanded the infantry of the Dragon Guards in front of the Ming army, saw that a group of his own men did not say hello, so he attacked from the enemy's right flank, and quickly ordered to stop firing.

Then he saw that the imperial battalion came to reinforce him, and after asking, he found out that Deng Shan's troops were in front.

Five or six plans were made, but this situation was not considered at all.Huang Qishou frowned and thought for a moment, he was afraid that Deng Shan would be outnumbered, so he ordered the main force of the infantry to press up and reinforce Deng Shan's troops.

Facts have proved that he still overestimated Jianlu.

Just as Suo Hai restrained the soldiers who were frightened by the explosive bullets, he was caught off guard by a violent volley of firecrackers from the west, and his flanks were in chaos again.

Suo Hai didn't expect that the Ming army would give up the advantage of the cannon and take the initiative to fight, so he was in a hurry at the moment.When he managed to adjust the armor on the left wing to the right wing, and was about to order a counterattack, there was another dense bang and bang from the front. Obviously, more firecrackers were firing than on the west side...

In the rear of the Qing army, Hauge held the reins tightly, his face was ashen, and cold sweat continued to ooze from his forehead. In less than an hour, his cavalry and infantry were defeated one after another, seeing that the momentum was irreversible.

These are all serious Manchu and Han Eight Banners armies!His heart was trembling. Once upon a time, these elite troops could defeat the enemy without bloodshed even in the face of four or five times the Ming army.

But today, with the numbers of the two sides close to each other, the Eight Banners army, which used to be mighty and powerful, has been beaten to the point of being almost powerless to fight back.

Could it be that Qing's life is really exhausted...

He was in a trance when he heard someone beside him shouting: "Hurry up! Protect the prison country and go!"

Hao Ge opened his eyes and saw that Suo Hai was covered in blood and his armor was crooked. He couldn't help being furious, "Bastard! Who told you to back down?!"

"Jian Guo!" Suo Hai burst into tears, "I can't stand it at all! The general situation is over. I'm here to stop the enemy army, and Jian Guo leaves a useful body to go, so as to revive the Qing Dynasty!"

"Rejuvenation?" Hauge lost his focus, staring blankly at the soldiers of the Qing army who were running around in the distance, "Is there still a chance..."

"Yes! Sure!" Suohai pulled the Bayara officer aside, and then greeted the Mongolian officer Kundulun, "You protect the prison country and go first, and I will be in the rear!"

Hauge was held up in a daze, walked south for a while, then turned east, and was about to escape back to Xingjing from the east side of Songshan Mountain, when he heard the sound of rumbling horseshoes behind him...

dusk.

The eastern foot of Rufeng Mountain.

Zhang Jiayu entered the emperor's temporary camp, first saluted, and said: "Your Majesty, the battlefield has been roughly cleaned."

Zhu Linmin nodded, "Let's talk about the casualties first."

"Yes. Our field army had a total of 170 casualties, most of them were Lancers and Deng Shan's troops. The Japanese soldiers suffered more than 770 casualties, and the Australian soldiers more than [-]."

The two sides combined nearly 5 people in the battle, and the casualties of the Ming army were less than [-]. This is enough to illustrate the huge gap in strength between the two sides.

"This Deng Shan..." Zhu Linmei sighed, "But he also made a lot of contributions in this battle."

Zhang Jiayu continued: "As Your Majesty said, General Deng's troops captured and killed more than [-] thieves, the most in the entire army."

"Did Hauge find it?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, Hauge has not yet been found among the captured bandits. More than 1000 captives have fled into Songshan Mountain, and Ma De is leading his troops to wipe them out. Another thousand captives have gone east. The east side turned to the north, and General Li led the Swift Battalion in pursuit."

"Okay, let me know if you have any news." Zhu Linmei ordered, "Order the whole army to rest in place for two days, and then follow me to reinforce Shenyang Wei."

In fact, except for the Servant Army and Deng Shan's Department, the physical exertion of the other soldiers of the Ming Army in today's battle is not too high, and two days of recuperation are more than enough.

……

Besides, Yu Xin led an army of fifteen thousand and hurried to Shenyang.

The North Korean soldiers at the back of the line had to work very hard all the way. When marching, they had to fake footprints with wooden sticks tied with straw sandals. After camping, they had to dig holes and light fires to pretend to be military stoves.It was their hard work day and night that made it impossible for Jianlu to find out the number of Ming troops going north.

Only seven days after Yu Xin's troops left Jinzhou, they caught up with the Qing army that was ahead to rescue Shengjing.

Although there were more than 2 people in this Qing army, [-]% of them were Han and Korean slaves who had been "recruited" in the past six months, so their equipment, experience, and morale were quite average.

It wasn't until the distance between the two armies was only six or seven miles away that they finally realized that there was a large group of people chasing after them, and turned around in a hurry to fight.However, it took nearly two hours before the [-] Green Battalion soldiers were able to form a defensive position on the west bank of the Liao River.

At this time, Yu Xin had already dispatched heavy cavalry and [-] infantry to the enemy's right flank according to the surrounding terrain, and the infantry line of [-] infantry was fully deployed in front.

Yu Xin was about to order the artillery to start the bombardment—he brought most of the field army's light cannons and all the Franc cannons, a total of more than 120 cannons, with extremely impressive firepower.

However, the artillery battalion on his side had just finished filling when he saw chaos in the rear of the Qing army.

Yu Xin was very surprised, and immediately sent a signal flare to ask which troops attacked the enemy without authorization, and the reply he got was that everyone was on standby.

After a while, a series of signal flares of various colors were finally raised in response to the north.The herald identified it, turned to Yu Xin and said, "General, it seems that the third battalion of the field army is ambushing the captives, about four or five miles away."

Yu Xin was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help laughing: "Qin Yiming dared to think and do it. He ran so far and set up an ambush south of Shenyang! Our timing was just right, and the main force immediately moved forward with the white pole army to attack the captives!"
