Chapter 1045 Nurhachi's decision

When Chu Ying saw her messenger again, it was just a head and a headless corpse.

Chu Ying was very angry, and personally killed the envoy sent by Nurhachi, cut off his head, and sent cavalry to throw them in front of Nurhachi's formation, expressing his will.

If you want to fight, I will fight!Don't blame me for not being sympathetic!

On the afternoon of September [-]th, Qin Jun buried a pot to make a meal, ate a meal of bacon jerky, had a full meal, and gathered enough strength. After the lunch break, he prepared to attack Chimney Mountain under the organization of Machong, intending to give Nurhachi some Color voila.

Although Mao Wenlong was sent out to lead troops to attack the Jianzhou tribe, it is still unknown whether it will be successful, and the effect is also unknown. Besides, if we just wait like this, it is hard to say whether Nurhachi will see something tricky, so fight We still have to fight, and the attack at this time can also bring huge psychological pressure to the Jianzhou soldiers.

At that time, if Mao Wenlong succeeds, the blow to the morale of the Jianzhou soldiers will be fatal.

At the foot of the mountain, artillery was lined up, ready to bombard at any time. When climbing up the mountain and looking far away, Da Nurhachi saw that the Qin army's artillery was about to bombard, and decisively ordered the army to attack. Don't let the Qin army's firearm advantage be brought into play, and fight close.

A team of thousands of Jianzhou soldiers attacked immediately under the order of E Yidu, and the Qin army's sword, shield and gunmen immediately rushed to the artillery position to protect the artillery.

At the same moment, the artillery began to roar.

Boom boom boom boom boom —————

The artillery of the Qin army began to bombard, and the frontal bombardment caused the soldiers of Jianzhou to be blown to pieces, and the scene was extremely tragic and spectacular.

The power of the improved Fran locomotive guns and flower bombs has been greatly improved compared to before, and they have gradually become an indispensable part of the Qin army's combat sequence. Fran cannon.

The Jianzhou soldiers rushed forward under the bombardment of the artillery, and suffered a lot of losses. If they were not careful, they were blown into a sieve by the explosion, or simply smashed to pieces, but they still did not stop charging, which shows that they still have courage.

After three rounds of shelling, the Jianzhou soldiers rushed to the range of the bow and crossbow, and immediately bent their bows and set arrows to start shooting. The Qin army had already prepared for this, and the shield soldiers immediately protected the gunners and gunners, and the crossbow team moved forward quickly. , Under the cover of the shield soldiers, they fired arrows and counterattacked.

The two sides started a bow and crossbow competition, and the result was undoubtedly that the Qin army had the upper hand. The bows and crossbows of the Jianzhou soldiers were mixed. There were Qin army standard crossbows and their own original bows and arrows. and frequency are down.

They themselves have no better defensive measures. They are not as rich and powerful as Qin Jun. Everyone has armor. flying.

After a while, the first round of shock ended before the formation of the Qin army. The last Jianzhou soldier was stabbed to death by three big guns. The Qin army's artillery was no longer a threat. Push forward to increase the coverage of the artillery fire.

Nurhachi saw this failed charge with a pale face, and his heart was full of anxiety.

He has no artillery, nor does he have long-range shooting weapons that are capable of fighting artillery. The effective range of their bows and arrows is only seventy or eighty steps, while the range of the Qin army's artillery is more than a mile.

If they didn't charge forward, they would have to flee in embarrassment under the artillery fire of the Qin army and retreat step by step, exhausting the morale that was not much.

After realizing his weakness, Nurhachi understood that the only chance of victory was to charge in close combat, so under his order, E Yidu personally led a mixed army of infantry and cavalry to start action, launching an attack on the Qin army. Death Charge.

This mixed infantry and cavalry army charged swiftly despite the fierce artillery attack of the Qin army.

Within a distance of about one mile, the Qin army's artillery was forced to retreat before it could bombard it a few times. More swordsmen and gunmen rushed forward to form a solid iron wall formation, which directly contained the momentum of the Jianzhou soldiers' charge. .

At this time, Ma Chong also directly ordered Luo Rong to lead the cavalry to participate in the battle. The Daqin black armored cavalry roared up and joined the battle group, immediately beating the fierce Jianzhou soldiers dizzy and confused.

The Jianzhou infantry, which had lost the group organization, was defeated by the Qin army's iron wall, which was marching forward in a tight formation.

The Jianzhou cavalry did not have any advantage over the Qin army's black armored cavalry. The two sides fought for about half an hour, and the Jianzhou soldiers left a pile of corpses and retreated in embarrassment.

The Qin army did not pursue it, but the artillery team that had been on standby at the rear stepped forward to bombard again, killing the defeated Jianzhou infantry again.

This battle was over from noon to dusk. The Qin army won the first battle and their morale soared. The Jianzhou soldiers lost their corpses and retreated in embarrassment. If the sun was not about to set, the Qin army did not plan to attack again. It was probably used as a line of defense. Dazhai will fall.

According to the statistics after the war, the Qin army killed 110 and eight people, seriously injured 260 people, and slightly injured more than 790 people. In contrast, they beheaded [-] Jianzhou soldiers and annihilated more than [-] Jianzhou soldiers. You know, it's a hearty victory.

Moreover, the dragoons also participated in the battle. I don't know how many people were killed, but as long as they were shot into the body by lead bullets, with the medical level of Jianzhou Jurchen, they would definitely die. It is estimated that the number of deaths will increase after they return.

Ma Chong looked at the statistics of the battle results and was very happy. He felt that this battle could be won quickly even if it was face-to-face. Although the price to be paid might not be small, Xiao Ruxun might not be happy.

In the evening after the war, Ma Chong ordered the whole army to cook broth and eat dry rice to reward the soldiers to celebrate the victory, while the Jianzhou army was in a gloomy mood.

Under the leadership of the fierce general E Yidu, the strongest infantry and cavalry mixed troops were killed and injured so badly. 5000 people participated in the battle, and less than 1000 people returned intact. E Yidu's arm was injured again, and he was still killed by the Qin army He was shot by a musket, and the bleeding continued. It took a lot of bandages to barely stop the bleeding.

Nurhachi looked at the pale-faced E Yidu, feeling very distressed, then looked at An Fei Yanggu and Fei Yingdong, and saw that they were also gloomy.

if not?what else?Excited?
After a big defeat and heavy casualties, the morale of the entire Jianzhou army was severely hit. They had strong doubts about whether they could defeat the Qin army.

The strongest generals have failed, let alone them.

Can you still win by taking the initiative?Can you still win?

They all harbor such doubts.

"If this continues, our entire army will be wiped out in a few days, and we can no longer take the initiative to attack."

Fei Yingdong tried his best to persuade Nurhachi.

"Yeah, the Han army is too capable of fighting. We have to defend to delay the consumption of their food and grass."

Anfeyangu also made such a suggestion.

Nurhachi kept shaking his head.

"The artillery range of the Han people is too far. We can't hit them at all, but they can hit us. If we can't defend ourselves, we can only be bombed to death by them!"

An Fei Yanggu and Fei Yingdong looked at each other.

What Nurhachi said is very reasonable. If you stick to it, isn't it just waiting to be bombed and then being bombed to death?

What can we do then?
The two looked at Nurhachi together.

"Night attack!"

Nurhachi gritted his teeth and made up his mind.
