Daming Crazy Emperor

Chapter 123

Nearly 30 troops from Daming and Jiannu gathered in the west of Dalinghe Fort. The two sides had already set up battles, and a big battle was about to break out.

At this time, the eyes of almost all Jiannu were bloodthirsty and excited, because they all thought that it was time to collect military merits. As long as they rushed up, they could chop as many heads as they wanted!
Their military merit rewards are also very attractive. As long as the military merit is high, there will be a lot of money, fertile land, women, and slaves, and they will be very happy. Therefore, every time they fight, they scream and just want to rush to grab the head.

The soldiers of the Ming army had different expressions at the moment.

The soldiers of the Shenji Battalion in the middle were all determined, without any expression of fear, especially those former soldiers of the Qi Family Army, whose eyes were full of fighting spirit.

They are really not afraid of the slave cavalry at all, because the number of Japanese pirates and Mongolian cavalry they defeated is too many to count. As long as the number of enemy troops is not more than five times theirs, they are confident in defeating the enemy.

At this moment, the number of people on their side has an absolute advantage, they are afraid of a fart!

The frontier soldiers and garrison guards on both sides had solemn faces, and even a little panic in their eyes, especially those who had just been transferred, their faces were a little pale with fright.

The cavalry had an advantage over the infantry, and the slave cavalry was even more vicious. The armored cavalry rushed into the infantry formation like chopping melons and vegetables. Could they not be afraid?

The only thing Taichang is worried about at the moment is the infantry on the two wings, because most of these infantry are the guards of the two inland provinces of Huguang and Sichuan, and have never been on the battlefield at all.

Such a battlefield rookie and the Liaodong Army temporarily mixed together, can they stand up to Jiannu's armored cavalry?
But Qi Jin said that if the slave cavalry attacked the two wings, the infantry guarding the two wings would inevitably suffer heavy casualties.

He arranged for Man Gui, He Kegang, Sun Zushou and other fierce generals to sit on the two wings. The question is, most of their men are recruits who have never been on the battlefield. Can they hold on?

Man Gui was also aware of this problem at the moment. He looked at the Jiannu cavalry on the opposite side expressionlessly, then turned his horse's head, and said loudly: "Brothers, do you know? In the eyes of Jiannu, we are cowards, unbearable One-shot cowards! Are we cowards? No, we are strong men defending our country! Today, let Jiannu see how brave and fearless our soldiers of the Ming Dynasty are!"

He took a slight breath, and then he drew his sword and roared: "The bloody battle to the end, the deadly battle will never retreat!"

Seeing this, Sun Zushou and Hei Yunlong immediately drew out their weapons and roared, "The bloody battle will last, and the death battle will never retreat!"

The veterans who followed them to stop Jiannu also yelled, "Fight to the end, fight to the death and never retreat!"

The blood of those recruits who had never been on the battlefield instantly boiled with enthusiasm, and they roared: "The bloody battle to the end, the deadly battle will never retreat!"

The roar of the [-] infantry on the left wing shook the sky, and the morale was soaring, which made people's blood boil!
Seeing this, He Kegang, the right-wing general, pulled out his saber and roared, "Brothers, you should serve your country today, and die for your country. We deserve to die! Bloody battle to the end, we will never retreat!"

Hu Dawei and Zu Dabi also drew out their weapons and roared, "The bloody battle will be fought to the end, and the deadly battle will never retreat!"

Soon, the [-] infantry on the right wing also roared loudly: "Fight to the end, fight to the death, never retreat!"

In fact, Nurhachi also knew that Taichang had led an army to support him, but he didn't know that the Shenji Battalion was formed on the basis of Qi's army, because the spies he sent had not yet been able to infiltrate the Daming capital.

He knew very well that the imperial family's pro-military forces had been abolished for almost 200 years. Since the Tumu Fortress change, even civil servants who became emperors could no longer hold back. One can imagine how crippled the imperial family's pro-military forces were.

Therefore, he didn't care at all about Taichang Yujia's personal conquest.

He even thought about repeating the Tumu Fortress Change and captured Emperor Ming!

At this time, he was really dazzled by the victory, and he didn't pay much attention to the people of the world.

In his opinion, the thundering roar of the Ming army was just to embolden him!

Yell, yell, yell!

Without hesitation, he waved his knife and shouted: "Kill!"

"Kill!"

There was a thunderous sound of horseshoes, and the iron cavalry in the front row of Jiannu rushed towards the Ming army formation like a torrent, and the light cavalry and infantry behind followed suit, roaring and rushing up together.

This guy, forty thousand cavalry charging at the same time is really frightening, the whole ground even started to shake violently.

Both Man Gui and He Kegang were fearless, raised their knives without hesitation and shouted: "Stand up the shield, shoot the gun!"

With a burst of flag waving, the sword and shield fighters on both sides of the infantry formation roared in unison, erecting a shield formation at the front, while the pikemen shouted "ha", and lowered their spears. Stretched out from the gap in the shield array.

At this time, they had no fear, and all the soldiers had one word in their hearts, fight!

As for the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion in the middle, they have already stuffed the sub-cannonballs into the barrels and are ready to fire.

The cavalry launched a charge at a distance of less than two miles, roughly within ten snaps of their fingers.

Qi Jin silently calculated in his heart, and after about four snaps of his fingers, he shouted without hesitation: "Cannon, launch, fire gun, prepare!"

"Boom boom boom" There was a loud noise, and more than [-] shells suddenly flew into the sky and fell down like hailstones.

Damn, there are so many tiger squatting cannons!
It's Qi Jiajun!

When Nurhachi saw a large cloud of artillery shells, the arrogant expression on his face couldn't help but stagnate.

Without thinking about it, he turned sideways and got off his horse, dodging the shells that fell head-on, but behind him he thought of a dull "dong dong" sound.

It was obvious that someone had been hit by a shell.

Fortunately, the number of shells was not so large that it completely covered the armored cavalry in the middle, and he could barely bear this loss.

At this time, it is impossible to hold the horse and turn around, because the cavalry has already launched a charge, and there are infantry behind, turning around, it will trample all the infantry to death!

He could only stare viciously at the chariot formation of the "Qi Family Army" in front of him, and ordered people to shoot arrows when he was about a hundred paces away.

Unexpectedly, almost in the blink of an eye, there was another violent roar of artillery on the opposite side.

how can that be?

Nurhachi was a little dumbfounded, of course he knew how fast the cannon was loaded, usually when he led the cavalry to charge, the enemy would be able to fire at most one round of shells!

This time the shell did not hit him head-on, because he had already rushed through the impact area of ​​the shell, and the cavalry behind him suffered.

More than [-] shells just hit the center of the cavalry formation, almost every shot was fired!

At this time, the formation of the cavalry in the middle was a bit chaotic, because hundreds of people were knocked off their horses by shells at the same time, many of the cavalry behind either stepped on corpses or hit unowned horses, and the charge formation would naturally be affected.

Nurhachi looked at the distance between the two sides, and it was roughly 200 steps away, and they would be able to shoot arrows in a snap of the fingers.

Therefore, he gritted his teeth and did not issue any orders, but beat his horse and continued to charge forward.

As a result, there was another violent artillery roar on the opposite side, and the roar was mixed with intensive "popping" sounds.

The Qi family army has so many muskets!
He only felt "ding ding ding" on his body, and he didn't know how many bullets hit him.

Fortunately, he was wearing full-body fish scale armor, and the small bullets couldn't penetrate at such a long distance. He just felt a little pain in some places.

The cavalry behind him is not as well protected as he is. After all, it takes too much time to make fish scale armor. Therefore, the general armored cavalry is covered with armor, and it is the kind of vest, with arms and necks. It doesn't have any nails.

You can't rush like that!

There are too many firearms, and the reloading speed is astonishingly fast. When he rushes to the chariot, the cavalry in the middle may be wiped out by thousands.

What is the difference between this and death?
Moreover, even if you risk your life to rush in front of them, you are still facing chariots, and there are not enough cavalry to go in!
Nurhachi finally couldn't help raising his hand to make a gesture, and at the same time shouted luckily: "Spread left and right, hurry up, go to the pawn formation, don't rush to the chariot formation!"

The Jiannu cavalry in the front row suddenly dispersed to both sides as if they were split in the middle.

Unfortunately, it was still a bit late, the artillery and muskets of the Shenji Battalion roared again, and hundreds of cavalrymen were overturned to the ground again.

At this time, the forwards of the two sides were less than a hundred paces apart, and the Jiannu cavalry raised their bows and arrows one after another, shooting a round of arrows, and then raised their spears and swords one after another, and rushed towards the infantry phalanx.

There was a chaotic sound of "listening to the clanging clang", followed by screams, the shield formation and spear formation discharged by the infantry on both wings were quickly rushed away, and the Jiannu iron armored cavalry rushed to the infantry like wolves into a flock of sheep In the formation, slashing and killing started frantically, and the pawn phalanx immediately spattered with blood!
Seeing this, Taichang couldn't help frowning.

He could see very clearly that firearms were indeed the nemesis of cavalry, and once Nurhachi found out that something was wrong, he didn't dare to charge into the formation of Shenji Battalion.

The question is, the cavalry also restrained the infantry, let them continue to kill like this, can the infantry on both sides withstand it?
Even if it can withstand it, the [-] pawns will probably be killed almost!

He frowned and thought for a while, and then he ordered decisively: "Quickly, pass the order, order the Shenji battalion to spread out to the left and right, to outflank the Jiannu cavalry, and the white soldiers will follow, and order the Shenwu battalion cavalry and infantry to follow. Spread out both wings, then gather in the middle, charge forward, and smash the infantry behind Jiannu!"

After a wave of command flags, the Shenji battalion formation split into two, aiming at the buttocks of the Jiannu cavalry, a volley of muskets fired over, while the white-armed soldiers followed closely behind the formation to prevent the Jiannu cavalry from counterattacking. .

The Shenwu Battalion was originally behind the Imperial Guards and the Jingying Elite, but the speed of the cavalry was nothing at all. Soon, the armored cavalry of the Wanshenji Battalion poured out from both sides like flowing water, passing through The original large formation of the Qi family army went straight to the Jiannu infantry formation, and the Shenji Battalion infantry behind them also rushed up continuously.

Taichang thought for a while, and then issued an order: "Order, order Zhang Yuanfang to lead the elite of the Beijing camp to separate left and right, and go to help the Shenji camp and the Baigan soldiers."

"Kill!"

There was another roar, and the elite of the [-] Beijing battalion also rushed into the battlefield from both sides.

At this time, he only had 30 Imperial Guard soldiers in his hands, and the nearly [-] troops in front of him were already fighting together, so he couldn't help much.

He could only stand on the well fence, raised his binoculars, kept scanning left and right, and watched the battle situation with a serious face.
