Maiser, Bayaying Jialazhangjing of Zhengbai Banner in Manchuria, and Namudulu clan in Manchuria, like other Manchurian Tartars, have practiced hunting and fighting with bows since childhood.

And since he was a child, his mother tied him to a horse with a rope in order to adapt him to the habits of a horse. Since he was five years old, he practiced small bows and short arrows and galloped in public. Gradually growing up, he also became an outstanding warrior among the post-Gold Tartars.

In that year, he was selected as a Bala soldier. Like him, his two elder brothers and a younger brother also became the Tazi's Baya soldiers and vest soldiers successively.

In the early years of the rise of Manchuria, there were almost no disadvantages in the military. Just like the one-sided pursuit battle before us, it seems that Maiser has long been accustomed to this since the army.

In battle, there will be casualties. Although compared with the Ming Dynasty's official army, the casualties of the Hou Jin Tartar soldiers or the Qing soldiers have always been very few, but there will always be some losses inevitably.

And only the pursuit battle will be the battle with the lowest casualties. In many cases, there is even the possibility of zero casualties.

For example, in the Battle of Songshan that year, after the defeat of the Ming army and horses, nearly [-] people died in battle, while the Houjin Tartar soldiers only accidentally injured eight people. This comparison is very shocking.

In the pursuit battle, when the enemy is in a state of rout, they don't have any organizational structure and will to fight. They seldom have the courage to turn back and fight the chasing cavalry desperately.

Of course, this is under the condition that you have not pushed them into a desperate situation, so although the pursuit battle looks simple, it is not easy, and the key is to grasp a certain degree.

However, in this regard, Meiser's experience is extremely rich.

From time to time, he rode his horse to the back of the rout soldiers, stabbing a spear suddenly, or throwing a throwing ax from a distance, as long as he made them feel a serious threat and gave them a little hope of escape, he could make them wow Shouting, running away with all the strength in his body.

Even if you outflank and enter their formation, as long as you don't surround and trap them to death, they will rarely stop and fight desperately, because as soon as you stop, the friendly troops will take the opportunity to escape.

To escape, you don't need to run faster than the enemy, but you just need to run faster than the friendly army. This is the truth that every soldier on both sides of the Ming and Qing Dynasties knows.

And in those armies that are prone to defeat, it is obvious that the ideological consciousness of the sergeants is not high enough to be willing to sacrifice their own lives and let others escape.

Of course, it's not that they don't have some stunned or unwilling generals, and they also want to organize a rout and stop the chasing Tartars.

However, the role of outflanking cavalry is fully reflected at this time!

Maiser led more than a dozen Ba Yala soldiers to constantly intersperse and outflank. He himself could not remember how many defeated Ming troops who wanted to regroup, and how many powerful southern warriors he killed.

Just now, he was even about to outflank the front of the rout, and he even took aim at a rout running ahead.

From a distance, the formation of the rout seemed to be very strict, as if it was part of the generals of some southern country, and they ran really fast.

I and the others are one person, two horses, or even one person and three horses constantly changing trains, but they still can't keep up with their escape speed!

However, no matter what, the head of the general of the Southern Kingdom is his own.

If he got the head on the neck of this southern general, perhaps after this battle, the throne of Zhengbai Banner Latuzhangjing would wave to him.

Although there are several Ba Ya La Zhang Jing in the banner, but there is only one real position, even if you take the name of the next Ba Ya La Zhang Jing first, isn't it just a thought?

As long as the chasing battle in front of me is repeated a few more times, this thought will become a reality!
However, there is also a shadow in Meiser's heart. Looking at all the armies in the southern country, he is almost fearless, but there is a southern army who is said to have participated in the Battle of Julu, and even attacked the camp at night after the war and killed Wuying County. king.

And in this Liaodong battle, he killed two Gushan Ezhens of the Qing Dynasty as soon as he started the battle. Even Prince Rui, whom he admired, was deeply afraid, and it made His Majesty the current emperor miss him.

"Zhang Cheng? The Xuanfu military horse of the Southern Dynasty?"

Maiser still clearly remembers the mountain of blood and corpses of the giant deer, which was one of the few fierce battles he experienced.

That time when he invaded the vicinity of the capital of the Southern Dynasty and plundered all the way, it was like a broken bamboo, but he encountered fierce resistance from the army of the Southern Dynasty in Julu. He still remembers the brutality of the chariot that day.

As for my two older brothers who fought in all directions in the past, they were not seriously injured a few times, but only in Julu, when they fought against the Southern Dynasty army, they all died fighting.

When she returned home from that battle, after hearing the news, Er Niang almost cried her eyes out.

For the army with whom he had fought bloody battles, Meiser had mixed feelings, including hatred and hatred, but also a trace of caution and respect, and even a little bit of helplessness.

During that period of time, because of the death of his two elder brothers in battle, he became more hostile to the Han people, so he poured out his anger on a few Han slaves who didn't look very pleasing to the eye, and tortured them to death.

However, what one of the Han slaves said before he died surprised him.

The damn slave said: "Damn Tartar, you are destined to end badly, and you will die worse than me in the future..."

Perhaps because of the influence of that slave, Messer has often had nightmares since then. He always dreamed that he was being hacked to pieces, or his scalp was being scalped alive.

In short, every time he died in pain after suffering all kinds of cruel torture, every time he woke up from the dream, Meiser was covered in cold sweat.

At this moment, Maiser was riding on his tall warhorse, holding his white flag, the Baya La Ying Jia La Zhang Jing Da Zheng Banner, in his left hand, and a nearly nine-foot-long tiger spear in his right hand.

The blade of the tiger spear is nine inches long, and there are several blood grooves on the blade. Red color, I don't know how much blood of the enemy has been drunk.

Nearly half of the barrel of his tiger gun is made of an iron pipe that connects the head of the gun to the shaft, especially near the edge of the gun, there are a section of antlers on the left and right, and two long leather strips hanging from the bottom.

This is designed to prevent the blade of the tiger gun from penetrating too deep into the target and failing to draw it out enough to make it impossible to strike again and be injured by the enemy instead.

After all, the tiger spears used by the Tartars were originally designed for fighting fierce tigers. The blades are like knives, and the spears are very sharp.

Therefore, it is very necessary to have a small section of antler sticks on the left and right near the blade of the spear, so that the tiger can be injured without piercing too deep and causing the tiger to injure itself.

After the rise of Manchuria, more and more tiger guns were used in battlefield battles, especially since the slave chieftain Huang Taiji came to power, one by one tiger gun camps were established. Among the Tartars who can use tiger guns, most of them are outstanding warriors from various banners. , are all heavily armored soldiers such as Bayala and Gebushxian.

In addition, on Meiser's saddle, there are many iron bones, throwing axes, etc., and there are small copper hammers full of spikes, like a miniature version of a mace.

This is specially designed to deal with the heavy armor and shields in the enemy, throwing it out, everything that hits it will be shattered!
Since the Ba Yala soldiers were mostly used for assault on the battlefield, their opponents were not ordinary Ming soldiers, but the elite cavalry of the Ming generals.

Therefore, most of the Bala soldiers in the various banners of the Qing Dynasty were equipped with iron bones, throwing axes, and throwing spears.

Although Meiser was holding the flag in his left hand and the gun in his right hand, he was skilled in horsemanship and could control the horse very well by relying on waist strength and leg strength without using both hands.

I saw that he was riding on the horse, turning left and right, and he was very flexible. There was no reason why he couldn't steer the horse because he didn't control the rein with his hands.

Looking at the group of Bala soldiers beside Meiser, most of them are like this. Their equipment is almost all tiger guns, and only a few of them use long-handled pick knives, or long-handled axes and hammers.

Those knives are narrow and curved, with the blade and the pole, and they are also nearly seven feet long. If they are struck by them with great force, even if the man and the horse are not cut in half, they may not survive.

Each of them also carried a huge step bow quiver, and only a relatively small number of them knew how to use a horse bow.

This is all because of the way they train on weekdays.

The Tartar cavalry of Manchuria have more strength on their feet, so they are better at using big bows, so their ability to ride and shoot on horseback is not as good as that of Mongolian knights.

Although many of them can turn left and turn right, look left and shoot right, but most of them are still used to dismounting to fight at close range, or dismounting to shoot and kill the enemy.

I don't know why, so many strange thoughts flashed through Meser's mind as he rode his horse and looked at the defeated Ming soldiers in front of him.

Even he himself was a little surprised, and secretly speculated: "Am I old? I heard from the old people in the clan that people will become sentimental when they get old, but I am not yet 40 years old, so I can't be considered old?"

He even wondered in his heart: "Should I speed up the horse and catch up quickly, and I must not let that Ming general run away?

Otherwise, I will be far away from the throne of Baya La Shouzhangjing. "

At this moment, he suddenly saw a group of Ming army cavalry passing him on horseback in the north and south directions. Fortunately, they didn't seem to notice his existence.

While galloping his horse, Meiser also looked back full of doubts, only to see that those Ming cavalry were heading towards the rout of the Ming army, intending to drive them to the river bank in the north, or the foot of Shimen Mountain in the south.

Seeing this, Meiser was startled: "Could it be that there is another Southern Dynasty army formation ahead?"

At this moment, there was a burst of thunderous explosions in front of him. After all, Bai Houren, the deputy general of Jizhen, was in the middle, and Meiser didn't know that there was another Ming army waiting in front of him.

After the explosion, black iron lumps were seen flying through the air, some of them even passed the defeated Ming army in front, and came straight towards our own side.

Meiser, who has been in battle for a long time, naturally knows what those things are flying over. He hastily shouted: "Change formation, be careful of Minggou artillery, spread out from north to south!"

The rest of the Ba Yala soldiers and the Tartar armored cavalry had also seen the flying cannons, but fortunately the distance was still far away. Even though the cannons flew extremely fast, the Tartars reacted quickly, and they were able to ride north and south. Run away on both sides to avoid the Ming army's artillery.

The cannons on this side landed one after another, and those who fell behind the rout of the Ming army couldn't stop jumping forward, but they didn't hurt the Tartars a single bit.

Immediately afterwards, there was another crisp sound of firecrackers, and the routs of the Ming army in front fell off their horses one by one. The rout cavalry, which originally had three or four hundred people, fell to pieces in a flash, and there was not much left. .

Meiser was also very surprised by the artillery attack just now. He once thought that the fleeing soldiers in front were luring the enemy, and when he was about to call his companions to evacuate, he heard a burst of firecrackers, and the remaining soldiers of the Ming army Not much.

Meiser couldn't help being taken aback, he guessed right, there was indeed another Ming army formation ahead, they were preventing the rout from charging into the formation, it seemed that they hadn't discovered their existence yet.

He who was already regretful for not being able to capture and kill those generals of the Ming army in the rout, unexpectedly had a thought that was so bold that it was close to madness.

That is to take this opportunity to lead the warriors under his command to hide and kill. If he can defeat the Ming army formation in front of him, wouldn't it be much more credit than capturing and killing a defeated Ming army general?

Even if he couldn't break through the Ming army formation in front of him in one fell swoop, he might be able to capture and kill another Ming army officer under the sudden attack of the warriors under his command.

Messer and his troops shouted information to the Tartar Bayala soldiers in the south, and soon they reunited in one place. Of course, they did not stop advancing during this process.

But when they got together, they saw a group of Ming knights rushing forward, about [-] riders.

They all have hats and helmets, red clothes and red armors. The difference is that they are all murderous, and bloody and cold lights flash in their eyes from time to time.

When the two servants met, everyone was taken aback.

Maiser had never expected that the Ming army horses on the opposite side would dare to rush out. For a moment, he was also a little stunned, but he saw that the Ming cavalry on the opposite side were brave and brave despite their excellent armor and equipment, but after all, there were only about three hundred horses.

And there are nearly [-] fine cavalry on our side, and there are nearly [-] Ba Yala warriors inside, how can we be afraid of the mere [-] Southern Dynasty cavalry?

Meiser called the Tartars very skillfully to fight in formation.

Seeing that someone beside him was about to take out a riding bow, he couldn't help being furious, and immediately roared to stop him. As early as when he saw the well-armored Ming Qi on the opposite side, he knew that the horn bow must be useless to them.

To deal with these elite armored cavalry, only throwing weapons such as javelins and iron bones are useful.

In fact, it's not that Meiser didn't think about retreating just at the moment of lightning.

However, when our side chased and outflanked the Ming army for a long time, even if there were several horses to transfer back and forth, it would always consume the horse's leg strength, but the consumption was less.

So, how can it be compared with the opponent's new force that just played?
What's more, from the appearance, the new force rushing in from the opposite side is still quite elite. If I turn around and run away at this moment, I am afraid that I will be replaced by myself in the scene of chasing the rout soldiers just now.

The current strategy is to fight desperately to fight for a chance of survival. If you can win by luck, it is still a great achievement!
Both the Ming and Qing Dynasties were battle-hardened knights, and they were well-trained. In a split second, under the roar of the officers from both sides, they rode their horses to form their own suitable battle formations.
