Chapter 174 The Enemy Chapter 84 The Great Retreat
Almost all those who have a little understanding of modern military affairs have had a doubt:
Why in ancient wars, well-equipped nomadic cavalry and archery troops can always suppress farming civilizations that rely on spear phalanxes, crossbows, and muskets.

After entering the 18th century, when bayonet musketeers appeared on a large scale.When the cavalry unit confronted the densely arrayed infantry in close combat, they suddenly fell into a disadvantage.

When Shen Shuren read this piece of military history in his previous life, he was puzzled at first.

Because although he can understand that "the bayonet is really suitable for close combat against cavalry", no matter how good it is, it is not as good as a professional super long spear, right?
The total length of a bayonet musket is at most seven feet.Spears can easily reach more than one foot.Compared with the strength and lethality of cavalry stabbing, bayonets and muskets are not as good as professional anti-cavalry spears.

More than defensive equipment.In history, after the appearance of bayonet musketeers, they quickly gave up their heavy armor and dared to go to the battlefield directly wearing a military uniform.

As for the heavy anti-cavalry infantry before the 17th century, look at the Swiss halberd soldiers and the Southern Song infantry armored spearmen, at least they still have excellent armor.

Therefore, regardless of the melee attack power or defense power, the bayonet musketeers were all overwhelmed by the predecessors of the heavy armored halberd soldiers in all directions.

But after pieced together into an organic whole, the overall combat power of the anti-cavalry has shown a qualitative leap, grinding the cavalry to the ground.

It wasn't until the end of the Ming Dynasty that Shen Shuren experienced the infantry and cavalry combat in this era, combined with reading Qi Jiguang's "Ji Xiao New Book" and other military books, and finally practiced his true knowledge——

The bayonet musketeer phalanx had a qualitative leap in combat power against cavalry, not because the bayonet musketeer phalanx had better close combat capabilities than the heavy armored halberd soldiers.

The heavy armored halberd soldiers, until the moment they were crushed by the rolling wheels of history and eliminated into the garbage dump, their arrayed hand-to-hand combat power is still very terrifying——

Just like the moment when Nokia mobile phones were eliminated into the garbage dump of history, its hardness and drop resistance are still the same as those new mobile phones that eliminated it.

The phalanx of heavy armored spearmen and halberds only lost in "forcing the enemy cavalry to fight with them", far inferior to bayonet musketeers.

Even if the heavy armored halberds can match the crossbow or even the musket, as a long-range output, when the cavalry tries to mount a kite and fly a kite, it will shoot at the cavalry, forcing the cavalry to switch to close combat after suffering heavy losses in the confrontation.

However, the efficiency of this "forced battle" is still far inferior to that of all staff with bayonets and muskets.

Because war is not an RTS game, it is not the ideal state of "the tanks in the front row can carry it, and all DPS in the back row can have output positions".

In actual combat, the depth of the battlefield is very large, but the range of weapons is very short compared to the area of ​​the battlefield.

At any point on the battlefield, the long-range firepower that can be invested is very slim, and it is impossible to concentrate the firepower.

In "Ji Xiao's New Book", even if Qi Jiguang paid more attention to firearms, when he talked about the tactics of using infantry against Tatar cavalry, he would only suggest
"A battalion of 500 people can be equipped with 700 guns. When encountering cavalry, the infantry forms a square formation with [-] spears on each side, facing outwards on all sides, and the [-] guns are in the center.

When cavalry are harassed by cavalry from either side of the phalanx, all gunners will support the side attacked by the enemy cavalry through the tunnel, and counterattack with firearms.

In other words, cavalry has a mobility advantage.When both sides fight each other with a battalion of 500 men, the side with higher cavalry mobility can concentrate its forces on one side of the battle formation, forming a local superior force to fight more and less.

The infantry had poor mobility, so they could only respond to the enemy with [-] melee pikemen and musketeers on the enemy side. When the enemy rushed up to fight hand-to-hand, the musketeers could only retreat, leaving only the pikemen to carry the line.

It is also because of this that the art of war in the Eastern and Western worlds is surprisingly consistent in the ratio of early pikemen and musketeers——

"Ji Xiao's New Book" believes that [-]% musketeers and [-]% musketeers are optimal.Coincidentally, the early Spanish phalanx at that time also felt that muskets and long spears were one to four, which was the most efficient golden ratio.

Later, with the improvement of musket technology and the appearance of bayonets, the ratio of musketeers to pikemen gradually became one to one, and finally evolved to all musketeers and bayonets.

The appearance of muskets and bayonets actually reduced the infantry's close combat ability against cavalry, but greatly enhanced the opportunity cost of "forcing cavalry to fight infantry in close combat".

Shen Shuren had already figured out this simple truth,
Zheng Chenggong hadn't figured it out before, but after today's battle, he probably would have figured it out thoroughly.

As for the officers of the Tazi cavalry facing Zheng Chenggong, I am afraid that they will never have a chance to figure it out in this life.

……

Following the death of Tartar Jia Lazhang Jingyonggui, in the bloody battle just now, the Bijiashan Qing army had at least one more powerful force, who was killed and wounded by the Ming army in the initial raid.

This kind of deadly fight with no way out for both sides has always been the bloodiest.

Although the subsequent three bulls have turned around, the combined total force is already less than four bulls. In addition to the fact that the previous years of war damage were not enough, in fact, there were only more than 900 cavalry.

The rest of the Han Army Banner and Mongolian Army Banner miscellaneous soldiers gathered a total of four to five hundred people, and the entire army of the Tartars at the port of Bijiashan was already less than 500 people.

After the death of Jialazhangjing's cavalry unit, there was also the problem of not being under each other and lacking a unified overall command.

The IQ and art of war of each Niulu officer are not very high.

Generals of this level basically only know how to strictly implement orders from the top, lead the team well tactically, and fight resolutely. The overall strategy is not something they need to think about at all.

Numerous Qing cavalry were just mechanically implementing their consistent tactical habits, patrolling and harassing in front of the formation, and pounced on a bloody hand-to-hand fight when they saw a gap. Look for weak spots in the enemy's army.

It's a pity that this time, they didn't find the weakness of Zhang Mingzhen and Zheng Chenggong at all.

Shen Shuren has been in Huangzhou for two years. At the end of last year, he also occupied Daye Iron Mountain in Wuchang. The military industry and industry have flourished.Last year he was able to gather nearly [-] musketeers, and now there will only be more.

This time, in order to allow Zhang Mingzhen and Zheng Chenggong to deal with the Tartars with confidence, Shen Shuren also spent a lot of money. The five thousand "households" have directly reached [-]% of the muskets!And every musket had a bayonet.

This situation made the Qing army, who had never seen such a high ratio, very uncomfortable.

The Qing army has been fighting against Ming for so many years, and they have become accustomed to "the enemy's hand-to-hand combat is strong. The firearms and crossbows are weak. Just open the distance and shoot at the morale of the Ming army. After the enemy's firearms team is transferred to this direction for reinforcement, Then rush up to fight hand-to-hand with the firearms soldiers, use the firearms soldiers to retreat timidly to disrupt the front, and take the opportunity to charge and kill to expand the results of the battle".

Zhang Mingzhen's performance at the moment is like a combination of a hedgehog and a porcupine,
Far away, the porcupine's flying spurs flew out, causing the enemy to suffer terribly.It is approaching to bite, like biting a hedgehog, with sharp thorns in its mouth.

Going forward is also worrying, and retreating is also worrying.

"I can't control that much anymore! The whole army charges! Don't retreat any more, and directly fight to the death with those barbarians who use strange short spears! These short spears are only seven feet long, so what's the big deal! You have to rush across the enemy's formation even if you use the pile of human lives!"

Several Niulu officers finally fully aroused the ferocity of fighting to the death, regardless of their lives.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!" The members of the Shen family under Zhang Mingzhen's command were also as immobile as a mountain, allowing the Qing army cavalry like a stormy wave to kill red-eyed, forgetting all tactical devious tricks, and charged straight up the bayonet formation.

"Puff! Puff!" The hearty and bloodthirsty sound of the bayonet piercing the flesh was intertwined with the muffled sound of the forceful collision of tendons and bones.

The miserable howls of soldiers and the mournful neighing of war horses resounded across the battlefield.

A bayonet with a total length of no more than seven feet can only be used to exchange the lives of infantry and cavalry after all. The length of this level of weapon is not enough to use its own breaking to remove the huge force of the horse's full charge.After stabbing a Tartar cavalry to death, many Shen family servants were immediately knocked into the air, and even a few brave Qing army cavalry were able to knock two or three Shen family servants into the air before they died.

However, the battle has become such a no-frills change of life, and the Ming army is not so afraid-fear and low morale, often because of being unable to fight back, being hit unilaterally, and flying a kite.

If life can be changed stably, once the ferocity and bloodiness of human beings are aroused, the idea of ​​"replacing one with enough money" will come into being, inspired by the sound of bloodthirsty killing, they will soon enter unconscious rage, and the fear will be thrown away. Cloud Nine.

Many of the members of the Shen family are also fierce and stubborn people who have been fed with money, and many of them have heard of the brutality of the Tartars. They want to vent their anger accumulated for many years.
After a bloody battle of just a cup of tea, several Niulu officers of the Qing army cavalry rushed to the front line, and were greeted by Ming army muskets and bayonets in turn, and all of them were killed. Do not calm down.

One change one life, they can't change at all!The Ming army has thousands of people, and they have no intention of retreating at all. As long as they exchange less than [-] lives with them, they can all be exchanged!

What's more, the Ming army still has Hongyi cannons, which have been pouring firepower behind the formation. Although it takes several minutes for each cannon to fire a cannon, several cannons fire in turn, but they can make two shots every minute. F.

The loud noise of the heavy artillery was like a giant hammer, hitting the hearts of the Qing cavalry again and again.

Although a few people can't be killed every time, and sometimes even empty shots, this kind of death alarm clock and regular lottery draws will definitely draw a few people to death.

This kind of deterrence gradually made the Qing cavalry who thought they were invincible gradually timid and disintegrated. After the last Niu Lu officer was stabbed into a hedgehog, the remaining three or four hundred Qing cavalry finally collapsed like a tide recede.

"Kill! Rush into the camp! No one will be left alive!" Zhang Mingzhen raised his sword and shouted. The Ming army saw that he had repelled a fraction of the cavalry of the Qing army, and their morale was greatly boosted. They rushed up with a tsunami. .

Not to mention the hundreds of traitors and Mongols left in the camp who were in charge of guarding the wall, they were immediately drowned and slaughtered.

"We annihilated the main force of the Tartars! What a great victory! What happened to the Tartars! They have one head and two arms! Even if they were stabbed with bayonets, they would die with one blow!"

Excited soldiers of the Ming army were frantically cleaning the battlefield, and the soldiers who hadn’t made any achievements in killing the enemy were also excitedly carrying their bayonets and rifles, as if to test the actual combat effect of new weapons,
Facing the bodies of those Tartar cavalrymen who were still lying there, dying, or dead, whether they were dead or not, they would savagely add a few more bayonets.

Even if it is a dead body, at least not long after death, it can still bleed after being pierced.This kind of response feedback can stimulate people's desire to try. The soldiers of the Ming army mechanically repeated the action of making up the knife, shouting in their hearts:
"Tartars are human too! You can die if you get stabbed! One knife makes a hole! Every hole makes blood! You can even stab them in cotton armor!"

The old man is innocent!

The corpses of more than 800 elite cavalrymen of the Qing army were successively stripped of their iron-coated cotton armor, and then all of them were stabbed into hedgehogs to practice gallbladder.

About a quarter of an hour after the battlefield was cleaned up, and at the end of Yin's time, there was a sudden burst of noise from the battlefield in the southeast.Zhang Mingzhen hurriedly assembled his team, and let the troops occupy the dangerous location of Bijia Shanshui Village, ready for battle.

Fortunately, not long after, the scouts on the opposite side also ventured over to make contact, under the banner of Tashan guard Li Fuming.

Zhang Mingzhen also revealed his own identity, saying that he had captured the water village of the Tartars, and asked the other side to send officers to enter the camp alone to verify their identities.

The Ming army on the opposite side was not ambiguous. Li Fuming believed in this news very much, and directly brought only a few horses into the camp. After meeting Zheng Chenggong, he confirmed that they were indeed friendly troops, and then put them all into the camp in an orderly manner.

Zheng Chenggong still didn't forget to jokingly say a few words: "Li Junmen is so courageous, isn't he afraid that General Zhang is a Tartar pretending to deceive you? Then he dares to enter the camp alone. If there are still Yonggui's soldiers in the camp at this moment, you A few lives are not enough to die."

Li Fuming's expression was serious and sad: "What kind of 'courage' do I have? I'm not ashamed to say it. On the way here, we also encountered the Tartars who fled from here just now. We fought a bloody battle and killed 200 enemies. Ride a lot, but unfortunately, the remnant enemy broke through and escaped.

That's why I knew that Bijiashan must have already succeeded, and there was nothing to worry about, otherwise Yonggui's soldiers and horses would not have been defeated so scatteredly.

I am sorry for my brothers!The night before yesterday, Li Tongtai, who I sent out as a garrison, had died for his country. I found out later that he had disguised himself as my banner before he died for his country. This made the tartars relax their guard and transferred several Niulu troops to the Between Tashan and Gaoqiao in the south, intercept our army fleeing back to Shanhaiguan by land.

The enemy army we have to deal with tonight has lost a few cows, and the response of other ministries has also been slower, otherwise it may not be so easy to succeed. "

After Zheng Chenggong listened to it, he was also in awe, and at the same time, he felt a little uncomfortable.He thought that when he infiltrated Tashan City that day, if he hadn't been caught by the Tartar scouts and killed all the Tartar scouts, maybe he could have done it more secretly.

Maybe Li Tongtai can also save the idle chess of letting Li Tongtai go back and forth.In that way, Daming could save the death of a hundred elite warriors and one loyal garrison officer who fought to the death.

But there is no perfect thing in the world. Once a battle breaks out, everything becomes a mess. We can only adapt to the situation and see what happens.

He and Li Fuming punched each other as encouragement: "Li Junmen, now is not the time to be ashamed! Li Shoubei died a heroic death, so we will kill a few more tartars to avenge Li Shoubei!
We have to meet Cao Junmen in a while, and we need your brothers to work harder!Just now I caught a few Tartars alive, and they have already been tortured. Just now, Yonggui sent three Niulu out of the camp to intercept Cao Junmen!Cao Junmen had already fought a bloody battle with Erbi in Beitun half an hour ago. "

Li Fuming said sternly: "Of course it should be! However, we should ship all the wounded and sick from our two armies first, and wait at sea. Ship time!
Also, let's immediately light up all the torches that can be lit in the camp, so as to guide Cao Junmen from a distance. When we separate an army and go retrograde to attack along the road, we must also light more torches to attract the attention of the enemy. Immediately switch to defense, fight and retreat——

General Zhang, Zheng Tiju, what do you guys think of the arrangement I suggested?After all, we came out of the camp only to respond, not to take the initiative to attack.

As long as we bluff and attract some of the enemy's attention to us, we can relieve Cao Junmen's pressure.We can't go too far out of the camp to meet them in the dark, otherwise we may cause chaos instead. "

Zhang Mingzhen nodded immediately: "This method is very good. To retreat the breakout troops, we should try our best to hold the horse's mouth as quietly as possible. To meet the breakout troops, we should make a big splash to attract the attention of the enemy and the friendly troops. To boost the morale of the friendly troops and let them know that the way to survive is ahead, then follow Li Junmen's wishes."

After the two sides checked it out, Li Fuming dispatched [-] soldiers whose physical strength was still relatively intact, went out of the camp five miles northeast, occupied a high ground with more torches, and stood firm on the spot.

Zhang Mingzhen assigned [-] freshmen from the Shen family who hadn't participated in land battles much before, and after five miles more, they also lined up in the field by the sea, and then asked Zheng Chenggong to assign a few warships, detour there, and use Hongyi Cannon ready to fire support ashore—

Except for the Bijiashan Wharf, the other nearby coasts are all shoals, and large ships cannot be docked for loading and unloading, but there is absolutely no problem sailing to a stop one mile away from the shore.Therefore, it is entirely possible to use the heavy Hongyi cannon with a range of up to three miles to support the shore remotely.

Li Fuming originally had more than 8000 elite soldiers left in Tashan City, but this time he brought more than 6000 soldiers.The rest were either casualties in the bloody battle with the remnants of Yonggui just now, or they were scattered and left behind, or they were seriously injured and unable to retreat in Tashan.

Among the 6000 people, 4000 people were selected from those who contributed a lot in the previous bloody battle, those who were slightly injured, and those who were carrying a lot of supplies and were physically exhausted, and quickly boarded the ship for shipment.

Among the members of the Shen family, as many as 800 people were killed and injured in the bloody battle just now, and nearly [-] people were killed or seriously injured in the battle.

It has to be said that, as the authentic Eight Banners cavalry of the powerful army in the world, their lethality is still very huge when fighting people, and they caused so many casualties to the Ming army.

Of course, these wounded soldiers and servants who had exhausted their physical strength were also among those who boarded the ship and retreated in advance. After some rectification, the total number of servants and sailors who remained on the shore was also reduced to 4000.

Including the 2000 people left by Li Fuming on the shore, the two armies have a total of 6000 people, and they will continue to respond in three echelons and stick to the dock.

……

While Zheng Chenggong and Zhang Mingzhen were having a bloody battle at the Bijiashan Wharf, another bloody battle that was even more tragic tonight was actually continuing a bloody fight only twenty miles away.

The protagonists of that battle were Lazhang Jingerbi, a Xianglan Banner armor, and Cao Bianjiao, the commander-in-chief of the Ming army.

Cao Bianjiao's remnant soldiers gathered in Xingshan were actually much more than Li Fuming's in Tashan. Even after such a long period of consumption, he could still bring out more than 1 troops.

It's a pity that the siege force encountered by these 1 people was much stronger.

Although Erbi only had [-] Manchurian cavalry, he was able to fight Cao Bianjiao immediately, but he still had three Niulu, who could rush there in an hour and a half.
It is nothing more than the fact that these troops have rushed sixty miles here, and their physical strength and horsepower will be exhausted, and their combat effectiveness will drop sharply, but they are all fierce and authentic full Eight Banners cavalry after all.

The main force of his master Azig's Xianglan Banner can also arrive at the battlefield within two hours.

In addition, the two Jiala of Prince Jierhalang who besieged Jinzhou in the rear were also deployed halfway between Jinzhou and Xingshan.It is also possible to arrive at the battlefield within two hours.

The total strength of the Qing army is definitely quite a lot, but it can't be condensed in a hurry. In order to delay Cao's transformation, they will have to resort to fueling tactics.

Cao Bianjiao is also considered a fierce general of the Ming army. Among the eight generals under Hong Chengchou's command, his fighting spirit and firmness are at least among the top three.Since the encounter at the last moment of Chou Shi, Cao Bianjiao has been aware of this situation and is mentally prepared.

"Brothers! Tonight, the Tartars will definitely divide their troops into waves to intercept our army! But because of this, our army must not be chaotic, and we must line up! Every time the Tartars come, there will not be many people! This He gave us military exploits in vain!

If it is messed up, no one will survive!Hold the line!If you reach Bijia Mountain, you will be rich and prosperous, and you can live a peaceful life! "

During several fierce battles, Cao Bianjiao always encouraged morale in this way, running back and forth on the front line in person.When encountering harassment by hundreds of cavalry of the Eight Banners cavalry, he ordered the bows and crossbows to shoot back resolutely. If the enemy retreated a little farther, then let the crossbowmen and firecrackers line up on both sides of the army formation, and be on guard at all times. And retreat.

That posture was the same as when Liu Bang withdrew from Baideng Mountain, all the archers of the Han army drew their bows and aimed at both sides of the road anytime and anywhere, lest Maodun Shanyu would repent and make a fraudulent pounce.

This way the march will be slower, but it is the most effective when there are enemies biting.

The two Niu Lu of Erbi saw that such harassment could not make the Ming army run away, nor could it make the Ming army line up on the spot. As time went by, Erbi finally couldn't bear it anymore and had to initiate a A short but deadly charge.

Every charge was not to kill many Ming soldiers, but to interrupt Cao Bianjiao's marching plan and delay him from turning into a battle formation for a moment and a half.

And every time they charged, Erbi's subordinates had to immediately pay the price with the lives of at least dozens of elite cavalrymen of the Eight Banners.

The Ming army was consumed several times. Although they also killed more than 200 Erbi riders, they walked more and more slowly, and their morale was also a little low.

Some military officers couldn't help but began to question Cao Bianjiao: "Junmen! Are those southerners reliable? Zheng Chenggong is just a family of pirates. Do they have faith? If we continue to delay, our army will not be able to reach Bijia Mountain for a long time. Attacking back and forth, can they take down the Beacon Hill Wharf? They won't retreat after a slight setback, right?
If we were so exhausted and rushed to Bijia Mountain before dawn, only to find that we had to attack the camp and take down the pier ourselves, then when the sky dawned and the Tartars attacked back and forth, we would be finished!It's better to stay in Xingshan Jiancheng to live a few more days! "

Cao Bianjiao was furious: "Anyone who dares to shake the morale of the army will be killed! When a large army fights, we should trust our allies! What's more, our army is not doing enough to break through the encirclement and fight, so what's the use of doubting whether the allies can take the pier! The matter is now, there is only one way to survive , It all depends on the efforts of the lords to kill this way of life!"

Cao Bianjiao repeated it three times, stopped and walked within an hour, and moved ten miles closer to Bijia Mountain.He felt that it was too late, and was afraid of being overtaken by enemy reinforcements, so he finally decided to take a little risk temporarily, leaving a rear guard on alert, and then let the main force relax a little and advance at full speed.

Obviously, he is going to pretend that he can't wait to lure Erbi into a strong attack when he is short of troops-if you don't attack, I will really run away, and I won't keep imitating the "Han army leaving" The slow and alert posture of "Biden"!

As expected, Erbi had no choice. Seeing that Cao Bianjiao was impatient to escape, he didn't care that he had only [-] riders left, and rushed forward, trying to cover and kill Cao Bianjiao from behind.

As long as the morale of the Ming army is low, 1 people may be killed by three hundred riders in the dark to the point of collapse!

However, he underestimated Cao Bianjiao.

Erbi's all-out charge did temporarily cause heavy casualties among the Ming army, and even caused the Ming army to pay two or three times more casualties than the total number of the Eight Banners cavalry.

Erbi's remaining 300 or so cavalry even rushed several times, killing and wounding thousands of Cao Bianjiao's subordinates!

However, the casualties of Erbi's troops should not be underestimated. More importantly, after entering the melee, Erbi's troops were gradually stuck.

However, the Ming army was not completely in chaos. The elite main force left behind by Cao Bianjiao immediately accelerated to block the gap, and fell into close combat with Erbi. Without a breakdown, the ending is already obvious.

After a bloody battle, although Cao Bianjiao paid four times the number of enemy casualties, he killed Erbi in the rebellious army. The two Niulu brought by Erbi were almost wiped out. Some of the stragglers fled bravely to break through.

After paying a huge price to eliminate the fly, Cao Bianjiao didn't even have time to count the losses of the Ming army. He estimated that after the battle just now, his 1 men were at most just over [-] left.

Fortunately, without the enemy's personal harassment, the whole army can speed up. Some soldiers even discarded their heavy armor and ran forward. Finally, they saw the lights near the port of Bijiashan in front of them.

The spread of the lights is not only in the port area, but some have extended to several miles outside the port, and even the sound of killing can be heard.

Fortunately, because there were a lot of torches, Cao Bianjiao saw a battle flag in the shape of a Ming Dynasty planted in the middle of the fires closest to him. Although he couldn't read the words on it, he could at least confirm that it was friendly reinforcements.

And the other party has recognized him, and sent scouts to respond: "Cao Junmen is here! My general and Li Junmen have been waiting for a long time! My general is still lining up outside Hong Kong to help you carry Er'er!" The three Niu Lu who were forced to be transferred back from Takahashi! Hurry up and kill the enemy army together before we can board the ship!"

Cao Bianjiao's spirit was lifted, and for the first time tonight he shouted to his back with full confidence: "Brothers! Kill the Tartars in front of you! Have you seen the fire in the water village! When you get there, you can board a boat and retreat to survive. !"

After walking all night, the already exhausted ten thousand Ming army saw the brightly lit port in the distance, and heard that the port had been captured and the sea ships were waiting to pick them up and retreat. The three Niulu transferred back from the south by Erbi rushed forward.

These three Niulu are now led by Shi Luhu, the leader of Erbi's command. In fact, there are more than 600 riders in total, because dozens of riders were killed in the fight with Li Tongtai the day before. Dozens of them died, so the lack of organization was severe.

He originally fought back and forth with Zhang Mingzhen's 2000 people in a tight formation, and later Hongyi Cannon.It is said that with the elite of the genuine Eight Banners cavalry, it is not difficult to fight against four times the number of Ming infantry.

However, Zhang Mingzhen and Li Fuming were supporting him on the flanks, making it impossible for Shi Luhu to use his full strength.Moreover, he rushed sixty miles to the battlefield from between Tashan and Gaoqiao, so he was exhausted, and he was dragged into a situation of chronic blood loss, unable to make a breakthrough at all.

At this moment, Zhang Mingzhen was in front to intercept, and Cao Bianjiao was behind, leading [-] soldiers of the Ming army who had no physical strength but had an extremely strong desire to survive, rushing towards them.Under the front and back attacks, the three Niu Lu led by Shi Luhu finally fell into the situation of boiling soup and Wo Xue, and were directly smashed to pieces.

During the bloody battle, when Shi Luhu tried to distance himself and retreat, he was targeted by Zhang Mingzhen, who commanded the musketeers to shoot at the big fish. Shi Luhu was shot several times and died on the spot.

Zhang Mingzhen killed and dispersed the enemy army, and stepped forward to cut off the head of Shiluhu. Only then did he see Cao Bianjiao's banner among the visitors, and he stepped forward to greet: "Cao Junmen, hurry up and enter the port, let the wounded and the brothers who have worked hard just go first. In addition, you have to leave a new force to guard the pier for an hour. We have done so much for your army, and we have already contributed enough, and we didn't use it in the first place."

Cao Bianjiao was grateful in his heart, and quickly patted his chest to assure: "That's natural! Your army is so righteous that it traveled thousands of miles to meet our army's retreat! In the end, it was our army and Li Junmen who guarded the pier to buy time!
You brothers from Jiangnan cannot be allowed to take this risk again.However, I seem to have heard that there are Hongyi cannons on your ship?For a while, we guarded the pier to delay time, and hoped to continue to use Hongyi cannons to provide assistance from the sea.

It is estimated that it is impossible to spend an hour safely. Azig's main force and Jierhalang's two Jiala will definitely arrive within an hour.Tonight we fought to the death, but in fact we only defeated the two Jiala of the Tartars. "

Two Jiala, the full number of cavalry is only three thousand and eight banners. In fact, these troops are not full, and there are only more than 2000 cavalry.So tonight, Zhang Mingzhen, Li Fuming, and Cao Bianjiao joined forces for a night of bloody battle, and defeated more than 2000 Eight Banners cavalry, killed more than 1000 cavalry, and more than [-] traitors and Mongolian soldiers.

Azig can bring at least 2000 Eight Banner cavalry over, and Jierhalang can also send more than [-].Together, it is six or seven thousand and eight banner cavalry.

If we were to fight to the death with the elite cavalry of the Seven Thousand and Eight Banners, Zhang Mingzhen, Li Fuming, and Cao Bianjiao added up to more than 2 Ming troops, which would not be enough for the opponent, so we must not have any field battles with the opponent.
