I, the Ming Dynasty, can still save me

Chapter 597 The Final Showdown
With Fei Yingdong and E Yidu leading [-] Baya soldiers as the vanguard, Nurhachi set off from Jiudaoling and cut off the Ming army's cavalry along the way, leaving the Ming army unaware at all, and finally reached the front of the Ming army's formation.

"kill!"

Looking at the Ming army leaning on the fence half a man high, Fei Yingdong and Er Yidu took the lead and rushed towards the fence of the artillery position.

"Bang bang bang!"

The precious reaction time just now allowed the Ming army to be slightly prepared, and many soldiers in the Beijing camp had already loaded their gunpowder.Under the command of their respective corps commanders and sentry officers, these Yaowu soldiers fired at the rushing Jianlu soldiers and horses based on their daily training instincts, and then quickly retreated, allowing those behind to step forward and continue shooting.

The whizzing projectiles flew in front of Fei Yingdong and others, concentrating on the Jianlu who was close at hand. Many Baya soldiers were shot one after another, making muffled sounds.

But except for a few who fell to the ground in critical areas, most of the Baya soldiers wearing double armor or even triple armor didn't care how serious their injuries were. As long as they could charge, they would charge forward without hesitation. Their goal was to reach the bright future. Within the military formation.

Seeing that the Jianlu soldiers and horses who were not afraid of death had rushed within ten steps, Guo Zuoguang also panicked for a moment.

He looked back and saw that twenty feet away, Sun Yingyuan took advantage of the critical moment when they were blocking Jianlu, and had already called on other soldiers and horses to form a three-section firing array as the second line of defense.At the same time, he also shouted to the many artillerymen behind him to pick up their weapons and prepare to defend themselves against the enemy.

"Guo Zuoguang, try your best to stop me."

Sun Yingyuan also knew that time was tight and called Guo Zuoguang to buy him time.

After hearing Sun Yingyuan's order, Guo Zuo also knew that the situation was urgent and it was not the time to discuss casualties. He must not retreat now. They must be given enough time to prepare, otherwise it will be too late.So he turned around and shouted:

"The front row has blunderbuss and spearmen to catch the enemy, and the back row continues to shoot!"

After hearing Guo Zuoguang's words, everyone under his command also took action. At this moment, Fei Yingdong and others had already rushed to the fence.

Even though they saw spears and blunderbuss in front of them, and blunderbuss shooting from behind from time to time, everyone was not afraid. They rushed into the spear formation and climbed over the fence with all their might.

In order to facilitate the shooting and observation of the Krug cannon, the fence is not high, only about four feet.The Baya soldiers at the front easily climbed over the fence and rushed into the crowd of Ming soldiers.

But before they could react, they saw several spears stabbing them head-on, piercing their bodies heavily. Blood flowed down from the barrels of the spears, causing the prisoner at the front to feel so much pain that he fell to the ground unwillingly.

But even if they deal with the first wave of Jianlu soldiers who rush in, it is useless. There are too many Jianlu soldiers and horses. They are not afraid of death. They easily cross the fence and rush into the Ming army formation that blocks them. Guo Zuoguang's department is responsible for With only more than 1000 people, they could only resist and suffered heavy losses.
But even with such sacrifice, Guo Zuoguang's resistance still provided Sun Yingyuan with valuable training time.

Guo Zuoguang saw that the soldiers and horses behind him were almost ready, so he immediately ordered his troops to retreat.

"Ignore them and rush to the gate of the Ming Army's camp! You have to be fast!"

Fei Yingdong and others, who had just been entangled by Guo Zuoguang's troops, saw the Ming army retreating to both sides and immediately ordered to leave them alone.They also saw the soldiers and horses assembled by Sun Yingyuan, and immediately understood the Ming army's plan to stop them.

But now time is precious, it is too late to let them move forward, and the Ming army will not let them go. The only way now is to attack.Thinking of this, they looked at each other, then drew their swords and continued to fight forward.Behind him, Nurhachi came with a large group of troops and poured into the Ming army's artillery position like a tide.

The Krug artillery position was not far from the Ming army's camp. Chen Liangbi and others heard the shouts of killing in an instant.

"That is how the matter?"

Seeing the cry of killing suddenly rang out, everyone present looked over there.Everyone present was a veteran of the battlefield, and they could tell what was going on at a glance.

"No, there's a Jianlu raid!"

"We also ask Governor Chen to take refuge as soon as possible, and the Beijing camp will be sent out to resist the Jianlu sneak attack."

He Shixian, Tan Mian and others in the surrounding area were a little panicked when they knew that this time the Jianlu were afraid that they had bad intentions, and that they were able to ambush for so long and attack under their noses. When they saw this, they all gave up their hands and let Chen Liangbi retreat first.At this moment, Sun Yingyuan's messenger also arrived.

"Report, report to the Governor and all your lords, Sun Shen of the Yaowu Army will report, saying that the old slave led his elite troops to attack in a sneak attack. Please come to the rescue as soon as possible, Lord Governor!"

Hearing the words Nurhachi, everyone was mentally prepared, but they were still surprised, and some people looked at Chen Liangbi in unison.

Chen Liangbi immediately stood up and looked in the direction of Sun Yingyuan, his face also solemn, and his heart was filled with surprise and joy.What was shocking was that the old slave actually put himself in danger and wanted to settle the matter and reverse the situation in a battle.Fortunately, this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. He was originally worried about attacking Jiefan City after Saarhu City was defeated, but then there would be another twists and turns.

But I didn't expect that the old slave would actually deliver it to my door. It really took no effort at all.

"Haha, okay, okay, since I personally took action and wanted to reenact the Battle of Saarhu, I really think we are vegetarians. Where are He Xiong and Heshun!" "The general is here!"

He Xiong and He Shun immediately came out and bowed.

"Now that Jianlu is right in front of us, the situation is critical. The two of you quickly mobilize [-] soldiers to rescue Sun Yingyuan. It is bound to delay Jianlu and not let Jianlu advance even half a minute, so as to buy time for the mobilization of soldiers and horses in the Beijing camp!"

This was what He Xiong and Heshun were waiting for. After hearing this, they immediately handed over their hands and said yes, and then left immediately.After Chen Liangbi finished speaking, he looked at Cao Bianjiao, who was guarding him on his left and right. Seeing the look in his eyes, he also said aloud:

"Cao Bianjiao, you also follow Heshun and others!"

"Look at it, Mr. Governor, I will capture Nurhaci for you this time!"

Cao Bianjiao was overjoyed when he heard this. Since coming to Fushun, he has not sent many troops and has long since faded away.Now seeing the Jurchen soldiers' success in Sarhu City, they are more eager to fight.Therefore, when I heard that Chen Liangbi actually asked me to send troops, I was overjoyed and immediately bowed my hands and went down.

After Heshun and others finished their instructions, Chen Liangbi turned his attention to the generals in the Beijing camp.

"Tan Mian, the commander-in-chief of the Yaowu Army, Lu Qin, the commander-in-chief of the Wuyi Army, and Yang Guozhu, the commander-in-chief of the Wuxiong Army."

"The end is here!"

"The three of you quickly mobilize your troops and horses, go out from the west gate and the north gate respectively, and surround Nurhachi's troops. Don't let him escape."

The generals originally thought that after the city of Sarhu was captured, the Jingying camp would fight against Nurha when they attacked Jiefan City.But now that Nurhachi has come in person, everyone is excited. It seems that they can't escape this great achievement.

"Humble position is ordered!"

After the three of them finished speaking, they immediately turned around and set off, for fear of delaying their flight.Then Chen Liangbi also set his sights on He Shixian.

"Congratulations to Commander-in-Chief, Lao Nu's surprise attack will definitely boost the morale of Daishan's army, and also shake the morale of the Jurchen camp in the city. Therefore, I would like to trouble you to lead your people to Sarhu City to take command. You must let the Jurchen camp, Sichuan soldiers and Chieftain soldiers, don’t be disturbed by him, capture Daishan!”

"Haha, thank you very much Governor Chen. This opportunity is something that Mr. He could not ask for, so don't worry. The next time we meet, you must bring Daishan's head to see you!"

After these instructions were completed, most of the people on the base platform were gone, leaving only Chen Liangbi and Amin, Mang Gurtai and others who were watching the game.

He watched Heshun, He Xiong, Cao Bianjiao and others leading the cavalry from the cavalry battalion file past in front of him, rushing towards the artillery position.Chen Liangbi then turned to look at the two of them.

"Commanders on the left and right, the three of us just watch here and see who is better, Da Ming or Lao Nu."

Listening to this, Amin secretly complained. During the great victory of Sarhu, he had followed Nurhachi in the attack.Therefore, Nurhaci's sneak attack immediately reminded him of the great victory three years ago, and he couldn't help but worry about what would happen if Nurhaci reversed the situation.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but suggest to Chen Liangbi:

"Sir Governor, there is a saying among Ming Dynasty scholars that the son of a rich man will not sit down in the hall. Now the Jianlu army is standing by. You are the commander of the first army and it is related to the safety of the three armies. It is too dangerous here. How about we go to the camp? How about watching the battle.”

When Chen Liangbi heard this, he glanced at the two of them. Although he knew that Amin and Mang Gurtai were still afraid of Nurhachi, he still disdained their fear in his heart.How could he not know that it was extremely dangerous here, but he certainly couldn't retreat now.

One thing is that both the Ming army and the Jianlu are watching him now. As soon as he enters the camp or leaves, if the Jianlu spread rumors that he is afraid of fighting and ran away, the morale of the army will be in chaos. It will be troublesome to restore military morale.

Second, judging from the reaction of everyone just now, the Ming army that had already reacted saw Nurhaci arriving. Not only did they not panic, but they were a little excited, and they all wanted to take down Nurhachi.This shows that the Ming army is now ready with morale and momentum, and is not afraid of Nurhaci's sneak attack at all. Therefore, it also gives him full confidence that Jianlu will be captured today.

"Why panic? We are just watching here. Today I want to see who is more powerful, Nurhaci, or my Ming Dynasty. The defeat of Saarhu three years ago has always left me with a stick in my throat. Today I will definitely use this stick. The thorn has been removed!"

It seemed that their Governor Chen had made up his mind not to leave, and A Min and his wife did not dare to say anything more, so they could only say yes.

But now outside Sarhu City, everyone's eyes and energy are focused on the Ming Army's artillery position on the left wing, and even all spare troops are gathering here.

Nurhaci also arrived with [-] elite troops and followed Fei Yingdong and E Yidu to attack Sun Yingyuan's tribe.The Jianlu army was not afraid of death, and Sun Yingyuan's troops who were engaged by the enemy were in danger.
