Ming politicians

Zu Dale's old problem still reappeared. Once on the battlefield, he always charged at the forefront and fought face to face with the Houjin Tatars. Only in this way did he feel refreshed. In addition, this time, following Chen Xinjia, all The steps are well arranged, you don't have to worry about it, and you don't have to make any decisions. It's better to fight happily on the battlefield.

The scouts found a small group of Houjin Tartars, Zu Dale did not hesitate at all, leaped forward and rushed forward, and the soldiers around him hurriedly rushed up, and when they started fighting with their opponents, Zu Dale found out, the opponent It's a real Tartar, and his fighting spirit immediately came up.

Zu Dale's fighting spirit, to a certain extent, also intensified many frontier troops. When attacking Heishan City and Yizhou City, the frontier troops mainly attacked the city, and did not really start a field battle with the Houjin Tartars. When meeting the Houjin Tartars, some frontier soldiers still felt fear. These frontier soldiers have been in the army for many years and have experienced the bravery of the Houjin Tartars. But seeing Zu Dale rushing up, they didn't have much fear Yes, follow and rush up.

Suddenly, the flintlock guns started to fire, confronting the rain of arrows shot by the Houjin Tartars. After all, the advantage of firearms was stronger than that of bows and arrows. In the beginning of the confrontation between the two sides, the advantage was biased towards the frontier army.

Hauge led the sergeants of Zhenglan Banner and Han Eight Banners, who had been waiting for the frontier army for a long time. [

Hauge had also confronted the frontier army, and he didn't think very well about the frontier army. He believed that the frontier army of Ming Dynasty was just a mob, cowardly and afraid of death. They commanded and guarded the city, so they couldn't fight in the field at all. So, after accepting the mission , Hauge spent a lot of thought, this kind of battle that can only be defeated but not won, in Hauge's view.The difficulty is simply too great.

However, after communicating with Fan Wencheng for a period of time, Hauge also began to think a lot. In the battle, there is no doubt that the overall situation needs to be taken into account, and the overall situation should not be delayed by being brave and fierce for a while.In such a situation, father would never forgive himself lightly.

After encountering the frontier scouts, Hauge held back and did not ask the sergeant to charge and kill these frontier scouts. When arranging the fight, he also asked the sergeant to retreat after a little resistance.

But Haug didn't expect it.The combat effectiveness of the frontier army is completely different from his previous understanding.

The frontier army, mainly composed of cavalry, turned their backs when charging, and did not see a look of fear. When fighting, they were not weaker than the sergeants of the Zhenglan Banner and the Han Eight Banners.When the two sides fought together, the momentum of the frontier army was also very strong.Because Baoding had the idea of ​​retreating, at the beginning of the fight, the sergeants of the Zhenglan Banner and the Han Eight Banners were at a disadvantage in all aspects.

Casualties soon began to appear, and the situation exceeded Hauge's expectations.

Hauge and Zu Dale have somewhat similar temperaments, and saw the scene of fighting.He also couldn't bear it anymore, pulled out the steel knife, stepped forward on his horse, and joined the battle group, inside his heart.He still refused to admit defeat, even if he wanted to retreat, he had to let these Ming border troops know how powerful the Qing warriors were.

Hauge sent them out to fight, which surprised the sergeants of Zhenglan Banner and Han Eight Banners. Although Hauge had ordered them to resist for a while and retreat immediately, the commander rushed forward, and they wanted to absolutely protect the commander's safety. If there is a problem with the coach, these sergeants, don't think about being able to survive.

The sergeants of the Zhenglan Banner and the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty were instantly aroused with great fighting spirit.

The fighting scene began to become more tragic.

There were only 1000 sergeants led by Hauge. Five miles away from them, 2000 sergeants led by Azig were also waiting. The main duty of these [-] men was to lure the Ming border army into the ambush circle.

The former army led by Zu Dale has a total of 5000 people, and has an absolute advantage in terms of numbers.

The superiority in numbers, coupled with the fighting spirit of the frontier soldiers, has taken the initiative from the beginning of the fight, and there have been many post-gold Tartars being cut off from their horses. Launched, it worked really well.

Zu Dale chopped down the three golden tartars with his own hands, and shouted excitedly. When he raised the steel knife again, he saw Hauge. He didn't know Hauge, so naturally he didn't know what Hauge was. However, Hauge was surrounded by a lot of post-gold tartars, all fighting hard to prevent the frontier soldiers from approaching. Several frontier soldiers who were about to shoot at Hauge were all accurately shot by the bows and arrows of the post-gold tartars. , and fell to the ground screaming.

"Tartar seeks death, your grandfather is also here..."

Zu Dale leaped towards Hauge.

Joining the battling battle group, seeing the surrounding sergeants fall one after another, Hauge began to wake up. He remembered his responsibilities. The thousand sergeants he led were mainly to lure the Ming border army. Judging from the number of He said that the Ming army had an absolute advantage and was full of fighting spirit. If he led his sergeants to resist desperately, he would not be able to succeed. The longer the fight, the greater the loss. The warriors of the Qing Dynasty still have a certain advantage, but the flintlock guns in the hands of the Ming army are too powerful. This kind of flintlock gun does not need to be ignited and can be fired at any time. If the flintlock hits, basically don't think about surviving.

The costumes of the Daming Frontier Army were different. When rushing to the battlefield, Hauge had already discovered Zu Dale, and concluded that Zu Dale was the leader of this group of Daming Frontier Army. happy.

After seeing Zu Dale galloping towards him, Hauge did not fight, but turned his horse's head around and began to retreat quickly. [

Retreating at this time, Hauge's heart is bleeding, fighting on the battlefield, this is the first time he has voluntarily retreated.

The rest of the Zhenglan Banner and Han Eight Banners sergeants also began to retreat, and some of the surrounded sergeants could not withdraw.

The Houjin Tartars retreated very quickly, the frontier army was not prepared for a while, they didn't know whether to pursue or stop, but they saw Zu Dale chasing horses, they did not hesitate and followed suit.

For so many years, when the frontier army met the Houjin Tartars, especially in field battles, they almost always retreated and fled. This situation began to appear in the Battle of Sarhu in the Wanli period, especially in Chongzhen In the four-year battle of Dalinghe, almost no Ming army was able to take the initiative to charge and defeat the Houjin Tartars.

Now that the Golden Tartars retreated on their own initiative, they couldn't hold on any longer. Many frontier soldiers and Zu Dale were in the same mood, extremely happy, eager to catch up and wipe out all the Tartars.

The battle situation of the former army was constantly fed back to Chen Xinjia.

The front army and the central army can only meet within five miles. As cavalry, this distance is nothing at all. Between the two armies, there are messengers shuttling. Therefore, Chen Xinjia has any information, and he will not Let the former army be too far away, after all, they have penetrated into the territory occupied by the Hou Jin Tartars. If they meet a large number of Hou Jin Tartars, they may be in danger.

Knowing that Zu Dashou took the initiative to charge and fight with the Houjin Tatars, Chen Xinjia nodded in satisfaction. The officer can charge ahead, which is a great incentive to the sergeant. The frontier army has taken advantage from the beginning of the attack, which makes Chen Xinjia even more excited. Glad, those previous worries are also temporarily ignored.

The army has been fighting for more than half a month, and they haven't had a field battle with the Houjin Tartars, nor have they met the established Houjin Tartars. Chen Xinjia inevitably felt strange. After meeting the Houjin Tartars, Chen Xinjia was also worried. What is the field combat capability of the army, and whether it can resist the Houjin Tartars.

The messengers kept reporting the news that the frontier army had the upper hand, which made Chen Xinjia smile. From the mouth of the messengers, Chen Xinjia knew that the number of Houjin Tartars was also around a thousand, which is not too small. The Tartars were defeated, and when Zu Dashou led the army to pursue, Chen Xinjia immediately gave the order to stop the pursuit, and the former army waited on the spot, and notified Zu Dale to report the battle situation.

The orderly rang the golden gong desperately.

The sound of gongs passed all the way, and the frontier soldiers who were chasing heard the sound of gongs.

Zu Dale, who rushed to the front, also heard the sound of the gong, muttered in his mouth, and stopped chasing.

When he came back from beating the horse, Zu Dale looked at the messenger with a dark face, and couldn't help being angry.

However, Zu Dale still didn't lose his temper. He knew that the orderly soldiers would not dare to call Jin to withdraw troops at will.

Seeing Zu Dale's face, Chen Xinjia smiled.

"Zu Dale, it was the commander who asked to withdraw the troops. It seems that you feel aggrieved. With such a good fighter, why can't you take advantage of the victory and pursue it?"

"Commander, this subordinate really sees it this way. This subordinate also found the leader of the Tartars. While he was chasing him, the commander asked to withdraw his troops."

"Hehe, this commander is worried about the safety of the former army. The former army only has 5000 people. If we encounter a large number of rogues, because the pursuit speed is too fast and we stay away from the central army, we may encounter disaster. It is not clear what situation will be encountered along the road in Guangning, which is occupied by Zizi. The scope of scouting is limited, and it is impossible to fully grasp the traces of Houjin Tazi. Under such circumstances, it is better to be cautious."

Zu Dale lowered his head and didn't speak. Anyway, he doesn't need to think about these issues.

"Zu Dale, although I didn't witness the fight just now, I know that our Daming frontier army won the victory. Tell me, is the Houjin Tartars invincible?"

There are quite a few officers in the Chinese army tent, and Chen Xinjia's questioning like this obviously has a purpose. [

Zu Dale raised his head and spoke loudly.

"Commander, this subordinate fought face-to-face with the Houjin Tartars. This subordinate thought that the Houjin Tartars were just like that, and they were not as powerful as they boasted. This subordinate also chopped down three Houjin Tartars with his own hands. . . .”

The smiles on Chen Xinjia's face grew even more. This effect was what he needed. The Frontier Army and the Houjin Tartars fought in the field, and the battle went well, which made him feel more at ease. (To be continued..)
