Chapter 244: Collision
About two miles away from the small hillside, a Goshha approached Huang Taiji's side and said with a flattering smile: "Master, our people have reached the foot of the mountain, and that small hill can run up with just a few whips, and then we can know who is on the other side." ”
Huang Taiji put down the clairvoyant mirror in his hand and turned his head to say something, when suddenly another low gunshot rang out in front of him. Huang Taiji, whose face changed, hurriedly raised the clairvoyant mirror and leaned his eyes over, although this clairvoyant mirror from the West is not very good in terms of visibility and clarity, but it is already very good for people in this era.
Huang Taiji can clearly see from the frame that with the intermittent gunshots, there are constantly cavalrymen in white armor falling from their horses, and the most important thing is that these gunshots are not like the rows of guns in his impression in the past, but intermittently continuous, giving people very great psychological pressure, because you don't know when the next gunfire will sound and when to take your life.
"Could it be that the Jiang Ning Army that the second brother said earlier? How could their firearms be so far and accurate? ”
Looking at the Houjin cavalry that kept falling at the foot of the mountain in front of him, Huang Taiji was surprised and distressed, you must know that this time he came to greet his relatives, he brought the best vest soldiers in the Zhengbai Banner, not those auxiliary soldiers or cannon fodder soldiers who can be consumed at any time, and saw with his own eyes that in less than half an hour, dozens of cavalry of a Niu Lu fell, according to this speed, it would be good to wait until they rushed to the top of the mountain This Niu Lu can be left with half of it.
"Are those Ming troops on the top of the mountain the Jiangning army that the second brother said? How many people are there? Why are they sniping at our troops at the top of the mountain? In just a short moment, several questions flashed through Huang Taiji's mind.
Just hesitated for less than half a minute, Huang Taiji immediately said to Goshha beside him: "Kali, you send another Niu Lu to search along both sides to see if there are any Ming troops along the way, remember to be fast, understand?" ”
"Huh!" Goshha said yes and immediately went down.
When this Goshha went down, another Goshkha Ting horse ran over, and when he came to Huang Taiji, he dismounted and knelt down very neatly before and after he said loudly: "Master, the two Fujin please come over." ”
"Fu Jin invited me over?" Huang Taiji was stunned, and then his face changed, and he scolded angrily: "How did you slaves serve the two Fujin, didn't you serve so that the two Fujin were frightened?" ”
Huang Taiji was angry, Goshha was so frightened that he kowtowed again and again: "The master is angry, the slave is bold and does not dare to let the two Fujin be frightened, it is really the sound of the fire gun that is suitable was heard by the big Fujin and the side Fujin, and the two Fujin asked the slave to come over and invite the master over, presumably to ask about the matter." ”
"Humph!" Looking at Goshha, who was so frightened that he kowtowed to the ground repeatedly, Huang Taiji snorted coldly in anger, and rode his horse to the back. Seeing that Huang Taiji was gone, that Goshha got on the horse and chased after Huang Taiji.
Huang Taiji rode his horse to a large car with gorgeous decorations at the back of the team, lifted the curtains next to the car, and suddenly revealed two pretty faces, one large and one small. Sitting in this big car are the two Fujin of Huang Taiji, Borzigit Zhezhe and Borzigit Mubutai.
Borzigit Zhezhe is twenty-six years old this year, she has given birth to two daughters for Huang Taiji, she is in the best years of a woman, and a delicate girl next to her still has a trace of baby fat on her face, she is just married to Huang Taiji less than half a year after the marriage of Borziji Bumutai, which is commonly known as the big jade in history.
After seeing that the curtain was lifted, the second daughter with a worried look on her face looked at Huang Taiji outside the window and said in unison: "Lord Belle, what happened outside, how can there be the sound of fire?" ”
Huang Taiji looked at the second daughter with a worried look on her face and comforted: "Bumu Butai, Zhezhe, you don't have to worry, it's just that a small group of Ming troops has been found in front, and I have asked Kali to send people to expel them, I believe that it won't be long before those Ming troops can be wiped out." ”
"What...... Ming army? ”
As soon as Huang Taiji's words fell, Da Yu'er and Zhezhe shouted almost in unison. At the same time, the second daughter's face turned pale.
The term Ming army is too far away for them.
Although they all know that their husbands and the main opponent of the Houjin country is the Ming Dynasty, but in the past, they have only heard this word in the mouths of the descendants or those Fujin and their relatives who walk with them, in their accounts, the former giant of the Ming Dynasty has long been the twilight of the West Mountain, and in the face of the rising sun, the Houjin can only be defeated and retreated, and most of the news they hear every day is how many Ming armies have been destroyed by the Houjin, how many cities have been captured by the Ming army, and how vulnerable the Ming army is, Some people have even taken the combat power of the Ming army as a joke.
But recently, they have heard some rumors that Daishan's Zhenghongqi and Amin's blue-clad flag suffered a defeat a few days ago, losing many people, and the angry Great Khan also punished two people for this. This time, Huang Taiji took their aunts and nephews to the Horqin tribe to marry Da Yu'er's sister Hai Lanzhu, the purpose of which was to appease the Horqin tribe, which also suffered a lot of losses, and strengthen the ties between the two sides.
"Lord Belle, this is the depths of the prairie, how can there be a Ming army?" Da Yu'er grabbed her aunt's hand and looked at her husband who was twenty years older than her in horror.
"Yes, Lord Belle, could it be that these Ming troops are here for us?" Zhezhe also looked at her husband a little nervously, and kept twisting a mandarin duck handkerchief in her right hand.
Looking at the frightened second daughter, Huang Taiji could only comfort: "You two don't guess, it's just a small group of Ming troops, our Jurchen warriors are invincible in the world, and we can solve it soon." You stay here in peace, and I will immediately take people to expel those Ming troops. ”
"Hmmm! Beyle, be careful! ”
After comforting the two daughters again, Huang Taiji lowered the curtain and instructed the more than ten Goshha and the maids beside the cart to serve the two Fujin well, and then he rode his horse and rushed to the front, because he had already heard the sound of fire in front of him still continuing, which proved that the battle ahead was still continuing.
It's just that the change in the battle situation is too unexpected for Huang Taiji, and as soon as he returns to the front of the formation, he feels a slight tremor from the ground, and then a sound of horses' hooves begins to come.
At the same time, Dai Shan also hurried over and said eagerly: "Eighth brother, there are cavalry rushing towards us in front, the number is about a thousand people, you are the chief general appointed by Father Khan this time, now you have to make a decision, whether to fight or retreat?" ”
Looking at Dai Shan with an expressionless face, Huang Taiji knew why he had this expression, just now Dai Shan had already made a suggestion but was vetoed by himself without hesitation, and now he is using this way to tell himself, the path you chose by yourself will be finished with tears.
Glancing at Dai Shan lightly, Huang Taiji said expressionlessly: "Since the Ming army is coming to send them to death, then I will fulfill them." Since you also said so, second brother, then I won't be polite to you, and I will borrow your two cows to hire them first. ”
After that, he shouted loudly without waiting for Dai Shan to speak: "Kali! ”
"The minions are here!" Goshha, who had been following Huang Taiji's side closely, hurriedly stepped forward and knelt on the ground and hit a thousand.
"Send all the remaining four Niu Lu out and kill all those Ming troops. Also, I want to keep the leader of the Ming army alive, but I want to see if he has three heads and six arms, and dares to come to the depths of the grassland to attack my Houjin army. Huang Taiji's tone was full of a trace of anger that could not be concealed, after all, whoever is attacked on the way to welcome his relatives will be so angry that he wants to cut people, and it is rare that Huang Taiji can endure it and has not been angry in public until now.
"Whoa......
Listening to Huang Taiji's orders, Dai Shan on the side was also helpless, Huang Taiji had just sent out the last two Niu Lu in his hand, but he could only watch but couldn't say anything against it, who let him say it just now, Huang Taiji, as the main general of this welcome, naturally has the right to mobilize all the horses here.
The rumbling sound of horses' hooves was getting closer and closer, and Huang Taiji and they could already see the appearance of the incoming army in front of them with the naked eye. The red armor, the red cloak, the shields that glistened in the sun, and the cavalry that lowered their bodies and crouched on horseback, these cavalry were not densely formed, but rather rather loose.
"Second brother, is this Jiang Ningjun?" Looking at the Ming army that was murderous towards him, Huang Taiji showed a strange look in his eyes, in his eyes, the performance of these Ming troops can only be said to be unsatisfactory, the formation is not rigorous enough, not to mention, the formation is also quite jerky when the formation is changed, if you really fight, the four Niu Lu under your command can completely annihilate them in two quarters of an hour, and the only thing that can amaze him about this Ming army is that they are wearing iron armor that wraps their whole body.
"That's them." Dai Shan's resentful voice came from the side, after more than half a month, he saw the Ming army that caused him heavy losses, how could Dai Shan's mood get better.
"Second brother, it was this Ming army that defeated you and Amin?" Huang Taiji asked again.
"Exactly." Dai Shan, who was asked twice in a row, was very annoyed and angry, and snorted twice before he snorted angrily: "Old eight, I guess you won't listen to what I say now, but I can only tell you, don't underestimate Jiang Ningjun, especially be careful of their firearms, otherwise I won't blame you for not reminding you." ”
"Oh, I'd like to see how powerful those firearms you are talking about."
Huang Taiji is cautious, and it stands to reason that he should be careful after being warned by Dai Shan, but human beings have a characteristic that they will have a suspicious attitude towards people or things they have not seen. In Huang Taiji's opinion, the cavalry of the Ming army in front of him had nothing to praise at all except for being better equipped. As for the firearms that Dai Shan said, he didn't see them at all, and if it was the three-eyed guns for cavalry, they should have been shown long ago.
Just when Huang Taiji was suspicious, the distance between the four Niu Lu horse armor soldiers who were photographed by Huang Taiji and the Ming army on the opposite side had been reduced to less than 100 meters, and the golden Tartars raised their longbows and put on the arrows, pulled the bowstring full, and the sharp arrows were aimed at the Ming army in front.
"Shoot the arrows!"
When the two sides were fifty meters apart, the Tartars released their bowstrings.
"Whoosh ......"
A rain of arrows shot towards the Ming army.
"Raise your shield!"
"Aggressive ......"
The Ming army who rushed over did not fight back, but raised the shield in his hand to protect the head of himself and the war horse, as for the torso of himself and the war horse, he could only resign himself to fate.
However, it turned out that the quality of the plate armor that Yang Feng made for Jiang Ningjun was as good as ever, and the high-strength steel plate with a thickness of two millimeters was enough to resist most of the arrows except for the bed crossbow. So although the Tartars used armor-piercing arrows that were three or two heavy, the arrows that hit the shields and cavalry armor were still bounced away, and most of the cavalry survived the first round of arrows, except for some unlucky ghosts who were shot by arrows on their horses.
Due to the speed of both sides, the Houjin Tartars put away their longbows after shooting a rain of arrows, and then took out long weapons such as tiger head guns and maces from behind them, as well as throwing weapons such as iron bones and throwing axes. These Tartars are the elite of the Zhenghong Banner and the Zhengbai Banner, and they are very confident in their martial arts, and they are confident that they can kill all these Ming troops in a short time.
But the sharp-eyed horse armor soldiers found that the Ming army on the opposite side also raised the weapons in their hands, their weapons were not riding spears, nor maces and other heavy weapons, but a handcuff, at this moment the muzzles of those black holes had been aimed at them, for the two cavalry that were galloping close, the distance of tens of meters could only be said to be instantaneous.
"Bang ......"
With the sound of gunshots, accompanied by streams of orange-red fire and rising white smoke, the dozens of vest soldiers who rushed to the front and were ready to teach the Ming army on the opposite side a lesson with the weapons in their hands only felt a sharp pain on their bodies, and then the whole person fell off his horse heavily.
"Fire!"
"Bang ......"
The dull gunshots continued to sound, and the Houjin Tartars let out terrible screams one after another, and fell off their horses one after another, and for a while, Houjin's formation began to become chaotic.
"Bang!"
Yang Daniu pulled the trigger, and with the firelight coming out of the muzzle, he clearly saw that a Houjin cavalryman who was less than ten meters away from him was hit by the huge impact of the lead bullet and the whole person flew up from the horse, and the whole person fell to the ground heavily, and blood came out of the mouth and nose of the Tartar who fell to the ground, and he couldn't live when he saw it. With the three lead bullets preloaded in the three-eyed firearm in his hand, Yang Daniu had already killed two Tartars, which made him extremely satisfied.
"Kill!"
Before Yang Da Niu could get complacent, he heard an angry roar from the side, and a cold light slashed down towards him from the side......
