Chapter 245: Defeat
The vigilance that he had experienced in life and death over the years saved Yang Daniu's life, and feeling the great danger, he raised the round shield in his hand without thinking to block his left side of his neck.
"Phew!"
A loud bang came, and in a hurry, although Yang Da Niu protected his neck from the fate of being beheaded, the huge impact still knocked him off the horse, and the whole person fell to the ground solidly.
"Tear ......"
With the neighing of the war horse, Yang Da Niu, who was lying on the ground and didn't have time to get up, only saw a pair of horse hooves appear in sight, he didn't have time to think about it, he came to a lazy donkey to roll, just came and rolled out of a body, he felt a gust of wind passing through his cheeks, and then a pair of horse hooves stepped down heavily from the side of his cheeks and fell to the ground, and Yang Da Niu's body who was still lying on the ground could feel the vibration of the ground.
After urging the war horse to rush towards him, the golden knight did not give up, raised the weapon in his hand and cut down on Yang Da Niu on the ground again, this time Yang Da Niu no longer had time to dodge, he was wearing dozens of catties of heavy plate armor, he could only watch the other party's weapon cut down on his neck.
Just when he closed his eyes and waited for death, a loud metal impact sounded, and it turned out that two Jiangning cavalry saw him in distress and rushed over to block the opponent's weapons with heavy knives and round shields in their hands, and the two sides fought ping-pong.
Yang Daniu, who had picked up a small life, didn't dare to slack off, and rolled several times in a row, until he rolled next to his war horse, and then struggled to get up with the cover of the war horse, and only then did he see the guy who was about to kill himself one after another.
This guy is wearing a silver iron armor of the golden knight, the iron helmet has a long tail and red tassels, a white flag is stuck on the slanted tip of his back, even the horse is covered with a layer of cotton armor, he holds an iron long-handled sickle in his hand, and a pair of small eyes on a large cake face.
"White Armor!"
Yang Daniu gritted his teeth and whispered.
Yang Daniu, who is very familiar with the Houjin army, knows that the sergeants and pawns of the Houjin army are divided into three ranks, banners, infantry armor, and horse armor. Ordinary Jurchen men, starting from the age of ten, take an exam every three years, and when they reach the standard, they officially become a flag ding, followed by a step armor, and then a horse armor. On the vest is Pashku, which is selected by the winner in the vest, and the Han people call it the leader. Pashiku is the son of the generation, also known as the distribution of Pashku, which is the Xiao riding school of the Manchu Qing Dynasty in later generations. On the allocation of the Pashku is Niu Lu Zhangjing, and one Niu Lu can command three hundred soldiers.
The best and bravest of the vests were chosen as Bayara, commonly known as the White Armor Soldiers
This white-armored soldier is worthy of being the most elite soldier in Houjin, and he didn't show weakness when he fought with the two Jiangning troops, and an iron sickle danced vigorously, beating the two Ming troops to a defeated retreat, if it weren't for the plate armor that Yang Feng equipped for the Jiangning army was too strong, these two people would probably have been finished long ago, Rao is so, the chest and body of the two were also smashed with several dents by the iron sickle.
And after several rounds of fighting, the white-armored soldier casually pulled out an iron bone hanging from the saddle and threw it, and the iron bone duo weighing three catties smashed heavily on the chest of the Ming soldier, making a loud bang, and the Ming soldier was hit off the horse by the huge impact.
After the cavalry fell from his horse, the remaining cavalry was even more unable to resist the attack of the white-armored soldier, and it was about to repeat the mistakes of his companions.
"Phew!"
The iron sickle in the hand of the white-armored soldier swung, the cavalry gun in the hand of the cavalry was picked up and flew into the air, the Ming army who lost the weapon was stunned for a while, looking at the Ming army who was stunned on the spot, the white-armored soldier showed a hideous smile on his face, shouted, and the iron sickle in his hand slashed towards the neck of the Ming army.
"Bang!"
Seeing that the iron sickle was about to cut the Ming army to a different place, he heard a dull gunshot, and the hideous expression of the white-armored soldier seemed to be frozen, and the whole person became sluggish. After a long while, he slowly lowered his head, but saw that there was a fist-sized blood hole in his chest, and Bobo's blood was flowing out of his chest.
Less than five steps away from him, a faint wisp of white smoke was coming out of the fire gun in Yang Daniu's hand, it turned out that Yang Daniu took out another three-eyed handgun from the saddle and fired a shot at the white-armored soldier, at such a close distance, Ren is white-armored soldier was covered with three layers of armor and could not block the attack of lead bullets, and the lead bullets the size of small thumbs directly punched a big hole in his chest.
"Bang!"
The white-armored soldier shook it twice and then moved to the ground like a heavy sack, his eyes were round and round when he was out of breath, and he looked like he was dead, and it was estimated that he would never have dreamed that after more than ten years of body and the killing skills he had practiced since childhood, he finally fell under a small lead bullet.
Yang Daniu's eyes just glanced at the fist-sized blood hole of the white-armored soldier who fell to the ground, and he knew that this guy was definitely dead and couldn't die anymore, he came to the cavalryman who fell to the ground and couldn't get up, helped him up, frowned, and said, "Are you okay, can you fight again?" ”
"Head...... No problem! The cavalry grinned, and Yang Daniu found that there were already blood stains on his teeth, presumably from internal injuries when he was hit by Iron Guduo just now.
"Okay, I'll help you get on the horse, let's continue to fight the Tartars!"
Without waiting for the cavalryman to speak, Yang Da Niu helped him to get on the horse, and then came to his own horse, stepped on the stirrup with his left foot and stepped on the horse again, and the two continued to rush forward......
Less than a thousand meters away from the battlefield, Huang Taiji put down the clairvoyant mirror, and his face became extremely ugly at this time, although the battle between the two sides continued, he had clearly seen that his men and horses were at a disadvantage. With the continuous sound of gunfire, Houjin's cavalry fell off the horse, although the Ming army also had losses, but in general it was still Houjin's losses that were the most serious, he scattered a total of five Niu Lu, but the battle lasted less than half an hour and lost nearly half of the men and horses.
"How is that possible...... Are they all the elite of Houjin? ”
Huang Taiji muttered, his eyes showing disbelief. The battle just now simply subverted his cognition, the number of people on both sides was about the same, originally in his opinion, this battle should not last too long, as long as his own charge, those Ming troops will be immediately defeated, and then his own side will have another pursuit, it will not take half an hour to end the battle, he can't even wait to see who the leader of the Ming army is.
It's just that the results of the battle are shocking, the other side's cavalry actually used firearms, in the face of the firearms of the Ming army, the brave and invincible Jurchen warriors fell off their horses one after another, and Huang Taiji saw clearly, the firearms used by the Ming army turned out to be a short-handled firearm that had never been seen before, those Ming troops held a round shield in their left hand, and a firearm in their right hand, with the sound of firearms, there were constantly Jurchen warriors who were shot and fell off their horses. The Jurchen warriors have always fought and galloped bravely, but they are completely useless.
Looking at the Houjin cavalry who were constantly shot down and dismounted, Huang Taiji muttered, "Second brother, I understand why you and Amin were defeated last time. ”
Dai Shan grabbed his arm and shouted, "Now is not the time to talk about this, we should retreat now!" Otherwise, it will be troublesome to wait until the Ming army outflanks and then retreat! ”
"Of course I do." Huang Taiji took a deep breath, turned his head and shouted, "Kali! ”
"The minions are here!"
"Immediately order the rear formation to change to the front formation, and the whole army alternately covers the retreat, does the rear army understand?"
"Minions understand!"
Goshha also knew that the situation was urgent, and answered loudly, but before he could get on his horse, he heard a rapid horn sound from the right, and almost at the same time the same horn sounded in front of him.
Soon a Goshkhatsema came running and shouted: "Master...... Oh no, a large number of Ming infantry soldiers have appeared on our left and right sides and flanks and rear at the same time, and they are outflanking us in our direction, and they will arrive at us in a quarter of an hour at most. ”
Dai Shan's face changed, and he immediately asked, "How many people are there?" ”
"It's too far away for the minions to see clearly, but there are at least four or five thousand people?"
"Four or five thousand?"
Dai Shan and Huang Taiji's faces immediately changed, they were going to the Horqin tribe to greet their relatives this time, so they only brought more than 3,000 people. Nearly half of them are responsible for transporting the bride price and driving cattle and sheep and auxiliary soldiers, the soldiers are less than 2,000 people, after the first battle just now, the remaining soldiers are less than 1,000, if they encounter the Ming army that occupies an absolute advantage in troops, it is really possible to wipe out the whole army.
Dai Shan grabbed Huang Taiji's arm and shouted: "Hurry up, if you don't leave, it's too late!" Otherwise, we won't be able to leave when the Ming army surrounds us! ”
Huang Taiji is also a decisive person, and gritted his teeth: "Okay...... Let's go! ”
The two of them deserved to be brothers, and even retreated so tacitly, under the escort of Goshha and hundreds of Bayalas, they retreated towards the south, and the other Houjin people all ran over when they saw their masters running away.
It has to be said that the advantage of the cavalry is its excellent mobility, whether it is attacking or escaping is incomparable to the infantry, Huang Taiji and Dai Shan and his party escaped from the encirclement of the Ming army before the Ming army was encircled. Half an hour later, Huang Taiji and others, who had finally escaped from the pursuit of the Ming army, stopped, and when they counted the number of people, they found that the team of more than 3,000 people only ran out of more than 500 people, including more than 200 coats, and even the cattle and sheep and bride price were all lost there, which can be described as a heavy loss.
But...... And that's not the most important thing.
"What do you say...... You lost the two Fujin? ”
At this time, Huang Taiji's originally slightly chubby face became red due to congestion, and his whole body was trembling slightly, and his fat right hand pointed at the person who was kneeling on the ground and was speechless.
"Master...... Minions deserve to die...... Just now, the minions were escorting the two Fujin out, but they encountered a group of Ming troops who did not collect at night, and the minions suffered heavy casualties and had no choice but to ...... As a last resort...... Ran out. At the end of the sentence, the voice of the Goshha was almost inaudible.
"It's a last resort." Huang Taiji laughed angrily, and his voice became faint, "Since even the two Fujin can be lost, what's the use of this bend keeping you as a waste?" ”
"......"
With a soft sound, a cold light flashed, and Goshha, who was kneeling on the ground, covered his neck and made a "ho-ho" sound, and then a stream of blood spurted out of his neck, and the Goshha fell to the ground and convulsed for a while before quickly dying.
Only then did Huang Taiji put away the short knife and inserted it into the scabbard, and said coldly: "There is only one end for the slave who abandons the master and flees." ”
Everyone around was looking at the angry Huang Taiji in fear and didn't dare to speak, at this time Huang Taiji was like a hedgehog, whoever dared to come up would become the target of his anger.
Dai Shan looked at it coldly and didn't speak, and only after seeing that Huang Taiji had calmed down a little before he said: "Eighth brother, I think we should rush back to Shengjing right now, report this matter to Father Khan, and ask Father Khan to send troops to avenge us." ”
"No!"
Huang Taiji glared at his red eyes and shouted, "No...... We can't just go back, our trip is to welcome relatives from the Horqin tribe, and now not only can we not marry but even Fujin has been lost, what face do I have to see my father Khan. ”
Seeing that Huang Taiji still refused to give up, Dai Shan was also a little angry, and lowered his voice and said, "Then how are you going?" ”
Huang Taiji stared at Dai Shan and said in a deep voice: "This place is already very close to the Horqin tribe, I decided to rush to the Horqin tribe immediately, and take troops from Zaisang to exterminate this group of Ming troops, I must rescue Zhezhe and Bumu Butai!" ”
"You're crazy!" Dai Shan looked at Huang Taiji with the expression of a madman, "Although this place is very close to the Horqin tribe, it is also not far from the Ming army. Not to mention whether Zaisang will receive troops from us, what if we encounter that Ming army again? With less than a thousand remnants of our soldiers, it's not enough for the other side to stuff their teeth! As your second brother, I will never allow you to do this! ”
Huang Taiji glared at Dai Shan and said word by word: "Don't forget, I am the main envoy of this marriage, so you have to listen to me." ”
"Now you're not." Dai Shan sneered: "Now that you are like this, do you still want to welcome your relatives?" As your second brother, I have the responsibility to stop your death-sending behavior, come on! ”
A shout rang out next to "...... huh".
"Immediately escort Babeile back to Shengjing!"
"Huh!"
Goshha next to him couldn't help but hug up, and one of them grabbed the reins of Huang Taiji's horse and continued to the east......
"You let me go...... You damn minion, I'm going to cut you! ”
Huang Taiji's angry voice rang out......
Just when Huang Taiji was forcibly embraced by a group of Goshha and fled to Shengjing, Yang Feng also came to the battlefield where the battle had just ended......
