Chapter 436: Let's Withdraw Our Troops
With the sound of rumbling horses' hooves, hundreds of galloping figures on war horses appeared in front of them.
"When the Ming army came, they immediately lined up and greeted them...... Catch up! Bomu Bogol yelled desperately.
"My lord, there are too many people in the Ming army." Someone next to him shouted, he was right, judging from the sound of horses' hooves, the number of Ming troops on the opposite side was at least three or four hundred, which was several times more than them.
"Smack!"
With a crisp sound, the horsewhip in Bomu Bogol's hand had been waved out, and the person who had just spoken immediately had a bright red scar on his face, looking at the vest soldier covering his face, Bomu Bogol gritted his teeth and said: "You coward, if I hear you say something that shakes the heart of the army again, I will cut off your head with my own hands!" ”
"Yes!"
Seeing Bomu Bogol with a murderous face, the horse armor soldiers didn't dare to say a word more, and hurriedly rode their horses and began to line up. The Manchurian horsemanship was indeed not blown, but in just a few tens of seconds, more than a hundred cavalrymen had already set up their formation.
Seeing that his own people were ready, Bomu Bogol drew his long knife and shouted: "Warriors with blue flags, the Ming people are coming to die, let us use the bows and arrows and long knives in our hands to tell those Ming people that those who dare to offend us have only one end, now let us take up our weapons and go and cut off all the heads of those Ming people!" ”
"Rush!"
"Kill ......"
More than 100 cavalrymen raised their blades and rushed towards the Ming army attacking in front, and at this time, the Ming army in front also rushed to a place less than five hundred meters away from them, and even the clothes of the Ming army on the opposite side could be seen clearly, but after seeing the dress of the Ming army on the opposite side, many people's eyes showed a terrifying look.
"It's Jiang Ningjun!"
A terrible roar rang out in the ranks.
In the midst of the exclamations, a group of cavalrymen in fine steel armor and red cloaks fluttering behind them galloped towards them, and everyone, including Bomu Bogol, had a look of despair on their faces.
Today's Jiangning Army is no longer an unknown soldier in the past, after experiencing a series of glorious achievements such as the Great Destruction of Daishan, Amin, and even the heavy damage to Nurhachi, the Jiangning Army has become a world-famous strong army, how can the team that has suffered a big loss in the hands of the Jiangning Army not know the strength of the Jiangning Army, and now seeing that the other party is a premeditated ambush, everyone has a desperate mood in their hearts.
Bomu Bogol is also an experienced officer, he also experienced the battle of Jinzhou a year ago, because as soon as he saw that the opposite side was actually Jiangning Army, he immediately understood in his heart that his side was gone. If it were an ordinary Ming army, they might be able to escape or even defeat them with the bravery of the Qing warriors and the courage to treat death as if they were at home, but if the opponent was the Jiangning army, Bomu Bogol knew that he had no hope at all.
Bomu Bogol shouted in despair: "Samr, you immediately take a team of men and horses to escape back to Gaizhou as quickly as possible, let our people immediately abandon Gaizhou and flee back to Anshan, and report today's events to Lord Mu Zhang, remember, Gaizhou can't hold it, do you understand?" ”
Samr is the vest soldier who was whipped in the face by Bomu Bogol just now, and he is also a member of the Divides Dashku (equivalent to the commander of the Ming army), after hearing Samer's words, his face showed a tragic expression, "My lord, you should take people away, I will lead people to stop those Ming troops!" ”
"No way!" Bomu Bogol shook his head, and his face showed a sad look: "As Niu Lu Ezhen, who was ordered to garrison Gaizhou, if I escaped without authorization when the Ming army came, don't you understand?" ”
Samr was also sad in his heart, the military regulations of the Manchu Qing Dynasty were very strict, if Bomu Bogol really dared to abandon the troops and run away without authorization, even if he returned to Shengjing and waited for him, it would be the result of being stuffed into a sack and trampled by the horses.
Seeing that Samr was still hesitating, Bomu Bogol shouted: "Don't go quickly, what are you waiting for!" ”
Bomu Bogol was angry, and Samr turned his horse's head and shouted loudly, and ran towards the road without looking back, and behind him were more than a dozen horse armor soldiers.
After seeing Samr leave, Bomu Bogol shouted loudly: "The sons of the blue flag, all rush after me!" ”
After finishing speaking, Bomu Bogol beat his horse hard and rushed towards the cavalry of the Jiangning army that had regained in front.
"Kill!"
Seeing Bomu Bogol rushing forward first, the dozens of cavalry behind him also followed without hesitation.
In the face of dozens of cavalrymen with crazy faces and already had the intention of dying, if they were to change to an ordinary Ming army, even if they had a numerical advantage, they would be afraid, but the Jiangning army was different, in the face of the Manchu cavalry who rushed over frantically, they raised the three-eyed handcuffs in their hands.
"Bang ......"
With a dull sound of fire, Bomu Bogol, who rushed to the front, only felt a light in his chest, followed by a sharp pain, when he lowered his head hard, he saw that there was already a bloody hole in his chest, and then he felt that the strength of his whole body was out of his body, and he fell off the horse weakly.
Faced with the baptism of buckshot, the seventy or eighty cavalry led by Bomu Bogol finally fell on the way to the charge, and this time lasted less than a quarter of an hour.
What Bomu Bogol, who had died in battle, did not know was that after eliminating their patrol cavalry, these hundreds of Jiangning troops did not stop at all but continued to advance, and soon after these hundreds of cavalry left, a group of Ming troops who could not see the end at a glance also appeared, and they were not even interested in paying attention to the corpses of dozens of Qing soldiers lying on the ground, so they rushed towards Gaizhou without stopping under the support of a group of cavalry.
In the past days, although the Jiangdong Army headed by Mao Wenlong stationed on Phi Island would also attack the Manchus from time to time, but this kind of harassment was limited by the strength of the Jiangdong Army and various reasons were destined to be only a limited harassment, and it could only be regarded as a problem of scabies for the Manchus, so whether it was the original Nurhachi or the current Huang Taiji, they only deployed a small number of troops in Gaizhou, Yaozhou, Haizhou and Anshan Liaoyang to defend. A kind of confrontation was formed with the Jiangdong army, but with the arrival of the Jiangning army, this fragile balance was immediately broken.
After resting for two days, 20,000 Jiangning troops began to set foot on the land of Liaodong, and under the leadership of Yang Feng, they conquered the three cities of Gaizhou, Yaozhou and Haizhou one after another, and then the troops came to Liaoyang City, once Liaoyang City was conquered, then Shengjing, the old nest of the Manchurians, would be completely exposed to the blade of the Jiangning Army, and at this time it was no one else who was stationed in Liaoyang City, it was Amin, the banner owner of the blue flag.
In a mansion in Liaodong City, Amin in armor held the hilt of a long knife hanging from his waist and muttered, and to his left sat several Manchu officers draped all over his body.
Looking at Amin with a hesitant look on his face, a Jia Lazhangjing said a little anxiously: "Lord Belle, we can't hesitate any longer, the Jiangning army is extremely sharp, just yesterday they have already broken through Anshan, if it is not unexpected, they will soon come towards Liaoyang, in the end, the battle is with you, you have to come out with a charter." ”
A Jia Lazhangjing next to him sneered: "Mu Zhang, what you said is light, or is it a peace." It's just that you just threw away Anshan yourself, don't you still want to encourage Erbeile to abandon Liaoyang like you? ”
Not to be outdone, Mu Zhang'a sneered: "Tuhela, don't you just want to say that I am greedy for life and afraid of death and abandon the city?" Be...... I admit that I took the initiative to abandon Anshan, but I can pat my chest and say, I, Mu Zhang, am by no means a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, after so many years, when did you see that I Mu Zhanga was afraid of death, if it wasn't for the blue flag for us to leave more seeds, I also hope to live and die with Anshan, but what about after that? What good will it do for us to set up the blue flag after I put all the men and horses in my hands together? It's just a bunch of widows who have given us a blue flag, or do you think we don't have enough people who died with the blue flag? ”
Amin suddenly yelled loudly: "Enough, you guys shut up Benbele!" ”
Hearing Amin's anger, everyone fell silent and lowered their heads.
At this time, Amin was also very hesitant in his heart, he knew very well that he was not treated by Huang Taiji, so Huang Taiji would send himself to Liaoyang when he went to Jinzhou, in order to be out of sight, but no one expected that Jiang Ningjun would suddenly kill him from the sea, but now he let himself sit on the line.
It stands to reason that as a general who was ordered to garrison from Gaizhou to Liaoyang, it was his bounden duty to defend the land, but as the owner of the blue flag, Amin could not jump into the pit with the blue flag.
You must know that after successive battles of Dry Grass Ridge and Jinzhou, the Blue Banner can be described as a heavy loss, although after more than a year of recuperation, but now all the troops of the Blue Banner add up to less than 10,000. In the Manchu Qing Dynasty, which pursues the law of the jungle, you don't have the strength to even speak in a smaller voice than others, this time Huang Taiji went to Jinzhou and took away almost all the Manchu troops, but sending him to Liaoyang is not the best proof?
After thinking about it for a long time, Amin suddenly said: "If we defend Liaoyang, can we hold it?" ”
The generals looked at each other, and Mu Zhang'a said: "Back to Bei Leye's words, let's not say whether Liaoyang can hold it, even if it can be held, how many people will we have left after the Jiangning army retreats, don't forget the power of the Jiangning army's artillery." ”
Amin was even more upset when he heard this, how could the artillery of the Jiang Ning Army be sharp and sharp in two words, and he thought that if he had exhausted the main force of the blue flag, he would probably be able to step on it alone.
After thinking about it for a long time, Amin finally made up his mind.
"Come on, gather people immediately, let's withdraw to Shengjing!"
