Chapter 196: Only Dead Tartars Are Good Tartars
The two disagreed, although Luo Luohun's status was higher than that of Aobai, but Aobai was a cronie of Huang Taiji, and he was also a soldier and horse with a yellow flag directly under Huang Taiji, Luo Luohun could not control Aobai, so in the end, the two discussed, Luo Luohun was responsible for defending the city, and Ao Bai led three thousand Qing cavalry of the Aliha Chaoha battalion with yellow flags out of the city to line up, and the two cooperated inside and outside to block the attack of the Great Chinese Army on Jinzhou.
So after the agreement, Ao Bai led the troops to line up in the southeast direction outside the city of Jinzhou, and opened a posture to give the Dazhong army a head-on attack when the Dazhong army came.
Through the scouts, Li Xin soon learned about the arrangement of Jinzhou Jiannu, so he immediately adjusted the soldiers and horses, and ordered a division of infantry to advance slowly in the southeast of the city, attracting Ao Bai to lead the army to attack.
He led another infantry division and an independent artillery regiment to advance southwest of Jinzhou, protruding forward and covering the right flank.
Although Ao Bai also experienced the fiasco of the Battle of Shanhaiguan, but he did not directly fight with the Dazhong army, although he also knew that the Dazhong army was very sharp, but he still firmly believed that these Jiannu cavalry under his command were the most powerful soldiers and horses in the world, and no one could stop their assault, not even the Dazhong army.
As the two armies slowly approached, Ao Bai looked from afar, and saw that the Dazhong Army adopted a horizontal formation, and the horizontal formation of the Dazhong Army only had five rows of soldiers on each floor, and there were only three layers in front and back.
Ao Bai was a little excited, but also felt a little insulted, which was too much to put their Jiannu army in his eyes, seeing the big Chinese army slowly coming, and pretending to play a small drum, the formation was neat, but Ao Bai felt that the big Chinese army was pretending to be pretending, so Ao Bai did not wait for the big Chinese army to arrange the array, so he immediately ordered to launch a full-line charge, he personally led the troops behind the palace to supervise the battle, and ordered the Jiannu soldiers under his command to fight to the death without retreating, in order to directly break through the front of the big Chinese army, and crush the soldiers and horses of the big Chinese army in one fell swoop.
But if anyone dares to retreat without authorization, he will kill him immediately, so after a trumpet sounded, more than 3,000 Jiannu horse armor soldiers began to put on armor with the help of the followers, and led out their war horses, tightened the belly belts of the war horses, checked the weapons on the war horses, bows and arrows, ropes, and then began to turn over and jump on the horseback.
These vest soldiers with yellow flags are their proud capital, these people have basically all been out of production over the years, do nothing, were raised by Huang Taiji, specially used as soldiers, combat effectiveness is very strong, and the quality of equipment is also very good, each person has at least one set of chain mail and a set of iron armor, some generals are also wearing a set of cotton armor outside, which can effectively resist the attack of the Ming army's fire or birds, the impact is very powerful, it can almost be called a heavy cavalry, even their war horses, They are also basically covered with a layer of bulletproof thick felt, and the key parts are also decorated with raw cowhide, which has very strong protection.
With the order of Aobai, the three thousand slave soldiers began to urge the sitted war horses, so that the war horses began to start slowly, and then gradually accelerated.
Seeing that the Jiannu cavalry got on their horses and began to start, the infantry division of the Dazhong Army who was responsible for dealing with them also stopped advancing under the order of the division commander, and with an order, thousands of infantry rushed out from the back of the team, these infantry basically belonged to pikemen, but today they each carried a log with two sharpened ends, a length of about two meters, and a diameter of about ten centimeters.
When the Jiannu began to start, these large infantry carrying two pointed logs quickly rushed to the front of the team and spread out towards the two wings, and it didn't take long to poke all the logs in front of the formation.
In a matter of moments, in front of the Great and Medium Army Front, a forest of low wooden stakes was formed, and all of these wooden stakes had their heads sharpened and pointed obliquely to the front of the formation.
At the same time, these pikemen also crouched down one after another, erected their spears diagonally, and hid in this stake forest, which increased the density of the stake forest, and formed a gun forest combining stakes and spears.
This time Jiannu's cavalry realized that the trouble was big, they originally planned to rush up directly, even if they were shot by the Dazhong Army's platoon guns and paid some casualties, they also relied on the advantage of speed to rush into the defense line of the Dazhong Army, as long as the two armies took over, the firepower advantage of the Dazhong Army could not continue to be brought into play, and the rest was their unilateral slaughter of Jiannu.
Although this method of warfare is cruel, but it is very effective, when Jiannu was dealing with the Ming army, it can be said that this way can be said to be tried and tested, and the Ming army that can fight every time loses its armor and loses a big defeat.
Even if they knew before that the Dazhong Army used pikemen to cooperate with musketeers, they also expected that the number of pikemen in the Dazhong Army was not large, even if there were pikemen in front of the formation of pikemen, as long as they dared to fight, even people and horses collided with them, they could still easily tear through their defense line and rush into the formation of the Dazhong Army, although they had to pay a heavy price, but as long as they could achieve their goal, Aobai would not regret this loss.
But today, seeing that the Great Chinese Army suddenly created a forest of wooden stakes, it is beyond the scope of his cognition, how should this battle be fought next?
It is obviously not easy to rush over, but now that they have started the Jiannu army, if they don't rush, they will have to collect the troops immediately, and the morale will be boosted, and now the troops will be collected, and the morale will be greatly drained immediately, and it will not be easy to agitate again, and the large Chinese army seems to have been prepared for a long time, and it is likely that he will not be given another chance to organize a charge, and now he has not seen a lot of artillery of the large Chinese army.
Once the artillery behind the Great Chinese Army is also pulled up after a while, then they will definitely lose this battle!
After looking at the arrangement of the Great Chinese Army, Ao Bai said with a heart: "Rush for me!" No matter what's in front of you, give me a flat on them! Kill all these damn barbarians! ”
So a large number of Jiannu soldiers had no choice but to continue to urge the war horses and rush towards the front of the Dazhong Army, but in front of them was a forest of spears mixed with dense wooden stakes and spears, which made the Jiannu soldiers feel terrified, but even so, they could only rush up.
As a loud order was issued, the musketeers of the Great Chinese Army began to reload in a hurry, and the columns began to approach the positions behind the spear forest.
Someone loudly reported the distance of the Jiannu cavalry, and when the Jiannu cavalry rushed to the front of the line of the Dazhong Army, it was the distance of the standard platoon guns of the Dazhong Army.
As the commander's command knife fell hard, a row of white smoke immediately rose from the front of the Great Chinese Army......
A war horse as if hit a wall of air, suddenly, and then even the people and horses overturned to the ground, although the cavalry and war horses of Jiannu are wearing armor as protection, but they still underestimate the power of the fire guns of the large army.
After the lead bullet of more than ten millimeters caliber flew over a distance of dozens of meters, it hit the horses and cavalry hard, a layer of thick felt and a piece of raw cowhide, or the armor on the Jiannu soldiers, was suddenly torn by lead pellets like paper paste, and hit the bodies of the centaurs, and then immediately tore their flesh and broke their tendons and fractures, killing them in an instant.
However, these slaves were fierce enough, and they had expected such a blow, and as soon as the men and horses in front fell, the men and horses that followed closely behind immediately jumped up and jumped over the fallen men and horses in front of them, and continued to rush forward.
The distance of seventy steps seems to be relatively far, but after the war horse is started at full speed, it does not take much time, although the gun platoon tactics of the large Chinese army can ensure the density and continuity of firepower, but it is only enough to release a round of three-stage strikes.
At this time, Aobai's men and horses had already reached the front of the stake forest, and the war horses were driven by the fierce Jiannu cavalry, and crashed into the stake and spear forest.
And there were many Jiannu who started to shoot arrows one step in advance, shooting the pikemen in front of them, and many pikemen fell to the ground even if they were hit by arrows, but they fell, but the stake did not fall, and still pointed in the direction where Jiannu killed.
A blood flower immediately rose in front of the spear forest, and the mournful neighing of countless war horses and the screams of people suddenly resounded in the sky, and one war horse after another was suddenly poked in front of the battle by this thick layer of wooden stakes and spear forest.
A large number of Jiannu immediately fell in front of the spear forest, and some people were directly pierced to death on the spear, but what disappointed Ao Bai was that they still failed to break through the stake and spear forest in one fell swoop, but more and more people and horses were squeezed in front of the stake forest.
Many Jiannu rushed to the front, seeing that they could not cross it, they could only struggle to hold the reins of their horses, and more and more Jiannu began to be squeezed together, forming a chaos in front of the large Chinese army array.
The officers in charge of the command of the Great Chinese Army showed a cruel smile on their faces one by one, and after waving their hands and dropping the command knife, a black spot was thrown out by many infantry of the Great Chinese Army, and fell like rain on the crowd of people and horses in front of Jiannu.
Immediately, only a rumbling explosion was heard among the Jiannu cavalry, and thunderbolts exploded among the Jiannu crowd.
Countless Jiannu cavalry screamed and fell off their horses, and all kinds of shrapnel scattered in all directions, wantonly harvesting lives in the crowd......
Ao Bai was stunned and took the war horse, watching the cavalry under his command in front of him cut to the ground like mowing grass by the bombers and platoons of guns of the Dazhong Army, he didn't expect that the simple impact battle would be like this, he thought that the Dazhong Army front that could be easily broken through, but it was as difficult to shake as a rock, but it was these once indestructible Jiannu cavalry that he was proud of became the object of slaughter by the other party.
At this time, the cannon sound began to sound again behind the front of the Dazhong Army, and the cannonballs fell into the battlefield with a roar, opening a bloody alley among the crowd of Jiannu.
Even Ao Bai lost the will to fight again, and ordered to turn around and withdraw to Jinzhou, but at this time, on the right side of the Jin soldiers, a large army had already advanced to the right flank of the Ao Bai department, and set up a row of cannons, aimed at the chaotic battlefield, a gunner saw the group of Jiannu cavalry behind the formation from a distance, and saw that there was a big flag erected among them, it seemed that there was some important person, so this gunner after careful observation, calculated the shooting yuan, adjusted the muzzle and aimed at the group of Tartar soldiers.
At the officer's order, one of the gunners struggled to put the torch on the fire door, only to hear the roar of a cannon, and the shells in the chamber of the cannon immediately flew out, only towards the group of Tartars who were in a hurry to retreat.
Ao Bai never thought that someone would target him at this time, let alone that his luck would be so good, nearly two miles away, someone would aim at him, and when he was about to turn his horse back to Jinzhou, a cannonball cut through the air at a speed visible to the naked eye, and flew towards him with a whistling speed.
Ao Bai didn't even have time to dodge the horse, and the cannonball smashed into his left leg as if it had an eye, tearing his left leg and the war horse he was sitting on to pieces on the spot, and the waist of the entire war horse was torn apart, and the horse's intestines, internal organs, and flesh and blood immediately scattered and flew away, and even the spine of the horse was torn apart, and it was sprinkled all around.
Ao Bai only felt a shock all over his body, his left leg flew up as soon as it hurt, and he fell heavily to the ground, struggling to sit up dizzily, but when he saw that his left leg disappeared from the part below the thigh, he felt a sharp pain attack, so he fell to the ground and let out a wolf-like howl.
The artillery commander who is responsible for aiming, I'm afraid I can't think of it, he inadvertently aimed this time, actually took shit luck, can be at such a distance, a cannon to concentrate the general of the slave soldiers, for the accuracy of the cannon in this era, I really don't know whether his life is good enough, or Aobai's life is weak enough, in short, this cannon will take Aobai's life, those white-armored soldiers around Aobai are brave, although they saw Aobai injured and fell to the ground, but did not flee by themselves, but dismounted to rescue Aobai, and fled on horseback.
That night Ao Bai because of the injury was too serious, he died in the city of Jinzhou, in this era, with the medical level of the Tartars, if you want to save Aobai, at least you have to break out of Aobai's character, it just so happens that Aobai's luck has been used up on this day, unfortunately after returning to Jinzhou City and whining and wailing for a long time, finally a leg stretched, or hung on the spot.
But the battle outside the city, with Aobai's wounded, also came to an end, 3,000 yellow flag Aliha Chaoha battalion vest soldiers, under the heavy artillery fire of the large Chinese army on both sides, suffered very heavy casualties, and finally less than 1,000 people fled back to the city of Jinzhou.
After defeating the Aobai Division, Li Xin immediately waved his army to surround Jinzhou City, and immediately built fortifications, and organized the engineer battalion to build various siege equipment on the spot and began the siege operation.
Luo Luohun was already wounded, and the Jiannu army in the city also witnessed the destruction of the Aobai department, morale was very low, after barely resisting for five days, Jinzhou City was still announced by the Dazhong Army, the main general Luo Luohun finally chose to commit suicide in the city, only more than 1,000 people of thousands of Jiannu soldiers in the city finally broke through from the north of the city and fled to Fuzhou, and the rest of the nearly 20,000 soldiers and civilians in the city, after the Dazhong Army broke the city, most of them were slaughtered, and a small number were captured by the Dazhong Army.
In this Northern Expedition, Xiao Tianjian specially explained to the Ministry of War, for military discipline, you can turn a blind eye, this is not to deal with their own Han people in the country, and they can't leave any mercy for these Tartars, so after the generals of all departments got the general order of the Ministry of War, they all laughed treacherously, basically in addition to normal military discipline, they all turned on the green light for any rape, adultery and plunder, and killing and abusing prisoners, so that the officers and men of the Dazhong Army who fought in Liao suddenly became a beast army, and the place where they passed can be described as a scorched earth. It also made Jiannu experience what it means to be murderous.
Although this will cause a large reduction in the population of Liaodong, but in the eyes of Xiao Tianjian, the emperor, such a Tartar, one less to die, the best to die, in the future, if the Central Plains regime wants to firmly control Liaodong, it still has to rely on a large number of immigrants to Liaodong, otherwise these Tartars are also unstable.
And Xiao Tianjian hated Jiannu Tartars, and many years ago, he published in the army many times: "Only dead Tartars are good Tartars!" So much so that the soldiers and men of the military are familiar with their emperor's remarks, so after entering the Liao War, these soldiers who have been disciplined and suppressed for a long time have burst out with enough bestiality one by one.
(Today, I was surprised to see my old friend Hu Lulu brother give me a huge reward, I am really grateful!) In addition, there are two brothers, Hong360 and Rabbit 1, which made me very moved! Either way, I'll write a good ending to this book!
In addition, about the new book, I have been busy preparing for the past few months, but because of the subject matter, three copies have been killed! It's a little depressing! These days I'm waiting for the editor-sama to review the fourth book! It is estimated that there is still more luck than luck! The editors seem to be demanding of me! I also hope that the new book will be uploaded, and I can dedicate a better readable book to everyone! )
