Chapter 1337 Under the Battle of the Ferry
The Ming army had a lot of firearms, and the entire front row of the horizontal formation was full of firecrackers, while the Jin army had few firearms, so it was inevitable that they would suffer losses in the confrontation.
After two rounds of guns of the Ming army, seeing that the formation of the Jin army was loose, the generals gave an order, and the soldiers inserted spurs one after another, and the formation was stabbed.
In an instant, the Ming soldiers, who were like a red wall, quickly crashed towards the black Jin army, and the cold weapon team in the Jin army's array also immediately met it.
Soon the soldiers on both sides rushed through the smoke of gunpowder, and they could already see each other's faces clearly, the Ming soldiers marched into the wall, and the Jin army was divided into nearly 100 cold weapon squads, which basically imitated Qi Jiguang's mandarin duck array.
The distance of fifty steps was very close, and the first row of guns of the Ming army had already raised their guns, and the spurs were shining in the sun, and the soldiers in front of the squads of the Jin army gathered their shields and approached their bodies, that is, to cover themselves and the pikemen behind.
With a "bang", the two armies collided together, and as soon as they looked at each other, the Ming army fell into a disadvantageous position.
In the front line, the Jin army only used the musket team, sandwiched by the formation of the cold weapon squad, like the keys of a piano, when firing, the musket team went forward, the cold weapons lagged behind, and when the impact, the cold weapons stepped forward in close combat.
These swords, shields and pikemen retained by the Jin army, although the firepower output was not in a hurry for the Ming army, but in hand-to-hand combat, they immediately gave full play to the advantage of cold weapons in melee combat.
In front of the Golden squad were sword and shield men, in the middle were spearmen, and the musketeers retreated to the end.
Every dozen or so of them is a team, and there is a gap between each squad, the Ming army gunners hold firearms, and attack the front with guns, the Jin army has a knife player to block, and a firecracker puts a cold gun, rushes to the gap between the Jin army squad, and there are spears stabbed from both sides.
The Ming army, which had gained the advantage in the shooting, fell into a disadvantage after rushing closer, and the Ming army in the front row immediately lost most of them, especially the Ming army who rushed into the gap between the Jin army squads, and was almost quickly stabbed to death by spearmen.
"Don't rush in!" Seeing this, a hundred households of the Ming army shouted loudly.
He is a veteran of more than ten years, this is the tactics of the Ming army a few years ago, he knows it very well, and hurriedly scolded his subordinates not to rush in.
In the Jin army array, Sheng Jiading saw the red Ming army, as if hitting a black strong, the Ming army in the Jin army frontal breakthrough, luring the enemy into the traditional tactics of strangulation, was killed and retreated, he immediately slapped a palm, and said with great joy: "Junmen, we won!" ”
As if to confirm his words, a golden sound suddenly sounded behind the Ming army, and the Ming troops that had collided with each other began to retreat.
Together, Li Laiheng, who was at the rear of the battlefield, took the guards and retreated north with the Daxu flag.
On the battlefield, the pikemen who turned to the rear were the first to turn, followed by the gunners who did not have deep contact, and then the Ming army, which was caught in the fight, also hurriedly retreated.
The morale of the 3,000 gold army was greatly boosted, how could the Ming army retreat, they rushed forward, chased and killed the Ming army, and went north.
Seeing this, the generals of the Jin Army next to "Hahaha......" laughed excitedly, and Sheng Jiading immediately hugged his fists and said: "Junmen, the whole army will pursue it!" Let's go all out and take the ferry directly. ”
Zhao Liangdong smiled, "Naturally, you have to chase it, but you can't go together!" Adjutant General Sheng, you take 2,000 men and immediately join the pursuit. Remember, no matter what happens, don't care about the back, you just rush forward and kill all the way to the Wubao ferry, which is considered a great achievement. ”
Saying that, Zhao Liangdong looked at the direction of the downhill, then stared at him, and said seriously: "Do you understand?" ”
Sheng Jiading was slightly stunned, reacted in a moment, and then solemnly clenched his fists, "Don't worry, the last general understands!" ”
After saying that, they beat their horses and left, and after a short time, more than 2,000 Jin troops followed behind the Yanchuan camp and pursued the Ming army.
Zhao Liangdong has been paying attention to the situation on the battlefield, and for him, Jin Jun's victory is a little strange.
The Ming army's best artillery did not appear, and it was too strange that the Ming army, which had an advantage in shooting, gave up its advantage and directly hedged when there was a little confusion among the Jin soldiers.
Most of the generals of the Jin army have studied the tactics of the Ming army, during the Great War of the Central Plains, the Ming army was artillery bombardment, and the platoon guns were hit until the enemy collapsed, and then the impact was carried out, and the time of the Ming army's impact today was obviously wrong, and even if it was impacted, the spearmen of the Ming army should have stepped forward decisively, but this time they did not participate in the whole battle, just ran around, like a re-acting.
Zhao Liangdong had already concluded that the Ming army must have ambushed the ambush soldiers and wanted to lead him into pursuit.
Then he followed the will of the Ming army and sent 5,000 men to pursue, leaving 4,000 people to see what the Ming army would do.
If the Ming army did not come out of the ambush, the 5,000 gold army would have taken the Wubao ferry with the Ming army, and if the ambush soldiers came out, then he would immediately assault the whole army, drag the ambush soldiers, or let the 5,000 gold army seize the Wubao ferry first.
Thinking of this, Zhao Liangdong couldn't help but have a smile on his face, he already had an eighty percent chance of winning this battle.
······
On the top of the hillside, Wang Guangtai saw that the Jin army still had 4,000 men and horses that had not moved, and his eyes narrowed.
The 10,000 Ming army was divided into three units, 4,000 were used to lure the enemy, and 2,000 were pressed ten miles to the north to prevent the Ming army from luring the enemy.
Another 4,000 men, led by him, lay in ambush behind the hillside.
The Ming army is 10,000, and the Jin army is also 10,000, and the Ming army is not afraid of facing the Ming army head-on, but the Ming army is afraid of a protracted war and a tug-of-war. Once it is too long, the Jin army in Hetao and Ningxia will be killed, and the Ming army will be finished.
Therefore, the Ming army chose ambush, a method that can quickly defeat the opponent.
"General, what now?" A Ming army of thousands of households, seeing the two thousand gold troops passing under the hillside, couldn't help but hurry up.
Wang Guangtai was very calm, "It's expected! After he said a word, he turned to look at the thousand households and ordered: "Ben will release a cannon to bombard the golden array, and you will lead two thousand men to rush down the mountain at once and attack the two thousand golden army!" ”
······
Zhao Liangdong tightened the reins of his horse with his hand, his eyes were fixed on the hillside, he didn't believe that the Ming army could calm down.
At this moment, several copper cannons suddenly pushed from the back of the hillside to the top of the mountain.
These cannons had been loaded in advance, and as soon as the Ming army pushed them up, at the moment when the Jin army found them, they ignited the medicine lead, and there was an immediate "boom" on the mountain, raising a few clouds of white smoke, and the cannonballs shot directly into the middle of the 4,000 Jin army, and suddenly there was a scream.
Zhao Liangdong's war horse was frightened, irritable and spinning, he hurriedly tightened the reins and controlled the war horse, and at this moment, there was a commotion behind the hillside, and more than 2,000 Ming troops roared, rushing towards the more than 2,000 gold troops led by Sheng Jiading.
Sheng Jiading was shocked, and Jin Jun was also flustered, but he got Zhao Liangdong's order, and even shouted: "Ignore them, give Ben will rush forward, don't rush to the ferry, don't stop." ”
The two thousand Jin troops ignored the two thousand Ming army ambushes who rushed out, exposed their backs to them, and continued to chase the Yanchang camp in front.
Zhao Liangdong, who stabilized the war horse, saw the Ming army rushing out of the ambush, and was immediately overjoyed, and while rushing forward with his horse, he shouted loudly: "The whole army is attacking!" ”
The 4,000 Jin army followed Zhao Liangdong and flocked to it, and the Jin army roared and rushed forward, killing the 2,000 volts of the Ming army.
Four thousand men and horses were killed at the foot of the hillside, Zhao Liangdong's war knife pointed to the hillside, and a golden general with three or four hundred people left the brigade to climb the hillside, to finish off a few artillery pieces of the Ming army, and he led the team to kill the ambush soldiers.
The whole station field became a root **, the front 4,000 Ming troops fled, the back 5,000 gold troops chased and killed, and then 2,000 Ming troops chased and killed 5,000 gold troops, and finally Zhao Liangdong led 4,000 people to chase and kill the 2,000 Ming troops, like a few layers of wafer biscuits.
But this is not over, there was another "boom" on the top of the mountain, Wang Guangtai led two thousand people, roared, rushed down the hillside, instantly crushed hundreds of climbing Jin troops, and then killed Zhao Liangdong.
Zhao Liangdong hurriedly reined in the war horse, he didn't expect that there was still a Ming army, but fortunately there were not many people, about two thousand, he hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Quickly line up!" Beat them first! ”
There was a mess on the battlefield, and nearly 20,000 people fought together on the nearly 10-mile-long road along the Yellow River.
Sheng Jiading led 2,000 people to catch up with the Yanchang battalion, and 5,000 people drove 4,000 Ming troops for nearly ten miles, and 2,000 Ming troops in a neat formation suddenly appeared in front of them.
Li Laiheng took the lead, galloped into the Ming formation from the gap left by the Ming army, and the Ming army behind also passed quickly, the Ming army immediately closed the formation, and the pursuing Jin army immediately fell into a situation of being attacked on both sides.
Zhao Liangdong was condescendingly rushed by Wang Guangtai, and the two sides were strangled together, and a large number of soldiers on both sides died, but there were many Jin soldiers and gradually gained an advantage.
Zhao Liangdong was secretly glad that fortunately there were not many Ming troops, and at the same time he was very anxious, wanting to defeat Wang Guangtai as soon as possible, and then hurry to the north to attack, so as not to be attacked by Sheng Jiading on both sides.
He rode on his horse and slashed left and right, stabbed a Ming soldier to death with a knife, and shouted angrily: "Quick, kill them all!" ”
At this moment, there was a faint sound of muffled thunder in the southern sky, and the dust in the distance covered the sky and the earth, and the earth began to tremble.
The fighting Jin army looked at each other, and everyone showed fear in their eyes, this was the cavalry killing, and the Jin army was most familiar with this.
"Junmen, there's a team of people behind you!" A pro-soldier slashed and killed a Ming soldier, rushed to Zhao Liangdong's side, and shouted in horror.
Zhao Liangdong's face changed greatly, and his heart felt like he had been hit hard, but he immediately understood that it must be Suide's rebels, pretending to raid Yan'an, but in fact, they came behind his back.
At this moment, four or five hundred cavalry, followed by a large group of infantry troops, had already appeared in the rear of the Jin army.
Wang Yongqiang, wearing his Ming Dynasty armor, took the lead, brandished a large knife in his hand, and shouted uncontrollably: "Kill! Wang is here! ”
Zhao Liangdong's face was so shocked that his face was like earth, he regretted it, and shouted in a trembling voice: "Retreat, break through with me!" ”
