Chapter 374: Survival
The leader of the Houjin army, the Zhenglan Banner Jia, was holding his arm that had just been split by a saber and asked his subordinates to bandage him.
At this moment, he already felt that something was wrong, he really had never seen such a "Ming army" in front of him, even those Sichuan soldiers and Zhejiang soldiers that he had encountered on the side of the Hunhe River many years ago, they were not so ferocious.
Facing the "Ming Army" in front of him, he had never heard of it, and even encountered this kind of murderous cavalry fighting style for the first time. He also felt a little chill in his heart.
There is also the handgun that can fire continuously, which obviously looks like just a tube, but it can shoot several projectiles in a row like a three-eyed gun, and even doubles the single ammunition of a three-barreled firearm like the three-eyed gun.
This made him think of the taboo name that circulated in the army - Chen Xin.
He had already heard some remnants of the soldiers who had returned from North Korea say that Chen Xin's men were equipped with a kind of handcuffs that could fire continuously, so why did the "Ming army" he encountered now have such weapons that he couldn't understand?
Unfortunately, at this moment, he no longer has time to think about this problem. A small part of the Houjin cavalry under his command was still fighting with those Ming troops.
Not far away, the same group of cavalry that had charged them several times just now had stopped and reloaded their handguns.
Although the group of cavalry was also quite tired, the formation was not too fast, and it seemed that it would take a long time for the handcuffs in his hands to be installed, but he still couldn't be careless.
He tilted his head to the other side and glanced at the position in front of him, where the dense infantry array of the "Ming Army" was advancing here.
Seeing the orderly infantry formation on the opposite side, he once again remembered the tragic scene of the Hunhe River. Vaguely, there are other legends about Chen Xin.
The Ming army in front of him, judging from the news heard from the other Niu Lu places where the Zhenglan Banner fled back from North Korea, seems to be like this.
Whether it was the Ming army he encountered during the bloody battle of the Hunhe River, or the team under Chen Xin, it was not easy to provoke, not to mention, in the cavalry battle just now, he had already suffered heavy losses, and the soldiers had no heart to fight.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but tremble in his heart, and began to roar loudly to greet his scattered subordinates, asking them to quickly assemble and prepare to flee back to Jinzhou to defend it.
However, where is there such an easy thing, Zakdan took the risk to send out the cavalry troops, that is, in order to leave this group of Houjin cavalry behind, how could they escape easily?
At this moment, the rangers wearing the coats of the Ming army are still constantly harassing, which makes the Houjin cavalry constantly running around and busy coping.
The roar of revolvers, flintlock rifles, pump-action rifles and other weapons on the battlefield drowned out the sound of horns blown by the heralds under his command, and the Houjin cavalry was still in a state of confusion and could not extricate itself.
Goshha, who was beside Kala Ezhen, suddenly said to him, "Master, look over there. ”
Goshha said and pointed in the direction of the north.
Sweating profusely, Ala's head stopped urging the heralds and turned his head to look in the direction Goshha was pointing.
Over there, the three columns of the "Ming Army" cavalry had already regrouped within about 200 paces.
"How can it be so fast?" Jia La'e really couldn't help but exclaim, he didn't know that when the Huaxia military was training, its requirements for assembly speed were perverted.
And the soldiers who are accustomed to this kind of high-intensity queue training, even when they are on the battlefield, the memories formed all year round will make them subconsciously and quickly complete the queue assembly, and there is no need for the officers to make more adjustments.
A loud military horn sounded from the opposite side, and the group of cavalry arrays began to jog again, and the rangers of the "Ming Army" also retreated towards their infantry arrays.
At this moment, he didn't think much about it, according to the estimation of the losses caused by the impact just now, the enemy's way of playing, as long as he came two more rounds, he might not need two complete charges, and his own men and horses would have to be lost.
In Houjin, the population is the weight of power in the hands of the various banner owners and Baylors, and once the loss is too great, his master will definitely kill his dog.
What's more, at this moment, he no longer has the confidence to win, and the idea of "running for his life" has occupied his brain, and now he must get out of here quickly.
However, now that the cavalry occupies the road in the north direction, if he wants to escape to Jinzhou, he must pass through the blockade of the group of cavalry in front of him.
He looked at the hills on both sides and thought that if he escaped from the hills on both sides, the enemy who took the official road would easily rush ahead of them and block them.
If you can escape, then it's nothing, after all, nothing is as important as your own life.
However, if you walk in the hills, the team will also become completely scattered on the complex terrain, unable to form an array.
Moreover, when the time comes, the speed of your own cavalry cannot be increased, and these enemy cavalry occupying the pipeline, directly attacking from one side, it will be a disaster, and in the cavalry duel, the side attack can be more deadly than the frontal charge.
Therefore, at this time, even if he himself is no longer willing to face those crazy people, he will have to fight them again.
Moreover, what is even more disadvantageous is that the enemy's infantry array that has rushed from that side is no longer less than two hundred paces away from him, and now he must leave here as soon as possible, and there is only a dead end to stay.
This Huang Taiji, who re-established the Blue Banner after Amin became self-reliant, is also a veteran of a hundred battles, and after quickly thinking of a way, he immediately arranged it.
He shouted to the two Goshha beside him, "Blow the trumpet, follow those who can follow, those unlucky ones who were dragged by the enemy rangers, don't wait any longer, everyone, follow the banner, everyone rush together, don't go too far." ”
The conch horns of the Houjin cavalry emitted a "woo" sound, which was really loud during the time period when the two sides officially broke out of contact.
The banner of Jiala Ezhen moved towards the north, and the officers in the team, such as Niu Lu Ezhen, Pashiku, and Daiko, let out a hissing and lung-breaking howl together, causing the others nearby to follow the banner closely.
"All keep up, and if you can't keep up, try your best to hold back the enemy, as long as you are loyal, the master will not treat your wives and children badly, and you will definitely give them a bite to eat, so that they will not starve to death."
"Which bastard dares to defect to the enemy, don't say that the army will bypass you, even if it is the master, he will not let go of your family members at home, think carefully, don't do stupid things."
"Rush, rush, rush, as long as you rush past the cavalry in front of you, you can live."
