Chapter 983: Battle Liao River (5)

A bullet grazed Adali's cheek and flew by, Adali cursed a few words in his mouth, and did not stop the speed of the impact, the Manchurian Eight Banners cavalry is best at charging and archery, and its cunning and ferocity in shooting bows and arrows are no less than Mauser guns, but it is a pity that he is leading the Han Eight Banners, and there is a big gap in this regard.

Adali had clearly seen the Ming army in front of them, they did not have war horses, which showed that the speed of these Ming troops would not be very fast, and in the process of fighting, the cavalry had a huge and natural advantage over the foot soldiers.

Adali was a little excited, he was no longer afraid of the artillery of the Ming army, no matter what, it was impossible for the Ming army to bomb itself, there were so many Ming troops in front of him, so that the artillery of the Ming army was useless, and this was the moment when the fight really began.

Adali rushed in front of a Ming army, the bow and arrow in his hand instantly penetrated the chest of the Ming army, watching the Ming army fall in pain, Adali's eyes showed a look of ecstasy, the so-called invincible Ming army in the world, it is nothing more than that.

Adali began to shout loudly, asking the sergeants to fight bravely to kill the enemy, although it was said that the cavalry at the front of the charge was no more than 10,000 people, and some may have been lost in the process of charging, but there were still tens of thousands of foot soldiers behind the cavalry, once the Ming army that had landed on the shore was defeated and firmly controlled the river bank, the battle would be reversed in an instant.

It's a pity that Adali thought too easily, and the Ming army that had already logged in was far from being as weak as he imagined.

Adali was not able to come and go freely, charging in the formation of the Ming army, his face soon began to turn pale, because just after the cavalry rushed over, the Ming army quickly began to assemble into a square shape, raising the spear in his hand high to block the charging cavalry. Many cavalry were caught off guard, and were instantly poked by spears, and more cavalry slowed down the speed of the charge, and looked at this formation that was specially designed to deal with cavalry with some fear.

The sound of guns and bows and arrows whined, and the Ming army, mainly the revitalized sergeants, kept firing Mauser guns, while the cavalry under Adali kept firing bows and arrows. There were casualties on both sides.

At this time, Adali was not particularly anxious, after all, there were tens of thousands of foot soldiers behind him, and these foot soldiers joined the battle group, and the situation of the entire battle would change significantly.

A quarter of an hour passed, the number of Ming troops who landed on the shore increased, more gunshots rang out, the cavalry of the Han Eight Banners was a little unable to support it, and Adali's eyes were a little red. He didn't understand why tens of thousands of foot soldiers hadn't been able to kill yet, after all, it was only five miles away, and the cavalry was less than a quarter of an hour faster than the foot soldiers, and the cavalry had been fighting for such a long time, and at this moment, the foot soldiers joined the battle, and they could instantly decide the outcome of the battle.

Adali ordered Tong Tulai to command the battle, and he rode his horse to the rear, he wanted to see how far the foot soldiers were.

This action of Adalie is very strange. He didn't need to do such a thing at all, just let the herald go and give the order. After all, he is the commander, at the beginning of the fight, the charge was at the front, and the fight was also the first, and the shock to the sergeants under his command was still very great, even if it was the cavalry of the Han Eight Banners with low morale. It can also fight for its life.

But Adali turned the horse's head and headed towards the back, and the meaning was different.

The cavalry of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty did not have much fighting spirit, but the commander Adali charged at the front, so everyone followed the charge. The momentum of its charge, so that these sergeants' instinctive temper exploded, at the beginning of the fight, there are still some overwhelming shock, with the deepening and continuation of the fight, the momentum of many cavalry of the Han Eight Banners is slowly fading, many people are just coping with the fight, after shooting a few arrows then moved the place, and did not really charge.

At this moment, Adali turned his horse's head and headed behind.

Tong Tulai, Bayan and others knew, Adali went to see why the foot soldiers behind him hadn't caught up and killed, but the other cavalry sergeants didn't know, they took it for granted that Adali was thinking about being the first to evacuate, abandoning them here, and fighting to the death with the Ming army.

The fight that persists is definitely a dead end, the Ming army is so strong, even the most elite cavalry in the Eight Banners is also annihilated, and Prince Yu Duoduo is also killed, don't talk about them.

"Brothers, let's not give our lives to the Tartars, the commanders have abandoned us, let's run away......"

The sudden shouting was particularly clear.

Some of the Han Eight Banner cavalry were stunned for a moment, as if they didn't know what choice to make, Tong Tulai and Bayan and others were pale, and their mouths kept roaring, trying to find the person who shouted these words, but the situation on the battlefield was extremely chaotic, and they couldn't find who shouted at all.

That is, in an instant, the situation on the battlefield changed, and some of the Han Eight Banner cavalry who were fighting suddenly turned their horses' heads and began to flee, which was an obvious escape, Tong Tulai and Bayan and others began to chase and kill these cavalry who tried to escape from the battlefield, but their stop had no meaning, and more cavalry began to leave the battlefield and scatter and flee.

The dissatisfaction of the Han Eight Banners with the Manchus completely erupted at this moment, although they did not defect on the spot, but they escaped from the battle, and the consequences were equally serious......

Wang Xiaoer and Wu Sangui saw this scene happen with their own eyes, they only hesitated for a moment, and then issued the order to attack.

The cavalry of the Han Eight Banners has begun to evacuate on a large scale, although some of the Han Eight Banner soldiers fled in the left and right directions, but more of them evacuated in the direction they came, Wang Xiaoer and Wu Sangui both knew that the Han Eight Banner soldiers stationed here were definitely not only cavalry, but also a large number of foot soldiers, the cavalry had begun to flee, as long as they followed behind, it would definitely affect the rest of the foot soldiers, and the army's pursuit of victory was likely to lead to a complete rout of the Eight Banners Army.

Adali didn't know that the battlefield ahead had undergone a great change, he did chase after the foot soldiers behind, it turned out that the cavalry began to charge, the foot soldiers slowed down, marched slowly, not in a hurry to fight, plus Adali brought all the officers and sergeants to the front to rush and kill, no one would urge these soldiers to march quickly.

Before Adali could lose his temper and kill someone, the herald came to report with a drastic change in his expression.

Hearing that the cavalry in front had been routed, the Ming army launched a full-scale charge, and Adali was stunned.

At this moment, Adali felt the cold to the bone, he knew that everything was over, the cavalry had a certain advantage in the face of the infantry, if the cavalry could fight with the Ming army in front, then when the cavalry arrived, cooperate with the cavalry to launch a comprehensive charge, and there was the possibility of winning the battle, but the cavalry was defeated, relying only on the infantry, it was impossible to resist the attack of the Ming army.

It is an indisputable fact that the morale of the Eight Banners Army under the command of Adali is low.

Just before Adali came to his senses, the sound of horses' hooves was already heard in front of him, and it was needless to say that this was the cavalry of the Han Eight Banners who had quickly withdrawn.

Adali's face was the color of iron, and he was ready to kill the sergeants who fled at the front, so as to deter the other fleeing cavalry, reorganize the offensive, and stop the all-out charge of the Ming army.

"Brothers, the Ming army is too powerful, don't send it to death, withdraw ...... quickly"

"Brothers, don't give your life to the Tartars......"

"Brothers, we are ...... the opposite"

The shouts came one after another, making Adali's face pale, and his body began to tremble, he clearly saw the hateful gaze in the eyes of the soldiers of the Han Eight Banners, these soldiers of the Han Eight Banners, not only were they humiliated, but even their families were sometimes difficult to escape, Dai Shan, Dolgon and Zilharang were all worried, and they didn't know if the soldiers of the Han Eight Banners would defect on the battlefield.

I'm afraid this scene is about to happen.

"Whoever dares to rebel, Ben Shuai will kill whoever he wants......"

Adali roared as hard as he could, and his roar made many of the sergeants stunned for a moment, but another voice that terrified Adali appeared.

"Kill Adali, let's go to the Ming army to ......"

Adali has his own soldiers around him, and there are many officers and sergeants of the Eight Banners, but at this moment, everyone's faces are not bloody, they know very well what may happen next, if the sergeants of the Han Eight Banners really rebel, with the strength of a few of them, there is no place to die.

The first to move was a cavalryman of the Han Eight Banners, who raised the steel knife in his hand and rushed towards Adaali.

But the sergeant was quickly shot with a bow and arrow, and fell to the ground screaming.

This scene finally aroused the anger of the soldiers of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty, prompting them to explode completely.

Countless bows and arrows were shot at Adali and the others, and they had no place to dodge, although it was said that these bows and arrows were very likely to hit some of the soldiers of the Han Eight Banners, but no one retreated.

Adali and the others soon became hedgehogs.

Next, Tong Tulai and Bayan were also shot into hedgehogs by angry foot soldiers, and Zu Dashou, Li Guohan and Jin Li and others also could not escape the fate of being shot.

At this point, all the banner owners of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty were killed.

Han Baqi completely reversed.

The cavalry of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty has been united with the foot soldiers, and they are about to completely defect.

Wang Xiaoer and Wu Sangui, who led the soldiers to rush over, saw this scene.

The sergeants of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty had already laid down their weapons, and most of the officers in the Eight Banners Army had been killed, and only a few of them realized that the situation was wrong and fled quickly.

Wang Xiaoer and Wu Sangui's next task is how to settle these surrendered Han Eight Banner soldiers, there are more than 70,000 people, and it will take time for such a huge team to be properly settled.

The Battle of Liaohe ended in such a way that Wang Xiaoer and Wu Sangui could not have imagined it.

But later the emperor concluded that where there is oppression, there will be resistance, just like the rogues back then, the people who couldn't survive were forced to rebel, and the Han people were bullied in the Qing Dynasty, and it was normal for people to defect. (To be continued.) )
