Chapter 564: Lao Tzu Has Changed His Mind!
The musketeers finally became the straw that broke the balance on the battlefield, and the collapse of the flank of the Manchurian elite cavalry made the entire Manchurian cavalry completely collapse, and Tan Tai and He Luohui desperately restrained the army in an attempt to stabilize the situation, which was simply impossible!
The Eight Banners of Manchuria retreated frantically in the northwest direction, and along the way, all the gold and silver treasures were thrown to the ground, just to be able to escape, Cha Xuan led the Tianwei Army to chase all the way, and chased nearly fifty miles away, only to stop his footsteps and win a big victory!
"Haha, my lord, the Manchurian elite cavalry is nothing more than that, when I met our Tianwei Army, I still have to get out of the way with my tail between my legs!"
He Yan, the general of the cavalry battalion, laughed.
On the battlefield, the Tianwei army collected the spoils all the way, while placing the wounded, retreating in the direction of the Texas wharf, this battle, just the corpses left by the elite of the Eight Banners, more than five hundred, as for the wounded, it is more, conservatively estimated, the casualties are more than a thousand, this is the first tragic defeat encountered since the Eight Banners entered the customs! Of course, He Yan and the other soldiers of the Tianwei Army were excited.
However, Cha Zhu's face was extremely ugly, he glared at He Yan fiercely, and shouted: "You shut up Lao Tzu, report the victory to Brother Yifan, the army will clean up the battlefield as soon as possible, and quickly retreat in the direction of Texas, this is just the beginning, there are many big battles behind, a miserable victory, it is worth you to be so happy?" Something that doesn't make a difference! ”
Yes, the Tianwei army won this battle, but the price paid by the Tianwei army was also very heavy, three thousand fine cavalry, the casualties also exceeded eight hundred, it was completely a thousand kills and eight hundred, this is also a matter of no way, the opponent's strength has the upper hand, and it is also the elite of the Eight Banners with outstanding combat power, and it is already a fluke to be able to win a big victory, if there is no surprise attack by a hundred musketeers, whether they can win this battle is between the two, you know, This is the most elite cavalry of the Tianwei Army, and it is still so difficult to win in the face of the elite of the Eight Banners, so what about the next big battle? The other towns of the Tianwei Army don't have such strong cavalry!
Cha Xuan's heart is heavy, now the Manchurian Tartars are not only the elite of the Eight Banners, but also the help of strong enemies like Ning Tieqi, the total strength has even exceeded 150,000 people, the Tianwei Army does not have the upper hand in terms of strength or individual combat strength, and wants to hold the first line of the Daimyofu, Dezhou, and Jinan Mansion, but it is not so easy, Brother Yifan, whether it can be done or not depends on you......
Hejian Mansion, Duoduo looked at He Luohui and Tan Tai, who returned from the fiasco, shocked and angry, these two people led four thousand Manchurian elite cavalry, not to mention sweeping the world, but as long as they are not caught in the siege war, there are not many large armies that can confront them, even in the face of tens of thousands of Ming troops, they definitely have the strength to fight, I didn't expect that they would be beaten so embarrassed!
"Tan Tai, He Luohui, you two waste, what else do you have to say? The army has just left the capital, and now you haven't killed Zhili, you have been beaten by others, and you have lost your troops, and you two still have the face to come back? ”
Dodor roared viciously!
Tan Tai and He Luo will be pale, what else can they justify? Four thousand cavalry, there are only more than 2,000 people who returned to Hejian Mansion safely, including a lot of wounded, nearly half of the casualties, in the case of superior troops, or in the best field battle, the Ming army was defeated and lost, which has never been encountered in decades of war against the Ming! Since Taizu Nurhachi raised his army, how could he have suffered such a big loss? What a shame, what a shame!
"Lord Wang, the two of us have nothing to say, it's a shame, we have lost the face of Taizu and Taizong, and the reputation of the Eight Banners has been ruined in our hands, although we have no complaints!"
He Luohui was very simple, he didn't even have a word of justification, he directly asked for death for his crimes, it's too embarrassing, do you still have the face to live?
"Want to die? You two think it's beautiful! ”
Duoduo shouted angrily, "Even if you want to die, you will die for this king on the way to charge, and kill you with the knife in Lao Tzu's hand, this king is still a waste of strength!" The order was that He Luo and Tan Tai would be demoted two levels, stay in the camp and make meritorious contributions, and the battle report would be immediately submitted to the imperial court and asked the regent to discuss it! He Luohui, Tan Tai, don't say that this king won't give you a chance, in the next big war, give Lao Tzu some real skills, make meritorious contributions, and make great contributions, naturally write it off, if the battle is not effective, this king will really be ruthless! ”
Whether it is Tan Tai or He Luohui, they are all famous Manchurian generals, and they are the right-hand men of Duoduo's expedition, and they will be killed directly, it is impossible, Duoduo is not so lacking in heart, although he does not know much about politics and strategy, but he is definitely a handsome man and proficient in the control of the soldiers under his command, even if Duoduo is angry, he can only swallow this breath of hatred and steel, and make plans in the future.
Hearing this, the two of them hurriedly knelt down to thank them.
Duoduo waved his hand and shouted: "Okay, don't talk so much nonsense, get out of the way for Lao Tzu, and talk in detail about the experience of this defeat, why it made people fight so badly!" ”
Tan Tai said astringently: "Lord Wang, this time we have suffered a big loss, I have to say, the combat power of the cavalry of the Tianwei Army is so strong, it is better than the Guanning Iron Cavalry, we four thousand elite cavalry all the way south, intercepted all the boats along the way, and escorted them to the capital, on the way, the soldiers are also plundering all the way, immediately and everywhere there are spoils of war, because of the looting everywhere, the entire formation has become scattered, and the cavalry of the Tianwei Army near the Caoyun Wharf in Texas has no time to prepare for the battle. The soldiers participated in the battle with a body of fragments, and as soon as they fought, they let the family give a slap in the face, and we naturally could win the battle when encountering the ordinary Ming army, but in the face of strong enemies, these fragments have become a burden, and the formation is loose, how can we block the opponent's strong assault? ”
Duoduo's face darkened, wiped it, he didn't expect that this defeat was a loss of wanton looting, whether it was the regent, or he had promised the soldiers that as long as they won the battle, whether it was a siege or a land, they could let go of looting, but they didn't expect that the first defeat was because of this! How can this be blamed on Tan Tai and He Luohui?
He Luohui said the same: "Lord Wang, the combat power of the cavalry of the Tianwei Army is completely beyond our expectations, not to mention the two blue flags, even if the two yellow flags are facing them head-on, they may not be able to gain the upper hand, our four thousand cavalry, the opponent is more than three thousand, and when we fight, we actually suppressed our forwards, although Tan Tai and I responded urgently and finally stabilized the situation, but we have lost the opportunity......"
"What? You say that 4,000 elite cavalry were defeated by 3,000 cavalry? Dog, you two shit! Lao Tzu has changed his mind, and he will cut you now! ”
