Chapter 1071: The Battle of Panshan (1)

When Zhu Jie made strategic arrangements in Jinzhou City, Panshan ushered in another big war.

After arriving in Shengjing, without saying a word, they took out the holy decree and immediately recruited soldiers, and in less than half a month, they recruited more than 20,000 strong people and killed them directly towards Jinzhou City.

Abatai didn't dare to have any delay, after all, now Jinzhou City is in a hurry, and the day is precarious, once Jinzhou City is broken, then the entire Manchuria will really be doomed.

However, more than 20,000 people are strong, and they are only strong, these Jurchen are not too strong, and they have not participated in large-scale battles, although the Manchurian people are fierce and strong, and the armed forces are good, however, the strong is strong, you can't ask these people to have the same combat power as the Manchurian elite cavalry, it is simply impossible, these people have a fight, hunting is okay, there is no military discipline, no military literacy, that is, similar to bandits.

Abatai led the Manchurian cavalry in just three days before arriving near Panshan.

At this time, Shu Xinchen had already deployed an ambush on the plate, preparing to ambush Dolgon, who was fleeing towards Shengjing, but he didn't expect that Dolgon didn't wait, but behind him were reinforcements from Manchuria.

Shu Xinchen, who got the news, was shocked, more than 20,000 Manchurian elite cavalry, if it is really more than 20,000 Manchurian elite cavalry, it is really enough for Nanjing Zuozhen to drink a pot, after all, now Nanjing Zuozhen has gone through major battles again and again, and the attrition of troops is very serious, even if a certain number of troops are replenished, it is a big gap from the peak.

However, Shu Xinchen immediately put his mind at ease, 20,000 fine horses? If there were still 20,000 elites in Manchuria today, then Dolgon would not have to think about the Mongols asking for help, most of them would be a group of improvised rabble. What's in his mind, anyway, even if the heavenly soldiers and generals have arrived in Panshan, they must not be allowed to pass, kill them!

"The order, the artillery battalion immediately turned around, thinking of the deployment in the east, the musket battalion immediately abandoned its original position, moved to the northern foot of Panshan, and the whole army prepared for a battle, once the Manchurian reinforcements arrived in Panshan, immediately launched an attack on the Manchurian reinforcements!"

Nanjing Zuozhen was making adjustments quickly, and at the same time, Abatai and Yue Le were leading reinforcements to quickly approach Panshan.

In less than two hours, 20,000 Manchurian reinforcements arrived at the foot of the mountain.

Shu Xinchen looked at the Manchurian reinforcements under the mountain from a distance, and the big stone in his heart finally fell, looking at the Manchurian reinforcements in front of him, they were all squeezed into a lump, not even a formation, and even most of the soldiers were not dressed in armor, and were wrapped in thick robes, this was not the elite of Manchuria at all, and it was even worse than Li Zicheng's rebellion back then!

So what are you waiting for? Hit!

"Order the artillery battalion to immediately launch an artillery bombardment on the densest place of the Manchurian army! Attack with all your might! ”

Shu Xinchen gave an order, and all thirty artillery pieces were put into the battle.

"Boom, boom, boom......"

Shells continued to cross the sky and smashed into the Manchurian reinforcements, and in just a few minutes, dozens of shells fell one after another in the Manchurian camp, and the entire Manchurian reinforcements fell into a great chaos.

The northern foot of Panshan is now full of barren grass, if it is only the bombardment of solid bullets, it has little impact, but only more than ten flowering bombs have made the northern foot of Panshan blazing, wolf smoke everywhere, violent explosions, coupled with the spreading fire, so that the entire Manchurian army has fallen into chaos!

After all, these elite cavalry are not comparable to the elite cavalry of Manchuria, even the elite cavalry of Manchuria cannot help but panic in the face of the artillery fire of the Ming army, let alone a group of old hats who have never seen the world? Panic and despair spread rapidly among the Manchurian army.

"Yue Le, Yue Le, lead a step cavalry, break through in the southeast direction, give me the artillery of this group of Ming troops first!"

Abatai began to roar at this time.

Yue Le agreed, led the elite forces of the two Niu Lu, and began to launch a surprise attack on the artillery position of Nanjing Zuozhen, a desperate assault, at this time, it is the narrow road to meet the brave wins, once retreated, the reinforcements of Manchuria must collapse!

However, it is not so easy to get close to the artillery position.

There are three full-fledged musket battalions in Zuozhen of Nanjing, with 1,500 or 600 people, perhaps facing 20,000 elites in Manchuria, this musket can't play a big role, but now it's different, and now the musket battalion is facing a group of rabble without military training, paper tigers, which look a little bluffing, but in fact they are not as fierce as imagined.

Intensive rifle fire, the front and both wings of the artillery position are all protected, bullets are fired, one by one the Manchurian elite in the charge is constantly shot and falling, dead and wounded, but in a minute, two hundred corpses were thrown down on the battlefield, and the rest of the Manchurian elite was so frightened that they turned around and ran, grandma, the power of this musket is too great, it will kill you, according to such a dense bullet, and go forward, these hundreds of people, basically none of them can rush into the artillery position, they all have to die here!

Yue Le looked at the defeated Manchurian elites, and his anger jumped like thunder, however, there was no way, he also knew that these diseases in front of him were not the elite combat power of the Zhenghuang Banner led by himself at the beginning, and they were too far worse than them, and they were very different, but at least you had to withstand the first wave of attacks from the musket battalions, and all of them were scared of grass chickens in a wave of attacks, so how to fight the battle later?

"Bastard, damn bastard!"

Yue Le roared angrily and cut down the two fleeing Manchurian elites, and shouted: "Mobilize six more Niu Lu troops for me to come over and continue to attack the artillery position!" Send a message to your father and ask him to send out the main force to put pressure on the main infantry of the Ming army, put pressure on them, and attract the attention of the musket battalion! ”

It didn't take long for Abatai to mobilize a Niu Lu in one go, plus the two Niu Lu just now, it was already close to 3,000 troops.

Yue Le continued to command 3,000 elites to launch an assault on the artillery positions of the Ming army, and the musket battalion and artillery battalion did not show weakness, constantly attacking Yue Le's Manchurian elite, shells and bullets, constantly harvesting the lives of Manchurian reinforcements, and they were in disarray everywhere.

In vain, in vain, Yue Le launched five attacks in one go, in less than half an hour, five attacks, Manchurian elite casualties skyrocketed, in half an hour, the casualties were already close to two thousand, but it was just helpless to the artillery battalion and musket battalion in front of him!
