Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Although the phalanx in front opened fire desperately, and the first row of baggage soldiers responsible for holding shields also threw thunderbolts in front of them, causing heavy casualties to the Qing soldiers, but under the desperate assault of the Qing soldiers and the rapid impact of the cavalry,  There were still some cavalry who rushed to the front of the phalanx.

    "bump"

    A cavalryman and his horse collided with a heavy shield. The huge impact caused the two strong baggage soldiers behind the heavy shield to fly backwards.  The war horse and the cavalryman who dared to hit the steel shield with their bodies also fell to the ground, both man and horse.

    Scenes like this began to happen one after another. Although after being knocked down by a shield, other heavy soldiers would soon step forward to put the shield up. However, when focusing on one thing and losing another, it was inevitable that there would be negligence, and the Qing soldiers who were already within the range would notice  How vicious, seeing this situation, they fired arrows into the gap without hesitation.

    ¡°Swish, swish, swish¡±

    Heavy arrows kept flying towards the gap, causing the casualties of the phalanx to continue to rise. Although the riflemen behind were also desperately shooting with their rifles, the Qing army seemed to have lost their minds.  Still rushing forward desperately.

    "Hold on, everyone, hold on! We must not let the Tatars rush in!"

    A Qian Zongzong was commanding in the square formation while loudly boosting the morale of the sergeants.

    "Boom!"

    Suddenly, a heavy arrow flew from nowhere and hit his throat, and the long arrow penetrated from the back of his neck.

    With an arrow in his throat, he yelled a few times, vomiting a few unclear words from his throat, and then slowly fell to the ground.

    "My lord, my lord!"

    A President Bai stepped forward to support him and found that he had closed his eyes. He ignored his sadness and put President Qian on the ground and immediately shouted loudly: "Attention everyone, the third brigade is now under my command, everyone.  The gun is loadedaim forward, readyto fire!"

    "Bang bang bang"

    A burst of white smoke rose up along with the dull sound of gunfire.  He knocked down a large number of cavalrymen who were charging towards him on horseback.

    In the Qing army camp ahead, the officers and generals of the Qing army kept urging their men to charge, "Charge up, charge up, those Nikans can't hold it anymore, as long as they rush in, they will be finished!"

    This is a contest between hot weapons and cold weapons, and it is also a contest of wills. Only one of the two sides cannot hold on.  Immediately there will be a crushing defeat.

    Countless horses and knights fell in the gunfire, and countless sergeants were killed by arrows and throwing axes and javelins, but all of this was no longer considered by the commanders of both sides. At this moment, they only had one thing on their mind.  , that is to hold on until the other party can no longer hold on.

    Even Huang Taiji, who was watching the battle from behind, couldn't help but be moved by this tragic scene. Looking at the phalanx that seemed to be on the verge of collapse but always persisted there, Huang Taiji was shocked.  He said in amazement: "Is that Pang Gang really so capable of making the originally weak Han people so strong?"

    No one of the generals around him can answer this question. They are all old people who have had old conflicts with Qian Ming.  They knew very well what kind of virtue the Qian Ming army was like. In such a high-intensity battle, the Qian Ming army would have collapsed long ago.

    But this was not the case with this army. Not only did they not collapse, but they fought vigorously. They first defeated Kong Youde's Han Army Banner, and then faced the Xianglan Banner and Xianghong Banner led by Daishan and Azig, causing them heavy casualties.  .

    Judging from Huang Taiji¡¯s observation just now, the casualties of the two banners led by Daishan and Azig at this time have accounted for about 40% of their total strength.  Even if they can immediately defeat the Dahua Army on the opposite side, they are already exhausted, and none of them will be able to recover in more than ten years.

    But what worries Huang Taiji is that instead of showing signs of collapse, the Great Chinese Army is becoming more courageous as it fights. Is this still the scumbag army he remembered before?

    If the Ming army had half their morale.  Not to mention invading the Ming Dynasty, if the Ming Dynasty did not come to attack the Qing Dynasty, they should be laughing.

    "My God of longevity, is it true that God doesn't bless me?"

    Just when Huang Taiji looked up to the sky and sighed, Dorgon, who was on the two wings, also called Duduo.  He told him: "Dodor, until now, your main force with the white flag has not moved, right?"

    Duduo shook his head and said: "No, Brother Fourteen, I always remember your words. Those who went up just now were all the slaves in uniforms and the miscellaneous soldiers of the Eight Banners of Mongolia. Our main force stayed behind."

    "Well, that's good." Dorgon nodded, looked around again and then whispered: "Dodor, let's fight like this, no matter how the battle ends, as long as the main force of our two flags is still alive."?We'll be fine, you must remember this.  "

    "But" Duduo hesitated for a moment and then said hesitantly: "Brother Fourteen, Brother Baylor and Brother Twelve are fighting fiercely with the Chinese people now, but we are conserving our strength like this. If the emperor is the emperor after the war,  What shall we say if we investigate?"

    "You are just a fool of a brain!" Dorgon wanted to hit him on the forehead a few times, and said with hatred: "You have only seen the bitter battle between Brother Twelve and Big Belle, don't you think so?"  Haven't you seen how miserable they are at this time? Now they have nearly half of their casualties! Let me ask you, even if we can wipe out all 50,000 Dahua troops today, do you think we can destroy Dahua immediately?  "

    Duduo shook his head. Although he was not as cunning as Dorgon, he was not a fool. He replied: "Of course not. Although Dahua has not completely restored the territory of the original Ming Dynasty, it has at least ruled most of the Central Plains.  , Moreover, they have hundreds of thousands of troops. Even if the entire army of 50,000 is wiped out, they can recover quickly. Those Han people lack everything but people!"

    "now it's right!"

    Dorgon then replied: "Dahua can afford to lose, let alone 50,000, which means losing an army of 100,000 and 200,000. With their population, as long as they are given a year or two, they can recover immediately."  Come here, but what about our Qing Dynasty? All the elites of our Qing Dynasty are here. You have also seen the situation of today's battle. Even if we can completely wipe out this enemy army, we will still have to lose at least the same number of troops. You  Say, if we lose another 50,000 or 60,000 horses, will the Qing Dynasty still be able to withstand Dahua's attack?"

    Dorgon's words were like a thunderbolt that woke up Dodo, and he woke up and said: "Brother Fourteen, what do you think we should do? I will listen to you."

    Dorgon then said: "We only have one word, "drag". As long as we delay until the emperor withdraws his troops, we will retreat immediately. When the emperor can no longer bear it, he will put the positive yellow flag and the bordered yellow flag in his hand to fight with the big army.  When the Chinese army kills both sides, that's when our opportunity comes. By then, we can also avenge our mother-in-law!"

    Thinking of this, Dorgon's mind immediately flashed to the kind face of their mother-in-law Abahai. Then he thought that Huang Taiji was so good at consolidating his throne that after Nurhaci's death, he immediately falsely passed on the imperial edict to grant Abahai the throne.  Being buried with Nurhachi also made him and Dodo become motherless children since they were young. Thinking of this, Dorgon couldn't help but grit his teeth.

    "Brother Fourteen, don't worry, we will definitely avenge our mother-in-law!"

    Seeing Dorgon gnashing his teeth, Duduo also felt the same way. The two brothers lost their mother when they were young, and were bullied by other brothers. Fortunately, Dorgon was smart and self-reliant since he was a child, and not only left Nurhaci to the two brothers.  The two banners grew stronger and gradually established a foothold in the court, which made the two brothers feel proud. Even as the emperor, Huang Taiji could not suppress them at will.

    Precisely because Dorgon has been taking care of him since his mother was killed by Huang Taiji, in Dorgon's mind, Dorgon is the best candidate for the Qing emperor.

    Now after listening to Dorgon's words, Duodu felt that an opportunity had come. He shook his teeth and nodded resolutely: "Brother Fourteen, I understand. No matter how the battle ahead is, we will stay put. In Han Chinese terms,  , that is, we are sitting on the mountain watching the tiger fight, and we are sure to win but not lose."

    "Haha, as long as you understand!"

    Dorgon saw that Duduo had understood his intention, and nodded happily, waving his hand and saying: "Then you go over first, remember what you just said, as soon as the situation goes wrong and you see me retreating, you should immediately follow me.  Come on, there must be no delay, do you understand?"

    "I got it, Brother Fourteen, don't worry. Okay, I'll leave first!"

    There was a fight on the battlefield, and the people below also had their own thoughts.

    This battle lasted until the afternoon. The 15,000-strong army of the three phalanxes of the Weijiang tribe that had been on the front line had already suffered casualties of one-third of the troops and nearly 5,000 people. Azig, who had been attacking, had  The Ministry of Hedaishan was even more miserable. Under the merciless attack of Mini rifles, the two flags had a total of more than 30,000 troops and less than 10,000 people could fight at this time.

    The huge casualties finally made Daishan and Azige unbearable. Azige and Daishan came to Huang Taiji at the same time and cried: "Your Majesty, my brother's blue flag has less than five thousand people left at this moment. You  Come on, just leave some seeds for Xilanqi!"

    Seeing the two brothers who were sobbing, Huang Taiji nodded alternately. He also noticed that the opponent's military formation was at its last moment. As long as there was a new force and a slight push, they would collapse.  .

    "Okay, you guys just take down our troops and horses, and leave the rest to me!"After Huang Taiji finished speaking, he called Hauge and ordered loudly: "Hauge, last time you suffered a big loss at the hands of Wu Sangui in Jinzhou. Today I will give you a chance to make atonement. You will immediately lead Zhenglan,  The two yellow flags are attacking the enemy, and we must break through the enemy's formation in one fell swoop!"

    "Cha!"

    After hearing this, Hauge was overjoyed and immediately took the order and left
