Chapter 33 Internal strife

Ao Bai was brave enough but lacking in strategy. After being ambushed, he didn't know what to do for a while. Fortunately, at this time, one of his leaders reacted quickly and shouted: "Cut with a knife."

The horse in front, drive the horse forward!"

His idea immediately reminded everyone that there were war horses in the front, and the owner of the horse was dead in battle. The soldiers behind immediately stabbed the horses' buttocks with their swords. The horses were frightened in pain, raised their hooves, and rushed forward desperately.

Guarding the opposite side is a shield formation formed by infantry. If a person is on horseback and charging, he will be afraid and see the spear exposed by the shield. He will definitely be nervous and will inevitably slow down. But now

There was no one on the horse, and the charging horses were all frightened. They couldn't stop anywhere, and they could only rush forward as if they were lifeless.

Soon, I heard the sounds of "Peng!" "Peng!" "Peng!"... kept ringing.

The war horses collided with the shield phalanx, and the first group was stabbed to death by the spears thrust out. However, the group that rushed after them did not wait for the first group of horses to fall, and they had already rushed to the horses.

The force was very powerful. Under the fierce charge, the soldiers with the shield obviously couldn't hold on anymore. Many people felt a huge force and were knocked to the ground.

"Charge!" "Kill!"...

The Tatar soldiers saw an opportunity to take advantage of them and there were no war horses in front of them, so they mustered up their courage and moved forward with a killing call.

As they rushed forward, a series of gunshots rang out from behind the tents on the left and right, "bang bang bang"... The Tatars on the outermost edge fell to the ground in a row.

However, the phalanx in front has now been rushed away. There are casualties and casualties. There are no undead people in a battle. Just look after yourself first.

The Tatars pushed forward hard, and the soldiers who were blocking them saw that all the shield bearers fell to the ground. They were so frightened that they fled left and right. The Tatar soldiers swarmed past and went straight to the gate of the camp. At this moment, they saw that the gate of the camp was slowing down.

After slowly closing the gate, a few soldiers took care of the gate and then fled away.

When they arrived at the gate of the camp, some Tatar soldiers quickly dismounted and opened the door. After all, horses could not rush through the gate. At the critical moment of opening the door, the Tatars discovered that a large number of spearmen were rushing over from both sides.

Since ancient times, spearmen have defeated cavalry, but depending on the circumstances, it is still difficult for spearmen to withstand the charge of cavalry on the plains. However, in this situation, it can fully reflect the impact of spearmen against cavalry.

Advantages of cavalry.

The Tatar soldiers were blocked by the camp gate and could not charge forward. The so-called advantage of the cavalry was gone. The spearmen rushed forward and did not stab anyone. Instead, they stabbed the horse directly. The horse was shot and collapsed directly.

The Tatars on the ground fell to the ground. Before they could get up, the pikemen fired a shot, but there was no way they could survive.

The front team was blocked by the camp gate, and was intercepted by spearmen. There were three thousand Tatar soldiers in total. After this period of torment, four or five hundred people died. But the remaining people were all crowded together on this road.

On the passage, I simply couldn’t exert my strength.

Behind the tents on both sides, a series of gunshots rang out again. After the gunshots, there was the sound of arrows flying in the air. A single blow could cause the Tatars to injure more than a hundred people. Obai saw that if he continued like this, his own

This small number of people will definitely be tortured. He hesitated, gritted his teeth and said: "Dismount! Follow me and charge to the right!"

The dense tents on both sides affected the performance of the cavalry. Instead of waiting for death on the horse, it was better to dismount and fight. Obai was the first to jump off the horse, and the other Tatar soldiers jumped down and rushed to the right according to Obai's command.

.

The musketeers and archers hiding behind the tent were well aware of the Tatars' moves. They immediately retreated, and as they retreated, groups of spearmen charged at them.

The spearmen resisted the charging Tatars, and the two sides fought together.

Everyone knows that if the Tatars ride horses, they will have amazing fighting power. Looking at the world, not many people can compete with them. But now it is down, and the Tatars have no horses, and their fighting power will immediately drop by several levels. There is nothing

Terrible.

Mao Wenlong's troops are not the veteran soldiers in the pass. They are all combatable soldiers. They come to the Tatar territory to harass them when they have nothing to do. However, the Tatar soldiers did not fight once or twice, and they are not very afraid. This time it is flat ground again.

Fighting, so he is not afraid.

The Tatar soldiers used sabers, while the Ming army used long spears. It’s hard to say who fought better. The spears were longer at that time. The two sides met and each other suffered casualties. As expected, Obai was a Jurchen warrior with extraordinary bravery, and

The Ming soldiers he attacked would definitely not be able to withstand three rounds and would die under his sword.

But no matter how brave the Tatars are, the Ming army cannot be too weak, and there is another advantage that determines the outcome, which is the large number of people. A steady stream of Ming troops are coming from the side and the rear, and there are also a large number of Ming troops on the other side.

They bypassed the tent and rushed over, forming a pincer attack from both front and back.

Now, anyone can see that the Tatar soldiers are about to die. They are few and cannot afford to be consumed.

Obai was not a fool, and he knew this clearly. If he had horses, the Ming army would be several times larger than his own, and he would not take it lightly. But now that there are no horses, facing the numerically superior Ming army, what would happen?

I can still fight. Try to find a way to run.

He waved his sword and rushed to the front to clear the way. The Tatar soldiers followed him and rushed forward. Obai was so brave that no one could stop him even if he was on his feet, but he also understood

, he could not be left alone. If he were alone, he would be suspicious. Therefore, he would never abandon his men and fight to the death to break out. Under his leadership, at the fence of the camp, but at this moment,

There were less than two hundred Tatar soldiers left with him.

This is not to say that all the Tatars are dead, but the current Tatar soldiers have been cut into several pieces by the numerically superior Ming army, and they are tightly surrounded. They want to escape unless another Obai appears.

Come.

Obai, who had all fled to the fence, would naturally not risk his own life to rescue the compatriots inside. Furthermore, he was not without enemies around him. There were hundreds of Ming troops fighting around them. The railings of the fence were all tied up.

Yes, Oboi raised his knife and cut the rope, and a railing fell down, revealing a hole from which he could not escape.

Without hesitation, Obai used his knife to cut through two more railings, then got out and fled for his life. As for his men, you all have your destiny. Anyway, I don't have horses, so I don't know if I can escape alive. Big guys.

They cannot all die. The news of the defeat must be reported to Sheng Jing as soon as possible.

This battle can be said to be another great victory in the history of the Ming army's war against the Jurchens. Nearly three thousand Tatars were killed, and only twenty or thirty Tatars escaped.

Originally, according to Mao Wenlong's plan, none of the Tatars who attacked the camp could escape, but he failed to estimate Obai's courage.

After Obai escaped, he headed north all the way. He was lucky and soon met his scouts. Ten of his scouts did not participate in the robbery, so Obai immediately asked for a horse and went to Sheng alone. Beijing fled, and the rest of the troops stayed here to investigate the movements of the Ming army. As soon as there was news, they immediately reported to Shengjing.

It was more than two hundred miles from here to Shengjing. It took a day and a night to reach Shengjing with a fast horse. When Obai broke out from the Ming army camp, the sky was already slightly bright, and he kept driving on the horse. , finally arrived in Shenyang in the middle of the night.

Obai was the one who led the Xianghuang Banner. The person in charge of the Xianghuang Banner now was Huang Taiji’s eldest son Haoge. Of course he had to report the defeat to Haoge. Of the ten Niulu, none of them came back. This was not the case between the Jurchens and the Ming Army. This has never happened before in the history of combat.

How could Hauge not be angry after listening to Obai's report, but he just verbally scolded Obei and did not impose any other punishment. Because Hauge and Obai had a good personal relationship, Hauge often commanded the flags to be mounted with yellow flags. During the battle, he and Obai developed a deep comrade-in-arms relationship.

However, Hauge also knew that the situation was serious, and he immediately went to see Dabeile Daishan in person. Even though he was Huang Taiji's son, the Jurchens at that time and now did not pay attention to this, and it all depended on their qualifications.

When they arrived at Daishan's house, Hauge told him what had happened, and Daishan became anxious. More than 10,000 Ming troops attacked the hinterland and killed ten of Obai's Niulu. Let's not talk about the impact on morale for the moment. In a few days, the Ming army will be able to attack Hetuala. That is the birthplace of my Jurchen, how can the Ming army get involved?

The situation was urgent. Even though it was the middle of the night, Daishan immediately sent someone to invite the people left behind to discuss the matter.

Of course, all the big names were invited for this meeting, and ordinary generals would not have a chance. Who are they? Dorgon, the flag owner of the white flag, Duduo, the flag owner of the white flag, Azig, the flag owner of the red flag, and the emperor Tai Chi personally told Fan Wencheng who helped Dai Shan make suggestions.

The four people rushed to Daishan's house almost at the same time. They didn't know what happened, but they thought that calling everyone here so late must not be a trivial matter.

Sure enough, when they arrived at the hall of Daishan's mansion, Daishan told the news of Obai's defeat straight to the point.

After listening to Daishan's narration, Duduo was the first to stand up and said angrily: "Obai, this loser, actually lost our Jurchen 3,000 Eight Banners warriors. He is really worth killing but not keeping. Da Beile, I don’t think there’s any need to discuss this matter. I’ll kill Ao to worship the flag first, and then send troops to go and fight to the death with Mao Wenlong!”

Why did Duduo propose to kill Obai as soon as he came up? It was because the two of them had some feud in private. How did Duduo look at Obai, why did he find it displeasing, and he wanted to cause trouble for Obai. Now he finally had such an opportunity. , how could you not make good use of it.

As soon as Hauge heard this, he immediately became angry, jumped up, and said loudly: "Victory and defeat are common matters for military strategists. Obai's defeat this time was not a fault of war. It was really because the Ming army was too cunning! I think Let’s forget about this matter. Now that we are facing a powerful enemy, we should first discuss how to deal with it!”

"Humph!" Duduo snorted coldly and said with a smile: "Forget it, you put it lightly, so many warriors died, but only he, Obai, came back. He must be greedy for life and afraid of death, how can he forget it? What if? If you don’t deal with Obao, then you’ll have to forgive me for not accompanying him!”

Having said this, he turned around and left.
