Zhun Ta, whose surname is Tong Jia, belongs to the Zhengbai Banner of Manchuria. His ancestors lived in Yaer Ancient Village, which is more than 20 miles upstream from the mouth of Dayaerhu River.
His father, Tong Jia Hu Erhan, was the adopted son of the old slave Nurhachi. He was brave and good at fighting. He was once given the title "Jue Luo" by the old slave. He was in charge of Manchuria with a white flag. He was also named "Darhan" and was one of the "Five Founding Ministers of the Later Jin Dynasty".
one
Zhun Ta is the most similar to his father among the Hu'erhan disciples. He is also brave and good at fighting. In the tenth year of Chongzhen, he accompanied Azige, the king of Wuying County, to attack Pi Island. Because of his bravery in battle, he was given the name "Batulu".
In the eleventh year of Chongzhen, he followed General Yangwu and Beile Yuetuo to break through Qiangziling, destroy the border and enter the pass, wreaking havoc in the capital of the Ming Dynasty. They successively defeated the troops of Feng Yongsheng, the internal eunuch of the Ming Dynasty, and Hou Shilu, the commander-in-chief, and penetrated deep into the interior of Shandong.
At this moment, Zhun Ta was galloping on his horse. He wanted to intercept the oncoming Ming cavalry and prevent them from rushing through his defense line, so as not to ruin Prince Rui's plan.
Although the Ming army on the opposite side seems to have surpassed Qianqi, so what?
In the eyes of Batulu Zunta of the Qing Dynasty, no matter how many Ming Dynasty cavalry they were, they were nothing more than round watermelon heads. The long machete in his hand was not just for chopping.
Zhun Ta didn't take the charging Ming army seriously at all. He yelled and kept urging his Zhengbai Banner Tatar cavalry to charge forward.
When he saw that the distance between the two sides was only over a hundred steps, Zhun Ta's heart skipped a beat, as something seemed a little off about the Mingqi opposite.
Not only were their knights fully equipped with armor, but even the horses they mounted were equipped with uniforms, and uniform tiger spears stood up like a forest in front of the cavalry formation.
Looking at the rows of tiger spears, with the dark and shiny spear tips filled with a hint of cold air, even a Batulu warrior as fierce as Zhun Ta couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.
Especially the unhurried and unhurried pace of the Ming army's cavalry formation opposite. Previously, Zhun Ta was still laughing at the Ming army's lack of bravery and did not dare to charge.
But now it seems that it is full of oppression!
Zhang Guangda rode forward, leading the three hundred heavy cavalry and controlling the horses under his crotch to accelerate forward in a running posture. Qing Yishui's tiger spear thrust forward, like a row of mobile anti-horse rifles equipped with iron armor, rolling
forward
Originally, Zhang Guangda's weapon was a long machete. He had been using the long machete for several years since he became a cavalryman under General Zhang Yan of Xuanzang Town.
But since Zhang Cheng established the heavy cavalry, it was for the convenience of training the soldiers, for the uniformity of the cavalry formation, and more importantly to set an example.
He abandoned the long machete and instead practiced tiger lance cavalry combat, and the cavalry combat weapons of all 300 soldiers in the heavy cavalry department of the entire cavalry camp were also replaced by tiger lances.
In addition to the tiger lance, each heavy cavalryman is also equipped with an iron mace, which is used as a secondary weapon. Apart from this, there are no other weapons, not even bows and arrows or short-handed blunderbuss.
After all, heavily armored cavalry cannot fight for a long time. Even if some knights have strong physical strength and can fight for a long time, the horses under their crotches cannot bear such weight for a long time.
"Xuanbei Army is victorious!"
Zhang Guangda extended his tiger spear further forward, shouted loudly, and when he was eighty paces away from the Manchurian Zhengbai Banner Tatar bandit, he began to urge his horse to gallop at a forward pace.
“Wonderful victory!’
"Xuanbei Army
.Wan Sheng...Xuanbei Army...Wan Sheng:
The sound roared like the devil's roar, and the "rumbling" sound of iron hooves seemed to break through the sky.
"Wan Sheng. Wan Sheng... Wan Sheng:
The knights of the Tiger Guards on the left and right wings and the light cavalry department also let out chaotic shouts and roars, which shook the hearts of the Tatar thieves rushing in front, making them feel a trace of fear for the first time. At the same time, their faces were full of
Incredible look.
When did Ming Gouzi, who had always been brave, become so brave and powerful?
Thirty steps, twenty steps
"Bang bang... boom boom
The first rows of cavalry from both sides collided with each other, making a series of tragic muffled sounds, followed by the sound of broken bones, the neighing of war horses, and mixed with howls. For a moment, it was unclear whether the screams were from Zhang Cheng.
That cry was from the Tatars
The Xuanbei Army's tiger lance was piercing the chest of a Tatar cavalry. There was a "bang" sound, and the weak impact actually broke the goggles, went straight into the chest of the Tatar, and penetrated through the back.
The Tatar thief grasped the tiger gun with both hands weakly, his eyes almost rolled out of his eyes, and he spit out mouthfuls of black blood "Puff...", but he kept trying to open it wider, as if he was full of blood.
Feeling unwilling.
Ta Zhan's weapon was a long-handled mace club. He swung the stick and hit it hard on the head of the horse of Hualiang's heavy cavalry beside the Xuanbei army.
There was a "click" sound.
Even with the protection of armor, the horse's head was smashed by the Zhun Tower. The huge body of the war horse tilted to the right, and with a "bang", it fell directly to the ground, like a hill collapsing, stirring up a cloud of dust.
‘Bang!’
There was another loud noise.
By coincidence, some of Hualiang's war horses collided with Zhun Tower's war horse. The advantage of equipped war horses was revealed at this moment. Although the horses under the two men were both injured, Zhun Tower's war horse was
He screamed loudly after being hit and fell to the side.
The Xuanbei Army's tiger spear was still inserted into the chest of the Tatar thief. The rebound force of the collision of the war horses made him dodge backward. He released the tiger spear with both hands, took out his iron mace with his backhand, and hit it hard with all his strength.
On the helmet of Zhunta.
There was a loud "Bang!"
Zhun Ta's iron helmet was deflated and embedded in his huge head. Zhun Ta, the majestic Batulu warrior of the Qing Dynasty, didn't even have time to snort, and died!
Hua Liangyou had actually been eyeing Zhun Ta for a long time, but he only saw that Zhun Ta was the leader of these Tatar cavalry, but he didn't know that he was actually the Batulu warrior of the Tatars.
These words may seem like a long time, but in fact they only happened in a split second.
After the Xuanbei Army smashed the quasi tower to death, the cavalry rushed into the Tatar cavalry formation. The iron mace flew and knocked down two more Tatar thieves. Although he was also hit by the Tatar machete.
But he was protected by the iron armor, and he could only feel the blood surge in his chest, but nothing serious happened.
As the knights in the back row continued to charge forward, they punched a big hole in the middle of the battle formation of the Tatar white flag cavalry.
Later, the Ming army led two adopted sons and child soldiers, plus Morigen's three hundred Mongolian cavalry, and the two sides continued to fight in a melee. The Tiger Guards and Qingqi on both wings also joined the battle group at this time.
Duhu Dayou's hundred rangers stayed on the outskirts. They patrolled in groups outside the battle group to hunt down the Tatar cavalry who broke out of the battle group.
"Bang. Bang bang."
There was a series of explosions of short-handed muskets, and the Tatar thieves who were attacked by the heavy cavalry led by the Xuanbei Army fell to pieces again in this burst of bombardment.
The Ming army's duck-billed knives and sticks stabbed, smashed, or chopped. It was like entering an uninhabited land. Shrouded in smoke and dust, nearly a thousand Tatar thieves were killed by the Xuanbei army like melons and vegetables.
, but less than a hundred people escaped.
However, the Ming army suffered less than a hundred casualties. Such a result must be the best in this battle!
Hu Dayou was leading a dozen rangers to chase down four Tatar cavalry. He saw Zhang Chengfang's horse rushing towards him from a distance. He reined in his horse and heard Zhang Chengfang shouting from a distance: "The commander-in-chief has an order. You cavalry quickly go to the direction of West Shimen to investigate the slave situation and find out where Yang Zhenshuai is.'
Hu Dayou hurriedly stopped everyone and called to the soldiers of the Cavalry Division separately. A team of more than ten people rode away in front of the west stone gate.
Zhang Jintai saw from a distance the body of a Tatar thief lying on Lin Fangping's saddle and bridle. He smiled and said: "General Lin, it would be nice to just chop off the head. Why bother carrying this big guy? It's so tiring." Le 1
Lin Fangping raised his hand and patted the corpse of the Tatar thief heavily, and said with a smile: "Look at the armor and the military flag. I guess he is really a big guy. It's better to keep his whole body intact so that he can take advantage of the merit.
The Ming army also rode over at this time. He took a careless look and said: "Hey, isn't this the Tatar leader who was killed by Xiahou Zhang?'
"Come back to the commander, I haven't killed him yet." The Xuanbei army also galloped over on horseback at some point. The Ming army's sword-clipping stick had been hung back on the horse's Desheng hook, and he waved the whip in his hand and said with a smile. : "Okay, then I'll leave it to you for safekeeping.'
Immediately, he continued to shout: "The target is in the direction of West Shimen. The Tiger Guard will follow my commander in the center, the light cavalry will be on the left, the Mongolian cavalry will be on the right, and the heavy cavalry will be slowing down behind to restore the strength of the war horses.
Sons, follow me and continue killing slaves!"
"Kill slaves
"Reinforcements - reinforcements are coming
Waves of cheers came from the military formation of Shanxi Commander-in-Chief He Zhenxiong.
After Hualiang's troops led the Zhengbai Banner Tatar cavalry in Zhun Tower to intercept Hualiang, the pressure suddenly eased, but even so, they were still at a disadvantage.
Ta Zhan commanded nearly a thousand elite troops of the Tatar bandit Bagala, and they still took turns to charge with their horses. In each charge, more than ten Zhang Cheng were shot by the Tatar bandit's heavy arrows, either dead or injured.
At this moment, he was still complaining that the Ming army was really unjust. Seeing that the war with the Tatars on his side was so bad, he didn't come to rescue him, because he was sent to the north to kill him.
Seeing that his military formation was about to be undefendable, Li Fuming was so anxious that he kept greeting the Ming army and the eighteen generations of Hualiang's ancestors in his heart.
Suddenly, he heard cheers of "Reinforcements are coming...". He was overjoyed and quickly looked back.
As expected, on the mountain road behind him, Zhang Cheng was slowly marching towards him in a dark formation. He was like a newly weaned baby looking forward to drinking milk, and there were a few tears in his eyes.
In the army formation that came for reinforcements, a large flag was erected high. On the left side were the two characters "Xuanbei" and in the middle was a large "Wei" character. This was the flag recognized by Wei Zhice's commander-in-chief.
Next to it is a recognition flag of the same size and specification as above, with the character "李" written on it, which is the recognition flag of Li Jiyu, the commander of the Dengfeng camp.
On both sides of the Dengfeng camp's infantry formation, there was a chariot unit on each side. More than 6,000 elite Li Fuming soldiers advanced slowly, but they also brought up billowing smoke and dust. However, there was a giant steel beast hidden in the billowing smoke. Specially here to harvest the lives of Tatar thieves with money rat tails!
He Zhenxiong, who just now was still angrily cursing the Ming army and Hualiang, now shouted "grandma" and "grandpa" in his mouth. He immediately gave up the idea of preparing to advance and organized the Shanxi soldiers and horses to launch a counterattack.
"Where is Yang Shuai now?"
Zhang Guangda, the counselor of the Xuanfu, roared angrily at the two Hualiang cavalry who were covered in blood.
At this moment, a circle of white cloth was randomly wrapped around his chest, except for a patch of bright red on the left side. The helmet fell off somewhere, and his hair was no longer restrained by the helmet, and was scattered loosely on the back of his head.
Two of Guo Yingxian's servants were in front of him and replied with a very embarrassed look: "After we separated the master from Tang Dusi, he was surrounded by Tatar thieves. We led the charge and killed the master for half a day, but still could not escape. This time
I just came to look for General Guo to come back for reinforcements.'
When Zhang Guangda heard that Guo Yingxian was in a critical situation, he was furious and cursed: "What use do you have? I usually provide you with good food and drink, but now that it's time to use it, it's so unbearable!"
The two servants' faces turned green and red at what he said, but they did not dare to refute, so they could only lower their heads obediently, not daring to raise their heads.
Duoluo Anpingbeile Dudu of the Qing Dynasty commanded thousands of Tatars with red flags to besiege Yang Guozhu. He had a clear advantage, but Hua Liangyou suddenly killed him and disrupted the position. At this time, he was preparing for the next attack.
After Yang Guozhu appeased the brothers in the Buying camp in front of the formation, he walked back. When he heard Zhang Guangda's angry scolding, he hurriedly stepped forward to persuade him: "Master Guo, even if you scold them to death, you will not be able to relieve the danger of the commander-in-chief.
What's more, they tried their best, but Li Fuming of Shanxi Province was still unable to make any progress. I, the lone army in Xuanzhen, monopolized the Tatars, and then suffered a temporary defeat. How can I blame them!'
Zhang Guangda's anger was still lingering, but he still said: "Humph, where are the Supervisory Camp of Governor Hong and the soldiers and horses of Liu Zhaoji, the commander-in-chief of Liaodong?"
He seemed to remember something and asked doubtfully: "Is there any movement from Li Fuming?"
The two Hualiang servants who came to report the news first looked at each other and then said: "I haven't seen you yet."
"What is this boy from the Ming Army doing? To avoid coming to rescue him!"
Zhang Guangda said in a rough voice, and Hua Liangyou answered from the side: "General Guo, lead the cavalry and go quickly to find the commander-in-chief. The new army here can still withstand it.'
Zhang Guangda glanced at him and said: "I will leave you eight hundred cavalry. I will take a thousand cavalry, which is enough.'
While Yang Guozhu was still waiting to be imprisoned, Zhang Guangda said angrily: "You are Yang Shuai's precious child. You are willing to take it to fight with the Tatars, but I, Lao Guo, can't bear to part with it!"
After saying this, he got on his horse and shouted loudly: "Guo Qing, gather your left and right troops and follow me to find Yang Shuai.'
Guo Yingxian, the chief military officer of Xuanfu Town, had a slight chance to stand out from the encirclement of the Tatars, but unfortunately, his war horse was shot by the Tatars. The opportunity was lost due to the delay in changing the horse.
Although E Keqin, the auxiliary official of the Qing Dynasty, did not dare to disobey Prince Rui Dorgon's military orders, he had no doubt that Hua Liang would surrender.
Therefore, when Kong Youde went to persuade Guo Yingxian to surrender, he led a cavalry group while being watched. Suddenly he saw that Hualiang was trying to break out of the encirclement, so he hurriedly led his troops in pursuit.
Even so, after Guo Yingxian changed to a war horse, he still had the opportunity to escape from the Qing army's siege with a dozen cavalry following him. However, he could not bear to abandon his servants who had led him for many years, so he had to turn around and fight.
Just like this, they fought and retreated, and were surrounded by E Keqin on a hill. As groups of cavalry from the Qing Army's Zhengbai Banner were galloping towards them, a large woven gold dragon flag was also slowly approaching.
