With a yellow flag, Ba Ya La Jia La Zhang Jingchao Harce was on his horse. He was really panicked. It was not that he was afraid of the approaching Ming army.
Rather, I bear the important responsibility of protecting His Majesty the Emperor. If the incoming enemy cavalry disturbs the holy cavalry, it will be a sin that cannot be redeemed by death!
Chaohaer first shouted an order: "Afeni, Maitu, you each lead fifty warriors, go forward and form a formation, form the left and right wings, and attack Minggou with me."
“嗻……嗻……”
Afoni and Maitu responded loudly to the order, and each led fifty warriors to ride out of the formation. They formed a square formation on the left and right sides in front of Chaohar and were on standby.
Chao Haer shouted again: "Wayinbu, you lead fifty warriors to form a formation behind me. Listen, you are the last line of defense. If the Mingguo breaks through from me, you can fight to the death, but you must not
It disturbed the emperor's holy chariot."
A Qing general with big arms and round waist stepped out from the crowd and responded loudly: "嗻."
Chao Haer's big eyes widened. He looked at a Qing general and shouted loudly: "Jueluo Shuerkun, I will give you fifty white-armored warriors to stay with the emperor and protect him. You must protect the emperor's safety."
"嗻!"
After Jueluo Shuoerkun responded to the order loudly, he shouted: "Please rest assured Chao Harjiala, even if Shuoerkun dies, he will not let Mingguo hurt the emperor."
At this time, Xihan and Ye Bilong also came to Huang Taiji's horse and persuaded him to retreat a little, so as not to be disturbed by the Ming army rushing up.
But Huang Taiji didn't take it seriously. Although he was very fat, he didn't look clumsy at all.
He rode on a silver-white war horse, whipped out the sword from his waist, leaped forward ten steps, came to the front of the warriors, and shouted loudly: "Warriors of the Qing Dynasty, you are the best in the world.
The eagle is the hound on the snowfield and the master of the land under our feet."
Huang Taiji raised his saber high and rode his horse towards a group of Bagala warriors, as if inspecting his subordinates. He returned to his original position and then continued to shout: "Now, how dare the damn Nikan come here?"
Can you tolerate it if we let people run wild on this piece of land?"
"cannot!"
The internal minister, Zhenghuang Banner Ba Ya La Hu Zhang Jing Ta Zhan, was the first to draw his sword and roared angrily.
"Can't...can't...can't..."
The 300 warriors from the Bagala camp of the Qing Dynasty here also followed the pagoda and let out a uniform roar.
Huang Taiji looked at the roaring warriors. He also waved the saber in his hands excitedly. When the roar subsided slightly, he shouted again: "Warriors, are the tiger spears and steel knives in your hands children's toys?
?”
"No... no... no..."
Huang Taiji was very satisfied with the reaction of the soldiers. He continued to encourage loudly: "Warriors, use the tiger spears and steel knives in your hands to make the Ming army regret coming to this land.
Let the tiger spears and steel knives in your hands be stained with the blood of Ming army soldiers!"
"Kill...kill...kill..."
Huang Taiji nodded with satisfaction and finally shouted: "Warriors, I'm not going anywhere, I'm just here watching you kill all the Ming troops on the opposite side.
Form an army, my warriors!"
"Kill...kill all Nikan..."
Three hundred Qing army Baya soldiers quickly formed phalanxes amidst roars. In front of them were two phalanxes of fifty men led by Afoni and Maitu, on the left and right sides.
Baya Lajia Lazhang Jingchao Haer personally led a hundred elite Baya La soldiers as the second line of defense, which was also the main line of defense.
According to Chao Haer's idea, as long as he could hold back the Ming army rushing from the opposite side, and as long as Afoni and Maitu could come over in time to double-team, he would be sure to annihilate all these Ming troops here.
Even if some of them can break through from themselves, so what?
Behind him, there are fifty warriors from Wayinbu, and there are fifty warriors from Jueluo Shuerkun, who are responsible for guarding the safety of the emperor.
Although he had just seen a large cloud of smoke rising from Zhang Guli's forward formation about a mile away, Chao Haer thought that the Ming army's guns and artillery were indeed sharp, but since they had been fired, there was nothing to fear.
Not to mention Chao Haer, even the other officers and generals did not take the Huwei camp's cannons to heart at this moment. After all, in their eyes, the Ming Dynasty's Liaodong army used three-eyed cannons, although the sound was like thunder.
, but its actual power is meager.
While they were talking here, the Ming army on the opposite side had already rushed about 200 steps ahead. They seemed to be gradually slowing down their horses and did not launch continuous charges.
After the Ming Army's cavalry formation, more than a hundred knights from the Qing Army's Bagala Camp gathered together again and were forming formation to chase after the Ming Army's cavalry formation.
As a result, Lin Fangping's more than 400 cavalry soldiers were surrounded by the Qing army.
But there was no trace of fear on his face, and he was heard shouting loudly: "Shi Meng, Temur is following me, for the central army; Su Laohu, you lead a sentry for the left wing, and the Chang brothers are for the right wing. Let's
Charge separately."
"Yes." Chang Zhengxiong responded loudly.
But Su Laohu, the commander-in-chief of the right department of the Huwei camp, shouted very formally: "Here."
They all knew that this time, because they were fighting on the inside lines of the Tatars, they could only rely on the six hundred brothers in their own camp, and there was no backup at all.
After all the hard work, everyone can still escape unscathed. Regardless of whether they can kill the Tatar Emperor, everyone will be a hero when they return to the camp. But if the hard work fails, these 600 elite Tiger Guard soldiers will
It is possible that we will all be left on this piece of land.
Therefore, they did not dare to be vague. Lin Fangping gave the order decisively, and they resolutely carried it out. They immediately changed from the five groups of cavalry to three groups of fine cavalry, separated in three directions and went straight to the Qing cavalry formation.
Su Laohu and the Chang brothers each led one hundred elite cavalry and charged at the front two small square formations of the Qing army's cavalry formation, while Lin Fangping personally led nearly two hundred elite cavalry and charged directly at Chao Haer's central army.
Everyone on Lin Fangping's side took out a new hand gun and held it in their hands, while some soldiers held a short hand gun on each side.
It turned out that Zhang Cheng knew that their crossing the river would be a narrow escape. If the battle got too intense, they might not even have time to reload their guns.
So he transferred more than 600 short-handed muskets from Zhang Guangda's cavalry camp, and added one more musket to each soldier in the Tiger Guard camp. Therefore, even if they had fired a musket just now, many soldiers still had muskets in their hands.
There are two handguns.
However, this time the Qing army was already prepared.
Chao Haer had already ordered the hundreds of cavalry and Baya soldiers he led to attack with force, because being on horseback was not conducive to the waist exerting force, making it difficult to draw the strong bow.
Therefore, there were fifty cavalrymen on Chaohaer's side who dismounted and shot on foot, while another fifty were still riding on their horses to watch over the horses and prevent them from running around.
Seeing that the Ming army on the opposite side had entered a distance of eighty steps, Chao Haer fully used the strong attack in his hands. When the Ming army rushed into a distance of seventy steps, he suddenly shouted: "Let go!"
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!... Whoosh..."
The sound of arrows piercing the sky continued one after another, and fifty large ceremony arrows pierced the sky, like a ghost's hook, shooting towards the Ming army knights who were rushing towards them.
It stands to reason that all the soldiers in the Tiger Guard camp have their own sophisticated iron armor. However, in order to save some trouble when crossing the river, not everyone swam in armor. Now only the dozen or so people at the head were wearing helmets and rifles.
First.
Most of the knights at the back did not wear armor. They just wore ordinary mandarin duck battle coats. At most, some of them wore a layer of soft armor under the battle coats.
The main weapons of the soldiers of the Tiger Guard Camp are standard. Each person has one tiger lance and two short-handed blunderbuss. However, there is no unified standard for secondary weapons and armor.
This is because the soldiers of the Tiger Guard Battalion often go out to perform sentinel missions, so they keep most of their handy weapons and the armor they are accustomed to wearing, but the Tiger Spear is what they use when fighting in formation on the battlefield.
A weapon that only one can use.
The only exception is the short-handed gun.
This melee weapon was very popular among the soldiers of the Xuanbei Army as soon as it was launched, especially the soldiers of the Huwei Camp. They went out frequently for scouting. Previously, they either carried a Yunzhou blunderbuss or used a three-eyed blunderbuss.
In short, they are not very convenient, but this short-hand gun is different. First of all, it is short and easy to carry and use. Secondly, it is fast. You can pick it up and put it away without preparing a match to start a fire.
Now, in order to break through the Qing cavalry formation as soon as possible, they will rely on the power of short-handed muskets.
In the previous confrontation with the Qing army led by Zhang Guli, the Huwei battalion also suffered more than forty casualties. If in peacetime, forty was exchanged for eighty, it would be a great victory.
But it doesn't work now, because we have no backup, but reinforcements from the Tatars will arrive at any time, and they will continue to flow. After all, the person opposite is Huang Taiji, the emperor of the Qing Dynasty!
Therefore, regardless of success or failure, the Tiger Guard Battalion only has one battle here. Even in the face of the sharp arrows fired by the Qing army, they can only rush forward without any flinch.
Because after this battle, regardless of the outcome, they must retreat quickly. Only in this way can they avoid being surrounded and annihilated by the Tatars.
The sound of "ding-dong-ding-dong..." can be heard endlessly, and there is also the sound of "puff...puff..." arrows piercing armor and piercing flesh. As the Ming army rushes forward, the distance is still getting closer, and the Tatars throw their arrows through
The penetration and lethality are also greatly enhanced.
The soldiers of the Tiger Guard Camp kept falling off their horses, and the sounds of wailing and screaming were heard one after another. Lin Fangping was also hit by an arrow, but it did not slow down his charging speed at all.
After all, the distance was too close, and the Tatars did not dare to encroach. Each of them shot two arrows quickly, and then got on their horses. At this time, Jia La Zhang Jing Chao Haer had already led fifty warriors who had not dismounted to shoot.
The horse rushed forward to meet him.
The Tatars formed a horizontal row of twenty-five horsemen. There were fifty Bagaras in the two rows in front of them, and fifty Bagara soldiers who had just mounted behind them were also formed in the same formation.
Just like the previous confrontation, when the two sides reached a distance of thirty steps, spears, flying axes, and iron bones were projected from the hands of the Tatars and flew towards the soldiers of the Ming Army's Tiger Guard Camp.
The Huwei camp once again used its big killer weapon, and with a burst of "Bang! Bang! Bang!...", soldiers from both sides fell from their horses.
The screams continued one after another, mixed with the neighing of war horses. There were fallen horses everywhere, as well as soldiers rolling and wailing!
A thrown spear went straight to the center of the Tiger Guard camp, the left sentry commander Shi Meng's eyebrows, but Shi Meng still galloped forward on his horse, only to see him suddenly bending down on the horse's back, barely able to avoid this attack.
Pole throwing gun.
At the same time, the short-handed blunderbuss in Shi Meng's right hand also roared and exploded. In the light of the fire, the blunderbuss shot out and hit a Tatar in the chest, shattering his armor and entering through the chest.
A stream of blood spurted out, and the Tatar's thick body suddenly fell from his horse, and he didn't even have time to utter a mournful cry.
It is true that Chao Haer was able to become the Jia La Zhangjing of Bagala camp not because of the influence of his ancestors, but because of his own abilities. He rode up to Lin Fangping and slashed with the big ax in his hand.
Smash.
Although Lin Fangping has been on the battlefield for many years, he is still a dwarf compared to Chao Haer. He wields the tiger spear with both hands, blocking it with the left and right, and can barely withstand Chao Haer's attack. He looks very embarrassed.
This time, the Qing army's Baya soldiers formed four rows of horizontal formations. Lin Fangping and the others barely broke through the third row, and then they were in a melee with the Qing army and could no longer charge forward.
Lin Fangping felt anxious in his heart. He knew that if his charge was stopped by the Tatars, he should retreat immediately. Otherwise, if he was stuck by the Tatars, the two sides would fall into a melee. When the Tatar reinforcements arrived, he would be in trouble.
There is no possibility of escape.
The tiger gun in his hand swept across and drove away a Tatar soldier who was fighting against him. He was waiting to raise his eyes to see the situation on the side of Su Laohu and the Chang brothers so that he could decide where to break out of the encirclement.
At this moment, he saw that the Tatar who had just used a big ax to fight him rushed up again. He knew that this person was powerful, so he did not dare to slack off and hurriedly dealt with it.
The two sides exchanged spears and axes, and Lin Fangping obviously felt that he was out of power. He knew that he would definitely not be an opponent if he continued, so he wanted to take out his third short-handed blunderbuss and kill the Tatar.
But Chaohar's big ax was flying up and down, either chopping or smashing hard. Lin Fangping couldn't free his hand at all. In desperation, he took advantage of Chaohar's big ax to just hit the tiger, and slammed the tiger into it.
The gun shot towards him.
Taking advantage of Chao Haer's opportunity to dodge the tiger spear, he suddenly turned around, groped with both hands on both sides of the saddle, then tilted his body and fell to one side.
After this operation, Chao Hal was actually confused, but he didn't have time to think about why Lin Fangping was like this.
The veteran Chao Haer, who has been on the battlefield for a long time, has actually seen that Lin Fangping is the leader of this Ming army, so he keeps staring at Lin Fangping, thinking just to kill this man, and this Ming army will not be there soon.
Collapse.
At this time, he saw that Lin Fangping suddenly turned over and dismounted. He was eager to capture the enemy and did not think much about it. He hurriedly moved the horse's head, trying to turn to the right side of Lin Fangping's horse.
But when Chao Haer raised his big ax and urged his horse to turn to the right, he was suddenly stunned and still looked at a loss.
