It was almost noon, and the sun hung high in the sky. The dazzling sunlight shone on the earth, making people feel extremely warm. Even the howling north wind could not make people feel a bit cold.
Ma Ke, the commander-in-chief of Shanhaiguan in the Ming Dynasty, led more than 6,000 troops under his command, and divided into two groups with Wang Tingchen, the former commander-in-chief of the garrison, and attacked northward. They fought from early morning until noon, and then stopped fighting.
Originally, there were only more than 4,000 Han troops from Bayan, plus more than 1,000 Zhengbai Banner Tatars from Bilu Zhumala who came to support, and less than 4,000 Mongolian Zhenglan Banner Wu Lai troops.
There are only more than 10,000 troops.
But the war was in full swing, and the Tatars continued to retreat under the fierce attack of the Ming army. Just when Wang Tingchen's troops were about to attack the Xiaoling River Floating Bridge, Prince Zheng Jierharang led the Manchurian Lantern Banner Tatars.
Killed at this time.
Originally, Wang Tingchen's former garrison troops were centered in the front, and they were facing Bilu Zhumala's Zhengbai Banner's two thousand Tatars. Although the Tatars were very brave in both cavalry and foot combat, the Ming army in the former garrison was not either.
Vegetarian food.
Wang Tingchen took advantage of his strength, repeatedly mobilized the Qing troops from left to right, and finally succeeded in breaking through the cavalry line of Zhengbai Banner in the middle, while the left and right battalions of the Ningyuan Army on the right also successfully broke through the Han army's defense line in Bayan at this moment.
Only Ma Ke's Shan Haijun has been unable to break through the defense line of Wu Lai's tribe in Mongolia's Zhenglan Banner. Although Ma Ke has an advantage in strength, Shan Hai Hai fled last night, and his physical strength has not been fully restored, and he is not as good as the former garrison.
, Ningyuan’s army is capable.
Therefore, not only did Mako fail to break through the defense line of Wu Lai's Mongolian Zhenglan Banner, but he was also forced to retreat continuously by Wu Lai.
However, after Wang Tingchen and Ningyuan's army made a breakthrough, Wu Lai did not dare to advance unilaterally. He finally led his army to retreat slowly and detached some of his troops to support Biluzhumala and Bayan.
Just when the Ming army on the west route gained strength on the battlefield and was about to continue its fierce attack to the north, thousands of Tatars led by Prince Zheng of the Qing Dynasty Jierhalang suddenly arrived with the blue banner.
Lin Fangping was completely unaware of the ax wound in his ribs, so he removed the tiger spear from the Desheng ditch. He saw a black man with a beard on his face charging towards him on horseback.
Although Zhang Cheng saw the soldiers and horses of the Zhenglan Banner of the Qing Dynasty in the north, he could not guarantee that there were no Qing troops on the other side of Huangtu Ridge. In order to prevent Huangtu Ridge from being attacked by Tatars, he still dispatched Xuanfu guerrilla Kuang Yongzhong to lead his troops.
Moved from Mamatou Mountain at the mouth of the river to Huangtu Ridge.
Without thinking carefully, he quickly raised the tiger spear in his hand forward like a conditioned reflex, kicked hard on the horse's belly with both feet, and immediately roared and accelerated to meet it.
The knights of the Tiger Guard camp had been placed in the rear position during the first wave of charges because they had not been able to overtake Zhang Guangda. They had already held their breath for this. Now, under the leadership of their general, they roared and rode towards the opposite side.
Manchuria rushed forward with a yellow flag.
As the Chinese Army's flag was waved, the artillery position of the Xuan Army behind the infantry formation was instantly enveloped in a puff of thick smoke, and iron cannonballs were continuously fired out of the large smoke.
At this time, Ao Bai was appointed as the Baya Lajia Lazhangjing with a yellow flag in Manchuria. He had a high status in the banner. Historically, after the Songjin War, he was even appointed as the Mele Zhangjing with a yellow flag for his military merits. This is
But it is second only to Gushan Ezhen’s military position.
Soon the Qing army on the opposite side also reacted. A group of more than a thousand Tatars rode out on each side of their left and right wings. The flags of the group on the east side turned out to be Manchurian Tatars with a yellow flag, while the group on the west side had a Mongolian flag with a red flag.
Beilu.
Accompanied by the roar of artillery, the cavalry of the Xuan army took the lead to rush out from both wings. They made a wide arc, like two sharp arrows, and rushed towards the flank of the Qing army.
In the afternoon, Xuan's army changed its gentle fighting style in the morning. First, all the infantry battalions marched forward in formation and marched to a distance of four to five hundred paces from the slave and traitor formation. Behind them were the two artillery battalions of the Xuanfu army and other battalions.
All artillery pieces, big and small, are also gathered here.
Upon seeing this, Wu Lai in the north also hurriedly gathered his Mongolian cavalry and charged southward. Under attack from two sides, Ma Ke's Shanhai navy was naturally unable to respond and could only retreat eastward.
On September 25th, after noon, the sun in the sky was still very hot. The soldiers of the Ming and Qing Dynasties fought fiercely for half a day, but they all showed signs of exhaustion and returned to camp one after another to prepare for the battle after lunch.
However, relatively speaking, most of the Xuan army of the Ming army did not seem to attack with all their strength. Their battalions took turns to fight, but the two artillery battalions of the Xuanfu never rested. Unless the artillery was hot and red, they could only have a little rest.
Rest.
I saw Ao Bai leading the way, shouting wildly and strangely, running straight towards the opposite side and rushing towards Zhang Guangda, the Xuanfu army.
The knights of the two armies passed each other. They did not fight together, but switched directions. Now the Tatars with yellow flags are in the south, while the knights of the Xuanfu army rushed to the north.
However, Wang Tingchen's current station is less than three miles away from the Nuer River in the south, and only about two miles away from the pontoon bridge on the Xiaoling River in the north. Moreover, the strength of his side is equivalent to that of the slave thieves, and he has a slight advantage. If he is well organized, it will not be
No chance.
On the other hand, in the Qing army formation on the opposite side, smoke and dust were everywhere at this time. Every time an iron cannon hit the ground, a plume of smoke and dust was raised.
Aobai, whose full name is Guarjia Aobai, belongs to the Xianghuang Banner people of Manchuria. He is the grandson of Sorguo, the leader of the Suwan tribe, the nephew of Fei Yingdong, the founding father of the Later Jin Dynasty, and the general manager of the Eight Gates of Shengjing in the Qing Dynasty.
The third son.
In history, Obai is also a famous figure. After Huang Taiji died of illness, he tried his best to resist Dorgon from seizing the throne, and finally succeeded in supporting Huang Taiji's ninth son Fulin to ascend the throne.
Finally, in the eighth year of Kangxi's reign, the unbearable little emperor Xuan Ye, with the support of Suo'etu, Huang Xigun, Wang Hongzuo and others, devised a plan to arrest Ao Bai, imprisoned him, and finally convicted him of thirty major crimes.
, died in prison.
The generals of both sides led their warriors, turned their horses' heads one after another, and faced the enemy again. They briefly arranged their formations, and then immediately launched a second cavalry charge.
"Kill...kill the Tatars...kill..."
Today, he also took the initiative to ask Ying to lead the Qing warriors into battle, claiming that he would give Ming Gou some color and let them know how powerful the Qing "Batulu" was. He once even shouted "Kill the bright dog and capture Zhang Cheng alive".
.
The difference is that the knights of the Xuanfu Army are armed with two short-handed muskets, while the Qing Army is armed with bows and arrows, or projectile weapons such as spears, throwing axes, and iron bones.
Cavalry battles have always been like this. It is rare for a swarm to rush forward and kill the enemy head-on. Most of them rush past and then charge again as a whole team.
This Aobai was born as a general. He had been proficient in riding and archery since he was a child. He also had outstanding fighting skills on horseback and on horseback. He began to follow the slave chief Huang Taiji at a very early age and fought for him in all directions. He made great military exploits and was called
The auspicious title given by Huangtai is "Baturu".
Lin Fangping's father, Lin Zhiyi, was originally a lieutenant officer of Zhang Cheng's uncle, Xuanfu Commander Zhang Yan. He was killed in the Battle of Julu at the hands of slave thieves, so Lin Fangping had a deep hatred for slave thieves.
From then on, Ao Bai has been by Fulin's side, directly participating in the management of various affairs of the Qing Dynasty, becoming the minister of political affairs of the dynasty, and after Fulin's death, he accepted the imperial edict and cooperated with Sony, Suk Saha, and Bibi.
Long and others jointly became the assistant ministers of Gu Ming.
…………
The man who led the troops to the battle with the yellow flag in Manchuria was Baya Lajia Lazhangjing Aobai. He led 1,500 elite armored cavalry with the yellow flag, including more than 200 Baya La soldiers.
With such an immediate display of superiority, at the moment when the knights of both sides were clashing, the fire blunderbuss kept ringing, and while the blunderbuss fired, sharp arrows, throwing spears, and flying axes were all fired.
He kept flying towards the elite cavalry of the Xuanfu army.
Obai had already thrown two spears before, hitting the chest and abdomen of two Tiger Guard knights respectively. At this time, he changed to the tiger spear in his hand, and he also kicked his horse and accelerated towards them.
At this time, the Xuanfu army Li Jiyu's Dengfeng camp and the soldiers of He Zhenxiong's Zhenbiao Zuoying camp, who were originally staying in Huangtuling, had quietly moved north and lined up behind Zhang Cheng's Chinese army.
Later, although he was suppressed by the regent Dorgon and suffered many persecutions, he was not killed by Dorgon because of his outstanding military exploits.
Lin Fangping let out an angry roar and rushed out first.
However, at this moment, the Ming army led by Wu Sangui and Cao Bianjiao not only withstood the Qing army's attack, but also took advantage of the situation to launch rounds of counterattacks, and finally forced Dorgon to retreat. This was probably the biggest result of the Ming army this morning.
But even so, Kankancai and the Qing army were evenly matched. Although the two sides fought fiercely for a whole morning, neither side gained any benefit.
The Qing army's captive cavalry were also bombarded by artillery and quickly dispersed around to avoid the bombardment. However, the artillery of the Xuan army covered the entire area with bombardment. Zhang Cheng's strict order was to bombard without distinction, until the artillery was hot, red, and burned out.
All guns.
Fortunately, Wang Tingchen, Hu Xinshui, and Xia Longshan led their troops back in time to support them, and they were able to withstand the pincer attack of Jierhalang and Wu Lai. However, the Ming army also lost the opportunity to seize the pontoon bridge on the Xiaoling River and march to the west of Jinzhou City.
It was not until Dorgon died of illness that Emperor Fulin of the Qing Dynasty took charge of the government. Hearing that Obai, Sony and others had sworn to "one heart and one mind, life and death together" and were loyal to him, he respected Obai very much and regarded him as his confidant.
Important minister.
"Tiger Guard Camp, live to die. Kill!"
Although the Chinese army camp of Prince Dorgon of the Qing Dynasty was forced back outside the west gate of Jinzhou, Wu Sangui and Cao Bianjiao also suffered heavy casualties.
Now, the bravest and fiercest knights from the Ming and Qing Dynasties collide, and it is still unclear who will win and who will lose!
In the previous round, Xuanfu guerrilla Zhang Guangda acted as the front army and personally led the cavalry charge, but now the front and rear were reversed. The Tiger Guard Battalion led by Lin Fangping changed from the rear army to the front army, and Zhang Guangda became the rear army.
Countless warriors fell off their horses and fell to the ground. Their wails, accompanied by the neighing of their horses, passed through the "rumbling" sounds of cannons and spread almost throughout the entire battlefield.
Both sides were cavalry, and they collided head-on in just a split second. Lin Fangping only had one handgun left. He raised his hand and knocked down a Tatar Bagala knight, but the flying ax that came towards him also hit him.
A wound about a foot wide was opened between his left ribs, and blood continued to flow from the wound.
During this period, Wu Sangui had the idea of retreating to the south bank of Xiaoling River several times. If it were not for Cao Bianjiao's courageous charge and force to drive back the slave thieves, Ningyuan's army would have retreated to the south bank by now.
This is also a manifestation of the spirit of cavalry. In fact, many times they are not killed by the enemy, but in this round of confrontation, they are frightened by the enemy and flee from one or two cavalry, thus causing the entire army to
rout.
Killing the enemy in these waves of charges seems to be a battle of cavalry skills, but in fact it is a battle of the fighting will of the knights on both sides.
At this time, Ma Ke's side had already stabilized its position and was mobilizing troops and horses to prepare for a counterattack against Wu Lai's Mongolian Zhenglan Banner troops, but was stopped by Jierhalang's army and charged into the Shanhai Town Army.
Oboi's beard was almost standing on end. He recognized Lin Fangping as the leader of the Ming army cavalry at a glance, and immediately rushed towards him with a hoarse voice and roared.
They originally stayed on the Loess Ridge to guard against the attack of Hauge's troops from the Zhenglan Banner on the other side. But when Zhang Cheng discovered Hauge's Zhijin Dragon Banner appeared on the opposite side at dusk yesterday, he immediately sent an order to mobilize them urgently.
Come.
From here, Oboi began to wield power, formed cliques for personal gain, attacked other life-seeking ministers, and strengthened his own power. He gradually became unscrupulous and domineering, even to the point of threatening the imperial power.
The elite cavalry of Xuan Dajun fighting on this side were composed of Zhang Guangda's cavalry camp and Lin Fangping's Tiger Guard camp. Their military strength was comparable to that of Ao Bai, and their armor and equipment were also generally sophisticated.
From then on, he came to the forefront and became an important military commander in the Qing Dynasty, starting a series of political performances!
Because Xuan Dajun had been in a stalemate with the left-wing Qing army led by Daishan this morning. Although the two sides were attacking and defending each other, the battle line remained as it was at the beginning, and nothing changed.
He was also loyal to Huang Taiji, and gradually became Huang Taiji's most trusted military commander, one of Huang Taiji's confidants, and was known as the "No. 1 Warrior in Manchuria".
What's more, as the commander-in-chief of an army at the moment, he has a stake in the morale of the entire army, so he naturally has no chance of retreating.
In order to ensure that the artillery battalion's artillery could maintain continuous firepower, two more pontoon bridges were erected on the Xiaoling River, and tens of thousands of civilians were constantly coming and going, constantly transporting gunpowder and cannons accumulated on the south bank to the north bank.
…………
Wu Sangui's performance in the west of Jinzhou City was the most outstanding. They had been fighting hard with the slave thieves all morning, especially Cao Bianjiao's men broke into the slave thieves' formation several times, and finally forced the slave thieves to retreat.
"kill!"
With a roar, he collided with Obai. They almost passed each other, but when the two horses crossed each other, they fell off the horse at the same time.
Ao Bai was tall and mighty. When he charged, the tiger spear was slightly downward, and it was stabbing Lin Fangping's breast mirror on his chest. The tip of the spear scratched the mirror and pierced his abdomen.
The tip of Lin Fangping's tiger spear was slightly raised, aiming at Obai's left chest and neck. However, when the horse jolted, it turned sideways and pierced into Obai's left shoulder, and the tip of the spear came out through the bone.
Precisely because of this, the two of them each clenched the tiger spears in their hands, neither of them willing to let go. They both wanted to draw out their own tiger spears in order to inflict secondary damage to the other party, and they fell off the horse together.
