The sergeant, who was already ready to go, completed the formation change at an extremely fast speed.
They were composed of fifty people, with two rows of shield soldiers in front, followed by sergeants armed with gourd hammers and short axes.
Although they were wearing double layers of heavy armor, the weight of several dozen kilograms did not affect their traveling speed at all after being worn on them.
Du Du and the other living Jiannu were already stunned by the Ming army's artillery.
They either huddled behind logs or covered themselves with corpses to protect themselves, without even daring to risk their lives.
The sergeants of Taishan Camp approached Guancheng easily without any hindrance.
In addition, the distance was only about fifty steps, so the first group of heavy armored infantry quickly entered the city gate.
Qi Jin's youngest son, Qi Yuanbi, is the leader of this team.
As the general of the Qi family, he naturally has some arrogance and does not want to lose the reputation of his father and uncle Qi Jiguang.
He requested this forward position from Qin Bangping himself.
When they passed through the city gate and reached the back of the pass, they saw at a glance that there were many Buddhist slaves lying on the ground.
Apparently Jiannu had deployed men and horses to ambush here, and just waiting for the Ming army to attack, they would rush out from both sides.
Unfortunately, Li Rusong had already anticipated that they would be hit hard by the Crouching Tiger Cannon and the Divine Fire Flying Crow, and many of them had been killed or injured before they even saw the Ming army.
After Qi Yuanbi glanced at it roughly, he quickly reacted.
I saw him taking the lead, and immediately led his troops to charge.
On the Jiannu side, they heard the sound of the Ming army's artillery and stopped. The Ming army had already attacked. Under the command of two Niu Lu'erzhen, they also launched a charge towards the Ming army.
The two sides began to fight.
However, the equipment gap between the two sides is really not small.
Although Jiannu also had many armored soldiers, they were all ordinary cloth-faced armors.
The Ming army was all heavily armored infantry, so Jiannu's arrows and long knives could not break through the armor and kill the Ming soldiers.
On the Ming army's side, they all had striking weapons such as hammers and hatchets.
A single blow will not kill him immediately, but it will also cause the slave being hit to lose his combat effectiveness.
At first, the Jiannu still had a numerical advantage and could barely resist the Ming army's attack.
But when the Ming troops from outside the pass poured in continuously, Jiannu gradually fell into a disadvantage and found it difficult to resist.
The two Niulu Ezhen naturally had a panoramic view of everything.
One of them said:
"The Ming army that came this time is very different from the previous ones. They are obviously well prepared. We cannot fight to the death with them here, otherwise we will definitely lose."
"We must inform the Khan about the situation and make preparations in advance, otherwise we will suffer losses later."
Seeing that he wanted to escape, another person quickly reminded:
"But the master is still on the wall. If something goes wrong, we will be punished by the Great Khan even if we return to the old village."
"Then rescue the master first, and then retreat. You hold on here while I lead the people up the wall."
The concept of superiority and inferiority among the slaves was engraved in their bones.
Especially after the establishment of the Eight Banners, it became even more popular.
Therefore, even though the two knew that the battle would be lost, they did not dare to run away directly. Even if Du Du died, they would have to transport the body back to prevent it from falling into the hands of the Ming army.
Niu Lu Ezhen, the one who spoke first, soon gathered nearly a hundred people. Under his leadership, they avoided the Ming army in front and rushed towards the wall.
At this time, Du Du was dug out of the pile of corpses on the wall by a few loyal servants.
Currently being protected by a group of personal guards, he was fighting and retreating towards the corridor.
The remaining remaining soldiers, under his strict orders, were desperately resisting the Ming soldiers who were constantly climbing up.
What he didn't understand at this time was that his white flag was finished and Salhu Pass could no longer be defended.
We can only risk our lives to break through, so as to have a chance of survival.
As for the Ming army, although one of them had already entered the pass and the other had climbed over the pass wall, the time was too short after all, and they were fighting on their own, so the two groups were not connected.
It actually gave Du Du hope to break out of the encirclement. With the support of dozens of personal guards and nearly a hundred minions, he quickly rushed down the wall.
The rest of the remaining soldiers ran away when they saw their master, and they no longer had the courage and courage to fight to the death with the Ming army.
They all ran towards the entrance of the corridor, while the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty were harvesting behind.
The Jiannu garrison on the wall was quickly defeated and did not buy Du Du much time to escape.
The Taishan Battalion had the support of follow-up troops and had complete control over the battle situation.
In the past when the two sides fought, there was a gap in equipment, but that was because the equipment of the Jiannu was superior to that of the Ming army.
Relying on the fact that they were wearing cloth face armor, they were able to fight against the Ming army, which the Koreans judged to be like beggars. It could be said that they were invincible.
In addition, Jiannu had many horses, while the Ming army was mostly foot soldiers and could not even run away. This time, it was the other way around.
It was precisely that stereotyped impression at the time that made Jian Nu unprepared and was defeated by the heavy armored infantry of the Taishan Battalion.
Du Du saw that his side had no power to resist, so he did not dare to stay any longer and ran towards the stable.
But Qi Yuanbi, who was at the front, could see all of this.
He is not a fool. With so many armored soldiers to protect him, he must be an important person.
Even though he was wearing dozens of kilograms of heavy armor and had been fighting for a while, he had no intention of saving his energy and pursued him without hesitation.
At that moment, he had no time to organize his troops, so he just shouted loudly along the way for the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty to follow him.
Instead, he summoned more than twenty people and charged away with great momentum.
"Master, it's not good, a dog is coming towards us."
Du Du heard the news and realized that it was indeed the case. At this time, he was already panicking and only wanted to run away.
He did not realize at all that there were far more people around him than the pursuing Ming army.
I saw him speeding up his pace. If he wasn't in a dangerous place on the battlefield, he would have wanted to take off his armor while running, so as to reduce the burden on his body.
And when his slaves saw that their master was just running away, they had no intention of rushing to resist, and ran towards the stable without looking back.
Among the people, if someone said that there were more than 20 soldiers chasing more than 100 slaves, they would be considered crazy.
But in this battle, Qi Yuanbi really did it.
At this time, he wanted to perform meritorious service with all his heart. Adrenaline was flooding his body like a life-threatening force, and he ran faster and faster.
The other sergeants also realized that there was a great achievement ahead of them, and like Qi Yuanbi, they did not lag behind him at all.
Du Du just got on his horse, looked up and saw that the pursuing Ming army was less than twenty steps away.
At this time, he regained consciousness a little and was about to order the cavalry to charge over, when a slave gasped and said:
"Master, retreat quickly, Minggou's cavalry is coming."
Du Du immediately turned around and saw that in the other direction, a large group of Ming army cavalry was coming towards him.
He had no idea of fighting, so he hit the horse's butt hard with the whip in his hand. The horse was stimulated and quickly rushed out of the stable.
