Anta, who had retreated five miles, saw less than a thousand remnant soldiers gathered around him and lost his mind. The soldiers with horses did leave the battlefield, but this did not meet his expectations. Because the Ming army covered up and killed them.
The distance from them was not far, not even a mile.
He originally thought of changing the situation of the war by leaving the battlefield and getting a chance to breathe, but as a result, this retreat actually resulted in an embarrassing situation where he was chased by the Ming army. After fighting with the Ming army for so many years, this was the first time he encountered it.
In such a situation, the Zalan soldiers and horses he brought were actually disabled. Although there were more than a thousand people, there were less than 500 soldiers among them, and the rest were all servants.
The general who fell in front of the battle will be executed if his body is not recovered according to the military discipline of the Qing army. Anta has no way out now. He must turn around and rush back to the battlefield without the team being organized. Retreat here.
The prisoners are in the same situation. Their master is trapped in the enemy camp. If they don't rescue their master or snatch their bodies out, the whole family will be beheaded when they return.
"Kill back. As long as the Ming army is pushed back, I will go to the commander Ezhen to intercede for everyone's forgiveness." Anta turned the horse's head, boosting morale while urging the horse to fight back to the battlefield.
With the leader in charge, the rest of the Qing army also kept up with the pace, and turned back with their sabers drawn.
The Ming army, in their excitement, had no time to think about why the retreating Qing army had returned, and the two armies fought together again.
In terms of the martial arts skills of individual soldiers, this new Ming army is really not much worse than the Qing army. They are all soldiers selected from the Beijing camp and the people. Their physical fitness and martial arts are not bad. At the officer level, they are very good.
Most of them are the children of generals who have grown up with killing skills since primary school. The only thing they are worse than the Qing army is their battlefield sense of smell and reaction speed, which is the so-called war literacy.
Anta led the cavalry into the enemy formation, but the Ming army did not appear to be scattered. Instead, they were wrapped up and killed by the messy Ming army squad, as if they were invaded by mud.
It's like the sea. Originally, the Ming army was just a dispersed formation, and it didn't matter whether they charged away or not.
On the main battlefield in the northeast corner, Turg was constantly paying attention to the changes in the battlefield situation on Anta's side. The problem was that Turg couldn't understand the development of the battle situation. It was clear that the Ming army had been overrun by Fu Kachan's army.
They dispersed, but why are the two armies still entangled? After entangled for a long time, why did the troops on their side retreat back? Fortunately, after retreating for a while, the army killed them again.
It seems that the combat power of the Ming army out of the city is not low, and they actually forced Fu Kachan to use the carbine tactic. He wanted to distance himself and then turn around to hit the Ming army hard. But why does the situation on this battlefield always feel so different?
Something's wrong, by the way, why didn't you see Fu Kachan's handsome flag? He won't be trapped in the bright formation, right?
"Zhunta, hurry up and take a group of troops to Fu Kachan's military formation to check the situation. Why do you feel something is wrong?" Turge felt his heart beating suddenly at this time, and he prayed quickly in his heart, but don't worry about what happened.
That kind of thing.
Before this, Liu Yuanbin on the other side of the battlefield was also anxiously making arrangements. The three main battle groups rushed into the battlefield, but now the troops directly under his brigade were useless and were dragged at the end of the battlefield.
At this time, it is impossible to order the sergeants on the front line to stop the attack. But the problem is that if we continue to pursue like this, we will almost catch up with the Qing army. We cannot use these three thousand people to fight against the Qing army.
Camp, what should we do?
"Brigade, we can't fight like this. The army is in danger of falling into the main enemy formation!" A general assigned to Liu Yuanbin's brigade, Xiaotang's army staff, came over to remind his general that the battle situation had changed.
"Yes, but the army can't retreat now."
"Brigade, the top priority is to allow our army to retreat calmly. We must establish fire support points for retreat. This is what His Majesty specifically mentioned during the lecture."
"Retreat fire support point? How to build it? I don't have any troops."
"Why don't we have soldiers? The directly-affiliated troops are not just soldiers. The staff at the lower level thought that the cavalry reconnaissance company should be quickly arranged to the flank of the battlefield, and at the same time, the artillery company and the baggage company should be ordered to build fortifications and artillery positions as soon as possible. The artillery positions should be arranged diagonally for convenience.
During the war, artillery bombardment was used to block the pursuit of the Qing army. By the way, some people from the brigade had to be sent to collect the dead and wounded of our troops as soon as possible and cut off the heads of the Tatars who died in the battle. This was a great achievement.
.”
"You're a smart kid. This strategy is good. Hurry up and send the order to arrange it like this."
After asking the staff officer who had made the suggestion to pass on the order, Liu Yuanbin turned around and quickly arranged for the platoon of guards around him to harvest the battlefield and collect the rebels.
When Zhunta led more than a thousand soldiers to the battlefield, it was hard for him to believe what he saw. Zhalan's entire army of soldiers and horses, and now only six or seven hundred soldiers and horses were left beside his brother Anta.
We don't know whether the others died in the battle or were dispersed, and they are all missing.
"Anta, where is General Fukhachan?"
"He fell into the formation. When I led people back to the battlefield to rescue him, he had disappeared. I couldn't find him for a while, but he fell into the Ming army's formation and almost couldn't break out."
"Trapped in the formation?" Zhun Ta immediately exclaimed when he heard this, and at the same time looked at the Ming army in front of him.
This Ming army doesn't look out of the ordinary! They have average armor, average appearance, and mostly infantry. How did they defeat our elite Qing troops to look like this?
After Anta's counterattack with his soldiers and horses, the running new army finally stopped charging and was now catching its breath on the spot.
"The brigade commander ordered the entire army to retreat to the rear defense fortifications as soon as possible without any mistakes!" The soldiers on the front line finally received the first formal military order from the general after the war.
The new army reacted and turned on the spot and began to retreat.
"Ah Hui, we have to quickly lead people to chase the Ming army!" Anta saw the chasing Ming army start to retreat, and he suddenly became anxious! He suffered such a big loss in this battle, if this force is allowed to go again
The Ming army retreated calmly, but this was really troublesome. It was unclear whether they would survive after they returned.
"Anta, the Ming army can't catch up with you! You see, although they retreated very scattered, they actually cooperated with each other and supported each other. In addition, when I came over, I saw you rushing out of the Ming formation. Let's kill
There is no advantage in entering the Ming formation, but there is a danger of being trapped in the formation. Look at the front and right side. There is a Ming army cavalry there. I can vaguely see the smoke. They should have firearms. And the Ming army is large.
They have set up camp four miles behind, and they also have artillery. We only have more than two thousand soldiers and horses in our hands. If we rush in and fail to win, we may be trapped in the enemy's formation and unable to escape. For this plan
, we can only hang behind them first, and then send people to the main camp to ask the general and ask him to send some reinforcements, and then make plans."
After all, Zhun Ta is a veteran. He judged the current battlefield situation when he arrived at the front line and before he met the enemy. Facing the enemy in front of him, the thousand men in his hand had no advantage. Whether an army has combat capability?
, the most important thing is the way they march on the battlefield. Any army that is scattered and orderly is not weak in combat power. The Ming army in front of us is scattered and orderly. I have not seen anything like this for many years.
Ming Army, Zhun Ta still heard his father say that only the Jiading Battalion under the command of Li Chengliang, the commander-in-chief of Liaodong in the Ming Dynasty, had such ability. I didn't expect to see such a troop in the capital of the Ming Dynasty today. Could this be the case?
