Good news: Zhu Lian transmigrated, becoming Emperor Chongzhen of the Great Ming, Zhu Youjian.
Bad news: Today is the tenth day of the third month of Chongzhen's seventeenth year, and Li Z...
As soon as Oboi entered the battlefield, he found that something was wrong.
The infantry on the Ming army's flanks quickly retreated back into the chariots and used spears to repel the enemy.
The besieged Tulai and other cavalrymen thus escaped from danger.
They retreated without waiting for me to attack?
Aobai looked confused.
What the hell is the Ming army doing?
At this time, the heavy armored infantry had already arrived dozens of steps away from the flank of the Ming army. After dismounting, they immediately rushed over with weapons in hand.
The heavy cavalry led by Oboi did not directly attack the Ming army's flank, but surrounded the Ming army formation, looking for flaws.
Soon he found out why the Ming army's flank retreated so quickly, because the Ming army had broken through the Eight Banners infantry formation from the front.
Huang Degong led the way, chopping, sweeping, smashing and stabbing with his iron whip. Under his leadership, the morale of the Ming army infantry was greatly boosted, and they attacked directly from the front.
Those heavy armored infantry and Sauron soldiers couldn't stop them at all.
The Ming army got some spears from somewhere.
These spears have bladed hooks on top and hard iron rings on the bottom. During battles, two or three Ming soldiers would attract the attention of the heavy armored and white armored soldiers, while another Ming soldier would use the bladed hooks on his spears to hook their legs, and then pull hard, causing these heavily armored soldiers with full defense points to fall.
After he fell, the others rushed over and smashed or trampled him to death.
Without the restraint of the heavy armored and white armored soldiers, the Jiannu infantry formation was quickly broken through by the Ming army.
Huang Degong led his men to attack left and right in the formation, instantly disrupting the entire army formation.
The Eight Banners soldiers had not seen such a fierce Ming army for a long time and were simply frightened by the Ming army's infantry.
Those who are brave enough can still resist, but those who are timid will just turn around and run away.
"Kill, kill, kill!" The Ming army following Huang Degong were like possessed by the god of war. They stared with bloodshot eyes and killed anyone they saw and hacked anyone they met.
"White...white-pole soldiers?" Duoduo, who was several miles away, holding a clairvoyance in his hand, was a little absent-minded. "Qin Liangyu is here?"
In the third year of Chongzhen, he saw this kind of weapon when he followed Huang Taiji into the pass to plunder.
At that time, Qin Liangyu led the White Spear Soldiers to attack and, under the command of Sun Chengzong, recovered the four cities of Luanzhou, Yongping, Qian'an and Zunhua, which left a deep impression on him.
This weapon seems to be a natural enemy of other types of soldiers, especially heavy armored infantry. Even if they are wearing ten layers of armor, once their legs are hooked, the only result is death.
"Your Majesty the Tenth Prince, the left wing is already in a state of collapse. It would be better to let the central army speed up and go to provide support." Seeing Duoduo in a daze, the deputy governor of the Bordered White Banner reminded him loudly.
"Ah?" Duoduo finally recovered. After a brief analysis, he issued an order: "No, I will give you two thousand cavalry. You will follow the heavy infantry to attack the Ming army's flank, and then fight back to cut off the retreat of those Ming soldiers who have rushed out of the formation."
Although the deputy governor was a little confused, he rushed out without any hesitation.
After seeing the Ming army's center and left wing speeding forward, Duoduo ordered: "Order the center and right wing to continue to move forward slowly!"
He did not dare to let the central army speed up to support the right wing, otherwise the defeat of the right wing would be transmitted to the soldiers of the central army, causing a real defeat.
As long as the center and right wing are not in chaos, he will only lose a few thousand infantry at most.
Among those infantrymen, except for the heavy armored infantry and Sauron soldiers, most of the others were from the Eight Banners of Han, and their deaths were not a pity.
The left wing of the Jiannu army had already begun to collapse at this time.
Faced with Huang Degong's surprise attack that broke into the formation, they did not have the courage to stop them.
Especially the Jiannu army at the back, they did not expect that the Ming army could break through the defense line formed by heavy armored soldiers and white armored soldiers.
By the time they reacted, the Ming army had already arrived.
All the Eight Banners soldiers had only one thought: run!
If you run fast, you can survive, but if you run slow, you will die. These Ming troops are too fierce, and even the heavy armored infantry in front can't stand it, how can they stand it?
joke!
Victory or defeat depends on just a moment!
From the moment the Jiannu army's formation was breached, failure was inevitable.
The defeated troops retreated like a tide, and no one could stop them.
A captain was about to command his soldiers to go back to meet the enemy when he was knocked down by the shoulder of someone next to him and then trampled to death.
Huang Degong was already blood-thirsty at this time. After rushing out for dozens of steps, he suddenly remembered something, grabbed the soldier carrying the flag, turned around and rushed back to kill.
Just after taking a few steps, he encountered Aobai who broke through from the flank and attacked him!
The heavy infantry led the way in front, and Oboi reaped the rewards from behind.
Both sides were stunned when they met.
Huang Degong was stunned as to where this group of Jiannu came from?
What Oboi was stunned about was why the Ming army did not pursue but instead attacked backwards!
"Kill!" Huang Degong rushed forward waving his iron whip and fought with the heavy armored infantry in front.
No matter what, just kill him first!
The situation at this time is very complicated.
From the perspective of the Ming army, in front of the main force on the right wing was Oboi, and in front of Oboi were more than a thousand Eight Banners heavy infantry.
In front of the heavy infantry was Huang Degong, and in front of Huang Degong were the defeated Eight Banners infantry!
Huang Degong attacked from the front to the back, and the main force of the Ming army attacked from the back to the front!
The two sides fought each other!
Soon, Oboi led the cavalry to rush out from the side.
It was not a wise move to fight with infantry when the enemy had spears and chevaux de frise, not to mention that the Ming army also had infantry bows and various firearms.
When the Eight Banners heavy infantry saw that there were Ming troops in front and behind them, they immediately fled.
Fortunately, the cavalry led by Oboi attacked from the flank again, and these heavy infantry were able to escape under the harassment of the cavalry.
After returning to the military formation, Huang Degong immediately led his troops to retreat in an orderly manner.
It was not that he did not dare to fight, but that he saw that the main force of the Jiannu and his own main force were moving forward.
If they don't retreat, the main forces of both sides will inevitably fight each other.
This is not the situation he wants to see.
Seeing the Ming army's right wing infantry slowly retreating, Oboi had to return empty-handed.
Except for the heavy cavalry who dared to charge the infantry in formation, other cavalry could only harass and cut off the corners!
The Jiannu cavalry who were fighting with Wang Yongji and Ma Dai charged for a while, then fired two rounds of arrows at both sides of the Ming army's right wing and retreated.
As for the heavy cavalry sent by Duoduo, they encountered retreat before they could show their strength. Since other troops retreated, they had no choice but to retreat as well.
Crunch...Crunch...
The wheels of the chariot made a harsh grinding sound.
The battlefield, which was filled with smoke and shouts of killing just now, suddenly fell into silence.
The afternoon sun was particularly scorching. The soldiers took off their helmets and kept wiping the sweat off their faces.
Weng Zhiqi came to Huang Degong, seeming to want to say something but stopping himself.
He had a feeling of winning but not winning!
The feeling of victory is that of breaking through the enemy's army and defeating the enemy's infantry, and the feeling of not winning is that of not being able to cover the enemy's losses.
"General, today..."
"Victory!"
"But..."
"No buts, whoever kills more people than dies wins!"
"Cheer up, my men! Our army has won a great victory today! Let's have a feast tonight to celebrate!"
