Chapter 30: The First Battle (2)


The white armor advanced very fast, and the phalanx commander had just finished giving the order.

They had already approached about ten steps in front of the phalanx.

Generally speaking, the hit rate of firecrackers is relatively low.

This refers to the fact that at about fifty steps, when the firecrackers are closer to hit, the firecrackers become more accurate than bows and arrows.

Therefore, when the first burst of gunfire sounds, a large number of people are approaching.

The white armor of the phalanx fell in front of the formation.

The formation of the Ming army was not in chaos.

Even if Bai Jia rushed in and killed a soldier in front, he was quickly stabbed by several bayonets from other directions and fell in a pool of blood.

At this time, the Han troops behind were forced to rush forward, but their timid appearance and darting eyes indicated that they could not pose any threat to the phalanx.

Sure enough, when the phalanx infantry all moved forward with their bayonets drawn, As they left, the Han army quickly collapsed and fled backwards.

The swords of the armored soldiers behind them could not stop the flow of people backwards.

The cavalry battalion had been advancing slowly with the phalanx on both wings.

At this time, Yang Guanggao on the left wing waved his hand and led the cavalry towards the fleeing Han army.

Cao Wenzhao on the right wing moved almost at the same time as him.

Soon, the Han army rushed into chaos.

In the formation of the armored soldiers behind them, the armored soldiers also began to flee backwards.

Du Du sighed and fled back with his soldiers.

At this time, the drums sounded eight times in a row, and the infantry stopped to be on guard.

After a short rest, they began to pursue.

The heavy troops began to clean up the battlefield.

They first carried their wounded soldiers to the medical officer at the back, then gave the surviving Jiannu a stab wound, beheaded him, and put away his armor.

The last row of infantry phalanx that did not participate in the battle chased the front on foot.

The cavalry battalion followed Jiannu closely.

The muskets had already been thrown on the ground.

Everyone held a saber.

When they ran past the enemy, they lowered their sabers.

The speed of the horses would make it easy for the swords to cut down Jiannu.

After chasing for about ten miles, Yang Guanggao ordered the pursuit to be stopped because Jiannu's remaining troops appeared in front of them.

The formation was fierce and there were horse traps in front, leaving only a few narrow passages for Jiannu's defeated troops to pass.

Yang Guanggao also wanted to see if he had a chance.

A hail of arrows came from the opponent, hitting the unarmored legs of several cavalrymen and injuring dozens of horses.

The cavalry had no long-range firepower, so they had to rescue the wounded and retreat slowly.

Cao Wenzhao was not willing to give in.

After he was out of the shooting range of Jiannu, he did not dismount his horse.

He fired ten arrows from the left and right and hit ten Jiannu, causing the cavalry to cheer loudly.

Everyone was in a stalemate at a certain distance.

At this time, Hou Jin's ship came down from the upper reaches and slowly docked on the shore.

Later, the Jin army began to board the boats in batches.

After loading, they quickly sailed to the other side, and after getting off the boats, they sailed over again.

At this time, Zhou Yuji finally arrived with his infantry.

Yang Guanggao and Cao Wenzhao led their cavalry to get out of the way and spread out their wings, ready to chase and escape at any time.

Zhou Yuji ordered: "Three sections of shooting."

Then he personally used a drum to beat the rhythm for the infantry.

In this flat place, the range and damage of firecrackers far exceeded that of bows and arrows.

Coupled with the gap in armor between the Jin soldiers and the Ming army, the finishing process was extremely smooth.

The Ming army was wiped out with very few casualties before they could board the ship.

Most of the troops left behind, as well as some who have already boarded the ship After the Jin soldiers, Cao Wenzhao once again demonstrated the magical skill of opening the bow from left to right, with eight arrows and eight people, and they were already on the boat.

Amid the cheers of the Ming army, Cao Wenzhao controlled his trembling hands and slowly He raised his iron bow and shouted: "Everything is for the Ming Dynasty, everything is for the Emperor."

The soldiers also shouted together: "Everything is for the Ming Dynasty, everything is for the Emperor."

Du Du on the other side of the river looked at the bullet hole in his left arm, listening to the deafening shouts, and closed his eyes in pain.

How will King Khan punish himself this time?

Oh my god, even Jingying is so capable of fighting, is there any justice in this world?

After the battlefield was cleaned, a total of 1,437 enemies were killed in this battle, including 613 slaves, and no prisoners were taken.

A total of eight Niulu flags with white flags and one main flag were seized.

A total of 359 people were killed in the Beijing camp, 286 were seriously injured, and 633 were slightly injured.

According to the medical officer's report, 359 people were seriously injured.

Most of them can save their lives.

The army rested for a day and then rushed back to Guangning City in two days.

Wang Huazhen arranged a grand welcome scene outside the city gate.

He had always wanted to attack Jiannu, but every time he returned with a great defeat, and not a single soldier escaped.

This time the Beijing camp went to battle, and only the real barbarians were beheaded.

There were more than six hundred, which made him feel proud, and it also proved that his attack strategy was correct.

Of course he was happy, so when Yang Guanggao asked him for Cao Wenzhao, he immediately agreed.

And he also had a proud thing.

He sent troops to train guerrilla Mao Wenlong, go deep into the rear of the slave establishment, and regain the coastal areas.

After Mao Wenlong arrived in Zhenjiang on July 14, he secretly communicated with Chen Liangce of the Zhenjiang Army as an internal response, and led more than a hundred people to attack at night.

They captured Tong Yangzhen, a relative of the late Jin Dynasty, his son Tong Fengnian, his nephew Tong Songnian, etc., and later sent Chen Zhong and others Attacked Shuangshan, captured Houjin guerrilla Miao Yizhen and others, and the news of the victory was sent to the capital by horse.

"Guanggao congratulates the court, the emperor, and the governor."

Hearing such good news, Yang Guanggao was also happy.

Mao Wenlong caused such a big incident in Zhenjiang, which can contain Hou Jin's troops, which is more conducive to Guangning's persistence.

On August 15th, Jingying embarked on the road back to Beijing.

The captured and lightly wounded people had been taken away by carriages from the baggage battalion first, while the seriously injured people were taken care of by medical officers in Guangning until they recovered from their injuries before returning to Beijing.

So we practiced again on the way, and by the time we arrived at Shanhaiguan, we had already increased our speed to forty miles a day.

After the news of Mao Wenlong's victory reached the capital, the Ministry of War listened to Wang Huazhen's advice and urged Xiong Tingbi to leave the customs to supervise the division.

Therefore, at this time, Xiong Tingbi was already stationed in Youtunwei, more than a hundred miles away from Guangning.

Yang Guanggao visited him when he passed by, and Xiong Tingbi criticized Wang Huazhen's offensive strategy in front of them.

He felt that it was too simple to think that Liaodong could be defeated in one fell swoop by relying on the Western captives and internal forces.

Several people deeply agreed, but they couldn't agree with Xiong Tingbi casually.

They were officers in the Beijing camp.

If they expressed their opinions at will, they would be regarded as the emperor's will, allowing people with other motives to take advantage of them.

If anything happened, it would be a disaster. broken.

After returning to the capital, he first presented the flag to the Imperial Ancestral Temple, and then enshrined the list of sacrificed soldiers in the Martyrs' Shrine.

After all this was done, the emperor came to the capital camp in person.

After entering the camp, all the generals greeted the emperor with military salutes.

Cao Wenzhao suppressed his urge to kneel down and awkwardly used military salutes to salute the emperor.

After returning the military salute, Zhu Youxiao sat down with the generals at all levels in the large tent of the Beijing camp.

The eunuchs who followed began to pass on the decree: all the battalions in the Beijing camp were renamed the Guards, and Yang Guangkui was promoted to the third rank of Commander of the Guards, and he was in charge of all the units of the Guards.

Yang Guanggao was the commander of the Guards, and he was in charge of the various departments of the Guards.

Zhou Yuji was the commander of the Guards, and he was in charge of the infantry battalion.
