Chapter 129: The Soft Namu Bell
There were also loud screams accompanied by the sound of horse hooves. With the order to withdraw from Haoge, a Ming cavalry of thousands of people appeared in front of everyone. The leader was Wu Chengfeng, the commander of the cavalry battalion of the Yingzhou Army. This was the second time he led the cavalry to confront Haoge today.
Thousands of cavalry shouted the slogan of "Wan Sheng" and rushed towards the still chaotic Later Jin cavalry. This trend instantly swallowed many Later Jin cavalry who rushed too far.
Objectively speaking, the individual quality of the Later Jin cavalry is higher than that of the Yingzhou cavalry, but fighting is certainly brave, but this is not absolute. The fighting of the army, the military discipline, equipment and morale of the two armies are the most important factors. Although the Later Jin cavalry is brave, most of them have not yet come back to their senses from the explosion just now, and the war horses under their crotch have not been comforted. More than 2,000 people are scattered on the wide grassland, and they are in a mess. In this state, the consequences can be imagined against the Yingzhou cavalry lined up in charge.
Seeing that the Later Jin cavalry were shot down one by one, Haoge's steel teeth were about to be broken. While fleeing back under the escort of dozens of Goshhas, he gritted his teeth and cursed the Yingzhou cavalry that had defeated him twice in a row.
The desolate and sad retreat horn kept ringing on the battlefield. Although the surviving Later Jin cavalry was extremely unwilling to give up, they were not allowed to urge their horses to escape to their own formation in the face of the Ming cavalry that flocked to them.
When Haoge escaped to the formation and counted the troops, he was rude and cruel by nature and could not help but burst into tears. This time he lost more than 700 Jurchen elites. Unlike last time, Dorgon and Yuetuo miraculously did not scold him, but instead frowned at the Ming army's formation.
Although they did not witness the battle just now because they were too far away, countless sergeants responsible for observing had already reported the battle situation to them along the way, and they were very helpless about such a result. Objectively speaking, Haoge did not have much responsibility for the failure this time. If you want to be good, you can only blame the Yingzhou army for the endless firearms that are so powerful. Who would have thought that they would throw ten thousand enemies into front of their own formation without regard for the danger of bombing themselves. The huge explosion sounded even scared people, let alone war horses?
In particular, war horses are still a very sensitive animal. Any excessive noise, firelight or excessively intense movements of riders will cause them to be frightened. Once war horses are frightened on the battlefield, it will be a terrible disaster for the riders. In another time and space, although cavalry were still active on the battlefield until the 20th century, all war horses that could go to the battlefield were trained with special explosions and gunfire sounds. Only when facing explosions and gunfire sounds can they go to the battlefield. In this era when hot weapons first appeared, the Jurchens naturally would not think of this, and they did not have the conditions to train war horses like this, so they immediately caught them blind when they encountered such a situation.
Just when Haoge was in great pain, Namuzhong, Barth and others in the Ming Dynasty also cried bitterly as they watched the reassembled Mongolian cavalry.
After the Mongolian cavalry reassembled, Barte sent people to count the number of people and found that the troops, which had originally had more than 6,000 people, had lost nearly half of them in less than half an hour. This means that Namuzhong could no longer know what this means, which means that their tribe can only barely protect themselves for at least five years, and any tribe with some strength can bully them, which is undoubtedly a step further for the already weak Chahar tribe.
Looking at Namu Zhong and several concubines who were crying in the rain, Yueyang just looked silently and did not express comfort. In Yueyang's opinion, the performance of these cavalrymen in the Chahar tribe was really bad just now. It was so bad that they were driven away by the Later Jin cavalry, which was only half of them, as if they were herd sheep. If the Yingzhou army had not fired timely to drive away the Mongolian cavalry who tried to attack the formation, they would have suffered even themselves. The sentence "Pig-like teammate" was fully reflected just now.
At this time, it was not only Namu Zhong. Even Siqintu, who once mainly surrendered to the Later Jin Dynasty, was silent and stood dejectedly. Judging from the battle just now, the Jurchens had no trace of pity for them. Judging from their cruelly driving the Mongolian cavalry to attack the Ming army formation, they clearly wanted to kill the Chahar tribe. But this was good. From now on, anyone in the Chahar tribe who wanted to surrender to the Jurchens would have to consider it carefully.
After a while, Namu Zhong, whose eyes were swollen like peaches, opened his hazy eyes and cried to Yueyang, "Master Yue. What should we do next? Our Chahar tribe all listened to you!"
As soon as Namu Zhong said this, Yue Yang looked at her with a smile for a while before laughing: "Doro Grand Marshal, you no longer consider submitting to the Jurchens this time?"
Namuzhong's face turned sad and said with hatred: "The Jurchens regarded my Chahar tribe as pigs and sheep, and slaughtered countless warriors. How can we submit to these cruel butchers?"
After Namu Zhong said the words, all the nobles and concubines of the Chahar tribe remained silent. It was obvious that the actions of the Jurchens just now had completely disappointed them.
Yue Yang nodded and his expression calmed down: "Since that's the case, then from now on we will be allies fighting side by side. Since we are allies, we will naturally fulfill our ally's obligations. If your tribe is in trouble, we will naturally help."
After hearing Yueyang's words, Namuzhong looked at the top leaders of the Chahar tribe around him, and his originally slightly nervous expression also relaxed. Now they are already scared by the Jurchens. If Yueyang abandons them at this time, they really don't know what to do. Even if the Jurchens don't come to attack them, they may not be able to long before they will be annexed by other Mongolian tribes that have heard the news. The Chahar tribe can't withstand any blows now.
While Yueyang was talking, a loud trumpet sounded in front of him. After the battle just now, Dorgon and Yuetuo finally stopped using any means. They understood that in the face of the Yingzhou army, they had no other way but to attack. After all, the war was still strength, and any strategy must be based on corresponding strength.
Faced with an opponent like Yueyang, Yue Tuo and Dorgon also used all their strength. Not only did they transfer shield chariots and heavy shields from the back baggage team, but they also dropped the cannon fodder troops. These cannon fodder troops included North Korea, Mongolia and other servants and auxiliary soldiers who were dependent on survival. They attacked the Ming army's formation together with the Later Golden Vests, Infantry Armor, Dead Soldiers and other troops.
With countless low and high-pitched horn sounds, shield chariots slowly advanced towards the Yingzhou army formation under the push of cannon fodder, and behind the shield chariot were auxiliary soldiers holding heavy shields and a famous archer.
Looking at the Later Jin soldiers and horses that were rushing in front of him, the Mongolian concubines and generals standing beside Yueyang began to change their faces. Siqintu couldn't help but tremble: "General Yue... General Yue, the Jurchens are planning to destroy us in one fell swoop. What should we do?"
Yue Yang looked at her meaningfully and said lightly: "The soldiers come and the generals come to block the water and the soil. Since the Jurchens are coming to die, we will just take them back."
Siqintu couldn't help but say, "Call back... what you said is light... not that easy."
The Jurchens' bravery had already taken root in Siqintu's heart. At this moment, when she saw the soldiers and horses that seemed to be flooding the sky, her heart immediately became panicked.
"boom……"
As Yue Yang finished speaking, a rumbling sound of cannons sounded in front of him. It turned out that the twelve six-pound red artillery cannons arranged in front of the formation of Yue Yang began to show their power.
After the Ming army fired, Jiala Zhangjing, who was urging the auxiliary soldiers to speed up, immediately saw smoke rising from the Ming army's infantry battle formation. Round iron balls came straight towards them, hitting them fiercely. After the iron balls landed, they continued to jump, making people's hands and horses fly across, and rolling directly into a bloody road.
The power of artillery is huge. In front of the artillery, no matter how brave the people are, they must lower their proud heads. As soon as these artillery bombarded, they immediately caused a commotion in the Later Jin army. Coupled with the neighing and howling of the wounded soldiers or horses, the morale of these Later Jin horses was even more severely damaged.
This Jiala Zhangjing shouted desperately at the surroundings, "Don't be chaotic, please calm me down, anyone who moves around will kill you!"
At this time, the Later Jin army had advanced to a distance of less than 500 steps from the Ming army, and the artillery of the Yingzhou army could easily hit them.
President Qian of the artillery battalion held up his sword and shouted with all his might: "Fire the cannon!"
The deafening sound of cannons sounded, thirty-two tiger squatting cannons, and twelve red and six-pound cannons fired together. Amid the howling of a large group of shells, dozens of iron balls of various sizes smashed into the Jin soldiers' formations, making them cry and cry. The originally neatly arranged formations were swept through the dense rain of bullets. Especially those red and six-pound cannons, the more than a dozen six-pound iron balls they shot with the cannons were even more lethal. No matter who was rubbed and touched, they were either missing or broken legs.
Looking at the tragic situation in his own army, Dorgon, who was surfing behind, turned pale. He stared at the front and murmured: "Is the weapons of Yingzhou so powerful?"
Yue Tuo closed his eyes and took a deep breath of air filled with the faint smell of gunpowder, his face full of bitterness.
