Chapter 386: Killing red eyes, still alone

Zhao Neng's order was very simple, but in Jiaozhou Camp, the daily training had long allowed soldiers to have an automatic understanding of this forward and backward.

If the enemy judged the tactical actions of Jiaozhou Camp based on this order, it would definitely suffer. The commander of the artillery team shouted at several subordinates with mops stained with water and brushed the ten almost red artillery cannons several times in a row, and the hissing water vapor was rising.

It seems that it will not cool down for a while. The artillery soldiers of the Dengzhou Army were quite dilapidated to add back seats to the artillery, put on carriages, and retreated into the formation in the gaps in the platoon.

The musket soldiers retreated to the gaps of each platoon according to the settings in the platoon. The drum sounds of the spear platoon's steps and rhythms sounded again, and the soldiers walked forward.

At this time, the length and thickness of the sloop array were not enough to hinder the observation of the two wings and the central army. The commander of the Tartar army, Abatai, looked at the changes in the array opposite, thinking about it.

It is often believed that the artillery, muskets, and spearmen are well-founded in advance and retreating. Under the orders, each army seems to be a person rather than a team. Such orders and disciplines have once again proved that the army in front of us is a strong army, which is really difficult to crack.

The generals of the Tartar army were all embarrassed. The Ming army in front of them was not the Ming soldiers in the usual sense at all. Although only more than a thousand Mongolian light cavalry and nearly two thousand Han soldiers had died, these troops were used as cannon fodder, rather than their main combat power, which was not regretful or distressing.

But after the test, the next battle should be serious. No matter who can fight, it always takes time to develop a veteran who can fight. It doesn’t mean that you can practice it and you will be less than one. If you don’t have to speak outside the barrier, you will be less than the weight of your own words. You can’t bear to fight!

The situation in front of me was forced to move. Everyone felt ache in their hearts, but they didn't dare to say it. Compared to everyone's embarrassment and pity, the face of the general Abatai was extremely calm, but a look of relaxation appeared in his eyes.

In terms of observing words and expressions, no one can compare to Tulichen who is right next to Abatai. Such a noble man who is a little more aware of this is very sensitive to this. This Korqin Dibeile couldn't help but exclaim in his heart, saying that he was indeed the demeanor of a general.

Tan Tai and Yue Le both began to issue orders loudly, and the Mongolian Eight Banners cavalry on the left and right wings and the Manchu Eight Banners cavalry on the Eight Banners were all ready to attack.

No matter how embarrassed the front was, the chariots would rush into the Ming army's array. If the chariots had a slight impact, they could chasing the strange Ming army's array. The cavalry on both wings would immediately cover up the charge and completely destroy the opponent's army.

After the North Korean musketeers entered the range behind these snatches, they were brave enough to rush over and shoot, but at best, their muskets were just good quality fire gate guns, with their firing speed and range power. They were much worse than the coercive guns of Jiaozhou Camp.

As soon as they appeared, they were like those Han Eight Banners and were immediately killed by muskets. The Korean soldiers' ability was to fire muskets from afar. When they got close to charge, they did not have the courage or ability. When they saw that the muskets were not cheap, the other party's cannons came over like thunder. They immediately scattered like birds and beasts, and rushed back to their formation in a swarm.

A military general next to Abatai immediately ordered the execution of deserters, but was stopped by Abatai. Cannon fodder was also combat power. The infantry of the Mongolian Light Cavalry and Sanshun King had already been depleted a lot. It would be a bit too wasteful to kill these Korean soldiers who could control firearms.

Moreover, these Korean soldiers are troops supporting and covering the back, and strictly speaking, they are not deserters. After all, Abatai just found many reasons for others not to kill in order to keep this army.

The leader of the Han army was pushing the chariot in the middle, looking at the Ming army front in the square hole of the chariot shield. The closer and closer, the greater the grasp in his heart.

As long as you rush to the front and mess up the Ming army's strict line, it will not be as embarrassing as before, and you have not made any progress for a long time. You have been killed by the opponent's long-range firepower, which is really uncomfortable.

Even the Han Eight Banners who had never reached out to help and were consciously superior to others always carried their swords and shields on their backs, and then pushed the cart together. If one more person pushed the cart, the power of the cart would be greater, and the possibility of shaking the other party's array would be even greater.

It was about to come forward, and the officers, soldiers and soldiers of the Eight Banners of Han and the Sanshun King were shouting together. The chariots that had been moving forward suddenly accelerated and collided into the Ming army formation.

"Flat spear!Flat spear!!!"

The front line of Jiaozhou Camp was already full of spear soldiers. The non-commissioned officers and officers issued loud orders. The first row of spears was placed flat, the second row was placed flat, the third row was placed flat, the fourth, fifth, and sixth were to tilt upwards in turn. The same order for flat spears, the angles of each row of soldiers were different.

The soldiers of Jiaozhou Camp had long experienced such collisions. Although the soldiers of the Dengzhou Army had not experienced them, similar experiences were already shared by the battlefield records of the Huaiyang Army.

The dense spears pointed forward. If a spear was pushed by more than a dozen people, it would definitely be broken. However, if it was a spear, dozens, or even hundreds of spears, the force of the rushing forward of the car was scattered on hundreds of spears, then there would be no advantage.

The Dengzhou Army in Jiaozhou was like a big scabby, and was hit by a line of more than a dozen oars, and it was only bent backwards. The layered soldier lines absorbed the power of the oars, but the straight line became concave, but that's all.

The snatches that were highly expected could not be destroyed at all, or they could only storm the Jiaozhou camp, but for the soldiers of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty and the Sanshun King, it was enough to rush to this point. At least there was no need to passively endure the firearm shooting at this distance.

Since the Jurchens started their careers and became enemies with the Ming Dynasty, the battle between the Tartar soldiers and the Ming army had been quite difficult. However, after close combat, the Ming army was about to collapse immediately. Only the children and soldiers of the Ming generals could fight. However, the number of these people was too small. After gathering superior forces to encircle and annihilate them, the rest were pigs and sheep to be slaughtered.

The soldiers of the Eight Banners of Han and the men of the Sanshun King all picked up weapons. They seemed to see victory in front of them. In this case, if they go around from the edge, they are the eight characters. Only by rushing down from the shield of the chariot will it have the power of condescending.

Look at this group of Ming army teams, they look like hedgehogs in front, back, left and right, but it is very simple to cut down and kill on the head.

The Han soldiers among the Tartar soldiers climbed onto the wooden frame, then jumped off the shield with swords and shields, and greeted them with spears like forests.

After the momentum of the van was offset, the soldiers had free spears, and they desperately stabbed the Qing soldiers who were turning over the shield. Even if they held a shield and even if they jumped from a high place, they would suddenly rush down from a high place.

But how can a person resist the assassination of more than a dozen spears? Many places were stabbed in the air with more than a dozen blood holes, and blood splattered the faces of the Dengzhou soldiers below. Many new recruits faced such a battlefield for the first time, but were thrilled by such blood and harshness.

None of the soldiers behind the first row of ground lords could cause damage to the Jiaozhou Camp. The officers and soldiers in the Jiaozhou Camp all shouted in unison, and after the assassination was completed, the first row of ground lords were overturned to the ground. The wooden wheels of the lords could only be used on the flat ground. If there were obstacles and bulges on the ground, it would be very troublesome to move. The first row of lords was pushed down, and the second row of lords were stuck there and could not move forward.

At such a close distance, there is indeed a chance to fight with your body. At such a close distance, you can't run away, and the only way is to fight.

Needless to say, the Eight Banners of Han, the soldiers of the Sanshun King were covered with blood from the same clan. They never thought that they would be forgiven. Since they were dead, it would be better to fight.

But if you fight, you will only make your death look better. The spear soldiers in the front rows of Dengzhou Army were already somewhat unrestrained by non-commissioned officers. Ping held his spear and strode over the overturned cart and rushed to the Han soldiers of the Qing Tartars.

The soldiers were shouting loudly, as if the beast was yelling before death, and the soldiers of the Dengzhou Army were also shouting, but the shouting was very simple, with only one word.

"kill!!!"

The sword and shield soldiers look majestic, but the length of the weapons is not enough. Whether it is chopping or assassination, they are not as good as spears. The space behind the van is relatively cramped. For the convenience of movement and rushing, they can only use big swords and shields. However, now the spear soldiers in front of them, and the spear soldiers with superior power, have no effect at all.

The soldiers wielding big swords and shields were assassinated mercilessly by soldiers holding spears. The massive formation of oars was shattered by artillery artillery, and the remaining forces were all killed by the spears of the Dengzhou Army in Jiaozhou.

The relatives and nobles in Abatai's own formation all changed their faces. They looked at each other but hurriedly retracted their eyes. Listening to the shocking sound of killing from the Ming army, the Tartar army led by Abatai was quiet and their morale was extremely low.

The cavalry on the left and right wings were already ready to launch, and Yue Le and Tan Tai were watching here, but Abatai still did not issue an order.

Since entering the pass, Korqin Beiletulichen has always had no confidence. At this time, the battle situation has turned into this. The surroundings are silent, and he is even speechless. However, when he secretly looks at Abatai who is riding on the horse, he finds that the general is gently whipping his legs with a horse whip.

People who often ride horses are not unfamiliar with this behavior. Only one person will do this when he is very leisurely and relaxed. This has already lost nearly 3,000 soldiers. Why can Abatai be so relaxed? Could it be that he really has a clear mind, and even Tulichen is also relieved.

"Li Rui!!"

Abatai was in the central army, behind him was the army of the Han Eight Banners and the soldiers of the Sanshun King. The leader Li Rui was led by the subordinate Li Rui. Although the Han Eight Banners were not under his jurisdiction, the Han army system this time had the highest status, so he was the commander of the Central Army. Of course, this official position was really lower.

However, this also shows that the Han army's status in the Tartars army is really pitiful.

Hearing Abatai's call, the Han army's leader Li Rui hurriedly rode over. Although Li Rui was tall, his servile attitude made people feel that he was humble and looked down upon. No matter what others thought, Li Rui himself was extremely excited.

The ability to summon the general alone also shows his own position. If he did it well, he might be able to make a world when he returned to the outside world this time, because the establishment of the two systems of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty and the King of the Three Shuns. The Han people who rebeled from the Ming Dynasty were basically limited to these two systems. It would be very difficult to have a chance to make a name for themselves, unless they were high-ranking talents like Hong Chengchou.

Ambition-friendly characters like Li Rui will naturally not be willing to do so. They are always looking for opportunities to stand out and make their own scenes. This battle in the pass is undoubtedly the best opportunity.

After being well-fashioned and appreciated by the relatives and nobles of the Manchu Eight Banners system, perhaps there is a possibility of having their own system. For these surrendered Han generals, this is not much different from the fact that they were resigning from this general to another general and changing their ranks.

Li Rui's slave's appearance made Abatai feel relieved. But this appearance also made Abatai feel very unconfident. What does this slave look like on the battlefield really make people have no foundation and are completely boneless. So what can they do on the battlefield?

But when things got to this point, the Han army's infantry really needed to charge into battle. General Abatai was ordered to squeeze out some smiles on his face and said warmly:

"Li Zuoling, when I was in Shengjing, I had heard of your name, saying that Zhongjin is a pillar of my Qing Dynasty!"

A veteran like Abatai is also good at saying good things to praise people at some point. As expected, as soon as he finished speaking, Li Rui on the other side showed an ecstasy expression on his face, and his bones were a little lighter. Li Rui looked grateful and said with a sob:

"The general said this...slave...slave really doesn't know...how."

"This time, Li Zuoleng's soldiers and horses moved forward so bravely, and they have always been the role model of our Qing army and horses. When the conquest is over, I will definitely report Li Zuoleng's meritorious deeds to the emperor. I will reward you with good meritorious officials... The Qing Dynasty never treats meritorious officials unfairly. Li Zuoleng is still a subordinate of King Sanshun. Well... When I go back this time, I will definitely carry Li Zuoleng's family into the flag to make your whole family glorious!!"

Abatai kept throwing out rewards. When Li Rui heard this, he was so excited that he could not do anything by himself, so he almost rolled down from his right away and knelt down.

After raising the flag, his status was equal to the same as that of the Jurchens and no longer belonged to the third-class citizen of the Qing Dynasty like the Sanshun King system. What was the purpose of this subordinate Li Rui working hard to make a fuss about? Isn’t it just to get this step and enter the system of the Manchu Eight Banners and then move up step by step. It was really a matter of his own.

Since ancient times, traitors' thoughts have always been despised. If Li Rui's mentality is known to the people in Jiaozhou Camp opposite, he will definitely be able to peel off his skin and bones and not relieve his hatred.

"Li Zuoling, have you seen the Ming army's formation opposite? We have infantry from the Eight Banners of Han and Sanshun Kings, as well as Korean musket soldiers. We set up a formation to attack according to the opposite way. I think the effect will not be much worse, and the Ming army will definitely feel a headache."

After saying so many good things and throwing out so many rewards, Abatai finally turned to the topic. In ecstasy, Li Rui immediately acted as if he listened with a stern and brave look. He also understood that the other party had promised such a high reward of the future and would definitely have to do something on his own.

The lives of the following Han Eight Banners and the soldiers of the King of Sanshun were not worth much to him, and they were not distressed, so they could use them as long as they should be. So no matter what Abatai said, he just nodded repeatedly.

"The Eight Banners of Han, the infantry of the Sanshun King, and the musket soldiers of Korea are all under your jurisdiction. Just drive the infantry forward and hold the front of the Ming army. When the army wins, you will be the first to make a contribution. I will definitely report to the emperor and give a lot of rewards!!"

"Please rest assured, the last general will definitely move forward bravely, devote all his efforts to serve our Qing Dynasty!!"

When the two sang together, Li Rui was already full of passion. As the assistant leader of the Sanshun King system, although his position was very high, it was of some use among the Han people in this system. In the Qing Dynasty, even a bannerman from the Eight Banners dared to get angry at the senior officials of the Sanshun King system, and the senior officials of the Sanshun King system had to endure it.

When did a person like Dorobel Abatai speak so kindly? This is the son of the elder brother of the Qing emperor, the elder Khan Nurhaci. This was the first time Li Rui met such treatment. He thought that even if his leader Kong Youde, Geng Jingzhong, Shang Kexi and others were probably not as good as they received in front of Abatai. What a great face!

Li Rui, the leader of the Han army in the Sanshun King system, received the order without hesitation. He immediately saluted Abatai, then drove his horse back to his own formation and dispatched the troops.

You can see the last chariot on the opposite side being pushed down by the spearmen. The soldiers hiding behind had nowhere to escape, so they had to fight in despair and were assassinated by the soldiers without any suspense. The screams when they were dying could be heard clearly from the main formation of the Tartar army.

Even though they had the upper hand in the two battles, the infantry team of Jiaozhou Camp still did not dare to take the initiative. Just now, the soldiers were chasing the lords and the soldiers behind the lords were red-eyed, and the queue was somewhat convex and deformed. You can see officers and personal guards in the Central Military Department leaving the line to urge them to return to the array.

Only when the van attack failed, the left and right-wing cavalry of the Qing army were ready to attack. If the opponent's large formation was pressing forward, they would attack immediately. Press the Ming army back. In front of a large number of cavalry, the opponent's musket soldiers and spear teams should be cautious in their actions, because if there is a little gap, they may be caught by the cavalry, and use the situation to turn this gap into a gap, break the gap into a flaw, and finally completely defeat it.

From the beginning of the war to the present, the real main force of the Tartar army, the Manchu Eight Banners and the Mongolian Eight Banners, have not been dispatched, and not being dispatched is also a threat. This is the so-called battlefield situation. When it is not launched, it will give people greater deterrence because everyone cannot touch the details.

The two sides confronted each other on this vast plain. Slowly, you tried each other with one move. The Dengzhou Army in Jiaozhou has always had an advantage, but Zhao Neng was in a stalemate. In any case, he felt that the other party was constantly sending scattered troops to the door and was killed.

Then his methods were teased by the other party bit by bit. The Dengzhou Army General Zhao Neng felt at this time as Li Meng led his lonely army to chase from Shandong to Northern Zhili. Then he recovered from Shandong. He was in the territory of the Ming Dynasty. He was obviously fighting at home, but he was an isolated army.

In theory, the Ming Dynasty should have shown the momentum of national war invasion, and the whole people were doing their best. However, Shandong soldiers and horses came out of Shandong to enter Hebei and fought against the Tatar army near Dongguang County.

However, there were more than 200,000 soldiers and horses in the north, and none of them came to support them. Only Jingzhou, the people in the north, were given the support of the soldiers and horses of Shandong. This was the support of the people and the rest, for fear of not hiding far away.

There were also wealthy families near the battlefield complaining that Shandong soldiers were really meddling in other people's business. If they hadn't stopped them here, the Tatar army would have gone to the south long ago. Wouldn't this be a local cause for trouble?

Fortunately, this statement did not reach the Dengzhou army, otherwise these soldiers who fought bloodyly would have to vomit blood.

He is a lonely army. Every time Zhao Neng thinks of this, he feels a little disappointed, and he is also very unsure.

This is the stalemate at this time. The number of troops in Dengzhou is smaller than that of the Tartars on the opposite side. The other party relies on plunder and supplies, and their logistics needs a relatively long transportation line. There is no good or bad for each other. If we calculate, the more than 30,000 Qing Dynasty army faced the advantage of more than 20,000 Jiaozhou camp, and the Dengzhou army did not know what reason to find inside line to offset it.

When did the Jiaozhou camp army in southern Shandong and southern Zhili come, there is no news now, and it is impossible to rely on. The only news that can be known is that in Dongchang Prefecture and Jinan Prefecture, the armed Yanding and the village guard team were mobilizing urgently. Fortunately, it was already the slack season and would not cause deeper damage.

The fully armed Zhao Neng sat on the horse, looking at the Tartar army opposite him coldly. He still has the quality of a commander, but no matter what the situation of the war, he looked calm and calm.

But he was increasingly worried that the firearms and spears were used almost the same method, but the Tartars didn't know what other methods were.

The officers of the Dengzhou Army were dispatched there to get the musket soldiers back to the front line, and the spearmen team retreated to their original positions.

The Korean musketeers who had just returned to the array were driven out again. The Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty and the Sanshun King, especially the Han infantrymen of the Sanshun King system, shouted loudly and cursed the Korean musketeers who were unable to move in an array on the front line. The musketeers of this era should be quiet and not move.

The standing fire of musket soldiers is actually a weakened version of artillery positions, which deals with the enemy in the attack of the opponent, and freely shoots in pursuit and combat, because of the accuracy and loading issues, which are ridiculous actions.

The reason why Korean musket soldiers were so valued by the Qing Dynasty that every time they went on an expedition, whether they were expeditioning the Ming Dynasty or Mongolia, they had to draw musket soldiers in Korea because when the Jurchens attacked North Korea, Fei Yanggu, one of the five ministers of Guru, was shot in the forehead by the Korean musket soldiers while attacking.
To be continued...
