Chapter 215 I think, stop chasing the poor bandits
Abatai, who had no choice but to use the Ming army's vehicle formation, had already wanted to withdraw, but when he thought that he had just taken the flag to fight, he returned home without success. Ama really couldn't explain it. The brothers were afraid that they would laugh at him, so they could only continue to bite the bullet and chase the Ming army.
But Abatai was not stupid either. He did not let his cavalry continue to play the trick of "You advance, I retreat, you retreat, I advance" with the Ming army. Instead, he ordered the cavalry Niulu to hang behind the Ming army, and on the other hand, he ordered Niulu, the infantry Niulu, in the rear, to come over to reinforce.
When fighting the Ming army camp, the warriors of the infantry Niulu rushed in with double armor and fearlessness. Er Jin also used this trick to deal with the Ming army formation in front of him.
Basically, Abatai can conclude that this Ming army's chariot formation came from the small defense camp of the Ming army in Duli Ahana.
The specific information about the Ming army defense camp was discovered a few days ago. It was reported that the Ming army defenders in this camp were less than 3,000, and most of them were baggage servants, mainly used to guard the Hunhe floating bridge. Therefore, the Eight Banners generals, including Nurhaci, did not pay much attention to this Ming army defense camp.
Abatai thought it would be better to let the Ming army and the defeated soldiers enter their defense camp. At that time, he led his troops to surround them. As long as the floating bridge on the Hun River is destroyed, these thousands of Ming soldiers are not the meat in their own pots.
The idea was good. The Ming army camp in Sarhu was destroyed, and Du Song's headquarters in Jilin Cliff became an isolated army. It was a matter of time before the defeat. At that time, as long as the blue flag captured the Hunhe floating bridge, the Ming army on the east bank of the Hunhe River would be unable to escape.
However, when he was following the Ming army's vehicle formation and approaching Dudley Aha, Abatai received the report that he could not pass by.
Is Ming Jun so good that he can't get through?
The confused Abatai came to the front, and saw that the road leading to the Ming army defense camp was dug out at some point, and even the surrounding wilderness was dug one by one.
The trenches were not dug too deep, probably only as deep as one person's waist, but each was very wide, just so that the war horses could not jump. Some of the trenches were filled with water, while others were sharply cut bamboo tips by the Ming army. Some areas also had sharp nets with thorns drawn with iron wire in front of them.
What's even more annoying is that at the intersection of two or three trenches, there were sentry platforms made of mud. There were more than a dozen Ming troops stationed inside, at least six or seven, holding muskets or only holding crossbows. From a distance, some sentry platforms also had cannons, and the muzzles were aimed at the open area in front of the trenches.
In some places, the Ming army may be unable to excavate in time due to manpower restrictions, so they used a large number of chariots to damage and block them. There were also a large number of haystacks behind the chariots, which were obviously used to prevent the Jin army from setting fire when rushing into these gaps.
The two floating bridges are clearly visible on Hunhe River not far away. There are Ming troops carrying supplies on the bridge, and there are Ming troops' boats patrolling back and forth on both sides of the bridge.
The Ming army's defense camp was quiet, but the flags everywhere in the camp and the Ming army fortifications in front of him told Abatai that this was definitely a dangerous place.
"Only the timid Chinese cultural officials can come up with this method."
Abatai felt very angry. Such fortifications could not be dug in one or two days. Moreover, the connection between these trenches and fortifications was very well-organized. Even the arrangement of firearms seemed to be very particular. It was more sharp than the defense of the Ming army's Sarhu camp. If you attack rashly, you will suffer a lot of casualties.
"Master, what should I do?"
The blue flag Archang Turush scratched the little braid behind his head. It was the first time he had seen someone do such an extreme defense in the camp since he fought with the Khan.
Jialaezhen Yilden was afraid that the banner master would order them to attack for a moment, so the men would suffer great losses, so he advised the banner master to call the Han army from the west room to come to the Khan King. The implication was to let the Han army come to serve as cannon fodder for the foothold.
But as soon as he finished speaking, the flag owner scolded him in surprise: "We can't live, they can live!"
Abatai pointed to the Ming army chariot formation that was slowly moving in front of the left and the Ming army defeated troops in the formation.
"Slaves are so stupid!"
Ilden slapped his head: Yes, why didn't he think that since the Ming army could pass, it means that the defenses arranged here must have a way out, that is, there must be flaws!
"What are you still standing there? Why don't you follow me quickly!"
"twitter!"
Ilden, Tulu and other generals responded in unison. They were not stupid. They all saw that as long as they could stick close to the Ming army at this time, they might be able to follow them to break the Ming army defense camp.
Soon, the Jin army cavalry with the blue flag gathered together and followed the Ming army's chariot formation to chase after him. However, when he saw that there were still dozens of feet away from the Ming army's chariot formation, a loud explosion suddenly came from the Jin soldiers' ears, and then the war horses beneath them crawled to the ground.
With dozens of explosions, hundreds of braided soldiers were caught off guard and were overwhelmed. Some were directly killed, some were suppressed by their own mounts, and some were thrown into the ditch on both sides, with the bamboo spikes inside them covered with holes.
Seeing this, the Ming army, who was retreating to the camp, drove out a gunner of more than 300 people from the chariot formation and shot at the braided soldiers who had not come to their senses in the black smoke without saying anything.
After three rounds, the Ming army gunners quickly turned around and did not check their results.
When the black smoke disappeared, Abatai was stunned and saw that the road was blown up to a pit and a pond, and the hundred and ten second-class cavalrymen and their war horses were blocked on the road.
"call!"
Abatai really took a breath of air, thinking that the Ming army had used some magic, otherwise how could this good mud explode out of thin air?
Thousands of braided soldiers who followed along the way were also sucking, squeezing their thrones, staring ahead in astonishment.
The Ming army, who was retreating to the defense camp, seemed not afraid of the Jin army at all, and actually sent more than a dozen soldiers to openly clamor for provoking the Jin army.
Abatai was so angry that he gritted his teeth, and his generals were so angry. So Tulush organized a pursuit again. When the clamoring Ming soldiers saw that the situation was wrong, they turned around and ran away as if their butts were on fire.
This gave the braided soldiers some confidence, shouting in a mess and jumping over their companions' corpses, and those who were raising bows and arrows were about to take revenge.
After rushing out more than a thousand feet, another explosion came from his ears. A pile of stones exploded here like a celestial girl scattered flowers, and countless iron nails flew there, and then he fell from the war horse involuntarily.
The escaped Ming army ran out another hundred people and shot at the chaotic Jin soldiers, and ran away without looking back after shooting.
After the black smoke disappeared, the scene was the same as before.
At this moment, the Jin army was so scared that they dared not move forward any more.
"Seventh Prince, what should I do?"
Ilden gritted his teeth and asked the flag owner with a protruding blue veins. After a long time, the Seventh Prince said four words: "Don't chase the enemy if you lose!"
This reason is very good, the Seventh Prince thinks it is very good, and Ilden and the others think it is very good.
So, after leaving more than 300 Erlang's bodies in front and behind, the Inlaid Blue Flag gave up the idea of attacking the Ming army's defense camp.
After seeing Jiannu withdraw, Zhou Tiexin, the general who had been hiding in the camp, had just raised his head. Then he appeared in front of everyone with a full confidence and said to Gong Niansui, the general who was responsible for the guards in the camp:
"How? I have said a long time ago, don't look at my scholars. I thought that I had followed Eunuch Wei to sweep away Jiannu, three times to Changdian, four times to Dadian, which battle is not a sea of corpses and blood, but I am afraid of it? So, you must not underestimate our scholars. You must know that we can kill the enemy on the horse and govern the country off the horse."
With his bold words, Lord Tiexin clamped his legs for no reason, and then he stretched them smoothly.
