Chapter 103: Battle against Tartars

 Reinforcements sent to Changsha by Luo Xiujin, Governor of Qinghuguang, arrived, totaling more than 6,000 people. The commander-in-chief, the Han Army Zhenghuang Banner Gushan Ezhen Liu Zhiyuan, commanded 4,000 Liaodong Han troops; the deputy commander, Mele Zhangjing Galai

Daojia, under his command, has seven Niulu and 2,100 Manchurian Eight Banners.

The Manchurian military system: Each flag has a Gushan, a Dutong (called Gushan Ezhen in Manchu), which is equivalent to the general soldier of the Ming Dynasty, a first rank, and two deputy commanders (called Meilezhangjing in Manchu).

Equivalent to the deputy general of the Ming Dynasty, second rank; each Gushan has five Jia La, and each Jia La has one counselor (called Jia La Zhangjing in Manchu), three ranks; each Jia La has multiple Niu Lu (the number varies,

There are as few as eight or nine and as many as a dozen. The Manchu Eight Banners are the most numerous, followed by the Mongolian Eight Banners, and the Han Army Banners are the least. The number of Niulu is determined by the strength of the flag owner. Each Niulu has 300 people, and there are assistant leaders (Manchus).

Yu Niu Lu Zhang Jing) has one person, fourth grade, and Xiao Riding School has one person, sixth grade.

Two thousand one hundred cavalry and four thousand infantry came to rescue Changsha with murderous intent. Just halfway there, it was suddenly reported that Changsha had been lost.

Liu Zhiyuan hurriedly approached Ga Lai Dao Ga for discussion.

"Zhang Jing, the Ming army is powerful and has occupied Changsha. Why don't we camp in the north of Changsha first, wait for King Gongshun to arrive, and then join forces to capture Changsha."

Galai Daoga was furious: "Damn it! When will our Eight Banners soldiers have to wait for Nikan to arrive before they dare to fight? I am really afraid of fighting, so I can stay in the rear and camp. I will lead my own troops to fight the Ming army."

The scolding made Liu Zhiyuan dare not raise his head.

Nikan, Manchu, means Han people. Kong Youde and the others were named kings as soon as they surrendered to the Qing Dynasty. Galai Daoga and other Manchu generals were dissatisfied, so they were called Nikan.

Ga Lai Dao Ga scolded him happily, but he forgot that Liu Zhiyuan was also a Han.

Don't look at Liu Zhiyuan, as a first-class Han army soldier with a yellow flag, he is a bannerman and majestic in front of other Han people; but in front of the serious Manchu master, he doesn't dare to let out a fart. This one

In the army, Liu Zhiyuan is nominally the commander-in-chief, but the real commander-in-chief is Lord Galai Daoga.

Seeing Ga Laidao Ga's anger, Liu Zhiyuan hurriedly complimented him: "Zhang Jing is indeed a real Manchu warrior. I am willing to accompany the general in battle."

Only then did Ga Laidao Ga turn from anger to joy, and the two of them joined forces to fight in Changsha.

A commander-in-chief flatters a deputy general, which is a serious Manchu characteristic.

The soldiers of the Eight Banners have always had a neat military appearance and distinctive armor. The leader is the Manchu red flag of Galai Daoga. Each pentagonal red flag is edged with white, with the dragon's head facing forward; walking behind is Liu Zhiyuan's Han army.

Yellow flags, giant-shaped yellow flags with the dragon's head facing toward the rear.

Many history books say that the Qing army had clear flags, which is not unreasonable. The flags of the Eight Banners alone had four colors and eight colors, plus the green flags of the Green Battalion. Looking from a distance, the army was spectacular, and naturally there was a murderous aura.
Walking in the front was Xianghongqi's agent Niulu Zhangjingsuda.

The reason why he was acting as Niu Lu Zhangjing instead of becoming a full-time official was because although Su Da had made numerous meritorious services, he was not a Manchu nobleman, nor was he even a serious Eight Banners bannerman. Zhabu.

Jurchens, in addition to Nurhaci’s Jianzhou Jurchens (Jianzhouwei, Jianzhouzuowei, Jianzhouyouwei), there are also Haixi Jurchens (Yehe, Hada, Ula, Huifa) and Yeren Jurchens (East China Sea Jurchens).

The three major Jurchen tribes are not three large tribes, but are composed of many small tribes. Among them, the wild Jurchens have the widest geographical scope and are the most savage and good at fighting.

Because of the war with the Ming Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty lost too much population. In order to increase the population, starting from the Nurhaci era, the Jianzhou Jurchens often attacked the wild Jurchens and plundered their population. They moved the captured wild Jurchens to Jianzhou and compiled them. Become a flag member of the Eight Banners and increase the number of people in the Eight Banners.

"Solon", in Daur language, means "people living in the mountains and forests". It is not a tribe, but a collective name for the Tungus ethnic groups living in Eastern Siberia, the Transxinganling Mountains and other northeastern surrounding areas.

Niulu Zhangjingsuda, the agent of the Xianghong Banner, was not part of the Eight Banners ten years ago. He belonged to the Uza tribe, a branch of the Sauron people on horseback.

Unlike other Sauron people who rely on fishing and hunting for a living, the Sauron people who ride horses make a living as nomads. They mainly include: the Uza tribe, the Bram tribe, the Marji tribe, and the Ola tribe who live in the Nerchinsk area. Merdila tribe; Alar tribe, Dural tribe and Dortor tribe living in Chita; Tuktana tribe, Luojia tribe and Nahata tribe living in Udboxing.

Ten years ago, eighteen-year-old Suda was the most famous warrior of the Uza tribe. He once killed a black bear by himself. That day, Suda was riding a horse and leading the warriors of the Uza tribe to harness wild horses. Suddenly, the tribesmen panicked and said that bandits had entered the tribe. He hurriedly returned and prepared to fight. Only to find out that the people who came were a large tribe called "Qing" from the south. Before he could resist, the people from the Qing tribe put their knives on They killed the old, weak, women and children in the tribe, and said that if they dared to resist, they would kill all their relatives.

There was no other way, so Suda and the other warriors of the Uza tribe had no choice but to endure the humiliation. They were moved from Nerchinsk to Ulanqab, where they were incorporated into Manchuria under the red flag and made military slaves "armored men". They were led by a man named Dai. The kind old man is in charge.

At first, Suda was very dissatisfied and wanted to take his family and escape back to Nerchinsk. Gradually, he killed more people and made greater achievements. His status also improved and he received more rewards.

After Conglong entered the Pass, the regent went on a horse race to enclose the land. Su Da was an expert in horsemanship and enclosed a large piece of land in Tongzhou. He also assigned more than 20 Han slaves to help him farm the land. After becoming a landlord, life was easy. Now, Suda never wants to go back to the bitter cold land of Nerchinsk.

However, the Qing tribe was good at everything, but it was difficult to get promoted! They divided Manchuria into Buddha Manchuria and Yiche Manchuria. Buddha Manchuria refers to the old Manchu people in the past. These people were promoted quickly, and they were promoted after a little military exploits. Yiche Manchuria Manchuria refers to the captured barbarians and armored men. No matter how good they are in fighting or how many military exploits they have accomplished, they will never be promoted.

I have chopped off the heads of so many Ming soldiers and made so many military exploits, but I am still an agent Niulu Zhangjing. In order to help me remove the word "agent", Galai Dao Ga Zhangjing did not know how hard he tried, but it was useless.

I just can’t wait until the Ministry of War removes the word “acting” from the document.

Ga Laidao Ga Zhangjing is such a good man! He asked himself to be the vanguard again, and he also made a promise that if he makes military exploits again this time, he will definitely ask someone to find connections, help him remove the word "agent", and become a real

Niu Lu E Zhen.

Thinking of this, Suda's heart became warm. He called his two sworn brothers in this Niulu, Kertu from the Solonbram tribe, and Daolin'a from the Solonmarji tribe.

, told them to go into battle and fight hard to bring honor to Galadao Ga Zhangjing.

Changsha City is a city of stars. "Historical Records Tiangong Shu" says: "There are constellations in the sky, and states in the earth." Among the twenty-eight constellations, there is an attached star named "Changsha". The theory of ancient people's classification according to astrology

, the land of Changsha corresponds to the Changsha Star. Therefore, Changsha is also called "Star Sand".

In this star city, two generals are quarreling.

"Tatar reinforcements are coming, which general will be the vanguard?"

Yan Zungao, the Yonghou of the Ming Dynasty, asked his generals with a smile.

"The last general is willing to go!" Chen Youlong was the first to ask for a fight.

When he saw the "Five Hell Kings" taking the initiative to challenge him again, Fulu Hou Liu Wenxiu was so anxious that he almost cried.

"The last general is also willing to go! Commander, you can't let General Chen do all the work alone, can you? General Chen is tired from fighting for a long time. Let the last general be the vanguard in this battle!"

"Commander, the general is not tired at all, so let the general go." Chen Youlong refused to give in.

Seeing that the two were arguing, Yan Zungao was happy: "You two don't have to argue, let's go together. General Liu will be the left wing forward, General Chen will be the right wing forward, and I will lead the Chinese army to the rear. 'Manchuria is invincible if there are not even ten thousand people in Manchuria.'

?Hmph, I don’t believe in this evil. I have an army of more than 40,000, and I will sacrifice my life to kill these Tatars!"

??

In the north of Changsha City, the Battle of Yingzhu Mountain begins.

On the left front of the Ming army is Liu Wenxiu's phalanx, on the right front is Chen Youlong's phalanx, and in the middle is Yan Zungao's Chinese army.

General Yan Zungao stood at the Lion Rock of Yingzhu Mountain. He observed the enemy's situation from a high position.

At the rear of the Qing army were Liu Zhiyuan's Han Army Zhenghuang Banner's 4,000 infantrymen. Liu Zhiyuan's Han Army Zhenghuang Banner originally had 45 Niulu, totaling 13,500 people. One group was left in Beizhili, and another group was left behind.

They were ordered to defend Wuchang, so they only brought 4,000 people out.

In front are the 2,100 red-flag mounted cavalrymen from Galai Daoga. These cavalrymen are very elite, with Niulu as a unit, reining in their horses and standing in rows.

Galai Dauga raised his telescope and took a look.

The Ming army on the left was well-armored, large in number, and well-equipped, and should be the main force; the Ming army on the right was wearing rattan armor, erecting long bamboo poles, and carrying weird machetes. Some even didn't wear shoes, and stood barefoot in a bun.

In the formation, they are probably civilian troops assisting in the battle.

To capture the thief, capture the king first, and the soldiers of the Eight Banners specialize in attacking the main force of the Ming army.

Galai Daoga, who was old enough to fight, ordered to harass the Ming army by riding and shooting first.

Mounted archery requires very high skills. More than half of the Manchu Banners cannot use their legs to control their horses and shoot arrows at the same time. Instead, they mostly use the method of dismounting and shooting when approaching the enemy. Most of Galai Daoga's subordinates are from

The captured Sauron barbarians on horseback. Their riding skills are superb, no worse than the Mongols, so they can ride and shoot.

Seeing the flag of Galai Daoga waving, Suda and his two sworn brothers, Kertu and Dao Alin, rushed to the front, and their Niu Lu was the vanguard.

Rows of cavalry passed in front of the Ming army's formation, like rolling dark clouds, bringing with them bursts of arrow rain.

Su Da felt that his arrow hit a Ming soldier. This feeling of arrow was very magical. He had learned it from many years of hunting yellow sheep in Nerchinsk.

The Ming army's firecrackers and bows and arrows began to fight back. The Qing army's distance was about a hundred steps, and a hundred steps could penetrate Yang. At this distance, the Ming army's firecrackers could not reach it, and the lethality of the bows and arrows was not strong. The losses on both sides were not large, mainly because

A kind of temptation and harassment.

The Qing army lost dozens of horses, and the Ming army also lost hundreds of people.

The Qing army passed by the Ming army's battle formation and returned to the main formation from the flank.

When Ga Laidao Ga saw Liu Wenxiu's troops, he remained calm in front of the rain of arrows. His expression became solemn, knowing that the Ming army in front of him was a formidable enemy.

When the two armies met, they fought hard. Galai Daoga waved his flag and ordered his men to charge into the formation.

When Liu Zhiyuan, who was in the rear formation, saw this, he quickly ordered the Han army flags to be ready. After the Eight Banners rushed into the enemy formation, he took advantage of the situation to follow up and kill them.

Su Da, who was in the first row, saw the general's order and led his Niulu troops towards the Ming army.

Su Da had experienced many battles. He first advanced slowly outside the range of the Ming army's firearms. After almost entering the range, he clamped the horse's belly and began to accelerate.

The lethality of the cavalry does not all come from weapons. The impact of the horse and the power of the horse's hoofs cannot be underestimated.

The Ming army's artillery shells, muskets and bows and arrows shot down a cavalry riding the Eight Banners. Su Da was lucky and was not hit.

He rushed to the front of the Ming army formation, moved the lance in his hand, moved the tip of the lance forward, and stabbed a Ming soldier. He quickly turned the gun body, tilting the lance tip down to the right, and let the body slide down the lance tip.

Then he pulled out the gun tip and pointed it at the second Ming soldier, stabbing him again. This time the body was caught and did not slide down. Su Da abandoned his lance and slashed with his knife.

He has two knives, a saber and a sword. With the help of horse power, he cuts off heads one by one like wheat.

Kertu and Dao Alin followed Suda, fighting desperately.

When the enemy is outnumbered and we are outnumbered, the formation for charging at the Full Eight Banners is a column. This formation can minimize the attack surface. After rushing into the enemy's formation, you can rush out of the enemy's formation with the advantage of speed, and then make a roundabout way to unify the circle.

Come back and charge again until you overwhelm the Ming army's phalanx.

The soldiers of the Eight Banners relied on this tactic to defeat more with less time and time again.

But this time, the Ming army's formation was too thick, and their fighting will was very determined. They formed mandarin duck formations one after another, one was broken up, and another was scattered.

The Qing army actually charged into the opaque army's formation.

Riding one after another, the Qing troops began to lose speed and were stabbed, cut down, and shot down by the Ming infantry.

Suda knew not to let his horse stop. He drove the horse through the crowd. When he saw the enemy, he rode past him and gave him a knife.

Suddenly, he saw his sworn brother Kertu being shot by a fire cannon and lying on his horse.

"Second brother!"

With tears in his eyes, Suda rushed to Keltuma.

"Ahun (brother in Sauron language), help me take care of my mother-in-law and baby."

Kertu closed his eyes after speaking.

Su Da's eyes were red, and he was attacking the bright array like crazy.

The retreat horn sounded, and the experienced Galai Daoga saw the Eight Banners charging into the opaque army formation, and ordered a retreat while the horse's momentum was still strong.

One by one, Niulu turned the horse's head and returned to the formation.

Liu Wenxiu's troops were too hard to chew. Galai Daoga decided to pick a soft persimmon and picked Chen Youlong's troops. Every one of this troops was barefoot and had buns, like a group of beggars, so they must not be strong in combat.

The horn of charge sounded again, and this time, the Eight Banners column rushed towards Chen Youlong's square formation.

"Kill!"

Su Da, who was red-eyed, took the lead.

"Put the gun up!"

Chen Youlong tilted his head and erected long sharpened bamboo poles.

These bamboo poles are much longer than Liu Wenxiu's spears.

Daolin'a couldn't control the speed of his horse and was pierced by a bamboo pole, which was also broken by the impact.

"Third brother!"

Su Dahu roared, holding a sword with his left hand to cut off the bamboo pole, and with his right hand he chopped down the Ming army holding the pole, and rushed to Daolin'a.

Daolin'a had lost his breath and fell to the ground, motionless.

"Ah!"

Su Da went crazy, cut off bamboo poles one after another, and killed Ming soldiers one by one.

He has superb riding and martial arts skills, and is extremely powerful. He can do this, but most people can't.

Slowly, the Eight Banners' horses slowed down and fell into the Ming army's formation.

Yan Zungao, who was standing on Lion Rock to watch the formation, was overjoyed and gave the order to charge.

"Kill!"

Chen Youlong's tribe rushed forward and fired crossbow arrows first, making the Eight Banners frightened. Then they swung their heavy swords, chopped off the horse's legs, and chopped up the living people. One Eight Banners soldier was cut off from his horse.

"Kill!"

Liu Wenxiu's troops on the left attacked the flank of the Qing army.

Ga Lai Dao Ga was shocked: "The Ming army is so brave! How dare they fight back?"

He knew that his troops had lost speed and did not dare to fight again. He abandoned hundreds of corpses and ordered a retreat.

The Eight Banners soldiers were well-trained and knew not to disrupt their own infantry. After withdrawing, they retreated diagonally to the right flank of their own infantry.

Liu Wenxiu and Chen Youlong killed the Han army flags in the rear formation.

A black line attacked the Eight Banners of Galai Daoga from the side of Yingzhu Mountain. This was more than a thousand cavalry of the Ming army. Their purpose was to entangle the Qing cavalry and wait until their own infantry destroyed the Han army flags before annihilating all the Eight Banners.

.

Liu Zhiyuan, the Qing and Han army's Zhenghuang Banner, Gushan'er, fought desperately, but he only had 4,000 infantry. How could he defeat the more than 40,000 Ming army tigers and wolves?

Soon, Liu Zhiyuan's flag was cut down.

Ga Lai Dao Ga was frightened and knew that if he didn't leave, his entire army would be annihilated. He made a decisive decision and retreated regardless of Liu Zhiyuan's life or death. The Ming army's cavalry pursued him for ninety miles before returning.

Galai Dauga fled back to Wuchang in one breath, losing half of his men. Liu Zhiyuan's entire army was destroyed, and he escaped with his life. He did not dare to blame Galai Dauga for his blind command, but said that he had met 200,000 Ming troops and fought bravely.

Outnumbered.

The Battle of Shadow Pearl Mountain is over. Star City Changsha is quietly waiting for the baptism of the next battle.
