Chapter 575
The brutal fighting was going on in full swing under the autumn sun. The clash of swords and guns, the screams of war horses, and the dying screams and wails of the soldiers on both sides merged into a huge sound wave, and the entire battle was stalemate here.
.
This is the result of an inexperienced general facing off against a commander who marches and fights according to experience. To put it bluntly, it is the result of not playing according to the routine. The young apprentice punches randomly and deceives the master.
Faced with this outcome, Huang Taiji immediately adjusted his deployment, removed his team from the battlefield, and began to practice their Jurchen's best riding and shooting skills.
At this time, Huang Taiji once again made a fatal empirical mistake.
Seeing the enemies retreating like a tide, he gave himself a chance to breathe. The little fat man immediately asked Yang Sichang for advice: "Brother, what should we do?"
There was no need to ask King Xin who was holding a decorated sword in the formation. Now Zhang Zhiji was dizzy, so he consulted Yang Sichang, who was relatively calm.
Yang Sichang looked around and said decisively: "Spend the lives of a thousand brothers to protect King Xin and rush into Chang'an Village, otherwise we will bear the consequences of eternal infamy."
In fact, at this time, regardless of what Yang Sichang said, Zhang Zhiji knew that if he lost King Xin, the British Duke family that had existed for hundreds of years would be wiped out in his hands.
Now, whether it is for brother Mao Wenlong's third party or for his own family, he must do what Yang Sichang said.
At the entrance where the enemy retreated slightly, Zhang Zhiji shouted to his own soldiers: "We formed a group and we rushed into Chang'an Village."
At this time, the casualties of the soldiers have been heavy, but who else is going to take care of it at this time? Saving your own life is no longer important. Saving the British public's only child is everyone's top priority. As for King Xin, that's bullshit.
One's own life is worthless, but if one dies in battle, one's entire family will be taken care of, and that is fundamental.
As a result, the remaining two thousand soldiers trembled, but firmly grasped their swords and guns, and moved closer to their general, forming a human barrier to face the enemies outside.
Now, everyone has only one wish, and that is to use their own lives to protect the survival of this single seedling, nothing more, nothing more.
Huang Taiji's battle experience once again made him miss the opportunity. When he made adjustments, the biggest beneficiary was actually the ignorant Zhang Zhiji's team.
While Huang Taiji was making adjustments based on experience, Zhang Zhiji was also making adjustments based on instinct.
This is the difference between experience and no experience.
Often it is experience that kills people.
After a brief pause between the two sides, Huang Taiji began to rectify the rationale for re-attacking according to his ideas.
Zhang Zhiji, who had no experience at all, followed their instincts and surrounded more than 1,000 to 2,000 people into a hedgehog. At this time, no one wanted to escape, and they all had a determination to die.
The soldiers tried hard to raise their swords and guns, and Zhang Zhiji tightened his grip on the two hammers in his hands. The noble disciples also understood the situation they were encountering.
This is another earthen fort.
Yes, the Tumu Fort Incident was an eternal pain for the Xungui family. It was also a turning point in the civil-military struggle. From that moment on, the literati overcame the generals, and the Xungui could never raise their heads again. That battle, and the one before us
The First World War was too similar, and precisely because it was so similar, it reminded all the noble children of the pain of the noble family.
That battle was a turning point for the entire Ming Dynasty. That battle was a turning point for the entire civil and military struggle of the Ming Dynasty. That battle was a turning point for the decline of the Xungui family.
When the seniors were involved in the Tumubao Incident, no one dared to say that there was a conspiracy, but everyone knew the result. The entire military commander group was completely wiped out.
But this time, it was the emperor and his younger brother who wanted to re-adjust the balance between the Xungui family and the eunuchs and Donglin, so that these newly rich children could reproduce the glory of the Ming Dynasty Xungui by relying on the only prince of the Ming Dynasty.
At first, everyone thought this was an easy thing, but something unexpected happened again, in the Tumu Fortress Incident, because this time, the most elite members of the Xungui Group were still wiped out. By then, hundreds of people in the Xungui Group would be wiped out.
Years can never be recovered.
History is just such a joke, and the joke goes back and forth. At this time, everyone can complain, and must go all out to restore the glory of their ancestors.
Zhang Zhiji, the representative of the honorable disciples, raised the hammer in his hand high and shouted at the top of his lungs: "For the glory of our ancestors, and in order to no longer have the humiliation of Tumu Fortress, we will fight." And then.
He grabbed King Xin and put him directly behind his back. He held King Xin tightly behind his back with a belt and loudly told all the brothers: "If King Xin makes any mistake, I, the Zhang family, will bury him with him."
After Huang Taiji reorganized his team, he gave an order and more than 10,000 horses immediately turned into a long dragon connected end to end, and began to run around the battle formation of the Ming army. As they ran, they fired their bows and arrows on their horses.
Sprinkle rain of arrows one after another into the enemy's formation.
The bows of the Jiannu cavalry were weak, and they were even less accurate when running. The lethality of bows and arrows was weak, and their impact was even worse when faced with soldiers equipped with full armor. However, this was not the main purpose of Huang Taiji. The main purpose
It is to shake the opponent's military morale and undermine the opponent's morale.
Being beaten passively will make people feel depressed and shaken. As long as these repeated blows continue, the Ming army will collapse, psychologically, and then overall. At that time, the battle will be over.
This is the Jurchen's magic weapon against the Ming army's battle formation group. They have used this method to win countless times against the battle formations trained by the Han people.
Strong shields were lifted up one after another, and the enemy's bows and arrows hit the shields like a heavy rain. The dense sounds merged into one, and it was impossible to tell the number. Soldiers were constantly being hit by the rain of arrows, but
Zhang Weixian spent a lot of money to buy these armors, which played an excellent protective role. Most of the flying arrows were blocked by the iron armor and iron helmets. Only a few penetrated the gaps in the armor leaves, but there was still a layer inside.
Cotton cloth, they once again blocked the killing power of the feather arrows, so that the arrows could not penetrate deeply into the flesh. As long as everyone gritted their teeth and endured it, there would be no problem at all. Only those unlucky ones who were shot directly in the face by the enemy screamed and squatted down.
, but in a blink of an eye, this position was replaced by another brother.
Being beaten passively like this made them frustrated, but collapse did not occur, because they were the Duke's personal soldiers, and collapse would be a dead end. So with the support of this belief, they persisted, and everyone knew that firing the bow and letting go
Archery is a labor of strength. As long as everyone persists and persists until the enemy shoots ten arrows, a close combat will occur again.
Fight for your life, everyone is already desperate, so let’s fight. One fight is enough, fight two to earn one. Once you win, you will have unimaginable glory and wealth for you to enjoy. Even if you risk your life, it will be for yourself.
My family has passed down a family business, but everyone feels that it is appropriate to work on it themselves.
After the enemy's ten arrows were fired, just as everyone expected, they dropped their long bows on the ground, then drew their sabers and began to charge towards the formation.
But at this moment, the shields of the soldiers suddenly spread out, and arrows flew out from the formation, whistling, and rushed towards the enemy.
The soldiers held the most sophisticated compound bows, which were extremely powerful. At the same time, they faced the enemy's cavalry. The speed of both sides was added up, and the power doubled. Although everyone was not accurate, this
Yang Sichang, who had calmed down at that time, did not ask everyone to shoot in all directions. Instead, he only faced one side with less than a thousand archers, forming a strike point where firepower was concentrated, using density to make up for accuracy.
Batch after batch of feather arrows flew out, immediately covering the enemy's charging road. Countless bows and arrows, under the huge combined force, shot down the charging enemies one after another from their horses. The thin skin in the hands of the enemy cavalry
The shield had almost no effect on such a rain of arrows, especially the leather shield which was too small and could only protect the rider's head, but it could not protect the war horse. The war horse was hit by arrows one after another.
The war horse neighed and fell down, and then it and its owner were trampled to pieces by their companions in the blink of an eye.
There was fierce fighting on three sides, and massacres were going on on the other side. The war was going on like this in a weird way.
"This won't work. We have been passively being beaten like this. In this land of flat plains and with the enemy's superior strength, in the end we cannot guarantee the safety of His Highness King Xin, so we must rush into Chang'an Stronghold and use this stronghold as a defense.
At the stronghold, you can at least use the houses to fight street battles." Taking advantage of the slight stabilization of the formation, Yang Sichang remembered his duty and the army praised the paintings, so he calmly suggested to King Xin and Zhang Zhihe.
Although King Xin is young, he shows that in the future, he will become an emperor with the best quality, that is, being calm in chaos.
When the enemy launched an attack, he did not cry or panic like a child. He looked around with a serious face, eager to try.
Countless times he dreamed of being a great general and fighting for his brother. This time he finally realized his dream. He was not afraid, but rather inexplicably excited. He took out the decorative clothes from his waist.
With his sword, he wanted to take the lead and rush towards the enemy immediately, killing Nu Qiu with his own hands.
Of course, his impulse was resolutely stopped. Two hundred panicked noble disciples surrounded him tightly, preventing him from moving an inch.
The Xungui camp is actually a group of dandy boys. They were sent to the team to protect King Xin Zhu Youjian this time. They had the purpose of apocalypse, and the family also wanted to train them. As a result, looking at it now, they are the most useless.
A group of people, everyone outside was fighting to the death, but they were trembling under the layers of protection, and from time to time there would be a smell of feces and urine in the crowd, which made King Xin despise them.
At this time, King Xin did not object to Yang Sichang's suggestion, because he knew that he could never die here, even with a little injury, because he knew that he was not himself now, but represented a Ming Dynasty. If he died in battle,
Here, a blow to the entire Ming Dynasty would be a disaster, so he accepted Yang Sichang's suggestion, rushed into Chang'an Village, and then asked for help from the surrounding area.
Fortunately, Chang'an Village is just a stone's throw away from here. Although there is no tall city wall there, there is a circle of earth fence as high as one person, which can at least limit the impact of the war horses. Moreover, a group of people and horses have just entered the village, and everyone gathered there
Together, we can resist for a while even if we risk our lives.
As a result, just when everyone was preparing to take action, the group of troops who had just entered the village were beaten out by the enemy.
As soon as the results came out, they met the enemies head-on, surrounding the main position, and immediately formed a pincer attack from the front and rear. Fortunately, Wang Liang, the commander of this force, was calm and did not rush towards the main position to meet.
