Chapter five hundred and fiftieth IX strange retreat

Just when everyone was secretly sighing that Huang Taiji's actions were too despicable. The Later Jin army, which was arranged three miles away, turned passive to active, and directly advanced to everyone's position with an offensive formation.

Of course, the idea of ​​the Tartars using tens of thousands of people as cannon fodder was fully demonstrated at this time.

The ten thousand-person teams formed by ten thousand people, driven by hundreds of young Tartars, were like walking corpses, taking very mechanical steps towards everyone step by step.

At the same time, the real offensive force composed of 10,000 Han Eight Banners and 10,000 Tartar cavalry followed closely behind 10,000 people and launched a fatal attack on themselves at any time.

Facing the scene in front of him that was beyond everyone's imagination, the dozen or so Tiger and Leopard Army officers who had not yet thought of cracking the tactics and tactics of the Tartars were as if they had been discussed, and at the same time, they gathered their worried eyes on Wei Zheng.

Although Wei Zheng's mind was hidden in his tactics and tactics that had been in his funeral for hundreds of years, Wei Zheng's mind was also blank, and there was no solution at all.

Therefore, facing everyone's eyes when they look at them, Wei Zheng could only respond to everyone with silence and solemnity.

However, if there is no solution, it does not mean that Wei Zheng will remain indifferent to the attack and watch the Tartars enter their own military formation and fight with their soldiers.

In less than a cup of tea, Wei Zheng's silent and gloomy face was covered with murderous aura, and there was still a very strong murderous aura.

After taking a deep breath, he directly ordered: "Send the order, the artillery unit. Go directly over the ordinary people who are blocking the Tartars and fire flowering bullets at the Tartars."

"Although ordinary people who block the Tartars can block the lead bullets shot directly from the musket, they cannot block the flowering bullets falling from the sky... The artillery commanded the artillery to fire at the Tartar attacking troops at the fastest speed of fire."

With the sound of roaring cannons sounded on the battlefield, hundreds of flowering bullets smashed towards the Tartars hiding behind the people like meteor showers. Soon, fireballs mixed with a large number of black smoke rose into the air in the middle of the huge military formation of the Tartars.

However, there were too many people launching an attack by the Tartars. Although the explosion of the flowering bullets kept ringing on the battlefield, the casualties caused by these flowering bullets to the Tartars were simply not worth mentioning compared to their huge forces.

Therefore, the 20,000 Tartar attacking troops directly ignored these losses. They continued to attack forward against the flowering bullets that kept falling above their heads. And it was getting faster and faster, without any intention of stopping.

When the Tatars' huge military formation successfully advanced to a mile away from the Tiger and Leopard Army, 20,000 Tartars attacked the troops. There were less than 4,000 people who actually fell under the artillery fire of the Tiger and Leopard Army.

More importantly, Huang Taiji, who was behind to control the overall situation, seemed to see hope of victory in this attack. He actually sent 10,000 cavalry again to join the battlefield with an unstoppable momentum.

At this time, all the generals guarding Wei Zheng knew that the Tartar Emperor Taiji was going to fight with him.

He was a bandit and followed Wei Zheng's 3rd Infantry Division commander from the beginning. Faced with the increasingly depressing atmosphere around him, he stood up and said, "Master General, I am a rough man and don't understand any big principles. But I can settle the accounts. In my opinion, compared with the tens of thousands of ordinary people standing in front of the Tartars, the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers around us are more valuable."

"So, the last one would like to ask the general to order the regiments immediately. As long as the opponent enters the range of the musket, no matter who they are, they will fire immediately, and try to avoid close-range battles with the Tartars..."

With the leader, the other division commanders no longer cared about their reputation and directly instigated Wei Zheng: "Master, please order the shooting... The enemy is facing, you can't have any kindness as a woman. Otherwise, the tens of thousands of soldiers behind us will die here."

Facing the anxious gaze of his subordinates looking at him, and facing the Tartars who were getting closer and closer to him, Wei Zheng really had the idea of ​​shooting immediately and shooting anyone no matter who he was.

However, whenever the order was about to be said, it was suppressed by the last trace of reason in my heart.

After hesitation, he directly rejected his subordinates: "No, the Tartars are beasts, we are not... The unarmed ordinary people are standing in front of the Tartars. I believe that even if the general gives the order to shoot, the soldiers under my command may not be able to bear it and shoot at the unarmed people or even their relatives."

"Don't forget that the people who stood in front of the Tartars all came from Liaodong. Among the tens of thousands of soldiers around us, there were at least five thousand Liaodong soldiers. Do you let me order them to shoot at their relatives and shoot their relatives?"

As soon as Wei Zheng finished speaking, a division commander asked with an anxious look on his face: "But, the general, besides shooting them and blocking them in a hundred steps, and shooting them with a large number of muskets, do we have any other ways?"

"Do we really have to give up muskets, exchange human lives for life, and fight with the Tartars at close range?"

Wei Zheng shook his head again and vetoed loudly: "No, there must be other solutions, but we didn't expect it."

At this time, Wang Feng, who was standing next to Wei Zheng, seemed to have made up some decision and said directly to Wei Zheng beside him: "Master, no matter whether there is any other way, for us, there is no time..."

"I will be like everyone else, please ask the general to issue a shooting order. All the crimes will be borne by the governor of Liaodong. I will never ruin the reputation of my Tiger and Leopard Army because of this incident. Please ask the general to give an order..."

"Please give orders from the general manager..." With Wang Feng's leadership, everyone shouted at the same time as if they had agreed.

However, everyone's unanimous voices did not affect Wei Zheng.

Wei Zheng, surrounded by everyone, seemed to hear nothing, and continued to frown, with a heavy face full of thought and no words to think about the solution.

Under such circumstances, Wang Feng and others who were standing beside him could only worry. They watched the Tartars keep leaning towards him, but there was no way.

Just when Wang Feng couldn't help but want to go directly over Wei Zheng and issue a direct order to shoot.

Wei Zheng's eyes suddenly shot out two sharp gazes.

Then, he said in a shocking voice: "Captain Wang is right, there is indeed no time."

"But, Wei Zheng is not a person who lets my brother take the blame and enjoy it later. If I really want to issue a shooting order, I will issue it personally and personally bear the attacks and slander from all aspects..."

"Master, you have decided to issue a shooting order immediately..." Wang Feng asked subconsciously.

Wei Zheng nodded and affirmed: "It was a decision, but it was not a gun order, but a retreat..."

"Retreat..." Wang Feng asked back with an incredible look on his face.

Wei Zheng did not ask everyone to wait too long, and directly affirmed: "Yes, it is just a retreat... However, this retreat of our general is not to directly withdraw to Liaodong, but to retreat while fighting, destroying the Tartars bit by bit on our retreat."

After saying that, Wei Zheng directly ordered: "Time is tight, I will explain it to you after I finish this battle. I will tell you that the general ordered the heavy artillery regiment, retreat three miles immediately, and re-arrange the heavy artillery position. The speed must be fast..."

"The heavy mortar companies and medium mortar companies are commanded by the company commanders of each company, retreat alternately in platoons, and continue to launch artillery attacks on the Tartar attacking troops. The Tartars have tens of thousands of people to drag down, and the attack speed is very slow. As long as the rhythm of retreat and artillery attack is well grasped, the Tartar attacking troops will always be under our artillery attack."

"Miltels and cavalry, retreat in an orderly manner while keeping the army unchanged. However, during the retreat, we must ensure that the enemy and us are arduous and always stay within a mile. Once the Tartar offensive troops cross the people standing in front of them, they attack us. All soldiers can stop retreating as soon as possible and prepare for the battle."

Wei Zheng's retreat process was not only complicated, but also very cumbersome.

If one is bad, the entire military formation will fall into chaos during the retreat.

Even if such a military order was issued to the most elite border troops of the Ming Dynasty, they would not be able to do it.

However, Wei Zheng was full of confidence in the Tiger and Leopard Army he trained.

Because, when other troops in the Ming Dynasty were still training soldiers and their martial arts skills, Wei Zheng had copied the queue training and turned into a subject that must be trained for the three-month recruit training of the Tiger and Leopard Army.

In this case, Wei Zheng was confident that after being trained by the rigorous team, he would definitely execute his retreat orders very strictly and orderly.

So, tens of thousands of tiger and leopard troops began to retreat in an orderly manner, like a huge war machine.

However, no matter how the Tiger and Leopard Army retreated, the distance between them and the Tartars attacking troops remained at the same distance from beginning to end.

More importantly, during the retreat of the troops, there were always more than 100 mortars, and they continuously shot flowering bullets at the Tartar attacking troops.

The Tiger and Leopard Army retreated in an orderly manner without any loss.

Under the cover of tens of thousands of ordinary people, the Later Jin Tartars would lose several lives under the attack of artillery fire from the Tiger and Leopard Army.

Facing the sudden change on the battlefield. When riding on the war horse, Huang Taiji, who was still confident and full of expectations for this attack, was now open his mouth that could swallow an egg, and looked at the changing battlefield several miles away in shock.

At this moment, under the cover of a shocked expression on his face, Huang Taiji's heart was very complicated.
