I have to say that Obai's battlefield reading ability is really great.
The Ming cavalry had just defeated Bao Yi, and Obai foresaw that it was impossible to win the battle today, so he decisively prepared to withdraw from the battlefield and join the turning Bao Yi.
The Ming infantry on the battlefield naturally refused to give up.
Immediately launched a more fierce attack on Jiannu, hoping to entangle Jiannu.
At this moment, Obai once again showed his courage and determination. He decisively left ten Yabala soldiers behind and led an impressive group of Eight Banners troops with the Yellow Banner to cut off the rear and cover the main force's escape.
Relying on Obai's decision, the main force of Jiannu quickly left the main battlefield.
The price paid was that Jiannu, who had been cut off from the rear, was surrounded by the Ming army.
The Ming cavalry who arrived later tried to attack the main force of the Eight Banners in Obai, but found that Jiannu, who was retreating, did not retreat and was able to turn back and fire arrows while retreating.
Especially the dozens of white-armored soldiers who were left behind.
It also posed a great threat to the Ming army cavalry who were following and chasing them.
A Yiding broke away from the group and launched a brazen attack. As a result, the white-armored soldier at the back killed his horse with an arrow.
These slaves not only had excellent archery skills, but also had rich combat experience. Because most Yiding wore straight armor, heavy arrows may not be able to penetrate them with one arrow, let alone hit the vital point.
But shooting horses is different. The target of war horses is much larger.
Moreover, war horses are not protected by armor and can be easily shot.
After several trials, the Ming cavalry realized that the cost of forcibly attacking the Jiannu infantry was too high, so they gave up decisively and turned around to join the siege of Jiannu who was responsible for breaking up the rear.
The main force of Jiannu was able to successfully rendezvous with Bao Yi.
"Zha Liangnian!" Yabulan galloped over on horseback.
"Master, this slave is here." Zha Liangnian rode up to greet him.
Yabulan directly ordered: "Give your horse to Lord Obai!"
"Hey!" Facing Yabulan's order, Zha Liangnian did not dare to refuse.
He turned over and dismounted, and led the horse to Obai who was shooting arrows.
Obai was the last one to retreat. Just now he personally led more than forty white-armored soldiers to break up the rear, and used his strong bow to block the Ming cavalry who tried to pursue them.
"Sir, fight back!"
Jabraan put an arrow on the string.
"There is no chance." Obai sighed, a little helpless, "The Ming army's carriage camp has arrived."
Yabulan and other Jiannu looked intently, and sure enough they saw that the Ming army car camp that had been lagging behind had caught up, and the side panel of the sidecar had been opened, and the black muzzle was aimed here.
Not only the Ming Army's chariot camp, but also the side carriages of the Han Army's Zhenghuang Banner have been snatched away by the Ming Army's infantry.
The Ming army infantry who had freed up their hands was pushing the sidecar carrying the Folan machine gun to this side, and also pointed the black muzzle at them. If the Eight Banners soldiers counterattacked at this time, they would hit the Ming army's side.
On the muzzle.
It was useless to attack in a roundabout way, because the Ming army also had cavalry to protect the two wings, so the chariot camp could turn around calmly.
At this point, the initiative on the battlefield has completely fallen into the hands of the Ming army, and Jiannu has no way to defeat the Ming army.
"I just said that the Eight Banners Han Army was unreliable, and the former Ming Dynasty's surrender army was even more unreliable." Yabulan gritted his teeth and said, "That's true."
"You can't blame them. I was careless this time. Send the order and withdraw!" Obai was still very clear-headed and knew that if he continued to spend more money today, he would only suffer greater losses.
"Sir, we cannot withdraw!"
"There is another Niulu who hasn't come back yet!"
"Yes, fight back and get Lao Ha and the others out!"
Yabulan and dozens of white-armored soldiers became anxious upon hearing this.
How long has it been since they suffered such a loss?
"Are you deaf? Get out quickly!" Obai was furious.
Amidst the low sound of the horn, the Eight Banners soldiers finally turned and retreated.
…
"Retreat without chaos, defeat without collapse, Jiannu is indeed an elite!"
"It's just a field battle with a thousand people. If you are surprised, you can still get a dozen."
"If this were a large-scale field battle involving tens of thousands of people, it would simply be a loss of lives."
Chongzhen put away the monocular telescope, led Zhu Cixiang and Zhu Cijiong, and slowly walked towards the battlefield ahead under the protection of Wu Batan's one hundred Yiding soldiers.
"Father, is it really impossible to win a large-scale field battle?"
"I really can't beat them. The Jiannu are superior to our Ming Dynasty in all aspects, including organization, training, quality of soldiers, weapons and equipment, and logistical support, at least at this stage."
"Is there no way out? Will it always be like this?"
"Of course it won't happen. There is still a way, but it can't be done now."
Hearing Chongzhen say that there is still a chance for the Ming Dynasty, brothers Zhu Cihong and Zhu Cijiong cheered up.
"I knew my father would definitely find a way." Zhu Cijiong rode his horse and took a few steps to catch up with Chongzhen, and cast a look of first-class admiration at Chongzhen.
The two brothers stayed with Chongzhen for a short time.
However, we are already familiar with Chongzhen's deeds after the defeat of Beijing, because the eunuchs, Yiding and several nobles who followed Chongzhen would keep telling them about it.
The two younger brothers are full of infinite admiration for their father.
While talking, a group of people had already arrived at the battlefield.
At this time, most of the Jiannu who remained behind were killed.
There were only a dozen Jiannu slaves left who were still fighting stubbornly in the rebel army.
However, these dozen Jian slaves are really strong. Not only are they physically strong, but they are also extremely physically strong. They are wearing such heavy armor, and they are still fighting until now.
"Ba Ya La Bing!" U Ba Tan said, "The slave chief's guard!"
"White-armored soldier? No wonder. After all, he is one of the best warriors in a hundred."
"It's only slightly stronger than our three thousand Yiding. If we simply compete in riding and shooting, it's not even as good as us." Wu Batan's tone was obviously dissatisfied.
Chongzhen just smiled when he heard this.
It’s good to have this competitive spirit.
This person is afraid of lying flat, afraid of not being competitive.
After a while, the entire battlefield gradually returned to calm.
The dozen white-armored soldiers who established the slaves were finally stabbed to death. After a long siege, the Ming army finally found the weak point and stabbed the white-armored soldiers in the face with spears continuously, smashing their heads.
When the last white-armored soldier fell amidst screams,
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The entire battlefield first fell into deathly silence.
In the dead silence, no one knew which Ming army was the first to roar: Win!
Immediately, the soldiers of the Ming army who fought for the rest of their lives roared loudly at the top of their voices: We won, we won!
Many soldiers of the Ming Army roared, and tears filled their eyes before they knew it. How many years had it been since the Ming Army had defeated Jiannu? In their memory, even a small-scale outpost battle had not been won for a long time.
.
But today, the Ming army finally defeated Jiannu again, and finally won again!
One Ming army even burst into tears. It was so difficult and not easy!
However, most of the Ming troops hugged each other and cheered hysterically.
The cheers of the soldiers of the Ming army finally gathered into one voice: Ming Dynasty is victorious!
Chongzhen was also infected by the emotions of the soldiers, and he couldn't help shouting loudly. Zhu Cihong and Zhu Cijiong also had their faces flushed.
…
The Eight Banners soldiers with yellow flags had retreated several miles away.
However, even though they were several miles away, they could still faintly hear the huge cheers coming from the direction of Anshan Town.
You can guess with your toes that the Niulu that was left behind must have been eaten by the Ming army. Thinking of this, Obai's face showed many complex emotions such as chagrin, regret, and resentment.
"Lord Obai." Gao Di came to Obai in panic.
Behind Gaudi were more than two thousand surrendered troops under Gaudi.
The number of casualties among Gaudi's 3,000 surrendered troops was actually not large. More than 300 died when they lined up to be shot, but not many died when they fled later.
In total, more than four hundred were lost.
There are still more than 2,500 gathered back.
But when Obai saw Gao Di, he was furious.
Of course, the main reason for today's defeat was his Obai's carelessness in underestimating the enemy, but Gao Di's surrender army collapsed at the first touch, so he cannot escape the blame and must be severely punished.
Obai immediately took out his riding crop and
He slapped Gao Di across the face.
Zu Zerun watched from the side and did not stop him.
Because he knew that Obai was angry, and if he stepped forward to stop him, he would attract Obai's firepower to him, and he would not be stupid enough to get into trouble.
…
On the other side, the Ming army has returned to calm.
"Your Majesty!" Huang Degong quickly came to Chongzhen.
"Uncle Jingnan, congratulations, you won a big victory!"
"I'm ashamed. If the Holy One hadn't personally led a thousand barbarians to rush to the rescue in time, this old man like me and more than 4,000 soldiers under his command would have been left in Anshan Town."
"Long live Lord, long live Lord!"
While he was talking, he stood up and ran over.
Chongzhen was astonished. Gao Qiqian, this eunuch, is not dead yet? He has been here twice and he is still not dead?
"Long live your blessings to the heavens. I only got a little bit of your blessing. I was able to fight with swords and guns on the battlefield. Just now, a Jiannu shot an arrow at me from a distance of ten steps, but he didn't even hit me."
Chongzhen casually took out a silver coin and threw it to Gao Qiqian: "This is for you."
"Thank you, Lord Long Live." Gao Qiqian took the silver coin and opened his palm happily, then his expression fell.
No, long live my Lord, have you made a mistake? You have rewarded this old slave one tael of silver for such a great contribution? When the old slave was supervising the army in Jinzhou, Ningyuan, how could he not make a few thousand taels from any war?
Chongzhen ignored Gao Qiqian and said to Huang Degong: "Although the Ming Dynasty won the victory this time, the casualties of slave building were actually not large, and I am sure that the people who came to Shandong this time were not just slaves.
, if nothing unexpected happens, the Jiannu will definitely launch the craziest revenge, so we have to evacuate here quickly."
Huang Degong said in astonishment: "Your Majesty, you are not going to rescue Linqing?"
"I won't go." Chongzhen said, "I don't want Dongchang Mansion and Yanzhou Mansion."
The Beijing-Hangzhou Canal passes through Dongchang Prefecture and Yanzhou Prefecture. The slave-building army can advance along the canal, so these two prefectures are definitely unable to be defended. If Dongchang and Yanzhou Prefectures can be defended, there will be no need to spend so much effort to build them.
Wouldn't it be better to use the Huanghuai Defense Line to directly block Jiannu in Shandong? But this is obviously unrealistic.
