Chapter 103: Fifteen Baylor Cried to Stabilize the Army
Update time:2012-11-14
The sound of the drums was as loud as a war song, and like a torch in the dark night, guiding the Jin army who had crossed the river but fled northward in a hurry, and was at a loss to rush towards the Khan's tent and the location of the Khan.
Under the call of the drum, one, two, three... more and more Jin armies flowed into the sea like several rivers, gathering under the golden dragon banner of Tian Cong Khan.
The panic of people's hearts was shaken by the passionate drumbeat.
King Khan, the invincible King Khan![
Huang Taiji's golden dragon flag has become a reassurance for all the Eight Banners warriors in this chaos. As long as the Khan is here, the sky will not fall!
Basically all the Jin Army thought this way. Slowly, the fear gradually receded. As more and more soldiers and horses came to obey the orders, the Jin Army's position began to stabilize.
………
The first person to meet Huang Taiji was Yue Tuo. When the Ming army was on fire, he ran the fastest. After crossing the river, because of the heavy smoke, he didn't know where the Khan was for a while and thought that Huang Taiji had withdrawn to the Daling River.
, so he didn’t think much about it and led the more than a thousand pendulums who had followed him across the river and headed straight for the Daling River.
When the drums sounded, he had already led his men to run for more than two miles. When he heard the drums, he immediately realized that King Khan was still by the Xiaoling River. He did not dare to hesitate at all, and immediately led the remaining troops towards the drums.
Come to the place.
On the way, some more Zhenghong Banner soldiers were gathered. When they arrived at Huang Taiji's place, nearly 3,000 Zhenghong Banner soldiers had gathered behind Yue Tuo.
One after another, Azig, Dorgon, and Duoyi also appeared in the thick smoke. The three brothers retreated almost at the same time. In addition to the red-armored Baiya La who personally led the army, most of the Manchurian and Mengniu Lu were also trapped.
In the middle of the river. However, the strength of the three brothers is already strong. With these red-armored Penya La, they have three to four thousand cavalry, as well as scattered Niu Lu. The number of troops who can successfully cross the river should be around eight thousand.
Compared with Azig losing his helmet, Dorgon was even more unlucky. Half of his braids were singed. When he appeared in front of Huang Taiji, his face was black and stained, and he was in an indescribable embarrassment.
Duoyi wasn't much better. Although he didn't lose his armor or have his hair braided, his face was frighteningly white. It's no wonder for him. After all, he is the youngest among the brothers. He is only sixteen this year.
At the age of 18, I used to go to war with my father and brothers, and they always won. I never won first and then lost like today, and the defeat was so miserable. I lost almost five or six cattle records in the south bank, and
He was almost overtaken by the Ming army and died.
There was thick smoke all over the field, there were fires on the other side, and there were shouts of death in the river. No one knew how the battle was going. When he had just escaped, he was afraid that he would not see his brothers, and when he heard the drums, he didn't even dare to come back.
After the hard persuasion of the Goshikhas, he bravely came to see the fourth brother of King Khan.
Seeing Fourth Brother's golden dragon flag from a distance, Duoyi burst into tears. He howled and ran to Huang Taiji, fell to his knees on the ground with a plop, hugged Fourth Brother's thigh and cried loudly, his body shaking violently.
, crying so hard that Huang Taiji frowned. When his crying subdued, he leaned over to help him up, and comforted him: "Fifteenth brother, don't cry, brothers are all here, don't be afraid, don't
I'm afraid... the Ming army hasn't come yet, but even if it comes, my brother will protect you."
Huang Taiji still loves his fifteenth brother. This younger brother is about the same age as Hauge. It can be said that Huang Taiji treats Duoyi like a son. Although he is dissatisfied with his being so timid, he still comforts Duoyi harmoniously.
Come.
Under Huang Taiji's comfort, Duoyi gradually stopped crying. Xu felt that he was very safe in the arms of his fourth brother, and actually lay on Huang Taiji's shoulder like a child.
Seeing this, Huang Taiji gave a bitter smile and did not say anything to Duoyi. He let him hold him like this and tried his best to search the crowd. Occasionally, his eyes were choked by the smoke. He did not reach out to Duoyi to rub his eyes, but
Close your eyes, roll your eyes a few times, and let the tears dry.
Next to me, Darhan, Ah Shan, Fan Wencheng, Ning Wan and others were laughed at like children in Duoyi. They all thought that Fifteen Baylor is also the leader of a banner, how can he really be like a child?
Woolen cloth.
At this moment, they were not as panicked and scared as before. Huang Taiji's calmness not only affected the rout of the Eight Banners, but also affected them.
…………
When Duoyi burst into tears, Engelder and other Mongolian princes also came with their people one after another, and there were about four to five thousand cavalry from various Mongolian tribes crossing the river.
For this battle, Huang Taiji mobilized a total of 5,000 soldiers with the red flag, 4,000 soldiers with the red flag, 6,000 soldiers with the white flag, 4,000 soldiers with the white flag, 3,500 soldiers with the blue flag, and 2,000 soldiers with the yellow flag. There were six banners in total.
More than 24,000 cavalry participated in the battle. In addition, there were 10,000 troops from the Mongolian Horqin, Tulu, and Aohan tribes, plus more than 3,000 troops from Tong Yangxing's Han banner. The total force reached 40,000, far more than
The 20,000 troops Zhang Chun estimated before the war that the Jin Army could mobilize for reinforcements were much higher.[
Now there are only more than 10,000 people from each banner crossing the river. Including the Mongols and those soldiers and horses who have not yet come to join them, the total Jin army on the north bank is less than 20,000. This means that until now, the Jin army has
The army has suffered nearly 10,000 casualties.
Such heavy casualties had never happened even after entering the customs two years ago, but they happened today, and they happened under the premise of victory. This cannot help but make Huang Taiji feel angry and heartbroken. You know, the Eight Banners Man Mengniu Lu combined
With no more than 100,000 soldiers, Dai Jin was able to found a country and defeat Mongolia, Ming Dynasty, and North Korea by relying on these Eight Banners warriors who were good at fighting. It can be said that every casualty will weaken Dai Jin's strength, so Huang Taiji warned him more than once
Generals must try their best to preserve their own strength when fighting the enemy. They must not fight a vicious battle that kills one thousand enemies and damages eight hundred. Generals are also required to treat their soldiers well and not abandon any injured soldier.
All this was just to preserve Dai Jin's vitality to the greatest extent. But he didn't expect that in a short period of time, tens of thousands of soldiers would be lost in Xiaoling River. This couldn't help but make him extremely heartbroken!
However, Huang Taiji no longer has time to count the exact number of troops and horses lost. The top priority is to quickly rectify the troops and horses, coordinate the withdrawal of troops and horses in the river, and immediately build a defense line on the north bank. The Ming army must not really perform the Fei attack.
Water battle!
Under the chubby face, there is a restless heart hidden, but the fat round face is very calm and confident.
Huang Taiji tried his best to make his actions look as normal so that the generals could feel his calmness. Only if he remained calm would they not feel panic.
Military morale, the most important thing right now is military morale. As long as the military morale is not chaotic, and with the good fighting skills of the Eight Banners warriors, the Ming army has reversed the situation, and he is confident that he will crush them in Xiaoling River!
After taking a gentle breath, Huang Taiji looked up one by one, only to find that Mang Gurtai was not there. He couldn't help but ask Dorgon and the others: "Where is Mang Gurtai?"
Third brother?
Dorgon looked around hurriedly and found that there was no figure of Mang Gurtai, no trace of Dege, and he couldn't even see anyone with the Zhenglan Banner. He couldn't help but be startled, and his face changed:
Could it be that the entire Zhenglan Banner army was wiped out?!
Azig looked toward the middle of the river and said hesitantly: "King Khan, when I was crossing the river just now, I saw that the third brother and the tenth brother were entangled by the Ming army. I'm afraid Zhenglan Banner will still be trapped there."
Hearing this, Huang Taiji's face darkened, and after a few seconds, he decisively ordered: "Ajige, Dorgon! Pin your people to the shore for me. I can't let a single Ming army soldier cross the river! I'm going to kill you."
I have killed all my slaves, you have to stand up for me, otherwise don’t blame me for not caring about my brotherhood!"
"Brother, take your orders!"
Azig and Dorgon looked at each other, turned around, and led their men to quickly organize their troops and run towards the river.
"Yue Tuo, you, the red flag, are responsible for collecting the defeated troops of all banners. Anyone who crosses the river, no matter which flag they are, will be temporarily led by you, and you can listen to my orders at any time."
"Duoyi, you stay with me and meet with me later, Mr. Zhang Chun."
"Ah Shan, you go to Daling River immediately to mobilize troops. We must arrive within half a column of incense."
After issuing several orders in one breath, Huang Taiji calmed down a little. Over there, Azig and Dorgon led the troops toward the river with smoke rising. The smoke was not as thick as before, but the fire on the south bank burned to the river.
Yes, white smoke drifted from the place swept by the previous fire. Although it was also choking, it was obviously much better than the black smoke just now.
The wind got stronger and stronger, and soon, the black smoke covering the middle of the river was blown away, and the line of sight became clear.
