The red-armored peniyala are the personal soldiers of the banner masters. They are also called Aliha chaoha soldiers in each banner, which means the most capable warriors. They are much more elite than ordinary armored soldiers and white-armored penyaras. The whole There are only 260 red-armored and tooth-laden soldiers in the Zhengbai Banner. This time when he traveled thousands of miles to rescue Shenyang, Dorgon took all these red-armored and tooth-laden soldiers with him. At this moment, he defeated the young Ming army with one blow. The horse rushed into the Ming army, and the Ming army immediately stopped.
The white-armored Bai Yala and the armored soldiers saw that the flag master was leading the way, and they all fought bravely. Many of their relatives had died in Shenyang City. At this moment, they were enemies of the Ming army and were extremely jealous.
At first, some cavalrymen dismounted and fired arrows. After seeing that the Ming army could not form an organized resistance at all, they all immediately gave up their bows and arrows, drew their long swords and followed their cavalry to kill the Ming army.
Most of the chaotic Ming army was composed of civilians, which was beyond Dorgon's expectation. However, with the arrow on the string, he was not allowed to think about where the main force of the Ming army was. He commanded the cavalry to continuously drive the fleeing people towards Expulsion from the front. This tactic is the sheep-driving tactic that the Eight Banners soldiers are good at. However, in the past, they drove away Ming troops, but now they drive away unarmed Han people.
No matter where the main force of the Ming army was and what the commander-in-chief of the Ming army had planned, they would not be able to assemble as quickly as possible under the collision of the fleeing people.
Under Dorgon's deliberate driving, no one paid attention to the young and strong Han people who had been dispersed at the beginning. Many of the faint-headed people actually ran along with the Jin army's cavalry.
In the front are the Han people fleeing for their lives, in the middle are the Jin army driving away the murderers, and in the back are a group of young and strong Han people fleeing for their lives. This scene is quite interesting.
........
The Ming army was a mixture of soldiers and civilians. The long convoy was ten miles away, and the white flag came fiercely. It was beyond anyone's imagination to defeat the six thousand young men behind them in one battle. There were hundreds of former Shenyang Han troops holding firecrackers. The Ming army tried to form a square formation to resist the Jin army, but before they could successfully form a formation, they were dispersed by the Han people in the team.
The Han people had long known that the Eight Banners cavalry was powerful, and when they heard the shouts of killing coming from the rear, they immediately became confused. In panic, the driver of the carriage did not follow the arrangements of the Ming army to escape, but drove the carriage on his own. They rushed to places where they thought they could avoid the Eight Banners soldiers. This move immediately threw the entire team into chaos.
The cries of women and children filled the riverside. From time to time, carriages collided with each other, causing the carriages to overturn. The Han people who overturned the carriages ran forward in panic, ignoring their companions who were under the carriages.
Thousands of Han people were crowded in the middle section of the road. Those who were running slowly in front were pushed to the ground by those behind. The people behind were only running for their own lives and did not care about the people on the ground. After trampling on them, they did not see the shadow of the Eight Banners soldiers. , the Han people trampled each other to death by hundreds of people.
The situation was very chaotic, but Dayong didn't have much worry. He was just curious as to why Dorgon was the one catching up instead of Hong Tai, and it was Zheng Baiqi who came after him.
Starting from Shenyang, Dayong never put the direct descendants of the Jinzhou Army in the brigade. Instead, he always marched at the front. Those placed behind him were the six thousand young men, and the ones in the middle to maintain order were the newly surrendered thousand. Since there were many Han troops, the casualties of these people were negligible in Dayong's opinion.
Standing on a high slope and seeing the Jin army driving people forward like a herd of sheep, Dayong couldn't help but laugh.
Behind the slope, 800 heavy armored cavalrymen of the Wolf Cavalry Corps had put on their armor with the help of auxiliary troops, and 1,500 light cavalrymen also began to move forward slowly.
To the left and right, two Qianhu gunmen from the left battalion of the infantry were making final preparations under the leadership of their officers.
............
"Commander, the Wolf Cavalry Army is ready."
Cao Bianjiao pulled out the long knife from his waist. The crowd swarming to escape did not move him much. He just looked coldly at the Jin Army cavalry to the north who were constantly harvesting human lives.
"attack."
Dayong's expression looked serious, but he was very relaxed in his heart. If it was Hong Tai who came without such a small number of cavalry, he would certainly be nervous, but now there is no reason to be nervous, because he believes in Xiao Cao and believes that he has created it with his own hands.
The wolf cavalry army will definitely be able to completely annihilate this white flag cavalry.
Of course, now is not a good time to attack. Although the fleeing Han people have caused trouble for Zhengbai Banner, they will also cause trouble for the Ming army. For these Han people who came here alive from the ice and snow, Dayong also sympathized with them.
It was really difficult to order the Ming army to kill them all first in order to clear the battlefield.
"If Dorgon runs away, let him run away."
After listening to Dayong's last instructions, Cao Bianjiao nodded with a smile, pushed his legs hard, and the war horse immediately jumped forward.
800 heavy armored cavalry ran slowly towards the north like a wall at the same speed.
1,500 light cavalry rushed towards the Taizi River under the command of Peng Dachui.
The 1,600 Wolf Cavalry auxiliary cavalry, led by several hundred households, also circled the left flank of the Wolf Cavalry's heavy armor, ready to cut off the Jin army's retreat at any time.
Dayong personally led 800 cavalry to provide support in the center. Two Qianhu fire gun soldiers from the second left battalion of the infantry had finished loading and were ready to join the battle formation at any time.
Dayong's task for the infantry was to accommodate refugees, and he had no intention of letting the infantry join the battle.
This is a cavalry battle, and Dayong wants to see how the wolf cavalry army built by himself can crush the Eight Banners cavalry with less than a thousand people.
............
Dorgon discovered the Ming cavalry slowly coming from the front, and immediately ordered his own soldiers to blow trumpets to gather the cavalry who were chasing the fleeing people.
Except for dozens of unlucky ones, Zhengbai Banner did not lose any troops, and not one of the 260 red-armored Baiya La was injured. On the contrary, the number of Ming troops and Han people who died under their swords was probably three to four thousand, if not
Dorgon blew the trumpet to gather troops, and at least thousands of corpses of the prince would be laid out by the river.
As expected of the elite selected by the Zhengbai Banner, the time from hearing the trumpet to gathering was very short, showing excellent organizational and combat effectiveness.
As the Ming army got closer and closer, Dorgon suddenly felt a familiar sense of fear. Only when the Ming army got closer did he realize why he felt fear - it came at a time when it almost changed the outcome of last year's Daling River War.
Ming army heavy armored cavalry.
Jinzhou Army?
Dorgon's brows were deeply furrowed. The Ming army's heavy armored cavalry showed superior combat power in the Battle of Xiaolinghe and the Eight Banners to this day. If it weren't for the high cost of building heavy armored cavalry, Hong Tai would have ordered the Eight Banners to build heavy armored cavalry.
Also build the same heavy armored cavalry.
Thinking of the damage caused by the heavy armor of the Ming army to the light cavalry of the Eight Banners, Dorgon did not dare to act rashly. He just did not dare to act rashly, and he had no intention of withdrawing his troops. If he was afraid of the heavy armor of the Ming army and withdrew his troops, his position as the Great Khan would forever be lost.
It has nothing to do with myself.
Dorgon suppressed his fear of the heavy armor of the Ming army. He carefully observed the opponent's array, trying to find a way to defeat the enemy. But he soon discovered that he seemed to have no chance of winning, because the Ming army not only had one heavy armored cavalry
, and there were more light cavalry than his own. He clearly saw two Ming army light cavalry approaching the battlefield. If it were not for the purpose of avoiding the fleeing Han people, these two light cavalry would have arrived at the battlefield faster than now.
Much faster.
"Whoever stands in his way dies! Whoever stands in his way dies!"
Without the cry of the heavy armored cavalry of the Wolf Cavalry, the fleeing Han people did not dare to rush towards the queue of heavy armored cavalry. The heavy armored cavalry armed to the teeth was really chilling, especially the strings hanging on the chests of the cavalry.
Skeletons are even more frightening. No one wants to be trampled to death by those heavy armored cavalry. Most of the Han people chose to escape to both sides. There were also a few who were slow to react and had no time to run. As a result, they were crushed by the wolf cavalry.
The army was trampled to pieces.
Once the Wolf Cavalry comes out, no one can block the way. Unless all the enemies are dead, the Wolf Cavalry will always move forward.
