If Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty really showed up, how could he be so good as Abatai? Wouldn't it be normal for him to be unable to defeat him?
However, no matter what, the losses caused by entering the customs this time are too great! Let alone the Mongolian tribes, just bringing them out from Liaodong is not something the Qing Dynasty can bear!
Think about it, the Liaodong side expected to wait for them to plunder enough materials and people in the pass, but the result was a loss of troops and heavy losses. Who can accept it?
Abate was thinking silently, but Kong Youde began to talk about his findings.
First of all, it was abnormal as soon as they entered the pass. The Ming army divided into three groups and began to encircle them. This reaction speed was as if they knew in advance and had prepared a trap waiting for them to enter the pass. Can ordinary people have such an ability to predict the unknown?
Secondly, if there was such a powerful Ming army during the Battle of Songjin, why not go to the Battle of Songjin? Why did we lose those 120,000 Ming troops in vain? Besides, even Hong Chengchou admitted that within the pass
In fact, there is no army left that can fight!
In other words, this strong army only existed after the Battle of Songjin. Generally speaking, who can train such a strong army in such a short period of time?
Speaking of this army, Kong Youde, as a party involved and an authority on firearms in the Qing army, vouched that the firearms of the Ming army had a fast rate of fire and high power. This was true for both muskets and artillery. They were obviously much more powerful.
of.
Also, what is the concept of having such a strong armor, everyone has a pair of it? The Qing Dynasty fought for so many years and captured so much, but it could not do this.
How could the extremely poor court of the Ming Dynasty have the ability to build so many armors in just half a year? Unless it was conjured, this would be possible!
Furthermore, Kong Youde began to demonstrate his point of view based on the fact that the current emperor suddenly changed as a person.
After Balabala said a lot, Kong Youde looked at the prisoners in the Chinese military tent and asked clearly: "You think, if Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty hadn't appeared, how could these things be explained?"
"..." After hearing this, everyone else in the Zhongjun tent fell silent.
They had to admit that Ming Dynasty was really weird this time, and according to normal understanding, it was impossible to understand it.
However, if we really want to admit that Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty appeared, how can we fight against the Ming Dynasty? Taizu of the Ming Dynasty was a hero who was born as a beggar and drove the powerful Mongolian Empire out of the country!
Now that he has become an immortal, he must be even more powerful!
After a while, Turg still asked hesitantly: "The weapons and armor of the Ming army are really so powerful, and are all members equipped with them?"
It is useless to think about the matter of Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty. The most important thing is what to do now?
Therefore, Turg wanted to find out how powerful the Ming army was?
Upon hearing his words, Abate continued to remain silent, but Kong Youde said excitedly: "Of course it is true, otherwise we would have been defeated? If you don't believe it, many in the army witnessed that battle.
Under the rain of arrows, there was nothing they could do, and the swords and guns slashed at them, unable to cause any harm to them. Being caught off guard, they were completely defeated!"
Hearing what he said, several Jianlu who had fled back together in the Chinese military tent, including Wu Keshan of the Horqin tribe, immediately nodded in agreement, it was true.
Turge was dumbfounded when he saw this. This situation was beyond his imagination.
Apart from anything else, he was of course very aware of the power of armor. In the Qing army, it was clearly stipulated that armor could not be worn over armor, which explained one thing or two.
At this moment, I heard Abate sigh and say: "It's useless to say all this. Now we have no food and grass, and our organization is in chaos. The Ming army will definitely launch an attack early tomorrow morning. We must come up with a way to deal with it as soon as possible.
"
In the current situation, it can be said that it is difficult for a clever woman to make a meal without rice. How can we fight a war without capital?
This was a fool's errand. There was no way to gather the remaining troops, let alone reorganize them. Being surrounded by the Ming army, they might be attacked at dawn. It was really a desperate situation!
Inside the Chinese military tent, it was so quiet that it was a bit scary!
After a while, Abatai suddenly sighed and said to Turg: "When the sky gets dim tomorrow, you will lead the troops to break out. I will raise the flag, gather the remaining soldiers, attract the Ming army, and give you a chance."
Upon hearing this, Turg said with a little lack of confidence: "Master Baile, should I stay and you lead the troops out of the border?"
Kong Youde heard this and glanced at him. It was obvious that he was speaking against his will.
You're welcome, aren't you afraid that Abate will take him seriously?
But Abate obviously didn't care, and just said: "Do I still have the nerve to go back? Your Majesty will not let me go! That's it. You try to take people out of the detention center to reduce some losses, and at the same time give your Majesty
Report on the situation here in Ming Dynasty!"
Hearing this, Turg couldn't help but regret a little, he should have spoken louder just now!
With this in mind, when he was about to say more, Abatai had already turned his head, looked at Kong Youde and said, "You will go back with me too!"
Kong Youde couldn't help but be a little surprised after hearing this. Abatai didn't seem to treat him very much, but now at a critical moment of life and death, he actually asked him to go back?
Others actually can't figure it out. You know, those who stay are basically dead. It is the right thing to keep these Han people to give more people a chance to survive!
Perhaps Abatai knew what they were thinking, so he added: "In today's battle, I have truly seen the power of large-scale sophisticated firearms. You are a talented person in the Qing Dynasty's firearms field, and you must not be left behind in the pass."
Having said this, he still stared at Turge and ordered: "You have to pay attention, and you must protect King Gong Shun. Even if you die, he cannot die, do you understand?"
Abate had explained his reasons just now, and Turg could understand his request. After looking at Kong Youde, he nodded seriously and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Baylor, I understand!"
When Kong Youde heard this, he was very grateful at first, but after knowing the reason, he fell silent. He felt that he was under great pressure!
The power of the artillery and firearms of the imperial army was deeply imprinted in his mind. He was sure that the current firearms troops of the Yongwei Camp and the Jing Camp were more powerful than the instructors of Fo Langji back then.
How can I bring up a firearms army that is more powerful than Yongweiying and Jingying? No, even if it is quite good, it will be difficult!
In the Qing army, only its own army was the firearms army. It is not that the Qing Dynasty advocated riding and shooting, but it did not have enough materials, including blacksmiths, and its output was limited.
Originally, before this, the firearms in the Qing army were already sufficient. They were guaranteed to be of high quality and with clear rewards and punishments, so there would be no problem at all against the Ming army.
But now...
While he was thinking, Abatai was not idle, arranging countermeasures for the next day.
The next day, when the sky got slightly brighter, Abatai raised his flag and began to gather the defeated soldiers who had not returned to the team.
It has to be said that the banner of the coach is very attractive to these defeated generals who were left behind in the defeat.
When the Ming cavalry began to appear, about 40,000 people had gathered around Abatai.
Except for Eshuo's men and some of the troops he had rescued, the other Jianlu and Mongol Tatars all starved and froze all night. Enlisting for warmth did not alleviate their fear.
Unable to reorganize the organization, Abate just told his men that he would lead them to find a way out.
Moreover, he also led by example, occupying the vanguard position, guiding the flag, and began to break through to the east.
The only advantage of today's Jianlu is that all the remaining defeated generals have horses. Those who have no horses to ride had been killed or captured by the Ming army yesterday.
The Ming army naturally expected the Jianlu army to break through. More than 10,000 cavalry troops immediately rushed to the east to assist the Baigan Army and Guan Ning Army in blocking the Jianlu army from breaking through.
As long as the main force of the Ming army from Jizhou arrives, these captives will be the turtles in the urn and it is entirely possible to annihilate them all.
However, what everyone did not expect was that Jianlu just made a false shot. When he saw the Ming cavalry mobilized, he immediately turned around and headed south.
Along the way is where the commander's flag is, and there are about 20,000 men and horses, rushing towards Jizhou. On the other way, there are about 20,000 men and horses, heading southwest, seeming to outflank the Ming Dynasty infantry.
Needless to say, the Ming cavalry immediately intercepted, including Guan Ning's army, and followed in pursuit.
This time, Jianlu gave full play to the mobility of their cavalry. When they encountered the formation of the Ming infantry, they stopped attacking. Instead, they divided them into two and then into four, and the troops began to disperse.
As mentioned before, Jizhou's terrain includes the Yanshan Mountains and the North China Plain.
Yesterday's Jianlu troops fled north in the hope that the Jianlu troops who fled there would feel safe; but now, they were fleeing for their lives, so naturally they could no longer flee to the Yanshan Mountains, but instead fled into North China.
plain.
Once this force was dispersed, the Ming cavalry would naturally pursue Jianlu Dayu's location, or the part with the largest number of troops.
Sun Chuanting was also a little unprepared. The most important thing was that the terrain was not conducive to encirclement and suppression. Jianlu dispersed and fled, which made the encirclement and suppression more difficult. However, this also showed that Jianlu had given up the possibility of fighting again.
To be honest, many people were surprised that Jianlu, who had always been arrogant, didn't even make a desperate struggle.
After Sun Chuanting, who was sitting at the top of Jizhou City, heard the report, he immediately noticed Jianlu's intention and knew that Jianlu was going to escape.
However, he had no good solution for this.
The cavalry of the Ming Dynasty were chasing Jianlu, and the infantry rushed to various passes to strengthen the defensive strength, but it took time.
To be honest, once the cavalry really tries to escape at all costs, it will be very difficult to catch them.
The large eagle catches the chickens and spreads out in this Jizhou area.
Among them, Abatai's branch attracted the largest number of Ming cavalry!
