Brother Zhu Youxiao

Chapter 457
"put!"

"Boom bang bang-"

At six o'clock in the afternoon on the [-]th, when Manggurtai was shaken, the young Dorgon was extremely excited.

With the horse infantry, he advanced a hundred steps in front of Cao Wenzhao's uncle and nephew.

With the sound of the artillery, tens of thousands of fingernail-sized shotguns were fired, and the black horses and infantrymen in the front row were like rice after autumn when they met the sickle, and half of them were harvested in an instant, and more than a hundred people fell down.

"rush!"

Watching the artillery cool down, Dorgon calmly drew his knife and pointed it at the Ming army.

Seeing this, the iron cavalry of the Ming army also pulled out their guns one after another, and rushed towards Jianlu.

"Get on the horse!"

Cao Wenzhao gave an order, and he and the eight hundred Gan Tibetans around him got on the horse one after another. Seeing this, Cao Bianjiao also took his three hundred relatives on the horse.

With every gesture, more than a thousand cavalry appeared on the battlefield.

Seeing this, the tens of thousands of infantry stationed also began to divide their troops.

6000 people stayed and continued to operate the artillery, and 4000 people formed a phalanx of guns under the command of the Yingyangwei Commander.

"kill!"

The two white flag cavalry first contacted the first two thousand cavalry of the Ming army.

There are few people on one side, but they are condescending, and on the other side, there are many people, but their faces are high.

The sound of chaotic horseshoes resounded on the hilly highlands, and the sound of gunshots and the sound of bowstrings shot by arrows resounded each other.

"Clap clap-"

"collapse--"

"Uh!"

"Hissing..."

"Sorry-"

The sound of falling horses, the sound of being hit by arrows, the sound of being shot, the neighing of war horses, the sound of people and horses screaming in pain...

When various sounds swept across the square inch of the hills and mountains, many soldiers, horses, women and children migrating in the valley also quickened their pace.

Without the threat of the [-] artillery pieces, they quickly rushed past the first stone fort blocking the wide valley, but what followed were more than [-] taels of blue flags fleeing towards them in a hurry...

"This is?"

Liu Aita, Li Yongfang and others in the front row were stunned when they saw clearly who the leader of the fleeing horse infantry was.

Before a cup of tea, Da Jin and Shuobeile Mangurtai, who were still arrogant and arrogant, clamored to break through first, but at this moment they fled towards the besieged people like bereaved dogs.

"Beep--"

"Don't go there! The Ming army has magic soldiers!"

Mang Gurtai regained a little confidence after seeing the large group of people, and blew a wooden whistle to remind Liu Aita and others to hesitate.

"Divine soldier? What divine soldier?"

For a moment, Liu Aita was a little dumbfounded, not knowing what magical soldiers King Qi had arranged to frighten the usually extremely proud Mang Gurtai into such a virtue.

"Don't do it for now..."

Liu Aita's eyes were cloudy and uncertain, and she looked at the two supervisors, Jin Yiwei, who were beside her. After realizing that they were also stunned, she held back the idea of ​​​​holding her hand for the time being, and prepared to wait.

The two supervisors, Jin Yiwei's disguised assistant leaders, nodded one after another, and commanded the troops to make way for Mang Gurtai and the others.

Li Yongfang's troops also gave way, but Mang Gurtai only took one look, and chose Liu Aita's army without hesitation.

He rushed into the army with his men, turned his horse's head around himself, and came to Liu Aita's side in cold sweat.

"Be optimistic about the former army. Don't fight against the Ming army for the time being. They can shoot a round of magical firecrackers with just one breath, and they can hit at least three hundred steps away!"

"A magic soldier with three hundred paces?!" Although Liu Aita was an undercover agent, he was still frightened by Mang Gurtai's words. He even thought that Mang Gurtai was frightened and boasted indiscriminately in order to shirk responsibility.

"The other soldiers and horses..."

Liu Aita still didn't believe it, but Mang Gurtai's face told him that the matter was not fake.

"Only these few hundred people are alive..."

When Mang Gurtai said this, his whole face flushed, as if it was caused by the surge of energy and blood.

"You have to tell the Great Khan about this first, I will guard the former army, don't worry."

Liu Aita responded to Mang Gurtai with a stern face, and the other party nodded vigorously, then turned his horse's head and prepared to report the matter to Huang Taiji.

In the process of running, he naturally saw the two white flags fighting against Cao Wenzhao's troops, and the appearance of the two sides fighting back and forth also conveyed a lot of information to Mang Gurtai.

So when he came to Huang Taiji with the remaining [-] people from the two blue flags, and after finishing everything with Huang Taiji's black face, he pointed at the two white flags and the Ming army on the high slope of the hill with his whip:
"There won't be too many magical soldiers like that. If Cao Wenzhao's soldiers and horses were equipped with such magical soldiers, our entire army would have been wiped out!"

"..."

After Mangurtai finished speaking, everyone fell into silence for a while.

Huang Taiji did not doubt Mangurtai's words, because it is impossible for 1000 people to annihilate more than 9000 Jiama infantry in the time of a cup of tea.

To achieve this level, unless the [-] Ming army ambushed in front.

But if there are [-] Ming troops, then Mang Gurtai said it directly, and there is no need to bring up such a fantasy.

"Shen Bing Huo Gun..."

Huang Taiji muttered these four words, even though he knew that there were not many such firecrackers, he still felt a burst of despair.

Unless this army is short of ammunition, judging from the current situation, the annihilation of the army is only a short distance away.

"Change direction to break through, and send sentry cavalry to supervise the soldiers and horses!"

Huang Taiji chose to break through in another direction, and looked at Mangurtai after giving the order:

"Where's Abate?"

"Abate..." Mangurtai only felt bitterness in his mouth.

With his appearance, everyone can imagine the ending of Abate.

"Let's go back..."

Huang Taiji didn't say any more, but let Mangurtai return to the battle.

At this time, it is useless to punish Mang Gurtai, at least he detected the danger of Balibao for the army.

If they went to Balibao to break through as planned, they might all be wiped out here.

"Khan, we..."

Mang Gurtai returned to the battle dejectedly, but Daishan and Jierhalang were hesitant to speak when they saw this.

Huang Taiji raised his hand to signal them to stop talking, with a gloomy expression:

"Let Dorgon and the others continue to entangle the artillery of the Ming army, and we will retreat by changing our route."

"But the other mountain roads are narrow and long. I'm afraid if they really break through, the team will have to be stretched for twenty or thirty miles."

Dai Shan knew very well that if he took other mountain paths, the team of women and children would definitely be lengthened.

The Ming army has a large number of cavalry and is elite. Unless they fight a battle and break out after severely injuring the Ming army, the Jin army will either lose their women and children or their supplies in the face of the harassment of the Ming army cavalry.

"I can't manage that much for now, let's go first."

Huang Taiji had no choice, he just felt that the battle was too muddled, and the Ming army's hole card instantly caused the Jin army to lose one-sixth of its strength. It is already very good for him to hold his breath.

The balance of war fell with the appearance of Shence Guards. The number of the Ming army was about [-]. Although the Jin army still maintained a strength of about [-], it seemed to have been crushed by the Ming army in terms of combat power. situation.

"But which mountain path to take? The second widest mountain path is now..."

Dai Shan said, and at the same time, Huang Taiji looked at Cao Wenzhao's troops on the hillside.

"From here, break out!"

Huang Taiji's expression was sombre, and Dai Shan nodded slightly.

Judging from the current battle situation, although Cao Wenzhao's troops have many artillery pieces, they don't have the firecrackers that Mang Gurtai talked about.

If not, then there is nothing to be afraid of.

Casualties are inevitable, but as long as we can break through, everything will be fine.

Thinking of this, Huang Taiji didn't say any more, and Daishan quickly ordered the army to attack Cao Wenzhao's troops, and the women and children retreated, and retreated along the middle mountain road.

"Beep--"

"The army retreats, take the middle mountain road to break through!"

"Beep!"

"The army retreats, let's go..."

The sentry cavalry running back and forth made all the women and children dizzy, but they had no right to speak, so they could only follow the flow and start retreating.

At the same time, the cavalry and horse infantry of the Chinese army began to advance towards Cao Wenzhao's troops.

More than 2 soldiers and horses began to rush towards them. Dorgon, who was fighting with the cavalry of the Ming army, saw this and quickly shouted:

"The army is pressing, what is there to be afraid of? Give this group of Han dogs..."

"boom--"

When the black shadow struck, Dorgon resisted hastily, but only felt pain in his mouth.

He raised his head hastily, and saw the young general surnamed Cao riding down on a tall horse with a gun.

"The person who killed you was Cao Bianjiao!"

Cao Bianjiao shouted, turned back in a staggered manner, and pierced Dorgon's chest with a gun.

"Where's my guard?!"

Dorgon dodged in a hurry, not daring to fight Cao Bianjiao, just wanted to know where Baijiaba Yala, who was guarding him, went.

When he realized it, he realized that all the Baijiaba Yala had fallen on the ground and howled. Cao Bianjiao in the chaotic army was like no one's land. The sudden right stab shot down several people.

Cao Bianjiao's bravery was seen by everyone, and Cao Wenzhao, who was in charge of the [-]-gun platoon, couldn't help being happy when he saw it. The commander of Ying Yangwei next to him bowed:
"Xiao Zongbing Cao is indeed your nephew, Zongbing."

"That's it!" Cao Wenzhao smiled, with unstoppable pride on his face.

Similarly, Cao Bianjiao chased and killed Dorgon, and the two white flags who wanted to defend Dorgon were shot down by him.

This scene was seen by Duo Duo, who was in the rebellious army, and he hurriedly brought back more than [-] Baijiaba Yala around him to help Dorgon.

"Brother, go this way!"

Doduo shouted while killing the enemy. Riding on horseback, he faced the Ming army cavalry with his skillful bow and horse.

Seeing the brave [-] cavalry and [-] cavalry infantry fought by the Lord General, he did not back down.

The sound of weapons colliding, horses neighing, cries of pain, and cries for help...

The whole battlefield was in chaos, but when Cao Wenzhao saw Huang Taiji's banner advancing, the smile on his face disappeared and turned serious.

"Let this kid withdraw!"

Cao Wenzhao was worried that Cao Bianjiao would be encircled, and the Commander Ying Yangwei who was next to him heard the words and quickly asked for gold.

"Clang clang clang-"

The sound of the Ming army's call to gold sounded, which gave the Jin army the courage to continue fighting.

Dorgon, who was successfully picked up by Duo Duo, recalled his embarrassment even more belatedly, so he ordered out of embarrassment:

"Tangle Cao Bianjiao, kill him first to sacrifice the flag!"

As soon as he said a word, the horse infantry of the Jin army who were surrounded by the retreat of the cavalry of the Ming army rushed towards Cao Bianjiao.

For a while, Cao Bianjiao and the hundreds of cavalry around him had difficulty breaking through, which made Cao Wenzhao flustered.

"I'll leave it to you here, and I'll take someone to rescue this kid!"

After all, Cao Wenzhao was about to lead more than [-] retreating cavalry to rescue Cao Bianjiao. Who would have thought that he would not wait for him to act. When Cao Bianjiao saw Huang Taiji's big banner rushing towards him, he simply raised his arms and shouted:
"It's time for a real man to serve his country, anyone who has the guts to follow me!"

"Willing to fight with General Xiao Cao!"

Hundreds of riders saw that their retreat path was blocked by two white flags, so they followed Cao Bianjiao and rushed towards Huang Taiji.

The north wind hunts, the war horse neighs...

Hundreds of cavalry followed Cao Bianjiao and rushed down the hills, heading straight for Huang Taiji's Chinese army.

Anyway, he couldn't break through, Cao Bianjiao thought that His Royal Highness Qi wanted to kill Huang Taiji, so he simply followed His Royal Highness Qi's wish.

Hundreds of semi-armored cavalry charged from top to bottom, from high to low. Such a battle made the Mongolian rangers who were leading the battle of the Jin army a little afraid.

They tried to station their horses and shoot arrows, but the Ming army cavalry skillfully protected their cheeks with their arm armors, and the half armor protected their horses, so they rushed straight into the Mongolian cavalry formation.

Cao Bianjiao cleared the way for the iron cavalry, rushed from left to right, rushed into the formation of rangers, shot down more than ten people in a row, and the rangers behind saw them scared and dodged one after another.

"Protect the Great Khan!"

Before Huang Taiji walked up the hill, he heard the sound of infantry on horses with yellow flags in front of him protecting him. Looking up, he saw hundreds of Ming army cavalry charging towards him.

"Don't panic! The former army dismounted and formed a formation, defending the formation with iron spears, and Bai Jiaba Yala greeted him abruptly!"

Huang Taiji didn't pay attention to these hundreds of cavalry, but at this moment, the sound of rumbling horseshoes and artillery came from the top of the mountain.

"kill!"

"Boom bang bang-"

The dull artillery and more than [-] cavalry shouted to kill at the same time. The Ming army did not show any fear and attacked many with few. This made Dorgon, who was caught between Cao Wenzhao and Cao Bianjiao's uncle and nephew, very uncomfortable.
He didn't dare to bear the charge of the iron cavalry, so he and Duoduo each led a flag and retreated to the left and right.

But as soon as they withdrew, Huang Taiji and the others were exposed to the iron hooves of Cao Wenzhao and others.

More than [-] stone bullets flew across the sky just right, and fell into the middle army under Huang Taiji's command.

For a moment, the stone bullet turned into a ricochet and bounced around, injuring more than a thousand people and causing chaos in the Chinese army.

The inlaid yellow flag in the front row finally dismounted and formed a formation. Seeing that the iron spear and the iron cavalry were about to collide, they didn't want the Ming cavalry to take out their blunderbuss and aim at them indiscriminately.

"Clap clap-"

White smoke emerged, bullets flew, and a gap was punched in the impenetrable spear formation. Cao Bianjiao led hundreds of cavalry into the formation at the head of the horse.

They rushed for more than ten steps, and the front line of defense of the Chinese army was almost pierced.

Baijiaba Yala shot the arrow in time, and among the hundreds of cavalry, many of them were shot through the cheeks by the armor-piercing arrow and fell off their horses. Can't survive.

Seeing this scene, Cao Bianjiao felt even more resentful. He was young and energetic, and he had never suffered such humiliation, so he wanted to continue to advance.

Even in front of him was the elite Baijia Ba Yala of the Golden Army, he did not retreat. After the leaping horse dodged the Jin Army horse infantry who was trying to cut off the horse's leg, he waved his iron mace and hit a Bai Jia Ba Yala heavily in the face. superior.

Yellow teeth with flesh and blood flew out, even this person was knocked into the air for several steps, his facial features became a mass of rotten flesh, the dead couldn't die anymore.

Bai Jia, who watched this scene, was terrified, and quickly shot Cao Bianjiao in the face, trying to kill him face-to-face.

Just waiting for them to react, Cao Bianjiao had already rushed towards Huang Taiji's Chinese army banner.

"This man is as brave as Liu Ting! Please stay away temporarily!"

Jierhalang looked at Cao Bianjiao, who was less than a hundred steps away from them, and while feeling terrified, he was even more worried about Huang Taiji's comfort, and hurriedly dissuaded him.

"Why should I be afraid of him? There is Oboi among Baijiaba Yala!"

Huang Taiji spoke conceitedly, but he didn't want the Oboi he was talking about to be complaining.

He wanted to rush up and call out his name like Romance of the Three Kingdoms, but Cao Bianjiao swung an iron mace over, and the heavy force pushed him to his knees on the ground, almost eating his stomach full of dirt.

To Cao Bianjiao, Oboi was just an ordinary Baijiaba Yala with stronger strength, so he didn't notice him at all, he just pushed him down, and continued to rush towards Huang Taiji's Chinese army banner.

Killing the general and capturing the flag is the greatest honor for a vanguard officer on the battlefield.

He rushed forward, seeing that two white-armored Ba Yala were about to chop off the horse's legs with their swords. Before Cao Bianjiao's imperial horse jumped up to dodge, he rushed up a dozen iron cavalry, and at the same time smashed away the golden army, a rough The voice also sounded.

"Little General Cao, let's cover the formation!"

Cao Bianjiao looked back, he was a Duogan camp general under his uncle's command.

"Where's my uncle?"

Although the battlefield is dangerous, for Cao Bianjiao, he is more worried about his uncle's head rushing into battle.

"Mr. Cao is plundering in the rear, please release Mr. Cao..."

Before Fan Jiang could speak, he saw a Jin army trying to shoot an arrow, so he quickly raised his shield to protect Cao Bianjiao, and he used his gauntlet to resist.

The armor of the Ming army was made of manganese steel developed by the Military Armament Institute, which was very hard. Jianlu's wrought iron arrows could not penetrate it, leaving only pits.

Under the cover of the [-] cavalrymen of Duogan, Cao Bianjiao rushed all the way, and the golden army who tried to face him were all dealt with by the cavalry of Duogan on the left and right. For a while, he rushed into the position fifty steps in front of Huang Taiji.

"Khan! Back first!"

"Sweaty..."

"Sweaty..."

Seeing Cao's bravery, people around him began to dissuade Huang Taiji, and Huang Taiji was also a little scared.

It's just that he was worried that if he moved, he might have a blow to morale, so he hesitated for a while.

During his hesitating few breaths, Cao Bianjiao rushed into more than 27 steps again, seeing that he and Huang Taiji only had [-] or [-] steps, Cao Bianjiao and Duogan's more than [-] cavalrymen felt hot and couldn't hide their excitement.

"Kill those who are lucky in Huangtai! Reward ten thousand taels of silver!"

Cao Bianjiao raised his arms and shouted, and the cavalry around him instantly became energetic and rushed forward in formation.

"I'm going to inspect the rear army."

Huang Taiji couldn't say back, so he changed his words and said that he asked for an inspection.

When the people around heard the words, they flocked him to leave the front army, but when Cao Bianjiao saw that Huang Taiji was about to leave, he immediately threw up his spear and caught it like a javelin.

It was only time to get up, and arrows were attacking all around like locusts, he tried his best to protect his face, and let the arrows hit him.

In just the blink of an eye, there were dozens of them on his chest, but with the development of iron smelting technology, the arrows have long been useless to the armor. Cao Bianjiao, who was protecting his cheek, only suffered some skin trauma and sat back on the horse. Then he was ready to continue to kill Huang Taiji.

The spear he tossed was a little weaker, and he pierced a Baijiaba Yala in front of Huang Taiji. While knocking the man down, Huang Taiji was startled into a cold sweat, and hurriedly retreated to the rear.

"Clang clang-"

"withdraw!"

The sound of the Ming army's Mingjin sounded all the time. Cao Bianjiao could only retreat with regret as he saw that Huangtai was going far away.

Compared with the difficulty of breaking in, retreating is much simpler.

Due to the movement of Huang Taiji's big banner, everyone followed Huang Taiji's movement, and no one dared to stop for greed and attack Cao Bianjiao and the others.

The anxious occupation of the two armies was broken by Cao Bianjiao's sudden formation, and both sides paused to return to their own formation, leaving behind a lot of corpses.

The Jin army left more than [-] corpses and successfully climbed to the hilly highlands. They were on the same hilly highlands as the Ming army, and they were no longer suppressed by the Ming army in terms of location.

Although the Ming army allowed the Jin army to gain a favorable location, compared to the embarrassing appearance of the Jin army and the more than 600 corpses on the ground, they only lost less than [-] people.

Cao Bianjiao led the cavalry back into the formation, everyone got off their horses, and the horses were panting with exhaustion.

Cao Wenzhao came with his men on horseback, and when he saw Cao Bianjiao, he was pulling out the arrow stuck in his body.

More than [-] arrows did not cause him any casualties, even other Ming cavalry.

"The Jin army suffered heavy casualties and was busy breaking through the encirclement. It must be due to the proper defense of Balibao, and it should be credited."

Cao Wenzhao calmly analyzed that compared to him in history, he is a little more calm, otherwise he should have led his own troops to rescue Cao Bianjiao just now.

"It's a pity that Huang Taiji was not killed. If it succeeds, His Highness must be very happy!"

Cao Bianjiao took a sip of water and looked angrily at the golden army formation.

Cao Wenzhao nodded, thinking the same as Cao Bianjiao, but he still comforted him:
"It's not a good thing for a chaotic army to rush into the formation. I didn't scold you when you were cut off from the front and back just now. If it's normal, you can't personally lead the troops into the formation."

"Besides, Huang Taiji must die, so there's no need to risk your own life for a dying man."

"Nephew understands." Cao Bianjiao was young and energetic, but he could still listen to Zhu Youjian and Cao Wenzhao's words.

"Beep--"

The whistle sounded, and the direction came from Balibao, causing everyone to look back.

The magician Wei Tang of Balibao rode to the front of the formation, and then he spit out the wooden whistle, bowed to Cao Wenzhao and others and said:

"Great victory in Balibao, the old slave's seventh son, Abatai, was shot dead, and his body has been sent to Shangjing City, 230 people were shot to death in Zhenglan Banner and Xianglan Banner Jianlu!"

"According to the military order of God's policy guard Liu Bianliu, commander and envoy, we are here to report victory."

"Commander Liu asked Commander Cao to show me that if Jianlu breaks through the siege, he can use his strategic guards to stop him!"

"..." Tang Qi's words silenced the Ming army.

Compared with the great victory of Balibao beheading more than 7 people, they joined forces with the main force of the Jin army, [-] to [-] people fought for half a day, and finally killed [-] Jin troops, which seems so ridiculous...

　It is estimated that there will be an update tomorrow, but it will be earlier, sorry
