Chongzhen Daming: Starting from Coal Mountain

"Jiannu is broken!"

"Jiannu is broken!"

"Jiannu is broken!"

Seeing the defeat of the Eight Banners Mongolia and the Eight Banners Manchuria, the infantry and cavalry of the Ming army cheered at the same time, and the huge sound almost pierced the sky.

"Get on the horses, everyone! Chase me!"

"Catch up with Jiannu, kill them all, kill them all!"

Naturally, Hu Guozhu would not let go of this good opportunity to beat the dog in the water.

As a member of Yiding in Liaoxi, Hu Guozhu has experienced too many beatings of dogs in the water.

Sometimes it was the dog who was beaten up by Jiannu, and sometimes it was the dog who beat up the bandit soldiers.

Hu Guozhu knew better that when he beat the dog in the water hard, he could cause the biggest damage to the defeated party.

The next moment, the soldiers of the cavalry battalion left the hollow phalanx one after another, first untied the reins of the horses from the horse posts, and then got on the horses one after another, and launched a chase with flintlock guns.

The cavalry of the Ming army swept towards Jiannu like a tide.

Hu Guozhu held a short gun and rushed to the front.

Soon, a bannerman with a yellow flag appeared in front of him.

The Eight Banners Manchuria's tactical literacy is indeed good. Under such circumstances, they have not completely lost their will to fight. When they sensed that there are cavalry from the Ming army approaching behind them, Banner Ding opened his bow and turned back with an arrow.

Hu Guozhu caught a glimpse of Jiannu drawing his bow, and subconsciously dodged.

There was a swoosh, and a heavy arrow almost brushed against his cheek.

Then before Jiannu drew his bow and set his arrow again, Hu Guozhu hurriedly urged his horse to charge forward.

At a distance of twenty steps, Hu Guozhu raised the short gun and pulled the trigger. Hearing a loud "bang", Jiannu, who was about to draw the bow again, fell off the horse.

Jiannu twitched a few times after falling from his horse and then fell silent.

"Woo!" After firing a gun, Hu Guozhu had to stop to reload the ammunition.

Just as Hu Guozhu was loading ammunition, the soldiers of the cavalry battalion had already overtaken him, chasing and killing the Jiannu rout in front of him overwhelmingly.

Occasionally, the Ming army fell, but Jiannu still did not completely lose resistance.

After loading the ammunition as quickly as possible, Hu Guozhu urged his horse to chase after him again.

After chasing and chasing for more than ten miles like this, at least thousands of Jiannu were shot and killed.

Hu Guozhu has already started to kill at this moment, and he is ready to chase and kill all the way like this.

Hu Guozhu has even longed in his heart, can he chase all the way to Beijing?
However, his dream was soon shattered, Yiding Yiding quickly chased after him.

"Hu Junmen, Hu Junmen, Hujunmen!" Yi Ding shouted while chasing, "There is a decree from the Holy Spirit, be careful that there are still ambushes in the establishment of slaves, don't chase anymore! There is an order from the Holy Spirit, don't chase any more!"

Hu Guozhu looked back, and it was Wubatan who came.

"Lord Wu?" Hu Guozhu asked with a frown, "Is it really His Majesty's will?"

"It can be false." Wu Batan snorted, "Hurry up and blow the trumpet to withdraw the troops."

Hu Guozhu naturally did not dare to resist the order, and immediately ordered the trumpeter to sound the rallying horn.

"Dud beep beep beep..." The long and clear call of the assembly horn instantly resounded through the sky.

Dozens of trumpeters and dozens of suonas blew the assembly horn together, and the sound of the horn soon spread throughout the grassland. The cavalry soldiers who were frantically chasing and killing the Jiannu defeated soldiers turned their horses around and returned to the assembly. …

The sound of the trumpet is an order. When you hear the sound of the assembly horn, you must withdraw immediately even if there are mountains of gold and silver ahead.

This kind of doctrine has already been deeply engraved in the bones of every soldier of the new army, so after hearing the sound of the rallying horn, none of the cavalry hesitated to return.

All the cavalry withdrew immediately.

As soon as the cavalry of the Ming army withdrew, the distance between them and the Jiannu rout was suddenly widened.

Hu Guozhu couldn't help but sighed as he watched the Jiannu army fleeing all over the mountains and plains.

It's a pity this time, if you continue to chase and kill, at least tens of thousands of Jiannu can be killed.

"Hu Junmen, don't sigh." Wu Tan shook his head and said, "I also think that the Holy Majesty's judgment is correct. Maybe there are really ambush soldiers who built slaves not far ahead. If your cavalry battalion crashes in, you will definitely suffer a lot. deficit."

"Impossible." Hu Guozhu shook his head decisively and said, "It is impossible for Jiannu to have ambushes."

Wu Batan said: "Whether there is an ambush will be known soon, I have already sent people to the front to find out."

Gan Qingwu Ba Tan had already sent Yi Ding to the front to spy. If there were Jiannu ambush in front, it would be impossible to escape Yi Ding's eyes.

"It doesn't matter anymore."

"It doesn't matter whether there are slaves in ambush ahead."

Hu Guozhu waved his hand, and ordered the soldiers of the cavalry battalion to harvest Jiannu heads on the road.

The heads of Jiannu are not just heads, but white silver. A head is 50 taels. Yes, it has been changed to silver dollars now. A head is worth 50 silver dollars.

The cavalry battalion harvested the heads of the slaves and walked back all the way.

By the time they returned to the battlefield near Guting Town, more than 5000 heads had been harvested.

This is how wars are fought. To be more precise, most wars in the cold weapon era are like this. When the two sides fight, not many people actually die. The time when there are real large-scale casualties is after one side is defeated.

And if the chasing party still has a large number of cavalry, the defeated party may even be completely wiped out.

Why was the ancient farming civilization afraid of nomadic civilization?It is because once defeated, it is basically wiped out.

Even if the nomadic civilization is defeated, it can escape with the speed of the horse, and the infantry can't catch up with the cavalry at all.

Before Du Yinxi's infantry battalion arrived, although the cavalry battalion withstood Jiannu's many attacks by virtue of the hollow phalanx, the number of kills in several battles added up may not be as many as in the pursuit.

Don't look at the cavalry battalion that killed many slave cavalry before, but most of them shot and killed war horses.

At this time, Yebushou sent by Yiding came back one after another and reported to Wu Batan that Jiannu ambushes were indeed found near the entrance of the cave in the north, and there were tens of thousands of cavalry.

"How? Believe it now." Wu Batan said with a smile.

"Really?" Hu Guozhu couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat.

"If it hadn't been for the timely decree from the Holy Majesty, this time it would have turned victory into defeat!"

"Well now, your cavalry battalion has won an unprecedented victory."

Hu Guozhu also laughed when he heard the words, this time it was really an unprecedented victory.

At present, Hu Guozhu took his subordinates, Prince Qin and his sons, to the front of the Emperor Chongzhen on horseback.

Chongzhen and his son looked closely, and saw that Hu Guozhu and dozens of Prince Qin's sons were carrying a lot of arrow stubbles. Although the arrow shafts were cut off, the arrowheads could not be taken out because they were embedded in the gaps in the armor. …

Among them, Hu Guozhu has the most arrow stubble, densely packed.

"Hu Qing, don't move." Chongzhen waved his hand and said, "Let me count how many arrows you have shot in your body?"

Hu Guozhu really stood still and didn't dare to move. Chongzhen really counted the arrow stubble on Hu Guozhu's mountain armor, and there were as many as 34 arrows!
One person hit 34 light arrows, which shows how fierce the battle was.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that Hu Guozhu's Shanwenjia is too eye-catching.

Several waves of Jiannu cavalry regarded Hu Guozhu as the main target that needed to be shot first.

Du Yinxi was deeply shocked by the dead bodies of men and horses outside the hollow phalanx of the cavalry battalion.

"My lord, how many slave cavalry did you kill?" Du Yinxi asked Chongzhen in disbelief, "Five thousand cavalry? Ten thousand cavalry? Or twenty thousand cavalry?"

Chongzhen asked Hu Guozhu with a smile: "Hu Qing, Du Qing asked you."

"If there is Master Du in Huisheng, [-] is not enough, but [-] is a lot more, but most of the kills are war horses, and the number of slaves is not many."

"Not as many kills as we were chasing."

Hu Guozhu's tone also reveals an unconcealable pride.

After such a big victory, it is impossible to be complacent.

Not to mention since the present dynasty, even if we search through the history of China for thousands of years, I am afraid that we cannot find a battle that can be compared with today's battle of Guting Town.

In the battle of Guting Town, how many troops did Jiannu devote in total?
According to Hu Guozhu's estimate, there are as many as [-] to [-] at least, and they are all cavalry.

And how many cavalry battalions did the Ming army have?But with eight thousand horses, Jiannu has eight times as many troops as them!
The strength of Jiannu cavalry is more than eight times that of their cavalry battalion. The key point is that their cavalry battalion was ambushed by Jiannu, which is a hasty confrontation, while Jiannu is a well-designed ambush.

Therefore, based on this battle alone, his name Hu Guozhu can be recorded in the annals of China's history.

Thinking that he can also be famous in history, Hu Guozhu couldn't help but feel excited. After all, he is only in his early 20s this year, which is the age of enthusiasm.

"What, your cavalry battalion actually killed more than 1 slave cavalry?"

Zhu Cijiong also looked envious at this moment, deeply hating himself for not being able to participate in this battle.

"My God, killed more than 1 cavalry?" Du Yinxi was also shocked.

Chongzhen was also very surprised by this. To be honest, he thought that the cavalry battalion would not suffer a loss, and even win a battle, but he really didn't expect to win a big battle!

It seems that Duduo is more stubborn than he imagined.

Otherwise, it is absolutely impossible for the cavalry battalion to achieve such great results.

However, Duoduo will never know, how did he lose this time?

The cleaning of the battlefield continued until late at night, and at midnight, the results of the battle were finally counted.

Du Yinxi, who was in charge of cleaning the battlefield, still couldn't hide the surprise between his brows: "My lord, the number of enemies killed by the cavalry battalion has been counted. There are more than 600 horses shot and killed, and Jiannu killed There were more than 9000 people, counting Hu Junmen's kills during the pursuit, a total of [-] Jiannu were killed!"

"My lord, there are at least 2000 people inside who were killed or injured by the infantry and tiger squatting guns."

Although Hu Guozhu is young, he has followed Hu Xinshui since he was a child, and knows a little about the officialdom, so he doesn't intend to monopolize the military exploits.

What's more, with such a great military exploit this time,
Hu Guozhu also didn't mind sharing some with his colleagues.

But with Du Yinxi's temper, how could it be possible to fight for the credit that belongs to Hu Guozhu?
