Chongzhen Daming: Starting from Coal Mountain

Chapter 74 Victory in the First Battle
I have to say that Oboi's battlefield reading ability is really good.

The cavalry of the Ming army had just broken through Baoyi, and Obai foresaw that today's battle was impossible to win, so he decisively prepared to withdraw from the battlefield and join the turning Baoyi.

The infantry of the Ming army on the battlefield naturally refused to give up.

Immediately launched a more violent attack on Jiannu, trying to entangle Jiannu.

At this moment, Oboi once again showed his courage and determination, decisively leaving ten Yabala soldiers behind, leading a Niulu's Eight Banners soldiers with the Yellow Banner to cover the main force to leave.

Relying on Oboi's decision, the main force of building slaves quickly left the main battlefield.

The price paid was that the Jiannu who were cut off were encircled by the Ming army.

The cavalry of the Ming army who arrived later tried to attack the main force of the Eight Banners of Oboi, but found that the retreating Jiannu retreated without chaos, and even turned back and fired arrows while retreating.

Especially the dozens of white armor soldiers who were left behind.

It also posed a great threat to the Ming cavalry who followed and chased them down.

A Yi Ding broke away from the brigade and launched an attack brazenly, but was shot and killed by the white armored soldiers who fell behind.

These Jian slaves not only have excellent archery skills, but also have rich combat experience, because most of the Yi Ding wear straight armor, and heavy arrows may not be able to shoot through them in one shot, let alone hit the vital points.

But shooting horses is different. The target of war horses is much larger.

Moreover, the war horse is not protected by armor, so it is easy to shoot and kill.

After several trials, the cavalry of the Ming army realized that the cost of forcibly attacking the Jiannu infantry was too high, so they gave up decisively, and turned around to join the siege of Jiannu who was in charge of breaking the rear.

The main force of building slaves was able to meet Baoyi smoothly.

"Zha Liangnian!" Yabran galloped over.

"Master, the slave is here." Cha Liangnian rode forward to meet him.

Yabran directly ordered: "Give your horse to Lord Oboi!"

"Hey!" Facing Yabran's order, Cha Liangnian dared not refuse.

He got off his horse and led the horse to Aobai who was shooting arrows.

Aobai was the last one to retreat. Just now he personally led more than forty white armored soldiers to stop the Ming cavalry who were trying to kill them with a strong bow.

"My lord, fight back!"

Jabran snapped an arrow to the string.

"There is no chance." Obai sighed, feeling a little helpless, "The Ming army's chariot camp has arrived."

Yabran and the other Jiannu took a closer look, and sure enough, they saw that the Ming Army's car battalion, which was originally behind, had caught up, and the barrier of the van had been opened, and the muzzle of the black hole had been aimed at this side.

Not only the Ming Army's chariot battalion, but also the vans of the Han Army in the Zhenghuang Banner have been snatched by the Ming Army's infantry.

The infantrymen of the Ming army who had freed up their hands were pushing the van loaded with the Franco cannon to this side, and also pointed the muzzle of the black hole at them. If the Eight Banners soldiers counterattacked at this time, they would hit the Ming army's head on the muzzle.

It is useless to attack in a roundabout way, because the Ming army also has cavalry to protect the two wings, and the chariot battalion can turn around calmly.

At this point, the initiative on the battlefield has completely fallen into the hands of the Ming army, and Jiannu has nothing to do with the Ming army.

"I said that the Eight Banners Han army is unreliable, and the former Ming army is even more unreliable." Yabran said through gritted teeth, "As expected."

"It can't be their fault. I was careless this time. Pass the order and withdraw!" Obai was still very clear-headed, knowing that if he continued to waste today, he would suffer even more.

"My lord, you can't withdraw!"

"There's another Niu Lu who hasn't come back yet!"

"Yeah, go back and get Lao Ha and the others out!"

Yabran and dozens of white-armored soldiers became anxious when they heard this.

How long has it been since they suffered such a loss?

"Are you deaf? Get out quickly!" Obai was furious.

Amidst the low sound of horns, the Eight Banners soldiers finally turned and retreated.

……

"Retreat without chaotic, defeated without collapsing, Jiannu is indeed an elite!"

"It's only a field battle with a scale of a thousand people. If you don't expect it, you can fight a dozen."

"If this is a large-scale field battle with tens of thousands of people, it is purely giving away heads."

Chongzhen put away the binoculars, and led Zhu Cihong and Zhu Cijiong, under the protection of Wu Batan's Baiyiding, slowly walked towards the battlefield ahead.

"Father, is it really impossible to win a large-scale field battle?"

"I really can't beat it. Jiannu is better than my Ming Dynasty in terms of organization, training, quality of soldiers, weapons and equipment, or logistics support, at least at this stage."

"Is there no way? Will it always be like this?"

"Of course not. There are still ways, but it can't be done now."

Hearing Chongzhen say that Daming still has a chance, Zhu Cihong and Zhu Cijiong's younger brother cheered up.

"I knew my father would have a solution." Zhu Cijiong rode his horse and took a few steps to catch up with Chongzhen, and cast a first-class admiring look at Chongzhen.

These two brothers have not been with Chongzhen for long.

However, he is familiar with Chongzhen's deeds since the collapse of Beijing, because the eunuchs, Yi Ding, and several nobles who followed Chongzhen would keep telling them about this.

The two younger brothers are full of infinite admiration for their father.

While speaking, a group of people have come to the edge of the battlefield.

At this time, the remaining Jiannu were basically beheaded.

There are only a dozen or so Jiannu still fighting in the chaos.

It's just that these dozen or so Jiannu are really tough, not only physically strong, but also physically strong. Wearing such heavy armor on their bodies, they have not been exhausted after fighting until now.

"Ba Yala soldiers!" Uba Tan said, "The guards of the slave chiefs!"

"White armored soldiers? It's no wonder, after all, they are one-in-a-million warriors."

"It's a little bit stronger than our three thousand barbarians, and it's even worse than us in a simple competition of riding and shooting." Wu Batan's tone was obviously dissatisfied.

Chongzhen just smiled when he heard the words.

It is good to have this competitive spirit.

This person is afraid of lying flat, afraid of not being competitive.

After a while, the entire battlefield gradually returned to calm.

The dozen or so white-armored soldiers who built slaves were finally stabbed to death. After a half-day siege, the Ming army finally found a weakness, and stabbed the white-armored soldiers in the face with spears continuously, smashing their heads.

When the last white armored soldier fell with screams,

The entire battlefield fell into deathly silence at first.

In the dead silence, I don't know which Ming army yelled first: "Win!"
Immediately, the soldiers of the Ming army who fought to the death for the rest of their lives roared loudly: We won, we won!

Many soldiers of the Ming army screamed, and tears filled their eyes before they knew it. How many years had the Ming army not defeated Jiannu?In their memory, even a small-scale skirmish has not been won for a long time.

But today, the Ming army finally won Jiannu again, and finally won again!
One Ming soldier even wailed loudly, it was too difficult, not easy!
However, most of the Ming soldiers hugged each other and cheered hysterically.

The cheers of the soldiers of the Ming army finally converged into one voice: Great Ming wins!

Chongzhen was also infected by the emotions of the soldiers, and he couldn't help shouting loudly, and the two brothers Zhu Cihong and Zhu Cijiong also blushed.

……

The Eight Banners soldiers of the Bordered Yellow Banner had already retreated several miles away.

However, even after miles away, the huge cheers from the direction of Anshan Town could still be faintly heard.

With his toes, he could guess that the Niu Lu that was left behind must have been eaten by the Ming army. Thinking of this, Oboi's face showed many complex emotions such as annoyance, remorse, and resentment.

"Master Aobai." Gaodi came to Aobai in panic.

Behind Gao Di, there are more than [-] surrendered troops under Gao Di's command.

The number of casualties among Gaudí's [-] surrendered troops was actually not large, that is, more than [-] died when they lined up to be shot, and not many died when they fled later.

A total of more than [-] people were lost.

There are still more than [-] collected.

But when Aobai saw Gaodi, he was not angry at all.

Today's defeat, his Oboi's underestimation of the enemy is certainly the main reason, but Gao Di's surrender army collapsed at the first touch, it is also an inescapable crime, and must be severely punished.

Oboi immediately drew out his whip,

According to Gaodi, he slapped his head and covered his face.

Zu Zerun watched from the side, but didn't stop him.

Because he knew that Oboi was in a fit of anger, and if he stepped forward to stop him at this time, he would attract Oboi's firepower to him, so he wouldn't be so stupid as to touch this bad luck.

……

On the other side, the Ming army has regained its composure.

"My lord!" Huang Degong hurried to Chongzhen.

"Uncle Jingnan, congratulations, you have won a big victory!"

"I am ashamed. If the Holy Majesty hadn't personally led a thousand barbarians to rush to rescue in time, I would have given this old bone and more than [-] soldiers under his command to Anshan Town."

"Long live, long live!"

While he was talking, he ran over high and low.

Chongzhen was stunned, the eunuch Gao Qiqian is not dead yet?It's been two times, still not dead?

"Long live God, the blessings are equal to the sky. This old slave is only a little bit of your blessing. On the battlefield, there are swords and guns. Just now, a Jiannu shot the old slave with an arrow at a distance of ten steps and failed to hit the old slave."

Chongzhen casually took out a silver key and threw it to Gao Qiqian: "This is your reward."

"Thank you, Long Live." Gao Qiqian took Yin Kezi and opened his palm happily, then his expression collapsed.

No, long live, are you mistaken?The old slave has made such a great contribution, you just reward one tael of silver?When the old slave was supervising the army in Jinzhou, Ningyuan, how could he not earn a few thousand taels in battle?
Chongzhen ignored Gao Qiqian, and said to Huang Degong: "Although I, Ming, won the victory this time, the casualties of building slaves were actually not great, and I'm sure that the people who came to Shandong this time were not just building slaves all the way. , if there is no accident, Jianu will definitely launch the craziest revenge, so we have to evacuate here quickly."

Huang Degong said in astonishment: "Your Majesty, are you not going to rescue Linqing?"

"I won't go." Chongzhen said, "I don't want Dongchang Mansion and Yanzhou Mansion."

The Beijing-Hangzhou Canal passes through Dongchang Mansion and Yanzhou Mansion, and the army of slaves can advance along the canal, so these two mansions will definitely not be able to hold. Wouldn't it be better for the Huanghuai line of defense to directly block Jiannu in Shandong?But this is obviously not realistic.
