A small soldier of the frontier army in the late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 506
"it is good!"

Wang Dou paid special attention to the situation on Azig's side. Through the binoculars, he suddenly saw that there was chaos there, and countless Qing troops roared and howled, especially the golden dragon banner on the Zhengbai flag fell down. He clenched his fists and said happily. : "Azig is dead, killed by our division's artillery!"

Zhang Ruoqi, the supervisor, was also stunned: "...Azig is really dead? Killed one of their county kings? This, bombarding the slave chiefs, is like the great victory of Ningyuan back then!"

Fu Yingchong, the deputy general of the former Shenji Battalion, also opened his eyes extremely wide, and killed their Wuying County King with a single shot?This credit is too great.

As the news spread, the cheers of the Ming army were overwhelming, and everyone shouted: "Azig is dead, Azige is dead!"

"what?"

Hong Chengchou of the Chinese army quickly got the news. He couldn't believe his ears: "Uncle Zhongyong and the others shot and killed Azig, the king of Wuying County in Dongnu with artillery?"

Overseer Wang Chengen tremblingly said: "Is this really true? Is Azig really dead?"

Yang Guozhu and others at the bottom of the Huangtu Ridge also stood there for a long time in disbelief when they heard the news.

Amidst the cheers, Wang Dou ordered: "All cavalry troops attack!"

"No!"

In the large formation of the Qing army in the rear, both Jierharang and Haoge saw that the rear of Azig's cavalry suffered heavy losses under the artillery attack of the Jingbian army.

What made their eyes tear apart was that King Wuying's golden dragon banner fell down, and the Ba Yala over there were in chaos. It seemed that Azig was in danger under the artillery of the Ming army.

Then, the shocking news came that the King of Wuying County of the Qing Dynasty was bombarded to death by Ming army artillery on the spot. The Qing army cavalry on the front line were crying, while the Ming army was cheering.What's even more frightening is that the remaining cavalry of the Ming army rolled out to attack. Even Wu Sangui's chariot camp had more than a thousand cavalry. Under the leadership of Zu Dale, they came out to take advantage of it.

Jierhalang no longer had the calmness of the past, and roared angrily: "Ming Jin withdraws troops, let all the warriors on the front line withdraw! The Xianglan Banner and Zhenglan Banner stay behind to respond, and the Ming army must not be charged up!"

Looking at the chaotic situation ahead, Hauge no longer had the arrogance of the past, his face was pale, and he murmured: "How could this be?"

The cries of the Qing army and the cheers of the Ming army also faintly spread to the ears of Dorgon, Duoduo, Jin Zidian, Shi Tingzhu and others on Huangtuling. They couldn't believe it either.

Duoduo shouted: "Brother is dead? This is impossible!"

Although he and Dorgon, and Azige have a bad relationship on weekdays, but Azige is also his brother, and when he suddenly heard the news of Azige's death, Doduo couldn't help but roar and lose his composure.

Shi Tingzhu, Liu Zhiyuan, Zu Zerun, Wu Shoujin and other Han army banner Gushan Ezhen looked at each other in blank dismay. They never imagined that the king of Wuying County was brave and brave, and he was undefeated throughout the Ming Dynasty. He was suddenly killed by artillery fire of?This... this cannon of the Ming army...

There were also rumors back then that the great ancestor of the Qing Dynasty was also killed by the Hongyi artillery of the Ming army. Although the old man was too strong, he survived for several months before he died, and he went to beat the Mongols on the way.

but……

For a while, they were afraid of the artillery of the Ming army, especially the artillery of the Jingbian army.

Jin Zi's eyeballs also turned Gulu, thinking: "I thought that Hu Qingqi shot the world's unparalleled, but it seems that he is not as good in front of the Jingbian army's guns. As soon as this battle started, one of our side was killed. My lord, the prospect of the battle in Jinzhou is not optimistic."

Dorgon's face turned blue, he clenched his fists tightly, didn't say a word, and didn't know what he was thinking.

Huang Taiji of Rufeng Mountain City suddenly paled after hearing the news, watching the tide-like Qingqi on Pingchuan recede, the joy of defeating Jizhen army and beheading Bai Guangen was gone.

The benefactors beside him were also trembling, unable to accept the reality.

After a long time, Huang Taiji said gloomyly: "Kong Shun and the others, where did the artillery arrive?"

Kabushixian Garayi Angbangnu said: "Going back to the emperor, King Gongshun's artillery army was intercepted by Wang Pu, the commander-in-chief of the Ming Dynasty, before they reached the Loess North Ridge. They want to reach Prince Zheng and Prince Su, and they may not arrive until tomorrow."

Huang Taiji sighed for a long time, the plan can't keep up with the changes!
According to the strategy of the Qing monarchs and ministers, they deployed heavy troops on Rufeng Mountain and other places, and waited for the Ming army going to Jinzhou to get into the trap. Unexpectedly, the Ming army did not attack Rufeng Mountain, but first attacked Huangtu Ridge and Songshan Ridge, which disrupted Huang Taiji's arrangement. .

The sudden dispatch of Wang Doujing's frontier army also caught him off guard, but Huang Taiji, who had experienced battles, immediately reacted, and immediately ordered Kong Youde to go to the west of Songshan Fort.Gather Shang Kexi, Ma Guangyuan, Geng Zhongming and others who were attacking the Ma Ke department there, and lead the Han army's artillery troops to Jierhalang and other places to support.

The artillery formation on Huangtuling was handed over to the Han army's Zhengbai Banner Gushan Ezhen Shi Tingzhu to command. If the artillery was still on the way, the iron cavalry attacking the Jingbian army's formation was defeated.

However, Azig's death can't be blamed on Jierhalang. If they don't attack in time and sit back and watch the Ming army dig a trench and cut off the connection between Songshanling and Huangtuling, they will defeat the Jizhen army and kill Bai Guangen What is the significance of the victory?
Not to mention retreating after seeing the Jingbian army, otherwise the two armies will confront each other and flee without fighting, which will greatly damage the morale of the entire army.If this is the case, the whole army will run away when they see the flag of the Jingbian Army in the future.

It's just that things don't go as planned, the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, Wang Dou won't wait for everything to be in place before he acts.

And after this battle, Huang Taiji had a deeper understanding of the strength of the Jingbian army, and it was even more difficult than before.

Fortunately, after testing, the Ming army in other divisions, except Yang Guozhu's division, is still easy to deal with.Of course, Wang Pu, Wang Tingchen, Cao Bianjiao, Wu Sangui and others in the Ming army need to be taken seriously.

Liu Zhaoji, Li Fuming, and Zuo Guang started a few films, which are a little more difficult to deal with.As for Ma Ke, Tang Tong, and Fu Yingchong, like Bai Guangen, they are all vulnerable. For these, they can be defeated one by one in the future.

Huang Taiji thought again: "Perhaps the strategy of using ditches and walls to consume the strength of the Ming army is wrong. The iron cavalry of the Qing Dynasty still needs to be concentrated in field battles. The artillery troops of the Han army should also be concentrated to deal with Wang Dou's troops. Jingbian Army!"

Sticking to the walls of the trenches led to the dispersion of firepower. The artillery of the Han army flag stood on top of the artillery formations on the mountains, and it was difficult to move in the field. They could not play their due role, which made Huang Taiji secretly regret it.

In particular, according to Huang Taiji's original judgment, the Ming army's main attack direction was on Rufeng Mountain, and many artillery pieces were still concentrated there. If the Ming army did not attack Rufeng Mountain, all my painstaking efforts would be in vain.

After pondering for a long time, Huang Taiji ordered that all Qing troops in Songshanling be withdrawn.

He could see clearly that for the Ming army, Songshan Ridge was not far from Songshan Fort, lying on the side, how could they allow others to sleep soundly?
They will not let a nail lie on the side, and they will definitely attack it.Especially at this time when Jierhalang and others fail, the connection between Songshanling and Huangtuling will soon be cut off, and Haoge and others in Songshanling will become alone, which is really dangerous.

Immediately after this order, he decreed: "Let Dorgon and others in Huangtuling withdraw as well."

Without the echo of Songshan Ridge, what is the significance of the layout of Huangtu Ridge?It is better to concentrate our forces and fight the Ming army in the field.

There was a cold light in his eyes: "My cavalry of the Qing Dynasty is helpless against the Jingbian army. Could it be that I can't deal with other Ming troops? Let's deal with them first."

……

Amidst the sharp sound of the Qing army's golden sound, whether it was the Qing cavalry attacking the infantry of the Jingbian army, the Qing cavalry attacking the left-wing Shenji battalion, or the Qing cavalry fighting with the Jingbian army and other cavalry, they all retreated like a tide.

However, Qingqi, who was fighting with Jingbian army cavalry, was not so happy to leave. Even Jingbian army cavalry and Wu Sangui's Ningyuan cavalry had nearly [-] people.It was Jierhalang, Hauge and others' reserve troops who responded, and Wang Dou ordered his own cavalry to withdraw.

The Qing soldiers retreated again and again, and they didn't stop until they were five or six miles away from the Jingbian army formation.Seeing their distressed appearance, the Ming army's positions, whether it was the Jingbian Army, Shenji Battalion, Wu Sangui's army, or Guo Yingxian and others, were all cheering and laughing.

My family won, the Tartars were defeated, and one of their princes was beheaded. This is an unprecedented victory.

It's a pity that although Azig was killed, his body was not captured. The Tartar cavalry behind ran too fast.

But even so, it is certain to kill a member of the slave chieftain, and the results of this battle are also very rich.

Amidst the cheers, Wang Dou, Zhang Ruoqi and others all laughed. Wang Dou ordered to count the results of the battle, stepped up to rescue the wounded, and led the generals to patrol the army formation.

Among the car formations, there were scattered corpses and wounded soldiers of Qing soldiers from various banners. Under the hot sun, the unpleasant smell of blood came oncoming, and the groans of all kinds of dying and struggling people continued.The strong smell of gunpowder and sulfur seems to have not dissipated, and it is really disgusting to smell it together with the smell of blood.

In particular, the guns of the Jingbian army were sharp, and most of the Tartars captured had their internal organs leaked out. The shotgun shells of Fran's machine guns, and the men and horses captured at close range, even smashed their bodies to pieces.There are pools of rotten flesh and limbs in the car formation, as well as various large intestines and small intestines, plus the blood flow like a small river, everyone stepped on it, it was slippery, it was really disgusting.

Zhang Ruoqi and Fu Yingchong were in high spirits at first, but gradually turned pale. Everything in front of them had too much impact on them.

Especially Zhang Ruoqi, who used to be a talker, how many times has he witnessed the cruelty of the battlefield with his own eyes?
Looking at the densely packed human and horse corpses in front of him, all kinds of messy stumps and intestines, the thick pool of blood overflowing the hollows of his feet, and the pungent smell, he couldn't bear it anymore, his stomach churned, wow Vomit.

Wang Dou looked normal, he didn't need Jingbian army to clean up the battlefield, he had Shenji Battalion sergeants, Wu Sangui's Ningyuan army did it for him.He has already made an agreement with everyone, no matter how many heads are cut off, he will give a certain amount to everyone.

Needless to say, for the Ming army, the importance of the head is of course, even the pampered soldiers of the Shenji Battalion laughed loudly, wielding a hatchet, and cut off the heads of Qing soldiers one by one amidst laughter.

The surviving wounded soldiers of the Qing army were cut down in the same way, and the Qing army’s weapons and flags scattered all over the place were all collected in one place. The dead and wounded Qing army horses were also carried aside. These are all meat.

In fact, the taste of horse meat is good, just like sauced beef, and the horse intestines are even more delicious. There is a saying that if you eat horse intestines, you will forget your father and mother.Of course, this is a case of good cooking, and a chef is needed, otherwise it will be sour and thick, and it will be difficult to eat.

But in this era, as long as it is meat, no one will dislike it. Didn't Zuo Liangyu's army even eat human flesh?Cao Cao's army also eats human flesh.

So these dead and wounded Tartar horses were carried aside like treasures by the sweeping sergeants, and were disemboweled by the firemen, ready to have a feast at night.

The Qing soldiers fled in a hurry during this battle, and there was no time to take away the corpses of many wounded, so there were still a lot of heads that needed to be chopped off. After their heads were chopped off, their armor and clothing were also stripped off, leaving naked, headless corpses. Then throw it into the deep pit dug by the peasants, sprinkle lime and bury it deep to prevent the breeding of plague.

Zhang Ruoqi vomited countless times. Although his face was pale, he still insisted on staying by Wang Dou's side.

At this time, Wu Sangui, Guo Yingxian, Wang Zheng, Li Yunshu and others came back from the attack, and they also smiled happily, and together with Li Guangheng, Han Chao, and Zhong Xiancai, they were beside Wang Dou and Zhang Ruoqi, beside Wu Sangui, and His great uncle Zu Dale.

Everyone is very anxious and wants to know the final result of the battle.

Finally, the battlefields of all parties were cleaned up, and after appeasing Chi Dacheng to count all the results, he came over to report to Wang Dou and Zhang Ruoqi: "Report to the general, report to the supervising army, our army has beheaded a total of 260 three levels in this battle, and the captured ones are intact." 370 eight horses, 130 mules and horses, and captured dark armor..."

Before he finished speaking, Fu Yingchong shouted happily: "260 level three, including the previous outflanking battle, so our army beheaded a total of 850 level four?"

Guo Yingxian was also overjoyed, and laughed loudly: "They even took away some corpses and wounded of the Tartars. In this way, the Tartars suffered a lot of casualties, good fight!"

Wu Sangui nodded: "The number of beheadings is 850. The number of Tartar soldiers who attacked our formation will not be less than [-]!"

Zu Dale was also sucking in the air. He had been in Liaodong for a long time, and he had very rich experience in dealing with the Qing soldiers. He knew the ferocity of those Tartars and knew how difficult it would be to capture their heads. Unexpectedly, when the Jingbian army came out, the whole army The number of beheadings reached more than 800 levels. What an amazing result?
Thinking of this, he couldn't help looking at Wang Dou with complicated eyes.

Wang Dou smiled slightly, Han Chao, Zhong Xiancai, Zhong Tiaoyang, Zhao Xuan, Li Guangheng and others beside him remained expressionless.This kind of victory can no longer arouse their surprise. It seems that winning a battle and gaining a lot is a matter of course for them.

Only Zhang Ruoqi, the supervising officer, although very happy, was displeased when he saw that the generals interrupted indiscriminately and no one was courting him, he coughed a few times, stopped everyone's chattering, signaled to appease Chi Dacheng, and continued talking.

Chi Dacheng was about to continue talking, but saw the smoke and dust billowing in the back at this moment, but it was Hong Chengchou, the supervisor, and Wang Chengen, the army supervisor. Hearing that the Jingbian army had won a great victory here, they even beheaded Azige, the king of Wuying County of the Tartars. The army couldn't stand it anymore.

They led the Liaodong Governor Qiu Minyang, Zhang Dou, Cai Maode and others hurriedly, accompanied by only a few personal guards.
