Jierhalang, Haoge, Azig and others learned that Liu Yan led the new army in Qinglai Town to launch a large-scale attack. Not only did they quickly stop the wave of rout in Jizhou Town, but their cavalry also annihilated hundreds of soldiers. The elite Baya soldiers with the white flag made Azig cursed, but there was nothing he could do.
Everyone was immediately nervous. Thousands of cavalry mixed in with the defeated troops in Jizhou Town were out of formation at this time. When they encountered Liu Yan's new army, they were just delivering food!
So Jierhalang and others sent out fast horses one after another, preparing to order the thousands of cavalry in front to withdraw, and they must not make the same mistake again.
Fortunately, Jierhalang, Hauge and others' expressions relaxed a little later, and they saw the Qing army's banner cavalry running back like a tide. At least most of the soldiers and horses quickly left the battlefield.
However, Jierhalang, Hauge and others also discussed for a while. Liu Yan had already led tens of thousands of new troops to fight. It would not take long for his tens of thousands of troops to arrive here. At this time, they would besiege Wu Sangui's chariot formation. It was meaningless, so amidst the sharp sound of gongs, the Qing cavalry retreated like a tide, leaving only a mess and a large number of corpses around Wu Sangui's troops.
In the Qing army's formation, under several gold-weaved dragon blankets, Jierhalang, Haoge, Azig and others looked forward and heard the continuous sound of gunfire over there, mixed with the sound of some artillery. , it seemed that Liu Yanzheng was commanding his troops to kill the Qing cavalry who fell behind, leaving Jierhalang, Hauge and others gritting their teeth, but there was nothing they could do.
Two or three miles ahead, a large number of soldiers from the Qinglai Town New Army Cavalry Battalion galloped towards them. Under the leadership of the capital commander Xu Ming, as well as commanders Dong Yun, Du Zhongming, Lu Yuan and others, they Quickly occupy some rolling hilly high ground on the right. Immediately afterwards, more and more Ming battle flags were tumbling, and many battle flags gathered together. Below were the flaming red armor and flaming red temples. It seemed that the whole world was a flaming red color.
Finally, amidst the roar of "Wansheng", a huge battle flag appeared in front of Jierhalang, Hauge and others. Then a large number of tanks were pushed out. After the numerous tanks, one after another strict infantry phalanx appeared within the sight of the Qing army, shocking everyone in the Qing army's formation.
Seeing the scene in the distance, Jierhalang's heart became solemn. He had fought against Liu Yan in Julu, and the New Army at that time was extraordinary. Now that Liu Yan's power has grown rapidly, with tens of thousands of strong troops, this opponent has become more and more difficult to deal with. We need to be cautious in today's battle, otherwise we will lose our troops and generals.
Among the Eight Banners Mongolian generals, the faces of Zhen Engetu, who was wearing a red flag, Gushan'e, and Zhenbu Yandai, who was wearing a red flag, Gushan'e, looked a little unnatural. Naturally, they thought of the tragic experiences in the past, and they became nervous in their hearts. They were so miserable back then. The experience they had experienced was still fresh in their minds, and today they had to fight against Liu Yan's men again, which made them feel uneasy.
Among the crowd, only Hauge and Azig still looked arrogant and disapproving of the arrival of the new army cavalry battalion from Qinglai Town.
Neither of these two men had fought against Liu Yan's men, although they both admitted that the new army in Qinglai Town was extraordinary and not comparable to the ordinary Ming army. But they were even more confident in their cavalry, especially when they had just killed Bai Guangen not long ago.
Hauge even boasted that Liu Yan was just another Bai Guangen. As long as all the banners concentrated their forces to fight against him, they could defeat Liu Yan's new army and defeat him!
Jierhalang looked at the arrogant Haug and couldn't help but frown slightly, sighing in his heart.
At this moment, there was a commotion in front of the Qing army's formation. Jierhalang and others hurriedly looked around and saw a group of Ye Bushou from the Qinglai Town New Army appearing in front of the army formation. Behind their horses, all Dragging some half-dead Qing prisoners with ropes.
The new troops stayed up all night and laughed wildly, just roaring and running around their own positions, while the Qing soldiers dragged by their horses all let out miserable wails.
Seeing this, all the Qing soldiers and horses in the military formation were shocked and angry. For a time, tens of thousands of Qing army cavalry were in high spirits just now, but now they were silent, either angry or shocked. Among them Some Qing soldiers who had participated in the battles of Julu and Jinan showed fear.
Suddenly, there was a lot of noise in the Qing army formation, because tall carts were pushed out in front of the chariots of the new army battalions in Qinglai Town.
There was a pole erected on those carts, and a Bajara soldier or officer was tied to each pole. Some of the Tatars were dead, and some were still alive, but they were half dead.
"It's Baya Lajia Lazhangjing of Zhengbai Banner."
"It's Enhai. He was captured by the Ming army! No, he is already dead. The damn Ming army treated the warrior's body like this!"
At this time, Jierhalang's face was extremely ugly, and Hauge and Azig were even more furious and furious.
Azig, in particular, had almost lost his mind at this time. Most of the hundreds of Baya soldiers annihilated by the New Army cavalry battalion were men and horses with a white flag. Regardless of the victory or defeat in this battle, Manchuria with a white flag was already considered disabled. It made Azig very sad.
At this time, Azig shouted almost like crazy: "Prince Zheng, I will lead the warriors with white flags to attack, and I will definitely recapture the captured warriors under my flag!"
The other generals of various banners were also excited, but Jierhalang's face turned cold, and then he shouted to everyone: "No one can act rashly without my order!"
Ji'erharang looked at the angry Hauge, Azig and others, and continued: "Liu Yan is deliberately irritating us and making us lose our minds, so that we will fail! What you have to do now is not to rashly raise troops to fight desperately. , but to find a way to see how to defeat Liu Yan and win this battle!"
However, Hauge, Azige and others have completely lost their minds. It has always been the Qing cavalry that abused the Han people. How could it have been the Han people's turn to be so rampant? Everyone yelled that they were about to lead their troops to attack. Just when Jierhalang was about to be unable to suppress them, a group of cavalry came rolling in from behind.
Ji'erharang, Hauge, Azig and others looked around one after another and saw that the person coming was none other than Ying'erdai, Chengzheng of the Ministry of Household Affairs, and there were actually several Garbushexian warriors following him.
These Garbushexian warriors are equivalent to Huang Taiji's Royal Forest Army. They are the predecessors of the forward battalions of the Qing Dynasty in later generations, and are more elite than the Bagala of the Qing Dynasty. They all have flying feathers on their helmets, two-foot flying tiger square flags on their backs, and fox tails on their poles. They are all brave men and women!
At this time, Ying'erdai galloped forward, looked at the people, and shouted from the horse: "The emperor has decreed that all banners and armies are not allowed to fight casually with Liu Yan's tribe. It is necessary to be cautious and test. If you dare to act rashly, you will lose your troops and generals." Whoever, kill!"
Regarding the situation east of Huangtu Ridge, Huang Taiji on Rufeng Mountain, Dorgon and others on Huangtu Ridge all had telescopes, and they were condescending, so they could clearly see the general layout of the Ming army.
As soon as Liu Yan led the new army battalions in Qinglai Town to dispatch, Huang Taiji always paid attention to the movements here.
Huang Taiji already knew the general combat strength of the various units of the Ming Army. Only the new army battalions in Qinglai Town still needed to think carefully. After all, Liu Yan had several previous achievements, and Huang Taiji could not be treated with caution.
After thinking about it, Huang Taiji found that among the banner generals on the east side, only Jierhalang was considered prudent. However, Hauge and Azig were unruly. Huang Taiji was afraid that Jierhalang would not be able to overwhelm him, so he sent Ying Erdai Come to supervise the formation. Sure enough, Ying'erdai arrived just in time. If he were one step later, Azig and others would have attacked without permission.
Ying'erdai was the imperial envoy, and with him present to support Jierhalang, Hauge and Azig could not say anything more, so they could only snort and hold their temper for the time being.
Just when the Qing army began to discuss countermeasures, Liu Yan rode his horse to a hill. The battalions of the new army in Qinglai Town had already advanced here. They were only two or three miles away from the Qing army's formation. Liu Yan immediately ordered the battalions to Stop advancing, reorganize the military formation on the spot, and wait for the Qing army's movements.
At this time, Liu Yan looked at the sun above his head, and saw that the sun was getting bigger at noon. Wearing this thick armor, he felt extremely hot under the hot sunshine, and his throat was about to smoke.
The water in the coconut ladle on the saddle has been replenished several times. Every time the peasants brought clear water from behind, Liu Yan wanted to drink all the water in the pot. The people were fine, but the war horses were extremely uncomfortable under the scorching sun. The horses snorted under their crotches and were wet with sweat every time they touched them. Liu Yan couldn't help but frown slightly: "After this battle, the army doesn't know what to do." How many horses have been lost!"
Liu Yan recovered his thoughts for a moment, raised his telescope and looked at the Qing army formation in the distance. He saw a sea of flags, and the armor of the Tatars of each banner was in order. They were indeed a strong army at this time.
However, although there were loud noises from the Qing army formation, no one attacked.
Liu Yan couldn't help but be surprised and said to himself: "These dog Tatars can really endure it!"
At this time, the military formations on both sides were very calm, and all the Qing cavalry that besieged Wu Sangui's carriage camp had retreated.
Liu Yan looked at the Qing army's formation in the distance. He ordered his soldiers to place the Tatar prisoners and corpses in front of the formation. After such humiliation, the Tatars were unmoved. It seemed that if they met their opponents, the future war would be fierce. Got to be tough.
Beside Liu Yan, the supervisor Zhang Ruoqi looked happy. The cavalry battalion and other battalions had just sent battle reports. The new army in Qinglai Town contained the defeated troops along the way, while defeating the Qing cavalry, and beheaded five people. Level 117, this is an extremely rare victory in other military towns.
But for the new army in Qinglai Town, such victories have become commonplace. Compared with the great achievements of the new army's soldiers in the past, these more than 500 heads are nothing.
Zhang Ruoqi smiled and complimented Liu Yan a lot, saying a lot of things like winning the first battle, winning the first battle, etc., and Liu Yan responded humbly.
At this moment, a cavalry team came from a distance, and the flag turned out to be Wu Sangui.
Wu Sangui settled his cavalry on the right side of the New Army's cavalry camp in Qinglai Town, and then rushed to the Chinese army to pay homage to Liu Yan. After all, Liu Yan came to help him, and Wu Sangui should come to thank him both emotionally and rationally.
Everyone chatted for a while, and Wu Sangui saw that the supervisor Zhang Ruoqi was also there, so he reported that he had resisted the Qing army's attack, beheaded 298 people, and captured many. Zhang Ruoqi also looked happy and praised Wu Sangui.
However, when Wu Sangui heard that Liu Yan's men had beheaded more than five hundred people, he bit his lower lip. The gap between himself and Liu Yan was really huge.
Liu Yan looked at Wu Sangui's expression and naturally knew what he was thinking, so he smiled and divided the more than 500 beheaded heads into pieces, giving sixty to Wu Sangui, and even Zhang Ruoqi had five.
Now that the new army in Qinglai Town has strong combat power, it is very easy to capture the heads of the Qing army, so it is not very important to capture the heads. It is better to use some to win over people's hearts, so that they can get some benefits in the Battle of Jinzhou. and convenience.
Zhang Ruoqi said in surprise: "Me too?"
Wu Sangui also had mixed feelings when he heard this, but he had to admit that Liu Yan had a broad mind and was a rare hero today.
Then the smile on Liu Yan's face stopped and he said to everyone: "Now that the main force of slave thieves is still there, let's discuss how to defeat the current enemy."
Some people died, but not completely...
