The entire eastern and southern parts of the camp were in chaos.
The wind on the grassland in winter was very strong and howling, and the fire took advantage of the wind and burned the tent into a sea of flames.
Huang Taiji stood on the carriage, his heart dripping with blood as he watched. It was not easy to transport these baggage and grain all the way from Shenyang. A lot was burned today.
The art of war emphasizes that eating one load of the enemy is equivalent to saving ten loads of yourself. Because the cost of transportation is too high. Therefore, the food and grass brought are valuable. Unless absolutely necessary, they will not be used easily. In peacetime, they should mainly focus on plundering in war zones.
Compared with these Ming troops, Huang Taiji was not particularly worried. He was confident that the Eight Banners' combat effectiveness far exceeded that of the Ming army. After the fight started, it lost its suddenness. If not defeated at the outset, delaying time will be detrimental to the sneak attacker.
If the generals of the Ming army understood people well, they would know how to close them after they were built. Otherwise, they will be the ones who fail.
Ma Dengyun led his soldiers to charge, rushing left and right. He soon discovered that except for his soldiers and servants who could fight head-on with the two yellow flags, the remaining 17,000 people were only a dozen. I can’t take down four or five people.
Fortunately, before departure, he repeatedly emphasized that the unit must be the general flag and must not be dispersed.
Therefore, although the fighting was chaotic today, the Ming army was still in small groups. Not spread out. Otherwise, it would have been defeated long ago.
Half an hour later, two yellow flags gradually took control of the situation in both south and east directions. It was a stalemate. Madengyun's simple sword has been chopped into pieces, with all the holes in it. They ran into a group of white-toothed soldiers. The young man at the head was very powerful.
He was nearly 1.9 meters tall, wielding a long-handled mace, and knocked four or five servants to the ground with a flip of his hand.
Madengyun's servants are all wearing armor, and they all wear straight body armor. But this guy's physical strength is very strong. When the mace hits someone, flesh and blood will basically fly everywhere, and the armor will be scattered and the blood will be splashed together.
Ma Dengyun was surprised and shouted in Manchu, "***, who are you? Some unknown person who does not kill."
The strong man could speak Chinese, and he roared angrily: "Your grandfather is Obai of Zhenghuang Banner, please listen carefully."
After saying that, he picked up the mace and smashed it over. Ma Dengyun immediately blocked it with his sword with both hands. There was a loud bang, and the all-steel sword was bent directly by the mace.
Obai's big foot kicked Ma Dengyun in the chest.
Madeng Yundendenden stepped back more than ten steps, and suddenly sat on the ground, his hands bleeding from the jaws, and the simple knife fell away.
The soldiers on both sides quickly grabbed Madeng Yun. Hold it and run back.
Madeng Yun vomited blood and his face was like gold paper. Madengyun's ribs were broken and she began to have trouble breathing.
Madeng Yun gritted his teeth and said, "Ming Jin, retreat."
Until now, the cavalry has not appeared. There is only one possibility: there is something wrong with Ma Xi.
Ma Dengyun immediately released fireworks, and bright fireworks flew into the sky. Notify Tan Shide to retreat. The soldiers and servants are separated. Madengyun's soldiers are well-trained, and they have already prepared a swarm of arrows.
This thing is a cardboard tube with fifty rockets inside.
When retreating, light the fuse. Aiming at the enemy, it shoots towards them in a whoosh. Rockets sprayed fire at night, and arrows were like locusts, shooting densely at the enemy, effectively stopping the enemy's pursuit.
As soon as Ming Jin's signal to withdraw troops sounded, the fighting soldiers immediately gave up on their opponents, turned around and ran away. They had a total banner of fifty men and were at a disadvantage against seven or eight slaves. Those who are hacked by the opponent can only fight as a team.
As long as he is alone, he will be killed in almost a few rounds.
Oboi was wearing triple armor, like a prehistoric giant, wielding a mace and rushed forward. He originally planned to pursue them in tandem. However, a dozen servants of the Ma family suddenly appeared in front of his eyes, holding a thick tube and pointing it at him.
Before he could react, hundreds of arrows flew towards him like fireballs. In the light of the calcium carbide fire, he hurriedly threw the mace, rolled down on the spot, grabbed a dead body, and blocked it in front of him.
Rockets are much more powerful than bows and arrows. The body was grabbed by Obai and stood up on its side. In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen arrows hit the corpse. cum
Like a hedgehog, its back is full of arrows with fluttering wings.
Among the Bai Bai Ya La soldiers who were not as quick as Ao Bai, more than a dozen of them were shot, each of them hit by seven or eight arrows. They were dancing and struggling, then fell to the ground and became motionless.
Obai's arms and hands felt a sharp pain.
Those rockets actually penetrated the corpse, and the arrowheads emerged from the chest. Obai's arms and hands were pierced by arrows, and blood flowed immediately.
He angrily scolded Ma Dengyun for being despicable, but he did not dare to raise his head.
Rockets roared past his body. The hot wind blowing was very hot. The smoke from the burning gunpowder almost choked him and made him unable to breathe.
The place was filled with smoke and nothing could be seen. It's all white smoke.
He watched helplessly as Madeng Yun was held up by the soldiers and quickly retreated. Almost all the Eight Banners who tried to pursue were defeated and a large section was killed by rockets. Like the hedgehog, the body was still blackened by the unburned gunpowder.
Their clothes were also set on fire and burned. Oboi got up from the ground. Looking at the burned corpses in cotton-padded clothes on the ground, crackling and burning, the smell of barbecue filled my nose, and I couldn't help but want to vomit for a while.
He held his sword and looked at the enemy troops in the distance who had retreated from the camp. There was a solemn expression in his eyes.
These people were not as vulnerable as he imagined. Instead, cheer up and deal with it carefully. Because those white-toothed soldiers who didn't look down on them were still serving as candles, lying on the ground glowing and heating up.
Madengyun soon knew why. The cavalry did not attack from behind the two yellow flags' camp on time. When he retreated, he saw the Han army flag and some wild Jurchens and rushed to the battlefield.
The crowd was so dark that there were about 50,000 people. And that direction is the direction of the cavalry attack. There is no doubt that Ma Xi was unlucky. He ran into the Han army flag that was lagging behind. After a fierce battle between the two sides, Ma Xi was repulsed.
Ma Dengyun was glad in his heart that he was not eager to fight. Fortunately, when he saw that the momentum had subsided, the doubles became a stalemate, and he immediately ordered a retreat decisively.
If he had not retreated, he would not be able to withdraw now that the Han army flags were rushing forward.
However, today's results were good. At least more than a thousand Jian slaves were killed, and a lot of supplies and food were burned. It greatly dampened the enemy's high morale.
Madeng Yun ran back to the city in one breath. When he saw that the enemy was not chasing him, he let out a long breath.
Fortunately, it was dark and Huang Taiji was a cautious person. No pursuit was ordered. Instead, reorganize the camp first. Let them escape without any danger.
Tan Shide also came back. He was hit by an arrow in the cheek and was carried back on a stretcher.
Madeng Yun quickly called them into the city. Tan Shide was carried into the hospital, clenching his teeth and remaining in a coma.
"How did you do it? The coach was hit by an arrow."
"Ma Shuai, my master was surrounded by us and protected in the middle. He put up more than a dozen shields, but he was still hit in the cheek by an arrow from nowhere." The soldiers said aggrievedly.
It was very dark at that time. There were burning tents on all sides, and the brothers were still killing Jiannu. The scene was very noisy and chaotic.
I don't know where the magic archer was hiding in the dark. An arrow passed through the gap in the shield and hit Tan Shide's cheek.
Ma Dengyun became agitated and asked what would happen to his soldiers and horses once Shide lay down. Who will direct.
Fortunately, the head of a hundred households seemed to notice Ma Dengyun's worries and said quickly: "Before he fell into coma, my master said that he would hand over the troops to Ma Shuai's command."
