Chapter 431: Hating Xuzhou
Although Abatai's men ran toward the camp, they still left behind more than 10,000 cavalrymen with Han banners. Seeing that there was no hope of escape, these people dismounted and asked to surrender.
Chen Cao also gave up the idea of killing prisoners. After all, these people would be of great use in future construction, so he accepted their surrender and only killed all senior generals from the guerrilla level to the rank of generals and deputy generals, and sent guerrillas to All commanders above 1,000 and above were arrested, and they will receive political education in the future.
Chen Cao also rested comfortably and met with Wang Xiaojie. After praising him, he immediately led his troops to the front and brought the minigun that had shined so brightly to Song Che so that he could resist the frontal battlefield. Haug's department.
"Your Majesty, please give chase."
Chen Cao looked at Gao Jie and nodded expressionlessly: "Fighting has already started in various war zones. The entire Xuzhou has been turned into a mess. Many troops cannot be contacted now. Abatai hit me again." Whether the gun is alive or dead is unknown, and the battlefield behind is full of people, and I don’t believe they can’t stop those more than 10,000 people.”
It's not that Chen Cao doesn't want to pursue, but that all the troops he saw are exhausted. This kind of troops can't give full play to their advantages when they are brought to the battlefield. They are not as good as infantry. Instead of being at the end of a strong crossbow, it is better to let them rest temporarily before continuing to fight. The effect is At least much bigger.
"Send the order, the whole army will rest for half an hour..."
"Your Majesty," You Shiwei walked up to Chen Cao: "I thought we should continue the pursuit. Now the entire battlefield is already inextricably fought. The addition of cavalry can at least ease the situation."
The reason why Chen Cao chose to rest and recuperate was because of Wang Xiaojie's participation. From Wang Xiaojie's mouth, he had learned that Abatai had withdrawn all his troops from Xuzhou City, and that Xuzhou had been successfully captured. All the main ferries in Xuzhou were garrisoned by troops. There are thirty-six small crossings in Xuzhou, and there is no way to evacuate more than 10,000 troops at the same time;
In addition, the arrival of the minigun also greatly increased Chen Cao's strength. He had reason to believe that defeating the Qing army was only a matter of time, especially the defeat of Abatai.
After hearing what You Shiwei said, Chen Cao nodded: "In that case, let's set off immediately."
The entire Xuzhou battlefield was indeed inextricable, especially the frontal battlefield. Hauge had no idea that Abatai's plan to sneak attack the right wing of the Ming army's formation had failed. However, he led 100,000 Manchu, Mongolian and Han Eight Banners elite cavalry to start on the battlefield. Under the cover of Jierhalang's artillery, he rushed to two hundred steps away from the frontal position of the Ming army. Coupled with the vehicle formations composed of groups of Wuhan Iron and Steel vehicles, they effectively blocked the firearms of the Ming army defenders, and then allowed Hauge to The army broke through Song Che's defense line on the frontal battlefield less than half an hour after the battle began.
For this reason, Lou Xingye and Huang Degong also went into battle shirtless, carrying long swords and slashing at the rebels crazily.
As a commander, Song Che could not go into battle to kill the enemy in person, but he held a rifle on the high ground of the headquarters and fired one after another. Nearly 100,000 people fought back and forth within a three-mile radius. Bodies were scattered all over the ground, and there was blood. Rivers formed and began to gather along the low-lying land.
The smell of blood hung over the entire battlefield.
Hauge immediately stood up in high spirits and saw the cavalry under his command that had broken through the Ming army's defense line. Their figure was quite similar to that of Naizun Nurhaci in the battle at Xipingbao.
"Your Majesty, our army has broken through the Ming army's defense line, and the infantry has also started fighting with them inside the Ming army."
Haug only nodded symbolically to Goshiha's report. Now that the cavalry is repeatedly charging inside the Ming army, it is only a matter of time before the battle is won.
In the chaotic battlefield, Yi Qi was a little confused, but if he looked closely, he saw that this Goshiha looked not only embarrassed, but also filled with a lot of fear.
"what happened?"
An Angbang Zhangjing had just stopped the messenger Goshiha when he heard chaotic shouts: "King Su, the king's attack has failed, and the Ming people are counterattacking."
Hauge's previous good mood disappeared at this moment. He asked Zhang Jing to let Geshiha in and asked angrily: "Tell me carefully what's going on?"
"Back to King Su, Ming Emperor Chen Cao personally led tens of thousands of cavalry to launch a decisive battle with the county king. The Ming people set up an ambush. Seeing that our army was about to win, the Ming people's artillery fired behind our army, and our army was immediately in chaos. .”
"Where is Prince Raoyu?"
Geshiha shook his head: "The king personally intercepted the enemy, and Beizi Boluo led my 10,000 troops to break out in the middle of the battlefield."
Haug gave up the idea of continuing to ask. Now Abatay's defeat is a fact. The key point is whether his defeat will have a chain reaction. Moreover, what Goshiha brought back was that Abatay personally cut off the queen, and Bolo took 10,000 Many people have already broken through to the center of the battlefield.
"Who is that? Call the Han counselor who has been with my seventh uncle all this time."
Hauge was so panicked that he couldn't even remember who was around him.
Wang Shi quickly rode his horse to Hauge's side. He already knew the cause of the matter. After arriving, he said: "Prince Su, before the Ming army's pursuers have arrived and before the reinforcements are in place, sweep the battlefield first, and then By concentrating superior forces to capture Song Che, the general of the Ming Dynasty, Chen Cao must have restrained his tactics. If we can capture Song Che, our army will have a 70% chance of victory."
Haug nodded quickly, perhaps because Abate's defeat made him a little superior, and he couldn't even figure out such a simple thing: "Immediately send an order to Jierhalang, let his artillery extend to the Ming army's position, don't be stingy with shells , Su and Mei, send two yellow flags and follow me to attack."
The previous attack had been restrained, but the Qing army on the battlefield suddenly discovered that the Great Banner had actually arrived in front of the Ming army's first position, and even the two yellow flags had been dispatched, so Zhang Jing and the deputy generals in charge of each command The cavalry, who were still taking turns to rest and charge at the edge of the battlefield after receiving orders, launched a fierce offensive again.
Several torrents of cavalry were like extending branches, weaving back and forth in various defensive positions of the Ming army, as if they were entering an uninhabited land.
Just when Hauge thought he was about to achieve his set goal, there was a sudden and obvious commotion on the edge of the battlefield on the west side. Not long after, a large banner embroidered with the word "明" appeared, led by Chen Cao.
Chen Cao took the lead, and under the cover of his guards, he rushed towards the Qing troops who were crossing back and forth in the middle of the battlefield in an arrow formation. What he encountered was the Zhenglan Banner Cavalry led by Bolo.
The situation on the battlefield was extremely chaotic. Not only the Ming army itself, but also the attacking Qing army did not know how organized it was. The more than 10,000 men brought out by Bolo were now reduced to seven or eight teams due to the attack, and the largest team was It was just a team of more than 3,000 people around Bolo himself.
'Bang bang bang...bang bang bang...bang bang bang...bang bang bang...bang bang bang...bang bang bang...'
'Bang bang bang...bang bang bang...bang bang bang...bang bang bang...bang bang bang...bang bang bang...'
'Bang bang bang...bang bang bang...bang bang bang...bang bang bang...bang bang bang...bang bang bang...'
Chen Cao, who was pursuing, should have his enemies shot first to polish off the enemy's morale. After all, Bolo's Zhenglan Banner troops were frightened, and even the most elite troops would get tired sometimes.
"Rush back..."
After discovering Haug's banner, Bolo felt like he had seen a savior, and desperately joined Haug. However, the Ming army blocking him was also formed by the division of Haug's army. Not only did he have no way to rush over, but also The Ming army, which was blocking the attack on the spot, had no way to join the large army.
Simply Bolo's luck was really good. A charging Niulu with a yellow flag found Bolo, and Bolo went with him to Haug's location.
"King Su."
"Bolo, where is your Amma?"
Bolo shook his head: "Ama asked me to lead the troops to break out, but he personally intercepted the rear. I don't know the situation."
"Your Majesty, the Ming cavalry has joined the battle, and the forward battalion has been defeated."
Bolo immediately said: "Prince Su, I recognize Chen Cao's appearance."
Haug nodded: "I also recognize his appearance. Here he comes, ready to attack."
The artillery fire in the sky was already raining down, and the bullets were showing their power on the battlefield at this moment, forcing those attacking from both sides to choose to avoid. The Qing army's erroneous attack made Goshiha, who was guarding Haug, dissuade him from launching a charge. Hauge, not only that, but also pulling him out of the battlefield.
A shell exploded on Chen Cao's offensive line. Zhao Xin was shocked. He wanted to dissuade him but found that Chen Cao had already rushed to the front. The Qing army was very skilled in cavalry and archery. Zhao Xin was worried that Chen Cao would capsize in the ditch. , was shot by the cold arrows of the Qing army.
"Protect the Emperor..."
"Protect the Emperor..."
In the panic, a cavalry guarding Abatai, who was seriously injured and unconscious, detoured into Hauge's guard circle. After seeing Abatai, who was already unconscious, Hauge's face was stern. Abatai was from Xuzhou. As a commander on the battlefield, his injury was a huge blow to morale.
"Immediately escort the prince to the rear and block the news. The news that the prince is injured must not be leaked."
"twitter..."
.
A Niulu cavalryman had just charged from the center to the edge of the battlefield. Just when the whole team was about to charge again, a large number of Ming infantry appeared on the edge of the battlefield. Heading towards the battlefield.
Niu Lu was shocked when he saw this. This must be reinforcements arranged by the Ming army. However, his sight was only on the front line, so he ordered the team not to turn around, and after preparation, they charged directly forward.
Wang Xiaojie ran very fast. There was only one of his guard regiments in the vanguard, and all the follow-up troops were behind him. Therefore, to the naked eye, others could see that his troops only had about a thousand people. Even for a firearms unit of more than a thousand people, more than 300 cavalry were enough. It was Niu Lu's idea to disperse all these thousand people.
"Set up the revolver."
"Load..."
"Report to the military, the Tatars are charging."
Wang Xiaojie personally sat on his hands and knees behind the revolver, with a sinister smile on his face: "Hey, as many as you come will die..."
