As the saying goes, when we meet on a narrow road, the brave one wins.
Who is the brave?
Black Tiger Camp and Dorgon's personal troops are all elites, brave men, and not cowards.
When brave men meet, who can win?
Cruel one!
This is not the first time that these two armies have fought against each other. During the battle last year, the two sides fought each other several times. They both knew that the other side was a ruthless enemy. This encounter was a case of enemies who were extremely jealous of each other.
Dorgon's pro-army wanted to regain their place and save face, risking their lives to catch the big boss of Dongchang who assassinated their prince, and even wanted to defeat or even annihilate the Ming army to vent their hatred, while the Black Tiger Battalion was determined to protect their governor to the death. public safety.
So the two groups of cavalry fought with all their strength without reservation, fiercely and tragically.
The so-called separation of three days meant that they looked at each other with admiration. When they met, both sides felt that the other side was very different from before, that it was stronger and more ruthless.
withdraw! Seeing that the opponent was gradually gaining the upper hand with its superior strength, Wu Mushan ordered the retreat without hesitation. He would not be stupid enough to engage in a stalemate with the opponent. Baiqi retreated as soon as they fought, and then walked away, but the Qing army was so... He allowed them to leave and followed closely behind them.
And at this time, due to the delay of two fightings, more than a thousand infantry of the Qing army also took a shortcut from the northeast and pursued them. They surrounded the Black Tiger Camp on foot and horse, and were about to eat up the Black Tiger Camp.
Outside, Chang Yu put on his battle armor and changed into a long sword. He and Tu Yuan's cavalry looked at Wu Mushan who was retreating in the distance, with murderous intent in his eyes: "There are many soldiers chasing behind me, it looks quite scary." .
"You are bluffing, you are vulnerable to a blow." Tu Yuan snorted and glanced at Chang Yu sideways: "If the Governor and Wuzhong and the others leave first, and they don't have to worry about their humble position, they can go on a killing spree..."
"Why, have I become your dragnet?" Chang Yu rubbed his hands back and forth on the handle of the knife. This was due to the inherent nervousness before the killing: "I have been chased for more than ten miles, if I don't kill him, I’m so happy that I can’t swallow this breath.”
"How can the Governor be a dragster? With the Governor's morale greatly shaken, there is no harm in killing him at the gate of Jinzhou City." Tu Yuan chuckled, Chang Yu smiled dullly: "Then let's play it big and leave with one strike. , Don’t be reluctant to fight.”
"Okay, let the Lord Governor have his fun and then we can leave!" Seeing the pursuers getting closer and closer, Tu Yuan's hand began to rub the handle of the knife.
As he spoke, Wu Mushan and his troops had already retreated to the front, passing by Tu Yuan and his hundreds of cavalry without stopping. He had completed the first wave of rear-cutting missions, and what he had to do now was to run out two miles away to take a breather, and then Take over this second interruption.
"Ma Yaozi, the people behind are catching up with them, there are thousands of them." As they passed each other, Wu Mushan shouted to Wang Fuchen. Wang Fuchen ignored him and looked at Tu Yuan and Chang Yu. Then his expression became excited, he turned his head and shouted behind him: "Brothers, kill the ***!"
"Kill the ***!" everyone shouted, and then Tu Yuan waved his long sword, and Baiqi faced the pursuers and killed them again.
This made the Qing army anxious and angry. Although they had a military advantage and were not weak in strength, they kept running and fighting with no chance to breathe. But the Ming army was divided into two groups, one Take a break and take turns. Your physical strength and fighting spirit are always above them.
As the saying goes, it is hard to work hard at one go, but then it will fade away, and then it will be exhausted. What you fight for at the beginning is your strength, but what you fight for later is your physical strength!
If you don't have physical strength, no matter how cruel you are, you'll still end up killing the opponent!
Fortunately, our own infantry arrived, and their strength increased greatly to make up for the lack of physical strength!
But in Chang Yu's view, these thousands of infantry are actually useless. It's not that these infantry are incompetent, but in the face of cavalry, the infantry of the same strength is really unbearable. What's more, they ran for more than ten miles huffing and puffing. On the ground, they were far more tired than the cavalry. Many soldiers were so tired that they could hardly lift their swords, let alone fighting.
How to fight this?
But the Qing army is not brainless, and its commander is well aware of its weakness at this time. Seeing that the previous group of Ming troops had just retreated, and another group of Ming troops came to kill them, we knew that they were trying to consume themselves by waiting for work. This tactic was quite disgusting and shameful, but it was very practical.
So I immediately changed my tactics. You are waiting for work, while I am trapped and annihilated.
To put it simply, the cavalry leads first
To restrain you, let the infantry encircle you from outside the battle circle, and then press into the circle. This can also take the opportunity to let the infantry take a breather and regain their strength. As I said just now, when the cavalry has the same strength, the infantry will be crushed. Yes, but the premise is that the troops are of the same strength. But at this time, the Qing army has thousands of infantry, which is at least ten times that of the Black Tiger Camp. In addition, there are more than 300 elite cavalry pestering you.
Some people would say that it doesn't matter if there are ten times as many infantrymen. If the cavalry rushes in, it is worse than tigers rushing into the flock of sheep. No matter how many sheep there are, it is useless.
Yes, but only if the other party is a sheep.
But now these Qing troops, whether infantry or cavalry, are they sheep?
No, their elite soldiers of Dorgon are wolves, steppe wolves!
The soldiers are wolf soldiers, and the generals are wolf generals.
The people who led the troops out of the city to pursue Chang Yu this time were not ordinary generals. They were the internal ministers Turge and Ta Zhan, who were famous for their bravery. Their positions were equivalent to the commanders of the Ming Emperor's 27 personal guards.
Among them, Ta Zhan was the first to lead his troops out of the city, but his initial target was the Black Tiger Camp. He led more than a thousand troops and more than 200 cavalry. Turge followed with 200 cavalry, mainly to chase Chang Yu.
Turge's cavalry came first and caught up with Ta Zhan and explained the situation. The cavalry of the two troops merged into one and pursued first, and the two led the infantry to follow.
Why didn't the two warriors personally lead the cavalry to pursue them?
Because the two of them were too cautious!
After leaving the city, they learned that Chang Yu's four cavalry were fleeing to the west, while the Ming army's cavalry was more than ten miles away in the southwest. The two of them thought that no matter how brave the four cavalry were, they would not be able to escape the 400 cavalry. In pursuit, they had to be on guard against the Ming army in the southwest. Although they didn't know that the Ming army was from the Black Tiger Camp, they thought that it would be a bad idea to dare to come alone.
Then I thought whether to divide the troops into two groups, the cavalry to capture the people, and they to lead the infantry to trap the Ming army first, or wait for the cavalry to capture the people and then kill the Ming army together.
Before this side could decide to pay attention, news came from the front. The Ming army had arrived and the two sides were starting to fight!
Damn it, Turg wanted to kill his spies, so he hurriedly led his troops there. News came from the front that he had run south, so he quickly turned around and chased south.
When they arrived, Wu Mushan was withdrawing his troops and Chang Yu and Tu Yuan were coming to kill them.
They were both veterans on the battlefield and understood the opponent's tactics and thoughts in an instant, so Turge and Tazhan quickly formulated a tactical response. He used cavalry to contain them, while Tazhan led his infantry to encircle them, leaving them with no way to escape!
That's right, Turg himself came on stage. He wanted to see who his opponent was. Is he really as brave as his subordinates described him to be? He wanted to see who was braver!
But Turge never dreamed that he would encounter three murderers as soon as he came on stage!
