Is the Lok Ma River flooded?
so coincidental? If you don't attack early, you won't attack later, just when the army of Hou Jin Dynasty is crossing the river?
Huang Tiji, who was sitting in a soft sedan chair and being carried across the Lok Ma River, immediately realized that something was wrong. Someone had built a dam upstream to hold back the water, waiting to release the water when he crossed the river... He was about to drown. Ben is sweating profusely! Also, the great Khan, Jiren and Tianxiang, is not that easy to drown. I wonder if any of the warriors below have been drowned?
Thinking of this, Huang Taiji quickly asked the bearer who had already run to a safe area and was breathing heavily to turn around so that he could face the rushing Luoma River.
As soon as the sedan turned around, he saw eight gunners who had lost their cannons and were transferred from Wuzhenchaoha camp. They were carrying a coffin with a huff and a cry. They rushed to the ground that was not submerged before the flood peak drowned them. The safe area on the north bank of the Lok Ma River... was about to be swallowed up by the flood. These guys didn't throw away the coffin. They really did their duty. But who is this coffin for?
Huang Taiji's mood became even worse when he thought of this problem. He felt extremely disgusted when he saw the eight traitors who were trying hard to carry the coffin. Just when he was about to order Zhang Xiaoqi and others to "abandon the coffin", Obai next to him started shouting.
"Khan, it's bad...our large group of people is separated by the other side of the river!"
At first, the big guy was still feeling lucky that the flood didn't drown him, but when Obai reminded him, he immediately realized that something was wrong!
Although the flood did not drown many Eight Banners soldiers who were wading across the river - the Luoma River is only so wide. When the flood rushes over, how many people can be in the river and there is no time to run to safety? Therefore, the Eight Banners soldiers who were washed away by the flood were not a large number compared to the defeated soldiers led by Huang Taiji.
But as soon as the Luoma River rose, the Hou Jin Army brigade still on the south bank would be temporarily unable to cross the river!
Moreover, there are not many Houjin Eight Banners who have crossed the river to the north bank. They only have the Qianfeng Battalion, Zhenghuang Banner Guard Camp, and Xiaoqi Battalion under the direct jurisdiction of Huang Taiji, as well as those who protect Daishan, Abatai, Degelei, Yuetuo, and Shuo. Tuo, Saharin and other white-armored soldiers from various banners of Baylor and Big Baylor. Together, these people numbered more than 6,000, and nearly 18,000 people remained on the south bank of the Luoma River.
To make matters worse, because Huang Taiji was worried about people from the Lianghongqi and Zhenglanqi causing trouble, he surrounded the flag owners of these three flags, Gu Shan Ezhen.
Therefore, the largest one on the south bank of the Lok Ma River is Aung Bang Chang Kyung. It is difficult for an officer of this level to command the troops of a banner. How can he command the entire army? Moreover, the people below saw that the banner owners above had crossed the river and ran away... These people are the masters of the Great Jin Kingdom!
Now that the master has run away, the slave is left to die? Can the people below agree?
Thinking of these, Huang Taiji started to have a headache, a splitting headache! Is he going to get sick again?
"Great Khan, Nan, Nan soldiers are coming!"
Oboi, who was already standing in the stirrups and began to look around to observe the enemy's situation, shouted again.
Huang Taiji quickly straightened his back on the soft sedan and looked south, but found nothing.
At this time, Obai roared again: "To the west, the enemy is coming from the west... It should be the cavalry marching along the Luoma River. Look at the smoke and dust raised during their march... There are about three to four thousand riders!”
By the way, the Luoma River flows from west to east. If the Ming army wants to dam the river upstream, it must be to the west of the Hou Jin army. In other words, in addition to the two Ming armies that met at the Nalin River, there was another Ming army that had already detoured back to the banks of the Luoma River, waiting to catch the Jin army off guard.
In addition, there is a lot of work to block the river and build dams, so the number of this Ming army must not be small!
Huang Taiji turned his head and looked at the dark blue sky in the west. He saw the large smoke and dust that would only be raised when the cavalry galloped in the distant sky.
At this moment, he wished he had died outside Nalin City!
Quickly approaching the intersection of Luoma River and Laoha River, there are 3,600 front cavalry led by Sun Chuanting himself!
In order to prevent the Jin Army's forward battalion cavalry from discovering it, Sun Chuanting did not dare to ambush his troops too close to the Laoha River. Instead, he hid in a large forest about 30 miles away from the Laoha River. Such an ambush would not work at all when Huang Taiji's soldiers and horses were strong. The forward battalion and the Eight Banners Mongolian cavalry will definitely search them out!
However, Huang Taiji's troops, who had been defeated all the way and suffered heavy losses, could no longer send the Tanma Rangers too far, so they did not discover Sun Chuanting's ambush.
As for the dam blocking the river, it was built about fifty or sixty miles away from the confluence of the Laoha River and the Luoma River. The infantry of the front army of a regiment worked hard for two days and two nights to build it.
After discovering that the Jin Army brigade was approaching the Luoma River, Sun Chuanting immediately ordered the dam to be blown up and the water released. At the same time, he handed over the main force to deputy general Sun Yingyuan, and then personally led three front cavalry regiments to rush along the south bank of the Luoma River.
In fact, he is also taking a big gamble!
Because he has no idea what effect the flood of Lok Ma River can have? He didn't know how depressed Huang Taiji's defeated troops were now, but he just felt that after running for several days in Houjin's direction, his horse power must have been lost, so he could give it a try... If it didn't work, he would just rely on his horses to retreat quickly. Join forces with the infantry led by Sun Yingyuan and fight again.
However, this plan that really doesn't work seems to be redundant. Because when the 3,600 cavalry led by Sun Chuanting appeared on the battlefield, the Hou Jin Army brigade on the other side of the Luoma River was already in chaos.
Since the banner leaders of the Later Jin Army and Gushan Ezhen all followed Huang Taiji across the river, the more than 18,000 Hou Jin Army cavalry (including horseless cavalry) who remained on the other side of the Luoma River were leaderless, with only some Ang Bangzhangjing. He Jia La Zhangjing was busy gathering his troops and horses to form an infantry formation.
Yes, it's a foot formation. They want to learn from the Ming army's method of resisting cavalry with foot.
It has to be said that the quality of the officers of the Eight Banners of Manchuria in this era was quite good. They not only knew how to fight on horseback, but also on foot.
They knew that the horse power on their side had long been exhausted, and they could no longer store up any energy - many war horses had already been eaten or turned into dried horsemeat, so how could they store up their energy? It is impossible for the Eight Banners warriors to charge on horseback with dried meat!
But it’s not easy to resist riding with foot!
These Eight Banners soldiers of the Hou Jin Dynasty have been fleeing for days. In order to run faster, they have long ago discarded all the long weapons and anti-horse guns and other equipment that can prevent the cavalry from attacking. Now only some short weapons and bows and arrows are left. Moreover, many soldiers have not had enough to eat for two or three days. How can they still have the strength to draw their bows?
In addition, the cavalry of the Ming Army now often carry lightweight 3-pound cannons with them. This kind of cavalry cannon cannot hit a fortified city, and the effect of the enemy's cavalry islands that can move quickly is not satisfactory. But against Hou Jin's "horseless cavalry", it was really comfortable to fight...
There are also some Angbang Zhangjing and Jia Lazhangjing who know that they cannot resist the Ming army's cavalry...the result of resisting forcefully is self-destruction!
So they took the opposite approach to most Angbang Jungkyung and Gyala Jungkyung and risked crossing the river!
The peak of the flood has passed. Although the current is still relatively fast and the water level is relatively deep, for those Eight Banners soldiers who are good at water and can still sustain their physical strength, swimming across the Luoma River is the only way to survive!
Some people want to resist, and some people want to swim. How can the Hou Jin Army's battle formation south of Luoma River be better?
The Ming army's cavalry didn't come, but it was already in chaos!
Huang Taiji, who was on the north bank of the Luoma River, witnessed all this. He watched helplessly as the Eight Banners armed force "passed" to him by his father Nurhachi quickly disintegrated. From a tiger and wolf army that fought against the common people, it became a lamb that could only be slaughtered!
"The Confederate Army is coming! The Confederate Army's cavalry is coming! Run!"
On the other side of the Luoma River, a desperate call suddenly sounded. Huang Taiji, who already had a splitting headache, suddenly felt a spin, and then heard him shout several times: "Since Huang Taiji was born, why bother to give birth to Zhu Youjian again?"
