November 15th, late at night.
Although the night is deep, today is the "15th", a good day with the bright moon in the sky. . . Although it snowed heavily in Seoul during the day, the temperature also dropped sharply. But after the temperature dropped, the sky cleared up and the moon "came out" at night.
Gualjia Anjuhu's natural sharp eyesight allowed him to see the road clearly without using torches or lanterns at nights like this. However, he still controlled the horse very carefully, and at a brisk pace, under the cover of the night, he quickly approached the Ming army infantry who were marching struttingly. To his left and right, there were countless undulating horse heads, and the golden rat braids on the back of the Balhu cavalry's heads were swaying left and right in the air.
The surrounding Barhu cavalry seemed very excited. Although they were only the prey of the Cossacks in Siberia or the outer northeast, they never regarded themselves as weak... In their minds, living in the warm and humid land of the southern Central Plains The farmers on the ground are the weak ones who are vulnerable.
Especially after they ran to General Ning Guta's territory and were regarded as treasures by the Qing court who was eager to collect "savage Jurchens" from the corners of the Northeast, they felt that they were quite awesome... .That is to say, they are slightly worse than the Cossacks and the Sauron soldiers.
And this time their experience of following Kangxi in sending troops to Korea strengthened their psychological advantage... Those farmers who farmed the fields were really vulnerable! From crossing the Yalu River to arriving at Seoul, these Balhu cavalry have not lost a battle yet!
And tonight they met an opponent who was not only "weak", but also stupid. A mere few thousand infantrymen rushed into an area guarded by more than 10,000 Eight Banners heavenly soldiers. Moreover, they did not form a large infantry formation, but were divided into four small formations, which did not look particularly close. Although there seems to be a circle of spears surrounding the small formation, is this thin circle of spears really useful?
In addition, if they want to use the cover of night to discredit their journey, then don't light up torches!
Walking at night with torches, who can't see them? These Ming troops are really stupid to the extreme, and they are really far behind the Cossacks of the Rakshasa Kingdom.
These Barhu people skillfully controlled their horses and quickly approached their prey under the cover of darkness without using torches. At this time, they all took out Manchu bows and drew arrows with thick arrow shafts and wide arrowheads. Seeing how they use bows and arrows now, we know that Emperor Kangxi regarded these people from Siberia and the outer northeast as his own. They were given good bows and arrows, cotton-armored gun helmets, and even wooden-handled grenades filled with granular black powder.
So their current standard tactic is to shoot arrows first, and then throw grenades... This can be called the "Barr Tiger Grenadier Cavalry". If you go and train with the Cossacks who robbed Siberia, you might be able to win.
Unfortunately, what they encountered today was not the Cossacks, but the only "highly sugared" army in the world!
About 4,000 Ming infantrymen seemed to ignore the Baer Hu cavalry that was rapidly approaching them. They still marched unhurriedly in the night, and had no intention of forming a hollow square formation. They even formed a circle around four battalion-level columns. The pikemen were also very determined and marched slowly with their pikes on their backs.
Didn't they notice us?
Anzhuhu suddenly felt like he was being despised, and he also felt a little bit bad.
At this time, the cavalry had entered less than a hundred steps away from the four Ming army camp formations that were slowly advancing.
The four battalion vertical formations finally reacted, but they still did not form a hollow square formation. They just stopped. Facing the Baer Tiger Cavalry led by Anzhuhu, the pikemen on the side turned around and faced Baer. The tiger cavalry then put down their spears and half knelt down. The two rows of musketeers behind them also turned around, but still did not level their muskets.
At the same time, there were more than 200 Ming army infantrymen who seemed to be carrying big hammers. They ran out of the hollow position in the middle of the four diamond-shaped battalion formations and stood in front of the Ming army formation. Facing the Balhu cavalry, they formed two rows of sparse formations. The front row half knelt and carried a sledgehammer on their shoulders. The back row held a torch. After the front row carried the sledgehammer, the back row held a torch. The Ming army stepped forward and lit something with torches...
This is a rocket hammer!
Anzhuhu suddenly remembered that the Ming army had a "small rocket" that could be launched by a single soldier on his shoulder. Although this thing uses gunpowder as the propellant, the "hammer head" is filled with sugar powder!
As soon as he thought of this, fire and smoke suddenly appeared from the tails of the rocket hammers on people's shoulders, and then he saw all the hammer heads flying out, drawing arcs in the air, and then flying towards Balhu. A group of cavalry.
Anzhuhu knew immediately that something was wrong, and quickly pulled the reins hard to rein in the horse under his crotch!
However, he could save himself, but he could not save his Balhu cavalry.
The Ming army fired more than a hundred rocket hammers at one time. These rocket hammers were very powerful and flew far. If only one third of them exploded, the Bar Lake Cavalry under his command would suffer heavy losses!
But Anzhuhu knew that it was too late for the Baal Tiger Cavalry under his command to evade. Now he just prayed to God to protect the Baal Tiger Cavalry from causing too heavy losses.
As soon as he thought of this, the more than one hundred hammerheads had already flown dozens of steps and landed on the path that the Balhu cavalry must pass.
Those Balhu cavalry had no idea what was going on, and even if they knew it, they didn't react so quickly... Shortly after the Hammerhead landed, the Balhu cavalry who had prepared their bows and arrows stepped into the Hammerhead concentration. The landing area.
"Retreat, retreat quickly..."
Anzhuhu, who had reined in his horses, shouted loudly to get these cavalry back, but the battlefield with two to three thousand galloping horses was so noisy that no one heard him!
Before Anzhu Lake's shouts had dissipated, the "hammer heads" that fell on the ground exploded one after another and turned into a ball of fireworks. The fragments of the hammer heads and the projectiles filled inside the hammer heads also followed. The explosions turned into life-threatening sharp blades, flying around and mercilessly cutting through the bodies of human bodies and war horses. Horses and riders screamed in agony, and everywhere there were horses and people who had been shot, injured and fell to the ground. The cavalry in the rear slowed down to avoid it, and some cavalry were unable to avoid it and bumped into the injured and frightened horses.
The Barhu cavalry suddenly became a mess.
"Withdraw! Withdraw! Withdraw..."
Anzhuhu opened his throat and shouted, and a trumpeter following him also reacted and began to blow the horn of retreat.
But before the confused Barhu cavalry could react, the more than two hundred grenadiers who came up carrying the "Iron Fist" fired a second wave of "hammers"... Immediately afterwards, the originally standing The motionless Ming army camp column suddenly began to quickly approach the Baal Tiger Cavalry, which was staggered and thrown into chaos by two rounds of "iron fist explosions" amid a burst of rapid drums and drums!
The infantry can actually use the "iron fist" they carry with them and an array of spears and flintlocks to defeat the roaring cavalry!
Zhu Heji, who was watching the battle behind a low wall, also saw this scene from a distance and was shocked and stunned. The wars in the "Sugar Age" were really different from the original wars in history.
The day when the nomads can sing and dance will not come early, right?
...
"Your Majesty, let's triumph..."
"Your Majesty, this servant also feels that this battle was fought well. Now it's time to call it quits!"
"That's right, even if you win, there's no point in staying here in Seoul..."
In Xingzhou Mountain City, Kangxi, who came down from the watchtower and took a nap in his clothes, was suddenly shaken awake, and then he heard someone urging him to give up and play Kaibanshi. Okay, why do you have to play Kaibanshi? Where will the class teacher move back?
Kangxi was shocked: What happened? This feeling...so familiar!
