kill!
The soldiers on the hillside installed bayonets on their fire guns, and under the leadership of Wang Ju, they chased the defeated slave thieves who fled down the hillside.
Wang Ju led his men down the hillside to chase and defeat the enemy. The soldiers and horses of the 1,000-man regiment of the official army on the flanks were also eager to try.
No one wants to pass up the opportunity to beat up a drowned dog.
Just as the captain of the 1,000-man regiment of the official army hesitated, the orderly soldier ran over.
"Captain Zhou, the battalion is ordering you to pursue the enemy immediately. The Tiger Crouching Cannon and the gunner will stay behind."
The messenger brought the order to pursue the defeated troops.
If the slave thieves had not been defeated, Zhao Wu would not have dispatched the 1,000-man army. Now that the slave thieves were defeated, it was the time to beat up the drowned dog, and he would not let go of such an opportunity.
Although the 1,000-man regiment of the official army was inferior to the soldiers of the Tiger Character Banner, at least they were officers and soldiers of the Ming army, and they were strong men selected from the refugees from Liaodong.
It may be a little worse to face the enemy head-on than the slave thieves, but there is still no problem in chasing down the defeated troops.
After receiving the order, the 1,000-man regiment of the official army immediately dispatched and rushed down the hillside, targeting the fleeing slaves.
The Han soldiers who were fleeing down the hillside saw the Ming army chasing them on the hillside. They ran faster and lost everything they could, just to run faster and not be caught by the Ming army.
Hailancha and the Jurchens originally wanted to retreat with the Han soldiers, but they did not expect that the soldiers and horses with the Tiger Flag actually chased them down the hillside this time.
Thinking that since the soldiers and horses of the Tiger Flag gave up their own advantage and pursued them, they were determined to fight back and turn defeat into victory. Unfortunately, he tried several times to gather the Jurchen soldiers and failed to do so.
Instead, the Jurchen soldiers were led by the fleeing Han soldiers and fled faster.
What they boasted about being invincible was the same when they were running for their lives. They ran away and threw everything they could on the way back.
Running away, the Jurchens, who usually had plenty of food and drink, ran in front of the Han soldiers.
The food that the Han soldiers usually eat is much worse than that of the Jurchens, and Nahai is a Jurchen who looks down on the Han people. It can be said that the life of the Han people in Jinzhou City is not easy.
Especially the Han officers and soldiers at the bottom usually don't have enough to eat or drink. They can only eat half full at most every meal. Even so, their lives are much better than those in the Ming army.
In addition, many Han soldiers attacked the tiger-character flag soldiers and horses on the hillside twice in a row. As soon as they fled for their lives, it didn't take long for many Han soldiers to lose their strength.
At first, some Han soldiers were overtaken by the soldiers with the tiger-shaped flag chasing after them.
The shimmering bayonets stabbed into the Han soldiers who were overtaken but wanted to resist, taking away the lives of the Han soldiers.
But more Han soldiers chose to kneel down and surrender.
They had surrendered to the slave thieves before, but now they were surrendering to the Ming army from the slave thieves side.
As long as they could survive, many Han soldiers did not care who they surrendered to.
For the Han soldiers who chose to kneel down and surrender, the pursuing Tiger Flag soldiers did not let them go temporarily and continued to pursue the Han soldiers, Hailancha and others who were still escaping in front.
Although the soldiers of the Tiger Flag fought several times here, they did not need to climb the hillside, so they still had some physical strength. In addition, with another great victory and high morale, no one felt tired.
Hailancha and the Jurchens escaped quickly, and the Tiger Flag soldiers behind them were not too slow in pursuit.
After Nahai, the leader of the slave bandits, discovered that Hai Lancha had fled, he was so angry that he almost chopped down a Jurchen next to him with a knife.
Fortunately, his remaining sanity prevented him from taking action. If the person next to him was a Han soldier, he would never stay behind.
"Incompetent, waste." Nahai cursed loudly.
Unexpectedly, Hailancha, who had been given an important task by himself, would actually lose, and he would still lose at the hands of a group of Han people. This was something he was never willing to accept.
How could the incompetence and waste of the Han people be their opponents, the Jurchens.
"Master, the Han soldiers and horses are about to pursue us. We might as well retreat to Jinzhou City first." A slave soldier following him respectfully said to Na Hai.
Nahai looked hesitant.
Seeing this, the slave soldier continued: "Master, we are here to deal with Nanguan Island. There are not many defenders left in Jinzhou City. If something happens to the master, once Han soldiers and horses attack Jinzhou City, I will worry about Jinzhou." The city will fall into the hands of this Han army."
In order to capture Nanguan Island, Nahai brought over most of the soldiers and horses in Jinzhou City.
As long as he can capture Nanguan Island, he will not only have no fault but have merit. But if he loses his troops and generals and loses Jinzhou City, even if he is a descendant of the Guarjia family, the fifth minister of the Jin Dynasty, he may still lose his head.
After all, he is not the only descendant of Gualjia.
"Let's go back to Jinzhou City." Nahai decided to reassure Hai Lancha and others.
Because he knew that even if he stayed, he wouldn't be of much help to Hai Lancha and others, and it would easily get him into trouble. It was better to go back to Jinzhou City first and defend Jinzhou City.
Deciding to go back to Jinzhou City, Nahai went very decisively.
With a dozen slave soldiers around him, he evacuated from the battlefield on horseback and galloped toward Jinzhou City.
As soon as he left, the last bit of morale of the Jurchens who were escaping back was completely wiped out. They lost all the armor they could carry, just so that they would not be burdened and would not hinder their escape.
Without the armor, there is no difference between the Jurchens and ordinary people.
As long as they are caught up by the tiger-character flag soldiers who are chasing them, they will raise their hands and stab them with a bayonet.
The Jurchens who fled for their lives still retained the last hope in their hearts, which was to escape back to Jinzhou City. In addition to the small number of people, few chose to surrender.
On the contrary, the Han soldiers, seeing that they could not escape, quickly chose to surrender.
On the wall of Nanguandao Fort in the distance, several Ming army generals have been paying attention to the situation on the battlefield.
The general guarding the fort opened his mouth wide at this moment, unable to believe the scene in front of him.
The Ming army who came to aid them in Nanguan actually won a complete victory against the slave thieves in the field.
Even if the number of Ming troops on the east hillside is twice as large as that of slaves, a win is a win, which greatly increases the prestige of the Lushun defenders.
"Haha, when the support general comes to the fort, I will definitely have a few drinks with him. It will really boost the morale of our Ming army." The guard of Nanguandao Fort stroked his beard and laughed.
I originally thought that the Nanguandao Fort was about to fall into the hands of the slave thieves, but I didn't expect that a reinforcement came from the rear. Not only did they relieve the siege of Nanguandao, they also severely beat the slave thieves' soldiers and horses, giving him a bad breath.
The deputy standing next to him also said with a smile on his face: "This battle is indeed a relief, but I don't know which general is coming?"
"No matter who it is, as long as he can defeat the slave bandit's soldiers and horses, I will admire him." The guard of Nanguandao Fort said with admiration.
Over the years, they had only won a handful of battles against the slave thieves. More often than not, even if the slave thieves showed off their power in Lushun, they, the Ming army defenders, could only huddle in the fort and watch.
Forget about the frustration in my heart.
Facing the soldiers and horses of the slave thieves, they had already lost the courage to fight head-on in the wild.
