"Master, we can't retreat any longer. The tiger thieves' cannons are chasing us and firing. We can't escape." A Ba Yala with a red flag came to Yue Tuo.
He was very dissatisfied with Yue Tuo's retreat.
"No, then retreat." Yue Tuo said with red eyes.
Faced with the bombardment of the tiger-shaped flag, he could only ask the people with the two red flags to retreat and avoid them as much as possible, or to delay Daishan's departure.
】
"Master, if you don't dare to fight the tiger thief, let me come. I am not afraid of death." Bagala looked at Yue Tuo angrily.
After hearing this, Yue Tuo glared at him and angrily said, "Shut up. No one is allowed to attack the tiger thief without my order. Keep retreating."
He wants to buy more time for Daishan.
It's okay to win the active attack. Once it fails, there will be no power to stop the troops of the Tiger Flag. Although they are passively beaten and cannot fight back when they are bombarded, the casualties caused are limited to the entire two red flag armies.
Seeing Yue Tuo's attitude, Ba Yala felt that Yue Tuo was frightened by the people of the Tiger Flag, but he did not dare to really disobey Yue Tuo's order.
Cannonballs continued to fall into the camp of the Two Red Flags, taking away the lives of the flag soldiers of the Two Red Flags.
The two red flag soldiers who were unable to fight back were not only angry but also disappointed.
They had fought against various Jurchen tribes, fought against the Ming army in Liaodong, and fought against the Mongols on the grasslands, but this time, they could not use any strength.
"Yue Tuo, we can't go on like this. Once morale drops to the bottom, we will have no chance at all." A staff officer from Zhenghongqi came to Yue Tuo.
After Daishan left, Yue Tuo was the main one who was holding the red flag.
Yue Tuo said in a deep voice: "I understand your worries, but Amma's departure time is too short. I'm worried that I won't be able to stop the tiger thief's attack and give the tiger thief a chance to chase my Amma."
"I also know about the master's affairs, but now we have to consider the more than 10,000 taels of the red flag army. If this continues, I'm afraid I won't be able to restrain the people below." said the chief officer of Zhenghongqi.
Yue Tuo looked hesitant.
After a long time, he said: "Counterattack. Try to fight with the tiger thieves in the camp. It would be great if we can get together to avoid the threat of the tiger thieves' cannon."
"Okay, I'll go get ready right now." The counselor with a red flag turned and left.
Yue Tuo asked his personal guards to help him put on the armor outside.
Facing the Tiger Character Banner, he knew that this battle was not easy to fight. The Tiger Character Flag was more difficult to deal with than the Ming Army. He was not sure that he could win this battle, not to mention that the equipment was at a disadvantage.
It was difficult to deal with both sides, so he decided to give it a try.
Concentrating all the power in his hands, he launched an attack on the Tiger-Charactered Banner. He did not believe that the two red-banner troops of more than 10,000 people could be blocked by the dozens of cannons of the Tiger-Charactered Banner.
"The slave thief is going to fight for his life. Send the order and the whole army will attack." When Lao Wu saw the inside of the two red flag camps, he realized what the slave thief was doing and immediately sent out all the soldiers and horses in his hands.
In terms of military strength, the Dragoon Division was not at a disadvantage when facing an army of more than 10,000 people under two red flags.
boom! boom! boom!
As soon as the fighting started, the sound of gunshots and cannons sounded one after another.
Naturally, it is impossible for an army of more than 10,000 people to form a long queue of more than 10,000 people. The real fighting is still carried out in a small area.
The gunmen of the Tiger Flag kept shooting the fireguns in their hands, then stepped back, reloaded and fired again.
The sound of gunshots going back and forth continued uninterrupted, mixed with the sound of the squatting tiger cannon.
The soldiers of the two red flags, who did not have chariots as a means of resisting firearms, could only rely on their own flesh and blood as muskets and projectiles to give those behind them the opportunity to draw their bows and shoot arrows.
When fighting against the Ming army, the two red flags liked to get within twenty steps of the Ming army to ensure maximum lethality, and the arrows would not miss, so it was said that everyone was a marksman.
But this trick won't work in front of the people in the Tiger Flag.
Under the constant fire of fire muskets, there is no chance to get closer than 20 steps. In many cases, the bow will be drawn to shoot arrows from 50 steps away, because if you get closer, you will become the target of the musket before you can draw the bow.
However, as the distance is further, the accuracy of the bow and arrow is naturally insufficient, the arrow's power is also reduced, and the threat of the bow and arrow drops by more than one level.
Even so, the soldiers with the tiger flag were hit by arrows, lost their combat effectiveness, and were dragged behind by their companions.
Both sides suffered casualties.
But it was the slaves and thieves who suffered more casualties.
If the archers of the slave thieves want to threaten the people on the Tiger Flag, someone must block a round of bullets for them, otherwise they will become the target of the bullets before the arrows in their stretched hands miss.
Even so, there is only one chance to draw the bow and shoot an arrow.
More and more corpses were piled up on the two red flags' camp. The surrounding grass was stained red with blood, and even the soil on the ground turned a muddy black-red color.
Yue Tuo continuously sent men from the two red flags to attack the soldiers and horses with the Tiger Flag in front of him.
Even though the two red flags suffered more casualties, he still had no intention of retreating. Instead, he continued to insist that he and the tiger-character flag should fight to withstand the force.
He believed that even if the two red flags caused more casualties, their ability to withstand them would definitely be stronger than the soldiers and horses of the Tiger Flag.
As long as the tiger flag cannot bear it anymore and flees, he and the two red flags will win the final victory.
If the two red flags failed before the Tiger Flag collapsed, he would have nothing to regret.
Neither he nor the two red flags had a choice, either return with victory or become a corpse on the ground.
During the fighting between the two sides, the Dragoon Division always maintained its battle formation.
Moreover, the two red flags are like adding kerosene to an oil lamp. They keep getting closer to the military formation of the Tiger Flag, and then they are constantly being killed by muskets.
More and more corpses piled up on the ground, gradually forming a natural line of defense. The attack of the two red flags also began to slow down, no longer as desperate as before.
The pressure on Tiger Flag's side was naturally relieved.
The archers of the slave thieves learned to hide behind the corpses and shoot cold arrows at the soldiers on the side of the Tiger Flag.
Although the threat was not particularly great, soldiers continued to be shot and wounded and had to withdraw from the battlefield and be sent to the rear for treatment.
"Send the order and move forward fifty steps. The artillery team is ready to bombard the gathered slaves and bandits at any time." Lao Wu noticed the changes on the battlefield and immediately asked his several dragoon battalions to move forward.
As several battalions of the dragoon division moved forward, the slave archers who were hiding behind the corpses and firing cold arrows had to retreat.
Yue Tuo, who was at the rear of the battlefield, saw this scene and understood that the situation was over.
After so many people from the two red flags died, the remaining two red flag soldiers who were still alive were already scared. He could even feel the body of a Bagala next to him trembling slightly.
Even Dajin's most elite Bagala couldn't bear it, let alone the ordinary flag soldiers below.
