Chapter 177 Bloody Battle

Zu Dale and Dong Yongwen, who were originally preparing to send an order to retreat, saw reinforcements arriving, and immediately gave up the idea of ​​retreat. They drew their swords and shouted loudly:

"Soldiers, our reinforcements are here, kill the Tatars!"

Both Meng Ruhu and Li Chongzhen went into battle to kill the enemy in person. Zu Dale and Dong Yongwen felt that they could no longer hide behind, so they also joined the battle group under the protection of their servants and soldiers.

The ones charging in front of the Jiannu formation were the Eight Banners Han Army and the Eight Banners Mongolian Army. Their combat effectiveness was several grades lower than that of the Eight Banners Manchurian Army, but slightly stronger than the Ming Army. As a result, they were indistinguishable from the Ming Army.

However, it was difficult for Meng Ruhu and Dong Yongwen's men to join up with the other two armies in a short period of time. They were undergoing the test of Jiannu's cavalry and archery. Fortunately, some soldiers had prepared wooden shields to deal with Jiannu's cavalry and archery.

This kind of wooden shield is a wooden board with two layers of cowhide nailed on it. Although it has no defense against artillery and muskets, it can still barely block the shooting of bows and arrows.

Jian Nu fired arrows and hit their wooden shields with loud noises. Soon the wooden shields were filled with arrows, and a small number of arrows penetrated the wooden shields. But they did not harm the soldiers.

Those Ming soldiers who did not have wooden shields to block their bodies were hit by arrows one after another, and many people fell on the way to charge. Later, even the Ming soldiers with shields to protect themselves suffered casualties, and their horses were hit by arrows and fell down.

Although they suffered many casualties, the two Ming armies, led by their generals, still attacked Jiannu and gradually approached Jiannu's cavalry and archery position.

Just like the formation of the Protectorate Army, once the opponent approaches, they must install bayonets and engage in hand-to-hand combat. The same is true for mounted archery. Bows and arrows will also be ineffective if the distance is too close. Jiannu can only give up bows and arrows and slash with knives.

The Jiannu were not afraid of melee combat. Instead, they preferred the feeling of killing people with knives. However, there were too many Ming soldiers this time, so it was best to use bows and arrows to kill a group of them.

As the war progressed, Abatai's face became increasingly ugly. If the Ming army were as brave as today, the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty would have no chance of entering the pass to plunder. Once they entered the pass, they would probably be strangled by millions of Ming troops.

Abatai believes that today the Ming troops in front of them must be taught a profound lesson, so that they can once again become the five scum of war and be defeated in one strike. Only in this way can the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty wreak havoc in the Daming Pass without restraint.

It's a shame that Azig was so shameless, his consort Yang Guli risked his life, and the Zhenghongqi led by Zhiji also suffered heavy casualties, but Azig has been standing still. Isn't he worried about being punished by the emperor when he returns?

Thinking of this, Abatai decided to divide his forces and fight. They could not all be mixed together. As long as one Ming army was defeated, the other Ming armies would definitely be defeated.

"Come here, pass Ben Beile's order. Three Niulu will go to support Habilib Zhenzhenglan Banner. Six Niulu will block the Ming army on the right wing. The remaining eight Niulu will follow Benbeile and kill all the Ming dog reinforcements on the left.

Act now!”

Abatai gave an order, and the ten thousand Jiannu immediately divided their troops into three groups to attack the Ming army. The six thousand and eight Manchurian banners, with their red flags roaring strangely, immediately attacked each group of Ming troops.

Almost all the Manchurian soldiers under the Zhenghong Banner wore three layers of armor, and there were more than 500 white-armored soldiers among them. They charged into the Ming army's formation almost one by one, and no one could stop them alone.

Liu Gui was the bannerman of the Shanxi Army and was considered a fierce man in the Shanxi Army. He had just killed several Eight Banners men when he was targeted by a white-armored soldier. The white-armored soldier held a pair of big axes and attacked Liu Gui.

Liu Gui showed no sign of weakness. He had already killed more than a dozen Tatars with a spear in his hand. When he saw the white-armored soldiers of Jiannu rushing towards him, he thrust his spear into the throat of the white-armored soldiers. This part was the easiest to kill those in heavy armor.

Build slaves.

But the left ax of the white-armored soldier of Jiannu blocked Liu Gui's spear, and the ax of his right hand suddenly looked at Liu Gui's neck. Liu Gui immediately drew his gun and took two steps back, and then the spear suddenly stabbed the white-armored soldier of Jiannu in the lower abdomen.

"Dang Cang..."

The tip of the spear was immediately blocked by the iron armor of Jiannu's white-armored soldier and did not cause any harm to Jiannu. The white-armored soldier only felt a burst of pain.

"Die the bright dog!"

The white-armored soldiers of Jiannu were furious and swung their double axes at Liu Gui. Liu Gui couldn't dodge and had to use the barrel of his gun as a big ax:

"Click..."

The barrel of the gun was split in half by an ax from the white-armored soldier of Jiannu. Liu Gui only had half of the gun handle left in his hand. Seeing that the situation was not going well, Liu Gui turned around and ran away. He was going to find a convenient weapon to fight the white-armored soldier of Jiannu again.

But Jiannu's white-armored soldier snorted coldly and suddenly threw a big ax at Liu Gui. Liu Gui couldn't dodge and was hit by the axe, and fell forward on his back.

The white-armored soldiers of Jiannu saw the ax deeply embedded in Liu Gui's back, and knew that Liu Gui was bound to die, so he prepared to step forward and pull out the big ax from Liu Gui's back.

"Death to the slaves!"

At this time, two Ming soldiers raised their swords to kill the white-armored soldiers of Jiannu in order to save the general flag. The white-armored soldiers of Jiannu raised their one-handed axes and chopped down the two Ming soldiers effortlessly.

"court death!"

After killing two Ming soldiers, the white-armored Jiannu soldiers snorted, then bent down and pulled out the big ax from Liu Gui's back, and raised the ax to chop off Liu Gui's head.

Suddenly Liu Gui used his last breath to jump up from the ground, plunged an iron plate with his name in his hand into the throat of the white-armored soldier of Jiannu, and then fell to the ground and passed away completely.

Jiannu Baijia thought that Liu Gui was dead, so he was not prepared at all. However, he was attacked by the dying Liu Gui in a sneak attack. Looking at the fallen Liu Gui, Jiannu slowly fell down with a look of horror in his eyes.

At this time, another Ming army quickly stepped forward and chopped off the head of the white-armored Jiannu soldier. This head was worth at least fifty taels of silver. If he could survive, he was prepared to give half of the silver to the general's family.

But before he could turn around, a spear suddenly pierced his back...

Everywhere on the battlefield, life-and-death fighting was going on. The four generals of the Ming Dynasty had not seen battle for many years, but today they were equally bloody and bravely killing Jiannu.

There was blood spray everywhere outside Miyun City, including the blood of Jiannu and the Ming army. The ground was already flowing into rivers of blood. At least 10,000 people on both sides had been hacked to death...

The total number of troops of the four Ming armies exceeds 40,000, and the total number of Jiannu troops is about 10,000. Under normal circumstances, the Ming army can take advantage of their numerical advantage to defeat Jiannu.

But today's Ming army has not been trained for many years, and there are many old and weak soldiers among them. Their combat effectiveness is low and their equipment is poor. The soldiers wearing triple armor are all elite servants of the general army, and their number does not exceed 500.

Almost all the Manchu soldiers of the Eight Banners of Jiannu were wearing two layers of armor, and the white-armored soldiers were even wearing three layers of armor. They were all like human tanks, and they were in their prime and experienced hundreds of battles.

At first, the Ming army relied on its high morale to catch Jiannu off guard. However, as the war progressed, Jiannu's advantage quickly came into play and dealt a heavy blow to the Ming army.

Not to mention the 40,000 Ming army, even the 60,000 Ming army with such fighting strength would be crippled by the 10,000 soldiers of the Eight Banners, not to mention that most of the soldiers who could fight had already caused a lot of casualties due to being the first to charge.

The four general soldiers came together under the protection of their personal guards. They were already covered in blood. Only he knew whether it was his own blood or the blood of the slaves.

Seeing the heavy casualties among the Shanhaiguan soldiers, Zu Dale was the first to speak:
