Chapter 88 Face to face with the enemy
The Jiannu charged fiercely, and the Ming army fought from a high position, but the number of Jiannu was over ten thousand after all. They threw down some corpses and then approached the Ming army.
The Ming army did not fight Jiannu head-on. When they saw them rushing forward, they immediately threw a few grenades.
Jiannu now has a psychological shadow on things that can explode. He immediately retreated when the grenade exploded. The Ming army took the opportunity to leave quickly.
After the grenade exploded, Jiannu immediately rushed forward again, and this time he easily reached the hiding place of the Ming army, but not a single Ming army member was seen.
The East Palace Guards were divided into five detachments to fight back, just like a piece of brown sugar that kept pestering Jiannu, leaving Jiannu in a dilemma and impatient, and his father-in-law Yang Guli became furious.
If it were on flat ground, Yangguli would have ordered the army to charge with all its strength, but in the mountainous area his Eight Banners Army were all wearing heavy armor and had no chance to use it.
Going back and forth like this for a long time, the slaves were exhausted from the torture and lost more than 2,000 people.
Yangu Li was about to withdraw his troops and stop playing, when suddenly a voice came:
"Yanguli, doesn't Jiannu claim to be invincible in the field? You retreat to an open place, and grandpa will give you a field battle. If you don't dare to fight, you will be the grandson..."
Just kidding, Yangu Li was so frustrated that he wanted to have a good fight.
He believed that even if 50,000 Ming troops stood opposite them, Zhenghuang Banner could kill them and defeat them.
Yangguli was overjoyed and shouted hurriedly:
"Okay, whoever doesn't fight in the field is the grandson. Send the order and retreat three miles to make way for the grandson!"
Yang Guli gave the order, and Jiannu immediately retreated happily. They really didn't want to hide and seek with the Ming army. They couldn't stand this kind of black gun shooting.
"boom……"
A signal bomb suddenly exploded in the air, and four detachments of the East Palace Guards quickly moved closer to the crown prince.
After gathering together, Zhu Cihong looked at these capable subordinates and asked:
"Each team reports the number of casualties!"
Zhou Yuji immediately saluted:
"Your Highness, a total of sixty-five people from the four detachments were hit by arrows. They are all slightly injured and can continue to fight!"
Zhu Cixi nodded:
"Soldiers, thank you for your hard work. In order to prevent Jiannu from hiding in Changping, I have decided to have a decisive battle with Jiannu. Are you confident that the Tatars will be defeated?"
The soldiers immediately shouted in unison:
"have"
Zhu Cixiang's eyes suddenly turned cold and said:
"Okay, when the battle begins, you must be calm and resolute in obeying the command. If the superior general dies in battle, the next superior officer will immediately take over command of the battle.
If anyone violates military discipline, kill them on the spot. This battle will end perfectly. I will take you back to the city to receive rewards and rest for a few days!"
"Here"
"Kill the slaves to protect the family and the country..."
There was an open space when the Jiannu army retreated three miles. Although it was not very wide, the battle of more than 10,000 people could still be spread out.
Yangguli looked back at the invincible teacher behind him and said:
"Every army, immediately count your troops and prepare for battle!"
"twitter"
After counting, each army reported its losses to Yanguli.
The Mongolian army suffered 1,500 casualties, the Han army suffered 2,800 casualties, and the Jian slaves suffered 200 casualties...
Yangguli's face turned green when he heard the number of casualties under his command. More than 3,000 cannon fodder were killed in the battle.
Although there are still more than a thousand people alive, they are still half dead and have lost their combat effectiveness.
Zhenghuang Banner followed the Mongolian and Han troops to command and supervise the formation, but he was also killed by black guns, killing more than a hundred people.
It has to be said that the Ming army's style of play was so dirty that Jiannu could not adapt to it at all. The 13,000 men and horses now lost nearly 5,000 of their combat effectiveness.
Finally, it was time to fight on the battlefield, and Yangguli vowed that the Ming army would be killed without a single corpse.
Zhu Cixiang led the East Palace Guards down the mountain calmly. He raised his telescope to see where Jiannu was, and then ordered the guards to form an array on a flat ground.
Although the place he chose was a large piece of flat land, the Jiannu army could still charge from the opposite side.
However, the two sides were not wide and could only accommodate a dozen horses charging. It would be very difficult for Jiannu to disperse and besiege the East Palace Guards.
Zhou Yuji looked around and smiled:
"Your Highness, this place is a good choice. I wonder if Jiannu is willing to fight here?"
Zhu Cixiang smiled faintly:
"Jiannu is eager to fight us head-on. As long as the guards come out, they have no choice."
After Zhu Cixiang finished speaking, he called out a general flag:
"Go and inform Sun Tzu that you can attack at any time."
"Here"
Li Jun, the commander-in-chief, took the order and immediately rode off.
Yangguli was riding on a tall horse, keeping his eyes on the mountain. He wanted to see how many men and horses the Ming army had!
But after watching for a long time and not seeing a single figure, he once suspected that the Ming army was playing tricks on the Qing army.
Suddenly someone pointed his finger in another direction and said:
"Look, brother-in-law, a Ming army is coming."
Yangu Li hurriedly turned around and saw a fast horse galloping towards him.
Li Jun reined in his horse about 300 steps in front of Jiannu:
"My master has been waiting for me for a long time. If I don't go, I will be a grandson..."
Li Jun originally wanted to curse Yang Guli, so he added a falsehood to the original words, but when he said the words, he felt something was wrong.
When the battle report arrived, Li Jun spurred his horse and ran away. On the way back, he remembered where he had made a mistake.
If Yangguli didn't dare to go, wouldn't the Crown Prince become a tortoise...
Jiannu did not have a telescope, and the East Palace Guards did not fly any flags, so Yanguli did not notice the Ming army coming down the mountain.
Hearing that the Ming army was waiting for his grandson to fight, Yangguli immediately drew his sword and pointed in the air:
"The Han army is in front, the Mongolian army is behind, and the Eight Banners are pressing forward. Charge and kill the Guangming Dog!"
The four thousand Han troops were still cannon fodder for the slaves. After receiving Yangguli's order, they immediately rushed towards the location of the Ming army.
Turning around a forest, I immediately saw a Ming army appearing in the open space in front of me. The Han army stopped and attacked directly.
The Mongolian army also had more than two thousand cavalry, and they followed closely behind the Han army. Behind the two armies were the slave formation supervisors.
After leaving the city, they either made ambushes or sneak attacks. Today was the first time that the entire team faced off against the Jian Nu. When they saw the Jian Nu army on the opposite side charging towards them in a dark mass, the East Palace Guards not only did not panic but were very excited.
They held on to their loaded rifles, ready to shoot the incoming slaves at any time.
When the Qing army rushed three hundred steps in front of the Ming army's formation, the East Palace Guards slowly raised their rifles.
But Zhu Cixiang did not order to fire, and he did not nod to Zhou Yuji until the Qing army entered 150 meters.
Zhou Yuji waved the flag in his hand:
"shot!"
This time the Ming army still attacked in four stages, with 250 people in a row in front and 50 people on each side for defense.
"Bang bang..."
Following Zhou Yuji's order, more than two hundred rifled guns in the first row spurted out fury.
"Puff..."
More than a hundred Han troops rushed to the front and fell down with the sound of gunfire in a cooperative manner.
After the first row of soldiers fired, they immediately retreated to reload ammunition. The second row of gunmen stepped forward and pulled the trigger. Then the third row and the fourth row took turns to shoot, and then it was the first row's turn to fire...
"Bang bang bang..."
Four rows of muskets fired continuously, and the Qing army's cannon fodder fell one after another...
The harder the Qing army charged, the faster they fell. Mini bombs formed a barrage in front of the Qing army, making them pay a heavy price for every step they took... I like the Ming Dynasty, and the heyday began with the prince supervising the country. Please collect it: (
