Chapter 174 Chang Yuchun: Chang Ge pointed out! Killing is coming! (6.6K requests for subscription!)(2/3)
Nurhachi was escorted by his white-armored Bagara (Eight Banners Guards). To ensure safety, he was in the second echelon of the cavalry.
Here is a brief introduction to the strength of the Eight Banners in the Nurhachi era. It was not like the heavy armored cavalry flying all over the sky in the Huang Taiji era.
It is a mixture of infantry and cavalry, both light and heavy infantry and light and heavy cavalry, with the majority of them being infantry.
After all, Nurhaci has not yet defeated the Mongols, and the Ming Dynasty has cut off the border trade of the Jurchens. The ginseng dug cannot be sold or exchanged for money.
And without money, naturally one cannot afford to buy so many horses.
As for the white-armored Baya La, these were the elite men selected by Nurhachi from the cavalry and organized into the Eight Banners Guards.
This Eight Banners Guards was also the elite assault force that Nurhachi and later Huang Taiji relied on most. In a few years, Obai, who was known as the "No. 1 Warrior in Manchuria", came from the Eight Banners Guards.
For example, at this moment, the main force of the Jin army is on its way back to the capital, with the cavalry in front and the infantry behind. The marches were separated by at least half an hour.
This is also understandable. Naturally, a human's two legs cannot outrun a horse's legs, even if Bolt comes.
"With this small force, they want to cut off our army's retreat. They are wishful thinking. The Ming army along the way is simply asking for self-humiliation and being a clown."
The person who said this was Guarjia Fei Yingdong, one of the five ministers.
The most powerful general under Nurhachi, who is known as the enemy of ten thousand people, is galloping next to Nurhachi.
With a sneer and pride in his eyes, he was obviously very confident in his sword. After all, he was very famous when he followed Nurhaci to conquer various Jurchen tribes.
"Great Khan, let me kill this person."
The enemy Guarjia Fei Yingdong took the initiative to ask for a fight.
"Hmm."
Nurhaci nodded and agreed.
Cavalry charge is different from other types of combat, especially this small group of cavalry.
The leader is the soul of the cavalry. As long as the leader is killed in formation, the cavalry can basically be completely eaten.
"Take your orders!"
Gualja Fei Yingdong clamped the horse's belly fiercely, stepped off the horse, the speed increased suddenly, and rushed from the second echelon to the first echelon. Gualja held a long knife and led the charge.
His eyes were firmly fixed on the red horse and black general at the forefront of the Ming army.
At this moment, zoom out far away.
It can be seen that the cavalry of the two armies maintained their respective square formations and charged.
At the front of their respective charging formations, with the morning sun shining and goose feathers falling in the snow, two fast horses were approaching at extremely fast speeds.
One hundred feet.
Thirty feet.
Ten feet.
Finally, at the moment when these two fast horses passed by each other.
Under the silhouette of the morning light, a golden rat-braided human head with wide eyes can be seen, facing the spurting blood, leaping several feet high, and the shocked Jin Army cavalry forwards all suddenly reined in their horses.
"Kill!"
Chang Yuchun saw blood in his hands without stopping at all.
Moving like clouds and flowing water, taking the lead, the Yin Hong horse jumped up and took the lead into the stunned Jin Army formation.
The three thousand Liaodong cavalry behind him were like gluttonous wild wolves that had been hungry for half a month. They howled and charged into the formation, like a sharp sword piercing the Jin army's formation, forcibly cutting it into pieces.
In half.
Every time he rides, he keeps slashing wildly, with a completely desperate attitude.
Pat.
Gualja Fei Yingdong’s head fell to the ground and was trampled into pulp by the hooves of the galloping horses.
This Jurchen who faced thousands of enemies probably never imagined that after spending his whole life in the Northeast, he would end up like this.
In one round, the head flew off.
Family members, who understands?!
"Protect Father Khan!"
Big Belle Daishan’s voice started up.
Nurhachi, who was in the second echelon, saw with his own eyes that the first fierce general under his command was killed by the formation, and his pupils suddenly shrank.
Then he saw his cavalry phalanx being cut and scattered like pieces of paper, and his eyes were filled with disbelief.
The Eight Banners Guards quickly set up a defensive formation and surrounded Nurhachi in circles.
The tens of thousands of ordinary Eight Banners cavalry outside were experiencing a fight that was like purgatory. These tens of thousands of Jin cavalry were actually chased and slashed by three thousand cavalry.
This scene is simply too outrageous.
Not to mention Chang Yuchun and Lan Yu, two fierce men who rarely come together in hundreds of years, they fell in love with two at once.
Let’s talk about these three thousand Liaodong cavalry.
After the bloody battle at the Biti Pavilion in Korea, the Liaodong cavalry showed Xiaozhi what Ming cavalry was. From then on, he never dared to fight with the Ming Dynasty in the field again, which directly caused a psychological shadow.
"Liaodong Iron Cavalry."
Nurhaci was in the middle of the Eight Banners Guards, staring at the cavalry crisscrossing his army, with a familiar look in his eyes.
When he was a slave in the Li family, he personally stayed in the Liaodong cavalry for a long time, and carefully studied the training and tactics of the Liaodong cavalry, and even the equipment and equipment, including all aspects of the details, all using small
The notebook records everything clearly.
The Eight Banners Guards currently guarding him, the most elite cavalry of the Later Jin Dynasty, were actually built by Nurhachi based on the Liaodong Iron Cavalry.
"Who is this person?!"
Nurhachi's eyes focused on the red lightning.
Wherever this person passed, the heads of the Jurchen cavalry were harvested like grass.
And the cavalry who followed him were all fearless in killing the enemy. Even if one of their arms was broken, they never stopped charging with their hooves or stopped waving the saber in their other hand.
This kind of crazy toughness makes even the Jurchen cavalry who hunt all year round feel trembling in their hearts when they look at it.
Let me ask you, how do you feel when you see a person with a broken hand, and the broken hand is still bleeding like crazy, but he still has red eyes, roaring and riding towards you with a knife?
As the saying goes, those who rush are afraid of being stunned, those who are stunned are afraid of being sideways, and those who are sideways are afraid of losing their lives.
The current three thousand cavalry are a group of lifeless head harvesters.
"Father, we must retreat. If we don't leave, it will be too late."
Beside Nurhachi, Dabeile Daishan looked very anxious.
Because the opponent's goal is obviously not to annihilate the ordinary Jurchen cavalry, but Nurhaci.
The most elite Eight Banners guard troops surrounded Nurhachi, but despite this, under Chang Yuchun's rapid impact, he was almost rushed out of the gap several times.
Once the gap is opened, it means that Nurhachi has completely lost the opportunity to escape.
It will not be up to Nurhaci to decide whether to run or not.
Nurhachi frowned and gritted his teeth.
During his military life, he created the foundation of Dajin and personally built the Eight Banners Army, which spanned the Northeast.
He never expected that in this head-to-head battle, he would be defeated so quickly and in such an incredible way. With just one charge, his own army was on the verge of collapse.
However, if you think about it, you can actually understand it.
The rise of Nurhachi, especially the process of unifying the Jurchen tribes, was so smooth that there were basically no hard bones to crack.
After all, when Li Chengliang was guarding Liaodong, all Jurchen tribes were basically beaten to death by Li Chengliang, and Nurhachi had Li Chengliang give money and people to support him, so it was naturally smooth sailing for the unification.
And after Li Chengliang stepped down, the entire Liaodong was in a terrible state from the inside out, and eight Liaodong generals were replaced in ten years.
Except for the Liaodong cavalry which still retains some combat power, the Liaodong soldiers who once roamed outside the pass are basically no more than paper. They are unable to suppress Nurhaci, who has become a climate.
It is precisely because the process of rising is too smooth, and it is precisely because the Eight Banners soldiers are invincible in the Northeast.
So much so that Nurhaci has always been confident that the Eight Banners Army he personally built has become the strongest army in the world in terms of head-on confrontation.
Relying on the Eight Banners soldiers in your hands, you can run rampant across the world without defeat.
It can only be said that once people have been comfortable for too long, they will naturally lower their requirements.
In troubled times, if you look up and see people eating people everywhere, Nurhachi’s Eight Banners soldiers may not be enough to see them.
The simplest example is that during the Three Kingdoms period, while Boss Cao was busy grabbing territory, he was able to subdue the Huns who were grazing in the north with a little effort.
The same is true in other times of trouble.
Except for thieves like Shi Jingtang who had connections with foreign countries, during the troubled times in the Central Plains, the nomads did not take advantage of the situation, because there was no way to take advantage of it.
You guys who are herding sheep on the grassland are tough, but the Central Plains soldiers in troubled times are not tough.
That's called killing people without blinking an eye, eating people without spitting out their bones.
