Chapter two thousand and four
A team of Zhengbai Banners stopped more than a dozen Eight Banners soldiers who had retreated from the front.
Dorgon rode a horse to the fleeing flag soldiers and asked with a cold face: "Look at your virtues, I call myself the Eight Banners Warriors, and I am embarrassed to the Zhengbai Banner."
Looking at the group of Eight Banners soldiers who were abandoned in front of him, he was so angry that he didn't fight.
"Fourteen Bell, it's Nikan. Nikan on the island has been called." One of the Eight Banners soldiers who fled back pointed his finger behind him and said with a sad face.
Dorgon scolded, "As the warriors of Zhengbai Banner, you have become this virtue just because a few Nikans have killed him ashore. The face of Zhengbai Banner has been thrown away by you."
"The fourteen Beile is not a slave who wants to escape back. It is because Nikan brought a large number of muskets. With the shelling at sea, the slaves can't stop them!" The Eight Banners soldiers who fled back kept complaining.
Dorgon said coldly: "Benbeile has no time to listen to your nonsense. Take your weapons and kill you with Benbeile. This is your atonement."
As he said that, he looked at the Eight Banners soldiers brought behind him and said, "Give them weapons."
The Eight Banners soldiers asked for weapons from the Han Dynasty Aha and handed them over to the dozen Eight Banners soldiers who fled back.
"My sons, the opportunity to avenge the twelve Bellers has come, and follow Benbeile to kill the Nikans in front of him." Dorgon knocked his legs and activated his war horse to rush out.
Following closely behind were the fifteenth Bellodordor and several Zhengbai Banner Guards responsible for protecting them.
kill!
Hundreds of Eight Banners soldiers and hundreds of Han people Aha followed behind and rushed towards the shore.
The sound of cannons on the river bank had stopped, and ships were constantly docking on the sea, and soldiers with the tiger flag were transported to land on the shore on this side of the Iron Mountain.
As more and more soldiers came to the shore, soon the side of the shore was filled with tiger-shaped flag soldiers holding muskets.
"Entertain, the slave thief is here." The outpost ran back to deliver the letter.
Xing Chaoxi stood on a high place, picked up the monocular lens in his hand and looked towards the direction of Tieshan Camp.
From the monocular, he saw a Eight Banners soldier with less than a thousand people rushing towards the shore.
"Send the order and prepare to face the enemy." Xing Chaoxi explained.
The messenger ran to convey the order.
A team of more than 300 soldiers appeared in advance on the path that the Eight Banners soldiers must pass.
There are two such combat troops behind the left and right sides, and the three teams have opened up their formation on the only road on the shore.
The soldiers were armed with a musket and five tiger squat cannons were placed on both wings. Due to the inconvenience of carrying, the four-pound cannons on the island were not brought over.
The warrior team standing in the front were veterans who followed Xing Chaoxi from Dayuan Island, and the two warrior teams on the left and right were new soldiers trained on Pi Island with veterans as the backbone.
The muskets used by the recruits were transported from other places through sea boats.
"Don't be nervous, just like during training. Listen to the commanders of their respective teams. When will the commanders order the guns be fired? You are firing the guns, don't rush to fire. After firing the guns, give yourself fire again like during training.
Gun loading.”
In the new recruits, officers in the army kept appeaseing the new recruits and eliminating the new recruits' tension.
The teams of both sides soon appeared in the eyes of their respective soldiers.
"Fourth Brother, these Nikans are fools! They are actually waiting here for us to kill." Duoduo looked at the tiger-shaped flag soldiers who were still moving in front of him and grinned.
"Don't be careless, this should be the Nikan army." Dorgon finally had more knowledge than Dodot, and knew that the Han people liked to form a battle formation when the two armies were facing each other.
Duoduo said disdainfully: "Nikan's military formations are all vague. Ama has dealt with too many things before. Today, Benbeile also came to defeat the enemy. Let's go!"
After the words came, he activated the horse to rush forward.
"Come on." Dorgon shouted, and followed Duoduo closely by himself.
After both sides approached, both of them dismounted and took the longbow and feather arrow from the horse's back.
The other Eight Banners soldiers riding horses also picked up their bows and arrows, just like the two of them.
Unlike Mongolian cavalry, the Eight Banners soldiers directly rely on their cavalry bows to attack the enemy on their backs. The Eight Banners soldiers use longer bows with greater strength and must dismount and fight first in every battle.
Dorgon walked forward a few steps, hung a feather arrow on the bowstring, aiming the arrow at a tiger-shaped flag soldier in front of him, glanced a few times, then loosened the fingers of the feather arrow.
With a whoosh, the arrow shot out.
An arrow shot away the felt hat on the head of the tiger-shaped warrior on the opposite side.
Duoduo was less powerful. Although his arrow shot out, he failed to hit it and landed on the ground early.
Although the other Eight Banners archers also shot arrows in their hands, they did not hit many targets. More arrows were shot in a crooked manner or missed. The distance between the two sides was too far, like Dorgon hitting the enemy with an arrow.
There are not many sharpshooters with felt hats on their heads.
"Heavy armor came forward, the archer followed behind and was shooting arrows." Dorgon ordered.
In the battle between the Eight Banners, the chariots are often scattered in front of the car, and the heavy armored soldiers are following behind the car, and the archer hides behind the car, approaching within twenty steps of the Ming army, and even closer to shoot the arrows in his hand.
This will cause the greatest damage to the Ming army, and at the same time make up for the problem of insufficient archers' head accuracy.
More than twenty Eight Banners soldiers wearing double or three-layer armor walked at the front of the team, and the Eight Banners soldiers' archers followed behind and advanced forward.
At the same time, several war soldiers with the tiger flag also approached the Eight Banners soldiers.
However, because the war soldiers on the tiger flag need to maintain their formation, the speed ahead was not fast, far from the Eight Banners soldiers on the opposite side, and soon appeared within fifty steps.
"Fourth Brother, it's OK." Duoduo said to Dorgon beside him.
This was the first time he and Dorgon led troops alone to fight the enemy. It was less than a few dozen steps away from the enemy. His fingers that were nervously pinching on the longbow turned pale because he tried too hard.
"At closer." Dorgon was much more stable than Dodo.
When facing Nikan's team, he felt that he was not afraid at all when he was close, and he had never seen the Ming army's muskets. With a crackling sound, he caused only a few casualties to the flag soldiers.
"You can't get closer. Nikan on the opposite side has not fired the gun yet." Duoduo said nervously.
Having seen Ama deal with the Ming army's muskets, he felt something was wrong.
The Nikan team in front of him had long ignored the orders and fired the musket in his hand. However, the Nikan in front of him did not fire the gun, which made him alert.
Although the Eight Banners soldiers do not care about the Ming army's muskets, when they get close, the muskets will still cause great damage to the Eight Banners soldiers.
