Ming Taizi's Total War

Chapter 138
Niu Luzhang Jing didn't stay in a daze for a long time, but he was knocked down by the plate armor knight who came suddenly, but he was lucky, because he was protected by his own soldiers, so the two-handed sword didn't cut on him.

"Pfft, these guys are too fierce, and their mounts are really better than Jialaer." Niu Luzhangjing said to himself.

The mounts of the plate armor knights are of course good. There are good horses in Europe, and the transportation is convenient. You can get good horses from all over Europe and East Asia to breed stronger horses.

Furthermore, from the perspective of political status, military status, and economic status, these knights are similar to Jialazhangjing, so the horses they ride are naturally better than them.

It's a pity that before Niu Luzhangjing could sigh a few more words, a [-]-battalion cavalry soldier who followed closely behind the plate armor knight cut his neck with a machete and killed him.

The Eight Banners Army stopped on the official road, and suddenly encountered front and rear attacks, especially from the rear. From time to time, there were sounds of people turning their backs and horses neighing.

For a moment, these experienced Eight Banners soldiers felt fearful, because they didn't know what the current situation was like. In the middle of the marching team, there were people whispering everywhere who didn't know what happened.

The team on the official road is very narrow and long. Tong Mengchun's thousands of people and more than 1 horses can form a team that is two or three miles long. Therefore, although the battle has already started, most people don't know what happened. matter.

"Brother, what's going on? We won't be defeated. Do you want to run away? This place is not far from Huaiqing. We travel day and night. I guess we can reach Suqin in a day." A bearded Eight Banners vest Speaking blunt Manchurian to Zhang Jing, a Niu Lu next to him.

This Niu Luzhang Jing was none other than Echina who was the first to flee by the Yellow River.

"I don't know either. There is no news from above. We can only wait here." Ezina said.

It's okay to say that you can't beat the enemy on the battlefield, and everyone has retreated. The law does not blame everyone, and it is impossible for the commander to tell you what to do with you. After all, the Eight Banners are not the Ming army.

Although the ranks are distinct, they are still reasonable. Soldiers also have individual treatment here.

But if you suddenly run away while marching and stopping at the same place, it will be a serious crime. This kind of behavior is more shameful than running away from the battle. If you are caught back, if you have no relationship with the superiors, you will most likely be worse than dead.

Burying alive, quartering the body with five horses, execution by lingchi, hanging, drowning, and beheading the capital are considered the lightest.

"I heard the sound of a large group of horses trampling on the ground. It must not be our people, it must be those Han people."

"Brother, I think we are in danger this time."

"Swallow your heart to your stomach. I'm not that stubborn idiot. I will definitely save your life and that of my Echina." Echina promised his brother road.

"Well, I believe you. Ever since I was arrested, you have been the only one who has treated me well. Even if I die today, I will let you live." Geshimu said very moved.

The Jurchens are divided into several parts, mainly Jianzhou Jurchens and Haixi Jurchens. Nurhaci is the Jianzhou Jurchens. After he established the Later Jin Dynasty, the Jurchens of the Later Jin Dynasty mainly consisted of these two parts.

But the number of these Jurchens was so small that there were no Eight Banners at all in the beginning, but Four Banners.

In addition, the Jurchens began to fight the Ming Dynasty from the end of the sixteenth century until the middle of the seventeenth century, and a large number of people were lost in the war for almost one year.

Now that the Mite Qing has entered the customs, all men under the age of 16 and over the age of 10 are conscripted, but the scale of the Manchu Eight Banners is maintained at [-].

In addition, Mite Qinghuan went to the northern lands from time to time to look for raw Jurchens and wild Jurchens, and plundered them from the tribe as soldiers to supplement his army.

Ge Shimu is such a person, so his Jurchen language is not so fluent. After all, he and Jianzhou Jurchen are not at all alike.

The gap between their savage Jurchen and Jianzhou Jurchen is like the gap between Central Plains people and Lingnan people.

While Geshimu and Eqina were talking, the Eight Banners cavalry near them began to commotion and circled around.

"They are the horse archers of the Ming Army. The Ming Army is here."

Zhu Cihong's three thousand cavalry battalions distributed on both wings were discovered by the Eight Banners soldiers near Eqina.

"Not good, the Han people are trying to surround us." Echina is indeed a person who can be called Niu Luzhangjing.

His tactical thinking was very quick. After seeing the three thousand battalions of cavalry on the two wings, he immediately understood Zhu Cihong's intentions.

However, Zhu Cihong did not have any calculations in doing this. He was a conspiracy. Although his cavalry was not as large as that of the Eight Banners, he occupied a favorable location and commanded more smoothly.

And Tong Mengchun was at the front of the team, unable to take care of the head and tail, so they could only fight on their own. At this time, even if the Eight Banners soldiers had the buff of unlimited bows and arrows, it was impossible to defeat Zhu Cihong.

The most terrible thing on the battlefield is this situation. If your command is not effective, even a million troops will be of no use. If your command is not effective but the other party's command is very flexible, then you will almost become a person who can only be beaten. of sandbags.

"Brothers, the Han people want to surround us to death here. We can't just wait for death. Hurry up and kill me. Let's break the siege of the Han people." Echina didn't say that he wanted to escape or leave, but said that he wanted to take the initiative .

Because he knew that if he dared to say that, not many people would follow him. Only by doing so could he attract the majority of people to follow him.

On the battlefield, there is no doubt that more people are better than fewer.

"Niu Lu Zhang Jing is right, let's fight out." Ge Shimu and Ejina had the closest relationship, and they had a secret discussion just now.

So at this time, Echina raised his arms and shouted, and Ge Shimu stood up and responded first.

He was born as a savage Jurchen, and there are many people like him. Otherwise, how could the Qing Dynasty have fought against the Ming Dynasty and still maintained the Eight Banners system? .

Geshimu was quite prestigious among the barbarian Jurchens, and when he responded, those Eight Banners Warriors who were in the same Niulu as him or not in the same Niulu immediately decided to follow Ejina together.

Echina knew that his chance had come, so he rode his horse across the ditch and ran to the north side of the official road, but he dared not go south.

Because he couldn't be sure where the Han ships had gone. If the Yellow River was full of Han ships, there must be a lot of Han troops on the north bank of the Yellow River. Wouldn't it be a trap for him to go south?
