Chapter 974 Who says that the barbarians do not know the soldiers

When the two armies were fighting, the army faced a head-on decisive battle, and sent partial divisions to attack the enemy's flanks. In a sudden state, it was easy to defeat the enemy and received miraculous effects. After all, the army was deploying its formation, and the flanks were the most difficult side to defend.

Although the Donglu Jurchens fought resolutely this time, they fought with less and more. If they wanted to have a miracle turn, they had to use some unexpected tactics.

Li Chengliang has been a general for many years and also understood why the Jurchens were blocked by the news of the stalwarts. They must have failed to get too much news. When they arrived on the battlefield, they caught them off guard. The Jurchens claimed that it was more than 10,000. In the current situation, they must have extra power.

The Liaozhen army was prepared for a long time. The Jurchens appeared, and the infantry on the flanks of Liaozhen immediately "dispersed", but the collapse was orderly, and the enemy cavalry allowed to rush in.

After the Eastern Jurchen cavalry rushed into the formation, the Ming army surrounded the firearms and bows and arrows, and fired together, such as three-eyed guns, thunder guns, bird guns, tiger squat cannons, etc., opened fire together.

Such firearms are not very useful in actual combat. The Ming army cast them often shoots randomly outside the range. When the enemy approaches, they either use up all ammunition or the barrel heats up. However, when the distance is close, there will always be killing. The Ming army is prepared this time and they are all shooting within the range.

For a moment, the firearms were ringing and gunpowder smoke filled the fire, and the shooting effect was excellent. The cavalry of the Jianzhou Juzhen fell off the horse screamed and screamed. The horses were also frightened and moved in the smoke and noise, and they fell off the horse and trampled on it.

But after all, the barbarian was a barbarian. After suffering such a big loss, the whole group of people could change directions on the spot, but they still gathered together and rushed out.

From the start of the war to the present, the fortifications of the offense and defense of the Jurchens have not made any profit. Instead, they have the greatest damage in the offense and defense of the flanks. The Jurchens suddenly suffered more than 400 casualties. Looking at their appearance, at least two Niulu died.

The news was immediately ordered by Li Chengliang to inform the entire army. The morale of the Liao Town army was greatly boosted, and the Jurchens were obviously unable to suppress it. It can be seen that they pressed their treasures on this flank attack. This time, it would be a big blow.

The so-called trapped beast fighting should describe this state. The Jurchen soldiers guarding the camp exerted force and fought back the attacking Ming army, then opened the camp gate, and a team of more than 4,000 people rushed out at once.

In the judgment of Liao Town, his own army came. The East Guard Jurchens had to be careful not to say that they would be dispersed, and they dared not make any rash moves. Unexpectedly, the other party really dared to fight on the front battlefield.

The people around the team of more than 4,000 people were all wearing cotton armor or chain mail, and the people inside were also wearing pigskin armor, with big swords and spears in their hands. It can be seen that they were elite infantrymen in Jianzhou Jurchens. Their purpose of rushing out was very clear, that is, the central army of Li Chengliang, the general general of Liao Town.

In this era, commanders can only rely on visual observations to observe the situation of the battle, and reports from all over the place cannot be used as a direct reference. Therefore, the generals of the first army are often very close to the front line, and Li Chengliang is actually about 500 steps away from the edge of the Jurchen fortifications.

The Jurchen team that rushed out was intended to both sides to understand that it would be best to destroy the central army where Li Chengliang was. If it could not be done, it would be best to force Li Chengliang to retreat. If the general flag retreated, the army would inevitably retreat. Now all aspects are under pressure, and the Jianzhou department would soon be unable to support it. If it forced the Ming army to retreat, at least there would be a chance to breathe.

Li Chengliang had long judged this trend. He was in the central army, one for command and the other for luring the enemy. With the level of the Liaozhen General Sect Group, Li Chengliang's sons and Ma Lin could do it on the front line.

The judgment was made, but Li Chengliang found that his estimate of the Jurchens was still too low. These more than 4,000 Jurchen soldiers were very brave and quickly broke through the first line of defense.

To be precise, it defeated the Ming army's troops in front of the fortifications, and was able to take the battle at this time, and the purpose was to attack the central army of the Ming army in Liaozhen. This was already determined to die. The Ming army was motivated and was attacking oppressively, and the mood was inevitably a little relaxed.

Just talking about the quality of soldiers, the Eastern Reverend Jurchens even won something. At least since the tenth year of Wanli, the Jianzhou Jurchens have been fighting against all aspects.

The Ming army at the front collapsed. Li Ruzhang, the commander in charge of the battle, was shot with an arrow on his right shoulder. Originally, Li Ruzhang was wearing a tiger-powered plate armor, and this arrow should have been blocked. But for the sake of the so-called general's demeanor, he made a scarlet cloak and took off the shoulder guard of the plate armor. As a result, he was shot and retreated with his personal soldiers.

The infantry was unable to fight and was chased backward like a sheep. The Jurchens' plan was also normal, so that the dispersed Ming army infantry would at least disrupt the central army. However, Li Chengliang was also prepared here. There was a gap between the central army and the two wings, which was to let the broken soldiers walk through the gap. Then nearly five thousand cavalrymen gathered around him to prepare to attack the enemy.

The defeated soldiers were killed by the supervisory team and killed by the servants and cavalry rushed over. They soon dispersed, but the Jurchen barbarians kept stopping at this time. Seeing the troops that were superior to their own, they still met.

The Liaozhen generals who watched the formation were all amazed at this time. The Jianzhou Jurchens were indeed amazing. They advanced forward almost 300 steps in such a battle. The formation was still so complete and so fearless. Some people were already thinking that after winning this battle, they would recruit some Jurchens.

Some people who are also interested in making a quick mind think of why the Jurchens did not retreat but came forward. Now they want to retreat, they must open up space for the elite cavalry in Liao Town so that the Liao Town cavalry can charge. But just pushing them up, the defeated soldiers actually became a buffer, and the cavalry could not rush up, and both sides could close the distance as much as possible and fall into a melee.

If the cavalry and infantry fight, although the cavalry has the advantage of being condescending, they also have the disadvantage of being inconvenient to move, which is also a tactic of seeking life in the face of death.

The defeated soldiers scattered almost, and both sides were within twenty steps of the distance. The cavalry in Liao Town all fired their bows and archers. The Jurchen soldiers here were all holding shields. A group of people behind shouted and shouted, and they all fired their bows and arched.

Both sides roared and rushed wildly. An arrow shot from this distance would inevitably hit. Someone screamed and fell to the ground, and blood splattered everywhere. The private soldiers of Liao Town were all fed by them. They also knew that this scene was a time of fighting for life. The Jurchens were in desperate situations and were forced to fight. They all moved forward bravely.

After two rounds of bows and arrows, everyone was hit by death and injury, and they just rushed into it. Some Jurchen infantry were knocked down by the cavalry, and some were killed by the servants of Liao Town, and some were directly killed by the Jurchens.

For a moment, the sound of killing shook the sky, and the generals of Liao Town looked at each other. No one expected that the Eastern Eagle Jurchens could reach such a level, and to confront the cavalry. Although the cavalry did not charge, the Jurchens did not collapse.

Seeing this situation, Li Chengliang breathed a sigh of relief. Although the cavalry did not make any profit when they first started fighting, the advantage was the advantage after all. The Jurchens were huddled in fortifications and defended their lives. Everyone had to fight for consumption and endure it slowly. If they dared to fight like this, they would cause great damage to them.

"Let the guys not fight too tightly, and surround them. Li Rumei, you lead your troops and horses to wait for people to come out of the camp to rescue. You can stop it. If such a force comes out, there must be the trust of the thief chief or even the commander Shurhaqi. I don't believe that they won't come out to rescue!"

Li Chengliang gave the order with confidence and could hear the sound of cannons coming from the direction of Jiefan Village. It seemed that Li Rubai had already arranged the cannons and started to bombard them. As long as he could use the cannons to bombard the other party's village and invest enough strength, he could still take it down.

After the initial stalemate, the cavalry gradually circled the infantry that rushed out, and then strangled them. As Li Chengliang predicted, he could not sit still and watch the force be eaten in the Jurchen camp. Soon, more than 2,000 people rushed out, and hundreds of them were sick from the more than 2,000 people.

The rush of this team made the generals in Liao Town look happy on their faces. The battle situation gradually fell into the direction preset by the Ming army, and victory was in sight.

The sun is about to set. According to Li Chengliang's judgment, if the battle continues like this, the battle will be resolved tomorrow. At that time, we will give the men who are working hard today a few days off, so that they can have fun in Jianzhou, and also show the Haixi Jurchens and several ancient tribes, and what will happen if they go against the Ming Dynasty and cause trouble to Liao Town.

"Master, there is smoke in the north"

At this moment, the personal soldiers beside Li Chengliang shouted loudly, everyone was attracted by the siege on the battlefield. After being shouted, they saw thick smoke rising in the north, and the smoke pillar soared into the sky, which should be a very far away from the battlefield.

"The Tartars are going to come out in full swing!!"

Someone shouted again that there had been a commotion in the camp of the Donglu Jurchens. The Ming army that had just gathered was beaten down again. This time, the Donglu Jurchens were no longer guarding and were about to rush out to fight.

This was originally a good opportunity to completely annihilate the forces of Jianzhou, but Li Chengliang couldn't laugh. It was at this time that the left wing of the Liaozhen army, that is, the left wing, began to stir up. Not long after, Li Runan, who was guarding the left wing, sent his personal soldiers to report to Malay:

"The general, there are enemy cavalry in the north and there are large groups of enemy cavalry"

When he rushed over, the central army could already feel the vibration of the ground. There were no less than 10,000 cavalrymen of this size, and they were close to a dangerous distance.

He conquered his troops and prepared to face the enemy, but the elites of Liao Town were strangling the Jurchens. Although they had the advantage, they could not eat the other party and were dragged there.

When the infantry on the left wing saw the squad of cavalry, their morale was collapsed. If the generals had not tried their best to conquer them, they would have disintegrated.

The cavalry that appeared on the flank of Liao Town were the Gu Ancient Cavalry, with a number of no less than 20,000. After a little rectification across the Hunhe River, they began to charge against the Liao Town army. Then, the Liao Town army collapsed—
