Chapter nine
"What? He really defeated the Tatar attack, and there were no casualties?" Zhao Shujiao asked his men in a cross voice.
Those watching the battle on the walls of Pyongyang were not only North Korean officials. There were also Zhao Zhijiao's men. He sent people to keep a close eye on Li Xiao. As soon as there was the latest news, he must come back and report it to him immediately. He wanted to hear it
Li Xiao's entire army was destroyed, but he heard the opposite news. How could Zhao Shujiao believe this!
"There are really no casualties, my subordinates can see clearly. There are probably about a hundred casualties in total, and the dead are probably only a dozen." Seeing that the commander-in-chief didn't believe him, the scout almost swore.
In the eyes of Li Xiao, heavy casualties are not called casualties here in Zhao Shujiao. Starting from Sarhu, there is no battle where the Tatars have not killed mountains of corpses and seas of blood. There are about a hundred casualties, but only a dozen people died in the battle.
That’s it. How on earth did they do it?
"Can you see clearly?" Zhao Shujiao began to suspect that there was something wrong with his subordinate's eyes.
"Sir, how many pairs of eyes are looking at you? How dare you lie? Are so many people on the city wall lying? Now that Li Xiao has returned to the city. I heard that the king of North Korea will personally summon him and hold a banquet for him!" The scout immediately
When he called out Chuang Tianqu, this was definitely not something he could cover up by just lying. There were at least a thousand pairs of eyes on the city wall watching, so could he lie about this?
"Is this kid really that powerful? Let's go and have a look!" Zhao Shujiao really wanted to see the battlefield. As an old soldier, he could still tell a lot of things from the traces on the battlefield. From the bottom of his heart, he still didn't believe in Li Xiao.
The boy who has not yet grown up can defeat the elite red-armored Ba Ya La army.
"Sir, what should we do over here!" When the deputy general heard that Zhao was leaving, his face turned pale with fright. He pointed at his five thousand soldiers who were arrayed along the hillside and said!
If the Tatars attack at this time, the victory will still be attributed to Zhao Lijiao. But if they are defeated, it will be the lieutenant general's head. In the lieutenant's heart, he has already greeted a woman from the eighteenth generation of Zhao Lijiao's ancestors.
all over.
I won’t bear this responsibility!
"Retreat! Do you really want to fight with the Tatars?" Zhao Shujiao looked at this tough guy angrily. He knew the fighting power of the Tatars best. Today, he just wanted to kill that arrogant man with the Tatar's knife.
Boy! He went out of the city by himself, just to show off to others. It made people think that he was not just afraid of the Tatars, but that he would fight the Tatars with real swords and guns.
If I could do it, I would have done it in Liaoyang, why would I have to wait until today? They are all hard-working people who only know how to eat and not think about anything.
He arrived earlier than Li Xiao, so he naturally had a clearer understanding of the situation here. To the north were the forwards from the Zhenglan Banner, led by Beil Amin. To the west were the forwards from the Xianglan Banner, led by Nurhachi's confidant General Jue.
Mount Robai.
Not only was Jueluobaishan extremely brave, but he was also one of the owners of thirteen armors when he followed Nurhachi. The red-armored Bagara army under his command was the elite of the Tatars, and they usually served as Nurhaci's army.
Personal Guards. Outside the west gate is a flat plain without even a hill, which is perfect for cavalry to launch an attack. How could it be defeated by that kid Li Xiao? He only had more than a hundred cavalry, and they would definitely not be able to defeat the red armor.
Yala Army.
Zhao Shujiao had already sent people to investigate these things clearly. Until now, Zhao Shujiao still hasn't figured out what happened on the battlefield outside the west gate.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they heard that they didn't have to fight the Tatars. The infantry were in front and the cavalry was behind. The large group of people began to retreat towards Pyongyang City. When they left the city, everyone was grinding and chirping. But when they retreated, they all wanted to borrow two weapons.
He ran back to the city on two legs. If the lieutenant hadn't suppressed him, the cavalry would have run back first on horseback.
Just as the infantry withdrew to the foot of Pyongyang City and the cavalry returned the vigilance of the war two miles away, hundreds of Tatar cavalry suddenly emerged from the woods next to the Moran Peak. The horses of these cavalry were galloping as if they were magic soldiers descended from the earth.
With the speed of lightning, he rushed towards the Ming army.
Zhao led his cavalry and saw the Tatar cavalry rushing out. Although they were still six to seven hundred paces away, they shouted, turned their horses and fled towards Pyongyang City. They were so fast that they chased them.
The soldiers were stunned, and the cavalry quickly passed through the infantry and came to the city gate.
When the infantry saw the Tatar cavalry, they were frightened and ran into the city. The north gate of Pyongyang City was crowded with people for a while, and there were even more curses and roars on both sides of the city gate. Everyone wanted to squeeze in.
, some people were pushed to the ground by the crowd. Countless pairs of big feet stepped on their bodies, and sometimes there were horse hooves.
The soldiers were shouting and cursing, no matter what, they felt that they were passing too slowly. The officers also cursed loudly, and even whipped them with whips and hit them with sticks. But apart from making the situation more chaotic, it had no effect at all.
The Ming army soldiers were huddled together, but the Tatar soldiers behind them quickly approached.
After the Tatar cavalry approached, they began to fire arrows at the defeated troops. The infantry running at the rear was shot down. Many people were crying and howling on the ground after being hit by arrows. The sound was so miserable that the scalps of the Korean soldiers on the top of the city were numb.
.
Fortunately, the Korean army on top of the city reacted quickly and started shooting at the Tatar cavalry. Although their accuracy and power were not very good, they were victorious because of the large number of arrows. Among them were powerful crossbows, which had a range longer than bows and arrows.
It's powerful enough at a distance, and it won't be a problem to penetrate Tatar armor from a hundred paces away.
Fearing the arrows on the city's head, the Tatar cavalry retreated helplessly. If the number were not too small, they would have even wanted to brave the arrows and fight directly into the city.
Relying on the cover of the Korean army on the top of the city, Zhao led the army to retreat into the city. After entering the city, the deputy general counted more than 300 casualties. Among them, the casualties caused by Tatar arrows were only more than 100.
, the remaining two hundred or so people were trampled on each other at the city gate. Dozens of people were trampled to death alone.
Zhao Shujiao was so angry that his face almost turned green. When others go out to fight in the city, it is a big victory. When he went out to fight in the city, the Tatars did not hit him but suffered hundreds of casualties. This time, his face was trampled under the soles of his feet.
Glossy.
"Sir, look...!" The deputy general's face was not good-looking either. Just because Zhao Shujiao was embarrassed doesn't mean he wasn't ashamed. Having led troops with such virtue, it's no wonder that the way the North Koreans looked at them changed.
"Take them all back. Are you embarrassed to stay here?" Zhao Shujiao's lungs are about to explode. It is really a highly dangerous behavior to bring such soldiers to fight. If they really fight the Tatars, they will probably see the Tatars.
The shadow of the child just fucking disappeared.
"promise!"
Just when Zhao led the teachings to collect the corpses and returned to Pyongyang in despair with his men, Belle Amin also received a shocking news. The elite red-armored Baya La Army, the proud elite of the Eight Banners, was in the east of Pyongyang.
The entire army three miles away was destroyed.
"How is this possible?" Amin's first reaction was that he heard wrongly.
"Master Baile! That's right, I saw corpses all over the place. The heads were cut off, and people and horses were spread out over a large area. How miserable!" The voice of the person who came back to report was filled with tears.
"How is this possible? Take me to see it!" Amin, with hundreds of white-armored troops around him, sped towards the west of the city.
In front of him was a messy battlefield, filled with headless corpses that were frozen solid. There was not much blood flowing out of the cavities of most of the corpses, which proved that their heads were cut off after death. What on earth is that?
, can the elite red-armored Baya La army be defeated like this?
There was a small thing under his feet that caught Amin's attention. It was a small thing with four spikes. No matter how you threw it, one of the spikes would point upward. Amin had seen this thing before and was attacking Zhenjiang Fort.
This little thing was found in the ruins of the city. This thing is the nemesis of the cavalry. As long as a war horse steps on this thing, it will go crazy with pain.
It was those bastards who attacked Zhenjiang Fort again. Last time, they burned their own rations. Unexpectedly, they encountered them again this time. Amin felt that things would be a little tricky this time, but now he had to find Jue Luobai first.
Shan. This old guy is uncle Nurhachi's confidant. He was one of the thirteen armors when they launched the army.
This old guy held a very important position in his uncle's heart. He wanted to see his body alive or dead.
"Look, we must find the body of Jueluo Baishan." Amin's first thought was to find the body of Jueluo Baishan.
The cavalrymen of the Zhenglan Banner immediately dispersed to look for him. Although they didn't have Tou Kejue Luo Baishan's armor, saber and helmet, etc., they could still tell which body was his at a glance.
But after searching for a long time, all the corpses were turned over, but the corpse of Jueluo Baishan was not found.
"Master Baylor, did the old general withdraw first?"
Amin looked at the surrounding terrain. It was not too difficult for the cavalry to escape from this terrain. Judging from the battlefield shape, Jueluobai Mountain was the attacking side, and the Ming army was obviously on the defensive. In this case, the attackers
But retreating is also a way. But will the red-armored Baya La army retreat?
Prior to this, there was no record of the Red Jia Baya La Army retreating. During the Saarhu War, Ming General Marin's military formation was equally dense. The banners took turns to attack, but none of them were able to break through Marin's military formation.
In the end, it was the Great Khan who led the red-armored Baya La army to charge in person, and was able to overwhelm Marin's army.
Could it be said that the firearms of these Ming troops are more powerful than Marin?
Amin was suspicious, but did not dare to delay. He immediately sent out more than a dozen waves of scouts to look for Jueluobai Mountain in all directions.
The men and horses of Zhenglan Banner and Xianglan Banner were temporarily stationed ten miles away from Pyongyang City. At the same time, eight hundred miles were sent urgently to report to uncle Nurhachi in Liaoyang.
