Chapter 1006 Ji Zijuan’s fierce battle in Qian’an (End)
Hou Chengzu also knew the identity of Bushiya Mara, but under such circumstances, he would not easily let go of these two Nekalkha warriors who almost caused a breakthrough. Seeing that the two were still unwilling to surrender, Hou Chengzu waved his hand.
The two fire gunners turned around slightly, "Bang! Bang!" After two blasts, the two Inner Khalkha soldiers who had just had time to climb onto the top of the siege vehicle fell to the ground, causing the expressions of both Manggu Da and Bilingtu to change. .
In fact, they knew very well that after failing to break through and causing chaos, they had lost the chance to escape. With so many firecrackers aimed at them, it was almost impossible to escape.
Just during this brief moment of confusion, a huge noise came from the distance. Everyone subconsciously looked towards the distance outside the city wall. They saw that the entire Khalkha camp was in chaos, and two groups of cavalry were entangled. Fighting together, it affects the entire formation.
The armored cavalry of the Yehe tribe finally got rid of the entangled Nekalkha light cavalry and appeared behind the main Nekalkha camp. This was undoubtedly a big blow to the morale of the entire Nekalkha people.
“Drop your weapons and be captured without mercy, otherwise you will not be killed without mercy!”
Hou Chengzu didn't have time to talk nonsense with Manggu Dahe and Lingtu. He just waved his hand. As long as the opponent did not abandon his weapon and surrender, he would order to shoot without hesitation.
Bushiya Mara also saw Hou Chengzu's determination from his eyes, and hurried forward, pulling off the ring knife from the hand of the hesitant man, and then said in a deep voice: "Bi Lingtu, what are you waiting for?" The situation has become so clear. The Inner Khalkhas have failed in their campaign to move to An’an. Zasai and Zhuoliktuhunbatulu can only think of other options. Do you two want to die here? What’s the point? significance?"
Bi Lingtu sighed and dropped the mace in his hand. He and the still aggrieved Mang Guda were captured without any help. Then Sanjie You and two disciples of Qiu Shui Jian who came quickly took the two of them down.
At this time, Feng Ziying was already high-spirited and energetic.
Yehe tribe's attack on the main camp of Nekalkha actually did not have as big an impact as imagined. The three thousand armored cavalry had already lost hundreds in the fight with the light cavalry of Nekalkha, and the main camp of Nekalkha had There are still more than 10,000 troops. This attack is just a gesture, but its significance is huge.
This was also what Feng Ziying told Delgrad at the beginning. As long as the main camp in Inner Khalkha is attacked and the offensive posture can be seen both inside and outside, the goal will be achieved. How to fight next? Whether it is to escape, fight, or fight on the side. While walking, Delgler is in charge of everything.
Whether it was the Yongping New Army on the city wall, the sailors, or the Nekal-Kashgar soldiers on the city wall, they were all shocked by this sudden change. The Yongping New Army and the sailors were in high spirits, and Feng Ziying took advantage of the situation. The soldiers were ordered to shout: "Victory! Victory! Victory!"
Earth-shaking shouts were accompanied by Feng Ziying's order to devote all his troops to the final blow. He would use this last opportunity to completely defeat the morale of the Inner Khalkha people. The intensive gunshots were like the last weight to sink the ship. . , the Inner Khalkha offensive was finally contained.
The turning point of a war often occurs in that instant. A slight change, or even the victory or defeat of a few people on a certain battlefield, can be enough to change the direction of the war.
The morale of the Neikar soldiers plummeted when the main camp was attacked and the Zhou army's counterattack suddenly intensified.
Some of the Neikir soldiers who had already reached the city wall began to turn around and run back, while more soldiers were at a loss, looking for other companions, hoping to get a clear attitude from them, but they found that their companions The expressions on his face were the same as theirs: frustrated, shaken and frightened.
Soon this sentiment spread to the entire Inner Kashi, and then turned into a swarm of retreat, until they fled.
Feng Ziying couldn't help but wave her hand vigorously, and finally won.
Taking the towel handed over by Sister You from the side, he quickly wiped the sweat stains and oil fumes on his face. He asked Third Sister You to tidy up his clothes and hair immediately, and then picked up a folding fan, cool and calm, ensuring that his Elegant image.
I am not a general, but a commander. I need to appear in front of the soldiers as a calm and composed commander.
Even though he had been walking around the soldiers and giving orders before, the soldiers at that time had no time to pay attention to their own image. But now, the relaxed soldiers will pay attention to the image of their commander.
Only by establishing this impression in their minds and continuously strengthening it can we maximize our invincible image in their minds and make them loyal to us in the future.
Zaisai was a little desperate. Although Ye He's armored cavalry did not pose much of a threat to the main camp, our side easily expelled them, and the other side even ran away without much entanglement, but this led to the frontline The great loss of morale, coupled with the all-out counterattack of the Zhou army, turned the entire offensive into a desperate situation, and finally reversed suddenly.
Fortunately, the Zhou army was unable to fight back. The Khalkha soldiers, who had lost the ability to take the initiative to attack, rolled back like headless flies. No matter how hard the leaders and officers whipped and scolded them, it was difficult for them to reorganize their offensive. .
Knowing that the victory or defeat may be determined at that moment, and you can become famous in one battle if you attack, but in the end, because of that short breath, Zasai's hatred for Ye Hebu was simply overwhelming.
After losing this opportunity, Zaisai knew very well that his soldiers had developed a sense of fear towards Qian'an City, and a large number of casualties among his fellow tribesmen, especially since each round of offensive had to face artillery bombardment, heavy fire and oil attacks, and finally had to withstand that Only after a storm of metal projectiles can one truly enter the attack stage.
And those musketeers actually had three-edged spikes on their spearheads, which could thrust like spears, which only added to the soldiers' sense of despair.
It's like an archer suddenly possesses the skills of a spearman, becoming able to shoot and stab without even needing to change weapons. In this way, almost out of thin air, the fire gunners who originally had no melee capabilities have the combat effectiveness of a spearman. , how can we crack it?
The soldiers had lost confidence in attacking Qian'an City. Even Zhuoliketu Hongbatulu was shaken. The Horqin people were frightened by the huge casualty rate in the previous round of attack. Hong Guoer actually came running. He questioned whether the information he had received was wrong. Only the most elite Fire Gun Battalion of the Liaodong Army could have such combat effectiveness. How could it be that Minzhuang had only been trained for two or three months?
I don’t even think about where this information came from. Didn’t it come from the Jurchens and Chahar people in Jianzhou? With their close relationship between the Horqin people and the Jianzhou Jurchens, how could they still know whether this information was true or false?
But the question is what method did the Yongping New Army use to train such a powerful group of firecrackers in just three months? Not only are they huge in number, but they also have amazing combat effectiveness. This is incredible.
Or is this simply a trick by the Chahar people and the Jianzhou Jurchens, who deliberately omitted the information about the Liaodong Army's reinforcements to Yongping?
Or maybe even the Jianzhou Jurchens were deceived by Feng Tang. In order to save his son, Feng Tang sent the elite fire gun army from Liaodong Town to Yongping?
But none of this is important anymore. The key is that the attack on Qian'an was a complete failure, and there was not enough time to clean up military discipline and morale. It was impossible to organize another offensive. It was even impossible to organize an offensive like this. In the previous attack on Qian'an City, everyone was frightened by the huge casualties.
There was a depressing and depressing atmosphere in the big tent. The leaders of the five inner Khalkha tribes and Hong Guoer of the Horqin tribe were sitting or lying down. Bayanda Yileden of the Zalut tribe was sitting next to his son Zhuantu. With support, he could barely lie down on the one-liter bed.
Zhuoli Ketuhunbatulu's face was haggard, as if he had aged a lot, and his temples were stained with frost, while Zaisai beside him had a face that was ashen and livid, and his fierce eyes were wandering around, waiting for a choice. Eat people.
Two cousins went into battle in person and were actually "killed", which made Zaisai go crazy. It was okay for him to be a big man, but Bilingu was his die-hard supporter and his loyal supporter in the tribe. This death almost seemed like a broken heart. He has a left arm and a right arm.
Seter's face was full of gloom, Darkhan was uneasy, and Hong Guo'er was dejected. The three lords were all stunned by this tragic battle.
Although the Bahrain Division did not participate in the war and is basically intact, the Bahrain Division is the weakest among the five Inner Khalkha tribes. The other tribes have suffered defeats and losses. Only the Bahrain Division is still well preserved. Logically speaking, Setel should He was happy, but he also knew that people like Zasai and Zhuoli Ketuhunbatulu would never let his Bahrain department become powerful easily, and now a crisis hung over him.
"Seter, I asked you to send the main force to entangle the Yehebejia Cavalry. Why did you only dispatch 3,000 people? It is precisely because your Bahrain Department failed to send troops that the Yehebejia Cavalry shook the rear of our main camp, causing Our attack fell short, what do you think we should do about this matter?"
As soon as Zasai finished speaking, the atmosphere in the entire tent suddenly became tense.
Now is not the time to argue about guilt, but Zasai, who has lost Mang Guda and Bilingu, can hardly suppress his inner fire and anger. If he does not regain his position with the Bahrain tribe, how can he explain to the tribe?
Mang Guda and Bi Lingtu were both their cousins, so it was fine to die in person in the battle, but it was unbearable because the Bahrain tribe was defeated because of their incompetence.
