Chapter 2146: Fighting with Iron Horses (Part 2)
"Your Majesty, something serious has happened. General Wanyan's entire army has been wiped out. We don't know whether the two generals are alive or dead."
"What?"
Nurhaci, who was trying to catch up with Huo Qubing, almost fainted from anger after hearing the news.
How long has it been? It has only been an hour, and the 35,000-strong army has been completely wiped out?
“A loser, Wanyan Zongbi is a loser.”
Nurhachi cursed angrily. Even if he knew that he might not be better than Jin Wushu if he took action personally, it was still difficult to suppress his inner anger.
At this time, Nurhachi just didn't know that his son Huang Taiji's troops were also defeated by Qin Haoai, and even Huang Taiji himself was captured alive. If he knew, he would probably faint from anger.
“Your Majesty, the Qin army has stopped.”
Just as Nurhaci was thinking about countermeasures, Yang Dayan's shout made him come back to his senses. After a closer look, Huo Qubing's men did not continue to flee.
“Something is wrong, there is a conspiracy.”
Nurhachi murmured, instinctively sensing that something was wrong. Looking to the east, he saw that a lot of smoke and dust had been raised. It was obvious that another Qin cavalry had come to support.
"No matter what, if there is no war, even if the entire army is annihilated, it will not be able to severely damage the Qin army."
At this thought, Nurhachi became furious and shouted: "Chu Ying."
“Amma, my son is here.” Chu Ying responded quickly.
"I will give you 15,000 elite cavalry under the Eight Banners. You must hold off this Qin army for an hour. Within two hours, I will definitely defeat Huo Qubing, and then lead the army to come for reinforcements."
The Qin army's 70,000 cavalry has been divided into two, with 30,000 elite cavalry led by Wei Qing and 40,000 inexperienced cavalry led by Huo Qubing. This means that Wei Qing's current combat effectiveness is stronger.
With only 15,000 Eight Banners cavalry, they will definitely not be able to defeat the 30,000 Qin army's elite cavalry who are armed to the teeth, but if it is only delayed for an hour, Chu Ying is still confident.
“My son will live up to Ama’s trust.” Chu Ying shouted and accepted the order.
Seeing this, Nurhachi gave Chu Ying a few more instructions and let Chu Ying leave.
Although Nurhachi was dissatisfied with Chu Ying's eldest son's character, he was still assured of his ability to lead the army.
Although it is difficult to hold back an enemy force twice as large as ours, it only lasts for an hour. With the combat power of the Eight Banners Army, this is not a difficult task.
It is impossible for Nurhaci to force his own son to die and perform such an impossible task like he did to Jin Wushu.
Besides, except for Chu Ying, there is no one around Nurhaci available now.
Shanshi Tuo is just a reckless man, and it is difficult to hold a big position. The relationship between Yang Dayan and the Yelu family is complicated, and Nurhaci does not trust him. As for Tie Shiwen, Nurhaci cannot completely trust this fierce general who suddenly appears.
Therefore, as far as the current situation is concerned, only Chu Ying, as the prince, can take on this important task and lead the army alone.
After Chu Ying led the army and left, Nurhaci ordered again: "Mountain Lion Tuo, I order you to be the vanguard, Yang Dayan and Tie Shiwen are the deputy vanguards, and you will lead the 3,008 banner heavy cavalry to the front line of the army. Let me control the Qin army." The battle collapsed."
.
The three generals shouted in unison, but a trace of deep worry flashed through the depths of Yang Da's eyes. Even though he was slow, he noticed that Nurhaci had doubts about him, and the reason was probably because of the death of Dodo.
Conscience of heaven and earth, Yang Dayan never thought of betraying Aisin Gioro, and failed to save Duduo, but saved Tuoba Tao. It was really just an accident, but he did not want to arouse Nurhachi's suspicion.
Yang Dayan groaned secretly in his heart, but there was nothing he could do. He might as well get over the current hurdle and talk about other things.
Nurhaci didn't know what Yang Dayan was thinking. He gathered the three strongest generals under his command under Shan Shi Tuo, firstly for the convenience of control, and secondly to enhance the attack power of the vanguard and strive to defeat Huo Qubing as quickly as possible. Department.
Huo Qubing saw a large number of heavy-armored cavalry at the forefront of the Qing army. He exclaimed: "The Qing Dynasty really has heavy cavalry, and the old thief Nurhachi can bear it."
You must know that since the beginning of the war between Qin and Qing Dynasty, there have been hundreds of large and small battles, but the Qing army has not exposed the heavy armored cavalry. If the heavy armored cavalry had been dispatched early, the Qing army might not have lost many battles.
Nurhachi should have been prepared to use the heavy armored cavalry as a trump card, but unfortunately, he did not expect that the Qin army would risk a surprise attack on Lulongsai, and it was successful, so that the Qing army's retreat was completely cut off.
In such a near-death situation, the unplayed trump card of the heavy armored cavalry was naturally in the hand. Even if it was played now, it would not have much effect.
"Fortunately, our army was well prepared, otherwise we would have suffered a loss if we were unprepared." Lu Bu said with a serious face.
Huo Qubing looked at Lu Bu beside him and said, "General Fengxian, the Manchu Eight Banners heavy cavalry will be handed over to your shabby military camp."
“General Huo, don’t worry, just leave it to me, Lu Bu.”
Having said that, Lu Bu led five thousand heavily armored troops from the Po Army Camp to fight, and the army also made way for the Po Army Camp.
The Qin army's cavalry all rode two horses, but Huo Qubing asked Pojunying to ride three horses and use the other two horses to carry vests, armor and weapons.
It is precisely because of this that the broken military camp can keep up with the speed of the light cavalry, and it is not until the war begins that the heavy armor is put on again.
When Nurhaci saw that five thousand heavy armored cavalry appeared under Huo Qubing's command, the corners of his mouth suddenly twitched involuntarily, but then he thought about the fact that he had fifty-five thousand elite cavalry, and the combat strength of both sides could not be compensated by five thousand heavy cavalry. , and felt a little more at ease in my heart.
“Eight Banners Army, kill.”
Nurhaci raised his troops and shouted, and then the Qing army ordered the flag to wave, and 55,000 cavalry charged at the same time, while the mountain lion camel heavy cavalry responded the fastest.
“Crush these **** and kill them.”
“Kill, kill, kill…”
Three thousand and eight bannermen and heavy cavalry roared in unison. Their voice was loud and uniform, and could rival the rest of the Qing army.
At this time, the 55,000 Qing troops were clearly divided into two groups, one consisting of 52,000 Banners cavalry and the other consisting of 3,000 Banners heavy cavalry.
After Lu Bu saw the momentum of the Eight Banners heavy cavalry, he turned around and looked at the heavy armored knights behind him, and said to himself: "Wenyuan, the Pojun camp has not been defeated in your hands, and it will still not be defeated in my hands, Lu Bu."
Although Pojunying has had several commanders, the one who left the deepest imprint will always be its first commander, Zhang Liao.
Lu Bu and Zhang Liao have been friends for a long time. Zhang Liao naturally had no objection when he learned that Qin Hao asked Lu Bu to command the Po Army Camp, but he also told Lu Bu not to break Po Army Camp's undefeated record.
