Chapter 98
The two thousand elite cavalrymen of the Alihachaoha camp of the Later Jin Zhengbai Banner were suddenly in chaos, covered with thick smoke, people were so smoked that they could not open their eyes, and horses were so smoked that they could not see clearly. The cavalry in front slowed down, and the cavalry behind did not know the situation ahead, and they still collided forward, and another self-collision, knocking down many cavalry.
"Quick, rush over!" Dorgon shouted anxiously. He only knew that as long as he rushed through this area covered with thick smoke, his cavalry would not be affected by poisonous smoke. But Dorgon forgot a little, the thick smoke could not even send out the banner.
When commanding operations were entirely based on flags, gongs and drums and horns. When cavalry charged in battle, gongs and drums and horns were not used, but they just rely entirely on flags as orders.
The Bayala soldiers who heard the sound around Dorgon immediately followed Dorgon's order, rushed forward and tried to rush out of the poisonous smoke area.
However, the cavalry of the Jin army Alihachao in front could not hear the sound. Seeing the Ming cavalry rushing over again, holding a meteor hammer-like object in his hand, the Jin cavalry, who knew that the poisonous fire was powerful, hesitated for a moment, and the horse speed slowed down.
This time, the Ming cavalry rushed to within seventy steps. The Jin cavalry opened their bows and shot a row of feather arrows with their cavalry bows. The arrows shot into Li Laoer's throwing cavalry. The light arrows shot by the hanging could not penetrate the thick armor of the throwing cavalry.
The Ming cavalry raised his hand and threw out a row of gunpowder packs.
The Jin army thought that the Ming army threw out another poisonous fire bag and tried to speed up the passage. Who knew that when the war horses passed by the landed gunpowder bag, they heard a shocking explosion. The killing gunpowder bags exploded one after another. The iron nails and iron sand wrapped in thick cowhide sprayed in scattered with the shock wave of the gunpowder explosion. A row of Jin cavalry in front was blown upside down. At least one hundred Later Jin cavalry and horses were tied into hornet's nests.
What's more serious is that the war horses were unable to adapt to the loud noise of explosions under their feet and the rising fire. The war horses, who were already afraid of poisonous smoke, heard the explosion and saw the fire again. Many horses were completely disobeyed their master's orders and turned their heads and ran backwards.
The cavalry of the White-Arga Bayala Camp around Dorgon could not see the situation ahead, and rushed out of the smoke. They collided with the cavalry of the Alihachaoha Camp running back in front. Suddenly, people shouted and neighed, knocking over a large area.
As the wind direction changed, many of the Korqin Mongolian cavalry who fought fiercely with the Ming army on both wings were affected by smoke and choked by poisonous smoke, and the Mongols' riding and shooting lost their effect.
Seeing the chaos in the formation of the Jin army, Li Laoer pointed forward in his horse spear.
Seven hundred cavalry were arranged in dense conical formations, and each cavalry held a cavalry spear in his hand.
"Kill the slave!" Li Laoer roared and took the lead, rushing towards the slightly chaotic Jin cavalry. Seven hundred cavalry followed Li Laoer and rushed towards the Jin cavalry.
The Mongolians on both sides were eager to save their master and tried to surround him and shot arrows, but were entangled by Youdai's Ming army and could not get out.
The reaction speed of the Jurchen cavalry was still very fast. Many Jurchen cavalry took out their cavalry bows and set off their bows to hit the arrows. With the sound of bowstrings, the light arrows jumped into the sky and fell, covering the dense formation of Li Laoer, which was densely packed like rain.
The light arrow has extremely little lethality to the heavy armored cavalry. Except for a few cavalry who were shot and fell off because of their war horses, the other heavy armored cavalry were unscathed.
The cone formation passed through the rain of arrows, and the horse's hooves stepped on the ground, and the roar was rapid. Before the cavalry could rush into the Jurchen formation, more than a hundred throwing cavalrymen in front had thrown out gunpowder bags and accurately threw them into the middle of the Jin army formation.
The rising flames were continuous, and the explosion sounded like thunder rolling on the ground, which made the formation that had finally gathered and stabilized Jin army formations again appeared in chaos.
The cone formation with Li Lao Er as the arrow had already hit the crowd of Later Jin. Li Lao Er, who was leading the horse, hit a long spear in his hand, and a puffered Shiku was hit by a horse spear. The thick three-fold armor could not stop the rush of the armor-breaking cone under the force of horsepower. The long spear pierced from the front chest and the tip of the spear pierced out from the back. Li Lao Er picked up the Jin soldier and threw it out.
The cavalry Ye rushed up, and the cavalry spear in his hand hit the Jin soldiers and immediately let go. With the sound of a broken wooden pole, at least more than 100 Later Jin cavalry were knocked off from their horses with half of the wooden pole.
"Retreat!" Seeing the Ming army's conical arrows erected straight towards him like a sharp steel knife, Dorgon also felt the fear of death. He turned his horse's head and turned around and left. The hundreds of Bayala soldiers who were following Dorgon also turned their heads and retreated.
According to Dorgon's idea, the poisonous fire and gunpowder packs in the Ming army in front were too sharp. After the poisonous fire and gunpowder packs exploded through the Jin army, the heavily armored cavalry began to charge. Dorgon now needs to temporarily retreat, evacuate the poisonous smoke area, and withdraw a distance first. When the Ming cavalry's horsepower is exhausted, the Later Jin army will turn back and charge against the Ming cavalry.
But Li Laoer would not give Dorgon a chance. Seeing the Jin army retreating, his seven hundred elite troops immediately entered the Jin cavalry crowd and covered them from behind. Li Laoer took the lead and picked seven Jin soldiers in a row.
Before the Jin soldiers could assemble, Li Laoer's seven hundred elite cavalry had already rushed into the formation, and the three-eyed guns and various blunt weapons were waving up and down, causing the Jin soldiers to fall off.
Li Hong and others who had been involved in the Jin army's rear formation in advance saw that the Jin army began to retreat, so they shouted in Jurchen and Mongolian, "Minggou firearm is so powerful! We are defeated! Let's go quickly!"
The Jin army, which had begun to retreat, was chased by the Ming army, and heard the shouts behind him, and thought they were really defeated. Pessimism and fear spread rapidly in the team, and many Later Jin cavalry also shouted: "Our army is defeated, go quickly!"
When Dorgon heard these shouts that disrupted the morale of the army, his chest was so frustrated that he wanted to find out the guys who were shouting and tear them apart. However, at this time, he could no longer worry about chasing who was shouting first. The entire army was completely collapsed and he could only escape with him. Otherwise, he would fall behind alone and be surrounded by the seven hundred Ming troops, which would be destined to have no good results.
"Jiannu is defeated! Kill the slave!" Li Laoer shouted like thunder.
"Defeated! Defeated! Go away!" The Later Jin army was completely in chaos.
In the Battle of Guangning that year, Sun Degong, Neijian, shouted "I lost" behind the Ming army, which led to the collapse of the Ming army on its entire line, and eventually Guangning was defeated. Now Li Laoer used this move back to the Later Jin army. Of course, he could not buy the Jurchen people. He could only rely on his own people to mingle in the Jin army with the Jurchen armor on his body and create chaos for the Jin army.
The shouts of the Jurchens also spread to the Korqin Mongolian soldiers. Seeing that the brave and invincible Jin army was defeated, the remaining less than two thousand Mongolians also lost their fighting spirit and ran back with the retreating Jin army.
Li Laoer and seven hundred brothers were behind the Jin army. The Mongols also began to escape, and Youdai's Ming cavalry chased after him at night.
The once arrogant elite of the Later Jin Zhengbai Banner is now running wildly, exposing his back to the enemy and has almost no counterattack ability.
Li Laoer and You Dai's 3,700 Ming troops followed closely behind the Later Jin army and covered them all the way. Some Ming cavalry with good archery skills also took out feather arrows and shot light arrows at the running Jurchen soldiers.
The long arrow pierced into the crowd, screams one after another, and the Jin soldiers with heavy arrows were all dismounted. After all, Aliha Chaoha Camp was not like the Bayala Camp and Gebushxian Chaoha Camp. Each of them was wearing many thick armors. The armor of Aliha Chaoha Camp was not that powerful. He was shot several rounds of arrows by the Ming cavalry archers, and at least sixty or seventy people were shot down.
