In that lightning-flash split second, Maise only had time to evade his chest’s vital spot; that lance stabbed in tight against his left ribs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blood sprayed in a rain. The heavy, sharp cavalry lance, borrowing the horse’s momentum, instantly tore through the fine armor plates at Maise’s armpit guard, tore through the cotton padding inside, tore through the innermost layer of chain mail, and burst out through his body in one go, even exposing a long section behind Maise’s back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maise felt the strength in his body instantly drained away, and a bitter smile could not help but show on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crackling sound of hand cannons rang on without pause. Not far to Maise’s lower left, a strong warrior was swinging his tiger-tooth blade, about to hack at a Jingbian Army rider charging toward the front.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet in that instant, from his left and right shoulder guards, his armpit guards, his black-lacquered helmet, his front abdominal guard, and even the horse beneath him, multiple plumes of blood mist burst out — he had been hit repeatedly by the hand cannons of the Jingbian Army charging past on both flanks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He did not even let out much of a cry, just tumbled off his horse like that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just like this strong warrior, with the gunfire, charging bannermen and horses kept falling. At the points of impact, great streams of blood ceaselessly sprayed; as they fell from their horses, they howled with all their might, as if complaining of the enemy’s unfair tactics.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The continuous strikes from the Jingbian Army riders at the front and on both flanks made these bannermen attend to one thing and lose sight of another, most of them unable to bring their martial skills into play.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only at Maise’s lower right, a strong warrior with fierce flesh bulging on his face, though hit by a bullet in his right arm and his body swaying, still roused his remaining valor. With a great roar, his body suddenly rose from the saddle, and the long-handled slicing blade in his hand slashed down diagonally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A mist of blood erupted. An oncoming Jingbian Army rider, his entire upper body, along with more than half of his horse’s head, was cleaved off by that heavy, sharp, long and narrow curved slicing blade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A grief-stricken and furious roar rose from the opposite side. This strong warrior turned his head, and a heavy lance spear pierced through his throat and out. The impact force of the horse’s charge also sent this strong warrior falling backward, heavily tumbling to the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes grew vacant; the blood at his neck gushed out like a fountain. Bloody fragments from his mouth also ceaselessly welled up, dyeing his neck guard red, and the armor plates on his chest. He seemed to struggle to crawl, but very quickly, several heavy horse hooves stomped down upon his head...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The battle was brief and brutal. In what seemed the blink of an eye, the bannermen beside Maise were already few and far between.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He still held the banner in his left hand, his greatsword in his right. The long spear piercing through his body at his left ribs — the wooden shaft in front had already been hacked apart by him, leaving only the long, blood-dripping spearhead protruding from behind his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the warriors beside him, all seemingly covered in wounds, and then looking ahead at the Jingbian Army riders, wave after endless wave charging forth, each holding a hand cannon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maise felt as if he had fallen into an icy cave, as if he was about to smell that strange odor of white smoke mixed with blood again. Abruptly he let out a howl, raised high his company commander’s great banner, and roared: “Warriors of the Great Qing, let us die in battle here!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sound of volley fire rang out several times. The routed soldiers were already surging like a tide toward both sides, no longer daring to charge the Jingbian Army’s war wagons head-on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the Qing cavalry behind them driving them on desperately was of no avail.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For one, the Jingbian Army’s arrival to aid them made hope surge up in them — this was the power and prestige of a strong army. For another, they were exhausted, and many men and horses could run no more. For a third, the firepower of the Jingbian Army made a fear surge up in them that even surpassed that of the Tartar soldiers driving them from beside and behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those Qing riders saw the routed soldiers before them either ceaselessly stopping in place, or shouting and surging toward both sides. Driving the routed soldiers further could no longer achieve the original effect...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking again at the Ming army’s two wings, dust and smoke seemed to billow, and cavalry riding out from the ranks was unending. They paid no heed to the routed soldiers in the middle or before them, only rolling toward the front of both wings, as if to envelop from the front those of themselves caught among the routed soldiers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An ominous feeling surged in the hearts of many pursuing Qing riders. Some of the more quick-witted ones, those with sharp battlefield instincts, immediately wheeled their horses and galloped back, wanting to break out before the Ming cavalry completed their encirclement, lest their retreat be cut off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were also some who harbored wishful thinking, wanting to see how things stood, or to once more drive the Ming routed soldiers to achieve an effect similar to the impact on Bai Guangen’s main battalion. There were even some bold enough to want to charge the Jingbian Army’s war wagons — one can naturally imagine the result of that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Jingbian Army’s war wagons advanced unceasingly. The long spears densely planted and arrayed before each wagon made hearts turn cold at the sight; anyone daring to charge the wagons had to weigh their own mettle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And behind the wagons, layer upon layer of arquebusiers — whether routed soldiers or Qing riders, whoever dared charge the wagon formation would meet the result of being shot dead on the spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the army formation advanced, with the shouts and orders of the night scouts from the Sharp Scout Battalion galloping and calling out everywhere, patches of routed soldiers and laborers fell to their knees, revealing among them some Qing pursuers sitting on horseback, dumbstruck and stupefied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scene before them filled them with terror, and they fled in droves. Especially as more and more people called out and passed word to one another, saying that the Ming cavalry had already swept forward from both wings to envelop them — if they did not leave, their retreat would be cut off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The army formation advanced like a wall the whole time, carrying an oppressive momentum. More and more Qing riders began fleeing in terror. The more Ming routed soldiers knelt on the ground, the more Qing riders fled to the rear. Great swaths of routed soldiers and laborers began to be taken in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for Wang Dou’s order that routed soldiers must kneel on the spot, lay down their weapons, and those with horses must also dismount and lie prostrate on the ground, they mostly obediently complied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, there were also some unruly routed soldiers who refused to submit, dissatisfied with the Jingbian Army’s order that they lay down their weapons and horses. Toward these men, Wang Dou’s order was to kill them on the spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sound of gunfire rose and fell unceasingly. Clearly, there were not a few people who could not see the situation clearly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A man with a Ji Garrison accent, dressed seemingly as an Assistant Regional Commander or a Mobile Corps Commander, leading several dozen retainers beside him, roared at a squad of Jingbian Army rear-battalion soldiers who had come out to take them in: “I am a Mobile Corps Commander of the Great Ming, have fought for decades through life and death — what right do you have to confiscate my weapons, and my horses? This is outright robbery! I will go to Viceroy Hong to file a complaint against Wang Dou!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That squad officer’s face was iron-blue. Staring fixedly at this Mobile Corps Commander, he roared: “Final order — throw aside your weapons, all of you kneel on the ground!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That Mobile Corps Commander bellowed: “I refuse to accept this...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The merciless sound of gunfire rang out. Amid the gunpowder smoke and wailing, the retainers who had been clamoring beside that Mobile Corps Commander were shot down one by one, screaming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The arquebusiers of that Jingbian Army squad pulled their triggers at close range against their bodies. Flying sprays of blood, rising gunpowder smoke — many of those retainers even had their bodies shot straight through, blood gushing out like fountains, their intestines directly spilling from inside their bodies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ah!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scene before their eyes was something anyone with the slightest mental fragility could not bear. The retainers lucky enough not to die all collapsed, weeping bitterly and falling to their knees, wailing: “Stop shooting, stop shooting, we’ll kneel, we’ll kneel!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That Mobile Corps Commander, watching the men beside him continuously fall to gunfire, the flesh on his face twitching violently, roared: “I am a Mobile Corps Commander of the Great Ming, Wang Dou has no right...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He let out a miserable cry — he had been shot in the thigh. Then a gunstock loomed large before his eyes and smashed heavily onto his mouth. Instantly that Mobile Corps Commander’s blood streamed like a waterfall, and he rolled on the ground howling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several burly Jingbian Army soldiers stepped forward and punched and kicked him, using the stocks of their arquebuses to ceaselessly and fiercely smash onto his body, all the while shouting harsh curses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Daring to show disrespect to our Grand General — you are courting death!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No one dares resist our Jingbian Army. Those who resist — only death awaits!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A useless Mobile Corps Commander who only knows how to flee should enjoy the treatment of the useless — and that is a beating!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching this Mobile Corps Commander roll and howl and weep, all the routed soldiers and laborers nearby watched with trembling hearts and chilled courage. Yet no one cried out against the injustice of his miserable state; they only knelt even more obediently and neatly. Even an Assistant Regional Commander and a Vice Regional Commander of the Ji Garrison not far away also obediently knelt just like common soldiers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Enough!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That squad officer glanced at the Jingbian Army formation approaching not far away, stretched out a hand, and shouted: “Take all these people away — clear the road for our grand army’s advance!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately the laborers accompanying this Jingbian Army squad came forward and, one by one, rounded up and escorted away the routed soldiers and horses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having witnessed this scene, the routed soldiers in the surrounding area also cooperated very readily. Each threw their weapons into the laborers’ carts and let their horses and mules be led away by them. Many officers among the routed soldiers also ordered their subordinates not to resist, and even took the lead in collecting and handing over their subordinates’ weapons and horses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whatever the future might hold, and regardless of whether those Jingbian Army men would return their weapons and horses, preserving their lives right now came first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Very quickly, that stretch of ground was cleared. Just like this area, the routed soldiers who had originally seemed to cover the hills and plains everywhere were taken in one batch after another, then escorted to the rear of Wang Dou’s central grand formation. Finally, they were taken over by Hong Chengchou’s Viceroy Personal Battalion and gathered into their central grand formation, to tally the casualties of this Ji Garrison campaign.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Dou lowered his telescope. He had taken in the scene of his subordinates beating that Ji Garrison Mobile Corps Commander, his face expressionless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Ruoqi also lowered his telescope, his expression somewhat uneasy. As Army Supervisor, this matter... However, he glossed over it, merely giving a light cough and saying: “Loyal and Brave Count, it seems the routed soldiers have all been halted. Our army formation is safe, Viceroy Hong’s central grand formation is safe, and Marshal Yang’s force attacking the mountain is also safe!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Dou said: “What Lord Zhang says is true.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the situation of the Qing riders behind the routed soldiers, he had originally also wanted to order the several thousand first-rate troops in the camp to strike, coordinating with the cavalry battalion and allied cavalry to envelop and trap them. They had actually dared to press right up to the front of his army formation — if he did not teach them a lesson, would that still be Wang Dou’s way?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unexpectedly, these Tartar soldiers were all veterans of many battles, and the quick-witted among them were very many. Seeing the situation turning sour, they pulled up and ran. Especially those cavalrymen, each having a horse, some even having several horses — they truly ran like the wind. Although his own cavalry enveloped swiftly, in the end the Qing riders who could be trapped within the circle likely would not be many.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as long as they enveloped some of the enemy, Zhang Ruoqi would be fully satisfied. What worried him was only the battle to come. Although the Jingbian Army was famed far and wide, the Tartar cavalry were likewise not to be underestimated. Especially since not long before, they had routed Bai Guangen’s Ji Garrison troops, leaving him anxious and uneasy about the battle’s outcome.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So at this moment, Zhang Ruoqi could not help but ask: “The elite Tartar cavalry ahead number over twenty thousand. Does the Loyal and Brave Count have any brilliant plan to deal with them?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Dou smiled faintly. “Lord Zhang, please set your mind at ease. If the slaves attack with a sharp formation, I will meet them with a concave formation — we are certain to win a great victory!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Based on the terrain ahead, Wang Dou had long since formed a plan. The Qing troops knew a fair amount about his firearms and cannon, but they held his cavalry in contempt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could devise a corresponding tactic around this point.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Dou decided to concentrate his infantry on the left, where the ground was more rolling and hilly, protecting them with rocket carts, Frankish cannon, and war wagons, forming a series of small concave-convex formations. The cavalry would be massed on the right. The Divine Machine Battalion’s Grand General of Divine Might cannon, as well as his own cannon battalion’s red-barbarian heavy cannon, would all be deployed behind the cavalry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this way, the infantry would appear weak in firepower, and each position would seem empty and exposed, yet in truth they were laden with traps…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Dou recalled a video he had seen in a later era.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During the Great War, a Maxim heavy machine gun firing three hundred rounds head-on at charging infantry managed to kill only thirty or forty of the enemy. Yet when it was shifted to fire from the flank, the casualties inflicted on the enemy reached as high as two hundred seventy or eighty — this enormous disparity in the casualty ratio was truly staggering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With this in mind, Wang Dou laid out his battle formation accordingly. When the enemy attacked the infantry positions and entered the gaps between the small formations, each formation’s flanking fire would inflict maximum slaughter on the slave cavalry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they attacked his own cavalry instead, that would suit Wang Dou perfectly. Countless cannon blasts pounding their cavalry would surely shatter their battle formation. His own cavalry, shielded by the gunpowder smoke, would then charge the enemy horse in tight, disciplined ranks and easily rout them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, according to this strategy, he also held the advantage of fighting from a defensive position.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Ruo was somewhat baffled by Wang Dou’s words, yet also found them profoundly unfathomable. He thought to himself, “A concave formation? What kind of formation is that?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The main army has come out to relieve us?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Sangui abruptly looked toward the direction of Hong Chengchou’s main army, overjoyed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, his wagon battalion was deployed on all four sides in a wagon formation. The outermost ring was a wagon fortress formed by heavy wagons and cannon; within that was a secondary fortress of light wagons guarding the main army. Inside the secondary fortress were large numbers of pack horses and cavalry, and only at the very center were the wagon battalion’s command post and banners.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside the wagon camp, Qing cavalry in every color of armor and banner were assaulting fiercely from all sides, but Wu Sangui’s defense was tight, and over ten thousand Qing horsemen had attacked for a long time without breaking through. Of course, inwardly Wu Sangui was growing anxious — if no relief came, he did not know how much longer his Ningyuan troops could hold out, especially after witnessing the total rout of the Jizhou army not far away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At his command post, he too had a lookout wagon. Watching the signalman relay the distant signal, Wu Sangui’s heart suddenly steadied — relief troops had come, excellent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he further learned that the relief force was the Jingbian Army, whose valor outstripped three armies, his heart grew even more settled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, a complex emotion surged within him. It seemed the mainstay still had to be Wang Dou — could it be that he truly was not his equal?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He forcefully suppressed the tangled feelings in his heart and announced the news of the Jingbian Army’s arrival to the entire force. At once, the wagon camp erupted from top to bottom, morale soaring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The signal from the lookout wagon indicated that the Jingbian Army’s cavalry was swiftly sweeping in from both flanks of the routed troops, as if to envelop those Qing riders who were in pursuit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Sangui’s heart stirred. He said to Zu Dale beside him, “Elder Uncle, in a moment you lead the infantry and gunners to hold the wagon formation fast. I will take five thousand cavalry out to strike — perhaps we can take many heads!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zu Dale, a veteran of countless battles, immediately saw the opening. Those Qing riders chasing the routed troops were now caught between the Ningyuan Army and the Jingbian Army. If they seized this chance to strike, the heads they took would certainly be many!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He said, “Right — seize this chance and win great merit. Gui’er, go forth without worry. The defense of the wagon camp, your elder uncle will take charge of!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But then the two men saw the tide-like mass of Qing cavalry fleeing back, and both could not help cursing, “Damn it, those crafty Tartars!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wang Dou has moved? The Jingbian Army has moved?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>About two li to the upper left of Wu Sangui’s wagon camp spread a sea of banners, among which stood many gold-threaded dragon banners of the Qing princes and beile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among these dragon banners were those of the Bordered Blue Banner lord of the Manchu Eight Banners, Prince Zheng Jirgalang; the Plain Blue Banner lord, Prince Su Hooge; and the Plain White Banner, Prince Wuying Ajige.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were also the gold-threaded dragon banners of the Eight Banner Mongols: Plain Yellow Banner gūsa ejen Adai, Plain Red Banner gūsa ejen Enggetu, and Bordered Red Banner gūsa ejen Buyandai.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These banner lords and princes all wore the gilded armor of their own banner colors, glittering and flashing under the sunlight…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides these heavyweight figures, the Qing commanders on the field also included Manchu Plain White Banner bayara banner commander Ajige Nikan, Manchu Bordered Yellow Banner bayara banner commander Yangshan, Manchu Plain Yellow Banner bayara banner commander Tulai, Manchu Plain Blue Banner bayara banner commander Arjin, and others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All of them were famous names in Qing history — renowned commanders gathered here, a veritable assembly of talent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, the various Qing commanders sat their horses, watching the dense mass of aha laborers on the field transporting the spoils of war.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hooge, Ajige, and the others had led their troops to attack Bai Guangen’s and Wu Sangui’s forces. Not far behind their main body followed over ten thousand aha laborers. These laborers had now arrived and were busily hauling captured Jizhou army war wagons, horses and mules, baggage, and some Ming prisoners who had failed to escape, all up toward Mount Rufeng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gazing at the dazzling array of plunder, Hooge and Ajige were in high spirits. Both laughed heartily: “The Nikans are utterly worthless — Bai Guangen is reputed a brave general of the Ming, but he’s nothing more than this!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hooge even cast a dissatisfied glance at Jirgalang. If not for that old fellow holding them back and sending more troops in pursuit, the haul might have been even greater.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After routing Bai Guangen’s Jizhou army, Hooge and Ajige’s thinking had been that, aside from leaving a portion of men to continue attacking Wu Sangui’s wagon camp, they should naturally send as many pursuers as possible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Jirgalang was cautious, arguing that Hong Chengchou’s main army was not far off, and among them was Wang Dou’s Jingbian Army. Killing Bai Guangen was already an excellent result — why be insatiably greedy and risk suffering a Ming counterblow? Thus, of the twenty-thousand-odd Qing cavalry on the field, only a few thousand had been sent to chase the routed troops.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the Jizhou army collapsed, scouts had streamed back with reports that the pursuit of the routed troops was going extremely smoothly. Those Ming fugitives showed hardly any sign of turning to resist, and the heads taken along the way were many.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This made Hooge and the others even more dissatisfied. If they could have driven those routed troops to smash into the enemy’s main formation, or to attack Yang Guozhu’s force at Huangtuling, would that not have been better? But the command of these twenty-thousand-odd Qing troops lay in Jirgalang’s hands. However discontented Hooge, Ajige, and the others were, they dared not defy Huang Taiji’s orders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, the plunder before their eyes was enough to make everyone exultant. The worry they had felt at the imposing martial display of the Ming army when it first reached Songshan was now swept clean away. As expected, those Ming troops were all embroidered pillows — when it came to real fighting, they were no match for the warriors of the Great Qing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Come, and you are no match for the warriors of the Great Qing.\u003C\u002Fp>",3847,"2026-06-03T14:05:53.320Z",1,"Novelzhen Translator","dd12179e967cbbb71b3b1d921756a57d8a568171957d3664769f68b07a1bc1e0","a-little-soldier-of-the-late-ming-border-army-chapter-492","a-little-soldier-of-the-late-ming-border-army-chapter-490",896,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fa-little-soldier-of-the-late-ming-border-army-cover.jpg"]
