Only by killing them until they trembled in fear, until they collapsed, until they no longer dared to resist, could they reverse the difference in strength in the hearts of these people. When facing a strong country, these Northern Barbarians would never dare to invade as they wished.
Xiao Ruxun looked down the mountain and said, "Let them charge, let them shout, let them attack. I will use methods that are ten times, a hundred times more ruthless than they are. I will make them tremble at the mention of my name in the future."
At this moment, the Northern Barbarians began a large-scale counterattack. The heavy and desolate sound of the horn resounded through the entire battlefield, boosting the morale of the Northern Barbarians and waking them up from their panic. They bravely picked up the weapons beside them and braved the arrows, rocks, and gunfire as they desperately attacked the two sides of the valley.
They did not know why they were doing this. Perhaps it was because the Ming Army was there, but it was their instinct to charge with the masses.
This was also something that made Xiao Ruxun feel very happy.
They all charged over. If they charged closer, it would be beneficial for the Ming Army. Otherwise, the muskets would not be able to hit accurately.
"Beat the drums. Cannon soldiers, fight!"
Xiao Ruxun calmly gave the order.
"Yes, Sir!"
The soldiers beating the drums changed their speed. The sound of the drums suddenly became short. This sudden change had no effect on the Northern Barbarians, but it had a great effect on the Ming Army. This meant that —
The Ming Army cannon soldiers that had been hiding on the hillside suddenly stood up in groups to show their existence. The archers also threw down their bows and started charging down the mountain with their spears.
"Light the fire! Raise the guns! Fire! "
The cannon soldiers skillfully operated the muskets in their hands and shot out lead bullets. Shot after shot caused Hercules's heart to sink.
He had not expected the Ming Army to have an ambush here. Furthermore, the ambush was so lethal. He saw smoke fill the air and the soldiers fall in groups. They rolled down the hill and died.
The Ming Army's preparation was too much. It was abnormal. It was like a well-planned trap. If they continued to fight, could they really defeat them and kill their way out?
Hercules also had self-doubt.
More Ming Army emerged from the valley and came down the mountain to where the cannon soldiers were. When the cannon soldiers were unable to stop the Northern Barbarians from charging, the shining spears and spears had already completed their battle preparations. What awaited the Northern Barbarians was an even crueler battle.
Retreat!
This word suddenly appeared in Hercules' mind.
"Great Leader, let's retreat! He couldn't fight anymore! If we continue to fight, we will all die here! The Han were prepared! We can't fight our way up! "
A young leader was very clear-headed. His leg was injured, and he seemed to have been hit by a lead bullet. He was supported by his subordinates, crying and begging for everyone to retreat. The Hans had obviously set up a trap for them, and if they continued to fight, they didn't know what would happen.
He Qiuli stubbornly shook his head.
"Continue to hold on! If we can fight our way through and kill all these Han, we will get something unexpected! We've already come this far. Are we going to let our people die for nothing? "
He Qiuli said angrily, "If you want to retreat, then do it yourself! That is, if you aren't afraid of being killed by the cannons! Also, you won't get any benefits after this! "
The young leader looked at He Qiuli with anger.
"You will regret this!"
Then, he got on his horse and gathered his people with a few of his bodyguards. They started to gallop along the road, and it seemed like they were going to retreat.
"Are we really going to let him go?"
Someone beside him asked.
"Let him go. Let's see if he can get out! With so many cannons firing, does he think he can get out? He's courting death! Our path to survival is there! We can only charge through! Only then can we survive! "
"Yes!"
His words had stirred up the fighting spirit of the people around him. He Qiuli was quite confident in his ability to control people's hearts. The self-doubt he had just now disappeared instantly, and he strengthened his conviction.
This conviction was exchanged for the death of a large number of Northern Barbarians in a short period of time. They feigned an attack, but the Ming Army had the advantage of high ground. Their spears were longer than the weapons of the Northern Barbarians, and a large number of Northern Barbarians were stabbed to death on the mountainside and then fell down. Most importantly, the snipers were also shooting non-stop. The Northern Barbarians did not have any defensive shields, and once they were hit, they would die without a doubt.
At this time, the young leader's cavalry was gradually taking shape and was quickly leaving the battlefield. Xiao Ruxun saw it.
"Shiro, it's time."
Wang Hui also saw the cavalry that was trying to leave the battlefield.
"Yes, send the signal! Tell General Tong to lead the female elite cavalry out and block their path. "
Xiao Ruxun nodded and gave the order.
Wang Hui immediately obeyed. He ordered people to take out whistling arrows and shot three arrows into the sky.
The young leader who was trying to leave the battlefield with a few hundred of his clansmen were immersed in the joy of escaping death. They saw that the exit was just around the corner, and that their lives would be saved. Suddenly, a rain of arrows came in front of them.
They looked forward and were instantly scared half to death.
Ming Army! So many Ming Army! So many Ming Army cavalry!
In order to complete Xiao Ruxun's mission, Nurhachi spared no effort. Not to mention that he could easily reap the heads of the enemies in this battle, he was even more delighted. He led his clansmen and charged forward. With a clean and neat massacre, he killed the hundreds of enemies in an instant. Then, he howled and charged into the valley.
Only then did Hetuo realize that the Ming Army also had an ambush on the other side of the valley.
It immediately felt different.
There were so many cavalry. How could he say that they were exhausted?
The Ming Army was not at the end of their rope. This was a meticulously planned trap, waiting for him to fall into it. He had fallen into the trap. The Ming Army wanted him to bring his clansmen here to die.
Such thoughts continued to erode his faith.
With the addition of the elite Jurchen cavalry, the Northern Invaders who had stayed at the bottom of the valley and had not charged up the valley were met with a calamity. The Jurchen cavalry swept through the entire valley like a whirlwind. Many of the cavalrymen who had charged at the back did not manage to reap any benefits and had no choice but to charge up the slope. Some of them even jumped off their horses and charged up the slope to attack the Northern Invaders together with the spearmen.
This was not enough. Xiao Ruxun still had an ambush that had not been released. To be precise, that cavalry had not given the signal.
Suddenly, a whistling arrow exploded in the sky. Xiao Ruxun looked at the sky to her left and immediately understood what had happened.
"Li Rusong is done."
He said to Wang Hui.
"This battle is over. Let Li Rusong join in! If I don't give him a chance to fight, he will find trouble with me. These Female Zhenrens are really fierce when they kill their enemies! "
