Chapter 008: The Iron Cavalry of Guan Ning is Here
It was not until he saw Chen's doctoral degree that Zhu Bin realized that all of this was orchestrated by this mad scientist, who had instructed someone to kill his own girlfriend and then allowed himself to suffer unjustly. However, in this world, no one would ever know the truth behind it all
He repeatedly referred to "General Commander," elevating the title of Zu Dashou. Liu Feng, merely a minor flag officer, felt a myriad of unwillingness in his heart, yet he did not dare to speak out. Suppressing his anger, he reluctantly responded and hurriedly went to prepare branches with his subordinates.
With the sound of a whistling arrow, powerful feathered arrows swept overhead like a swarm of locusts. Following closely were the cavalry of the Later Jin, their fierce faces now clearly visible, and the shouts of the Jurchens could be distinctly heard by the cavalry.
Seeing Liu Feng's disgruntled expression, Zhu Bin felt quite pleased. It seems that regardless of the era, having someone backing you truly makes things easier. However, it is uncertain whether this Zu Dashou can be relied upon for the long term
Seeing the soldiers showing signs of exhaustion, Yishiha was contemplating issuing an order to retreat when suddenly, a cloud of dust rose in the distance, resembling a yellow fog. Within the fog, the sounds of battle echoed thunderously as a fiercely formidable cavalry surged through the yellow mist, with a large flag at the rear, upon which a prominent character "Ming" shone brilliantly in the sunlight
Suddenly, a chorus of exclamations erupted among the troops of the Later Jin. The soldiers of the Later Jin, who were resting on the ground, hurriedly stood up, grabbed their nearby sabers, and hastily mounted their horses. However, in that moment, it was impossible to form an orderly line.
Ambush, ambush
Quickly, wow
Our troops are lined up, do not act recklessly, fire the arrows! Ultimately, having lost the battlefield experience, he quickly issued the order in an instant.
Upon hearing the name "Guanning Iron Cavalry," Yishiha was momentarily taken aback. He had personally participated in the Battle of Guangqumen, where the tens of thousands of troops from the Later Jin, led by him, were utterly defeated by the nine thousand Guanning Iron Cavalry, which had long become the greatest humiliation for the Jurchens. However, when he realized that the opposing Southern Dynasty army consisted of only a few dozen men, he immediately regained his spirits, drew his sabre, and shouted:
As the commander, Yishiha also began to feel increasingly irritable during this time with Tushu. Those people from the Southern Dynasties were truly cowardly to the extreme; they dared not fight and all hid within Jianchang City, becoming nothing more than turtles withdrawing their heads.
Wu - San - Gui
With a gesture from Wu Sangui, fifty cavalrymen swiftly remounted their horses. Wu Sangui drew his heavy broadsword and shouted, "The Guanning Iron Cavalry is here, Wu Sangui is here, kill the dogs!"
How to act? Zhu Bin furrowed his brow deeply. To send fifty-one people to fight against two thousand Tartars, is that a death wish? Zhu Bin would rather die than do such a thing. However, the order from Grand Master Zu Da Shou is there; if he does not carry it out, as an ordinary citizen without background or official position, he fears that he will lose his head upon returning.
Yishihah also charged forward, wild light dancing in his eyes. When he saw a young general among the Southern Dynasty soldiers, unstoppable and cutting down countless of his own subordinates amidst the thousands of troops, Yishihah quickly realized who he was. He shouted loudly:
"Zhu... Zhu Daren..." Liu Feng hesitated to call out from behind. It is no wonder that Liu Feng hesitated to address someone—after all, Zhu Bin held no official title, and calling him 'General' would not only elevate him but also be against protocol. However, to address him by his name would be exceedingly disrespectful. After much consideration, he could only reluctantly refer to him as 'Daren': "Our troops have already left the city. Considering the time, Young Master Wu is also approaching the camp of the Jurchens. Daren, how should we proceed now?"
The spirit of the soldiers, along with the valiant momentum of Wu Sangui, quickly infected the already formidable Guanning Iron Cavalry. The unified roar of fifty men surprisingly drowned out the sounds of galloping hooves and the cries of battle
After thinking for a long time, Zhu Bin suddenly said: "Director Liu Qi, have the soldiers prepare more branches, tie them to the horses' tails, and let them run back and forth. The greater the momentum we create, the better, to simulate the pressure of a large army. However, we must not approach the enemy camp. If any Jurchen scouts come close, just shoot them with arrows..."
Quickly, wow
At this time, it was nearing noon. The Jin army, two thousand strong, had been shouting and cursing beneath the walls of Jianchang for quite a while, yet there was no response from the Southern Dynasty forces. One by one, they felt extremely bored, and as their hunger gradually grew, the initial fervor of the vanguard had completely dissipated.
Do not panic, there are not many Southern dogs. Today, let them witness the prowess of the Jurchen warriors and eliminate all these Southern dogs!
Although the commander of the Guanning Iron Cavalry, Yuan Chonghuan, has been executed by the Emperor Chongzhen of the Southern Dynasty, the illustrious reputation of this unit still instills fear in the soldiers of the Later Jin.
The words of the mad scientist suddenly echoed in Zhu Bin's mind
I possess supreme authority; there is nothing I cannot accomplish!
Leading the charge was none other than Wu Sangui, commanding the Fifty Guanning Iron Cavalry. His youthful face displayed an unexpected calmness as he gestured to the rear troops, prompting the Guanning Iron Cavalry to immediately disperse. Following this, Wu Sangui pressed his hand downward towards the rear troops, and the cavalrymen promptly dismounted, bringing their steeds down with them.
... ...
The voice of "The Guanning Iron Cavalry is here" echoed on the battlefield, causing even the valiant and battle-hardened Jurchen cavalry to hesitate. The heroic figure of the Guanning Iron Cavalry, undefeated in the battles of Ningyuan and Guangqumen, still lingers in the minds of the Jurchens, refusing to dissipate.
"Sir!" Liu Feng argued loudly, "The order given to us by the town is to charge into the enemy ranks, not to cower in fear for our lives!"
The Iron Cavalry of Guan Ning is here, kill the dogs
Indeed, supreme power, regardless of the era, is the only means to achieve anything. Zhu Bin gritted his teeth; in that moment, he suddenly found his place in this era. Power, immense power, is the only pursuit he has, the sole goal that exists in his heart
Originally, Zhu Bin was quite pleased with himself for coming up with this plan, feeling that his strategy was comparable to that of Zhuge Liang. Who would have thought that he would be accused by Liu Feng of being cowardly and afraid of death, which instantly made him feel embarrassed. With a cold expression, he said: "The intention of the commander is to take advantage of the Jurchen's fatigue and launch a surprise attack to create chaos, allowing our main forces to take advantage of the situation for a decisive strike. My method of strategy is different now, but the intention is similar. Before we set out, the commander ordered that everything must be under my command; how dare you not comply?"
Three hundred cavalry from the Zhenglan Banner surrounded fifty-one members of the Guanning Iron Cavalry Regiment. The clash of swords and spears echoed as shouts of men and neighs of horses filled the air. Continuous cries of agony were heard as riders fell from their horses, and before they could rise, they were swiftly trampled to death by the hooves of the horses
