Chapter 233: Under the Bauhinia Pass

"You said that Bauhinia Pass is guarding the Southern Army?" The Assassin said with some suspicion.

"Your subordinates can swear to the heavens that there will be no mistakes." Said Tanma, who had come back to report.

A sneering in his heart, first looking three points shorter.

I don't know how much effort it took to go south, and I don't want to say too much detailed information, but the most basic information is still known, such as the elite of the Ming Dynasty are all on the nine sides, and the army of the Southern Guard Station is a mess.

When the Assassin found out that Bauhinia Pass was actually an army south of the Ming Dynasty, he immediately felt that it was an opportunity.

Whether it was because of the lack of strength of the Ming army and had to transfer troops from the south, or because the Ming army made a mistake in arranging the troops and missing the key place of Bauhinia Pass.

This is an opportunity for the Assassins.

Under the order of the Assassin Governor's Academy, the team entered the Puyin Trail, but along the way, they saw that on the mountains on both sides, pillars of smoke rose into the sky, and they knew that they had been discovered by the Ming army.

simply didn't hide it, and sent a cavalry under his command to rush straight to the Bauhinia Pass with the speed of the soldiers.

Almost on the side of Bauhinia Pass, I just saw the wolf smoke passed over one by one, but it was only half a day, and the Tile Thorn Brigade appeared on the south bank of the Juma River.

As mentioned above, these Taihang Eight Paths, all of which are unknown how many years, are the result of river erosion, which is an ancient river channel, but most of these ancient river channels have dried up due to the vicissitudes of geological changes, but there are also some places, in the ancient river channels, new rivers have appeared.

And the Juma River is one such river.

Where the Bauhinia Pass is located, it is a valley, and there is a river in the valley, which is divided into sections. It is narrower in Hebei, while it is wider in Henan.

The Juma River flows out from here into the Daqing River and becomes an important river in the north of the Daqing River.

Although there were some military buildings in Zijing Pass at this time, the section of these two or three miles was never blocked, together with the Juma River.

Although Bauhinia Pass is a military location, if it is not a good word, if it is not the capital of Beijing, the importance of Bauhinia Pass is not so great.

Previously, the battle example related to the Bauhinia Pass was that Genghis Khan attacked Juyong Pass, and then turned to attack here, and broke through Juyong Pass with internal and external attacks.

After that, even in the early Ming war, this place was more used as a passage than a level.

Historically, it was also after the siege of Beijing that Juyong Pass, Bauhinia Pass, and Reverse Horse Pass, as the three inner passes of the capital, were taken very seriously.

But Fang Jin has been stationed here for a little month.

Nor did he do nothing.

On the contrary, he did a lot of things.

First, he dug up the entire valley.

Although for a while, it is not possible to build a city that blocks the mountain road for one or two miles

Probably, but 30,000 soldiers, digging trenches here, high bases and deep ditches can be done.

Even Fang Jin has always had an idea, that is, should he cut off the Juma River and turn the deep ditch into a moat?

It's just that the project was a little too big, so I gave up.

But even so, the entire defense system of the Ming army is quite perfect.

The width of the zhang is more than that, and the trench that is one person deep is not needed. Of course, not all trenches are of this standard, after all, this is a mountainous area, and stones have been dug in many places, so there is no way.

Therefore, Fang Jin was nearly half a zhang tall behind the trench, that is, one person high, with antlers on it, rejecting horses. This high platform is not straight up and down, but also has some slopes, which will not give the enemy a dead angle that can be used.

Most of the soldiers were arrayed on the high platform.

Shaofu built a large number of firearms, which were not welcomed in the Shenji Battalion, but they were a good thing in the Fujian Army, for no other reason, the Fujian Army was almost new from top to bottom.

After Fang Jin's tidying up, almost all the blood in the Fujian army was exchanged. In terms of military discipline, it is not much different from the elite of the Ming army.

But Fang Jin was actually still worried about the hand-to-hand combat ability of the Fujian army.

The saying that the southerners are unbearable is not only known to the Watt Thorn people, but even in the Ming army, it is spread like the truth.

Some people may think that Emperor Taizu is not the success of the Northern Expedition? How dare you say that the southerners are unbearable?

I'm sorry, please look at the origins of the founding generals, they are all Huaixi people, and Huaixi people don't think they are southerners.

Therefore, Fang Jin felt that the Fujian soldiers should be avoided from hand-to-hand combat with the tile spurs.

And the fire gun sent by Shaofu was exactly what Fang Jin wanted.

Shaofu's firecracker, although it is not treated by the Shenji battalion, but the quality is the best, and the distribution of military materials of the Ming army has always been the first in the Beijing camp, the second in the border army, and the southern border guard, if you fight, you can still think of you, if you don't fight, you will simply forget.

Fang Jin deeply understood that the Fujian army he led was not an arrogant Shenji battalion, it would be good to have good things, where there was room for picking.

With these firearms, Fang Jin's arrangement gave full play to the firepower of the Ming army.

It's like this.

The west of the Bauhinia Pass, the Tile Spur striker, was slightly reorganized, and the first wave of attacks began.

Countless horsemen leaned on their horses and galloped eastward. Before approaching the trench, he did not turn over and dismount, but suddenly jumped his horse and pounced on the formation of the Ming army.

Fang Jin is a stable fighter on a high platform, where he is located, is the core of the position on the southern front of the Juma River, where you can have an overview of the overall situation.

For a while, there was only the loud shouts of the Tile Spur soldiers, and the Ming army did not have a sound from top to bottom. But on the high platform, a full three rows of firecrackers took aim through the gaps in the fence

The Mongol knight who was about to fly over the trench.

The sound of bows and arrows clattering through the air was endless.

"Boom, boom." Several small cannons suddenly erupted neatly, as if they were orders, and suddenly countless iron sand with gunpowder smoke covered the entire battlefield.

Countless firecrackers also began to roar crisply.

For a while, I don't know how many Mongolian soldiers fell one after another.

It's just that the quality of firearms in this era can't be overestimated too much, no matter the frequency of firepower in this era, or the range, it will not be to the point of dominating the battlefield.

Otherwise, Emperor Taizong, who has rich experience in war, will only use the firearm as the firepower of the outermost front line, and really decide the winner or loser, or the battle of the army.

During the Russo-Japanese War, there were still people shouting that the bayonet was a hero, and the bullet was a fool.

The Tile Thorn people came in full spirit, and it was when they were violent, so they naturally would not retreat because of a few casualties.

The first wave of firepower of the Ming army was naturally extremely dense, as if it was a heavy hammer, smashing these spur soldiers who rushed to the front to the ground.

But after that, the firepower was not so intensive.

Someone actually jumped two or three feet on his horse and pounced in front of the high platform, just facing a seemingly simple fence. But he couldn't attack it.

This fence, before there were antlers to resist horses, the fence is also made of solid wood, the foundation is buried deep in the ground I don't know how many meters, in short, it is extremely strong.

Of course, even if it's solid, it's all a dead guy, and as long as you give the Wattshire soldiers a little time to clear the little obstacle, it's not a problem.

But just one or two meters later, there were a large number of firecrackers, and such a distance was almost aimed at the door of the head.

Anyone who pauses here for a moment will be killed by an unknown number of soldiers.

Although the accuracy of the firearm is very problematic, this kind of humanoid target two or three meters in front of him is not lost.

There are even people who directly hit people and horses on the fence, as if they want to make a gap, but there are also pikemen, they line up behind the musketeers, and follow the fence, and the enemy can stab people and horses into bloody holes.

After a short but brutal attack, the Wattspur retreated, leaving behind hundreds of corpses.

Fang Jin didn't seem to move, but he secretly breathed a sigh in his heart.

When he knew that the Tile Thorn army was attacking, a string tightened in his heart, because he knew too well the importance of his position.

If he wins, he will naturally have merit, but once he is defeated, he will never be able to live, and he will not dare to live.

If Cheng Guogong is like a prince, such a heavy responsibility, let the tile spur harass the Jingshi, and he Fang Jin can't afford to have a few heads. So, he had only two choices, win or die.

Now, this small victory, although it does not have the overall situation, finally proves that his tactics are not a problem.
