Chapter 181 Artillery fire
"Well, it's not slow." Ye Fu nodded and said, "The Tartar chieftain is bound to win Guangning this time, and after being dormant for so long, it must be suppressed." Once the city of Quang Ninh is broken, the next few forts will not be enough to resist the Tartars, and a large number of people will inevitably die at the hands of the enemy. If the Tatar chieftains are more cruel, once the city is broken, the people will be slaughtered, and it is not unprecedented, and this must be paid attention to. Our troops, as fast as they can, should be as fast as possible. Compared to unarmed civilians, it is easier for us soldiers to escape from the Tartars. ”
"But is there really nothing wrong with not carrying heavy artillery?" The steward on duty asked.
For this operation, the people below have quite a lot of complaints about such things as asking to give up heavy artillery, and they believe that this is a manifestation of essentially giving up their own advantages.
But Ye Fu was extremely stubborn in this matter and insisted on not opening anything.
"I know that by abandoning heavy artillery, you lose a winning chip. However, with heavy artillery, the speed could not keep up. What's more, with so many people, it is already an added burden. With artillery again, are we going to save people, or are we going to give gifts to the Tartars? Do you know what happens when those new guns fall into the hands of the Tartars? ”
"I don't know this~~ I don't know what I do." The steward on duty said, "Probably, there won't be too much of a problem, right?" After all, the Tartars do not attach importance to artillery, and there are no relevant talents in this area. Even if you want to use it, it's not easy. ”
"No one? That's not a problem! For the Tartars, they can always use money to recruit qualified artillery talents. This is not the first time they have been there. As for not paying attention to this issue, I have suffered several big losses, and it is impossible not to pay attention to it. This is not the first time I have warned you not to take the enemy lightly! This is how it was done, and I will remember in the future that if the war is extremely unfavorable, no matter what the value of the artillery, it must be destroyed on the spot. I don't want any of my treacherous artillery guns to be picked up intact by the Tartars, turned around, and used to hit our own people! ”
The war in Quang Ninh was indeed as written in history, and even worse than what was written in history.
Under the calculation of the traitor Sun Degong, he raised the strength of the whole city to face the thunderous blow of Houjin. However, how could Sun Degong, who had already surrendered, do something to his master? As soon as they encountered the enemy, they fled in defeat. Liu Qu, a general who came to reinforce on the order of Xiong Tingbi, was killed, and Zhenwu, Luyang, Shaling, and Xiping fell to the enemy one after another.
Since then, the Ming army stationed in Liaoxi has also been declared annihilated.
In the entire Liaodong and Liaoxi corridor areas, only Ye Fu's lone army in Xianshan Town remained. It can be used to contain the battlefield behind enemy lines, but it is simply unable to hold its wings in the Beijing Division.
"Ruliang, it's up to us next." On a small hillside, Tang Wang held up the telescope uniformly distributed to officers by the dangerous mountain army in his hand, looked around the plain opposite, and said to Song Ruliang, the commander of the first town on his side, "After this battle, Liaodong was full of scorched earth, and the soldiers who could fight were lost. Fortunately, there is still a big handsome, and there are us, as long as our dangerous mountain army is still there, the Ming Dynasty will still have the power to turn over in Liaodong. ”
Song Ruliang was a little embarrassed: "The military order given to us by the marshal is to protect the fleeing people and collect the defeated soldiers who have lost the battle. There was no order to take the initiative! If we take the initiative to attack, will it disrupt the layout of the marshal? ”
Tang Wang snorted, "Do you really think it's a military order from the marshal?" On the order we received, can there be the words of the secret office of the General Military Office? Can you have the signature of a handsome? ”
"However, the marshal also said that the combat office of the military room commands the combat operations of the whole army~~"
"It's a support!" Tang Wang corrected, "The marshal acquiesced in this combat operation, in my opinion, just to cover it up. Use grandiose actions to disguise the true purpose hidden underneath. ”
Song Ruliang wanted to say more, but Tang Wang waved his hand and said, "Needless to say, if the handsome man is blamed afterwards, I Tang Wang will bear it alone!" You don't have to worry about it, just do what I say. Remember, we are the soldiers under the commander of the dangerous mountain army, no matter when, whenever we make a move, we must play the majesty of our dangerous mountain army! ”
~~
The Tartar soldiers who advanced all the way met almost no resistance, and looking at the fortified city in front of them, Nurhachi fell into deep thought.
"Great Khan, aren't you going into the city yet?" Heshuo Belezir Harang looked at Quang Ninh City, which was close at hand, salivating, and was about to drool.
Nurhachi shook his head and said, "Don't you think it's too smooth? ”
Indeed, along the way, there has been little substantial resistance. For a strategically important city like Quang Ninh, it is unthinkable.
"Stay where you are, take a look." In the end, Nurhachi chose a more secure approach.
At the same time, the first town of the Dangerous Mountain Army, which had been broken into pieces, was demolished into several outposts and hung behind the butt of the Houjin army of Nurhachi, which had been gathering the rout and fleeing people, and quietly assembled a little far away from the Houjin army.
It's night, and the moon and stars are scarce.
The first town chose the town headquarters in favorable terrain and occupied a very convenient command point from a distance.
At this time, the independent special arms of the first town, the two brigades under the jurisdiction of the first town, and the officers above the battalion level under each brigade gathered here. All kinds of artillery, which has always been considered by the headquarters not to be brought out, were ordered by the bold Tang Wang from the very beginning to be carried by the independent special forces of the first town, and at this time, with the consent of Song Ruliang, it has also been distributed to combat units at all levels.
The big war is about to break out.
"Ladies and gentlemen." Standing on the main seat was not Tang Wang, who was almost in the nature of a supervising army with the army, but Song Ruliang, the commander of this battle and the commander of the first town, his waist was straight, and his face was slightly red under the light of the fire. In the past, in the eyes of everyone, he seemed to only know how to study the way to make money, but at this time, he finally looked like a town under control, "Tonight is the first major battle that my first town has experienced since it became an army. If this battle is successful, then our dangerous mountain army can stand majestic! If this battle is lost, then all the kings and Song will be the sinners of the entire dangerous mountain army! Ladies and gentlemen, raise soldiers for a thousand days, and use them for a while. Dashuai let me wait to eat and drink enough on weekdays, and enjoy preferential treatment that I had not enjoyed before. At this time, it is time for us to work together and serve the field! I command! It's time to go back and get ready! Attack on time and according to the plan! ”
The sleeping Houjin army did not know that the catastrophe was coming, and in the darkness, one by one the black barrels were silently aimed at the enemy's position.
At the same time, with a command, the independent artillery battalion of the first town and the independent artillery units under the two brigades under its jurisdiction opened fire together, and for a while, the sound of artillery shook the sky, and the night sky was instantly dyed red by flames.
