Section 447 Reinforcements

Although the attack plan of the crossing crowd this time is very flexible, in any case, Qian'an County, as the first pass, is bound to be taken quickly.

Only by taking this place as soon as possible can the traversers calmly deal with the next situation.

As expected, the Tartars at the head of the city lit the wolf smoke and sent messengers as soon as they saw the crossing crowd. Now that the soldiers and horses of Luanzhou and Yongping must have moved, Qian Tieshan's side must end the battle as soon as possible.

Therefore, Heto's failure to come out of the city to meet the battle will not affect the outcome of his imminent destruction - at most, half an hour later, when Qian Tieshan finds that the Tartars cannot hold out, he will order a strong attack.

There was no technical difficulty in storming, neither the drawbridge nor the city gate would work in front of the crossers.

The reason why they are reluctant to attack is because once the battle starts inside the county, the scene is easy to become chaotic, the city is easy to catch fire to their own people, and many enemies will flee.

Therefore, it is the best choice to lure out the defenders and horses, but if the opponent really can't defend it, in order to hurry, it can only be attacked.

The city gate slowly opened, and when Heto and Daheren took the lead and rushed out of the city gate tower with three hundred and eighty elite armor, the green jacket army on the opposite side actually shouted and retreated dozens of steps?

Heto, dressed in iron armor and wearing a classic pigtail and pointed iron helmet, couldn't help but laugh when he saw this scene—it was the first time he had encountered a cavalryman who had retreated before the battle began.

The retreat of the Green Jacket Army just left the best space for the Tartars to attack.

Normally, against a Ming army armed with a bird gun and a three-eyed gun, the Tartars would repeatedly charge from a safe distance, luring the opponent to fire in advance, and then crush the enemy in one go.

This mode of battle accompanied the Tartar soldiers all the way from the white mountains and black waters to the foot of the capital, and it worked again and again, and the Ming army never disappointed the opponent.

And today's performance of this group of green jackets has once again refreshed the three views of its uncle. Heto's current mentality, like the tiger in Qianzhi's donkey, has completely seen through the weakness and incompetence of his opponent: "Who gave these stupid dogs the courage to run to provoke our grandfathers?" ”

Reining in the reins of his horse in the open space in front of the drawbridge, Heto looked happily at the silly dog opposite him while waiting for his cavalry to assemble. Three minutes later, the elite Tartar cavalry had already formed a regular cavalry formation behind Heto, and the two armies were far away from each other.

Due to the opponent's retreat just now, the Tartar has room to go around and repeat. The distance between the two armies was now one hundred and fifty meters, and the Tartars could rush to a safe distance of sixty or seventy meters, and then play tricks to lure the opponent into firing.

The next moment, Heto drew his saber, raised his arm high, and made three counterclockwise circles in the air. More than 300 Tartar soldiers who had cooperated for many years understood this moment, and together they began to urge their horses forward, and at the same time, all of them let out various high-decibel screams to exaggerate the tense atmosphere.

The sound of the rumbling and approaching horses' hooves was accompanied by strange screams, coupled with these Tartar soldiers with fleshy faces and murderous bodies, the atmosphere on the battlefield was indeed raised to an extremely tense level.

Heto, who rushed to the front, had already run fifty meters away at this moment. As he expected, the soldiers on their horses on the opposite side began to raise their birds' guns.

Heto was sure that when he had gone twenty or thirty meters further, his opponent would shoot—first one or two cowards who couldn't hold their urine and fire, and then everyone would pull the trigger.

For Heto, who was wearing heavy armor, even at a distance of fifty meters, these sub-medicines would hurt at most, and would not cause him substantial damage.

So he swung his saber vigorously and roared loudly, desperately trying to create a momentum of charging into battle. But in fact, the reins in his hand did not relax, and the horse under his crotch would turn sideways at any time under his control, and bend sideways in front of the opponent's formation.

The next moment, Heto rushed to a distance of seventy meters, and there was still eighty meters between the two sides.

At the same time, the opposing gunners fired two volleys in a neat row.

After seeing the neat white smoke coming out of the array, Heto grinned: as expected, these cowards from the south were far worse than the border troops, so they opened fire at such a distance.

And then he flew.

Heto was the most eye-catching when he charged, so he was hit four times the first time. The huge force of the impact was partially spread out by the iron armor, causing his butt to fall backwards, blood rushing from his mouth, and flying straight on his horse.

At this moment, time slowed down. Heto flew in the air, first in surprise at the severed arm flying beside him, and then he saw the stream of fire from the hands of those flower-clad auxiliaries in the corner of the opponent's formation.

Finally, when Heto slammed on the corpse behind him, blood spurted from his mouth, and he looked up at the starry sky, and finally a thought passed through his mind: it turned out that the group retreated so that we would not escape back......

....................................

Starting from Tianjin, after walking through the 200-mile plain, the upper left corner is the capital. If you go straight to the north, you will pass through a section of Yanshan Mountain, which is Santunying.

If you go to the upper right corner and cross the plains around Tangshan, you will go around Luan County below Qian'an.

In the Ming Dynasty, Luan County was called Luanzhou, and the city was named after the Luan River.

Because Luanzhou was stuck in the North China Plain to move to the plain arteries of the cities of An Yongping, the geographical location was more important, and when the crossing people launched an attack, more than 800 Tartar soldiers gathered in the city of Luanzhou.

Early this morning, when the head of Luanzhou City saw the wolf smoke billowing up in the northern sky, the blue-flag armor Lae Jinnamutai, who was in charge of the defense, began to gather troops and horses as soon as possible, and opened the north gate to reinforce Qian'an.

Namuthai is a brave man who carries out orders without compromise, and from another point of view, he is a bit of a tendon.

In history, when Sun Chengzong led his troops to recover the cities of Zunhua and Yongping, the Ming and Qing dynasties had a formal exchange of fire, and the only thing that the Ming army had captured was in Luanzhou.

At that time, the Tartar soldiers in Luanzhou City, under the command of Namutai, once held the city for three days.

Amin learned that Luanzhou was besieged in Yongping, so he sent the general Baduli to lead hundreds of troops to help, and at the same time withdrew the defenders of Qian'an and other places to Yongping.

After the Ming army drove away the Baduli reinforcements, they began to bombard Luanzhou City with Hongyi artillery. After three days, the defender Namuthai felt that he could not hold on, and finally abandoned the city, and his troops scattered to Yongping.

On the way to escape, Namutai's men were intercepted by the Ming army Ma Rulong, losing more than 400 of his troops. Then Amin ordered the entire line to withdraw from Shanhaiguan and return to Shenyang, and the Ming army recovered Luanzhou and other four cities.

That is to say, the so-called "Zunyong Great Victory" in history, Sun Chengzong mobilized more than 200,000 Qinwang troops to attack the four cities, but was withdrawn by Amin Congrong to collect troops, and slaughtered Yongping, and finally the real Tartar head was only dispersed The 400 people who were intercepted and killed.

In short, Comrade Namuthai fought bravely and straightened out, and this point is not discounted.

In history, after the Ming Dynasty army attacked, he could still insist on defending the city for three days, so after crossing the plane and seeing the wolf smoke from Qian'an, he also didn't think too much, and immediately gathered half of the soldiers and horses in the city to go out of the city to rescue.

It didn't take long for the cavalry of 400 men to reach Qian'an, because the distance between the two sides was only more than 50 miles.

At this point in time, Heto was on the tower of the city to unify his thoughts with his subordinates, and prepare to go down and fight with the people.

However, Namutay's reinforcements were forced to pause as soon as they left the city fifteen miles.

The reinforcements were along the official road, and at first they ran smoothly and without any obstacles, but as they walked, Namuthai suddenly saw that the front team was not moving. Then when he hurried his horse to the front of the group and lined up his men who were huddled in a large circle, he couldn't help but gasp.

On the official road in front of Namuthai, at some point, someone pierced a circle of horses with sharp wooden stakes. The work of the horses is very rough, that is, some branches are hastily cut and sharpened and inserted into the soil, and the color on the branches is still very fresh, and the time is never more than an hour.

It is said that in this shoddy horse, one or two people can pull out all the branches, but there is another peculiarity in the middle of the horse—a half-man high stake is erected, and a two-foot-square iron box is topped on top of it.

When Namuthai saw this scene, he immediately began to look around. It's not about the horses themselves: since someone has put up this strange formation on the official road, it is to stop the horse team. So Namuthai hurriedly looked around to see if there was any suitable terrain nearby for an ambush.

The result was nothing - in Namuty's line of sight, except for a forest three hundred meters away, the rest were flat.

And this forest is so small that it can't hide even a hundred people, let alone an army that can eat four hundred Manchurian Tatars in an ambush.

So Namuty, after looking around, focused his attention on the present: "Tear down the horses." ”

Someone dismounted at the sound of the sound, and when he got up, he easily pulled out his hands and kicked the sharp wooden poles that were hastily inserted into the soil, and could not even be called a horse, and threw them beside the road.

"Bring the box, don't open it."

When his subordinates heard the sound, they first circled around the stake, and after not finding any mechanism, they stretched out their arms, and with some difficulty they "lifted" the dark green iron box from the stake in full view of everyone—there was a handle on the box, which was just right to lift.

"Da Niu Lu, there is something in this box, it is estimated to be masonry, and it has some weight."

Sitting on the horse, Namutai did not answer, but raised his hands slightly, and after signaling his subordinates to raise the box, he began to carefully study the box in front of him.

The dark green iron box was square and shimmered with a strange metallic luster. On the side facing Namuthai, there were some ghost talismans painted with white lacquer, just like the chalk talismans that the warriors had painted on their foreheads before they set out for battle.

When Namutey looked closely, he saw that he didn't recognize any of the symbols, including the three letters "USA" in capital letters, which he couldn't read at all.

Namuthai didn't touch the monster next, but shook his finger and motioned for his men to turn the box around.

There was still a ghost drawing on the other side of the box, and Namutai leaned over slightly, his cheek close to the surface of the box, staring at the three letters "TNT" and frowning.

The next moment, the box exploded.

There were twenty pounds of U.S.-made TNT in it.
