Wu Jingsi spread the good news to Hongluo Mountain, and the soldiers and horses in the camps were slowly moving along the way, and the soldiers and horses were gathering one by one, or arranging the armament, tying the armor, and the quartermaster officers of each battalion shouted to carry the boxes of sub-medicine from the baggage carts and distribute them to the firecrackers at each outpost.

The horse galloped past, and Wu Jingsi and a few followers could also see what was written in black ink on the white wooden box at a glance. "Alas! The Musketman's fixed load! Wu Jingsi looked at the amount of ammunition at least twenty rounds per firecracker soldier a little greedily. Although he is the captain of Wu Sangui's cronies, he can be regarded as having seen a big scene, and Jingshi has also followed Wu Zongbing a few times, not the kind of soil bun who has never seen the world. For the elite ability of their own army, Wu Jingsi and his master Wu Sangui are quite proud. However, since the start of the war in Liaodong, I have asked myself, whether it is the model brigade that fought side by side some time ago, or the Nanyue Army, which is the backbone of the whole army and has a strong backing, from tactics to ordnance, munitions, and discipline, which one has opened the eyes of the Liaodong Army.

"It's not in vain that the handsome deigns to be this godson under the knees of the county lord!"

In private, Wu Sangui had already revealed his thoughts to these cronies, and as soon as the war situation in Liaodong changed slightly, the war situation became clear, and everyone had a gap, the matter of organizing and training the new army would be opened. The cavalry should be trained according to the method of the model brigade and horse, and at least 10,000 people will be trained! Anyway, there are many people in Liaodong who can ride horses, and any one who pulls it out is better than the people of the model brigade horse team! As for the firecrackers and artillery teams in the infantry, Wu Sangui coveted them.

"There are many soldiers and generals!" This is Wu Sangui's truest experience in this troubled world. As long as there are tens of thousands of elites in hand, for the imperial court, it is to take and demand.

In order to be able to realize his grandiose and somewhat arrogant plan to expand the army: to train 10,000 cavalry, at least 30,000 infantry, 10,000 musketeers, and at least 200 large and small artillery. It is the rest of the 20,000 pikemen, sword and shield soldiers, and they are also one color to be equipped with Nanzhong equipment. Wu Sangui has already handed over all his belongings to his "uncle" Li Peiting.

And this uncle also agreed to his grandson's request very righteously, and returned most of the money to Wu Sangui: "Uncle, our grandfather doesn't need these imaginary numbers." You can use the silver with the troops, and you can use all kinds of local products in Liaodong to offset the payment in the future. ”

Privately, Li Peiting also supported Wu Sangui's plan to swallow the Liaodong military horses in one gulp. For this reason, he has already put 500,000 silver dollars to this good grandson, so that he can let go of the Liaodong military horses in Tashan and other places at this time.

"Others support us so much, if we can't support Adou, then we can't blame others!" At the internal private meeting in Ningyuan Town, Wu Sangui handed over his hole cards to his subordinates and cronies with a face. If you want to become the third representative of Liaodong Jiangmen after Li Chengliang and Zu Dashou, you have to speak with real achievements. Otherwise, Li Huamei's godson is not Wu Sangui, why is he so supportive?

This is why Wu Sangui desperately attacked Tashan with all his might.

Another reason and purpose. That is, he can take advantage of the right of arbitrariness granted to him by Li Huamei to command the former enemy, purge the non-descendant and miscellaneous troops in the battalions of Ningyuan Town and the various departments of Shanhai Town, and annex these troops on the grounds of ineffective combat and cowardice. Completely turn Ningyuan Town and Shanhai Town into the Wu family!

Along the way, Wu Jingsi was surprised to find that in addition to the troops of the Guards Brigade, the four land battalions of the Sailor Division were also assembled in the Hongluo Mountain area, and the huge battalion phalanx spread Hongluo Mountain so that it was almost impossible to see the ground.

"It seems that the county lord's mother is determined to win today!"

Seeing the artillery teams of the Guards Brigade and the Sailor Division shouting cattle and horses to line up the heavy cannons, Wu Jingsi was also extremely excited. I am quite proud that Dashuai can send him to report the victory at this time. At this juncture, the news of a victory in the first battle is important for the determination of the commander and the morale of the whole army. The impact is undoubtedly enormous. Who knows what benefits this sloppy county lord will reward him?

"Go back and tell your family General Xia Chengde, as long as he leads his troops out of Songshan Fort City to the south to harass the defense of the slave chieftain Dolgon and Duoduo's subordinates, after the Tashan incident is over, the lord of this county should be the commander of the Ming father and protect his military exploits!" Don't dare to say anything else, a lieutenant general is still captured! ”

In the big tent. Li Huamei's cold and arrogant voice came, and without thinking about it, Wu Jingsi was very friendly and nodded to several officers of the Guards Brigade and the leaders of the female barracks who were familiar with her, tied up the war horse in a proper manner, and waited for Li Huamei's summons.

Matsuyama's messenger from Xia Chengde hurried out of the big tent. took dozens of family members to fly away, and Cheng Qiguan took Wu Jingsi into the account.

"Grandson Wu Jingsi, I've seen my grandmother! Grandmother, Hail Blessings! ”

"In today's first battle, my Ningyuan Town first ascended the division encountered thousands of slaves and thieves with white flags and white flags, and the traitors were well-armed and had many firearms, and the court of the Son of Heaven was blessed, and the command of Grandmother Lai was determined, and the soldiers used their lives, several hand-to-hand fights, and finally defeated the enemy, and now the first line of defense of thieves and slaves has been conquered, the thieves are killed and wounded, there are more than 1,400 corpses on the battlefield, and there is no artillery fire to destroy the stumps! ……”

This kind of news is naturally a great good news for the civil and military officers in the big tent, especially the Liaodong Governor Qiu Minyang's eyebrows suddenly danced, although in Songshan Fort, he had nearly 10,000 elite soldiers and horses, but after all, those were all put together by the Xuanda Army and the Model Brigade and the Liaodong Army, and there were no generals who could fight in the castle, so by commanding the general attack on Tashan with Li Huamei, he left the Songshan dangerous place and arrived at the Hongluo Mountain camp. In his opinion, the Liaodong Army commanded by Wu Sangui was, in a sense, his subordinates, not incapable of fighting. As long as the imperial court gives food and salaries generously and makes the supply continuous, don't say that it is possible to take the tower mountain guarded by the slave chief Dolgon Duoduo and the two people, even if it is possible to take Shengjing directly!

"Sue your family's head town, be sure to fight steadily and steadily, and prevent the slave chiefs from counterattacking with elites."

Although in Qiu Minyang's eyes, Li Huamei is just a female streamer who relies on her father's Yu Yin, her battlefield experience is far stronger than that of Qiu Dada, who was captured by Huang Taiji in Songshan with Inspector Hong in history, but was martyred in Shenyang City.

Qiu Min was born in imperial history, and was influenced by his profession to be more strict in his work, and his personality was relatively indifferent. But Li Huamei's deployment arrangement is very appetizing to him.

"The county lord was not overjoyed when he heard the victory, but told his subordinates to beware of the slave chieftain to fight back with elites, which was really everyone's demeanor, which made the students admire."

For this somewhat roundabout old master, Li Huamei still respects it. At the moment, he nodded with a smile, which was regarded as a polite expression of praise from Lord Qiu, and ordered the fathead fish to take a double-barreled fine firearm and hand it to Wu Jingsi, which was regarded as a reward for his success.

On the battlefield of Tashan, it has been beaten into a pot of hot porridge! Hot porridge made from human flesh and blood!

The battle to break through the second line of defense of the Qing army was even more tragic than the first line of defense.

According to Dolgon's deployment, the second line of defense had far more troops than the first line, and the space for firearms was much shorter than that of the first line. In this small space, people had to abandon the support of artillery fire, relying on short guns and horsetail grenades and the most traditional cold weapons in their hands!

Here, the Qing army had a complete superiority in strength, and the Ming officers and soldiers who rushed up were caught off guard by the arrows that came head-on before they could gain a firm foothold. Within an average distance of less than seventy paces, it was the best killing range for the Red Flag Archers, and the Ming army that rushed in with a roar fell in a blink of an eye.

But. Like Cheng Biting Jin, Wu Sangui is in addition to his three-board axe. There is also a back hand. That is, in addition to the order that each wave of the Ming army would only rush and kill for a quarter of an hour, the soldiers could be withdrawn, and the commanders of each battalion should be left behind to provide experience and advice for the commanders of the next charging team. Of course, with military merit, the benefits are also shared by the two families.

saw that his soldiers and horses were shot a lot by the oncoming rain of arrows. He Anguo, the general of the first wave of shock, shouted: "Volley of firecrackers!" The killers are on the move! If Jiannu rushes up, the killer team will go up with Lao Tzu! Go up and fight knives and guns! ”

In addition to the horsemen and infantrymen, if the Liaodong military town is classified according to the weapons used, it is divided into killer team and firearms team, and the killer team is except for archers. All kinds of cold weapons are complete. At that moment, the sword and shield soldiers of the killer team held long knives and large shields in their hands, and moved forward intensively, blocking the rain of arrows with the shields in their hands, buying time for the fire soldiers behind them to line up and shoot.

"Fire!"

Dense bullets blew through the formation of the Qing army like a white-haired wind on the grassland, and rows of people fell. Then, there was a situation that even Du Du and his son did not expect.

"Kill Nikan!"

A strong man waved the crescent axe in his hand, covered in blood, and rushed towards the Ming army more than a dozen paces away, and after a few steps, he fell to the ground.

"Kill!" Behind him, hundreds of people rushed over, and the two streams of people collided head-on!

The dozen or so Niu Lu inlaid with the red flag, although there are not many clothed soldiers equipped with a large number of firearms like the two white flags, which can shoot with the attacking Guanning army, but these Niu Lu are genuine Red Flag Manchuria! What they have always believed in is their bravery and blood!

After facing a row of dense bullets of the Guanning Army, paying more than 100 lives and at least twice the price of hanging colors, the counterattack men and horses with red flags were mixed with the troops of the Guanning Army who stormed the main position of Tashan!

"Kill!"

Du Erhu slashed the heavy sword weighing dozens of catties in his hand, and slashed a Guan Ningjun who was blocking him diagonally from his left shoulder to his right ribs, causing blood and broken flesh to splash his head and face.

Blood and carnage made him feel so much more refreshed inside!

Although this wave of salvo organized by He Anguo dealt a considerable blow to the Qing army, it was also lined up, but in the blink of an eye, the swords, guns, axes and bones of the Qing army rushed in front of the Ming army. In the face of the hideous-looking Tartars, the soldiers with the heavy psychological shadow were still subconsciously ready to turn around and retreat, and some soldiers who were full of silver dollars were also rushing head-on with swords and guns!

The pair of convenient people repeatedly impact in a small space that is only a few dozen steps apart!

More and more soldiers and horses crowded in from the rear, making the already very narrow fighting arena even more crowded. On the battlefield within a radius of only a few miles, tens of thousands of people were invested on both sides. People are fighting for life and death in such a space, and there are no more tricks, almost every time a knife is slashed out, every shot is stabbed, someone will fall to the ground without snorting.

People kept swinging their weapons mechanically, slashing and stabbing the enemy in front of them to the ground, but in an instant, the enemy was also slashed and stabbed with the knife and gun and axe in his hand. The two men repeatedly advanced and retreated on the ground where the corpses and wounds of their respective robes and brothers were lying down. Under the constant impact, countless pairs of big feet wearing iron mesh boots trampled on it, and the wounded soldier who was still moaning gradually lost his sound, and his body gradually cooled down, turning into a corpse.

The blood and lives of the two armies turned the narrow area from Baitai Mountain to Tashan Mountain, which was only a dozen miles wide and less than a few miles deep, into a Shura field. Snowflakes falling overhead. The corpses under his feet and the blood and bodily fluids of the wounded soldiers mixed together, turning the frozen ground in front of the Tower Hill Formation into a mud.

The tragic hand-to-hand combat on the small battlefield continued, but most of the hand-to-hand combat was very short, and because the space was too small, the individual skills of both sides could not be displayed, and it became a cruel and ruthless one-for-one, with both sides using weapons and bodies to resist each other.

However, the superiority of the Ming army gradually became apparent. My will to fight may not be as good as yours. My personal skills may not be as good as yours, but my supplies are much better than yours, I am well fed and clothed, my strength is no worse than yours, and I have more people than you, and I am still crowding in to fill the void left by my brothers who died in battle! So. Even if someone wanted to escape, they couldn't do it, so they could only be swept forward. Use the knives and guns in your hands to fight the Qing army!

The strength advantage of the Ming army was revealed, and Du Du's red flag began to retreat slowly and step by step under this huge pressure.

Du Du and Du Erhu father and son looked at the subordinates who were pressed down by the Ming army step by step, and almost couldn't believe that their troops had not been bombarded by the Ming army, and they were actually defeated by the Ming army so quickly by virtue of hard-fought hand-to-hand combat.

Du Erhu looked at his own warriors who were driven down by the Ming army step by step. Shouted loudly, "What's wrong? What's wrong? ”

But his voice was so pale in the shouts and groans of thousands of people, and the interweaving of countless swords and guns, although he and his guards Baya Lama continued to launch small-scale counterattacks, but they still could not reverse this decline, and the entire formation of the Qing army was still crowded and kept slowly retreating backwards.

But. The gilded armor on Du Erhu's body, and the more than 20 Baya soldiers around him who constantly launched small-scale counterattacks, were as dazzling as a lighthouse in the darkness in the eyes of the Ming army officers, although He Anguo didn't know who the guy who fought bravely on the other side was, but from his armor, the loyalty of the house slave guards around him, and the excellent Nanban armor on the house slave, he could judge at a glance that this was a big leader among the slaves! Although there are no things such as flags and dragons to judge in the chaotic battlefield, the Nanban armor guarded by the house slaves around him is enough to show that this person's identity is extraordinary!

He Anguo pulled the grenadier leader beside him, "Did you see the leader of the slaves?!" ”

"See!"

"Can your people throw it?"

"Back to my lord, there is always a seventy or eighty percent certainty!"

"Good! Greet your guys, throw bombs at that guy for Lao Tzu! Throw a few more! I'm going to reward you when I go back! Thirty dollars per person! ”

The grenadier leader gathered more than 30 of his grenadiers and measured the distance with his eyes to Duerhu, who was fighting back and forth in the dense warband. "Less than sixty steps, chief!"

"Brothers, good wine and good meat in the evening, back to Ningyuan's girls, I please! Bomb Lao Tzu! ”

The first round of ponytail grenades was picked up by the bombardiers and swept over the crowd and headed straight for Durhu!

Seven or eight horsetail grenades exploded at a distance of about seven or eight meters around Duerhu, and shrapnel flew in all directions, causing the people around him to cry and howl, but they did not hurt the target Duerhu at all, and only injured three or five of his guards.

"! Good luck dog thief! Vote again! ”

"Master, let's go!"

The grenadier leader and the leader of the Bayala soldiers shouted almost at the same time.

More horsetail grenades were lit by the grenadiers, picked up, and hurled towards the dense area of the Bayala soldiers in the distance!

Like dozens of crows, the horsetail grenade landed around Durhu and exploded.

The shrapnel formed after the explosion flew like rain in all directions, and the screams around him continued, and the Qing army within a radius of a few steps centered on Du Erhu was in disarray, completely turning into a pool of blood, and countless people fell to the ground, all of them were miserable, struggling and screaming on the position.

Seeing that the effect of this round of strikes was so huge, he couldn't help but make He Anguo and the main general of this round of attacks, Li Yukuan, the general of the Shanhai Town Guerrilla Battalion, their eyes completely lit up, and the two couldn't help shouting in unison: "Grenadier, one more shot!" ”

Unlike the swarming of the Ming army, the morale of the Qing army suffered a great defeat. The soldiers were like deflated balls, scurrying around, crying and shouting, and the formation began to appear scattered.

The red-flag-studded team began to show a frustrating momentum of losing command and losing confidence! As the third round of horsetail grenades swept overhead, the people's morale was even more low, and the blood and energy that fought for their lives with the Ming army were lost!

"Lao He! What are the thieves shouting?! ”

Li Yukuan grabbed He Anguo, and the two of them didn't care about the chaos around them, and listened carefully to the bursts of sorrow and wails coming from the ranks of the Qing army.

The battlefield was chaotic and abnormal, the soldiers of the Ming and Qing armies were intertwined in a melee, crowded and bustling, Rao is two carefully identified, and they could only barely hear the Qing army shouting a name.

"Durhu! Master Durhu died in battle! (To be continued......)
