Chapter 124: The Outpost Battle of Fengji Fort 14

When Chen Hu's cavalry entered the Sakhalian camp, Bai Zaixiang excitedly patted the railing, at this time the sky was already bright, in the telescope, and the Eight Banners camp on the opposite side was clearly visible, watching the cavalry sentry tiger into the flock of sheep, fire prevention everywhere, throwing grenades, bombarding with handguns, many naked Eight Banners soldiers in the camp were scurrying around in the cold climate. I can't help but feel a burst of happiness in my heart.

"You deserve it, you also have today" Ran Tianyi also scolded in relief, seeing that the cavalry sentry killed the last cavalry of Jiannu in one go, Wang Gui also roared excitedly, "Nanao Town is mighty"

After Jiannu abandoned the camp and fled, the cavalry post began to set fire to the grain, baggage and camp tents, and take away horses and livestock. Then he was about to leave far away, at this time Li Yu thought about it for a while, and ordered: "Send a signal to Chen Hu and Li Hui to let them cross the river and return to the camp."

Now that the battle in Hexi has reached the most critical time, it is still very important to have more than 100 musketeers, and it is no longer meaningful to continue to stay on the outer line after the baggage of the Jiannu camp has been burned. In addition, after a day and night, the river has been frozen again, and the horse can barely walk back.

The drawbridge was lowered on the bank of the river, and the cavalry sentinel drove the captured cattle, sheep and horses into the high ground, and the drawbridge was retracted.

Half an hour later, the 3,000 Liaodong Iron Cavalry of Fengji Fort arrived, looking at the blazing Sakhalian camp in a daze. Feeling that this world was unreal, the muscles on Li Bingcheng's face twitched for a while, and finally decided to go in and grab the credit, and he never hesitated when it was time to be cheeky. This time it's a rare feeling, and it's a little ugly.

After the 3,000 cavalry entered, they cut off the heads of the dead Jiannu, tied up the living wounded with ropes, and grabbed some supplies while the fire did not burn.

"This bastard general soldier, if you don't come to save us, what are you grinding over there," Ran Tianyi, who was observing with a telescope, scolded in an air.

Li Yu said: "Naturally, it's a credit grab, and when we have almost consumed Jiannu, the chief soldier will naturally get full credit with a thunderous blow."

"Yiyi, don't talk nonsense" Bai Zaixiang glared at Ran Tianyi.

"Our Mao soldiers are almost lost, and now there are two hundred and twenty-one people left, and if we don't come again, we will be fucking finished." Wang Gui is a rough person, and the atmosphere is scolded, regardless of whether he is a Shangguan or not.

"We must rely on ourselves, the marshal has long told us, don't trust the Liaodong people, the situation here is very complicated, these locals and Jiannu have more than 300 years of trade contacts, close relations, there are too many underground interests colluded, it is difficult for outsiders to understand their position. The Han Chinese should be cautious, not to mention the Jurchens, Mongols, and other chaotic peoples. Li Yu said.

At this time, the four heavy guns on the mountain kept bombarding the place where Jiannu gathered. Sakhalian had gone mad and drove the Eight Banners soldiers into Youyang's camp like a tidal wave. The battle has reached the final stage of life and death. There are not many gunpowder, grenades, and shot put shells left in Youyangfa, and some watchtowers have been occupied.

Li Yu ordered the auxiliaries to deliver grenades, gunpowder, and shells to the Youyang soldiers along the communication trenches. The Youyang soldiers were gradually compressed to the side close to the high ground. Li Yu's troops were limited and he was unable to support the Youyang soldiers, and several times he was in danger, but Ran Tianyi took his own battalion to fight back again and stabilized.

By three o'clock in the afternoon, Jiannu had almost exhausted his physical strength, he had not eaten or drunk since last night, and the physical strength consumed by the day and night of fighting was extremely great, Youyang and Mao Bing both got fried noodles from Li Yu, taking advantage of the gap in the battle, stuffing them into their mouths, and swallowing them with snow, which was considered to replenish their physical strength, but they did not eat hot water and hot food for a day and night. Although the physical strength is okay, it is almost unbearable.

Suddenly, there was a crisp sound from below, and the artillery sentry came in to report that the thirty-six-pounder gun had exploded, and due to the intensive use from yesterday to the present, there was still a crack despite the continuous rest and cooling in between. Li Yu pondered for a while, and estimated that he knew that after more than 500 shots, he should also reach his lifespan. Ordered to be filled with gunpowder and pushed down the mountain to the front line where the Youyang soldiers were fighting, dismantled the wheel frame, slid down the high ground from the ice and snow with a sled, placed it on the front line, and waited for the Jiannu army to kill it, then ignited it, and directly exploded into pieces.

Half an hour later, cracks appeared in the 24-pounder cannon and the 12-pounder cannon in succession. Discontinued. Li Yudu ordered to fill up gunpowder and place it on the Jiannu offensive route for later use.

Seeing that both sides were exhausted and the opportunity came, Li Bingcheng waved his hand, and three thousand iron horsemen crossed the frozen river and killed the back of the Eight Banners. The Eight Banners have exhausted their physical strength, they haven't eaten or slept for a day and a night, they are extremely tired, they saw victory in sight before, and they can still support it, but now they have three thousand iron horsemen from behind to kill, and at the same time, they also saw the flames of the camp across the river, and the baggage was all finished, and they collapsed in an instant.

When it comes, it is like a landslide and tsunami, and when it goes, it is as fast as the autumn wind sweeping away the leaves. Sakhalian could no longer control his troops. There were people fleeing everywhere, and even the white tooth soldiers took off their heavy triple armor as they ran, and some even threw away their weapons. Sakhalian glanced back painfully at the place where he had planted a big heel in his fledgling ---- the Tiger Skin Station. Under the escort of the personal guard cavalry, he rode his horse and galloped in the direction of Fushun.

Li Bingcheng picked the peaches of the three families who fought hard, and he didn't have time to pay attention to these people, so he was busy chasing and expanding the results. At the same time, deep down, I still feel that it is better not to meet them, so as not to look good on everyone's faces.

The Youyang soldiers walked out of the trenches and watchtowers, cut off the heads of the Jiannu killed inside and outside the camp, stripped off their armor, and collected weapons. Bai Zaixiang, Ran Tianyi, Bai Bangming and others were busy counting the remaining numbers of each battalion, the number of captures, and the number of heads captured. and the number of captives that could be sold to Li Yu.

Li Yu's last bomber was not used, and Jiannu was defeated. Then he ordered the gunpowder to be taken out, the cannon to be installed, and shipped back for study, which was the first artillery to be tested on the battlefield, and these guns were all pure casting, without forging heat treatment. Li Jing's most worried about the explosion did not happen, but it was quickly stopped using it when it burst out of the gap, and the valuable experience accumulated this time is very important for the subsequent improvement of the casting method.

The war here has ended, and the tactics and weapons that need to be tested have successfully completed the goal, Li Yu is ready to take advantage of the freezing of the river, and quickly retreat back to Yingkou from the ice, and wait for the river to open in half a month, it will be difficult to transport these three-ton to one-ton cannons.

Li Jing said to Bai Zaixiang and Wang Gui: "Bai Shuai, Lord Wang, the battle has been won, and your losses are not small, I don't know whether to say something or not." ”
