"Sir. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info" Zilharang looked at Tao Min, who came back from the negotiation, and asked with some anxiety, "I don't know what Mr. talked about with the enemy?" ”

"It's nothing, they want to make peace with us." Tao Min did not hide Jiang Beiming's purpose in making peace.

"They don't have anything to lose, so why make peace?" Zilharang was a little incredulous.

"Lord Belle." Tao Min said his thoughts on the way back, "Although their losses are not large, after all, they only have five or six thousand people, and the reinforcements of the Ming Dynasty have not arrived." If it goes on like this, they can't afford it. ”

"Did the gentleman agree to make peace?"

"Haha, Lord Belle laughed." Tao Min smiled, "How can I make peace with the Ming army." ”

"What are the plans of the gentleman?"

"Lord Belle." Tao Min replied, "The Yulin army can't hold it now, but their combat power is still very strong, and we must deal them a heavy blow before the Ming reinforcements arrive." I have long told the Great Khan that the Ming Dynasty is not a problem, and the Yulin Army is our mortal enemy. ”

"Has the gentleman come up with a way to crack it?" Zilharang asked.

"Those rejections are not a problem." Tao Min replied, "Let's rest for a few days, I'll prepare something, and let's defeat them at once." Don't forget, Lord Belle, it's useless for us to have a fast gun team. ”

In the next few days, neither side sent any more troops, and Tao Min scattered the scouts 150 miles in the direction of Beijing.

"Enlighten the master." One of Bao Yi quickly ran to Tao Min's camp tent, "Our scouts have found reinforcements from the Ming army. ”

"How many reinforcements, and how far?"

"Back to the master, the Ming army is nearly 40,000, and there is also the Shenji Battalion in it, which is more than 100 miles away from us, a three-day journey."

"Got it, let's find out." Tao Min waved his hand and said secretly in his heart, "Lu Xiangsheng is here." ”

"Someone." Tao Min shouted, "All teams are ready to take Yulin Fort tomorrow with one blow." ”

The next day, it was overcast.

Tao Min rode back and forth among the Eight Banners: "Warriors of the Great Khan, the enemy is in front. They have guns and artillery, but we have the same guns, and we have the determination to win. For the sake of the Great Khan, for the sake of the Great Gold, attack! ”

More than 100 heavy shield carts were densely packed on the battlefield, and the Eight Banners infantry behind the shield carts were obviously much less, and then nearly 2,000 cavalry were ready to go.

"Order, the cavalry kept a distance from the shield chariot and advanced slowly."

Jiang Beiming, Han Wantao, Xu Lang and others stood together on the head of Yulin Fort, holding binoculars at the same time.

"What do you want to do?" Xu Lang asked, "Did he regret it?" Don't want a truce with us? ”

"Maybe." Jiang Beiming continued to look at the battlefield, "After all, Tao Min didn't promise us in the end, we must not evacuate until we see his fast gun team." ”

"But our artillery has been withdrawn." Han Wantao also knew the result of the negotiations, "There are only 10 artillery pieces left in front. ”

"Look again, maybe Tao Min just wants to do enough tricks." Jiang Beiming put down the binoculars and said calmly.

"Where are Lu Xiangsheng and Wu Sangui now?" Han Wantao asked.

"According to yesterday's scout report, Lu Xiangsheng still has three days to go." Xu Lang replied, "But there is no news from Wu Sangui yet." ”

"Then Tao Min chose to attack today, it should be that he agreed with our plan, right?" Han Wantao asked again, "Didn't we tell him that we were going to do it a day or two before Lu Xiangsheng arrived?" ”

"Don't care if Tao Min really promised us, let's fight today's battle first." Jiang Beiming replied, "Let's wait and see what happens." ”

"Heralds, artillery and stone thrower fire." Zhao Qi withdrew to the city, and the 10 artillery pieces at the front were now under the command of Zhou Lei.

10 6-pounder guns and 11 stone throwers were busy again, but there were too many shield carts in the Eight Banners, and the distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer.

"Yang Tao, ignition." Zhou Lei shouted.

The wall of fire rose from the flat ground again, and a group of Eight Banners soldiers suddenly poured out from behind the shield cart, scattering a bag of dirt they were carrying into the shallow ditch.

"." Zhou Lei scolded in his heart, "Fire!" ”

The two rounds of salvo knocked down a group of Eight Bannermen, but the remaining Eight Banners still followed behind the shield cart and slowly advanced.

"Order, everyone retreats to the second line of defense." Zhou Lei had no choice but to give the order to retreat.

"Order, the cavalry follows, and the fast spear team attacks." Tao Min knew it was time to use the QuickGun Team.

The people at the head of the city were finally relieved, and Tao Min agreed to a truce.

"All of them, loaded and ready to shoot." Although Zhou Lei saw the fast gun team, according to the plan, he still had to make a certain resistance.

The shield car of the Eight Banners was still advancing unhurriedly, and the Eight Banners cavalry behind did not charge, but kept a distance of more than 100 meters from the shield car.

The shield cart of the Eight Banners came to the front of the first trench, and the soldiers of the Eight Banners took the planks from the shield cart and set up a passage.

"What the hell is Tao Min going to do?" All the traversers of the independent brigade are confused, according to what was said, your cavalry will charge with one charge, and the Yulin army will retreat directly, won't it be over?

"Beiming." Xu Lang suddenly realized that something seemed to be wrong, "Could Tao Min be planning to do it, they are advancing so slowly, maybe they want to catch us off guard." ”

"I don't think it's likely." Han Wantao said, "Even if Tao Min really doesn't mean to cease fighting, how can his cavalry cross the barbed wire?" ”

"Don't make any noise yet, I can't figure it out right now." Jiang Beiming shouted, "Order the second and third regiments to prepare to meet the enemy." ”

Zhou Lei and Wang Qianxiang put the shield car of Eight Banners in front of the barbed wire, which was also helpless, and the flintlock pistol could not hit the shield car.

Behind the shield cart, a group of Eight Banners soldiers poured out, the difference was that they did not have any weapons in their hands, but each held a large iron tongs.

"Go to TM, Tao Min has this." Zhou Lei and Wang Qianxiang scolded almost at the same time.

"Fire!"

More than 1,000 flintlock muskets were fired, and the Eight Banners began to destroy the barbed wire fence under the cover of shield wagons.

The bullets flew sideways, and the ping-pong hit the top of the shield cart, and the infantry of the Eight Banners didn't care about anything, lying on the ground and kept cutting the barbed wire with the big iron tongs in their hands.

The barbed wire was finally cut a few times, and the Eight Banners infantry did not charge after cutting the barbed wire, but retreated to both sides of the battlefield under the cover of shield vehicles.

"Command, cavalry charge, fast gun team to follow."

2000 cavalry began to slowly accelerate.

"Order, the second regiment and the third regiment withdraw to Yulinbao." Jiang Beiming understood that no matter whether Tao Min was really attacking or playing, the barbed wire had been destroyed, and Zhou Lei and Wang Qianxiang's infantry could not stop the 2,000 cavalry.

All the Yulin troops were withdrawn to Yulin Fort, and 2,000 Eight Banner cavalry shuttled back and forth under the city.

"Sir, good scheming." Zilharan exclaimed, "The enemy's rejection is nothing more than that. ”

"Lord Belle has won the prize." Tao Min said with a smile, "Please watch the enemy formation for the minions, and the minions will go to attack the city in person." ”

"Sir, never." "Sir, don't put yourself in danger. ”

"It's okay, the slave will fight to the death with the Yulin army today." Tao Min was full of spirits, and said secretly in his heart, "If I don't go, Jiang Beiming and they really won't leave, this scene is a bit too much." ”

"Herald." Tao Min ignored Zilharang, "The cavalry stopped attacking, held down the position, and the quick-gun team was ready." ”

Tao Min led his men and horses to the city of Yulinbao, and behind him were the 3,000 fast rifle team and 2,000 cavalry.

"People in the city, I am Dajin Zhenguo Gong Ai Xinjue Luo Taomin." Tao Min raised his head and shouted, "Let your Jiang Beiming answer." ”

"Tao Min, what do you want?" Jiang Beiming leaned out on the city wall.

"Jiang Beiming, now that you have been surrounded by my Dajin warriors, hurry up and surrender the city, the Great Khan will not die."

"Jokes." Jiang Beiming shouted angrily, "If you want to fight, you will fight, don't say more." ”

"Jiang Beiming, you listen to me." Tao Min changed his Mandarin, "Give you half an hour, and after half an hour, I will bombard Yulin Fort, my fast gun team will enter the city, followed by cavalry, you know what to do." ”

After Tao Min finished speaking, he returned to his camp: "Order, push the artillery over, bombard his city gate, and the fast gun team is ready to attack the city." ”

"Brigadier Jiang, what now?" The traversers around Jiang Beiming asked, "Should we trust Tao Min or not?" ”

"I command." Jiang Beiming did not answer this question, "Wang Qianxiang, lead people to block the city gate with boulders and delay time; Lin Zhaolong, according to the original plan, led a regiment, an artillery regiment and 2 cavalry battalions to retreat in the direction of Xuanfu Town. Note that we can't tell Tao Min's true intentions yet, so don't retreat too far and wait for orders at any time. Han Wantao, led the second regiment, the third regiment and a cavalry battalion to retreat in the direction of Beijing with everyone in the city and the heads of the Eight Banners, let's go find Lu Xiangsheng. ”

"What if we meet Lu Xiangsheng?" Xu Lang asked.

"Everybody remembers." Jiang Beiming ordered, "Because we don't know what will happen to Tao Min after he occupies Yulin Fort, so don't tell Lu Xiangsheng that we lost 3,000 people, and just say that our team was scattered." If Tao Min cooperates with us to withdraw the army, then say this to Lu Xiangsheng again; If Tao Min doesn't cooperate with us and occupies Yulin Fort, let's join forces again and fight back. Do you all understand? ”

"Understood." Everyone shouted in unison.

"Action."

Half an hour later, 32 6-pounder guns were pulled in front of the gates of Yulinburg.

"Target the city gate, three rounds of shooting."

After three rounds of shelling, the gates of Yulinbao were bombarded, and several artillery pieces on the city began to return fire sporadically.

"Master, the city gate is blocked." An Eight Banner soldier shouted at Tao Min.

"Jiang Beiming, what do you mean by this?" Tao Min's heart also began to doubt, "Do they still want to play me?" ”

Tao Min raised his binoculars and looked at the city, where flags were waving but there seemed to be no figure in sight.

"Could it be that Jiang Beiming really withdrew?" Tao Min's heart was uncertain.

A cavalryman of the fast spear team ran over from a distance and whispered in Tao Min's ear: "Master, the minions have discovered that the enemy has withdrawn from the other gate. ”

"They ran away?" Tao Min said with a smile, "Order, the fast gun team will attack the city and take Yulin Fort in one go." ”

More than 1,000 quick-pistmen climbed up to the top of the city with flintlock muskets, and the sound of firecrackers came and went, but the city was already empty.

Jiang Beiming and Xu Lang reined in their horses and looked back at the burning Yulin Fort.

"What the hell is Tao Min burning?" Xu Lang scolded, "This guy won't really burn Yulin Castle, right?" ”

"I can't care so much now, let's meet Lu Xiangsheng first." Jiang Beiming turned his head and shouted, "Pass the order, make your clothes dirty, torn, and smear some dust on your face, don't make it look like you've won a battle, we are a defeated army." ”

"Hahahaha." Xu Lang smiled and bent down to wipe a handful of mud from the stirrups, "Come, I'll put on makeup first." ”

The fire in Yulin Fort was gradually extinguished, and Zilharang also led people to the fort.

"Ben Baylor congratulates Mr. first." Zilharang laughed, "Sir's quick-gun team is really brave, and it gives the enemy a head-on blow. ”

"Lord Belle, we're getting ready to retreat."

"We have won a great victory, why is Sir retreating at this time?" Zilharang was confused by Tao Min's words.

"Lord Belle, according to the news of our scouts, the 40,000 reinforcements of the Ming army are led by Lu Xiangsheng, and they are still 2 days away from us. There is also a Shenji Battalion here, and the Guanning Iron Cavalry led by Wu Xiang and his son is also about to arrive. ”
