Chapter 103: Luojiazhai
This is the benefit of fame is reflected, the historical Liu Zhilun died in vain outside Zunhua City, becoming the laughing stock of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military.
The current Liu Zhilun is considered to be a resourceful general, a hero who pretends to be a pig and eats a tiger, and everyone is on guard against the Houjin generals.
The barbarians will laugh when they think about it, Liu Zhilun didn't plan to do anything, he didn't dare and didn't have the strength to attack the Jiancheng Santun camp garrisoned by two or three thousand Houjin army armored people.
The reason why the Zunhua defenders behaved so strongly was to improve the morale of the Ming army, so that the soldiers would no longer be afraid of the enemy like tigers.
Second, in order to strive for some slave leaders, strive to win again.
The third is, of course, to make the enemy's commanders suspicious and focus on whether there is a large-scale military operation in Zunhua.
Fourth, the cavalry of the Ming army stationed in Zunhua was deliberately sent to the outer zone of Zunhua, which was conducive to the next move.
Next, Huang Han will take the "Red Flag Army" to a small-scale cheap battle, which is better than nothing.
Last time, he went to the mountains to fight the transport team that sent materials and grain from Santun Yingcheng, and this time Huang Han chose to send looting materials to Santun Yingcheng.
In a surprise attack, the choice of battlefield is especially important, and the Lord General must do it himself.
Huang Han is not in the murderous Zunhua City these days, he led Song Pengfei, Wang Zhanpeng, Sang Yu, Wang Shoucheng and other thirty-six elite cavalry to do the scout business.
Thirty-seven heroes, seventy-four war horses, one of whom had almost no combat effectiveness, he was Liu Dashou, a medical soldier with the army, and seven soldiers were natives of their hometown in Qian'anbei.
In order to carefully report the military intelligence of the official road from Qian'an to Santun Yingcheng, Huang Han brought seven days of provisions, and prepared to sneak from Zunhua to Yongping Mansion City by himself and take thirty-six horsemen to eat and sleep in the dense forest in the ravine.
Originally, this reconnaissance was not going to bring Song Pengfei with him, so that he could concentrate on training a general flag bird player that had just been formed, but Hanzi, Zheng Xiaowen, Yang Danian and other officers all felt that they were more comfortable to let the clever Song Pengfei follow the head of the family.
Song Pengfei also likes to follow his master, and he said that he didn't need to worry about Zhao Kun and a few people who trained him carefully.
Because the bird bearers of a general flag are veterans of the Ming army for more than three years, everyone knows how to load and release, and they are also familiar with the firearms of the Ming army, and it is easy to train into an army again.
He believes that it is the first task to go with his master to investigate the "Red Flag Army" and formulate a plan of action.
Conducting reconnaissance does require Xiao Song's cleverness, and Huang Han is of course happy to take him. On the same day, the group sneaked more than 100 miles and came to the official road in Qian'an North to investigate.
The weather has gradually warmed, and although the snow and ice have not yet melted, it is clear that the spring breeze has lost the chill to the bone.
Later, the Jin army grabbed a lot of money, and had decided to go out of the customs and return to Liaodong, at this time they were sparing no effort to rush to transport materials and food, and from time to time there appeared on the official road to build slaves and Tartars to carry the Han people to hurriedly trek to the north.
Obviously, as long as the team is brought to this official road to lurk, it should not be a problem to fight a small-scale ambush battle and behead two or three hundred to get the capture worth tens of thousands of taels of silver.
The key is that you have to run after you succeed, and the location here is not very good, after all, it is between the two big cities garrisoned by the Houjin army.
Qian'an is nearly 150 miles away from the Santun camp city, and most of the road passes through the rolling mountains, and the distance from the temporary base of Zunhua is a little far, and it is easy to be entangled by the enemy's cavalry when running back.
The key problem is that he has too few people, and his strength is not enough to fight with the Jiannu armor soldiers who are more than one Niu Lu.
Even if the soldiers under his command thought that the "Red Banner Army" could win in an encounter with a high-class Jiannu Niu Lu, Huang Han could not fight like this at all.
The "Red Banner Army" shouldered the hope of the Han nation, and was broken in the growth stage, and the wheel of history was not still the same, and in the end, the Han nation still had a pig's tail on the back of their heads to be the slaves of the Tunguska savages?
In this battle, we still have to grasp the most important one, and we can only take advantage of it and resolutely refuse to suffer.
Huang Han sneaked with his subordinates, and along the way, he endured and did not start to deal with the Houjin army's sentry horses and transport teams, and on several occasions found that there was only one Tartar ten-man team to escort the supplies, and they all gave up the capture and capture at their fingertips.
It took more than 30 people five days to basically figure out the route from Qian'an City to Santun Yingcheng, and most of the 150 miles of official roads were difficult to travel.
The Later Jin Army's baggage transportation was not as good as the cavalry's galloping, and it was impossible to do it at all, and it was enough to use two days to get to the place.
Therefore, they operated two more material hoarding places between these two cities-Luojiazhai and Majiapo, both of which had at least one Jiannu Niulu plus a Tartar hundred-man garrison, as well as two or three hundred Qiding, Yuding, and Baoyi slaves.
The Houjin army of Luojiazhai and Majiapo continued to loot around, hoarding the looted materials in these two villages that were originally built by the Ming clan, and there were also other looted Niu Lu who stored the looting results and embarked on the journey of robbery again.
Luojiazhai is fifty or sixty miles away from Santun Camp City, and Majiapo is less than fifty miles away from Qian'an City. The two villages are only more than 40 miles apart, but this section of the road is high and densely forested, and it is the most difficult road between Qian'an and Santunying.
Huang Han sneaked up and used the cover of trees to personally observe both stockades for at least two hours.
He roughly had an idea in his heart, Luojiazhai is much easier to attack than a serious city of eight hundred, there are really a lot of treasures piled up in the village, and the young and middle-aged men and women of the Han people who are coerced and ready to be brought back to Liaodong as slaves will not be less than one or two thousand.
Huang Han was going back to Zunhua to fool Ma Shilong and Wu Zimian to see if they were brave enough to send all the cavalry to play a game of raiding Luojiazhai.
Huang Han was not worried that he would not be able to defeat Luojiazhai, because the "Red Banner Army" had already had several successful experiences in blowing up the city gate with gunpowder packs. And this method of breaking open the city gate with gunpowder was not widely used in this era, and it is currently a unique formula of the "Red Banner Army".
The explosive power of more than 200 catties of black powder is comparable to the power of a five- to eight-kilogram explosive bag during World War II.
Luojiazhai did not build an urn city at all, when the Ming cavalry raided, the garrison Houjin army could not have time to block the gate with stone sandbags, and it was estimated that the Ming army would be able to break into the door in a breath.
The problem is that Luojiazhai was originally garrisoned by hundreds of Houjin troops, and almost every day there were transport teams spending the night in the village, and the number of Houjin troops escorted was sometimes more and sometimes less.
