Chapter 177: Dispatch of Troops A Fatal Blow

These Manchurian and Mongolian soldiers who were surrounded did not have time to change their roles so quickly, they were still pursuers, and they couldn't wait to catch up with their opponents immediately and kill them. But so quickly, they became the prey in the hands of others, and they couldn't adapt to it. However, they couldn't get used to it, and they saw that the Han cavalry and the soldiers in the Han defense circle had left their original positions and slowly surrounded them, and they knew that the last time had come.

At this time, this solid mountain shouted: "Brothers! We also die like a man today. Everyone follow me to fight their way out and rush out. After saying that, this solid mountain really took the lead to the north like a man, that was the direction they came from, and rushed over. At the same time as they started, Liu Yun and their mortars opened fire again. This time the artillery no longer needed to aim carefully, and each gun quickly fired three shells. The shells fell on the cavalry team that had just been launched and was preparing to break through, and the explosion of "boom" immediately disrupted the cavalry that had just wanted to start. The undead cavalry squeezed me and stomped on each other. Only a few dozen war horses kept up with this Gushan who led the charge. At this time, a heavy machine gun from the north opened fire, and these dozens of war horses were all hit before they could rush to the front of the heavy machine gun.

At this time, Liu Yun commanded everyone to start compressing the encirclement. In the encirclement, only a few hundred war horses remained. Some of them were unwilling to accept the cavalry, shouting and launching a suicidal attack on the cavalry that surrounded them. The cavalry who surrounded them unceremoniously shot them off their horses. In the end, more than 300 cavalrymen saw that there was no point in resisting, and dismounted and surrendered.

While ordering the battlefield to be cleaned up, Liu Yun sent a telegram to report the situation to the headquarters.

After receiving Liu Yun's telegram, Ouyang He said: "It seems that we should work harder to drive this Azig away." ”

Chen Yufeng sighed with emotion, "I didn't expect these guys to be so unbeaten." We killed more than 20,000 people here in naturalization, more than 30,000 people in Baotou, 5,000 in Dongshengzhou, and more than 11,000 people in the two grain trucks that pursued Liu Yun. That's nearly 70,000 people combined. Azig came with a total of more than 100,000 people, and he didn't have much money left. ”

"You haven't counted the people from the artillery and grain transport teams killed by Li Jing and them, as well as the people we annihilated in Guihua, Baotou, and Dongshengzhou." Ouyang He said.

"Haha! I think that as long as we run them away, no one will dare to interfere with our cultivation in a short time! Chen Yufeng is very happy.

"So be it! We asked Liu Yun and them to let go of a few Mongolian soldiers tonight. Let them send a message to Azig and Ezhe, and don't let them know how many people have died. Then let Liu Yun and them stand by when they return to Dongshengzhou tomorrow. It's time for us to take the initiative. Ouyang He said.

Chen Yufeng nodded and said, "Send a telegram to Li Kui and them as well, and let them also be on standby." I want their 20,000 migrant workers to be ready as well. Let them come and carry all the loot. The Azig and the others ran away, but they had to keep everything they had brought. What kind of carriage and horse tents are all used in our next step of land reclamation. ”

"Haha! I see that Mr. Chen is becoming more and more like Mr. Zhang, and he has begun to calculate these pots and pots. Ouyang He said.

Liu Yun received the telegram from the headquarters and immediately understood what it meant to let a few Mongolian soldiers go. called Li Jing and said, "Li Jing has given you a task, tonight, let go of a few Mongolian soldiers and ask them to go back to deliver a message to Azig." ”

Li Jing was puzzled, "Why do you let them go back to deliver the letter?" ”

"I think Uncle Shi and Mr. Ouyang want to end the battle quickly. Let Azig lose the confidence to fight, I think he is about to start a counterattack. Liu Yun said.

"Ou! That's right. Li Jing said: "You can rest assured, leave this matter to me." ”

In the evening, Li Jing asked someone to bring three Mongolian soldiers and let them help feed the horses. When they were done, tell them not to run around and sleep in the stables at night. Then he threw them some horse meat to eat, and no one cared about them. They didn't understand what the Han people were saying, they just knew to nod anyway. But they lay down in the stable, and in the middle of the night, a Mongol soldier looked up and saw that there was no one. He sat up quietly to see that there was still no one in sight, and then he became bolder. Quietly stood up and looked around, but still didn't see anyone, he went over and called out to the other two Mongol soldiers, muttered for a while, and they all stood up. When they came to the tethered horses, each of them untied two horses, and led them to the edge of the camp. There was no fence for the time being, but a symbolic stop with a rope. At this time, the sentry spotted them and shouted "Who?" ”

The three Mongol soldiers did not answer, but immediately turned on their horses and ran into the distance. The sentry fired a few shots.

At this time, Li Jing brought someone over and said, "Stop chasing, let them run!" ”

A captain who followed Li Jing said, "I didn't expect these three guys to run away with two horses each, if you know, you will put a few fewer horses here." ”

"Come on! They each pulled three horses and had to let them go. Li Jing said.

The three Mongol soldiers who ran out were all raised on horseback, and they fled from Liu Yun's camp to discern the direction, and then changed horses and galloped in the direction of naturalization. At dawn, they arrived at the camp where they were naturalized. They were immediately taken to the Great Tent of Azig by their Mongol households.

Azig listened to them tell them about the annihilation of more than 10,000 people, but did not speak, waved his hand and let the three people retreat. Last night, he already knew the news that the 30,000 people in Baotou had been wiped out by the defenders of Baotou. Today, after learning in detail about the process of the annihilation of more than 10,000 people, Azig knew very well in his heart that this battle could not be fought at all. But now he does not dare to withdraw his troops, his withdrawal means that the Qing Dynasty will give up its suzerainty over the Mongolian steppe, and his return means that the strategy formulated by Huang Taiji to threaten the Ming Dynasty from the northwest has failed. But if he fights, there is no chance of winning at all, and the so-called tiger and wolf division he brought is like a lamb to be slaughtered in front of the Yaogang Han people. But why didn't those Han people attack themselves, they couldn't fight with the Yaogang Han people even if they fought all the horses. Thinking of this, Azig was shocked, there must be some conspiracy among the Han people in Yaogang.

In fact, the problem he was thinking about was also a common problem for many kiln officers and soldiers, in fact, the reason was very simple, Chen Yufeng and Ouyang He didn't want to die too many people. Now, although the Yaogang people have annihilated more than 70,000 Manchu and Mongolian coalition troops, the Yaogang people have almost no major casualties, which is the purpose of Chen Yufeng and Ouyang He. This is also Zhang Zhimu's idea. The kiln people have a firepower and tactical advantage that their opponents can't match, so why bother fighting with them. Even now, Chen Yufeng and Ouyang He's idea was not to annihilate Azig, they just wanted to defeat them, so that they would not dare to come again. Now is not the time to address them once and for all.

After Liu Yun and Li Jing returned to Dongshengzhou with the grain convoy, they counted the grain transported by the entire convoy of more than 20,000 stones.

Ouyang He knew that there were more than 20,000 stones of grain, and said to Chen Yufeng: "With such food, I think it is enough for the time being." Let's wait for Liu Yun and them to take a day off and start acting. My heart is full of things about Shaanxi. ”

"Okay!" Chen Yufeng came to the map and said, "Mr. Ouyang, you see, our situation has improved a lot. Attacking Shanxi, we can have multiple ways. It is more convenient from this place in Dongkatsu. ”

"Now we are not afraid of fighting anyone, as Mr. Zhang said, we need the ability to govern these places." Ouyang He now admires Zhang Zhimu's political foresight very much.

Ignoring the fact that the Manchu and Mongolian troops were digging tunnels, Ouyang He had already begun to dispatch troops and arrange for the final attack on them.

When Prince Tori heard that Liu Yun and they had robbed the grain trucks of the Manchurian and Mongolian armies and killed more than 10,000 of their cavalry, he was a little breathless. He came to the headquarters and said to Chen Yufeng: "Now that half of Azig's troops have been killed by us, should we attack them and beat them away?" ”

Chen Yufeng understood that Prince Tory was really anxious, and said, "Your Royal Highness, please be patient, we have already started to make arrangements." We also want the war to end as soon as possible, and we want to build a house in the wasteland before winter. Just wait for our good news! ”

Chen Yufeng and Ouyang He would not tell him about their next move. Because Ouyang He had already ordered the 20,000 immigrants in Baotou to drive the cart to naturalization, they were here to transport the spoils of war.

Azig's main camp was outside the east gate of Naturalization, and this time Liu Yun and Li Jing received an order to leave an infantry regiment to stay in Dongshengzhou, and come to Naturalization with four cavalry regiments and an infantry regiment, and stand by behind the Azig battalion. Li Kui took two cavalry regiments to cover 20,000 migrant workers and moved closer to naturalization.

According to the agreement, before midnight, the long-closed East Gate of Naturalization was opened. Liu Chenghuang quietly went out of the city with his team, they went out with heavy machine guns and mortars, all the horses were carrying chews, and the hooves of the horses were wrapped in sheepskins, so as not to make a sound. After leaving the city, they advanced eastward and began to line up in front of Azig's battalion, with mortars and heavy machine guns aimed at Azig's camp. At the same time, Liu Yun and Li Jing also led their troops to set up positions on the east side of the Azig camp, and they also prepared mortars and heavy machine guns.

As soon as the time came, the mortars on both sides of Liu Chenghuang and Liu Yun opened fire at the same time, and the dense artillery fire immediately exploded in Azig's camp, which was suddenly bombarded by artillery fire, and soon became a pot of porridge.

With intensive mortar shelling, 120 heavy mortars joined the bombardment. Each shell from a 120-heavy mortar topples a tent in the camp and ignites a fire.

Azig was awakened by the sound of a cannonball, and ran out of the tent without even putting on his clothes to see what was going on, but as soon as he came out, he was knocked down by his own soldiers. A **** exploded nearby. Seeing the continuous explosion of dense shells in the camp, Azig knew that it was not advisable to stay here, so he fled north under the escort of a group of personal soldiers. Because they found that the direction of the attack was east and west.

Azig crawled out of his camp and fled to the Mongol camp that surrounded the northern gate. At this time, on the east and west sides of the Azig camp, the cavalry marched in formation towards their camp. Apparently there was no one in the camp to resist except for the scattered deserting soldiers.

After Liu Yun and Liu Chenghuang met in the camp, according to the plan, they handed over the task of cleaning the battlefield to Li Kui and them, and Liu Chenghuang led the team to advance to the south gate of naturalization and attack the camp outside the south gate. Liu Yun led his men to the north and led his troops to attack the camp outside the north gate. Li Jing took a regiment of cavalry and ran away from afar.

Liu Yun and Liu Chenghuang attacked the same number of routes, they attacked west at the same time in the north and south of Guihua, and both attacked the east side of the north and south camps. After bombarding the fence of the camp, the artillery fire extended into the camp, and the follow-up troops used heavy machine guns to open the way, advancing slowly and steadily. The goal was the same, to get them out of the camp. None of the officers and soldiers in the two camps had ever been covered in artillery fire, and for them, the feeling of shells flying and exploding made them feel like they were in hell. As a result, they all fled through the West Camp Gate. Ran to the camp in front of the West Gate.

By this time, it was already dawn. Li Kui who followed up and took the migrant workers to clean up the battlefield, the leaders of these migrant workers were all former veterans, the migrant workers all carried blades, and those disobedient Manchu soldiers were also killed by them, especially those veterans, they were bullied by the Manchu people in their memories too much, now they all have muskets in their hands, and when they encounter disobedient Manchu soldiers, the migrant workers have difficulties in dealing with them, he will not hesitate to go up and give them a musket. This also boosted the morale of migrant workers.

Liu Yun and Liu Chenghuang surrounded the camp in front of the West Gate from both north and south. The 120 heavy mortars on the naturalized city wall have been transported to the western city wall.

At this time, the camp outside the west gate was overcrowded, and the soldiers who fled from all over the world were concentrated in this camp.

Azig and the Mongols knew that this was more dangerous, because the Han Chinese shells were simply too powerful, and such a dense crowd of people was huddled together. A single shell kills a lot of people. As soon as they discussed, they hurriedly broke through immediately while they didn't open fire, and they couldn't wait for death. Fortunately, the Han people outside seemed to deliberately open the net, and the west was not encircled, no matter whether there were any traps or not, they immediately led the team to break through to the west. At this time, the kiln men outside the camp saw them move, and they all opened fire on them at the same time. At this time, 120****, each shot exploded a blood mist. Coupled with the dense 60 shells, the Manchurian and Mongolian soldiers who were crowded together were killed and wounded countless times. But the Yaogang people did not intercept them and broke through to the west. As a result, less than 20,000 cavalry ran westward.

The fleeing cavalry ran a long way west, and they found that there were no pursuers. Azig consulted with the fleeing generals and decided to head north first and then east.

Naturalized in the city.

As soon as the battle began, Prince Tori came to the East City Gate, because Chen Yufeng and Ouyang He were both here to watch the battle.

Prince Tory asked, "Why didn't you tell me when you went to war, when my warriors were looking forward to the battle?" ”

Ouyang He had already figured out how to deal with him, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, today's battle happened suddenly, and the team we transferred from Baotou and Dongshengzhou suddenly fought with them, and we also went out of the city in a hurry to help in the battle. Your soldiers must not move, they must hold on to naturalization. ”

Prince Tori had no choice but to run back to arrange the defense of the city.

When it was dawn, Prince Tori saw that the Mongol army in the surrounding camp had been driven away, and he knew in his heart that this time he had really won. However, he wondered how the kiln people could clean up the battlefield so quickly. Everything that could be used was loaded onto a wagon and carried away. Needless to say, the war horses and even the wooden wheeled carts of the Manchurian and Mongolian armies were driven away by the kiln gangsters. Prince Tori understood that the kiln man was not fighting a sudden battle, but a battle that was well prepared and accurately arranged, and even such things as cleaning the battlefield were arranged very carefully. Prince Tori was a little unhappy in his heart, but when he thought that the war was fought by others, it was right for the loot to be transported away, especially since they had a large number of reclamation teams and needed a lot of things, which was understandable.

Thinking of the reclamation team in Yaogang, Prince Tori thought about what happened after the war. The people of Yaogang have not allowed their people to go to Baotou, it seems that they have a plan for a long time, and they want to occupy Baotou. Prince Tory was a little unwilling about this matter, and he wanted to try to get Baotou back.

Thinking of this, Prince Tori came to the headquarters and saw that Chen Yufeng and Ouyang He were there, and the straight Prince Tori said straight to the point: "Mr. Chen, Mr. Ouyang He, now the Manchurian and Mongolian army has run away. There are a lot of people in my clan, they used to live in Baotou, they can go back to Baotou, right? ”

Chen Yufeng said: "Of course, but they must obey our management and enforce our laws. ”

"Baotou is our Tumut people, why do we enforce your laws?" Prince Tori was a little excited.

"Baotou is from your Tumuts, when are you talking about? In the Tang Dynasty, it was the Han people here. Chen Yufeng was not polite.

"That was the Tang Dynasty, and now it's our Tumuts." Prince Tori also drilled the horns.

"No, now Baotou is from our kiln." Chen Yufeng was also a little displeased.

Prince Tori wasn't a barbarian, and he knew he was being rude to what he said. was choked by Chen Yufeng's words all of a sudden.

Ouyang He came over to the round and said, "Your Royal Highness, do you have something to say!" We want to have a reclamation site in the Hetao area, which is what we said in Yaogang, isn't it? ”

"Yes, but—" said Prince Tori.

Ouyang He waved his hand to stop him and said, "That's the case, we went out of the customs this time to help you beat Ezhe and the Qing army away, but we don't have the strength to destroy them all." We have a limited number of people, and if we go to the savannah to pursue them, we will be dragged to death by them. So until they are completely dealt with, they will come back at any time to take revenge. A large number of our men and horses have no support point in the Hetao area, and they will face their threat at any time. We have two choices, one is to occupy the two support points of Baotou and Dongshengzhou on the edge of the Yellow River, and open up wasteland along the Yellow River. Another option is to stay farther away, avoid their threat, and set up the reclamation site on the west side of the Yellow River. But then we will be safe, and if they come back, you will not be safe. Therefore, our first choice is correct, a company like our kiln gang, to make a decision, is made after careful comparison of the pros and cons to make a decision. My words, His Royal Highness the Prince is thinking about it. If you have to Baotou, we can also give you Baotou for the sake of old friends. ”

Ouyang He's words made Prince Tori have nothing to say, and after thinking about it for a while, Prince Tori said: "It's not that I have to Baotou, I have the final say in my tribe, and I don't care." But soon many tribes will come back from Daqingshan, and they will not give up Baotou. ”

Chen Yufeng became even more angry when he heard this, "Those tribes who came back from Daqingshan are not your friends, when we were here to help you fight with blood and sweat, they hid, and now that the battle has been won, they are back." What qualifications do they have to return to this land? Your Royal Highness the Prince doesn't care about this matter, such people are not as good as pigs and dogs, and if you provoke us, we will destroy them. ”

Prince Tori didn't want the Kiln Gang to destroy his people. Although Prince Tori is also angry with those people who are hiding, they are of the same clan after all.

At this time, the staff officer sent a telegram saying: "General Li Jing's telegram! ”

Ouyang He took the telegram and said to Prince Tori: "My words, His Royal Highness the Prince should think about it!" Apparently meant to send off the guest, Prince Tori got up and said, "Okay, I'll think about it seriously." ”

Ouyang He finished reading the telegram and handed it to Chen Yufeng.

After reading the telegram, Chen Yufeng said with a smile: "This little rabbit cub, he can fight such a battle." ”

After Li Jing had finished clearing Azig's camp in Liu Yun, he ran east with a cavalry regiment. After running for a while, I ran north again. Naturalizing the surrounding terrain, Li Jing has long remembered it in his mind. After walking some distance north, they came to a hill. He arranged all the cavalry on the southern slope of the mountain bag, took a part of the people to both sides of the small valley north of the mountain bag, and began to bury **, there were directional **, as well as anti-infantry**, and a large number of chain mines.

One of Li Jing's brothers asked, "Head, how do you calculate that Azig will go from here?" ”

"According to our attack plan, Li Yunhe and Liu Chenghuang will surround the north and south sides of Azig's western camp, and Azig will definitely flee to the west, and then to the north and then to the east. When they go east, they don't take this road, they will detour north for a few more days. They fled in a hurry without food or drink, and they didn't starve to death a few days before leaving? So they are bound to go down this path. ”

"High! It's still a good head. ”

"Don't be poor, work hard!" Li Jing is actually willing to listen to others praise herself, but she can't say it.

Li Jing buried the **, after doing a good job of camouflage, arranged the sentries, and took the people who planted the mines to the south of the mountain bag to rest.

Waiting until after noon, the sentry came running over with joy and reported, "Head! It's coming, it's coming! ”
