Emperor Ming Fengyunlu

Volume VI: The Battle of the Northern Frontier

The first chapter is rampant in Liaodong and the Tartars

The second section is full of red blood flags

The first year of the Apocalypse, March 20, Shanhaiguan.

After several days of emergency assembly, Lu Ying personally led more than 34,000 soldiers from the Feiyu Battalion, the Huben Battalion, and the Yingyang Battalion to the north of Shanhaiguan and Liaodong. Before leaving, Lu Ying handed over all the military affairs of Tongzhou Town and the remaining soldiers of the Hanwei Army to Yuan Mingxuan, and loaded all the grain, grass, weapons, and armor in the treasury of Tongzhou Town, and went north to Liaodong with the army.

Along the way, Zhao Kaishan and Gao Hongguang can be said to be extremely excited, when the two heard that they were going to lead the army to Liaodong, they all shouted excitedly, and for this reason, Lu Ying was fined half a year's military salary on the grounds of the noise of the military tent. However, to be able to go to Liaodong and fight a bloody war to build slaves, this punishment is nothing.

Seeing that more than 30,000 soldiers had all opened the Shanhai Pass, Lu Ying immediately ordered the army to speed up the march and advance at full speed in the direction of Anshan. At the same time, Lu Ying also sent a team that did not collect at night and informed Liu Yunwei of the support of the army.

It is said that when Lu Ying led the army out of the customs, Liu Yunwei had already led more than 30,000 soldiers to leave Anshan City, and the whole army went north to Qianshan, and relied on the mountain to set up a large camp on the northern slope of Qianshan, preparing to start a battle with tens of thousands of troops of Jiannu two red flags and two blue flags who were rushing in the Qianshan area.

Liu Yunwei looked at the rolling mountains, and secretly said in his heart: "These thousand mountains are surrounded by a flat river, and if you occupy a thousand mountains, you will occupy a favorable location, and you can curb the southward road of the Jiannu army. ”

Liu Yunwei looked around again, and saw that the soldiers of the Hanwei army had already set up a large camp, and the whole army was divided into three large camps: the trap camp led by Wu Xing camped at the foot of the mountain north of Qianshan, which was the first line of defense against the Jiannu army; The Changshui battalion led by Wen Poyu were all iron cavalry, so they set up a large camp on a gentle slope on the northern slope of Qianshan, from where the soldiers of the whole battalion could ride their horses down the mountain and rush straight to the Jiannu array; The Chinese army pacesetter battalion led by Liu Yunwei is camped on the mountain, ready to support the trapped soldiers at the bottom of the mountain at any time. At the same time, Liu Yunwei also concentrated the 20 Big Buddha Lang machine guns equipped with each artillery battalion, a total of 60 Big Buddha Lang machine guns, to the Chinese army pacesetter barracks, and set up an artillery camp position on the mountain, commanded by Edward and his men, ready to bombard the Jiannu Great Array from a high position; The 30 Tiger Zun cannons equipped with each artillery battalion, a total of 90 Tiger Zun cannons, were all concentrated in the camp camp at the foot of the mountain, so as to enhance the firepower of the trapped camp.

After a long time, seeing that all the battalions had been set up, Liu Yunwei said to Zhou Tianyi and Hu Kun, who were accompanying him: "Two, what preparations do you think our army still needs to make in this battle?" ”

Zhou Tianyi thought for a while, and took the lead in saying: "General Town, the subordinates saw that the soldiers of the trapped camp under the mountain only set up horses and antlers in front of the camp, to be honest, these things can't stop the Jiannu Iron Cavalry, and the subordinates think that it is better to dig a few more trenches." ”

Liu Yunwei shook his head when he heard this, and said, "There's no need for that!" The first thing our Hanwei army considered in the war was how to attack and how to destroy the enemy, rather than how to defend. If the soldiers of the trapped camp under the mountain dig a trench in front of the camp, although they can block the charge of the Jiannu Iron Cavalry, they also block the way for the soldiers to counterattack, which will bind the hands and feet of the soldiers. ”

"But the soldiers trapped in the camp are mainly infantry, how can they compete with the iron cavalry?"

Liu Yunwei looked at Zhou Tianyi and said with a smile: "I will definitely be able to do it if I fall into the camp, sir, just wait and see." ”

Then, Hu Kun said: "Commander, I have a suggestion, should the cavalry battalions in the trapped camp be concentrated in the Changshui camp? In this way, the iron cavalry can be used intensively, after all, the soldiers in the camp in this battle are mainly in the battle of formations. ”

Zhou Tianyi also said: "Zongzhen, Governor Hu is right. ”

Liu Yunwei thought about it for a moment and said: "No need, it is still necessary to keep some iron cavalry in the camp, and when the infantry is fighting hard, you can attack at the right time to reduce the pressure on the soldiers." ”

Hu Kun and Zhou Tianyi said when they heard this: "The general town is thoughtful, and I can't wait. ”

As soon as the words fell, Liu Yunwei, Hu Kun, and Zhou Tianyi saw a team in the north returning at night without collecting horses, and a bright red trumpet flag was held high and fluttering in the wind.

"The head town! Jiannu is here! Hu Kun and Zhou Tianyi exclaimed.

Liu Yunwei smiled slightly, and then shouted loudly: "Beat the drum!" Respond to the flag! ”

"Boom! Boom! Boom! ”

The roar of the Han family's war drums suddenly sounded up and down the thousands of mountains, and I saw a golden regimental dragon battle flag raised in the Hanwei Army's central army pacesetter, as well as a golden banner of the bright sun and moon, and the Chinese soldiers cheered in unison, struggling to vent the anger in their hearts; Immediately afterwards, a Modao Qinglong Banner was raised in the mountain sinking camp, and a horse lance iron cavalry flag was raised in the Changshui Camp on the hillside.

The three-pole battle flags echoed each other from afar, the entire thousand mountains and flags were full of mountains, iron armor and forests, and more than 30,000 soldiers of the Hanwei Army roared in unison, and the sound of "ten thousand victories" was like a tsunami in the mountains.

At this time, a total of 40,000 troops with two red flags and two blue flags accompanied by Dai Shan and Amin and Mang Gurtai also arrived at Qianshan. Seeing the 30,000 Hanwei troops waiting on the mountain, the hearts of Dai Shan, Amin, and Mang Gurtai were full of fear, and the cruel memories of the Battle of Sarhu and the bloody Battle of the Hunhe River kept replaying in the minds of the three of them.

You must know that during the Battle of Salhu, Liu Yunwei only had thousands of soldiers and horses under his command, and he was inseparable from tens of thousands of golden warriors, and all the banners suffered a lot of casualties; And now, there are no less than 30,000 Hanwei troops in front of him! Judging that its military strength is not inferior to the Qi family army and white pole soldiers in the Battle of Hunhe, how can this battle be fought? Do you want to spell out the two red flags and the two blue flags here?

Seeing that Dai Shan's brows were tightly locked, Amin said in a low voice: "Great Belle, the Great Khan has a strict order, let us stop the Han Wei army, so that the two yellow flags and two white flags can consolidate the city defenses of Shenyang and Liaoyang, and check the remnants of the Ming army in the city." Look, how are we going to fight the enemy in this battle? Isn't it thinking about a strategy? ”

Dai Shan said: "Erbeile, you see, now that the Hanwei army has occupied a favorable position, the Hanwei army is no less elite than the Qi family's army, plus we are attacking a thousand mountains on the back, and the casualties will be very heavy; And this is the place where the battle is being fought, and there is nothing to think of. Therefore, I think it would be better for us to set up camp first and delay the time of confronting the Hanwei army here. ”

Mang Gurtai on the side was a little unhappy when he heard this, and said: "Big Belle, Khan Ama didn't let us lead the army here to see the scenery, we are here to kill the Han dog!" Big Baylor is so negative, how can he win this battle? ”

Dai Shan said with some displeasure: "Could it be that the warriors in the banner are all killed in battle, can we win this battle?" I am the commander of the army appointed by the Great Khan, and my word is the military order! Does Three Baylor have any opinions? ”

Mang Gurtai looked to the side angrily and stopped talking, and Amin was also silent, just looking at the high morale of the Han Wei army on the mountain.

"Pass the order, and the whole army will retreat five miles back and camp."

As soon as Dai Shan finished speaking, he saw a Pashku come and say, "Master Qiqi, the Great Khan has sent an envoy. ”

Dai Shan did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly summoned the messenger and said, "What is the will of the Great Khan?" ”

"Qi Da Beile, the Great Khan has an order: I have mobilized 100 artillery pieces in Shenyang and Liaoyang, which can be transported to the army in about two days.

Dai Shan's heart was suddenly relieved, and he said with a smile: "The minister's decree!" ”

The messenger received a reply from Daizen and departed.

At this time, Dai Shan looked at Amin and Mang Gultai with a smile and said, "Since it is the Great Khan's order, let's test the strength of the Hanwei Army today." I think among us, it is the brave and invincible Sanbeile, so let's lead the army with the blue flag to attack the mountain. ”

Mang Gurtai was immediately full of anger when he heard this, but he couldn't say anything, so he could only take the order angrily.

After a while, the 10,000 army with blue flags separated from the Jiannu array, and drove towards the camp camp, 6,000 Jiannu foot soldiers pushed the simple shield cart in front of the road, and 4,000 iron horsemen followed slowly behind, carefully between the marches. Mang Gurtai lived in the middle of the formation, looking at the soldiers of the Hanwei Army who were waiting for the battle, and he couldn't help beating the drum in his heart.

On the Qianshan Mountain, Liu Yunwei and the others also paid close attention to the every move of the Jiannu army, seeing that the army with the blue flag was less than two miles away from the camp camp and had already entered the range of artillery, Edward on the side said loudly: "Qiqi Town, the Tatars have entered the firing range!" ”

Liu Yunwei said coldly: "Fire!" ”

Edward also yelled: "Fire!" ”

"Put!"

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

The sixty Great Buddha cannons concentrated in the pacesetter camp roared in unison, and the scorching cannons turned into flames of revenge and smashed into the large array of blue-flaged Jiannu, taking away one dirty soul after another. The improvised shield carts made by Jiannu couldn't withstand the condescending bombardment of the big Buddha Lang's machine guns, and they turned into sawdust flying everywhere, bringing a lot of casualties to the surrounding Jiannu soldiers.

"Clean the chamber!"

"Load!"

"Reload the cannon, a cannon!"

"Ready! Put! ”

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

Under Edward's command, the gunners of the Hanwei Army were very skilled in operating the artillery, and the interval between each round of shelling was very short, even compared with the interval between the birds, which shows how strict the gunners' training is on weekdays.

Looking at the blue-flaged Jiannu who was approaching the camp step by step, Liu Yunwei said with a smile: "It seems that this reckless Gurtai is really a little bloody, and he can continue to advance under artillery fire?" However, after seeing the power of the bird after a while, Mang Gurtai will weep bitterly! ”
