Section 262

The defensive strength of the Fengzhou army in the Butong River was strengthened again, and the 3,000 garrisons of Xinghe guarding Wang Dongqiang, and the 2,000 Chahar cavalry of Darhan and Martyr's Rite arrived in these two days, and they had more capital in their hands, Li Yu and Liu Xingzuo planned to give the opponent a little hardship, in addition to hiding the cavalry, the main force of infantry and artillery pressed to the bank of the river.

Xinghe Wei Shi Ge Kuli had sharp eyes, recognized that it was the Han army who was playing the soap-inlaid green army flag on the opposite side, felt insulted, and immediately pointed to the other side and scolded, and the Zhushen soldiers in the Fengzhou army also reacted, and beat their chests and coaxed, at this time they hated the old ancestor for leaving too few scolding words.

"Shameless, coward, let the Han minions go into battle and lose the face of the ancestors."

"Jin people who take the evil road, you are stupid bears and stupid donkeys."

……

The soldiers of the Eight Banners were scolded so much that they couldn't raise their heads, and Zhu Shen regarded himself as brave, and he always looked down on the Han soldiers and Mongolian soldiers, and was scolded by the same clan on the other side, and he was embarrassed to meet people. Tiancong Khan indifferently and carefully observed, the opponent's armor was neat, swords and spears were like a forest, more than a dozen artillery pieces were placed in front of the formation, and the soldiers were scolding without fear in the face of the Jin army, which was very different from the last time they saw in Kuku and Tun, and the three tall and strong fortresses were also fluttering with flags and crowds, and the muzzles of the black holes pointed to the opposite bank.

I haven't dealt with it for two years, Fengzhou is stronger, this stone is getting harder and harder to gnaw, I don't know what will happen in the future, no, where are their cavalry? Erlu, this kid won't be bad again, right-Tiancong Khan thought for a while, and ordered the Liaodong Han army to attack, to be honest, the current Eight Banners have their own ghosts, and the Mongol soldiers are bent on robbery, and only this army is the most obedient, but before they can make a move, the artillery on the opposite bank will come first.

"The other side is full of bright dogs, sons, hit hard!" Kong Youde brandished his war knife and ordered to fire back, and Geng Zhongming and Shang Kexi each led their soldiers to rush to the pontoon bridge.

Most of the Han army in Liaodong was born as miners, after the fall of Liaodong, they had a deep hatred for the Jin State, followed Mao Wenlong in Liaodong bloody struggle for nearly ten years, the most brave and good at fighting, but the Ming Dynasty let down these loyal and brave soldiers, always regarded them as Liaodong's soldiers, untouchables, long-term confrontation finally led to the Denglai mutiny, the imperial court was blindly killed, forcing them to be cornered, and the enemies who were not in the same sky before extended a helping hand, helping them settle their families, distributing them land and property, in order to feed them, He even bowed his head and borrowed grain from North Korea, this kindness cannot be repaid! On the other side of the river is the dog leg of the Ming court, and they must be defeated and make contributions to the Dajin Kingdom.

The Han army of Liaodong was trained by the Francophone in Denglai Town, equipped with a lot of guns, more than 1,000 catties of heavy artillery did not bring, hundreds of pounds of large and small artillery but there are thirty or forty, the guns are countless, the fight is full of gunsmoke, the momentum is amazing, the armored foot soldiers have firearms cover, but also dare to rush forward with red eyes, its fierce and brave so that the Fengzhou army is also surprised.

"I'm just curious, the Ming army looks like a wreck, how can you turn into the Jin army, Lao Man, you fought in Liaodong, are Mao Wenlong's soldiers like this?" Sun Shoufa looked straight ahead and asked--Among the commanders of the infantry army along the river, he and Man Zhu have the highest military ranks, and they are all high-grade generals, and they serve as the commanders of the former enemy together.

"I haven't seen it, I only heard that the soldiers in Dongjiang Town are ruthless in fighting, and the Jin army is also afraid of them, Lao Sun, I heard them scold us for being the dogs of the Ming Kingdom, too insulting! You just command here, and I'll take people across the river. Man Zhu said with a few puffs of his cigarette.

"Can you smoke less, choke to death, forget it, Ding Mazi is in front, you go up to make him unhappy, wait for him to enjoy it." Sun Shoufa glanced at Manzhu and replied.

Ding Qiming is fighting handily, the artillery battalion has grown to 1,500 people, there are 1,000 rifles, 15 500 catties of camp guns, the family is bold and strong, dare to fire at dozens of artillery pieces on the opposite bank, the infantry guns are pressed to the river embankment with dense volleys to block the river, Xinghe infantry battalion officer Yuan Lie and Xinghe guard Wang Dongqiang started the idea of training, very initiative to run to help, dense arrow rain shot over, Liaodong Han army appeared in front of an iron gate, several times rushed across the pontoon bridge were beaten back. The artillery on the fortress was not willing to be lonely, and condescendingly threw cannons at the Jin army, but the Han army in Liaodong had a kind of army, which refused to retreat along the riverbank, gritted its teeth and fired at the Fengzhou army.

has already fired more than a dozen rounds, why hasn't the artillery of the Jin army exploded? Ding Qiming regretted that he didn't know that the other party's firearms were cast by Sun Yuanhua, the former governor of Denglai, and the quality was far better than the ordinary firearms used by the Ming and Jin armies. However, it is indeed too difficult to defeat the opponent with a pair of shots, the accuracy of the artillery in these years is too poor, and the momentum of the fight is terrifying, but it is not easy to kill and injure the opponent, the two sides fought for more than an hour, and the losses of artillery and gunners were minimal, but hundreds of Liaodong Han soldiers were killed on the pontoon bridge and the bank of the river by the infantry guns. Ding Qiming shook his head, let's fight, keep fighting, my soldiers are well-trained, and the guns are good and the rate of fire is fast, see how long you can last!

On the main fortress, Li Yu and Liu Xingzuo stood side by side, observing every move on the battlefield, Terrig and Asari stood silently behind them, not far from them, Shi Laoliu and Wang Chong, the owner of the Xinghe Iron Factory, were still whispering.

"Lao Shi, everyone is an old acquaintance, you give me a happy word, how about my leather cannon? Can you order a large quantity? Wang asked again, I heard that the commander had arrived, and in the name of providing after-sales service, he had already arrived at the Butong River, and Shi Lao Liu of the Ordnance Department came to test the actual combat performance of the weapon, and he was immediately entangled by him.

"It's not good, your cannon is indeed cheap, and it is very light, but the heat dissipation is too poor, the rate of fire is slow, and it can only be used for caretaking." Shi Lao Liu replied that he already had a tiger head symbol on his chest - in two years, from a smuggler who made weapons privately to a guerrilla subordinate, Shi Lao Liu was also a strange flower.

"But my service is good, free replacement of gun barrels within a year, who can do it?"

"No, our Fengzhou army is mainly based on mobile warfare, and your craftsmen can't run around with the army," Shi Laoliu shook his head and said seriously, "Lao Wang, the ordnance market is fiercely competitive, and there must be excellent things, Dongsheng Iron Works has artillery, Xuande Iron Factory has horse bugs, it is difficult for you to compare with others, you have to find another way." ”

"Then what do you say, Xinghe Iron Factory is such a big stall, and you can't eat enough with farm tools such as plough hoes and plough mirrors!"

Shi Lao Liu leaned close to Wang Chong's ear and whispered: "I brought some mines, thunderstorms, although the profit of this thing is not high, but the consumption is very large, it can also make money, are you interested in pondering it?" ”

"Of course, good brother, I'll give you a share when it's done." Wang Chong's eyes lit up and he shouted, and Shi Lao Liu quickly covered his mouth and dragged him away.

Li Yu and Liu Xingzuo on the other side of the fortress put down their clairvoyance, and Liu Xingzuo said: "This Han army's ability to use firearms is too strong, Sun Yuanhua taught a hungry wolf, and it will be a problem to keep it sooner or later, and it must be defeated." ”

Li Yu nodded, and ordered Terrig and Asari: "Drag all the artillery of the three fortresses in this direction, use a salvo to cut off the Jin army from the Liaodong Han army, and order the front battalion of the cavalry of Baiyintu and the rear battalion of the cavalry of Kubai to wade across the river from the left and right flanks to attract the attention of the Jin army. ”

Soon after the order was issued, there were a few muffled sounds on the other side, Ding Qiming's long-awaited time for the explosion was up, first a few artillery pieces had an accident, and then the big and small guns also burst, the Ming Kingdom was shoddy, and the Franco machine man was still not much better, and Wu Laoba, the commander of the artillery sentry, took the opportunity to launch a salvo at the chaotic crowd on the other side, and the Han army in Liaodong was in chaos for a while.

The charging horn of the Fengzhou army sounded, Jin Guoding stood up and raised his sword and shouted, "Gun sword, gun battalion charge!" Almost at the same time, the infantry men drew their short swords at their waists and put them on the infantry - this was the method that the master of the Xuande Iron Works came up with, so that the artillery had the ability to fight hand-to-hand, and followed the captain's whistle to the pontoon bridge.

"Infantry right battalion, charge!" "Charge the deputy army of the rear battalion of the infantry army!" "Xinghe Infantry Battalion Charge!" The three main infantry battalions also launched a counterattack, unlike the well-behaved artillery artillery, the infantry unceremoniously overtook them from behind, wading across the river in a chaotic manner, Tie Biao, the deputy battalion officer of the right battalion of the infantry army, Qin Hu, the deputy battalion officer of the rear battalion of the infantry army, and Yuan Lie, the battalion officer of the Xinghe infantry battalion, personally led the charge - the three madmen in the Fengzhou infantry army were all there, just kidding, how could the work of the infantry be snatched away by the artillery guns.

The Han army in Liaodong didn't have time to sort out the formation, under the leadership of Shang Kexi and Geng Zhongming, they fearlessly rushed forward against the Fengzhou army, they fought a bloody battle with the strong Jin army in Liaodong for ten years, and the Ming army, which was several times larger than itself in SD, was defeated, and only when it was exhausted, it was defeated by the Guanning Iron Cavalry, and the two teams collided together in the blink of an eye. This is a hand-to-hand combat, the victory or defeat all depends on the courage of the soldiers, equipment and fighting ability, the Liaodong Han army is unfortunately met with a stronger opponent, Fengzhou soldiers are in armor, long and short weapons, on the surface chaotic, in fact, even, team, whistle cooperation skillful, and kill people without blinking, the division of tigers and wolves is nothing more than that, Liaodong Han army soon could not stand it - Liaodong Han army did not know, Fengzhou silver banknote bank wantonly issued loans to the purchase of equipment for soldiers, do not slaughter them, not to mention military merits, even repayment of loans is a problem.

"There must be a big official of Jin Kou under that big flag, slaughter him for me!" Tie Biao killed easily, and at a glance at the big banner that was still gratifying, the left sentry chief Ma Hutou and the deputy sentry chief Hao Shaoqi immediately screamed and killed the past.

At the age of fourteen, Ma Hutou followed Shi Yan's Ma family to fight in the east and west, he was brave, and he went out of the military selection camp to be promoted directly to the sentry chief, Hao Shaoqi was also a new fierce general, two fierce gods pounced on him, Shang Kexi was immediately unlucky, and the soldiers around him were killed in pieces, and he was also slashed by Ma Hutou, and the family gave up his life to save him, but his banner was snatched away by Hao Shaoqi. Shang Kexi was defeated, Geng Jingzhong could no longer support it, and the two difficult brothers covered each other and retreated with the remnants of the army.

Kong Youde was also attacked at the same time, but he didn't dare to retreat, the dozens of artillery pieces and hundreds of big guns in front of him were the capital of the Han army in Liaodong, and they couldn't be lost! More than a thousand red-eyed outlaws surrounded him, crackling and crackling, temporarily suppressing the offensive of the Toyosu army.

"Liu Shuangxi, throw a thunderbolt to kill these miscellaneous pieces, and attack with a white blade!" Jin Guoding came up, the other party actually played with firearms with him, he was tired of it, and with his order, a team of gunnery artillery rushed up, and the thunderbolt with white smoke smashed into the face of the other party - the wooden handle thunder that Shi Laoliu had just sent came in handy, and before the explosion fell, the gunned artillery killed him.

Liu Shuangxi stabbed the sword into the opponent's stomach, and the man was a lot taller than him, with a horizontal face, and he had not yet woken up from the explosion. I killed, I actually killed! Liu Shuangxi's mind was blank, and the veteran soldiers around him shouted, "Captain, be careful!" Liu Shuangxi, who was in a panic, forgot about the stab, and swung his gun to slash at the opponent, which was the action he practiced tens of thousands of times at the preparation post of the Flying Tiger Battalion, and the sword accurately slashed through the opponent's neck - from today on, I am a Fengzhou Army soldier like my brother, Liu Shuangxi said to himself silently, and rushed to the next enemy with a starting gun.

The artillery battalion tore open the gap, the other infantry battalions took advantage of the situation to attack, Kong Youde's big tent was also taken by the deputy army of the rear battalion of the infantry army, the captain Liu Tichun kicked down the soap-inlaid blue flag, and the black eagle flag fluttered high on the Chinese position of the Han army in Liaodong.

Kong Youde, who was overwhelmed, did not want to die, and led the remnants of the army to defend the last position without retreating, Geng Zhongming and Shang Kexi saw this, and also ran to meet him, more than 2,000 horses shrunk together, under the dense bows and arrows of the Fengzhou army, and the volleys of the rifles, they were knocked down one by one, and the destruction of the Han army in Liaodong seemed to be in sight, but at this moment, the retreat horn of the Fengzhou army sounded.

Tiancong Khan was still slow to react, he wanted to take the opportunity to observe the reality of the Fengzhou army, but he never expected that the opponent's attack power was so strong, the elite Han army of more than 3,000 people, was almost destroyed in less than a meal, and the opponent's strength did not have a significant advantage. Tiancong Khan had no choice but to send Wu Bai and Turushh to rescue, but these two guys were also unlucky, and they were not close to the Liaodong Han army, and suddenly a piece of artillery flew from the opposite bank of the fortress, and the iron cavalry walking in front was beaten dizzy, and the Fengzhou cavalry also appeared on the left and right wings, Wu Bai and Turushh hesitated, sounded the rescue number, and with the overall pressure of the Jin army, they continued to move forward - to be honest, the Eight Banners really didn't want to care about the life and death of the Han army in Liaodong, Mao Wenlong's hands were too dark, and his soldiers were in Liaodong when they were "killed, burned, rob the light", the Great Khan can forgive them, but the ordinary flag soldiers still remember this hatred, and even wish that the Erlu brothers would kill all these people, otherwise they should have climbed to the distance of less than a mile.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Fengzhou army re-arrayed, covering each other alternately and retreating to the west of the river, after the Eight Banners Army and the Liaodong Han Army converged, they cursed and scolded in their mouths, but they also had no intention of pursuing, fortunately, the Jin Army's collection call also sounded, and the Eight Banners soldiers were very satisfied to see the Fengzhou Army leave.

The decisive battle must be avoided, if this battle continues, not only will it be impossible to enter the customs, but it will also be a problem to even go home - Tiancong Khan tried to control his emotions, and glanced at Baylor and the important ministers around him, these guys immediately lowered their heads, and it was obvious that they didn't want to fight either.

"Re-reward Kong Youde, Shang Kexi, and Geng Zhongming." Tiancong Khan waved his hand, suddenly grabbed Ying Erdai's collar, and roared angrily, "Tell me, where did those firearms in Erlu come from? Artillery, guns, and those hand-thrown mines, all of them are good, don't you do business with them, ask him, and I must have what he has. ”

"Great Khan, their ordnance is all made by themselves, I asked them, can we sell it, but only Fengzhou silver banknotes are collected, and it is not discounted, shall we buy it or not?" Inordai gasped and replied.

"Buy, what we have is silver, give me 100,000 taels of silver bills, and I'm a fan of money." Tiancong Khan threw Ying Ordai away.

"That's it, it's better to do business, anyway, the Ming country has money, we just grab it and use it, Erlu is actually the same as us, we robbed the silver from the Ming country, and he cheated the silver from the Ming country." Shuoto stood behind Yue Tuo and muttered quietly.

As soon as it was mentioned to rob the Ming Kingdom, everyone was immediately excited, and they laughed, Tiancong Khan waved his hand, "Ben Khan knows what you think, we are not entangled with Erlu, and immediately go south to Xuanfu to crusade against the Ming Kingdom", as soon as the words came out, everyone agreed that beating people should still pick up soft bullying, since Fengzhou is too hard, then it deserves the bad luck of Mingguo.

"However, Erlu can't help but watch, Da Belle has been through a hundred battles and has become a country, so he will work a little harder, and Wu Bai and Turush's men and horses will also be handed over to you." Tiancong Khan looked at Lao Daishan with a smile and said.

The eighth child is going to harm me again, I will work hard for you to get rich, and there is no door! Dai Shan squeezed out a smile and said: "The Great Khan has an order, of course the old minister obeys it, but well, last time we divided the troops and suffered a lot, the old minister and Wu Bai and Turushh The two minions add up to only 15,000 people, isn't this another opportunity for the Erlu devils, in the eyes of the old minister, it is better not to divide the troops, and the two red flags have been poor and panicked over the years, and if they don't give the minions some benefits, they are not bored to fight!" ”

"It's easy to say, Ben Khan can't treat the two red flags badly, you just need to delay Elu for ten days, lest he spoil our business, just enter the customs after the thing is over, Ben Khan is waiting for you in Shuozhou." Tiancong Khan blocked Dai Shan's mouth, and immediately changed the topic and asked the ministers to discuss the matter of entering the customs.

Everyone couldn't wait, and they decided to enter the customs with nonsense, the only problem was that the leaders of the Mongol tribes were unanimously opposed to the entry of the Chahars - these guys had bullied them before, so why should they pick up a chance to make a fortune when they first arrived.

Tiancong Khan had no choice but to do the work of the Chahar people again, saying that he would definitely take them to get rich next time, and Tuba was of course reluctant to have the opportunity to make a fortune, but the people were too angry, so they had to agree to stay outside the pass and obey the command of Da Beile.

Before dawn in the early morning of the next day, the main force of the Jin army quietly descended from Butong HN and killed directly outside the Xuanfu.
