Emperor Ming Fengyunlu

Volume VI The Battle of the Northern Frontier

Chapter 1 Rampant Liaodong War Tartars

Section 3 Mountains Full of Red Blood Banner (2)

Mang Gurtai looked at the smoke rising from the mountain, his heart was full of anger, it was only two miles away, and the warriors in his banner had already suffered hundreds of casualties under the fierce artillery fire of the Ming army! And what's even worse is that the morale of the army is declining with the baptism of artillery fire of the Ming army, and if it continues like this, the army will collapse sooner or later, and it will be difficult to guarantee that Daishan will not use the problem to suppress himself.

Thinking of this, Mang Gurtai hurriedly ordered the iron cavalry to attack, took the lead in rushing out of the coverage of the Ming army's artillery, and attacked the Ming army's large camp under the mountain with cavalry shooting.

I saw four thousand blue flag iron horsemen slowly driving the war horses and rushing towards the camp camp, at this moment the Ming artillery on the mountain also stopped shelling, Mang Gurtai hurriedly ordered the army to take the opportunity to charge, nearly 10,000 blue flag troops rushed to the camp camp with all their might.

Wu Xing looked at the approaching Jiannu army and roared loudly: "Tiger Venerable Cannon ready!" Bird's hand in the front! ”

The commander of the artillery battalion responded loudly: "The Tiger Zun cannon is loaded!" ”

Then more than 1,500 bird-to-gunners who quickly lined up in three columns roared in unison: "Wan Sheng! Wansheng! Wansheng! ”

Each column had 500 birds, divided into three rows, and the remaining dozens of soldiers were used as reserves. Different from the Qi Army, the Hanwei Army adopted the tactic of rotating shooting, that is, after the first row of soldiers fired, they immediately ran to the back of the formation to load the bird guns; At the same time, the second platoon of soldiers stepped forward to shoot, and after shooting, they repeated the practice of the first platoon of soldiers, and quickly ran to the back of the formation to load the bird guns; In this way, the officers of the third platoon continue to shoot in a cycle, so as to avoid the chaotic situation of alternate loading and firing that may occur after the soldiers in the front row are killed.

At this time, Wu Xingwang saw that the army of Jiannu with the blue flag was only about a hundred steps away from the camp, so he shouted: "Tiger Cannon, release!" ”

"Put!"

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

Ninety Tiger Venerable cannons were fired at the same time, and their momentum was no less than the salvo of the Big Buddha Lang machine guns, and the trapped camp was immediately enveloped in thick gunsmoke. Different from the Franc cannon, the Tiger Zun cannon was loaded with scattered shells, and the ninety Tiger Zun cannons lined up were fired together, forming a dense iron curtain directly at a distance of one hundred steps before trapping the camp, and the Jiannu who rushed in, whether it was an iron horse or a foot soldier, turned into a puddle of minced meat on the ground in a blink of an eye, and the battlefield was filled with bright red blood mist.

Seeing this, Mang Gurtai was furious and ordered the army to continue the charge, while mobilizing the remaining shield carts to cover the archers and prepare to shoot the Ming gunners in the camp. After two rounds of roaring with the Tiger Zun Cannon, the army of the Blue-Banner Jiannu finally rushed to within thirty paces of the camp camp.

At this moment, Wu Xing and Mang Gurtai gave the order to shoot almost at the same time. I saw that the 1,500 bird gunners of the Han Wei army and the 2,000 archers of the blue flag Jiannu were exerting their strength at the same time, and the sharp bird guns and the tricky foot bows were harvesting the lives of the soldiers on both sides together. It's just that the officers and soldiers of the Hanwei Army are wearing double layers of armor, and the soldiers are wearing iron masks on their faces, which are very well protected; Many soldiers seemed to have many arrows hanging on their bodies, but they did not suffer substantial damage, at least no fatal injuries, except for a very few unlucky ghosts who were shot in the neck and eye sockets, Jiannu's arrow rain did not cause many casualties to the officers and soldiers of the Hanwei army. Although most of the soldiers are wearing armor and the protection is in place, but in the face of the lead bullets fired by the fine birds, the original strong armor has no protective effect at all, but those who wear cotton armor have relatively few casualties.

With the continuous shooting of the Hanwei army's bird-gunners, the blue-flaged Jiannu was like wheat, constantly harvested, falling down one by one, while the Hanwei army suffered few casualties.

Finally, under the blow of the soldiers in the trapped camp, the army of Jiannu with blue flags could not resist, and the soldiers of Jiannu fled back in horror, and the whole array rolled back and was in chaos. Mang Gurtai also followed the defeated army back with a pale face, and the arrogance before the battle had long since disappeared, like a lost dog at this time.

Wu Xing saw that the Jiannu army was defeated, where was he willing to let him leave calmly? Hurriedly mobilized 3,000 soldiers to follow him out of the camp to pursue, including 1,000 Mo sword soldiers and 2,000 heavy pikemen.

"Soldiers! Kill slaves! Wu Xing roared and rushed out of the camp first. Three thousand soldiers followed, long knives flying, spears sweeping, Hanwei soldiers roared, roared, killed, the horses in their hands like a soul pen, the defeated soldiers of Jiannu turned into one cold corpse after another.

Wu Xing wielded a long sword and advanced with a thousand Mo sword soldiers, followed by two thousand pikemen, and the entire large array was like a moving wall of death, directly crushing the already defeated large array of Jiannu, leaving lifeless Tartar corpses all the way.

At this time, whether it was Mang Gurtai or Dai Shan and Amin who were watching the battle in the rear, they were all sluggish and full of fear, and the Hanwei army in front of them was simply a copy of the Qi family army, and it was also a Qi family army of 30,000 people! How can this battle be fought? In the first battle of the Hunhe River, the Qi family army and the white pole soldiers of only 7,000 people caused losses of 20,000 or 30,000 dead and wounded to the warriors of Dajin's banners, and now in the face of 30,000 Hanwei troops, how many people will Dajin lose? Ten thousand? Thirty thousand? Or fifty thousand? How many warriors can Daikin have to spend?

Thinking of this, Dai Shan only felt that cold sweat was breaking out all over his body, and his hands holding the horsewhip couldn't help but tremble a few times. Amin on the side said anxiously: "Big Belle, let's evacuate quickly!" It's not too late to wait until the hundred cannons sent by the Great Khan arrive! ”

Dai Shan woke up suddenly when he heard this, and hurriedly ordered the whole army to retreat, and at the same time sent two thousand iron cavalry with red flags to attack and respond to the retreat of the defeated troops with blue flags.

Wu Xing, who was chasing and killing the defeated soldiers with the blue flag, saw Jiannu's move, and knew that he would not be able to get any bargain if he chased it any further, so he immediately ordered the army to stop the pursuit and slowly retreat, only to see that the three thousand soldiers were not chaotic in the process of retreating, and the formation was neat and flawless.

The two thousand red flag iron horsemen roared and killed, but when they saw that the Ming army in front of them was so elite, they gave up that little bit of caution and obediently followed behind the blue flag rout.

After Wu Xing led his troops back to the camp, he immediately ordered the battlefield to be cleaned, and half an hour later, he came to the Chinese army camp on the mountain with the sorted battle report.

At this time, Liu Yunwei was getting together with Wen Poyu, Hu Kun, and Zhou Tianyi to discuss the battle situation, and waited for Wu Xing to come by the way. After a while, everyone saw Wu Xing coming with a bloodstained body.

Liu Yunwei stepped forward and grabbed Wu Xing, and said with a smile: "Wu Guerrilla led his troops to fight bloodily to repel Jiannu, which can be described as a victory in the first battle." ”

Wu Xing bowed and saluted, and said: "Qiqi General Town, the last general has the honor to live up to his mission, this battle has killed a total of 2,374 levels of the head of the Blue Banner Jiannu, and the armor and war horses captured are not counted; In addition, a total of 89 soldiers were martyred in our camp. ”

When Liu Yunwei heard this, he said: "The martyrs will be given double pensions, and the wounded soldiers will also be treated well." After that, he said to Hu Kun: "Governor Hu, Wu Guerrilla won the first battle, and he should write down his first work." ”

Hu Kun said with a smile: "Of course, the meritorious soldiers in the camp will also be carefully checked by their subordinates, and they will not miss a single meritorious soldier." ”

At this time, Wen Poyu looked at the direction of Jiannu's retreat, as if he remembered something, and said: "Big brother, Jiannu was defeated in the first battle today, and his morale must be very low. ”

When everyone heard this, their eyes lit up and they all agreed.

However, Liu Yunwei shook his head and said: "Although the blue flag was defeated today, the two red flags and the positive blue flag did not have any losses, and the strength of the Jiannu army was still strong. Moreover, when the Jiannu army retreated, except for the blue flag, the rest of the Jiannu flags were not chaotic at all, and Dai Shan was also a general of Jiannu, so he would not give us any chance to sneak attack. ”

When everyone heard this, they thought about it carefully and felt that this was indeed the case, so they dispelled the idea of attacking the camp.

It's just that Wen Poyu was still a little unwilling, and said: "Big brother, do you think when Jiannu comes to attack again, will you let the soldiers of the Changshui Battalion fight?" We can't just watch the brothers in the camp eat meat, we also have to drink some soup. ”

Everyone burst out laughing.

Liu Yunwei said with a smile: "Don't worry, Jiannu has 100,000 soldiers, and you have the opportunity to go into battle to kill the enemy." ”

Then, Liu Yunwei thought for a moment and said: "Send out the night and go to Shenyang and Liaoyang to inquire about the movements of the other four banners of Jiannu, we can't be stumped by the Jiannu in front of us." ”

Zhou Tianyi nodded and said, "Don't worry, the subordinates will do it." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone saw a Bai general manager come over and said, "Qiqi Town, Lu Guerrilla is urgent." ”

Liu Yunwei was secretly taken aback, thinking that something had happened in Tongzhou Town, so he hurriedly opened the emergency report and looked at it. Wu Xing, Wen Poyu, Zhou Tianyi, and Hu Kun also leaned forward, not knowing what happened.

After a while, everyone saw Liu Yunwei laughing loudly and asking what happened.

Liu Yunwei said with a smile: "The imperial court has issued an order to requisition 30,000 Han Wei troops to Liao again, preparing to recapture Shenyang and Liaoyang!" ”

"Great!"

"It's going to be a big battle!"

"Let's see how long that Jiannu can be rampant!"

Hearing this good news, everyone was very happy and talked about it. Wen Poyu asked, "Big brother, is there any good news in the urgent report?" ”

Liu Yunwei smiled and said, "Yes! Lu Ying has already led the Feiyu Battalion, the Tiger Battalion, and the Eagle Yang Battalion to the north, and now it has passed the Shanhai Pass! ”
