Chapter 365: Jinzhou Siege Relief Battle (II)
"Uh......"
In the camp of the Qing army, a leader of the Eight Banners of Mongolia desperately waved the scimitar in his hand, but his body seemed to be frozen there, and he couldn't cut it down.
It turned out that in front of him, the axe and spearman of the Shandong army stabbed the tip of the grass into his lower abdomen, and was stirring it in at the moment, and the Mongolian leader felt that the strength of his whole body dissipated at that moment, and when the tip of the grass was withdrawn, he fell softly in a pool of blood.
After the initial panic, many Qing soldiers had already reacted and immediately rushed towards these sneak Ming troops, some wanted to take the future and have enough food and clothing, and some were breaking through in order to save their lives.
Whatever the idea, it didn't take long for them to be killed on the spot by the neatly lined up Shandong army axe gunners, but there were also some outliers, they were agile and nimble to roll through the gap in the charging Shandong army line.
I thought that behind them were those ranged soldiers with firearms and no power to restrain the chickens, but they were wrong, and the bird gunners who were waiting for them did not panic, they all drew their steel knives to meet them, and they did not show weakness in close combat.
In the end, these people died miserably and were often cut off beyond recognition.
In the establishment of the Shandong Army, the salary and treatment of the bird gunners were higher than that of ordinary soldiers, and they were second only to the cavalry.
In this era, the shooting of firearms is not simple, from the medicine to the launch of more than a dozen steps to be carried out, the Shandong army can go into battle to achieve these steps proficiently, and this is not enough.
Every time there is a big battle, the bird gun must be listed in front of the military formation in advance, because the bird gun is not a bow and arrow, although the power is much greater, but it will not turn outside, and it is easy to hurt one's own people if fired in the back.
The effective range of the bird gun is only more than 100 steps, and the distance that is enough to break the armor is between 50 steps and 100 steps.
Compared with the training of the rest of the soldiers, although the bird gunners are not hard, but they are the most troublesome and expensive one, of course, these bird gunners who spent Wang Zheng at such a cost to train, of course, the role of these bird guns on the battlefield is not as simple as putting a few rounds of three-stage strikes.
First of all, absorbing the shortcomings of the Ming army's firearms, each of these bird-swordsmen of the Shandong Army is equipped with a special waist knife, and they often train fighting skills on weekdays, and they are not weak in close combat.
Secondly, after a few volleys that had just disrupted the opponent's counterattack, the bird guns immediately broke into pieces, and some of them, under the command of their respective officers, kept looking for those unsuspecting enemy soldiers to use cold guns, and the rest handed over the fire guns to the auxiliaries, drew their waist knives, and bent down and quietly came to the front of the formation.
These Bird's Gunners were originally ranged soldiers, and their armor and weapons were also very light, and many of the Qing soldiers who concentrated on fighting with the axe and gunners were killed by sneak attacks.
The big camp here made such a big movement, and the camps of the small Korean and Mongolian tribes around it could certainly notice it, and quickly sent people out to check it.
Wang Zheng naturally took this into account early, and there were already special troops waiting for these reinforcements on the road.
......
A group of about a few hundred Mongol soldiers, each armed with scimitars, ran anxiously in the direction of the camp, but when they passed a slope, the flames lit up on both sides without warning, followed by countless Ming troops with swords in their hands.
These Ming armies were led by a burly Ming general, and the number was also around a few hundred, but these Mongols found that they could not stop the attack of the other side at all, and they were completely defeated almost in the first place.
A whole row of Ming troops armed with tiger guns, even the steps were uniform, shouting and constantly stabbing, several Mongols met them, and soon they were poked into blood hedgehogs and rolled to the ground.
The Shandong soldiers did not give them any respite and a chance to escape, and the soldiers who followed immediately followed immediately made up for it, resulting in the life of the Tartar.
The Mongolian counselor was a little annoyed, and was about to turn around to give an order, but suddenly heard a loud shout from behind him, and before he could reply, he almost subconsciously avoided the strong wind and rolled to the side, just in time to dodge the powerful knife of the Ming general.
Yin Degong was a little surprised, this Tartar is not slow to react!
He was originally a native of Liaodong, and now he is a sentry officer in the Shandong Army War Barracks, in the early years of Liaodong, the whole family was killed by the Tartars There are really a lot of people, when Yin Degong luckily killed three Han soldiers with a white flag, and fled to the border of Jinzhou.
He thought about whether to steal something for a living, but as soon as this idea appeared in his mind, he was thrown out by Yin Degong, maybe what he stole happened to be other people's life-saving food.
In these years, it is not easy for the Han people who have not fled back to Liaodong, and there are fewer people who have been killed by the Tartars, even if they starve to death, they can't do such a lack of morality.
At that time, although Yin Degong was dying, he still adhered to his beliefs, and curled up in the corner of a ruined temple waiting for death, but suddenly heard neat footsteps outside.
Qiang climbed to the edge of the window and looked out, that scene is still fresh in Yin Degong's memory, a general riding a tall horse is leading his troops to pass by with a confident face.
It was Jinzhou City in Liaodong, and there were Han troops and a small number of Tartars stationed, how could there be soldiers and horses wearing Ming clothes and armor passing by?
Yin Degong was very excited, just remembering the young but resolute face of the general at a glance, he struggled to squirm outside the temple, and finally rolled down the steps when the queue was about to pass.
Later, Yin Degong didn't remember anything, probably fainted.
When he woke up again, he was already at sea, listening to the man next to him after saying the original story, Yin Degong couldn't believe it at all, it turned out that he had encountered the official army of the imperial court, called Dengzhou Battalion.
Almost subconsciously, Yin Degong immediately asked if it was the imperial court that fought to Liaodong to recover his homeland, and learned that this Dengzhou battalion was a lone army when he attacked Hetuara in depth, although he was a little disappointed, he was quickly covered up by shock.
It is said that at that time, the Dengzhou battalion fought a beautiful victory in Hetuala, beheaded 3,000 Jiannu, and captured the wife and wife of the old slave chieftain in one go, Yin Degong hurriedly asked who led the court soldiers and horses, whether it was Sun Chengzong, Zu Dashou or Xiaocao.
But the final answer made him unexpected, the name of the leader of this Wendeng camp is Wang Zheng, and he is only in his twenties.
Yin Degong listened to the man's admiring talk about Wang Zheng's reality, and told himself in his heart at that time that no matter what, he must join this Dengzhou battalion.
Then he was very lucky, as soon as he went back, he caught up with Wendeng Camp to open up wasteland and establish a village and expand his recruitment, choose one of the two options, farming and joining the army, Yin Degong, who had a deep hatred with the Tartars, naturally did not hesitate to choose the latter.
At that time, Wang Zheng's power was still very small, but it was only half of Dengzhou's territory, Yin Degong successfully passed the examination and became a saber salt under the inspection department, and was arranged to the branch office of the inspection department in the post of Xunshan, and the remaining eight people were responsible for the investigation of the card in an area after the patrol of the mountain.
This checkpoint is actually a prototype of the Ju Farming Farm in Wang Zheng's heart, and now most of them have developed into farms in one place.
At first, it was very boring, because there was a garrison of Wendeng Battalion, and there were no thieves in this realm at all, but later Wang Zheng built a government-run salt farm after Xunshan, and since then, there have been more petty thieves.
However, what really made Yin Degong turn over happened in that dark night, Liu Bei, who had been operating the private salt industry for many years, was dissatisfied with what Wang Zheng had done, and privately sent a few people here to find out.
That night, Yin Degong got up to pee at night, and happened to meet these sneaky people.
