Chapter 57: The Battle of Mingmengjin (14)
Thundered! Thundered! Another burst of cannonade! Immediately after the Jin cavalry launched a charge, their charge was not to slash and kill the enemy head-on, but to pursue, and they did not charge fast, but carefully pursued, because the enemy they pursued would continue to fire firearms backwards from time to time, they were not chasing others, it was the team led by Lu Xiangsheng, after that sneak attack, Lu Xiangsheng and Yuan Chonghuan were tired of this sneak attack on the grain road, with the help of artillery, they could take advantage of the rapid mobility of the war horse action, From time to time, the ambush is a burst of bombardment against the enemy's grain transport team, and when the enemy comes, he immediately runs away, and along the way, he also buries mines on the way to escape, or arranges firearms formations on the way to escape, and lures the enemy to bombard deeply, Guanning Iron Cavalry and then cooperate with the charge to kill the enemy, several times down is fruitful, but also because of the number of times, the Houjin cavalry and the Mongolian cavalry are also smart, after being bombarded, the Houjin soldiers will launch a pursuit, and after the artillery is out of range, they will return and no longer pursue, never love to fight, Moreover, the scope of their reconnaissance is also getting bigger and bigger, and now it is more difficult to sneak attack again, so Lu Xiangsheng and others also occasionally sneak attack when they are not paying attention, of course, because there are too many sneak attacks, and now artillery shells, mines, grenades, rockets and other equipment are gradually decreasing, so now the enemy does not return fire with firearms when he is pursuing. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info However, the effect of their sneak attack is still significant, because the safety of the grain route is seriously threatened, Huang Taiji had to send additional troops to guard, from the original 20,000 guards to 40,000 people;
Lu Xiangsheng stopped after seeing that the enemy army was not in pursuit, found the place where Yuan Chonghuan was ambushed, and the two began to discuss.
Yuan Chonghuan smiled: "Jiandou! Now this trick is not good, and the Tartars are not fooled! Our brothers have been without military merit for days! β
Lu Xiangsheng was speechless and said, "Yes! It's just that the reconnaissance range near their station has also doubled, and it's no longer easy to sneak attack, and His Majesty's will has also been seen, right?! β
Yuan Chonghuan nodded, thought for a while and said: "If we withdraw our troops now and start attacking Datong and Xuanfu, it should not be a good time, Your Majesty's will is to choose a good time to seal the pass, then not now, according to the information sent by the Dongchang spies, the enemy is still concentrated in Juyong Pass, so it can be said that the current Datong defense is relatively empty, but Datong is my Ming military town after all, and there are still a lot of rebels, it is not suitable for us to attack the city now, not to mention Xuanfu!" β
Lu Xiangsheng nodded: "Elemental is right!" Since Your Majesty did not let us come back to help, it shows that the situation in the Kannai is still optimistic! It is within the control of His Majesty, but now that the battle outside the pass, I estimate that Huang Taiji will not last long! β
Yuan Chonghuan nodded in approval, originally Huang Taiji just wanted to have a quick victory, grab grain, grab land and people to survive this famine, but now it has been spent nearly two months here, plus Lu Xiangsheng and Yuan Chonghuan sneak attacks from time to time to rub oil, they can gradually stand it!
Lu Xiangsheng pondered for a while and said: "Then Lin Dan Khan's reinforcements should have arrived, it's time to launch a decisive battle, and our army's ammunition inventory is running out, so we have to keep it to attack Xuanfu and Datong!" If you spend it here, even if you have a good time, you will be powerless! β
Yuan Chonghuan said with a smile: "In this case, let's also go to Lin Danhan's place to sit down, I haven't been to his place for so long!" Anyway, we helped him a lot! β
Lu Xiangsheng agreed, laughing and said, "Then let's go!" Brethren! Walk! Go to dinner with your eldest brother! Saying that, he slapped the horsewhip and rushed away, and Yuan Chonghuan shouted: "Okay, you Jiandou!" I want to be the first to do it! Drive! After more than a month of common war and life and death, all the people have no distinction between Beijing or Guanning Iron Cavalry, they are all soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, everyone is commensurate with brothers, with the completion of the run-in The battle between the two armies is now not what it used to be, and Lu Xiangsheng and Yuan Chonghuan's love and concern for the soldiers, as well as their wisdom and bravery, make them both loved and respected by all the soldiers, I don't know who couldn't help but shout big brother one day, and Lu Xiangsheng and Yuan Chonghuan also accepted such a title, and gradually everyone changed their name, and the two of them were happy to accept it, because they understood that only when the army worked together, and could obey their command and fight bravely, such an army could become a division that won all battles!
Just when Lu Xiangsheng and Yuan Chonghuan took their brothers to Lin Danhan's meal happily, the battalion commander of Huang Taiji at this time was full of gloomy clouds, and Huang Taiji said with a gloomy face: "Let's talk about it, how to fight this battle now?" If we continue to consume like this, we will defeat ourselves without a fight! Huang Taiji regretted sending out Ji'er Harang and Fan Wencheng, and now he didn't even have a person around him, he couldn't help but sigh!
Everyone also lowered their heads, they also knew the current situation, and they all scolded Lin Dan Khan for being shameless and the Ming army being even more shameless, and the current strength was one and the other, and there was no chance of winning if it was consumed at all.
Someone said: "Great Khan! Let's start the final battle! β
Another said: "Since they are hiding in this woods and playing hide and seek with us, then we will burn them all and they will always come out!" β
The generals of Houjin and the arrival of Mongolia were all in favor of starting to prepare for a decisive battle, no matter what, for more than a month, they fought too aggrieved, they couldn't give full play to their strength, they were restrained everywhere, they had never fought such a aggrieved battle, and they had already held back a breath of air in their hearts.
Huang Taiji thought to the end, and couldn't help but agree to the plan of the decisive battle, no matter what, after the battle, he had to retreat, so he nodded, began to command, everyone took the order to go, Huang Taiji also wrote a letter, sent someone out of the big tent, and finally went southγγγγγγ
Lin Dan Khan was very surprised by the arrival of Lu Xiangsheng and Yuan Chonghuan, these two support troops have never seen them since they came out of the customs to help themselves, but he has seen the help they have given themselves, so he is also grateful to them in his heart, the Mongols appreciate heroes, Lu Xiangsheng and Yuan Chonghuan led the army to fight alone in the desert, giving the Houjin and the Mongol coalition army a heavy army, and all of them have become heroes in the eyes of Lin Dan Khan's army.
Lin Dan Khan received them warmly, when he saw these two armies, his eyes lit up, it was really an elite division, this Guanning Iron Cavalry was really as said, it was a strong army, and when he saw a team of firearms in Beijing that he had never seen, he couldn't help but marvel, these are all treasures that can easily cause great damage to Houjin, after this battle, I discussed with the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom to see if I could sell it to Ben Khan, and I was willing to exchange war horses for Ben Khan! Lin Dan Khan thought, looking at the people in the Beijing camp again, although there is a difference between them and the Guanning Iron Cavalry, but the evil spirit revealed from them cannot be underestimated, no wonder it can defeat the Houjin army in Korea, it is really better to see it than to hear it! Lin Dan Khan sighed!
Looking at Lu Xiangsheng again, although he was wearing armor at this time, holding a Daguan knife, and had a domineering aura, but the domineering aura also revealed an elegant aura that made Lin Danhan feel that this person was really a contradiction, could this be the legendary Confucian general? And Yuan Chonghuan, Lin Danhan felt that although this person was also a Confucian general, his determination was less than that of Lu Xiangsheng, but he was more calm, it seems that these two people are really a golden partner! No wonder no wonder such achievements can be achieved in this short period of time, Lin Dan Khan sighed, and at the same time began to envy Emperor Chongzhen, why don't I have such a talent under my subordinates?
Lin Dan Khan retracted his gaze and laughed: "The arrival of the heroes has made the big tent of Ben Khan shine! You've worked hard for more than a month! For your help, Ben Khan has it all in mind! You will always be our friendly friends of Mongolians! Come! First of all, we will send our heroes a Hada that represents our hearts! β
I saw a group of sergeants holding white stripes in Lin Dan Khan's army, and they walked towards the Ming army with reverent eyes, and everyone in the Ming army felt their friendship, so they all held their heads high to accept their thanks! Seeing that everyone was wearing this white Hada, Lin Dan Khan shouted with satisfaction: "May the Immortal Heaven bless our friends!" All right! Ben Khan has been preparing it for a long time, and there is also beef and mutton! Today we are not drunk and do not return! β
The army remembered the cheers, and Lu Xiangsheng and Yuan Chonghuan looked at each other, or Yuan Chonghuan said: "I will wait for the good intentions of the Great Khan, and I will be exempted from drinking today, the big war is imminent, how about not getting drunk or returning after we defeat the enemy?" It may ruin the Great Khan, and we will make amends here! After saying that, he made a fortune.
Lin Danhan looked at it and said with a smile, "You're right! But Ben Khan isn't so stingy! Ha ha! Good! Then don't drink today! Just eat meat! Two of you! Inside please! Your brother Ben Khan has already made arrangements! β
Lu Xiangsheng and Yuan Chonghuan looked at each other! They all smiled and nodded to Lin Dan Khan and said, "In this way, it is better to be respectful than to obey your fate!" β
"Haha! It is also an honor for Ben Khan to be able to eat with the two heroes! Please! Lin Dan Khan was very enthusiastic, and on this day, Lin Dan Khan's battalion commander was full of laughter. The crowd sang and danced and ate meat to their heart's contentγγγγγγ
