"Ezhen, it's the artillery of the Ming army." He finally had some insight and could tell from the sound that the tent was on fire.

"Artillery? How could the Ming army have such artillery? Sukhbaru looked at the soldiers who were scurrying around, his mare's milk wine was completely awake, but his mind was blank.

"Ezhen, don't worry about the artillery, let the soldiers get on their horses and escape from the sea of fire quickly!" He was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, and at this moment, he hated mare's milk wine.

Sukhbaru was smoked by the fire just now, and the flowering shells of the Ming army's artillery were something he had never seen before, and his brain was stunned for a while, and after being reminded of it, he suddenly understood, and he shouted at the soldiers in the firelight: "Hurry up and get on the horse, break out, and don't care about the mare's milk." ”

His voice was soon drowned out by the explosion of artillery, but Jiannu's cavalry was well-trained, they had grown up on horseback, and knew the importance of war horses, and even if they could not hear the shouts of Sukhbaru, the soldiers who escaped from the fire still grabbed the reins of their horses, jumped on their horses, and rushed out desperately.

The frightened Jiannu soldiers finally rushed out of the sea of fire and surrounded Sukhbaru, and they looked at Sukhbaru with frightened eyes one by one.

Unfortunately, their Ejin was not sure what was going on, and he was about to ask his soldiers, but seeing the faces of the soldiers, Sukhbaru knew that his question was unnecessary.

Sukhbaru sat on horseback, frowning and thoughtful.

"Ezhen, the Ming army is there." The eyes of the pro-soldiers were taken away from Sukhbaru's face, and only then did they discover a large number of Ming troops.

"Ming Army?" A light immediately appeared in Sukhbaru's eyes, and Hitomi was congested with excitement and anger: "In the wild, on horseback, it is the world of my Jurchens, rush!" Kill all these Ming Dynasty tofu troops. ”

Sukhbaru did not wait for the soldiers, he took the lead in waving his saber, urging the war horse to rush towards the position of the Ming army.

"Kill the Ming Dynasty Tofu Army!" The soldiers followed closely behind Sukhbaru, and the fears and doubts of the moment were long gone, lured by the bloodthirstiness.

But they had just escaped from the fire and had no time to get their shields, and some of the soldiers didn't even have time to put on their leather armor.

More than 200 war horses set off a hurricane on the ground, and rushed towards the position of the Ming army like a typhoon.

"There are only more than 200 people." Li Hongjun sneered, "Stop the shelling, prepare the flintlock pistol, enter the range of a hundred paces, and shoot immediately." ”

The gunners clutched their flintlock pistols tightly and stared at the horses in front of them.

"Shoot." Li Hongjun's voice was deep and powerful.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

……

Sukhbaru, who rushed to the front of the team, was hit by more than ten bullets, and his fat body shook twice on the horse, and he barely stabilized his body, but the horses behind could not stop the tendency to rush forward, and knocked Sukhbaru's horse into it, and he fell from the horse very unwillingly.

The soldiers who followed Sukhbaru closely also fell from their horses one by one, and the bodies of two soldiers were tightly covered by Sukhbaru's body like shields.

Without Sukhbaru's withdrawal order, both the Jurchen soldiers and the Mongol soldiers were brave warriors.

One hundred steps was the line of death, and more than a hundred Jurchen and Mongol soldiers fell on this line of death.

At the back of the team, I remembered the scene under Ningyuan City.

"Stop the attack."

He pulled the reins and slowed his horse, and the last fifty or so soldiers who followed him stopped beyond the death line.

"What? There are times when Jiannu does not dare to attack? Li Hongjun smiled and whispered to the soldiers around him.

"Master?"

Li Hongjun thought for a while, "The corpses of the soldiers and horses of Jiannu blocked the view of the gunners, go, remove the corpses, and all the soldiers of Jiannu, regardless of whether they died or not, will have their heads cut off." ”

"Yes." The soldiers agreed.

It seemed that the war was over, or that the Ming army regarded the Uri as a corpse, and they dragged away the horses that had fallen in front of the gunners, and all the soldiers, whether dead or not, cut off their heads.

"Zalan Zhangjing, the Ming army is slaughtering our wounded soldiers, and Ezhen is still ahead." The voice of a Jurchen soldier rang in his ears.

"Yes, Ezhen is still ahead, you take ten soldiers and go to snatch Ezhen back, you want to see people alive, and you want to see corpses when you die." His teeth clenched.

The soldier hesitated for a moment, and seeing that his face was not gloomy, it didn't seem like a joke at all, so he gritted his teeth and casually ordered nine soldiers.

"Rush up and snatch Ezhen back." With a flick of the reins, he was the first to charge towards the line of death.

"Bang, bang, bang."

The ten Jurchen soldiers, along with their horses, all fell on the line of death, without even a single wail.

He was still sitting upright on his horse, but his mount was restlessly kicking the ground with its hooves, shaking its ears, and even raising its head to the sky with a long neigh.

"Brothers, you have seen that Ezhen can no longer be snatched back. The Ming army had new firearms, and in order to avoid more casualties, we had to go back and report to the banner owner. ”

All the soldiers lowered their heads and looked at their horses, and no one dared to offer to take them back.

"Ezhen is dead, you listen to my orders and immediately withdraw to Jinzhou." He took one last look at the line of death and estimated the range of the flintlock pistol. Sukhbaru's body is no longer visible, and it should have been beheaded by the Ming army.

He didn't turn his horse's head and headed north, and the more than forty soldiers around him were also fighting bravely.

"Master, Jiannu has run away."

"Run?" Li Hongjun was happy, "There are only so many Jiannu left, where else can they go?" We eat meat, we should let the second brigade drink some soup, right? ”

"Bang, bang, bang."

Dense gunfire was heard from the north, and soon it was quiet again.

The 2nd and 3rd Brigades slowly withdrew to Ningyuan with nearly 400 Jurchen and Mongol heads.

Yuan Chonghuan convened a meeting of division and brigade commanders to sum up the combat experience of flintlock pistols, and then gave feedback to the military headquarters.

"Ning Yuan is stable for the time being." Jinzhou's Jiannu reinforcements were all wiped out, and Yuan Chonghuan's heart finally returned to his chest.

"Junzuo, will Jinzhou's Jiannu still send reinforcements?" Wu Bing was full of anticipation, he took more than 3,000 soldiers, and trekked in the mountains and mountains for most of the night, but only waited for dozens of Jiannu to come, and his appetite had just been whetted.

Li Xing smiled: "Reinforcements? There are only two Niu Lu left in Jinzhou, where did Jiannu get reinforcements? ”

Yuan Chonghuan was taken aback: "They only have two cows?" How do you know? "If it is really like what Li Xing said, then Jinzhou is the fat in his mouth, and he will never let this fat slip away from his mouth.

"The military seat, it was 'Hai Dongqing' who said it." Li Xing briefly said the secret letter left by 'Hai Dongqing'.

"This Hai Dongqing, where is he?" Yuan Chonghuan got up from his seat, pinched his chin with his right hand, and supported the elbow of his right arm with his left hand, pacing back and forth in the hall.

Everyone knew that Yuan Chonghuan was thinking about the problem, no one bothered him, they were all thinking about their own thoughts, and the venue was so silent that they could hear the heartbeats of several division commanders.

"Senior Commander Ning, your second division hasn't fought yet, has it?" Yuan Chonghuan suddenly stopped beside Ning Xianlong, and squinted at Ning Xianlong, who was quietly meditating as if the Buddha was meditating.

"Yes, Junzuo, my subordinates ask Junza to give the Second Division a chance." Ning Xianlong got up from his seat with a "pout", perhaps because he was looking forward to it too much, he didn't dare to look at Yuan Chonghuan's face.

The other two division commanders did not hide the loss on their faces, especially Liu Yuxuan, whose third division had never fought with Jiannu since they arrived at Shanhaiguan.

"Haha, Master Ning, there is an opportunity right now, I don't know if the second division can be competent." Yuan Chonghuan looked at Ning Xianlong, he didn't notice the expressions of Li Hongjun and Liu Yuyan at all.

"Please make it clear." Ning Xianlong had already vaguely guessed that Yuan Chonghuan was going to fight Jinzhou.

"Master Ning, haha, I'm afraid your heart has already run to Jinzhou, right?" Yuan Chonghuan faced Ning Xianlong, and his fingers were almost pointing at his face.

Ning Xianlong remained unmoved, "Please allow the second division to capture Jinzhou." His words were short, powerful, and powerful.

"Okay, let's take a closer look at how to attack Jinzhou." Yuan Chonghuan was also a little excited, he returned to Liaodong, how long has it been, not only Ningyuan, but even Jinzhou has to return to the arms of Daming, "Master Ning, you tell me your thoughts first." ”

"Commander, everyone," Ning Xianlong suppressed his excitement, "Ning is far away from Jinzhou, but it is only two hundred and eighty miles, and the second division all has war horses, if you set off lightly, you can reach Jinzhou in one day." ”

Ning Xianlong saw that everyone didn't speak, and he could just continue his one-man show: "If you set off at noon, you should be able to arrive around noon tomorrow, Jiannu only has 200 people to defend the city, and the second division can conquer Jinzhou in half a day." ”

Yuan Chonghuan said with a smile: "You have more than 10,000 soldiers, if you can't defeat Jinzhou, don't be the commander of this division -- the problem is not Jinzhou, but Guangning, and Yue Tuo, the banner owner of the Red Banner, is in Guangning." ”

Liu Yuyan observed the march map for a while, "Guangning is a little closer to Jinzhou than Ning, if Yue Tuo sends reinforcements, at the speed of the Jiannu cavalry, it should be less than a day to reach Jinzhou." ”

"Therefore, the key to attacking Jinzhou is not Jinzhou, but Quang Ninh. We don't know yet, maybe Quang Ninh has sent reinforcements to Jinzhou, doesn't Yue Tuo know that Ning Yuan has been lost until now? ”

Ning Xianlong nodded silently, he was excited because he received the task just now, and completely ignored Guangning, "Does the military seat mean that heavy troops still want to prevent Guangning's reinforcements?" ”

"Yes, there are only 200 Jiannu in Jinzhou City, even if Yue Tuo's reinforcements have entered Jinzhou, the number will not be too much, and there are no 10,000 soldiers needed to attack the city, the key is to give full play to the advantages of Daming firearms - but the heavy troops still need to pay attention to the reinforcements in the direction of Guangning."

"My subordinates understood." Ning Xianlong hugged his fists and saluted the officers present one by one, "Military seat, my subordinates are ready to leave tomorrow morning and arrive in Jinzhou in the evening." ”

Yuan Chonghuan was stunned for a moment, and then came to his senses: "Are you planning a sneak attack?" ”

Ning Xianlong nodded, he remembered Li Xing's sneak attack on Ning Yuan, although there was no Han army to surrender troops to respond now, but it was easier to sneak attack at night than to attack.

"Okay, I'll let Liu Yuyan reinforce you later, and the third division will set off half a day later, carrying artillery and enough food and grass."
