350, half a roll of red flags in the blood river (3)
In order to prevent long nights and dreams, Yu Guozhen and Yanguli made almost the same choice, on the one hand, they were worried that Azig would kill him, and on the other hand, they were worried that Gao Qiqian, Zhang Fengyi, Liang Tingdong and others would pick up the bargain, and both sides decided to use the other party's coach as the target of the decisive battle.
Yanguli made this choice because he had enough confidence in his Eight Banners Army. He still had seven Niulu in his hands and nearly 3,000 people could be directly used, in addition to leaving two Niulu to protect himself, he sent the remaining five Niulu more than 2,000 people directly out, and rushed towards the hill where Yu Guozhen was located from the left flank of the battlefield.
In addition to these two thousand people, his eldest son Ahadan also took the two rebellious soldiers who had gathered nearly 800 people, and went around to the hill, preparing to flank Yu Guozhen.
Yu Guozhen made such a choice also because he had enough confidence in his troops.
Before the Lengkou Pass, the teaching regiment may have made such and such mistakes, but they have withstood several attacks by enemy troops two or three times their size, and they are fighting better and better, which makes Yu Guozhen and the guards convinced that they are worthy of the name of the strongest army in the world, and they have the qualifications and ability to be more wild and unrestrained.
This is a rare battle in which Yu Guozhen's command of troops is not much worse than the other side, before the opponent's reinforcements rush back, quickly end the battle, and then rely on Lengkou Pass to build a defensive line to prevent the main force of Jianyu from coming back again to take away the people, which is the fundamental reason why Yu Guozhen is eager for a decisive battle.
Tian Boguang ordered all the men and horses, and sent people to summon back the Denglai soldiers who had just been sent to feign an attack, these Denglai soldiers just fired a few shots indiscriminately, and then returned to the mountain, all of them were quite insufficient: after all, it was the first time they had encountered a battle like this!
"You are here to protect your son, and if necessary, fill in your surname." The military situation was urgent, and Tian Boguang didn't have time to say much to them, but pointed to Yu Guozhen's military flag and said: "I'll go and capture Yanguli and let this old thief dance for you to see!" ”
After saying that, he led his men from the right flank of the battlefield and began to rush towards the hill where Yanguli was!
The two sides fought across the official road, and whoever wanted to attack the other had to pass through the official road that was crowded with panicked people.
When Tian Boguang passed by, his heart suddenly moved, these people, if they use it well, are also a force!
But before he could think about how to use these people, he saw that on the top of the mountain, the yellow banner of the leader of the Jianyu began to move!
"Huh!"
One of the characteristics of Yanguli's fighting is that he loves to take the lead, and after the persuasion of Nurhachi and Huang Taiji, this habit has not changed slightly. At this time of the decisive battle, he personally went into battle and moved his own formation from the mountain to the front line!
At the same time, fierce gunfire rang out.
Zhang Zheng went north this time, and the number of Huwei B muskets carried was extremely large, with 10,000 guns. It's not that he was prescient, but Yu Guozhen wanted to use Huwei Yi to equip the Denglai army, this force was in Sun Lin's hands, it can be said that he was a force to break into the Ming court, he was ready to send all the training instructors, and all the backbone of this army would become pro-Xinxiang, and if necessary, he could pull it away at any time!
With such a force in Shandong's east, it will be an excellent first step for Yu Guozhen's layout.
Therefore, even the Denglai soldiers also had two muskets in their hands.
However, they are poorly trained, and they do not yet have the combat qualities of the tiger guards, and often start shooting before they have entered the effective firing range, and such lethality is naturally affected. Yanguli keenly noticed this, so he regarded this as the weak point of this Ming army, and ordered the Eight Banners in his hand to storm it.
The sound of shouting and killing, the sound of bowstrings, and the sound of muskets suddenly became heard.
Gao Qiqian, Cui Bingde and others heard a sudden loud voice in the distance, suppressing the sound of fierce battle under the city, and couldn't help but raise their eyes to look several miles away.
They were located on a high place, and it would not have been a problem to see a few miles away, but one consequence of the heavy use of muskets by the Tiger Guard was that the battlefield was extremely smoky, both caused by gunpowder smoke and dead leaves and rotten branches drawn by musket fire. Therefore, they didn't see it very really, but they found that the Jianzheng Yellow Banner on the top of the mountain had descended to the mountainside, and it seemed that it was forcing towards the fiery red battle flag.
"A decisive battle?"
There are managers on both sides, and when a manager meets a manager, there will be nothing else but a decisive battle.
"This ......" raised his eyes and began to roll around.
Yanguli's judgment of him was very accurate, this eunuch had accepted bribes from Jianyu, and there had been all kinds of ugly deeds before, so he would rather the "Ming army" under the city be defeated. But at the same time, he also understood that if the Ming army under the city won and he gained nothing, then even Chongzhen might not be able to protect him.
After all, the matter of the Son of Heaven sending too much to supervise the army originally aroused a voice of opposition among civil and military officials, which gave them a grip, maybe Zhang Fengyi and Liang Tingdong seized this opportunity and pushed him out as scapegoats!
He blinked his little eyes in the city, looked left and right, he knew his own family affairs, Emperor Chongzhen thought he knew the soldiers, but in fact, he only knew how to escape.
I had to find someone who really knew the soldiers to ask, and he immediately saw Cui Bingde.
This person has the courage to fight with Jianlu, ask his opinion, if he is lying and deceiving, he will naturally be able to distinguish it.
"General Cui, what is the current situation?"
"It was originally a situation of all-out offensive by Jianyu, but now it has changed." Cui Bingde really knew about the war, he first pointed to the city: "This is a key, if you hold this place, you will not be able to get out of the customs, let alone use artillery to break the opponent's firearms." At the beginning, Jianyu attacked here, and now although it seems that he is still attacking, he has actually entered a stalemate, and the side with firearms has an advantage! ”
This is natural, it does not take much effort to pull the trigger with a musket, but it takes a lot of effort to contend with a bow and arrow. A marksman can draw the bow a limited number of times in a short period of time, and even if he doesn't have exhaustion, he will be strained by his muscles and bones.
"At the other end of the two bosses, if this place is the place of victory and defeat, that side is the point of life and death. Seeing that the situation on this side was not good, the chieftain of Jiannu started fighting there, wanting to kill or defeat the commander of our army, so as to obtain a decisive victory, even if there were more casualties, he was not afraid. Prison army, this is actually a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, as long as we open the city and get out of the pass, we can help this group of soldiers under the city defeat the opponent in the shortest possible time, and then go to flank the slave chieftain, this battle will be a complete victory! ”
"You just know how to say it in the best!" Gao Qiqian snorted, his gaze wandering, on the one hand, he was extremely eager for the credit of the big victory, and on the other hand, he was extremely unconfident.
At this time, the Ming army was really broken by Jianlu, although it was not to the extreme, and later Jianyu went south, and many local Ming officers and soldiers would even rather jump off the city and commit suicide than dare to die in a head-on confrontation with Jianlu!
Is it a battle out of the customs...... Or not?
Gao Qi thought about it, and then shouted: "First order to go down, close the pass, and don't let the Jianyu who is out of the plug have a chance to turn back and fight back!" ”
Cui Bingde was stunned for a moment, turned his head, and looked at Gao Qiqian.
Gao Qiqian raised his eyebrows: "What do you see, if it weren't for the unfighting spirit of you generals, wouldn't our family know that if you win the battle and cut off more Jianlu's head, you can be promoted and make a fortune?" Our family can't rise, but we don't want to get rich? ”
Hearing this, Cui Bingde immediately issued an order and ordered the soldiers to go north along the Great Wall to close the pass of Lengkou Pass.
"Let's solve the worries of the soldiers in this city first." Gao Qi said solemnly: "Cheer up our family, so that we can defend!" ”
Of course, it was to defend with his eyes, and he added another sentence in his heart.
At this moment, they saw a troop of soldiers and horses, galloping from the hill, the leader was a military general dressed in a red coat, wearing the general uniform of the Ming Dynasty, the banner behind him was flying, the bow in his hand, riding on the horse left and right to open the bow, in a blink of an eye, four arrows flew out, and the four Jianyu suddenly fell off the horse!
The man raised his voice and shouted: "Denglai's chief soldier Sun Lin Sun Kexian is here, who dares to fight with me?" ”
The Denglai soldiers who followed him suddenly sweated profusely, did this chief military officer watch too much "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", thinking that there was really a thing on the battlefield where the two armies faced each other against the main general?
Among the captives, there was a general who was really not angry, and came out on horseback, looking like a bull Lu Ezhen: "Minggou, I'll take your first ......"
"Knock him down with a musket." Sun Lin said to the people around him.
Suddenly, there was a gunshot rang out, and the Jianyu was blasted off his horse, and he died before he could hit the ground. Sun Lin stepped forward and shouted again: "Sun Lin, the chief soldier of Denglai, is here, who dares to come out and fight with me?" ”
Meng Wei felt that there was more sweat on his forehead, and this Sun Zongbing's style of acting was really ...... It's eclectic.
Sun Lin saw that the people around him were looking at him strangely, and said calmly: "This is learned from Yu Jimin, don't look at his serious appearance, the most bad stomach...... Oh, there's another one over there, and it's him! ”
"Bang!"
He led 2,000 men to rush forward, and in addition to the equipment in his hands, there were not many armors without the double armor of the tiger guard, and there were a lot of inlaid armor and enamel helmets, so everywhere he went, it was also easy for thousands of troops, and in the blink of an eye, he advanced to a place less than a mile away from Lengkou Pass.
"How?" Sun Lin looked back and saw that Meng Wei had followed him with only his feet, and couldn't help laughing: "It's finally useful to run from Shan'dong Denglai to this Gyeonggi, right?" ”
"That's, that's, the chief officer is wise and martial, and the villain is respectful!"
After all, this group of Denglai soldiers was born in Bingyouzi, even if they are now infected by the momentum of the Tiger Guard, they have become heroic, but there is always a bit of ruffianism on their bodies. Meng Wei replied while gasping for breath, and at the same time hurriedly reloaded the musket in his hand.
In fact, along the way, the resistance they encountered was scattered and scattered, and they were often scattered by a row of muskets, and even a few of them burst in front of them, and they could not stand up to their two thousand people rushing up. Their own casualties were also similar to those of Jianjiao, two thousand people lost a hundred people, but at this time, everyone was in high spirits, and the casualties of just 100 people, everyone didn't care!
"Yu Jimin's tiger guard is powerful and the north and south are directly recorded, and now I say that my Sun Kexian Denglai soldiers must not lag behind." Sun Lin pointed ahead, less than a mile away from Zhang Zheng: "Go, go with them!" ”
As soon as the words fell, he heard a thunderous roar.
It was Tan Tai, after barely bandaging the wounds on his body, he regathered the remnants of the army, and finally gathered two Niu Lu nearly 800 people, at this time, seeing that a group of Ming officers and soldiers also dared to show off their might, they suddenly exploded their lungs, and roared angrily to lead the troops to kill them.
Sun Lin was not afraid at all, he still had the power to shoot, so he bent his bow and arrows immediately, and Tan Tai over there also pulled the string with the bow in his hand at the same time, and the two were about 100 steps apart, and then loosened the string at the same time!
