Chapter 467 After suffering such a big loss, will the Tartars give up?
At this time, the rebel army led by Yuan Anbang, he deliberately waited for the Tartars to launch an attack before he picked up the cheap. If the Tartars could break the city, he wouldn't need to attack. When he was delaying, he suddenly heard the gunfire subside, and Yuan Anbang hurriedly ordered his personal captain: "Go and see if the east gate has been opened." ”
The captain of the pro-soldier hurriedly went.
Yuan Anbang immediately ordered the troops to stop the attack, and all the troops that were originally going to move closer to the city wall retreated. The Tartars have all entered the city, what else is he doing in the city? Just follow the Tartar into the city. If you're fast, you might even be able to pick up some unwanted tarsh.
The captain of the pro-soldier returned in a moment. His face was pale, his breathing was short, his eyes were wide open, as if he had encountered something terrible, and he stammered: "General, general......"
Yuan Anbang said casually: "Have they all entered the city?" ”
The captain of the pro-soldier said breathlessly: "No! All out of town! ”
Yuan Anbang frowned and said, "Could it be that the defenders in the city have surrendered?" Are they ready to accept the surrender of the defenders outside the city? Walk! Let's check it out and join in the fun! ”
The captain of the pro-soldier said incoherently: "No! No! They! They are all lying outside the city! All lying outside the city! ”
Yuan Anbang said a little impatiently: "Who is outside the city?" ”
The captain of the pro-soldier was anxious, and he didn't care about the taboo, so he shouted directly according to the previous name: "Tartar!" It's a tartar! All the Tartars, all lying outside the city! They were all killed! Not a single one alive! Outside the east gate, all of them were Tartars who had been killed! ”
"What?
"What did you say?"
"All the Tartars were killed?"
Yuan Anbang was frightened, and he was stunned for half a minute before he reacted. He hurriedly led his troops to the east of the city. As a result, the sight in front of him frightened him again. If it weren't for the support of his own soldiers, he almost fell off his horse.
I only saw that in the field east of the city, there were corpses everywhere. Some of the corpses belonged to the rebels, and most of the corpses were Tartars. The three Oxen of Tartar all fell in a pool of blood. A tartar that can stand up is not visible. There was blood flowing everywhere. There were weapons scattered all over the place. The smell of blood in the air can suffocate people.
"Quick!"
"Report it!"
"Hurry up and report to the two Belle Lords!"
Yuan Anbang roared hysterically.
I thought that the Tartars would win a big victory, but I didn't expect that the Tartars were wiped out!
Yuan Anbang felt that his stomach was aching.
Three Oxen Tartars!
Three Oxen Tartars!
Three Oxen Tartars!
Not three Tartars, not thirty Tartars, not three hundred Tartars, but three Niulu, a full **100 Tartars! These Tartars were the first to arrive in Dengzhou City, and they were the elite of the Tartar elite. The white flags and inlaid white flags of the Tartars are supported by these tartars.
For the fierceness of these tartars, Yuan Anbang is still very clear. In addition to the fortified city on the Ningjin front, there is also the endless sea, and there is simply no other place to stop the advance of the Tartars. He never imagined that they would be completely annihilated in the inconspicuous county seat of Huang County. It's just incredible.
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Yuan Anbang would never have believed it. Even now, Yuan Anbang thought it was his hallucination. After rubbing his eyes several times in a row, he still saw the tragic situation in front of him, and Yuan Anbang had to believe that all this was indeed true. The three Niulu Tartars were indeed wiped out here.
It's horrible.
It's horrible.
"Isn't there a single one alive?" Yuan Anbang said in shock.
"Not yet." Yuan Anbang's personal captain was also gray, and his voice was even a little trembling. The rest of the soldiers were also terrified.
The defenders of Huang County were so fierce that they couldn't help but be afraid. They are now rebels, and they have taken refuge in the Tartars. To put it mildly, they are traitors. Rats cross the street and everyone shouts and beats, they are traitors, and they are also the targets of everyone's shouting and beating. The more powerful the tartars, the safer they are. The former Tartars were invincible, and the Ming army was not their opponent at all. That's why they took refuge in the Tartars.
The problem is, now there are people who are more powerful than Tartars! The three Niulu Tartars, even in the face of tens of thousands or even tens of thousands of Ming troops, could win in one battle, and as a result, they all died here. Who are the defenders of Huang County? What will be the fate of these rebels in the future? If they were caught by the defenders of Huang County, what fate would await them?
"Squeak quack!"
Just then, the sound of the city gates opening.
Yuan Anbang hurriedly looked up, and just saw that the east gate of Huangxian County suddenly opened, and the defenders rushed out fiercely from inside. With the aftermath of destroying the Tartars, when the Tiger Ben army went out of the city, it moved very fast, and it rushed to the outside of the city gate at once.
"The enemy is out of town!"
"The enemy is out of town!"
"The enemy is out of town!"
Immediately, countless rebels screamed.
Seeing the corpses of Tartars everywhere, Yuan Anbang was horrified in his heart, where did he dare to confront the defenders? With a strange scream, he turned his horse's head and fled. These rebels, if they are caught by the defenders of Huang County, what will happen to them, they can think of it with their heels.
The other rebels were also frightened by the tragic situation in front of them, where did they still have the courage to engage the Tiger Army? With a shout, turn around and run. The North Korean servant army led by Park Dae-sung has long since run away without a shadow. When the guns of the Tiger Ben Army stopped, he took the remaining servant army and slipped back to Dengzhou City with a gust of wind.
"Grass!"
"Really fast!"
"Stop chasing! Can't catch up! Someone else belongs to a rabbit! ”
After the Tiger Army chased it out for a while, it had to stop the pursuit in a huff.
No way, the battlefield is just too muddy, there are pools of blood everywhere, and there are traps everywhere. All the dirt was soaked in blood as if it were a pool of mud. As soon as he stepped on it, the blood soil almost reached the calf. Even if some of the ground is hard, there is so much blood that it becomes slippery, and if you are not careful, you will fall. In case of hitting knives, guns, bows and arrows or something, it will increase casualties in vain.
There was no way, Yang Qianqiang had no choice but to order to stop the pursuit. When he raised the clairvoyant mirror to observe, he found that those rebels had run away to only black spots. He shook his head disdainfully. Whether it's a rebel or a servant army, the speed of escape is just a little too fast. Just this three deflated, still want to attack Huang County?
"Clean up the battlefield!"
"Clean up the body as soon as possible!"
"Collect all your weapons!"
Zhang Zhun came out of the city and shouted to the people around him.
Yang Qianqiang agreed, turned his head and ordered to come down. Immediately, the soldiers of the various battalions of the Tiger Army came to the east gate to help clean up the battlefield. Since it was Yang Qianqiang's sonorous battalion that held the east gate, these Tartars were mainly killed by them. Therefore, the fighters of the other three battalions were extremely envious. They waited in the other three directions for the rebels to attack, but until the Tartars were destroyed, the rebels did not come up. Until the end of the battle, they did not fire a single shot. The depression in my heart can be imagined.
Hao Linyong, Peng Bo, and Yang Hongwen couldn't help but gather around Zhang Zhun. Although they didn't speak, their thoughts were the same. That is, Lord Governor, you can't let the sonorous camp eat meat, let us drink soup! Shouldn't it be rotated as well? So that everyone can enjoy it? When will we be the ones guarding the east gate?
Zhang Zhun naturally understood their thoughts, and said lightly: "I said, if you are a Tartar and suffer such a big loss, what will you do?" ”
Peng Bo said without hesitation: "Of course, I will immediately mobilize a large army and raze this place to the ground." After suffering such a big loss, how can you give up? ”
Zhang Zhun said lightly: "Isn't that the end?" ”
The three of them looked at each other, and in the end they were all eager to try, gearing up, and never mentioning the change of guard again. Yes, the Tartars have suffered such a big loss, it is absolutely impossible to give up, and they will definitely make a comeback.
In the battle just now, the Tartars lost three Niu Lu's troops, which was definitely a huge loss that the Tartars had never had in several years. Whether it is the reputation of the Tartars, or the confidence of the Tartars, it is a heavy blow. The Tartars and the Ming army have been fighting for so many years, and there has never been a precedent for the annihilation of the entire army of the three Niu Lu. In order to salvage their reputation, the Tartars must do whatever it takes to take down Huang County. Otherwise, what awaits them will be a chain reaction of bad things.
It is conceivable that the enraged slave chieftains will definitely launch a fierce attack on Huang County with their whole army, vowing to raze Huang County to the ground. In this way, Huangxian must be surrounded by the army of Tartars. When the time comes, the Tartars will definitely attack from all four directions, and where is the difference between the main attack and the non-main attack?
"The number of cannons in your three directions is not much, and the pressure is even greater!"
Zhang Zhun said in a deep voice.
"Hold on!"
"Don't let the Tartars in!"
"Tartars come and kill as many as they want!"
The three of them hurriedly made a statement.
"It's good to be determined. However, determination does not mean ability. Before the arrival of the Tartars, you must seize all the time to strengthen the walls, inspect your weapons, and stock up on more ammunition. Don't expect me to have reinforcements on hand. If the Tartars besiege the city, not even a single bird will be able to fly out. ”
"With the soldiers of the artillery battalion, you must coordinate well. The battle just now proved that grapeshotfire is very effective against dense enemies at close range. Therefore, if there is a danger in any position, you can ask the artillery battalion to help solve it. You also have to do your best to ensure the safety of the Wyvern Cannon. ”
"It is necessary to mobilize all the soldiers with good marksmanship and take the lead in defeating the elite of the Tartars. Defeating the white-armored soldiers and red-armored soldiers of the Tartars is equivalent to defeating half of the combat effectiveness of the Tartars. In addition, if you can identify the commander of the Tartars, you must kill them first. ”
Zhang Zhun said seductively.
The three of them agreed.
Zhang Zhun called Xu Ziwen and Liu Chenzi, two commanders of the artillery battalion, over to sum up the lessons and lessons on the spot. The Tartar will come back at any moment, and more fierce battles are yet to come, and he must seize every minute of his time to improve the combat effectiveness of his troops. It was too late to convene the experience summing up meeting, and it could only rely on the temporary summing up of various units to discover and solve problems.
In the battle just now, the artillery battalion did play a major role. Both grapeshot and chain bullets caused great damage to the tartars. However, the inadequacy of the artillery battalion is also obvious. The main reason is that the landing point of the shells is not well controlled, and there is a phenomenon of swarming. In other words, some projectiles are actually wasted. If the projectiles can be evenly distributed and control the entire battlefield, then the role of the artillery battalion can be further improved.
"Next, the Tartars may dispatch the Hongyi cannon, what good suggestions do you two have?"
Zhang Zhun asked with a deep face.
"We're not afraid!"
Xu Ziwen and Liu Chenzi said in unison.
"It's not a question of whether you're afraid."
"It's asking you how to deal with the Tartars' cannons."
Zhang Zhun said with a grim face.
"I'll tell you!"
Liu Chenzi said calmly.
"Good!"
Zhang Zhun nodded.
Liu Chenzi introduced it eloquently.
The Hongyi cannon of the Tartars is indeed a sharp weapon for siege. The solid bullets fired by the Hongyi cannon were very destructive to the city wall. The city wall of Huangxian County wants to completely block the Hongyi cannon, which is impossible. It's not difficult to smash a hole in one shot. However, the Hongyi cannon destroyed the city walls, and the impact on the defenders was not very great. The Tiger Ben Army did not rely entirely on the city walls to fight. The point is, the Wyvern Cannon can't be destroyed by the Hongyi Cannon.
In fact, it is unlikely that the Hongyi cannon wants to completely smash the sixteen Wyvern cannons. To destroy the Wyvern Cannon, it is necessary to use solid shells. The number of solid shells, after all, is very small, and it is not easy to accurately hit the Wyvern Cannon. Because, the number of Hongyi cannons in the Tartars will not be very large, and they can be dispatched, about twenty.
The power of the Hongyi cannon is indeed great and the lethality is amazing, but its weakness is also fatal. It's just too heavy, too hard to move. The lightest Hongyi cannons are all more than 4,000 catties, and some even exceed 10,000 catties. Not to mention anything else, just moving from Dengzhou City to Huang County will take at least a day. It was also very difficult to move around the front line. It is not easy to move the artillery position.
To destroy the city walls, the Hongyi cannon must use solid bullets. It seems that a solid bullet the size of a papaya, hitting the city, is still very destructive. If the Tartars want to kill in a large area, they can only use submunitions, that is, grapeshot. But the loss of grape shells to the Wyvern is basically negligible. The Wyvern Cannon is cast of steel, and ordinary marbles hit on it, which has little effect. As for the personnel...... Didn't Zhang Zhun dig a hole in the hiding army?
Considering the reason for the accidental injury of their own people, when the advance of the Tartars approached the city wall, the Hongyi cannon either extended its range or stopped firing. At this time, the soldiers of the artillery battalion can come up from the hiding hole and continue to shoot artillery. A violent grape bomb landed in the middle of the Tartar, just in time to give the Tartar a kick in the face.
"Good!"
"Let's do it first!"
"If there is a better way in the future, continue to improve!"
Zhang Zhun nodded with satisfaction.
The artillery battalion's response was basically the same as the artillery tactics of later generations. With such a method, a small number of flying dragon cannons may be lost, but the safety of personnel is basically guaranteed. As long as there are people and cannons, it will be much more difficult for the Tartars to get close to the walls of Huangxian.
After Xu Ziwen and Liu Chenzi left, Zhang Zhun held a clairglass mirror and looked at the field to the east. At this time, it was already late afternoon, and the night was blank. Gusts of night breeze blow from the seaside, blowing away the scorching heat of the day and the suffocating smell of blood. About 100 miles east of Huangxian County is Dengzhou City. I wonder what kind of reaction will the supposedly resourceful Dolgon have when he receives the news that the three Niu Lu have been wiped out?
"Come on!"
Zhang Zhun stretched his waist fiercely, and then rubbed his temples. In the battle with the Tartars, he got off to a good start, and Zhang Zhun still felt very excited. It's just that the next battle will be even more difficult, and of course he doesn't dare to take it lightly. However, Zhang Zhun is also full of confidence in the upcoming battle. No matter how many people come from Tartar, he will follow in Huangxian!
"Yellow String!"
Zhang Zhun suddenly shouted.
"Here!"
Huang Xian, who was quietly slipping past Zhang Zhun, hurriedly stood upright.
Zhang Zhun looked at him with a straight face, his eyes shining, and his face was serious.
Huang Xian suddenly felt a little weak, and he didn't know where he had done something wrong.
Fortunately, Zhang Zhun suddenly showed his face, nodded with a smile, and praised: "Good job." ”
Huang Xian breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly said, "Thank you, Lord for the compliment!" ”
He hurriedly turned around and went.
Zhang Zhun shook his head, this yellow string...... Can you shoot two shots in the next battle?
"Liu Mang!"
"Brother Wei!"
Zhang Zhun suddenly shouted.
"Here!"
"Here!"
Liu Mang and Brother Wei, who were also sneakily trying to sneak past Zhang Zhun quietly, hurriedly stood up and saluted.
"Liu Mang, how many Tartars have you killed?"
Zhang Zhun asked casually.
"Killed three white-armored soldiers, two red-armored soldiers, and three other Tartars."
Liu Mang hurriedly said.
"Where's Brother Wei?"
Zhang Zhun nodded, and then asked again.
"One more red-armored soldier than Liu Mang."
Brother Wei replied with a smile.
Zhang Zhun turned his head to look at Liu Mang, his eyes were a little strange.
Liu Mang suddenly became unnatural, and his face, which was not old and decrepit, rarely turned red.
Brother Wei explained with a smile next to him: "He missed the first shot, so he made up for it." ”
Liu Mang's expression was even more unnatural. If there was a hole in the ground, he would not hesitate to drill into it and never come out again. It's a shame, it's a shame. After the battle, after a calculation, he found that he actually had one less result than Brother Wei, and he almost had to dig a hole in the ground to bury himself. It's okay to be less than anyone, but it can't be less than Brother Wei! What is this called? Now that even Zhang Zhun knows about it, it's even more embarrassing to throw it to his grandmother's house.
