Chapter Eighty-Seven: Making a Special Weapon
This time, he brought a Jiala with a red flag, a Jiala with a blue flag, a Jiala with a white flag, a Jiala with a blue flag, 3,000 Mongolian people from the Eight Banners, 3,500 people from Wuzhenchaoha of the Han army, and 3,000 troops from the Ming army, a total of more than 15,000 people to attack Zhuozhou. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe reason why he wanted to bring so many troops to attack Zhuozhou was that he wanted to use the power of the army to make the officials of Zhuozhou afraid, so as to achieve the goal of going down to Zhuozhou without a fight.
I don't want to, but Alatan Ula came to a first battle rout, which frustrated the spirit of the Qing army, and at this time, Yanguli gritted his teeth with hatred, and really wanted to push this incompetent guy out and cut it down.
Many of the middle and high-ranking generals of the Qing army, such as Niu Lu Zhangjing, Jia Lazhang Jing, and Gushan Ezhen, were also quietly watching Yanguli to see what he did with Alatanula, and at the same time they also wondered how he was defeated by the Ming army in the city.
The atmosphere in the big tent was very oppressive and dreary, and under the pressure of Yanguli, everyone did not even dare to gasp loudly.
After staring at Alatan Ula for a while, considering that this person had something to do with the king of the Ao Han tribe, Yang Guli decided to spare his life.
After Huang Taiji became emperor, in order to win over the Mongols, he awarded fourteen Mongolian nobles the title of Manchuria, and the king of the Gulun Forehead Bandi Doro County of the Ao Han Department was one of them, and Alatan Ula was a person from the Ao Han Department.
Yanguli asked with a cold face, "Alatanula, how did you get defeated?" You explain the process to Benjue, and you must not hide it in the slightest. ”
"Wow." Alatan Ullah agreed, and told all the details of the battle.
After listening to his story, the generals of the Qing army talked a lot, some said that the Ming army in the city was too cunning, some said that Alatan Ula was too stupid, and some jumped to their feet and shouted to take revenge.
"Silence." Yanguli shouted loudly, and immediately the tent was silent.
Looking at Alatan Ullah with a cold gaze, Yanguli asked, "How many people are left of one of your Khala?" ”
"That's it...... There's only one left...... The cow recorded ......," Alatan Ullah said, slurring.
"What?" Hearing this number, Yanguli was taken aback.
He said sharply: "Alatan Ula lightly damaged my soldiers in the enemy, pulled out and beat a hundred military sticks, and reduced it from Jialazhangjing to Bashiku. Tomorrow, send 6,000 troops to attack Zhuozhou, Wuzhenchao Haang Bangzhang Jingma Guangyuan's artillery is responsible for covering, I don't believe that I can't take a small Zhuozhou city. ”
"Wow." The generals bowed and agreed.
After winning the battle, the atmosphere in the city was very lively, and Zhizhou Fan Jin brought the state officials and squires, as well as some ordinary people to ****. Looking at the large number of Tartar corpses on the city wall, and more than 200 bound Tartar followers, everyone's smiling eyes were invisible.
Fan Jin walked over, grabbed Zhao Guohua's hand, and said excitedly: "Captain Zhao, with you in Zhuozhou, I don't have to worry about the Tartars attacking me anymore." ”
"Captain Zhao, you are really amazing, if you hadn't come up with a strategy to lure the enemy into gathering deep and annihilating him, and put the Tartars up to fight, we wouldn't have been able to destroy so many Tartars at all, and now I'm convinced of you." Garrison Li Xian said, and smiled sincerely at Zhao Guohua.
To be honest, he was a little wary of Zhao Guohua's plan at first, he thought it was too risky
In his impression, as long as many people on the attacking side went up to the city wall, it meant that the city was lost, and he would never have thought that there was such a way of playing as Zhao Guohua.
But if you think about it, this method is risky, but it is also very profitable.
The more he thought about it, the more he admired Zhao Guohua.
Listening to what Li Xian said, looking at the corpses of the Tartars all over the city wall, Hu Dabiao was also surprised, he was surprised that Zhao Guohua actually dared to put the Tartars up to fight
"With so many Tartars dead, I'm afraid the casualties of Zhao Guohua's volunteers and officers are not small." Thinking of this, he asked with a sneer: "Captain Zhao, Tartar has been killed so many people, I don't know how many casualties have been suffered on our side?" ”
Glancing at him, Zhao Guohua did not speak.
"Oh, it's me who is too talkative, it's time to fight! It's time to fight! Please also ask Captain Zhao not to be sad. Hu Dabiao hurriedly smiled and said with fake comfort.
He happily thought that the Volunteers must have suffered heavy casualties, so he looked like this.
"How can there be immortals in a war, Captain Zhao, please don't be sad," Zhizhou Fan Jin comforted.
Glancing at everyone, Zhao Guohua said: "Now I would like to inform you of the situation of this fierce battle, in this battle we killed 885 Tartars, including 70 Tartar white-armored soldiers, and captured 220 Tartar auxiliaries, and won the first victory in the defense of Zhuozhou. ”
"Ahh Yes! Yes! We won. The soldiers cheered.
After the soldiers cheered, Zhao Guohua said: "In this battle, although we have won the battle, but we have also paid the price, six brothers of our volunteer team have been killed, fifteen brothers were wounded, from this point of view, the combat power of the Tartars is indeed not to be underestimated, now, let us go to the last look at the brothers who died in the battle, farewell to them." ”
After speaking, he took the lead and walked to the six bodies covered with white cloths, uncovered the white cloths, and looked at the five volunteers who died in the battle one by one, all of them were killed by the heavy arrows of the white armor soldiers, three in the forehead, one in the chest, and one in the throat
Zhizhou Fan Jin and garrison Li Xian looked at it in order, then the officers of the Volunteer Brigade, then the soldiers, and the soldiers of the Ming Army also lined up to say goodbye with admiration for the Volunteer Brigade.
"Take off your hat and bow!" Zhao Guohua said, first took off the hat, and everyone also took off the hat and helmet......
After bowing three times, Zhao Guohua said, "Six brothers, I hope that your spirit in the sky will protect us, and when we defeat the Tartars, we will take you home." After saying that, with a wave of his hand, the volunteers carried the six bodies and burned them.
The military situation was urgent, Zhao Guohua did not dare to delay, and after handling the aftermath of the six team members, he ordered everyone to pull in the shield cart left by the Tartars outside the city, dismantle it, and use it as materials for defending the city.
In order to prevent accidents, the four city gates were blocked, and the stone steps of the upper and lower city walls were demolished, and the stone steps were changed to wooden ladders, and the upper and lower city walls could only rely on dozens of wooden ladders, and the wooden ladders were also brushed with tung oil and sulfur.
"Captain Zhao, what's the use of this?" Li Xian looked at the wooden ladder and asked puzzled.
Looking at him, Zhao Guohua said with a smile: "I'm prepared, once the Tartars come too much and we can't hold it, we will give up the city wall and destroy the enemy on the city wall again." ”
"I see." Li Xian nodded
After thinking about it, Zhao Guohua said: "I still have to find a blacksmith to make a batch of triangular nails in case of emergency." ”
"Triangular nails?" Li Xian heard the name and asked curiously, "What is the triangular nail and what is it for?" ”
Smiling slightly, Zhao Guohua said: "This is a kind of thing to deal with cavalry, you will know it later." ”
"I'll take you to see. Whoever has the best blacksmith's craft, I know. Li Xian said.
Zhao Guohua nodded and said, "Okay." Let's go to the blacksmith. ”
Follow Li Xian all the way, due to today's defeat of the Tartars, everyone is full of gratitude to the volunteers and the officers and soldiers, and they have greeted the two, some shop owners also invite the two to go in to drink tea, and some vendors are shoehorning eggs, fruits and other things into their people's enthusiasm Zhao Guohua is still calm, Li Xian is already happy as if he picked up a big gold ingot, came to Zhuozhou for two or three years, today is the most enthusiastic day for the people to him.
"It's a good taste to win." Li Xian said with a smile on his face.
"yes." Zhao Guohua smiled and nodded.
After walking for a while, I came to a shop of forty or fifty square meters, in which there were six or seven muscular strong men banging on ironware, and on the wall hung kitchen knives, axes, hoes, waist knives, sickles and other ironware
"Zhang Xiaowu, what are you busy with? What about your master? Li Xiancai stepped into one foot and asked loudly.
A strong man in his thirties with a dark complexion and sweat in the crowd looked back and saw that it was Li Xian, who was guarding, and hurriedly ran over with a smile on his face, knelt on the ground and kowtowed, and said, "The villain Zhang Xiaowu has seen Master Li." ”
"Get up and speak! Get up and speak! Li Xian smiled and pulled him up
Zhang Xiaowu stood up, hurried to two cups of so-called good tea in the blacksmith shop, and served them to the two of them, then asked with a polite smile: "I don't know what Lord Li is looking for my master?" ”
Glancing at him, Li Xian smiled and said, "Find your master to talk about business." ”
Hearing that the garrison was going to talk to the master about business, Zhang Xiaowu knew that there was a big business coming to the door, and he said happily, "Okay!" Good! I'll go to the backyard and ask him to come out. With that, he ran into the backyard.
"Master Li, I haven't seen you for a long time, I really miss you, hahahaha......" With a burst of hearty laughter, a man in his fifties, with gray hair but a sturdy body, strode out.
Walking in front of Li Xian, he said with a smile: "The little old son and grandson have seen Master Li", said and bowed to give a salute, Li Xian waited for him to give a salute, and then said with a smile: "Old grandson, come on, let me introduce you, this is the captain of the Ji'an Volunteer Brigade, and the Tartars who came to attack Zhuozhou were defeated by them and us." ”
"Oops, it turned out to be Captain Zhao, disrespectful and disrespectful." Sun Youde's bowing is another big gift.
Zhao Guohua smiled and said, "Master Sun is polite, this is what we should do." ”
After a while, everyone sat down again. Sun Youde is a citizen and sits at the bottom, and Li Xian and Zhao Guohua are officials and sits on both sides of the table. Glancing at the two of them, Sun Youde asked with a smile: "I heard the apprentice just now say that Master Li wants to talk to me about a business, I don't know what kind of business it is?" ”
