Chapter 610 Piecemeal is also a performance

Turkun, Mobali and others, what gods and goddesses are there to protect the Tiger Ben Army? Actually easily cleaned up the ten most vigorous warriors of the Golden Kingdom? There won't be any demons and monsters hidden in this Dongjiabao, right? The Manchurians believed in shamans, and when they encountered problems that could not be solved, they would pray to the shamans. Naturally, it is also believed that the enemy is also a believer in the gods and is also blessed by the gods.

Azig's face was distorted, and his eyes were staring at everything in front of him like a wolf. Ten Tartars who went to tease Zhang Zhun were all killed, which really surprised Azig. However, Azig is Azig after all, and the death of a few people is completely negligible for him. He is the banner master of the Red Flag, as long as Zhang Zhun is indeed here, he can afford to die no matter how many people die. As long as Zhang Zhun is killed, Huang Taiji's side will have some compensation.

However, the facts in front of me have proved that this Zhang Zhun is really a difficult bone to gnaw. No wonder even Dorgon, who has always been extremely shrewd, suffers from him. If you want to take Zhang Zhun down with a charge, it seems that it is not feasible. There is no doubt that the Tiger Army's firearms are very powerful, and if they go head-to-head, it will be a little difficult for the Dajin Army to take Dongjiabao. What better way?

The ten cavalrymen of the Dajin Army who went up to provoke were all dressed in thin light armor and thick silk underwear. This kind of protection is quite effective for general firearms. Even firearms such as the three-eyed guns used by the Liaodong cavalry, as long as they are not fired within a distance of ten zhang, light armor and silk underwear can remove a considerable part of the damage. Many warriors of the Dajin Army have the experience of being hit by the three-eyed gun, but they survived.

The problem is that the Tiger Army's firecrackers seem to be much more powerful than the Three-Eyed Guns. At such a distance, he was able to kill the warriors of the Dajin Kingdom with one shot. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed it. He couldn't help but think of the seven Great Golden Army warriors who had been killed before, and the small wounds on their bodies. Just such a small opening can kill people, and the fire gun of the Tiger Ben Army is indeed vicious! The Tiger Army's firearms are so powerful, he really has to be a little cautious.

"Maubali."

Azig shouted viciously.

"What do you command?"

Maubali hurriedly rode over and asked.

"Send someone to scout the surroundings and figure out what's going on."

Azig said with a gloomy face.

"Yes!"

Maubali agreed.

"Dobi!"

Azig shouted again.

"What do you command?"

Jialazhangjing, who was called Duobi, hurried over.

"Choose a place and set up camp."

Azig said smugly.

"Yes!"

Duobi agreed.

Until Zhang Zhun is clarified, Azig will not rashly launch an attack. Azig still understands the basic military knowledge, otherwise, he would have been played to death by the Han officers. The words of knowing oneself and knowing that the other side will win all battles, Azig may not know. But he is well aware that before hunting, it is necessary to have a full understanding of the prey. If you kill a rabbit and kill a bear, that's a very dangerous thing.

In fact, knowing that Zhang Zhun was indeed in Dongjiabao, Azig was not in a hurry. In his opinion, Dongjiabao has been surrounded on all sides, and Zhang Zhun can't escape at all. He had the feeling of flirting with his opponents. He will slowly torture his opponent to death. If it weren't for that, I wouldn't be able to vent the hatred in my heart. In the past half a year, the whole Dajin Kingdom has hated Zhang Zhun to the core, and they can't wait to crush him to ashes, cut his skin and bones.

The Tartars of Zhenghongqi began to set up camp about ten miles west of Dongjiabao. This distance is the maximum range of the Hongyi cannon. Duobi was not worried that there were Hongyi cannons in Dongjiabao, but habitual movements. After all, Nurhachi died under the bombardment of Hongyi artillery, and the other Tartars did not want to repeat the mistakes of the past. The longest range of the Hongyi cannon is about ten miles, and as long as it exceeds this range, the barracks are basically safe.

When the Tartars were encamped, Azig rode a war horse alone, patrolling back and forth to the west of Dongjiabao. He carefully observed that if he wanted to attack Dongjiabao, where to choose a breakthrough point, and what special siege equipment was needed. Every time the Dajin army entered the city, it would not carry siege equipment, and all of them were made on an improvised basis.

"Mu Shu!"

"Buddha Bao!"

"Nahantai!"

Azig shouted.

The three Niu Lu Zhangjing hurriedly came to Azig.

Azig said with a murderous face: "You go to the surrounding Hangou county town and grab some timber and craftsmen to come back." Also, grab some young women back. Also, arrest all the local Hangou officials. ”

The three Niu Lu Zhang Jing agreed to go.

After a while, the three Niulu's Tartars urged the war horses to rush towards the surrounding counties of Cangzhou, Nanpi, and Yanshan.

"My lord, the Tartars are encamped, probably trying to fight a protracted war with us."

At the head of Dongjiabao, Yang Zhiyuan said to Zhang Zhun.

"This Azig is not exactly a rough man."

Zhang Zhun said thoughtfully.

He originally thought that with Azig's brave and unscrupulous character, he would definitely rush forward as soon as possible. The Tiger Army is fully prepared to give him a blow to the head. Unexpectedly, this guy actually began to set up camp and prepared to fight steadily. It seems that the battle of Dongjiabao will last for a long time. Since Azig has put his mind into it, even if the battle is lost, more reinforcements will be summoned. If Huang Taiji knew that he was here, maybe he would have rushed here.

The purpose of attracting the Tartars has been successfully accomplished. Now, what to do is how to annihilate the living force of the Tartars as much as possible, and at the same time let the Tartars have no distractions, only knowing how to attack Dongjiabao, but forgetting other more important things.

"Zhong Wuying!"

"Liu Jixiang!"

Zhang Zhun shouted in a deep voice.

"Here!"

"Here!"

The two hurriedly came to Zhang Zhun's face.

Zhang Zhun glanced at the two of them and said slowly: "It is estimated that the Tartar scouts are testing the movements of Dongjiabao in many ways, and you have selected capable personnel to deal with the Tartar scouts. Being able to kill one is one. Be careful not to stay within a mile of the barracks, lest you be taken advantage of by the Tartars. ”

After a pause, Zhang Zhun said cautiously: "The Tartar scouts definitely want to catch our tongues, so remind the troops to be careful and never act alone." A minimum of five people should be in a group. The team leader must select the most elite officers to serve as the team. ”

Zhong Wuying and Liu Jixiang both agreed and went excitedly.

Although Zhang Zhun's command sounded like a small fight and nothing stimulating, it was good to move the body. With the current strength of the cavalry of the Tiger Ben Army, it is indeed not qualified to fight a large-scale field battle with the Tartars, and for the time being, it can only be fought piecemeal, and one by one can be killed. The Tartar scouts wanted to catch the tongue of the Tiger Army, and the Tiger Army just happened to have a plan to kill them first.

Soon, the two gathered their respective troops and conveyed Zhang Zhun's order. According to Zhang Zhun's orders, the camp of the Tiger Cavalry Battalion was south of the military camp. The Leopard Cavalry Battalion is stationed, north of the barracks. There is a road in between. In doing so, it is actually the meaning of competition. Competition exists everywhere within the Tiger Army, which is also the main reason why officers at all levels of the Tiger Army do not dare to relax. If you're not careful, you'll be a laggard.

"Your mission is to catch the Tartar scouts! Catch one is one! ”

"Attention! Don't leave within a mile of Dong's house! So as not to fall into the encirclement of the Tartars! In view of the special circumstances, I give you special powers, and if any of you falls into the hands of the Tartars, the other companions have the right to beat him to death! ”

Both men repeated the latter sentence to be sure that everyone would be able to receive it. Zhang Zhun's purpose is to beat the Tartars piecemeal, not to be beaten by the Tartars piecemeal. It doesn't matter if you're dead, the key is that the tiger can't fall into the hands of the Tartars. Otherwise, if the Tartars copied the Tiger Ben Gun, and combined with the Hongyi cannon that the Tartars already had, it would be much more difficult to fight in the future.

In the tiger cavalry battalion commanded by Zhong Wuying, the soldiers were eager to try. They came to Dongjiabao after the leopard riding camp, and as a result, all the good things were fished away by the people of the leopard riding camp. After they arrived, they could only say that they drank a little soup at most, and they couldn't eat enough at all. This time, they all secretly swore that the Tiger Cavalry must not lose to the Leopard Cavalry.

"Wang Xiaoniu!"

"You're in charge of the Six-B region!"

Zhong Wuying began to arrange manpower, and the first person to accept the task was Wang Xiaoniu.

After a period of training, Wang Xiaoniu is now the deputy of the Tiger Riding Battalion, and his performance in all aspects has made Zhong Wuying feel satisfied. When I went on a mission, the first thing that came to mind was him.

After accepting the task, Wang Xiaoniu immediately determined the location of the task he was going to perform. Brigadier General Zhang divided the surroundings of Dongjiabao into pieces and gave them numbers, and it was much easier to find them. The area he was responsible for was south of Dongjiabao. The depth is about 100 zhang, and the length is fan-shaped, the shortest is only 20 zhang, and the longest is hundreds of zhang.

According to Zhong Wuying's instructions, Wang Xiaoniu selected four of the best tiger cavalry to form a temporary battle group, and then quietly set off. If there are too many people, the Tartar scouts won't come close. If the number of people is too small, it will not work, and they will not be able to kill each other. The scouts of the Tartars are usually in groups of five, and the Tiger Army is also a group of five. Five to five, there should still be a certain certainty.

"Squeak quack!"

The fence gate of the barracks slowly opened, and Wang Xiaoniu quietly went out of the city with his own combat team. The scattered snowflakes have stopped, and the climate is still cold. The north wind blew from time to time, blowing everyone's neck, and it was cold.

Because of the needs of the war, it is impossible to wear too many cotton clothes and the like in the military uniform of the Tiger Ben Army, otherwise, the body will be very bloated. If the body is very bloated, it will affect the flexibility of movement. The flexibility of the movement is affected, and the combat effectiveness is also affected. Operate the Tiger Ben Gun requires flexible movements. This is also the main reason why the Tiger Army has not been equipped with armor. No one wants to be overburdened.

Especially for cavalry, weight is important. The more you wear, the heavier your body will be, the heavier the burden on the war horse under your crotch, and the speed and agility of your run will decrease. For cavalry, this is definitely not a good thing. Being slow means you can't outrun the enemy, which is extremely dangerous.

Therefore, each cavalryman will reduce his weight as much as possible in order to reduce the burden on the war horse. It seems that Wang Xiaoniu's body, in addition to the necessary weapons and equipment, only has a military uniform and a close-fitting padded jacket. The other Tiger Ben soldiers are basically the same.

With snowflakes fluttering and cold winds blowing, fighting in such weather is indeed an uncomfortable thing. However, fighting against the Tartars, no one complained. On the contrary, there is a faint feeling of boiling in their blood. Your Tartar, dare to come to our land to make trouble, and if you don't kill you, I don't know that Lord Ma has three eyes.

"This is it."

After finding the area where they were responsible for guarding, Wang Xiaoniu and the others slowed down their horses, looked around vigilantly, and quietly waited for the scouts of the Tartars to appear.

As the vice president of the team, Wang Xiaoniu is already qualified to be equipped with a clairvoyant mirror. He was in the middle of the battle group, holding a clairvoyant mirror to take a closer look around. The surroundings are quiet, the view is very good, as long as there are Tartars, they will definitely be the first to spot.

Sure enough, a little later, in the northwest, a black spot appeared, then two, three...... The black dots slowly turned into black figures. Immediately after, the sound of horses' hooves gradually came. Tartars! The scouts of the Tartars appeared. Soon, five Tartar scouts appeared near Wang Xiaoniu and them. Five to five, not wrong at all.

"Bang!"

Wang Xiaoniu was the first to shoot.

One of the Tartar scouts at the head shook his body and fell off his horse.

The other four Tartars immediately separated quickly and flanked Wang Xiaoniu from different angles. Their movements were so flexible that the Tiger Cavalry did not have a chance to shoot.

The tiger cavalry around Wang Xiaoniu was about to shoot, but found that the Tartar's movements were very erratic and could not be hit at all. So, they immediately released the tight trigger. However, the muzzle of his gun still chased the figure of the Tartar to the death. Whenever they had the chance, they would shoot immediately.

"Da Da Da!"

The sound of horses' hooves is very erratic, up and down, fast and slow, messy.

The four Tartar scouts, in a complex curve, tried to slowly approach the king calf and them. They certainly didn't dare to go in a straight line. If you go in a straight line, you can easily get hit by the firebolt. However, if they are hunched, it will take a lot of time.

Seizing this opportunity, Wang Xiaoniu quickly reloaded, and then aimed at one of the Tartar scouts. The Tartar scout looked a little erratic, and Wang Xiaoniu felt that he should be able to judge his next move.

"Bang!"

Wang Xiaoniu shot decisively.

Unfortunately, it missed.

That Tartar scout is cunning. I don't know if I felt something, and suddenly accelerated. As a result, the Mini bullet shot by Wang Xiaoniu passed behind this guy. The riding skills of these Tartar scouts are indeed not covered, they are completely arbitrary, the men and horses are one, and there is no need for any gestures at all, and the war horses under the crotch can make amazing movements. They are fast and slow, fast and slow, and it is really difficult to predict their next move.

"Bang!"

Another Tiger Cavalry also fired.

It's a pity that it also missed, and the Mini bullet didn't know where it flew.

Fortunately, two gunshots in a row made those Tartar scouts a little scrupled. They didn't dare to lean over quickly, lest they be shot. One of the Tartar scouts, probably in control of the horse, hesitated a little, and his body paused slightly. Wang Xiaoniu estimated that it may be his eyes, which were hit by snowflakes and lost his visual knee-jerk reaction for a while.

"Bang!"

Seizing this rare opportunity, another Tiger Cavalry immediately opened fire.

"Poof!"

The Tartar scout fell from his horse, stretched out his legs, and was silent. The bow and arrows behind him were scattered all over the ground, and they looked very clear in the white snow.

The number of Tartar scouts was suddenly reduced to three. However, they continue to try to get close to Wang Maverick them. Because, they also want to catch it alive. The best way to engage in intelligence is, of course, to scratch your tongue. However, it was impossible for them to fly to the inside of Dongjiabao to catch them. Only these Tiger Army cavalry, who were cruising outside the barracks, were their target. Therefore, despite the risks, they still tried their best to take out Wang Xiaoniu and them.

"Bang!"

Wang Xiaoniu shot again.

This time, he was shooting at the Tartars' horses.

There is no guarantee that you will hit someone, so it's better to hit the horse. Horses are larger than humans, and their hit rate is naturally higher. As long as you hit the horse, I believe that the Tartar will not be able to run away.

"Gray Yuyu!"

Sure enough, after the gunshot, a Tartar scout's war horse let out a painful neigh, and then involuntarily knelt forward. Losing balance in their movements, the horses' hooves splashed scattered white snow and black dirt, leaving the surrounding area in shambles.

The Tartar scouts on horseback were also thrown off heavily. Fortunately, the body of this Tartar scout was indeed strong, and his reaction was also very fast, and when the horse fell, he jumped down with agility. As a result, the war horse was thrown like this, and he didn't have anything to do. Of course, just because it's okay to be thrown down doesn't mean he can run.

By the time the horse fell to the ground, the other two tiger cavalry had already caught up. They're going to beat the water dogs. The Tartar scout found that he could not escape, and immediately lay on the back of his horse, and at the same time took off his bow and arrows from his back, and tried to resist stubbornly.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

Two gunshots rang out in a row.

One shot hit, one miss, that's enough.

The fallen Tartar scout, before he had a chance to shoot his arrow, lay on his horse's back, motionless. Minnie struck him in the head, and blood slowly seeped out of his cap, staining it a dark red.

The remaining two Tartar scouts, noticing that something was wrong, hurriedly turned their horses around and quickly withdrew. The sound of horses' hooves was crisp, and they soon ran away without a trace.

Wang Maverick they didn't chase.

Can't chase.

If they stand out too much, they risk being surrounded by Tartar cavalry. Two fists are hard to beat four hands, and the rate of fire of the Tiger Ben Gun is not enough to deal with too many Tartars. Their purpose is to send Tartar scouts piecemeal, not to be sent to the door to be beaten by Tartars piecemeal. This is very critical.

"Brother Xiong, bring back all the war horses."

Wang Xiaoniu nodded, mentioned the tiger ben that had been reloaded with ammunition, and said calmly.

The tiger cavalryman named Brother Xiong immediately pulled the two intact Tartar war horses together and sent them back to the barracks. Wang Xiaoniu and the others continued to patrol the area back and forth, waiting for more Tartar scouts to appear. Sadly, no Tartar scouts ever entered the area.

The scattered snowflakes began to drift slowly again, slowly enveloping their figures. The heavens and the earth gradually became vast. The black soil, which had been turned over by the horses' hooves, was soon covered with snow again. Then, it was turned out again, covered again, and the cycle repeated.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

Sporadic gunshots, accompanied by snowflakes, continued to echo around Dongjiabao.

Dong Mourningwu, Dong Huaxia, Liu Xunchun and others all gathered around Zhang Zhun, a little nervous, a little curious to listen to the gunshots coming from outside the city. This kind of battle really makes them feel different. They could vaguely see that the Tiger Warriors and the Tartar scouts seemed to be chasing each other. From time to time, someone falls, but it is not clear which one has fallen.

Liu Xunchun's heart was itching, and he couldn't help but say, "My lord, are you still recruiting people from the Tiger Army?" ”

Zhang Zhun said quietly: "You promised you to join the army?" ”

Liu Xunchun said eagerly: "I don't want him to care." ”

Zhang Zhun said slowly: "No problem, as long as you can pass the basic assessment of the recruit training camp, you can hope to join the army." ”

Liu Xunchun relieved himself at this time, and immediately asked an acquaintance to inquire about the recruitment process of the Tiger Ben Army, and it seemed that he was indeed in a hurry. The attraction of the Tiger Army to him is indeed very great.

Unlike Zhang Zhun's light-heartedness, Azig's face has always been very gloomy.

There is no intelligence feedback from Maubali so far, and it seems that intelligence reconnaissance has a certain degree of difficulty. However, the sound of the Tiger Army's firearms kept coming, and it sounded extremely dull and lonely in the ice and snow.

Every sound of the fire bell made Azig feel his heart skip a beat. He had never felt this way before. Every time the Dajin Army fought with the Ming Army, the Ming Army's various firearms sounded as if it was a New Year's artillery battle. Among them, there are often cannon sounds such as Franc machine artillery and tiger squat cannons, and he is not afraid at all. Zhenghongqi has always been stationed on the front line in Jinzhou, confronting the Ming army, and the sound of guns and cannons, he has long been accustomed to it.

Relatively speaking, the sound of the Tiger Army's firearms is much more monotonous and lonely. It sounds like there aren't many people shooting. The gunfire was also incoherent and intermittent, as if it was out of breath. However, Azig just sensed that something was wrong, and every time the gunshot rang out, he felt a little bad...... Even Azig couldn't figure out why.

Perhaps, it was because of the sound of ten firebolts that the lives of ten warriors of the Great Golden Army were lost. If these ten warriors of the Dajin Kingdom were used to deal with the ordinary Ming army, they could at least kill hundreds of Ming troops. But here in the Tiger Army, they didn't even have a chance to make a move, and they were already summoned by the shaman. In front of the Tiger Army, even the shaman became so generous, which really made Azig feel cold.

Now, the fire of the Tiger Ben Army is sounding sporadically, involuntarily bringing great psychological pressure to Azig. He always felt that behind every gunshot, there might be a Tartar scout who had been taken by the shaman and called away mercilessly. If that's really the case, the Tiger Army is really terrifying.

Maubali finally appeared.

"How's it going?"

Azig asked a little impatiently.

"Lord Belle, our spies can't get close to Zhang Zhun's camp at all."

Maubali said bitterly and helplessly.

He reported that the barracks of the Tiger Army were apparently in full swing. The cavalry of the Tiger Army, cruising outside the barracks, specialized in shooting the scouts of the Dajin Army. The cavalry of the Tiger Army was fierce, and the scouts of the Dajin Army had already suffered casualties. Fortunately, some of the general situations were still grasped by Maubal.

The place where the Tiger Ben Army was stationed was not only Dongjiabao, but also garrisons in the nearby Liujiabao and Caojiabao. There are scouts with Tartars who mark the locations of all three castles. The markings clearly show that these three castles happen to be in the shape of a pret. In the open space between these three castles, there are continuous tiger army camps. There are also a lot of banners of the Tiger Army, and it can be inferred that there should be a lot of troops in the Tiger Army.

Azig said in surprise: "What do you mean, the Tiger Ben army is here, and it has gathered heavy troops?" ”

Maubali affirmed, "It should be so." ”

Azig hesitated.

The Tiger Ben Army is here, and there are heavy troops, which is really incredible.

Why did Zhang Zhun hoard heavy troops here? What's the secret here? Azig couldn't help but be suspicious. Zhang Zhun's main territory should be in Shandong, he went to Beizhili to deploy heavy troops, what the hell is he doing? Does he want Shandong? From Beizhili to Shandong, there is no obstacle at all. In two days, the cavalry of the Dajin Army was able to rush to the bottom of Dengzhou City. In this context, how could Zhang Zhun deploy heavy troops in Beizhili?

No, no, the Tiger Army must be bluffing here.

Zhuge Liang, what's that...... Azig remembered the storytelling he had heard, Zhuge Liang was playing with the empty city plan, and Zhang Zhun was very likely to be the same. What is the purpose of Zhang Zhun doing tricks here? Of course, to prevent himself from entering Shandong. If there is no accident, the Tiger Army military camp around Dongjiabao should be an empty shell, and there will not be too many Tiger Army. The main force of the Tiger Ben Army should still be in Shandong.

I must see through Zhang Zhun's conspiracy and tricks.

Real gold is not afraid of fire, and the last thing that is afraid on the battlefield is to cheat. As long as the two sides fight, whether it is true or false can be detected immediately. Whether Dongjiabao has heavy troops or not, as long as you launch an attack, you can know. Zhang Zhun wanted to play tricks, so he played with him. When he steals chickens and rice, he will know how powerful Dajin Kingdom is!

Attack, attack, must attack!
