Chapter 396: The Ming Army Launched in Advance

"Report ~ Governor, the wolf smoke is lit in the direction of Datong City, and 100,000 are in a hurry!" Just after the Lei Gong Mountain forty miles north of Datong, before arriving at Zhenhe Fort, the wolf smoke had already surpassed Zheng Renbao's personal guard team, and all the news of Zheng Renbao's departure to the north, although the garrisons of each fort did not know, but the cavalry who set off from Zhenhe to Datong to investigate, but on the way they met Zheng Renbao's army who was preparing to return to Datong.

"Sure enough, there is a problem in the direction of Datong City, come, quickly return to Datong, you go back and tell the Zhenhe guard, immediately order the soldiers and horses to follow me, and send someone to send a message to the border pass, all the fortresses are all on alert, I think this is not good." It's useless to talk about it now, Zheng Renbao only has a personal guard of less than 300 people in his hands, and if he really fights, he doesn't even have enough soldiers and horses.

"Xu Gui, you immediately take my generals to run to the high mountains, go to fetch my Tiger Wing Army cavalry battalion, take them, and quickly rush to meet me outside Datong City." Zheng Renbao said anxiously in his heart, after all, he didn't have enough troops and horses at hand, and he had to quickly control all the other troops that could be used nearby.

"Yes, please rest assured, the last general will definitely bring troops to meet with the governor, please be careful." Xu Gui, who is the governor of the Tiger Wing Army, has always been the number two person in this army, and this time he should have gone north to inspect the border defense line, but Zheng Renbao insisted on going there in person, so there was no general in Datong City who could command the whole army.

Because the cavalry army has a brigade here, the Tiger Wing Army only stationed a battalion within ten miles of Datong City, so that the original plus the military town two levels of the personal guard battalion, there are more than 2,000 people, once something happens, can get the help of a whole cavalry brigade nearby, and this brigade is temporarily under the temporary command of Zheng Renbao and Xu Gui, but now Zheng Jianjun is only a general soldier, how can he command the cavalry brigade that is almost parallel to him.

"Fan Jiujin, you take thirty horsemen to go first, one person and two horses, even if the horse runs away, you have to go back to Datong City for me first to see what happened, if there is chaos, you will immediately enter the cavalry camp in the south of the city, take my order and arrow and quickly deploy troops to quell the rebellion." Zheng Renbao gave another military order to his personal guard captain Fan Jiujin, and now it was time to deal with it immediately.

"Whoa." Fan Jiujin is tall and big, and he is the most loyal, and at this moment he took the arrow from Zheng Renbao's arms, and then beat the horse and quickly ordered the Sanshi cavalry, and then galloped all the way to the southeast.

"Hurry up, go back to Datong City." Seeing that everything was arranged, Zheng Renbao worriedly led the people and horses all the way to Datong......

"Oh no~! There is smoke rising in the direction of Xicheng, which will be exposed! "Wang Pu, who was guarding the governor's yamen, was already restless, although he was under house arrest in a separate courtyard, but like an ant on a hot pot, he couldn't be at peace for a moment, and looked out from time to time, and suddenly saw the wolf smoke in Xicheng, and suddenly secretly said that it was broken.

"I want to see the Governor, let me out!" It's a pity that although the soldiers and horses of the Governor's Standard Battalion outside are also a little chaotic, no one dares to let him go without permission, and only tells him to go around in a hurry, but there is no better way.

"This must have been exposed in advance, could it be that Feng Ju took over the Governor Biao Battalion outside Xicheng and went wrong, and was discovered by the Qin army and had to raise troops in advance?" Xiong Wencan was also stunned, originally their plan was to act at night, because there was a cover of night, and they could also catch the Qin army off guard, and they could also delay time at night, waiting for reinforcements from Xuanfu Town and the Mongols, but now, there were troops who acted in advance without permission, which was difficult to do.

"No matter what, the arrow has to be sent, the order will go down, all the armies will immediately go out of the camp, transfer the army from the east gate into the city, and immediately start to control the four gates, be sure to block the south gate for me first, and do not let the cavalry of the Qin army enter the city, go quickly!" There is no way to retreat, Xiong Wencan can only give an order, he doesn't know what impact this extra day will have on the whole plan, but he knows that if he doesn't move, he can only wait for death.

……

"Quick, immediately enter the city and seize the east gate." Zhang Guoqin secretly went out of the city gate, arrived at the official army camp in the east of the city, and was instructing the generals of his cronies to come up and give a face-to-face lecture, when he suddenly saw the three cannons agreed in the city, he was stunned, and then he came out of the big tent and saw the black smoke in the west like a pillar, so he knew that the matter was exposed in advance, so he hurriedly beckoned the troops and horses of all departments to prepare to launch in advance.

"Yes!" A group of garrisons behind him, the thousand commanders immediately led the troops down, and began to point the troops in a mess to prepare for departure, but the time for the Ming army to reorganize the army was too slow, and seeing that the time was getting more and more urgent, Zhang Guoqin could only take two hundred military horses and go to the east gate first, and the east gate was closed when it was late.

"Hurry up~ Where is it so slow?" Those generals who stayed behind were also in a hurry, but there was no better way, because the secret order of the governor's palace could not be passed on to the ordinary soldiers below, they were ordered to go out half an hour before the night at most, which still required a certain amount of time to prepare.

……

"Why did the Governor start it early? We're not ready yet. "The original task of the Ming army gathered at the south gate was to storm the south gate at night, and then go to the Qin army cavalry brigade camp in the south of the city with the holy decree to appease them, but now, more than 200 people were secretly gathered, and suddenly they heard the secret signal and lifted into the air.

"General, what shall we do?" One of the generals came to Niu Chenghu's side, asked hurriedly, and looked at the two hundred people behind him from time to time, that's all, to touch Nancheng? Aren't they looking for death, not to mention that the other party has a full team on guard, and once the fight starts, so many Qin army reinforcements, have they ever fought?

"No matter, order your troops, desperately storm the city gate, be sure to close the city gate for me, and the west gate and the east gate have already been moved, we have a good chance of winning." Niu Chenghu looked at the wolf smoke at the west gate, and thought about the Ming army camp at the east gate, and after a little total, he felt that the chance of winning was not impossible, as long as the cavalry of the Qin army was locked outside the city, then everything would still be fought.

"Quick, the people who ordered you, rush up for me, directly seize the city gate, and those who dare to retreat will be killed!" Niu Chenghu is also a veteran general on the battlefield, and he is not ambiguous at all, he stood up directly, pulled out the saber on his waist, and twisted it on his hand, he really could control the scene.

"Brothers, the Governor has an order, kill the rebel, kill one, reward twenty taels of silver, close the city gate, reward fifty taels of silver, serve as a soldier to eat food, feed the whole family, it depends on all this~!" This general seemed to have been infected by Niu Chenghu's bravery, so he rushed out, roared loudly at the more than 200 Ming troops hiding in the shadows, and then began to lead them to rush to the south gate.

"The Ming army in the city really made a move, come on, hold the city gate for me, push the tiger squat cannon up for me, and beat him." The Qin army defending the city didn't take the people in his eyes at all, he had a team of more than 100 people in his hands, and after the smoke was lit at the west gate, he had already notified a nearby Tuntian battalion of soldiers and horses, as long as he held on for half an hour, there would be a large army to help, as a Qin army, what was he afraid of?

"The first row guards the city gate, the second row, the third row follow me, and destroy this Ming army." With the elite team of a hundred battles in his hand, he had no fear of these Ming troops at all, not to mention that the armor they wore provided enough confidence, and in the face of the Ming army's undisciplined attacks, the Qin army seemed to show disdain.

In terms of combat effectiveness alone, the Ming army, which took less than half of the military salary and mixed food, trained for five days a month even if it was worthy of the cultivation of the imperial court.

On the other hand, the Qin army, although don't look at this team is used to garrison the city wall, but a battalion stationed in Datong has three main forces and a reserve capital, and every ten days a team guards the gate, and even if it is to guard the city gate, they have not forgotten to practice, after all, the full military salary, sufficient money and food, and the policy of constantly preaching are enough to ensure their high morale and combat effectiveness, which are not comparable to the Ming army.

Therefore, two platoons of less than seventy people, but launched an attack on the Ming army of 200 people, in terms of momentum, this contempt for the opponent, I simply don't know how many times higher than the Ming army, the army that fought purely for silver, was outdated.

"Bang bang bang ~" Under the firing of the first thirty firearms, the Ming army on the opposite side suddenly lost a piece, and no one could hide at such a close distance, but the Qin army was able to endure the casualties of three or four people, and the wounded were dragged down by the men and horses in the first row of the back row, and the rest of the people didn't look at it, and continued to attack directly.

"Kill~!" One of the first team leaders took the big knife in his hand, raised it high and waved it suddenly, making him dumbfounded, the waist knife held by the Ming soldiers on the opposite side was suddenly directly taken by him with a knife, and a piece was cut to the ground.

"My mother, these people are also fierce, everyone run~" The Ming army came up for the drive of silver, if they were allowed to fight the unorganized rogues, it would be okay, but unfortunately what they are encountering now is fully armed, and even in terms of organization and discipline, they will be blind, just such a simple military formation, and the Ming army will collapse.

"Run~"

"Defeated~"

"Don't kill me, I'm surrendering~"

God is pitiful, this team leader still plans to hold on to the city gate when it can't hold on, waiting for reinforcements, but now this group of scattered Ming troops, what does it mean? (To be continued.) )
