18 Two mountain passes flanking battle
The wind is fluttering, the water is cold, and the soldiers are gone. All work in Shandong is still in full swing. Xu Guangqi's scientific research work has made a lot of progress, and after Li Zhizao got five million taels of silver, he recruited 10,000 craftsmen to begin demolishing the old city wall. After Weihaiwei's counselor Zhu Fulei received Hu Jinghui's help, the construction of 20 huge docks had already begun, and it was estimated that the docks could be built in three months. In terms of invention, the Wang Zheng brothers also gave full play to their talents and have drawn out copper wires. Two magnets were found at the foot of Mount Tai. Then, according to the generator drawings provided by Li Long, the generator is being manufactured step by step.
After a five-day voyage, Father Myron came to Guangzhou, and John Tang in Guangzhou was also very satisfied with Li Long's generosity, and heard Myron say that Li Long had built a church in Shandong and the prefecture, and allowed Christianity to enter Shandong, hoping that John Tong would move to the church in Qingzhou as soon as possible to work. Myron then hired 300 arquebusiers in Macau, and set out on his way back to England on a large ship.
is talking about the war on the ground in Shanxi, and the anti-thief Zhou Yuji beat the "Wang Shi" with one cripple and two injuries. The battle began to stalemate for several hours. Li Jiantai suggested a night attack, and Zhou Yanru was timid and afraid. I didn't dare to fight a night attack. In the name of the overseer, he ordered Li Jiantai to continue the storming of Taiyuan City early the next morning. 、
Originally, Zhou Yuji didn't take Zhou Yanru in his eyes, so each city gate only used 4,000 troops, but now it seems that the south gate is tight, and after many inquiries, he knew that it was the famous general Li Jiantai who was commanding. Zhou Yuji transferred 2,000 crossbowmen and 2,000 ironclad sword and shield soldiers to the south gate city wall. Mobilize 1,000 crossbowmen and 1,000 ironclad sword and shield soldiers to support the East Gate.
The effect of the attack on the second day was even worse than that on the first day, and the general army of the north gate withdrew to Baoding. After Ma Qing of the east gate led his troops to attack for a while, he found that the strength of today's defenders was obviously stronger than the previous two days, and after leaving two thousand bodies, he had to withdraw his troops, and Li Jiantai at the south gate had a similar effect, because Zhou Yuji took special care of Li Jiantai, so Li Jiantai's casualties were greater, more than three thousand.
Li Long's "thief soldiers" had already arrived less than ten miles away from Li Jiantai. The news reached Zhou Yanru's ears and immediately caused a thunderstorm.
Zhou Yanru was furious: "The officers and soldiers of the three provinces are attacking the army, and there is actually a rebel army to attack the officers and soldiers, General Li Bing, your combat effectiveness is the strongest, and it is up to you to meet the rebels who don't know whether they are alive or dead."
In the big tent, Zhou Yanru, Li Jiantai, Ma Qing. and several lieutenants discussed how to capture Taiyuan, and at this time, the waiter reported that another rebel army was coming to the south gate of Taiyuan ten miles away. Because the south gate is Li Jiantai's defense area, it is natural to let Li Jiantai stop the rebels
Ten miles outside the suburbs of Taiyuan City, Shanxi is a mountainous area, almost a mountain is connected to a mountain, and the mountains are connected. Li Jiantai's march was also very careful in such an environment to prevent ambushes.
In front of him was a narrow strip of only three or four hundred meters horizontally, with towering peaks on both sides, and Li Jiantai rode on a horse to watch these high mountains. "Hurry, get through quickly" He understands that such places are most prone to ambushes. Suddenly, a man and a horse appeared in front of him. It's Li Long, Li Long after makeup. He rode on a horse, wore rattan armor, held a large dry knife, and carried a large strong bow on his back. There are also several feathered arrows in the quiver. One person blocked the way of Li Jiantai's tens of thousands of troops.
"Rack ,,, fight" Li Jiantai stepped forward and scolded: "Who is the thief, you dare to block the way of the official army, get out of the way quickly, and leave you a whole corpse"
Li Long didn't speak, he casually pulled out a feather arrow from his back, pulled the bow and released the arrow with a "whoosh" sound, the feather arrow flew past Li Jiantai's ear, and Li Jiantai's facial muscles were painful when he was stimulated by Jinfeng. But the lieutenant behind Li Jiantai couldn't dodge it and hit the left eye. With a scream, he fell down and died, dying on the spot.
Li Long didn't say much, he turned around and ran. Li Jiantai was furious: "Dog thief, thief, don't let me catch you"
If it were Ma Qing, it was estimated that Ma Qing would definitely catch up, but Li Jiantai was well versed in the art of war and knew the truth that a lone soldier could not go deeper, so he held back the pain and scolded a few words, and continued to walk briskly. ,
After walking for another half a mile, two people suddenly appeared in front of him, one was the villain who used to shoot arrows, and the other was younger than him, designated as a small soldier. Just these two people, there are blocking Li Jiantai's way.
Li Long shot an arrow near Li Jiantai, but deliberately missed it. Another officer and soldier were killed. Li Long laughed. And the other person is Yang Dali, the commander of the guard platoon. This time, after selecting the soldiers, he led 5,000 elite soldiers to follow Li Long on the expedition.
Yang Dali also laughed, the soldiers of Hejian Mansion couldn't bear it anymore. They all scolded: "You two thieves have a kind of come to fight, villains, they will sneak attack...... Lord Commander, let's attack, use fast horses to kill them and turn them on their backs."
"Yes, sir, you can give the order," said the soldier again
“,,,,,,,,”
"Yes, give the order, my lord, it's too wretched." Someone else said
Li Jiantai heard all this in his ears and felt pain in his heart, the soldiers did not understand the art of war, and they did not know at all that this was the enemy's ploy to lure the soldiers and horses into the encirclement.
At this time, Yang Dali just urged to take off his pants, revealing Bai Huahua's buttocks, bending over and pouting his ass and shouting at Li Jiantai: "Come on, eat fart"
Take off your shirt while shouting, and you're about to **. Typical insults.
"Our general soldier won't have anything to do with the thieves, why don't the two soldiers dare to rush up and kill," some soldiers whispered. The morale of the army began to fluctuate
"Not necessarily, maybe this Li Jiantai and the bandits are all in the same group, and we were all deceived into sending them to death" was even more discussed
"What should I do? Run, if you don't run, Li Jiantai will surrender to the thieves, and then we won't even have a command, only a big defeat and be killed, brothers, think more about your family"
"Let's Run"
Li Jiantai saw that the army's morale was fluctuating seriously, and if no one killed these two annoying guys, he would definitely mutiny, so he waved his hand and shouted: "Mr. Zhao, bring two people to catch those two dogs."
At this time, Li Long and Yang Dali turned around and ran back here, which one was replaced by Zhao and threw the general old soldier into the air, and Li Long and Yang Dali disappeared in a blink of an eye.
Li Jiantai didn't care so much, anyway, as long as the army did not go deep and did not disperse, there would be no danger, so he continued to order the army to advance.
"The surname Li wants to give us all to the bandits as meat to eat," some soldiers were still discussing
"I don't know."
Li Jiantai really heard enough, and was furious: "Come on, take down those troublesome military hearts for me, push them down and behead them"
At this time, the little soldiers who were talking nonsense just now were frightened, and begged for mercy: "My lord, spare your life, I don't dare to do it."
But it didn't work, and with a burst of screams, everything fell silent. But the seeds of the army's turmoil had already sprouted in the hearts of the soldiers.
After walking for about a mile, a mark of men and horses was killed in front of him. I saw that the man was like a dragon, and the horse was like a tiger. , the knife shines, and the arrow kills. Not your average bandit. Moreover, these bandits had already arranged their horses at the front of the team to place the cavalry charge. Behind the rejection of the horse were several rows of super spears, the sharp heads of which seemed to be ready to take people's lives at any time. Behind the pikemen were fifteen hundred crossbowmen. They all lined up and waited for Li Jiantai to enter the firing range. And at the back of the team is the work of releasing the cold arrow just now, obviously he is the "king" here
Li Jiantai is well versed in the art of war, and in such a narrow area, the cavalry is powerless in the face of rejecting horses, and cannot outflank them on a large scale, so the cavalry is useless. Only infantry can be used, but the infantry has to face the attack of super spears up to seven meters long, as well as countless bows and arrows. It seems that this is a tough battle, and it must be rushed up with the daring men to destroy the rejection. Then use the cavalry to charge back and forth, so as to reopen this large array.
Li Jiantai ordered: "Archers come out"
"Draw the bow, release the arrow"
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh," hundreds of arrows came to a halt when they landed thirty meters away from the horse. It seems that the archers must be pushed forward
"The army pushes forward flat, advances" Li Jiantai is not a fool, he will not stand in place and wait for the enemy's crossbowmen to shoot and wound. Therefore, you can use crowd tactics to advance the archers within range. Use the power of a bow and arrow to shoot and wound enemy spearmen.
Li Jiantai's army pushed forward mightily, and Li Long looked at the red circle originally drawn on the ground. When Li Jiantai's army stepped on the red circle, Li Long gave the order to release arrows. Fifteen hundred bows and arrows shot at Li Jiantai's army at a rapid pace, and in the center was a large number of rattan soldiers. It's okay for rattan soldiers to defend against bows and arrows, but if you want to defend against crossbow arrows, it's not good at all. A flurry of crossbow arrows pierced a large number of soldiers wearing rattan cards. Hundreds of soldiers fell to the ground,
"Defense"; Li Jiantai ordered
Thousands of soldiers raised rattan cards one after another and held them above their heads, forming a tortoiseshell formation, and Li Long saw that the combat effectiveness of this army was indeed different from the previous thief soldiers. Li Jiantai is indeed a fierce general, and he is also one of the most powerful generals in the Ming army. Of course, it's still not as powerful as Wu Sangui. But such an army is already good in front of the best daimyo.
When Li Long saw that the enemy had formed tortoise shells, he ordered: "The crossbow arrows continue to shoot, and the firecrackers attack."
Immediately, countless musketeers shot out from the mountains on both sides, raising their guns and shooting. The power of the musket is not comparable to that of the crossbow arrows, and the extremely powerful plate armor of Europe cannot withstand the fire of the arquebus, let alone the rattan brand. The first wave of fire caused thousands of people to fall to the ground, and it is uncertain whether they died or not.
When Li Jiantai saw that the firecrackers had been killed, he also shot at the firecrackers who commanded him and Li Long's firearms, but a large number of firecrackers were crowded inside and couldn't get out, and only a few firecrackers successfully shot. However, Li Jiantai did not pay enough attention to the firecracker, and the training was obviously insufficient. After the first round of shooting, they all stopped to clean the chambers, and many people did not bring cleaning tools, so they had to borrow them from others. Suddenly it was a lot slower.
Li Long's firecrackers have all shot in the second, third, and fourth rounds. Li Jiantai's was only ready to shoot the second wave. Due to the inaccuracy of the shooting, coupled with the interference of Li Long's crossbow arrows, he did not hit at all. , The crossbow arrow broke through a large piece of rattan cards, and there was a blank in Li Jiantai's soldiers and horses, and there was a place where there were no rattan cards to block the arrows, and suddenly the soldiers fell one by one.
"Boom Boom ,,,Boom Boom Boom" The huge cannon sound shocked the heavens and the earth, this is the six small guns of the Franc machine brought by Li Long, because the small is relatively light and easy to carry. So Li Long decided to bring six small cannons.
This burst of artillery bombardment was carried out with flowering shells, and a large opening was immediately opened in Li Jiantai's army, and the officers and men were blown up more than two meters high and fell heavily to the ground. More than a dozen people were killed and wounded in a single shot.
If you run back, you will inevitably be defeated on the whole front, and you will be defeated even more sharply. , Li Jiantai is thinking about countermeasures. It's better to fight. 、
"The rattan players gather, rush forward for me, you must rush out of a bloody road, otherwise everyone will die here" Li Jiantai commanded and then rushed out first. Li Jiantai's horse is a heavy cavalry with full body armor, and Li Jiantai's whole body is covered with heavy armor. Holding a long saber (6 meters does not count the hilt), the rattan players behind him swarmed up, and thousands of rattan players rushed out like a flood of the embankment. Li Jiantai, who rushed the fastest, had already arrived in front of the rejection.
"Rise" Li Jiantai clamped the horse's belly between his legs, and the war horse jumped high, jumped over the rejection horse and rushed straight to the spear formation.
"Kill, kill" Li Jiantai's long knife opened the bow left and right, slashing a spearman, and the blood splashed all over his body like a bloody man.
Seeing this, Yang Dali rushed over, holding a lasso in his hand, and shook the lasso as he ran. Li Jiantai was concentrating on the bloody battle, and he didn't notice that Yang Dali rushed over, and he was caught off guard by being hit in the chest by the lasso. He fell heavily to the ground. Three or five pikemen rushed up to stab him to death.
"Stop, capture alive" Li Long shouted at the back of the brigade to stop the soldiers, the soldiers were rushed in by Li Jiantai and killed several people, and they were nesting fire, seeing that he was caught, they wanted to kill him. But the chief soldier didn't let him kill, so he had to give up.
The rattan soldiers who followed behind were already engaged with the spearmen, and the rattan players could not get close to the pikemen's defense, and they were stabbed to death in front of the pikemen, and the corpses in front of the pikemen were piled up one after another. Many rattan players climbed to the top of the corpse mountain and condescendingly jumped into the spear array, sacrificing their lives and forgetting death
Li Long was in tears, he had never seen such a heroic officer and soldier, and today when he saw the soldiers trained by Li Jiantai, he knew that the demise of the Ming Dynasty had nothing to do with the army, and it was mainly caused by the government. In fact, there are many such armies in the Ming Dynasty. For example, the Qin army in Shaanxi, the commander is Hong Chengyan, the second generation is Sun Chuanting, the soldiers and horses of Zhou Yuxi, the general soldier of Shanxi, and the Guanning iron cavalry of Wu Sangui of Shanhaiguan are the elite of the elite. Troops who dare to face the Qing soldiers in the field. Zu Dashou's Dongjiang Army. It's all good.
Li Long thought about the idea of subduing this army, so he shouted: "Stop, don't fight"
The army was forbidden, Li Long shouted not to fight, the Qingzhou soldiers in Shandong stopped the attack one after another, and Li Jiantai's Hejian army saw that the enemy stopped the attack, as if the commander had something to say. They all stopped.
Li Long looked at the soldiers in the bloody battle, the corpses were already piled up several meters high, and there were soldiers on both sides. This is also the largest number of casualties in the battle since Li Long came to this era, and then said: "Soldiers of the Hejian Army, lay down your arms and surrender, your main general Li Jiantai has been captured alive, and if you don't surrender, there is only one way to die if you continue to resist." I'm Li Long, the chief soldier of Shandong."
Li Long's name Hejian Jun must have known, and he was famous, he led fifty people and hundreds of thieves alone. It was only recited for a long time by the Hejian Army. , now when I see Li Long himself, he is so young. And there is also courage and resourcefulness.
Li Long ordered someone to push out the captured Li Jiantai, and Li Jiantai was tied up by Wuhua and couldn't move. Li Long also dismounted and came to Li Jiantai and said: "Brother Jiantai, you are a hero, and I, Li Long, admire you." Today's Ming Dynasty is the best, do you think there is still a future? ”
Li Jiantai didn't speak, he was thinking about whether what Li Long said was correct
Li Long went on to say: "What is the most important thing for a nation and a country? It is the people, the support of the people. But now the Ming court is not popular with the people, and the people are panicked. There are Tartars on the outside, Li thieves and Zhang thieves on the inside. You and I learn how martial arts can serve the country loyally. ”
"The first time, until the fourth time the Qing troops entered the customs and plundered, how many generals of the Ming Dynasty dared to fight the Qing troops, no. I have been a shrunken turtle and have been looking for a day, if I Li Long has 100,000 soldiers, I will definitely go out of Shanhaiguan, break Jinzhou, and Ningyuan. Return me to the rivers and mountains"
"Give me back the rivers and mountains, return my rivers and mountains, return my rivers and mountains" Thousands of sergeants were moved by Li Long's patriotic sentiments and shouted patriotic slogans one after another. Li Long's army also relaxed their vigilance, and they all shouted the slogan "Return my rivers and mountains, return my rivers and mountains"
"The criminal general Li Jiantai visited the Shandong General Army, and all the soldiers below Li Jiantai are willing to accept the general's reorganization if they are alive." Li Jiantai suddenly realized, and suddenly knelt down to express his submission. , and thirty or fifty soldiers who followed Li Jiantai knelt down one after another to express their submission. The rest of those who did not kneel followed the overall situation and expressed their surrender.
Li Long personally helped Li Jiantai up and said with a smile: "Welcome the general to join the ranks of the rebels, and count on the general to kill the enemy."
"Never give up," Li Jiantai said impassionedly
"General Li, are you willing to do internal response? Let's get rid of Zhou Yanru, the big traitor, together? Li Long suggested
Li Jiantai's teeth itched when he thought of Zhou Yanru, a big traitor, and said: "If it weren't for Zhou Yanru's interference that day, I would have attacked Taiyuan City and captured Lord Zhou, it seems that this is all a coincidence and a misunderstanding." Hehe. Don't worry, Master Li, I will definitely respond to it. Watch the general raise fire as a signal and attack Ma Qing's camp at night. Attacking from both sides, it is bound to wipe out the remnants of Ma Qing's 10,000 people. , hand blade Zhou Yanru"
Li Long shouted: "Okay, General Li is strong." You and I agreed to attack Zhou Yanru's camp tonight."
Inside the city of Taiyuan
"The wind is high and dry, beware of the candles. The wind is high and dry, beware of the candles. The wind is high and dry, beware of the candles. "Surprised
Zhou Yuji received Li Long's flying pigeon summons, and agreed to attack Zhou Yanru with Li Jiantai tonight and annihilate Ma Qing
