Chapter 149: A Great Victory
The next time, the camp of slaves was built.
Early in the morning, the Jiannu generals such as Xifu, Sony, Tulai, Leng Seng Ji, Tan Tai, and Ta Zhan, as well as the leaders of the two Mongol tribes, Tushetu and Zasak, had already gathered in the big tent of the Chinese army in Haoge, and asked to move to Yanjing and join Dolgon's brigade as soon as possible.
Because as of last night, even the last batch of war horses had already fallen down, and Jiannu had completely fallen into the predicament of having no horses to ride, and if he didn't turn to Yanjing as soon as possible, he would probably not be able to leave when he wanted to.
Xifu knelt down on one knee and slapped Hauge a thousand, and said urgently: "Master, you can't wait any longer. ”
"yes, can't wait any longer."
"We must move to Yanjing as soon as possible and join the two regents."
"yes, it's useless to stay longer."
Sony, Tourai and others have come out to echo each other.
The crowd was turbulent, and Hauge was forced to be helpless, and was about to give the order to turn to Yanjing, when a continuous horn suddenly sounded outside the tent, Hauge's face changed dramatically, and he asked in a deep voice: "Where is this horn?" ”
As soon as Hauge's words fell, Goshha hurriedly entered the account and said, "Master, it's not good. ”
Hauge frowned and shouted, "What's wrong?" ”
Goshha said: "The thieves on Lei Gong Mountain have already killed this side. ”
"What? What do these goddamn rogues want to do? Hauge was startled and said hurriedly, "Let's go, let's see." ”
Hauge and his generals hurried to the lookout, looked from afar, and sure enough, he saw that a large group of rogue cavalry had swept from the northern wilderness, and when he was about to approach the camp of Jiannu, this group of rogue cavalry was divided into two groups, and bypassed from both sides of the camp of Jiannu, and then entered until the north gate of the city before shooting at the position.
"Damn it." Hauge clenched his hands angrily and roared, "These war horses were all snatched from us, this king will definitely not spare them, we must find a way to snatch back all the lost war horses." ”
"Kill slaves!"
"Kill slaves!"
"Kill slaves!"
Haoge's voice fell, and the closed north gate of Datong suddenly opened slowly, and in the continuous sound of the trumpet, a group of Ming officials and soldiers had slowly opened out of the city in a neat queue, and what was even more shocking was that the two teams of thieves and cavalry suddenly contracted their formations, protecting the left and right wings of the Ming official army respectively.
"What!?" Hauge was stunned and said, "This ...... Is this true? ”
Haoge really didn't expect that the thieves and the Ming official army, who were originally rivals, could still fight side by side like brothers.
"It's broken." Xifu also sighed after a pause, "I didn't expect the thieves to really join forces with the Ming army, and with the thief cavalry to protect the two wings, Wang Pu's firearms battalion can attack our camp unscrupulously." ”
"What are you afraid of?" Haoge said angrily, "This king doesn't believe it, 30,000 troops will not be able to resist the attack of thousands of Ming troops!" ”
■■■
Datong North Gate.
After the official army and the thieves lined up, Li Yan took the red lady and more than 100 cavalry soldiers to the rear of the Ming army, Wang Pu saw it, and quickly took Nen Niang, Lu Liu and dozens of cavalry soldiers to meet him, and the two of them hugged their fists on horseback, and laughed loudly at the same time.
"Chief Li."
"Mr. Wang."
"I really didn't expect us to meet again so soon."
"What's even happier is that this time we're still friends."
Wang Pu Yangtian snorted and said with a smile: "As long as Chief Li keeps his promise, we will always be friends." ”
Li Yan smiled faintly, and then said: "Li Yan must abide by the agreement, and I also hope that Mr. Wang can be true to his word." ”
"Of course." Wang Pu smiled and said, "Leader Li, why don't you start here?" ”
Li Yan also smiled and said, "Please also ask General Wang to give an order." ”
Wang Pu bowed slightly, slowly pulled out his waist knife and held it high above the top, and Lu Liu, who was closely behind Wang Pu, spread the big flag in his hand, Li Yan, the Red Lady and his wife, and more than 100 cavalry soldiers saw this big flag, and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, they really had never seen such a tattered flag.
Lu Liu's banner was unfurled, and the four thousand presidents of Scarface, Tang Sheng, Zhao Xin and Monk Zhang, who were standing in front of their respective formations, also pulled out their waist knives, and then dozens of generals also pulled out their waist knives and held them high above the top, and nearly four thousand musketeers unloaded their muskets from their shoulders and hugged them obliquely on their chests.
The four thousand musketeers were followed by four thousand Datong Minzhuang, each of whom was holding a thick wooden plank in his hand, Li Yan couldn't help but scream in his heart when he saw it, it seems that Wang Pu had indeed prepared, the wooden plank in the hands of these four thousand Minzhuang can be used as a shield, and can also be used to fill the trench in front of the camp of Jiannu.
Wang Pu pushed his waist knife forward and shouted: "Attack!" ”
Lu Liu, who was following closely behind, waved the big flag in his hand forward, and Scarface, Tang Sheng, Zhao Xin, Monk Zhang, and dozens of generals followed one after another, and then roared hoarsely: "Attack!" ”
"Attack!"
"Attack!"
"Attack!"
The 4,000 musketeers who were waiting for the battle immediately began to march forward in a neat pace, shouting in unison every step forward, and the fierce sound rushed straight into the sky, shocking the eardrums, Li Yan looked sideways at the cavalry queue of the rebels, but what he saw was a loose and disorderly scene.
The chaos and disorder of the rebel army and the strict and orderly queue of the officers and soldiers are in stark contrast!
Li Yan's face suddenly became solemn, the training level of Wang Pu's firearms battalion was far beyond his imagination, although the righteous army also strengthened its training during this time in Lei Gongshan, compared with Wang Pu's firearms battalion, the gap was still very large.
"Leader Li, it's time for you to go back and command the rebel army."
When Li Yan was paying close attention to the marching formation of the official army, Wang Pu's voice suddenly sounded in his ears.
Wang Pu saw that Li Yan was reluctant to return to the thief array, so he had to remind him that cooperation is cooperation, but Li Yan is not his own person after all, and there are some things that he still can't see, especially the paper shell bomb invented by the young girl, which is a thing that costs human life, how can Li Yan see it?
"Huh." Li Yan smiled slightly embarrassedly, "Then I will leave." ”
Wang Pudu has already issued an order to expel customers, and of course Li Yan can't be cheeky anymore and stay here.
In the deafening sound of the trumpet, the four thousand Ming army and eight thousand thieves slowly moved forward, and stopped when they were a stone's throw away from the camp of Jiannu, such a distance, although the bows and arrows of Jiannu could not shoot the Ming army and the thieves, but the muskets of the Ming army could not pose much threat to Jiannu.
However, the Ming army had artillery, while the Jiannu did not.
Jiannu's only five Hongyi cannons had already been brought to Yanjing by Dolgon.
Wang Pu gave an order, Xiao Qi led the family team to pull the two mortar cannons on the carriage to the front of the battle, and the family members laid the iron hammer on the ground as quickly as possible, and completely fixed the mortar cannon and the frame together, so that when the cannon was fired, the mortar cannon and the fixed frame would not be shaken away.
These two mortars are already old antiques, and they can only fire solid iron bumps, which is a bit difficult to use to kill and injure Jiannu, but it is only a piece of cake to use them to blast open the gate of the Jiannu camp.
Xiao Qi raised his waist knife and led it forward, shouting: "Fire!" ”
The two housekeepers ignited the fuse outside the barrel of the mortar cannon with a fire twist, and the lead emitted black smoke and burned into the barrel of the cannon, and the two housekeepers ran ten paces away as fast as they could, and lay on the ground with their hands covered in their ears.
"Boom!"
With two deafening loud bangs, two red flames had already whistled out of the cannon chamber, and shot like lightning towards the gate of the Jiannu camp.
The solid gate was suddenly smashed to pieces, debris and broken wood flew all over the sky, and the two solid iron bumps shot out by the mortar cannon were inexhaustible after smashing the gate, and then they crashed into the Jiannu array, and the flesh and blood flew in the Jiannu array in an instant, and the severed limbs and stumps fell to the ground, these two iron bumps were like two blood plows, plowing out two deep blood marks in the crowded Jiannu array.
Before the smoke of the cannon dissipated, Wang Pu gave another order, and the four thousand Datong Minzhuang immediately rushed forward with four thousand long planks, and formed a tight board wall above the heads of the musketeers.
Of course, the Jiannu hiding in the camp will not sit still, Haoge gave an order, and a rain of arrows swept up from the Jiannu camp, and fell towards the heads of the musket team, but it was blocked by the strong board wall of Datong Minzhuang, and basically could not pose any threat to the musketeers hiding under the board wall.
Soon, the two armies were less than a hundred paces apart and were already within the effective range of the muskets.
The Jiannu archers also changed their tactics, no longer shooting at the sky senselessly, and were forced to aim at the front row of the Ming army's musketeers for direct fire, but unfortunately the arrows shot were too affected by the wind speed, and the hit rate was almost zero, while the lead bullets shot by the Ming musketeers were not affected by the wind at all.
Rows of lead bullets whistled over, and the Jiannu archers guarding behind the fence fell down one by one, and in less than a meal, the corpses of Jiannu behind the fence had been piled up, this was a completely one-sided massacre, and in the face of the superior firepower of the Ming army's firearms battalion, Jiannu had no power to parry.
■■■
The thieves are in the back.
The red lady said to Li Yan with a solemn expression: "Xianggong, this is terrible. ”
"yes." Li Yan's expression was equally solemn, and he said in a low voice, "If you hadn't witnessed it with your own eyes, I wouldn't have believed that this was true." ”
"Xianggong, if it is our rebels who are guarding the camp opposite......"
The red lady couldn't help but shudder when she said this, and she didn't dare to think about it anymore.
"Don't worry, lady." Li Yan said in a deep voice, "Although Wang Pu's firearms battalion is powerful, it is not invincible. ”
"Huh?" The red lady looked at Li Yan with burning eyes and asked, "Does Xianggong have a way to defeat Wang Pu's firearms battalion?" ”
"It's not easy, but it's not impossible." Li Yan frowned and said, "The attack power of Wang Pu's firearms battalion is very strong, it can be said to be irresistible, but it also has a fatal weakness, because the firearms battalion has to march forward in a neat firing queue, so it is slow to move, if there are a few cannons in the Jiannu camp opposite, Wang Pu's firearms battalion will suffer heavy losses!" ”
"Hmm." The red lady's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she said happily, "Xianggong, you are so powerful, you thought of a way to crack it so quickly." ”
Li Yan shook his head and smiled bitterly: "But this is not a good way, after all, the cannon is more cumbersome, it is more inconvenient to move, and it is very time-consuming to reload ammunition after a shot...... Also train a musket team. ”
The red lady was stunned and said, "But we don't have a musket?" ”
Li Yan said in a deep voice: "We can build no musket, and Wang Pu's musket is also made by himself." ”
■■■
Camp of Slaves.
The three trenches in front of the Jiannu camp have been filled with wooden planks by the people of Datong, and the Ming army firearms battalion has been killed in front of the Jiannu camp, hundreds of dragon king cannons were thrown in like raindrops, and in a deafening explosion, the Jiannu who were crowded in the camp were blown up in an instant.
After more than 3,000 archers were killed and wounded, the Zasaks and Tushetu had completely collapsed, and the remaining 5,000-odd Jiannu of the Two Yellow Banners had also been blown up in fear.
Haoge was already red-eyed, and wanted to take his personal guards out of the gate several times, but was dragged by Tan Tai and Leng Seng Ji.
"Let go!" Haoge tried his best to break free from Tan Tai and Leng Seng Ji, and shouted, "If you don't let go, this king will cut off your dog's head!" ”
"Master." Xifu and Sonny's uncle and nephew rushed forward from the chaotic army, knelt down in front of Hauge, and said miserably, "The firearms of the Ming army are too powerful, and the camp can't hold it!" ”
"If you can't keep it, you have to keep it." Hauge shouted hoarsely, "No one is allowed to escape." ”
"Master." Sony said urgently, "If you stay, you can only die in vain, so let's escape." ”
"Master, run away."
"If you don't run away, you won't be able to run away."
Turai and Tazhan also rushed to Haug with the remnants of the defeated army: "The damned Zasaks and Tushetu have fled. ”
"Zasaks? Tushetu people! Hauge clenched his fists and shouted, "This king will not spare them. ”
"Tan Tai, Leng Monk Machine." Xifu said categorically, "Protect the master and leave quickly." ”
"Wow."
Tan Tai and Leng Seng agreed violently, set up Hauge and left.
Xifu asked Tazhan and Soni to leave the palace with 300 men, and then he and Tulai fled from the camp with the rest of the Jiannu behind Hauge, before the Zasaks and Tushetu had already run first, and soon, the wilderness north of Datong was full of Jiannu's rout, and the mountains were everywhere.
■■■
The thieves are in the back.
Li Yan breathed a long sigh of relief, took out his long sword and raised it high above the top, and shouted loudly: "Order, the whole army will attack and kill Jiannu!" ”
Li Yan gave an order, and the eight thousand rogue cavalry swept away like a flood that broke the embankment, chasing the ass of the Jiannu rout.
Li Yan also joined the ranks of the pursuing army surrounded by the red lady and more than 100 cavalry soldiers, in terms of how to treat Jiannu's attitude, Li Yan and Wang Pu's views are surprisingly consistent, of course, the motives of the two are still different, Li Yan is to rob Jiannu of the armor and weapons in his hands, and Wang Pu is really going to kill Jiannu.
After conquering the Jiannu camp, Wang Pu quickly transferred two thousand horses from Datong City according to the predetermined plan, and then left Zhao Xin and Tang Sheng's two thousand-man team to clean up the battlefield.
Haoge's Jiannu army has been completely defeated, they have completely lost the courage to resist, only know that they are like dogs in the wilderness to flee in embarrassment, however, two legs can not run four legs after all, the thief cavalry and the Ming cavalry on fast horses soon caught up, and there are constantly backward Jiannu were intercepted by the pursuers, and then quickly hacked to death by random knives.
■■■
When it was almost dark, Wang Pu chased more than a dozen Jiannu up the white mountain.
At this time, Wang Pu was already left with only Nen Niang, Lu Liu and the seventeen cavalry soldiers, and the rest of the cavalry had all dispersed when they were chasing and killing Jiannu, because Jiannu scattered and fled, running everywhere, Wang Pu could only continue to divide the troops and divide the troops, and in the end there were only so many people left.
The dozen or so Jiannu were exhausted, and they couldn't run anymore when they ran halfway up the mountain, so Wang Pu and his gang quickly caught up and killed the dozen Jiannu without much effort.
Lu Liu looked up at the sky and said to Wang Pu: "General, it's getting dark, let's go back." ”
Lu Liu can't help but worry about Wang Pu's safety, once it gets dark, it will be difficult to chase and kill Jiannu, and if you don't do it, you may still eat Jiannu's cold arrows, if you hurt Wang Pu, it will be a big loss, and more importantly, after chasing and killing for most of the day, there are only a handful of Jiannu who can escape back to the desert alive.
Wang Pu nodded, and was about to give the order to collect the troops, when a faint sound of fighting suddenly came into his ears.
"Huh?" Nen Niang also heard the sound of the fight, and shouted in a coquettish voice, "It seems that someone is fighting in front." ”
Lu Liu listened sideways for a moment, and said categorically: "General, it's in the valley ahead." ”
"Let's go." Wang Pu waved his hand and said loudly, "Take a look." ”
Wang Pu and his entourage of twenty horsemen had just crossed the mountain beam when they saw the situation in the valley clearly.
I saw that seven Jiannu men were surrounding a woman who was attacking more than once, the woman was wearing a fiery red suit, with a graceful body and a healthy body, and she turned out to be a red lady!
The Red Lady and Li Yan have always been inseparable, but now that the Red Lady is here, where did Li Yan go?
Wang Pu looked at it again, only to find that there were dozens of corpses lying on the grass next to him, there were Jiannu and thieves, Wang Pu's surprise was not trivial, could it be that Li Yan had been poisoned by Jiannu?
At this time, the seven Jiannu men had also discovered Wang Pu and others.
These seven Jiannu men are none other than Haoge, Tan Tai, Leng Seng Ji and Haoge's four personal guards.
When he first escaped, Tan Tai and Leng Seng Ji took two hundred iron guards to escort Haoge all the way to the north, in order to hide people's eyes, both of them and Hao Ge changed into ordinary Jiannu clothes, but there were still thieves chasing and killing along the way, in order to lead away the relentless pursuers, Tan Tai and Leng Seng Ji could only continue to divide their troops.
When he finally escaped into Baishan Mountain, there were only a dozen iron guards left by Hauge's side.
At this time, Li Yan and the Red Lady and his wife caught up with Haoge and his party with more than 30 cavalry soldiers, Li Yan's situation was similar to Wang Pu, and because of the division of troops to chase and kill Jiannu, there were not many relatives left around.
Li Yan thought that this was just an ordinary group of Jiannu routs, and launched an attack without thinking, however, as soon as the two armies came into contact, Li Yan's personal soldiers let Jiannu pile down more than half.
When Li Yan was shocked, it was too late.
Because that valley is a dead valley, Jiannu has already guarded the valley mouth, Li Yan and they either abandon their horses and run over the mountain, or they break through Jiannu's barrier and kill out of the valley, the red lady immediately made a decision, let the remaining dozen or so personal soldiers protect Li Yan and escape over the mountain, and she stayed alone.
Haoge is a pervert, the most can't see the beauty, seeing the red lady Furong snow face, the body is fit, so he moved the evil thoughts, ordered to be caught alive, but was stabbed to death by the red lady one after another more than a dozen iron guards, Haoge was also stabbed in the thigh by the red lady with a sword, and could only lie aside and watch the battle.
However, there is only one person in the red lady after all, and no matter how high her martial arts are, she can't stand up to many people.
After stabbing to death more than a dozen Jiannu one after another, the red lady was finally exhausted, and when she was about to be captured, Wang Pu and her people arrived in time.
Tan Tai was the first to find Wang Pu and the others, and shouted: "Master, it seems that the reinforcements of the thieves have arrived!" ”
Leng Seng Ji also shouted: "Master, let's leave quickly, leave this woman alone, otherwise you won't be able to leave." ”
"His grandmother's." Seeing that the fat in his mouth was about to fly again, Haoge was so angry that his eyes were on fire, and at that moment, his eyes were full of murderous intent, and he shouted in a cruel voice, "The woman that this king can't get, others can't think of it, Tan Tai, Leng Seng Ji, and the four of you kill her!" ”
"Wow!"
"Wow!"
Tan Tai, Leng Seng Ji and the remaining four iron guards suddenly agreed, and immediately stepped up the offensive, changing the previous cat play rat's moves, the moves were all fatal killing moves, the red lady was already exhausted, this time it was even more dangerous, and soon, the red lady was stabbed in the left shoulder by Tan Tai's sword.
The red lady stumbled and sat on the ground at her feet, trying her best to stand up to Tan Tai's sword stabbed in the chest, but she no longer had the strength to resist the waist knife slashed by the cold monk machine.
Seeing that the red lady was about to be cut into two pieces by the cold monk machine's knife, she heard a loud bang, and the cold monk's body shook violently, and fell backwards, and the waist knife in her hand was raised, and it swept lightly from the red lady's head, just cutting off the head of a Jiannu iron guard.
The young lady killed the cold monk machine with one shot and saved the life of the red lady.
"It's not good, it's the musket team of the official army!"
Tan Tai was taken aback, turned around and left.
The remaining three Jiannu guards also hurriedly stepped forward to set up Hauge and tried to escape.
"Brothers, don't go one of them!"
Before the red lady fell into a coma, she saw Wang Pu rushing down the valley on horseback, and was directing more than a dozen cavalry officers to chase down those Jiannu who should kill a thousand knives.
■■■
I don't know how long she was in a coma, but the red lady finally woke up from the endless darkness.
The red lady instinctively wanted to sit up, but a sharp pain suddenly hit her left chest, and the red lady couldn't help but moan and fell back to the ground softly.
"If you don't want to die, don't move."
A very unceremonious voice suddenly sounded from behind the red lady, the red lady turned sideways with some difficulty, only to find that there was a person sitting not far behind him, with the faint light of the fire, the red lady saw the appearance of this person clearly, this person is no one else, it is Wang Pu, the general soldier of Datong.
"Mr. Wang." The red lady asked weakly, "Did you save me?" ”
"Nonsense." Wang Pu said angrily, "I didn't save you, could it be that the gods saved you?" ”
"Thank you." The red lady thought of Li Yan again after a while, and asked a little nervously, "Mr. Wang, where is this?" Have you ever seen my father-in-law? ”
(To be continued)
