Chapter 32 Ao worships Wenlong
Chapter 32 Ao worships Wenlong
According to Xiong Tingbi's order, Long led the army to the sea, just as Xiong Tingbi had calculated at the beginning, and arrived at Xiahe in three days. After the landing, Wenlong left 2,000 soldiers to guard the warship, and the rest of the soldiers followed the landing. Naturally, you have to bring all the muskets you bring, and because it is more difficult to consign, you bring ten guns to land. Wen Long did not let the warships anchor on the shore, only let them stay on the river, this was in case of a sudden attack by the Tartars.
After resting overnight on land, Wenlong's troops advanced north, heading straight for Hetuala.
The name of the place where they landed is not known, it is the place where Dandong and Tonghua meet, and the name at that time is impossible to verify. As a Dandong native, I don't know the specific name of this place, and after checking for a long time, I can't find the name of the place, so I can only give up. At that time, advancing north from here, there was a Tartar stronghold, called Sentu Fort, and this place, guarded by Tartar soldiers, there could be more than 300 people.
With such a few people, even if they defend the city of earth, how can they stop Wenlong's troops. On the artillery, the first artillery bombardment, the earth fort was blasted open, the Ming army attacked forward, Wenlong's army, not all infantry, there are also a thousand cavalry, cavalry in front, infantry in the rear, it is easy to capture the forest fort. But they did not completely annihilate the enemy here, who called the Tartar soldiers were mostly cavalry, and seeing that they could not be defeated, more than 100 people fled.
The place where these people fled, called Wuyebao, was a large stronghold of the Jurchens in Liaodong. This stronghold is the largest earthen fort along the Yalu River, and at this moment, the ten Niu Lu led by the general Ao Bai with the yellow flag are here. One ox is three hundred, and ten oxen are three thousand.
When the news was reported to Ao Bai's ears, Ao Bai immediately became excited, he did not enter the customs with the army, he was in a panic, his task was just to block Wenlong's men and horses, and now Wenlong is finally here, and it is finally his turn to do it himself.
Don't look at your own few people, but Ao Bai has no fear, as a Jurchen warrior, to fight more with less, it can be described as commonplace, what is it, the Ming army has no combat power, Wen Long's troops, the same, don't look at nothing old to make trouble here, but it is also a small fight, whenever Allah comes, Wen Long will flee to the sea first, Jurchen has no sailors, so they can only look at the ocean and sigh. This time, Wen Long dared to enter the Jurchen hinterland, which happened to be a great opportunity to teach him a lesson, what's wrong with you, the soldiers have no combat effectiveness, compared with my Eight Banners Iron Cavalry, it is far worse, only to be beaten.
Therefore, Ao Bai immediately sent troops, 3,000 cavalry, and went straight to the direction of Sentubao.
The owner of the island actually talked about that when the Tartar made a detour to enter the customs, he would definitely leave soldiers and horses behind to block the sneak attack of him and the soldiers and horses of Shanhaiguan. However, Wen Long knew in his heart that there would not be too many people and horses left behind by the Jurchens, especially the soldiers and horses who resisted him. Don't look at the Jurchens to annoy themselves, but they have never taken the combat effectiveness of their troops seriously. Wenlong has made sufficient preparations this time, just to try to tartar himself.
During the march, Wenlong's troops were all on guard, and their ears were erected, and everyone understood that the Tartars were cavalry, and when they came, there would naturally be a heavy sound of horses' hooves. The troops are moving forward, and all of them have this side of the territory, the terrain is rugged and difficult to walk, but it is suitable for the infantry to advance, and the cavalry is galloping here, which will reduce the mobility. However, this place is very suitable for ambush.
When entering this place, Wenlong's righteous son Shang Kexi said that this place is very easy to ambush, and he hopes that Wenlong will be careful and vigilant. Ke Wenlong just smiled slightly, and said: "It's okay, I won't set up an ambush here when I talk about the Tartars, they are waiting for us at most in the pioneering place in front, here, it's very safe." â
In fact, as Wenlong expected, in this difficult road, not a single Tartar was found, and the army passed smoothly. The terrain in front of him gradually became gentle, and at this time, Wenlong ordered the troops to camp and rest, and not to leave.
At present, there is no time, under normal circumstances, at least when you have to go to Shen, you can stop, Wen Long camped a whole time early, which made his soldiers quite puzzled.
Not to mention that Wen Long's men didn't understand what was going on, and they didn't know what was going on in Ao Bai, who was waiting for them fifteen miles away.
Ao Bai did not set up an ambush in a rugged place, that is because he has few people, and he set up an ambush there, although he can catch the Ming army off guard, but it will not take too much advantage, after all, the Jurchens' ability is all on the horse, once the ambush is set, they must abandon the war horse, and then fight with Wenlong's people, the enemy is outnumbered, how to win.
Therefore, Ao Bai decided to abandon this favorable terrain and wait for the Ming army in an open area twenty miles ahead. Giving up twenty miles is enough for the Jurchens to rush and kill, don't look at three thousand and tens of thousands, and they will not fall behind. No, Wenlong only walked five miles, so he didn't leave anymore and set up camp.
Ao Bai got the report of the scout, and he didn't understand why the Wenlong Department set up camp in advance, so it stands to reason that he should at least go for another hour. After thinking about it for a while, Ao Bai suddenly felt relieved, he thought that it must be the Ming army who felt very tired after walking through that rugged place, and also rested and camped to rest.
Thinking of this, Ao Bai sneered in his heart, it seems that Wenlong's troops are really nothing more than that, they can't walk after walking such a little way, and they can't talk about fighting.
Aren't you tired and don't go, okay, I'll look for you.
Ao Bai ordered that there was no need to bury the pot to make rice, so as not to be discovered by the Ming army, just eat some dry food, and it would be fine. Tonight, the night attack on the Ming army camp, kill Wenlong on his back and turn over alone, wait, let's drink wine and eat meat.
When it was nearly three watches, Aobai's soldiers and horses rushed towards Wenlong's camp.
The Tartars sent troops, but there was really no such thing as Wu Sinan robbing the camp, secretly, people and horses picking bells, that was nothing, the horses' hooves burst, and they pounced on the camp of the Ming army.
In front of the camp gate, there were horse antlers, and when they got close, some Jurchen soldiers dismounted and removed the antlers, and then rushed directly in. There was no obstacle in the camp, and the Jurchens didn't even see a single Ming army, and they easily killed the big tent of the Chinese army. There was a dim candlelight in the tent, and it seemed that someone was sleeping on his stomach on the handsome case, and he didn't know who it was, so he shouted, "Let me in, capture that person, and see if it's Wenlong!" â
Some soldiers hurriedly took the order and rushed to the tent, only to find that the person lying on the table was nothing more than a scarecrow.
"General! That's a straw man! The soldier shouted.
As soon as he heard this, Ao Bai immediately realized that he had fallen into a trick. Immediately turned the horse's head and gave the order to retreat, but there was still no time. At this moment, I suddenly remembered a cannon sound, accompanied by the sound of cannons, and the sound of the Ming army's shouting and killing sounded in all directions.
"Rush!" "Kill!" âŚâŚ
At the same time as the shouting of killing, there was also the sound of feather arrows cutting through the air, "whoosh" ...... "whoosh"......
Like raindrops, the feathered arrows fell from the sky, and countless Tartars were hit by the arrows and fell from their horses, making a terrible scream.
"Retreat! Evacuate! â
Seeing that the situation was not good, how could he still have the heart to fight, and ordered the soldiers to flee along the long road as soon as possible. The Tartars turned their horses, and the rear team marched forward, but before they could get up and rush out, they saw a group of officers and soldiers suddenly pouring out from both sides, and these officers and soldiers were armed with firearms, "bang bang bang" ......
A barrage of gunfire rang out, and the Tartars at the front fell in one piece. But the Tartars still knew a lot about firearms, and knew that after one blow, they would have to reload them, which was very troublesome, and they couldn't finish loading them until they rushed closer.
The Tartar soldiers hurriedly urged their horses and charged forward, and the Ming soldiers on the opposite side, who did not seem to be too panicked, squatted down, followed by a series of gunshots again.
"Bang ......"
The soldiers in the back row, after the shot, hurriedly squatted again, and behind them, there was a row of soldiers. The soldiers of the third row of "Bang ......" were not polite, and then lit the fire rope, and the projectiles flew out, knocking down another group of Tartar cavalry.
The three rows of musketeers finished firing and fled to both sides as fast as they could. Behind them, there are also Ming soldiers, these soldiers, have set up a formation, in front of the shield, next to the shield, stabbed out of the spear, this formation, in the fight against the cavalry impact, is also quite effective, but it depends on the number of enemies.
The Tartars were beaten to the ground by three rows of firebolts, and hundreds of people fell under their horses. The Tartars in the back, if they want to rush forward, it will not be easy, because there are still war horses left by the dead Tartars in front.
This kung fu, on the left and right sides of the tartar, there was another "bang bang" gunshot. The guts didn't seem to see it, and the people who came from there on both sides fell down a lot.
It turned out that Wen Long had already guessed that the Tartars would come to rob the camp at night, so he prepared in advance. The tents in the camp tent were very learned, and there was a passage in the middle to go straight to the big tent of the Chinese army, which seemed to be specially prepared for the Tartars. On both sides of the passage, there are dense tents, and the gap between the tents is not particularly large. The Ming army hid behind the tents, holding fire guns, because the Tartars were so concentrated that they basically didn't need to aim to hit the enemy. Projectiles could pass through tents, but the Tartars could not see the Ming troops behind the tents on both sides.
Behind the tent, there were also archers in ambush, and the archers only had to throw them, and the bows and arrows would fall from the sky and rain down on the heads of the tartars.
The Tartars have always been known for their strong impact, but they are helpless when they encounter such an ambush. Now the Tartars are all gone, the horses are blocking the way forward, there are tents all around, and there are fire bolts behind the tents, and it can really be said that they don't even have the strength to fight back.
When Ao Bai saw this situation, he was also stunned, he has always been like a raging fire, and he is a famous warrior in the Jurchen clan who dares to kill and rush, but he is restrained in front of him, where does he rush?
