On July 21, the 14th year of Chongzhen, the reinforcement army set off from Ningyuan. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Ningyuan went to Songshan Fort for more than 100 miles, and the army walked very cautiously, and the advance of Liu Zhaoji, the general army of Liaodong, was less than 40 miles away from the distance of Yang Guozhu, the general army of the strategy. Yang Guozhu's soldiers and horses were less than thirty miles away from most of the Chinese army. The slow march of the army is only a day's journey, and if the cavalry moves quickly, it is a matter of an hour or half an hour.

They also responded with cavalry, and in the event of an enemy, they could meet in one or two days. In the event of a strong enemy, the striker and the countervailer can also buy a day for the main force.

Sergeants of various accents in the brigade were walking on the land of western Liaoning, and each army had a lot of baggage in their vehicles, and behind most of the Chinese army, there were countless people, transporting grain and materials. All kinds of donkey carts, horse-drawn carts, mule carts, rickshaws, and even camels, etc., are dense and winding endlessly.

On the road, you can see sentry cavalry sergeants from time to time, as well as flag officers wearing green cotton cloth waist armor, wearing bright helmets, hanging tokens, and holding command flags.

Information from the front came from time to time, and on the second day, the forward soldiers and horses had passed through Gaoqiao Fort, and the soldiers and horses had also passed Tashan Fort. Here, the striker encountered some interception and harassment by the Eastern Sentinels, and was defeated by the outpost army one by one, beheading the eleventh rank.

Liu Zhaoji, the commander-in-chief of Liaodong, sent a report from Tang, Ma Buda thieves inlaid with red flags, 10,000 people with white flags, about thousands of armored slaves, and prepared a long ladder for shields, and was storming Xingshan Castle. The Akoyama defender is desperate for help from the forward, and the situation is very critical. Ask the Chinese army. Whether or not to go to support. Tang reported that the besieging army was not seen to have a Hongyi artillery car.

The Chinese army replied that if there were only a few thousand thieves in armor, they could go to help, and they needed to deploy sentry horses to prevent the thieves from setting up ambushes around Xingshan.

Liu Zhaoji's vanguard was about 10,000 people, including 3,500 cavalry in the main barracks, and their equipment was mostly cold weapons, such as horse lances. Boring palladium, riding guns, knives and sticks, etc. It is a hot weapon used by cavalry, and it also uses a three-eyed gun.

These three-eyed guns. They are all spiked with iron nails on the outside of the gun, like a three-eyed mace, which is sometimes better than a knife and stick in the face of heavily armored enemy troops.

There were also two battalions of chariots, ranging in number from 2,000 to 3,000, with a total of 200 chariots, each with 20 men, divided into two teams. All are two-wheeled light car style, with a cover plate in front and several spears under the front plate. It can resist war horses, many rockets on the car, Buddha wolf machine and other instruments.

The Liaodong army likes to use a hundred guns, such as a large tiger squat cannon and a nine-headed bird, which contains hundreds of leads, and can hit one hundred and fifty steps, regardless of the thick hard board and armor, it is difficult to resist. Therefore, in Liu Zhaoji's car camp, there are still a large number of Baizi guns.

In addition to the gunner, the gunner, in the past, used to use rockets. Three-eyed guns and other instruments, bird guns are rarely used. However, after Liu Zhaoji was assigned the 1,000 Jinggong East Road Bird Gun that he had pulled out to himself, there was a large amount of Wei Jin Zi Medicine, and the number of bird guns in the car camp greatly increased.

Liu Zhaoji is highly skilled. Immediately off the horse, the effort is good. You can also open the bow left and right, and shoot multiple arrows in one breath, which is quite brave. Moreover, as the general soldier of Liaodong, he was mostly stationed in Songxing Second Fort in the past, and in his heart, he wanted to rescue Xingshan Fort.

Besides, Liu Zhaoji is eager to make meritorious contributions, although he is the general soldier of Liaodong, his headquarters is not more than 10,000 people, and Wu Sangui, the general soldier of Ningyuan, has 20,000 Liao soldiers under his command, and there are 2,000 strong family members in it, more than his own family, and he has won the weight of Hong Chengchou, the governor of Jiliao, and if he does not show it, his position as the general army of Liaodong is not guaranteed.

After receiving the report from the Chinese army, Liu Zhaoji immediately decided to rescue, and to his delight, his subordinates were also inclined to rescue Xingshan.

In Liu Zhaoji's army, most of their family members were in Songxing, and they marched to force back many slaves and thieves, and most of the Chinese army was not far away, which gave them courage.

What's even more gratifying is that there are no more than 10,000 thieves besieging Xingshan, and there are only thousands of armored slaves, including their own rescue army, and even the defenders of Xingshan, the army has a total of 10,000 or thousands of people. Even if you can't destroy these enemies, it's still okay to support each other. …,

Therefore, everyone wanted to make meritorious contributions, and after Liu Zhaoji gave an order, the army rolled and rushed to Xingshan Fort.

Gaoqiao to Xingshan is only more than 20 miles, a high bridge, more than Pingchuan River in the four fields. At this time, it was already afternoon, and the heat wave was blowing, and there were large tracts of abandoned land everywhere, and everywhere was bare, and it was almost impossible to see green no matter up or down the mountain.

Under the long-term drought, the big rivers that used to be rolling waves are now not even small ditches, and the land is dry and hard, which is convenient for the army to walk.

At the moment of the great enemy, Liu Zhaoji did not dare to slack off, launched a chariot camp battle formation, and used cavalry to protect the two wings, and quickly rode to Yang Guozhu's department to respond, so that they could be ready to respond at any time.

Liu Zhaoji began to meet the battle column, and the troops would sweat under the scorching sun, their clothes and armor were soaked, but they did not dare to be a little contemptuous, and only maintained a strict battle formation and forced them to Xingshan.

Along the way, the sentinel cavalry in front of him continued to fight with the Qing cavalry, and Liu Zhaoji successively sent his family Ding Jing cavalry, which pressed the slave thief's reconnaissance line to shrink continuously. After the army crossed the Qili River, Liu Zhaoji received news that due to the strict reinforcements and the large situation, there was no opportunity to take advantage of it, and the thieves besieging Xingshan Fort had withdrawn their troops and gathered a few miles north of Xingshan.

Xingshan Fort was relieved, it was completed, the Liaodong army cheered, and Liu Zhaoji immediately announced the victory to Hong Chengchou, the governor of Jiliao. At the same time, there was a feeling that he was still unfinished, and he was ready for battle, but before he fired a single shot, he relieved the siege of Xingshan, and he was far from his desire to make great achievements.

Looking at his subordinates, they all looked like this, even the small army of soldiers had regrets on their faces, and several deputy generals and generals in the army were even more addicted to guerrillas. Everyone thinks that they should take advantage of the strong spirit of the army to start a fierce battle with the slave army in the north of Xingshan and capture some heads.

Liu Zhaoji hesitated for a long time, but he couldn't provoke the persuasion of the generals and decided to fight.

When he was two miles away from Xingshan Fort, Zheng Yilin, the deputy general stationed in Xingshan, saw that the slave army had retreated, and he also sent 3,000 men and horses out to join the army, and there were 1,000 cavalry inside, and everyone was even more courageous. So the army assembled and marched to the Qing army, but the Cheying infantry army was still in the middle, and the cavalry protected the two wings and pressed the Qing army north of Xingshan.

Less than three miles away from the Qing camp, the horns sounded everywhere, but when they saw the Ming army coming, they also started a battle queue.

The two sides continued to get closer, and saw a low rocky slope not far from the right, Liu Zhaoji ordered to seize the place, and deployed the cavalry on the mountain, while the infantry of the car battalion gathered in the wilderness at the foot of the mountain.

……

Under the scorching sun, next to the Shuai Banner, on the top of Liu Zhaoji's horse mountain, he looked at the position of the Qing army and saw them in a sea of flags. In front of the army were dense shield carts, followed by knights dressed in white with red trim and red with white trim.

He snorted coldly, this slave thief still has the same old-fashioned way of playing, using a shield cart in front, archers and gunners in the back, and dead soldiers and sharp soldiers, this kind of trick, he is too familiar with it. He looked at his family's position and was reassured.

His military formation was arranged, and the rejection wood was set up in front of the formation, and then the chariot was equipped with a large number of firearms such as Franc machines, rockets, and Baizi guns, as well as sharp Donglu bird guns and powerful medicines. Behind is the infantry army, layers of spears and broadswords and shields, and close to the hillside, the rear is worry-free, and there are cavalry guards.

More importantly, the sergeants under his command have many soldiers who have fought old battles with slaves and thieves, and they know their tactics well. For a while, Liu Zhaoji was looking forward to it.

At the sound of the horn, the shield cart of the Qing soldiers was pushed closer and closer, and they saw that there were wheels underneath and thick wooden planks in front of them, all covered with thick leather quilts, so as to cover the bullets. However, Liu Zhaoji disdains it in his heart, and the Franc machine and Baizi gun in his own car camp can penetrate these shield cars.

The Qing soldiers were getting closer and closer, the Ming army's position was in strict formation, and the generals' personal guards were also ordered to patrol, without waiting for the orders of the Chinese army, they were not allowed to fire guns and cannons for no reason, and the violators were beheaded on the spot. Those who dare to be fearful, and those who do not obey military orders, will be severely punished immediately. …,

Not to mention the official generals, Liu Zhaoji's subordinates, many of whom have many years of combat experience, have fought old battles with the Qing people, although most of the captives are pressing, they are not flustered, and most of them look calm.

When he was close to 300 steps, suddenly a cannon rang out from the Chinese army, and as the commander of the general army of a town, he watched the flag and listened to the order, and he was not embarrassed by the lieutenant general and the standard-bearer. Countless flag bearers immediately turned their heads to look at the top of the mountain, waiting for the commander's next decision.

At this time, the Qing army's position sounded the fierce war drums, countless nonsense shouts were everywhere, dense shield carts, and countless flags behind them, rushed towards the Ming army's position.

Liu Zhaoji's figure was on the horse, he was wearing thick iron armor, his face was calm, he just stared at the army of slaves and thieves, and he didn't give orders for a long time. Countless Ming officers and generals looked at the position of the Chinese army, just anxiously waiting for their own fate, the fate of the army.

When the dense shield cart rushed through two hundred steps, the flag of the Chinese army suddenly became urgent, and a terrible swan sound sounded, which spread throughout the entire Ming army front.

The guns of the Ming army car camp rang out in unison, and a large amount of dense white smoke produced by the burning of black powder immediately filled the front of the entire car camp under the illumination of the hot sun.

There was a loud sound of cracking the shield cart, and occasionally a mist of blood rose and the howls of the wounded. The oncoming shield carts of the Qing army were hit by the Franc machine bullets, and many shield carts were instantly pierced.

With a loud bang, the shutter of a shield cart suddenly exploded, and an iron ball directly pierced the heads of two Qing soldiers, and the remaining momentum was not exhausted, and it remained in the chest of a Qing soldier, rolling out with him.

The spray of flesh and blood mist, the high-speed movement of the iron ball, and the large amount of sharp debris produced after shooting the shutter, also swept through the surrounding soldiers behind the shield car.

These Qing soldiers, or lightly armored archers, or unarmored bannermen, clothed minions or something, have low protection. The sharp debris of the laser shot was like a powerful arrow, and their faces were covered with sharp fragments, and blood flowed immediately. Many people covered their heads and faces, howled in disbelief, or knelt on the ground and spasmed and trembled in pain.

The first layer of the car battalion shoots medium franc machines, shooting one or two catties of bullets, and these franc machine guns are almost all aimed at shield cars and hit flat.

If the shield car, no matter how thick the covering wood is, how thick the leather quilt is spread, it is also a dozen big holes, very protective plates, and even more incomplete, debris flying, the Qing army behind the shield car is either dead or wounded, a mess.
