Chapter 115: Torture

ps: I went to the hospital today to see a doctor, and I was not in good spirits after taking medicine, so I had to be late, forgive me. Thanks to everyone's support, we retained the top six in the category last month. Ask for a guaranteed monthly pass again. Thank you, guys.

There was a loud bang, a puff of white smoke rose in front of him, and the dirt and small pebbles in the sky flew in all directions, as far as dozens of paces away, and the cavalry behind stopped and turned their horses' heads one after another, so as not to be injured by the stones, and there was a small confusion in the queue.

After a little calm, a group of Bayala escorted more than a dozen Arima Yu Ding of various flags to step forward, let them open the way in front, this is a human minesweeper, as long as there is a slight pause, there is an arrow flying by, Yu Ding had to speed up, along the road to continue to move forward.

Yue Tuo was two hundred paces away, looking at the situation in front of him with a blank face. He is the chief general of the vanguard army, among which there are more than 500 Bayala of various banners, these elites wearing bright silver armor are very conspicuous, they are scattered in the queue, with different colors of back flags on their backs, or small flags hanging on the barrel of guns, representing their respective flags, these elites are where Yue Tuo's confidence lies.

Huang Taiji's plan was to secretly hide the army in Fuzhou, and then send a decoy in the direction of Xiuyan to lure the Jinzhou cavalry to the east, and suddenly gather 5,000 cavalry to rush to Jinzhou to block the Ming cavalry north of Jinzhou. Then the Houjin army then rushed to Jinzhou, learned to dig a pit like Jinzhou, and forced Chen Xin to relieve the siege. The strikers can also raid Nanguan according to the situation and seize the military rations there.

Yue Tuo thought at that time that it might be difficult to encircle, and there were many mountainous areas between Fuzhou and Jinzhou, and that area had almost become the territory of the Dengzhou soldiers, and it would definitely be blocked. So far, there has been no news from Xiuyan that the Ming cavalry is moving eastward, and Yue Tuo believes that the Ming army may have seen through this strategy, and they will not attack at will at this time. So Yue Tuo no longer waited for the Ming army to be deceived, but attacked directly from Fuzhou. High-speed straight to Golden State.

But he didn't expect that the other party would run with mines, which delayed him for a day, and the people in the army were panicked, and everyone was worried that the underground would suddenly explode. Dengzhou's mine artillery was fired by stepping on it, and the flint engine was ignited, and its reliability was much higher than that of the Ming army's steel wheels and panxiang, because it was disposable, and the workshop did not even use the bolts to fix the flint. A small iron box with an opening was made on the top of the dragon's head, and the blacksmith attached the flint to it.

There are also times when the flint hair is unstable, sometimes the front team passes guò and no one steps on the hair, but the back one is bombed. This kind of instability caused even more panic, and for a time it seemed that there was nowhere to be safe. Houjin came violently, but he lost his power in front of this small mine cannon.

Yue Tuo was unprepared for this, and he didn't know how many mines the Ming army had planted, which affected his decision, so he didn't dare to take these banners and armor soldiers to break through, and finally decided to make a detour. After the detour, he found that the number of mines was not very large, and he reached Golden State as much as he could. Ordered Yu Ding to go ahead and open the way.

Wolf smoke rose from the east direction, Yue Tuo's heart was a little anxious, his plan was to march for a day, and now it seems that he may not be able to reach it in two days. If you can't achieve a surprise attack. Many deployments will be difficult to carry out later, Dengzhou Town is flexible in operation, if they retreat to Lushun, then the Jin army will have to go more than 100 miles. And Lushun Genwei is not dead.

Such an all-division expedition belongs to a military strategy that emphasizes dà. It's not that Huang Taiji wants to come once, this time it took a month to just unify the internal thoughts, and then the banners dispatched men and horses and food, once this time can not achieve a decisive victory, then the next time to organize an attack on Lushun, the people of each banner will be even more suspicious.

Yue Tuo agreed with Huang Taiji's strategy, but also knew that the preparation process was not easy, Huang Taiji almost talked to more than 20 ministers, and finally formed an overwhelming advantage in the political conference, the victory at the conference that day, in fact, was the result of Huang Taiji's countless private compromise transactions, Huang Taiji's strategy is still to win over the middle level, suppress the two big Baylor. Yue Tuo persuaded Dai Shan many times to take the initiative to give up his qualification to sit down, but now Mang Gurtai has not lost power, and Dai Shan is not willing to give up the position of Big Baylor.

Now Yue Tuo only hopes that the Ming army is not well prepared, or judges hesitantly, so that the Houjin Striker can trap them in Jinzhou, this cavalry in Jinzhou is a scarce type of troops in Dengzhou Town, trapping them, Chen Xin will be in a dilemma.

Yue Tuo grabbed a banner and handed it to him, Bayala Zhangjing, "Then transfer Yu Ding out, the front is blown up and the back continues to go up, you can't delay the march, send Bayala to follow behind, and whoever is caught up by Bayala will be beheaded on the spot." ”……

Along the way from Pingyang River to Lushun, the fire road piers of Dengzhou Town face each other, Jinzhou, Nanguan, Thorn Needle Shop, and Muchangyi are all in the clear field, and the remaining alfalfa has been harvested. The grass and trees near Jinzhou were cleared early, and now even farther outside the city have begun to burn, and the grass and trees have been ignited, and the smoke is thick along the way.

Later, the Jin soldiers were more than ten miles away, and the official road was mined all the way by Dengzhou Town. After the Jin soldiers entered the mountainous area, their speed dropped greatly, but they only delayed for about half a day, made a detour and forced the march, and it was estimated that they would arrive at the city of Dengzhou in the afternoon. In addition, there is a road from the direction of Xiuyan, this road is not fast, the number of people is about 1,000 people. In fact, they appeared two days earlier than Fuzhou's Houjin Qianfeng, wanting to lure Zhu Guobin to attack eastward, and then

In the city of Jinzhou, at this time, there was already thick smoke, and all the places that could be lived in were burned, including the grain that could not be taken away, and the pollution of the water source had also been completed.

Zhu Guobin had already come to the south gate in front of the urn city at this time, and they also walked here when they entered the city, and they guarded it for a year and a half, but they gave up without fighting. He had already prepared for this, and he didn't feel any sadness when he left this place.

On the street at the gate of the city, several combat sappers are laying a broken stone slab, below is a hole opened, in which 10,000 bombs of mine guns have been placed, there are as many as three flint machines below, and a few wooden strips are put on the hole, and the middle of the stone slab is cracked, and anyone who steps on it will fall down and step on the mine.

Thunder cannons are also buried under other stone slabs and on the sides of the streets, connected by primers, all of which are lit in a chain through guò place. This is the largest mine in Golden State, with a gunpowder consumption of more than 50 catties, enough to fire a four-pounder cannon more than 30 times. This method of ignition is derived from the serial thunder of the "Fire Dragon Sutra", which has been tested many times by the combat engineer company, and the special service team is now very fond of using it.

Today's Rushan Iron Mine and Zhaoyuan Gold Mine have begun to use gunpowder to open mines, and these soldiers who were born as miners are familiar with it, and the company commander is the staff officer of the original Military Command Department. I like to do my own research, and I am taking this group of sappers to arrange all kinds of thunder artillery in Lushun, and there are only more than ten people here.

This was already the last place to be laid, and the staff officer of the battalion headquarters carefully noted down the location of the burial, and several sentry horses got on their horses and entered the urn city, and there was no one in the entire Golden State.

Two sentry horsemen ran in from the city gate, came to Zhu Guobin's side and said, "Report to the battalion officer, the Fuzhou Jiannu forward is already ten miles away. ”

Zhu Guobin looked back at the smoky Golden State. Then he asked the staff officer beside him, "Have the auxiliaries boarded the ship?" ”

"I have gone to Qingniwa to board the ship, and there is no news yet, there are only a few hundred people in total, and it is time for them all to board the ship now."

Zhu Guobin did not delay. Immediately clamp the horse, "Let's go!" ”

Two divisions rushed out of Cheng'en Gate, 600 cavalry rumbled through, this is the last remaining force in Jinzhou, now there are more than 1,300 people in the Dengzhou cavalry battalion, under the jurisdiction of two divisions and four bureaus, and also directly under the jurisdiction of a reconnaissance cavalry team.

More than a dozen sentinels set fire to the materials that could not be moved in the urn city. Then he chased the cavalry brigade to ......

The recuperated cavalry of Dengzhou Town walked slowly, and after marching ten miles, the first batch of Houjin Sentinel Cavalry appeared behind them, and they chased after them and followed them far behind. Zhu Guobin personally pressed the formation. The two divisions were in strict formation, alternately covering the evacuation.

After driving for two days, the Jin soldiers saw the fire everywhere, and they already understood what was going on, and their surprise attack was a failure. I was frightened all the way, and I was already holding a breath in my heart. The first leader of the team was the red-flag-inlaid Baya Layu Ezhen. He led five hundred red banner-studded Bayala and a soldier, and they followed him all the way. The Dengzhou sentinel cavalry spread out in the back, and the Houjin soldiers tested each other.

The smoke near Dengzhou was filled, and there was a hint of haze in his vision, Zhu Guobin could not accurately judge the number of Houjin cavalry, and the leader of the team accelerated the evacuation. After running for two days in a row, the horsepower of the gold was not as good as that of the Dengzhou soldiers, and the two sides ran for ten miles one after the other.

It is only ten miles away from Nanguan, there is no fire between Jinzhou and Nanguan, Zhu Guobin did not order the soldiers to burn the mountain, he hoped that the Houjin soldiers could follow Lushun. If you don't retreat back in Jinzhou, the visibility is much better at this time, and there are about 700 Houjin soldiers behind. The second division of the cavalry in response to Nanguan arrived, the Houjin soldiers stopped and waited for backup, the two divisions of Dengzhou Town covered each other and retreated to Nanguan, after confirming that the pursuing Houjin soldiers were only about 1,000, Zhu Guobin mobilized two battalions of cavalry to carry out a counterattack, and the Houjin soldiers faced a slightly larger number of Dengzhou soldiers, and did not dare to engage in battle, and were pursued by Zhu Guobin for five miles, and their morale was reduced a lot......

When Yue Tuo arrived in Jinzhou, he received the news of the failure of the rapid attack on Nanguan, and after the march in the past two days, the forward was highly nervous, and the physical consumption of men and horses was very large, and he needed to rest in Jinzhou.

He chose Ninghai in the west to enter the city, the city gate is intact, and two big holes were blown up on the street of Ninghaimen, and there were several corpses of people and horses on the ground, the horses' feet were broken and fleshy, the abdomen was bloody and blurred, and the intestines and internal organs and blood flowed all over the ground. Smoke billowed from the city, and the houses that had been intact were all caught in flames, and the smell of sulfur and fire oil wafted in the air, apparently as an accelerant added by the town of Dengzhou.

Meler Zhangjing, who entered the city first, accompanied him, and the two went up the city ladder to the tower of Ninghai Gate. Meler Zhangjing reported to him as he walked, "Master, there is no half of the stock in the city, and the larger houses are all set on fire, including those Dengzhou soldiers' own barracks, poisonous substances have been found in wells all over the city, and two people have been poisoned by thirst, and there are ghost arrows or boiled poisonous thistles at the corners of some lanes, and there are several people who are poisoned when they can't see at the corners. The most hateful thing about this group of Nikans is...... Mines were also planted in the city. ”

As soon as he spoke, there was a bang at the east gate, and Mele Zhangjing said angrily: "Master, this group of Dengzhou Nikans dare not fight in a dignified manner, and only use mines and artillery to harm people. ”

"If you can break Lushun, you can kill as much as you want." Yue Tuo didn't like to listen to the three words of mine artillery on the way, "When did the war have been dignified, but the mine artillery is indeed hateful, we are here, when the Great Khan personally led the troops, they have many carriages and horses, they can only take the official road, I don't know how he cleared the mine artillery." ”

While the two were talking, a roar sounded outside the city and inside the city, respectively, and the sound stimulated the vanguard soldiers and horses inside and outside the city. Namel Zhangjing's face was full of irritability, and he gritted his teeth for a while before he breathed down.

Yue Tuo comforted: "Actually, the power of this mine cannon is very ordinary......

Suddenly, there was a series of violent explosions at the south gate, the explosion points were so dense that they could barely be distinguished, the city tower where Yue Tuo and the two were shook gently, and the two hurriedly held the city dish with their hands, and when they turned their heads to look at the south gate, the bricks and stones were flying sideways, and the smoke and dust shrouded the entire city tower in it.

"Let's go check it out." Yue Tuo immediately sent Namel Zhangjing down the city tower, a few Goshha around him were talking in a low voice, Yue Tuo closed his eyes and shook his head gently.
