Chapter 187: Great Achievement
The fire in the city, there is only one road in the city of Zhubokou Pass, that thousand total this fire, the road will be cut off, the soldiers of the first to pounce on it, not extinguished and found that there is also a fire behind, only to know that the remnants of the Ming army are still setting fire, the Ming army has already planned to burn the city, and there are almost no tile houses in the city, these grass houses are excellent fire sources, if you can usually organize people to slowly extinguish the Houtong guò, but now there is still a force of Dengzhou soldiers behind.
"Zhang Zhongqi, go and lead the horse! Help me bring it too. Taktan slapped the flames in front of him desperately, shouting at Zhang Zhongqi.
Zhang Zhongqi hurriedly agreed, he turned his head and just ran a few steps, he saw the noise of the gate, the tide poured into the chaotic crowd, the rear of a snapping gunshot, Zhang Zhongqi trembled, Dengzhou soldiers have arrived outside the city, has not figured out what to do, a cannon sounded outside, the tiles on the city tower flew horizontally, Zhang Zhongqi looked, the root can not get out of the city gate, no longer care to lead the horse, hurriedly shouted to Taktan, turned around and fled to the north gate.
The road has been cut off by flames, he turned around and went west into a grass hut, taking advantage of the fire did not come, he quickly cut open the wall built by tree branches, broke a small hole and drilled out, the fire has burned to the side, Zhang Zhongqi slapped out the fire on his sleeve, the next thatched hut is the wall of the mud embryo, the gunfire behind him was more and more intense, Zhang Zhongqi quickly turned over the mud wall, there was no one inside, Zhang Zhongqi directly kicked open the broken door, rushed out of the door, the fire on the street behind was not big, he ran all the way, Quickly ran through the short Guancheng street to the north gate, which has been opened, and some people in the pass are running out, some of the Houjin soldiers who ran over like Zhang Zhongqi, both sides did not notice in the panic, Jiannu and the daimyo people coexisted harmoniously for the first time, and fled together outside the north gate.
The south has already shouted to kill the heavens. The special horn sounded one after another, Zhang Zhongqi stopped at the north gate, he seemed to hear a horse chirping, and after seeing that no one was paying attention around him, he walked to a house to the east.
"Zhang Zhongqi, what are you waiting for, get out of the city quickly." Taktan had just run, and he ran a little later than Zhang Zhongqi, and half of his eyebrows were burned off. was smoky and burning, and when he saw Zhang Zhongqi, he stopped to greet him, Zhang Zhongqi hurriedly pulled him over and whispered: "Don't worry, the fire is up, and the Dengzhou soldiers can't catch up for a while." I heard a horse barking, let's go and see, we can't run away on foot, there is still a long way to go out here to reach Lingqiu. ”
"Got a horse?" Taktan asked in surprise, this Guancheng is in chaos, it is hard to imagine that there are still horses left.
Zhang Zhongqi took Taktan to a courtyard in the east, and the gate was closed. Tak Tan went up to the wall with Zhang Zhongqi, Zhang Zhongqi went up to take a look, the courtyard was full of chicken feathers and duck blood, and there was really a horse next to a tree. There are slip pockets and blankets on the horseback.
Zhang Zhongqi jumped in and opened the door, and the two ran to the horse excitedly, Zhang Zhongqi took out the knife on the horse and took a look, it was a good waist knife. There is still some food in the blanket, which is like timely rain for the two of them. At that moment, the two of them rummaged through the houses for a while, and found some food. Zhang Zhongqi led the horse out of the door, Tak Tan drew a knife to guard by his side, to prevent other armor soldiers from robbing, all their horses are in the south, where it is a pot of porridge, even if there is no fire in Guanzhong, if it is bitten by the Dengzhou soldiers, it can only give up the baggage, and it may not be able to escape. Now that they have been blocked by fire, they all know that the blue flag is finished.
For the two of them, it is unpredictable to escape back, but this is not the time to worry, at least they have to run out first, the current situation is even more dangerous than Luanzhou, at that time out of the city is the plains, but now it is still between the canyons, I don't know how far ahead, and the two don't even know the direction.
Zhang Zhongqi looked back at the direction of Zhubokou, thick smoke billowed in the city, and the gunshots in the south had already sounded......
Outside the south gate of Zhubokou, the mountains of clothes and people are fleeing, the organized resistance of the Houjin soldiers has disappeared, and a group of red Dengzhou soldiers lined up in a queue, crossed the mountains of wagons and baggage in the valley, and used platoon guns to eliminate the Houjin soldiers who were still resisting at the end, and some other squads chased the mountains on both sides.
Zhong Laosi abandoned his horse and came on foot, and the great achievement was about to be completed, and he couldn't help the excitement in his heart. After this Houjin soldier came out of Lingqiu, all the looting was here, and the seizure was also one of the criteria for Dengzhou's military merit, he now wanted a bigger achievement, he knew that Mang Gurtai was here, there was a fire in the city, no one of them could escape, even if they bypassed the mountain, but their horses could not pass, Dengzhou dragoons could easily block the mountain pass after waiting for the fire to be extinguished, and the Houjin soldiers who fled into the mountains had no way out unless they could really be wild boar skins, and there was no organized collective, They also have no way to walk back to Liaodong on their own, and they will eventually be doomed.
The long queue in front of them was lined up with guns, and the queue slowly moved forward, and so did the queue behind, and the two companies were like two waves.
Zhou Shao'er, who had just withdrawn, was beside Zhong Laosi, his first company served as an arrow, there was no room for replacement in the canyon, so he could only keep the first company in front, and hit the bamboo silk mouth until the terrain could be replaced, Zhou Shao'er was hit by two arrows, and the ambulance had just treated the wound, and the first company was damaged by more than half, which made Zhou Shao'er a little dissatisfied with Zhong Laosi's assault order.
Zhong Laosi grinned and said to Zhou Shao'er: "Thanks to this bamboo silk mouth, otherwise we won't be able to bite the Zhenglan Banner, this time the Zhenglan Banner will all be lost here, the most important thing, we can get Mang Gurtai, if it is handed over to Lord Chen, I don't know how happy Lord Chen is." ”
Zhou Shao'er glanced at Zhong Laosi, looked at the guards around him and said: "I said Deputy Battalion Officer Zhong, in the last Dengzhou shape analysis class, Liu Pojun said that the two yellow flags, the red flag and the blue flag should be attacked under the same conditions. ”
"We've already fought the yellow flag, aren't we all killed in the mountains?" Zhong Laosi was triumphant, "As soon as Mang Gurtai dies, the key attack requested by Lord Chen will be completed all the way." ”
Zhou Shao'er turned his head to look at Zhong Laosi, "Let's stay at the bamboo silk mouth after we finish fighting?" ”
"This place is good, with our muskets, the Tartars can't be beaten down much, the food and materials here are piled up, and you can also go from Wuwangkou to Fuping in Beizhili, you don't have to go down to Maguan to see the stinky face of the official, this is our new stronghold, give up the horse post." The reserve company there was transferred here, and the reserve division outside the Fallen Horse Pass was transferred to Fuping, and the materials were slowly transported away. After the dragoons cleaned up the battlefield, they sent suspicious soldiers with a flag team, Lao Tzu made more than ten guerrilla flags, and played the banner of our Dengzhou Town everywhere. In this way, Lord Chen's second requirement has also been completed. ”
Zhou Shao'er shook his head, this Zhong Laosi has a way of fighting, but he still didn't understand what Zhou Shao'er meant, and he didn't bother to talk about it at this time. Anyway, if you don't fight, you will fight.
There was another gunshot in front of him, and Zhong Lao pointed to the front and said, "Company Commander Zhou, if you look at our queue, you will never feel too rigid." ”
"This is all the formation of the musket detachment set by Lord Chen......"
"Lao Tzu knows that the battle formation of the detachment set by Lord Chen is only this one, but the detachment has few people, and now it has become a company and a thousand generals. It's not right to level it like this, there is also a spear formation or a mandarin duck formation behind the detachment, they can be in three rows, and we only have the main formation. It's not appropriate to still have three rows, and this formation can't be changed, in the battle of Matouguan, your first company was in chaos at the bridge. The second company in the back could also only be blocked there. ”
Zhou Shao'er glanced at Zhong Laosi, "What do you want to do?" ”
"I don't do anything. After Lao Tzu finished beating the bamboo silk mouth, he had to write to Lord Chen the improvement opinions of the dragoon and the whole musket thousand headquarters, and Lord Chen also had to build a battalion of all firearms, that is, three or four thousand people, and it was also pulled into three rows to be discharged two or three miles long, and you had to come to help when the time came, Lao Tzu hadn't figured out how to write it. ”
Zhou Shao'er hadn't agreed yet, there was a military horn ahead, and Zhong Laosi hurried over......
On the edge of a cliff two miles away next to the bamboo silk pass, the last group of white-armored soldiers gathered around Mang Gurtai, using bows and arrows to shoot at the surrounding Ming army. These elite Jurchen hunters could not play their strengths in this narrow valley, but were firmly suppressed by the range and power advantage of muskets, and although their individual combat skills began to prevail in the mountains, they were no longer useful for the overall situation.
As soon as the front broke the Guancheng, the Ming army behind appeared in the field of vision, and the life path and the chasing soldiers appeared at the same time, which caused the collapse of the Houjin armor soldiers and Baoyi, and everyone wanted to run into the Guancheng, but the fire was ignited in the Guancheng, and the Houjin soldiers who had lost order were lost, and many fled into the mountains on both sides, and the same was true for Mang Gurtai.
At this time, Mang Gurtai's face was dazed, he didn't expect the tail of the team to collapse so quickly, he was not familiar with the road after escaping into the mountains, and he walked to this dead place on his own in a panic. He fought all his life, most of the time invincible, but it was not that he was unwilling to flee for his life, he was beaten by a little-known young general Zhang Pan in the first Lushun raid in the Apocalypse, and defeat was not unacceptable to him.
But this failure is different, this is the interior of the Ming Kingdom, there are no horses and baggage, they can't go back to Lingqiu, the Dengzhou cavalry only need to close this canyon, and the Houjin soldiers have no supplies, it is not easy to cross the vast mountains. Mang Gurtai knew this very well, so he was already desperate in his heart on the way to escape.
He had already determined that it was Dengzhou Town at this time, and as if they had fallen from the sky, they had turned the perfect form around as soon as they appeared, and instead sent Mang Gurtai into a desperate situation.
There are more and more dazzling red figures, this bright red is more eye-catching than the red of the Ming army's border army, even in the white smoke after the salvo, it can be seen clearly.
These Dengzhou soldiers took advantage of the cover of stones, and fired a salvo in groups of more than ten people, although the white-armored soldiers tried their best to resist, but they couldn't withstand the other party's wave after wave, and the arrows were almost used up, and the flying tiger flag on the opposite side was getting closer and closer, and finally it was about to reach the last moment.
The head of Goshha knelt in front of Mang Gurtai, crying and asking him to break through, Mang Gurtai laughed and pushed Na Goshha away, "Your master is the son of Lao Khan, if you lose, you will lose, follow your master, let's fight with this Dengzhou Nikan." ”
The last dozen or so white-armored soldiers responded in unison, Mang Gurtai shouted, waved his knife and jumped on a stone in front of him, the opposite side of the fire flashed, Mang Gurtai's whole body trembled, and he fell under the stone in response, and the blood flowed under his body.
