Chapter Ninety-Five: The Battle of the River Crossing The Khan King beats the drums
The cannon was fired happily, it was really happy, and the scene of the Ming soldiers turning over on their backs was happy for anyone to watch. However, when I was happy, I didn't pay attention to the medicine.
A cannon without medicine has a fart! The burning stick can still be carried away, can these thousands of pounds of things be carried away?
Tong Tulai was so angry that he slapped Zhang Guochen, the chief soldier of the artillery battalion, twice, and scolded: "You dog slave, we brought so many medicines, how could we all run out!" ”
Tong Yangxing was also shocked and angry, seeing that the cannon was powerful, Dajin was going to win this battle, but he didn't think about making trouble in the eyes, didn't he make a fool of himself in the Khan King? !
Angry, he had to pull out his saber, put it on Zhang Guochen's neck, and said viciously: "Say, I can't say it, my lord slashed you with a knife!" ”
The knife was on his neck, and his forehead was full of black and blue, which frightened Zhang Guochen and stammered: "Spare your life, spare your life!" …”
"I ask you, where is Yaozi!" Tong Yangxing was too lazy to listen to Zhang Guochen's nonsense, kicked him to the ground, and took a step, this time the tip of the knife was directly against his chest.
Zhang Guochen gasped and hurriedly said: "I don't know, our Dajin doesn't produce medicine, the medicine was bought from Shanxi merchants in Mongolia, and it was originally set at 10,000 catties, but Shanxi couldn't supply so much at one time, only 3,000 catties were transported, and the rest will be cleared next year." When the cannon was first made, the following had to test the cannon, and hundreds of catties were used, and the rest of the minions were all transported according to the meaning of the forehead, and now they are gone, no wonder the minions! ”
Hearing this, Tong Yang was stunned, and then remembered that he was in a hurry, and he was the one who purchased gunpowder from Shanxi merchants, and he promised to give it to Qing in batches. Now that the medicine is not enough, how can Zhang Guochen be blamed for them.
Without medicine, the Ming army has to cross the river again, what should I do?
Tong Yangxing looked at the cannons lined up and was at a loss, the copper cannon was easy to pull, but the red-clothed general's cannon weighed more than 3,000 catties, and it took a lot of effort to pull it from Shenyang, how could it be pulled away immediately. If you don't pull it away, this Ming army is about to rush across the river, and the cannon will definitely fall into their hands!
In his heart, Tong Yangxing regarded these cannons as a pimple in his heart, and he really couldn't bear to give them up. But it was too late, and if it was not withdrawn, not only would the artillery be gone, but even the more than 1,000 gunners would fall into the hands of the Ming army. When the time comes, what will he use to cast the cannon again, and who will he call to fight when it is finished!
"Uncle, what should I do?" Tong Guolai was also as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, but the Ming army on the opposite side had already crossed the river, and if my uncle didn't come with a charter, it would be too late!
Look at the cannon, look at the Ming army, Tong Yang's face changed rapidly, and finally made up his mind, gritted his teeth and said: "The cannon stays, let's withdraw!" ”
As soon as the words fell, he saw the twelve Bel Azig leading a group of red-flaged generals and colonels hurriedly over, "E, you immediately arrange for someone to pull the cannon away, and it must not fall into the hands of the Ming army!" ”
Tong Yang was stunned for a moment, and blurted out: "Twelve Baylor, the Ming army is about to cross the river, we can't pull this cannon away!" ”
"What are you afraid of!"
Azig was fierce and roared: "The forehead is a cannon, and the Ming army will be stopped by me!" As long as I have a red flag and a soldier, the Ming army will not be able to cross the river! ”
As soon as the words fell, he shouted again: "Erke, Tunbulu!" ”
"The minions are here!" Erke and Tunbulu responded in unison.
Azig didn't look at them, waved his hand, turned over and got on his mount, and threw down the phrase "Lead your minions with me!" With a whip of the horse, he led the Goshkha to kill the Ming army who crossed the river.
"Protect the master!"
Huri was worried about Azig's safety, so he shouted, and led his more than 200 white armor to swing his teeth and hurriedly followed.
There are more than 3,000 remnants of the red flag who retreated across the river, thanks to the majesty of their own cannons, this will revive their morale, and see that the flag master is the first soldier, one by one as if they were beaten with chicken blood, and the ghost screamed and pounced on the Ming army who crossed the river.
Seeing this, Tong Yangxing did not dare to delay, and hurriedly ordered Tong Guolai and Zhang Guochen to quickly arrange for someone to pull the cannon.
…………
The Xiaoling River, also known as Jinshui, is fifty or sixty miles long, the upstream meets the Daling River, and the downstream rushes to the sea. The widest point is nearly two miles, and the narrowest point is only more than 100 meters. The water area flowing through Changshan is not too wide, about a mile long, and the river is not deep, and the deepest part is only half a waist deep. There is a stone bridge on the river, which is supposed to connect the two banks and is convenient for passing people, but no one on the two sides of the war has ever hit the bridge. Because the bridge was too narrow, it couldn't hold many people. If you cross the bridge, you can only die in vain, the people in front can't get through, and the people behind don't want to pick it up.
There was no need to give an order at all, the Ming army all went down the Xiaoling River, the bridge was empty, and no men and horses crossed it.
No longer threatened by the artillery fire of the Jin army, although I don't know why the Jin army no longer fights. Cannons, but the courage of the Ming army was undoubtedly a little stronger, Zhang Chun judged the situation, ordered the discarding of the damaged chariots, concentrated more than 1,000 chariots and redeployed in front of the formation, more than 20,000 firearms and crossbow soldiers stepped across the river like a tide.
The art of war has clouds, and it strikes half-crossing.
In order to prevent the Ming army from crossing the river, the Jin army had to attack halfway.
There was no need for Huang Taiji to pass an order, and Azig also knew that his own red flag must be intercepted across the river.
After the horse's hooves were launched, there was a splash, and as more and more cavalry went into the water, the water of the Xiaoling River was suddenly chaotic, and the fish and shrimp in the river scurried around like frightened rabbits, and from time to time you could see a few carp jumping on the water.
"Jiannu is coming up, brothers prepare!"
Wang Zhiku spat and clenched the broadsword in his hand hard, and in his sight, the soldiers who had finished loading had already raised the firearms in their hands.
When you meet on a narrow road, the brave wins!
The Jin army and the Ming army once again staged a great battle of brave men on the Xiaoling River, which was less than a mile wide.
The Ming army was too numerous to be stopped by the red flag alone, and the Ming army could not be stopped by big arrows, and the only way for Azig was to tear open the mouth of the Ming army again and cause them to collapse, as before.
It takes courage and guts.
Azig was not a reckless person, he believed that after the Ming army was bombarded by artillery, everyone must have been frightened, this would just be a strong breath, as long as the red flag was inlaid at all costs, regardless of the cost of rushing at them, the momentum of the Ming army crossing the river will inevitably be effectively curbed. As long as the blue flag and the white flag catch up, the Ming army will definitely retreat!
"Wow Ulu!"
The war horses were accelerated, and more than 3,000 cavalry were inserted into the Ming army with the banner of the banner owner.
"Knock knock, knock knock"
Suddenly, the sound of fierce war drums sounded behind him, and Azig subconsciously looked back, and two miles away, the banner of the Khan King was marching here, and the drums were obviously coming from the big tent.
Without thinking about it, Azig shouted excitedly: "King Khan has beaten the drum for us, King Khan has beaten the drum for us, and the warriors who are not afraid of death will rush forward!" ”
"The King of Khan has beaten the drum for us, the King of Khan has beaten the drum for us!"
The sound of the drum reverberated in the heartstrings of each golden soldier with red flags, and the war horse under him ran faster, and the long knife in his hand was also held tighter.
Two miles away, under the big drum carried by sixteen big men, Huang Taiji looked ahead with pride, and the drum hammer in his hand was sonorous and powerful.
