Chapter 110: Ambush
The real purpose of Huang Taiji's offense this time is to seize the Shanhaiguan Pass and open the northern gate to attack the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty, but he also knows that the Ming Dynasty is rotten again, after all, there are hundreds of years of heritage, and there are many people in the land, so he may not be able to take it all at once.
Hongshankou, one of the three major border fortresses, was successfully taken, but Da'ankou and Longjingguan were not taken because of the desperate resistance of the Ming army, and they did not take it at a great price.
He left two partial divisions to feint to attack Da'ankou and Longjing Pass, and personally led the main force to Hongshankou, and sent a special envoy to Hongshankou to inform Fan Wencheng first, asking him to leave some people to guard Hongshankou, and then lead the army to kill Hongshankou and attack Zunhua.
Fan Wencheng received the order, and immediately left 800 warriors and some logistics auxiliaries to guard the city, and led the main force out of the pass to kill the important town of Zunhua.
He stole joy along the way, Da'ankou and Longjing Pass failed to capture, on the contrary, he also lost his troops and generals, he took Hongshankou without blood, this credit is particularly great, and it is indispensable to add officials and become knights, and it is difficult to be happy. If you take Zunhua Town again, tsk tsk, the credit is so great that you can't imagine it.
was happy YY, suddenly heard a banging gunshot, riding side by side with him and burst his brother's head, splashing blood all over his face, scaring him so much that his mother screamed and fell off the horse.
The shot was fired by a sniper named Huang Da'an from the Wolf Battalion, who hid in a tree on the side of the road and fired a cold gun, and shot a heavily armored officer next to Fan Wencheng in the head.
He was secretly happy in his heart, his mouth was open and he couldn't close it, as soon as the gun rang out, he didn't know how much the reward was, and promotion was a sure thing, and he couldn't be happy or not. However, if he knew Fan Wencheng's identity and inadvertently let go of a big boss with the best equipment that would explode, he would definitely have the heart to die.
Before the expedition, all the snipers received a roster, with the names of more than N people written on it, all of them were boss-level characters of the Jin Empire, Huang Taiji was naturally ranked first, and the second place was Dol Roll and Fan Wencheng, and then there were his brothers, princes, and a bunch of other sons, etc., and there were various rewards corresponding to the back of the list, and the reward for the second target was a bounty of two thousand taels of silver, the third level of official promotion, the third level of promotion, and two beauties.
The title is a sign of status, but you don't enjoy it, Zhu Jian, who has always been stingy, is generous, if you dare to make meritorious contributions, this son of heaven will dare to give the title, come on, hurt each other.
This reward is so high that all the snipers are as excited as if they have been beaten with chicken blood, and they are all screaming with excitement, looking forward to their own good luck, killing one or two big bosses, so that they can be promoted to become rich and glorify their ancestors.
Huang Da'an was almost the first to win the BOSS-level grand prize, but he thought that the one wearing heavy armor was the big guy, and he missed the perfect opportunity to shoot Fan Wencheng in the head with one shot. Of course, the heavily armored officer who was shot in the head by him is Fan Wencheng's deputy, born with divine power, super strong martial arts, and has practiced the archery technique of a hundred shots and a hundred hits.
The sound of the gun is the order, as soon as Huang Da'an's gun rang out, the soldiers of the wolf battalion who were ambushed on both sides of the official road immediately lit the fuse, put the guns in table tennis, and the grenadiers also threw out grenades with wisps of green smoke one after another.
The dense gunfire was accompanied by a series of violent explosions, and the unsuspecting Jin army was shot down by a dense platoon of guns, and was even blown up by the Ming version of the long-handled grenade, which was unbearable to see.
"Enemy attack, enemy attack...... Evacuate ......"
Fan Wencheng lay on the grass and screamed, he was lucky not to break his hands and feet, and he was helped up by the guards in time, and he was not trampled into a meatloaf by the frightened war horse.
There is no need for him to shout and give orders, the Jin army who suffered a sudden attack was stunned, his reaction was very fast, and he had the heart to organize a counterattack, but the firepower of the Ming army was a little scary, and the frightened war horses jumped around, throwing off the owner on his back, and the iron hooves stepped down, and soon turned into meat cakes.
The entire official road was in chaos, and it was difficult to organize an effective counterattack in a short period of time, and the timid cannon fodder soldiers who were afraid of death had already scattered and fled, messing up the entire team, and some were so frightened that they ran in the wrong direction, or ran in front, or ran on both sides of the official road, and were shot and killed by the platoon of guns.
The sound of ping-pong gunfire and rumbling grenade explosions were still ringing happily, and the entire section of the official road was filled with choking gunsmoke, and was stuffed with corpses and horses of different shapes, many wounded and undead war horses were lying on the ground neighing, and the wounded soldiers were struggling and wailing, like a Shura hell.
Fan Wencheng broke his left leg when he fell off his horse, but fortunately, the soldiers sent to him by Huang Taiji were very dutiful, braving the rain of bullets and bullets to pick him up, and fled among the remnants of the rout.
"Brothers, kill."
Cao Bianjiao led the crowd to chase and kill, but he only pursued more than a mile before collecting the troops, and the results were very small, only shooting more than 20 wounded Jin soldiers, how could two legs run over a four-legged war horse, and the sky had begun to darken, and the soldiers were exhausted, and they also needed to take a good rest.
The soldiers of the wolf battalion partly cleaned up the battlefield, and partly set up camp on the traffic artery leading to the important town of Zunhua, blocking the possibility of the Jin army raiding the important town of Zunhua, this battle, killed more than 600 people of the Jin army, seized a small amount of booty such as swords and shields, more than 30 uninjured war horses and a large amount of horse meat, before rushing day and night, gnawing on the dry food of the march, this time you can enjoy a beautiful horse meat and horse bone soup.
Fan Wencheng led the remnants of the army to flee back to Hongshankou in embarrassment, and Huang Taiji also happened to arrive with the main force, so he couldn't help but be surprised, and hurriedly sent a large number of meticulous investigations to find out who was the commander of the Ming army who ambushed?
He was not surprised that Cao Bianjiao's wolf battalion ambushed Fan Wencheng's department, after all, the Ming court had guessed his strategic intentions, not only strictly ordered the guards at each checkpoint to strengthen their vigilance, but also sent reinforcements to reinforce them.
However, the Ming army that rushed to the aid of Hongshankou was a step slower in action because of the surrender of the general Zhang Wanchun, and could only hide outside the city, and it was not surprising that Fan Wencheng's department was ambushed, he was surprised by the combat effectiveness of the Ming army, which was very different from the Ming army troops seen in ordinary times, the firepower was very fierce, and the combat power was strong, and it seemed that the warriors of Dajin were not lost.
At this time, the sky was getting dark, and Huang Taiji had to order the city gate to be closed tightly, and the vigilance was strengthened to prevent the Ming army from attacking the army.
Later, the two partial divisions who stayed in Da'ankou and Longjingguan feints fled back in embarrassment, making him so angry that he almost ordered the two main generals to be dragged out and chopped off, but fortunately, the ministers pleaded hard to save the guy who ate on his neck.
Of course, Huang Taiji didn't really want to cut people, he just threw the pot to these two unlucky guys, this invasion of Daming was a failure, and nearly 4,000 people were lost, although most of them were cannon fodder, but cannon fodder also had the role of cannon fodder.
There are only more than 1,000 Dajin warriors with casualties, plus a fierce general, which doesn't seem to be much, but if it is calculated according to Dajin's population base, it is really a considerable loss.
