Chapter 169: Feeding War with War
A.D. April knife day, sunny, tomorrow Qi six years old Bingyin year March 24, flying star breaking army, star host nine, should be sacrificed, travel. Happy God in the northeast, not three moments for the zodiac auspicious time.
From time to time, in the camp of the Liaodong Army in Jinzhou, Na Haonan personally spoke to the disciples of the Wutang Cavalry Department for Major Zhan Zengyong, Captain Shen Xiufang, Captain Du Yongchen, Captain Wang Yuanlong, etc., and encouraged and mobilized them for this expedition.
Not yet. Deng Haonan scraped the words for 10,000 black-armored elite cavalry in the military field of Beicheng School, three drums of morale, and personally awarded the Liaodong Army black-armored elite cavalry Xiulong military flag.
In less than three moments, Deng Haonan took the stage to offer wine to the sky and flags, and the cannon sounded three times, and the army was mobilized.
The reason why it is so exciting is that the people of the Haonan Group have no bottom in their hearts, although they are only attacking and harassing, and they do not want to confront the Shoe Banner Army head-on. It's just a three-light policy of burning, killing and looting. Forced Nurhachi to return to the division. But after all, it was a smashing land battle, and these generals who grew up by the sea were all big girls who went to the sedan chair for the first time, and they didn't dare to make conclusions about the effect.
Ten thousand black-armored elite riders, black pressed like a black python winding and moving. The cavalry armor reflected a black glow in the sunlight.
The banner was unfurled, and the high red tassels on the helmet shook with every jump of the war horse. Every cavalryman wore a black cloak, and under the blowing of the abandoned wind, he whirred and floated.
These cavalrymen, armed with swords and spears, were both nervous and excited in their hearts, although it was the first time they had gone on an expedition. Perhaps the godson is powerful in their eyes. However, when I looked at the steel armor and other protective gear on my body, the feeling of fear was gradually diluted.
Na Haonan told them at the pledge meeting. Your weapons are sharper than those of Le, and your armor and shields are harder than those of your godson, and if you are fiercer than the leptons, you are the strongest.
The army went out of the northern city and took the west road of Xiaoshan Mountain.
Due to the high morale of all the soldiers of the Black Armor Elite Cavalry, they ran for more than 80 miles on the first day, went out of the Zaguguan outpost, crossed the Shahe River that night, and rushed to the Fuzhou Health Office.
Fuzhou City is located in Fuzhou Town, Wafangdian City, which is the only remaining east gate of the ancient city of the Ming and Qing dynasties in Dalian, and the east city wall and the south city wall are about many meters. In the fourth year of the goose in Yongle in the Ming Dynasty, it was built on the site of Liaojin Tucheng and changed to a stone city. Qing Dynasty Qianlong forty-five years, the brick city was rebuilt in the year of masonry, it is square, the circumference is four meters, the wall is 8 Wu meters high, and the width is Wu rice. Gate three. The east is called Mingtong, the south is called Yingen, and the north is called Zhenhai. There are semi-circular urn doors in front of the door as a barrier. The existing Dongcheng Dan. In the year of the valve, the Later Jin soldiers took Fuzhou City. and ruined the city of Fuzhou.
Fuzhou Wei has shoes, two cattle records, and six hundred light soldiers. They were not stationed in the city of Fuzhou. Rather, it is near the sheep fort at the mouth of the Sand River. Because the opposite side is Changsheng Island, when Mao Wenlong opened the Dongjiang River in the past, he occupied the small islands on the periphery of the Liaodong Peninsula. In order to prevent Mao Wenlong from landing, Lezi relied on the estuary to station, and by the way captured some Han people who tried to escape by sea.
The situation of Fuzhou Wei, Zhan Zengyong and others have learned about it through the sentinels of Jigu Pass.
Zhan Zengyong ordered the whole army to wrap the hooves of the war horse in cloth, and the horse's mouth was also covered with a chew to prevent the war horse from making a sound, so that it was not easy to find it prematurely when attacking.
Under the moonlight, 10,000 black-armored elite horsemen were divided into ten teams. Captain Shen Xiufang led two thousand black-armored elite cavalry to charge from the front. Captain Du Yongchen led 1,500 black-armored elite cavalry to detour from the left side, and Captain Wang Yuanlong led 1,500 black-armored elite cavalry to outflank from the right side. Major Zhan Zengyong led the Chinese army's 5,000-strong team to ambush on the north bank of the Shahe River, and led his godson to launch a charge of the whole army when he crossed the river. Be sure to encircle and annihilate them all in one fell swoop.
War horses galloped like a flash flood.
When he was close to Lezi about a mile, the godson only noticed.
In a panic, the two Niu Lu of the shoes hurriedly turned over and got on the horse, and one of Niu Lu prepared to organize a battle. The other Niu Lu stopped it.
"The enemy is strong, and the black pressure is overwhelming, I am afraid that the number is huge, and the enemy can not be attacked by our strength! And the enemy army is attacking at night, I am afraid of deception, retreat!"
That Niu Lu was right to think about it, at this time the enemy's war horse had accelerated to the fastest, and his own side had just got on the horse, and without the speed of the war horse, it was inevitable to suffer a loss when fighting the enemy.
Therefore, the two urgently ordered the six hundred godsons to retreat.
However, as they feared. The speed of the black armor spirit has already risen, and the distance of one mile, by the time Lezi gets on the horse, he has already killed closely.
"Kill!"
Captain Shen Xiufang, riding a war horse, gave the order to throw javelins first.
Whoosh!
A heavy sound of breaking the air sounded, and the two thousand black-armored elite horsemen led by Captain Shen Xiufang, with the speed of the war horse, leaned back their right arms to give force, and almost simultaneously threw the javelins in their respective hands.
The godson received the order to retreat, and they all slammed the horse's belly. The horse ran slowly, before it could accelerate. He was hit by an overwhelming array of javelins.
In an instant, the screams were stacked. The one-meter-long javelin, when it fell, the powerful inertia penetrated the godson's cotton armor and passed directly through the chest. Some even wore sugar gourds with people and horses. The horse stumbles. People turn on their backs.
Ordinary people throw javelins just over thirty meters away. The cavalry on the horses threw javelins of more than fifty meters. And it's powerful. Even if he didn't shoot the centaurs, he still trembled violently after digging into the earth. The hum was heard both clearly and discreetly in the darkness.
A javelin flew by, and more than 100 people who ran behind Lezi were all shrouded in the killing range of the javelin, and no one survived, and all of them were killed on the spot. Only a few horses neighed.
At this time, Captain Shen Xiufang had galloped to the front of the Miaozi camp with the black armor elite horseman. Although the camp for tarts is simple, there are also horses that are blocked.
It's just that the shoes have never seen the cavalry of the Ming army dare to compete with them, and there is no cavalry of the Ming army on the Liaodong Peninsula, so the rejection of the horse is short and simple, and it has been lost
Captain Shen Xiufang's horse approached, he suddenly lifted the reins, clamped the horse's belly with his feet, and the war horse was in pain, and flew up when he boarded, easily passing the rejection of the horse.
The black armor spirit riders in the back also have this kind of practice, and the morale is high at this time, and the 10,000 black armor spirit horses bully six hundred lezi, which makes them lose the tension in their hearts, and they are all excited. Therefore, the subjects that are usually practiced can be played normally, and one by one they easily crossed over and threw themselves into the camp of the godson.
At this time, the remaining godsons had already run out from the other side of the camp.
The two Shoe Niu Lu saw the amazing momentum of the large number of cavalry behind them, and they suddenly felt a chill in their hearts. Secretly said: This is the cavalry that came out of there? It's so powerful!
However, before they could think about it, the black-armored spirit riders who were chasing after them had already prepared a second javelin. Throws when waiting to get close to an enemy.
When the two Niu Lu looked at it, they were immediately scared, knowing that they couldn't run straight, wouldn't that be a live target for others?
Dodging the javelin can only run to both sides!
So the two, Niu Lu glanced at each other, and respectively turned their horses to run to the sides, while Lezi separated the two teams and followed Niu Lu.
However, at this time, something depressing came to them.
The two black-armored elite cavalry led by Captain Du Yongchen and Captain Wang Yuanlong had already rushed from the left and right flanks of Lepton, and on each side were 1,500 black-armored elite cavalry, which were like ten thousand horses galloping in the dark night, and they could not fly out.
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
War horses gallop. Stepping on everyone's nerves.
The same javelins were the first to skim the javelins, and the javelins that flew all over the world killed sixty or seventy godsons again. The two Niu Lu were then forced back, turned out, and turned back, and were caught up by Shen Xiufang behind them.
Whoosh!
When the heavy sound of breaking the air sounded, the spirit of the godson collapsed.
Before the javelin fell. Many godsons began to howl wolf howls, their voices trembling and frightened.
Puff puff!
Fate is predestined, fear is useless!
With the heart-rending screams of the more than thirty godchild soldiers at the rear, the Lezi soldiers in front of them jerked their horses and ran madly.
In just ten minutes, one of the shoes has been killed. Niu Lu's cavalry was all brutally pierced to death by javelins. Occasionally, there were those who did not die on the spot, and they were soon made up by the black armor spirit rider with several knives, and the flesh and blood flew sideways. In the end, it was trampled into meat sauce by the iron hooves of the war horse.
It's better to be worn to death all of a sudden!
Left and right, behind are unknown enemies. The two Niu Lu were chased by three armies with the remaining godson cavalry, which were less than 300 people, and fled to the battlefield according to Major Zhan Zengyong's predetermined battlefield. When the enemy is attacked, the instinct will be to cross the river, and as long as the river is crossed, there will be no pursuers.
Undoubtedly, the two Niu Lu in front of him also thought the same.
However, what they didn't expect was that the sand river in front of them was the place where their bones were buried.
The godson fled to the shore of Sha'er and crossed the river without hesitation.
At this time, Shen Xiufang, Du Yongchen, Wang Yuanlong and others had already led the cavalry to pursue them. But they reined in their horses one after another and did not cross the river.
"Shoot the arrows!"
At the sound of an order, five thousand black-armored elite horsemen took off their strong bows one after another, hooking their arrows and stringing them. Shoot towards Lezi in the Sand River.
Whoosh!
The sound of sharp arrows breaking through the air sounded, and within two hundred meters, the arrows rained down one after another. Many of the wheels that were crossing the river were hit by arrows, and for a while there were screams repeatedly. The sound of falling water is endless.
Originally, the accuracy of the bow and arrow was not high, and it was purely random arrows in the dark night, so more than a hundred wheels were tightly knocked down. However, the 5,000 black-armored elite horsemen took turns shooting, and the arrows were as dense as rain, so the remaining more than 100 godsons who were alive were all wounded, ranging in severity and severity.
Two Niu Lu were each hit by an arrow, one in the shoulder and one in the thigh.
When the two saw that the enemy did not continue the pursuit, they were immediately overjoyed and felt the joy of the rest of their lives.
However, when they crossed the Sand River and reached the north bank of the Sand River, they were all dumbfounded!
Thirty meters away on the opposite side, there were dense enemies, I didn't pay attention to it just now, and I thought it was a forest?
At this time, they found that all the enemy cavalry were cavalry, and the two Niu Lu smiled bitterly, and they all drew their swords, ready to fight hard.
Knowing this result, the two of them should have fought hard from the beginning, and more than 400 brothers died in vain, and they lost a lot of money.
People always regret when they remember that regret should not have been in the first place. It's a pity that there is no regret medicine sold in the world.
"Kill!"
There were few voices, and the more than 100 light soldiers who escaped from the sand river were all injured at this time. Some of them can't pick up their knives, what are they going to fight!
Major Zhan Zengyong raised his hand, and the five thousand black-armored elite horsemen suddenly bent their bows and arrows, and the sound of pulling the strings was neat and powerful, and it was heard very clearly in the quiet night.
"Shoot the arrows!"
With the order of Major Zhan Zengyong. The moment the arm fell, five thousand feathers shot into the sky. In front of the huge moon, dark shadows appeared, and then swished down.
The godson took the saber and swept away the feathered arrows in close proximity. But to no avail at all, at the same time as touching the feather arrows. The body has been pierced into a hornet's nest, and they have fallen to the ground and died.
One of the two Niu Lu was shot dead on the spot, the other Niu Lu was hit by five or six arrows, and the war horse was also injured and slowed down. But he insisted on rushing to Zhan Zengyong's front.
A cavalryman next to Major Zhan Zengyong was still about to bend his bow, but was stopped by Major Zhan Zengyong.
Woo coffee!
Major Zhan Zengyong drew his saber, slammed the horse's belly, and rushed out of the military formation. Go straight to the godson
Record.
With a pop, the knife flashed, and the bones of the head of Niu Lu rolled to the ground.
Phew!
Phew!
On both sides of the Sand River, all the black-armored elite horsemen raised their bows and shouted to celebrate their victory in the first battle!
"Damn!
Shen Xiufang: "
Du Yongchen: "
Wang Yuanlong:
Major Zhan Zengyong's words suddenly made the whole army laugh, and said secretly: It turns out that he is still worried about not personally cutting off Niu Lu's head before.
"Clean up the battlefield!"

Golden State City
Na Jienan ordered Lin Feng to guard the town and preside over the fortress project, while he was replaced by the official mansion of Liaodong Jingluo. Prepare to return to Ningyuan.
Without him, since Deng Haonan wants to keep the identity of the "Little Seventh Father-in-law", he can't play missing for a long time. Especially at this moment, Nurhachi led the main force of 80,000 shoes to attack Jinzhou, and the war situation in Liaodong was tight, so he had to go back.
This time, Deng Haonan will not go around alone. The Great Bull had expanded his guard to 500 men, and in addition to the French dog-lock muskets, they were also armed with war horses, as well as cavalry armor and sabers.
Of course, in normal times, Deng Haonan's guards can be more stylish, but once they leave the protection of the army, the guards can't "play drift" but have to be pragmatic.
Of course, Na Haonan's guards, even if they wore cavalry armor, were still very handsome. At the same time, it is a little more heroic.
The height of the red tassel is a sign of the officer rank of the cavalry unit under Deng Haonan, because in the battle situation, no one can see the number and size of the fish bone epaulettes on the armor, so it is still according to the standard of the Han cavalry, and the height of the red tassel on the helmet is used as the size of the official position.
And the guards, as Deng Haonan's personal soldiers. It was a first-level position of the official, so their red tassels were very high. The red tassel is also long.
At the same time, the mantle of the guards is red, and among the black-armored elite horsemen, only the rank of lieutenant and above can wear a red cloak.
Therefore, the overall feeling of the guards is a fiery red, which is equally eye-catching. In the eyes of the army, they were made up of a group of officers as small soldiers.
All the people in the guard team are carefully selected fierce generals in the army, although they may not be as tough as the guys in the hunter commando, but they are not too much.
Of course, Deng Haonan will not go to Jinzhou directly, he will return to Ningyuan, or return to the end. Customs. On the one hand, Di Haonan went back this time to let everyone know that the Pingliao army had recovered Jinzhouwei, built the Great Wall of Steel, and made a posture of counterattacking Shenyang, the capital of his godson, for the imperial court. On the other hand, Deng Haonan was preparing for the large-scale development of cavalry troops, so he came back to collect the war horses of the Ming Dynasty.
Before leaving, Lin Feng suggested that Deng Haonan should find a Mongolian war horse, because the endurance and speed of Mongolian war horses are much higher than those produced in the north of the Daming River. Because that Haonan's cavalry is a steel armor. Therefore, the weight is heavier than the cotton armor of the light cavalry, and the endurance of the war horse must be improved.
If you use Hebei War Horse. Long-term running and fatigue can easily affect the mobility and combat capability of the cavalry.
In addition to the war horses produced in Hebei, Daming is also improvised. It is better to leave the war horses produced on the Hetao Plain of Helan Mountain.
But that side is obviously too far away, and now the displaced people in Shaanxi and Shanxi are rebelling in all directions, and the target of transporting war horses is too obvious, and it is easy to be robbed, and the risk is too great, and the gains outweigh the losses.
"Then there will be only Mongolian horses left!"
Na Haonan asked, and Lin Feng replied: "Mongolia and the Ming court have always been very puzzling, on the one hand, the Ming Dynasty and the Mongolian ministries exchange markets, and the exchange of markets ends every year. Many tribes of Mongolia would sack the border fortresses. Fight a battle or two with Daming, and continue to trade with each other in the coming year! Therefore, if possible, the principal will contact Mongolia through the imperial court this time, and let's buy Mongolian war horses, so that it will not be as good as Lezi's war horses!"
Na Haonan nodded, he also knew the incomprehensible tricks of the Ming Imperial Court.
At this time, the three major feudal Shetu Khan, Zasaktu Khan, and Chechen Khan of the Gurgor Mongols did not surrender to Lezi, and it was not until the injury year before Lezi entered the customs that he believed that he was good with his shoes. After the three departments of Gurgat "sent envoys to meet the Manchu Qing Dynasty". Every year, each pays "white camel one." White Horse Eight. It is called the tribute of nine whites"
Now, Nurhachi was supposed to go on an expedition to Urrong and ruthlessly repair the northern Mongolian tribes. In order to force Lin Dan Khan to recognize the de facto rule of the Later Jin over Mongols.
However, Di Haonan intervened halfway, disrupted Nurhachi's overall plan, and caused the fiasco of Ningyuan, which greatly reduced the influence of Houjin on the Mongol tribes in southern Mo, and the Mobei tribes were afraid that they would not dump Nurhachi.
Therefore, this time Nurhachi sent troops to Jinzhou. It is to save some face, and then make an expedition to the Mongol tribes of Llorio to restore the influence of Houjin.
When Di Haonan thought of this, he suddenly felt that history had been kicked by himself and was slowly changing, so he had to prevent Nurhachi from annexing Mongolia. In addition, he built a fortress in Jinzhouwei in the rear of Houjin, which was like nailing a nail in the back of his godson, making it difficult for his godson to sleep and eat, so that Lezi could not rest assured that he would fight against Daming. Then history should slowly change.
Originally, Deng Haonan was ready to centralize power to eliminate shoes, but his subordinates Lin Feng and others all disagreed, in their words, with Deng Haonan's current strength, he may not be able to fight the shoes, even if he fights the Lezi, he will lose a lot.
On the contrary, they thought that if Di Haonan killed his godson, he would no longer be valued by the Ming court, and the bird would be hidden. However, the usual tricks of the Ming Emperor and the imperial court, so if you want to continue to grow yourself, you must make a fuss about the problem of Liaodong shoes.
What they mean Deng Haonan understands, this is the same as urging Chengxiu to strictly order Yuan Chonghuan not to enter the army without permission. Everyone is ready to use the interests of the country to protect and strengthen their own interests, dig the corners of the country, and fill the walls of their own courtyards.
