Chapter 332: The decisive battle against the Blue Hoof Pavilion

"The 52nd Division crossed the Xinyuan River from the northeast to the north, attacked the Huiyinling Pass, and cut off Amin's retreat; Tang Yannian, you led the third division to cross the north of Shenchuan, and then to the west to encircle the Bihu Pavilion; ”

At the meeting of the Chinese army, the participants had reached the level of brigade commander, and the whip in Chen Cao's hand pointed to the map: "This was the tactic of the Japanese army back then, but the Japanese army Wakisaka Anzhi Department received the retreat order of the Ukita Xiu family in the middle of the occupation of Huiyin Ridge, otherwise Li Rusong may also be blocked in the Bihu Pavilion;

Amin wants to use the Great Peace in front of the Bihokan to charge the battle, and then use the power of a battle to disintegrate our army, and at this time, I mean to completely annihilate Amin's troops. ”

"Lord Wang, the front will inevitably bear the onslaught of Jiannu, it is better to let the end come." Tang Yannian was a little unhappy to go to the sneak attack by himself.

Chen Cao shook his head: "The headquarters of the First Division will come to support, and I have asked Feng Zhongping to leave a brigade of troops to garrison Hanyang, even if there is disharmony, you can also stick to Hanyang." ”

"As long as the frontal resistance is against the charging of the Jiannu cavalry, the battle situation can be leaned towards our army." Xu Fuyuan interjected.

"All the artillery has been transported to the front of the formation, and the trench positions are being built intensively." Zhou Lixun spoke.

Chen Cao looked at the map and was silent, and then looked at Liu Xingzuo: "General Liu, you have a long way to go to capture the rear of Huiyinling." ”

Liu Xingzuo was familiar with North Korea, so he nodded and hugged his fists: "Don't worry, Xingzuo will definitely complete the task." ”

"Good..."

Boom...

Chen Cao slammed his fist on the table: "This battle wiped out Amin's subordinates, and then occupied the whole of Korea." ”

.

October 21 of the fourth year of Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty (the second year of Chongde, 1631 in the Western calendar)

Biho Pavilion

"Lord Belle..."Solantu came quickly: "Ming Dog dug a trench position in the plain three miles in front of the Blue Hoof Pavilion, and the ranger returned, and Ming Dog's artillery was also behind the trench. ”

Mang Gurtai couldn't help but rush into battle, but was stopped by Amin: "Don't worry, this battle may not be finished tonight, first let the North Korean army rely on the charge, and then transfer the Han Eight Banners to charge the formation, I still have 8,000 cavalry under my command, divided into two parts around its left and right flanks to attack, if the battle is decisive, you can lead the cavalry to cover up, if you don't win, you can also wear down the morale of the Ming army, today's losses will be fought until tomorrow, how can the Ming army hold on." ”

Mang Gurtai looked at Ning Wan and me, and Ning Wan gave me his hand: "Erbeile's plan is feasible, and the strategy of exhausting the enemy is just that many people will be sacrificed today." ”

Mang Gurtai sneered: "Hmph, those North Korean stick soldiers should also make some efforts." ”

"Handsome..."

Zilharang was a little embarrassed, and rode his horse to Amin's side: "Nephew..."

Amin waved his hand, and then looked at Du Du, who came over with him: "My Dajin needs to unite..."

Du Du Zilharang blushed when he heard this, Amin looked at the two of them with a smile, and then said, "Take out the courage of our Jurchens and use it on the battlefield later...

It's all a family, Du Du, your second uncle and I are not such stingy people. ”

Dudu's father is the eldest son Chu Ying, and he is the grandson of Nurhachi, while Amin is the son of Murhaqi and Nurhachi's own nephew, and Dudu calls him 'second uncle' by Amin's rank.

Du Du blushed and lowered his head, and was about to say a few words to ease the atmosphere, when he heard someone shouting that the Ming army was calling for battle.

Chen Cao sat in the center of the big array, in front of him was Cao Shixiu's second division, before dawn Liu Xingzuo and Zhang Yingwu set off with the fifty-second division, and now the decisive battle begins, just to invite you into the urn.

"Lord Wang, the North Korean army is up."

"The whole army is ready..."

"Listen to Made, today the prince said, unless it is the cavalry of the Jiannu Tartars who come up, there will be no salvo, everyone grasps the ammunition in their hands, don't shoot indiscriminately, the Korean army is human flesh, as long as it hurts, they will retreat..."

The commanders of the various departments are conveying Chen Cao's order, saving ammunition is the best policy, and the concentrated fire and shooting are mainly used to hit the cavalry of Jiannu, and the artillery is not the time to use it at this time, because in his opinion, the Korean army is not qualified to be hit by artillery.

'Bang bang bang... Bang bang bang ... Bang bang bang ... Bang bang bang ... Bang bang bang ... Bang bang bang...'

'Bang bang bang... Bang bang bang ... Bang bang bang ... Bang bang bang ... Bang bang bang ... Bang bang bang...'

The gunshot rang out, Chen Cao didn't know why he was a little throbbing, but it was only that moment, and then he looked back at the rear before he calmed down: "Pass the order, after the Korean army retreats, don't pursue, all departments must obey the order..."

The assault of the North Korean army collapsed in less than a stick of incense under the call of rifles, and more than 30,000 Korean troops retreated like a tide, leaving no less than 2,000 corpses on the way to the charge.

Ning Wan's brows furrowed into Sichuan characters, and he looked back at the three thousand musketeers brought by Li Sizhong, and he was a little puzzled.

Amin said, "Mr. Ning is thinking about the Ming army's musket?" ”

"How does the second Baylor know?"

"Although Dajin has obtained the production method of Songjiang muskets, it is the main master, and these 3,000 firearms troops are the henchmen of the Great Khan, so they must not all be lost here."

Amin knew that Huang Taiji ordered Han craftsmen in Liaodong to build cannons and muskets, but the technology of flintlock pistols was still obtained from Hongmaofan, and even the 3,000 people sent now were also the limit of Huang Taiji, because there was a firearms army of 10,000 people who were going south to Shanhaiguan.

"This battle can only be filled with human lives first..."

After Ning finished, I said: "Some craftsmen of the Northern Dynasty of the Ming Kingdom have created a lot of good things, and this time the lower officials have brought a lot, which can come in handy when the Han Eight Banners rush into battle later." ”

Liu Liangzuo's promotion to brigade commander was not relieved, or because Wei Zhongxian and the Hakka family came to Chen Cao's account later, and Tian Ergeng had already died, so he naturally had self-knowledge.

The Sixth Brigade was the vanguard, and the position was placed in front of the army, and Liu Liangzuo was shouting at his subordinates to hurry up and prepare, when he heard a soldier shouting loudly in the front trench.

Liu Liangzuo hurriedly poked his head out, observed it with a clairvoyant mirror for a long time, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, North Korea in this weather is neither cold nor hot, but he is indeed wet...

"Brigade, what's that?"

Liu Liangzuo slowly put down the clairvoyant mirror and was stunned, then looked at the head of the forward regiment beside him and said, "Wuhan Iron and Steel Vehicle..."

The history of the Wuhan Iron and Steel Vehicles of the Ming Dynasty was first used by Xu Da to deal with the cavalry of the Mongols, and when Zhu Di conquered Mongolia in the north, the Wuhan Iron and Steel Vehicles could not only transport grain, but also play a protective role.

It wasn't until the appearance of the Liaodong car in the later period that it replaced the Wuhan Iron and Steel car, but the car was too big and not suitable for the North Korean terrain, but the Wuhan Iron and Steel Car was in the middle of it, small, light and detachable, the key is...

"What's that?"

Chen Cao put down the clairvoyant mirror and asked angrily.

Zhao Xin was surprised: "Lord Wang, it's Wuhan Iron and Steel Car..."

The number of Han Eight Banners who rushed up was no less than 30,000, and the front of the entire army was full of Wuhan Iron and Steel vehicles...

Ning Wan smiled and stroked his thin beard, and said with a smile: "The Wuhan Iron and Steel car made by the craftsmen of the Ming Kingdom is indeed a good thing, and if the pig iron is covered in front of the car shield, even the musket will not be able to penetrate it. ”

Chen Cao's attention is no longer on the top of the Wuhan Iron and Steel Car, but on the Han Eight Banners wearing Ming army uniforms: "Aren't all of Amin's troops North Korean?" Where did so many Tartars come from? ”

Moreover, Chen Cao also found that there were no less than 30,000 North Korean troops who rushed up before, which was different from the 70,000 troops of Amin who were known by the scouts.

Chen Cao shook his head, kept thinking that something was wrong, and then said, "Zhao Xin, send a ranger out to investigate the situation from the left and right flanks of Jiannu." ”

Liu Liangzuo saw that the Tartar army pushing the Wuhan Iron and Steel cart had entered the position of two hundred paces of the forward regiment, so he ordered the forward regiment to open fire.

The earth-shattering gunfire was accompanied by bullets pouring towards the Wuhan Iron and Steel Vehicle, but what made Liu Liangzuo's head tingle was that the bullets did not penetrate the Wuhan Iron and Steel Vehicle at all.

In his clairing mirror, he could see the marks and a few dents on the layer of iron on the Wuhan Iron and Steel car.

In the distance, Amin put down the clairvoyant mirror and muttered: "If there is this thing in the early stage, Hanyang City will also be taken by our army." ”

"Erbeile, that pig iron sheet is two fingers thick, and the Great Khan personally ordered someone to blow it up with fire and medicine, and the damage is not much..."

Liu Liangzuo was anxious, because the rifle did not work against the Wuhan Iron and Steel Vehicles at all, and now the Tartar Army was less than a hundred steps away from the position of the forward regiment.

"Within fifty steps, if there is no achievement, let Liu Liangzuo's troops retreat."

Chen Cao knew very well that although Jiannu's melee combat methods were ancient, they were very combat-oriented, and once they reached within fifty steps, they would be the world of their strong bows and throwing weapons, even if they hid in the trenches, there was no way to perfectly dodge those stray arrows and throwing spears that fell from the sky.

Liu Liangzuo's palms holding the long knife were covered with sweat, and this was the first time he felt that his opponent was difficult: "Concentrate all the grenades and bullets, and after thirty steps, throw them out and blow them up." ”

"Be careful, the Tartar has thrown a gun..."

Burst...

Yes...

Sure enough, stray arrows, throwing spears, maces, axes, etc., flew in, and two or three hundred people were hit, and no less than 100 people were killed on the spot.

After the first round of attack at fifty paces, the Tartars behind the Wuhan Iron and Steel car saw that the opponent's muskets could not damage them at all, so they roared in unison and continued to advance.

"Throw grenades.."

A violent explosion sounded, Chen Cao's previous intention to deal with Liu Liangzuo disappeared with the stagnation of the Wuhan Iron and Steel car, as far as the eye could see, the forward regiment of the Sixth Brigade had already run out of the trench, and some soldiers rushed up with bayonets because they didn't have time to reload for the second time and fought with the enemy with their bayonets.

"It's not the way to go on like this..."

Chen Cao put down the clairvoyant mirror: "Order Cao Shixiu to answer the Sixth Brigade." ”

"Volley..."

'Bang bang bang... Bang bang bang ... Bang bang bang ... Bang bang bang ... Bang bang bang ... Bang bang bang...'

'Bang bang bang... Bang bang bang ... Bang bang bang ... Bang bang bang ... Bang bang bang ... Bang bang bang...'

'Bang bang bang... Bang bang bang ... Bang bang bang ... Bang bang bang ... Bang bang bang ... Bang bang bang...'

The 1,500 men of the forward regiment of the 6th Brigade retreated to the second-line positions alive, and only 500 of them retreated to the second-line position.
