Chapter 333: The Decisive Battle of the Blue Hoof Pavilion II
"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...'
Seeing that the battle situation ahead had entered a white-hot stage, Amin ordered: "Pass the order, let the North Korean army rush forward again, hmph, the people of the Ming Kingdom also know how to fight with our real swords and guns." ”
Mang Gurtai then got on the horse: "I'll go..."
Amin did not stop it, because of the addition of Wuhan Iron and Steel Che, the battle situation has been surprisingly smooth from the beginning to the present, even if Mang Gurtai does not go, he will also let his men and horses lead the cavalry to move on the left and right wings.
"Lord Wang, the Jiannu cavalry has moved..."
Chen Cao raised the clairvoyant mirror, and then shouted: "Command the artillery battalion, shell the Jiannu cavalry." ”
'Knock knock... Knock knock... Knock knock...'
The cannon finally sounded, and one by one the flower shells flew towards the rear of the Han Eight Banner foot soldiers, and landed on the road where the cavalry charged.
Mang Gurtai cursed, and then an order was given to see the cavalry suddenly split into two torrents and disperse towards the left and right flanks of the Sixth Brigade.
"What a sharp artillery..."
Ning Wan was a little surprised, he estimated that it was at least three miles away from the artillery array on the opposite side to the place where the cavalry passed, but instead of stone bullets, there were exploding flower bullets, and dozens of cavalrymen were killed along the way.
Amin looked at me after Ning: "Mr. Ning, can I have such an artillery in Dajin?" ”
"Yes..."Ning Wan nodded, and pointed to Li Sizhong behind him: "The Shenwei General Cannon, which Geng Zhongming brought people from Phi Dao to make together with Korean craftsmen and Hongyi people, is a full thirty guns, with a range of two and a half miles. ”
Amin looked at Li Sizhong's firearms unit behind him, and then didn't speak, because he felt that this was not the time for the firearms unit to play.
"Scattered..."
"The enemy cavalry is scattered, and the seventh brigade is divided to protect the left and right flanks."
Cao Shixiu shouted, this is the mobility of the cavalry, although the Shenwu artillery can't turn suddenly, but the field artillery can, but it's just a drop in the bucket.
Although the intensity of the artillery bombardment and explosion hindered the cavalry offensive, the Tartar cavalry that rushed up then rushed over without fear and continued to the left and right flanks of the large formation.
"At least five thousand..."
Thinking of the fear of being broken through the position by He Heli and Fei Yingdong back then, Chen Caodang stood up and rode his horse: "The first division has entered the designated position. ”
It is impossible for tens of thousands of people to squeeze together, and Chen Cao's army formation on the rare Great Plains of Bihuguan is divided into two large formations in the front and middle, and the front formation is naturally dominated by Cao Shixiu, the commander of the second division, and the large formation of the Chinese army is pressed by Chen Cao himself, but now Mang Gurtai's troops have outflanked the left and right sides of Cao Shixiu's second division position, but Chen Cao does not think that the opponent will really go to Cao Shixiu's side.
Really...
Mang Gurtai's path went straight to Cao Shixiu's front, and rode all the way to the left flank of the Chinese army.
"What a guts..."
After Xin Laosan got the order, he and his subordinates hurriedly rushed towards the left flank, and as soon as they reached the periphery of the left flank, the torrent of Mang Gurtai rushed over.
"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...'
The three-stage salvo of bullets rushed towards the cavalry, one by one into the flesh, and the neighing of the war horses alternated with the muffled sound of falling horses, and Mang Gurtai felt very uncomfortable, and immediately commanded the horse team to rush towards the left rear of the second division.
"It's broken..."
Chen Cao shouted, and then rode his horse forward: "Feng Zhongping, cover up the past." ”
'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...'
Mang Gurtai's target was not the position of the 2nd Division, but the artillery position in the middle of the 2nd Division's position.
"Raise your gun..."
"Put..."
'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...'
A company soldier of the guard artillery array saw the Tartar cavalry rushing from the left rear, and under the command of the company commander, all the members turned around and rushed up, although the burst of gunfire hit the Tartar cavalry on the war horse, but the war horse that did not stop rushed over like a runaway lump of meat...
"Block them..."
"Protect the cannons..."
The clashing sound was too harsh, but the reinforcements came quickly, and while Mang Gurtai was still excited, he realized that if he indulged in destroying these cannons, his remaining thousand people might be surrounded by opponents in the middle, and then completely eaten.
His status is noble, and it is already impossible to charge into battle, how can he fall into it?
After Chen Cao was immediately followed, Feng Zhongping had already sent someone to report, although the artillery was protected, the people of a company guarding the artillery array were basically wiped out, and none of them survived.
Chen Cao's eyes were red, and when he looked up at the sky, it was already afternoon, and the people who went to surround him on the road did not appear for a long time.
"Tang Yannian... Liu Xingzuo..."
.
In the northeast of Xinyuan Sichuan, the continuous team was marching rapidly, in order not to be dragged down by the heavy artillery, Liu Xingzuo directly issued an order to let the artillery stay, and the foot soldiers set off first.
The fast horse scout in front of him was a little confused, but he only eased up after seeing Liu Xingzuo: "General, the little one has captured a few Korean natives in Guling Mountain, and there is reliable news;
According to the locals, three days ago, tens of thousands of Jiannu Tartars went south to the Bihu Pavilion. ”
"Tens of thousands?"
Liu Xingzuo was shocked: "The news is accurate? ”
The scout nodded: "Accurate, in order to prevent the news from being wrong, the small one also asked two interpreters to translate at the same time, both saying that tens of thousands of people were going south." ”
Liu Xingzuo's expression changed, and then he shivered: "Could it be Jiannu's reinforcements?" ”
The sound of kicking and clattering horses' hooves came from far and near, and another cavalry arrived: "General, there are a large number of Jiannu Tartars in the Fenshui Courtyard in the southwest of Guling Mountain, as well as a large number of grain and grass baggage. ”
Liu Xingzuo immediately took out the map, which he added from memory after his expedition to North Korea.
After all, he had been in Jiannu for a long time and was familiar with the way Huang Taiji and others acted, Liu Xingzuo was shocked after looking at the map: "If my expectations are right, maybe there are reinforcements from Jiannu to the Bihu Pavilion." ”
Zhang Yingwu said anxiously: "General, then now let's quickly attack the Bihoof Pavilion and act according to the plan." ”
"No..." Liu Xingzuo immediately rejected Zhang Yingwu's suggestion: "If there are really Jiannu to reinforce, then they will inevitably hoard grain and grass in the rear." ”
Zhang Yingwu immediately reacted: "Destroy the grain and grass of Jiannu..."
Liu Xingzuo nodded: "The land of North Korea is barren, and Amin's 70,000 troops go south to Hanyang, grain and grass are a major burden, and the terrain of North Korea is responsible, and there will inevitably be a lot of consumption on the way;
Secondly, North Korea has been very squeezed before, the northern provinces have a serious shortage of grain, and the people can only eat grass roots, if the grain and grass of Jiannu are burned, our army will win a complete victory in this battle. ”
Under the choice of direct confrontation, after sneaking up on their rear baggage team and then outflanking it, the opponent's psychological quality can no longer be compared with before the war.
Although Zhang Yingwu was the commander of the 52nd Division, he needed to follow Liu Xingzuo's orders.
The rumors circulating in Shanghai before the expedition made his Zhang family a little embarrassed, and it was a big deal to go out to make meritorious contributions.
"The last general obeys General Liu's orders."
.
"Retreated..."
"The Tartars have retreated..."
"Whoa, whoa..."
Bursts of shouts erupted in the position of the Second Division, Liu Liangzuo threw away the mutilated knife in his hand and replaced it with a brand new long knife, but the hand holding the knife was a little trembling, and there was a long knife on his back.
The soldiers were bandaging him, and the good powder made him sweat in pain.
"Gather the soldiers, bandage the wounded immediately, and send them all to North Hansan Fortress."
Chen Cao put down the clairvoyant mirror indifferently, the opponent's casualties this time were at least 10,000 people, and the sixth brigade of Liu Liangzuo's second division on his side had been disabled, and there were only more than 1,000 people left in the whole brigade.
"If it weren't for the Wuhan Iron and Steel Car, they wouldn't have had a chance to advance the distance of two hundred paces with a foot pawn."
Feng Zhongping said indignantly: "Lord Wang, why don't you let the last general take someone to touch it at night." ”
"The artillery array has been affected, and a lot of ammunition has been destroyed," Chen Cao looked at the battlefield in the distance with a cold brow: "Since Amin wants to annihilate us completely, then we have to see if we are those fools." ”
Xu Fuyuan took a deep breath: "According to the footsteps, Commander Tang's team should have arrived at the place now, but I don't know what happened to General Liu." ”
There is no official road around the deep river that can be walked by the army, and there are only sheep intestine roads walked by the local mountain people, and the sergeants can only walk side by side with three people, and the continuous procession is as magnificent as a long snake.
After a while, a horse came from the muddy road on both sides of the road, and immediately the knight hugged his fist: "Military seat, the forward is less than twenty miles away from the Blue Hoof Pavilion." ”
"How's the battlefield going?"
Tang Yannian rode into the muddy road.
"Back to the military seat, the prince's Chinese army and the Jiannu Tartar soldiers fought on the battlefield directly in front of the Biho Pavilion, and both sides won and lost, and now the army is suspended."
Tang Yannian looked up at the sky that had sunk, and thought of the plan he had with Chen Cao before leaving, so he said angrily: "The whole army is hurrying up, and we must arrive at the Blue Hoof Pavilion before nightfall." ”
Du Du, who was patrolling the left flank, was just about to return to the camp when a knight came quickly: "My lord... Our scouts have spotted anomalies north of Bald Mountain..."
Now that the two armies are in a big war, and any situation must be cautious, Du Du asked: "How?" ”
"The local North Koreans said they had seen countless Ming people in the north of Baldshan."
Du Du was shocked, and immediately beckoned more than 100 horsemen under his command to run in the direction of Bald Mountain: "You quickly go to the Chinese army and tell the marshal about this matter..."
