Chapter 405: Drinking and hating Jiangbei

Since the start of the war, there have been no less than ten regiment commanders killed in the war, and Liao Erlin has also become one of them, and the 292nd Regiment has not survived one of the ten after the war, even if the 293rd Regiment and other regiments participated, there were many casualties.

Baha watched Yue Tuo's plan to use the Han people as the lead failed, and the support forces were slow to catch up, which made him have a headache, and according to the plan made earlier, it was time for Beziwakda's support to come: "Withdraw... Retreat... Shoot the arrows..."

His 5,000 cavalry was carefully selected by Horqin, and he was also the most loyal to Manchuria, but now in order to preserve Horqin's strength, he had to choose to retreat.

At this moment, Baha, who had already chosen to cover the retreat, bumped into Wakda, who had rushed to reinforce him, only to hear Wakda shouting in Mongolian: "Baha, where did your courage go in Korqin?" ”

Seeing that it was Wakda coming, Baha beat his chest with one hand: "Beizi, the Ming people don't want to attack, and our warriors can't break through their human wall." ”

"Rubbish..."Wakda sneered: "Baha, you take the people back to cover the flank of our army, and watch your officer kill the enemy." ”

Wakda came with a thousand cavalry with red flags, and he was already sharpening his sword, not to mention that there were 20,000 foot soldiers of the Han army flag, all with throwing guns and fire oil, and it was precisely because of the collection of fire oil that he came late.

Li Zongcheng will be glad that he can alleviate the casualties just now after robbing the people, and before he has time to clean up the battlefield, he will get the news that the Qing army reinforcements are coming: "The 99th Brigade is on top, quickly send a message to the command and ask for reinforcements." ”

.

"Is it messed up?"

Chen Cao personally raised the clairvoyant mirror, and when he saw that all the Qing troops in the mirror were not in a hurry, he really couldn't see any clues: "Dai Shan is confusing us, didn't you hear the gunshots and explosions coming from the city?" ”

"These people are suspicious, in order to reduce their pressure, and to let the people go to the city to create a false impression for us, send a signal, let the Longwu Army and the 1st Group Army attack at the same time, I want to see what ability Daishan has to sit firmly on the Diaoyutai."

.

The sound of artillery will not hide the fact of the attack, the artillery of the Long Wu Army and the artillery of Weng Linzhi's 1st Army are not vegetarians, although they cannot break the city defense at the first time, but it also causes great psychological pressure on Dai Shan and Yue Tuo.

"How's Wakda going?"

"Back to the prince, there is no news for the time being."

Yue Tuo looked at Dai Shan: "Ama, the pressure in Beicheng is not as small as Xicheng, or you go to Xicheng to command, there is Xin Shan in the direction of Dongcheng, when you can block it, leave it to me here." ”

Dai Shan nodded: "That's fine, you can deal with it well." ”

Nancheng is the focus, and the hundreds of artillery pieces are not a small role, but because there are still people on the city wall, the Ming army outside the city does not dare to open fire, and once these people are not used...

Thinking of this, Yue Tuo didn't dare to continue thinking about it, because he didn't use the people, and he didn't know how long he could hold it: "Come on, concentrate the troops in the other three cities, especially where the western city Wakda Beizi is located, here, there is Ben Beile, just leave 30,000." ”

"Tsk..."

.

"Division, the deputy division commander is killed..."

Li Zongchang sighed, the death of the deputy division commander Xiong Qianli made him know that the Tartars in front of him were not easy to deal with at all, and the fierce fire made his troops unable to move forward, not to mention, they could only passively find a place to hide, and in addition to the key fire, there were tens of thousands of Tartars who kept throwing guns, bows and arrows and other things, and could only be beaten passively.

"Grenades and bombs in various departments..."

"Master, there aren't many grenades left..."

Grenades and ammunition were in short supply, and most of them were supplied to the Dingwu Army, one for each soldier in a division, and some even had more than 100 in a regiment.

Li Zongcheng gritted his teeth: "Tell the headquarters that my 33rd Division is about to run out, and in order to block the enemy's counterattack, I am determined to put the whole army on a white-knuckle battle, and the division commander Li Zongcheng respects..."

The herald was stunned for a moment, then stood up and saluted: "Yes..."

Wakda also couldn't imagine that the Ming army on the opposite side could still stop his footsteps under such a brave combat offensive, so a burst of fire broke out: "I want to see what these Ming dogs rely on." ”

A horse came quickly and stopped in front of Wakda: "Bei Ziye, the forward official has sent a message, saying that the Ming army's musket resistance in front of the battle has weakened. ”

Wakda is a reckless man, and he is extremely brave in battle, and when he heard this, he laughed and said three times: "Minggou's firearm is about to become a burning stick, and the order is sent to Baha, preparing to coordinate with Benbeizi to attack, and the foot soldiers of the Han army flag will then press..."

"Tsk..."

"The Tartars are coming up..."

"There is an order from the division seat, and the whole army is based on a platoon, and the platoon guns are blocked..."

"There is an order from the division seat, and the whole army is based on a platoon, and the platoon guns are blocked..."

"There is an order from the division seat, and the whole army is based on a platoon, and the platoon guns are blocked..."

"Is my brother afraid of death?"

"Lao Tzu is afraid of hammers, Ge Laozi's dog Tartar came to us, and Lao Tzu killed him..."

The answer was a soldier from Sichuan, who was already red-eyed and desperate to put all the remaining ammunition in a convenient position, ready to make the final blow.

Beep beep ...

A sharp whistle sounded, and after the Dingwu Army completely abandoned this method of warfare, platoon gun shooting now only existed in flintlock units, of course, this was also a matter of no choice.

"Prepare to raise your gun..."

The cavalry of Wakda and Baja had already begun to charge, and countless throwing guns and iron bones rushed towards the officers and soldiers of the 33rd Division who had formed a formation in front of them...

..

"Lustful and inward-looking guy, when did Dai Shan become so smart?"

Chen Cao put down the clairvoyant mirror, and then said to the people beside him: "The gunfire and artillery fire on the Xicheng side can be faintly heard here, and the defense on the Nancheng side is still so tight, in the case that Li Yongfang chooses to surrender, can Daishan still suppress the more than 100,000 Han army flag troops?" I don't believe it..."

Huang Chunyao also agreed: "Perhaps, as Your Majesty said, Dai Shan is playing tricks, but now those people on the city wall are really tricky, otherwise, with the density of artillery in front of the battle, the southern city will be blown up in an instant." ”

"Spread my order, let the Longwu Army and the First Army launch an attack at the right time, and not let the enemy troops in the city have any time to breathe."

..

If it weren't for Shi Jiaming leading the 36th Division to rush up, it would be a big problem whether Li Zongcheng's troops could be saved at this moment, and Li Zongcheng, who was hit by three arrows, was still in the front and commanded in the center, but his troops were separated and surrounded by Wakda and Baha's cavalry, even if they were sent to death to attack with a platoon of gun arrays, the results were not so high.

Although Wakda was clumsy, he was not stupid, seeing that the opponent was already a deadly attack, he ordered the cavalry to go around, and then move to shoot, as long as the Ming army organized to advance, immediately move to evacuate, once out of the range of the musket, then attack with a hard bow throwing projectile weapon, a real hooligan play.

However, this tactic was a common trick of the Mongols back then, and it was only learned by the Jurchens.

Shi Jiaming helped Li Zongcheng and said: "Lao Li, you withdraw first, the military seat has ordered all troops to press up, we have not received His Majesty's military order now, and we really don't know how to fight, so we can only use the most primitive tactics." ”

Li Zongcheng was indignant, his troops suffered heavy casualties, and this battle was basically disabled, and the 33rd Division could only withdraw to the rear to recuperate: "Lao Shi, you have to be careful, the Tartar battle is extremely cunning, and the platoon gun battle has no effect on the cavalry. ”

Shi Jiaming patted Li Zongcheng on the shoulder: "I already knew about Lao Xiong just now, you should take care, otherwise it will be a big loss without you when the award is awarded in the future." ”

Wakda received the news of the arrival of reinforcements from the Ming army and immediately ordered to retreat, very decisively, the people of Baha are not in the best state now, his men have also suffered quite a few casualties, the cavalry is now in urgent need of rest, and it is no longer suitable to continue the offensive before the reinforcements of the Han army flag arrive.

Shi Guozhu replaced Li Yongfang to lead the Han army flag troops, and was originally going to reinforce Beicheng, but temporarily received an order to send troops to reinforce Wakda, so Shi Guozhu sent the guerrilla general Gao Jie to lead 5,000 Han army flag troops to carry a large number of fire oil equipment.

Gao Jie, a native of Mizhi, Shaanxi, was a thief with Li Zicheng, and then became Li Zicheng's general, nicknamed the Mountain Harrier, tall and strong, after the defeat of the Nanjing War, he retreated to Jiangbei, and then took the people of the headquarters did not return to Yang He, and when he was a bandit in Shandong, he voted for the Qing army by mistake because of the bad luck, and was valued by Li Yongfang, and the position of guerrilla on the editorial board.

Although Gao Jie himself is handsome and handsome, he has an unruly and arrogant personality, and he has a lot of complaints after being appointed as a guerrilla, and his wife's origin is even more powerful, and she is Li Zicheng's original partner.

Xing's is not only beautiful, but also smart, when Nanjing was defeated, he was separated from Li Zicheng, and thanks to Gao Jie's protection, the two sparked, and the news of Li Zicheng's death made her feel at ease.

Although Xing's private morality is not good, he is full of righteousness, and often whispers in Gao Jie's ear that they are Han people, how can they work for Tartar, which made Gao Jie also have the meaning of Guiming, until Li Yongfang had an accident, he had his own ideas.

"Madam, now Huai'an is undefendable, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses of the imperial court are surrounded by this battle, and the Qing army has no chance."

Xing's kung fu is also good, he rode his horse next to Gao Jie in a military uniform, and when he heard this, he said: "Husband, now is a great opportunity, Li Yongfang can return to the Ming Dynasty anyway, which shows that the court has no loss of hearts, and the Xicheng side is very chaotic, if we can help the imperial court soldiers and horses to completely control this side, we still have a chance to speak in front of the emperor." ”

Gao Jie's heart immediately moved after hearing this, and he nodded hurriedly: "That's exactly what I mean." ”

Most of his subordinates were originally pulled up by Shaanxi, and they basically obeyed his orders, thinking of this, Gao Jie immediately signaled to a few cronies beside him, and then stared at a few Tartar prison officers riding horses not far away...
