Chapter 479: Flying Dragon Gate Pass (2)
"The bottom of the mountain is ahead!"
After a night of rapid marching, Shen Tuo led the soldiers of the new army to run thirty miles of mountain roads, and finally arrived at the south of Longmen Pass.
Shen Tuo happily rushed out of the woods, only to see that the original rugged mountain area suddenly opened up, and the originally rugged mountain area became a smooth road, in the northwest direction is Longmen Pass, and in the north direction is the northern foot of Beishan Mountain.
"The whole battalion speed up and enter the customs!"
The main body of Longmen Pass is the Great Longmen Castle, which is an important pass on the "inside" of the Great Wall of the Ming Dynasty and is known as the "throat of the territory".
According to the record of "Notes on the Book of Water", it was called "Sage City" before the Tang and Song Dynasties, and it was once an important fortress town in the Central Plains and outside the Saiwai, and it has experienced many wars. The Ming Dynasty rebuilt it as a military stronghold, starting from the Jiajing period, by the "Qin Yi Dalongmen Guarding the Commander-in-Chief Commander of the General Officer Qin" to guard.
At this time, the Longmen Pass was empty, and the original defenders only had more than 100 people, and when the Qing army entered the customs this time, the defenders had long since disappeared.
Shen Tuo led his troops to rush towards Longmen Pass, and suddenly the figures on the northern foot of the mountain moved, and then countless Qing troops rushed down the mountain and killed the soldiers of the middle battalion of the new army.
"Tartar!"
Shen Tuo almost gritted his steel teeth at this time, and his own side hurried to hurry, but he still arrived almost at the same time as the Qing army.
"Formation! Formation! ”
Shen Tuo roared loudly, and the soldiers of the middle battalion of the new army quickly formed a phalanx, and all the soldiers raised their bird guns that had been filled in advance, ready to go.
"Get on the bayonet!"
At this time, Shen Tuo saw that the Qing soldiers who rushed down were all Mongolian soldiers and horses, mainly the two blue flags of Mongolia and the Mongolian Ao Han and Alu tribes of the outer domains, and there were Manchurian red flags in the back
Soldiers and horses are being assembled.
"Block them and fire!"
Rumble!
At this time, the position of the officers and men of the middle battalion of the new army was very bad, and they did not occupy the position directly in front of Longmen Pass, but in the southeast direction of Longmen Pass.
In addition to the large number of Mongolian soldiers and horses rushing over, Shen Tuo also saw the two white flags of Manchuria, the red flag, and a large number of Mongolian soldiers and horses rushing straight to Longmen Pass. At this time, Shen Tuo wanted to rush over, but was dragged by the enemy troops who had already rushed to within a hundred steps.
Under round after round of salvos, the soldiers and horses of the two Mongolian blue flags who rushed to the front suffered heavy casualties, and at this time, the blue flag Gushan Ezhen Wu Lai and the blue flag Gushan Ezhen Hushibu stood at the rear of the military formation, looking at the warriors in the banner who were charging in front, without exception, they fell on the distance of forty or fifty steps in front of the new army formation, and they could not be charged at all.
The current Mongol army has no war horses, and it will attack the new army's bird gun formation with foot combat, and its casualties can be imagined.
"Shoot the arrows!"
Soon, with the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses of Ao Han and Ah Lu, the strength of the Mongol army in front of the new army camp had reached 30,000 or 40,000 people, crowded and rushed towards the bird gun formation, and was immediately killed and wounded by the dense firepower.
At this time, the archers of the Mongol banners also pressed up and began to shoot, and the range of the Mongols' cavalry bows was less than a hundred paces, but if they were thrown, the range could be increased to about seventy or eighty paces.
Hu Shibu personally stepped forward with thousands of blue-flag archers and began to fire a volley at a distance of sixty paces from the middle camp of the new army.
I saw countless Mongol soldiers roaring and rushing forward, and thousands of archers were struggling to fire a volley in the rear. And the officers and men of the battalions of the new army in front of them are like a sophisticated machine, in an orderly manner
The salvo killed the enemy, both sides were trying their best, and the casualties of the two armies were still increasing rapidly.
The armor of the soldiers in the battalion of the new army was incomplete, and the arrows shot by the Mongols caused a lot of casualties to the soldiers of the new army.
Not far away, another soldier was shot by two arrows, although his armor blocked one, but the neck was also pierced by another arrow, and the soldier fell directly to the ground on his back.
The Mongols in front of them have gone crazy one after another, and there are two Mongolian soldiers and horses with two white flags and two red flags behind them who are gathering and rectifying, and it will not be long before they will rush up in a steady stream.
Shen Tuo saw it all in his eyes and understood that it was now the most dangerous time. In the north, the battle flags of the two white flags and two red flags of Manchuria have entered the Longmen Pass, and the battle flags of the two yellow flags of Mongolia are also moving in the direction of the Longmen Pass.
Shen Tuo was very indignant in his heart, and roared angrily: "Earthquake thunder, prepare, release!" ”
A large number of sword and shield men from the middle battalion of the new army stepped forward one after another and threw the earth-shattering thunder that had been ignited. In the Mongolian formation in front of the new army, the flames of its explosion began to flicker continuously, and those Mongolian soldiers who were charging were blown up by the earth-shattering thunder, and Shen Tuo even saw that stumps and broken arms had flown in many places, and the momentum of the Mongol charge was contained.
"Put!"
The bird formation in the middle battalion of the new army is still running, but there are too many Mongolian soldiers rushing up, several times the strength of their own, facing a desperate situation
The Mongols have burst out with great combat power.
The Mongols eventually rushed to the front of the middle camp of the new army, and the two sides began to engage in close combat.
"Kill Hu!"
Shen Tuo roared, and directly rushed forward with dozens of guards, and all the bird-stalkers in front of him had already loaded their bayonets, and at this time they stabbed forward one after another, starting hand-to-hand combat with the Mongolian soldiers.
Lai Dong (Xiao Dongzi) with a sentry under his command roared forward at night, everyone walked in a neat pace, the bird gun with a bayonet in his hand continued to stab, in the face of the Mongols' slashing knives, stabbing spears, all the soldiers were not blocked at all, it was completely a way of fighting with the enemy.
"Kill!"
Laidong stabbed out the bird gun, directly pierced through the Mongolian blue flag Zhuang Da in front of him, and then violently withdrew the bird gun, and the Zhuang Da made a gurgling sound in his throat, and then fell to the ground, falling headlong and out of breath.
Then Laidong once again worked with all the soldiers around him, stabbing hard, and so on again and again with the Mongolian soldiers in front of him, and soldiers on both sides continued to fall in pools of blood.
Beside Laidong, a new army commander was pierced in the abdomen with a spear by a Mongolian soldier in front of him, but the new army commander gritted his teeth, held the spear pierced into the abdomen with one hand, and slashed the neck of the Mongolian soldier with a bird gun with a bayonet in the other, and both of them died.
This kind of almost life-for-life dispatch made those Mongols feel fear that they had never felt before, and soon those Mongol soldiers were defeated, and a large number of Mongol soldiers began to flee backwards, and even the soldiers and horses of the Mongolian Ao Han and Alu tribes who were about to kill them began to retreat rapidly at this time.
Seeing this, Shen Tuo said angrily: "Those."
The Manchurian Red Flag Tartars who supervised the war have already run away, and these Mongolian Tartars are only retreating now, they are really dog slaves, cheap enough! ”
Then Shen Tuo yelled: "Forward! Advance! Crush the enemy forces! ”
"Tiger! Tiger! Tiger! ”
The soldiers of the middle battalion of the new army roared angrily, stepping over the corpses all over the ground, and the ground was red with blood under their feet, and the whole battalion of soldiers roared forward angrily, driving the defeated Mongol banners and horses to the north.
At this moment, another large army appeared in the rear of the middle battalion of the new army, Shen Tuo was startled at first, and then laughed: "Haha! The governor sent the former business, okay, kill me, chase and kill! ”
At this time, Chen Xun, the general of the front battalion, stood panting on the hillside, this road forced the march down, Chen Xun and the soldiers of the front battalion of the new army were also exhausted, fortunately, at this time, whether it was the battalions of the new army or the banners of the Qing army, all of them were forced to march for hundreds of miles, and both sides were already at the end of the crossbow, and there was no party waiting for work.
"The whole battalion is pursuing north!"
Chen Xun held a clairvoyant mirror to observe the battlefield situation for a while, then pushed the task of pursuing the Mongolian flags to the middle battalion of the new army, and directly led his troops to Longmen Pass.
At this time, the banners of the Qing army were still passing through the city, and Chen Xun was catching up now, and how many Qing soldiers could be stopped was counted.
Shen Tuo was standing on a "slope" where corpses were piled up at this time, holding a clairvoyant mirror to look south, only to see Chen Xun leading his troops directly to Longmen Pass, laughing and annoyed.
"This guy is really good at picking up cheap!"
Then Shen Tuo yelled, "Keep going!" ”
Ahead, the middle battalion of the new army is pursuing the rout of the Mongol banners, and the soldiers and horses of Ao Han and Alu have been completely defeated
, the Mongolian two blue flag armies also all retreated, Zhenglan Banner Gushan Ezhen Wu Lai, inlaid blue flag Gushan Ezhen Hu Shibu two people are even more embarrassed to rush to Longmen Pass, want to escape, but in the battlefield dizzy, with a team of guards to run south, head-on and collided with the East Department.
"Fire! Fire! ”
Laidong roared loudly, and more than 200 bird-gunners opened fire one after another, and the power of the close-range salvo was very huge, and more than 20 guards in front of Wu Lai and Hu Shibu were shot almost instantly, and they fell to the ground one after another.
Later, Wu Lai's left arm was also shot by a bird, and the severe pain made Wu Lai scream loudly, and then he was protected by several guards in the middle. And Hu Shibu was also startled, his pace slowed down, flashed behind several guards, and shouted loudly, telling his subordinates to rush up to melee hand-to-hand combat.
Rumble!
Lai Dong roared loudly and ordered a volley, Wu Lai and the guards around him were shot and killed immediately, Hu Shibu was shot in the left leg and fell to the ground in pain, while the guards around him were killed and wounded, and there was not much left of the guards around the two at this time.
Laidong laughed, and at this time, he also saw that the armor on Wu Lai and Hu Shibu in front was different, and he must be a senior general in the Qing army, so he wanted to lead his troops to capture and behead them.
At this moment, I don't know which Hanhan it was, just threw a sky-shattering thunder over, and suddenly an explosion exploded, blowing Wu Lai, Hu Shibu and others to the ground.
"Bastard! Who the threw the earth-shattering thunder! ”
Laidong scolded and hurriedly led people forward to check, only to see that Wu Lai and Hu Shibu's bodies were already mutilated, but fortunately, the heads of the two could still be identified.
Laidong was suddenly relieved
In one breath, he said: "Beheaded!" Put away the two heads, and the promotion of our sentry brothers depends on these two heads! ”
