Chapter 327

On the grassland of Luanping Dam, the cold wind blew from the Mongolian Plateau, revealing the biting cold, Li Dingguo involuntarily tightened his cotton clothes and let out a breath of white air.

Around him, a large army rushed like a black torrent, overflowing the plains, overflowing the hills, and overflowing the meadows, surging towards the direction of Miyun Jing'an Fort.

There are very few cavalry in the Annan Legion of the Ning Navy, and there are only scout cavalry directly under each capital division, and the number is not much, a total of 3,000 cavalry, Shen Mingyu pulled out all the scout cavalry, each with a horse, non-stop, people do not leave the saddle, fast as wind, thunder and lightning. They rode Dutch warmbloods, known for their endurance and tenacity.

There are more than six or seven thousand iron hoofed horses in the Ning Navy, two-thirds of which are in the cavalry capital, and the other part is the scout cavalry here, because the scouts need to gallop quickly, even from the horse, this is also the Dutch warmblood imported from Venice, because the number is too small, it can only be equipped to the scout cavalry troops, this warmblood can survive in extremely high and low temperatures, and has super endurance that only the Middle Eastern horse breed can match.

In fact, even the Mongolian iron-hoofed horse was slightly worse than the Dutch warm-blooded battle, this kind of mobile horse, good at climbing and walking rugged mountain roads, warm-blooded horses, when assigned to the reconnaissance cavalry troops, Zhao Wencai was very opinionated. Cheng Shijie promised Zhao Wencai that when the Animal Husbandry Bureau cultivated more warm-blooded horses, he would equip the cavalry troops, and the Sharma would be preferentially supplemented with the cavalry troops, which made Zhao Wencai die down.

Cheng Shijie's decision was right, if the Annan Army did not have this warm-blooded horse compared to the Netherlands, it would be a bit difficult for Li Dingguo and other more than 3,000 cavalry to maneuver 300 miles in one night against the wind and sand.

In fact, Cheng Shijie really didn't have any foresight, he thought that there was a lot of rain in Annan, the climate was humid, and the temperature was high, and the Mongolian horses that liked cold might not be suitable for the climate of Annan, so he matched this kind of heat-resistant warm-blooded horses to the Annan army, of course, this was also a mistake.

The war horses that Catherine sold to Cheng Shijie are all well-trained war horses, running fast and steady, and compared to the Dutch, the scouts of the Ning Navy are better than the Dutch warm-blooded horses, in fact, horses are also human, after joining the Ning Navy, although the training is hard, they are respected and treated richly.

When it comes to raising and breeding horses, China has a long history of thousands of years in this regard.

The white and bloody war horse that Li Dingguo stepped on began to gasp, and Li Dingguo jumped and jumped onto the horse Xiaohei, letting it take a breath. His movements were unusually beautiful, without any mud and water, and attracted a round of applause.

"The general is very skilled!"

Li Dingguo is quite proud: "I have worked hard, I never need to go to the ground to change horses, if there are three horses, I will not be a problem for a few days and nights without touching the ground!" ”

An old thief from Shaanxi in the Annan Army snorted: "Who was the one who complained about his crotch three days ago?" ”

Li Dingguo's face turned red, he made a grimace, he didn't dare to blow it anymore, he took out the water bag and poured it into his throat......

After all, Li Dingguo is young, although he has good talent and learns things quickly, but he and Zhang Xianzhong are not very long, especially his regular cavalry There is still a big gap, especially the scouts of the Ning Navy, who stay on horseback for much longer than on the ground.

After drinking a lot of wine, Li Dingguo said: "Speed up, you must arrive at Jing'an Fort before the fourth watch, eat at the fifth watch, and launch an attack at dawn, so that the blood of the enemy army will stain the grassland red!" ”

"Yes!"

The Zhongning Navy soldier howled in response, and then fell silent and sped up.

The wind is getting stronger and colder, and the snow particles are rushing towards the face, which is really unbearable. But if you can't stand it, you have to bear it, this is a battlefield, not a place for leisure and vacation.

……

The White River defense line, in front of the army of Tushetu Khan.

The exhausted Mongol army withdrew with reluctance and anger, they had neither the strength nor the strength to fight any further, and the muskets of the Ning navy were like a raging storm, and the shells were smashed like no money, and they had to withdraw if they did not withdraw.

Seeing that the retreating Mongolian soldiers were all scarred, Gunbu had no way to lose his temper with these Mongolian soldiers, after all, they all tried their best.

Gunbu threw the rosary in his hand on the ground heavily, his eyes were blood-red, and he roared wildly: "Only three or four thousand Baiming troops are so difficult to fight, in just half a day, we have killed and injured more than 20,000 people, more than 20,000 people!" Who can tell Ben Khan what the hell is going on? Who can tell Ben Khan what the hell is going on!? ”

The Mongol generals were silent, and no one dared to respond. They all felt that the battle was like this, and they all felt incredible. In the history of more than 200 years of war between Mongolia and the Ming Dynasty, how many battles have been fought so fiercely and resolutely as today's battle?

However, they still failed to break through the thin ice wall of the Ning Navy, and they couldn't even make a gap in the position of the Ning Navy! Under the strangulation of the terrible firepower network of the Ning Navy, they were the entire hundred-man team, and I don't know how many tribal leaders were crying bitterly, lamenting that the casualties were too heavy!

Recalling the scene of swords and swords on the battlefield, and the sound of explosions like thunder, everyone couldn't help but have a cold war, it was really tragic, they had never seen such a tragic war in their lives!

Kyakhtu also said with red eyes: "Minggou owes us a blood debt!" I think they're almost done with their firearms, we should step up our attacks, clear the line of defense in one fell swoop, and then slaughter all the living creatures in Miyun City and wipe out this damn city! ”

Kebai thought for a while and said, "We should build more cars!" Their firecrackers are so powerful that our armor and shields look like papier-mâché in front of them, and only the carts can stop the elixir from their firecrackers! ”

Kyakhtu shook his head and said: "The carts can't be stopped, I've seen it, and many of the carts have been beaten like a sieve." ”

Kebai said: "That's better than a shield!" Build more chariots, and now the chariots are covered with two layers of cowhide, which will definitely prevent their firecrackers! ”

Kyakhtu sighed: "The idea of the great minister is good, the question is ...... Where are we going to find so much wood? ”

Kebai was speechless......

Originally, there was a lot of timber in Jing'anbao City, and the houses could be demolished and the beams could be used, but the problem was all this...... They were all burned by a fire in Kyakhtu, and if you want to build a large car, you must need a lot of wood, and it is not enough to cut down a tree, in fact, there are woods near Jing'an Fort, where to find so much dry wood?

Lack of resources has always been the weakness of nomads, and this "scarcity" is still all-round, they lack people, lack of wood, lack of iron, lack of food, lack of salt, lack of everything, congenital disadvantages make them rarely able to face up to the power of the agrarian dynasty.

Of course, if they have enough resources and don't lack anything, I'm afraid they won't be interested in robbing everywhere.

Without wood, there would be no way to build a large car.

There is no way for Gunbu, they have no way to retreat now, the reinforcements of the Ning Navy are already on the way, they have just received the news that the reinforcements of the Ning Navy did not land from Tianjin, but came directly from Funingwei, and have arrived in the territory of Yongping Mansion, and now they may not be far away.

In desperation, the wreckage of the wrecked cart was recycled, and the wood that could still be used was removed and reused to create a new cart. The soldiers found cowhides and horse skins to cover their shields, or pulled off the armor from the corpses of the fallen Mongol soldiers and put them on their shields to strengthen their defenses.

The second wave of attacks began again, and the Mongol army was still pouring in from all directions, and the feathered arrows were as dense as flying locusts shooting at the defense line of the Ning navy, and the sound of killing shook the sky.

And the Ning Navy also responded to the Mongolian army is bullets, shells, and rocket artillery, relatively speaking, the Mongolian army also caused some casualties to the Ning Navy officers, and the casualties are not small, after all, it is the first bolt-action rifle, jammed, and failure is inevitable, some of the Ning Navy officers and soldiers were injured, and some were killed, but their comrades-in-arms around them still responded silently.

In the hands of the officers and men of the Ning Navy, the Chongzhen eight-year rifle is getting more and more familiar, and the marksmanship is getting better and better, and some people can even be at a position of 500 paces, eyeing the enemy, of course, whether this shot is blind, no one can say.

The Mongol army was closer to the ice wall, and the number was increasing, and after a few days of fighting, the Mongol soldiers also found that if they wanted to save their lives, they could not rush upwards in a swarm, bend over, die faster on horses, attack on foot, or crawl forward slowly on the ground, which can effectively reduce casualties.

Those Mongolian soldiers who died in front of the battle, their corpses will be frozen into popsicles, which just become bunkers and crawl, which is a life-saving means that Mongolian soldiers learn in front of their rifles, and at the same time, it does greatly reduce the hit rate of Ning Navy soldiers, and the bullet consumption is greater.

Gunbu thought that this attack was about to fail again, but he didn't notice that countless Mongolian soldiers moved in front of the ice wall of the Ning Navy like maggots, and dozens of hundreds of Mongolian soldiers jumped up, pounced behind the ice wall with their shields, and tore together with the Ning Navy.

Seeing this scene, countless Mongolian soldiers knelt on the ground excitedly, looked up at the sky with open arms, and shouted with tears: "Immortal Heaven bless, we have won!" ”

Gunbu's lips trembled with excitement, and he said in a loud voice: "Win, win!" ”

However, the slap in the face came very quickly.

It was found that more and more Mongolian soldiers jumped over the ice wall to fight with the Ning Navy, although the Ning Naval Officers were well-trained, but the problem was that they were too numerous, and in local battles, they had to face five or six Mongolian soldiers alone, and they were hacked to death by the Mongolian soldiers one after another.

A Ning soldier had his right arm cut off by a Mongolian soldier, and he threw his rifle on the ground while another Mongolian soldier stabbed him with a spear, and he had no way to dodge or dodge.

The Ning Navy soldier gritted his teeth and shouted: "Great handsome, I will be your soldier in the next life......

Niu Shi pulled the grenade fuse on his body, and with a loud bang, Niu Shi and three Mongolian soldiers fell in a pool of blood.

When Cheng Shijie saw this scene, his heart was like a knife.

"Yuan Shiliang, open the gun!"

"Dashuai, the one with us ......"

"You're fucking stupid in the brain? Extend the artillery fire and knock out the Mongols who followed the attack! ”

"Yes!"

Cheng Shijie grabbed the horizontal knife: "Guards Division, follow me!" ”

Meng En hurriedly hugged Cheng Shijie and said, "Dashuai, I'll ...... Let me go. ”

However, before Meng En finished speaking, between the first and second ice walls of the Ning Navy, explosions sounded one after another, and a division, nearly 300 people, almost all of them, attacked the Mongols in a suicidal manner.

The voice of Chief Captain Wang Sixi sounded on the walkie-talkie in front of Cheng Shijie: "Marshal, Wang Sixi requests, fire artillery at our position, fire artillery at our position......"

"Fire!"

Cheng Shijie still gave the order.

Naturally, the first to fire was rocket artillery, and the artillery of the Ning Navy fired more than 300 rocket shells in the middle of the first and second ice walls, about the size of four football fields, that is, less than 30,000 square meters.

"Boom Boom Boom Boom ......"

A series of violent explosions caused the Mongol army to be blown over, and the Mongolian soldiers were blown up to the ground. Without waiting for any reaction from the Mongol soldiers, or even when the explosion had just sounded, the reinforcements of the Ning Navy attacked with grenades under the cover of shield soldiers.

After the rocket shells were blown up, the surviving Mongolian soldiers found that an impregnable shield wall had appeared on their left and right, and the soldiers in the front row held large shields and stepped on the drum beat slowly. A group of grenadiers followed behind, carrying a bamboo basket full of grenades and eight or nine more in their waists, and with a shout, a row of grenades flew out of their hands and landed in the middle of the Mongol army.

"Boom, boom, boom" A series of violent explosions sounded, and a large area of the Mongolian army was blown over.

The Mongol soldiers, who had managed to make a breakthrough, were wiped out in the middle of the first line of defense and the second line of defense of the Ningbo Navy, and none of the three or four thousand Mongolian soldiers survived.

Seeing that his achievements were falling short, Gunbu wanted to order the whole army to fight again, but before he could give the order, the Ning navy's three-inch guns, Franc machine guns, four-inch guns, and five-inch guns fired shells at the Mongol army farther away.

Several clusters of orange flames shone out, and the ground rumbled and shook with a loud thunderous sound, and the blast wave of the explosion swept in with a terrifying heat, and dozens of Mongolian soldiers were rolled up like a pile of leaves and thrown out twenty or thirty meters away......

And this is only the beginning of the disaster, several fire dragons seem to break through the earth's crust of magma from the explosion point rushed up, a continuous wall of fire for two hundred meters instantly formed, I don't know how many Mongolian soldiers burned in a flash of fire, turned into a burning man screaming and rushing around, where the fire burned.

This is the incendiary bomb launched by the Ning Navy, that's right, the heavy artillery of the Ning Navy is basically the same as the naval guns of the Navy, for the battleship, the killing effect of the grenade is far inferior to the incendiary bomb, because even if the thousand-ton giant ship, hit by a grenade, it will cause losses, but it will not be fatal, at most kill and injure a large number of people, or damage the equipment and sailing ships on the deck, but the incendiary bomb can reimburse a battleship.

Because the Mongolian army made the Ning Navy Guards suffer a great deal of killing, especially since the formation of the Ning Navy, the first seat division to be completely annihilated, the Twelfth Division of the Fourth Commander of the Guards Division.

Cheng Shijie ordered no longer to be kept, even if the reinforcements of the Ning Navy were not deployed, even if the Tushetu Khan Department retreated now, he didn't care.

Countless large and small incendiary shells rained down, splashing wherever there was a sea of fire, the Mongolian soldiers had dodged as much as possible, but they still didn't hide far enough, the rain of fire fell among them, I don't know how many people were horrified to find that their clothes and hair suddenly burned, so painful that they rolled all over the ground, and let out a terrible scream, the sound was not like a person!

The shock wave of the explosion wrapped in flames to form a terrifying fire dragon, instantly devouring hundreds of Mongolians, Mongolian soldiers let out a beast-like howl in the raging flames, many of them became burning people, the terrible screams were moving, even as an opponent who was fighting to the death, the Ming army also felt a palpitation inexplicably!

The entire battlefield fell into a terrible silence, and both the Ming and Mongol armies stared blankly at the raging flames and the Mongol soldiers writhing and fluttering in the flames, and were terrified.

Gon Bu roared, a stream of blood choked out of his throat, fishy and sweet, and his body shook a few times, and he fell from his horse, unconscious. One or two thousand people will be over in the blink of an eye, such a blow even the overlord of the Tushetu Khan Department cannot withstand it!

An old gentleman who seemed to be a scholar in the camp of Baihe listened to the terrible cries and smelled the stench of burnt human flesh in the air, which made him pale and tremble, and muttered, "Burn the Vine Armor Army...... O iniquity! ”

A peasant turned his head and glanced at him coldly, and said, "They and the Mongolian Tatars all deserve it!" ”

The scholar looked at the murderous and unkind peasant, and stopped talking, and in the end, a thousand words turned into a long sigh.

A quarter of an hour later, the screaming on the battlefield soon ceased, and there were charred, twisted corpses everywhere, and the air was filled with a foul smell, and the Ming and Mongol soldiers looked at the charred corpses all over the ground, and suddenly bent down together holding their stomachs, and the remaining food in the stomach pouch spurted out of their mouths and noses.

They vomited so much that their eyes turned black, and such a tragic two-sided made them completely lose the desire to fight, and many people have never eaten barbecue again in their lives.

Really, no one but a madman would enjoy such a miserable picture, even if it was the enemy who was burned to death!

When Gon Bu woke up, his eyes were glazed and he didn't say a word, so he lay on the bed with no focus at all, and no one knew what he was looking at.

Many generals reported to him the military situation and asked him to make a decision, but he did not respond, as if he had not heard. Anyone who looked at him could see the sorrow and despair hidden in his distracted gaze, yes, utter despair.

The moment the flames soared into the air, he was already in complete despair. The firearms of the Ming army emerged in an endless stream, one more terrifying than the other, one more powerful than the other, and a large number of grenades could be killed when thrown down, and the Mongol army could not effectively kill the Ming army with all its efforts.

These firearms are not only powerful, but also easy to use, an ordinary farmer can learn how to use them in half a day, which means that even a group of militia can inflict great casualties on the Mongol army, and all the advantages are on the side of the Ming army!

If he still had a trace of luck before, then when he saw thousands of people burned alive in an instant by the shells fired by the Ming artillery, he was even smashed to the last bit of luck.

This battle can't be fought. They can't kill or injure many Ming troops even if they work hard, and the Ming army only needs one round of artillery bombardment to kill and wound a large number of them, how can this battle be fought?

Gon Bu is now disheartened, he doesn't want to say anything, he doesn't want to do anything, in his opinion, no matter how exquisite the tactical deployment he makes, he will be easily blown into powder by the firearms of the Ming army, everything is just a futile struggle, why bother?

Now he just wants to know what kind of artillery the Ming army used and why it is so terrifying!

The battlefield stopped, and there was a terrible silence.

Only Cheng Shijie heard the voice from the high-power radio station next to him: "Call Dashuai, call Dashuai!" ”

This is the largest radio station in Cheng Shijie's hands, and it is also the radio station with the farthest transmission distance, which can have a radiation range of 50 kilometers, which means that the reinforcements have arrived within 50 kilometers.

On the third watch, the wind and clouds dissipated, and a full moon came out from behind the dark clouds and hung high in the sky. Through the moonlight, which was as white as silver, a huge black shadow could be vaguely seen rising behind the horizon,

From Jing'anbao City to the south, the torches are one after another, as if the stars in the sky have fallen to the earth, the horn cang, the golden watchman is agitated, and the big flags are hunting and flying in the evening wind, which is the camp of the Mongolian army.

The soldiers of the Annan Army, who had been on the road all night, let out a breath of white air, and finally arrived!

Li Dingguo ordered the generals beside him: "All dismount and rest, and launch an attack immediately after dawn!" ”

……

Shenyang City, Royal Palace.

Huang Taiji looked at the information in front of him and looked surprised: "Fifty thousand horses? Is this news correct? ”

"Returning to the Khan King, it must be right, this news has been verified, the commander of the army is Cheng Shijie's henchman Shen Mingyu, calculate the time, they should be in the capital at the slowest now!"

Fan Wencheng smiled bitterly.

Surviving this time, Huang Taiji did not take drastic measures, otherwise, according to the original method, they wanted to use the more than 200,000 captive Ming soldiers and civilians in their hands to exchange more than 200,000 stone grain from the Ning Navy, plus the heads of more than 100,000 Mongolian people who were beheaded, there would be more than 300,000 stone of grain.

With these 300,000 stone grains, they tore up the agreement they had reached with the Ning Navy, in fact, this agreement was not even signed, it was only a verbal agreement.

Huang Taiji didn't have the slightest psychological burden for breaking the contract, but the problem was that Huang Taiji was shocked into a cold sweat when he saw the news, he didn't expect that Cheng Shijie was still hiding his back hand in Liaodong, if he dared to move, I am afraid that he would face a more disastrous defeat than the Battle of Baliwan.

Huang Taiji pinched the information and said several times: "It's dangerous, it's dangerous!" ”

Huang Taiji immediately made up his mind: "Beat the drums, gather the generals, and Bengan will send troops!" ”

Fan Wencheng bowed down and said, "King Khan is wise! ”

The current Huang Taiji is like a beautiful country in World War II, when the beautiful country sees that Da Mao has beaten Germany down, and if he does not participate in the war, he will miss the opportunity to snatch the fruits of victory.

In fact, as Shen Mingyu's more than 50,000 elite Ning Navy went north, he saw that Cheng Shijie had the certainty of absolute victory, and Cheng Shijie could dispatch soldiers and horses including 20,000 cavalry, as well as 50,000 infantry and artillery, these more than 70,000 elites plus the nine-sided Ming army, there was no problem at all in winning Mobei and Moxi Mongolia.

Even if Huang Taiji led the elite Eight Banners of the Jin State to unite with Mobei and Moxi Mongolia, there was no chance of victory, and the artillery of the Ning Navy had already knocked Huang Taiji out of the psychological shadow.

As the Eight Banners Banner Lords and the Baylors arrived at the palace, Huang Taiji looked at the ministers of civil and military affairs and said, "Ben Khan has decided to accept the invitation of the Governor of Liaodong and the Duke of Haiguo to total Mobei Mongolia!" ”

Regarding the fight against Mongolia, the elite of the Eight Banners said that this is all trivial, as long as you don't fight with Ning Haijun, there is no problem with anyone. They have an absolute chance of winning.

"You have also heard that more than 400,000 troops in Mobei Mongolia are heading south, according to intelligence, Hai Guogong has led the troops to annihilate 50,000 or 60,000 Tushetu Khan troops, and we can participate in the war, we can snatch the war horses, cattle and sheep of Mobei Mongolia, as well as their young men and children, and more importantly, as long as we behead one level, Haiguo Gong will give us 100 catties of food!"

Huang Taiji waved his hand and said, "This time, all of our eight banners are dispatched!" ”

"The King of Khan is victorious, and the King of Khan is wise!"
