Chapter 1145: Strange Soldiers Descend from Heaven (I)
At this moment, the morning sun rose, and the glow of the sun dispelled the clouds and mist, and the originally gloomy sky became clear. Yu Linsheng and Pei Xingjin couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief, the sneak attack had failed, if God had another heavy rain, the Ming army's firearms advantage would be greatly reduced, and the situation would inevitably be worse, fortunately, God gave face, otherwise it would be really choking.
The Yulin Army and the Shanxi Army formed a good military formation, firmly blocked the valley mouth, and became a trend of catching turtles in the urn, although the sneak attack failed, but also took the lead, causing great pressure to the enemy in the valley, both psychologically and in terms of troops.
The Tartars in the valley naturally refused to sit still, and after a short period of panic, they immediately organized their troops to break through the siege, and a tragic battle immediately began at the mouth of the valley......
In the earth-shaking sound of horses' hooves, the Tatar cavalry rushed towards the position of the Ming army like a tornado, and the wind set off by the horse team blew the sand and stones, and the murderous spirit rushed straight to Xiao Han.
"Fire!" Yu Linsheng and Pei Xingjin were both stunned at this moment, and almost simultaneously issued the order for the shelling.
Boom Boom Boom ......
Because it was a sneak attack by a rapid march, the artillery carried by the Datong Army and the Yulin Army were all small and medium-sized horse Franc machine guns, and the power was relatively small, but the artillery of the two horses added up to 80 guns, and this salvo was still quite terrifying.
I saw that the dense artillery fire roared out from the Ming army, and the shells exploded in the Tatar cavalry like raindrops.
The Ming army blocked the valley pass, due to the terrain limitations, the Tatar cavalry did not have enough space to deploy, so the formation was relatively dense, the Ming army this wave of covering artillery fire, suddenly let the Tatars suffer heavy losses, casualties are estimated to be more than 1,000 people.
However, what about the so-called rabbits that bite people when they are in a hurry, let alone the strong Tatar cavalry? The Ming army blocked the only entrance and exit of the valley, and it was no wonder that the Tatars did not fight hard, so although the Tatar cavalry suffered heavy losses, they still continued to charge fearlessly, broke through the dense artillery fire, and quickly killed in front of the Ming army.
In fact, as early as before the founding of Zhu Yuanzhang, the Ming army had begun to use a large number of firearms, and after the founding of the country, it was a vigorous development of firearms.
To put it simply, the first axe of this set of combat methods is artillery bombardment, the first round of artillery shocks the enemy's courage, and then the second plate axe is the musket three-stage attack, which maximizes the killing and damage of the opponent; The third axe is the cavalry, after the first two rounds of blows, the enemy has been heavily damaged, and then send the cavalry to meet the short soldiers, and it will receive miraculous results; Finally, the fourth plate axe is pressed by the infantry.
Basically, these four axes were finished, even the iron-clad Mongolian cavalry couldn't withstand it, only to turn around and flee for their lives, and the Ming army relied on these axes to kill the Northern Yuan army invincible, and finally destroyed the Northern Yuan regime.
So at this time, the Tatar cavalry waded through the artillery fire, and immediately ushered in the second axe of the Ming army, and in the sound of gunfire like beans, the bullets poured like raindrops, and the Tatar cavalry in front of them were instantly wiped out, like cutting wheat, and fell one stubble after another.
"Hehe, this flintlock pistol is still so good, it's much stronger than a firecracker." Yu Linsheng grinned and laughed loudly: "The Tartars are coming here, Lao Tzu invites you to eat peanuts." ”
It is said that now the flintlock pistol has been equipped to Datong Town, but due to the limited production and the cost is not low, the border soldiers in Yulin Town are only equipped with a small number of flintlock pistols, and the musketeers of the Yulin Army are mainly using old-fashioned muskets.
Compared with the new flintlock pistol, the old flintlock pistol is too far behind, neither the firing range, the rate of fire, nor the accuracy of the flintlock pistol can match the flintlock pistol, and you have to use an open flame to ignite the fuse, which is very troublesome.
Therefore, the musket array of the Datong army was impenetrable, and the Yulin army was much colder, the cavalry of the Tartars was getting closer and closer, and when they raised their hands, waves of arrows were thrown over, and the musketeers and sword and shield men at the front of the Yulin army continued to fall down with arrows.
Pei Xingjin looked at the new-style flintlock pistol of the Datong Army next door, swallowed his saliva with greed, and scolded and said: "Mah, everyone is a border army, why does Yu Linsheng, this kid, use a flintlock pistol in the whole army, and our brothers still have to use this broken bird gun!" ”
"Yu Linsheng is the descendant of the handsome, he was raised by his mother, we were raised by his stepmother, that's comparable!" A pro-soldier next to him interjected indignantly.
Pei Xingjin snorted fiercely and said: "Bah, after this battle, Lao Tzu will ask the marshal for a flintlock pistol, if he doesn't give it, Lao Tzu will go to the book and ask the emperor for it." ”
As soon as Pei Xingjin finished speaking, his complexion suddenly changed sharply, and he saw that the sky suddenly darkened, and countless short spears fell from the sky.
"Shield!" Pei Xing shouted hoarsely.
Knock knock knock......
I saw that the powerful short spear pierced the shield, and the muskets, guns, swords and shields in front of the Yulin army formation were suddenly wiped out, and a large number of them fell down in an uproar, and those who hit the vital point were nailed to the ground on the spot, and those who did not hit the vital point were also mostly injured, either missing arms or missing legs, which was miserable.
Pei Xingjin scolded his mother in pain, decisively let the musketeers in front of the formation retreat, and then ordered the cavalry to rush out, and cut head-on with the Tatar cavalry who were close to the front, and the battle then entered a white-hot stage.
The Tatar cavalry obviously intended to break through the encirclement of the Ming army in one go, so despite the heavy losses, they still launched a steady stream of attacks, whether it was the Yulin army or the Datong army, they all felt the pressure increased sharply, especially the Yulin army, which had already used the third axe, and was almost pressed by the last infantry, but the Tatar cavalry showed no signs of retreating at all, and they kept attacking.
Just as the ancients fought wars, when attacking the city, they generally set aside a city gate not to attack, the purpose is to leave a way for the defenders in the city to retreat, because as long as there is a way to retreat, the defenders know that there is a chance to escape, and the will to resist will not be so strong, and once there is no way to retreat, both horizontal and vertical are dead, and the defenders should fight with you.
At this time, the Tartars were blocked in the valley, there was no way to run, there was no way to escape, plus the valley was full of noble leaders of Tumut, it would be strange that the Tartar cavalry did not fight hard with the Ming army, which is also one of the reasons why Xie Erjian wanted to unite Yu Linsheng and Pei Xingjin, otherwise he would really not be able to eat and walk.
Drive......
Xue Bingxin saw that the Yulin army was almost unbearable, and with a clamp on the horse's belly, he led more than 600 cavalry brothers from the cottage to come forward to support, and Lei Jun also came, leading more than 200 cavalry brothers under the command of Li brothers and sisters, and the two teams of men and horses combined were more than 900 cavalry.
Although there are only more than 900 horsemen, Xue Bingxin and the others are all veterans of the immediate battle, and their combat power is not more than a star and a half stronger than the border army.
Pei Xing, the commander-in-chief of the Yulin Army, couldn't help but be overjoyed, and hurriedly seized the time to reassemble the musket array and artillery array, the artillery roared again, and the fierce artillery fire continued to bombard the Tartar cavalry that had been reinforcing in the rear.
"Look, Lord Commander, that woman should be General Xiangshan Xue." At this time, a personal soldier pointed at Xue Bingxin, who was rushing left and right in front of the formation, and said loudly.
Pei Xing followed the expectations of his own soldiers, and sure enough, he saw a female general holding a waist knife and slashing horizontally and horizontally, and where the knife was within reach, the Tartars fell off their horses one after another, and couldn't help but say: "Amazing, this girl is stunned, and Lao Tzu is probably not her opponent." ”
"I have long heard that this was originally the big boss of Heitai Mountain in Youyu County, and he was called the third lady by the locals, and he came to worship as a guardian saint, and he really lived up to his name." Pei Xingjin's personal captain couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
……
It is said that the general who was in charge of commanding the 20,000 Tartar cavalry in the valley was called Lu Dongzan, an Etok lord of Tumut Wanhu, and I promised to give him the responsibility of guarding the headquarters, which shows the trust in this person.
This Lu Dongzan was not born majestic and mighty, but was short and thin, but he had a pair of eagle eyes and hooked nose, looking shrewd and strong, at this moment he was riding on horseback and paying attention to the battle situation in Taniguchi, and the person next to him was Li Fuda.
Li Feisha had indeed guessed correctly before, Li Fuda had indeed fled to the Tumut headquarters, and had been hiding here for the past few days.
At this moment, Li Fuda stared at Xue Bingxin, who was fighting fiercely in the formation, his face changed, and suddenly he realized something, raised his eyes and looked carefully in the Ming army formation, since Xue Bingxin was here, then the Shenji battalion led by Xie Erjian must also be nearby.
But Li Fuda searched and searched, but he didn't find any trace of the Shenji Battalion, and he couldn't help but feel a little uneasy in his heart, he was also afraid of being killed by the Shenji Battalion.
Just when Li Fuda was suspicious, Lu Dongzan next to him suddenly turned his head, stared at Li Fuda with a pair of eagle eyes and asked, "King Fu, is that female general in the formation the woman surnamed Xue who defeated you?" ”
Li Fuda had no choice but to nod his head, Lu Dongzan's face instantly became unkind, and he said coldly: "In this way, the Ming army followed your traces to find here!" ”
Li Fuda was also single, and said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "Respected Lord Zaisang, you can't say that, maybe the scouts of the Ming army searched here by themselves?" What's more, at present, the great enemy is the most urgent task at the moment, and it is not the time to hold anyone responsible. ”
Lu Dongzan's position is Zaisang, which is equivalent to the prime minister, and is responsible for managing the affairs of Tumo's headquarters, and his status is second only to Meda, which can be described as a high authority, and like most Tatars, Lu Dongzan also looks down on the Han people in his heart, and naturally looks down on Li Fuda.
There were still 20,000 horses under Li Fuda's command before, and Lu Dongzan was willing to give him some face, but Li Fuda has now suffered a defeat, and the old bottom is almost all defeated, and he only led more than 200 horsemen to flee here to seek refuge, and Lu Dongzan will give him a good face again, not to mention that the Ming army is likely to be attracted by Li Fuda.
So at this moment, Lu Dongzan simply regarded Li Fuda as a broom star, and he said coldly with a dark face: "Li Fuda, if it is found out that the Ming army was brought by you in the future, your Fu King will not want to be the king anymore, because of your negligence, my department has lost so many warriors, and everyone in the headquarters is in danger." ”
Li Fuda couldn't help but be secretly angry, a trace of viciousness flashed in his eyes, he originally wanted to remind Lu Dongzan to be careful of the Shenji Battalion, but at this time he simply didn't mention it, closed his mouth and was silent, sneering in his heart.
Li Fuda was not worried, even if the Tatars were defeated by the Ming army, but the valley was surrounded by mountain peaks on both sides, and it was not easy for him to escape with his ability.
However, Lu Dongzan didn't seem to intend to let Li Fuda go like this, and the pair of eagle eyes turned around and said: "King Fu is right, the top priority is to retreat from the enemy, then trouble King Fu to lead your subordinates to come forward to support our warriors." ”
Li Fuda's face changed slightly, and the murderous intent in his eyes flashed faintly, and Lu Dongzan's pair of eagle eyes suddenly narrowed dangerously, and said in a cold voice: "Could it be that King Feifu wants to disobey the order of the prime minister?" ”
Li Fuda suddenly laughed and said, "Lord Zaisang doesn't need to be angry, this king will obey his orders." After speaking, he led two hundred cavalry soldiers under his command and rushed out towards the valley mouth.
Lu Dongzan looked at Li Fuda's back and sneered: "Waste, it can be regarded as making the best use of things." ”
As soon as Lu Dongzan's words fell, there were suddenly bursts of shouting and killing behind the valley, followed by screams and screams, and the yurts behind the valley were on fire one after another, and the flames were rising to the sky in an instant.
"Lord Zaisang, it's not good, the Ming army has come in from the back of the valley."
"The Ming army is in, run for your life!"
Lu Dongzan's heart shook wildly, behind the valley is the high mountain, where did the Ming army come in, could it be that they can't fly?
At this time, there was indeed a Ming army behind the valley, it was the Shenji battalion led by Xie Erjian and Qi Jingtong, but they did not fly in, but climbed in over the mountains and mountains
It turned out that in the first two years, didn't Xie Qi and the two of them hide in Daqing Mountain with more than 1,000 brothers from the Shenji Battalion? This hiding is more than half a year, in this half a year, in order to survive, even if the snow is heavy and the mountains are closed, Xie Erjian also took some of his skilled brothers out to hunt and look for food, so he is already very familiar with the road conditions in Daqing Mountain, and he has also practiced the ability to climb over the mountains.
And just the day before yesterday, Xie Qi and his brothers sneaked into the Daqing Mountain, quietly touched the back of the valley, and then used the rope to climb over the peak behind the valley.
Originally, Xie Erjian's plan was to wait for them to be in position before sending out an attack signal, but Yu Linsheng and Pei Xingjin rushed to attack without waiting for a signal, and Xie Erjian and the others had just climbed to the top of the mountain, and they didn't have time to catch their breath before they heard the rumbling of cannons.
Xie Erjian and Qi Jingtong looked at each other with clairvoyance on the top of the mountain, good guy, Taniguchi had already started fighting, and he didn't dare to slack off at the moment, he didn't even rest, and immediately climbed down from the mountain peak.
When all the brothers of the Shenji Battalion descended the mountain, there had been a fierce battle in front of the valley for nearly an hour, and at that moment, Xie Qi and the two immediately ordered to kill the yurt in the valley.
