"Ahh

"Help me!"

The two Ming soldiers who ran at the back were hit by the javelins and flying axes flying behind them, and fell to the ground screaming, the javelins were still trembling slightly on the body of the Ming army, and they quickly caught up with several clothed soldiers with two white flags in the back, and the two soldiers were cut down with knives in their hands.

Then the head was tied to the waist, the helmet, armor, weapons and other valuable things were packed up, and looking at the Ming army who retreated to the second trench like a tide, these soldiers and officers with two white flags did not care about cheering for victory, but just cleaned the battlefield with their hands and feet. Remove the corpses of the Ming and Qing troops in the horses, fences, breastwork, trenches, etc., and simply repair the damaged places to prepare for the next round of charge.

"Damn Nikan! What kind of medicine have you taken, so desperate! ”

A Jia Lazhangjing slumped on the earthen bag of the anti-cannon and muttered and cursed.

Indeed, Ning Yuanjun has launched waves of attacks on Tashan with a crazy mental state almost every day in the past few days.

Those generals, adjutant generals, and guerrillas supervised their own guerrilla battalions, odd battalions, and reinforcement battalions, attacking in turn, and even fighting each other or bribing each other in order to compete for the opportunity of the head enemy. And the main barracks and family members of Wu Sangui, the general soldier of Ningyuan, simply did not have the opportunity to go into battle.

The reason and motivation is the attractive reward issued by Li Huamei, the eldest lady of our Ningyuan Bo Mansion, who is stationed on Hongluo Mountain.

And it's definitely not a fool with empty mouths and white teeth, everyone can see it clearly. Boatloads of supplies, grain and rice, boxes of silver dollars, swords, guns and armor, and a steady stream of strong men who seem to have arrived from Shandong are all given by our godmother to the first troops to break through the Tashan position!

can take advantage of this opportunity to completely eliminate the old and weak soldiers under his subordinates, and then replace them with the Quasi-Nanyue Army that came from Denglai and other places, they are all soldiers and horses that Ning Yuan has raised and trained for several years! When it comes to combat effectiveness, it is not much worse than the generals' families!

With such an opportunity for fame and fortune, how can the generals not work hard?

After several days of hard fighting, although he did not break through the Tashan position. But it also put the Dorgon brothers in danger again and again. Several times almost all the lines collapsed. At the most dangerous time, it was Cao Zhenyan, who led the Baya soldiers to the front line to block the Ning Yuan army that rushed in. There are only eight house slave guards with Dolgon!

"If it was in the previous battles, the generals of the Ming Kingdom dared to fight so desperately. I was gone early in the morning. "Inside Fort Tower Hill. The two brothers, Dorgon and Dodor, often remembered the bloody and tragic scenes of the battlefield. The two princes, who have experienced countless battles and can be regarded as murderous, can't help but feel cold air on their backs.

Before each battle. The Ming army was bound to carry out several or even a dozen wooden boxes, which were full of silver dollars, reflecting bursts of seductive light in the winter sun. The officers' hands were playing with the boxes in a pleasant sound.

"Brothers, the county lord knows that everyone is a loyal and brave man of the Ming Dynasty. Specially awarded a reward, select warriors to go into battle, willing to go, regardless of horsemen, infantry, family, each ten silver dollars, there are those who have won the first rank, and in accordance with the Ming military law to give rewards! Don't come up if you are fat, you are afraid that the money will fall back! ”

With the rattling of the silver dollar with both hands, the Ming soldiers captured two trenches and three breastwork, leaving only one trench and two breastwork fortifications for Dorgon.

Duoduo and Dolgon also knew that at this time of the battle, they would also have to fight hard, and only by insisting on carrying it here to the death would they have a glimmer of life, if they withdrew like the Ming army, or fled, they were afraid that these red-eyed Ming troops would chase the two brothers all the way to the old city of Hetuala!

After each attack of the Ming army, one or two Niu Lu were beaten and cancelled, and the loss of men and horses was far more than this number. Every day, Dorgon promoted a group of men to take over the position of fallen officer. Taking this opportunity, the troops of the two white flags here, the two yellow flags and several other flags here have also quietly changed. During this period of time, some officers have been quietly promoted by two levels, from strong to Niu Lu Zhangjing.

"Li Huamei, Li Huamei! You crazy! What benefits did the Zhu family court give to your father and daughter, which is worth your hard work? "I learned from the captives and the mouth of the fine work that Li Huamei, who was not only crazy herself, but also caused tens of thousands of military horses to go crazy together, was the master who paid out of her own pocket and prepared dry food to fight in Liaodong, and she couldn't help but scold Duoduo jumping on his feet.

Coincidentally, the crazy woman in Duoduo's mouth was also furious on Hongluo Mountain at this time.

"Mother! The son is incompetent, and this time he still failed to break through the fortifications of the slave chief! Two bearded and clad admirals knelt down in the mud with their heads down.

"Uncle, what did the previous military order say?" Li Huamei didn't care at all about the words of these two generals, who were a few years older than Shouhan, begging her mother to spare her life, and just coldly threw the fate of these two to Wu Sangui.

As the commander-in-chief of the former enemy, Wu Sangui was naturally willing to do this kind of law enforcement thing.

"Push it down, cut it!"

A cannon rang out, and two human heads were suspended from a high pole, blood ticking in the wind.

"Fear the sword and avoid the sword! The lord of this county can see clearly, your military flag is the first to flee back, if it is not for your greed for life and fear of death, I am afraid that the army has already attacked Tashan Fort at this time! ”

Reprimanded the generals present, and also his own group of godsons who did not grow up, Li Huamei raised her clairvoyance and took in the situation of Tashan through the lenses carefully polished by the craftsmen of Nanzhong. I saw that the top of the tower mountain was full of wild grass and snow, and occasionally I could see the traces of gunsmoke, just like the scars on the mountain, ugly and cruel.

After careful observation, Li Huamei found that the Qing army's defensive line was very different from the previous ones, and the first thing she could see was a trench, and the front of the trench was piled up with excavated earth as a breastwork. In front of the trench, a row of rejecting horses could be seen, which was supposed to prevent the cavalry from charging. Previously, the South Chinese army had already destroyed these rejections several times. But soon, it was repaired by the Qing army. The back cannot be seen due to the terrain, but Li Huamei guessed that there must be a trench behind it, as a counterattack point or defensive line after the first trench is lost. Now it may be because of the temporary truce, there are not too many people in sight, only sporadic people probing their brains, as if they are scouting the situation. However, Li Huamei can be sure that the shrinking of the position also means that the artillery guns in Dolgon's hands are being used more and more intensively! If he rushes forward now, he will inevitably face countless black holes and holes. And these musket artillery. In previous battles, having penetrated countless standard armors of the Nanyue Army, Li Huamei was not ready to be a real person.

After looking at it for a while, Li Huamei put down the binoculars. Asked Mo Yu beside him: "Uncle Mo Yu." How to defeat the enemy in front of you. Do you have insights? Mo Yu lowered his head and replied sullenly: "I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed to trust my lord, but it's just a small mountain." I can't attack it for a long time, and I should ask the lord for my guilt. Li Huamei smiled and said: "There is no need to be like this, the enemy army can block the Guards Brigade, and it also has its own ability." I also observed it before, and I can't beat it, so I don't blame you, your command is still decent. First destroy the rejection with artillery, then the auxiliaries clear the rejection under the cover of rockets, and then the infantry rushes forward to attack, but the problem is with the infantry. Every time our infantry rushed up, they were met with a row of musketeers in the trenches, and the bullets of our counterattack often missed. After that, our infantry adopted the tactics of charging with bayonets, but they rushed into the trenches, but the Qing army sabers and axes who were in ambush in the trenches behind immediately came up and fought with our troops. I have to say that these Qing troops were extremely fierce, and even when I saw the enemy soldiers stabbed by bayonets, they still slashed down the officers and soldiers of our army next to them with their knives. Since the lord of this county has followed his father to conquer the traitors from all sides for the Ming court, he has been in the army for many years, and he has never seen an army so fierce. After that, she glanced at Shi Lang mischievously and said: "Especially someone's subordinates, when they were charged with a bayonet by the Dongfan soldiers of the younger brother of the county lord, someone's army collapsed!" ”

Shi Lang smiled, and knew very well in his heart that Li Huamei was once again playing Zhang Guan and Li Dai's ridiculous game to relieve her inner impatience, and pressed the example of Li Huabao's Dongfan soldiers braving artillery fire to carry out bayonet assault on Gulangyu Island on her head. But that time it was your in-law who was driven out of the fort by the Dongfan soldiers, and Zheng Zhilong, the current admiral of the sailor, is it okay? At that time, I was holding back the naval forces of the Nanyue Army on Nanao Island. Alas! I owe you Li Huamei, if you don't squeeze me for a day, it seems that the sweat and pores all over your body are uncomfortable.

However, it was inconvenient to fight back in front of Mo Yu, so he had to try to change the topic: "I definitely can't beat the county lord, but the county lord, you can't just say that others don't want to do it themselves." Brigade Commander Mo can't rush up, the county lord has to find a way to rush up, otherwise you, as the master, won't be the same rice bucket as us. ”

Li Huamei pretended to be angry and glared at Shi Lang, snorted and said, "When this girl is like you, that fat-headed fish, you come over to me and tell me what you think." ”

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but laugh, although the atmosphere in Li Huamei's tent was strict, and the sea breeze with a salty smell blew from time to time outside, rolling snowflakes and fluttering, blowing the military flags outside the camp tent and the armor and robes of the soldiers on the station, which made the atmosphere here look majestic. But when everyone heard this name, the muscles on their faces twitched a few times, obviously holding back a smile.

As soon as Li Huamei's words fell, a burly female soldier leader with a big head trotted over, holding the sonorous saber and short fire gun and sub-medicine box on her waist as she ran, and muttered and complained: "County Lord, how many times have I told you, my nickname is Fat Ya, not a fat fish." Seeing the fat girl running, several people couldn't help laughing, because her body was not flexible enough, and her head was big, she really looked like a fathead fish jumping around on land. The county lord is really different, and the young lady of the official eunuch of other big families named the maid, all of which are flowers, flowers, flowers, snow, moon, peace, auspiciousness and festivity.

When the fat-headed fish ran in front of everyone, he immediately put away the informal attitude between him and Li Huamei, and solemnly saluted the county lord Niangniang, Mo Yu, Wu Sangui and the generals present, and then said: "County Lord, Brigade Commander Mo, in fact, our battle in the past few days has been a bit of a bull's horn. You guys! (Fathead Fish pointed to the generals of the Mountain Navy and Ning Yuanjun who were standing on both sides with an embarrassed face) They are used to relying on the firepower of the guns, and they are busy without the guns and don't know how to fight. Forget how we can fight without firearms?! Outcome. The Tartars used firearms to defend against us, killed and wounded our attacking soldiers in large numbers, and then used swords, guns, and axes to engage in hand-to-hand combat with our soldiers and horses who rushed into the chest wall of the trench. Our soldiers were driven out by the Tartars with knives and axes again and again! ”

Fathead Fish is a sharp-toothed woman, and she is also the leader of Li Huamei's personal soldiers, so she naturally will not show mercy to these people in her words. said it to the point, which made the faces of these generals and deputy generals feverish, not because they lost the battle, but because they were counted down by a woman. It's a bit unbearable.

"Yesterday the county lord told our sisters about this. How to reduce casualties, rush into the chest wall of the trench of the Tartars and fight it. We had a meeting. As the saying goes, three stinkers, one Zhuge Liang. We have so many stinkers. Can't get a Zhuge Liang yet? Finally, something suddenly occurred to me. In the past, the clans of the two Guangxi and the land fought with each other in order to compete for mountains and forests and water, and the anti-bow and arrow was not a big wooden shield, which was relatively rich. So I got a cart and put the shield in front. Isn't there a shield cart in the camp now? Every time the Tartars attack the city, don't they also use shield carts to defend the artillery fire at the head of the city? They can use our methods to build fortifications against us, and we can use their methods to break through their positions! ”

"In addition, with our manpower, material and financial resources, we can install rubber wheels and springs to absorb shocks on the existing shield carts, and we can fix iron pieces on wooden shields to enhance defense. Yesterday, dozens of firearms were used to concentrate on the modified shield car. The test results showed that within twenty steps, the musket would never be able to penetrate, plus our car was fast, pushing it was like flying, and before the enemy on the opposite side could react, it was too late to move the artillery! I'm afraid that their big Buddha machine has not moved the muzzle of the cannon, and our people will rush forward in an instant. County Lord, we have tried, the current artillery in the army, artillery fire under six pounds, is not very destructive to this kind of modified shield car. Plus! The little hemp pole said, we guys have to change it too, the musket is too long, and it is inconvenient to use. We should gather the short fire guns in the army, and all those who rush up in the first wave will use short fire guns and broadswords! ”

"Everyone has three or four short guns on their backs, and when they rush, they hide behind the shield cart and put on the medicine, and when the Tartar rushes out from behind the trench and the chest wall according to the usual tricks, suddenly a guy comes to him, and they will shoot a salvo at most, and we can hit him for three or four rounds! It's a pity that we have too few double-barreled short firearms, otherwise we will match them with the selectors, so that they can shoot out two rounds of salvos as soon as they raise their hands, which is guaranteed to make the Tartars too addicted! ”

"In addition to the short firearms, we also have horsetail grenades! There can be a special person carrying a grenade in the selection of the striker, who is responsible for throwing it first towards the Tartar's counterattack formation in the charging formation, so as to ensure that the person who blows up his dog day will turn on his back! In addition, each person brought a steel knife and prepared to use it in melee combat to chop off the heads of the thieves! I don't believe it, our soldiers rushed to the front by relying on the shield cart, minimizing casualties, and when their soldiers and horses came out to fight back, we bombarded with firearms, grenades, and bombardments, so that his soldiers and horses lost more than half, and the formation was chaotic, I don't believe that he could fight down like this, he Liaodong anti-thieves can still hold on, there are really three heads? ! ”

The fathead fish's words surprised Shi Lang, and it was really a clever plan.

Outside Li Huamei's big tent, there was already another leader of the pro-soldiers, the little hemp pole in the mouth of the fat-headed fish, with dozens of pro-soldiers pushing the modified wooden shield car with iron sheets, rubber tires, and springs for shock absorption, and lined up there for the generals to watch.

These fifty people, as the fat-headed fish said, each carried a machete made of iron and steel on their backs, and the red tassels more than a foot long brushed the cheeks of the officers and soldiers from time to time in the cold wind. In addition to the ten men who pushed the shield cart, thirty people carried short fire guns in their hands and shoulders, and sub-medicine boxes hung on their chests. The thin waist that was broken by the cowhide belt, and the straight and prominent chest that stood up, saw that several veterans couldn't help but swallow their saliva secretly.

Ten other men, except for the broadsword, did not have a short fire on their bodies, only a huge wattle basket at their feet, and in their hands held a thick straw rope, which had been boiled with yellow wax, and shook it a little in the air, and a little spark appeared at one end of the straw rope. The wattle basket under his feet is full of horsetail grenades, which are like meteor hammers when picked up, and if they are lit and thrown into the swarming Liaodong anti-thief team, it will be a lot of fun!

The generals present saw this equipment and the tactics of the newly promoted performance, and they praised each other. With this method, it is possible to reduce casualties by at least 20% when passing through the open ground between the guò trenches. Not to mention that there are follow-up tricks for lack of morality. Even if you are driven out of the trench by the Tartars again, you can also use the space of fighting in the trench to put a large number of troops to press it, relying on shield vehicles and other chariots for defensive operations.

"Mother!" A general of Ning Yuanjun's army didn't care about the stares of the people around him at all, and his mouth was very affectionate and natural to Li Huamei, and his tone was full of the way of the son of man. "In my son's humble opinion, we can also add quilts to the shield carts, I see that the Liao thieves' cars often have raw cowhides to defend against projectiles, we can't find so many raw cowhides for a while, but quilts and seawater, loess and sand are there! We wet the quilt with seawater, cover it with sediment, and spread a layer of quilt, so that the cannon falls on it, and it will not help! ”

After reading it, Mo Yu was like falling into an ice cave, and said in his heart that you are a fat girl, he is more ruthless than a man, who made you come up with these bad ideas? ! It's over, fight like this, I think the Liaodong anti-thieves are going to return to their positions. But he couldn't say this, Mo Yu had to pretend to be surprised and said: "Fat girl, you really have two hits, when you go back, I will let the lord reward you well." ”

But I saw the fat girl and said: "County Lord, say okay, I'll come up with a way for you, you wait for us to go back to Hue, you have to let the trading company make me the most beautiful wedding dress in Nanzhong alone!" It's hard for someone to propose marriage, and if the wedding dress is not good, I won't be able to get married. ”

Li Huamei smiled and teased the fat girl and said: "Fathead fish, you are also a big girl, you marry people in front of the public all day long, and you don't know how to be ashamed." Alright, I'll do what I promised you. In addition, talk to the chef and say that he will open a small stove with your sisters, which is a reward. When the fat girl heard this, she was overjoyed and was about to leave, but Li Huamei suddenly added: "But don't eat too much fish, you already look like a fat fish!" (To be continued......)
