Chapter 173: Returning the Captives Li Jing sneak attacked

Liu Yun and the others rushed all the way to kill Hukou in front of the city gate. Due to the telegraph in advance and the Hukou garrison, Liu Yun and his brigade went directly through the city of Hukou and came to the camp prepared by the 7th Infantry Division in Hukou. When they arrived at the camp, they didn't know how the Mongol prisoners felt after entering the killing of Hukou, but Liu Yun and the others felt much more relaxed.

But early the next morning, Liu Yun and the others had not yet sent the captives away from Hukou when they received a telegram from Chen Yufeng and them.

Liu Yun felt that the Qing army and the Mongols seemed to be very clever in calculating that they would attack when they left. But Liu Yun did not tell everyone about the situation, and only marched towards Niutou Mountain with the captives as planned. An infantry regiment and a cavalry regiment were involved in transporting the captives, and after two days they brought them to the railway in front of Niutou Mountain. There is a train waiting for them here.

The train would transport the captives directly to the smelter, where Yan Boju had already sent more than a thousand policemen, plus the original smelter guards, which was enough to keep an eye on the captives. Besides, these captives don't know where they are, and if they don't get out of the way, they will be killed by the Han Chinese. The average one doesn't run away.

After arranging for the departure of the first train, Liu Yun handed over the remaining prisoners to the infantry regiment and cavalry regiment left behind, and took the others without stopping, changing horses and running until Hu Kou did not rest.

Everyone knows that something must have happened, otherwise, Liu Yun would not have urged everyone so urgently.

When it came to killing Hukou, Liu Yun announced to everyone: "Just when we arrived at killing Hukou, the Qing army and the Mongolian army had already begun to march towards naturalization. We will rest for the night tonight, and tomorrow morning, we will immediately go straight to Dongshengzhou to stand by. ”

Liu Yun's words immediately lifted everyone's hearts. Because this time, a total of two cavalry divisions and one infantry division were released. Now a cavalry division is killing Hukou, especially now that it has to guard a Baotou. In the evening, even Li Kui, who likes to drink very much, didn't dare to drink, and everyone rested early.

Li Jing didn't worry at all, and said to Liu Yun: "It's okay, there is no big problem for our people to defend the city." We're more mobile outside, and we're looking for an opportunity to give them a bit of a soft spot from them, maybe even more of a surprise. ”

"The big war is coming, we still listen to Uncle Shi, and we will go straight to Dongshengzhou tomorrow to standby. I think Uncle Shi and Mr. Ouyang He will make arrangements. Liu Yun said, "Let's rest early." ”

In fact, Chen Yufeng and Ouyang He were not in a hurry about the arrival of the Qing army and the Mongol soldiers, they waited until Liu Yun and they arrived to kill Hukou before notifying them by telegram. However, Ouyang He's suggestion was that they did not need to return to naturalization, but went to Dongshengzhou first. Because from there it maneuvers around the periphery and is more flexible to use. As for the defense and naturalization, with the equipment of those Qing troops, there is no way to help the defenders who have enough ammunition, and no matter how many of them are, it is useless.

After the Sunit vanguard fled back, the leader of the Sunit almost didn't kill the few who escaped. They had already informed the naturalized defenders that the army had arrived.

When Ezhe reported the situation to Azig, Azig's men feared that the naturalized defenders would abandon the city when they heard that their army had arrived.

Azig immediately ordered, and the army quickly moved forward to encircle and naturalize. Of course, the first to step forward were the Mongol soldiers.

What made them feel strange was that no one in the Naturalization City fled except for the four gates closed. Only a few soldiers in the city were looking out, and they couldn't see any nervousness.

Ouyang He's order to Liu Chenghuang was to let the soldiers observe with binoculars and discover the opponent's artillery position, and let the artillery destroy them as soon as possible.

Although Prince Tori had the Yaogang people to accompany him, the soldiers of Yaogang went to Baotou a little, and the prisoners left a little, and there were not many soldiers in the naturalization city. Prince Torrey, who couldn't help it, came to Chen Yufeng's headquarters and asked Chen Yufeng: "Mr. Chen, when will your General Liu Yun's soldiers come back?" ”

Chen Yufeng said, "Your Royal Highness, don't worry. We have enough soldiers to defend the city? ”

"They're 100,000 horses?" Prince Tori listened to Chen Yufeng's words and was not at ease.

"We still have a few thousand, and your soldiers are more than fifteen thousand, and there are many civilians. Enough to defend the city. Chen Yufeng said.

"Those people, in the end, they are desperate, how can they fight?" Prince Tori was a little anxious.

"We have a lot of hands here, and when they attack the city, they just let the people throw them under the city with their hands, and they don't need to fight." Chen Yufeng still said unhurriedly: "When they have attacked enough, we will attack them." ”

Ouyang He came over and said, "Doesn't His Royal Highness the Prince believe us?" ”

"No, no, I absolutely believe in you." Prince Tori didn't dare to say that he didn't believe Chen Yufeng and them now.

"We have such good weapons, we have tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians together, and if each person kills a few of them, they will have no one." Ouyang He said.

Prince Tori smiled bitterly and said, "If the people can kill a few of them, do we still need to hide in Daqing Mountain?" ”

Chen Yufeng smiled and said, "Your Royal Highness, let's make a bet today." If we let all the people you can go up to the wall kill a few enemies, will you lose? ”

"I'm willing to bet, what do you say?"

"I haven't figured out what to bet on, let's talk about it when I win!" Chen Yufeng said.

Prince Tori had already relaxed, and seeing that Chen Yufeng and Ouyang He were not in a hurry, Prince Tori knew that they must have a plan in their hearts.

Liu Chenghuang had already asked the soldiers to move boxes of hands to the city wall. Arrange them according to the battlements of the city wall. Heavy machine guns and mortars were also mounted on the walls.

The artillery scouts had already marked the firing elements of various targets outside the city.

Although the Qing army and the Mongol army surrounded the naturalization on the periphery. But it will take a long time to be ready for the attack. Because the deployment of hundreds of thousands of troops is definitely not a simple matter.

At this time, Chen Yufeng and Ouyang He had nothing to do. Liu Chenghuang and Qin Peng are very competent, and they can arrange everything very well.

After Li Yunhe and the others arrived at naturalization, according to Chen Yufeng's orders, Li Kui took the regiment he took to Baotou and returned to Baotou. Li Kui left at dawn the next day, and Li Jing also took his people out of the city with him. Li Jing said to Liu Yun: "Our people can't wait stupidly. I took them out to scout. ”

Liu Yun had no choice, he couldn't stop him if he knew, and besides, he also wanted to know about the situation outside. He said, "Take the radio, be careful!" ”

Li Jing and Li Kui left the city gate of Dongshengzhou and were about to break up with Li Kui. Li Kui asked, "Boy, where are you going this time?" ”

"Confidential!" Li Jing deliberately angered Li Kui.

Li Kui scolded: "Stinky boy! He turned around and walked away.

Li Jing had already thought about it, he couldn't go to the direction of naturalization to reconnoitre, there were just some large army camps surrounding naturalization, which was of little use. Li Jing decided to intervene in the march of the Qing and Mongol armies.

Both the Qing army and the Mongol army fought in wars all year round and had a lot of experience in warfare. On the way to the march of their brigade, they released many flank detachments from a distance to cover the safety of the brigade. Li Jing and the others galloped all the way north, and in the afternoon, they didn't dare to run too fast. Because along the way, they encountered quite a few flank guard detachments. With Li Jing's ability, they were able to eliminate these squads, but they could also easily expose themselves. So they tried to avoid them as much as possible. It was not until dark that they came to the main road on which the Qing and Mongolian armies marched.

Li Jing took his people and found the ditch where the rain washed out and hid. Li Jing didn't want to break in at night when the situation was unknown. Not daring to make a fire at night, they all ate a little dry food and beef jerky. The compressed biscuits on my body were not willing to use them.

The sky was hazy, and one of Li Jing's soldiers climbed to the tree and looked around with a telescope for a while, then quickly slid down the tree and said, "Head! We may have met the big fish. ”

Li Jing's eyes lit up when she heard this, "Say it quickly!" What's going on? ”

"There seems to be an artillery camp in front. There seemed to be a lot of artillery in the camp. ”

Li Jing thought to herself, how could it be so coincidental. Not at ease, Li Jing personally climbed to the tree and observed with a telescope. Due to the distance, it was seen as if it was an artillery camp. In order to determine whether the target was an artillery camp, Li Jing came down from the tree and ran in the direction of the battalion with several people wearing grass camouflage uniforms. When they were approaching the camp, Li Jing and the others crawled forward instead, they climbed behind a bush, took out the binoculars and took a closer look, Li Jing's heart jumped a few times, and his heart said, "Oh my God! "It turned out that this was really an artillery camp of the Qing army, and there were at least thirty or forty large artillery guns in the camp. There were also rows of horse-drawn carriages beside them, and the carriages were full of barrels. The barrel must be full of **.

The camp is under fire for cooking, and outside the camp, it is temporarily fenced off with a wooden fence. There were many soldiers standing guard next to the wooden fence. Li Jing hurriedly waved her hand to the people around her and led them to crawl back quietly.

Back in the ditch, Li Jing gathered everyone together and said, "We found an artillery camp of the Qing army. These cannons are too heavy at first glance, and they can't travel far on the steppe every day. We still rest during the day, and the edge of this ditch is covered with trees, which is very hidden. We don't go out, we move at night, and everyone has a good rest. In the evenings we went out to play with them! ”

The special forces were happy to hear this. However, it is not easy to rest for a day and hide in the ditch, and it is also necessary to calm the horses and prevent them from neighing.

Li Jing did not forget to send a telegram to Chen Yufeng and their headquarters, telling them that he had found the Qing army's artillery camp and wanted to find an opportunity to attack at night.

Chen Yufeng's call back is also very simple: act carefully!

The Qing army suffered the losses of the Ming army's artillery in several battles with the Ming army, so that the Qing officers and soldiers had a period of time when they mentioned the Ming army's artillery. However, because a large number of Ming troops surrendered to the Qing army, they also brought the technology of cannon casting to the Qing army. Because the Qing army had suffered the loss of artillery, they knew the role of artillery in the war, and attached great importance to artillery.

This time, Azig's Qing army brought a lot of artillery. This is also a pillar of confidence that Azig is very confident in fighting with the Han people of Yaogang. He told his subordinates: "The Han people have new firearms, and we also have newly cast cannons. Let them taste the cannons as well. ”

Azig has always been haunted by the last time Abatai entered the customs with a white flag, and was almost wiped out by the kiln gangsters. So many of his brave warriors did not come back, and Abatai's reason was simply that those Han people were too cunning and their firearms were too good. Azig really couldn't accept it, he thought it was because of Abatai's stupid command incompetence that caused his white flag to suffer heavy losses.

These newly cast cannons were so heavy that each cannon required a lot of horses to pull it. Especially in the grassland, it is even more difficult for the wooden wheeler to move in the grass. They couldn't help it, so they changed the horse-drawn artillery cart to an ox-drawn one. Although the oxen pull the cart slower, the ox has more strength, and it is faster on the grassland. But in this case, the artillery carriage will be far behind the march of the brigade. Originally, the army in front had completed the encirclement of naturalization, but the artillery carriages were still behind. Now the caliber of the artillery to the front is too small to exert too much pressure on naturalization, Azig ordered the besieging troops not to attack first, and wait for the artillery to come up.

The Qing army knew the importance of artillery, and the guards of the artillery battalion did not use Mongolian soldiers, and they were in charge of the elite of Gushan with two oxen and white flags. But the cannon wagon was so slow that it couldn't go much in a day, so they pulled at the back of the brigade.

However, when the front brigade passed, a lot of vigilant search troops were sent to the two wings, but nothing was found, and this Gushan, who was in charge of the artillery battalion guards, thought that those timid Han people had already hid in the naturalization city.

Li Jing and his special forces hid in that ditch for a day during the day, and they didn't come out until the sun was about to set, and followed the Qing artillery battalion in the direction of naturalization, following the rut marks pressed out by the artillery truck. When it got dark, Li Jing and the others saw the camp set up by the Qing army again.

Li Jing observed and saw that there were many torches lit in the camp, obviously making food and feeding the horses. Just when they wanted to get closer, Li Jing saw more than 20 Qing cavalry, riding out of the camp. Li Jing understood that this was a patrol sent by the guards of the artillery battalion, and it seemed that the vigilance of the Qing army was still very high. However, these cavalrymen happened to come to the place where Li Jing and they were ambushed.

Li Jing had another flash of inspiration in his mind, and immediately made a gesture to his soldiers. The soldiers passed Li Jing's orders to each other with their hands. Li Jing meant to destroy them. The soldiers, dressed in grass camouflage uniforms, quickly dispersed. When this group of cavalry ran to Li Jing's ambush circle, there was a burst of "poof" sounds. Before they could react, they were all killed.

Li Jing's men got up first and grabbed the war horse. Li Jing ordered the armor of the Qing soldiers to be taken off and replaced, and Li Jing also personally changed into a set of Qing soldier armor.

But I didn't immediately lead people to the Qing army camp, because the Qing soldiers were having dinner, and if they went in now, they would be discovered quickly. By the time the camp had fallen silent, the Qing soldiers who had been on the road for a day, except for those who stood guard, had already fallen asleep in the camp. Li Jingcai led people to run towards the camp.

Gushan, who was in charge of the guards of the artillery battalion, knew that nothing would happen, but he knew that his responsibility was too great, otherwise Azig would not let himself be a dignified Gushan in charge of guards. So after setting up camp, he still sent a team of cavalry to inspect the surroundings. But he didn't expect that the cavalry who went out to patrol did not come back for a long time. He thought it was a little strange, but he didn't expect that they would be wiped out silently, because they wouldn't be too far from the camp, and even if something happened, someone would run back to report it. Those are elite cavalry.

He was too tired of waiting, and Gushan was too sleepy after a tense day, so he told the soldiers guarding the door to pay attention to leaving a letter for the cavalry who did not return from patrol, and to keep food for them in the kitchen. Gushan went back to his tent and slept.

When Li Jing and the others came to the camp gate, the soldiers standing guard knew that it was the patrolling cavalry who had returned, so they moved away from their horses, wanting to let them in directly, and then told them to go to the kitchen to eat. But when they noticed that something was wrong with the cavalry, they all waved their hands on their horses and killed them, and immediately several horsemen jumped off their horses and took their spears to stand guard for them, and their bodies were dragged aside.

After Li Jing and the others made a round, they rode towards the stable. When they came to the stable, several horsemen immediately came to pick up their horses, and when these horsemen found out that it was not the person they were waiting for, they were also shot and killed by Li Jing. Silently, of course.

Li Jing and the others came to the back and dealt with all the grooms. Li Jing observed it in the stable, and found that there were people moving in the tent in the kitchen, and there were a few sentries next to the gun carriage over there, and there were also a few sentries next to the ** car.

Li Jing felt that the kitchen didn't have to worry about it, and she had to clear the sentries of the gun truck and the ** car first. The trouble though, is that the gun truck is on one side of the camp, and the ** car is on the other side of the camp.

Li Jing gave orders to the special forces with gestures, and sent out two teams to deal with the sentries on the side of the gun truck and the ** car respectively.

Soon, the two groups of special forces split up to deal with the sentinels. The sentries in these camps were even more careless. Because there is another layer of sentries outside the camp, the special forces are even more of a piece of cake for them. Soon the sentries were replaced by special forces. Li Jing immediately asked the special forces to take out a few of those horses, come to the first car, put on the horses, and lead them to the front of the gun car. In this way, Li Jing and they were in the camp, and a total of more than a dozen ** cars were pulled in front of the gun truck.

In fact, there were Qing army sentries outside the camp, but although they saw carts and horses moving back and forth in the camp, they couldn't see who was moving in the camp. Li Jing: This is how bold they pulled the ** car down in front of the gun truck in the camp.

Seeing that it was almost over, Li Jing took out two timed ** from the backpack behind her, and set the time to explode in fifteen minutes. Since Li Jing was also using timer ** for the first time, he didn't know if this thing was easy to use, so he used two. He put the timer ** on the two ** cars.

Put it down, Li Jing knows that she doesn't have to scruple about anything at this time, the best way is to run away. Li Jing waved her hand and made a retreat gesture. His special forces immediately ran over, led the horse, turned over and got on the horse, and followed Li Jing towards the camp gate. The special forces who stood guard for the Qing army at the camp gate knew that Li Jing and they had succeeded, so they also took the horse and turned over on the horse, and followed Li Jing and them to the grassland in the dark night in the distance.

Li Jing and the others ran out, and the Qing soldiers who were standing guard on the periphery were a little confused, who ran out in the middle of the night. In particular, they saw that the sentry at the gate of the camp was gone, and that the horses in front of the gate were wide open. When they looked over, the sentries were lying on the ground, and they knew that it was not good, and that it must be the enemy's spies who stole the camp. The sentinels knew that this camp was too important, and those ** were too dangerous. They immediately sounded the alarm horn. The Gushan and Qing soldiers who were in charge of the guards rushed out of their tents. After Gushan heard the situation, his clothes were soaked in a cold sweat. He immediately looked at the ** car. found that the ** car was got into the gun truck, and he understood that someone wanted to blow up these cannons with the ** car.

Gushan shouted: "Quickly move the ** car away!" Hurry! Come on! "The voice has been transposed.

Gushan ran over, looked around, and found that it was okay, there was no trace of ignition, he thought that the enemy who must have been sneaking up was discovered, and ran away before he had time to ignite the fire.

Gushan wiped his sweat and continued to command the soldiers to come over and push the carriage together.

But before they could push far, the ** car exploded.

Li Jing and the ** of more than a dozen carriages rushed over lifted dozens of cannons into the air together, and detonated the ** of dozens of cars over there. These ** immediately blew up the entire camp. The explosion produced a large fireball, which was several tens of meters high. Although Li Jing and the others ran out for more than ten minutes, they still felt the power of the explosion. The shock wave generated by the explosion made Li Jing, who looked back, feel the shock.

Li Jing said excitedly: "Send a report to the headquarters: We have successfully detonated the Qing artillery camp with their **." It was judged that all the artillery in the camp of the Qing army was blown up. We immediately moved away from the areas. ”

Li Jing watched the telegraph operator send the telegram and ordered: "We can't rest tonight when we go south, let's go!" ”

Chen Yufeng and Ouyang He, who had just been lying down, were woken up by Qin Peng, who was on duty. Qin Peng handed the telegram sent back by Li Jing to Chen Yufeng, and after Chen Yufeng read it, he handed it to Ouyang He, who rushed over. After reading the telegram, Ouyang He said with a smile: "Li Jing, they are really amazing. ”

Qin Peng said: "Just now, we heard an explosion in the distance, and it was probably Li Jing and them who did it." ”

"If you can hear it from such a distance, the explosion must be very powerful. This incident will have a great impact on the morale of the Qing army. Ouyang He said.

Ouyang He said: "Little rabbit cub, it's okay when it's critical!" I'm afraid that they will fall in love with the war and suffer a big loss. ”

"No, Li Jing telegraphed that it wasn't said. They will quickly leave that area. Explain that he is aware of the dangerous situation he finds himself in. Ouyang He said.

"I hope so!" Chen Yufeng is still not at ease.
