Chapter 237: Night Attack on Gaizhou Wei

Just as everyone was blowing hard, several ruffians ran in from outside the camp and went directly to Wang Bo and them, panting and sitting on the ground. Wang Bo smiled and said, "Have you found any acquaintances, have you inquired about any news?" ”

A strong man picked up the kettle on his waist and poured a sip of water, then wiped his mouth and said: "I went to those two camps today and found out that the feelings are all the soldiers who escaped when we were paid off in the Dongjiang River, and these guys are fat." The first time I hit North Korea, I got a lot of silver after picking up the leftovers of my buttocks. The second time he hit Japan, he choked Japan enough, and each person also divided a dozen taels.

Lao Tzu regrets dying now, and he would have run with them if he knew it, and he could get twenty or thirty taels of silver at the worst. I just don't know who we're going to fight this time, it's better to be North Korea, those guys are the least beaten. ”

Wang Bo sneered and said, "What kind of pig brain are you, do you still need to guess this?" Look at the clothes we distributed, fools know that this time it must be a tartar. Do you need to wear such a thick one to beat others? ”

The surrounding soldiers were also stunned when they heard this, they didn't expect this stubble, and now what Wang Bo said really makes sense. A few ruffians who were still blowing just now suddenly turned bitter.

As long as it is the Ming army that has seen the battle with the Tartars, they have a sense of fear of the Houjin Eight Banner army. The combat effectiveness of the Houjin Tartars is indeed not comparable to that of the Ming army. Even the most powerful Guanning Iron Cavalry in Liaozhen lost more than he won when he saw the Tartars.

Regarding the combat effectiveness of the Houjin Tartars, everyone has different opinions, and many forums have even developed to the point of scolding each other. In fact, there is no need to be so excited, after all, none of us have personally experienced that period of history, and we can only take a few words recorded in the history books as our own arguments. But is the stuff recorded in the history books reliable?

Let's not talk about what is recorded in the history books for the time being. After all, history is written by literati, and as long as it is written by people, it is inevitable that it will be brilliant or slanderous.

It took Nurhachi 34 years to complete the cause of unifying the Jurchen tribes. It can be said that they have been fighting all these years, and the Tartars who live by fishing and hunting are born warriors, not to mention that they have also experienced countless baptisms of battles, and they have grown up in battle, how can their combat effectiveness be poor.

Zhang Tiezhu saw that the group of soldiers around him were wilted, and said angrily: "If you want to say that we were afraid of Tartars before, it is true. I can't eat enough every day, and the tartar is carrying dozens of pounds of big knives, and I really can't fucking bear it. Now we have three full meals a day, and we also eat meat at one meal, and we have endured nearly 100 days of suffering, and our bodies and bones are like iron. Tartar is a fart!"

Wang Bo also said gloomily: "Now Lao Tzu can kill a few Tartar White Fang Lama soldiers with this fire gun." The heavy arrows of the Tartar can shoot dozens of paces at most, and Lao Tzu's fire bolt can break his head more than a hundred steps away. Besides, with this armor on our bodies, can the sword of the Tartar be able to cut it? ”

A soldier ruffian also said excitedly: "I heard from the soldiers of those two battalions that these overseas people are so powerful that they can fight continuously." There are also their artillery, which can shoot more than ten miles, and can tear down an earthen fort with one shot. ”

Everyone listened to his words and didn't believe it at all, they were also old soldiers, and they had seen a lot of firecrackers and cannons, so they had never heard of such a guy.

"Don't listen to those guys bragging, they also hit more than ten miles with one shot, paralyzed, I have seen tens of thousands of catties of red-clothed cannons, and they can't hit ten miles."

"It's even more fucking bullshit, how to pretend to be a medicine, I've been fighting bird guns for more than ten years, and I've never seen anything like that, and these guys don't know how to fight after two battles. Just bluff a turtle like you. ”

Everyone talked for a while, and the atmosphere began to be lively again. But the mood of these ruffians was not as relaxed as it was just now. Not only these veteran ruffians, but also the soldiers of the other two camps also cast a shadow on their hearts.

After all, they have all seen the fierceness of the Tartars, these years the Ming army has lost Shenyang Liaoyang, and only Jinzhou Ningyuan is left in Liaodong, but the Ming army of more than 100,000 has spent so much Liao salary every year, and they have not recovered an inch of Liao land.

It blew so loudly that it shook the sky, and if Ning Jin was guarded, it was said to be a great victory, and the good news was beautifully written. But I didn't see any Ming army dare to go out of the city and fight with the Tartars. You can only huddle in a few fortresses to watch the scenery, and let the Tartars roam freely outside the city, what kind of battle is this fighting?

Zhao Si took a silk cloth to wipe the katana in his hand, and the previous scenes kept recalling in his mind. He had caught up with several major battles that year, when he was still a teenager and a half-year-old, and he was lucky enough to crawl out of the pile of dead, and then he was captured by the Tartars, tortured, and did not settle down until he fled to Dongjiang Town.

He couldn't forget when the army collapsed, the Tartars' horse team followed the rout and slaughtered wantonly, that miserable, how many brothers died. I feel depressed when I think about it now. He was different from the ruffians in the camp, and after nearly a year of training, he felt that even if he met a Tartar, he would dare to fight with them.

A few days later, the troops were all ready, and they boarded ships and sailed north. They temporarily anchored at the forward base on Ocean Island to replenish supplies and ammunition. After two days of recuperation here, the fleet began to sail to the western coast of southern Liaoning.

The large army first landed on Lianhua Island on the coast of Gaizhouwei and destroyed a tunbao there. Song Tao and the special combat team, with a group of elites selected from among the soldiers, sat on two landing craft and more than a dozen sailing boats converted from North Korean warships, and went up the Qinghe River, directly under the Acropolis of Gaizhou, and took advantage of the night to seize the city. The large army landed in Gaizhou and swept the Qiding villages in the area around Gaizhou City.

There is a tunbao built on the seaside of Lianhua Island, where dozens of Tartars are stationed, and there are several villages on the island.

The tunbao here was set up to defend against the sneak attack of those soldiers in Dongjiang Town, because of the drastic changes in Dongjiang Town in recent months, the threat of the southern Liaoning coast no longer exists, so now the coastal tunbao is not generally relaxed.

At this time, it was the early winter season, the coast of Gaizhou had not yet frozen, and the two landing craft slowly landed on the beachhead of Lianhua Island under the cover of night.

The weather was very cold at night in early winter, and the Tartar who was in charge of standing guard had already returned to sleep in the bed, and since Mao Wenlong was killed, the threat of southern Liaoning was lifted, and Houjin was relieved from top to bottom. It was too uncomfortable to have this dog skin plaster from Dongjiang Town on their backs, and now it has finally stopped, and it is estimated that it will not be harassing them for a year or two.

Therefore, the Tartar soldiers and several bannermen guarding Lianhua Island were unknowingly destroyed by the special combat team at night. Li Ming saw that Lianhua Island had been controlled by the special combat team, so he left a company of the overseas corps on the island.

Song Tao led the elite of two battalions of the overseas corps to raid Gaizhouwei along the Qinghe River by boat. Li Ming landed with a large army and swept away the villages of Tunpu and Qiding along the coast of Gaizhou.

At this time, it was early in the morning, and the two landing craft marched in columns, taking advantage of the dark night to advance to Gaizhou, which was not far away. It was followed by a dozen wooden sailboats, carrying two battalions of the Overseas Corps.

Wang Bo, Zhang Tiehammer and a group of ruffians stood in the second-floor cabin of the wooden sailboat, holding the weapons in their hands tightly with both hands, with nervous expressions on their faces.

These veteran ruffians have done such a thing, but this is the first time to hit a big city like Gaizhou. A tall lanky soldier next to Wang Bo muttered.

"There are at least a few hundred Tartars guarding the city in Gaizhou, and I'm afraid that our people won't be able to attack it."

Zhang Tiezhu also said in a sullen voice: "The battle is not fought like this, such a big city, is it right for a large group of people to attack the city again, let us attack the city in the dark, isn't this nonsense." We have less than 10,000 people in total, and even if we all press it, it will take a few days to take Gaizhou. ”

Wang Bo frowned tightly and said, "These overseas people are evil, what kind of battle are they fighting." There were already few people, and they were still thinking about dividing the troops, and when the Tartars reacted, if a team of hundreds of horses was gathered, more than 1,000 of us would have to be rushed several times.

They are muttering quietly here, all worried, they are all veterans who have fought in the war, at least they are familiar with the battle array, but they are familiar with the battle formation of the Ming army in this era.

Finally, they stopped at a river beach not far from Gaizhou. The platoon leaders of each squad whispered to urge everyone to get off the boat, and then formed a team by the river and continued to touch Gaizhou City.

There were no torches in the whole team, and each platoon commander was equipped with a night vision device, and Wang Bo and the other ruffians tied their arms into a string with ropes and followed behind the platoon commander one by one.

Song Tao walked at the front of the team wearing a night vision device, he suddenly raised his fist, and the team behind him stumbled to a halt one after another. Song Tao made a few moves towards several special combat teams around him, and Liu Baoguo and Wang Xiaojie led a team of people respectively to run along the city wall of Gaizhou to both sides.

Song Tao held a thermal imager telescope and used headphones to choose a location for them to go to the city. The location was determined, a few throwing hooks were launched, and they were hung on the women's wall at the head of the city, and several special combat team members quickly climbed up.

Gaizhou City is not very big, and the head of the city is only five or six meters high, and several special combat team members climbed up to the head of the city in a few clicks, took out a Glock pistol with a muffler, and began to clean up the Tartar defenders along the city head.

In the early winter morning, the weather was cold, and most of the Tartars who had been guarding the city went back to sleep. Only a few people were left to guard the city wall, and they all dozed off, so the movements of the special combat team members were unusually smooth.

In this era, the siege of the city is generally not chosen at night, unless someone in the city helps open the city gate, and it is nonsense to attack the city in the dark at night like this. So the walls at night are very safe.

Song Tao was the last to climb the city wall, and at this time the other special combat team members had already taken control of the city head. Song Tao made a few gestures, and the special combat team was divided into four groups, and they touched the direction of the four city gates. R1152
