Black clouds drifted over, obscuring all the starlight.

Between heaven and earth, it quickly became pitch black, and I couldn't see my fingers.

Suddenly, I don't know where it was, there was a strange light, and everything in front of me slowly emerged. Perhaps, it was the fire from Fushan City. Today's Fushan City is destined to stay up all night and no one can sleep.

The two pork belly boats obviously didn't notice anything abnormal, they seemed to be ghosts sailing on the sea, slowly approaching the coast of Maojiatun. There was not the slightest light to be seen on the ship, it was pitch black, and it was not known what the Tartars would do next. If you hadn't received information before, you wouldn't have noticed it. Even, July has not yet passed, and it is very likely that it will be treated as a ghost ship by the ignorant people.

The shore is shallow, and large ships cannot dock, and they must be transferred to the deck to reach the shore. After the pork belly boat stopped, the tartars on the ship began to get busy. At this time, some shouting could be faintly heard. In the dark, the sampan was slowly lowered. The sampan falls on the surface of the water, and the water splashes and splashes slightly.

Zhang Zhun counted, a total of five sampans. According to the calculation that each sampan carries forty people, five sampans are two hundred people. In other words, the first wave of the Tartars' attack will not exceed two hundred troops, and it should only be half the number of Tartars. There were also half of the tartars, who had to wait for the sampan to return to fetch them, before they could go ashore.

This brought a test to Zhang Zhun, what should he do in the face of these two hundred people?

Fighting, you can basically annihilate these 200 people and make them all lie down on the beach. However, other Tartars may have escaped.

If you don't fight, you may be found out by the Tartars. Tartars are not stupid, if they find that the people of Maojiatun have moved out, they will definitely realize that there is something strange in this. If the Tartars had been so frightened that they had retreated immediately, the battle would have been prepared in vain.

The warship led by Yang Guohua, Zhou Zhengyu and others has not yet arrived at this time. If they had arrived earlier, the Tartars would have noticed that something was wrong earlier. If you want to destroy these two Tartar belly boats, you must wait for the Tartars to come ashore, and they are entangled by the escorts, and there is no way to retreat, before Yang Guohua and the others can appear. At that time, the Tartar pork belly boat, even if it wanted to escape, could not escape.

Half-crossed?

Clean sweep?

Yang Zhiyuan, Hao Linyong, and Yang Zixuan all waited for Zhang Zhun's orders.

To fight or not to fight?

If so, how?

"The Third Association stays, and the others all withdraw."

Zhang Zhun thought for a moment and said decisively.

Yang Zhiyuan and Hao Linyong immediately gave the order.

The fighters of the 1st and 2nd Concords, quickly retreated.

Only the soldiers of the Third Association continued to stay in Maojiatun.

These are several pre-formulated response plans, and it is naturally not difficult to implement. The warriors retreated to the second line of defense and waited quietly. Peng Bo and others, who were in charge of the mines, also retreated to the rear line of defense.

The sound of the boatman paddling continued to be heard, and the five sampans slowly approached the shore. The tartar on the sampan, the fish disembarked. The Tartar was apparently unaware of Maojiatun's anomaly. After getting off the boat, they separated directly and sneakily touched Maojiatun.

Sure enough, there were about two hundred Tartars.

In the darkness, only shadowy figures could be seen, and the expression on the face of the Tartar could not be seen clearly. As for which ones are real Tartars, which are two Tartars, and which are Han annihilation that is attached to Tartars, it is even more impossible to discern. One thing is certain, though, that all those who come down from the pig-belly boat tonight, whether Tartars or not, will die.

"Fire!"

Zhang Zhun shouted without hesitation.

"Bang bang bang!"

Yang Zixuan and the others immediately shot.

In the darkness, the muzzle of the tiger's gun continued to burst into flames.

The gunfire continued, breaking the silence of midnight in an instant.

Mini whistled towards the beach.

The Tartars, which had just come ashore, on a wide and flat beach, without any shelter, were just the best targets for Tiger Shots.

"Puff puff!"

More than a dozen Tartars were caught off guard and fell on the spot.

In the darkness, there was no blood flowing, only people falling.

"Ambush!"

Shots rang out, and all the Tartars were taken aback.

There are people waiting for them in Maojiatun!

It was so unexpected!

They were originally going to attack Fushan City, but they didn't expect that they actually hit the defenders' pockets headlong! Any Tartar, with his heels, can imagine what the consequences will be if he hits his head into the pocket of the enemy!

"Quack!"

Mu Geda hurriedly told his subordinates to be careful.

The leader of the Tartars is named Mu Geda, who is a Niu Lu Zhangjing of the Eight Banners of the Later Jin, who is extremely fierce and has outstanding achievements. In the past, Amin fought in all directions, and he took him with him. Whether it is the attack on the Jinning front, or the Eastern Expedition to Korea, or the first time to enter the fortress, he has his share. As a result, he has a lot of battlefield experience.

[Author's note: Niu Lu Zhangjing, that is, the original Niu Lu Ezhen.] Tiancong changed his name in eight years. In the seventeenth year of Shunzhi, it was renamed Zuoling. Niu Lu is the basic combat unit of Houjin, generally about 300 people. 】

This sneak attack on Fushan was made by Mu Geda who took the initiative to ask Shu Buru to lead the team. Although Shu Bulu is interested in Fushan City, he will not put all his troops into Fushan City. He was also uneasy about Sun Zhiqi and them. Therefore, Shuburu sent Mucutta to attack Fushan Castle, and he continued to sit on Tianheng Island to prevent accidents.

Hearing the gunshots, Mu Keda was also shocked. What is a sneak attack? Naturally, it is a surprise and an unpreparedness, if your actions have been detected by the enemy, then what is it called a sneak attack? What's worse is that they seem to have fallen into an ambush by the defenders.

"Whoosh!"

The Tartar archers kept shooting arrows in the direction from which the fire came.

Those fires, which are the bright lights that erupt when the firebolts are fired, are particularly conspicuous in the darkness. Tartar archers, squinting, can shoot arrows into the light.

However, the arrows of the Tartar had only flown half the distance from the fire, and they fell unwillingly. The distance between the fire and the Tartar was at least seventy or eighty zhang. Tartar archers do not have such a range.

"Shoot so far away......"

Kigada stupidly judged the situation of the battlefield.

At first, he did think that he had fallen into the trap of the defenders. However, he quickly reacted. The defenders were too far away from them to look like a trap at all. According to his own experience, Mu Geda judged that the effective range of the Ming army's guns should be within 20 zhang. Obviously, within twenty zhang, the existence of the Ming army was not found. In other words, it is highly likely that the Ming army fired outside the range of firearms.

Speaking of which, this is also a major feature of the Ming army. Every time the Tartars and the Ming army fought, they were never afraid, for no other reason, that is, because the Ming army always fired indiscriminately outside the range. If the Ming army could hold out until the Tartars entered within 20 zhang and then fired a salvo, the casualties of the Tartars would definitely be very heavy. After all, the power of the firearm salvo is still quite impressive, and the leather armor of the Tartar cannot stop the shot of the projectile at all. It's a pity that the Ming army never had the guts to do this.

At the same time, Mu Cuta also felt that the gunfire of the defenders was a little faint. Judging from the sound of gunfire, the number of Ming troops should not be very large. At most, about 200 people. In the face of the two hundred Ming troops, Mu Geda really never let go of it. According to his experience, as long as twenty or thirty Dajin strong brigades, he could deal with two hundred Ming troops. The number of Daikin troops under his command now is more than twenty or thirty people.

"Wood Cutta!"

"Don't hesitate! Let's go! ”

"There aren't many Han dogs, we can break through their defenses at once!"

At this time, another Tartar leader, Dan Ren Ding, shouted to Mu Geda.

After fleeing Liaodong, they lost their original subordinates and livestock, and became wandering "Jianqing". For this, the two are actually very jealous. They always thought that they could accumulate enough strength in other places, and then go back to Shenyang to rescue the original master, Amin. At the same time, he restored his identity as Niu Lu Zhangjing.

As for the battle with the Han Chinese, neither of them ever paid attention to it. The reason is very simple, the combat effectiveness of the Han people is too weak. In the entire Ming army, the only one who had the courage to fight with the Tartars was Guan Ning Tiecai. However, after Yuan Chonghuan's death, the combat effectiveness of Guan Ning's iron cavalry was not as good as before. The Ming army in the mainland is even more vulnerable to attack.

In the second year of Chongzhen, the Tartars entered the plug. Mu Ge Tan and Dan Ren Ding, led the army from Da'ankou (now the north of Zunhua County, Hebei) into the interior of the Ming Dynasty, except for the resistance of the Ming Dynasty commander Zhao Shujiao in Zunhua City, in other places, it was completely like no one's land. The Ming army was invincible and did not dare to engage the Jin army at all. After the two of them came to the boundary of Shandong, they found that the Ming army in Shandong was even weaker than that of Beizhili. Every time I went ashore to loot, I never encountered decent resistance.

Therefore, the two felt that the Fushan City in front of them must be the same.

These Ming troops, at most, will scatter and flee in all directions.

What they have to do is actually to catch ducks.

As for whether to kill these ducks, it depends on their mood.

Mu Geda nodded and shouted loudly, "Kill!" Fight to the front! ”

Tartars swarmed up.

Mu Geda thought about it, and then shouted to Dan Rending: "You bring a few white armor and see if the Han dog has a cannon!" If so, grab their cannons! ”

Dan Ren Ding agreed.

For the firearms of the Ming army, the only thing that the Tartars were more afraid of was artillery. Ordinary firecrackers don't pay much attention to it. Ordinary firecrackers can only be lethal within 20 zhang, but the Ming army often released their guns in ping-pong when they were 30 or 40 zhang or even 50 or 60 zhang away. Such a shooting hit rate is similar to shooting at the moon in the sky. As for someone falling in the dark, it must have been an accident.

"There aren't many Han dogs!"

"Kill it!"

Mugeta rushed to the front and shouted at his men.

Dan Rendin's judgment made Mu Geda firmly believe that this was not an ambush by the Ming army, but a chance encounter with the Ming army. The opponent should be the Ming army stationed in Maojiatun, which is not numerous, the firepower is not strong, and there is no courage to fight at close range. Otherwise, they wouldn't have shot at such a distance.

"What we met was a small army of Han dogs!"

"Kill them and scatter them!"

Mugeta roared viciously again.

As long as it wasn't for the defenders' ambush, Mukkata wouldn't have paid attention to it at all.

In the encounter, who was the Daikin Force afraid of?

Even if they encounter Guan Ning Tieqi, they will not flinch in the slightest.

Sure enough, under the roar of Mu Geda, the Tartars quickly gathered their formation and continued to advance towards the depths of Maojiatun. The sporadic gunfire, in the opinion of the Tartars, was a complete salute to welcome their arrival.

At the same time, the five sampans also sailed towards the pork belly boat and continued to transfer the tartars.

Hearing the gunshots coming from the shore, the Tartars on the pork belly boat were already a little impatient. They huddled to the edge of the deck, waiting to come ashore and join the battle. Even, some of the Tartars simply jumped into the water and swam towards the shore. Their water surname is obviously not very good, and they swim very slowly. It can only be said that the courage is commendable, but the method is wrong.

Well, it must be admitted that the Tartars, once in combat mode, are indeed quite brave. If it is a Ming army, when encountering such an unclear environment, most of them will choose to retreat. But the Tartars, on the other hand, will choose to move on. If most of the Ming army was a group of sheep, then most of the Tartars were a group of hungry wolves.

"Bang bang bang!"

The gunfire of the Tiger Ben Gun continued.

In the midst of the gunfire, intermittently some tartars fell.

However, no matter how you listen to it, the gunfire is a bit monotonous, and it feels like it is a little underpowered. Because, at this time, it was only the soldiers of the Third Association who shot. The firepower of one hundred and fifty Tiger Ben Guns is indeed a bit weak. Shooting in the dark, the hit rate is really low. Coupled with the distance, the Tartar obviously couldn't feel the power of the Tiger Ben.

The Tartar, who was not afraid of death, quickly rushed up.

The distance between the two sides was soon shortened to less than forty zhang.

"Cover each other!"

"Keep retreating!"

Zhang Zhun said calmly.

The fighters of the convoy, while firing cover, continued to retreat.

The sound of gunfire became even more sparse.

For a long time, there were not a single casualty among the Tartars.

"Hangou has retreated!"

Mu Ge replied triumphantly.

Just like the Ming army they encountered before, every time they met with the Dajin army, they couldn't support it for a while, and they would retreat. It's too easy to get rid of these Han dogs.

Other tartars feel the same way.

The Ming army just didn't fight.

They could only rely on the tall city walls and artillery to block the attack of the Dajin army. If there were no strong walls, they would have to keep retreating, retreating, and retreating. For example, in the third year of Tiancong (the second year of Chongzhen), the siege of Yanjing by the Dajin powerhouse was like this. Even in front of their own capital, the Ming army seriously lacked the courage to fight in the field.

Of all the Ming troops, only Yuan Chonghuan's Guanning Iron Cavalry was the only field force that the Tartars feared. However, Yuan Chonghuan had already been killed by his emperor himself, and the combat effectiveness of the Guanning Iron Cavalry was not as strong as before. The governor of Liaodong who succeeded later, the governor of Jiliao, were all cowardly and incompetent, and it was good to be able to hold the line of Jinzhou and Shanhaiguan, and it was impossible to try to forge ahead.

To put it bluntly, the current Ming army can only nest in the tall city walls and barely confront the Dajin Force. When starting from Tianheng Island, Mu Keta's assumption was that there might be some casualties when attacking Fushan Castle. As for being in the wild...... Field battle, when were the Han Chinese the opponents of the Daikin powerhouse?

"Kill!"

"Whatever you grab is what you get!"

"Whoever grabs it belongs to him! Money, women, whoever grabs it will go to whom! ”

Mugeta roared loudly.

The other tartars also screamed in a mess, like madness.

Among them, some of the cries were understood by Zhang Zhun and others, especially the voices of those Han Anniversary. However, more shouts were incomprehensible to Zhang Zhun and them. However, judging by the actions of the Tartars, they are indeed in a high degree of fanaticism. At this time, the Tartars are often the strongest in combat.

A large part of the combat effectiveness of wild boar skin is based on the primitive ** of burning, killing and looting. However, the incompetence of the Ming army led to their repeated attempts to burn, kill and loot, and their combat effectiveness will become stronger and stronger. If someone can effectively stop their looting, the Tartars will collapse on their own. It's a pity, it's a pity, it's a pity.

The crazy Tartar didn't want to go up, not afraid of the shot of Mini's bullets. Because the snipers are now on Yang Guohua's ship, among the remaining soldiers, there are actually not a few sharpshooters and the like. Many soldiers have obtained the real Tiger Ben Gun in less than five days, and it is not much to be able to skillfully reload and shoot repeatedly. As for shooting accuracy, Zhang Zhun hasn't had time to train yet!

As a result, the casualties of the Tartars were minimal. This led the Tartars to believe that they had routed the defenders. Now that the defenders have collapsed, what awaits them must be a road to indomitable. As long as Fushan City is taken, all the people and property in this area will belong to them.

"Quack!"

The Tartars shouted triumphantly.

At this time, the second batch of Tartars also reached the shore.

This batch of Tartars moved very quickly, and even jumped down when the sampan was not completely on the shore. In fact, the speed of Tartar's actions is so fast, it has nothing to do with Zhang Zhun and others. It's just the second batch of Tartars, who found that the Ming army had been routed, and couldn't wait to go ashore to join the looting operation. If it's too late, maybe they won't have their share.

When the second batch of Tartars came ashore, the number of Tartars increased to 400 people.

With the addition of a new force, the Tartar attack became more courageous.

Later, the Tartars who joined the battlefield showed that the previous Tartars were even more active, and they actually came from behind, wanting to surpass their companions. Because all the Tartars know that if they run slowly, the good things will be robbed by others.

"Adult ......"

Wu Qingliang squatted beside Zhang Zhun and asked in a low voice.

"Wait a little longer."

Zhang Zhun said calmly.

In Wu Qingliang's hand, he held a very long fuse.

At the end of the fuse were super-large mines, each of which had a charge of more than 50 catties. There are three such fuses in total, which are in the hands of Li Jiaxi, Peng Bo, and Wu Qingliang. Because the mine technology in this era was immature, the fuse could only be used for detonation, so Zhang Zhun only laid three mines. Whether it can play the greatest role depends on whether the Tartars cooperate.

The gunfire on the battlefield, sometimes dense, sometimes sparse, sounded a little strange, as if the defenders had indeed been routed. Zhang Zhun commanded the soldiers of the Third Association, and while firing indiscriminately, they retreated in an orderly manner, successfully creating the illusion of defeat and retreat for the Tartars.

Stimulated by looting, the Tartars are advancing quite fast. They swarmed almost at a trot, as if they had been beaten with chicken blood. Soon, they arrived at the first intersection of Maojiatun.

This is where the first mine was laid. The first mine was planted in a large dung heap at the crossroads. Because of the foul smell coming from the dung heap, all the Tartars were reluctant to take a second look, and naturally they couldn't discover the secrets hidden under the dung heap.

The Tartars did not find the mines buried under their feet and moved on. Soon, they walked around a well. Inside the well, there is a second mine. Again, the Tartars did not find this mine. There must be nothing of value in the well, and not a single Tartar bothered to look inside.

Soon, the Tartar came to the side of the third mine. The third mine was buried underneath a pile of rubble, and the fuse was stealthily pulled out from underneath the rubble. The fuse was also camouflaged, surrounded by layers of leaves. Unless the leaves are lifted, there is no fuse visible in the darkness.

In fact, the swarming Tartars, whose heads are full of Tartars who burn and loot, and the Tartars who are arrogant and arrogant, obviously do not realize that death is under their feet.

"Ignition!"

Zhang Zhun said in a deep voice.

The Tartar has fully entered the killing range of the third mine. There were at least thirty or forty people in that dense crowd. There were many more coming up in the back. This bombing will reimburse at least fifty Tartars, and they are the most elite, fierce, and powerful Tartars. The gun shoots the first bird, the thief captures the king first, and killing this part of the Tartars is definitely a fatal blow to the morale of the other Tartars.

"Shoot for cover!"

Zhang Zhun shouted decisively.

The Tartars are not stupid, they have also seen mines and other weapons, and if they notice the fuse under the hay, they may immediately take action. The reaction of the Tartars was much faster than that of the Ming army in the interior. Objectively speaking, they are battle-hardened warriors, and their reaction speed is absolutely first-class.

All the fighters of the Third Association immediately began to shoot fiercely, trying to attract the attention of the Tartars as much as possible with heavy fire.

"Bang bang bang!"

Sure enough, the attention of the Tartars was immediately attracted by the sound of gunfire.

Mu Geda was slightly surprised, thinking that the Ming army had come to reinforce the troops, but later found out that it was not. The number of the Ming army was still about 200 people. It's just that just now it was their firecrackers that fired a salvo, so the gunfire sounded denser. What effect can a salvo be made at such a distance? Mu Geda had a deeper contempt for the combat effectiveness of the Ming army.

In fact, this round of salvo fire by the Ming army did not cause too many casualties to the Tartars. Of course, there are definitely sporadic injuries. It's just that Mu Keda doesn't take it to heart at all. He judged that the Ming army was bluffing and preparing for a full-scale rout.

"Kill!"

"Rush forward!"

"All rush!"

Mu Geda roared without hesitation.

All the Tartars shouted and charged towards the convoy.

In Mu Geda's view, this impact will definitely completely disperse the Ming army.

Yes, if the Ming army had not been reinforced, they would all be dead.

"Your Excellency!"

"Your Excellency!"

Yang Zhiyuan and Hao Linyong shouted in unison.

The soldiers led by each of them were already by Zhang Zhun's side, ready for battle.

Everyone's fingers were pressed on the trigger. As long as he pulled it slightly, the Mini bullet in the chamber of the gun would fly out with a whistling whistle and shoot at the Tartar fifty feet away.

"Wait!"

Zhang Zhun said in a deep voice.

At this time, the Tartar was about fifty zhang away from the escort, and it was completely within the range of the Tiger Ben. However, Zhang Zhun did not give the order to shoot. He's going to have to wait. Wait until the Tartar is within forty zhang range. For, at a distance of forty feet from them, the road was noticeably narrowed, and the Tartar assault team would surely become more dense. When the time comes, a row of guns will pass, and all the Tartars in front will fall.

Regarding Zhang Zhun's arrangement, Mu Geda didn't know at all.

In his opinion, the defenders must have broken down, and it was impossible to organize resistance.

What awaits him is surely victory!

"Shoot!"

Zhang Zhun shouted coldly.

The Tartar passed exactly forty zhang of position.

Their team is really much denser than just now.

"Bang bang bang!"

The sound of gunshots like popping beans shook the entire Maojiatun.

The sound of gunfire shattered the eardrums, and the whole earth seemed to shake at once.

Fools know that the gunfire of a salvo of five hundred Tiger Guns is completely different from the sound of a salvo of one hundred and fifty Tiger Guns! The former is more shocking, more explosive, and more desperate!

"Oops!"

"It's over!"

"Hangou really has an ambush!"

When Mu Geda heard the sound of the gunshots, he couldn't help but feel excited, and his first reaction was:

Worst!

It's over!

They were indeed ambushed by the Ming army!

"Puff puff!"

Countless dull voices rang out in an instant.

This is the sound of Mini's catapult into **.

Countless blood splattered.

Tartars in front, row by row fell.

No matter how brave they were, no matter how fierce they were, no matter how precise the leather armor on their bodies was, no matter how fast they struck, under such a dense rain of bullets, they could only fall. In the first volley of the convoy, the Tartars were killed at least thirty or forty people, and even more wounded.

(To be continued)
