Volume 1 Beacon Creeps Chapter 496 River and Blood (I)

Putting down the clairvoyant mirror, Kong Youde looked at Pingchuan in the north of Jinzhou City, and saw that the sentry horse was galloping, the flag was fluttering, and the dense shining blades were shining brightly in the newborn sun. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The iron cavalry of the Qing Dynasty is constantly converging, and when the horn sounds, one by one the military formations converge into a vast number of men and horses. The fluttering flags are like the silent ocean before the storm, and a rich evil aura echoes in the wilderness of the sky.

Look at the flag like the sea, the swords and guns like the forest, the power of the Qing Dynasty is so.

Once upon a time, Kong Youde has been worrying about whether it is worth betraying the Ming Dynasty and being a thief and traitor in this country, and now it seems that his choice is wise.

Looking at the huge artillery camp next to him, when he was complacent, Kong Youde pointed to the chaotic Ming army on the other side of the river, and smiled at the people around him: "Ming Dog is really no one, such a rabble, there is no need to go out with the Eight Banners, my Wuzhenha Chaoying Artillery Battalion can wipe them out on both sides of the river with a bombardment, but unfortunately, the emperor strictly ordered not to move!" ”

At this time, the banners of the Eight Banners of the Han Army were really Geng Zhongming, Shang Kexi, Ma Guangyuan, Shi Tingzhu, Liu Zhiyuan, Zu Zerun, Wu Shoujin and others all gathered together.

Geng Zhongming, Shang Kexi and Kong Youde were all considered Mao Wenlong's adopted sons in the past, with unruly personalities, although there were fights between the three, but after the Qing Dynasty was surrendered together, he was named the king of Sanshun.

The two laughed when they heard this: "Gongshun Wang's words are praised, the soldiers of the Ming State are bears and generals, and they are indeed victorious, and I am a Qing Dynasty iron horseman, which is to break 10,000 with 1,000." It is often the case. ”

At this time, Shen Zhixiang, the chief officer of the Yellow Banner of the Han Army. also laughed and said: "It is precisely because of the corruption of the Ming Kingdom that the civil and military officials only love money, so I wait for the good birds to choose trees to perch on, and abandon the darkness to the light." ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the audience looked strange.

This Shen Zhixiang was originally the son of Shen Shikui of Mao Wenlong's department, after Shen Shikui died in battle, Shen Zhixiang called himself the chief soldier, and Ming sent troops to ask for it, and Shen Zhixiang sent Wu Chaozuo and Jin Guangyu to Shengjing to ask for surrender.

In the end, Shen Zhixiang led nine deputy generals, eight staff generals, eighteen guerrillas, 31 commanders, 30 garrisons, 40 thousands, and more than 2,500 soldiers and civilians to surrender. He was named the chief military officer by Huang Taiji, and he was also rewarded with python clothes, cool hats, exquisite sashes and many other items.

Although his father Shen Shikui is a philistine. is also reused because his daughter is Mao Wenlong's concubine, but he finally died fighting for the country, this Shen Zhixiang is useless, he is not good at writing, and he is very greedy for money and good goods, because of his father's shadow, he has a series of treatments.

It is strange to hear from his mouth that he only loves money.

The Han army is a white flag solid mountain and a real stone pillar, and it has long been blind to Kong Youde, these "newcomers", especially Kong Youde's mastery of the Wuzhenha super artillery battalion. Even more jealous very much.

Hearing this, he glanced at Shen Zhixiang disdainfully, and sneered at Kong Youde: "Gongshun Wang, the emperor handed over the artillery battalion to you, which is a heavy weapon for you, although the Ming army on the other side is unbearable, but the Ming general Wang Dou, Yang Guozhu is extraordinary, the emperor's grace is vast, you should be conscientious, how can you be so scornful and sloppy?" ”

Liu Zhiyuan, Zu Zerun, and Wu Shoujin are three. Immediately, openly or implicitly agreed, Kong Youde's face sank.

However, he was quite deep in the city, and he did not turn his face immediately, and Geng Zhongming and Shang Kexi were both brutal and domineering people, and Geng Zhongming could hide his temperament a little. Shang Kexi was about to ridicule each other.

Kong Youde suddenly glanced at the Han Army's Blue Banner Gushan Zhenzu Zerun, and shifted the target and topic: "Brother Zu." Ling Zun is in Jinzhou City, besieging the city for so long, the emperor has not ordered your troops to attack Jinzhou, but the big war is about to start, and I am afraid that it will inevitably be a battle against each other, and flesh and blood will kill each other. ”

After speaking, he laughed, Shang Kexi, Shen Shikui and others were also in schadenfreude, and his son beat his father, which was interesting.

Shi Tingzhu and the others were stunned, indeed, this is not a good thing, especially Zu Zerun's faction, it is even more embarrassing to talk about it.

Zu Zerun's face was ugly, but in the past, he was deeply cultivated by the family, and he was not a gentleman, and his mind reacted very quickly, he stroked his beard, and said coldly: "Each is his master, there is no father and son on the battlefield, if the emperor has an order, we are slaves, and we will obey." ”

In the past days of the Han military flag, these Ming generals fought openly and secretly, and the Korean national right council Kim Zidian has been standing by the side silently, with a gentle smile on his face, beside him, there are several Korean generals standing, or wearing big-brimmed hats, wearing robes, or wearing armor, the armor leaves are large and dense, like the medals of the Korean generals in later generations.

They stood aside, and also watched the show with interest, only the Han army with yellow flags and solid mountains and real horses Guangyuan, seeing that the situation was not good, laughed and came out to play a round.

He is considered a neutral, and he can talk to Kong Youde, Shi Tingzhu and others, and in the Han Army Banner, he really needs to exist as a character, and sure enough, after he rounded the field, the stiff atmosphere in the field eased slightly.

Shi Tingzhu actually didn't want to get into trouble with Kong Youde, with the Qing Kingdom's emphasis on firearms, Kong Youde's status in Huang Taiji's heart became heavier, and he was deeply thoughtful, Shi Tingzhu was actually a little afraid of Kong Youde, and after Ma Guangyuan's round, he took the opportunity to end the game.

He only frowned and looked at Pingchuan in the north, and said: "The Ming army has passed through the river, why is it that there is no news of movement on the master's side?" ”

Not to mention that he was puzzled, Kong Youde and the others were also anxious, the Wuzhenha super artillery battalion had been prepared, the Ming army was constantly crossing the river, and the great fighters were in front of them, and it was impossible for everyone not to be anxious.

It's just that in this kind of war, the issuance of battle orders is not their turn, although they are all regarded as the solid mountains of the Han military banner, but they are still the subjects of the Eight Banners Manchurian Baylor, and the battle orders need to be given by them.

Not only is it the Han military flag, but in fact, the eight banners of Mongolia are all members of the Eight Banners of Manchuria.

After the separation of the Eight Banners of Mongolia and Han and the Eight Banners of Manchuria, the subordination of Gushan Ezhen and Mel Zhangjing to the original Eight Banners of Manchuria and Baylor remained unchanged and did not change slightly.

The most obvious fact is that the eight banners of Mongolia and Han only set up solid mountains and foreheads, and there was no other flag owner on them.

At this time, Kong Youde commanded the Wuzhenha super artillery battalion. In fact, it also belongs to the Eight Banners of Manchuria. It's just that because of the particularity of the manufacture, training, and supply of weapons, it was under the general jurisdiction of Tong Yang in the past, and at this time it was under the general jurisdiction of Kong Youde.

Although Huang Taiji has always wanted to put the Wuzhenha Super Artillery Battalion under his direct leadership, he has always been resisted by the collective resistance of the Manchurian banner owners and has not succeeded.

Of course, in this kind of big war, Huang Taiji directly issued an order to the Wuzhenha Super Artillery Battalion under the banner of concentrating military strength and unified command. The Manchurian banner lords were also not easy to resist.

Shi Tingzhu rubbed his palms, looked at the Ming army on the other side of Xiaoling River, and said with a cruel smile: "Damn, Lao Tzu can't wait." I want to go on a killing spree! ”

The Han army Qigushan beside him all laughed wildly and agreed, talking about how to kill the Ming army, without the slightest intention of slaughtering the compatriots of the past.

Only Jin Zidian smiled, contemptuous in his heart, and secretly thought: "A group of dolphin tail slaves, the minions have taken refuge in the new master, but they are more ferocious than the old days, especially these vulgar martial artists." The scourge of the martial arts can be seen. ”

Looking at these vicious traitors, he was even more determined to return to China. The idea of suppressing the warriors. No matter how scourge the literati are, the damage to the country is limited, and the disaster of the warriors is often the destruction of lives and thousands of miles of bloodshed.

At this moment, Kong Youde suddenly raised the clairvoyant mirror and looked at Rufeng Mountain. It seems, over there on the mountain. There was some commotion, the banners were shaking, and he wondered in his heart, could it be that the Ming army attacked Rufeng Mountain?

And at this time. Shi Tingzhu and the others also noticed the situation in Rufeng Mountain and pointed at that side.

Then. Then I heard the sound of a hurried trumpet, and the faint sound of a gong.

What happened?

Everyone was puzzled, and they heard a commotion from the Manchu and Mongolian Qing army positions in the north of Jinzhou City, and everyone even saw the Bobo Sentinel, which seemed to be conveying orders back and forth in that direction.

These sentry horses are all bright helmets and bright armor, with carved feathers inserted in the helmet, and there are flying tigers and fox tail flags behind them, and they are all the soldiers and horses of the Ge Bush Xianchao Ha battalion and the imperial forest army of the Qing Emperor.

With the back and forth of these Ge Bush sentry horses, I saw that the Manchurian and Mongolian cavalry positions in the north of Jinzhou City were in chaos, and the rapid sound of conch was one after another, and then their rear army turned to the front army, and one army formation after another army was opened.

In the smoke and dust, I saw them rolling to the west of the city, and then crossed the Xiaoling River and rushed to the south of the city.

Looking at the south of the city, in the direction of the south bank of the Xiaoling River, the Qing army camp besieging the city on that side, the same horn sounded, the smoke and dust rushed to the sky, and a large force of cavalry rushed to the side of the daughter river.

All the Han army banners are really dumbfounded, what's going on?

Everyone's hearts were going up and down, and some Manchurian Bayala was already rushing to them, giving them orders, and quickly going to the north bank of the Daughter River.

In the end, he even saw Kabush Xianzhang Jinglaosa, leading some cavalry from the Gebush Xianchao Battalion to run, but he did not go to Tucheng, but only shouted outside the first trench: "Gongshun Wang, Jin Yizheng, the emperor has an order, the Han Army's Eight Banners, the Korean Army, and the Wuzhenha Chao Artillery Battalion, immediately move to the daughter river!" ”

He quickly conveyed a series of orders from Huang Taiji, the Han Army's Wuzhen Ha Chao Artillery Battalion, except for the twenty gates of the Shenwei General left behind, which were guarded by the Han Army's Red Flag Gushan Ezhen Liu Zhiyuan, the rest of the troops were all moved to assist the defenders over there, and those who dared to violate it were killed!

When Gegushan asked the reason in a panic, Lausa said angrily: "I have waited for the plan, the main force of the Ming army has already gone to the daughter river, especially the artillery battalion of the Jingbian army will soon arrive at the river. The military situation is urgent, and the Wuzhenha Super Artillery Battalion needs to be rescued immediately and fight against the Jingbian Army Artillery Battalion! ”

A series of orders were conveyed, so that Kong Youde and others stood on the spot, Han Junqi worked hard here, everything was arranged, and he would give up if he said he would give up?

In particular, Kong Youde was annoyed, and he finally dragged many artillery pieces from Rufeng Mountain, Shimen Mountain and other places to the outside of Jinzhou City, and now he has to go around in a big circle, from the east of Jinzhou City to the west of the city, and then cross the Xiaoling River, and then pull it to the daughter river?

You know, these are thousands of pounds of heavy artillery, how can you say that they can be pulled? And a lot of artillery is still built on a high platform, is it easy to go up and down?

And he was suddenly terrified in his heart, was he really going to fight the Jingbian Army Artillery Battalion? Although he swears on weekdays that he doesn't take the Jingbian Army and others in his eyes, he really wants to be right, why is his heart oozing panic?

But the emperor's order, who dare to disobey it? Even if you are up and down in your heart, you have to bite the bullet.

His gaze swept over Zu Zerun, Geng Zhongming, Jin Zidian and others. All of them were pale. With a panicked expression, only Shi Tingzhu pretended to be calm. However, his trembling hands revealed the true thoughts in his heart.

Kong Youde's heart was crossed, and he thought: "There is no way back, only to fight with Wang Dou!" ”

……

The main force of the Ming army unexpectedly moved westward, greatly disrupting the deployment of the Qing army.

However, they are also elite after all, under the strict orders of Huang Taiji, after a short-term chaos, many Jinzhou cities are full of Mongolian cavalry, and they rush to help. The big strands opened and ran in the direction of the daughter river.

There is also the Wuzhenha super artillery battalion of the Han Army Banner, and the soldiers are also urgently deployed.

It's just that they artillery. It is not easy to transport it to the daughter river in the first place.

From the east of Jinzhou City, although you can directly cross the Xiaoling River and reach the south bank of the Xiaoling River. It's just that it is located at the confluence of the Xiaoling River and the Daughter River, the water is turbulent, and the ferry can cross it, but it is difficult to build a pontoon bridge.

The Wuzhenha Super Artillery Battalion can only go around a large circle, and the speed of progress is inevitably slow.

The chaos of the Qing army outside the city. Zu Dashou and others in Jinzhou City can see clearly when they stand on the thousand-year-old Liao Tower.

Zu Dashou was old in military affairs, he quickly understood the strategy of the Ming army, and couldn't help but praise: "Encircle Wei to save Zhao, attack it will be saved, this is slightly smarter!" ”

The main forces of the Qing army were attracted to the city of Jinzhou, and during this blank period, it was conducive to the attack of the Ming army.

The terrain on that side is also conducive to the deployment of the artillery troops of the Wang Division. Carriage of baggage.

Merely......

Looking at the Manmeng iron stream outside the city, it continued to run from the north of Jinzhou and the west of the city to the bank of the Xiaoling River, and then quickly crossed the river from the pontoon bridges. As far as the eye can see, countless iron horses are like huge waves that overwhelm the mountains and seas. He was concerned in his heart, and he didn't know if the Ming army could quickly conquer the Daughter River. Relieve the siege of Jinzhou from the south.

……

The cannonballs screamed, and in the artillery array, many artillery pieces raised large puffs of white smoke, and there were fierce fires in between, followed by a muffled thunderous cannon sound. The fiery iron balls spun and smashed towards the pontoon, as well as the Qingqi on both sides of the daughter's face.

Rumble!

In the middle of a pontoon bridge, it was directly hit by a heavy cannonball, and the wooden planks laid on it shattered, and a huge hole collapsed in an instant.

The moment the planks collapsed and shattered, the heavy iron balls also brought up countless sharp wood thorn fragments that flew fiercely.

Poof!

Poof!

Poof!

A wave was nearby, and the Manchurian blue-flaged knights who were crossing the pontoon bridge were all emitting clouds of blood mist from their bodies, and the people and horses were neighing, and each of them howled and rolled down.

A few blue-flaged riders in the rear, with wide terrified eyes, desperately pulled the frightened and crazy horses, but they still screamed and rushed into the cold river.

A strong man with a blue flag, his horse stuck in the mouth with his head down, this strong man was covered in blood, and his right eye happened to be hit by a sharp thorn, and the pain was so intense that his whole body spasmed. He struggled to put his hands on either side of the mouth, trying not to fall into the river.

He kept his left eye open, hoping that someone would pull him along.

Not far from him, there were several blue-flaged tartars that had rolled on the pontoon, in pain. There was also a war horse with a sharp piece of wood pierced into its lower abdomen, which rolled on the plank with a scream, and finally fell into the river, smashing a Qing soldier below who shouted for help into the river.

Those Qing soldiers who fell into the water tried their best to flutter in the water, they were basically landlubbers, and they had a natural fear of rivers and seawaters. They gurgled and drank from the red, muddy water as they struggled and yelled at the pontoon, hoping that someone would save them.

However, the artillery of the Jingbian Army kept whistling over, but they did not take care of them. In the loud bang, there were constantly pontoon bridges hit by shells somewhere, these pontoon bridges were basically paved with wooden planks, and after the cannonballs hit, they suffered great damage.

After each shell, the Qing soldiers who crossed the bridge there were crowded. There were also some cannonballs that fell in the river, stirring up a large column of water and splashing on some of the Qing riders who crossed the river nearby, making them happy and palpitating at the same time.

……

Looking at the two banks of the Daughter River at this time, there are still many pontoon bridges, the sound of hooves is like thunder, and many Eight Banner cavalry are rolling and galloping. Every time after the artillery battalion of the Jingbian Army bombardment, the Qing cavalry that came like a tide was stagnant.

The desolate trumpet sounded continuously, and on the north bank of the Polar Eye Daughter River, on the horizon, black tides appeared one after another. Then these tides amplified and converged into a large number of Eight Banner cavalry with different armor and flag colors, which continued to rush towards this direction.

Zhao Xuan put down the clairvoyant mirror and thought, "Tartar reinforcements, come so fast!" ”

Zhao Xuan's artillery battalion, due to the fact that all horses and mules were mules, and a horse from the Loess Ridge came to Pingchuan.

The heaviest artillery in the battalion, connected to the gun carriage, two horses can also be pulled with ease. Moreover, including the artillery battalion baggage department, every sergeant had horses, so the artillery battalion marched very fast, and even caught up with the cavalry speed of all towns except the Jingbian army.

Therefore, not long after the westward march of the Ming cavalry arrived at the daughter river, Zhao Xuan's artillery battalion also arrived.

They quickly set up artillery positions to intercept the Qing cavalry who crossed the river.

At this time, on the daughter river, the Qing army erected a number of pontoon bridges on both banks.

But the most important and widest is only a pontoon bridge in front of the Twin Mountains and Rufeng Mountain. There is also a pontoon bridge a few miles northwest of the Twin Mountains, so Zhao Xuan's artillery positions are mainly arranged on some hills not far from these two places.

Zhao Xuan personally led 100 of the 160 artillery pieces of the artillery battalion, including 40 Hongyi cannons, including 20 six-pounder cannons, 20 three-pounder cannons, and many large and small Franc machine guns.

The remaining artillery, commanded by the battalion lieutenant, was arranged in another artillery position.

Zhao Xuan's artillery array is located in the northwest of the Twin Mountains, which is less than a mile away from the river, and several hills are raised.

The artillery roared, and many gunners in the artillery battalion were sweating like rain, constantly shelling the Qing cavalry on the other side of the river. The key object is the Qing cavalry who are bombarded from the oblique side, and the Qing cavalry is constantly rushing from the left and right pontoon bridges.

Old White Cow: The last chapter was Xiaoling River, not Daughter River, I made a mistake.
