Chapter 602: Blocking the Eight Banners
The Guanning Iron Cavalry had just fallen under the siege of the Tianwei Army, and the elite of Duoduo's Eight Banners had already driven to the city of the Daimyo's Mansion.
Tan Tai asked: "Lord Wang, the last general is willing to be the vanguard and launch an attack on the Daimyo's Mansion first!" ”
Duoduo shook his head and smiled, "No hurry! Tan Tai, let's wait a minute, attack now, maybe scare Xu Yifan's kid away, wait until He Luohui in the west and Aobai in the east are in place, and then launch an attack, when the time comes, Wu Sangui should almost take Puyang or Zhangde Mansion. Besieged from all sides, we can wipe out the Tianwei Army! ”
Before Tan Tai could speak, a faint sound of thunder came from a distance......
Boom Boom Boom ......
Thunder? Now that the New Year has just passed, how can there be thunder in the Central Plains? Isn't it a little early?
Everyone was stunned for a while, and suddenly, Duoduo's face changed, and he shouted: "Tan Tai, this, this is not thunder, this, this is the sound of cannons, the sound of red-clothed cannons!" ”
The sound of the cannon?
Tan Tai was stunned and said, "Lord Wang, won't you?" Now we have not started a war with the Tianwei Army, Puyang and Zhangde Mansion are a hundred miles away, even if there is a big battle, the sound of artillery cannons can't penetrate here, even if the red-clothed cannon is powerful, it can only be transmitted for about thirty miles......"
"Bagza, map!" ”
Melzhangjing Bagza beside him hurriedly handed over the map, and the sound of cannons came faintly, not very clear, which means that the location of the cannons is thirty miles away in the south, thirty miles in the south, it is one of the few dirt mountains in the territory of the Daimyo's Mansion, the Daimyo's Mansion is located in the plain, it is difficult to see the peaks, and the only few are naturally very conspicuous.
Fangshan area? Dongchang Mansion, Zhangde Mansion?
Duoduo's gaze suddenly froze, Dongchang, Fangshan, and Zhangde are in a straight line, if Wu Sangui wants to rush to Zhangde Mansion, this Fangshan is the only way to go, calculate the time, Wu Sangui can now reach this position!
It was Wu Sangui's Guanning Iron Cavalry who was fighting! Is it a blockade or an ambush?
Duoduo's heart trembled, this Xu Yifan was resourceful, since he could predict Wu Sangui's actions, with the strong strength of the Tianwei Army, he was afraid that he would definitely ambush Wu Sangui and annihilate Wu Sangui in Fangshan in one fell swoop!
"Tan Tai, immediately lead the main force with the white flag to bypass the Daimyo's Mansion, go straight to Fangshan, and go all out to help!"
Duoduo shouted.
Tan Tai's heart was shocked, galloping to help Fang Shan? What happened to Fang Shan?
"Why are you so stupid? Now Wu Sangui is in Fangshan, now the cannon is so dense, it is definitely the Tianwei army besieging Wu Sangui's Jiaoning Iron Cavalry in Fangshan, quickly, go all out to help, go to the Guanning Iron Cavalry too late, but it will suffer a big loss! ”
Although the Guanning Iron Cavalry is slightly inferior to the elite of the Eight Banners, but in the Ming Dynasty, it is also a first-class force, the Eight Banners have limited troops, and the Central Plains will be unified in the future, and the Guanning Iron Cavalry will be the elite main force in the Han army, and there are too many places that need to borrow Wu Sangui, and at this stage of the Qing Dynasty, they will definitely not be able to afford the price of the annihilation of the Guanning Iron Cavalry!
"Yes, Lord Wang!"
Tan Tai shouted: "Order, the white flag department will follow me to Fangshan, quickly, march at full speed!" ”
More than 10,000 troops with white flags, under the leadership of Tan Tai, went straight to Fangshan!
It's just that before he left the vicinity of the Daimyo's Mansion, a group of men and horses blocked Tan Tai's way, and it was the Tianwei Army led by Xiao Ting, five thousand elites, occupying an earthen platform and beginning to launch an attack on Tan Tai!
Xu Yifan and the others took all the red-clothed cannons to Fangshan, but they left the general's cannons, Franc machine guns, and even earthen cannons configured by the Tianwei Army and the Daimyo Mansion to Xiao Ting, and these cannons added up to a lot more than the number of red-coated cannons, and one by one the artillery began to be condescending, launching a fierce attack on the cavalry!
One after another, the cannonballs with a huge whistling sound fell successively in the queue of elite soldiers inlaid with white flags, smashing the elite of the Eight Banners in a mess and dodging one after another!
Tan Tai was in a hurry, blocking the attack, the Tianwei Army actually ambushed the troops here to block the Eight Banners, so it seems that Wu Sangui is really dangerous, Xu Yifan is planning to swallow the Guanning Iron Cavalry in one breath and put Wu Sangui to death......
"Order, the whole army is assaulting, we must take this dirt mountain in front of us in the shortest possible time, gallop to the aid of Fang Mountain, attack, attack!"
Tan Tai roared angrily and took the lead in launching a fierce attack on the Tianwei Army, and the two sides launched an extremely tragic offensive and defensive battle in front of the Tutaizi!
One by one, the Qing army launched a charge forward, and the elite of the Tianwei army returned fire with artillery and feather arrows, organizing the approach of the cavalry, and the cavalry of the Qing army was injured and retreated, and the cavalry behind continued to attack, not retreating at all, the elite of the Eight Banners of this era is far from being able to compare with the Eight Banners of the late Qing Dynasty, and even these elite shoes are not worthy, that is the elite division that can really cross the Quartet, not afraid of death, the combat power is strong, and even can stabilize the Mongolian cavalry, even if it meets with the Western cavalry, It's definitely not going to be a disadvantage.
The continuous shooting of the Tianwei army stopped the advance of the Qing army, and the Manchurian elite cavalry immediately returned the color, and at the same time shot the feather arrows continuously, and in just one hour, the two sides had already paid the price of thousands of people!
The Eight Banners of Manchuria are strong, the Tianwei army occupies the advantage of the terrain, the two do not give in to each other, Xiao Ting personally stood under the banner, commanding the battle, one day, this battle is not so easy to fight, the elite strength of Manchuria is almost three times as much as its own, and it is all cavalry, although this earthen platform is a large piece higher than the surrounding area, but after all, it is a soil platform, the terrain is flat, and the cavalry is not much of an obstacle, now there is artillery to help, but also able to withstand the cavalry charge, once the artillery shells are exhausted, Then the next big battle will be difficult, that is, hand-to-hand combat with bayonets, once it is close to the cavalry, it is only a matter of time before the Tianwei army led by himself is annihilated.
"Grandma's, even if Lao Tzu dies in battle to the last person, he will never take half a step back, the flag is in the people, the flag is down, the Manchurian Tartars, if you want to go over, then step on Lao Tzu's corpse and go over!"
Xiao Ting commanded the soldiers under his command to constantly resist, and nailed the Manchurian cavalry to the bottom of the dirt mountain, and let the Manchurian elite cavalry charge desperately, I will not move!
Two hours, two full hours, Tan Tai was not able to take Tushan!
The news had already reached Duoduo's ears, and Duoduo gritted his teeth angrily and roared angrily: "Bagza, Tan Tai, who led the artillery team to help, must wipe out this Tianwei army in one fell swoop in the shortest possible time, and Lao Tzu doesn't want a single mouth!" Attack with all your might! ”
