Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 1003 Liaohe Ambush (Part [-])
Hanjiawan, this place is a bend in the shape of a few characters, which is very similar to the bend of the Yellow River, but it is infinitely smaller. The part in the middle of the shape is where Tumen planned to cross the river.

The terrain of this place is that Tumen and others are on the side of the alluvial plain, and the terrain is flat. In theory, it is very suitable for reclamation into fields, but because the north bank is occupied by the Huahua Department, there are no fields, and it is actually a weeds wasteland.

The south bank is a hilly area—it is precisely because of the hills that the river turns out a few bays.But the so-called hills are really just hills with little ups and downs, and the trees on the hills are not tall, so it is definitely not steep, otherwise it would not be chosen as the landing place for the cavalry.

However, there is also the advantage of not having much ups and downs, that is, behind a row of small hills is very suitable for hiding troops. As long as the opponent does not send people to land for in-depth investigation, it is impossible to find an ambush.

Ma Dong, the right officer guarding Haigai, is currently in the sparse woods on the top of the hill, holding Jinghua's special binoculars to check the situation.

At this time, the fog was still very heavy, and even with a telescope, he couldn't see through it. After a while, he suddenly froze, and his whole body tensed up.

A few big leather rafts appeared in the monocular, and they were paddling towards this side vigorously. There were not only people on the big leather raft, but also war horses with "nervous expressions" that could be seen at a glance, and many of them were restless. Some snorted and even scratched their hoofs, while the Mongolian athletes beside them tried their best to appease them.

The Ma family is now an expert in cavalry. Ma Dong knows very well that these Mongolian war horses are not afraid of water. They actually like water, but there is a paradox here, that is, although war horses are not afraid of water, they don’t like it The sound of the rapids of the big rivers and the tide of the sea can make the horse feel irritable.

Ma Dong didn't know that it was because the horse's ear structure couldn't filter certain noises in this sound, but he knew that this situation would affect the horse's performance for a period of time to come.

[Note: This is not fiction, because the human ear can very effectively reduce the stimulation of this kind of noise to the brain, so humans rarely have an aversion to listening to "the sound of gurgling water".Many biologists believe that the various organs and functions of the human body are almost all "hydrophilic" structures, so people often feel very comfortable at the seaside, but many "proto-terrestrial animals" will show very uncomfortable at the seaside .Therefore, there are even some opinions in the field of biology that human beings are "returning creatures", that is, they lived in shallow seas or amphibious in ancient times, or they were the product of the combination of shallow sea creatures and terrestrial animals, but this view is inconsistent with the most mainstream " "African Origin Theory" is contradictory, so it was suppressed. Friends who like to read miscellaneous books may understand.Also, there is no charge for this section. ]
This is of course good news, but Ma Dong is still a little nervous, because from the lens of the monocular, he can only see the leather rafts of the Mongolians, and he does not see the Jinghua gunboat that had been agreed long ago.

Of course, according to the scheduled plan, Jinghua's fleet should suddenly rush in from the lower reaches of Jizi Bay with the northwest wind after the first batch of Mongols have landed, and hit the Mongols "halfway".It's just... this battle is not only the largest battle that Ma Dong has personally commanded on the front line since joining the army, but also a battle that requires the most stringent coordination. He really can't help being nervous.

This is also a manifestation of his failure to adapt to high-practice planning operations. For example, generals like Zhang Wanbang who have fought under the command of high-practice know very well that high-practice is a boss who attaches great importance to the concept of time. They are all linked together, and there can be no loopholes in any link.

This requires the subordinates to control the time well enough, otherwise the situation on the entire battlefield may be chaotic, and although it may not be defeated, it is very likely that they will not be able to complete the pre-war plan, resulting in the result of the battle. Greatly reduced.

Ma Dong was regarded by his father Ma Fang as mediocre and not aggressive enough, but that didn't mean he had no merits. His merit was that he honestly completed the tasks assigned by his superiors, was not active enough, and at some point would not be aggressive.

In fact, Gao Wushi thinks that Ma Fang's dissatisfaction with Ma Dong is mainly due to the fact that Ma Fang always regards his son as the successor of his cavalry career. As a typical general who takes the initiative to attack, Ma Fang subconsciously feels that he dare not If you take the initiative to attack, you will not get the initiative on the battlefield, and then you will definitely be suppressed and beaten, and you will only lose the battle.

But Gao Pragmatic is a person who insists on using according to his aptitude. He thinks that Ma Dong is available, needless to say in other aspects, at least one point is very clear: Ma Dong is very resolute in executing orders, and he can even be said to be rigid.

Rigid may not be a good word, but in the army it certainly isn't a bad word - aren't the Prussians notoriously rigid?
Whether it is justice or not, let go of it first. If there is no Prussian rigidity, will there be the German Second Reich and Third Reich, the initiator of the two world wars, and the German Second Reich that beat countless military fans?I'm afraid it will be difficult.

Therefore, Gao Yushi felt that rigidity was not a bad thing, and it was especially rare in the army, so he insisted on letting Ma Dong travel more than a hundred miles to command the battle.

Ma Dong can feel the importance that Gao Yushi attaches to him, and as a depressed "Queen of the Famous General", he can only repay this heavy trust with military exploits, so he can't help being nervous.

"Join the army, the Tartars are starting to land!" Ma Chengen's words came from Ma Dong's side.

Ma Chengen is actually a little nervous, but unlike Ma Dong's nervousness, his nervousness stems from the fact that he finally has a chance to become famous in a battle - if he wins this battle, he can prove that he is no better than the deputy commander-in-chief. My cousin Ma Chengxun is poor!
It's also Fight to Fame, you can do it, so can I!

There will also be competition between brothers, especially Ma Chengen's father, Ma Fu, is no longer around. At this time, he hopes that he can take over his father's career...and fame!

Ma Dong took a deep breath, and said solemnly: "Don't worry, according to the arrangement of the military constitution, it's not the time yet... The military constitution said that there must be at least seven or eight thousand people crossing the river."

Ma Chengen couldn't help but took a deep breath, nodded heavily, his right hand was clenched tightly, and the hand with his left hand holding the Yanling Saber around his waist was even more bulging.

There are seven or eight thousand people who cross the river. What does it mean?
It means that in Gao Bingxian's heart, these seven to eight thousand people will be wiped out in one go!

Not to mention the fact that the Ming Dynasty is far away, but only to say that in the past few decades, there will be no second ministers and generals who dare to wipe out nearly [-] Mongol Tartars at once!
This is the Mongolian Tartars, who come and go like the wind!
Daming has been fighting the Mongols for 200 years, but what is the characteristic of the Tartars?It may not be surprising to defeat him by tens of thousands, but who would dare to do such an extravagant hope?
Li Chengliang has been powerful in Liaodong for more than ten years, but if the Monan War is not counted, the heads of the Tartars he sent back and forth were only six or seven thousand (the number of heads of the Mongolian army he sent in history was nearly nine thousand, There may be water in it), and Gao Bingxian intends to win Li Chengliang in one battle for ten years in Liao Dynasty!
How many Tartars have been defeated is no longer considered a great achievement. For example, Ji Shuai Qi Jiguang defeated and defeated tens of thousands of Tartars at every turn. How many rewards did he get?

What Daming saw was beheading!
Ma Chengen's heart was surging, and he felt that the blood in his whole body was starting to boil, and the killing intent was almost unstoppable.

And Ma Dong was still holding the binoculars, staring at the situation on the other side of the hill, and after a while, when Ma Chengen was about to urge him, he suddenly said: "The number of people is not enough... the boat! "

He suddenly pointed at the river, handed the binoculars to Ma Chengen, and said, "Look at it too, to make sure I'm not mistaken!"

Ma Chengen quickly took the telescope and put it in front of his right eye - he is very good at archery and is very confident in the vision of his right eye.

Sure enough, Jinghua's gunboats had already appeared in the lower reaches of the Liaohe River. At this moment, the sky began to brighten. Ma Chengen believed that he could never be wrong. There would never be another company to own the big boats in the river except Jinghua.

This ambush has finally come to a full-scale launch and a decisive battle!
"Chen Rong saw it very accurately. It must be the arrival of the Jinghua Fleet. Let's..."

Before Ma Chengen finished speaking, Ma Dong stood up abruptly, pulled out his waist knife with a "swipe", and shouted: "Brothers! The Mongol Tartars have already been caught by the military constitution, and now I am halfway to attack! What are you waiting for? Make meritorious deeds, confine your wife and son, just look at the present! Kill me!"

"kill!"

"kill!"

"kill!"

Like adding fuel to a raging fire, the aura of the Ming army was completely ignited at this moment!
