Chapter 986 Zhang Shourong Meets the Enemy (Part [-])
Facts have proved that Zhang Wanbang is really a crow's mouth. His words can almost be said to be a prophecy. Although what he has to face is not 1 cavalry, it is worse than [-] cavalry-it is [-] cavalry.The only good news is that he didn't bump into the main force of the entire fried flower department.

Although the Chaohua Department sent more troops than the Chahar Department, due to the difference in status between the two sides, the 1 cavalry still became the forwards. The distance from Tan Ma was relatively wide, and the group of Tan Ma was only half an hour away from the main force of the Huahua Department.

Therefore, when Zhang Wanbang rushed from Dongchangbao to Sanchahe wharf, and then took a boat from the south bank of the Liaohe River to the north bank, the more than 30 inspectors from the flower frying department happened to join up with the main force of the flower frying department.

The information Chaohuataiji got at this time made him feel a little troublesome, because the detectives told him that there were a lot of ships docked near the Sancha River wharf on the opposite bank, and it seemed that at least half of them were "Jinghua ships" with guns.

Jinghua is rampant in the entire Liaohe River Basin, and even dares to go deep into the Xiliao River controlled by his Chaohua Department. The team has nothing to do.

However, he only knew that Jinghua's fleet was invincible across the Liaohe River, but he was not very clear about the exact number of Jinghua's ships on the Liaohe River, and he was even more confused about how many ships were equipped with weapons and equipment.

However, what Tan Ma told him at this moment was that there were at least twenty ships on the other side that seemed to have guns.

This is obviously very bad news, which means that he may have a lot of trouble if he wants to cross the river down the river-he could not collect a few boats in the first place, because the Mongols themselves rarely abandon their horses and boats, and almost [-]% of the boats on the Liaohe River It belongs to the Han people, and he didn't get to collect it at all on the north bank.

The main reason why the plundering of southern Liaoning in the sixth year of Wanli went smoothly was that it was already winter when the troops were dispatched, and the Liaohe River had already frozen over at that time, and it was very thick. He and Tumen led the horses away that time. In the past (Note: Liaohe has a freezing period of about four months every year, and it is longer in the north of the middle reaches.)
But this time the troops were dispatched early, and it was not long after the Mid-Autumn Festival, and it was obviously not yet the ice age.

Fuck his grandma, how could he forget this, what the hell!Chao Hua cursed inwardly.

In fact, he didn't really forget it, but he just didn't expect that after two or three years, there would be more Jinghua crossing the river in the Liaohe River, because if he came here before, even if the Liaohe River was not frozen, it would be enough to build a batch of rafts temporarily. You can cross the river, but you have to cross slowly in batches.And they were all cavalry, and they came very fast. Even if they wasted a little time building a raft, the main force of the Ming army on the other side could not rush to intercept him so quickly.

Seeing such a big mistake, Chaohua was in a bad mood, turned around a few times with a sullen face, stomped his feet and said, "No, Ben Taiji wants to go and see for himself how strong the Han Chinese fleet is."

What Chaohua was thinking at the moment was that if Jinghua's fleet really couldn't be provoked at first glance, then take advantage of the speed of the cavalry to cross the river in another place. Plan to cross the river from the Xiliao River occupied by their own.

Then first attack the Pingshantai Fort in the west, then go south to conquer Xining Fort, and then... well, then we still have to cross the Liao River, but at that time there will be more river sections to choose from. He feels that the Han people on the other side It is impossible for the fleet to fortify everywhere in the Liaohe River for hundreds of miles. As long as I rely on my speed advantage, I can always find places where I can cross the river.

Anyway, Li Chengliang won't come to help, so why waste a little time?
Knowing that Jinghua’s fleet has artillery, the camp of frying flowers did not go directly to the river, but camped more than 30 miles north of the Sanchakou section of the Liaohe River (Note: In fact, due to the fork of the Liaohe River, The Liaohe River here in this book is called the Daliaohe River in modern times. If you have friends who read books very seriously and read books against a map, don’t get confused, or you may get confused.), since it’s just to check the enemy’s situation, stir up flowers He didn't take all the army, but only brought more than a thousand horses.

In fact, for Zhang Wanbang at this moment, there is not much difference between more than one thousand and twelve thousand. Anyway, he only has 50 people. No matter how they compare, there is a huge disparity in strength, and there is no need to fight.

Zhang Wanbang led his people to search the shore for a while, and the group of horses from the Huahua Department could not be found, but thanks to the rain today, he found the horseshoe prints left by the horses from the Huahua Department in the mud.

Without further ado, Zhang Wanbang chased northward relying on this clue, but after walking for a stick of incense, he realized that something was wrong in the situation ahead.

Although it is impossible to predict cavalry approaching from the smoke and dust in rainy days, ground listening is still feasible. Although it is not convenient to listen to the ground lying in muddy water, the same effect can be achieved by leaning on a big tree, and this Skills are not miraculous for Xuanda soldiers who often march and fight in the mountains of Shanxi, and almost all of these servants know how to do it.

A servant was ordered to scrape off the bark of a big tree on the side of the road to make a big piece of his face. After listening to the flat tree trunk for only a few breaths, his face suddenly became ugly, and immediately stuck it tighter. After listening carefully, he immediately jumped up and hurriedly said to Zhang Wanbang: "Master! Those Liaodong soldiers can't afford to be rotten mountains (note: Shanxi dialect, describing people who are worthless and can't do big things), do their best to leave Son (nonsense), there are at least a thousand cavalry ahead of us coming towards us!"

Zhang Wanbang was surprised when he heard that: "Thousands? Hou Si'er, don't you hear it when it's raining?"

Hou Si'er said anxiously: "Young Master, I, Hou Si'er, have been working for ten years and have not been accepted. Is it the kind of ghost (a person with many faults)? It's really more than 1000 riders. If it is less than [-], you will take the little one." I took his head and made it into a chamber pot!"

"Damn it, something big happened!" Zhang Wanbang became anxious all of a sudden. He wasn't afraid of the more than a thousand horses in front of him. After all, he now knew that he had a way out. question.

With more than a thousand riders, it is of course not a problem to hit a few piers, but it is basically impossible to capture his Dongchang Fort.Moreover, the Huahua Department is not one of the most powerful masters in Mongolia. Sending more than 1000 cavalry to the south of the Liaohe River is of no use.

Therefore, in Zhang Wanbang's view, these thousand riders should be the forwards of the Huahua Department.In addition, according to Gao Bingxian's introduction, judging from the situation in the past few years, although the Huahua Department is not honest, it is not very courageous. The raids on the border of the Ming Dynasty are basically in collaboration with Chahar, Dong Hu, and Suba. Hai and others come together.

Now that Dong Huhu and Su Bahai have both become souls under the knife, the Chaohua Department should have been more honest and honest, but if he really came, there is only one possibility, that is, Chaohua is still alive. There is an accomplice, and this accomplice is currently only qualified by Tumen.

After all, Zhang Wanbang is just a defense of Dongchang Fort. Even if Dongchang Fort is an important fort, the guards in his hands are only 400, including more than [-] people on twelve piers. Other than that, there are only three hundred family members brought by myself.

The opponent has more than 2000 riders even with a striker, and the total number is likely to exceed [-]. Can his small [-] men hold Dongchang Fort?

"Retreat!" Zhang Wanbang didn't care so much at first, and shouted to withdraw as soon as he gave the order, and then a group of fifty riders turned around and retreated in the direction of the Jinghua gunboat temporarily docked by the river bank.

While beating his horse and galloping wildly, he said to Hou Si'er, who claimed to have been refusing to accept him for ten years: "When you cross the river and get off the boat, take a few brothers to inform the Niujiazhuang Ma Yi, and hurry up and send the horse to the post." People and horses are all evacuated into Dongchang Fort, and the food and fodder in the horse post must also be evacuated!"

Hou Si'er responded, and after running for a while, he suddenly remembered something, and asked Zhang Wanbang, "Master, no, we have boats, but the Tartars don't have boats, how do they cross the river?"

Zhang Wanbang said angrily: "Nonsense, I know, so it's up to you to say it? I'm afraid that they will make a fuss and attract some people to attract my attention, and then the main force will cross the river from other places and come around to carry the horse post. Then the mother will have fun." It's going to blow up!"

Hou Si'er shrank his neck when he heard it, and didn't dare to talk anymore.

Not long after, more than fifty riders ran back to the shore like the wind. The people in Jinghua turned back not long after they saw that they had just left. They thought it was raining too hard, and Zhang Shourong was too lazy to chase. : "This thieves' rain is getting bigger and bigger. How about Shou Rong, the general on board the ship now, let's have a light meal and see if we want to continue to investigate?"

Zhang Wanbang yelled: "Don't even mention eating, the Huahua Department is going south in a big way, and I guess there are still people from Chahar, let's retreat to the river and wait for a while, and then make plans after seeing the truth!"

The boss of the boat was also surprised when he heard it. He was "deceived" by Zhang Wanbang's calm expression just now, and thought it was not a big problem. Who knew that Zhang Wanbang was just used to big scenes. Just panicked.

The boss of the boat hurriedly asked the boatmen to set up boards, and rushed to meet Zhang Wanbang and the others to board the boat. When all fifty riders boarded the boat, the cavalry from the Chaohua Department who followed behind had appeared in their field of vision. Sure enough, Hou Si'er did not Misjudgment, the cavalry must have more than a thousand people.

Not only that, judging from the flags carried by the cavalry, it seems that Chaohua himself is also in the formation, and when both sides appeared in the opponent's field of vision, the cavalry immediately rushed forward, not knowing that they were going to seize the ship What are you going to do.

The boss of this ship also accompanied Jinghua's wharf guards to suppress bandits several times. He knew that his greatest advantage was being able to stay safely in the river and rely on the advantage of the artillery range to fight against the people on the shore, so when he saw this situation , and immediately ordered the sails to be opened, and the oarsmen to move immediately, first to drive the boat into the middle of the river, to avoid the opponent's cavalry from shooting rockets-although Jinghua's boat has certain fire prevention measures, and it is raining again today, but similar The danger should be avoided as much as possible to avoid accidents.
