lied to Kangxi

Chapter 475

In the attack on the mountain, Celeng's men and the Mongolian cavalry tricked by Yuzhu were useless.

We can only rely on the new army and the firearms battalion!
It's just that the artillery of the Huoqi Battalion is mainly a cheating mother-child artillery.

This kind of artillery can bomb people, horses, and camps on the plain without any problem.

However, it is difficult to attack the mountain.

Because the quasi-army also has artillery.According to Celen, the Zhunjun Army has quite a few artillery pieces, at least thirty or so.

In the Dagukou Shipyard, there are actually 12-pound army heavy guns and 24-pound naval guns.

However, in order to deceive Kangxi, Yuzhu did not dare to equip the new army.

The small-caliber sub-cannon is very mobile, but its power is not enough.

The Hutusi Mountain Pass is winding and winding. Throwing a big rock on it and rolling it down can knock down a large number of people.

In addition, the Zhunjun also has a considerable number of artillery. To be honest, this is indeed a tough nut to crack.

However, Yuzhu also has a magic weapon.

Coming to the edge of the desert here, Yuzhu found a large black oil pool that was always on fire.

The local herdsmen thought it was a magic fire and dared not approach it at all.

But in Yu Zhu's heart, he knew very well that it was not magic fire, but oil that came out of the ground by chance.

Once these oils are ignited, it is difficult to extinguish them.

The magic fire in the eyes of the aborigines, Yu Zhu recognized the oil.

This is a matter of knowledge.

Don't blame the ancients for being ignorant, just blame Yuzhu for being a monster.

A small oil field caught fire, and Yuzhu couldn't put it out.

But why bother?
Near the burning black oil pool, it is enough for people to dig the ground.

Yuzhu didn't have much geological knowledge either, so the purpose of doing this was to rely on the large number of people, sowing a lot and harvesting little.

In the absence of modern drilling tools and machinery, isn't it a matter of luck to dig out oil?
In fact, Yuzhu didn't need much, and a few hundred jars would be enough.

There is no car to drive, so Yuzhu asked people to dig some oil, just to set fire to the mountain.

The quasi-army was condescending, and with the help of artillery, the four thousand new troops in Yu Zhu's hands forcibly attacked. God knows how much it will cost?
If you put the oil in a porcelain bottle, seal it with wax, treat it like a hand grenade, throw it into a wooden quasi-military camp, and let the warriors throw a few torches into it, you'll be fine.

Hey, that kind of fire is actually inextinguishable.

Well, as for the environmental loss caused by the burning of the mountains and forests, hehe, compared with the loss of the direct line of the new army, General Yu can't care so much.

The day before the official attack on the mountain, Yuzhu ordered to fry all the rice and pancakes with a lot of salt, all of which were distributed to the soldiers.

Since it is going to set fire to the mountain, after the army enters the mountain, it is definitely not realistic to start a fire to cook.

Fried rice is hard to eat, but it's better than starving.

Besides, as long as you get to the south of the Tianshan Mountains, hey, on the prairie of Yimapingchuan, the Junggar people have piles of cattle and sheep, are you afraid of starvation?
Even the small tribes of the Junggar people all fled, hehe, the accompanying five thousand Mongolian robber cavalry also brought a lot of cattle, sheep, and horses.

Everyone save a little, so much meat is actually enough to last for a while.

On the day of the decisive battle, Yu Zhu sent Celen to him ahead of time.

"Brother, I don't need you to attack the mountain. Your only task is to closely monitor the barbarian cavalry who came with me." Yuzhu took the main force to attack the mountain. If the Mongols suddenly turned against the water, the fun would be It's making a big fuss.

"General, don't worry. Although I only have 2000 people, all of them are warriors who are not afraid of death." Celen is also a veteran. Can't stand the big waves.

There are 4000 troops on the mountain pass, and they are condescending, with muskets and artillery to help out.

Even if it is to set fire to the village, the soldiers must be the first to attack bravely before they can throw the oil tank, right?
When the two armies were at war, they were full of energy, then declined, and then exhausted.

Yuzhu thought about the task of attacking the fortress first, and finally decided to hand it over to Niu Tai.

"Niu Tai, after you lead people up, you must not pester them. The main thing is to throw oil cans into the enemy's camp, and then throw torches, and then withdraw." Yu Zhu was very worried. I know how to advance, but I don't know how to retreat.

"Master, don't worry, I'm still waiting to go back to Beijing to marry Hanshuang." As soon as Niu Tai said this, Yuzhu really felt relieved.

"Send my order, the firearms battalion is ready to fire."

"Hey." After receiving the military order, the herald quickly steered his horse and galloped towards the firearms battalion.

Today's firearms battalion is not the main force of the attack, but an offensive force that attracts the attention of the quasi-army.

Nearly [-] sub-cannons were mounted on the hill and began to bombard the Zhunjun camp.

"Boom boom boom..." The rumbling sound of the artillery sounds very lively, but there are only a handful of artillery shells that actually hit the quasi-military camp.

Du Gar, the chief general of the quasi-army, was a little nervous at first, worried that the Qing army would rush forward.

However, the Qing army only used artillery to bombard them, but did not dare to send troops to attack.

"Haha, the Qing Tartars are all cowards, hahaha..." Dugar did have reason to laugh wildly.

Because the terrain is too dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Based on Dugar's rich combat experience, based on the Qing army's battle flags at the foot of the mountain, the total strength of the Qing army's attacking troops was at most ten thousand.

Dugar held more than 500 elite quasi-army soldiers in his hands, and guarded the mountain pass condescendingly. He really didn't take it seriously when there were tens of thousands of people coming to attack.

Two hours passed, and the Qing army was always on the back of the firearms battalion, and never sent infantry to attack the mountain pass.

After a long time, Dugar became more or less slack.

Because, this kind of inaccurate, completely luck-based confrontation is actually very boring.

More than 200 artillery pieces from the Qing army fired in turn, and dozens of artillery pieces from the Zhun army also fired back.

Both sides had losses, and the Qing army suffered relatively greater losses due to the unfavorable terrain.

At this time, Niu Tai at the foot of the mountain swallowed the last handful of fried rice in his mouth.

"Boys, follow me to the top." Niu Tai is a simple and honest man, he is not good at sensational agitation at all.

However, Yuzhu's haha ​​beads are at the forefront, so what else can the soldiers say?
The tactics arranged by Yuzhu are actually not complicated, and they rush up against the mountain wall.

If a stone is thrown from the mountain and rolled down, try to stick to the mountain wall as much as possible.

As for who was thrown off the cliff by the stone, that was the price that had to be borne in the war.

To put it bluntly, throwing stones on the mountain is indeed powerful.

However, the main reason is that it is easy to cause a panic of fear of death psychologically. Everyone is afraid, and they turn around and run back together.

As a result, not many were really crushed to death, but most of them trampled on each other in fright, or rolled down the cliff in panic.

The new army trained by Yuzhu has been arrested for so many years, and the most important thing is strict military discipline.

When the trumpet sounds, only advance is allowed, not retreat.

More than 300 Yuzhu's personal barracks, led by Niu Tai, launched an attack.

Junggar found out that something was wrong and immediately reported it to Dugar.

Dugar smiled coldly, and said, "Don't panic, don't be in a hurry, bring the Qing Tartars closer, and then throw stones down hard to smash them into it."

Also, throwing stones too far apart looks scary, but it can't actually hurt a few Qing troops.

Niu Tai is a son of a Lian family. He took the lead and stuck to the bottom of the mountain wall, holding a rifle in his right hand, hunched over his waist, and led his subordinates to file up.

In the battle of attacking the mountain, everyone rushed up together in a mess. Not only is it useless, but it will cause huge and unnecessary losses.

Dugar was very calm, and when the Qing army had climbed halfway up the mountain, he gave the order: "Throw stones."

A large rock as tall as a person was pushed down by the paramilitary soldiers.

"Boom..." With the help of the mountain, the boulder rolled faster and faster, and smashed viciously at Niu Tai and the others.

Niu Tai realized something was wrong, so he hurriedly shouted: "Stick to the cliff, stick to the cliff, you are doomed to the stone above your head."

After rolling over 100 meters, the boulder has accumulated enough potential energy.

"Boom..." The boulder flew over Niu Tai's head and slammed into the team behind him.

"Ah..." Two new army soldiers were run over by a big stone and died tragically on the spot.

The power of the boulder did not diminish at all, and it rolled over all the way, smashing two new soldiers off the cliff.

At this critical time, Niu Tai had no time to be sad, so he ordered in a deep voice: "Follow me."

Traveling against the current, retreating if not advancing.

According to Dugar's inherent concept, after throwing such a huge boulder down, the Qing army should have been frightened and retreated in a hurry.

However, unexpectedly, the Qing army only paused for a moment, and rushed up again.

Dugar was furious, and shouted sharply: "Throw more stones down, and kill these Qing tartars."

Dense stones poured down along the narrow mountain path, and several soldiers from the new army were unable to dodge and were smashed off the cliff.

The jade pillars at the foot of the mountain make it difficult to see the details of the mountain path.

If he knew, God knows how distressed he would be if he had lost more than a dozen quasi-military officers before the official battle started.

There is no way, we meet on a narrow road, whoever has strict military discipline and who is less afraid of death will have a chance to win.

Attacking mountains is really physical work.

However, Niu Tai is a freak. Apart from a little sweat on his forehead, he still has plenty of physical strength.

Dugar couldn't help being surprised when he saw that throwing dozens of stones did not stop the advance of the Qing army.

However, Dugar still had a magic weapon, and he didn't panic at all.

"Tuobuqi, you lead 200 people, kill them, and be sure to chop off the head of the leader of the Qing dynasty."

Yes, in the battle of defending the mountain, in addition to artillery bombardment and throwing stones, sending elite soldiers to rush down from above is also one of the indispensable weapons.

Based on Dugar's experience, fighting from top to bottom often only needs to sacrifice a small amount of troops to successfully defeat the enemy who is attacking upwards.

Tobuqi waved the saber in his hand and shouted loudly: "Kill it."

For a moment, two hundred Junggar people rushed down like a mountain torrent.

(PS: The third update added for the leader has been fulfilled. It’s still the same sentence, help me get to the third monthly ticket category, and the fifth update is a must!)
