Lu Ming
Chapter 724 Relay
The yellow sun falls into the sea, and the waves and tides are born.Bohai Bay at dusk, in a lazy atmosphere, is about to fall into a deep sleep.
Leaning on a broken porch pillar, Jiang Hu, with an unshaven beard and a bunt, was also lying lazily, with a straw in his mouth.
Jiang Hu is a native of Tianjin. He was a ranger in his early years, and he also joined the caravan.After Lord Chongzhen came to power, things got worse and worse, and Jiang Hu did not stop doing business that violated the laws of the Ming Dynasty.
Then, suddenly one day, the fleet from the south filled the port, and the novelty goods from the south filled the warehouse.
Today, Tianjin Wei has already become the largest freight distribution center in North China.All the people in Hecheng, young and old, have become Cao Dashuai's employees either actively or passively.
This city was named Cao a few years ago.
Jiang Hu did not escape this rule either.Since it is easy to find work in the city, there is no need for him to go outside to live a hard life.After coming and going, relying on the advantages of the old local household, Jiang Hu hired security guards at Master Mei's Jinlilai Firm.In the past few years, the middle-aged Jiang Hu in the human world has lived a stable life.
Today he was sent out as a "lookout".
In other words, since the Tartars entered the customs again, Tianjin has been shocked three times a day.Today, all trade routes leading to the west and north have been stopped.
As time went on, the atmosphere became more and more tense.Every day, the latest battle report was uploaded from the official bulletin of the Port Authority: more than ten days after entering the customs, the Tartars had captured more than ten cities around the capital, captured more than [-] people, and countless goods.
Wearing shoes is the worst kind of trouble with bare feet.Nowadays, the number of the rich and the middle class in Tianjin is increasing exponentially. There are many goods and goods everywhere, and the wealth can rival the country. Isn’t it the city of fat sheep that the Tartars like to grab?
Although there is a Flying Tiger Battalion in charge, its meager number of people is not safe in front of the 10,000+ Tartar army.So the "elders" in the city teamed up to collect several million taels of silver in military pay from the very beginning, and went to Feihu Camp to petition, hoping to invite the general to go out again to destroy the bandits.
At worst, some people should be sent to defend the hometown.
Unexpectedly, Feihuying not only refunded the money, but also released news: the commander-in-chief is leading the main force to clear the rebel army of the Huskies in Haidong, and he will not be able to return in a short time.
This news frightened all the people in Hecheng.
Fortunately, within a few days, thousands of soldiers from Dongjiang Town came to Tianjin to assist in the defense.
Tianjin is between Dongjiang Town and Dengzhou.In the early years, Mao Wenlong and the Dengzhou officialdom had a mess, until the collapse of Dongjiang Town, Tianjin people next door knew it all.
Although they didn't like the beggar in Dongjiang Town, since the commander invited him to help him, the young and old held their noses and welcomed the former.
In this torment, there are always smart people who can guess something.Ming people just lack the insight of hundreds of years.In terms of brain capacity alone, there is no difference between a Mingren and a time traveler.
For example, the chairman of the Tianjin Chamber of Commerce, the proprietor of Goldlion Commercial Bank, a well-known local social sage, the father of Mei Fuxi, the commander of a certain battalion in Feihuying, and Mei Laoqianhu.
Mei Qianhu is the local person who has the deepest contact with the Cao family, so he usually participates in some military-civilian joint construction projects. During this war, Mei Qianhu was in charge of the formation of the front transport teams in various cities in Tianjin and the resettlement of the family members of the supporters. Condolences and other work.
It probably smelled something from the strength of the preparations for the pre-support transport team.Recently, Mei Qianhu began to secretly send people to the mouth of the Haihe River to "watch the wind".
Jiang Hu is the old security guard of the Mei family, and it is his turn to watch the wind at the mouth of the Haihe River these days.
The mouth of the Haihe River is still a little away from Tianjin City.As early as several years ago, the crossing forces launched a large-scale labor force at the mouth of the Haihe River, and built Tianjin Outer Port along the coast.
Jiang Hu stayed today at an abandoned pier south of the Outer Harbor. Now there are no pirates, and there are no guards.Both disappeared without notice.
Staying on the pier with Jiang Hu was a lookout sent by the other two bigwigs.
The three of them had been on the plinth for two days.Every day, I come to the pier early in the morning to watch the wind, and I go back to the Outer Harbor to sleep at night, which is very boring.But after tonight, Jiang Hu can go back to the city and change people.
When Jiang Hu was bored looking at the southern sea in a daze, Lao Wu, the nurse of Qian Xingshi's family, said in a muffled voice, "It's almost time, shall we go back?"
Jiang Hu became excited when he heard this.Although it's still early in the evening, it's already dusk after all, so it's okay to say that it's time to get off work.Who makes being on the pier so boring.
So Jiang Hu jumped up: "Let's go, go back to Hong Kong, kill the chicken, cut the noodles, and have a couple of quarrels."
The three people on the pier looked at each other, and they all started to pack the bits and pieces they brought, and then walked down the ladder one by one.
Just when Xiao Liao, the last and youngest nurse, was about to get off the ladder, he accidentally raised his head and glanced at him, but suddenly froze: "Tiger, Mr. Hu, why did I see smoke?"
Jiang Hu, who had already descended to the second floor of the pier, was stunned when he heard the words lying on the ladder, and finally climbed back again.
"Ah!" After climbing back, Jiang Hu was stunned with just one glance: as far as he could see, a faint black line appeared between the sea and the sky.
"Wait and see." Jiang Hu made up his mind: "Maybe it's a small cargo fleet."
Not long after, Jiang Hu slapped himself in the face.The thick black smoke pillars on the sea seemed to slow down and fast, changing from one to two, then from two to three, and more and more, until finally showing the whole picture: a giant fleet.
After a while, after clearing the leading battleships, Jiang Hu slapped his thigh vigorously: "Ha, there are big gunships, it should be as the master said, this is Cao Shuai's personal visit!"
The three lookouts climbed down the pier like flying, jumped on the horses brought by the side, and rushed towards Tianjin City like lightning.
These few are all from rich families, and Tianjin is the distribution center for horses in northern China, so they all have one person and two horses.Non-stop all the way, changing horses back and forth, and running for dozens of miles.
Mei Qianhu was overjoyed when he heard the news.After rewarding Jiang Hu with the silver, he ordered the people in the mansion to prepare the incense table and other things overnight in case of emergencies.
In the early morning of the next day, the sky lightened a little, and there was already a commotion inside and outside the old city, and the news spread among Ming people like lightning.A large number of people on horseback or even on foot left the city one after another, looking for targets along the banks of the Haihe River.
At ten o'clock in the morning, the raucous crowd returned.They accompanied the black-smoky fleet in the Haihe River, shouting and laughing like a wedding reception team, and the flow of people gathered into a sea of joy.
At noon, Wei Yuan, chief of staff of the Northern Expedition, was the first to step off the [-]-ton battleship Kaiyuan.With the attention of all people, Han Xiaobo, the governor of the North, stepped forward, and the two shook hands tightly.
Immediately afterwards, amidst the tide of cheers, soldiers of the Northern Expedition, carrying tactical backpacks and rifles, poured out of the cabin and began to disembark.
On Wei Yuan's side, under the guidance of the Chief Superintendent Han, he greeted the local "elders" who had prepared an incense table and put banners such as "Jiemin Upside Down" and "Zebei Cangsheng" behind them, and thanked the elders for their support. Preparations before the army branch.
This day was September 27th, just three days had passed since Li Jichun broke Yangguli.
Afterwards, after eating two mouthfuls of food, the Northern Expeditionary Army, from Commander Han Xiaobo down, to all military directors above the battalion, gathered in the lobby of the Feihu Camp to start an emergency strategic deployment.
The first item, of course, is to report the current situation.
An information warfare staff officer with mysterious symbols embroidered on an armband pointed to many points on the big map and told the current situation: The main force of the cavalry of the Flying Tiger Battalion is still facing off against the Eight Banners of the enemy Mongolia on the front line of Tangshan.
According to the previous instructions, in order to avoid irritating the enemy, the cavalry of the Feihu Battalion only maintained the actual control of the front line of Tangshan, and did not have too much contact with the Mongolian Eight Banners.
Secondly, since the early morning of this morning, a part of the Yuanchunleiying Cavalry and a part of the Dongjiang Town Cavalry have spread blockades in the north, west and south of Tianjin.Since the early morning of this morning, Tianjin is allowed to enter and not to leave.
This blocking action is expected to guarantee information concealment within 48 hours.
"It won't take that long."
Wei Yuan, the chief of staff who sat high above, said loudly at this time: "Our main force has been repairing in Dengzhou for a long time, and there is no problem of acclimatization. Disembark today, and we can set off tomorrow."
"Yes." Han Xiaobo nodded in agreement, and ordered: "Tell me about the situation of the two main forces of the Qing army."
"The main force of the Qing army on the western front in the Gyeonggi area has not observed any obvious signs of retreat. The farthest part of it has reached Handan and Guantao."
Han Xiaobo and Wei Yuan exchanged glances in secret: they have restrained a lot.
Inside the traveler, there are some secrets that can only be shared by their own people: In the original history, after entering the customs this time, Jin Bingfeng paved the farthest line of the Yellow River, and arrived in Baodi, Tianjin in the east, which is much bolder than this plane.
"The main force of the Qing army on the eastern front, according to the telegram two hours ago, did not continue to attack Chunlei Fort."
Hearing what the staff officer said, Han Xiaobo and Wei Yuan looked at each other and laughed.
After sending off all the white-armored soldiers on hand three days ago, Yang Guli, the forehead, was paralyzed under the Chunlei Fort like a dog whose spine was broken.
According to the judgment of the General Staff of the Northern Expedition Army, Azig, who received the news later, is unlikely to encourage Yangguli to fight again. He has been lingering in the heartland of Ming Dynasty for a month, and the harvest has reached the minimum expectation.
In this situation, considering Yang Guli's fate, Azig's fear of Cao's must have reached its peak.Therefore, within these two days, Azig has a high probability of ordering the withdrawal of troops.
After thinking for a moment, Wei Yuan said with certainty: "The time is just right. Even if Lord Baylor orders the withdrawal of troops now, the scattered troops, goods, and slow-moving captives will need time to gather together. There is no 20 days. Can't withdraw."
This time, Han Xiaobo, who already had a comprehensive consideration, did not give everyone too much time to discuss.Soon, after chatting with Wei Yuan in a low voice, Han Xiaobo got up and began to issue combat orders.
One: The heavy artillery unit must display a heroic, tenacious, and disciplined combat spirit, set off immediately, and strive to arrive at the theater as soon as possible.
Two: The supply troops set off immediately.
Three: The main infantry set off in turn in the morning, aiming at Tangshan.
Four: The main force of the rest of the cavalry, cover the infantry and advance slowly.After arriving at the first line of Tangshan, the whole army accelerated the assault and targeted the Santun camp.
These are the marching orders.As for the tactics, Wei Yuan, the chief of staff who stood up at the same time, laughed: "The gap between the strength of the enemy and us is too big, and we can push it flat."
--------------------------------
Following the order of the commander, the four 24-pound long-barreled naval heavy guns that had been stored in the Tianjin arsenal slowly left the warehouse under the guidance of many artillerymen.
Next, a team of up to [-] people divided labor and cooperated, and hung the artillery behind the team of [-] horses.
The front teams are all named after the cities in Tianjin.The proud-faced brawny man drank up Li Jiajing's Erguotou, then threw the bowl smartly, and then drove the horses along the main road, slowly pulling the heavy cannon out of town.
As the saying goes, soldiers and horses go first before moving food and grass.This time the Northern Expeditionary Army set off first, and it also had the style of the Huaihai Campaign: thousands of small carts left the city one after another in the afternoon, with various small triangular flags planted on them.
Early in the morning of the second day, when the sky was still dark, a large number of soldiers from the Northern Expedition quietly set foot on the road to the north.At the same time, the headquarters of the Northern Expedition set off with the army.
The strategy of the Northern Expedition Command is simple: Tianjin is two hundred miles away from Tangshan. The infantry set off on the 28th and marched normally. Thirty days ago, the main force could reach the front line of Tangshan.
At that time, no matter how they concealed it, it was impossible for large troops not to be discovered by the Mongolian cavalry.Therefore, all strategic feints are unnecessary from the [-]th day onwards.The rest is assault.
In the tense atmosphere before the war, time passed bit by bit. On the 28th, the whole army rushed to the road. On the 29th, the total number exceeded [-]. The main force of the infantry of the Northern Expedition Army, which was advancing in five routes, surpassed the slow-moving heavy artillery and transport troops, and rushed to the Beizhuang twenty miles south of Tangshan for repairs.
As the saying goes, there is no book without a coincidence.In the afternoon of this day, Han Xiaobo, who was riding on horseback, received a real-time surveillance report from the drone: The Qing soldiers in the Gyeonggi area showed signs of shrinking.
Another: The Chunlei battalion urgently received an emergency call, and the Yanguli troops began to retreat slowly. Please ask for instructions on whether to pursue or not.
"They're all infantry, what are you chasing? Tell Li Jichun to guard the fort, and he doesn't care about chasing people."
Speaking of this, Han Xiaobo flicked the telegram with the back of his hand: "Look, Lord Belle has finally made up his mind."
"The son-in-law was defeated on the 24th, so Baylor received the news on the 25th." Wei Yuan, who was on a horse beside him, took the telegram and read it, pondered for a while, and then said: "In other words, it took Baylor three days Time has finally decided on a strategic retreat."
"It can't be considered slow. After all, the son-in-law just didn't capture the castle, and the Mongols didn't find out the news of my main force going north." Han Xiaobo flicked his horsewhip and continued to analyze: "Master Belle is in Ji Town now, so it is impossible to know that we are leaving So. So the operation to clear the troops on the east and west fronts is an orderly evacuation after the communication is completed."
Wei Yuan rubbed his unshaven chin: "On the eastern front, the forehead is slowly retreating. It doesn't mean that they know we are coming, but they have no choice but to go back to the corridor mountain pass to set up a defensive line. Hmm. I think it can be temporarily adjusted and let the cavalry fight first. "
Han Xiaobo laughed, and then whipped the horse: "If the enemy does not move, I will not move. If the enemy wants to move, I will move first. Haha, I agree with this plan. Let the infantry march normally, and we will take the cavalry on the road."
Once the commander and the chief of staff have unified their opinions, the entire army must implement them.
That afternoon, the situation changed suddenly.The cavalry of the Flying Tiger Battalion, who had been guarding the Tangshan line of defense for a long time, suddenly launched a fierce attack on the Mongolian cavalry in front of them on the entire front.
The Mongolian cavalry who had just been attacked turned around and fled without saying a word.
These days, the Mongols have already figured out the strength gap between themselves and their opponents.If it weren't for the fact that Feihuying had no desire to attack, the Mongols would have already moved in.
When the Mongols escaped, they ran more than 100 miles with ease before dusk, and Yangguli, who had led his army back, knew the latest military situation.Immediately afterwards, Yang Guli ordered the whole army to speed up and rush back to the mountain pass in a hurry.
——————————————————————————————
At the same time Yang Guli knew about the military situation, the cavalry columns of the Northern Expedition led by the Northern Commander had already chased to the foot of Chunlei Fort.
Taking all the generals off their horses, and personally coming to the gentle slope of the Chunlei Fort wall, Han Xiaobo and the others were also in awe: Ever since they came out of the mountain, they have always crushed their opponents with their equipment, and rarely fought such a tragic offensive and defensive battle: "Li Jichun, your troops are brave and good at fighting, and you have a tenacious style. You have defeated the enemy under the critical pass. You should take the lead in this battle!"
Li Jichun, who was wearing a school official uniform, stood at attention immediately: "It all depends on the command of the commander-in-chief, and the soldiers obey their orders."
Han Xiaobo chuckled: "There is no need to be modest. In this way, the thousand cavalry before the Spring Thunder Battalion will return to the construction now. We will expand the Fourth Division of the Northern Expedition based on the Chunlei Battalion later, and you will continue to be the division commander."
Han Xiaobo's two words immediately made the Dongjiang soldiers behind him upset, and all squinted at Li Jichun, an old bastard: The Fourth Division of the Northern Expedition is the number of the regular army.Han Xiaobo's words mean that Li Jichun lost his membership as a guest general in the first battle and transferred to the direct line of the marshal.
Li Jichun immediately saluted: "The last general will obey the order of the governor of the capital!"
"As for other rewards." Han Xiaobo laughed dryly: "I'll talk about it later, you all understand."
"The last general dare not, the last general knows the severity."
Those present are all veteran rebels, who can understand Han Xiaobo's meaning: Marshal Cao can't reward his subordinates in the name of the emperor. Who is still sitting on the dragon chair? I still have to talk about it, after all, I have endured it for so long, and it is not bad for a few days.
Speaking of this, Han Xiaobo picked his face and began to arrange the next step: "That's it, let's go after the son-in-law, and you stay here."
Li Jichun was naturally aware of the movement of the army, and he also knew his responsibility.But at this time, he will definitely show a gesture of war: "The final general is willing to go with the commander-in-chief!"
"Li Jichun, I would advise you to weigh everything carefully!"
Han Xiaobo hadn't spoken yet, and Mao Chenglu, the nominal prince of Dongjiang Town, finally couldn't bear this wild boy: "The toad yawned, carefully burst his stomach!"
When Mao Chenglu sprayed it, all the heroes of the Dongjiang River were immediately filled with righteous indignation.As soon as the voice on this side fell, Kong Youde, who didn't know that he almost became the top five surrendered generals in history, also began to put eye drops on the governor very smoothly: "Li Jichun, you need to know that you are just a surrendered general. Don't forget your identity, I'm afraid you are looking for some Tartar general to catch up with the past?"
"Is it over? Is it over?"
Han Xiaobo didn't expect such a group of trolls to appear after a moment of daze.Angrily, he swung his whip and whipped it in the air: "Slander your colleagues and demote you? What grade are you? Ah? You have nothing to do, right? If you have nothing to do, go back to Tianjin."
As soon as Han Xiaobo finished his sentence, he saw that the governor was angry and the heroes of the Dongjiang River immediately yelled offended, and forgive him. They all mounted their horses and chased after the enemy.
"Don't worry about this group of people, their quality is too low. When the nation is established in the future, they will all return to the stove. When they come out, they will be younger brothers in front of you!"
Seeing that the governor even said such words, Li Jichun, who was already in a peaceful state of mind, was very moved and bowed again: "The last general thanked the governor for slowing down his cheeks."
"Hmm." Han Xiaobo, who was about to get on his horse, finally asked Li Jichun, "Do you know what you are asked to do here?"
Poor Li Jichun rebuilt the Chunlei Camp, nailed to Yongping all these years, how many times he has replayed today's scene, how could he not know what Han Xiaobo's question meant.
The next moment, Li Jichun replied without hesitation: "Guan Ning Army."
"Yes, it's the Guan Ning Army." Han Xiaobo got on his horse and said, "Leave out the cavalry, and fight if you see the Guan Ning Army. Keep an eye on me, don't let those bastards spoil my good deeds."
"The commander of the last commander!"
——————————————————————————————
Out of breath, Yangguli, the son-in-law, marched hurriedly for a day with less than 50 bannermen under him, covering a distance of more than [-] miles.Finally, when it was getting dark, the whole army ran into the mountain pass of the Yanshan Corridor.
At this time, Yang Guli felt a little more at ease: the east end of the Yanshan Corridor was a ravine less than 1 meters wide. More than [-] people guarded this ravine, and the few-numbered Flying Tiger Battalion could not enter.
However, looking at Qi Ding lying crooked on the ground, Yang Guli couldn't ask these people to build fortifications at the mountain pass overnight.
After discussing with the second great king Duoduo, the two hastily divided the work: Yangguli led the bannermen to guard the front, and Duoduo led the remaining elite Manchus and Mongolian cavalry to guard the rear.Then the whole army will get up tomorrow morning to repair the fortifications and seal the mountain pass.
In fact, for today's news, the forehead has long been mentally prepared.According to the time, his side collapsed five days ago, and the Chunlei Camp will naturally notify the rear.The Flying Tiger Camp rushed up to beat the dog in the water until today. In Yang Guli's view, it was considered slow to react.
As for the sudden launch of the Flying Tiger Battalion, the main force of the Cao family will appear behind the Flying Tiger Battalion. Although this assumption has often appeared in dreams these days, the forehead after waking up dare not think about it.
Fortunately, the nightmare is finally over.
Now as long as he guards the mountain pass for a few days, after the large troops in the Gyeonggi area withdraw from Xifeng Pass, the son-in-law will be able to return to his beloved Baishan Heishui.
In the following night, a few musketeers appeared outside the mountain pass to harass them, but they didn't make any big moves.
If so, the night passed peacefully.
--------------------------------
In the early morning, the son-in-law, who was tired all day, was shaken awake by someone: "Forehead son-in-law, Dong. Dongjiang town!"
"What?" A son-in-law who jumped up vigilantly stood on the hillside and looked out of the mountain pass.
Immediately, Yang Guli gasped.
On the flat ground outside the valley, a black horizontal line was approaching the mouth of the valley.A closer look reveals a thick cavalry formation.All the knights were walking slowly leading their horses. Both men and horses were wearing black armor, the same style as the Chunlei Camp piercing through the white armor, but it was matte black.
On the flag in the middle of the cavalry formation, there is a flag with the word "Cao" hanging on it.
To Yang Guli's shock, there was a vertical flag next to the Cao character recognition flag, with a line of big characters embroidered on it: So the general officer of Dongjiang Town, the left governor Mao.
"Mao Wenlong?"
Just when Yang Guli was wondering, the black line got closer, and he also saw the words on the other smaller flags: Kong, Mao, Shang, Geng, Li.
Kong Youde.
Mao Chenglu.
Still gratifying.
Geng Jingzhong.
Li Jiucheng.
Seeing the banners, Yang Guli, who had dealt with Dongjiang Town for many years, reflexively read out the names behind these surnames.
"King Qin?" Yang Guli murmured, a little inconceivable: "Shouldn't King Qin go to the capital?"
At this time, Duoduo rushed over: "Forehead son-in-law, are you the beggars from Dongjiang?"
"It's not a beggar anymore, it's Cao's Falcon."
With a sullen face, Yang Guli yelled at the surroundings first: What are you doing in a daze, the whole army is in formation, reject the horse formation!
Then, he whispered to Duduo: "You go to the rear. Seeing that my front line has dispersed, you must order the Mongols to fight to the death! Later, you will return to the Santun Camp yourself, and Chen Bing will stick to it, and Hou Beile's army! Remember! , the three camps cannot be lost! The life of the whole family is in your hands!"
Dodo broke out in cold sweat: "I'll save it, what about you?"
The moment he saw the armor on the Dongjiang cavalry, Yang Guli already knew that his previous nightmare had come true.
It just so happened that it would be difficult for him to go back and confess anyway.
In the defeat of Chunlei Castle this time, Yang Guli personally buried more than [-] captives and bannermen, as well as thousands of elite main forces.This includes almost all the white armor/red armor soldiers of the Zhenghuang Banner.Therefore, Yang Guli now instinctively chose the most perfect path for himself: "I will lead people to guard, and you don't care about me."
The battle was urgent, Duoduo nodded and left.
On the other hand, Yang Guli yelled loudly, and ordered the second-line bannermen under his command to pick up anything that could be called a stick or a spear, stick it obliquely on the ground, and set up a battle in the narrow ravine.
Just at the moment when the densely packed banners were forming, the black front on the opposite side had already arrived at Taniguchi.After a long horn sounded, the dark knight turned on his horse.
Immediately afterwards, I saw the "Kong" banner in the enemy formation shaking for a while, and then there were five cavalry in a row, a total of ten rows of 500 cavalry formations, moved to the right side of Taniguchi.
No need to mobilize at all.All the soldiers of Dongjiang Town, who had a blood feud with the Tartars, clamped their lances tightly with their arms.
Taking a deep breath, Kong Youde, the former general of the Dongjiang River, who was "brave and good at fighting, was the first to ascend before the battle, was crowned among the generals", pulled off his black visor.While pulling the reins and urging the horse, he lowered the spear in his hand by thirty degrees.
Following Kong Youde's movement, the entire phalanx buried guns and activated at the same time.In the suffocating air before, finally came the sound of horseshoes that soothed the nerves.
However, tens of seconds later, the dense sound of horseshoes amplified by the reverberation in the valley turned into a life-threatening sound.The bannermen in the front row had their pupils of fear widened to the maximum at this moment.
Before the impact of the black torrent, some people were scared out of their minds by the trembling ground and the ear-shattering magic sound, and their legs were so weak that they sat down on the ground, and some people dropped their spears and turned around to escape.
Unfortunately, it was too late.
The heavy armored knight slammed into the banner formation.Immediately afterwards, there was the sound of iron objects piercing into the flesh, followed by the muffled sound of being knocked into the air, and the scream of the stump flying into the air.
Most of the bannermen did not have armor, and those who had armor were buried in Chunlei Castle before.So the impact of Kong Youde's phalanx was extremely smooth.
Just like a black combine harvester doing its homework, the seemingly dense formation of long snakes in the valley can't stop the charge of the steel-armored serial horse formation at all.Countless banners fell down like wheat, and flesh and blood immediately began to spread on the ground following the path of Kong Youde's department.
Yang Guli, who was behind the infantry formation, fully expected the result. The white armored soldiers under him were also killed by this kind of armor before.
However, Yang Guli did not despair: after Kong Youde's men rushed for nearly 200 meters, the impact potential energy was finally lost, and they entered the stage of hand-to-hand combat where they abandoned guns and used knives.
The biggest advantage of cavalry is potential energy.Once the potential energy is lost, the infantry will always be dismounted.
However, in the next breath, the sound of rumbling horseshoes echoed in the valley again.In Yanguli's stunned eyes, another cavalry formation of 500 people appeared on Yanguli's left hand.The moment he saw the word "Mao" recognizing the flag in the cavalry, the cavalry had already reached the highest speed and stabbed obliquely into the flag formation: Dongjiang Mao Chenglu.
Seeing the black harvester turned on again and Qi Ding's blood spattering, Yang Guli realized that Kong Youde's troops had drawn a diagonal line from the right to attack the main formation.When the potential energy is exhausted, the general will leave a passage for Mao Chenglu in the rear.
Yang Guli, who knows that he will not be spared today, is showing his fierceness in this desperate situation.He drew out his waist knife conveniently, first chopped off several bannermen who turned around, and at the same time shouted loudly in Manchu, and together with his own soldiers, surrounded the square formation of bannermen and surged forward.
In fact, the long snake formation formed by the second-line bannermen has already collapsed at this moment.The only advantage is that the ravine is narrow and steep on both sides, which prevents the bannermen from fleeing in all directions, and can only squeeze and sway to form a loose long snake to be slaughtered.
Finally, after finally driving all the bannermen in front of them into the enemy's cavalry to fight for their lives, Yang Guli survived until Mao Chenglu's troops stopped their horses.
With a smirk, the prince-in-law stepped forward with a straight knife, ready to get one to earn money, and two to earn one.
However, the tragic battle, the earth-shaking battlefield, and all kinds of screams before death have already blocked the forehead's hearing, making him much duller.
The next moment, another row of shocking black armored cavalry appeared in front of Yanguli.When he was knocked into the air, he took one last look and saw the general's banner "Shang".
————————————————————————————
The brutal cavalry relay assault caused tens of thousands of unarmored bannermen to be killed all the way like mowing grass.Before Shang Kexi could run out of kinetic energy in the third battle, Qi Ding, who was frightened by the horrific harvesting scene and the flying flesh and blood, finally collapsed completely.
These bannermen did not hesitate to turn around and climb up the cliffs on both sides and fell to their deaths, and they did not want to face heavy cavalry assaults again.
When the infantry dispersed, it was the turn of the Mongol cavalry.
The Mongolian in leather armor was originally here to do odd jobs. How could he use his big pie face to bump into the terrifying black steel armor.So, before the fourth Li Jiuzheng phalanx rushed to the front, the frightened Mongolian Qingqi had already started to turn around and run away.
However, it is not so easy to turn around in groups on narrow mountain roads.After all, Li Jiucheng's troops broke into the Mongolian cavalry formation fiercely.
In this way, a group of [-] heavy armored cavalry forcibly cut through the eastern section of the Yanshan Corridor guarded by more than [-] Manchurian Eight Banners.
The cruel but not too tragic gouging station resulted in a thirty-mile-long corridor covered with the flesh and blood of Bannermen and Mongolians, creating a flesh and blood alley.
The region-like scene shocked the cavalry battalion and the leaders of the Northern Expeditionary Army who arrived later.
Fortunately, the [-]-mile journey is very short, and it will pass after a little patience.
When everyone regained their composure, a large military camp had already appeared at the T-junction in the mountains ahead, which was the destination of this trip: Santun Camp.
Leaning on a broken porch pillar, Jiang Hu, with an unshaven beard and a bunt, was also lying lazily, with a straw in his mouth.
Jiang Hu is a native of Tianjin. He was a ranger in his early years, and he also joined the caravan.After Lord Chongzhen came to power, things got worse and worse, and Jiang Hu did not stop doing business that violated the laws of the Ming Dynasty.
Then, suddenly one day, the fleet from the south filled the port, and the novelty goods from the south filled the warehouse.
Today, Tianjin Wei has already become the largest freight distribution center in North China.All the people in Hecheng, young and old, have become Cao Dashuai's employees either actively or passively.
This city was named Cao a few years ago.
Jiang Hu did not escape this rule either.Since it is easy to find work in the city, there is no need for him to go outside to live a hard life.After coming and going, relying on the advantages of the old local household, Jiang Hu hired security guards at Master Mei's Jinlilai Firm.In the past few years, the middle-aged Jiang Hu in the human world has lived a stable life.
Today he was sent out as a "lookout".
In other words, since the Tartars entered the customs again, Tianjin has been shocked three times a day.Today, all trade routes leading to the west and north have been stopped.
As time went on, the atmosphere became more and more tense.Every day, the latest battle report was uploaded from the official bulletin of the Port Authority: more than ten days after entering the customs, the Tartars had captured more than ten cities around the capital, captured more than [-] people, and countless goods.
Wearing shoes is the worst kind of trouble with bare feet.Nowadays, the number of the rich and the middle class in Tianjin is increasing exponentially. There are many goods and goods everywhere, and the wealth can rival the country. Isn’t it the city of fat sheep that the Tartars like to grab?
Although there is a Flying Tiger Battalion in charge, its meager number of people is not safe in front of the 10,000+ Tartar army.So the "elders" in the city teamed up to collect several million taels of silver in military pay from the very beginning, and went to Feihu Camp to petition, hoping to invite the general to go out again to destroy the bandits.
At worst, some people should be sent to defend the hometown.
Unexpectedly, Feihuying not only refunded the money, but also released news: the commander-in-chief is leading the main force to clear the rebel army of the Huskies in Haidong, and he will not be able to return in a short time.
This news frightened all the people in Hecheng.
Fortunately, within a few days, thousands of soldiers from Dongjiang Town came to Tianjin to assist in the defense.
Tianjin is between Dongjiang Town and Dengzhou.In the early years, Mao Wenlong and the Dengzhou officialdom had a mess, until the collapse of Dongjiang Town, Tianjin people next door knew it all.
Although they didn't like the beggar in Dongjiang Town, since the commander invited him to help him, the young and old held their noses and welcomed the former.
In this torment, there are always smart people who can guess something.Ming people just lack the insight of hundreds of years.In terms of brain capacity alone, there is no difference between a Mingren and a time traveler.
For example, the chairman of the Tianjin Chamber of Commerce, the proprietor of Goldlion Commercial Bank, a well-known local social sage, the father of Mei Fuxi, the commander of a certain battalion in Feihuying, and Mei Laoqianhu.
Mei Qianhu is the local person who has the deepest contact with the Cao family, so he usually participates in some military-civilian joint construction projects. During this war, Mei Qianhu was in charge of the formation of the front transport teams in various cities in Tianjin and the resettlement of the family members of the supporters. Condolences and other work.
It probably smelled something from the strength of the preparations for the pre-support transport team.Recently, Mei Qianhu began to secretly send people to the mouth of the Haihe River to "watch the wind".
Jiang Hu is the old security guard of the Mei family, and it is his turn to watch the wind at the mouth of the Haihe River these days.
The mouth of the Haihe River is still a little away from Tianjin City.As early as several years ago, the crossing forces launched a large-scale labor force at the mouth of the Haihe River, and built Tianjin Outer Port along the coast.
Jiang Hu stayed today at an abandoned pier south of the Outer Harbor. Now there are no pirates, and there are no guards.Both disappeared without notice.
Staying on the pier with Jiang Hu was a lookout sent by the other two bigwigs.
The three of them had been on the plinth for two days.Every day, I come to the pier early in the morning to watch the wind, and I go back to the Outer Harbor to sleep at night, which is very boring.But after tonight, Jiang Hu can go back to the city and change people.
When Jiang Hu was bored looking at the southern sea in a daze, Lao Wu, the nurse of Qian Xingshi's family, said in a muffled voice, "It's almost time, shall we go back?"
Jiang Hu became excited when he heard this.Although it's still early in the evening, it's already dusk after all, so it's okay to say that it's time to get off work.Who makes being on the pier so boring.
So Jiang Hu jumped up: "Let's go, go back to Hong Kong, kill the chicken, cut the noodles, and have a couple of quarrels."
The three people on the pier looked at each other, and they all started to pack the bits and pieces they brought, and then walked down the ladder one by one.
Just when Xiao Liao, the last and youngest nurse, was about to get off the ladder, he accidentally raised his head and glanced at him, but suddenly froze: "Tiger, Mr. Hu, why did I see smoke?"
Jiang Hu, who had already descended to the second floor of the pier, was stunned when he heard the words lying on the ladder, and finally climbed back again.
"Ah!" After climbing back, Jiang Hu was stunned with just one glance: as far as he could see, a faint black line appeared between the sea and the sky.
"Wait and see." Jiang Hu made up his mind: "Maybe it's a small cargo fleet."
Not long after, Jiang Hu slapped himself in the face.The thick black smoke pillars on the sea seemed to slow down and fast, changing from one to two, then from two to three, and more and more, until finally showing the whole picture: a giant fleet.
After a while, after clearing the leading battleships, Jiang Hu slapped his thigh vigorously: "Ha, there are big gunships, it should be as the master said, this is Cao Shuai's personal visit!"
The three lookouts climbed down the pier like flying, jumped on the horses brought by the side, and rushed towards Tianjin City like lightning.
These few are all from rich families, and Tianjin is the distribution center for horses in northern China, so they all have one person and two horses.Non-stop all the way, changing horses back and forth, and running for dozens of miles.
Mei Qianhu was overjoyed when he heard the news.After rewarding Jiang Hu with the silver, he ordered the people in the mansion to prepare the incense table and other things overnight in case of emergencies.
In the early morning of the next day, the sky lightened a little, and there was already a commotion inside and outside the old city, and the news spread among Ming people like lightning.A large number of people on horseback or even on foot left the city one after another, looking for targets along the banks of the Haihe River.
At ten o'clock in the morning, the raucous crowd returned.They accompanied the black-smoky fleet in the Haihe River, shouting and laughing like a wedding reception team, and the flow of people gathered into a sea of joy.
At noon, Wei Yuan, chief of staff of the Northern Expedition, was the first to step off the [-]-ton battleship Kaiyuan.With the attention of all people, Han Xiaobo, the governor of the North, stepped forward, and the two shook hands tightly.
Immediately afterwards, amidst the tide of cheers, soldiers of the Northern Expedition, carrying tactical backpacks and rifles, poured out of the cabin and began to disembark.
On Wei Yuan's side, under the guidance of the Chief Superintendent Han, he greeted the local "elders" who had prepared an incense table and put banners such as "Jiemin Upside Down" and "Zebei Cangsheng" behind them, and thanked the elders for their support. Preparations before the army branch.
This day was September 27th, just three days had passed since Li Jichun broke Yangguli.
Afterwards, after eating two mouthfuls of food, the Northern Expeditionary Army, from Commander Han Xiaobo down, to all military directors above the battalion, gathered in the lobby of the Feihu Camp to start an emergency strategic deployment.
The first item, of course, is to report the current situation.
An information warfare staff officer with mysterious symbols embroidered on an armband pointed to many points on the big map and told the current situation: The main force of the cavalry of the Flying Tiger Battalion is still facing off against the Eight Banners of the enemy Mongolia on the front line of Tangshan.
According to the previous instructions, in order to avoid irritating the enemy, the cavalry of the Feihu Battalion only maintained the actual control of the front line of Tangshan, and did not have too much contact with the Mongolian Eight Banners.
Secondly, since the early morning of this morning, a part of the Yuanchunleiying Cavalry and a part of the Dongjiang Town Cavalry have spread blockades in the north, west and south of Tianjin.Since the early morning of this morning, Tianjin is allowed to enter and not to leave.
This blocking action is expected to guarantee information concealment within 48 hours.
"It won't take that long."
Wei Yuan, the chief of staff who sat high above, said loudly at this time: "Our main force has been repairing in Dengzhou for a long time, and there is no problem of acclimatization. Disembark today, and we can set off tomorrow."
"Yes." Han Xiaobo nodded in agreement, and ordered: "Tell me about the situation of the two main forces of the Qing army."
"The main force of the Qing army on the western front in the Gyeonggi area has not observed any obvious signs of retreat. The farthest part of it has reached Handan and Guantao."
Han Xiaobo and Wei Yuan exchanged glances in secret: they have restrained a lot.
Inside the traveler, there are some secrets that can only be shared by their own people: In the original history, after entering the customs this time, Jin Bingfeng paved the farthest line of the Yellow River, and arrived in Baodi, Tianjin in the east, which is much bolder than this plane.
"The main force of the Qing army on the eastern front, according to the telegram two hours ago, did not continue to attack Chunlei Fort."
Hearing what the staff officer said, Han Xiaobo and Wei Yuan looked at each other and laughed.
After sending off all the white-armored soldiers on hand three days ago, Yang Guli, the forehead, was paralyzed under the Chunlei Fort like a dog whose spine was broken.
According to the judgment of the General Staff of the Northern Expedition Army, Azig, who received the news later, is unlikely to encourage Yangguli to fight again. He has been lingering in the heartland of Ming Dynasty for a month, and the harvest has reached the minimum expectation.
In this situation, considering Yang Guli's fate, Azig's fear of Cao's must have reached its peak.Therefore, within these two days, Azig has a high probability of ordering the withdrawal of troops.
After thinking for a moment, Wei Yuan said with certainty: "The time is just right. Even if Lord Baylor orders the withdrawal of troops now, the scattered troops, goods, and slow-moving captives will need time to gather together. There is no 20 days. Can't withdraw."
This time, Han Xiaobo, who already had a comprehensive consideration, did not give everyone too much time to discuss.Soon, after chatting with Wei Yuan in a low voice, Han Xiaobo got up and began to issue combat orders.
One: The heavy artillery unit must display a heroic, tenacious, and disciplined combat spirit, set off immediately, and strive to arrive at the theater as soon as possible.
Two: The supply troops set off immediately.
Three: The main infantry set off in turn in the morning, aiming at Tangshan.
Four: The main force of the rest of the cavalry, cover the infantry and advance slowly.After arriving at the first line of Tangshan, the whole army accelerated the assault and targeted the Santun camp.
These are the marching orders.As for the tactics, Wei Yuan, the chief of staff who stood up at the same time, laughed: "The gap between the strength of the enemy and us is too big, and we can push it flat."
--------------------------------
Following the order of the commander, the four 24-pound long-barreled naval heavy guns that had been stored in the Tianjin arsenal slowly left the warehouse under the guidance of many artillerymen.
Next, a team of up to [-] people divided labor and cooperated, and hung the artillery behind the team of [-] horses.
The front teams are all named after the cities in Tianjin.The proud-faced brawny man drank up Li Jiajing's Erguotou, then threw the bowl smartly, and then drove the horses along the main road, slowly pulling the heavy cannon out of town.
As the saying goes, soldiers and horses go first before moving food and grass.This time the Northern Expeditionary Army set off first, and it also had the style of the Huaihai Campaign: thousands of small carts left the city one after another in the afternoon, with various small triangular flags planted on them.
Early in the morning of the second day, when the sky was still dark, a large number of soldiers from the Northern Expedition quietly set foot on the road to the north.At the same time, the headquarters of the Northern Expedition set off with the army.
The strategy of the Northern Expedition Command is simple: Tianjin is two hundred miles away from Tangshan. The infantry set off on the 28th and marched normally. Thirty days ago, the main force could reach the front line of Tangshan.
At that time, no matter how they concealed it, it was impossible for large troops not to be discovered by the Mongolian cavalry.Therefore, all strategic feints are unnecessary from the [-]th day onwards.The rest is assault.
In the tense atmosphere before the war, time passed bit by bit. On the 28th, the whole army rushed to the road. On the 29th, the total number exceeded [-]. The main force of the infantry of the Northern Expedition Army, which was advancing in five routes, surpassed the slow-moving heavy artillery and transport troops, and rushed to the Beizhuang twenty miles south of Tangshan for repairs.
As the saying goes, there is no book without a coincidence.In the afternoon of this day, Han Xiaobo, who was riding on horseback, received a real-time surveillance report from the drone: The Qing soldiers in the Gyeonggi area showed signs of shrinking.
Another: The Chunlei battalion urgently received an emergency call, and the Yanguli troops began to retreat slowly. Please ask for instructions on whether to pursue or not.
"They're all infantry, what are you chasing? Tell Li Jichun to guard the fort, and he doesn't care about chasing people."
Speaking of this, Han Xiaobo flicked the telegram with the back of his hand: "Look, Lord Belle has finally made up his mind."
"The son-in-law was defeated on the 24th, so Baylor received the news on the 25th." Wei Yuan, who was on a horse beside him, took the telegram and read it, pondered for a while, and then said: "In other words, it took Baylor three days Time has finally decided on a strategic retreat."
"It can't be considered slow. After all, the son-in-law just didn't capture the castle, and the Mongols didn't find out the news of my main force going north." Han Xiaobo flicked his horsewhip and continued to analyze: "Master Belle is in Ji Town now, so it is impossible to know that we are leaving So. So the operation to clear the troops on the east and west fronts is an orderly evacuation after the communication is completed."
Wei Yuan rubbed his unshaven chin: "On the eastern front, the forehead is slowly retreating. It doesn't mean that they know we are coming, but they have no choice but to go back to the corridor mountain pass to set up a defensive line. Hmm. I think it can be temporarily adjusted and let the cavalry fight first. "
Han Xiaobo laughed, and then whipped the horse: "If the enemy does not move, I will not move. If the enemy wants to move, I will move first. Haha, I agree with this plan. Let the infantry march normally, and we will take the cavalry on the road."
Once the commander and the chief of staff have unified their opinions, the entire army must implement them.
That afternoon, the situation changed suddenly.The cavalry of the Flying Tiger Battalion, who had been guarding the Tangshan line of defense for a long time, suddenly launched a fierce attack on the Mongolian cavalry in front of them on the entire front.
The Mongolian cavalry who had just been attacked turned around and fled without saying a word.
These days, the Mongols have already figured out the strength gap between themselves and their opponents.If it weren't for the fact that Feihuying had no desire to attack, the Mongols would have already moved in.
When the Mongols escaped, they ran more than 100 miles with ease before dusk, and Yangguli, who had led his army back, knew the latest military situation.Immediately afterwards, Yang Guli ordered the whole army to speed up and rush back to the mountain pass in a hurry.
——————————————————————————————
At the same time Yang Guli knew about the military situation, the cavalry columns of the Northern Expedition led by the Northern Commander had already chased to the foot of Chunlei Fort.
Taking all the generals off their horses, and personally coming to the gentle slope of the Chunlei Fort wall, Han Xiaobo and the others were also in awe: Ever since they came out of the mountain, they have always crushed their opponents with their equipment, and rarely fought such a tragic offensive and defensive battle: "Li Jichun, your troops are brave and good at fighting, and you have a tenacious style. You have defeated the enemy under the critical pass. You should take the lead in this battle!"
Li Jichun, who was wearing a school official uniform, stood at attention immediately: "It all depends on the command of the commander-in-chief, and the soldiers obey their orders."
Han Xiaobo chuckled: "There is no need to be modest. In this way, the thousand cavalry before the Spring Thunder Battalion will return to the construction now. We will expand the Fourth Division of the Northern Expedition based on the Chunlei Battalion later, and you will continue to be the division commander."
Han Xiaobo's two words immediately made the Dongjiang soldiers behind him upset, and all squinted at Li Jichun, an old bastard: The Fourth Division of the Northern Expedition is the number of the regular army.Han Xiaobo's words mean that Li Jichun lost his membership as a guest general in the first battle and transferred to the direct line of the marshal.
Li Jichun immediately saluted: "The last general will obey the order of the governor of the capital!"
"As for other rewards." Han Xiaobo laughed dryly: "I'll talk about it later, you all understand."
"The last general dare not, the last general knows the severity."
Those present are all veteran rebels, who can understand Han Xiaobo's meaning: Marshal Cao can't reward his subordinates in the name of the emperor. Who is still sitting on the dragon chair? I still have to talk about it, after all, I have endured it for so long, and it is not bad for a few days.
Speaking of this, Han Xiaobo picked his face and began to arrange the next step: "That's it, let's go after the son-in-law, and you stay here."
Li Jichun was naturally aware of the movement of the army, and he also knew his responsibility.But at this time, he will definitely show a gesture of war: "The final general is willing to go with the commander-in-chief!"
"Li Jichun, I would advise you to weigh everything carefully!"
Han Xiaobo hadn't spoken yet, and Mao Chenglu, the nominal prince of Dongjiang Town, finally couldn't bear this wild boy: "The toad yawned, carefully burst his stomach!"
When Mao Chenglu sprayed it, all the heroes of the Dongjiang River were immediately filled with righteous indignation.As soon as the voice on this side fell, Kong Youde, who didn't know that he almost became the top five surrendered generals in history, also began to put eye drops on the governor very smoothly: "Li Jichun, you need to know that you are just a surrendered general. Don't forget your identity, I'm afraid you are looking for some Tartar general to catch up with the past?"
"Is it over? Is it over?"
Han Xiaobo didn't expect such a group of trolls to appear after a moment of daze.Angrily, he swung his whip and whipped it in the air: "Slander your colleagues and demote you? What grade are you? Ah? You have nothing to do, right? If you have nothing to do, go back to Tianjin."
As soon as Han Xiaobo finished his sentence, he saw that the governor was angry and the heroes of the Dongjiang River immediately yelled offended, and forgive him. They all mounted their horses and chased after the enemy.
"Don't worry about this group of people, their quality is too low. When the nation is established in the future, they will all return to the stove. When they come out, they will be younger brothers in front of you!"
Seeing that the governor even said such words, Li Jichun, who was already in a peaceful state of mind, was very moved and bowed again: "The last general thanked the governor for slowing down his cheeks."
"Hmm." Han Xiaobo, who was about to get on his horse, finally asked Li Jichun, "Do you know what you are asked to do here?"
Poor Li Jichun rebuilt the Chunlei Camp, nailed to Yongping all these years, how many times he has replayed today's scene, how could he not know what Han Xiaobo's question meant.
The next moment, Li Jichun replied without hesitation: "Guan Ning Army."
"Yes, it's the Guan Ning Army." Han Xiaobo got on his horse and said, "Leave out the cavalry, and fight if you see the Guan Ning Army. Keep an eye on me, don't let those bastards spoil my good deeds."
"The commander of the last commander!"
——————————————————————————————
Out of breath, Yangguli, the son-in-law, marched hurriedly for a day with less than 50 bannermen under him, covering a distance of more than [-] miles.Finally, when it was getting dark, the whole army ran into the mountain pass of the Yanshan Corridor.
At this time, Yang Guli felt a little more at ease: the east end of the Yanshan Corridor was a ravine less than 1 meters wide. More than [-] people guarded this ravine, and the few-numbered Flying Tiger Battalion could not enter.
However, looking at Qi Ding lying crooked on the ground, Yang Guli couldn't ask these people to build fortifications at the mountain pass overnight.
After discussing with the second great king Duoduo, the two hastily divided the work: Yangguli led the bannermen to guard the front, and Duoduo led the remaining elite Manchus and Mongolian cavalry to guard the rear.Then the whole army will get up tomorrow morning to repair the fortifications and seal the mountain pass.
In fact, for today's news, the forehead has long been mentally prepared.According to the time, his side collapsed five days ago, and the Chunlei Camp will naturally notify the rear.The Flying Tiger Camp rushed up to beat the dog in the water until today. In Yang Guli's view, it was considered slow to react.
As for the sudden launch of the Flying Tiger Battalion, the main force of the Cao family will appear behind the Flying Tiger Battalion. Although this assumption has often appeared in dreams these days, the forehead after waking up dare not think about it.
Fortunately, the nightmare is finally over.
Now as long as he guards the mountain pass for a few days, after the large troops in the Gyeonggi area withdraw from Xifeng Pass, the son-in-law will be able to return to his beloved Baishan Heishui.
In the following night, a few musketeers appeared outside the mountain pass to harass them, but they didn't make any big moves.
If so, the night passed peacefully.
--------------------------------
In the early morning, the son-in-law, who was tired all day, was shaken awake by someone: "Forehead son-in-law, Dong. Dongjiang town!"
"What?" A son-in-law who jumped up vigilantly stood on the hillside and looked out of the mountain pass.
Immediately, Yang Guli gasped.
On the flat ground outside the valley, a black horizontal line was approaching the mouth of the valley.A closer look reveals a thick cavalry formation.All the knights were walking slowly leading their horses. Both men and horses were wearing black armor, the same style as the Chunlei Camp piercing through the white armor, but it was matte black.
On the flag in the middle of the cavalry formation, there is a flag with the word "Cao" hanging on it.
To Yang Guli's shock, there was a vertical flag next to the Cao character recognition flag, with a line of big characters embroidered on it: So the general officer of Dongjiang Town, the left governor Mao.
"Mao Wenlong?"
Just when Yang Guli was wondering, the black line got closer, and he also saw the words on the other smaller flags: Kong, Mao, Shang, Geng, Li.
Kong Youde.
Mao Chenglu.
Still gratifying.
Geng Jingzhong.
Li Jiucheng.
Seeing the banners, Yang Guli, who had dealt with Dongjiang Town for many years, reflexively read out the names behind these surnames.
"King Qin?" Yang Guli murmured, a little inconceivable: "Shouldn't King Qin go to the capital?"
At this time, Duoduo rushed over: "Forehead son-in-law, are you the beggars from Dongjiang?"
"It's not a beggar anymore, it's Cao's Falcon."
With a sullen face, Yang Guli yelled at the surroundings first: What are you doing in a daze, the whole army is in formation, reject the horse formation!
Then, he whispered to Duduo: "You go to the rear. Seeing that my front line has dispersed, you must order the Mongols to fight to the death! Later, you will return to the Santun Camp yourself, and Chen Bing will stick to it, and Hou Beile's army! Remember! , the three camps cannot be lost! The life of the whole family is in your hands!"
Dodo broke out in cold sweat: "I'll save it, what about you?"
The moment he saw the armor on the Dongjiang cavalry, Yang Guli already knew that his previous nightmare had come true.
It just so happened that it would be difficult for him to go back and confess anyway.
In the defeat of Chunlei Castle this time, Yang Guli personally buried more than [-] captives and bannermen, as well as thousands of elite main forces.This includes almost all the white armor/red armor soldiers of the Zhenghuang Banner.Therefore, Yang Guli now instinctively chose the most perfect path for himself: "I will lead people to guard, and you don't care about me."
The battle was urgent, Duoduo nodded and left.
On the other hand, Yang Guli yelled loudly, and ordered the second-line bannermen under his command to pick up anything that could be called a stick or a spear, stick it obliquely on the ground, and set up a battle in the narrow ravine.
Just at the moment when the densely packed banners were forming, the black front on the opposite side had already arrived at Taniguchi.After a long horn sounded, the dark knight turned on his horse.
Immediately afterwards, I saw the "Kong" banner in the enemy formation shaking for a while, and then there were five cavalry in a row, a total of ten rows of 500 cavalry formations, moved to the right side of Taniguchi.
No need to mobilize at all.All the soldiers of Dongjiang Town, who had a blood feud with the Tartars, clamped their lances tightly with their arms.
Taking a deep breath, Kong Youde, the former general of the Dongjiang River, who was "brave and good at fighting, was the first to ascend before the battle, was crowned among the generals", pulled off his black visor.While pulling the reins and urging the horse, he lowered the spear in his hand by thirty degrees.
Following Kong Youde's movement, the entire phalanx buried guns and activated at the same time.In the suffocating air before, finally came the sound of horseshoes that soothed the nerves.
However, tens of seconds later, the dense sound of horseshoes amplified by the reverberation in the valley turned into a life-threatening sound.The bannermen in the front row had their pupils of fear widened to the maximum at this moment.
Before the impact of the black torrent, some people were scared out of their minds by the trembling ground and the ear-shattering magic sound, and their legs were so weak that they sat down on the ground, and some people dropped their spears and turned around to escape.
Unfortunately, it was too late.
The heavy armored knight slammed into the banner formation.Immediately afterwards, there was the sound of iron objects piercing into the flesh, followed by the muffled sound of being knocked into the air, and the scream of the stump flying into the air.
Most of the bannermen did not have armor, and those who had armor were buried in Chunlei Castle before.So the impact of Kong Youde's phalanx was extremely smooth.
Just like a black combine harvester doing its homework, the seemingly dense formation of long snakes in the valley can't stop the charge of the steel-armored serial horse formation at all.Countless banners fell down like wheat, and flesh and blood immediately began to spread on the ground following the path of Kong Youde's department.
Yang Guli, who was behind the infantry formation, fully expected the result. The white armored soldiers under him were also killed by this kind of armor before.
However, Yang Guli did not despair: after Kong Youde's men rushed for nearly 200 meters, the impact potential energy was finally lost, and they entered the stage of hand-to-hand combat where they abandoned guns and used knives.
The biggest advantage of cavalry is potential energy.Once the potential energy is lost, the infantry will always be dismounted.
However, in the next breath, the sound of rumbling horseshoes echoed in the valley again.In Yanguli's stunned eyes, another cavalry formation of 500 people appeared on Yanguli's left hand.The moment he saw the word "Mao" recognizing the flag in the cavalry, the cavalry had already reached the highest speed and stabbed obliquely into the flag formation: Dongjiang Mao Chenglu.
Seeing the black harvester turned on again and Qi Ding's blood spattering, Yang Guli realized that Kong Youde's troops had drawn a diagonal line from the right to attack the main formation.When the potential energy is exhausted, the general will leave a passage for Mao Chenglu in the rear.
Yang Guli, who knows that he will not be spared today, is showing his fierceness in this desperate situation.He drew out his waist knife conveniently, first chopped off several bannermen who turned around, and at the same time shouted loudly in Manchu, and together with his own soldiers, surrounded the square formation of bannermen and surged forward.
In fact, the long snake formation formed by the second-line bannermen has already collapsed at this moment.The only advantage is that the ravine is narrow and steep on both sides, which prevents the bannermen from fleeing in all directions, and can only squeeze and sway to form a loose long snake to be slaughtered.
Finally, after finally driving all the bannermen in front of them into the enemy's cavalry to fight for their lives, Yang Guli survived until Mao Chenglu's troops stopped their horses.
With a smirk, the prince-in-law stepped forward with a straight knife, ready to get one to earn money, and two to earn one.
However, the tragic battle, the earth-shaking battlefield, and all kinds of screams before death have already blocked the forehead's hearing, making him much duller.
The next moment, another row of shocking black armored cavalry appeared in front of Yanguli.When he was knocked into the air, he took one last look and saw the general's banner "Shang".
————————————————————————————
The brutal cavalry relay assault caused tens of thousands of unarmored bannermen to be killed all the way like mowing grass.Before Shang Kexi could run out of kinetic energy in the third battle, Qi Ding, who was frightened by the horrific harvesting scene and the flying flesh and blood, finally collapsed completely.
These bannermen did not hesitate to turn around and climb up the cliffs on both sides and fell to their deaths, and they did not want to face heavy cavalry assaults again.
When the infantry dispersed, it was the turn of the Mongol cavalry.
The Mongolian in leather armor was originally here to do odd jobs. How could he use his big pie face to bump into the terrifying black steel armor.So, before the fourth Li Jiuzheng phalanx rushed to the front, the frightened Mongolian Qingqi had already started to turn around and run away.
However, it is not so easy to turn around in groups on narrow mountain roads.After all, Li Jiucheng's troops broke into the Mongolian cavalry formation fiercely.
In this way, a group of [-] heavy armored cavalry forcibly cut through the eastern section of the Yanshan Corridor guarded by more than [-] Manchurian Eight Banners.
The cruel but not too tragic gouging station resulted in a thirty-mile-long corridor covered with the flesh and blood of Bannermen and Mongolians, creating a flesh and blood alley.
The region-like scene shocked the cavalry battalion and the leaders of the Northern Expeditionary Army who arrived later.
Fortunately, the [-]-mile journey is very short, and it will pass after a little patience.
When everyone regained their composure, a large military camp had already appeared at the T-junction in the mountains ahead, which was the destination of this trip: Santun Camp.
