Back to the end of the Ming Dynasty to engage in infrastructure construction

Chapter 207 Taking down Tieling
When he came out of Zhaoji Bank, Ma Zhuguo's legs were still light.

The commander-in-chief's conversation burned like a ball of fire in his heart.

If Marshal Zhao's majestic strategy is realized, it will be an immortal foundation!

Marshal Zhao is not just as simple as being an emperor, he will even surpass Qin Huang and Han Wu in the future.

And Ma Zhuguo, as long as he works hard with Marshal Zhao, wouldn't he be famous in history?

Nothing is more tempting to scholars than being famous in history.

Some scholars even give up their seven-foot body in order to be famous in history!

Follow Marshal Zhao and work hard!
Ma Zhuguo only felt that his whole body was full of strength.

……

Tieling.

Boom boom boom!
A series of Napoleon guns bombarded the city head one after another.

Outside the west city gate, a fortress built by Esco's blast-proof wall stands.

A series of Napoleon guns lined up at the top of the city, and a soldier of the conscript army raised his gun and fired at the top of the city.

The dense bullets made the Tartars at the top of the city unable to lift their heads.

However, the legion commander and Yu Hu were still dissatisfied.

The two were paying money on a small wooden table, with their heads down, studying a map at the same time.

Niu Dali stepped on the stool with one foot, a cigarette in his hand, and his brows were furrowed.

Yu Hu has disheveled hair and bloodshot eyes.

"Damn it! It's been three days! Why are the Tartars in the city so stubborn? If we delay it any longer and let Lao An and Lao Zheng take the lead, we won't be able to hold our heads up!"

Niu cursed vigorously, his voice a little hoarse.

In the past few days, he has been on the front line almost all day long, roaring and making the cannons blast hard.

My voice is hoarse.

"Lao Niu, I don't feel right!" Yu Hu frowned, "Our two legions have a total of 2000 people, with such strong firepower, how can a small Tieling City withstand it? This is not He Tuala, let alone Shengjing, the Tartars have no reason to work so hard!"

"That's right! Damn! I'm also surprised. We didn't encircle on all sides! The commander-in-chief said that as long as we don't encircle all sides and give the enemy a way to retreat, once the firepower is fierce, the enemy will easily collapse when the battle situation is urgent. Now we have enough firepower!
Moreover, the old lair of the Tartars has already been lost, Shengjing and Hetuala have been lost, why are they still working so hard? "

Niu Dali was also extremely annoyed.

"Horse farm!"

Yu Hu's eyes lit up suddenly.

"Tieling is different from Shengjing and Hetuala. This is the horse farm of the Tatars. The most important thing here is not the city of Tieling, but the surrounding horse farms. They are the war horses in the horse farms! The Tartars are here. Delaying us here must be taking the opportunity to divert the horses!"

Niu slapped his forehead vigorously.

"It's careless! You're still a tiger, you can think clearly. No wonder these Tartars are desperate here. They feel that they are delaying time and transferring horses? No! They must not be allowed to escape!"

Niu Dali was in a hurry.

"Well! We must not let them run away. If we only take down Tieling City and let the war horses of the Tartars run away, the commander will reward us later, and we will be ashamed to take it!
How about this, you take your army around to intercept the Tartars and prevent them from taking away their horses and livestock.Our army stays here and continues to attack the city. " said Yu Hu.

"No! We are the first army! Of course we are attacking the city, you go to intercept the horses and livestock. What's the point of fighting in the field? Those Tartars are too weak! Siege is fun!" Niu Dali shook his head like a rattle .

If the Ming army heard it, their jaws would definitely drop in shock.

Tartars are too weak, field battles are boring?
The Ming army has been discouraged now, and they dare not fight the Tartars in the field at all!
The two argued for a while, and in the end, they had to draw lots to decide.

As soon as Yu Hu drew the stick to intercept the horses and livestock, he was immediately downcast.

"When we get back to Shengjing, you have to treat me to Laowu...to drink Moutai! When we go back, the supply and marketing cooperative should open. You want to buy a box of Moutai for us to drink."

"A box of Moutai? You won't die if you drink it! A bottle of Moutai costs more than 2000, and it's limited. I only buy one bottle for a month's military salary!" Niu Dali stared.

The soldiers of the expeditionary army earned more and were generally generous, but they were not taken advantage of.

"Then at least buy a bottle, so that everyone can satisfy their hunger. Don't say you can't afford it. There are a lot of rewards for your military achievements." Yu Hu said.

"That's no problem. You can't afford a box, but a bottle is still fine." Niu vigorously nodded.

"Add another Huazi..."

"Get lost! Don't push yourself too far!" Niu Dali was annoyed.

"I'll forgive you!"

Yu Hu smiled, and took away the half box of Huazi on the table.

He didn't want Yu Hu to buy a box of Moutai at first, that's too high a requirement.

One bottle is already overjoyed.

Yu Hu took the people away.

……

"Oops! They're heading for the horse farm!"

At the top of the city, Ye Bilong looked at the conscript army dividing up in the distance, and couldn't help but slapped his hands hard.

However, this time he didn't even have the idea of ​​ambushing the conscript army.

The Crusaders are too good at fighting.

Especially after changing to the gray military uniform this time, the combat effectiveness has soared.

When the Ming army first arrived and built a fort outside, he tried to sneak attack.

He didn't want to defeat the Ming army, he just wanted to hinder the opponent, slow down the speed of the opponent's fortification, and buy time for the retreat of the horse farm.

The horse farm is not full of adult war horses, there are pregnant mares, ponies, cattle and sheep and other livestock, as well as fur tents and so on.

Retreat takes time.

The longer they procrastinate here, the more things they can withdraw, and the more energy they can preserve for Dajin Kingdom.

But the troops sent out were defeated as soon as they left the city.

The firecrackers of the Ming army seemed to be sharper.

2000 people shot, the bullets were like a rainstorm, and a Jurchen warrior fell from his horse.

The sound of the cannon was deafening, and shells fell from the sky...

There is no way to fight this battle!

A team of a thousand people retreated before even a stick of incense lasted.

There are only more than 300 people who can come back alive.

After that battle, no one dared to mention the sneak attack again.

"They have seen through our scheme. These conscripts are not only able to fight, but also have brains... How could such an army suddenly appear in Ming Dynasty? Could it be that the heavens really sent us to punish us?"

Fan Wencheng felt at a loss, almost doubting life.

The fortune of the Dajin Kingdom is flourishing, so why did it suddenly take a turn for the worse?
He just couldn't take it.

"Lord Fan, what should we do now?" Ye Bilong asked.

"Let's go! We've done our best! Go join the Great Khan. If it's too late, we won't be able to leave."

Fan Wencheng sighed lightly.

After the fall of Shengjing, Fan Wencheng escaped from the city, and instead of going directly to Huang Taiji, he turned to the east to manage Tieling.

Now, Tieling is about to fall again.

Ye Bilong opened his mouth, but did not speak, and lowered his head with a look of frustration.

He couldn't argue with that.

Their Ming army has fought against each other several times, so they are considered experienced.

He knew that if the opponent didn't attack the city now, it wasn't because he couldn't fight down, but because he was afraid of losing his manpower.

This Ming army is very weird.

These days, are you still afraid of lack of manpower?
As long as there are weapons, don't we need as many people as possible?

But in order to avoid losing a few people, the cannonballs were thrown over as if they didn't want money, and the firecrackers were crackling like they didn't want money...

It's too extravagant!

Fan Wencheng has always felt that he is well-informed, and there is nothing in the world that he does not know.

But for this Ming army, he was really puzzled.

As soon as Fan Wencheng led the army out of the city, Niu Dali got the news, and immediately gave an order, the charge horn sounded, and a thousand soldiers rushed towards Tieling City like crazy.

After days of bombing, the walls of Tieling City have already collapsed.

The morale of the Jin army in Tieling City was low because of the withdrawal of Fan Wencheng and other coaches.

Fan Wencheng left behind a dead army.

But the dead army shouted and wanted to charge back, and when they drove the conscript army out, they were greeted by a bunch of grenades that hit their heads and covered their faces.

After an explosion, the dead army was wiped out.

Take Iron Ridge City!
Niu Dali left 100 people to garrison Tieling City, while dispatching outposts to report victory to the Marshal's Mansion in Shengjing, while leading a large group of troops, he rushed to Anle.

He has to race against time to win these cities as soon as possible, and no matter what, he must not fall behind other legions.

……

To the east of Tieling, in a forest.

Dozens of Jurchen men were ambushing by the side of the road.

"How did you fight this battle? How could our Jurchen warriors fail to defeat the Ming army?"

Halaha is a man in his 40s with only one right eye.

His left eye was blinded by the Ming army's firecrackers during the battle with the Ming army, so he hated the Ming army very much.

Because of his eye injury and his military achievements, he was rewarded generously. He got a piece of fertile land in Tieling, where he raised cattle and horses, and lived a good life.

But yesterday, someone from Tieling City suddenly came to inform them that the army was about to call, and told them to pack up their things quickly, lead the cattle and horses, and leave here as soon as possible, go west, go north, go to the direction of the Horqin Grassland, and go to talk to everyone. Khan confluence.

When Halaha first heard the news, she couldn't believe her ears.

I asked the messenger several times before I was sure I heard correctly.

Communication was backward in this era, and the Jurchen herdsmen were all scattered on the grasslands, among the mountains and forests, and they didn't even know that Shengjing had fallen.

He knew nothing about the defeat of the Great Khan.

The latest news that Haraha knows is that the Great Khan led the Eight Banners army to conquer Lindan Khan, occupy more land for the tribe, and plunder more people, cattle and horses.

War is a good thing!

Halaha likes fighting very much.

Every time a battle is fought, a part of their Jurchens' land will be added, and the meritorious officials can go to staking the land.

You can also plunder the young and strong to be their slaves, and plunder the women to reproduce for them.

Especially the women of Daming, they are all white and tender, able to pinch water.

It was so delicious!
Also, they are all very fragile.

As long as those who dare to take the lead in making troubles are killed, the rest will be honest, like sheep.

Halaha likes Ming minions very much.

But today, they were actually notified to escape?

Halaha is not convinced!
"Don't be afraid! I asked, the Ming army only has 2000 people in total, and they are still attacking Tieling City. There will not be too many who can come to our place.

This is the only way for the Ming army to pass. When the Ming army comes, if the number is small, we will wipe them out.If there are too many people, we will beat them to death before withdrawing.

This is our territory, the mountains, rivers and rivers are as familiar as a part of our body.As long as we drill into the mountains and forests, the Ming army will not be able to catch us even if they are exhausted! "

Halaha turned her head and encouraged the crowd behind her.

This ambush was organized by him.

Although they were ordered to retreat, they did not want to go.

The time is too short, if they move away, they will have to give up a lot of belongings.

They are reluctant.

Also, this meadow...

Tieling can become an important horse farm for the Jurchens, and the aquatic plants are naturally very rich.

"Back then, we killed many Ming soldiers on the battlefield, and our military exploits gave us the opportunity to enclose the land here.

There was an owner of this land back then, and there were Ming people here.How many smart people have we worked so hard to kill and subdue them, so that they can be slaves obediently, and we have a good life today.

How can you give up this lush pasture just because of a word from those adults?Let me see which Ming army dares to come, I will fight with them! "

Halaha's eyes were as wide as copper bells.

"Yes! Fight them!"

All the Jurchens were full of courage.

They looked down on the Ming army from the bottom of their hearts.

At this moment, two horsemen came over.

Halaha took a look and said:
"It's our sentry."

The Jurchens are very good at fighting, and they fight very well. Every time they send out sentries in advance, they can even send out dozens of miles away.

"The Ming army is here! There are a total of 100 people. However, they are very strange. They don't wear mandarin duck jackets, but gray cloth clothes, and everyone has horses."

A scout panted.

"Oh?"

Halaha was taken aback for a moment, then quickly laughed and said:

"It's not surprising! It's not surprising at all! The Ming court has no money, and all the Ming soldiers are like beggars. They can't afford mandarin duck war jackets, and they wear gray cloth clothes in summer, just like beggars, nothing unusual.

We don't even have cotton armor... Let's not be afraid!After a while, a burst of bow and arrow will break them up.Everyone wait for the head grab! "

The group of Jurchens laughed happily, and the atmosphere was very pleasant.

Not long after, there was dust and smoke on the ground in the distance, and the Ming army came.

Seeing that it was getting closer, the Ming army suddenly stopped.

"Is it exposed?"

Halaha looked into the distance suspiciously.

……

"It's weird!"

This time the team was led by Shed.

He took a detachment, a total of 100 people, to sweep in this direction.

"Look at the forest, the birds are circling and not daring to fall... there is an ambush in all likelihood!"

Shed stood on horseback, took out the binoculars, and watched carefully.

"Just now, did two Tartar scouts run in this direction?" Shenzi turned around and asked.

"Yes, Captain." He replied later.
