Be the emperor from the postman

Chapter 898 Brand New Tactics (Two in One)

The hammer bandits actually split into three groups this time.

Some conquered Shaanxi and some defended Henan.

The reserve team was brought by He Jinzhao for a stroll in the capital.

The method of burying landmines can only delay the attack of the Qing army.

Azig drives the people in the city to landmines, but He Jinzhao has no good idea, he can only choose who to attack whom.

At present, the Qing troops on the city wall were all driven down by the poisonous smoke.

The Hammer bandit soldiers were naturally someone with a shield on their backs, trying to move forward, digging a few more holes to fill in real and fake mines, and to stop the Qing army's heavy infantry from dispatching quickly.

He Jinzhao put down the binoculars in his hand, the Qing army did not take the risk of shooting arrows outwards from the city wall.

Long shot, they're not very good at it either.

When the arrangement was completed, the sun was setting to the west, and there was another burst of fireworks.

Both the warring parties inside and outside the city did not treat their soldiers badly.

Mainly in terms of food and grass, all of them were unilaterally provided by Daming.

He Jinzhao held the bowl and listened to his subordinates' report.

The Qing army returning from Liangxiang had already arrived near Yuquan Mountain, and within half a day of crossing the Shahe River, they could arrive outside Changping City.

Another wave of fighting with the Mongols was pulled further and further away by Subutei.

Two days ago, they got the news that they had arrived in Pinggu, but today they withdrew to Jizhou to lure the Qing army to pursue them.

As for the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, they seemed to have disappeared collectively, and they didn't get involved in the fighting here at all.

Whoever loves will come.

Even though you hammer bandits, Qing army, and Mongols all come to stroll around the capital!
What worries me the most should be the dignitaries around the capital, and then the emperor.

As long as you don't hit me, the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty won't be bothered to attack.

Or they were excited when they heard that the Qing army was fighting the hammer bandits and the Mongols.

In the eyes of the Ming army, it would be great for a dog to bite a dog.

Maybe there is no risk, and you can pick up some heads, not only to deal with the court, but also to cheat some rewards.

"My lord, Subutai is still sensible."

Zhang Fuzhen smiled while holding the bowl in his hand.

"It doesn't matter if you understand or not, as long as you can make containment actions for our army."

He Jinzhao chewed his food and said, "Tomorrow, we will send cavalry out to lure a wave, and ask the Qing army to pursue them.

Slowly block along the way, break their morale, and mobilize the anxiety of the Qing army in the city. "

"If they are not fooled, then wait for the Qing army to slowly approach."

Zhang Fuzhen couldn't find much fault with He Jinzhao's strategy.

In order to prevent the Qing army from riding horses in this way, my lord also arranged small horse pits around.

As long as the soldiers under his command execute properly, the Qing army can be surprised along the way and dare not move forward.

Unless the leader of the Qing army is a general like Mang Gurtai or Haoge who likes to advance without thinking, otherwise he has to weigh it.

The prestige of the Hammer Bandit has long spread throughout the Qing army camp.

"My lord, are we sure we want to turn the big camp into a small camp tomorrow and disperse around Changping City?"

He Jinzhao nodded naturally: "We have a lot of people, 2000 people in each direction is enough."

The 3000-person car battalion just drew out the cavalry, and the firepower defense line was also strengthened, so it is no problem to defend.

It is not easy to command soldiers piled up together, so let's fight on our own.

At the same time, it can also be better supported, depending on whether Azig dares to let go and move out in all directions.

When the poisonous smoke dissipated, Azig and others boarded the city wall again, looking at the camp of hammer bandits.

"Tomorrow, Piangu will lead the army." Azig said while supporting the walls of the city:
"Ah Shan, you mean the landmines that He Jinzhao planted outside the city will explode when stepped on?"

"Yes." Ah Shan pointed to the hammer bandits outside the city and said, "Jun Wuying, they came prepared.

Moreover, the power of landmines is not small, it can cause great damage to our soldiers, and any formation will be disrupted. "

Azig looked back and pointed to the residential area:

"When the signal is sent tomorrow, drive the people out of the city and call them the vanguard of our army."

"Yes."

Ah Shan waved his hand casually, and told the people under him to get ready.

Most of the people in Changping City were driven away by plunder, and most of the rest were gentry who surrendered to the Qing army.

In this way, if you want to keep your wealth and life, you don't have to be driven like a big animal, and go to the bitter cold place in Liaodong to be a slave.

But they are not important to Azig, and he doesn't care what Huang Taiji said about winning the hearts of the Han people.

Even Azig would not necessarily put Manren in his eyes.

All slaves!
In his eyes, everything can be abandoned, let alone drive out the Han people in the city.

When those people are dead, they can naturally send soldiers to go to thunder.

When the pawns are gone, you can send other flags to go there.

Now that the hammer bandits have laid landmines, Azig will not let his core confidants be bombed.

In his logical ordering, the chips in his hand can always be discarded step by step.

the next day.

Pian Gu took the Qing army all the way across the river. On the other side of the Shahe River, he saw the hammer bandits playing with something like a wooden barrel.

There are not many people, and they are watching their side on the other side of the river.

Could it be that he wanted to hit halfway?

But He Jinzhao shouldn't have sent such a few people to lure him, that would be too contemptuous of me, Daqing!
"Send a Niulu to cross the river upstream and attack me in a detour."

To be on the safe side, Pian Gu gave an order, and then sent a Niu Lu to cross the river tentatively.

How can we just stand still because of this confusing incident?

Even if He Jinzhao is cunning, today he has to find out what kind of tricks he is playing.

Du Xingwen gestured with his finger, and when he saw that the Qing army was forcibly crossing the river, he called the people to retreat.

The hammer bandits withdrew in twos and threes.

Du Xingwen immediately came down to light the fuze, and then rode away.

Niu Lu, the vanguard of the Qing army, saw the hammer bandits suddenly speeding up and fleeing, so he subconsciously drove the horses forward.

Even if there is a fraud, someone must be sent to chase after it, and the fraud will be detected first, so as to prevent the large army from being ambushed.

Just when the Qing army wanted to test fraud, the other side of the river really exploded.

Bang bang bang.

Several explosions.

Dynamite packs sprayed from the barrel.

The wooden barrel was bombed to pieces, and the explosive package was even more difficult to judge its flight path.

In situ explosion, air explosion, falling into the river explosion.

The temporarily made long wooden barrels were naturally of poor quality, but the explosion caused by the flying explosives still caught the Qing army by surprise.

Even people and horses were knocked down in the sand river.

The soldiers of the Qing army who struggled to get up from the river saw their remaining half of the arm bleeding out, and finally screamed in fright.

The horses were frightened by the explosion and ran wildly in the river.

Bursts of red soon appeared on the surface of the water.

Many Qing soldiers were bombarded, sitting in the river, struggling and roaring.

Even as long as they can stand up, they can find that the water level is very shallow, and no one can be drowned.

But the reality is that it can really drown people.

Du Xingwen took a closer look with the binoculars. Although not all of them were shot out, the effect was enough to deter the Qing army.

"Hey hey, dog tartar."

He grinned and cursed: "Are the brothers in the back ready?"

"The signal has been sent, and there are Qing dogs crossing the river upstream."

"This is the appetizer." Du Xingwen put away the binoculars:
"Delicious food and drink are in the back, let's give Qinggou a good meal!"

"Yes."

Pian Gu was also taken aback by the explosion.

What shocked him at the same time was the tragic image of the soldiers under his command.

Because he is in a high position, he has a wider perspective and can see clearly.

The hammer bandits destroyed the bridge and deliberately blocked the shoal where it was easy to cross.

Pian Gu's face was rather dignified. He had already experienced the sharpness of the Hammer Bandit's firearms, but he had never seen such a thing.

"What firearm is this?"

Why did not find a few craftsmen who are good at making firearms during the plundering of a large number of people in the capital.

Pian Gu understood the emperor's ambition to vigorously develop firearms. He really wanted to capture the craftsmen of the hammer bandits and bring them back to the Qing Dynasty to make advanced firearms.

In his opinion, the firearms made by Daming are completely outdated.

But the hammer bandit in front of him had successfully blocked him, so why did he just run away?

"Ah, I'm afraid it's a fraud."

Pian Gu nodded.

This reminded him of the battle where the emperor led them to besiege the Daling River.

It is also the idea of ​​not going to attack the city, but calling for reinforcements.

But if you think about it, it's not exactly the same.

The Hammer Bandits had sharp artillery and excellent gunners, enough to bombard Changping City. On the other hand, their artillery was sharp, but the gunners were not.

Even if tens of thousands of catties of gunpowder are consumed, the Daling River may not be broken.

Pian Gu wondered what exactly He Jinzhao was planning?
But seeing Niu Lu, who was crossing upstream, leading the soldiers coming here, it is enough to predict that the hammer bandits did not deploy an army not far away, otherwise they would definitely be wiped out.

Because this is very similar to the fighting style of the hammer bandit, with more fighting and less fighting.

It's the same style as when he fought those hammer bandits pretending to be the Ming army.

Pian Gu was not in a hurry, waiting for the report from the other side of the river, and at the same time ordered to rescue the remaining soldiers in the river.

As for the corpses, many of them had no injuries on their bodies, but the mouth, nose, eyes and other places bled to death, which was really appalling.

In addition, the Qing army has regulations that if you bring the body of the deceased back, you can get half of his property.

Naturally, there is no shortage of carrying corpses, but some corpses are too fragmented.

The corpse is easy to talk about, no matter how it is arranged, there will be no objection.

The injured may not necessarily be able to obey.

The pain caused by the power of the explosion is not that you shout a few commands, and he will stop the pain and make a fuss.

Piangu naturally told soldiers to treat wounded soldiers well, so as not to cause confusion in the army.

If they are not even willing to take care of the wounded, then before the next battle, everyone will be afraid of being injured, so they will not dare to work hard.

"Eh, these seven or eight people are seriously injured, and I'm afraid they won't survive."

Pian Gu waved his hand to signal him not to say anything, he had to take it away anyway, at worst it would be left behind.

After the Qing army advanced ten miles, they sent someone back to report, but the hammer bandits were not found.

Pian Gu hesitated for a while, then ordered to cross the Shahe in batches immediately.

The distance of ten miles, even if the Hammer Bandit had an ambush, was enough for his soldiers to respond.

The vanguard of the Qing army continued to explore.

Piangu sent people to cast eyeliner everywhere, lest he would fall into the tricks of the hammer bandits.

There were less than forty miles left.

Du Xingwen stood on the hillside and watched carefully with a telescope.

The sentry cavalry of the Qing army were cautious.

bang bang.

There were a few gunshots.

The Qing army fell off their horses, or their horses were shot and wailed.

After the hammer bandit soldier fired a shot, he hit his horse and left.

There are soldiers of the Qing army struggling to catch up behind.

Another burst of firecrackers greeted.

More than a dozen Qing troops fell off their horses, causing the Qing troops behind to rein in one after another, turn their horses' heads, and retreat to avoid falling into the encirclement of the hammer bandits.

"It's very cautious." Du Xingwen spat: "Grandpa wants to see if you can walk this road?"

Pian Gu looked up at the slowly rising sun. He rode a war horse to plan, and just sent someone to Changping City to ask the county king to prepare early.

A scout came riding on horseback and shouted loudly:
"Eh, the vanguard of our army was ambushed by hammer bandits."

Pian Gu frowned: "How much did our army lose, and how many hammer bandits showed up?"

"Hui Erzhen, our army has lost more than [-] people.

It is estimated that there are hundreds of hammer bandits, and the firecrackers are densely packed, it does not look like 30 people. "

"Hammer bandits with hundreds of people want to stop us?"

Pian Gu drew out his sword and yelled at his soldiers:

"I am invincible in the Qing Dynasty, follow me forward and kill the hammer bandits. If you kill a hammer bandit, you will be rewarded ten taels of silver!"

The Qing army was overjoyed when they heard the messenger tell Gu Shane's true order.

Many Qing soldiers yelled, no matter what, no one would dislike the money they earned.

What happened to the Hammer Bandit's reputation?
As long as you have money to earn, you will kill the generals of the Ming Dynasty, let alone the tough hammer bandits.

Seeing that the morale is available, it is to deploy a Jiala as a forward.Ask Jia Lazhangjing to continue assigning a Niulu as a sentry, and if they are attacked, immediately pester them.

As long as he eats up the blocking army of the hammer bandits, let's see what other moves He Jinzhao can use?

Zhenghongqi Niulu Zhangjing Suoguto got the order, and led his men on horseback all the way to the place where the hammer bandits were ambushing.

Going forward, apart from the fallen horses, there are still a few headless corpses and a person with a complete body.

Don't think about it, the head was destined to be cut off by the hammer bandits.

This is a humiliation to the soldiers of the Qing Dynasty!

Suoguto was furious and ordered someone to come forward to collect the soldiers' corpses.

A dozen or so Qing soldiers dismounted and stepped forward to drag them away.

The head is gone, even if it is taken home, if they don't admit it, it will be a waste of hard work.

Especially in this hot weather, what would the body look like if it rotted.

Just as several people were scrambling to move the Qing army soldier whose body was intact, an explosion occurred.

Seven or eight Qing troops were affected, and the lucky ones died immediately, and the unfortunate ones suffered various injuries when they encountered an explosion.

Suoguto's eyes widened when he saw this scene. He never expected that the hammer bandits would be so cunning that they used the corpses of Qing warriors as cover.

Really insidious, shameless!
In short, he was able to greet the hammer bandit with all the bad words he could think of, and it also made him cautious.

It's easier to get mentally disturbed by the things that don't know when to explode, arranged by the hammer gangsters.

Just because of the tragedy of the Qing soldiers being bombed, more Qing soldiers became terrified.

When they fought against the Ming army, they never had such worries and concerns.

But now fighting against the hammer bandits, the main force has not met yet.

They couldn't adapt to the troubles created by such a small army.

Can't see, can't touch, who knows how to defend!

　Thanks to the sponsorship of Xinghuan Shenkong 500 taels of silver, now it is not burning, fast forward to the daily practice of swallowing the knife, and because of the unskilled technique, the pain pierces through the lungs and goes straight to the back.
