Be the emperor from the postman

Chapter 899 Landmine Warfare (Two in One)

Not only the middle of the road, but even the hillsides on both sides were buried with landmines.

The Qing army had no chance to go up there.

They had never fought landmine warfare, and those who were bombed were thrown off their feet.

Looking at the screaming soldiers of the Qing army in the distance, Pian Gu looked solemn.

There were only two paths before him.

Or take a long detour, but I don't know if the same is true for the next section.

Once this is the case, it is a waste of a lot of time and energy.

Or just send dead soldiers to rush over to entangle with the hammer bandits.

Before Piangu could make up his mind, Suoguto reported in person.

Ask the army to rest for a while, he has sent people to catch some people around, let them walk in front, so as not to suffer such trauma.

But thanks to the plunder of the Qing army, there are very few people around, and it will take time to arrest people.

"You just said that this thing was buried in the ground?"

"Really, that's right!"

Pian Gu thought for a while, and found a few veteran hunters in the army who were good at seeing through traps to investigate.

As long as they find and mark the newly turned earth pits, they can effectively prevent the army from being trampled when they pass by.

Jurchen are fishermen and hunters, so they are very good at identifying traps.

But with their army expansion, many soldiers of the Qing army lost this skill.

A dozen or so old hunters or Qing soldiers from the Orion family were quickly summoned and asked them to go find the way.

At the same time, Piangu also asked people to go to another road to explore the way, and they couldn't sit still anyway.

Today's noon is the meeting time agreed with King Wuying. If there is a long delay, it will inevitably fall into the schemes of the hammer bandits.

Bushunda is an old hunter who has also fought for many years.

When crossing the river today, he also saw the miserable image of Pioneer.

After the Zhenglan Banner soldiers of Datong Mansion fled back, they also heard about the landmines.

Gu Shan'er really asked him to identify these traps. To be honest, Bushunda was quite flustered.

Because of this kind of hostility, he has never dealt with it!

But with the military order in hand, he could only bite the bullet and lead the temporarily assembled people to explore the way.

When they walked past the corpses of the Qing soldiers who were killed by the bombing, they all had ugly expressions on their faces.

Just for a while, mosquitoes and flies have been flying freely around the corpse fragments along with the smell of dirty blood.

Bushunda shook off the hot sweat on his cheeks to wake himself up:
"We must be careful this time. As long as there is a newly dug hole, there will definitely be traces. If it is difficult to judge, ask me to confirm it. It will spread out in a while. Let me deal with it first."

"Yes."

Bushunda led the Qing army across the headless corpse, looked at the blackened earth pit, and then looked at the land ahead.

He asked someone to break a branch, held it in his hand, and carefully swept away the floating dirt, even blowing on it with his mouth.

Finally, something that looked like a dug hole was leaked out, Bushunda heaved a sigh of relief, he was sure that something that could explode was buried inside.

After a stick of incense, he finally cleaned up the area and determined the size.

He, an old hunter, naturally wanted to be safe, and didn't want to be killed just like that.

At this time, his face was already ashamed, and his face was covered in streaks of mud.

His mouth was dry, his mouth was full of dirt, and he yelled that there were landmines here.

Soguto hurried up, wiping the hot sweat from his brow: "It took so long to find one?"

"Zhang Jing, we all know that if we are not careful, it will explode directly. How dare we use force?"

Soguto squatted down and looked at the circle of traces:

"How can the army pass by quickly, and everyone pay attention not to step on it?"

"Pile up broken stones."

"too slow."

"Did Zhang Jing find someone to come?"

Suoguto heard that he could only let them do this for the time being, and wait until some Han people were captured to go to the mines, so that their army could pass through.

After Pian Gu got the news, his face was tangled.

It takes an incense stick of time to delineate the scope of a mine, if they planted many mines on this road.

That may not be able to finish the search today, even if the search is over, the army will have to go over cautiously.

But when he heard from the side that it was enough to recruit Han people to advance, Pian Gu became more patient.

Du Xingwen continued to observe with a telescope: "Sure enough, there are two brushes."

"Captain, let's just watch, they will find out the location of our mines one by one?"

"Look for it." Du Xingwen half-closed his eyes:

"We're just here to delay the time and stop the enemy army slowly. If they want to look for them, they can look for them. Not all of them are true."

The Qing army who came to fight back against the hammer bandits fell into the passive of finding landmines.

The Qing army in Changping City had already made preparations.

The people at the gate of the city cried and howled, shouting that I am from the Qing Dynasty, you can't treat me like this.

Faced with these cries, Azig on the city wall only felt noisy, so he told the soldiers under his command to shut up.

Whoever dares to speak out will be killed directly.

After several arms were cut off, many gentry and their domestic slaves were shocked.

"Your Majesty, it's almost noon."

Hearing Ta Zhan's reminder, Azig cautiously leaned out to observe the outside.

I have to say, this is such a morning.

He was deeply impressed by the accuracy of the Hammer Bandit's artillery.

On weekdays, he believed in his bravery, whether it was the knife in his hand or the arrow in his waist.

But Hammer Bandit's artillery also taught him a lesson.

Just like he can shoot arrows accurately, as long as the Hammer bandit soldiers dare to approach the city wall for a hundred steps or so, he is sure to kill them with one arrow.

But the Hammer Bandit's artillery has a longer range than his, and the key point is that it can shoot accurately, which really makes him unable to compare, and he feels frustrated.

This made Azig feel that Dege was besieged by hammer bandits back then, and he was also helpless?
Now Azig is counting on the arrival of reinforcements outside the city to attract the attention of the hammer bandits, and then he will drive the people in the city to go to the mines.

Finally, the leader kills out!

Before the last step, Azig was not willing to let his own people suffer heavy casualties.

He has always believed that he has superior forces in his hands.

But over time, that's when the flagpole's shadow becomes the shortest.Azig still didn't see Piangu's men and horses appearing outside.

Even the sound of cannons still sounded from time to time in other directions.

There is no trace of Piangu.

Azig stared at the shadow of the flagpole for a full moment, and it began to grow slowly. His face was full of anger, and he wanted to send people out of the city to fight the hammer bandits to the death.

Ta Zhan repeatedly asked people to check whether it was past noon, but because the soldiers were rushing back and forth, the hammer bandits fired a cannon here, resulting in the death of the messenger.

Everyone hurriedly ran down the city to protect Azig.

"Your Majesty, bypass me, bypass me!" The gentry on the side hastily begged for mercy:

"I was born as a member of Daqing, and died as a ghost of Daqing. I am loyal to Daqing!"

Azig was in a bad mood, seeing someone bothering him, he wished he could kill him with a knife.

"Your Majesty, don't be in a hurry." Ah Shan comforted him from the side: "It's impossible for the hammer bandits not to send troops to stop them.

In my opinion, drive them out of the city to go to landmines first, and then attack from all directions when the reinforcements come back. "

Azige stared at Ah Shan, then sheathed his knife, "Just do as you say!"

"Yes."

Ah Shan asked people to instruct these Han people to run as fast as they let them go, or else King Wuying returned and killed you all.

The ones outside are the Ming army who rescued you, and they asked for your release.

These people who have been tricked are naturally grateful to Ah Shan and others.

As the gates of the city were opened and the Qing army set up a suspension bridge for them, a large group of Han people ran out of the city frantically.

He Jinzhao listened to the news sent by Du Xingwen, and the progress was going well, and the Qing army had been dragged down by him with the ecstasy array.

"Marshal, the gate of Changping City has opened."

He Jinzhao just stood up and walked a few steps quickly.

He stopped in front of the mound and took out his binoculars to watch carefully.

Most of the people surrounded a few luxuriously dressed people and trotted out of the city.

"Marshal?" Niu Youcai asked softly, "Are you still firing?"

"There is no need to ask this kind of question a second time." He Jinzhao said with a telescope, "According to the original plan."

"Yes."

At the gate of the city, the Qing army shot and killed those who ran slowly.

"Hurry up, the slowest three will die!"

Ah Shan ordered people to yell and urge him from behind.

As long as they run faster, they can better destroy the arrangement of the hammer bandits.

Hearing such a threat, many servants dragged the masters and wives forward with big strides, and some even passed them and continued to run.

Bang.

With the sound of a cannon, lead bullets hit them in an instant, making them cry for their fathers and mothers.

"Don't fight, don't fight, my son is the prefect of Shunde Prefecture."

Accompanied by his roar, and a group of servants yelling that their master is the prefect of Shunde Prefecture.

He Jinzhao picked out his ears and moved away from the cannon.

"What the fuck is the magistrate's father, call me."

"Yes, handsome!"

Bang bang bang.

A few shells went down, a large number of servants fell down, and the magistrate's father lay on the ground and scolded the Ming army.

When my son comes back, I will definitely let you stinky mounds go around.

Ah Shan saw that the hammer bandits had no intention of stopping, and this group of Han people could only lie on the ground to hide.

Only one left was frightened and ran around, but was killed by stepping on a landmine, and the rest dared not move.

Azig didn't care about the gentry who begged him for surrender, and He Jinzhao didn't care much, not to mention that these people were not under his rule.

Near the outskirts of Beijing, they are all "fathers" in the Ming circle, who are related to each other!
Some alert servants began to run towards the city, facing the threat of arrows.

Azig urged Ah Shan to continue to drive those Han people in to step on landmines.

If they don't step on it, they will turn around and surrender.

Ah Shan didn't care about anything, and started mobilizing archers. He couldn't shoot the hammer bandits, so he couldn't shoot you at this distance?

"run!"

There was shelling by the hammer bandits before, and then there was archery by the Qing army. In short, for their own interests, neither side wanted to keep these people alive.

War is not a soft-hearted thing.

After so many years of fighting, they have seen too many deaths, whether it is the enemy or their own.

Most people don't even care about their own life and death, let alone the life and death of others.

As time went by, fewer and fewer people survived on this battlefield. Some people would rather pretend to be dead and get shot by the Qing army than be blown to pieces.

Azig's expression became more and more unhappy. After a while, the Hammer Bandit's cannons stopped firing.

Piangu hasn't come yet!

"problem occurs."

As a battlefield veteran, Azig quickly made a judgment.

Piangu is also a battle-tested battle, since the arrangement was made early, the designated party will try its best to come to the reconciliation.

Now that they didn't show up, it meant that they were in trouble.

"Jun Wang, shall we rush out and kill a wave now?"

Ta Zhan is not afraid of the hammer bandits outside the city, he also has to avenge his father Yang Guli.

So what if there are mines outside the city?
When Dajin attacked the city back then, they deliberately recruited dead soldiers. Now that it is the Qing Dynasty, there are many dead soldiers.

"Stay until dark."

Azig made up his mind, since the cannons of the Hammer Bandits were accurate and fierce, where would they aim as soon as it got dark?
"Call the soldiers to go to battle, select 200 people, and each will be rewarded with five taels of silver. If they come back alive, they will be rewarded with 50 taels of silver. This king will carry them into the flag and tell Chao Pichang to act quickly."

"Yes."

Chao Pichang, the former commander-in-chief of Changping City, surrendered and was assigned by Azig to join the Hammer Bandit camp. At this time, he didn't know that He Jinzhao had already beheaded him.

Just count on them to make trouble.

Under the heavy reward, there must be a brave man, 50 taels of silver is still very attractive.

Especially if you don't work and pay five taels of silver first, it really gives Daming a different feeling when he surrenders his soldiers.

The hammer bandits are already eating in rotation.

He Jinzhao held his job bowl and listened to Zhang Fuzhen's analysis:
"My lord, Azig in the city is certainly not someone who just sits and waits to die. If he makes a bold move, we're afraid it will be difficult for us to stop them from leaving."

"I didn't expect to block them here." He Jinzhao swallowed the food in his mouth:
"It's just that at the moment when they break through, bite off as many pieces of their meat as possible.

In the minds of the Qing army, I engraved the image of me as a hammer bandit who is not easy to mess with, and if they fight with us in the future, they will have to be ashamed! "

Zhang Fuzhen nodded slightly, his lord is very sober, and now he is so close to the capital.

I don't know what the dog emperor in the capital thinks again?
Facing the situation in front of him, he might still be kept in the dark!
Uncle Jingliao Wu Guojun, whom he had placed high hopes on, listened to his orders on the surface, but secretly he was doing things for his lord.

When Du Xingwen stopped and delayed on the road, Wu Guojun must obediently go to bite the Qing army's ass, and it is best to attack them at night.

Thinking of this, Zhang Fuzhen reminded again:

"My lord, I suspect that Azig is likely to launch a night attack. When the night is dark, our artillery will lose its target."

He Jinzhao casually pointed at the simple refusal horse on the ground outside the city:
"Those seem to be an interception function, but they are actually a gauge range. The artillery will aim at those ranges before sunset."

Zhang Fuzhen stood up and took a closer look, stroked his beard and smiled:
"My lord, I didn't expect this effect."

He thought it was used to intercept the Qing army to maintain formation and charge, but he didn't expect it to have such a role.

"I just didn't know that Azig could endure it for a few days before he figured out how to launch a night attack!"

Zhang Fuzhen pinched his beard and smiled.

"quickly."

He Jinzhao took a mouthful of food into his mouth:

"Before sunset today, if the Qing army doesn't show up again, Azig will have to suspect that I have wiped out the Qing army, and he won't be able to sleep."
