Iron blood Suiming

Chapter 161 Raiding Tongyuan Fort

() Then the Lingshan Guards took the opportunity to rush into the house, and shot as soon as they saw vague figures.This method was very effective. By the time Li Kaiguo stepped into Phoenix Fort, the Lingshan Guards were already cleaning up the mess.There are a total of 330 Tartars in the entire Phoenix Fort, and there are [-] Koreans who cook, including two cooks and two Han Chinese.Only [-] Tartars survived, and both Koreans and Han Chinese were killed by the Tartars who could not escape.

All the captured Tartars lost their combat effectiveness and were unable to act. They were already dying when they were dragged in front of Li Jianguo.However, Li Jianguo had no interest in capturing the Tartars. He waved his hand immediately, and the heads of nineteen Tartars were chopped off immediately.

Soldiers from the [-]th household searched quickly, and found that the food stored in Phoenix Fort was only enough to feed three or four hundred soldiers for half a month at most; but there was really a lot of wild game and meat. They basically survive by hunting.

Moreover, there is actually no property in Phoenix Castle, not to mention gold, not even copper coins.The only valuable thing is the more than 30 war horses in the stables.The thousandth household is a bit depressed, don't the Tartars pay the military salary?Even that Niu Lu'e really didn't have any gold or silver treasures on him, or even official documents, only a wooden plaque representing his identity.

No wonder the Tartars went to the Ming Dynasty to rob money, food, and women. It turned out that they were poor and crazy.When the thousandth household said this, Li Kaiguo was looking at the Tartar military map.The map of the Tartars is really crude, and the markings on the map are neither Chinese characters nor Manchu, and may be just a marking text.

Li Jianguo looked at it for a long time, but he didn't understand it. He knew it in his heart, so he really didn't want to kill that Niu Lu forehead.But he killed them all, and Li Jianguo didn't regret it. He threw away the map and said lightly: "Okay, let's search again to see if there are any survivors, and then move out immediately."

The 100th household complied with the order, and it took only a quarter of an hour before the Lingshan Guards continued to move towards Shengjing.Along the way, he swept away thirteen Tartar villages and tribes, and harvested more than [-] war horses.At this time, according to the map of the Koreans, the Lingshan Guards had already reached Mushroom Ridge.

There are deep mountains and dense forests everywhere here. If a large number of scouts had not been released to continuously scout and correct their direction, the Lingshan Guards would have lost their way long ago.Therefore, Li Jianguo didn't dare to take the Lingshan Guards on a night walk, and set up camp as soon as it got dark.

After dinner, the Lingshan guards were very excited. During the day, the battle of Phoenix Fort and the massacre of thirteen villages and tribes made each of them bloody. Although many people shot a Tartar four or five times, but After all, they were also responsible for the killing of the Tartars.

The excitement and the thrill of revenge made the morale of the Lingshan Guards very high. Although the military discipline was strict and they did not dare to speak loudly, their eyebrows fluttered and they gesticulated. They couldn't help but whispered something and then shut up.

Li Jianguo found out that something was wrong in time, and immediately patrolled the camp with a knife. Wherever he went, the wind and sea were immediately calm. Everyone in the Lingshan Guard knew that his master turned his face faster than anything else, and was ruthless. Who would dare to stroke his beard?

On the second day and the third day, the Lingshan Guards slaughtered nearly 50 Tartar villages and tribes in a row, but nothing leaked out. The Tartars had no idea that a 5000-strong Lingshan Guard was approaching Shengjing.

When it was dark on the third day, news came from the scouts that Tongyuan Fort was ten miles ahead. According to the confessions of the Tatars captured along the way, there were about two Manchu soldiers stationed in Tongyuan Fort, the owner of the Xianglan Banner, Jierhalang. Ten oxen and seven hundred war horses.I heard that there are also artillery and muskets, which is a tough nut to crack.Because there were so many Tartars, the scouts were afraid of losing the news, so they didn't dare to get too close, and they were trying to find out the truth.

The [-] Niulu, that is, the [-]-year-old Jin Tartars, got the news, and the [-]th and [-]th households were silent.

Li Jianguo sat in the handsome position, his face remained unchanged, and he said indifferently: "Tell me, how will this battle be fought?"

The first thousand households and the hundred households looked at each other, and said, "My lord, if there are really six thousand soldiers with the Tartars inlaid with blue flags stationed in Tongyuan Fort, it will be a bit difficult. The subordinates want to see for themselves. The situation of Yuanbao, let’s make further calculations.”,

Li Jianguo nodded and said with satisfaction: "Okay, let's go now, I will accompany you to take a look." He pointed to a hundred households and asked him to stick to the barracks, and then took a large number of Lingshan Guard officers to Tong Go to the far castle.

Riding horses at night is no joke. Without Li Kaiguo's night vision eyes to guide the way, the officers would not even know which is south and which is north, let alone find Tongyuan Fort.

Seeing the heroic appearance of the lord on the horse, the officers admired and admired him very much. If there was no such admiration, even if they were afraid of Li Jianguo's cruel methods, they would have to ask Li Jianguo whether to go around, not Li Jianguo If you say hit there, hit there.

After galloping for eight miles, you can't go any further.Because it can be seen from a distance, there are layers of tents outside Tongyuan Fort, all the way to a mile outside the fort.

Li Jianguo and others got off their horses and climbed up a nearby hill in the dark. Fortunately, the moon is still helpful tonight. Although they can't see clearly, they can get a rough look.

Although it was already dark, the camp in front of Tongyuan Fort was still very lively. Li Kaiguo took a look through the binoculars, and it turned out that dozens of bonfires had been set up in the camp, with animals roasting on them.Every time there was a group of people around the bonfire, some of them were wrestling. From time to time, one or two loud shouts could be heard, and occasionally a woman's laughter and screams could be heard.It doesn't look like a military camp, but like a tribe in a carnival.

Li Kaiguo handed the binoculars to the officers, and the thousandth household looked at it and said, "My lord, I think this Tongyuan Fort is similar to Phoenix Fort, and they all look the same. The tartars camping outside the fort must be I can’t live in the castle, so I live outside the castle.”

The other hundred households also nodded, obviously they had the same idea.Only in this way, sneak attack is very easy.But it is extremely difficult not to leak a person.

Therefore, the thousandth household said in a low voice: "My lord, to defeat the Tartars, you can use a surprise attack, and the Tartars in the castle should not be feared, you can use the method of the Phoenix Fort to break the city. The only thing to worry about is that it is impossible not to let go of one person. Once we are exposed I'm afraid that the Tatar army will find us immediately and flee in all directions, we don't have enough numbers to surround all the Tartars." Hundreds of households nodded in agreement.

After the battle of Phoenix Fort, although they remained vigilant against the Tartars, they had a faint feeling that the Tartars were nothing more than that.At this time, an elite soldier with a blue banner was here, and the thousandth and hundredth households actually thought it would be easy to break through....Li Jianguo actually thought it was easy, but if the Ming army found out that they thought so, they would laugh their teeth out.
