Bringing Military Supplies to Ming Dynasty

Pola’s words calmed Mazamu. I thought that if I left now, then the great work of destroying the Northern Ming army here might really have nothing to do with me. More importantly, even if he goes back now, he is nothing more than bringing back four thousand cavalry. Facing the mercenaries with powerful battle strength, it will not be of much effect. It would be better to stay and wait to see Hubo. After the sons and adults, ask for reinforcements. This is the way to solve the problem.

“Well, General Pola, I leave it to you, but you have to be careful too.” Mazamu listened to this suggestion. But he didn’t know this difference, it was his eternal formula with Pola. “Please rest assured the army, when I return to the mountain, I will stand guard, and then wait for the general to bring reinforcements.” Without further ado, after Pola finished speaking, he ordered two thousand cavalry to return quickly.

Saihan Mountain is easy to defend and difficult to attack because of its geographical advantages. This once made Mazamu and Baila who guard the mountain confident. All this has been confirmed from the Northern Ming Army’s attack for a long time without any success. But mercenaries are not the Northern Ming army. Such assaults are also a common subject during training. In addition to the intention of unintentional arithmetic, the action is a sneak attack. In addition, two battalions of 800 musketeers were transferred to assist. When the attack was launched on the first day of the first year, the Tatar army guarding the mountain was beaten. Up.

In the dark, the line of sight is limited. I don’t know where the mercenaries will rush up the mountain. If you want to see the enemy, you must raise the torch. But if someone does this, it is tantamount to revealing his position, and the mercenary musketeer will teach him how to behave every minute. Often the torch is turned on, and one is quickly destroyed. After hundreds of Tatar soldiers holding the torch were shot and killed, everyone learned their skills and didn’t mean to reveal their position.

Without the light, this creates an opportunity for the mercenaries of Chongshan. Nowadays, there are soldiers constantly attacking the Xuanshi slope with their outstanding climbing skills, and then straight to the top of Saihan Mountain.

The warning peak smoke on the mountain has been ignited. The picture is to tell Mazamu and the others at the bottom of the mountain that the situation on the mountain is already very critical. If there are no reinforcements, they are afraid that it will be true. Can’t hold it anymore.

On the Xuanshi slope halfway up the mountain, the deputy commander in charge of the battle, Shebye, was watching the soldiers launching waves of small shocks. He looked lazy, as if not. at all regards this battle as an actual battle, rather like watching an exercise game.

This scene fell in the eyes of Lu Zhuo, the commander of the recruits, and he was very puzzled, “Deputy commander, why only launch a small charge? Our recruits are fully capable of launching a full-scale attack. I won Saihan Mountain in one fell swoop.”

“No hurry, no hurry, it’s making some people anxious.” The slow-tuned farewell is not at all anxious, but hehe smiles. Riding on the horse looked towards, the recruits and soldiers launched small shocks in platoons or companies. “By the way, Master Lu, this is a good opportunity for actual combat training. Don’t miss it.”

I don’t know what the idea is in her mind, but this opportunity for actual combat training Lu Zhuo is definitely I won’t let it go, I solemnly nodded at the moment, called a few heads, and instructed them to take this opportunity to organize military training. Once a soldier is found injured, he immediately retreats and replaces him. Anyway, the battle is not very fierce, and there is a chance to do these things.

Don’t rush to leave others, naturally you are waiting for the bait. As he expected, Palla brought two thousand cavalry straight in the direction of Saihan Mountain. In order to achieve the idea of ​​reaching the destination as quickly as possible, this time he couldn’t even wait for the news of the scouts, but sent the scouts out while advancing fast.

Answer the only way from Lucheng to Saihan Mountain, there is a place called the valley crossing the land. When the rainy season comes in the summer here, water will flow into a stream, but it is usually just a ditch, not at all, it’s just one meter deep and about three meters wide.

At this time, there are four musket battalions of the Independent Division of the New First Army in ambush. 1,600 gunshots lay all over the valley, aiming their guns.

Not far away, the sound of horses stepping on the earth was getting closer and closer. Two scouts and cavalry came quickly. When they were 30 metres away, they each made a gesture, and then they turned to the sides. disappeared. It can be seen from the gesture that the enemy is five miles away.

The sound of horseshoes is bursting, and the rushing sound is from far to near, less than two miles away from the valley, through the faint moonlight in the sky, you can already see the faintly moving silhouette from far away Up. The breathing of all the Musketeers involuntarily began to slow down, and their bodies began to relax.

“bang!”

A flares like daylight flickered in mid-air, instantly illuminating the land like daytime. The reinforcements of two thousand Tatars also came into everyone’s sight at this brief moment. Immediately there was a roar of “shooting”, and under the sound of the gunfire, the night was restored to the ground with streamers, accompanied by one after another of the Tatar cavalry silhouettes falling from the horse, and Shier would also make a burst. The screams of the array.

“Kill!”

Just after the gunfire sounded, countless cavalry suddenly appeared on both sides of the valley. The torch one after another in their hands was lit, straight The two thousand Tatar reinforcements that had been hit head-on rushed over.

After the two shootings, the Tatar reinforcements dropped at least 500 corpses, and finally waited for the gunfire to stop, the torch all around reflected their faces. Then bursts of bows and arrows broke through the air and fell into the army, which attracted the fall of hundreds of people.

There were a total of 3,700 cavalrymen from the nine battalions and divisions directly under the ambush. Under the leadership of the division commander Xin Honghai, there were tigers from the mountains facing the Tatar cavalry who had been beaten up. Surrounded, there are bullets in the far arrows, bows and arrows in the vicinity, and sharp sabers at the close. Under the continuous waves of attacks, the Tatar cavalry is in chaos, and every cavalry face is in the photo of the musket. Upon screening, a panic-like expression appeared.

Under the protection of several soldiers, Pella’s face turned pale. At this moment, he knew that he was in the middle of the trick. Seeing this, the mercenaries should have been prepared long ago, and the troops they sent were not strong enough. It will be too little.

I felt the mercenary’s quick response, and at the same time cursed in my heart the uselessness of my scout. The enemy is under his nose, why did he not receive any news? The lack of information in time eventually led to this defeat.

Two thousand reinforcements resisted only a small one hour, including General Pola, who were killed in battle, and only more than 500 soldiers were wounded.

“Clean the battlefield quickly, send the wounded back to Chihkan City with a battalion of men and horses, and send people to inform the deputy commander of Shebye on the mountain that there is a great victory here, and they can take the Saihan Mountain. It’s gone.” The commander Xin Honghai rode on the horse and kept giving instructions. Just after one hour, the general offensive on Saihan Mountain began, and it was not even a moment, and all the enemies were wiped out. Saihan Mountain became one of the areas where Shicheng expanded southward.

In the same dark night, the commander of Wanquandusi Shi Wanshan and the commander Tongzhi Furuhe were under the protection of four hundred elite cavalrymen, swiftly moving towards the direction of Dalu City.

They have been running for a dark night, seeing the sky dimly lit up, their whereabouts were finally discovered by the Tatar scouts, and then they chased and intercepted them all the way.

At this moment, time can be used to describe life. In order to rush out of the encirclement before the main Tatar army appeared, the two generals went through several rushes and killed, and their soldiers were getting fewer and fewer. At the time of the fifth siege, the number of cavalry around him was less than fifty.

Even so, the two generals did not give up the meaning of resisting, and they were still fighting hard, just to be able to return to the city of Dalu alive.

“They are there, surround them, don’t let them escape.” Not far away, there came another two 100-Man Team Tatar patrols, they saw that they were being surrounded The killed Northern Ming army rushed over with all kinds of strange screams.

There are more than one hundred enemies around. This is another two hundred enemy riders. Shi Wanshan suddenly felt the pressure increased. He wielded a saber and kept hacking, and then slashed a Tatar cavalry. After getting off the horse, he wiped the blood off his face and forced a smile to Furukawa who was not far away. “Brother Gu, it seems that we can’t escape.”

“If we can’t get out, we will die. Kill one is enough, kill two to earn one, at worst 18 years later He is a good man.” Furukawa also barely smiled, and then tightened his left arm, which was severely slapped, pressed the bleeding spot, waved his left hand and rushed to the Tatar cavalry five meters away again. .

At this moment, there is no way to distinguish between generals and soldiers. God is very fair, giving everyone only one life. At this moment, either killing the enemy or being killed by the enemy, all conspiracies and tactics are useless.

The saber and the curved horse kept colliding in midair, which attracted bursts of sparks. A quarter of an hour later, the Northern Ming cavalry gave another 40 cavalry, and now there are only ten men who can stand, including the two generals.

Fortunately, after a lot of hard work, I finally broke through a bloody mouth. Without further ado, the two generals rushed out of the encirclement with several wounded soldiers, and then headed towards Dalu City. At this moment, whenever there is a chance, they have to fight for it, even if they die, they don’t want to die on the grassland.

“Chasing.” The remaining two hundred Tatar cavalrymen, seeing the fat in their hands want to fly away, where are they willing to go, one by one galloped towards the back of Shi Wanshan and the others Chase it over. Once the distance is close to 100 meters, a burst of bows and arrows will be fired, and one or two Northern Ming cavalrymen will fall and die.
