Beiyang new warlord

"Send someone to recruit you to surrender! Tell that handsome young man that as long as he is willing to surrender, Ben Khan will directly promote him to be the commander-in-chief. Not bad!"

"Sweat!"

Mang Gurtai was extremely unwilling. Twice, his Zhenglan Banner suffered heavy casualties in the hands of Mao Jue. Now Zhenglan Banner has even been reduced to the weakest flag. But with Huang Taiji's surrender, he probably couldn't touch Mao Jue, so he could only stare blankly. It's strange that he has a temper.

"That Ben Khan gave you an hour to go down and kill that Mao Jue?"

Mang Gurtai couldn't help but choke again at Huang Taiji's teasing words, this shot almost killed him, how about going on?It is not certain who will kill who!

"Master Mangurtai, even if Mao Jue surrenders, he is still a slave of our Aixinjueluo family, isn't he?"

In the back, Fan Wencheng bent down and smiled flatteringly again, Mang Gurtai finally fell silent, and smiled with satisfaction, Huang Taiji gestured at Fan Wencheng.

"Choose one of the generals captured in the afternoon and let him go"

Before he finished speaking, Huang Taiji suddenly felt his ears itching violently. The next second, Mang Gurtai squatted down with his head in his arms. Before he could figure it out, there were four Something with a tail of black smoke and dust passed over his head, and smashed hard on the Jianzhou army in the trench behind him, and that place was actually his greatest effort, the artillery formation!

A large number of screams filled the air. The gunners of the Han army were beaten to death by shrapnel, and lay down on the edge of the artillery array. Some had their hands and legs broken, rolling and wailing. The halo of Mao Jue's protagonist seemed to finally light up once, a hot coal jumped into the gunpowder pile, and in an instant, a series of big explosions bloomed in the trench like a flower, and a human thigh ran straight towards Huang Taiji Smash it over.

"Protect the Khan!"

I almost went crazy from fright, Fan Wencheng was a vicious dog rushing to block the stinky feet that almost offended Longyan, those slobbers also came up and gathered beside Huang Taiji, looking back in astonishment, the biggest hero in Liaodong couldn't help it Zhu repeatedly shook his head.

"Crazy! What a crazy!"

Chapter 123. There is no retreat

"Fire! Fire!"

At this moment, Mao Jue seemed to be possessed by Li Yunlong, shaking his arms at the top of his voice, and the four "Italian cannons" were also powerful, shooting one after another in the ditch of Jiannu.

Regardless of the disparity in the number of cannons, Mao Jue's cannons seemed to have eyes, and they disabled the opposing artillery formation in a few rounds. On the one hand, Mao Jue had done his homework and knew the general location. On the other hand, Mao Jue's gunners were all After training, the gunner basically knows how high the gun angle is, how far it can hit, where the scale corresponds to on the gun mount, and where the landing point is.

Looking back at Houjin, they have cannons, but how to use them is still in the primitive stage. Put the cannon barrels on the sandbags, and hit wherever it goes. It is always beneficial to bombard the Ming army town at close range, and it can hit targets several miles away. It is difficult.

In the Opium War, it was actually the first time that the British army used the breech-loading Armstrong gun, which was still an experimental product. After that, all the front-loading guns were used. In fact, they were not much more advanced than the Qing army, but they were able to hit Qing army forts and Qing army cannons just couldn't hit the British fleet at sea.

It's almost the same now, a series of explosions sounded in the trench one after another. As early as the third cannon ignited the explosive barrel, the artillery formation was already paralyzed, but it was still as if venting, Mao Jue screamed non-stop , The artillery fire also did not listen.

"Fire! Why did it stop?"

"Going back to Lord General, there are only a few tens of thousands of enemies left. Didn't you tell me to stay?"

Xiao Chunzi's words woke Mao Jue to his senses. Seeing the four cannons on the cannon stand still emitting black smoke, he also had a complicated expression on his face. He sighed and turned his head with difficulty. He waved his hand.

"Blow them up!"

There were a few roars from the rear team. At this time, Mao Jue had arrived at the front army, and the night was already dark. In the trench, the lying Ming army was waiting quietly like a crucian carp crossing the river.

However, Mao Jue was staying with the [-] logistical footmen. In front of him, more than [-] fires were burning at the end, and some soldiers with bloody bandages on their bodies were also staying there with a look on their faces. A little depressed, but also a little grateful to look at Mao Jue.

"Desperately leave it to the general. We will open the Jiannu's trench in a while. You just run to the other side of the river. There must be a Jiannu floating bridge. As for what happens behind you, you don't need to worry about it!"

"But one thing, the ashes you are carrying and the soldiers you are carrying are all my brothers! If I go back alive, you throw them away! I will beat you to the ends of the earth, do you hear me clearly?"

"Don't worry, General, we won't let the soldiers lose a hair even if we die!"

There is no need to be used as cannon fodder, and Mao Jue is extremely generous to his subordinates. During the days of combat, the food is similar to that of regular soldiers, and there is still a tael of silver to take. Mao Jue's kindness made the guards prepare soldiers in order He clasped his fists and agreed.

Especially those wounded soldiers in the afternoon, a wounded soldier under Tian Tao's command even pushed away the backup soldiers who were supporting him, limped to the front, and knelt down on the ground suddenly.

"General, the little one can still fight! Let the little one fight side by side with you, General!"

"Fuck off!"

Mao Jue waved his hand angrily: "I don't necessarily die. If you die like this, I will lose money? Next time! Next time! If you are fine next time, you have to fight for me if you don't work hard! Now for me Go back, why are you still standing there, hold him by the arm!"

Mao Jue spoke one after another, and the soldiers who scolded him panicked and dragged the stout man back. Seeing the figure of Mao Jue rushing forward with a dozen bodyguards around him, the 100 Each of the wounded soldiers had wet eyes.

May I ask in this era, which general would care about the wounded soldiers so much, and even ignore the dead soldiers who died on the battlefield. How long did the hundreds of thousands of soldiers die in the wilderness in the Battle of Sarhu?Even in Mao Jue's era, piles of bones were dug up when the reservoir was built, and it was worth dying to follow such a general.

There was no time to be sensational. At this time, the sky was already dark, and the shelling had stopped for about ten minutes. From here to the Jiannu camp, there was only a smooth road except for the corpses of Jiannu. Finally, I used my precious binoculars Looking to the southeast, there was no trace of Jiannu killing back in the pitch blackness. Gritting his teeth, Mao Jue waved his hand violently, and the Ming soldiers who had been lying in the ditch for a long time, who had been restless for a long time, climbed out of the ditch one after another like they were being amnesty. The waist wanted to sneak forward in a hurry.

The more it is at this time, the more you can’t be anxious! On the ditch of Jiannu in the distance, the Eight Banners braided soldiers are still walking around in a panic. Mao Jue’s protagonist’s halo seems to flicker again at this time, and I don’t know if it’s dark Or maybe these guys were so arrogant that they were not discovered by these Jiannu until Mao Jue's corps arrived tens of meters away from the trench. Jiannu, who were busy putting out the fire and didn't know what to do, shouted in Manchu in horror.

"Hawala, Niulu Minta! (Ming Army! Archery!)"

Climbing on the mound of the trench, Jiannu opened their bows and arrows one by one in a panic. Unfortunately, it was too late, and the benefits of the flintlock guns were revealed. Without a matching match, they could not see the position of the Ming army at all, and then the campfire behind them , the Ming army saw them clearly.

Suddenly stopped, facing the messy bows and arrows, Wen Meng picked up the flintlock gun, grinned and slammed the trigger. In an instant, countless gunfire crackled in the darkness. Trembling, screaming and falling off the wall.

"We are Liaodong cavalry! It's time for us to perform!"

After a wave of gunfire, loud and clear roars rang out in the army formation, but this one was so contemptuous that he couldn't lift his head up. Wu Sangui's Guan Ning cavalry had long been unable to hold back. Amid the rhythmic neighing of the war horses, more than 100 soldiers The Wu family's army roared and launched the first wave of attack on the earth wall.

The earth wall is not high, but it is enough to hinder the horses. Taking advantage of the gap between the Jianzhou garrison on the top of the wall, these one hundred men ran to the wall, stepped on the saddle and jumped on it. A few sharp arrows shot down by Jiannu were shot down the wall screaming, and more jumped up, slashing left and right with their knives. Jiannu who had just caught up with the wall was still holding Bow, was caught off guard.

It was Wu Sangui again, a two-handed sword with a short handle made him turn around like a scythe of death, he chopped off his head first, then turned around with a roundabout, and the two Liaodong bows were cut in two, followed by another straight sword It was cut on the horizontal knife in front of the chest armor of a Jiannu Niu Luzhen. The man's eyes were full of fear, and the two of them rushed down the slope screaming together, and hit a haystack in the Jiannu barracks below, with a click. In the knife-drawing pose, blood sprayed Wu Sangui's handsome face all over, making him look like a hell Shura in an instant.

At this time, the Mao Jue Corps also strode to the edge of the earthen wall, and more and more Ming troops climbed to the top of the wall. The first section of the Houjin trench, which was out of reach of more than 5 Ming troops, was just captured by Dongjiang. up.

"Old man, tell your subordinates to take out the ammunition and gunpowder, Pang Dahai! You take the eighth and ninth whistle and go north along the wall, and let me shoot him coldly! Tian Tao, you don't need anything No matter, take your soldiers and horses and burn them for Lao Tzu! For the rest, follow Lao Tzu and go straight to his Huang Taiji Central Army!"

Huang Taiji thought that Mao Jue was crazy, but he couldn't be more sober. Although he didn't know how many Jiannu people were left, his two thousand five or six soldiers were all personal soldiers, so he dared to fight! And the fight was at night.

This is not to see who has more soldiers and who has stronger organizational skills, whoever wins! Amidst Mao Jue's shouts, Tian Tao's guerrilla troops holding torches were stained with cooking oil, and there were people directly from Jiannu There, kerosene was poured everywhere, and the raging fire immediately burned half of the sky red. Many unprepared slave soldiers ran out of their tents screaming. Under such conditions, it also began to become chaotic.

Leading the men and horses on a rampage, Mao Jue didn't care about the chaotic soldiers around him, just kept rushing forward, the Eight Banners soldiers who didn't have eyes to block the front would be unlucky, the bayonet saw red, and they were desperate, holding the flintlock , the murderous soldier was red-eyed and rushed forward desperately, and the Jiannu who lacked organization and resistance collapsed wave after wave.

After killing for a long time, under the light of a fire, Mao Jue couldn't help laughing when he saw the flag hanging limply, no wonder it was so smooth, old acquaintance! It's the blue flag!

The first trench was only about a hundred meters apart, and the fire burned across it like a fire dragon, but Mao Jue quickly reached the second checkpoint. This time, just a dozen soldiers rushed up, but immediately died He was shot into a hedgehog by the archers on the gap in the trench and fell in a pool of blood screaming.

This time I also saw the rightful owner, the golden yellow flag hung high behind, and the sweats in golden cotton armor were yelling at each other with their bows and arrows. , The cavalry and heavy armored infantry who came from a distance rushed towards the howlers on the left and right ribs in two teams.

"Master, you just go forward, the one on the left is handed over to Lao Tian!"

At this time, Tian Tao actually stood up, held up a spiked gun, turned around and shouted excitedly at his soldiers.

"Brothers, 11 years ago, in Liutiaogou, we ran away! We lost our home to Jiannu! But today, the general can kill the leader of Jiannu, so what if I die? Fight against Laozi and kill them! "

I have never realized that this selfish guerrilla general actually had such a brave scene. He took the lead, and his mace actually held the spears of dozens of slave soldiers in the narrow corridor of the barracks, and even picked them up. Pressing backwards, it will be the courage of the soldiers and the bravery of the generals. Those Tian family soldiers rushed into the crowd like a lunatic with a bayonet, even if he was pierced by Jiannu's spear , but also throw out the bayonet and change it.

"Damn it, let a nobody surnamed Tian take the lead! Brothers, what are we? Xi Daying! Mao Shuai's elite! Why are you still standing there, kill them!"

On the right, Kong Youde is still unwilling, and he does not look at all like King Jingnan, the loyal running dog of the Manchu Qing Dynasty in later generations. A big knife wheel passed by, and the four in the front row of Zhenghuang Banner cavalrymen who rushed over roared were all there. It fell down in a horrified scream, and the horse's hoof was dripping with red blood. The old boy had drunk enough wine, but he was also full of courage. He didn't even look at the drunkard. As Guan Gong was alive, he actually marched into the cavalry on foot.

In a trance, Mao Jue seemed to have seen the legendary battle of the Yue family's army in Yancheng, cutting up the cavalry and cutting down the horse's legs. This is the warrior of the great China!
