Lu Ming

Chapter 447
Although the offensive plan of the cross-traversing crowd is very flexible this time, in any case, Qian'an County, which is the first hurdle, is bound to be taken quickly.

Only by taking this place as soon as possible can the people who travel through can calmly deal with the next situation.

As expected, the Tartars on the top of the city lit the beacon and sent out messengers as soon as they saw the crossing crowd.Now the soldiers and horses of Luanzhou and Yongping must have moved, and Qian Tieshan must end the battle as soon as possible.

Therefore, if Hutto could not come out of the city to fight, it would not affect the ending of his imminent destruction-at most half an hour later, when Qian Tieshan found that the Tartars could not defend, he would order a strong attack.

There is no technical difficulty in storming, whether it is a suspension bridge or a city gate, it will not work when passing through the crowd.

The reason why they don't want to attack by force is because once they start fighting inside the county, the scene will easily become chaotic, the city will easily catch fire and burn their own people, and many enemies will flee.

Therefore, it is the best choice to lure out the soldiers and horses defending the city, but if the opponent is really unable to defend, in order to hurry up, they can only attack by force.

The gate of the city opened slowly, and when Heto and Daheren took the lead and rushed out of the gate tower with 380 armored elites, the green-coated army on the opposite side stepped back dozens of steps with shouts?

Heto, who was dressed in iron armor and wearing a classic braided iron helmet, couldn't help laughing when he saw this scene—it was the first time he had encountered a cavalryman who retreated before the fight started.

The retreat of the green jacket army just left the best attacking space for the Tatar cavalry.

Normally, against the Ming army equipped with bird blunderbuss and three-eyed blunderbuss, the Tartar cavalry would charge repeatedly at a safe distance, luring the opponent to fire in advance, and then crush the enemy's formation at once.

This combat mode accompanied the Tatar soldiers all the way from Baishan Heishui to the foot of the capital, and it worked again and again. The Ming army never let everyone down.

Today, the performance of this group of green jacket soldiers has once again refreshed the three views of the uncle under the banner.Heto's current state of mind is like the tiger in Guizhou's donkey. He has completely seen through the weakness and incompetence of his opponent: "Who gave these idiots the courage to come here to tease our men?"

Reining in the horse's reins in the open space in front of the suspension bridge, Hutto looked happily at the silly dog ​​opposite him while waiting for his own cavalry to gather. Three minutes later, the elite Tatar cavalry had formed a regular formation of cavalry behind Heto, and the two armies faced each other far away.

Due to the opponent's retreat just now, the Tartars had room to turn around and repeat.The distance between the two armies is now 150 meters, and the Tatar cavalry can rush to a safe distance of 70 meters and play tricks to lure the opponent to fire.

The next moment, Hutto drew out his saber, raised his arms high, and drew three circles counterclockwise in the air.The more than 300 Tatar soldiers who had been cooperating for many years understood this moment, and together they held their sabers and began to urge their horses forward.

The rumble of approaching horseshoes accompanied by strange screams, coupled with these bloody and murderous Tatar soldiers, the atmosphere on the battlefield was indeed raised to an extremely tense level.

Heto, who was at the forefront, had already run 50 meters away.As he expected, the soldiers on horseback on the opposite side began to raise their guns.

Hutto was absolutely sure that when he rushed forward another 30 to [-] meters, the opponent would shoot—first one or two scumbags who couldn't hold their urine would fire, and then everyone would pull the trigger.

For Heto, who was wearing heavy armor, even at a distance of 50 meters, these sub-drugs would only hurt at most, and would not cause substantial damage to him.

So he swung his saber vigorously, roared loudly, and tried his best to create an aura of charging forward.But in fact, the rein in his hand did not relax, and the horse under his crotch would turn and move sideways under his control at any time, crossing the front of the opponent's formation.

The next moment, Hutto rushed to a distance of 70 meters, and there was still a distance of 80 meters between the two sides.

At the same time, the gunners on the opposite side fired two volleys in unison.

Seeing the neat white smoke coming out of the formation, Heto grinned: As expected, these cowards from the south are far worse than the frontier soldiers, and they opened fire at such a distance.

Then he flew up.

Hutto was the most eye-catching when charging, so he was shot four times in the first place.After the huge impact was evenly distributed by the iron armor, his buttocks were pushed back, blood was pouring out of his mouth, and he flew straight up on the horse.

At this moment, time becomes extremely slow.Heto flew in the air, first glanced at the severed arm flying beside him in surprise, and then he saw the stream of fire sprayed out from the hands of those pied-clothed auxiliary soldiers in the corner of the opponent's formation.

Finally, when Heto slammed heavily on the corpse behind him, spurting blood from his mouth, and looking up at the starry sky, a thought crossed his mind: It turned out that this group of people retreated to prevent us from escaping back.
Starting from Tianjin, after walking through the plain for two hundred miles, the upper left corner is the capital city.If you go straight to the north, you will pass through a section of Yanshan Mountain, and you will be Santunying.

If you go to the upper right corner and pass through the plains around Tangshan, you will go around to Luan County below Qian'an.

In the Ming Dynasty, Luan County was called Luanzhou, and the city got its name from the Luan River.

Since Luanzhou blocked the main roads from the North China Plain to the cities of Qian'an and Yongping, the geographical location is more important. When the crossing crowd launched an attack, more than 800 Tatar soldiers gathered in Luanzhou city.

Early this morning, when the city of Luanzhou saw the smoke billowing up in the northern sky, the Xianglan Banner Jiala Erzhen Namutai, who was in charge of the defense, immediately began to gather troops and horses, opened the north gate and went to reinforce Qian'an.

Namutai fought bravely and executed orders without compromise. From another perspective, he was a bit stubborn.

In history, when Sun Chengzong led his troops to recapture the cities of Zunhua Qian'an and Yongping, there was a formal exchange of fire between the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and the only thing the Ming army gained was in Luanzhou.

At that time, the Tartar soldiers in Luanzhou City, under the command of Namutai, once opened up their posture and defended the city for three days.

Amin learned that Luanzhou was besieged in Yongping, so he sent general Baduli to lead hundreds of troops to help, and at the same time withdrew the guards in Qian'an and other places to Yongping.

After the Ming army drove away Baduli's reinforcements, they began to bombard Luanzhou City with Hongyi cannons.The guard Namutai felt unable to hold on after three days, and finally abandoned the city, and his troops dispersed to Yongping.

On the way to escape, Namutai's men were intercepted by the Ming army Ma Rulong, losing more than [-] people.Then Amin ordered the entire line to retreat out of Shanhaiguan and return to Shenyang. The Ming army recovered Luanzhou and other four cities.

That is to say, in the so-called "Zunyong Great Victory" in history, Sun Chengzong mobilized an army of 10,000+ King Qin to attack the four cities, but Amin calmly withdrew his troops and slaughtered Yongping at the end. Only the 400 people who were intercepted were dispersed.

In short, Comrade Namutai fought bravely and went straight, which is not discounted.

In history, after the Ming army attacked, he could persist in defending the city for three days. Then, after traveling through the plane of the masses and seeing the smoke from Qian'an, he also didn't think too much, and immediately called the city to defend the city. Half of the soldiers and horses went out of the city to rescue.

It didn't take long for a 400-man cavalry team to reach Qian'an, because the distance between the two sides was only more than fifty miles.

At this point in time, it was the time when Hutto unified his thoughts with his subordinates on the tower and prepared to go down and fight with the crossing crowd.

However, Namutai's reinforcements were forced to suspend just fifteen miles out of the city.

The reinforcements walked along the official road. At first, they went smoothly without encountering any obstacles, but as they were walking, Namutai suddenly saw that the front team had stopped moving.Then when he urged his horse to the front of the team and pushed aside his subordinates who were crowded into a large circle, he couldn't help but sucked in a breath of cold air.

On the official road in front of Namutai, at some point someone used sharp wooden stakes to tie a circle around his horse.The workmanship of this circle is very rough, that is, some branches have been cut and sharpened and inserted into the soil. The color on the branches is still very fresh, and it has not been more than an hour.

Ordinarily, one or two people can pull out all the branches of this kind of shoddy horse, but there is something strange among the horses-a wooden stake half a person's height is erected, and a two-foot-high wooden stake is placed on top of it. A square iron box.

After seeing this scene, Namutai immediately began to look around.The matter is not based on the horses themselves: since someone has set up this strange formation on the official road, it is to stop the cavalry.So Namutai quickly scanned to see if there was any terrain suitable for an ambush nearby.

In the end, there was nothing - in Namutai's sight, except for a forest 300 meters away, the rest was a flat river.

And this forest is so small that it can't even hide 100 people, let alone an army that can eat [-] Manchu soldiers in an ambush.

So after looking around, Namutai focused his attention again: "Tear down the horse."

Someone at the side heard the sound and got off the horse. After getting up, he easily kicked and threw the circle of pointed wooden poles that were carelessly inserted into the soil, which could not even be called according to the horse, by the side of the road.

"Bring the box here, don't open it."

After hearing the sound, his subordinates walked around the wooden post first, and after finding no mechanism, they stretched out their arms, and "lifted" the dark green iron from the wooden post with some difficulty under the eyes of everyone. The box—there is a handle on the box, just enough to carry it.

"Daniu Lu, there is something in this box, it is estimated to be bricks and stones, and it has some weight."

Sitting on the horse, Namutai did not answer, but raised his hands slightly, signaling his subordinates to raise the box, and then began to study the box in front of him carefully.

The dark green iron box is square, shining with a strange metallic luster.On the side facing Namutai, there are some ghostly symbols painted on with white paint, just like the chalk symbols painted on the foreheads and faces by warriors before going out to battle.

After Namutai took a closer look, he found that he didn't recognize any of these symbols, including the three letters "USA" in uppercase, which he couldn't understand at all.

Namutai still didn't touch the monster, but shook his finger, signaling his subordinates to turn the box around.

On the other side of the box, there were still ghost symbols. Namutai leaned slightly on the horse at this time, with his cheek close to the box, staring at the three letters "TNT" and frowning as he recalled.

The next moment, the box exploded.

It contained a full twenty pounds of TNT, the American standard.
