I, the Ming Dynasty, can still save me

Chapter 144 The South Bank of the Hun River (please subscribe)

Hearing this question, He Shixian coughed slightly to hide his embarrassment, waved his hand and asked He Xiong to stand up and look towards the Jianlu camp.

However, they saw a crowd of people outside the Jianlu camp. Elites such as Xianglan and Xiangbaiqi were already ready. They were waiting for He Xiong and others to catch up and immediately sent out troops to encircle them.

"The battle situation this time has been very good. Your bravery has greatly reduced their morale. I expect they will think twice before attacking again. Now we are waiting for the imperial army to arrive."

Seeing that He Xiong understood the whole story, Yang Lian immediately felt relieved.He Shixian was frightened when he saw this scene just now. If he attacked rashly, he was afraid that he would be surrounded at this time, and he complained less about Yang Lian.

"Yes, it's enough to defeat the enemy in the first battle. Don't engage in a trade war. If you fall into the trap of Jianlu, the gain outweighs the loss."

On the other side, outside the Houjin camp, Amin looked at the Ming army servants who had withdrawn their troops in Ming Jin, and felt full of regret. Why did they suddenly change their temper and be so careful now? We can gather the wounded, regroup, and wait for the opportunity.

But before he could take a break to respond, a messenger came on horseback to deliver military orders.

"Khan's military order states that the reinforcements of the Ming Dynasty have arrived at the south bank of the Hunhe River Bridge. They are now going to cross the river to Shenyang. Mang Gurtai is ordered to be the commander-in-chief, and Amin is the deputy commander-in-chief. They will lead Xianglan, Zhenglan, Xiangbai, Zhenghuang and Xiang More than [-] people from the Huangwu Banner attacked it and surrounded and annihilated the Ming reinforcements on the south bank of the Hun River. There must be no mistake."

The reinforcements from the Ming Dynasty arrived. Amin, who knew the news, couldn't help but look towards the Hunhe River Bridge, but the distance was too far and he couldn't see the Ming army. He could only order Xianglan and Xiangbai to quickly meet up with Mang Gurtai. , besieging the Ming army.

Hunhe Bridge is a stone arch bridge located at Erli in the south of Shenyang City. It is the only passage through the Hunhe River from the south of Shenyang.

The Jianlu soldiers were also encamped on the south bank of the Hun River. Originally, they had to cross the Hun River Bridge to attack the city, but now the Hun River was frozen, allowing the Jianlu soldiers to come and go freely on it, saving a lot of energy.

Nurhachi also knew that the Ming army reinforcements would come, so he sent out rangers to conduct reconnaissance early. His previous plan was to encircle the points for reinforcements and pretend to attack Shenyang first. Jianlu led his troops to prepare in the camp early. As soon as the Ming reinforcements arrived, he would take advantage of them to gain a foothold. If it's not stable, just pounce on it and destroy it.

Two miles away from the Hunhe Bridge, on the official road to Shenyang, more than [-] stone pillars and Youyang chieftain soldiers led by Zhou Dunji, Qin Bangping and Ma Xianglin were still marching in an orderly manner.

The official road is more than two feet wide and is in disrepair. Coupled with the snow in winter, it is covered with ruts and footprints. Fortunately, the weather has not warmed up yet and the ground has not melted. Otherwise, it will be full of mud and it will be difficult to walk.

"March quickly, we must first occupy the Hunhe Bridge."

As pioneers, Qin Bangping, Ma Xianglin and others naturally knew the importance of the Hunhe River Bridge, but the increasing number of Jianlu riders on the road made them understand that they might not be able to cross the bridge smoothly.

Sure enough, just when they were about to arrive at the Hun River Bridge, in the distance outside the Jianlu camp on the south bank of the Hun River, the Jianlu horns kept sounding. The Jianlu soldiers of the five banners outside the camp gate had already begun to gather, waiting for them to gather. As one, we are about to come forward.

When Qin Bangping, Ma Xianglin and others saw this, they called their soldiers to assemble in formation and prepare to meet the enemy. At the same time, they ordered sentry flags to quickly report the situation to the Chinese army Chen Ce and others.

Mang Gurtai and Amin were surrounded by several Jia La E Zhen, looking at the chieftain soldiers who were waiting for the enemy in formation in the distance. The weapons they used were very strange. The weapons of the soldiers in front were made of white wood as the barrel and the tip of the gun. There is a hook at the end of the spear and a ring at the tail.

The formation was very strange, and Mang Gurtai had never seen it before. If Zhu Youxiao were present, he would also wonder why each team formed a triangle, and the teams formed a large triangle together.

Amin on the side couldn't help but laugh when he saw the formation on the other side.

"The formation of these Ming troops is strange. They are all here to die. When they saw us leaving the camp, they didn't rush to Shenyang City. They actually dared to fight with me in the field and formed a formation to wait for me.

Our Dajin soldiers are invincible in the field, so we must kill them all on the south bank of the Hun River, and then wipe out their rear troops, letting the people in Shenyang City watch how their reinforcements are eliminated bit by bit. "

Mang Gurtai disagreed. He had seen too many reinforcements from various parts of the Ming Dynasty during this period, and most of them were unable to fight. However, the war was imminent, and he had also snatched the task of encircling and annihilating the reinforcements from Huang Taiji, so naturally he could not take it lightly.

"Have you found out who is on the other side? Why is the formation so strange? I have never seen any weapons."

"I asked Li Yongfang and others, and they said that they are chieftain soldiers from the southwest of the Ming Dynasty. They are very powerful and should not be underestimated."

Mang Gurtai nodded. He was naturally not afraid of fighting in the wild, but he still couldn't take it lightly and immediately issued the order.

"Send a ranger to keep an eye on Shenyang City. If they dare to come out, the Great Khan will personally lead his troops to surround them and make sure they never come back."

However, just when Mang Gurtai and others were dispatching their troops to prepare for the attack, Chen Ce led other Sichuan troops and the Zhejiang camp. After hearing the message from the messenger, he quickly urged the troops to move forward quickly, and finally caught up with the formation before the battle. The enemy Qin Bangping and others.

"We are only two or three miles away from Shenyang now. We don't want to meet the enemy here. We can quickly walk to the city and fight within the city. Then there will be cover in the city, making it easier to deal with the Jianlu."

Chen Ce saw that Qin Bangping had formed a formation to meet the enemy, and rushed to them quickly, hoping to stop them from fighting.

"My lord, the Jianlu troops on the opposite side have already begun to form a formation. If we cross the bridge or cross the river on ice now, and if the Jianlu troops come to attack, they will easily be broken into two pieces. It will be difficult to look at the beginning and the end. It is better to just line up in Henan." Formation, let Jianlu see how powerful we are."

Chen Ce didn't take it seriously at first, because the Jianlu on the other side had just gathered and were in a hurry to cross the river. This was just an excuse for Qin Bangping, Zhou Dunji and others, because they wanted to fight in the field.But now that the matter was over, it was useless for him to give any more orders. Originally, he wanted to order Qi Jin's Zhejiang camp to push the chariots up and line them up in front of the chieftain soldiers as a cover.

But he thought that there was a contradiction between the two, and the number of the Zhejiang camp was too small. If the chariots were arrayed in front, it would not only be ineffective, but also hinder the performance of the chieftain soldiers, so he asked the Zhejiang camp to line up on the right side of the chieftain soldiers. .

Although Qi Jin and others had conflicts with Qin Bangping and others, they were unambiguous about the imminent battle and directly ordered the formation, with the chariots at the front as cover, the gunmen and spearmen behind them, and the Krupp cannon at the back.

"Hurry up, pull harder!"

The auxiliary soldiers of the Zhejiang camp were desperately pushing the Polu cannon forward. There were ten Krupp cannons in total, each weighing about [-] kilograms. They could fire ten kilograms of shells, which required two to three horses. Pull.

The road in Liaodong is not easy to walk, but the military situation is now fierce. In order to hurry, they have to pull and push to avoid being pulled down.

Seeing that the Krug Cannon was finally in place, Qi Jin finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"We have always been looked down upon by the Sichuan soldiers, saying that we can't stand the fight, but now we finally have to fight with real swords."

Zhang Mingshi nodded on the sidelines. As a person who was fished out of prison by Xiong Tingbi, Te was eager to make meritorious deeds.As a person who is proficient in firearms, ever since the Zhejiang camp switched to blunderbuss and Krupp cannons, he could see the wonderful use of the Krupp cannon at a glance.

In the past, it was useless to use the Folan cannon to hit the shield cart. Jianlu pushed the shield cart as a cover and waited for the Ming army to set off firearms until the gunpowder was used up. Then he led the army to attack. The Ming army without firearms naturally could not The attack breaks itself.

So after receiving the Krug Cannon before New Year's Eve, he led someone to operate it and ponder it personally. Now he can use it freely and is very proficient.

"I will take command later, and you will command the Krug cannon from the rear. When Jianlu uses the shield truck, you will fire at it, making sure that these shield trucks will never come back.

I will also place [-] soldiers and some chariots around the Krupp cannon. If the Jianlu cavalry attacks from the flank, they will definitely not be afraid of them. "

"I understand, I will let Jianlu see how powerful I am."

After Qi Jin gave Zhang Mingshi instructions, he followed his guards into the formation.

With intense arrangements, the formation of the Ming army was finally ready. Among the 5000 chieftains of Qin Bangping, Ma Xianglin and others, [-] Zhejiang battalion troops were on the right, the remaining [-] Sichuan troops were on the left, and Chen Ce led [-] cavalry. Later, I thought I would respond.

On the opposite side, Mang Gurtai saw another Ming army of tens of thousands of people coming, and immediately asked the people below to speed up their assembly and deployment. The shield chariots and the Baya soldiers of the five banners were in front, the armored men were behind with bows, and the cavalry stood at attention. Behind the infantry, divide into left and right wings.

As soon as the shield chariots or the Baya soldiers holding shields pushed down the obstacles on the impact route, the cavalry led the troops to surprise and break through the position.

After a while, the Jianlu soldiers formed their formation, and Mang Gurtai did not want to wait, giving the Ming army more time to prepare.

With a wave of his hand, the army was sent to attack, slowly moving towards the main line of the Sichuan Army. It was already noon, and everyone knew that the battle was coming. The sunlight hit everyone's faces without any warmth, only full of chilling air.

In the main formation of the Sichuan Army, there were orders coming one after another. Everyone with guns held the white guns in their hands tightly. The people at the front of the triangular formation were all the bravest and bravest people. When they saw the Jianlu troops gradually approaching, their faces showed perseverance. color.

After Qin Bangping and others gave instructions, the flag officers of the division and bureau below were still shouting about military discipline before the battle.

"If the soldiers retreat, the captain will be beheaded. If the captain retreats, the sentry commander will be beheaded. If the sentry commander retreats, the commander-in-chief will be beheaded. If the commander-in-chief retreats, the participating generals will be beheaded."

"No stabbing allowed, no beheading allowed."

In the Zhejiang camp on the right, the tanks have been connected end to end, arranged in front and on the right side of the Zhejiang camp. There are soldiers on the station vehicles playing with the Folang machine cannon. The bird gunners in the camp are also using the last time to check the birds. Guns and gunpowder.

In the Kru cannon position behind the camp, ten Kru cannons have been placed. The horses have been moved aside early, and the cannon carriages are fixed with the bricks they carry. The auxiliary soldiers are also placing projectiles aside.

Zhang Mingshi also asked someone to erect a wooden pole, and asked a person who was good at climbing to climb up the wooden pole. Later, he would report the impact point of the Krug cannon at any time so that he could adjust the cannon body and shoot more accurately.

"Woooooo!"

The two armies are close at hand!
