Ming politicians

(Thanks to hostmster for voting for the precious monthly ticket, thank you, and I implore readers to vote again, thank you.)

Duduo's worries are slowly becoming reality. The sharp artillery, the dense flintlock guns, the charging Jiangning battalion sergeant, everything makes his premonition come true. It seems that the focus of the Jiangning battalion's attack is not Not in the direction of Liaodong, it is very likely in the direction of Haizhou, that is to say, the Jiangning Battalion did not come to attack Gaizhou at all, but took the initiative to attack. The purpose is to completely recover Gaizhou, Yaozhou and Haizhou. Let Haizhou and other places echo Liaodong. If such a situation really occurs, Guangning and Xipingbao will definitely not be able to stop it.

It will take some time for the Jiangning battalion to go from Fuzhou to Gaizhou. Unexpectedly, the Qing soldiers stationed in Haizhou have such a major negligence. They did not expect to investigate the situation in Fuzhou and Xuanzhou in advance. Although today's investigation is very difficult.Such responsibility is suspected to be on Jierhalang and Duoduo.

This is also because both Jierhalang and Duoduo fully believed in Huang Taiji's judgment and the information Fan Wencheng collected from Liaodong, although Duoduo did not know the source of these information.But this is by no means a reason to shirk responsibility. In any case, even if he is stationed in Haizhou, he must be well aware of the surrounding situation.

The fighting has lasted for nearly an hour.

What Duoduo didn't expect was that the Eight Banners of Han Dynasty were so brave. After accepting the order to resist on the spot, they quickly began to meet the charge of the Jiangning battalion.Started a face-to-face fight with the Ming army, without showing the slightest fear.This kind of fighting spirit is not inferior to the Manchu Banners at all.

The scene of the fight was extremely grand. With nearly 7 people fighting, Duoduo had never experienced such a grand battle scene. His heart began to sink. From the beginning of the fight between the two armies, the army he led was at a disadvantage.Always struggling to cope, resisting the charge of the Jiangning battalion, more and more soldiers fell.

What Duduo needs most is time. Presumably, Gaizhou and Haizhou should know what happened here soon, when they are attacked.Duoduo has already dispatched several groups of people to rush out in the direction of Gaizhou, the purpose is to quickly report the dangerous situation here to Jierhalang.

Regret and anger are useless, as an excellent commander of the Qing Dynasty.Duoduo has calmed down a long time ago, it is getting dark, this is an opportunity for the army, under normal circumstances, they will not fight at night.Avoid fratricide as long as night falls.Duoduo will have more time to think about it. Besides, Jierhalang will definitely send reinforcements. [

Duoduo has never participated in the fight. He wanted to rush up several times, but in the end he restrained himself. The army fell into a huge passive situation, and might encounter disaster. His task at this time is to organize A strong defense, prolong the time as much as possible, and minimize the loss as much as possible.

Hong Chengchou also began to worry. He thought that the Hou Jin Tartars would not last long. After two rounds of artillery attacks and the power of the flintlock, it is impossible for the Hou Jin Tartars to continue to resist. Simple, the resistance of the Houjin Tartars was very tenacious. No one surrendered and would rather die in battle. This also aroused the fighting spirit of the other Houjin Tartars. Occupying a huge advantage, but it can't defeat the Golden Tartars, it can only accumulate a little advantage.

Seeing the time passed and the sky was about to get dark, Hong Chengchou sighed, he finally remembered Su Tiancheng's entrustment, this time the battle is not as simple as imagined, it will go through several cruel fights, don't think about it It is not very realistic to be able to wipe out tens of thousands of post-Gold Tartars in one go. You have to hold your breath and slowly expand the results of the battle, dragging down the post-Gold Tartars step by step until you win the final victory.

Hong Chengchou could clearly see the fighting on the battlefield. Tens of thousands of troops were fighting in a place that was not very open. You came and went, and people fell down constantly. Both sides were jealous, but their physical strength couldn't keep up.

Hong Chengchou was a little annoyed. If the artillery battalion had been allowed to hold on for a little longer, if he had estimated the tenacity of the Houjin Tartars earlier, and if the timing of the charge had been a little later, the Houjin Tartars might have been defeated.

But all of this is impossible.

The days of summer are much longer, Hong Chengchou begged for the night to come slowly, so that the soldiers of the Jiangning Battalion could kill the Houjin Tartars to the greatest extent, deal a bigger and heavier blow to the Houjin Tartars, and lay a solid foundation for tomorrow's attack. Base.

It was still dark.

Hong Chengchou quickly asked the soldiers who were fighting to withdraw.

The Houjin Tartars have an advantage in archery. In this regard, the Jiangning battalion soldiers can't match it. In addition, the attacking Jiangning battalion soldiers have an advantage in numbers. If there is an accidental injury, it will be more disadvantaged. Soldiers of the Jiangning Camp.

The moon was hanging in the sky, and the Mid-Autumn Festival hadn't passed long. Hong Chengchou had long forgotten about this festival. Ever since the Jiangning camp was preparing to conquer the Golden Tartars, Hong Chengchou had forgotten other things and was fully preparing for this battle.

He Renlong, Liu Tiehan, Ma Xianglin, Liu Wenxiu, Ai Nengqi, Li Dingguo and others all stood by Hong Chengchou's side. They all had smiles on their faces. They knew very well that it was possible to annihilate this group tomorrow. If the [-] post-gold tartars are all wiped out, the post-gold tartars stationed in Haizhou will be greatly shaken. I am afraid that all combat deployments will be disrupted.

There was no smile on Hong Chengchou's face. He knew very well that the reinforcements of the Houjin Tartars were probably on their way. Su Tiancheng, who was in charge of intercepting the Houjin Tartars, would be under tremendous pressure. He didn't know that the [-] army led by Sun Chuanting Has Gaizhou been surrounded and the first line of defense has been set up? Under such circumstances, Su Tiancheng will be under much less pressure.

After so many battles, Hong Chengchou found that he was somewhat dependent on Su Tiancheng. This kind of dependence did not mean that he had to rely on Su Tiancheng's command when fighting, but that he regarded Su Tiancheng as the soul of the Jiangning Camp. This is a kind of spiritual dependence. As long as Su Tiancheng is there, he will not be afraid of big things. As long as Su Tiancheng is in command, the Jiangning Battalion will definitely be able to win one victory after another.

Because of such dependence, Hong Chengchou insisted on taking on the most arduous task every time he arranged a battle, and asked Su Tiancheng to take charge of the overall command. Unfortunately, he couldn't do it every time. most difficult task. [

Hong Chengchou looked at Liu Tiehan and spoke.

"Liu Tiehan, today you made your first contribution, wiped out the vanguard of the Houjin Tartars, and captured Jin Li, the leader of the Zhenglan Banner of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty. But at this time, I will not praise you. What I am considering now is I don’t know if Mr. Sun Chuanting has deployed in place. If Mr. Sun has not yet been able to encircle Gaizhou, the blocking mission undertaken by the general will be particularly dangerous. So, at this time, I will not keep you. You leave overnight and hurry up. Go to the commander-in-chief's side and take Jin Li with him."

"My lord, the commander asked me to follow my lord, and also to capture Duoduo. I asked Jin Li just now, and it is Duoduo who is in command of the Jin Tartar."

"I know, but the safety of the commander-in-chief is more important than Duoduo. You have to remember that as long as the commander-in-chief is safe, we can win the final victory. The safety of the commander-in-chief is the top priority of our Jiangning camp. I have already decided on this matter, and the scout battalion will always follow the commander-in-chief."

"Yes, this subordinate will set off immediately, and this subordinate will only take Jinli over there, while the rest of the captured prisoners will stay behind."

Hong Chengchou nodded and did not continue speaking.

After Liu Tiehan led the scout battalion soldiers to leave, Hong Chengchou spoke to everyone again.

"Everyone, the Houjin Tartars are very tenacious. I remembered the Commander-in-Chief's entrustment, telling me not to worry, don't be impatient, and wipe out the Houjin Tartars step by step. It seems that my lord has already anticipated today's situation. Not to worry, judging from today's battle situation, we have a great advantage. According to my estimation, at least one-third of the post-gold tartars have been wiped out, that is, more than 4000 post-gold tartars. The number of soldiers lost is less than [-]. The Houjin Tartars led by Duoduo are already in a desperate situation. After you go back, get ready and start the general offensive at Mao Shi tomorrow. We must completely wipe out this Houjin Tartars within tomorrow. Son, if we can end the battle here quickly, the pressure on the commander will be much less."

After saying this, Hong Chengchou looked at He Renlong.

"He Renlong, tomorrow you are allowed to lead the soldiers to charge and kill the enemy, and attack from the right wing, but you have to remember the lesson from last time, you must arrange and deploy well, and don't forget your responsibilities when you go to battle to kill the enemy .”

"Ma Xianglin, tomorrow you will lead the soldiers to attack from the left flank."

"Liu Wenxiu, Ai Nengqi and Li Dingguo, follow me tomorrow and attack from the front."

"You all have to remember that tomorrow we must completely defeat the post-gold tartars. We don't want to wipe them all out, but we must defeat them so that they have no ability to resist."

"Qin Rui, at [-] o'clock in Yinshi, start bombarding the Houjin Tartar. I'll give you a quarter of an hour to blast me hard. Don't regret the cannon."

After arranging everything, everyone left the Zhongjun tent and went to make arrangements.

Hong Chengchou let out a long sigh of relief. In any case, up to now, the development of the battle situation has been expected. According to the development of this situation, the fate of the Houjin Tartars is worrying, and it will not be long before they are wiped out. .

While Hong Chengchou was still thinking, there was a rush of horseshoes outside.

The sound of horseshoes soon stopped not far ahead, and after a few hurried conversations, the scouts entered the tent of the Chinese army.

"My lord, Sun Chuanting has led an army to surround Gaizhou City at Shenshi today..." (to be continued...)
