Chongzhen and I became partners

Chapter 268 Killing Tartars and Marrying a Wife

Although winter comes out, there is no warmth.

The wind is howling, the flags are flying!
In the camp of the Ming army, the smell of meat bursts out, and the smell makes people salivate!

For the morning meal, each person has three steamed buns, a large piece of braised pork, and a bowl of broth, all of which are hot.

Braised pork with fat in it, this is very rare!

But everyone knows that it will be a desperate time, so no one thinks about splitting meals.

Everyone is chomping, chomping, and smacking their mouths!
The only difference is that the veterans are calm, while the recruits look a bit dignified, and some even have a hint of worry.

The veteran was the first to finish eating. He clapped his hands and said to his comrades: "Look at your ugly looks, can you chew something slowly? As long as you win this battle, you can eat delicious food and drink spicy food every day. Time to taste it!"

"Those Jianlu just have one head and two hands, and they're not three-headed and six-armed, just do it!"

"Let me tell you, there are only a few people in Jianlu. In this war, all the short and tall ones will be involved; but we are different. We are all picked out of so many people. Not to mention the full salary, we are also well-equipped. , This kind of armor was only worn by generals in the past. With this alone, it would be a loss to kill a Jian prisoner."

"Turn around, listen to the order, and follow along, whoever dares to panic, then die first, believe it or not?"

"..."

Under the influence of veterans, the tension before the war immediately weakened among the recruits.

Soon after they finished eating, the order to assemble came down.

Zhou Yuji, Sun Yingyuan, Huang Degong, Yuan Shizhong and others all belonged to the army formation of the headquarters and began to gather their own subordinates to convey the commander's intention.

Zhou Yuji: "When we meet on a narrow road, the brave wins! Listen to my orders, advance but never retreat, kill!"

Sun Yingyuan: "It's the right time to enshrine my wife, Yinzi. If you win this battle, you will be the glory of your ancestors. Anyone who dares to retreat, beheaded!"

Huang Degong: "Brothers, in front of us, they are all moving silver coins. Together with Lao Tzu, we chase after those silver coins and exchange them for wine and meat!"

Yuan Shizhong: "Brothers, the great kindness of the emperor has given us a chance to be human again. Now is the time to serve the court and the emperor!"

According to Sun Chuanting's arrangement, Huang Degong was the main force to fight against Jianlu's headquarters, while Sun Yingyuan and Zhou Yuji supported on both sides to attack the enemies on the flanks of Jianlu's headquarters.Yuan Shizhong led the cavalry to guard the infantry and waited for an opportunity to move.

In the end, Sun Chuanting led 1 horses and served as a reserve team behind the army formation.

After the order was handed down, the Ming army gathered behind the van, ready to fight.

………………

On Jianlu's side, it's almost the same. The forces of the Manchu Eight Banners, the Han Eight Banners, and the Mongolian tribes began to gather almost at the same time as the Ming army.

Abate also has arrangements for his subordinate leaders.

"The Ming army was good at defending, so they must hide behind the car camp."

"As long as the car battalion is under cover and the car battalion is broken, the Ming army will be defeated!"

"After this battle, there will be no Ming army that can pose a threat to our army. The colorful world of Ming country is waiting for you!"

"..."

In fact, Jianlu and the Ming army fought against each other countless times, and they were very familiar with each other's tactics.

Therefore, Abatai's battle arrangement is the same as before, as long as he fights for losses and rushes into the ranks of the Ming army, he will win!

The winter day rose higher and higher, and the whirring of horns echoed in the air.

Groups of soldiers, under the guidance of banners, lined up separately.

Amidst the howling of the cold wind, the killing air became more and more obvious.

One by one, the captains of Jinyiwei shuttled through the formations of each army, shouting loudly at the same time.

"This battle must be won, and it is time to earn military merit!"

"Kill more Tartars so you can marry a daughter-in-law, but don't kill Tartars and you will have no daughter-in-law!"

"Kill all the Tartars and defend the country!"

"If you lose this battle, your relatives and friends will suffer!"

"There is no retreat, and those who do not obey orders will be killed without mercy!"

"..."

In the past, there were no Jin Yiwei in the army, let alone preaching on the battlefield.

But this time, it is said that it was the order of Emperor Chongzhen that such a scene happened.

Of course, this was when the army was still preparing.Following the new order, these Jinyiwei retreated to Shuaiqi.

The soldiers of the Ming army still heard the shouts of the captain of Jinyiwei, all of them had serious expressions.

At this time, the generals and schools at all levels in the military formation began to speak out again, mainly about preparations before the formation, including inspection of firearms and ammunition and so on.

Later, the whole army quieted down, waiting for the start of the war.

On Jianlu's side, it was much easier than that of Ming soldiers.

Many of them were even whispering to each other while they were gathering.

Nothing more than that, based on their previous experience, the Ming army who was laughing at the opposite side dared to bump their heads into the iron plate of the Qing Dynasty.

"Minggou really doesn't have a long memory. He just suffered a big defeat at the beginning of this year. The 12 elite army was wiped out, and now he is looking for abuse again!"

"No, I heard that they are all new recruits! Think about it, what elites are there in the Ming army, don't look at the current appearance, once the battle starts, believe it or not, everyone will pee their pants in fright!"

"Let me tell you, it's actually very simple to fight Ming dogs, as long as their tortoise shells are broken, they will go down a thousand miles!"

"That's right, they actually only rely on firearms. As long as we get close to them, they will be finished. There are no exceptions in so many wars."

"..."

These remarks also exist among those Mongolian tribes.The slightly different thing is that there are some suspicions of foxes pretending to be tigers, mostly talking about what happened when they fought against the Ming army with the Qing army!
Anyway, just one meaning, this time the war, the Ming army is obviously doomed to lose!
From the beginning of the assembly, about half an hour later, in the face of the Ming army's line that stretched for several miles, the Mongolian Eight Banners in Jianlu were the first to dispatch.

They all screamed and rushed out of the camp on horseback, and rushed towards the Ming army. Judging by the momentum, they seemed to be going forward indomitable, as if they wanted to rush into the Ming army's camp in one breath.

There are at least a dozen such cavalry in the entire Ming army front.

With the rumbling of the horseshoes, patches of dust were rolled up, and they rushed towards the Ming army formation.

Abate, who was behind, stared at the battlefield coldly.

According to past experience, this cavalry charge is just a means. When encountering some Ming troops, the soldiers of the Ming army often can't stand the momentum of the cavalry charge and shoot in panic.

In wartime, as long as one of them fired, the other soldiers of the Ming army would follow suit.

This kind of long-distance shooting does not hurt at all. When the Ming army is reloading, it is very likely to rush into the Ming army's formation and defeat the Ming army in one fell swoop.

However, to Abatai's regret, this situation did not happen to the Ming army on the opposite side.

Not only did they not fire a shot, they didn't even fire a cannon.

Seeing that the cavalry was about to rush into the effective range of the muskets, in the end, these men and horses from the Eight Banners of Mongolia roared and turned a corner, not daring to really run into them.

Seeing that this move was useless, Abatai asked his subordinates to wave the command flag again.

This time, the Jianlu infantry began to move.

On the North China Plain, one after another ground carts were pushed by Jianlu to the front of the Ming army.

Behind every chariot, there are Mongolian archers hiding, as well as many white armored soldiers and elite armored soldiers.

There are enough gaps between the carts and the carts, and there are cavalry ready to move.

Kong Youde's artillery, pushing cannons of large and small calibers, hid behind the chariot formation, and moved forward, looking for a suitable distance to bombard the Ming army's chariot battalion.

There are also those Mongolian tribes, most of whom are cavalry, and they also move slowly with the infantry in front, just like hungry wolves on the grassland, when they see an advantage to take advantage of, they will inevitably pounce on it.

Hundreds of thousands of Jianlu and Mongolian Tartars, when the whole army pressed towards the Ming army's position, it seemed to be overwhelming, and the momentum was really huge!

This time, the artillery of the Ming army was no longer silent.

The large-caliber artillery on the side van, such as the general cannon and the large Franco cannon, began to roar first.

"Boom boom boom..."

When the gunpowder smoke rose, iron bullets shot out one after another.

"Boom bang bang..."

This is the sound of iron bullets hitting the soil, and it is also the sound of iron bullets hitting the cart.

Some iron bullets missed, but more iron bullets hit Jianlu more or less.However, in a round of shelling, relatively speaking, the number of chariots that were smashed was relatively small.

The roar of the Ming army's artillery seemed to be a signal for Jianlu to suddenly speed up.

Just as the Ming army's artillery began to bombard, those chariots all sped up their speed and swarmed towards the Ming army's position.

"Boom boom boom..."

"Boom bang bang..."

The artillery of the Ming army rang out one after another, and bursts of gunpowder smoke rose into the sky, blown by the howling north wind towards the soldiers of the Ming army assembled behind the camp.

Sun Chuanting was on the roof of a van, observing the enemy's situation with binoculars, and soon discovered the artillery in the Jianlu army.

So, a personal guard rode away quickly and came to the front line to convey the military order.

Kong Youde's side was suddenly unlucky. The Ming army's large-caliber artillery in his direction all blasted towards him.

The iron bullets whizzed and plowed out bloody furrows, making it impossible for him to have a chance to shoot.

Seeing all this, Abatai behind couldn't help but look gloomy.

Although he had been mentally prepared that there would definitely be losses before he attacked the Ming army, he did not expect that this Ming army had a lot of artillery, and the accuracy seemed to be good, causing his men to lose more than he expected. There are even more lands!
It's okay, it doesn't matter, when you get closer, when the archers and musketeers start to fight back, they will be able to suppress the Ming army's artillery and muskets!

His thoughts are also the thoughts of those veterans in the Jianlu Army.

It doesn't matter if you lose more now, as long as you rush over!

So, each of them held their breath and accelerated the speed of the car.

"Kill..."

Amidst the screams of killing, Jianlu's chariot lost about one-tenth of it, and finally rushed to the shooting range of an arrow.
