Beiyang new warlord

"Then it's easy to handle! Everyone, let's go to bed!"

After dragging the coat, Mao Jue turned over and lay down on the bed again. The senior officials who watched were stunned, stuttering, Fan Wenju asked in astonishment.

"General, Lord General, the Tartar dog is coming!"

"So if you don't get enough sleep, how can you fight the Tartars? Go back to sleep too! Then you will order the soldiers, let them sleep for half a day, get up at noon, and then go to Jialuo Mountain to drive the Tartars away!"

"Go, go! Don't delay my sleep!"

As soon as he turned over, Mao Jue covered himself up, full of depression, and the three of them were kicked out.

As soon as he left the courtyard, Wen Meng raised his fists and saluted Fan Wen with a sad face.

"Military division, general, what's going on, how can you sleep when the enemy is in front of you?"

"Will you persuade the general again?"

He also frowned, but immediately, Fan Wenju slapped his head suddenly: "The general is right!"

"What? Military division, your head is too busy!"

"Before the battle, Master Wen, do you have anything else to do? Do you still have cannons to display?"

As early as more than two months ago, the Garao Mountain position was already being prepared. Now there is really nothing that needs to be perfected, and [-] troops are stationed there. After doing the math, what Tieshan needs to do now is nothing more than The remaining [-] troops were shipped over.

Now it takes only half an hour to walk along Dongjiang Avenue.

"Well, don't you want to mobilize before the war?"

Sleeping in front of the enemy, this Wenmeng's head is not a fool in his crotch, it feels like a joke, right?Listening to Fan Wenju, he laughed again.

"So we might as well be the general! What we need most now is to let the big guys relax, wake up and beat the dogs! As for the mobilization, we are protecting our own home. Who needs to be mobilized when the robbers come up to fight?"

"Second master, if you don't sleep, the old man will go to sleep!"

He looked at Fan Wenju leisurely going out the door in a daze, glanced in astonishment, and Kong Youde also tilted his head dumbfoundingly.

"Go, go to bed!"

With the attack of the Qing army, this order to sleep really made the Dongjiang army full of consternation, but after the astonishment, the mood of the big guys gradually relaxed again. The general said that he was going to sleep, and it seemed that he had a plan in his mind. Over the years, When did everyone suffer from the general?

Of course, there were not many who could really fall asleep, but it was rare that there was no need for training. The relaxed sergeant smoked and played cards on the playground, and the officer ignored it. Everyone was surprisingly calm all morning.

Even at eleven o'clock at noon, the cafeteria was still serving meals normally, and the Dongjiang Army with 33 regiments and [-] guards slowly boarded the public carriage, pulled the cannon, and set off for the Garao Mountain position.

It's just that it's completely different from the relaxed mood of the soldiers. They didn't pay attention to Mao Jue's stern expression sitting in the carriage.

She deliberately ordered someone not to tell Adelaine that she was carried into the car. The girl was still sleeping like a kitten. She sighed and followed her into the car. She reached out and leaned her dangling little head on his shoulder. Only then slowly opened the map.

"Set off!"

Twelve o'clock in the afternoon, this time is the exact count of the western chime clock, and the follow-up [-] Dongjiang army also arrived on the battlefield. The vanguard has already deployed and is slowly starting to enter the position. Everyone rested and relaxed all morning, facing the big battle The turmoil seemed very calm at this moment. Geng Zhongming, the commander of the regiment prepared here, and Pang Panghai also came to meet Mao Jue's car one after another, and there was no nervousness or fear in their words.

At this point, as long as you do your job well, the rest will be left to God.

After getting out of the carriage, the binoculars were useless, and I looked down with my hands on my forehead, and the whole battlefield came into view.

This is the last gateway of the Dongjiang River. The Dongjiang Highway passes through the foot of the mountain. Not far behind is Tieshan Mountain. On the left side of the road is the main position of Mount Garao. It is just below Luocunbao, on the side of the Dongjiang Highway and towards Yizhou in the northwest, there is an open valley, which can be regarded as a small plain. Originally, dense wheat was planted here, but they were unwilling to give a grain of grain to it. Jiannu stayed behind, and before retreating, the hoarders in Luo village cut off all the ungrown wheat with their own hands.

In fact, in terms of defense, Tieshan City is stronger than here. The height of the city wall was increased by Mao Jue time and time again, and it is almost catching up with the capital. The two counties occupied by Dongjiang in the Northern Dynasty are the most abundant in mineral resources. With the combination of iron ore and the high efficiency of the steam engine, there are more than 200 cannons in Tieshan City, and the defense of the city is generally the strength of the Ming army.

But Mao Jue still chose to fight in the field. There was no other way. Once he defended the city, he would give up the initiative of the entire battlefield. In order to think about victory, he first thought about defeat. , Mao Jue can also retreat north.

The reason why he developed Sakhalin Island and Mao Wenlong supported him so much was also to leave a way out for Dongjiang Town.

And there is another very interesting thing about this position, its terrain is very similar to a famous adult battlefield in history.

Waterloo Battlefield!

The Garao Mountain occupied by Mao Jue is the seat of the Duke of Wellington in the United Kingdom, and the battlefield left for the Qing army on the opposite side is the garrison of Emperor Napoleon.

The only difference from that war was that the strength ratio between the enemy and us was not so disparate. The 7000 men of the Duke of Wellington were not much less than the 4000 men of the Emperor Napoleon, but Mao Jue only had 16 here, and only 18 The [-] Dongjiang pro-army regiment, the [-] Dongjiang cavalry team are still in the country of Japan, and the number of Jiannu is [-] to [-]! When Mao Jue looked at the battlefield with a telescope, in the opposite valley, along the Dongjiang highway, the Qing army The main force also began to show up.

At first glance, no one could be seen, only the densely packed banners. This time the one leading the charge seemed to be the Zhenghong Banner. One by one, the evil dragons painted on the red banners stretched their teeth and claws. They all said that the Eight Banners Iron Cavalry was actually an important force of the Qing army. The infantry is the most outstanding. Whether it was Sarhu or Guangning, it was the Qing infantry who defeated the Ming army. These heavy infantry were also at the forefront. They wore pointed helmets like iron towers on their heads and carried hands on their shoulders. The long-handled simple swords, and the life of living outside the pass all the year round made these barbarian infantrymen naturally develop a physique with big arms and round waists. Amidst the clattering of armor, each of them arrogantly raised their heads and took duck steps forward.

According to Dongjiang's preparations, after these thousands of soldiers and horses arrived at the Jialuofeng position, they immediately set up an formation in the wheat field of Luocun Valley in the northwest corner, and arranged a defensive row at the forefront, followed by densely packed Cavalry, spearmen, and parades generally came in from behind to fill this large formation. As time passed bit by bit, a dark cloud really slowly accumulated on the opposite side of the Dongjiang Army.

Crowds of people can always bring fear. Even Dongjiang, which has been battle-hardened, even if it is mentally prepared, seeing the [-] to [-] light and heavy cavalry, as well as the large number of livestock, still sees the frontier soldiers subconsciously grow their mouths .

However, the larger the army, the easier it is to be confused. There was still a little fighter that was caught in Mao Jue's eyes. The Mongolian cavalry who entered the position were obviously in chaos for a while. tacit agreement.

They can be considered a breakthrough.

The main force of the Qing army marched into the battlefield at [-]:[-] p.m. as indicated by the Western chime clock, but it took more than two hours to set up the formation. It was only after [-]:[-] p.m., and the sun was already westward. I am afraid that the battle will be impossible. The coated slave troops in the back took out the fence poles from their horses and began to slowly build a camp for the night. It is about three kilometers away from the Dongjiang position. The heavy infantry at the front are not so nervous, no Knowing that under the command of the chief, they also sat down one after another, put together the simple sword and the spear and heavy gun, squatted down, drank water and ate a few mouthfuls of dry food.

From the valley, more than a dozen cavalrymen of the Qing army, holding white flags, began to walk towards Dongjiang.

"General, the Tartars are sending envoys, let's"

Is it a literati, sourness is here again, a country full of etiquette, Fan Wenju tentatively asked Mao Jue.

But at this time, there was also a sound of yelling from behind, and the sound of slapping the small head. Dongjiang Secretary-General Adelena jumped out of the car in three steps and two steps, screaming at the same time.

"Overslept, intelligence, this! This is!"

"Are you awake? Lazy? You woke up just in time!"

With a full smile, he turned around and made a joke, but Mao Jue, who turned his face away immediately, straightened his face and spit out two words coldly.

"fire!"

Chapter 365. Fighting skills

Seemingly anticipating the bloodshed that was about to happen, the Dongjiang sky, which had been clear for half a month, unexpectedly began to rain lightly in the middle of the night.

In later generations, Mao Jue hated rain the most, making him wet and uncomfortable all day, and now, he hated it even more.

Fortunately, for God's sake, a little rain set off the atmosphere, and it was collected around [-] o'clock in the morning, without any impact on the paper shell bullets in the Dongjiang buckskin bag and the gunpowder in the oak barrel.

In front of the formation of the two armies, the flat Dongjiang Highway was already pockmarked, with cracks and cracks. A hand drooped out of the soil, and water droplets slowly dripped from the index finger that seemed to be gesticulating downwards mockingly. Immediately down to form a small puddle.

glowing red!

Except for one hand, the body can no longer be seen. A huge mound completely buried the owner of the hand, who did not know whether it was full of Eight Banners or Han Eight Banners. Perhaps, only this hand was left.

This is the masterpiece of the Dongjiang Army's shelling last evening!
