Beiyang new warlord

As July approached, Mao Jue himself couldn't remember whether it was the fifth day or the sixth day, and the trench of Jiannu was finally dug under his feet.

It is impossible to dig trenches out of the entire battlefield, that would be too much work, only three trenches zigzag across the Dongjiang Highway, ending at a distance of more than 80 meters at the foot of Mount Garao, and digging horizontally to the north The pit was more than half a meter deep, and there was a half-meter-high blocking earth wall on top of the pit. This simple thing was able to cover the Qing army very well and let Mao Jue's cannon I don't know how much the lethality has been reduced.

Although these were the lives of more than 2000 coated blood, more than 600 soldiers of the Eight Banners, and more than 500 Mongolian cavalry, the situation on the battlefield was completely changed with the construction of the trenches, changing the Qing army from defensive to offensive. On one side, standing on the earthen wall raised to three meters and looking forward, Huang Taiji still stroked his beard in satisfaction and nodded.

The setting sun gradually turned red like blood, and slowly sank to the horizon in the direction of Liaodong. Both the cannons of the Dongjiang River and the coats of the Qing army were withdrawn, and the entire battlefield seemed to have returned to calm.

But everyone knows that this is the dead silence before the storm!

On June 21, the tenth year of Chongzhen, Dongjiang, Jialuoshan battlefield, early morning.

In the camp of the Qing army that had been silent for several days, early in the morning, the heavy cowhide-strewn army drum was rumbled again in a shocking rumble, all Jiannu with big arms, round waists, iron leaf ring armor, and bald pigtails The troops recklessly climbed up from the ditch where they were lying down, gathered in front of the big black pots, and greedily stuffed their stomachs with boiled and rotten minced meat porridge. Everyone knew that this was a bloody battle. Every ounce of food energy is the hope of whether he can survive in this Shura field.

On the side of the earth wall, some more hardcover, tough and brave people are gathered here. I don't know if they are nervous or excited. On their bald foreheads, the blood vessels are bulging, and the eyes are frantically looking at them. The emperor, their sweat, Huang Taiji!

At this time, the Jianzhou Jurchen mobilization order is far from being mixed with so many Han allusions, and there is no need to quote a lot of scriptures first, it is short, exquisite and bloody.

"By the emperor's decree, the one who breaks through the formation first will be rewarded with one level of future, one hundred taels of silver, Tieshan will be given three days to grab the clothes, Aha twenty, and the one who wins a dog cannon will be rewarded with two levels of future, one thousand taels of silver. Promote Niulu Ezhen, and kill those who escaped! The family sent Ningguta to be a slave! This!"

Swinging the big blade forward fiercely, Azig also yelled violently.

"There is no retreat! Those who break the thief will be rewarded, and those who escape will die. Do you understand?"

"twitter!"

With a common sound, thousands of barbarian soldiers and Han Eight Banners dead soldiers knelt on the ground fiercely, kowtowing their bare foreheads. Seeing this scene, Huang Taiji nodded in satisfaction again, and then turned his head again.

His eyes firmly fell on Mao Jue's artillery position on the tarmac halfway up the mountain!

Almost at the same time, Garao Hill, the command center of the battle pit in front of the mountain.

A large pile of cans made of bamboo were piled up on the rough wooden table, and Mao Jue's finger smashed on the map like a steel bar without even bothering to wipe off the fish oil from the corner of his mouth.

"Do you understand?"

Dozens of other generals including Pang Dahai and Kong Youde stood at attention with the same solemn face, and slammed their right fists on the left chest and heart.

"Don't worry, General, the general will fulfill his mission in the end!"

After the roar, he picked up his own knife and his helmet on his right hand, and the generals of Dongjiang also dispersed with a bang, rushing down the criss-crossing corridors.

As soon as he walked out of the tent, the loud and clear howling of the Qing army camp on the opposite side was already roaring, and he could vaguely see behind the trench, the rushing crowd was running like rats driven out of the hole by the earthquake, and the excitement in his heart could not be restrained. Nervous and excited, Mao Jue punched hard and hit the cannon beside him with a bang.

It had been a few days, and this moment was what Luo Village had been waiting for. Luo Village failed to produce results, and took the initiative to invite Liu Da, who was transferred to the front line. His thick eyebrows were also staring at the front line. The flintlock guns had already been dampened by heat, and some sergeants were shaking uncontrollably in the tension before the battle.

In the ear, the dull footsteps like a mouse passing through a hole are getting louder and louder, like the prelude to a horror movie, making people unable to relax.

Suddenly, the sound of footsteps stopped abruptly, and before the sergeants could adapt, bursts of teeth-stinging tense voices came out again.

It is exactly the same as the method of warfare in the Salhu War, the baptism of bows and arrows!

It has to be said that the clear bow of this era has reached a peak in the cold weapon era. The large bow made of horns, tendons, and glue is even more complicated than a flintlock gun. Two years is too normal, even for an ordinary bow, it will take more than half a year, but the protracted production has also brought enough income. Back then, the most capable frontier firearms corps of the Ming Dynasty was here like rain falling apart under the arrows.

"Dodge arrows!"

Commanders at all levels uttered hoarse roars. For a moment, most of the Dongjiang soldiers suddenly lowered their heads like a conditioned reflex, and blocked the gauntlet on their right arms. smashed down.

There were more than one or two conical-headed arrows specially used for armor-piercing, crackling and falling, and Dongjiang soldiers kept falling down with groans, and the arrows were thrown. no.

However, compared to Saarhu Juniper's troops, Liu Ting's troops lost more than half in several rounds of arrow rain, and the formation was directly torn apart. This loss is negligible for Dongjiang. The soldiers of Arrow Rain didn't change their expressions, and put their guns on the edge of the ditch again. Many of the soldiers who fell down wore helmets on their heads, wallets on their bodies, and painted a red gourd print on their backs. The special sergeant quickly resisted and dragged to the rear of the position.

If you look closely, there are actually many women among this group of people!

There is no way, Dongjiang is too short of people!The first-line combat troops had occupied most of Dongjiang's middle-aged men. Mao Jue had to select some young and strong women to fill these second-line medical rescue troops. This was the first female soldier in the Ming Dynasty.

There was another short silence, and suddenly, there was a howl like a beast, and countless heavily armored Qing soldiers crawled out of the trench like demons in mythology, carrying swords and shields, and rushed towards the Dongjiang River with teeth and claws.

But this moment was what he was waiting for. Without hesitation, the sergeant at the front slammed the trigger, and the dense ammunition dragged out white smoke lines. Convulsions, dozens of blood spots erupted from behind, and then collapsed back into the trench.

However, in this era, there is really no one more brave and fearless than the Qing army. Even if there are many dead bodies in front, the Qing army behind is still advancing one after another, holding up shields, and some even push the dead as a shield and charge forward.

The first row retreated, the second row stepped forward, and the muskets once again dealt a terrifying blow at the front. Some Qing soldiers ran, puffed, and a white smoke burst out from their shields and armor, followed by blood gushing out. , the person collapsed on the ground, but the heavy armor of the Qing army was indeed not covered, like the dwarfs in the Japanese army who wore bamboo armor and leather armor, they were basically knocked down with a single shot, but some of these heavy armored dead soldiers were full After being shot five or six times, he still rushed forward like a bull.

The third round of guns once again set off the peak of death. However, at this time, the nearest Qing army had rushed a few meters in front of the town, and regardless of loading, they suddenly put the bayonet on the hot muzzle of the gun. Liu Da was also like a beast. Roared up.

"On the bayonet!"

Before he finished speaking, he stabbed the knife out fiercely, and with a puff, the Qing army who rushed to the first ditch fell down screaming and clutching his knees. The next moment, another bayonet stabbed him in the neck. Go, the screams also stopped abruptly.

However, before Liu Da's deputy could draw out the bayonet, he slammed the two-handed knife on his head, the iron helmet buzzed, and the heavy blade left a deep mark, and his neck felt unnatural. Leaning to one side, the sergeant collapsed limply on the ground.

Like dumplings, heavy dead soldiers of the Qing fell into the trench, bayonets and knives collided with fierce sparks one by one, cruel hand-to-hand combat accompanied by fierce bursts of blood!

Chapter 368. The kindness of women?

Although it is extremely cruel, there is nothing fairer than war. It doesn't matter whether you are the banner owner Baylor, the son of a dragon, or a small soldier, or even the descendant of a fugitive slave. Yes, they are still cold corpses.

At this time, the frontier positions of Jialuo Mountain became pits of corpses, and the blood of countless people was sprayed on one face, dripping down on the beard that refused to shave, and thousands of people exercised every day. The second assassination, at this time the flintlock gun in hand was still a little heavy, and another sudden assassination, but this time Liu Da's hand shook a little.With a bang, the tip of the knife pierced the chest of Zuo Ling who was rushing over from above, but it got stuck on the armor plate under the neck, and sparks were thrown out for a while.

At this moment, Na Zuo Ling was also startled into a cold sweat, but immediately, he became savage. He grabbed the cold bayonet with his left hand to prevent Liu Da from withdrawing, and smashed Liu Da hard with the mace in his right hand. head.The reason why these hammers and bones were popular in the Song Dynasty was to deal with the increasingly strong armor. This time, it was so hard that Liu Da suffered a concussion easily.

It's a pity that he couldn't get this concussion opportunity. In the next second, a bloody gash appeared on his chest, and Nazuo Ling collapsed on the ground unwillingly, and finally slipped into the corpse pit with the lubrication of blood. In the second ditch behind him, another Dongjiang private also retracted his head nervously, and two armor-piercing arrows were inserted into the place where his head appeared just now.

Two soldiers in the same robe took their places, panting heavily, Liu Da took two steps back, then stabbed him bent, unloaded the bayonet that was almost pointless, took another bayonet from his leg and put it on But at this time, there was a scream, and the left hand saw a subordinate who was hit on the head by Guduo and fell to the ground. Two Jiannu Guduo knives hit him like raindrops, and blood rushed straight Nao Ren'er, holding a bayonet with red eyes, Liu Da rushed forward again.

In the sky, the fiery artillery fire was still unceasingly fired, and some red-hot iron shotguns crackled and fell on the top of the trench, and a large mound collapsed. I don’t know which unlucky guy took a bite of the soil and popped out angrily. When he came to yell and curse, a missile happened to land and opened his money rat tail, and this scene happened to fall into Huang Taiji's eyes.

Not so easy to attack!

This Dongjiang is really evil! In the Battle of Saerhu, the overwhelming rain of arrows won the opportunity for the Jurchen heavy soldiers to get close. Next, it was time for a massacre against the light infantry of the Ming army holding firearms. The Battle of Shenyang, the Mongolian general who turned against the water After opening the city gate, the [-] Ming troops were slaughtered by the Houjin infantry rushing forward. In the battle of Daling River, once Zhang Chun’s barrier was opened, the Ming troops inside were as sweet as walnut kernels. How did they reach Dongjiang? Here, it's also firearms soldiers, so it's so difficult to fight?

The first batch of more than 3000 dead troops has really become a dead army, with more than 1000 dead and more than 1000 wounded and retired. They have been wiped out. It is already in the afternoon, and the second batch of assault troops are still entangled in the first and second fronts of the Dongjiang River. At first, he thought it would be easy to win Dongjiang in one fell swoop, but until now, he didn't see any hope of breakthrough.

"Master! According to Minggou's practice, the fierce soldier is the one who can fight the most. Mao Manzi is also willing to pay the price and let the soldier fight in front! But the Qin soldier's family is only two or three thousand, even if he is Mao Manzi He has a lot of money, four or five thousand tops the sky, and after killing all these people, taking him from Dongjiang is as easy as pie!"

Seeing that his master's complexion was not good, Fan Wencheng hurriedly persuaded him with a confident look.

But this persuasion still made Huang Taiji's fat face twitch, the reason is the same, but human life is really filling it!Don't look at the fact that the Qing army has a large number of people, but they can't afford such casualties. Chongzhen now has nearly 30 troops in Liaodong, but as long as the Ming court has money and the finances do not collapse, there will still be more than 20 Liaodong troops guarding Liaoxi Corridor, but one of the strong men in Niulu in Jianzhou died, and one less, Huang Taiji has money and has nowhere to recruit?

His face became ruthless, Huang Taiji suddenly shook his head viciously towards his side, and the school monk Xi on the other side immediately kowtowed knowingly, and immediately turned around and went down the mound.

On the mountain, Dongjiang Zhongjun.

Not only was Huang Taiji watching the battle anxiously, but Mao Jue himself was bleeding from his heart, and the old Liaodong in his hands died one by one and one less?However, Ling Jian had been holding the arrow in his hand for more than half a day, and it was even wet, but Mao Jue never threw it out.

But at this time, a group of Qing cavalry came out at the southwest corner of the battlefield, followed by watching Wen Meng, who was anxious, but who had been standing still with Mao Jue, was furious, and shouted murderously.

"Damn it, the dog tartar really treats me as a cannon in the East River? Boom his mother!"
