Ming Zuo

Chapter 167 Victory and Defeat

The capital could not go back, so Wang Siyi stayed in the back camp.

This girl is a restless master, and she can talk like a thief.

"You don't even have a horse, and you dare to attack the Han tribe?"

Zuo Menggeng laughed.

"But we have muskets, and the terrain is in our favour."

Wang Siyi had seen the weapons in the back camp a long time ago, and she looked disdainful.

"These fire sticks are useless. They don't work at all."

Zuo Menggeng didn't want to argue with her.

"Whether it works or not, you will know when the time comes."

The troops moved quickly and arrived at the preset location three days later.

Of course, whether this ambush can start or not depends on Liu Zhilun and Huang Taiji.

For this reason, Zuo Menggeng sent out all the reconnaissance brigade, just to get first-hand information.

At the same time, he also reacted.

The Cha Han Department came here at this time. In addition to taking advantage, they also had a task, which was to assist in the protection of Zunhua.

Huang Taiji had to go all out to deal with Liu Zhilun, and he had to guard against other Ming armies, so the troops at hand were not enough.

If Zunhua lost it again, Houjin might really have no hope of returning home.

On December [-], Liu Zhilun's troops arrived in Jizhou.

Originally, he wanted to go to Yongping for rescue, and he also made an appointment with the commander-in-chief Ma Shilong and Wu Zimian.However, I found that going from Jizhou to Yongping did not seem to be feasible, so I decided to attack Zunhua.

It's just such a guy who doesn't even know the geography. I really don't know who gave him the courage to lead the battle.

If you want to go to Zunhua from Jizhou, just go east.

I don't know if this guy lost his way. Halfway to Shimen, he suddenly turned south, ran all the way to Baicaogou, and finally stopped at Niangniang Mountain.

Rao Zuo Menggeng ordered the reconnaissance brigade to monitor the whole process, but he didn't figure out what his marching route meant?
Shimen is in the west of Zunhua, between Zunhua and Jizhou.If you want to attack Zunhua, just go east.Moreover, Zunhua at this time is an empty city, which can be occupied without fighting.

Why did you turn to Niangniang Mountain in the southeast of Zunhua?
Where is Niangniang Mountain?
In the south of today's Qiuzhuang Reservoir, next to Wangjiawu Village.

It should be said that the purpose of going here is to prevent Yongping's Houjin army from returning to aid, and to provide time for Ma Shilong and Wu Zimian to conquer Zunhua...

But Ma Shilong and Wu Zimian didn't move!
Liu Zhilun is purely a fan of shaved heads.

He self-righteously put forward a battle plan, thinking that Ma Shilong and Wu Zimian would definitely bow down and follow closely.

But in the eyes of the two chief soldiers, who are you?

You are just a right servant of the Ministry of War, who is still in charge of storage, why command our two field armies?
Besides, look at the broken place you went to.

How about finding a geomantic treasure for yourself?
Niangniang Mountain is not considered a mountain at all, at most a small slope.What's more deadly is that this place is not a traffic artery, and it is surrounded by great plains.

That is to say, Liu Zhilun can't do it if he wants to play one man's role, and ten thousand men can't open it.

But Ma Shilong and Wu Zimian didn't count him as cheating.

Because these two people really went to attack Zunhua.

But Ma Shilong and Wu Zimian delayed their departure for three days, and Huang Taiji arrived before them.

On the [-]th, Ma Shilong and Wu Zimian were happily preparing to attack the city. Later, the Jin army rushed out and attacked from all sides. As a result, the two armies were defeated and retreated to Shimen.

Until then, both Ma Shilong and Wu Zimian thought that there were not many enemies in Zunhua.Their failure is just an unstable foothold.

So on the second day, I re-arranged and wanted to call back.

Huang Taiji waved his hand, and the whole army of Houjin was dispatched.

Ma Shilong and Wu Zimian were dumbfounded looking at the overwhelming army of post-golden men.

What are you playing?

The wind is tight.

It has to be said that the Ming army escaped very well.

Although Huang Taiji gave the order to attack at the first time, Hou Jin only killed five people in the rear of the palace and captured a promise officer.

That night, Ma Shilong and Wu Zimian disappeared without a trace.

As for Liu Zhilun, he never persisted until the [-]th day.

Later Jin's [-] troops came from Yongping, this guy took the initiative to provoke, and immediately fired.When the second shot was fired, the artillery exploded and burned the camp.

There was no other way, so Liu Zhilun had no choice but to lead his troops back to Niangniang Mountain.

The generals below all know that this battle cannot be won, the disparity is too great.We should take advantage of the fact that Huang Taiji in the north is also fighting, and immediately form an formation and retreat slowly.

In fact, in the direction of Tongzhou in the west, Sun Chengzong also felt that Liu Zhilun was unreliable, so he sent Yang Guodong to help him.

If you really want to retreat, Liu Zhilun can retreat.

But Liu Zhilun is incompetent and incompetent, but he is very loyal.He said that he would repay Jun's kindness with death, and he really did so.

From noon to evening, the two armies fought fiercely around Niangniang Mountain.

Liu Zhilun didn't have the ability to let it go, but he insisted on moving forward.When Hou Jin saw such a high-ranking official, he didn't want to be polite, and the dense rain of arrows all greeted him.

Soon, all the soldiers protecting him died.

At this time, Liu Zhilun also knew that he was doomed.

He really made up his mind to die, and didn't want to run away, but just shouted that he had to die and lived up to the grace, and then handed over the seal to his servant, and asked him to take the road out and return it to the court.

Then Liu Zhilun got an arrow in the head and an arrow in the knee, and died on the battlefield.

The generals wailed.

According to the historical data, he admired Liu Zhilun's loyalty, but with Zuo Menggeng's slander, he probably felt hopeless following such a fool.

And at the same time that Zunhua and Niangniangshan were fighting, Zuo Menggeng also waited for the unsuspecting [-] cavalry from the Han tribe.

What Zuo Menggeng didn't know was that in the original time and space, the Zahan tribe entered the customs and merged with Houjin on the [-]th day of the first month of the third year of Chongzhen.

This time, it was more than half a month earlier.

What was the problem, he had no time to explore.

Anyway, hiding on the mountainside and using a telescope to watch the Mongolian cavalry singing all the way into the encirclement, he was in a good mood.

Next to him, Mao Yuanyi and Wang Siyi shared a telescope, like a child getting a toy.

Finally, the last Mongolian cavalry passed through Nanchengzi.

Zuo Menggeng immediately asked the messenger to send a signal.

On the top of the mountain behind him, the messengers were already in place.

The mountains and fields in winter are bare, and the sight line is very good.The action of the messenger waving the red flag was received by the commanders in all directions at the same time.

Zuo Rong had grown impatient for a long time, because the front of the Mongolian cavalry was less than [-] meters away.

"Fire!"

A long sharp whistle sounded, and the soldiers quickly stood up from behind the bunker, raising their hands to see a rain of bullets.

Dozens of Mongolian cavalry walking in the forefront fell off their horses without any response.

It doesn't matter if they die, the horses that lost their masters wandered around in place, but instead blocked the narrow road.

Behind the first row of soldiers, three layers of firepower lines have already been arranged in sequence.

After three waves of strikes, the Mongolian cavalry suffered hundreds of casualties, and the formation was in chaos.

Troops on both flanks also opened fire.

They were a little farther away from the Mongolian cavalry, about two or three hundred meters.But condescending shooting, the Mongolian cavalry gathered together again, the killing effect is amazing.

Under the sound of gunfire row after row, the Mongolian cavalry fell down like cutting wheat.

Wang Siyi was already dumbfounded.

Looking at the helpless Mongolian cavalry, and looking at his two hammers, the world view has been severely impacted.

She's just a little silly, but not stupid.Knowing that under such firepower, she has no chance of surviving with her force.

The number of people in the back camp was already larger than that of the Chahan tribe, and after such a surprise attack, the Chahan tribe was completely wiped out by half.

The rest of the front and back are broken, and it is impossible to unify the command at all, and they can only fight on their own.

Seeing that there was no hope of turning the horse's head, the one in front simply charged.

Having dealt with Daming for so many years, Mongols are no strangers to muskets.

They thought they could rush out by relying on the gap filled by muskets, but the speed of the horses had not yet increased, and the second wave of strikes from the rear battalion wiped out their ideas in the bud.

The latter Mongols had simpler ideas.

run!
Moreover, the terrain behind is opened up, and the speed of the horse is easy to increase, so it should be able to run away.

Unfortunately, they met Zuo Yong.

After surveying the terrain on the spot, Zuo Yong knew that it was impossible to stop the Mongolian deserters with muskets alone.

then what should we do?

He got the wire from Zhang Yan, straightened it and buried it under the soil.The Mongols walked by the road, and there was no abnormality at all.

But when it was time to stop the attack, the soldiers on both sides quickly pulled up several barbed wire fences and hung them on the wooden stakes on both sides...

Well, the fleeing cavalry slammed into the barbed wire, and they were thrown off their feet.Someone also stopped the horse urgently, and then swung a knife to chop.

The steel knives of the rear battalion cut through the barbed wire constantly, so how can we still count on the iron knives of the Mongols?

The soldiers of the Fourth Battalion stood behind the barbed wire, firing roll calls comfortably.

One shot at a time is easier than hunting birds.

After three rounds of shooting, there were not many Mongols who could stand on the entire battlefield.

Zuo Menggeng gave the order to put bayonets on all of them and squeeze them from all sides to the center.

Seeing the Ming army coming out, the surviving Mongols were overjoyed, thinking that they could use the power of bows and arrows.But the gap in range between the two sides made the Mongols desperate again.

Seeing that the bows and arrows of the Mongols began to fall in less than sixty steps, while the muskets of the Ming army began to kill a hundred steps away.

Wang Siyi couldn't help staring at Zuo Menggeng, like looking at a devil.
