Back to the end of the Ming Dynasty to engage in infrastructure construction

Chapter 191 Encounter

"Are you Jin Chuan's girl who married into Zhao's camp? It's true! Don't be unhappy, it's all his own fault, he stole a piece of dog's head gold and wanted to escape, otherwise he wouldn't have killed him!
Jin Chuan is too greedy!This is Mr. Zhao, if it was those Tartars, Jin Chuan dared to steal other people's dog head gold, then he would not be the only one to die. "

Prompted said.

The woman's face changed slightly.

She knew that what the reminder said was true, and it was definitely not alarmist talk.

If what Jin Chuan stole was the dog's head gold from the Tartars, the whole family would probably be imprisoned. How they should be dealt with as members of the clan was only in the mind of the Tartars.

There is no reason at all.

"Are you going to die? Come back quickly! Don't talk nonsense!"

Behind the woman, her family hurriedly pulled her back, exhorting and warning her not to talk nonsense.

The urging calls obviously had an effect, and all these people fell silent.

They know that as long as they don't make trouble and are obedient, they can survive and have food to eat.

"Well done!"

Zhao Cheng praised and urged.

"From now on, you are the little banner officer, follow me to the army!"

"Thank you, Mr. Zhao, for your promotion! I will only listen to Mr. Zhao from now on. Mr. Zhao told me to catch chickens, but I dare not chase dogs! Mr. Zhao told me to go east, but I dare not go west!"

A burst of ecstasy erupted, subconsciously wanting to kneel down.

However, he quickly realized that Master Zhao didn't like people kneeling.

I really don't like it, it's not just pretending.

Zhao Cheng then reorganized the six hundred young men.

According to previous experience, a detachment of 100 people was drawn from the main force of the Qiangdi Army as the backbone, and filled among the six hundred young and strong to form a reserve force.

So far, the number of troops under Zhao Cheng's direct command has reached [-].

Among them, five hundred are regular soldiers of the Qiangdi Army, who have undergone rigorous training in Qiangdi's military training, followed Zhao Cheng, and fought all the way from Qiangdi to Shengjing. They have experienced the baptism of war, and their combat effectiveness is very strong.

The other [-] reserves are the newly established new army.

However, equipped with musket-loading muskets and filled with two hundred regular soldiers as the backbone, commanding them to fight, they can also display a certain combat effectiveness.

At the very least, it can make up for the defect of insufficient firepower of the strong army.

"Dali, there is a very dangerous mission, do you dare to accept it?"

Zhao Cheng was going to personally lead the team to ambush the Jurchen army coming out from the direction of Hetuala. Of course, this newly built container city could not be abandoned, and he needed someone to stay behind.

To deal with Niu Dali, it is necessary to use the aggressive method appropriately.

"Of course you dare! Sir, just give orders! If my old cow frowns, I will twist my head off and kick it like a ball for you!"

Niu Dali stared.

Zhao Cheng was happy.

"I'll give you 600 men, [-] regular soldiers, and [-] reserve soldiers. Can you hold our new city? I'm going to take the main force away for a few days. The Tartars in the city will definitely not miss this opportunity. They will definitely Come out and fight back.

If you're not lucky, even Hauge's army will come.No matter how difficult the environment is, I still need you to be firmly nailed here, and the city cannot be lost no matter what.

I will leave enough weapons and ammunition for you. "Zhao Cheng said with a serious tone.

"Guaranteed to complete the mission!"

Niu Dali stood at attention, and saluted with a "snap".

Zhao Cheng exchanged a large amount of weapons and ammunition from the system mall, as well as a large amount of gasoline, glass bottles, cotton...to make Molotov cocktails.

The city wall made of containers is not too high, about three meters.

But for the Jurchens whose cannons were unable to exert their power, their method of attacking the city was to rush forward with their flesh and blood, and then climb up the wooden ladder to attack the city.

As long as there are enough Molotov cocktails, this primitive siege method will not work.

If hundreds of people stand on a high place and throw Molotov cocktails down, no matter how many enemies come, they will be in vain.

After making arrangements, Zhao Cheng was relieved.

Four hundred regular soldiers and six hundred reserve soldiers, with detachments as units, passers-by along the way evacuated westward first.

After evacuating for a certain distance, they will meet again, bypass Shengjing City, gallop on horseback, and head east.

This time, it is to completely defeat the last viable force of the Jurchen. The most important thing is to keep it secret.

Being able to set up an ambush in the middle without anyone noticing, and let the Jurchens plunge in, this is the key to completely annihilating the opponent.

In order to keep it secret, Zhao Cheng dispatched a large number of nighters along the way, and anyone who met them would be silenced.

From Shengjing to Hetuala, it is all the way upstream along the Hun River.

"My lord, my little one has been to Hetuala. From Shengjing to Hetuala, there is an intersection ahead, which is a must."

The reminder is very clever, and he took the initiative to send information.

"Oh?"

Zhao Cheng glanced at him.

"You lead the way."

"Hey!"

With a promise, he beat his horse excitedly to lead the way.

At the intersection, Zhao Cheng almost burst out laughing after checking it out.

God help!
Here is the Hun River on one side, and a mountain on the other.

Whether it's blocking the road, or setting up an ambush on the mountain, throwing Molotov cocktails to hit the Tartars head-on, it's very convenient!
Just as Zhao Cheng was about to make arrangements, the next moment, he saw two horsemen galloping ahead.

"My lord, the Jurchens are here! At least two thousand riders!"

This is what was released at night and not collected, covered in dust.

"So fast?"

Zhao Cheng was taken aback.

Gathering an army takes time!
Zhao Cheng thought that he set off in time and marched fast enough.

The two sides actually met in the middle of the two cities.

It can be seen that Hetuala's war potential is much greater than he imagined.

In the distance, dust billows.

The vanguard of the Tartars was already visible to the naked eye.

Just as Zhao Cheng wanted to say that he was ready to fight, he hesitated for a moment and ordered the army to retreat five hundred steps first.

He immediately exchanged dozens of barrels of gasoline from the system mall and piled them here.

After a while, the tartars had arrived.

……

"Ming Army! There is even a Ming Army!"

The general who leads the troops is called Xihan, who is a son of the clan.

He is also the top general staying behind in Hetuala.

When Shengjing was in crisis, Xihan immediately mobilized all the soldiers and horses, plus some young men, and rushed to Shengjing for help.

Unexpectedly, they met the Ming army on the way.

"The Han people are really unreliable! How could the Great Khan hand over Shengjing to that Han official Fan Wencheng? Now, the Ming army has already arrived here, so Shengjing has already fallen, right?"

Sinhan was annoyed for a while.

The Ming army has already arrived here. If they move a little slower, doesn't it mean that this Ming army is about to hit Hetuala?

Hetuala is the place where their Jurchens thrive!

How is this possible?

Tin Han was offended.

"Master, the Ming army is retreating! They only have 1000 people, we can't let them escape!"

Next to him, a Niu Lu Zhang Jing shouted.

They have not been beaten by the powerful local army, and their concepts are still in the era when the Jurchen defeated the Ming army with one against ten.

"Hmph! I really don't know what's going on with Zhuobutai! Why can't even deal with these Ming troops? Warriors, charge me! Defeat the Ming troops!"

Xihan shouted, and took the lead in galloping forward.

In fact, they marched so fast that the horses were already tired.

It is not suitable for immediate charge and combat.

However, the Ming army was retreating.

This opportunity cannot be missed.

Xihan has rich combat experience, he knows that on the battlefield, the army cannot move lightly.

Once the retreat begins, it is beyond the control of the soldiers.

Whether it is a real retreat or a fake retreat, there is actually not much difference.

As long as there is a charge here, the enemy soldiers panic, and the fake retreat becomes a real retreat.

The Jurchen cavalry began to charge, the ground trembled, the dust was steaming, and the momentum was overwhelming.

Sure enough, Zhao Cheng's team began to become chaotic.

It's okay for the Qiangdi Army and the main army. They fought with Master Zhao all the way, and they are full of confidence in Master Zhao.

What's more, they all killed the Tartars so much that they didn't take the Tartars seriously.

These [-] regular troops were able to get off their horses and line up steadily, without any haste.

The six hundred reserve soldiers were in a panic, and some even wanted to turn around and run away.

"Everyone, get off your horse and line up! Prepare to fight! Anyone who dares to escape, die! Shoot dead on the spot!"

Zhao Cheng roared.

The main army of the strong army is in the middle, and the reserves are separated on the two wings.

Zhao Cheng separated a main army of the general banner to supervise the battle behind the position.

Those who dare to escape will be killed on the spot.

"Don't think about running away. Whoever dares to run away, your family members will be imprisoned and killed together!"

Troubled times use heavy code.

Zhao Cheng's eyes were cold.

These reserve soldiers were only young and strong farmers who were farming yesterday, and they were all slaves of the Tartars.

Now, although they are given weapons, they will definitely be timid if they are asked to fight against their former masters.

If these people escape, it is likely to drive the entire front and smash the entire front.

Therefore, the knife in Zhao Cheng's hand was cold at this time.

As long as someone dares to escape, he dares to kill.

Not only to kill those who escaped, but also to sit down, and to have a public trial, so that everyone can see what the fate of running away is!
Fortunately, although the recruits in the reserve were afraid, they held back and did not run away.

Boom boom boom!
Once in range, start shooting.

The Tartars began to fall from their horses with a clatter.

The charging cavalry suddenly burst into commotion.

It was the first time this cavalry had fought against the strong army, and it was also the first time they had seen the power of rifles.

Zhao Cheng pulled a few Napoleon cannons to get the artillery ready.

He stepped on the stirrups, stood up straight, held up the binoculars, with a dignified expression.

Tartars kept losing their horses, but the speed of the cavalry was so fast that they swept towards them like a gust of wind.

"It's now!"

Seeing that the time was ripe, Zhao Cheng's eyes lit up, and he pointed at the gasoline barrels.

"Aim at those barrels, all the cannons, blast me! All the infantry, also aim at those barrels!"

Zhao Cheng gave an order, and all the Napoleon guns fired in unison.

tom!
tom!
tom!
Amidst the muffled sound, shells flew out one after another, hitting the cavalry camp.

All of a sudden, the cavalry turned on their backs one by one.

"Red barbarian cannon! This Ming army actually has a red barbarian cannon!"

Xihan was startled.

How precious is the Hongyi Cannon?

Moreover, transfer is difficult.

This Ming army should have marched here in a hurry, but it can carry Hongyi cannons?

Simply unimaginable.

He saw that there were iron barrels on the side of the road. After being shot by bullets, water flowed out with a pungent smell.

A suspicious look flashed across Xihan's face, but he didn't have time to think about it.

The situation on the battlefield is too tense, every second, someone falls down.

Years of combat experience told Xihan that the most important thing now is to rush to the front of the Ming army's position. As long as they get within the range of the bow and arrow, the Jurchens' cavalry and archery skills can be used to suppress the Ming army's offensive.

"kill!"

Sinhan yelled.

The Jurchen warriors followed behind him, frantically beating their horses and charging forward.

At this moment, a red iron ball flew over and smashed into the oil drum heavily.

Boom boom boom!
There was a flash of light, and successive explosions sounded.

Gasoline drums exploded and burst into flames.

The explosive gasoline instantly engulfed the surrounding area, turning into a sea of ​​flames.

Xihan, together with the warriors around him, had already been buried in the sea of ​​flames before they even figured out what was going on.

In an instant, the battlefield became a little quieter.

Not only the Jurchens were extremely shocked, but even the Qiangdi Army was taken aback, and even forgot to shoot for a while, fired...

"Don't stop the artillery fire! Shoot! Keep shooting!" Zhao Cheng roared.

Only then did the soldiers of the Strong Land Army react, the sound of artillery continued to ring out, and the gunshots were intensive.

The remaining Jurchens were completely terrified.

Where have they seen such a scene?
Frightened, they fled in all directions.

Some frightened horses even ran directly into the Hun River with people.

"Blow the horn! Charge!"

Seeing that the time was ripe, Zhao Cheng gave an order.

A strong sergeant stood up, held his head high, held a charge horn, and blew his head up:

Beep-beep-beep-beep-beep-beep-beep-beep-beep

"Come on!"

At the moment when the trumpet sounded, all the soldiers of the Qiangdi Army rushed out with bayonets in their hands.

It wasn't long before the reserve soldiers put on their uniforms, but along the way, the strong army was emphasizing their chances.

You can't escape when you are in battle.Those who run away will not only die, but their family members will also be implicated.

When you hear the charge horn, you start to charge, even if there are mountains of swords and fire in front of you, you must rush over without hesitation.

What's more, the battle is won now.

Seeing the Qiangdi army leading the charge, they rushed out without any hesitation.

A thousand warriors, like an angry tide, rushed over.

Gunshots kept ringing.

The remaining Tartars were in chaos, and it was very difficult to turn their horses around on the narrow road.

For a while, they trampled on each other, causing heavy casualties.

In the end, out of the two thousand Tartars, only three to five hundred escaped.

"Victory! We have won! With 1000 of us, we have defeated [-] Tartars!"

Prompt to flush.

He is a very opportunistic person, but when the charging horn sounded just now, he rushed forward with the crowd without hesitation...

His whole body was boiling hot.

This feeling is really good!
The loud and clear sound of the charging horn seemed to have a unique magical power, which made him forget his fear.

Beside him were all his comrades in arms, and everyone was shouting the word "kill" angrily.

Prompting is used to being a slave.
