Chongzhen Daming: Starting from Coal Mountain

"what?"

"This?!"

Hou Fangyu froze in place for an instant.

Hong Chengchou also suddenly grabbed the binoculars in his hand.

What's the situation?Why did the artillery positions of the Green Battalion blow up all of a sudden?
Could it be that the red cannons of the Ming army launched a counterattack?But that's not right, the muzzle flames of the red-clothed cannons were not seen on the blunderbusses of the Ming army, and it is impossible for the shelling to have such a scene, right?
Soon, the sound of a huge explosion poured into the ears of the two of them.

Hou Fangyu reacted instantly: "Mine, it's a minefield!"

Hong Chengchou roared even more out of composure: "Serial trick, what a thief, what a Yan Yingyuan, this is his carefully designed serial trick, we fell for Yan Yingyuan's serial trick!"

"Serial plan?" Hou Fangyu looked bewildered, "What link plan?"

"Yan Yingyuan did it on purpose!" Hong Chengchou continued hissing, "He deliberately gave us two blunderbuss platforms, just to lure us into being fooled, just to entice us to pull the cannon in red to the front of the first blunderbuss platform guard The Ming army confronted each other, and then used the minefields laid in advance to blow up our red cannons!"

"Can't it?" Hou Fangyu said dumbfounded, "Can this be expected in advance?"

"What's so difficult about this matter? To put it bluntly, it's worth nothing!" Hong Chengchou was really regretful at the moment, waving his hands and continuing to growl, "Yan Yingyuan deliberately loaded his red cannon with a hundred bullets, killing and injuring the Eight Banners in large numbers The Han army is just to lure us to follow and load a hundred bullets."

"Although the hundred bullets have great lethality, their range is not far."

"In order to ensure mass destruction of the Ming army, the closer the distance, the better."

"So our artillery position can only be in front of the slope protection of the first heavy gun platform, so Yan Yingyuan only needs to bury the mines there. Damn it, it should have been thought of long ago!"

After a pause, he gritted his teeth again and said: "This guy is really scheming, and he's still playing tricks, it's hard to guard against..."

Speaking of this, Hong Chengchou suddenly stopped.

Hou Fangyu subconsciously turned around and asked, "Hong Butang, why aren't you talking?"

However, Hong Chengchou yelled suddenly: "Oh, it's not good! The matter is not over yet, Yan Yingyuan must have a backup, and there will be serials after serials. The outer trenches are not safe!"

"Mines!" Hou Fangyu's face changed suddenly, "There are also minefields in the outer trenches!"

"Ming Jin!" Hong Chengchou had already roared, almost breaking his throat, "Ming Jin quickly, retreat troops, let Datong Town withdraw quickly, let Datong Town withdraw quickly, quickly..."

Hong Dao hurriedly rang the gong on the nest car.

However, the Eight Banners Han army in the trench ahead did not respond.

Hong Da said with a bitter face: "Master, the distance is too far."

"And the battlefield is too noisy." Hou Fangyu also said with a dark face, "I can't hear you at all from the front."

It was really hard to hear the front, because the gunshots on the battlefield never stopped, and powder kegs exploded from time to time, making huge explosions, and these noises were enough to cover the sound of gongs in the distance.

"Then hang up the signal light!" Hong Chengchou paused, "Hang up the signal light!"

"Oh yes, the signal light." Hong Da woke up like a dream.

Immediately take the servants to hang out the signal lights.

……

Yan Yingyuan also saw the signal light.

"Did you think of retreating at this time? It's too late!"

Yan Yingyuan snorted coldly, then turned around and shouted: "Send the order, detonate the minefield!"

For today's battle, Yan Yingyuan prepared a total of [-] new types of landmines, and carefully compiled two serial landmine arrays with the characters of sky and characters of earth, which were used to deal with Jiannu's artillery unit and infantry regiment respectively.

Guo Zisheng behind him immediately shouted: "Yan has an order to remonstrate, detonate the earth minefield!"

Accompanied by shouts one after another, more than a dozen Guozisheng who were in charge of lighting the fuses lit the fuses at the same time, and more than a dozen groups of fuses immediately burned forward rapidly.

Yan Yingyuan once again raised the binoculars and focused his field of vision on the ditch in front of the gun platform.

Because the height is not enough to see, I can't see the situation in the trench of the gun platform ahead, but I can imagine it with my buttocks. At this time, the Jiannu crowded in the trench must have retreated.

However, how could an army of nearly ten thousand people retreat so easily?

From seeing the light signal, to confirming the order, then the front-line commander gave the order, and finally conveyed the retreat order to the battalion, sentry, and team below one by one. How long did it take?
And you can't go too fast, or you will easily collapse.

For an army, retreat is the biggest test.

So although it took time for the fuse to burn, Yan Yingyuan was in no hurry.

About 5 minutes later, a dazzling red light suddenly bloomed in the trenches of more than 20 gun platforms on the first and second levels ahead, lighting up the night sky again.

The Jiannu in the trench were blown upright.

Xie Yuancai was completely numb at this time.

"Pu Heng, when did you plant the mines?"

"While you are sleeping." Yan Yingyuan smiled, and said again, "This job can't be done during the day, only at night."

After a pause, Yan Yingyuan shouted word by word again: "Send the order, blow the charge, and the 7th Infantry Brigade counterattacks across the board, killing the Jiannu infantry in the trench and the Jiannu artillery outside the trench!"

"Yan gave orders to remonstrate, and the 7th Infantry Brigade counterattacked across the board!"

The resonant bugle sounded quickly: "Doo, doot, toot, toot, toot..."

The next moment, more than 4000 soldiers of the Ming Dynasty launched a tidal charge with bayonet-mounted flintlock guns. The posture was really like a monstrous hurricane, and it was nothing more than overwhelming mountains and seas.

……

Wang Fuchen originally wanted to break the queen, but when he saw this posture, he immediately lost his nerve.

This guy is also fate, and the dense minefields just now didn't kill him.

As a veteran of many battles, Wang Fuchen knew better than anyone else that his personal bravery would be of no use at all, not to mention the Ming army, even a swarm of ants could overwhelm him.

"Go away!" Wang Fuchen pushed aside the two Eight Banners Han troops in front of him without hesitation.

After pushing aside the two Eight Banners Han troops, Wang Fuchen immediately captured another one.

The unlucky Han army was caught and thrown aside by Wang Fuchen like an eagle catching a chick.

But there were too many Eight Banners Han troops in front of them, and Wang Fuchen couldn't squeeze through.

Fortunately, Wang Fuchen has extremely rich experience in life-saving, and this difficulty cannot help him.

"Mother thief!" Wang Fuchen jumped up and stepped directly on the shoulder helmet of the Eight Banners Han army stacked on top of each other. Then he jumped up with all his strength on the helmet, grabbed the edge of the trench with both hands, and jumped up again. up.

On the platform, Wang Fuchen threw off his long legs and ran towards the east recklessly.

Wang Fuchen is tall and has long legs, and he has rich experience in fleeing for his life. The other Eight Banners Han troops do not have this ability.

So not long after, the Ming army caught up with the fleeing Eight Banners Han army. First they fired a salvo, and then stabbed them with bayonets. The Eight Banners Han army fell row by row in a pool of blood.

……

Hong Chengchou watched this scene through a telescope and almost died on the spot.

This time it was completely over, not only the attacking green battalion but also two hundred red cannons were finished, Wang Fuchen's [-] elite infantry must also be finished, this is the most capable elite of the Eight Banners Han army!

Thinking of this, Hong Chengchou really regretted it.

If I had known this, I should have changed to another town of pawns.

However, there is no medicine for regret in the world, you can only admit it.

"Yan Yingyuan!" Hong Chengchou turned his gaze to the Ming army's Chen Guantun camp.

"Today, the Motobutang has learned the lesson, but the contest between you and me has just begun!"

But Hou Fangyu was still a little unwilling, and said sharply: "Hong Butang, should we let it go like this?"

"Otherwise?" Hong Chengchou sighed, "Put in more Eight Banners Han troops to launch a counterattack? It's useless! At this time, the morale of our Qing soldiers is already low, and if we continue to fight, we will only increase casualties."

Hou Fangyu also fell silent for a while.

……

As the night passed, the sky brightened.

The Ming army is still cleaning the battlefield.

A Eight Banners Han army pretending to be dead suddenly jumped up and ran away.

"Stop, or you'll shoot!" The Ming army behind him immediately issued a warning.

However, the Eight Banners Han army ignored them and just ran forward with their heads buried.

Immediately there was a gunshot, and the Eight Banners Han army was immediately shot in the back. Under the action of inertia, they ran forward a few steps before falling to the ground. After falling to the ground, they twitched twice and then remained silent.

Yan Yingyuan and Xie Yuancai happened to see this scene when they came to the battlefield surrounded by a group of disciples.

However, Yan Yingyuan didn't mean to blame at all. Instead, he told the soldiers of the Ming army who were cleaning the battlefield to be careful not to be hurt by Jiannu who pretended to be dead.

After giving instructions, Yan Yingyuan called the brigade commander of the 7th Infantry Brigade to him.

The brigade commander of the 7th brigade was also a diligent scholar, and he happily said to Yan Yingyuan: "Brother Wuheng, we killed more than 6000 Jiannu in this battle last night, including more than 4000 from the Eight Banners Han army and more than 2000 from the Green Battalion. "

"In addition, more than 7000 flintlock guns and two hundred red cannons were seized."

It is normal that there are more flintlock guns captured than Jiannu killed.

Because many Jian slaves would take off their armor and even throw away their weapons when they fled.

Speaking of this meal, the brigade commander said with some regret, "It's a pity that these firearms are too bad."

"Only killed more than 6000?" Yan Yingyuan was a little dissatisfied, "It seems that a lot escaped."

There were at least 1 Jiannu infantry who went into the attack last night, and there were 30 red cannons. If one cannon was paired with [-] green battalion soldiers, there would be [-], adding up to [-]!

In other words, most of the Jiannu who participated in the battle last night still ran away.

But this is also reasonable, after all, it is just a defeat battle.

Xie Yuancai was very satisfied: "Brother Juheng, it's already pretty good."

"That's right." Yan Yingyuan smiled, "According to the information provided by the secret investigation department, there are only about 900 red cannons in Jiannu. Excluding the cannons left in Beijing, Hong Chengchou has at most about 500 cannons. One or two more defeats like last night, and Hong Chengchou's army will immediately lose the ability to attack."
