The sun never sets in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 301 Another Small Victory
Liu Guozheng yelled: "Li Xihan, don't patronize the Jiannu on the shore, help pull them up from the water, it will be a big loss if they are washed away."

Everyone in the personal army can swim, and the best swimmers are Liu Guozheng and Li Ximing, two southerners who have been half-baked sailors.

The brief confrontation was only for a moment, and the 77 elite riders riding the Huangqi Banner had already fallen into the sand. Unfortunately, the Huang family's private soldiers only found 72 corpses.

Although Liu Guozheng and Li Xihan rushed into the river to pull the corpses at the first time, it is a pity that five corpses may have rushed downstream, but the 77 war horses all chased them back.

Azig, who was waiting for the news in the camp ten miles away, had inexplicable heart palpitations, feeling upset and uncomfortable. This feeling has never been felt before?What's happening here?
He asked one of the guards loudly, "Has the messenger sent to Ningyuan Camp come back?"

These messengers set off with their two horses before dawn, and the official road is quite easy to travel. The horses galloped for more than 80 miles. It is already afternoon, why are there no people?
At this moment, Huang Mingli was sneering at the appeal letter written in Chinese characters by Azig's clerk, the handwriting was very neat, it seemed that this clerk was a scholar of Ming Dynasty.

There were no more than 11 messengers in a team. How could Huang Mingli let the fat fall from his mouth, and he swallowed it in one gulp, without difficulty, but it was too little.

Azig was fidgeting, asking the guards over and over again if the courier had returned it?Suddenly remembering the men and horses he sent out to look for the crossing point, he asked again: "Where is Takba? How does this slave do things, and he didn't know how to send someone to ventilate after he was gone for a long time."

At this moment, a Niu Luezhen named Na Naka stumbled in.

He was the general in charge of patrolling the south of the camp. When he was strolling outside the camp with a hundred cavalrymen, he vaguely heard the sound of gunfire coming from the south. Following the sound, he found the scene where Takba and his men were massacred. There were thousands of Ming army cavalry cleaning the battlefield.

It turned out that Qing Getai and Ma Shihu led their men and horses to hide behind the forest five miles away and heard the adults crackling and firing guns here. Knowing that they were with Jiannu, they immediately went out to ambush and killed by the river.

More than [-] cavalry became spectators. When they appeared happily, the battle by the river had already settled. The Huang family horses were smiling and gathering their horses. Slave's pigtail cut off his head.

Everyone was very careful not to cut off Jiannu's pigtails, lest there be nonsense when reporting credit.

Ma Shihu looked at the colors of these armored flags and said happily: "My lord, what you killed this time was one of the three banners on Jiannu with a yellow inlaid flag. That is the elite Jiannu, who used to be so bullish!"

Qing Getai said bitterly: "These bastards are still there today. Think about how cruel they were when they slaughtered the Neikalka people."

There are too many tribes in the Mongolian tribes who have suffered a great loss from the Shangsanqi, but their combat effectiveness is not at the same level as others. Every time they meet, they will add new hatreds to the old hatreds.

Today, Qing Getai saw that the number of horses from the Huang family was less than that of the cavalry of the inlaid yellow flag, so he wiped out these dozens of invincible slave cavalry. He had infinite admiration for Master Huang who personally commanded him.

At this time, more than 100 Jiannu cavalry came from Hebei, and Qing Getai took the initiative to ask for orders: "Master Huang, I want to fight. There are only more than 100 Jiannu cavalry on the other side. The soldiers under the humble rank often cross the river from here to familiarize themselves with the situation and know to pay attention to safety." .”

The Mongolian cavalry don't have the equipment of Huang's family, unlike Mr. Huang Sheng leading the team to build bridges when encountering water, they can't play, they just wade across the river.

The Huang family's engineering soldiers are using sealed pontoons and prefabricated planks to erect pontoon bridges on the river that is no more than seventy or eighty steps faster and faster. They cooperated tacitly and dropped each of the sealed pontoons while dropping eighty catties for fixing. Heavy anchor.

There is a pull ring on the sealed pontoon, which is fastened with fasteners and anchor chains. The position of the anchor chain can be adjusted freely according to the depth of the river. It is also very convenient for recycling. One person carries the anchor, and the other carries the sealed pontoon It can be loaded and transferred.

Using fifty sealed pontoons, a pontoon bridge that can pass armored vehicles can be completed on a river that is [-] steps wide within two moments.

Qing Geertai took his subordinates across the river and showed a small face?This seems to be feasible, Huang Sheng said: "Yes, after rushing across the river to the opposite bank, the pursuit must not exceed three miles, and I will come back immediately if I scare Jiannu."

Ma Shihu also got excited and said: "My lord, the cavalry under the humble rank are not afraid of becoming slaves, and the humble rank also invites to fight."

"No, it's just a feint shot, and it's not really going to attack Jiannu. Xiaotaiji, you go and come back quickly, and Liu Guozheng, you go too. The task is not to kill the enemy, but to remind the Neikalkha soldiers not to forget to chase and kill them. distance."

Huang Sheng wanted to let his opponents know that the big river was not an obstacle to the Ming army, and that they had to brave artillery fire to cross the river.

In this way, how can Azig fight?The Ming army can cross the river anytime and anywhere to fight, but their cavalry will suffer casualties when they come three miles by the river, because the six-pound rifled gun of the Huang family is looking for such an opportunity.

The artillery brothers usually fire empty guns in training. Now that Jiannu has become a meat target, everyone enjoys it, no!They pulled the gun carts again to set up artillery positions.

Gou'er is serious about his work. This is the position chosen by his mentor to stop Jiannu from crossing the river. He has already studied the location of the artillery. In order to paralyze Jiannu, he took cover with artillery half an hour ago.

Now moving quickly again to the riverside position layout, the three cannon carts, more than a dozen transport vehicles and more than 100 people are all at their fingertips, not flustered at all, in fact, the three cannons don't need so many people to wait on them.

The reason why Gou'er chose to dispatch all the artillery and part of the auxiliary troops was to allow as many people as possible to experience actual combat. The purpose of course was to train his subordinates.

The movements of the gunner and the auxiliary soldiers were standardized, and after a few breaths of effort, they were adjusted and loaded, and the three explosive bombs "Boom, Boom, Boom" immediately flew out of the muzzle and accurately fell into the loose team of Jiannu.

Na Naka came to the river with his troops and found that the cavalry of the Ming army on the other side had gone down the river, densely packed with two or three thousand soldiers.

Suddenly three cannons fired from the opposite bank, and Nanaka realized that something was wrong and ran away, shouting: "Ming army bombarded, sons, run!"

The enemy cavalry was not densely packed, and the lethality was limited. Gou’er’s artillery fire only knocked down four cavalry. After reloading, he fired three shots at the maximum elevation angle before giving up, because at this time Jiannu had already run away, and Qing Geertai was the first to appear. Near the point where the shells fell.

The results of the shelling this time were even more unsatisfactory, and only one unlucky Jiannu was left behind.

Na Naka didn't dare to stay, because he knew that the ones who had been wiped out by the Ming army were the master's guards. Their combat effectiveness was the strongest in the Xianghuang Banner, and their equipment was also the best. None of them were alive. This shows that the Ming army here The army must be the elite of Ming Dynasty.

The enemy ran away. Even if the cavalrymen of Neikalka were good at riding, it was a waste of time. After all, wading across the river could not speed up. When they rushed down the south bank and entered the big river, Jiannu returned to their horses and fled.

Master Huang only allowed them to chase for three miles and naturally they would not be able to catch up. Qing Getai unhurriedly stripped off the five slaves who were killed by the artillery, chopped off their heads, and dragged back the five dead horses. Horse meat is not afraid of trouble.
