The Rise of Ming Dynasty 1646

Chapter 181 "Battle Attack"

When the Qing army heard the news, a burst of bows and guns shot towards Zhao Chuer, and then there were repeated screams.

Zhao Chuer looked back and saw four or five of his subordinates lying on the ground in a bloody mess.He was scared out of his wits at once, and suddenly saw a pile of rocks beside him, he hurriedly shrunk to get behind the rocks, and his soldiers followed closely.

Seeing that the enemy could not escape, the Qing army did not want to waste any more arrows and lead bullets. Six or seventy people led by a bannerman ran out of the camp with knives and surrounded the hiding places of Zhao Chuer and others.

Seeing that Jianlu had stopped attacking, Li Shitou looked out tremblingly, but saw two rows of torches approaching him from the left and right sides.

"The prisoner is here!" He quickly retracted his head, and immediately remembered what Zhao Baihu said just now - if he was captured by the captive, he would be sold as a luan boy.

Countless tragic images of becoming the Tartar man's favorite appeared in his mind instantly, and he trembled all over, and immediately untied the matchstick from his waist, lit it on the torch, and took out the gunpowder tremblingly, poured it into the mouth of the muzzle, reloaded it, and punched it firmly. , fixed matchlock.

"Never, never be caught..." He stretched out the bird gun to the outside of the stone pestle where he was hiding, closed his eyes and pulled the trigger.The match fell on the medicine pot in an instant, and the detonated gunpowder pushed a lead bullet straight into the night.

Li Shitou's blunderbuss reminded the other soldiers around him, and then several blunderbuss, bows and arrows came out of the stone pestle, and began to attack the Qing army tremblingly.

The Qing army flag who was approaching Zhao Chuer's side only heard a few bangs, and then his neck was struck by lightning, and he couldn't breathe anymore, his eyes widened and he fell backwards.

The dozens of Qing soldiers he led were all shocked when they saw the leading officer killed in an instant. They immediately shouted "the southerners have an ambush", turned around and ran back to the camp.

The Qing army didn't dare to be contemptuous anymore, and the firecrackers, bows and arrows rained down on Zhao Chuer and the others indiscriminately.

"What? You got caught in an ambush by the Nanman, and you even killed Bao Xintai?" Erden Bude's subordinates reported, and couldn't help being furious, "Damn, how many Nan people have come here?"

"Back to the general, some said there were 30 people, and some said that there were a lot of ambushes hidden..."

Before the soldiers finished speaking, Erdenbu suddenly seemed to have seen something, turned around and stepped up a slope, looked into the distance intently, and then was taken aback, "Damn it, there are indeed a large group of people!"

I saw a large group of torches slowly approaching in the darkness of night, not counting, at least thousands of people!
He hurriedly jumped down the slope and hurriedly ordered the whole army to meet the enemy.

Fan Shaozu drove [-] carts of grain and rice, saw the vicinity of the barracks, and was delighted in his heart, when he heard repeated gunshots.

Ming army night attack?He was surprised inwardly, and made a calculation in his mind, ordered his horse to stop and be careful, and asked his confidant to take more than a hundred horses to go outside the camp first to see the situation.

Erdengbu ordered the Qing army camp to wait in strict formation when they saw a group of cavalry from the "enemy formation" attacking, and the officer hurriedly ordered the gates of the village to be closed to fight back against the enemy.

The remaining cannons in the battalion were all pointed at the "enemy cavalry", charging and reloading in one go, followed by three bangs.

It was difficult to aim in the dark night, but two of the three shells flew over the head of the "enemy cavalry" and fell into the crowd of Fan Shaozu's troops a mile away. In an instant, more than a dozen soldiers were smashed to pieces. fly.

The generals sent by Fan Shaozu were taken aback, the cannon was clearly aimed at him!Without hesitation, he turned his horse's head and fled back to the front in a hurry.

Seeing that the "enemy cavalry" had been "repulsed" by Erdengbu's side, he suddenly became energetic, and the cannons continued to blast out one after another.

When Fan Shaozu heard the report from the general, saying that the camp had fired artillery shells without asking any questions, he was even more suspicious. Could it be that the Ming army really captured the camp in the middle of the night?No, he thought about it, maybe it was just a misunderstanding between the army guarding the battalion and himself.

He also ordered his generals to go around to the north gate of the camp to spread the news. Just as he was speaking, an iron ball flew into his rear, causing a burst of screams.

Immediately, a soldier came to report that a grain truck had been destroyed by the shell just now.

It was so hard to grab some grain and grass, Fan Shaozu couldn't bear to lose any more, so he hurriedly ordered the grain truck to retreat two miles.

"Hmph, vulnerable." Seeing the retreat of the troops outside the camp, Erdenbu was even more convinced that it was the Ming army who had attacked the camp. Otherwise, why didn't these people come to confront the password?Under the preconceived idea, he did not expect that if he kept shooting from his side, the other party would not give the correct password, but would be overturned by bows and guns if he got a little closer.

"General, the southerners must be in a panic when they are defeated," Wang Xian, the assistant leader at the side, said to Erdenbu. "The general is willing to lead a team of troops to pursue them, and they will surely be defeated."

Erdengbu looked from a distance and saw that there were quite a few large vehicles in the "Ming Army" queue, moving slowly, or siege equipment.He thought about it for a while, and even if he could not completely defeat the enemy at this time, he could at least burn the siege equipment.

He then said to Wang Xian: "Okay, I will order you to take 500 troops and go out to pursue the camp. Remember, be extremely cautious. If it is difficult to defeat the enemy, just destroy the supplies and return."

"The end will obey orders!"

Fan Shaozu was urging the grain carts to retreat, when he turned his head and saw a group of Qing soldiers rushing out of the camp, they rushed towards him without any explanation.

He didn't dare to be negligent, so he quickly divided half of his people into formation to meet the enemy, and the other half to protect the grain truck. He also suspected that they were friends rather than enemies, and sent two groups of people to confront the password.

Wang Xian led his troops out of the camp, and in a short while they were in front of the "Ming army". He was overjoyed to see that the troops behind the enemy's palace had not yet set up their defensive positions.

He secretly said, "It's easy to pick up today's military achievements", and ordered his confidants to lead 400 people to bypass the "Ming Army" line of defense and attack the rear team's luggage, while he himself shouted, "All follow me!" .

Seeing that there were only a few hundred steps away from the "enemy army", there were several horses coming towards him. He was about to chop off his horse with a knife, when he heard the man shouting something hoarsely at him.

While people were neighing, he seemed to hear the words "Purple Qi coming from the East".

Wang Xian hastily reined in the reins, and said to the man, "Thousands of ages." Then he turned to the man, "Northern wind?"

"Move mountains."

Both parties were stunned when they heard that the incisions were all against Deng, but after a long time they were their own people!
"Who are you in?"

"Back to my lord, the villain is under Fan Zuoling's command."

"Fan Shaozu?" Wang Xian asked in surprise, "If Fan Shaozu is here, then who is fighting the Ming army in the north?"

All of a sudden, there were shouts of killing and gunshots in front of the formation, Wang Xian was so excited, he quickly put aside his doubts and ordered his men to retreat.

But at this time, the two sides were already fighting at the same place, his side was calling for gold, but Fan Shaozu's side didn't know what to do, his soldiers saw the "attacking enemy" suddenly turned back and retreated, so how could they just let it go, immediately Followed by cover-up.

On the other side, the people Wang Xian sent to attack the rear of the "Ming Army" had just rushed into Fan Shaozu's formation, and when they heard Ming Jin, they froze in place for a while, feeling at a loss.

In the night, Zhu Linmei was leading the team to the southeast, when they suddenly heard the sound of artillery in the distance.After a while, the hussars reported that there were two teams fighting on the east side of the Jianlu camp two miles away, with a total of more than six or seven thousand people on both sides.
