Back to Daming to be a genius

Chapter 338
(PS: The state is not good, the number of words is less, please forgive me. Also ask for a monthly pass, and I will soon fall out of the top [-].)
The eighth day of October, the tenth year of the Ming Dynasty, is actually Singles’ Day, November [-]th, [-] AD. Winter is about to begin, and the sky is getting dark quickly. It was dark, and when it was corrected at the beginning of Xushi, the land of Liaodong at high latitudes was basically the same as night. In addition, the sky was gloomy and the north wind was blowing hard.It was at this time that a large slave-building army, holding a few torches and flags of the Ming army, quietly slipped out of the camp of slave-building located on the south side of Zhongzuo in Guangning. , the tide generally flocked to the Songshan Fort Ferry ten miles south of the Ming Army Camp.

Half an hour later, the fast-running army of slaves arrived at the ferry smoothly, and the engineers dispatched earlier had already set up four pontoon bridges at the ferry. Amin, the leader of the army, immediately ordered in a low voice: "Xianghuang Banner Army, first!" Cross the river with strict vigilance, and the other troops cross the river one by one. Within half an hour, you must cross the entire Xiaoling River." The Xianghuang Banner deputy Gu Shan Ezhen and Nu Xiaoling who led 12 Xianghuang Banner cavalry came to assist Amin in killing the enemy. Erhachi's No. [-] son Azig agreed in a low voice, and immediately led his army across the river.As mentioned above, during this period of time, the upper reaches of the Xiaoling River and Nuer River were dry and rainless, and the water at the ferry was shallow and slow. In addition, there were four pontoon bridges that had already been built. And quickly spread the guard in the south of the Xiaoling River, and the Xianglan Banner army under the control of Amin also quickly launched an operation to cross the river.

When crossing the river with an army, Amin's two most trusted younger brothers, Tu Lun and Nao Dai, touched A Min. Don't tell Zhang Haogu Manzi secretly to make him prepare? Otherwise, Zhang Haogu Manzi is likely to suffer a big loss from this posture, which is not good for us."

Amin replied in a low voice: "Don't worry, today's action is very weird. Uncle made it clear that he was using us as phantom soldiers. The purpose was to use us to attract the attention of the main force of the barbarians. Uncle took the opportunity to attack the barbarian camp. Use Zhang Haogu to weaken the strength of our Xianglan Banner. Let's inform Zhang Haogu to make preparations. The only one who will suffer is his uncle. It is better to act according to the order first, and wait for his uncle to take the first place. It's cheap, let's play tricks in the blocking battle, let Zhang Haogu's main force go back to rescue, and kill Uncle and lose both."

"Wonderful!" Nao Dai said joyfully in a low voice, "In this way, we not only sold Zhang Hao Gu Manzi a great favor, but also allowed Zhang Hao Gu Manzi to go shopping with his uncle, and we reaped the benefits! It's okay Let Zhang Haogu Manzi trust and rely on us even more, kill three birds with one stone! Kill three birds with one stone!"

"That's right, second brother thought carefully." Tu Lun also flattered Amin, then lowered his voice and said viciously: "Second brother, when we start today, remember to use Zhang Haogu to get rid of that bastard Wu Dahai Egg, bring back our Xianglan Banner army that he took away!"

"Of course, it will be inconvenient for us to do anything if Wu Dahai is not eliminated." Amin nodded, and then ordered in a low voice: "Remember, when the fight starts later, the two of you must pay attention to preserving your strength. Let Azige and Wu Dahai fight, but don't overdo it. Superficial work should be done. As for when to contact Zhang Haogu Manzi, what news should he tell him, what news should he not tell him? Let his main force come back for rescue, and listen to my arrangements. Don't make up your own mind and miss a big deal. In a word, this time we are going to watch the fire from the other side. If the situation is not right, we will help the other side. Win or lose." Tulun and Naodai nodded with grim smiles, expressing that they already understood, and then went back to lead the army to cross the river.

Just after the second watch, Amin's army successfully crossed the Xiaoling River. At this time, Nurhachi sent someone to send the Ming army's night password, and this password for identifying friend or foe almost made the three Amin brothers burst out laughing. Belly——Question: Who is Jiannu Huang Taiji from Nuerhachi, the old Jiannu?Answer: Nuerhachi and Lao Jiannu are Huang Taiji's niece and son-in-law, and Huang Taiji is Nuerhachi's brother-in-law. Lao Jiannu and his son, regardless of their seniority, sleep with a woman in the same family.After laughing enough, Amin didn't hesitate any longer, and immediately led his army southward, rushing to attack Bijia Mountain overnight, and at the same time secretly prepared the inlaid blue flag so that it could be launched at any time, lest the Ming army would come out of the ambush indiscriminately in the dark night, then Amin Uncle has lost too much.

There are two flowers blooming, one for each, Amin is a phantom soldier along the way, Master Zhang and Nuerhachi didn't take him too seriously, and Amin himself is absolutely unwilling to fight with Ming and let his uncle choose him. When it comes to big bargains, even if it is a fight, it will definitely not be exciting, so let's ignore him for the time being, and let's turn our attention back to the slave camp.While Amin's phantom soldiers were crossing the Xiaoling River, the double-faced agent Zhang Shitou not only sent the Ming army's night password, but also sent Nuerhachi an extremely important message—— On that day, Master Zhang sent Hei Yunlong to lead four thousand light cavalry to take the upper reaches of the Nuer River and Xiaoling River and detour Liushuibao, preparing to attack the Shishanfeng granary where Jiannu was built overnight.

"Really or not?" Nuerha pondered in his heart, seriously suspecting that this news was just a plan by Young Master Zhang to lure the tiger away from the mountain, trying to trick his main force into setting up an ambush in the north, thus indirectly protecting the safety of the already empty camp of the Ming army.However, for the sake of caution, Nurhachi still sent [-] troops alone to block the Daling River from Liushuibao to Shishanfeng.After making this decision, Nuerhachi issued another order, and the long-quiet Jiannu camp finally took action again. Nuerhachi took his beloved son Duoduo as the vanguard and personally led the Jiannu Zhenghuang, The four banners of Xianghuang, Zhenglan and Xiangbai have a total of more than [-] elites. At the same time, they are holding horses and wrapping their hooves. They sneaked out of the camp and assembled outside the Jiannu camp, preparing to fight overnight. The empty Ming army camp.

After the first moment of the second watch, the assembled army of slaves began to move, taking advantage of the cover of night to attack the Ming army's camp and rob it without haste, and Duoduo's vanguard army first arrived at Xiaoling, which is just north of the Ming army's camp. After the north bank of the river, news soon came that the army camp was heavily guarded, and it was difficult to sneak across the river. Nuerhachi knew that Young Master Zhang must be playing an empty city to bluff the enemy, so he was not in a hurry, but let Duduo's army Resting on the ground, waiting for his main force to arrive, at the same time Nuerhachi ordered the whole army to speed up, and finally arrived at the north bank of Xiaoling River at midnight, where he joined Duoduo.

"Look, Ama, the barbarian patrols on the opposite side are constantly coming and going, and the torches and bonfires are also very dense. It doesn't look like the main force has already moved south." Duoduo handed a telescope to Nuerhachi respectfully.Nuerhachi raised his binoculars to take a closer look, and found that what Duoduo said was indeed true. In the camp of the Ming army opposite Xiaoling River, there were indeed patrols with torches coming and going, and the bonfire lanterns were as dense as stars. The appearance of emptiness.This made Nuerhachi feel a little worried, "This time, shouldn't I be abused by that little barbarian Zhang Haogu again?" The two arrangements of A Min and Huang Taiji will also fail.After gritting his teeth, Nuerhachi could only order: "Duoduo, you lead the striker to attack immediately, and I will lead the formation! Remember, the first round of attack must break through the barbarian gate!"

"Zarge!" Although he had some doubts in his heart, Jiannu fierce general Doduo agreed without hesitation. He jumped on his horse and waved his hand. The five thousand Jiannu cavalry who had been waiting in line immediately stepped forward and trotted towards the Ming Dynasty on the Xiaoling River. The ten solid wooden bridges built by the army started at a trot, then gradually accelerated their pace, and finally turned into a galloping momentum.When the leading cavalry was about to arrive at the wooden bridge, the Ming army scouts on the opposite side of the wooden bridge also discovered the enemy's attack. They immediately rang the alarm gong and yelled frantically: "Enemy attack! Enemy attack! Build! The slaves are attacking!"

"Boys, follow me to kill! Go!" Now that he has been discovered, Duoduo is no longer polite, raising his knife and roaring, five thousand cavalry charged at full speed, rushing towards the Xiaolinghe bridge like a frenzy On the bridge, those who couldn't get on the bridge simply crossed the river from the shallow water, and crossed the arid Xiaoling River almost in the blink of an eye.The Ming army camp in the south was obviously not well prepared, and was suddenly attacked in the dark. The camp is still full of gongs, security guards, generals and soldiers running and shouting. When Duoduo cavalry rushed to the gate of the camp like a whirlwind, Ming The army has not even been able to gather an army to meet the enemy and resist.Overjoyed, Duoduo yelled like thunder, "Bow and arrow cover, throw a rope hook, and pull down the gate of the village!"

"Whoo! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh...!" "Hoo! Hoo! Hoo! Hoo...!" With the sound of arrowheads piercing through the air, two or three rope hooks with thick arms were thrown out, hooking the Ming army. At the gate of the big camp, dozens of Jiannu cavalry pulled a rope together, and they rushed back together with their horses and whips. The huge gate of the Ming army village first rattled, then its roots broke through the ground, and finally fell to the ground with a slam. .At this time, the Ming army finally had a counterattack with sufficient weight. Ordinary muskets and Franco cannons began to be fired, and bows and arrows also began to be fired one after another, but they were still sparse and insignificant. The casualties caused by the slave cavalry were not large. very big.Doduo was even more ecstatic when he saw this, he raised his shield to protect his face with one hand, and raised his knife with the other to shout, "Boys, let me rush in and kill the barbarians!"

"Kill the barbarians!" The enslaved cavalrymen who successfully broke the village shouted scramblingly, holding up their shining sabers and swarming up, either lifting antlers or filling trenches, and more often jumping directly over trenches and rushing directly into the village The gate of the Ming army camp has collapsed.At this time, Nuerhachi saw that the former army had successfully won, and immediately raised his knife and shouted, "Beat the drum, the whole army will attack! Kill——!"

"Kill!" Amidst the earth-shattering sound of war drums, the morale-boosting Jiannu cavalry raised their knives and roared. Thirty thousand Jiannu were like a giant python. As soon as they raised their heads, they rushed towards Xiaoling River like lightning. The snake head first Rushing across the Xiaoling River, then Snake Waist.But at this moment, three flames suddenly rose from behind the camp of the Ming army, and they flew into the air and exploded. Immediately afterwards, fireworks flew up from the left and right sides of the camp, and exploded in the air. echoed in three directions.Seeing this scene, Nuerhachi was taken aback at first, and then only felt that his eyes lit up. Countless torches appeared on the south, east, and west sides of the Ming army camp at the same time, and the slogan that made the entire Jiannu army frightened echoed, "I will slaughter you!" Slave! There is no slave in the world——!"

"Damn it, it's been tricked again!" Nu'erhachi slapped his thigh fiercely, ignoring why he had to say the word 'again', and just roared: "Mingjin, Mingjin! Come back! Come back to the north bank! "

"Kill——!" Although Nuerhachi gave the order quickly, the movement was still too slow, and before the panicked Jiannu cavalry turned their horses, three Ming army troops had already entered from the Ming army's rear camp and Man Gui, Ma Dengyun, and He Renlong each led an army to attack on three sides, and together they encircled the Jiannu army crossing the Xiaoling River.Jiannu generals and soldiers were terrified, and their morale collapsed. They all retreated northward, or crowded onto the bridge, or rushed into the river to cross the river. The fire rafts of dry crops were so densely packed that they could almost cover the surface of the river, and the flames were blazing, almost turning the Xiaoling River into a river of fire.Just as the north wind was blowing, the flames and smoke drifted southward together, either burning Jiannu's beard and clothes, or making Jiannu's eyes hard to open, with tears and snot spitting wildly.

"Then the fire raft?!" Nuerhachi was confused, thinking that even if the Ming army had already prepared the fire raft, it would be impossible to release so many fire rafts in such a short time, right?After a while of calculation, Nuerhachi suddenly remembered the Heiyunlong army that Zhang Shitou said was going to attack the granary of the army, and he almost fainted from anger. It is true to seize the upper reaches and arrange fire rafts!

It is obviously too late to discover Young Master Zhang's vicious intentions now. Hundreds of fire rafts drifted with the waves, not only blocking the Jiannu's trickling water and crossing the river on the south bank, but also quickly drifting under the wooden bridge, and the tumbling flames The gunpowder hidden under the bridge was quickly ignited. Amid the fierce explosion, the slave soldiers on the bridge were either shaken to death or blown off the bridge, screaming and falling into the water.The tens of thousands of Jiannu on the south bank had fire in front of them and ambushes in the back. There was no way to go to the sky and no way to go down to the ground. Gathering the troops to resist desperately, they kept yelling, "Don't panic! Hold on! Hold on! You can cross the river when the fire raft floats over!"

Expecting the fire raft to cross the river, the slaves would have underestimated the ruthlessness of Young Master Zhang—Master Zhang had already sent his accomplices to drive down countless hidden piles downstream of the ten wooden bridges that contained gunpowder. After the ten wooden bridges were blown up, countless fire rafts not only did not float away, but instead silted up and blocked the river, forming a huge wall of fire.And the fire rafts from the upper reaches of the Xiaoling River are still coming in one after another. Obviously, although the cost of the fire rafts is not too high, but the number one prodigal son of the Ming court, Young Master Zhang still has all his strength this time. Wei Zhongxian broke his fortune once, intending to use a sea of ​​flames to block the retreat of Jiannu on the south bank, and cut a piece of flesh from the army of Jiannu.

"Rush downstream! Rush downstream!" Mangurtai, who found that the fire raft would not float away and was relatively reliable in combat, quickly made adjustments and began to organize troops to charge and break through the lower reaches of the Xiaoling River. Ertai raised his knife and shouted at the organization. Xiao Hongchang, the sniper captain of the Ming army, who was protected by ten Ming army infantry, found this big piece of fat, and led the infantry forward in a chaotic charge. Howling out, it hit Mang Gurtai's face accurately, and the bullet penetrated his nose and went straight into his brain. Mang Gurtai, who was howling with a saber, suddenly stopped howling like a pig, and fell headfirst from his horse. Glorious to be the seventh son of Nurhachi who died tragically at the hands of Young Master Zhang!After the cold shot, Xiao Hongchang turned his head and ran away shamelessly, leading the guards and disappearing into the vast crowd. The chic escape movement seemed to be just like the poem said:
"Quietly, I'm leaving,

As I come quietly,
I waved my sleeves,
Don't take a cloud--take your dog's life! "

Similar situations continued to happen on the battlefield. After summing up their experience, the Ming army snipers who adjusted their tactics were broken into pieces, each with ten elite infantry for protection, wandering around the battlefield like ghosts. Appearing in the range, apart from anything else, it is just a shot.In this way, the Jiannu Niulu Ezhen, Jiala Ezhen, the principal and deputy Gushan Ezhen, and the left and right Mele Ezhen in the melee are in bad luck. They are often shouting in the organization or fighting In full swing, a bullet flew over from nowhere and ended his sinful life. As more and more Jiannu generals were killed by Ming army snipers, the Jiannu team without the general's organization and command naturally also lost their lives. It became more and more chaotic, and the Ming army charged back and forth in groups among the headless slave soldiers, slashing and killing with their knives. .

Of course, Nuerhachi would not sit back and watch his elite family members be slaughtered by Ming army elephants and sheep on the south bank of the Xiaoling River. In order to take the isolated team back, Nuerhachi quickly adjusted his tactics and began to lead the army to the south bank of the Xiaoling River. Downstream detoured, looking for shallow water to cross the river to meet him, but the young master Zhang who had been prepared for a long time had already separated an army led by Zhao, and the acting captain of the wolf cavalry, Ji Yu, led the wolf cavalry to cooperate and specially monitor Nuerhachi The movement of the rear army, Nurhachi's army crossed the river there and blocked it there. In addition, the water of the Xiaoling River is not deep-the cavalry can cross the river in shallow water, and it is not shallow-the water The shallowest point can also block the charge of Jiannu cavalry.Therefore, Nuerhachi's two charges turned into living targets for the wolf cavalry in the river, with heavy casualties. Even though Nuerhachi was anxious, he was still unable to take a step to the south bank.

In desperation, Nuerhachi only grabbed one of his own soldiers, and shouted: "Take my treasured sword, quickly detour around the Songshan Fort Ferry, catch up with Amin and send him an order! Order him to give up attacking Bijia Mountain and return Shi Xiaolinghe rescued the trapped army of our army! Tell him, if you rescued Mangurtai and Duoduo, I will reward him with ten cattle records! If you can’t save them, come and see them!”
