Chapter fifty-four shellfish
When Yang Zhen's order came, Zhang Chen and Li Lu, who were closely following Zu Keyong, had already tried to persuade Zu Keyong several times, telling him that the task of setting fire to the grain and grass was almost done, and that they could not defeat the Tatars.
It doesn't matter, you can retreat while fighting, and let the artillery handle it when the time comes.
However, Zu Keyong was worried that if his side retreated and the Tatars immediately pursued him, the consequences would be uncontrollable and the situation would be reversed immediately.
Therefore, he had no choice but to grit his teeth and refuse Zhang Chen and Li Lu's suggestions. He had to wait until the Tatars were repulsed or dispersed before retreating with confidence.
When Yang Zhen's order came, Zu Keyong had nothing to say and had no choice but to agree to the arrangement of fighting and retreating at the same time.
At this time, Li Lu and Pan Xi's grenadiers once again came into play. With only more than forty people left, this time all the homemade "hand grenades" they carried were thrown out.
A large number of home-made "hand grenades" fell on the Aha team and the real Tatar team, and soon there was a series of intensive explosions, which caused chaos in the two Tatar team that had been rushing in front, and the real Tatar team who was hiding in the second Tatar team
They also took cover one after another and stopped throwing rain of arrows.
In the midst of this dense explosion, Zu Keyong's troops took the opportunity to quickly break away from the melee with the more and more gathering of the two Tatars. They followed Zhang Chen and Li Lu's troops and moved back and forth quickly.
Withdrawn everywhere.
On the way back, Zu Keyong and others also met Xu Changyong, who had abandoned his armor, and Yuan Jin, who looked disgraced and embarrassed. After asking, they found out that there were hundreds more real Tatars, supervising a large number of
The two Tatars of Baoyi Aha have arrived with reinforcements!
At this time, Zu Keyong turned to look at Li Lu who was following closely beside him, and sighed: "Brother Li Lu! This time, you saved my life, Zu Keyong again!"
At this time, Yang Zhen's flag had been raised, and the Tatar generals in the camp also knew the whereabouts of Yang Zhen's group.
At the same time, Yang Zhen also gained a real understanding of the situation in the Tatar camp. Therefore, it didn't take long for the chaos in the Tatar camp to end.
The real Tatars drove a large number of coated Akhas in the camp to gradually gather together and become the larger party, gradually pressing in the direction of Yang Zhen's banner.
Yang Zhen's stragglers, who were originally scattered around the Tatar camp setting fires and causing trouble, had already begun to retreat gradually even though they had not waited for Yang Zhen's whistle.
A fire also broke out in the direction of the stables, but the Tatar Beziloto who was in charge of the camp already knew that the number of people who robbed the camp was not large, so he no longer panicked and divided his troops to rescue.
Moreover, the grain hoards and haystacks had already caught fire and been burned, and the losses were already certain.
There were not many horses in the stables, so just burn them. The top priority was to destroy these Ming troops who were attacking at night. Only in this way could you have a chance to save your life.
The Tatar Beiziye Lotto was riding on a horse, surrounded from left to right. At this time, the great-nephew of the wild boar skin, his face was black and red, full of uncontrollable anger, his slender eyes,
He looked viciously at the flag fluttering in the wind in the firelight in the distance, and kept thinking about how to kill these damn Ming troops.
Until now, he has not been able to figure out where this Ming army suddenly appeared from, and how they did it——
How could they pass through the heavily guarded camps in the outskirts of Jinzhou, Songshan and the Empress Palace, and suddenly appear in the most secure camp in the rear area, which they were responsible for?
So, at first, when he got the report that there was a fire in the camp, he thought that the fire was accidentally caused by those coated Aha, and he thought that he would just have someone save it.
Later, he received a report that there were shouts of killing from the northeast of the camp, and he thought that this must be the Han aha who had no masters to look after them in the camp, making trouble, and he would just catch them and chop them down.
This Tatar Beiziye Lotto has never taken seriously the team of coated Akhas temporarily led by him in the camp. In his eyes, these slaves who belong to different masters are not human beings at all.
, it’s just a talking animal, and it’s someone else’s animal.
Therefore, he is not stingy at all, and often kills people with military methods. Everyone in this camp is afraid of him, and there are many Aha who want to resist him and murder him.
Even Lotto himself knew this, but he didn't take it seriously.
He knew that those Ahabs feared him far more than they hated him. Even if the sword was handed over to their hands, they would not dare to pick it up to resist.
However, it was not until an explosion occurred in the direction of Xiaoling River that he was shocked and realized that this time it was not Aha who was causing trouble, but someone who really robbed the camp.
So, he assigned a Niu Lu to guard the main entrance of the camp to prevent anyone from attacking. Then he took a Niu Lu with him to the back camp to quell the rebellion or eliminate the enemies who robbed the camp.
Although this Luotuo is a Beiziye, with a title second only to Beile, he is only Nurhachi's grandnephew. Among the current Manchu dignitaries, Beiziye, a branch of the Qing Dynasty, is not a big shot, and his status is not high.
Therefore, there are not many Tatar Niulu that he can possess. In fact, there are only two Ququ, and the rest are the huge team of coated slaves in this camp.
However, these coated slaves are very servile. If you ask them to do some hard work, they can do it well, but if you ask them to pick up swords, guns, bows and arrows and go into battle, these people are far behind.
Therefore, Beiziye Lotto rode on his horse and saw that the minions who were about to encircle the enemy were blown back by the enemy's "gunpowder bombs". He was so angry that he picked up his riding whip and indiscriminately attacked the retreating Aha's faces.
Take a breath at the top.
While lashing, Lotto cursed angrily: "You damn Aha! When you are eating, you are the best at eating! When you are fighting, you are the best loser!..."
Although the Tatar camp was large, it didn't take much effort for the enemy and our teams to meet each other.
Xu Changyong, who had returned to Yang Zhen's side, pointed at Lotto who was riding a horse and hiding behind the Tatar cannon fodder team, cursing at his men, and said to Yang Zhen:
"Brother! Have you seen that Man Tatar? He has about two real Tatars under his command. They should be the strongest troops in this camp! As long as they are destroyed, the other Aha teams will be defeated.
Nothing more is worth mentioning!"
Xu Changyong's words successfully resonated with Yuan Jin and Zu Keyong. Zu Keyong just nodded and said nothing, but Yuan Jin said:
"That's right! Brother Yang! When we met them, my brothers lost a lot of people! In my opinion, now only your musketeers, or Brother Zu's men, can have a chance to fight against these real Tatars!"
Yuan Jin's so-called "Marine Death Squadron" has suffered more than half of its casualties, and there are now less than a hundred who are still alive to gather under Yang Zhen's "advance battalion" banner.
The Mongolian soldiers under Xu Changyong were worthy of being veteran soldiers. They had long since disappeared when they faced off head-on, but now there were still more than 200 scattered soldiers who came back.
"The casualties of the soldiers are already considerable! This is not my original intention! Revenge is not our purpose this time! There is no need to confront them head-on now!"
After Yang Zhen said this, he no longer paid attention to the words of Xu Changyong and Yuan Jin, but directly ordered: "Zhang Degui, listen to the order! You command the gun team and aim at the Tatars on the horses for me.
When the time comes, give me a good beating! Kill a few Tatar leaders first and then we’ll talk!”
Zhang Degui was right next to Yang Zhen. After receiving the order, he immediately made arrangements.
In fact, there is no need to make any special arrangements, because the five-pole nine-headed bird, that is, the gun, has already been set up in front of the formation.
Zhang Degui personally held a nine-headed bird and pointed the muzzle of the gun at Beiziye Lotto, who was full of Tatars. He kept adjusting and aiming.
The snipers and sniper assistants of the other four Nine-Headed Birds also received orders and looked for angles together, aiming at Lotto as well.
It is a pity that the two sides are now facing each other, and the distance between them is relatively long. Even if the effective range of the Nine-Headed Bird exceeds two hundred steps, it is still unable to reach the Tatar official.
Because the Tatars and the piles of Aha in front of the Tatars all knew how sharp the Ming army's guns were. No matter how many times Lotto beat and scolded them, they just hesitated and did not dare to step forward.
However, the stalemate was quickly broken, because the real Tatar from Niulu, who had been sent by Lotto to guard the main entrance of the camp, came with a torch.
With the addition of these real Tatars, the team under Lotto's command once again became commotion and began to surge forward.
At this time, Yang Zhen immediately ordered: "Zhang Chen, Zhang Guogan, Zhang Degui and I stay here! Zu Keyong's troops guard the two wings of the musketeers and advance and retreat with me! Xu Changyong and Yuan Jin can retreat out of the camp now.
