Chapter 91: Crushing is the kingly way
"What's the name of this place!"
Yang Feng sat upright on the war horse, carrying a long knife in his hand flat on his right shoulder, and stared at the front amid the dense sound of gunfire.
In front of him, a group of soldiers of the bandits were standing behind the broken stone wall, repeating the simple movement of loading bullets and aiming at fire. In the flames ejected from the muzzle and the smoke of the battlefield, dense bullets continued to fly forward, and six, four and a half pounds of field guns were also constantly roaring at them. Opposite them were a large number of Qing troops pushing shield chariots forward. The shells roared and hit the shield chariots, and they smashed the bodies of the soldiers with fragments and unexhausted kinetic energy. The shield chariots that were too close were also broken under the dense bullets, and the lead-made bullets that penetrated the shield chariots made the Qing troops fall down behind.
There were even big grenades specially selected to throw heavy black powder grenades at the approaching Qing army.
The Qing army was wailing in the explosion fire.
"Your Majesty, this place is commonly known as Jindian Mountain."
Liang Cheng opened the map in his hand and said.
"Well, this name is quite bold."
Yang Feng said speechlessly as he looked at the hill Bao, which was only a few dozen meters high, two or three hundred meters long and no more than a hundred meters wide under his feet.
"Go back to Your Majesty, this place is said to be where Goguryeo steals the ancient city of the times. The stone wall residues on the outer side are the city walls that year. When Emperor Taizong of Tang conquered Goryeo, the battlefield of the Battle of Jian'an was here. This hill was the mansion of the commander of the city's garrison. When the Tang army naval camp led by Zhang Liang was not yet solid, he was suddenly attacked by the enemy. Zhang Liang was cowardly and at a loss. However, the Tang army still defeated the enemy under the leadership of Deputy General Zhang Jinshu."
The guide said on the side.
The Ming army was not short of guides. Many refugees who fled to Shandong and then returned lived in this area for generations, including the Ming army's navy. When the Liaodong Peninsula fell, more than 30,000 refugees were received in Dengzhou, Shandong alone.
"Tang Taizong fought here to conquer Goryeo, and I fought here to conquer Jiannu. I wonder if I can get Xue Rengui like Emperor Taizong of Tang!"
Yang Feng sighed.
He really lacks a good general now, he is not suitable for commanding the work, and his plan has actually gone bankrupt because he talks on paper and overestimates the transportation of this era.
In his plan, the Ming army bypassed Gaizhou City and crossed Qinghe River in Tuandian to reach here. The whole journey was only forty miles. Although there was no major road, because they were all flat land and small hills, it was fine to walk those country roads. I dare not say anything else about the bandits, and the ability to hike on foot would definitely crush most of the army in this era.
After all, the army of this era will not be often forced to arm the off-road.
However, he still failed.
Even though his three infantry battalions left the artillery battalion and ran at full speed, it took him half a day to complete the journey. In the end, he failed to seize the Qing army heading south in Yaozhou, seize the Qingshi Pass and then close the Gaizhou gate.
Then there is the current situation.
Fortunately, the number of Qing troops was not large. They went south from Yaozhou Post, which was the modern Dashi Bridge. The journey there was actually similar to the Ming army's base from Gaizhou. However, they walked the official road much faster. Despite the delay in information transmission, they still rushed to the front of the Ming army through Qingshi Pass. However, only the Yaozhou area arrived. The Qing army in southern Liaoning was scattered in Haizhou, Niuzhuang, Xiuyan and other cities. They also needed to come in batches. The first batch was only more than 2,000 people. Although the offensive was fierce under the support of the belief in defending their homes, they could only throw away the dead bodies on the ground again and again and retreat with hatred.
The two sides have actually been fighting fiercely for a whole day.
"Fortunately, these stone walls are there!"
Liang Cheng said.
In the era of queuing and shooting, it is impossible to defend against field camps without chest walls. These stone wall residues that have existed for hundreds of years just solve this problem.
"Why haven't the artillery battalion arrived yet?"
Yang Feng frowned and looked behind him.
Immediately afterwards, a cavalry galloped and quickly dismounted and said, "Your Majesty, when the cannon camp crossed the river, he was attacked by a small group of flag-men against the people, and the cavalry battalion is dispersing."
"It seems that I am not a competent commander yet!"
Yang Feng said sadly.
"The Tartar reinforcements have arrived!"
Liang Cheng said with a serious look on his face.
The Qing cavalry in the brigade of Qingshi Pass was coming, and the number was not less than 3,000. The clothes and banner were worn and marked by Zhenghuang Banner. The arrival of this reinforcement army made the morale of the Qing army that was attacking. It was obvious that the situation was not good for the Ming army. Yang Feng's defense core was the twelve nine-jin cannons of the artillery battalion, but this thing was delayed. It was difficult to suppress the Qing army that was attacking with only the six four-jin and a half cannons of the three infantry battalions.
The Ming army, who was defending, was panicked.
These soldiers who went to the battlefield for the first time have performed well so far. Relying on the cover of the stone walls, they have mechanically shot outwards in countless training methods. Even though the sharp arrows are constantly falling above their heads, even though the Qing army has been several meters away recently, and there are no retreating, they are just new recruits who are just starting to go to the battlefield. When they encounter adverse situations, they immediately show their psychological deficiencies.
It is obvious that the nanny should come forward at this time.
"Luckily, I'm still a competent general!"
After Yang Feng said that, he pointed the huge Mo knife in his hand forward, and then shouted: "Enterinary Uniform Guard, follow me to kill the enemy!"
The five hundred Jinyiwei cavalry lined up behind him immediately roared wildly, and then the twelve dragon flags waved, and at the same time, Yang Feng activated the war horses. Then all Jinyiwei activated the war horses, with iron plate breast guards and armored war horses, carrying Jinyiwei cavalry wearing chain armor like four mirror armor on his back, stepping on the sound of horse hooves like thunderous horses, followed the twelve dragon flags, and crashed into the attacking Qing army like a huge spike.
Well, they don’t wear iron cans, and the whole body of armor is still too exaggerated.
Although it is no longer technically difficult to build plate armor, the soldiers with plate armor all over can’t carry them!
"I knew it would be like this!"
At this time, behind the Qing army, the ninth son of the wild boar skin who had just arrived, Zheng Huangqi Meilezhangjing, the third-class Fengguo General Babutai rode on his horse and said in grief and anger.
"Array!"
He shouted without hesitation.
Unlike his special status, he is both low-key and low-ranking. General Fengguo is actually ranked second to last among the royal titles, not to mention that he is only a third-class. Melezhangjing is at best equivalent to the deputy general in the Ming army. Needless to say, what kind of thing is this. Illish, who was just killed by the storm band, was a Melezer. Although Babutai was born in a villain, he still had such a miserable life with his wild boar skin son.
He doesn't want to do such a death-loving job!
But when he heard that the dog emperor was personally expeditioning, all the princes and ministers in Shengjing were deserted, and none of the princes Beile dared to come.
Jirgalang, Daishan and Haoge actually pushed him out in Liaoyang. Prince Beile was not sent to Gushan Bayala, and the two blue flags actually sent him a Meile to come. He pretended to say that he had borrowed the reputation of Taizu, and how could he forget it when he was granted official titles? This is clearly saying that as the son of Taizu, you have the responsibility to die. If you die, we will burn paper.
What's wrong with Taizu's son? Should Taizu's son die?
Why didn't Daishan come?
Poor Taizu's son who lived to Shunzhi year had three brothers, Daishan, Abatai, and Ajige, plus the eight of him and Laimubu, last year, the dog emperor was torn a quarter of the year, and there was also a Duoduo who was said to be unable to get out of bed so far, and his right arm was amputated, his left eye was blind, and even his third leg was destroyed. Although it was not the dog emperor's hand, the account must be counted on him. In fact, he killed two of them, and one was damaged.
He is simply a nightmare for the Aisin Gioro family!
Babutai doesn't want to be the fourth one!
But now, he can't help it.
"Hurry, hurry, the formation is thicker!"
Looking at the huge triangle gradually forming, thinking about the group of famous Eight Banners generals who were despising this thing, he kept running back and forth behind the Qing army, panicking and roaring.
In front of him, all the Qing troops that had originally attacked retreated and quickly formed walls with shield chariots. Behind these walls made of iron plates, cowhide and thick wood, the Qing army holding spears, birds, guns, bows and arrows were staring at the front with fear, staring at the torrent of the cavalry that surged out of the Ming army and the nightmare figure in the front. The huge sword in his hand reflected dazzling sunlight, as if holding a substantial lightning bolt, which could be slashed with the power from heaven at any time.
However, this is not the first one to chop down.
"Uh, what is that?"
Babutai looked blankly at the dog emperor who was less than fifty feet away.
There was a sledgehammer in the latter's hand. The hammer head was a circle larger than the adult's head, but the hammer handle below was very short. Then before Babutai could figure out what this thing was, he saw a Jinyiwei's hand stretching forward, and then a faint flame came out from the hammer handle. At this time, the dog emperor was less than twenty feet away from the front of the shield defense line. His arm suddenly raised up, and the hammer suddenly flew over with the fire.
"Powder keg!"
Babutai immediately screamed in horror.
He finally understood what that was.
But it's too late.
A giant grenade weighing nearly 50 kilograms was thrown fifty meters by Yang Feng, and then the head of the Qing army that was hitting the front was exploded. The violent force sandwiched with thousands of steel balls inside were smashed down like a storm. The front of the Qing army's defense line was like a river embankment washed away by floods, and a big hole was blown out almost instantly. There was a hell below the explosion point. The Qing soldiers who were beaten by the steel balls were all wailing in pain on the ground.
However, this is just the beginning of a nightmare.
Before the Qing army could wake up from the chaos, the torrent of the cavalry crashed into this gap. The galloping horses stepped on the wailing Qing army everywhere, instantly drilled through their formation, and took Yang Feng, who was waving the giant sword as the vanguard, and rushed straight to Babutai, who was commanding behind.
