In the afternoon, the weather gradually became hotter, the scorching sun was scorching the earth, and a layer of mist seemed to be evaporating from the ground!
Liu Ruyi's 3,000 Colored Stone Army was the vanguard, and Wang Pu's 3,000 Datong Army took the rear, guarding more than 5,000 Chinese troops and all kinds of food, wages and supplies, and slowly advanced towards Jinzhou City!
In this battle, Hong Chengchou's plan was known to Liu Ruyi, which was to take advantage of the strong morale of the Ming army to force the main force of the Qing army to fight to the bottom of Jinzhou City.
However, since it was a field battle, the Ming army's innate capabilities were insufficient, and Hong Chengchou did not dare to advance rashly. He had to gather the forces of his generals, like hedgehogs, to arm himself tightly and use momentum to force the Qing army to go to war!
The closer they got to Jinzhou City, the more and more the Qing army's rangers came out. They were in groups, like flies, tightly surrounding Liu Ruyi's army, unable to get away!
Originally, near Songshan, these rangers were less courageous, and they just wandered far away from the Caishi Army, always maintaining a distance of three to four hundred steps!
But when Liu Ruyi's army had just approached Jinzhou City and reached the vicinity of Rufeng Mountain, these Qing army horsemen suddenly became more courageous. Their horses roared back and forth, getting closer and closer to the Caishi Army's camp, and some even
The desperado actually dared to rush thirty or forty steps away from the Colored Stone Army to investigate the military situation!
"Damn, these bastards are really bullying people!" Not to mention Xiao Liu'er, Wang Pu couldn't help it anymore and kept yelling at these Qing army rangers!
Liu Ruyi was not as angry as Xiao Liuer and Wang Pu. It seemed as if he could not see these Qing army cavalry at all. "Brother Wang, Liu'er, calm down! Just let them jump around outside, we can't do without them."
a piece of meat!"
"But! But, General, these bastards have already discovered our military situation. If we just let them go back like this, wouldn't it be..." Xiao Liu'er said tangledly.
Liu Ruyi glanced at Xiao Liuer and slowly shook his head, "The Qing army has outstanding horsepower, and these rangers are all good fighters! Even if we go to war, what can we do to them? Damn it!
I need to calm down! Anyone who dares to argue again will be served by military law!"
"Yes!" Xiao Liu'er quickly covered his mouth!
Wang Pu was also a little afraid of Liu Ruyi's stern appearance and did not dare to express his anger. He just followed Liu Ruyi closely and explored the movements of these Qing army cavalry!
~~~
At this time, Liu Ruyi's main force arrived in the Rufeng Mountain area. This small hilly area was said to be a mountain, but it was actually just a few connected small slopes!
Perhaps because of the sea breeze, there are no plants at all on the bare top of the mountain. The gray-white granite is exposed randomly. Only at the foot of the mountain are patches of grass half a man high, swaying back and forth with the sea breeze!
Here, it is less than ten miles away from Jinzhou City, and five or six miles away on the opposite side is the camp of Azige, the Yingwu Commandery King of the Qing Dynasty!
"General, there has just been news that Governor Hong has arrived at the eastern foot of Rufeng Mountain. Today, the main force of our army will camp at Rufeng Mountain! General Hong has ordered that the general can occupy the west road of Rufeng Mountain and not go into battle easily. He will be waiting for the army at any time.
News!" A messenger knelt down in front of Liu Ruyi and reported.
Liu Ruyi nodded slightly. Hong Chengchou was really cautious, which made Liu Ruyi feel at ease!
"Come here! Pass my military order! The army will do its best to defend. We will camp here today! Huo Lang!"
"The humble post is here!" Huo Lang quickly knelt down in front of Liu Ruyi!
"Have you seen this peak on the west side? Go! Get it down firmly for me!" Liu Ruyi pointed to the top of the westernmost peak of Rufeng Mountain!
"Yes!" Huo Lang quickly stood up, called to his troops, and quickly rushed towards the westernmost mountain!
"Where is the artillery camp?"
"Honored General, your servant Old Michel, sincerely serves you!" Since Liu Ruyi currently does not have a suitable artillery battalion director, and due to trade relations with the Portuguese, Old Michel did not return to Macau, but stayed here.
After arriving at Anton Guard, Liu Ruyi asked him to temporarily replace the principal of the Navy and Artillery School!
The civilization of European firearms has gradually been on the right track in this era!
In addition, Liu Ruyi was not stingy with money, which also made Old Michel work extra hard to manage things in the school in order, and he was as respectful to Liu Ruyi as he was to his master!
The British are proud of themselves in many aspects, but the professionalism of this old butler from Yorkshire, I have to say, makes Liu Ruyi feel at ease!
"Mr. Michel, have you seen that mountain peak? In a moment, when my army takes over that mountain peak, your artillery battalion will build a camp there! However, the situation is urgent and you only have one night. Can you do it?
Arrived?" Liu Ruyi asked sharply!
"Huh? Distinguished general! Aren't we going to attack the strong city in front? Why should we place the position here? The distance here and the artillery range cannot reach that city?" Old Michel
You wondered!
Liu Ruyi glanced at him and said, "Mr. Mihir, you were once a soldier! Do you know what the responsibilities of a soldier are?"
"Uh! Yes! Promise to complete the general's mission!" Perhaps influenced by the enthusiastic young people in the school, Old Michel instinctively gave Liu Ruyi a military salute, and hurriedly left with his students!
Looking at their backs, Liu Ruyi shook her head slightly!
Most of Caishi Army's artillery battalions are newly recruited students. They have been trained for less than two months. If possible, Liu Ruyi would not be able to send them to the battlefield, but now they have reached this level.
, Liu Ruyi could only grit his teeth, work hard, and use actual combat to truly teach them how to play with artillery!
"Where is the old cat with nine lives?"
"Your humble duty is here!" The old cat with nine lives had just returned from investigating the military situation. When he heard Liu Ruyi's call, he hurriedly came forward, knelt down on the ground, and kowtowed respectfully!
Liu Ruyi looked at his dusty face and her tone softened slightly, "Master Cat, I've really worked hard for you these days!"
The old cat with nine lives was startled, and couldn't help but be deeply moved. Tears welled up in his eyes, and he hurriedly said: "Being able to serve the general is a blessing of a humble position! I will never give up even if I have to live in a humble position!"
Liu Ruyi nodded, walked to him, and whispered: "Master Cat, now, I will have an important task for you to complete! Tonight, you can lead people to explore the surrounding terrain.
Try not to fight with the Qing army sentries. Remember, your most important task is to find a source of drinkable water near this mountain peak! Do you understand?"
"Huh? Yes!" The old cat with nine lives was stunned for a moment, then he realized what he was doing and hurriedly bowed his head in agreement!
Liu Ruyi patted him on the shoulder and said, "Go! Pay attention to safety and be careful in everything!"
"Yes!" The old cat with nine lives wiped his tears hard, got up and left quickly!
Liu Ruyi turned her head and said to Xiao Liu'er: "Liu'er, I will leave this warning to you while the army sets up camp!"
"Don't worry, general, I will take care of it right away!" Xiao Liuer hurriedly kowtowed respectfully and hurried away with his headquarters!
Liu Ruyi assigned several generals tasks one after another and arranged the food, grass and baggage, and then he breathed a sigh of relief!
"Brother Liu, what can these six thousand Datong men under my brother do for our army?" Wang Pu was a little anxious!
On weekdays, they eat and drink as if they were brothers, but when it comes to work, Brother Liu doesn't need to do it himself? This, this...
Liu Ruyi smiled slightly, "Brother Wang, please be patient! You and I, brothers, are like a family! It's not yet time, but you will be busy after dinner! However, when the time comes, Brother Wang, don't you
It’s so tiring to complain!”
"How can you not do this! I can share the worries of Brother Liu! I, Wang Pu, even if I shed three layers of skin today, I won't have a single complaint!" Wang Pu couldn't help but be overjoyed, hehehe, and followed Liu again with great joy.
Ruyi is behind you!
~~~~~
As night fell, Liu Ruyi's main force set up camp on the back side of Rufeng Mountain!
The progress on the west side of the mountain was very smooth. The Qing army did not deploy troops here, but there were only a few sentries watching on the top of the mountain. As soon as Huolang led his troops and rushed up, they immediately dispersed!
However, old Michel really suffered a lot in order to drag these heavy red cannons to the top of the mountain!
Fortunately, the Caishi Army had many mules and horses, totaling three to four thousand. With the help of these powerful livestock, and the fact that the mountain was not particularly steep, it took more than two hours to finally transport it up to Qimen.
!
We have already made the journey. As long as God doesn't open his eyes and it rains heavily, we will be able to transport all these big guys up in two or three hours!
At this time, the main force of the army had finished their dinner, and Liu Ruyi called Wang Pu over, "Brother Wang, it's getting dark now, it's time for Brother Wang and his brothers to work!"
Wang Pu couldn't help but be overjoyed and said excitedly: "Hey! Brother Liu, what do you think we should do? Are we going to steal the camp? I have already ordered my men to get ready! Just wait for your order from Brother Liu. Tonight, we
Make sure those dog tartars have a good drink!"
Liu Ruyi couldn't help but laugh, "Brother Wang, it's too early to take the initiative! What we have to do is to save our lives first!"
"Huh? Brother Liu, this, this brother doesn't understand! What do you want to do? Brother, just do as you are told!" Wang Pu couldn't help but feel a little disappointed when he heard that Liu Ruyi had no intention of taking the initiative. However, Liu Ruyi's reputation
At this point, Wang Pu has no doubt about Liu Ruyi!
"It's very simple, all we need is this..."
~~~~~~
What puzzled You Yi and the numerous rangers outside the Colored Stone Army was that the Colored Stone Army seemed to have set up a large formation, but they did not make any big moves. Instead, they were like field mice, being guarded by the Colored Stone Army soldiers.
, the remaining military forces dug trenches aggressively, as if to surround the entire Rufeng Mountain in a circle!
"Hmph! What is the Colored Stone Army? What is Liu Ruyi? What ability does he have? It turns out he is just a timid rat! Someone! Go! Report to Prince Yingwu! The Colored Stone Army,
There is nothing to be afraid of!" A young man wearing Jia La Zhang Jing's official robe looked at the Caishi Army's camp with disdain, then called a soldier and shouted loudly!
"Yes!" The soldiers did not dare to neglect and left in a hurry!
