Chapter 174 Liaohe Ambush (Part 2)

Hanjiawan is a zigzag-shaped river bend, which is very similar to the zigzag bend of the Yellow River, except that it is countless times smaller. The middle part of the zigzag is the planned river crossing point for Tumen.

The terrain of this place is that Tumen and others are on the alluvial plain side. The terrain is gentle and theoretically suitable for cultivation into fields. However, because the north bank is occupied by the Flower Species Department, there are no fields and it is actually a weedy wasteland.

The south bank is a hilly area - precisely because it is hilly, the river turns into a few bays. However, these so-called hills are really just small hills, and the trees on the mountains are not tall, so they are certainly not steep.

, otherwise it would not have been chosen as a landing place for the cavalry.

But there are also advantages to the low fluctuations, that is, behind a row of small hills, it is very suitable for hiding troops. As long as the opponent does not send people ashore for in-depth investigation, it is impossible to discover the ambush.

Ma Dong, the right commander of the branch guarding Hai Gai, is currently in the sparse grove on the top of the hill, holding a monocular telescope specially made by Jinghua to check the situation.

The fog at this time was still very heavy, and even with a telescope it was impossible to see through it. After a while, he suddenly stiffened and his whole body tensed up.

Several large, shadowy rafts appeared in the monocular, paddling hard towards this side. There were not only people on the large rafts, but also war horses that could be seen as "nervous" at a glance. Many of them were uneasy.

Some snored and even scratched their hooves, while the Mongolian athletes around them tried their best to comfort them.

The Ma family is now considered an expert in playing cavalry. Ma Dong knows very well that these Mongolian war horses are not afraid of water. War horses actually like water. However, there is a paradox here, that is, although war horses are not afraid of water, they really dislike it.

The sound of rapids in large rivers and tidal waves can make horses feel irritated.

Ma Dong didn't know that this was because the horse's ear structure was unable to filter out some of the noise in this sound, but he knew that this situation would affect the horse's performance in the next period of time.

[Note: This is not a fiction, because the human ear can very effectively reduce the stimulation of the brain by this noise, so humans are rarely averse to listening to the "gurgling sound of water". Many biologists believe that various organs of the human body

Almost all the structures and functions are "water-friendly", so people often feel very comfortable at the beach, but many "original terrestrial animals" will show great discomfort at the beach. Therefore, some in the biological community even believe that humans are "

"Returning creatures", that is, they lived in shallow seas or amphibious in ancient times, or were the product of a combination of shallow sea creatures and terrestrial animals. However, this view is contrary to the most mainstream "African origin theory", so it has been suppressed.

, Friends who like to read miscellaneous books may know something about it. Also, this section is free of charge.]

This is of course good news, but Ma Dong is still a little nervous, because through the lens of the monocular, he can only see the Mongolian rafts, not the Jinghua gunboat that was agreed upon long ago.

Of course, according to the predetermined plan, Jinghua's fleet should have suddenly entered the northwest wind from the lower reaches of Jizi Bay after the first batch of Mongolians had landed, and hit the Mongolians with a "half-crossing attack". It's just...

This battle was not only the largest battle that Ma Dong had personally commanded on the front line since he joined the army, but it was also the battle that required the most stringent coordination. He really couldn't help but be nervous.

This is also a sign that he has not adapted to Gao Pragmatic's planning of operations. For example, generals like Zhang Wanbang who have fought under Gao Pragmatic's command know very well that Gao Pragmatic is a boss who attaches great importance to the concept of time. The operations he plans have always been

It’s all about linking up one link after another, and there can be no leakage in any link.

This requires the subordinates to control the time well enough, otherwise if one link is not connected, the situation on the entire battlefield may be messed up. Although they may not be defeated, they may not be able to complete the pre-war plan, which will lead to the outcome of the battle.

Greatly reduced.

Ma Dong is considered by his father Ma Fang to be mediocre and not aggressive enough, but this does not mean that he has no advantages. His advantage is that he conscientiously completes the tasks assigned by his superiors. He is not proactive enough and will not rush forward at certain times.

In fact, Gao Qingshi felt that Ma Fang was dissatisfied with Ma Dong mainly because Ma Fang always regarded his son as the successor of his cavalry career. As a model general who took the initiative, Ma Fang subconsciously felt that he did not dare to

If you take the initiative to attack, you will not be able to take the initiative on the battlefield, and then you will definitely be suppressed by others, and you will have no choice but to lose the battle.

But Gao Pragmatic is a person who insists on applying according to his aptitude. He thinks Ma Dong can be used. Needless to say about other aspects, at least one thing is very clear: Ma Dong is very resolute in executing orders, and can even be said to be rigid.

Rigidity may not be a good word, but in the army, it is certainly not a bad word - aren't the Prussians notoriously rigid?

Putting aside whether it is just or not, just say that without the rigidity of Prussia, would there have been the German Second Reich and the Third Reich, the initiators of two world wars, which made countless military fans excited? I'm afraid it is difficult.

Therefore, Gao Pragmatic felt that being rigid was not a bad thing, and it was especially rare in the military, so he insisted on letting Ma Dong drive more than a hundred miles to command this battle.

Ma Dong could feel Gao Pragmatic's high regard for him, and as a frustrated "Queen of Famous Generals", he could only repay such heavy trust with military exploits, so he couldn't help but feel nervous.

"Shenrong, the Tatars have begun to land!" Ma Chengen's words came from beside Ma Dong.

Ma Chengen is actually a little nervous, but unlike Ma Dong's nervousness, his nervousness comes from the fact that he finally has a chance to become famous in a battle - if he wins this battle, he can prove that he is no better than the deputy commander-in-chief.

My cousin Ma Chengxun is poor!

It’s also about becoming famous in one battle. If you can do it, so can I!

There will also be competition between brothers, especially since Ma Chengen's father Ma Fu is no longer around. At this time, he hopes that he can take over his father's career... and prestige!

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Ma Dong took a deep breath and said solemnly: "Don't worry, according to the military constitution's arrangement, it is not time yet... The military constitution said, cross the river

There must be at least seven or eight thousand."

Ma Chengen couldn't help but take a deep breath and nodded heavily. His right fist was clenched tightly, and the veins in his left hand holding the Yanling knife at his waist were even more bulging.

What does it mean to have seven or eight thousand people crossing the river?

This means that in Gao Bingxian's mind, these seven or eight thousand people must be captured in one fell swoop!

Let’s not talk about how far the Ming Dynasty was, let’s just say that in the past few decades, I am afraid that there will be no second ministers or generals who dare to kill nearly 10,000 Mongolian Tatars in one fell swoop!

These are the Mongolian Tatars, they come and go like the wind!

The Ming Dynasty has been fighting the Mongols for two hundred years, but it is still not clear what the characteristics of the Tatars are. It may not be surprising to defeat tens of thousands of them, but if they can defeat thousands of people in one fell swoop, who would dare to have such an extravagant hope?

Li Chengliang has been a powerful figure in Liaodong for more than ten years, but if you don't count the battle of Monan, the number of Tatar heads he sent to you was only six to seven thousand (historically, the number of Mongolian army heads he sent was nearly 9,000).

There may still be water in it), and Gao Bingxian planned to defeat Li Chengliang in one battle and conquer the Liao Dynasty for ten years!

How many Tatars were defeated can no longer be considered a great achievement. For example, Ji Commander Qi Jiguang defeated tens of thousands of Tatars at every turn. How many rewards did he receive?

What Ming saw was beheading!

Ma Chengen's heart was racing, and he felt that the blood in his body was beginning to boil, and his murderous intention was almost unstoppable.

Ma Dong was still holding the telescope, staring at the situation on the other side of the hill. After a while, just when Ma Chengen was almost unable to bear the urge, he suddenly said: "The difference in numbers is not enough... ship!

"

He suddenly pointed to the river, handed the monocular to Ma Chengen, and said: "You should also take a look to make sure I am not wrong!"

Ma Chengen quickly took the telescope and put it in front of his right eye - he was very good at shooting and very confident in the vision of his right eye.

Sure enough, Jinghua's gunboats had appeared in the lower reaches of the Liao River. At this moment, the sky began to lighten up. Ma Chengen believed that he could never be wrong. Apart from Jinghua, no other company owned the big boats in the river.

It's finally time for this ambush battle to be fully launched and the winner decided!

"Shenrong saw it very accurately. The Jinghua fleet must have arrived. Let's..."

Before Ma Chengen finished speaking, Ma Dong stood up suddenly, pulled out his sword with a "swipe", and shouted: "Brothers! The Mongolian Tatars have fallen into the military constitution's clever plan, and now they are attacked by me!

What are you waiting for? Establish a great career, get a wife and a son, it depends on today! Kill me!"

"kill!"

"kill!"

"kill!"

Like fuel added to a raging fire, the Ming army's momentum was completely ignited at this moment!
