Chapter 391 The Southern Expedition and the Northern War 56 Fighting Eight Banners Again
Many Ming army defeated soldiers were working as porters in the fortress, waiting for the arrival of the Eight Banners soldiers by fate. At this time, they were all dazed on the wall, looking at the bodies of the Eight Banners soldiers everywhere, looking at each other without saying a word.
Zhang Pan's ears were still "buzzing" because the sound of muskets and cannons just now, and suddenly a Liaodong accent command came from behind: "What are you still standing here to do? Go down and help with your work, don't be lazy,"
Zhang Pan was pushed by his companions before he noticed that several Chinese military officers wearing black uniforms, breastplates and helmets were directing them to work.
Another team of Chinese troops came from the direction of Jinzhou Guard. They were all young and overly-deserved soldiers in black. Everyone carried exquisite "bird guns" on their shoulders. Their faces were full of pride and desire to fight. Zhang Pan was sharp. It was discovered that this mental outlook was something that could not be seen in Ming soldiers.
Almost teenage soldiers were still young, holding red battle flags, raising their chests and sucking their stomachs, and even singing songs, strode into the south gate of the city, passing by Zhang Pan and other Ming army defeated soldiers. None of them were allowed to do so. People looked at Zhang Pan and the others at first sight.
Zhang Pan and others were involuntarily ashamed of themselves in front of these teenagers.
Zhang Pan whispered to the Chinese military officer who led the way: "Sir, what are these kids doing?"
The military supervisor with red shoulders and red belts looked at him and said impatiently: "This is our Boy Scout, composed of top students from this period of the Chinese Military Academy," although he is also a Liaodong as Zhang Pan People, but the officers of the Chinese Army were very cold to Zhang Pan and others.
Except for the word "boy scout", Zhang Pan didn't understand what other words meant.
When the Ming army defeated soldiers, as temporary coolies, came to the near the chest wall defense line, the cavalry troops had already rushed out across the chest wall and searched on the battlefield. From time to time, several Eight Banners soldiers who were not killed were dragged out of the pile of corpses. After being thrown to the chest wall, infantry brothers immediately dragged the braids on the heads of these Eight Banners soldiers and tied them together to guard them.
"Quickly wipe all the barrels of these rain guns, use such a tray, do this, do it, do you understand?" The supervisor demonstrated to Zhang Pan and others, and then asked them to help the Chinese soldiers reload them. Torrential rain gun.
Several Ming army deserters whispered to each other: "This thing is so powerful. When it strikes, it's like lightning. The Tartar cavalry can't rush over,"
"Is this really a pirate army? Why do I see that their firearms are much better than those of our officers and soldiers?"
Zhang Pan looked at the half-dead braided soldiers, his eyes widened, and the desire for revenge filled his chest.
...
Li Xiao, who was injured in a cavalry outpost battle, came to the city tower with a guard support.
Yin Feng and Zeng Qing and others looked at the battlefield ahead with a serious expression. Li Xiao tried hard to stand up straight: "Li Xiao, deputy commander of the Cavalry Brigade..."
Yin Feng waved his hand and interrupted him: "Why are you here? You'd better go down and rest. The brothers here are doing well, don't worry,"
Li Xiao held the trumpet and looked out, sighing: "Only Li knew today that he could fight like this in war, and fired all with firepower. In this rain of firearms, any individual's bravery is the courage of every man. ”
Yang Dacheng and others happened to be on the gatehouse and shook their heads when they heard this: "Major Li's words are not correct. Although the cavalry in the blue flag is only 2,000, they are in our hot fire network, and they are fearless and will assault to death. There are still hundreds of people who can break through my front-line chest wall formation. If my Second Division had not arranged a reserve team in the back in advance, these cavalry would have caused us a lot of trouble. Moreover, they are only 2,000 cavalry after all, and it is said that there are still close behind. With 8,000 cavalry following, our army is still in crisis.”
Yin Feng nodded, admired Yang Dacheng's calmness and meticulousness, and said, "What Commander Yang said is not bad. If the vanguard officer of the other party did not bump into him indiscriminately, but waited for the main force to come and meet him. If we launch a general attack, we will charge a group of more than 10,000 cavalry. In that case, we will not be able to kill almost all of them in an instant. In this way, we will have to rely on the brothers of the cavalry brigade to fight to kill the enemy."
Li Xiao nodded with a heavy face: "I thought too simple. Yes, if my infantry brothers were not in trouble at the battle and killed the enemy soldiers who broke through the front one by one, even if there were many firearms, it would be It cannot resist the charge of the cavalry group."
Yin Feng pointed to the north: "In this battle, our army has many new recruits, and most of them can still stand attentively in the face of the enemy's cavalry. It can be seen that the training and discipline of our army after the expansion of the army have begun to show results. The sky is approaching and the enemy has not yet. Come on, I guess the decisive battle will have to wait until tomorrow. Although our rainstorm gun is powerful, it takes less than half an hour to load each time. It is a transaction at the end of the battle, so corresponding arrangements must be made in tactical terms."
Yang Daxing said in a sensible way: "By the way, you can imitate the fire formation of our infantry and military muskets and wheels, and arrange for the rainstorm gun to be fired in turn, so that the dense and continuous firepower can be maintained."
Yin Feng laughed: "Yes, go and arrange it quickly. In order to prevent batches of round-rotation shooting, I have issued an order: All the heavy rain guns and light artillery on the Dalian Military Port Fortress in Lushun will be arranged before tomorrow morning. Come to Sanshilipu’s defense line, tomorrow, there will be 100 heavy rain guns concentrated here..."
Li Xiao suddenly asked: "King, what if the Tartars do not attack our position, but attack Jinzhou in a circle, and now the defense line of Jinzhou is empty..."
Yin Feng smiled helplessly: "I have asked Lu Xiaotian's cavalry brigade to divide troops into four to prevent the enemy from sneaking into the straits of the 32-liter defense line at night. At the same time, the reinforcements of the newly formed 6th Division are expected to arrive in Lushun tomorrow. ... According to Zeng Qing's information, the two Bele Amin, who has a blue flag, is a small-minded and irritable guy. He will definitely come to attack Sanshilipu to avenge his vanguard troops. I hope He will come..."
...
Because Amin's main force of the blue flag had plundered too much property a few days ago, he was slow to move until the Arrow's vanguard was completely destroyed, and he still gathered in the original camp. Moreover, Amin personally thought that the pirate army in front was in the front. It may be invincible in naval battles, and it is still possible to fight against the Ming Dynasty's official army in land battles, but there is no chance in front of the Eight Banners Iron Cavalry, so he is not worried about the safety of Alu's troops. He thought that if the vanguard attack was unfavorable, he would take the initiative to leave the battlefield. There is always no problem in protecting, so the main force is not in a hurry to set off.
However, things were completely beyond his expectations...
Amin called more than a dozen survivors from the vanguard troops to the front. Seeing that these people were injured, discarded their armor, and their faces were pale, they all looked at him in panic.
Amin's leader Goshha beat the people up and dragged them to Amin.
Amin asked in his most kind voice: "What the hell is going on? Why did the storm lose in a blink of an eye?"
Several survivors of Arrow's vanguard troops looked at each other for a while, and one of them was brave and said tremblingly: "Report to the banner master: As soon as the war begins, there is a thunderous firearm in front of the pirate army. The little man For some reason, he was immediately knocked down by a bullet. Later, he robbed a horse without a master. After riding it, he saw that all the brothers around him had been knocked down. The villain was frightened and had no choice but to run away... Wan Wang Er Beile Thank you, let’s spare your life, it’s not that we are greedy for life and fear death and dare not fight, but that the pirates’ firearms are too powerful and we can’t fight.”
Several other survivors also kowtowed and pounded garlic: "Give up your life, we know that the main general should die if he loses his life. It is not because we are afraid of death. It is really the enemy's firearms that swept across like thunder and earth as soon as they are activated. , it is really unstoppable... "
Amin finally couldn't bear it anymore, pulled off his kind appearance, jumped up and pointed at the survivors of the vanguard team and cursed: "Mom, you are obviously waiting for your slaves to live and fear death, and escaped at the battle and lost the master general, but he refused to say that the enemy was The firearms are powerful, and there are so many firearms in the Ming Dynasty. The Battle of Sarhu was still swept away by our Eight Banners Iron Cavalry. The pirate army formed by the Southern Barbarians, no matter how many firearms are, can they compare with the Ming Dynasty's official army?"
With Amin's vision and experience, he didn't believe that there would be any firearm in this world that could withstand the assault of the Eight Banners Cavalry.
"Drag and behead them, and the battalions were circulated to show their troops to strictly enforce military discipline,"
The generals under Amin gathered over and asked to fight, demanding to fight immediately to fight against the vanguard.
Amin shook her head, sat in the big tent with her thick body, and shook her hand and said, "It's too late today. Our army will fight at this time. Once we defeat the pirates' army, they can escape in the night. Everyone, Let the soldiers have a full meal and prepare to go south to fight the Pirates tomorrow morning. We have a whole daytime, enough to drive them out of the sea. I will send orders. No living mouth is allowed in the battle tomorrow. Anyone with the accent of the Nanman will be allowed to speak. Kill without any slightest remedy; all locals in Liaodong are slaves and servants..."
...
On a hazy night, thousands of refugees by the sea finally boarded the Chinese army's naval ships. Liu Xiang, a young staff officer who served as the liaison officer of the navy and the old battalion, quickly climbed the Sanshilipu Gate Tower, Xiang Zheng and his generals. Yin Feng, who was gnawing steamed buns, reported: "Reported to the President, the navy has transferred all refugees onto the ship,"
Yin Feng shook his hand and threw two steaming steamed buns to Liu Xiang: "Eat first, I know you ran around and haven't eaten yet."
Liu Xiang excitedly caught the steamed bun and stood attentively, "Yes," he wanted to salute again, but found that he was holding the steamed bun in both hands...
Everyone burst into laughter, and Yin Feng smiled and said, "Eat quickly, let's talk about something else after eating,"
At this moment, within a radius of several miles around Sanshilipu, there were torches, figures coming and going, hoes and shovels rose and fell, and the fortifications of the chest wall were turning into a circle of circular fortifications under the efforts of tens of thousands of labor force temporarily organized. All Chinese soldiers have joined the operation of building fortifications, and a large number of ammunition and weapons are being transported by horse and carriages, and ox carriages are being transported from Jinzhouwei.
