Chapter 184 Ambush Battle (1)
The three thousand white-rod soldiers and the three thousand Zhejiang troops broke into pieces and rushed to a forest five miles south of Fengji Fort to gather. Then Gao Shixin asked them to camp in the nearby snow.
At the same time, the factory guards also made a large-scale activity, almost sweeping away the Hou Jin fine work near Fengji Fort. Originally, there was a sparsely populated place and there was no one. As long as the Hou Jin fine work approached, they were captured by the extremely vigilant factory guards.
In the name of military supervisor, Zhang Yongzhe directed the military households and auxiliary soldiers of the Sichuan Army and the Zhejiang Army, and ordered them to work with the people and strong people in Chenyang City to restore the Chenyang City to confuse the fine works of the Later Jin Dynasty.
The gunpowder workshop in Chenyang City worked overtime and desperately produced gunpowder. After nightfall, the gunpowder was broken into pieces and sent out of Chenyang City and transported it to Fengji area. Under Zhang Yong's command, the auxiliary soldiers and civilians filled the interior with soil, and only a thin layer of gunpowder was carried onto the top of Chenyang City, and at the same time, cannons were set up at key locations at all sides of the city.
The arrangement of the Ming army in Shenyang City confused the fine works of the Later Jin in the city, making them think that the Ming army is ready to defend the city.
The omnipresent Later Jin Xizuo naturally sent all this news to Hetuara City where the wild boar skin was. According to the information sent back by Xizuo, Yuan Yingtai gathered heavy troops near Fushun Pass, and the Ming army left behind in Liaoyang and Shenyang was restoring the city and preparing to stick to the two cities.
When Wild Boar Skin heard the news, he laughed: "Minggou is quite well-informed. There is indeed Aha who is interested in Mingguo in the coat he put back. They leaked the news that we were about to send troops to Mingguo. However, most of Aha is still loyal to the big gold!"
"Ama, be careful that dogs are cheating!" Sibeile Huangtaiji reminded.
Wild Boar Skin smiled and said, "If the Bear Barbarian is stationed in Liaodong, Ben Khan is still worried about fraud. Yuan Yingtai's idiot, why should I be afraid of him? But you are right, let's act carefully and let's explore it carefully and explore the dog's troops."
This time, Wild Boar Skin not only sent Xi Zuo to spy on military information in Fushun Pass, Chenyang and Liaoyang, but also sent people to the Fengji Fort area where he planned to break through.
Not long after, the Later Jin Xizuo, who went to Fengji Fort to spy on military information, came back to report: "Minggou used more than 10,000 civilians to strengthen the Guancheng Military Forts in Fengji Fort and Huangshan Fort."
Upon hearing the news, Wild Boar Skin said disapprovingly: "There is nothing unusual about this. Didn't the castle be restored frequently when Xiong Manzi was there?"
"Minggou reinforced two military forts. Is our army still coming from the Fengji entrance?" asked Manguertai.
"The plan remains unchanged. Minggou's speed of building a military fort is not that fast. Our army must be very quick. We will break through Fengji Fort while Minggou has not yet restored the castle! If the plan is changed, we will fall into a passive position." said the wild boar skin.
In the first year of Tianqi in the Ming Dynasty, on the fifth day of the second month of the sixth year of Tianming in the Dajin Dynasty, the captive chief wild boar skin sent 100,000 troops from Hetuaala, including 20,000 Jurchen soldiers in Jianzhou, 20,000 Jurchen soldiers in the newly recruited Yehe tribe, 10,000 Mongolmen soldiers in Korqin, and 50,000 auxiliary soldiers in Baoyi. They attacked the Fengji Fort, preparing to break through Fengji Fort and invade Ming territory, and then seize the two cities of Chenyang and Liaoyang.
Gao Shixin ambushed a hundred thousand troops with 10,000 troops. This was an adventure. He was betting that he could find an opportunity to shoot the wild boar skin with one arrow! As long as he shot the wild boar skin to death, let alone the 100,000 Jiannu, even 200,000 will be defeated.
However, based on the information sent back by the scouts, we learned that the formation of the Later Jin army march was very long, with the front of the marching cavalry exploring the way, followed by five thousand Korchin Mongolian cavalry, followed by five thousand elite two white flags of Huang Taiji as the vanguard, followed by two blue flags of Mangurtai and Abatai, followed by two yellow flags of the central army with wild boar skin, and two red flags behind the hall. Finally, five thousand Korchin Mongolian cavalry drove away 50,000 auxiliary soldiers in coats and transported food and cannons.
Before the Later Jin army set out, a large number of Mongolian refugees fled into the pass.
Yuan Yingtai actually ordered the opening of the gates of Liaochen and Shenzhou and put Mongolian refugees into the city!
Outside Fengjibao Pass, an army wearing a white cloak came out of the pass overnight and entered the open area between Jiabao Mountain and Wuming Mountain. Then the army hid in the mountains on both sides and hid in the woods about one mile away from the avenue.
At the same time, Zhang Yong led more than 200 factory guards to Huangshan Fort.
"Why is Eunuch Zhang coming?" asked Cao Xiyuan, the guardian of Huangshan Fort.
Zhang Yong sneered: "Jiannu is about to invade, our family is coming to Huangshan Fort to supervise the army! If there are those who escape at the battle, they will be killed without mercy!"
Cao Xiyuan was sweating coldly, and could only salute in a submissive manner: "After the end, the generals will fight to the end, and never retreat!"
"Okay! With General Cao's words, our family will be relieved!" Zhang Yong turned his head and shouted, "Send the order. If the Jiannu army comes, you will not be able to stand and fight at will. Those who violate the order will be killed!"
"No!" Cao Xiyuan responded.
Zhang Yong said again: "General Cao, please order the cavalry to prepare. If the situation changes, if the Fengji Fort on the opposite side defeats Jiannu, you will immediately lead the cavalry to attack Jiannu!"
"promise!"
The army of the Later Jin Dynasty rushed all the way and came straight to Fengji Fort.
On February 16th, the scout cavalry of the Later Jin army had arrived outside Fengji Fort Pass.
"The scout from Jiannu is here! Men, follow me! Kill me!" Man Gui, who was guarding the door, roared.
The door was closed and the suspension bridge was lowered. Man Gui led 300 elite cavalry out of the pass and headed straight for the scout cavalry in the Later Jin Dynasty.
There were only sixteen scouts and cavalrymen coming from the Later Jin Dynasty. Seeing that the Ming army was in great power, they turned their horses and turned around and ran. Man Gui led the cavalry to chase them closely behind, and finally caught up with the three scouts and cavalrymen who were behind, and killed them off their horses and harvested their heads. Man Gui led his army to retreat to Fengji Fort.
Seeing that the cavalry of the Later Jin Dynasty could not lure Man Gui and the others into the ambush circle of the Later Jin Dynasty, they had to turn around and go to Fengji Fort. As a result, Man Gui turned around and pursued. This time, the scout of the Later Jin Dynasty not only did not introduce the Ming cavalry into the ambush circle, but instead lost the two of them. When the Later Jin Dynasty soldiers ran away, Man Gui led his army to turn back.
Just as Man Gui drove away the scout cavalry of the Later Jin Dynasty, the Baigang soldiers who were ambushing one mile away from the official road, the Qi family army and the ambush soldiers in Liaoyang Xinzhen quietly moved forward, and they were only a hundred steps away from the avenue and ambushed again.
The engineers from Liaoyang New Town were dispatched to lay out pottery mines, hair ropes and bamboo tubes in the snow on the official road, and then retreated back to the hillside of Jiabaoshan to ambush and wait.
The detonation methods of these mines are transformed into stretch mines with matches brought back by Zhang Yong from the capital. Without open fire, it will not easily expose its position like a comb, a fire door gun, or an ignition mine. As long as the Later Jin army enters the ambush circle, the ambushed soldiers of Liaoyang Xinzhen only need to pull the fuse, and a series of explosions will occur on the official road.
If ten thousand people want to ambush 100,000, they can only rely on surprise to win.
As for the orders issued by the attack, it was based on the sound of explosion. Zhou Yuji, who was responsible for commanding the battle on behalf of Gao Shixin, held a hair-pulling grenade brought by Zhang Yong in his hand. As long as the time was about the right time, he would pull off the string and throw the grenade out. After hearing the explosion of the grenade, the soldiers in the new town of Liaoyang who were lying on the mines would pull the rope of the mines.
Man Gui and the others and the scouts and cavalry of the Later Jin Dynasty went back and forth several times, covering the arrangement of the ambush circle, and erasing the traces of thunder buried on the snow at the mines.
The scout cavalry of the Later Jin Dynasty turned around again, and Man Gui and the others chased after him again. Seeing this, the Later Jin soldiers immediately turned around and ran away. Man Gui chased after him for a while, then pulled his horse back.
"Han Gou Barbarian! Why are you looking back? Don't dare to chase grandpa?" The scout cavalry of the Later Jin army chased after him and followed behind and cursed.
Man Gui stopped and asked a cavalryman who knew Jurchen to scold him: "Slave, I want to introduce me into your ambush circle! Do you think your grandpa is stupid?"
