Chapter 350 Kill the Tartars and catch Huang Taiji!
"Brothers, thank you for your hard work," said Fenda Bashku who came to greet him with a smile. He leaned closer and glanced a few times and found that the troops seemed to be inappropriate.
When in the distance, there is no problem looking at the shaking fire. He has a pointed helmet and is wearing a cotton armor with sponge bubbles. But when you look closely, you can immediately see the problem.
These people claimed to be the vanguard of Prince Li Daishan, but they were all Han people and had no hair shaved.
"Which flag are you from and which general?" The name Tadao Bashku shouted sternly.
"We are under the command of Jiutouniao, under the command of Duke Chu, the governor outside the Ming Pass!" The officer on the opposite side replied with a smile.
The Qing army was shocked and opened its mouth and was about to shout.
But in the flash of lightning, a spear had already stabbed behind the knight opposite. When he was caught off guard, he instantly stabbed his throat, blocking the shout he wanted to exhale.
Almost at the same time, one sharp arrow after another shot out from behind, shooting the Qing cavalry of the small team into a hedgehog, and even destroying the people.
Almost in a moment, the team was destroyed.
Liu Yunsheng looked at the corpse on the ground, then looked up at the camp opposite, and a team of Qing soldiers in front of the camp, shouting coldly, "Brothers, follow me! Kill the enemy camp and kill Huang Taiji!"
"Kill Huang Taiji!"
There is no need to hide its identity anymore. The Qing army at the camp gate has seen them killing the team of Qing cavalry cleanly and is trying hard to blew the alarm.
The Chu army came, the marines of the Beiyang Fleet of Jiutou. They were led by Liu Yunsheng, the general of the Beiyang Fleet. After receiving the order from Liu Jun, they drove into the Liao River from the sea, and then landed on the west bank of the Liao River not far from the south of Huangtaiji Camp, and rushed all the way.
Liu Jun is definitely not easy to play tricks.
The Tartars who died with their eyes open and lie on the ground were the first to get the most out of this.
Not far from the east bank of the Liao River, Liu Jun was looking at the other side of the river. Without the cold wind whistling, Liu Jun remained still. What appeared under the city of Liaoyang was not Liu Jun, but Liu Jun's commanding flag. Liu Jun went north from Haizhou. As soon as he walked halfway, he received a report from the General Staff Military Information Department. He learned that Huang Taiji had only brought 5,000 troops to Liaoyang and stopped advancing on the west bank of the Liao River for temporary stops, waiting for Dai Shan to lead the army to reinforce. Liu Jun had already planned to do a ruthless vote.
It is not only the Tartars who besiege the city and attack the aid.
I heard that Nurhaci conquered the world entirely because of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Liu Jun planned to teach his little boy for him and know what military tactics are.
Whether it is to surround Wei and save Zhao or to siege the city and fight for help, in any case, it is right to win.
"Governor, can we really capture Huang Taiji alive?"
Fu Shan stood behind Liu Jun and said excitedly that this battle was a bold action. If it was successful, it would be possible to capture or kill Huang Taiji alive. Just thinking about it, Fu Qingzhu was so excited that he couldn't calm down.
"Everyone can make mistakes." Liu Jun smiled. "Huang Taiji is also a human being, and he can make mistakes. As long as we catch the mistakes he made, it is not impossible to capture Huang Taiji."
"Can we defeat them?" Fu Shan asked again.
During the Battle of Daling River, Huang Taiji encountered the reinforcements of the Ming army. At that time, there were only more than 200 cavalry around him, but he defeated the 6,000 reinforcements of the Ming army. Now Huang Taiji has 5,000 troops and horses.
"Be more confident in yourself."
Although Liu Jun was very calm, he was actually quite excited. This was a bold action. Under the city of Liaoyang were part of the Chu army and Kong Youde and other surrendered troops. He made a bluff of confusion about Haoge in the city, making him afraid to leave the city.
The four assistants led by Liu Jun were coming to besiege Huang Taiji, of which two assistants took naval warships to disguise Qing reinforcements on the west bank of the Liaohe River. Liu Jun led two assistants on the east bank.
"It's almost time, prepare to cross the river." Liu Jun looked at the sky.
"Come on crossing the river now? There is no movement on the other side!" said Chief of Staff Wang Qian.
"No more waiting." Liu Jun believes that Liu Yunsheng and the others will arrive on schedule. In other words, if Liu Jun waits until there is movement and crosses the river, he will be afraid that Liu Yunsheng and the others will not be able to surround Huang Taiji by then.
Qing army camp on the west bank of the Liao River.
The shrill sound of the alarm whimpered over the camp.
"Enemy attack, enemy attack!"
"Mingjun is here!"
"Nine-headed bird raid!"
Various shouts came one after another, and the Qing army was caught off guard and frightened. For many years, the Ming army had always been afraid of the Qing army, and now, the Qing army also had fear of the Chu army that they had never met before.
The Chu army's invincible courage in the attack made the Qing army deeply afraid.
When the Chu army suddenly came to the west from the impossible appearance, the Qing army was really surprised.
Liu Yunsheng brought two military troops with him, with a total of 10,000, one of which was the Navy Marine Corps and the other was the Army. Both military troops were equipped with horses. Since the trade with Wu Sangui, the Chu army now has a lot of horses.
For the raid tonight, these infantry troops strengthened their equipment.
Each person is equipped with double armor, inner and outer chain mail, cotton armor. Each person is equipped with a long flintlock gun, two cavalry guns, and a round shield is immediately hung, with a spear and waist knife. Each person is also hung with a sleeve bayonet around his waist. At critical moments, bayonets can be used to play with white blades.
In addition, in order to make up for the inconvenience of the assault, and insufficient firepower, each soldier also carried four grenades weighing a pound.
In addition, a batch of split mountain meadows were also carried.
At this time, Abatai hurriedly ran to Huang Taiji to report, "The enemy attacked, the Ming army, the Chu army, the nine-headed bird."
"Why are you panic? Tell me clearly where the enemy attacks came from, how many people?" When Huang Taiji heard the alarm, he got up immediately and had already put on his armor.
"There were about tens of thousands of people coming from the west to Jinzhou. They were the Ming army, who fought the Jiutou Bird Banner and Liu Jiye's soldiers."
"Are you all idiots? The Ranger Detective? How can the enemy get to the camp all the way!" Huang Taiji shouted angrily.
Other Qing generals who rushed to hear the news heard that there were thousands of Ming troops coming. Although they were surprised, they were not afraid.
"But ten thousand Ming troops dare to come over, they are really looking for death!"
Huang Taiji glared at the man and cursed the reckless man inwardly. Since the Nine-Headed Bird can kill ten thousand people from the west, it will never be the only one of the troops attacking.
"Prepare, let's fight out and leave here." Huang Taiji said in a deep voice.
"Leave here?" Abatai asked in confusion. It was dark and it was unclear. There was still a camp here. Why did you leave here and where would you go?
"We'll go back to Jinzhou." Huang Taiji said quickly, "I guess there must be more Ming troops going to the east. It's not advisable to stay here for a long time. We retreat to Jinzhou first and talk to Daishan and others."
The Qing army's camp was just a temporary camp, and only a short horse-resisting wall was set up around the camp tent.
"dismount!"
Liu Yunsheng rushed outside the horse-rejecting wall with his men. He did not immediately rush into the camp, but instead ordered to dismount. It was unwise to hedge against the Qing army at night. Liu Yunsheng did not make any mistakes. He ordered a gun formation outside the camp to block the west side of the camp, and began to let the gunners accompanying the army quickly unload the mountain grenades from the horse and start assemble them.
"Follow me!" A Qing army general yelled, and he rushed out of the camp with a team of cavalry that had gathered together quickly. He was ready to teach these southern barbarians who dared to collide with the emperor of the Qing Dynasty.
"Prepare the musket!" Liu Yunsheng stood under the banner in the formation, and looked at the camp fire, and a Qing cavalry rushed out, but made a cold snorting voice.
The flintlock guns that had been loaded were raised and aimed at the rushing enemy cavalry.
On both sides of the gun array are two mountain howitzers that have just been assembled.
"Shucking bullet, put it!"
There were only one mountain grenades, and these lightweight and disassembled mountain grenades were very light. Each of the four-pound guns was only fifty-five kilograms, and each of the eight-pound guns was only one hundred and ten kilograms. The twelve-pound one was only one hundred and sixty-seven kilograms. Moreover, this kind of mountain grenade can be disassembled and assembled. Even a twelve-pound mountain grenade can be disassembled and assembled after disassembling, two horses can be pulled and run, and even carried a lot of shells.
"Architecture? Damn it! How could they have artillery!"
The Qingqi, who rushed out, suddenly heard the howling sound of cannons. In the dark night sky, the shrapnel flails were passing by in the air, and the extremely obvious fuse fireworks they carried were so dazzling.
Many Qing cavalry were a little surprised and inexplicably. Where did the Ming army get the artillery fire? How could they still carry artillery?
This is not right, it shouldn't be!
Countless shrapnel in the sky were like falling meteor showers, covering the rushing out of Qingqi.
When the shrapnel was more than meter away from the ground, the set fuse burned out and shells exploded in the sky. With the loud bang, balls of fireworks scattered.
These air-exploding shrapnel shot out countless shotguns, and the Qing cavalry that had just rushed out immediately suffered a catastrophe.
The Qing general who rushed in front was instantly hit by more than a dozen small cannons. Although he was wearing double armor, he still could not escape the fate of death under so many such dense shotgun attacks.
Several blood holes were made on his body and he fell off his horse.
After a round of cannon bombardment, Liu Yunsheng immediately ordered the two-wing artillery array to slightly slight artillery fire in the camp. "Boom, bang hard, use shoveling bullets to explode all airborne."
Not far away, on the bank of the Liao River, the Jiutou Niao Navy's troop transport ship was docking.
"Supervisor, listen, the sound of cannons!"
"Haha, the fight has started. Send orders to speed up. Let's kill the Tartars and catch Huang Taiji!" Liu Jun shouted.
"Kill the Tartars and catch Huang Taiji!"
On the shore, one after another, nine-headed warriors jumped off the boat, not afraid of the cold river water in winter, and rushed to the shore with water.
"Kill the Tartars and catch Huang Taiji!"
The fierce artillery fire stunned the Qing army, and Huang Taiji was also confused.
How could the Ming army have so many artillery? This is not right. Such fierce artillery must be at least a thousand kilograms of cannons, and at least hundreds of cannons. How did the Nine-headed Birds do it? They rushed over and how could they still bring so many thousand kilograms of cannons with the army?
Something was wrong, something was wrong, what was wrong, what was wrong? Huang Taiji was avoiding the air-burning shells flying from time to time on his head, while thinking in confusion.
"Let's break through the east!" After thinking for a long time, Huang Taiji didn't think of any reason. In the end, he felt that it was his previous judgment that something was wrong. The enemy outside was not a partial division of the Ming army, but the main force led by Liu Jiye himself. They tried to bypass the Liaohe River and came from the west.
Since Liu Jiye went around to the west, he had to break through from the east.
"Run east, rush!" (To be continued.)
