Five Niu Lu changed to Zhang Zhun

At this moment, someone rushed over. It was the scout captain Ge Dehong. He reported to Maobali with a dark expression. He said that it was the hundreds of scouts he sent out, and in the end there were less than thirty. All the others had no news, and it was very likely that they were killed by the cold gun of the Hu Ben Army. Those scouts were his treasures. Now that the losses are so serious, Ge Dehong's mind is almost numb.

Maobali said in disbelief again, "Only more than thirty people have come back?"

Gedhong looked depressed and his face was desolate. He was obviously hit hard and didn't even want to speak. However, he had to force himself to lift up and said in a crying voice: "Yes, no one else came back, neither came back."

Maobali felt that his heart was suddenly squeezed by someone, and he felt uncomfortable. He wanted to vomit, but he couldn't. His chest was blocked and he was so blocked. The scout team of more than 100 people only came back, which was simply...

It should be noted that all the scouts of the Great Jin army were carefully selected. Although there were no white-armored soldiers in it, their combat power was quite strong. People from later generations knew that the combat power of the reconnaissance company and the like were the best, and the same was true for the Great Jin army. Once these scouts were placed in ordinary troops, as long as they fought a few battles, they would easily accumulate military achievements and become white-armored soldiers. Now, there were no more people, and even Ajige was heartbroken.

What kind of monster is the Hu Ben Army in Dongjiabao? It has devoured the lives of so many Jin army warriors. Does this Zhang Zhun have more powerful abilities than shamans? The Hu Ben Army is also composed of Ming people, so why is it completely different from other Ming troops?

Sure enough, Ajige was indeed heartbroken. Of course, the losses of nearly a hundred scouts cannot be ignored. They are all elites and backbone forces. However, he is the lord of Zhenghongqi after all. As the lord, he must be able to withstand casualties. He waved his hand vigorously and said gloomyly: "Call everyone back! Prepare to launch an attack!"

Both Maubali and Gedehong were slightly stunned. Before the situation was fully understood, Ajige was about to launch an attack. Then he realized that Ajige was angry. Even if he paid a considerable price, Ajige would destroy Zhang Zhun.

Sure enough, Ajig waved his hand and refused to allow them to speak, and said coldly: "Call all the Jialazhangjing and Niulu Zhangjing, I will issue an order to attack."

Maobali hurriedly sent an order.

Soon, all the officers of the Tartars arrived one after another.

"Zhang Zhun is in Dongjiabao! I'm going to attack Dongjiabao!"

"Kill Zhang Zhun and reward three thousand taels of gold! Give Niulu Zhang Jing!"

"Catch Zhang Zhun alive and give him 10,000 taels of gold! Give him a gift from Jiala Zhangjing!"

"Now, you go back immediately and be prepared for a full-scale attack!"

Aji's concise and loud voice was announced.

The pre-war mobilization of the Tartars was very simple. Most of the Tartar officers were veterans who had experienced many battles. As long as they knew some basic information, they would do the rest themselves. Therefore, after Azig finished speaking, the Tartar officers dispersed and went back to prepare.

"Maubali, come here!"

Ajige called Maobali and carefully studied the defense system of the Hu Ben Army.

Dongjiabao, Caojiabao, Liujiabao, and the three forts seem to be three Tuotuo, with only twenty miles apart. In military terms, they are like horns. There are fortifications built by the Hu Ben Army around each Tuotuo, and a large number of military camps have been built. If you attack from the middle of the two Tuotuo, you will definitely be attacked by both sides. If you are blocked by the Hu Ben Army and cannot get out, it will be troublesome.

Therefore, the best way is to take down Dongjiabao first. The position of Dongjiabao is the most prominent and is easiest to exert the power of the Taurus cavalry and cavalry. The surrounding terrain is also the widest, and the most troops can be deployed. All of this is beneficial to the Jin army. As long as Dongjiabao is captured, the triangular structure of the Tiger Ben Army will no longer exist.

To be honest, Ajige really doesn't want to attack the city. The strategy of the Great Jin army has always been to pick persimmons and is not very necessary, and will not easily fight the enemy to the death. It seems that in a strong city like Jinzhou, the Great Jin army has always just raided and never acted seriously. This is also the main reason why the Great Jin army is keen on invading. Because after entering the invasion, entering the core hinterland of the Ming Kingdom, they can freely choose the target of attack, do whatever they want, and do whatever they want.

The problem is that Zhang Zhun, the evil thief, is now in Dongjiabao. If Ajige does not attack the city, he will definitely not be able to catch this guy. To attack the city, he will have to pay a price, which is inevitable. Now Zhang Zhun is like an old ginseng growing in a thorn jungle. If you want to dig it out, you must first clean up all the thorns around. During the process of cleaning the thorns, you may be scratched if you are not careful.

"Maubali, do you think we want to attack the city?"

Ajig asked with a gloomy face.

"Master Beile...this..."

Maobali was also a little hesitant.

It seems that Dongjiabao is indeed not easy to chew. He estimated that with the combat effectiveness of the Jin army, there will definitely be no problem in fighting. The problem is that before the battle is completed, there may be a lot of casualties. The worst thing is that all the people involved in the attack are Zhenghongqi, one less death. Even if they can win in the end, Zhenghongqi's losses will probably be huge.

Maobali also knew about the battle between the senior officials of the Great Jin Dynasty. It was hard to say this, and it could only be understood but not expressed in words. Now, the Zhengbai Banner and the Inlaid White Banner have been weakened to the bottom due to the trap of Dorgon and Duoduo. Even if they barely exist, these two banners can only watch others lively for a long time in the future. The Zhenghong Banner was not strong in its original strength. If they lost a part of it, they might become the Zhengbai Banner and the Inlaid White Banner were at the bottom.

It would be great if there were Mongolian cavalry or servants. In the past, the Great Jin army attacked the city, and the Great Jin army basically took the lead, and the Great Jin army was behind. Every time Ajige thought of this, he couldn't help but curse Huang Taiji quietly. If he had transferred thousands of Mongolian cavalry or servants, the situation would not be so bad. Even if there was nothing, it would be good to give him thousands of Han military flags. This time, the two lackeys, Shang Kexi and Geng Zhongming, also came.

Seeing that Maobali did not answer, obviously jealous of Huang Taiji's majesty, Ajige asked in another way: "Maobali, how many great records do you think Zhang Zhun is worth?"

Maobali thought carefully and said tentatively: "Five ones. Maybe ten ones may be."

Azig said slowly, "Five? Are you sure?"

Maobali said affirmatively: "If you can kill this guy with five Niulu, I think King Khan is willing to do it."

Ajige shook his palm hard and said sternly: "Okay! Let's exchange five Niulu for Zhang Zhun's life!"

Maobali regretted it again and said hesitantly: "Master Beile, should you wait for the Khan to come?"

Ajige said firmly: "No more waiting! Let's launch an attack immediately! If we can't catch the red flag, we will be attacked!"

When Ajige said this, he didn't think there was anything wrong, and his tone was very natural. But to Maobali, it was very harsh. What does it mean that if the Zhenghong Banner cannot be eaten, and if others can do it? That is to say, Ajige's subconscious mind already felt that it was possible to be defeated? This is unprecedented.

In the past, Zhenghongqi participated in the battle and had never been able to slap the enemy. Only the Jinzhou defense line was an exception. Even if the Jin Kingdom tried its best to attack, it might not be able to be taken. This time, Zhenghongqi fought all the way, Zunhua, Yutian, Xianghe, and Ming towns of all sizes, and none of them could stop the pace of Zhenghongqi. But in front of this small, unknown Dongjiabao, Ajige, who was known for his bravery, actually felt that he might be defeated? It was really incredible.

Azig obviously did not feel that his subconscious had changed, and he shouted heavily: "Turkun!"

Turkun hurried over and said sternly: "Master Bell, what are your instructions?"

Azig shouted in a deep voice: "You attack from the north!"

Turkun replied sternly: "Abide by the order!"

Azig shouted again, "Go to Yinda!"

Another Jiala Zhangjing hurried over and said solemnly: "As far as Master Beile's orders."

Azig shouted, "You attack from the south!"

Baiyindali hurriedly replied: "Abide by the order!"

There are only four Jialas in Zhenghong Banner, each of which commands five Niulu, with a total of twenty Niulu troops. Ajige dispatched two Jialas in one breath, with a total of ten Niulu troops. It was indeed a relatively large effort to invest in the first wave of attacks. In previous attacks, the Jin army had not tried it, and half of its troops were deployed on the first attack.

There are more than 2,000 people in total. With the ability of the Tartar cavalry, if the war situation is not good, there should be no problem to withdraw. Even if half of the people die, the loss will be only five people. If you run faster, the loss may be less than five people.

This also shows that Ajige is still a bit conservative. He dare not put all the troops of Zhenghongqi into it. If it were other Ming troops, Ajige would definitely attack the entire army. However, when facing the Hu Ben Army, Ajige did not dare to exchange five Niulu for Zhang Zhun's life, which Ajige could do. But if he had to pay a greater price, he would not do it.

Zhang Zhun was not just an enemy of Zhenghong Banner, he was the enemy of the entire Jin Dynasty. It was not just him who wanted to capture Zhang Zhun. There were also a large number of senior officials of the Jin Dynasty who wanted to kill Zhang Zhun alive. In fact, when Zhang Zhun was making trouble, the one who was most embarrassed was Huang Taiji, not Dorgon. In other words, the person who hated Zhang Zhun the most was not Dorgon, but Huang Taiji.

Dorgon accidentally capsizes the ship in the gutter. At worst, he doesn't have to be the master of the White Banner. Go home and work unemployed to wait for a comeback. Huang Taiji is different. He is the Khan of the Great Jin Kingdom. The loss of the Great Jin army has affected the foundation of the Great Jin Kingdom. If he does not get rid of Zhang Zhun as soon as possible, he will be more trouble in the Great Jin Kingdom in the future.

After the order was conveyed, the Tartars, who were in the red flag, began to mobilize frequently. The atmosphere around Dongjiabao suddenly became tense. The officers of the Hu Ben Army saw all this in the Qianli Miles Miles and looked very solemn. Everyone knew that the Tartars were preparing to launch a large-scale attack. Therefore, everyone on the Hu Ben Army was on high alert and just waiting for the Tartars to rush forward.

"The artillery battalion is not allowed to fire!"

"Disable explosive packs!"

Zhang Zhun reminded the officers of Dingying Camp.

The first wave of attacks by the Tartars could not be very fierce. Zhang Zhun believed that Ajige did not understand his foundation, and his first wave of attacks was more of a test of his own reality. Of course, it is not ruled out that Ajige was a bit gambling mentality, and might think that Dongjiabao was an empty shell and an empty city plan. If you were a red cannon and explosives pack, you might be scared to the Tartars so much that they dared to come again.

This is a good dish, and you have to taste it slowly before it can taste it. Ajige was just the first batch of Tartars to go south, and there are still many Tartars to go south in the future. If the Hu Ben Army throws out all the magic weapons and waits for Huang Taiji to come, there will be no good things to entertain others. As the master, you must be warm and hospitable, right?

The main force of the Hu Ben Army participating in the war was of course the Dingzi Camp stationed in Dongjiabao.

There are currently four associations in Dingzi Battalion, each of which has five squads, with a total of twenty squads. If the officers are not counted, there are a total of one thousand soldiers. If the officers and logistics personnel are counted, there will be about one thousand three hundred. Relatively speaking, the troops are still very strong.

Although Zhang Zhun was in Dongjiabao, he was responsible for combat command, and Yang Zixuan, the commander of the Ding Battalion. According to Zhang Zhun's intention, Yang Zixuan divided the troops into pieces to defend. Among the four associations, one association was the reserve team. The other three associations were responsible for three directions. To the west of Dongjiabao, the place where the most violent attacks of the Tartars was the association commanded by Huang Liang.

"Wei Ran!"

"Zhao Yuchen!"

Huang Liang shouted loudly at the name of the team.

Dongjiabao is the highlight of the entire defense system of the Hu Ben Army, and the position of the defense of Commander Huang Liang's assistant is just the highlight of the highlight. Among them, the two teams of Wei Ran and Zhao Yuchen, the defense position is the most important and the pressure is under the greatest. In other words, these two teams may have the greatest casualties.

Don’t underestimate the Tatars’ cavalry and shooting. When they were in Huang County, the Hu Ben Army suffered more than 200 casualties, most of which were shot to death by the Tatars’ arrowheads. The Tatars attacking Huang County did not have many war horses, but just walked close to the city wall. Now, all the Tatars are cavalry. This can be described in a simple sentence: If the Tatars enter the range of bows and arrows and you do not knock down the opponent in time, then you may be the one who falls down.

Therefore, the best way to save one's life is to block the Tartars outside the range of the bow and arrow. In other words, it is to block the Tartars twenty feet away. It is quite difficult to do this. Especially when Zhang Zhun is not allowed to use cannons. They can only rely solely on the Minni bullets of the Tiger Bon gun to block the Tartars' approach.

"Is there any problem?"

After Huang Liang arranged the task, he asked loudly.

"No!"

Wei Ran and Zhao Yuchen both answered loudly.

"good!"

Huang Liang nodded and turned around and left.

After a while, Zhang Zhun came to the front line and checked his combat readiness again. As a result, he had no place to supplement, so he quietly retreated. After the last time he was shot, Zhang Zhun consciously asked himself to retreat a little and avoid the Tartars' rain of arrows. If he, the highest commander, was inexplicably attacked by the Tartars, the one who was suffering would not be himself, but the entire Tiger Army.

"Da da da da!"

"Da da da da!"

"Da da da da!"

Outside Dongjiabao, the sound of horse hooves of the Tartars was very messy.

The large group of Tartars began to move to the north. Another group of Tartars began to move to the south. More Tartars continued to be stationed in the original camp. Judging from the observed situation, the Tartars that drove to the north and south were about five Niulu. If they were not mistaken, the attacking forces put in by the Tartars were ten Niulu, about three thousand people.

Ajige's arrangement did disappoint Zhang Zhun a little. The legendary Ajige has always been brave but not resourceful, so why did he become so cautious in front of the Hu Ben Army? Even if all of the Tartars of the Ten Niulu were killed, it would only replicate the achievements of Huang County. What's more, they might not be able to be killed. If the situation is wrong, the Tartars would definitely turn around and run away. The most optimistic situation is to eliminate half of the Tartars, that is, five Niulu. If they are not done well, they may at most kill a thousand people.

Damn, this Ajige is so stingy. There are obviously twenty Niulu, but he is unwilling to send all of them out. Why did he keep so many Niulu? Is it moldy? I deserved to be bullied by Huang Taiji. Compared to Dorgon's entire army, Ajige is indeed too stingy. How can such a stingy person be the slave chief of the Tartars?

If Ajige learned Zhang Zhun’s idea, he would definitely be out of breath. Do you think he doesn’t want to make a big deal? Do you think he doesn’t want to be suppressed by the entire army? The problem is, he is unsure! Since contacting the Hu Ben Army, many elite soldiers have died, but they have not even touched the Hu Ben Army’s butt. Do you think Ajige dares to suppress all of them in the face of such a situation? If the entire army is wiped out, his three brothers will never have a chance to turn the tables.

Yang Zixuan frowned and said, "Sir, it seems that the Tartars want to attack Dongjiabao on both sides."

Zhang Zhun nodded and said calmly: "The original plan remains unchanged."

He estimated that the first wave of attacks by the Tatars would not be direct attacks, but flying around the city. This term was invented by Zhang Zhun himself. Its meaning was that the Tatars would use high speed to pass through the flanks of Dongjiabao and then shoot arrows at Dongjiabao. The purpose of this was to reduce the vitality in the city and also to shock the defenders in the city.

Once the morale and firepower of the defenders in the city are suppressed, the Tartar infantry will surge up like a tide and launch a real siege. To use later terms, the Tartars' flying roundabouts means a bit of fire suppression, which is equivalent to the original artillery bombardment.

Don’t underestimate the tactics of the Tartars. Facts have proved that this tactics of the Tartars have been tried and tested. The Tartars’ archery skills are very accurate and can easily shoot targets on the city wall, but the defenders on the city wall are difficult to hit the high-speed moving Tartars. One rises and the other falls, and the morale of the defenders is indeed easily hit.
