[Red Mansions] The Road to Empress Dowager

The army of the Northern Expedition led by Xing Xiuyan finally passed that difficult road, and fortunately, the "Military Intelligence/Bureau" personnel led by Ouyang Lei and Chun Yubai worked in the early stage.After Ouyang Lei and Chun Yubai left Sichuan, they established this department, and now they are directly responsible to the empress.

No one is more suitable to be military agents than Ouyang Lei and Chun Yubai. They are highly skilled in martial arts.They also have some apprentices, and they also have connections with Jianghu, so they can ask for help when necessary.

Xing Xiuyan asked about Siping's situation. He heard that there were about [-] elite cavalry stationed in Siping from the Xianghong Banner, and [-] strong men from the Sauron Banner.

"I'm incompetent, and I can't get the exact figures. Most of these things are known to the common people. The main reason is that there are few Jurchen people among us who speak well. We can only communicate with Han people and Mongolians." Chunyu Bai said.

"How about the Mongols?"

Ouyang Lei said: "Actually, there are a lot of Mongolians in Siping. Everyone knows that they are not well-intentioned. Over the years, they have made a lot of money by reselling goods to Houjin."

Xing Xiuyan couldn't help curling the corners of his mouth coldly, more Mongolian men have been running business for a long time, so they won't be as brave as they used to be.They have always known that the Horqin Department has made a lot of money by pleasing both sides, and they would not have the present life without anyone.

Chunyu Bai said: "Madam, if we are fighting against the Xianghong Banner, it will be very troublesome for the Mongols to intervene. They don't guard the city. They are on horseback. No matter how good our firearms are, we can't catch up with them."

Ouyang Lei said: "Also, if the Jurchens escape to Mongolia, we will not be able to achieve the goal of annihilation."

Xing Xiuyan said: "My primary goal this time was to seize the city, not annihilation. After taking the city, I will use it as a stronghold, completely block it, and close the door. As long as the emperor stirs up chaos in the south, We will be invincible. As long as the emperor wins in the south, even if we have a harder time defending, we can still use politics to solve the evil Mongolia."

Chunyu Bai said: "Now I am more worried about...supply. Whether it is food, grass or ammunition, it will be very difficult for our large troops to arrive in Siping before they take down Shenyang. Once the shells are used, our army's combat effectiveness will not be enough." Jurchen opponent."

Xing Xiuyan said: "So we need a blitzkrieg, to take the city and rest, to make a quick decision, and to plan and use it when defending the city."

"What about the food and grass?"

Xing Xiuyan said: "There are difficulties, and there is no way out. In the past, Sichuan was forced to die by local corrupt officials and bullies, and then the White Lotus Sect revolted. As a result, Sichuan has changed. Whether it is Dazhou or Houjin, it is the same. Mobilize the Han people at the bottom to rebel against the bannermen and distribute the land to them. The former traitors dare to take Joe, and you don’t have to be polite. They will kill them with whatever moral hat they like. Propaganda must be in place for this matter, and history should not be left to chance. Let those traitors talk nonsense, and expose their interests and despicable people. Then you do it, and then let Zhang Hu send some experienced people to you. Those who achieve great things, sacrifices are inevitable."

Landlords and banner families must have food, and merchants always have a lot of goods piled up.After three months, Tu Yuanyi should be able to finish his work.

……

On this day, the army finally got out of the difficult wheat fields, paddy fields, small hills and depressions. In order to prevent the firearms and shells from getting wet, the soldiers suffered a lot.However, a lot of shells were still lost, which made the soldiers burst into tears.

On this day, they finally arrived at the Guandao, hurried northward, passed through Tieling, and there was a blitzkrieg where the more bullied the less. At that time, there was only one Jiala stationed in Tieling, and there were some supporting Han troops.In this era, Hong Tai failed to successfully establish the Eight Banners of the Han Army, and the opposition at that time was too strong.

Because there is no competition in the Central Plains, there is no lower-status Han people in the Central Plains as the underlying foundation, and every feudal dynasty needs to exploit another group.

This contradiction cannot be passed on to the Han people in the Central Plains. The pre-Ming Han people outside the customs or the Han people captured in the war between the two dynasties became the material supply basis and slavery objects for the privileges of the Jurchen Eight Banners.

That Jiala cavalryman was quite brave, but his flesh and blood couldn't resist the firepower of a division of the Sichuan Army.The large army quickly entered the city, and a thousand Han troops surrendered quickly. Xing Xiuyan asked Zhang Hu to send a battalion to recruit the surrendered Han troops.And pick out a few capable people to prepare to collect food and grass,

Among them, those who know how to practice.Therefore, the families of the bannerman uncles and well-known businessmen and wealthy households in the Tieling area were brutally poisoned.This is an unjust act, but before the end of the war, all of this is very realistic. On the contrary, the Jurchens are only more cruel to the Han people.

The engineering teams of the Yellow Shirt Army and the New Army are actively repairing Tieling City. This is not a big city, but it is also an important gateway to the north of Shenyang, but Tieling is not easy to defend.Xing Xiuyan only left one division of troops to pretend to encircle Shenyang, while leading the rest of the soldiers to rush northward.

The Shenyang side soon found out that this large army had detoured and raided to the rear, and their strength was also stretched.Jin Hongli also felt that the other side was going to besiege the capital in one fell swoop, and held a tight military meeting, on the one hand preparing for the battle at the city level, and on the other hand sending envoys for peace.Losing Zhenglan, Zhengbai, and Xianghuang flags so quickly, plus last year's Xianglan flag, and having a higher understanding of Dazhou Firearms, a very heroic emperor, than ordinary people.

In this way, he did not dare to send a large force to attack Tieling easily. A small number of spies went out and spent four or five days back and forth to find out the news.Jin Hongli secretly thought that it was not good, he guessed the opponent's strategic intention, and hurriedly used Costin to bring out the news, telling Xianghongqi to guard Siping no matter what.

Losing Tieling, they can still find a way to detour, but because southern Liaoning has been completely blocked by Dazhou, if they lose Siping, they will not be able to get in or get out. Hehe Dajin is really going to go back into the old forest of Senshan .

The days in the Northeast in early summer are already very long, and the Western watch is more than seven o'clock, and the sky is still very bright, and the army who has been in a hurry for a day should also rest.

The platoon leader Tu Chang took the soldiers in his platoon to carefully inspect his "tools of livelihood", which were the five-squatting mortar and the two base (120 rounds) of shells it carried. Now there was only one It's all over.Nine rounds were knocked out on the battlefield, and eleven rounds were damaged on the road. It was an irresistible accident when passing through the swamp.But their platoons are still very good, and a few platoons have not even retained a base.This brought the platoon to the high praise of the battalion.

To be able to do this, not only did they regard cannons and bullets more important than their own lives, but more importantly, even when there was no war, Tu Chang still obsessively required all members of his platoon to check the cannons and all the bullets. The guns/ammunitions carried are inspected three times a day.

After the inspection, Tu Chang sat next to the soil bag, looking at the beautiful sunset, the vast grassland, and the lush forest in the distance, he couldn't help feeling a lot of thoughts.

The monkey sat beside him and said, "Platoon leader, do you... miss Her Royal Highness?"

Tu Chang: ...

Her Royal Highness has been to their army and this artillery battalion, and she looks at the youngest platoon leader with admiration.If you don't look carefully, or under the influence of your mindset, you won't be able to see that the two look alike.After all, Tu Yuanyuan resembles Xing Xiuyan in seven parts, while Tu Chang only looks a part or two in mother, more like father.If it was Tu Xu, I'm afraid it would be easier to recognize him.

The monkey said: "Platoon leader, I actually support you. I just said that you really have nothing to say about your looks. Even if you come from a merchant, you don't necessarily have a chance. I heard that in Sichuan, the empress doesn't care about people's background. If you make a lot of military exploits, you will become a son-in-law in the future..."

Tu Chang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he pushed away the monkey sticking to him and said, "Get lost."

Heizi suddenly laughed and said: "I heard that the princess is not a good friend. The prince who built a slave was beheaded by her without blinking an eye. Although she is unparalleled in bravery and looks like a fairy, I don't think she is a good friend." It's hard to keep her down."

But Hou Zi is a fanatic who firmly supports Tu Chang as the son-in-law, saying: "No matter how honorable Your Highness Princess Ren is, our platoon leader is also a young hero. He is only 14 years old and has become a platoon leader. He is still a scholar and has both civil and military skills. Look again The face of our platoon leader, does it mean that the big girl and the little daughter-in-law will fall down at the sight of it?"

Tu Chang felt two-dimensional sweat appearing on his forehead, and watched the monkey's paws support his chin.

Tu Chang slapped his hand away and said, "Don't stretch out your claws!"

Li Yin, who was the most upright and heroic besides Tu Chang, said: "You guys dare to dream this kind of dream, but that is Her Royal Highness, the most beloved little daughter of the saint and empress."

Heizi chuckled and said, "Princesses want to marry too. I heard people say that the princesses of the Ming Dynasty also married civilians. Our platoon leader can definitely do it! Besides, our platoon leader I talked to the princess, and I can see that Her Royal Highness is very happy. The princess is not immune to this girl Huaichun..."

Tu Chang secretly rolled his eyes, and said, "Heizi, I advise you in good conscience, when you mention the princess, don't use words like 'girl Huaichun'."

Tu Yuanyuan is talented and intelligent, and she has also learned the cruelty of a soldier, but she still has the shyness and awkwardness of an ordinary girl when it comes to matters such as marriage. If you say these things to her in this period, you will turn your face against her.

No matter what, Tu Chang is also the eldest brother of her triplets, he knows it.

Everyone was chatting, resting and waiting for the dinner of the cooking class, and suddenly saw a few horses approaching slowly ahead, and the first one was the heroine of the scandal.

Tu Yuanyuan came to inspect the base camp of officers and soldiers, and the soldiers couldn't help standing up from the ground, respectful, but not humble.In fact, it's not that men don't have the idea that women should go home and take care of their children, but they have already accepted the reality that their heads are women.

This princess is not as high and high as the soldiers imagined, but she is still a woman with a straight sword, and they really respect her.

Tu Yuanyuan expressed condolences to the grassroots officers and soldiers on behalf of her mother, and had to go to see Tu Chang again in the eyes of gossip.Tu Chang wants the whole camp now because of his age and appearance, and because he has changed the faults of the young master, and there are people like his "uncle", the relationship between people in the camp is quite good.In fact, everyone guessed that he was about to become a son-in-law, and they were happy to associate with him.

Tu Yuanyuan took Tu Chang to a secluded place and asked, "Brother, are you tired after walking for a day?"

Tu Chang's hands and feet were blistered and callused. He said, "Just get used to it. By the way, do you know when the next battle will start?"

In the past two days of marching, they did not encounter any decent resistance forces, and some of them were cleared by the scouts in front and the experts of the Intelligence Bureau, and some losses were also among those two troops.

"It's going to be Siping in two days."

Such a large army cannot travel a hundred miles a day, and eighty miles a day is already the limit, and there is a gap with that legendary army.

Tu Yuanyuan took out a bottle of medicine and handed it to him. As the first prince, Tu Chang knew that it was an excellent trauma medicine, so he didn't refuse and put it in his pocket.

"How is the queen mother?"

"The queen mother doesn't like to talk recently, but that's how she is. She has a lot of things on her mind. She needs various statistics from the confidential room all day long."

"Like you are also very good in the confidential room, you can see the overall situation."

Tu Yuanyuan said: "When the battle in Liaodong is over, the queen mother will definitely transfer you out, so you don't have to be the artillery platoon leader."

Tu Chang thought to himself, if he doesn't want to be an artillery platoon leader, he just wants to go back to the Royal Academy to finish his studies.

"Then I'm not saying I don't want to be an artillery soldier, it's just that after a battle, I still don't know what Jiannu looks like."

Because they have been in a state of first-level combat readiness, soldiers cannot leave the camp and wander around. The artillerymen are all responsible for long-range missions. Tu Chang really has never had close contact with Jiannu.Therefore, it is not his turn to kill the prince Jiannu like Tu Yuanyuan.Everything has advantages and disadvantages. He knows the life of soldiers at the grassroots level, the details and difficulties in the march, which will be beneficial for him to grasp military power and build the army in the future.

The two brothers and sisters were talking, when Tu Yuanyuan suddenly saw a sea dongqing flying in the sky, this kind of bird of prey was most loved by people outside the customs, and could be used to spy on the military situation and deliver news.There are also big weeks, but there are too few.

Tu Yuanyuan hurriedly asked Jin Yiwei to shoot it down, but Jin Yiwei's marksmanship was not so good for a moving target that was [-] meters high.A few gunshots sounded, and Hai Dongqing, who came to check the military situation, was about to increase the distance. At this moment, seeing Hai Dongqing suddenly fell from the sky, Yuanyuan was overjoyed.

Tu Yuanyuan hurriedly got on the horse, and wanted to rush over to have a look. Tu Chang wanted to go, but because he was afraid that revealing his identity would affect the important battle he was about to participate in, he had to endure it.

Tu Yuanyuan quickly rode to the place where Hai Dongqing fell, but saw that there was already a group of people here, and Tu Yuanyuan saw that it was Chunyu Bai and others.

"Lord Chunyu, did you bring down Haidongqing?"

When Chunyu Bai saw it was her, he just cupped his fists and said, "Third Princess."

Tu Yuanyuan gave him a military salute. He is from the Military Intelligence Bureau, and his rank is higher than hers.In this way, the two of them behaved differently, but neither of them took it to heart.

"It's not me, it's him."

But Jian is a boy of fifteen or sixteen years old, with a slender figure, his face is deeper than that of ordinary Han people, and his outline is clear.His hair is a little curly, but it doesn't prevent him from wearing a Chinese bun.

"My minister sees the princess!"

Tu Yuanyuan smiled and said, "Get up, your marksmanship is very accurate, very good."

The man said: "Wei Chen shot it down with an arrow."

"arrow?"

Then a soldier presented the sea dongqing with an arrow stuck in it.

"You can shoot from such a distance, your archery skills are very good!"

"Thank you princess for the compliment."

The soldiers had already discovered what was on Hai Dongqing's feet, and they took it off and handed it to Tu Yuanyuan, who couldn't understand Jurchen.There was an interpreter in the confidential room who knew Jurchen, so she immediately got on her horse and went back to the handsome camp.

Xing Xiuyan looked at the news, and it was Jin Hongli who told Siping's army to be careful of them, and reminded them not to fight/wild/war with them.

She couldn't help thinking: "It seems that we have less time, and we must strike Siping as soon as possible."

The only way is to order the soldiers to rest early today and set off at the first quarter of the fifth watch tomorrow. The longer the delay, the harder it will be to fight.

……

He arrived thirty miles outside Siping City in a few days, but Yue Tuo, the owner of the inlaid red flag, had already received a secret order from Jin Hongli, and Jin Hongli didn't just release a sea dongqing to convey military information.

Yue Tuo sent [-] troops to harass the Zhou army at night when they were stationed and resting. He heard the sound of drums and shouts in the woods in the distance, intending to disturb the exhausted Zhou army so that they would not have a good night's sleep.

Jin Hongli also reminded them not to easily fight with the Zhou army. It is a lesson of blood. They can only take advantage of the black light and the cavalry to exhaust the enemy at the edge of the camp.

Xing Xiuyan also saw through their tricks and ordered the soldiers to divide into two groups, one group to guard the first half of the night and the other to guard the second half of the night.But even so, the soldiers still couldn't get the best rest.

Xing Xiuyan temporarily gave up the plan of the second day's surprise attack, thinking about the plan in her mind.After thinking for an hour, they recruited Lu Kun, Zhang Hu, Chunyu Bai, and Ouyang Lei to discuss the matter.

A few of them also marched far and did not get a good rest, and they were a little tired.

Zhang Hu said: "Captain, we might as well fight, I don't believe that Siping can't be defeated with the firepower of our two armies!"

Xing Xiuyan put his hands behind his back and said, "The ammunition is shot out at once, and we will become two-legged sheep."

Lu Kun said: "Mr. Zhang, the commander's concerns are not unreasonable. The southern city wall of Siping is mostly made of stone, and there are several layers of closed gates. However, our army did not bring cannons to attack the fortifications in this expedition. The tiger crouching guns are also blooming/ Bullets are the main thing, and it is not good for attacking."

Xing Xiuyan said: "I don't want to cause too many casualties, and the Mongolians on the border are more ambiguous. Even if our exhausted troops march into the city, we must first manage the Han people in the city, second, guard the prisoners, and third, collect food and grass. , Fourth, we must repair the city walls, and fifth, we must defend the city. If it ends in World War I and wipes out the foundation, then our army of [-] to [-] people will fall into the jaws of a tiger."

Zhang Hu's impulse was suppressed, he was born as a bodyguard, he was escorting for Chen Yi back then, he believed that he had a close relationship with the governor, and they shared the troubles together.Now that he has soared into the sky and became an official, although he has some shortcomings, he is loyal to the queen, fights desperately, and is good at training soldiers, but his strategy is not enough.

"Captain, then I will fight as you say."

Xing Xiuyan thought for a while, and said what was in her heart.Zhang Hu clapped his palms and said with a smile: "The governor has a great plan!"

Xing Xiuyan frowned and said: "Don't be complacent, if this plan fails, we have to attack hard. Not only will there be more losses, but it will be even more dangerous to defend the city in the future."

Zhang Hu said bitterly: "It's a big deal, let's attack the city and let the cavalry battalion slaughter the city, so we don't need to send more people to guard and manage the people in the city."

Xing Xiuyan said: "The weather is getting hotter and hotter. There are Jin, Mongolian, Han, and Western Regions people in the city. The slaughtered blood is flowing like rivers. You need to spend more time burying it. It is no joke to cause epidemics."

Zhang Hu couldn't help being surprised, he couldn't think so much.

……

At night, the elite light cavalry with red flags came to the station again to tire out and harass the enemy. When the drums were beating loudly in the army, the troops were fully equipped to chase the enemy.

The cavalry with the red flag obeyed the orders of Yue Tuo, the flag master, not to face the enemy head-on, and fled with their horseshoes on the wind. The Zhou army had nothing to do with them.

The next day, the army of Dazhou became more and more tired. Many soldiers standing guard outside the barracks secretly fell asleep sitting on the ground back to back.

The third time Xianghongqi harassed the enemy was even more aggressive, only the voices of the people in the Dazhou barracks were heard, and a lot of cannons were fired in the dark night, and a lot of guns were fired, but in the end they didn't touch a single hair.

Yue Tuo listened to several Jiala's reports, and finally couldn't help laughing, saying: "If you want to talk about the use of cavalry, then our Jurchens are really the ancestors of the Han people!"

A Jiala forehead really said: "It is said that the firearms of the Southern Dynasty are powerful, but in the eyes of the slaves, the firearms are blind in the dark. The enemy can't see us at all, and they all hit the sky."

Another Jiala Ezhen said: "It's true, even our red cannons can't shoot accurately at night."

"So at night, they can't hit us, and they can't catch us."

"However, if they rest well and forcefully attack the city gate, that should not be underestimated. After all, four banners have already been defeated by them."

Suddenly a Han man dressed as a scribe said: "Now we have to drag it on and see the results of the peace talks between the emperor and the Southern Dynasty. The two sides will have a truce."

A tall Jiala forehead really said: "Peace talks? Huh! The Southern Dynasty killed so many of us, now peace talks, I can't swallow this breath!"

The Han literati said: "But at this time, Dajin is in a dangerous situation. It has already lost its vitality and lost Panjin. Shenyang and Liaoyang are all under the vanguard of the Southern Dynasty. We can't continue fighting like this!"

Najia Lazhen let out a cold snort and didn't speak.In the late Jin Dynasty, there was a lot of conflict between the Jurchen dignitaries and the Han officials, but Hong Tai treated the Han officials with courtesy, and several generations of emperors also paid attention to winning over the scholars among the Han people, and did not allow the Jurchens to take the issue of the Han nationality to the fore.But if you don't say this, there is no reason why people who understand don't understand.

Yue Tuo said: "Okay, Sashku, stop arguing, Fang Zhifu's concerns are not unreasonable."

Yue Tuo asked the prefect to leave first.Siping Mansion is also an important place for post-finance taxation. Jurchens are not good at managing places and collecting imperial food, so a large number of civil servants use Han civil servants.

But in the army, the masters of the Eight Banners definitely have the final say.

After Fang Zhifu resigned, only Yue Tuo and a few Jiala Ezhen were left.

Sashiku said: "If the emperor really wants to negotiate peace with Nanchao, then we really can't take advantage of it! My lord, this time the empress of Nanchao is the one who led the troops. If I capture the queen of Nanchao alive, then Nanchao will not be able to take advantage of it!" No concessions to us."

Another Jiala Ezhensele said: "My lord, I think what Sashku said is reasonable. There are tens of thousands of Jurchen elite soldiers in the two blue flags, the white flag, and the yellow flag. They are all treasures, and they can't just die like this. It's gone!"

Thinking of this, Yue Tuo couldn't help but slapped the table hard, his grief and indignation could not be expressed, he understood the meaning of the emperor launching a campaign while the Great Zhou was in Pingnan.He lives in Siping, and merchants come and go every day, and Dajin has to buy and sell expensive things from them. Because of the blockade in the Jiliao area, the whole Dajin is in trouble, and even some officials' salaries cannot be paid out for several months. embarrassing situation.

The emperor directed this resentment to the Southern Dynasty, and the whole court, together with the enemy Kai, wanted to scrape a layer of oil from the Southern Dynasty to relieve the hatred, and the most important thing was to ease the plight of Dajin.

Yongxiang said: "My lord, I have heard that the emperor and empress of the Southern Dynasty had a very good relationship. The emperor of the Southern Dynasty was tyrannical, but he loved this empress like a treasure. Many years ago, he dispersed the harem for her. Even his original wife Yang's death is all related to this Queen Xing. If we can really capture the Queen of the Southern Dynasty alive, then we will have made a great achievement. The emperor of the Southern Dynasty Ren Dajin will take whatever he wants, and the morale of the whole army of the Southern Dynasty will definitely drop. I, Dajin, may not be afraid of it anymore. "

Sashku said: "If you can defeat this Southern Dynasty army in one fell swoop, you can also avenge those few banners!"

When it comes to blood feuds, they are all filled with righteous indignation, as if they have never killed Han people, but in fact they have killed more.

Se Le said: "My lord, in fact, if the Han people do not have firearms, they are like two-legged sheep. We can beat five of them by ourselves. Their firearms are not easy to use at night, or we launch a surprise attack at night, and the cavalry penetrates the enemy camp. There must be a mess. Do they still dare to fire cannons in their own barracks?"

Yue Tuo said: "But what the emperor means is that we only want us to hold them back and hold on to Siping, and not to fight hard easily, so as not to expand losses."

Sashku said: "But if we don't defeat them, what can the emperor and Nanchao talk about? Will the foreign military order be unacceptable!"

……

The inlaid red flag was tired night after night, causing the Han camp to fly wildly every night, and Da Zhou also delayed the siege time because of exhaustion.It turned out that there were gunfire when chasing and disturbing enemy cavalry at night, but for two days there was only gunfire.

There was only a little movement that night, and the drum beat a few times, and then stopped. No one in the Da Zhou army took them seriously.

"Wolf is coming" more than three times, the army of Dazhou has gotten used to it, and if they don't fall for their tricks, they won't sleep well.

This is how the opportunity came, Yue Tuo took five Jiala troops with red flags and [-] Han infantry, and prepared tonight to attack the Han camp at night.Arriving ten miles away from the Han camp, the Han camp apparently found them, but they still beat the drums three times and sporadically fired a few guns, which subsided after a while.They obviously don't want to play wolf games with them.

Sashku said: "My lord, they were really fooled, and they must be going back to the camp to sleep now."

Se Le said: "Yesterday they were not affected much, and they will ignore us today. If they have a good rest, they will definitely not play with us, but will forcibly attack the city during the day."

Yue Tuo rode on the horse, looked at Jiala Ezhen beside him under the light of the torches all around, and said: "Everyone, whether you can make achievements and avenge the blood depends on tonight. Our Jurchen Batulu will always be invincible! "

"Hooray! Hooray!"

Yue Tuo gave an order, and seven or eight thousand fine cavalry with red flags inlaid with red flags divided into three groups to surround the camp.

There were [-] soldiers and horses in Dazhou, stationed in the open grassland, and the area was also very large, with a radius of three or four li.

Sashku took the lead and led all the cavalry to the center tent. Everything happened so quickly, why no one was guarding the camp before they arrived, someone had already noticed something strange.But the killing sound was so loud that no one heard the cries of the first few people who noticed something strange, and the people behind continued to come forward.

Suddenly, there was an explosion, and someone shouted in surprise: "Cannon! Cannon from the Southern Dynasties!"

As he spoke, he heard a series of explosions, and the flames shot up into the sky for a while.

"Not good! It's a hit!"

"Get out!"

At this moment, hundreds of meters behind, the artillery was arranged in an arc, and the artillery fire was fired.It is difficult to aim the artillery in the dark because it cannot be seen.But the artillerymen knew the coordinates of the mine explosion position over there, and they only corresponded to the shelling according to the original adjusted and estimated metadata.

There are not many landmines buried, because our own army always has to charge, so we can't hurt ourselves.

After three rounds of bombardment, Hou Jin's army was beaten up, and he abandoned his armor and soldiers and ran away.

The cavalry of the two armies of the Han camp owned [-] cavalry. Under the leadership of Lu Kun, they quickly pursued the remnants of the cavalry with red flags who fled. In fact, they still had an advantage in numbers, but at this time they had no fighting spirit and were afraid of the firearms of the Han army. , eager to go back to the city to defend.

The Sichuan army left a division in Tieling, and there are still [-] infantry following northward.They were ordered to rush forward with firecrackers in hand, to deal with the panicked infantry.

In the chaotic army, according to the "three-three system" team tactics of the Sichuan Army infantry's skilled copycat Rabbit Army's invincible infantry, try to widen the front line as much as possible, and the teams cover each other and advance layer by layer.Taking advantage of the moonlight of the last quarter moon, the class is used as a unit and the slogan is used to communicate with each other to avoid self-injury.However, the Rabbit Army widened the front to prevent the Japanese army from being too powerful and causing too many casualties to the middle and low-level infantry. At this time, their Sichuan infantry was fighting for annihilation.

Tu Chang heard the sound of killing at night, the gunshots continued, and his work was done. Their platoon fired [-] shells, and the other platoons should have done the same.The orderly came to convey the order of the governor: the artillery stayed in place.

Tu Chang couldn't help sighing, "Isn't that our business?"

The monkey said: "Platoon leader, charging is a matter for cavalry and infantry."

Heizi also said: "Platoon leader, we can't help you charge."

Tu Chang said: "If this is the last big battle, wouldn't I go back...home without killing Jianu?"

The monkey said: "Platoon leader, don't think that way. We wiped out as many enemy troops as they did! The commander-in-chief said that artillery is the god of war, and we are gods!"

Tu Chang: ...

But what about his personal heroism in the second grade?

The imperial sister was able to lead the guards to defeat the assassins in Annan, and she was able to kill the prince of Jiannu with a single knife. He hadn't even seen what Jiannu looked like.

Heizi smiled and said, "Platoon leader, let's do our job well and wait to receive the reward."

Tu Chang's third-line sweat.

The cavalry of the Han army chased the cavalry with red flags, and when they saw a lot of people, they asked the thrower to throw a grenade first, and then use the gun.

Hearing the sound of explosions in the dark night, the remnant soldiers of the Xianghuang Banner couldn't help being even more frightened, and couldn't help but wonder why the artillery of the Southern Dynasty was so strange that they could hit it.For example, Daikin's red cannon can't move very fast.

The days are long in summer, and at the fourth watch, the sky is bright.

Yue Tuo found that because of the pursuit of the Han army, they ran away from the city gate and were in the army at this time.

Yue Tuo looked around, there were more than 2000 horses, and the rest were dead or scattered, and he couldn't help crying.

"Your Majesty! I have failed you!" Yue Tuo knelt down towards the sun and knocked his head to the ground.

Sashku and Sele had been killed, and the other Jiala Ezhen ran away, leaving two people around him.As for the [-] infantry, they had already left them behind, and were under the slaying of the [-] infantry of the Sichuan Army.

Jiala Ezhen Yongxiang said: "My lord, don't be discouraged. If you keep the green hills, you won't be afraid of running out of firewood."

"Yes, my lord!" Another Jialaerzhenwuer rabbit also advised him.

Suddenly I heard the report: "The people from the Southern Dynasty are chasing us!"

All the remnants present were so frightened that they wanted to run away, Yongxiang said angrily, "What are you afraid of?! Look at your appearance! Are you still our Jurchen Batulu?!"

But at this time Lu Kun's cavalry had chased 200 meters away, and Lu Kun ordered to shoot at their horses.The target of the war horse is big, even at a distance of 200 meters, the hit rate is still not small.Kill their horses and they can't escape, and at a distance of 200 meters / shoot arrows.Batulu, who is the most proficient at archery, still has very limited effective archery, and it is impossible for all these two thousand people to be Jebe.

The war horses were shot and turned their masters off the horses one after another. There is nothing terrible about the Jurchen cavalry without the war horses.

Under the cover of his subordinates, Yue Tuo was pushed onto his horse and ran away. Lu Kun divided his troops to pursue, and then divided his troops into [-] riders to rush straight to the city gate to intercept.

Lu Kun pursued the poor without hesitation and refused to let them return to the city. On the way, they could only eat a few pieces of bread and drink the water in the water bag.

At this time, the sky was bright, and the infantry of the Yellow Shirt Army and the artillerymen of the two armies, who had been able to rest last night, had finished their breakfast, and they were ordered by the queen to march quickly to prepare for the siege.

Going straight all the way, I saw many corpses on the road, as well as the panic-stricken infantry prisoners of the Jin Han Army.Often it was three infantrymen of the Sichuan Army, watching dozens of prisoners of the Jinhan Army infantrymen who surrendered.The Sichuan army has rich experience in receiving prisoners. Accepting the Han army's "surrender from the dark to the bright", and killing the single Eight Banners soldiers, they will first reward them with a silver coin, and then let them be the leaders of the captives. How many soldiers.At first, a prisoner was asked to do this, and then he was rewarded heavily, and then he was released to propagate among the Han army. In this way, those cavalry with red flags who were left alone, including those who were not injured, When they were undefended against these Han troops, they were swarmed up and assassinated, and then their heads were beheaded.

On the urgent road, Tu Chang was finally lucky enough to see the Jin Han army presenting the Sichuan army with the bloody head of the bannerman.

He couldn't help muttering: "Who came up with this idea?"

The monkey said: "Of course it's the empress! I heard from people in the Sichuan army that during the chaos of the White Lotus Sect, many people killed the leader to show their sincerity."

Li Yin sighed: "In Houjin, it is easier to do this. Although these Han people may not have much loyalty to Dazhou, they know a word of fear. If there is a new way of life for them, they must rush to it. The powerful foreign race Even if we can rule them, we are originally Han people, and they don’t have that much psychological burden to rebel, as long as they are exonerated.”
