Chapter 144 The "normal" battle under Luanzhou City

Song Yi did not persuade him any more, nor did he lose face, and ran back. After a simple lunch, the troops finished packing up, leaving a platoon to look at the camp, and the main force also began to set off.

As soon as Chen Xie left the camp gate, he saw the intersection ahead, and was filled with people. He was surprised and walked forward, but he saw Song Yi and Xianghe elders drinking on the side of the road and bowed to him from afar.

After strode forward, Chen Xie moved and said, "How dare you to help the county emperor and all the elders here."

Song Yi picked up a bowl of wine and said solemnly: "Sihua, I won't say anything. I'll do Zhuangxing wine and kill a few more Jiannu for us."

Chen Xie didn't say much, and drank the wine in the bowl in one breath, bowed his hand slightly and said seriously: "Thank you!"

The horses were turned over, and the war horses were neighing, and the sound of horse hooves broke.

The back of the spring light was gone, but the road was winding. The person who saw him disperse for a long time. Song Yi, who turned around, was staggering, and his eyes were blurred. After years of officialdom, his heart was as firm as iron and stone, and today he had to be sad.

"Come, come and take the pen and ink."

The pen was written by a dragon and a snake, and a urgent report was written. The messenger quickly entered Beijing. By night, the report from the Xianghe County Magistrate had been placed on Zhu Youjian's desk. His eyes were wide, his fists were clenched, and the blue veins on his neck were clearly visible. Zhu Youjian's thin chest was constantly rising and falling, and his nails were still hurting even when he fell into his palms.

"I can't wait for others." "The country has reached such a point, and we have no choice but to die for it." These plain words were copied in the original text, and Song Yi did not add any modifications. However, none of them touched Zhu Youjian's heart.

Wang Chengen could see clearly from the side. He couldn't help but turn his head and wipe his tears several times. The report was not long, and he could not help but cry every time he saw it. He couldn't help it! Slap, a tear fell on the paper, and Zhu Youjian did not wipe it, but stood up and held the pillar in the hall with his left hand and slapped the pillar with his right hand. It seemed that only in this way could he calm his inner sadness.

Who is Chen Xie? Zhu Youjian thinks that he has already found it very clearly. An overseas wanderer is doing some maritime business. The Ming Dynasty's ban on the sea was useless. Does Zhu Youjian really know? A joke. How is it possible? It's just that the interests are too great and he dare not touch them easily. In that way, the entire civil servant group will jump up and down like a monkey with its butt lit up and down.

Chen Xie, who did not receive one or two taels of silver in the court, was willing to die for the Ming Dynasty. The Guangning Army, who was supported by three million taels of silver every year, ran away in fear because the emperor took Yuan Chonghuan. The troops who were serving the kings from all over the place were watching. The three rivers fell. They were still watching. For the sake of Chen Xie, the other was still white. He said he wanted to die for the Ming Dynasty!

"Wang Cheng'en. Tell me, what's wrong with my ministers and generals?" Zhu Youjian said this, and Wang Cheng'en trembled all over, subconsciously looked around, and then stepped forward and whispered: "Long live, it's not too early, so you might as well go and rest." Zhu Youjian looked at Wang Cheng'en's panic and pale face, and sighed involuntarily.

It was not difficult for him to think about what the answer was. It was precisely because of his clarity that he was so harsh on civil officials.

"Please keep an eye on it, and when there is news, you will be rewarded immediately." Zhu Youjian had no choice but to do this, with just a few cards in his hand.

Five days later.

Wang Qinian, whose eyes were red, observed Luanzhou with a telescope. The city gate was actually opened. This discovery, Wang Qinian couldn't believe his eyes. The Later Jin soldiers were a little too arrogant, right? According to investigation, there were two soldiers in the Later Jin inlaid blue flag in Luanzhou, which was at least 3,000 troops. Of course, Wang Qinian would not attack him recklessly. In fact, Chen Xie's request for him was also to march slowly and wait for the brigade.

Wang Qinian was the pioneer of the Tao, not asking him to fight Luanzhou by himself.

"Go back!" After a look, Wang Qinian stood up and returned. The army camp was located twenty miles away from Luanzhou, so he was just here to check it out. At his location, there were still five miles away from the city.

In a village ten miles away from Luanzhou, the main force of the Dengzhou regiment training camp and 4,000 white-rod soldiers gathered together, which was a strong army. After Qin Yiming learned that Chen Xie led his troops to advance east, he immediately sent a fast horse to catch up with Chen Xie and asked him to wait a moment.

Chen Xie was very proud of his face and would not move when he arrived in Kaiping. If it weren't for the Ming Dynasty, he would have scared the Ming army of Kaiping Guards to death. He thought that the Later Jin had arrived, but after waiting for Qin Yiming for a day, Chen Xie felt more confident. The scouts kept bringing back the news. Chen Xie finally confirmed that the Later Jin army had retreated. He didn't understand why Huang Taiji withdrew his troops in February, so why did the Ming army wait until May before counterattacking.

The Qing army had no trouble in attacking Luanzhou. The guard Li Jichun surrendered and the governor Yang committed suicide. From this information, Chen Xie's judgment was once again verified. During this period, the Later Jin army's ability to siege was simply painful.

The three heads gathered together to look at the map. When Wang Qinian came in, he looked up together.

"As the master expected, the city gate was open." Wang Qinian came in and reported. Chen Xie nodded after hearing this, took out a cigarette and lit it, looked at Qin Yiming and Ma Xianglin and said, "Tell me how to fight?"

"How else can I fight? The city gates are open, and I drive them over directly. I don't think they will come out first before we get to the city." Ma Xianglin smiled and took the conversation. Chen Xie looked at Qin Yiming. The guy nodded and said, "I think it's the same."

"Okay, it's getting dark. Let's take a break tonight. Tomorrow morning, set up a formation to kill him." Chen Xie made a decision, and everyone dispersed and took the time to rest. Of course, Chen Xie couldn't sleep yet, so he had to choose a good battlefield. Fortunately, Northern Zhili was a big plain, and it was very suitable for Chen Xie's queuing and shooting and adding artillery tactics.

On the tenth day of the lunar month, the war drums rumbled, and the Dengzhou regiment training camp with a distinctive banner drove to Luanzhou in a swagger.

The Later Jin army was indeed not afraid. With more than a thousand troops from the surrendered general Li Jichun as the leader, he left the city to fight. Ma Xianglin volunteered to lead a thousand white-sling soldiers in front of the formation, followed by the Dengzhou regiment training camp. Qin Yiming's three thousand white-sling soldiers were placed at the end because they were not equipped with plate armor. Qin Yiming had no temper at all. This was the case during this period. He didn't fight just by fighting. There were many people on both sides who were all in the array. After a long time of struggle, Chen Xie, who was determined to wait for the Later Jin army to leave the city and then fight, was really helpless. He could only watch his opponents go out of the city and line up.

The white-rod soldiers equipped with plate armor are like blood bulls in the game, with two square formations standing in front. This formation gives the opposite Later Jin army an illusion that they can use cavalry to go up from both wings and destroy the opposite artillery team and bird gun soldiers.

The battle officially started at 10:30 in the morning. The Later Jin soldiers, with weaker troops, took the initiative to attack with the most familiar tactics. Each of the cavalry on both sides was 500, and Li Jichun's more than 1,500 people were driven away by Li Jichun as the front drive, trying to destroy the opposite formation and then break it in one fell swoop.

Don't expect the Later Jin generals who used the Romance of the Three Kingdoms as military strategy to understand how many tactics they knew. The Ming army could not defeat the Later Jin Dynasty was not a tactical problem, but a problem that the army reached its peak. In many major battles, officers ran away first, resulting in the defeat of the battle. Just ran away like that. In the last battle between the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the Songshan Battle, one Wang Pu and one Wu Sangui ran away, resulting in the defeat of the last field force of the entire Ming Dynasty. In this way, Wu Sangui still had no trouble.

Of course, no one will run away in today's battle. Chen Xie's routine is very simple. No matter who you are going to rush into the formation, you will have no discussion on using the cannon first. In order to avoid the formation being chased, Chen Xie ordered the cannon to fire at a distance of 1,500 meters.

The beating projectiles danced in the crowd. Those people who dared not resist to attack the formation were originally walking slowly, and even if they ran, they would not run fast. After four rounds of artillery, more than 10,000 people died. The casualties caused by the artillery were actually not too large, it was just scary. The real casualties were the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty who attacked the Ming Dynasty. They raised their swords and guns to their compatriots without hesitation, and walked slowly, forcing the people to come.

Behind are swords and guns, in front are cannons, and deaths are both front and back, so it is better to run to both sides. This is probably human instinct.

When facing the artillery fire, the surrendered Ming army was still wearing the uniform of the Ming army and ran forward with all their strength under the pressure of the Later Jin master. As long as they kill their compatriots, they can have a way of life and future glory and wealth. Why would the surrendered Ming army be even more cruel to their compatriots? It's very simple, they have no way out.

But when he rushed 200 steps away under the fire, gunfire sounded. This distance was a distance that no one could have imagined. A roulette of guns brought numerous casualties to the puppet troops who were rushing forward on foot. The mandarin duck war jacket was okay to deal with the bow and arrow, but it was a terrible sight to face the Minnie bomb.

Bullets like raindrops hit the more than 1,500 Ming troops. They didn't dare to run away. If they dared to turn around, they would have to be killed by their master. The turning point of the battle happened when the puppet army attacked the spear formation. A bullet opened a hole in Li Jichun's chest, and the puppet army was dispersed. No matter how much killing the Later Jin army even killed, they could not stop the collapse. What's even more fatal is that more than half of the puppet army who were forced to go to the fore, turned against the battlefield.

The left and right were dead. It seemed that the Ming army was even more cruel now, so they simply slashed at the Later Jin soldiers who had just called their master.

Before the frontal battle situation collapsed first, the battle on both sides was also in fierce progress. Qin Yiming, who was adjourned, commanded the Baigang soldiers to fight against the Qing army's cavalry. Without plate armor, the Baigang soldiers suffered a lot of casualties. However, with the assistance of the two teams of Dengzhou camp rifle soldiers, Qin Yiming still easily repelled the Later Jin army, which had two wings, and caused nearly 200 casualties to the Later Jin cavalry.

The Later Jin army, who had never tried the taste of Minnie, was still very brave, but the braver it was the faster it died.

When the Later Jin army reacted wrongly, they bombarded and attacked each other, and the Later Jin army had lost more than 500 people. As long as the large-caliber lead bullet hits your body, the medical level of this era is basically a word of death.

A battle that should have been "normal" had an abnormal result. As soon as the Later Jin army was about to retreat, the white-rod soldiers holding spears launched a counterattack. Behind them were Dengzhou regiments holding rifles, and the bayonet rifle was used, and the stabbing effect was not bad at all. Not to mention, there was still a bullet in the rifle.
