I, Zhu Youjian: the first prodigal son of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 263 Enough...

Chen Xingzhi, who was born as an Orion, fired a total of three shots, killing one person and wounding two others.

Then, he took advantage of the terrain, and like a vigorous snow leopard, he disappeared into the vast mountains and dense forests without a sound.

On the snow, there are two staggering trails left...

……

The man who was killed was called Azig.

Nurhaci's No.12 sons, Heshuobeile and Azig.

Inexplicably, he was shot and killed by a farmer from Ming Dynasty.

The bullet shot from the left rib, directly tore a hole the size of a thumb in a gloomy, calm and fierce heart, killing him almost instantly.

The entire cavalry team quickly became chaotic.

Immediately afterwards, a Jiala Ezhen and a Niulu Ezhen were killed respectively, and the slave cavalry were completely panicked.

"Stop moving forward!"

"We are ambushed!"

"Hurry up, line up!"

……

After all, they are elite cavalrymen who have been battle-tested. This kind of commotion lasted no longer than a cup of tea, and it quickly subsided under the scolding of a few Jiala foreheads.

However, everyone was dumbfounded when they heard that Azig, the twelfth belor who led them this time, was attacked and killed.

1 people, [-] horses.

The Twelve Belle Lords were mixed in the ranks that stretched for more than ten miles, almost like small stones hiding in a piece of sand. Even if there were many ordinary cavalrymen who built slaves, it was actually difficult to find their Baylor Lords.

How did the Ming army find out about the musketeers?

Moreover, the first shot was aimed at this unlucky Lord Baylor?

Thoughtful...

One of the four Jiala Ezhen was wounded and shot in the stomach.

The remaining three Jia Lae really looked at each other in blank dismay.

This time, the attack was unfavorable. The musketeers of the Ming army only picked important people to attack, which had already caused serious consequences. If it wasn't for the inner ghost, how could the musketeers hit Lord Azigbeile with the first shot?
"Lay out in all directions, guard all nearby passages, and defend on the spot!"

"Take advantage of the terrain, retreat to the three highlands, and set up camp!"

"Kill all suspicious people!"

A series of orders were issued, and [-] cavalry quickly moved to sweep the surrounding mountains, canyons, dense forests, and river valleys within a radius of [-] to [-] miles.

The Ming army found none.

I hunted down a lot of wild game, nothing more than roe rabbits, black blinds, golden pheasants, snow chickens, etc...

On the halfway up a huge and dangerous mountain, the Jiannu cavalry set up a camp of the Chinese army.

Three Jiala Ezhen and more than a dozen Niu Lu Ezhen met urgently to analyze the current emergency situation and discuss what to do next. Everyone has fought in the Liaodong and Liaoxi battlefields for many years. What kind of danger have you never seen?

Therefore, several follow-up tasks were quickly passed on.

Only after the morale of the army is stable can we continue to fight.

"The news came from the scouts in front. They found scattered Ming troops three or four miles away from Laohekou. The other party looked very leisurely and seemed unaware of our army's arrival."

"The seventh wave of scouts sent news that seven or eight miles south of Laohekou is the Ming army fortress. The gates of the city are open, and the people come in and out normally, so there should be no precautions."

"On the nearby mountain, I found a trace of a person. According to the trajectory of the action, it should be left by the murderer who ambushed Lord Twelve Baylor..."

……

In the big tent of the Chinese army, the latest news kept coming.

All the evidence proves that there is only one ambusher.

In the Ming army castle outside Laohekou, there was no sign of any precautions, it was just a piece of fat on the lips.

"Everyone, do you want to fight?"

"If you want to fight, I will lead an army of [-], and I will flatten the Ming army's small town in half an hour!"

"Yes, take advantage of their unpreparedness, let's break through a city first."

Listening to Niu Luerzhen's invitation to fight, the three Jialaerzhen were full of sorrow, and then turned their heads to look at the colleague lying on the sheepskin who didn't know whether he was alive or dead. Everyone's heart was particularly heavy.

"Master Twelve Baylor once said that the Ming army is not fierce enough in combat, but it is very good at using intrigues and tricks. It is false and true, true and false, so we have to guard against it."

A Jialazhen sighed, and continued depressedly: "Our Jurchen iron cavalry has always been brave and fearless on the battlefield. However, in the face of such a calling enemy, we..."

"Hmph, isn't it just a small castle?"

Suddenly, another bearded and leopard-eyed Jiala Ezhen angrily scolded: "Even if the other party sets up an empty city and uses some shit empty city tricks, under the absolute power of my Jurchen iron cavalry, it is still no more than a display?
If you dare not fight, I will fight!
I ordered the [-] sons under my command to conquer the empty city of the Ming army, slaughter all the Han pigs, and avenge the Twelve Lord Belle! "

While talking, the man suddenly got up and said in a bitter voice: "The army has not yet started, the battle has not yet begun, and even if we lose a Lord Heshuo Belle, we will have to suffer the wrath of His Majesty the Emperor;
Simply, it is better to have a big battle! "

When everyone heard the words, they fell silent for a while.

According to the iron law of slavery warfare, on the battlefield, if the chief dies, all the soldiers under his command will be severely punished. Even, according to the identity, status and combat power of the commander-in-chief, there was once a prince who died and eight hundred soldiers under his command... The soldiers were all tortured by five horses...

……

The Twelve Beile Lords are not welcome in the court, but after all, they are the blood of Taizu Nurhachi. This time, it is estimated that their cavalry will be punished from top to bottom.

However, Jiala Ezhen and Niu Lu Ezhen who were present did not care anymore.

Everyone begs for death.

Why do you care about what's going on behind the scenes?

We still have to find a way to win the battle in front of us.

"Everyone be quiet, be quiet!"

An old and prudent Jiala Ezhen thought for a long time, and finally spoke: "Although Lord Twelve Baylor is dead, this battle must continue.

Before departure, when Lord Zierharan Belle and Lord Azig Belle had a secret meeting, I happened to be on the sidelines, and I was quite clear about the goal of this war.

The main goal of our [-]-strong army is to destroy the Ming army railway, suppress the Ming army on Kuwu Island, and prevent them from rushing to help dozens of small castles under the rule.

Therefore, this battle must be fought.

But how to fight, but not indiscriminately..."

Everyone finally quieted down.

A group of dragons without a leader is very fatal on the battlefield, and now someone can finally come forward to lead them, which makes all Jialaerzhen and Niuluerzhen secretly heave a sigh of relief...

……

When Chen Xingzhi returned to the castle, he was covered in blood and exhaustion, which surprised several veteran soldiers at the gate: "Brother Chen, why are you covered in blood? Did you meet a blind man?"

In the Luding Mountain area, black blind men, tigers, leopards and wild boars are the most deadly beasts.

After some hunters entered the mountain, even if they went with seven or eight people, if they encountered such deadly beasts, they would often suffer heavy losses.

"It was scratched by myself," Chen Xingzhi spat on the ground, cursing unhappily: "I found a long formation of slave cavalry in the mountain. I only fired three shots before I was almost discovered, so I had to roll and crawl. came back……"

Jian slave cavalry?

Several veterans of the city guard were stunned.

This news was so shocking that it made people breathless in an instant.

Which of these Ming veterans who were "trafficked" by Zheng Zhilong had never fought a bloody battle with Jiannu cavalry?Even the worst ones have fought bloody battles with Northern barbarian cavalry in Yulin Town and Yan'an Mansion...

"Brother Chen, how many are the slave cavalry you're talking about?" an old soldier asked in a shy voice.

"How far is it from here?" asked another veteran.

"Where did they come from? Could it be that the target is our small town?" Another person's lips trembled.

Chen Xingzhi sighed, and said, "Brothers, give me a sip of wine to warm you up... well, I almost won't be able to come back."

A veteran quickly untied the wine gourd from his waist and handed it over.

Chen Xingzhi took the wine gourd, unplugged it with a bang, and poured it for a while, and most of the gourd's bad wine was swallowed into his stomach.

There was a different kind of red light on his face.

Ah, comfortable.

Although all the wild game was discarded on the way to escape, it was enough to kill at least one Jian slave cavalry with three shots.

Thinking back to the battle at Xifengkou, he and his gang of old buddies knocked out [-] to [-] bullets, killed and maimed at least [-] people, that battle was really enjoyable!
"There are a lot of slave-building cavalry in this team. The team stretches for seven or eight miles, and you can't see the two ends..."

Chen Xingzhi wiped his wet mouth with his sleeve, and continued: "According to my experience, there are at least seven to eight thousand people and nearly twenty thousand horses.

Well, the first time I saw so many slave cavalry was at the entrance of Xifeng last year, and Huang Taiji was bombarded into scum by my Daming God of War, that was so enjoyable..."

A few old soldiers who defended the city: "..."

Everyone is a veteran of the Ming Dynasty, old and fading, who hasn't had a few battlefield anecdotes worth bragging about?
It's a pity that most of them are veterans from Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Fujian and other places. They belong to the local soldiers of the Ming Dynasty. They have very limited experience in fighting Jiannu cavalry. Naturally, there are no heroic stories worth singing or crying...

It can be bragged about.

This Chen Xingzhi is a veteran who participated in the Xifengkou Battle.

It is said that he personally killed and wounded more than 30 slave cavalrymen, and the bounty alone could buy hundreds of acres of fertile land...

"This matter is important, we must report to Lord Hou!"

Suddenly, a veteran guarding the city reacted, and with a violent roar, he ran towards the city with a roar.

"Do you want to fire the cannon?"

"Hurry up and fire the cannon, let the nearby people enter the city!"

"Everyone is there, enemy attack, enemy attack, prepare to close the city gate!"

Bang bang bang!
With a sharp tail sound, the three Sky-Drilling Monkeys suddenly shot high into the sky, and exploded deep in the sky, turning into three balls of light blue smoke. They were actually "warning salutes" specially made by Cao Wenzhao.

One sound means that the beast is coming.

Two beeps indicate that the savage tribe is coming.

Three beeps means that a large number of enemies are coming.

If the seven stars are in the sky, it means that extreme danger is coming, and all soldiers and civilians must enter the state of battle, even women, children, old and young, as long as they can pick up knives and guns, they must climb to the city wall to defend against the enemy...

……

Because I don't know whether Chen Xingzhi's words are true, so let's fire three shots first, let everyone enter the fighting state...

The small castle fell into chaos in an instant.

Because of the long-term battle with the savage tribes of the Jurchen in the East China Sea, the castle's battlefield response ability is actually amazing. It only took a cup of tea, the city gate was closed, and all the defenders were already ready for defensive battles.

As for some ordinary people who rushed back after the city gate was closed, they could only enter the city through a special rope.

The town is not big, and almost everyone knows each other.

Therefore, there are almost no cases of spies getting involved...

……

"The defenders of the small town found the slave cavalry?"

"Ambush?"

"The cavalry led by Azig set up camp near Laohekou, so they dare not stand up?"

Hearing a series of news, Cao Wenzhao was a little confused.

He, the Marquis of Liaodong, received a secret letter from the emperor as early as nine days ago, ordering him to organize a large-scale hunting battle, and strive to kill the ten thousand most elite cavalrymen of Jiannu one by one.

swallowed.

Digest it into a poop and pull it off.

Therefore, in the past few days, Cao Wenzhao has put all his resources into arranging a huge "pocket array", waiting for the Jiannu cavalry to break out of Laohekou, and his engineering soldiers will blow up all the retreat routes in time.

Then, holding it by the nose, they bumped and bumped in the ice and snow, and when they were exhausted, they suddenly turned around and took a bite.

Then, continue to drag and run.

In a word, it is to use the "mountain guerrilla warfare" strategy passed down by the idiot emperor to exhaust this ten-thousand-thousand cavalry army to death, exhaustion, and starvation on this black land...

As a result, the carefully prepared pocket array seems to be useless?

The slave cavalry were frightened and stopped moving forward?How can we fight this battle?
"Then we can only adjust our strategy," Cao Wenzhao rubbed his brows, moaned wearily, and said, "Let the old patriarch Ewenchun come to see me, by the way, let those seven or eight savages who surrendered to my Ming Dynasty The chief of the tribe also came;
Block all news, those who disobey the order, beheaded! "

Not long after, the old patriarch Ewenchun, and seven or eight savage tribal chiefs who had surrendered to Daming came to the main hall, each of them had a faint look of surprise on their faces.

Through various news channels, they actually already knew the news that the army of slaves was suppressing the border.

Therefore, except for the calm face of the old patriarch Ewenchun, all the patriarchs of the other savage tribes were very worried.

In the early years, everyone was a commoner of Ming Dynasty.

Later, after Jiannu came down from Luding Mountain, he rose step by step and dominated the entire land of Liaodong. Almost all the big guys became vassals of Jiannu nobles.

The fighting strength of the Great Ming Reclamation Legion was astonishing, and Cao Wenzhao, Marquis of Liaodong, deliberately made friends with all the savage tribes. Therefore, many people were under pressure and defected to Marquis of Liaodong of Daming.

Now, the Jiannu iron cavalry has returned...

……

Cao Wenzhao sat on a high place, looking coldly at the patriarchs of the wildling tribe, and sneered in his heart.

These people have not completely surrendered to Daming yet.

Time to give some color a look.

Of course, there is no need to push too hard. After letting them watch a big battle, I believe everyone will be convinced by Daming.

This man is so cheap!
