Chapter 333 The Decisive Battle at Biti Pavilion II
"volley..."
'Bang bang bang...bang bang bang...bang bang bang...bang bang bang...bang bang bang...bang bang bang...'
'Bang bang bang...bang bang bang...bang bang bang...bang bang bang...bang bang bang...bang bang bang...'
'Bang bang bang...bang bang bang...bang bang bang...bang bang bang...bang bang bang...bang bang bang...'
Seeing that the battle situation ahead had entered a fierce stage, Amin ordered: "Send the order and let the Korean army charge forward again. Hum, the people of the Ming Dynasty also know that they will fight with us with real swords and guns."
Only then did Mang Gurtai mount his horse: "I'll go..."
Amin did not stop him. Because of the addition of the Wuhan Iron and Steel Chariot, the battle was surprisingly smooth from the beginning to the present. Even if Mang Gurtai did not go, he would let his men lead the cavalry on the left and right flanks.
"Your Majesty, the Jiannu Cavalry has moved..."
Chen Cao raised his telescope and shouted sternly: "Send the order to the artillery camp to bombard the Jiannu cavalry."
'Dong-dong-dong...dong-dong-dong...dong-dong-dong...'
The gunfire finally sounded, and the shells flew towards the rear of the Han Eight Banners infantry, and landed on the path of the cavalry charging into the formation.
Mang Gurtai cursed loudly, and then issued an order. The cavalry suddenly split into two torrents and dispersed towards the left and right wings of the Sixth Brigade.
"What a sharp cannon..."
Ning Wan was a little surprised. He estimated that it was at least three miles away from the artillery array on the opposite side to the place where the cavalry passed. However, the flying bullets were not stone bullets but exploding shells. There were already many cavalrymen killed along the way. Dozens of people.
Amin looked at Ning Wanme: "Mr. Ning, does Daikin have such artillery?"
"Yes..." Ning Wanwo nodded and pointed to Li Sizhong behind him: "The Shenwei General Cannon was made by Geng Zhongming from Pidao with Korean craftsmen and Hongyi people. It cost thirty Gate, with a range of two and a half miles."
Amin looked at Li Sizhong's firearms unit behind him, and then said nothing because he felt that this was not the time for the firearms unit to come on stage.
"Scattered..."
"The enemy cavalry has dispersed. The seventh brigade divides its troops to protect the left and right wings."
Cao Shixiu shouted, this is the mobility of the cavalry. Although the Shenwu artillery cannot make sudden turns, the field artillery can, but it is only a drop in the bucket.
Although the intensity of the bombardment and explosion hindered the cavalry's offensive, the Tatar cavalry that rushed up later rushed over without fear and continued to the left and right wings of the formation.
"At least five thousand people..."
Thinking of the fear of being breached by He Heli and Fei Yingdong, Chen Cao immediately stood up and mounted his horse: "The first division entered the designated position."
It is impossible for tens of thousands of people to crowd together. Chen Cao's military formation on the rare Bitiguan Plain is divided into two large formations, the front and middle. The front formation is naturally led by Cao Shixiu, commander of the Second Division, and the center formation is led by Chen Cao. He personally suppressed the formation, but now Mang Gurtai's troops were already outflanking Cao Shixiu's second division position on the left and right, but Chen Cao did not think that his opponent would really go to Cao Shixiu's side.
really...
Mang Gurtai's path went straight around the front of Cao Shixiu, riding and shooting all the way to the left flank of the Chinese army.
"What a courage..."
After receiving the order, Xin Laosan and his men rushed towards the left wing. As soon as they reached the outside of the left wing, the torrent of Mang Gurtai rushed over.
"volley..."
'Bang bang bang...bang bang bang...bang bang bang...bang bang bang...bang bang bang...'
"Bang bang bang...bang bang bang...bang bang bang...bang bang bang...bang bang bang..."
'Bang bang bang...bang bang bang...bang bang bang...bang bang bang...bang bang bang...'
The three-stage salvo of bullets rushed towards the cavalry, each bullet piercing the flesh. The howl of the war horse alternated with the muffled sound of falling horse. Mang Gurtai felt that something was not good, and immediately commanded the cavalry to rush towards the left rear of the Second Division. .
"broken..."
Chen Cao shouted, then spurred his horse forward: "Feng Zhongping, cover up and kill him."
'Bang bang bang...bang bang bang...bang bang bang...bang bang bang...'
'Bang bang bang...bang bang bang...bang bang bang...bang bang bang...'
'Bang bang bang...bang bang bang...bang bang bang...bang bang bang...'
Mang Gurtai's target was not the Second Division's position, but the artillery array located in the middle of the Second Division's position.
"Raise the gun..."
"put..."
'Bang bang bang...bang bang bang...bang bang bang...bang bang bang...'
'Bang bang bang...bang bang bang...bang bang bang...bang bang bang...'
'Bang bang bang...bang bang bang...bang bang bang...bang bang bang...'
A company of soldiers guarding the artillery battery saw the Tatar cavalry rushing towards the left rear. Under the command of the company commander, all the soldiers turned around and rushed forward. Although bursts of gunshots hit the Tatar cavalry on their horses, they did not stop. The war horse rushed forward like an out-of-control lump of meat...
"Hold them off..."
"Protect the cannon..."
The sound of the collision was too harsh, but reinforcements came quickly. While Mang Gurtai was still excited, he realized that if he indulged in destroying these artillery pieces, his remaining more than a thousand people might be surrounded by opponents. , and then completely eaten.
He has a noble status, and it is already extraordinary to rush into the battle. How could he fall into it?
Feng Zhongping had already sent someone to report after Chen Cao's attack. Although the artillery was protected, the entire company guarding the artillery array was basically wiped out, and no one survived.
Chen Cao's eyes were red. When he looked up at the sky, it was already afternoon, and the people who had gone around to surround him had not yet appeared.
"Tang Yannian...Liu Xingzuo..."
.
Northeast of Xinyuan Sichuan, a continuous line of troops was marching quickly. In order not to be dragged down by the heavy artillery, Liu Xingzuo directly gave the order to keep the artillery behind, and the infantry set off first.
The fast horse scout in front looked a little confused, but he calmed down after seeing Liu Xingzuo: "General, I have captured a few local Koreans in Guling Mountain, and I have reliable information;
According to local reports, three days ago, tens of thousands of Tatars who were slaves came south to Bitiguan. "
"Tens of thousands?"
Liu Xingzuo was shocked: "Is the news accurate?"
The scout nodded: "It's accurate. In order to prevent the news from being wrong, the younger one asked two interpreters to translate at the same time. They both said that tens of thousands of people went south."
Liu Xingzuo's expression changed, and then he trembled: "Could it be reinforcements from the slave establishment?"
The sound of horse hoofbeats came from far away, and another cavalry arrived: "General, there are a large number of slave Tatars in the Fenshui courtyard southwest of Guring Mountain, and there are also a large number of grain and grass baggage."
Liu Xingzuo immediately took out the map. This picture was added from memory after he conquered North Korea.
After all, he had been in Jiannu for a long time and was familiar with the way Huang Taiji and others acted. After looking at the map, Liu Xingzuo was shocked: "If my prediction is good, maybe reinforcements from Jiannu have arrived at Biti Pavilion."
Zhang Yingwu said anxiously: "General, now let's rush to Biti Pavilion quickly and act according to the plan."
"No..." Liu Xingzuo immediately rejected Zhang Yingwu's suggestion: "If there are really slaves coming to reinforce, then they will definitely hoard food and grass in the rear."
Zhang Yingwu reacted immediately: "Destroy the food and grass for the slaves..."
Liu Xingzuo nodded: "The land in North Korea is barren, and Amin's 70,000 troops are marching south to Hanyang. Food and grass are a huge burden, and North Korea's terrain is difficult, so a lot of consumption will be consumed along the way.
Secondly, North Korea has been severely squeezed before. There is a serious food shortage in the north. The people can only eat grass roots. If the food and grass of the slaves are burned, our army will win this battle. "
Under the choice of facing the opponent directly, sneak attacking their rear baggage team and then outflanking them, the opponent's psychological quality can no longer be compared with that before the war.
Although Zhang Yingwu is the commander of the 52nd Division, he needs to obey Liu Xingzuo's orders.
The rumors circulating in Shanghai before the expedition made his Zhang family a little embarrassed. It was a big deal to make meritorious service during the expedition.
"I will obey General Liu's orders."
.
"Return..."
"The Tatars retreated..."
"Ho ho ho..."
Waves of shouts erupted on the Second Division position. Liu Liangzuo threw away the incomplete knife in his hand and replaced it with a brand new long knife. However, the hand holding the knife was trembling a little, and there was a long stripe on his back. blade.
The soldiers were bandaging him and applying good medicine powder that caused him to break out in cold sweat from the pain.
"Gather the soldiers, bandage the wounded immediately, and send them all to Bukhan Mountain City."
Chen Cao put down his telescope indifferently. The opponent's casualties were at least ten thousand, while Liu Liangzuo's Sixth Brigade of his own second division had been crippled, and there were only more than a thousand people left in the whole brigade.
"If it weren't for the Wugang chariot, they wouldn't have had the chance to advance two hundred steps with infantry."
Feng Zhongping said angrily: "Your Majesty, why don't you let the general lead someone to touch it at night?"
"The artillery formation was affected and a lot of ammunition was destroyed." Chen Cao looked at the battlefield in the distance with a cold eyebrow: "Since Amin wants to annihilate us all, we have to see if we are idiots."
Xu Fuyuan took a deep breath: "According to the pace, Commander Tang's team should be at the place now. I just don't know what's going on with General Liu."
There are no official roads around Shenchuan that can pass the army. There are only Yangchang roads for local mountain people to walk. The sergeants can only walk three people abreast. The continuous procession is as spectacular as a long snake.
Not long after, a horse came running from the muddy roads on both sides of the road. The knight on the horse clasped his fists and said, "Military seat, the vanguard is less than twenty miles away from Biti Pavilion."
"How is the situation on the battlefield?"
Tang Yannian rode into the muddy road.
"Back to the military seat, the prince's Chinese army and the Jiannu Tatar soldiers had a battle on the battlefield directly in front of the Biti Pavilion. Both sides had a victory or defeat. They have now stopped fighting."
Tang Yannian looked up at the sinking sky. Thinking of the plan he had with Chen Cao before leaving, he shouted angrily: "The whole army must hurry up and arrive at Biti Pavilion before nightfall."
Du Du, who was patrolling on the left wing, was just about to return to camp when a knight came quickly: "Sir... our scouts discovered an abnormal situation north of Bald Mountain..."
Now is the time when the two armies are fighting. We must be cautious in any situation. Du Du asked: "How?"
"Local Koreans said they saw countless Ming people in the north of Bald Mountain."
Du Du was shocked and immediately called over a hundred of his subordinates to run towards Bald Mountain: "Go to the Central Army quickly and report this matter to the commander-in-chief..."
