Gao Hongtu is obviously a man who likes cars. In his previous life, when he was organizing a team training in Shandong, he used a car formation to fight against Dodo. In this life, he was sent by Chongzhen to be the governor of Shuntian and also in charge of the Tongzhou team training, so he took the car formation route again.
However, the resources he has now cannot be compared with what he had when he was the governor of Shandong in his previous life. Although his Shuntian governor is not small and he manages a lot of territory, his real "team training authority" is only in Tongzhou. .
In addition, because he is the governor, he can have his own patrol badge. Therefore, Gao Hongtu had many more weapons on hand than the leaders of several other regiments, but it was still incomparable to when he had full power over Shandong Province.
Therefore, there are only 7,500 people he has brought to Tangzhishan for group training today, and 2,000 of them are from Shunyi County Magistrate Lu Zhenfei.
In addition to the lack of people, the cars are also relatively poor. There is no four-wheeled vehicle, it is just a two-wheeled vehicle with a wooden board on the front and another wooden board on the right side of the body... This is the so-called "partial box". There were no horses to pull the carts, it was all driven by manpower. You can also put things on the car, such as rations, armor, weapons, carbine guns, antlers, etc. It's a big pile. During the march, the regiment members pushed the carts on foot, and when they arrived at the battlefield, they stopped doing other things and set up the cart formation first.
It’s not like we’re going to make any complicated formations—no way! How long has it been since Tongzhou Group Training was opened? Therefore, we only set up a circle array, which is to surround hundreds of large partial box trucks in a circle and connect them end to end with ropes to form one body. Of course, the passage in and out must still be maintained. Then the regiment members took off the anti-horse rifles and antlers from the sidecars and placed them outside the car formation to form a circle of protection.
In fact, such a vehicle formation cannot be said to be very strong, but on the Tangzhishan battlefield in October of the first year of Chongzhen, the vehicle formation deployed by the Tongzhou and Shunyi regiments for training was still very beneficial to the Ming army.
The vehicle formation gave the Ming cavalry, which was at an absolute numerical disadvantage, a reliable forward stronghold. Horses, baggage, auxiliary troops, and wounded can all be stored in it, and the tired cavalry can also retreat into the chariot formation to rest.
So the chariot formation had just been set up, and the official flag of Governor Shuntian of the Ming Dynasty had just been hoisted, when three loyal martyrs of the Ming Dynasty were carried in by the people under their hands... Zhu Chunchen, who was holding his fists to fight the cavalry attack, also came , came in crying holding a Zhonglie who was placed on horseback.
"Hou Funing, you died so miserably... There are so many famous generals in your family, and they have been so good at fighting for several generations. Why can't you? Wuwu... "
Gao Hongtu had been an official in Beijing for many years, so of course he knew Zhu Chunchen, and he was quite familiar with the Fu Ning empress Zhu Guobi whom Zhu Chunchen sobbed about. Hearing from his subordinates that Zhu Chunchen had escaped, he immediately went to greet him at the entrance of the carriage array. He saw a dark, thin and crying Zhu Chunchen, and when he heard that the Marquis of Funing was dead, he was immediately shocked.
"Mr. Cheng Guo, you said that Marquis Funing..."
Zhu Chunchen cried and pointed to the corpse carried on the horse he was restraining, "This is Funing Hou, see for yourself..."
Gao Hongtu went up to take a look and saw a knight in silver armor without a helmet lying on the horse. His head seemed to have been broken by something, and it was all covered with congealed blood.
"Have you... let the doctor take a look at this? Can it still be cured?"
"What to treat?" Zhu Chunchen cried and said, "There was a big hole in his head. When I found him, his brains were bleeding all over the floor... He had run out of breath for a long time!"
This Zhu Chunchen is quite loyal. After rushing from the battlefield with bare hands for a while, he did not run away to care for himself. Instead, he turned around and met up with Zu Dashou who was holding the battle. He changed his horse and found a spear. , just followed the ancestral army and fought the second wave. However, he did not chase down the fleeing Eight Banners soldiers. Instead, he searched for his comrades who were killed or injured on the battlefield, then rescued the wounded and brought back a large group of wounded soldiers and the bodies of many martyrs.
Although Zhu Youjian won the cavalry battle today, his group of "honored nobles" and their servants and guards suffered heavy casualties!
Among the "Seven Great Nobles", the Marquis of Funing Zhu Guobi had his head smashed with a hammer. When Zhu Chunchen picked him up on the battlefield, he had already died of anger for a long time... He had paid back the life he owed!
Xinchengbo Zhao Zhilong’s head went somewhere? Only one body was recovered, and it was carried on the back of the horse. Xu Yunzhen, the prince of Duke Dingguo, also became a loyal martyr and was stabbed through with a spear!
The bodies of the three loyal martyrs have been found, and Zhu Chunchen, who was rescued from the dead and wounded, was brought to Gao Hongtu.
In addition, Li Zunzu, Li Shouqi and Liu Kongzhao all escaped death and were all injured.
Among them, Li Zunzu was the most seriously injured. He was carried back on a simple stretcher... He had an Eight Banners soldier shoot him off his horse with a spear. Not only did he have a bruised nose and face, but he was also stabbed in the buttocks by a spear. one time. When Zhu Chunchen found him, he was lying on the ground crying, with a carbine broken in two stuck in his butt!
Li Shouqi, the uncle of Xiangcheng, was seriously injured. He was shot through the arm by a long arrow and bled a lot. His health was not good and he could not wear heavy armor, so he wore a cloth cover without iron sheets. A fools people......
Liu Kongzhao was slightly injured. When Zhu Chunchen found him, he had been shot into a hedgehog! However, he was wearing good armor, so he was not seriously injured. It was just that his horse was shot to death and his foot sprained when he fell to the ground.
Of the seven great nobles, three have become loyal martyrs, two cannot afford to be seriously injured, and there are only two left who can be used for the time being.
I really have to pay back my life!
"Mr. Cheng Guo..." Gao Hongtu looked at the wounded and Zhonglie's body brought back by Zhu Chunchen, his scalp was a little numb, "Then, then...who won?"
"Of course we won..." Zhu Chunchen, Duke of Chengguo, breathed out, "otherwise, how could I collect the corpses of so many loyal men?"
"Then long live the Lord..."
Zhu Chunchen said: "He's still killing the enemy in front!"
While he was speaking, a blast of firecrackers sounded like fried beans, coming from the foot of Tangzhi Mountain in front.
Zhu Chunchen said: "Did you hear that? The knights in front of the command tent are shooting at the slave thieves who are camping with Rumi blunderbuss!"
...
Huang Taiji on Tangzhi Mountain also heard the annoying sound of firecrackers firing!
However, he had no intention of going to war. Instead, he personally took Amin and Mang Gurtai to the camp of Zhenghongqi to visit Daishan, who had been shot twice by Zhu Youjian.
The two arrows have been pulled out and shown to Huang Taiji. They are both good arrows and the best ones are "three different". There is also a name on the arrow shaft, which is engraved with "Arrow of the Emperor of Heaven". Needless to say, the one who shot Daishan was Zhu Youjian himself!
Da Mingzi led the troops into the battle, and he was also able to shoot seven or eight arrows on the galloping horse, two of which hit Daishan who was thirty or forty steps away.
This ability... almost catches up with Lu Fengxian in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms"!
It was really a bit tricky to meet such a brave and capable Emperor of the Ming Dynasty!
When Huang Taiji was having a headache, a sound of crying that sounded false suddenly sounded outside Daishan's tent.
"Aaaaaaah...Ama, you died so miserably!"
"Amma, just go with peace of mind. I, Shuotuo, will definitely avenge you..."
"Hasalian, why don't you think favorably of Amma? It's your fault that Amma's fighting skills are poor..."
When Huang Taiji heard the noise outside, he knew that it was Daishan's two filial sons, Yue Tuo, the owner of the red flag, and his younger brother Shuo Tuo. Daishan's two sons were born to Daishan's ex-wife. They were not liked by Daishan and his stepmother. Their relationship with Daishan was very bad. Daishan was a cruel man. He once wanted to kill these two sons, especially It is Shuo Tuo, the second son.
Now Yue Tuo and Shuo Tuo heard the news about Dai Shan's death in battle from nowhere, so they came here to mourn...
Daishan looked angry, "These two traitors are looking forward to my death, so I should kill them!"
Huang Taiji was also a little helpless and could only persuade him with good words: "Da Beile, they are all filial sons and filial sons... Why not, why not let them come in and say hello?"
