"Are there really Donglu soldiers out there?"
Sun Chuanting asked Huang Degong solemnly.
Huang Degong hurriedly replied: "Back to Zhongcheng, there are indeed Donglu soldiers out there, and they are the Donglu soldiers that the general found last time. Later, another person touched them and observed them. The general used a telescope to find these. There is a yellow belt among the Donglu soldiers!"
Sun Chuanting nodded after hearing this: "It seems that Houjin's life has become increasingly difficult, so much so that Nurhaci now dares not to send surrendered generals out to plunder, but only dares to send kin generals whom he absolutely trusts! He is afraid of these surrendered generals. If he comes out alone, he will directly surrender to the imperial court! If we can eat more than a thousand Donglu soldiers this time, then Nurhachi's absolute trust in the power will become less and less, and Nurhaci's huge gold will only make people more popular. Think about it! Then we are not far away from my Ming Dynasty pacifying this group of rebels!"
With that said, Sun Chuanting asked Huang Degong again: "Where are they camping now?"
"Flower Camp!"
Huang Degong replied immediately.
Sun Chuanting hurriedly pulled out the map of the Guangning Guard area and looked at it, then pointed to a place called Zhenbian Fort and ordered: "Zhou Yuji! Lu Xiangsheng! You should immediately lead the 1,000th Infantry Headquarters of the Guards Battalion to set up an ambush here. It is best to set up an ambush here." Defeat this Donglu army, if not, retreat to Zheng'an Fort in time!"
"Please rest assured, Zhongcheng, the general will definitely be able to defeat this Donglu army!"
Zhou Yuji replied.
Lu Xiangsheng did not answer.
Sun Chuanting only smiled coldly: "If the fight is not good, I will not say a good word to His Majesty on your behalf."
Next.
Zhou Yuji and Lu Xiangsheng took the 1,000th Infantry Headquarters of the Guards Battalion to Zhenbian Fort.
After that, Sun Chuanting sent someone to tell Xiong Tingbi and told Liaodong Manager Xiong Tingbi about everything that had happened recently in Guangning City, and told Xiong Tingbi that he planned to ambush a group of Donglu troops outside Guangning City.
After Xiong Tingbi found out, he didn't send anyone to stop Sun Chuanting from doing this.
Because as the manager of Liaodong, his main responsibility is to coordinate the overall situation, defend the entire Liaodong, dispatch some troops and horses to attack the Donglu at any time, but mainly to resist the attack of the Donglu on the inside, while Sun Chuanting is responsible for handling some emergencies on the move, mainly in Annihilate Donglu's effective forces on the outside.
The division of labor between the two was different, so Xiong Tingbi did not interfere too much with Sun Chuanting.
This era is no better than later generations, and is limited by the objective conditions of not being so fast in communication. Therefore, Liaodong now needs both a manager to coordinate the overall situation and a governor to deal with it flexibly.
Sun Chuanting then used his power to continue to mobilize troops. After letting the 1,000th Infantry Headquarters of the Guards Battalion ambush the Donglu soldiers, he would ask other Liao officers and troops to lay siege to the ambushed Donglu soldiers. To achieve the goal of completely eating these more than a thousand Donglu soldiers.
So, next, Sun Chuanting successively transferred Qi Bingzhong, the commander-in-chief of Zhenning Fort, Liu Qu, the commander-in-chief of Zhenwu Fort, and Luo Yiguan, the deputy commander-in-chief of Xiping Fort, and each led his troops to Weijialing Pass, preparing to cooperate with the Guards Battalion to suppress the attack. This Donglu soldier.
Because many spies in the city who had colluded with the Donglu, such as Sun Degong, Shi Tingzhu, Pingyang Bridge guard Min Yunlong, and Zhenwu Fort Chief Jin Li, etc., have all been killed, so Sun Chuanting naturally trusted the local generals of Guangning Wei such as Qi Bingzhong. They were also mobilized to participate in the meeting to suppress the Donglu soldiers.
Of course, Sun Chuanting still placed his main hope on the Guards Battalion.
Because the Guards Battalion is the main force of the first echelon responsible for setting up ambush and defeating the Donglu soldiers.
As long as the Donglu soldiers can be defeated, it will be considered a victory for Sun Chuanting.
But Sun Chuanting naturally hoped that if these Donglu soldiers could be wiped out by other officers and soldiers after being defeated by the Guards Battalion, this would make it possible for these more than a thousand Donglu soldiers to never return, and make it easier for other Donglu soldiers in the future. We no longer dare to randomly come to the Ming Dynasty to suppress bandits, and even if we come, we will not dare to send less than a thousand people.
Outside the town border fort, on a snowy field covered in silver, the Habayashi Guard officers and soldiers from the 1,000th Guards Battalion headquarters were arrayed behind the two hillsides of the First Official Road.
Zhou Yuji and Lu Xiangsheng each led a division.
At the same time, Huang Degong also led five hundred sentry riders, waiting in the town's border fort to respond to the Yulin Guards led by Zhou Yuji and Lu Xiangsheng.
When Bayala and Cherge appeared here with a thousand Donglu soldiers, Zhou Yuji and Lu Xiangsheng each led a division and rushed down the hillside.
"Kill!"
For a moment, the sound of killing was loud.
The two hillsides were sparkling with armor.
Bayala and Cherge were shocked when they saw this. Although they had sent scouts to Zhenbian Fort in advance to check for sentries, they did not expect that as soon as they arrived at Zhenbian Fort, so many Ming troops suddenly appeared here, and Still waiting for work, he began to ambush himself.
The Guards Battalion actually came out of the Zhenbian Fort after the Donglu sentry returned, and then set up an ambush here in advance.
Therefore, the Donglu soldiers were surprised by the appearance of the Guards Battalion.
At this time, the Guards Battalion had already begun firing artillery.
Many cannonballs flew over the two hillsides and overturned many Donglu soldiers' carriages.
But Bayala was also a very calm and calm veteran, so he did not panic. At this moment, he immediately ordered: "Stop advancing, turn around, and kill these Ming troops!"
Naturally, Bayala cannot call for retreat at this time, because retreat will only lead to total annihilation and collapse.
Moreover, Bayala found that there were not many Ming troops, so he decided to fight with these Ming troops who set up an ambush here.
After all, these Donglu soldiers were veterans of Nurhachi's command. Many of them were armored soldiers. Therefore, they had very good fighting qualities. Although the Ming army's artillery kept knocking over their carriages, these Donglu soldiers still carried out the carriages in an orderly manner. The cart was pushed to the flank to form the first line of defense, and then many Donglu soldiers holding shields began to automatically form a shield wall to form the second line of defense.
At the same time, the Donglu soldiers behind the shield wall began to shoot heavy arrows at the officers and soldiers of the Guards Battalion who were rushing towards them.
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Many heavy arrows shot from the sky, directly hitting the officers and soldiers of the Guards Battalion rushing down the slope.
Some officers and soldiers of the Guards Battalion in the front row were unfortunately hit by arrows.
"ah!"
The officers and soldiers of the Guards Battalion who were hit by arrows even screamed because of this. Most of them were on the battlefield for the first time, so they were a little nervous at this moment.
"Knife and shield, hold up shield!"
But at this time, both the junior flag officer and the chief flag officer at the grassroots level shouted loudly.
As a result, many sword and shield bearers in the front row of the Guards battalion officers and soldiers began to subconsciously raise their shields to form a formation. Suddenly, a row of shield walls was formed on the Guards battalion officers and soldiers' side.
"Firearmsman fire!"
At this time, under the orders of the grassroots Yulin Guard military attache, the Yulin Guard firearmsmen who participated in actual combat for the first time began to shoot at the Donglu soldiers in front of them.
The first to open fire was the Class A Firearms Team. The so-called Class A Firearms Team was the trump card among the firearms teams in the Guards Battalion.
Because the soldiers of these Class A firearms teams are the strongest, calmest and most adept at operating firearms selected from various firearms hands.
Therefore, the soldiers of these Class A firearms teams all use turtle dove guns, which weigh more than 20 kilograms but have a long range and have far greater penetration than machine guns.
After all, not everyone can operate and shoot the turtle dove gun that weighs more than 20 kilograms with ease.
boom!
boom!
boom!
At this time, Chen Xin held a turtle dove gun in both hands and fired at the Donglu soldiers' carriage outside the shield wall.
Immediately, the planks of the carriage were shattered, and the Donglu soldiers pushing the shield carriage behind also screamed and fell to the ground.
At the same time, the carts pushed by other Donglu soldiers were also penetrated by the turtle dove guns used by the firearmsmen of other Guards battalions.
In addition, many Donglu soldiers holding shields in the back and many Donglu soldiers behind the shield wall were also hit and fell to the ground by the firearmsmen of the Guards Battalion.
As a result, people on both sides kept falling.
However, the penetrating power of the heavy arrows was ultimately not as good as the new firearms in the hands of the Guards Battalion: the Turtle Dove Gun and the Mechanical Gun, and most of them were blocked by the Guards Battalion's shield wall. Therefore, the Donglu soldiers suffered more casualties.
Its carriages could not stop the firearms of the Guards Battalion at all.
And because of this, these Bayalas began to panic and said: "Cherge, this Ming army seems to be extraordinary. Their guns are more equipped than the Ming army they have dealt with before, and they are also more well-trained."
"Yes, Taiji, the slaves also noticed it. Although they seemed a little rusty and panicked when fighting, they obviously obeyed the command and took the initiative to replace the injured sword, shield and firearms hands. This is a team that is not easy to deal with. Soldiers and horses!”
Cherge couldn't help but clenched the knife in his hand, frowned and spoke.
