His eyes turned back to Ning Guta.
The Qing army's Ningguta camp commander and Jilin general Mingliang received the sentinel report on April 8. When the Northern Navy arrived at the military station in Dongning Village, the Qing army's checkpoints along the way began to light up smoke alarms.
On April 25, the leading troops of Liu Sheng of the Northern Navy finally arrived at a location thirty miles west of the old city of Ningguta, and exchanged fire with the Qing army's scout troops.
This time, the Northern Navy dispatched two regiments and two battalions, plus logistics and transportation troops, totaling 8,000 people. It is not difficult to defeat the 15,000 Qing troops in Ningguta Camp. The infantry assaults in the front and the artillery behind Just bomb it indiscriminately.
This time Zhao Xin's request for Liu Sheng and Fan Tong was not only to defeat them, but also to capture more prisoners.
It is said that the current recruitment ratio of the Northern Navy is already high enough. It would be a waste to leave tens of thousands of Qing troops and civilians unused. Moreover, since occupying Linggao Jinshan, Zhao Xin has become less interested in catching meat tickets in exchange for money.
Fan Tongtong took advantage of his free time on the road to flip through the military information on his headband, drawing pictures and setting up formations. After Liu Sheng heard about it, he came over to take a look out of curiosity the first day, but he looked at it expressionlessly. After a while, he turned around and left.
A few days later, Fan Tong took a stack of plans he had written and excitedly told Liu Sheng that we could use "intersection" and "outflanking" to completely annihilate the Qing army on the east bank of the Hulha River.
In order to show respect, Liu Sheng read it patiently, but he only replied with eight words: "Whimsical and self-destructive."
How could Fan Tong accept such an answer? He reluctantly pulled Liu Sheng to give him an explanation. He obtained this plan by reading seven or eight war-related books and "drawing nourishment" from the war movies he had watched before. He saw the discipline and marching ability of the Beihai Navy, so why couldn't they attack and encircle them?
Liu Sheng actually liked Fan Tong, a fat man, otherwise he wouldn't have agreed to let him be his deputy. After having had enough excuses, he said to Fan Tong: "I know your plans are all based on those classics in books." They were copied from the battles. But Xiao Fan, those battles are called classics precisely because they cannot be copied!
Moreover, the feudal society of the Central Plains dynasty used troops in the plains to fight in large formations, with strong camps and clear echelons. For this situation, it's enough to bombard him with cannons, what kind of fun is it! Fighter opportunities must be discovered during combat and cannot be preset. "
"But Zhao Xin asked us to capture more prisoners..."
Liu Sheng said disapprovingly: "If we defeat them, we will naturally have prisoners. If we come up and engage in intersecting operations, once the Qing army notices, they will be surrounded by heavy troops. No matter how fast our soldiers run, can they be as fast as war horses?"
Fan Tong thought for a while and said: "Then we break through head-on and look for opportunities to separate and encircle?"
"Yes! This is called bullying. We have to fight head-on and look for opportunities in the battle! Otherwise, how do you think we caught Fukangan in the first place?"
On the other hand, at the Qing army camp, Jilin General Mingliang's heart was in his throat ever since he knew that thousands of people from the Northern Navy had arrived. He knew very well that the guns of the Beihai Navy were extremely sharp, and if they stuck to the camp, they would definitely be beaten.
So he ordered Dai Senbao, the deputy commander of the Mongolian flag of Zhengbai Banner, and Bobin, the deputy commander of the Manchuria Xianghuang Banner, to lead the Musket Cavalry Battalion of 3,000 people. He asked them to delay the action of attracting the Northern Navy and lead the opponent's main force to the center of the battle line. Do not fight in formation to avoid bombardment by the Northern Navy's artillery.
At the same time, he ordered two people, Shuo Yunbao and Wan Ting, the commander of the escort army with a white flag, each to lead a thousand archers and shotgun soldiers to outflank the left and right wings of the northern navy, and attack with cold guns and arrows in the hilly forest. , forcing the North Navy's troops to move closer to the center.
The remaining 10,000 soldiers entered the trenches dug in advance and waited. If the North Navy came up, they would fire artillery. The soldiers in the trenches would move to the north and south ends of the trenches to avoid damage from the artillery fire and go around to the wings of the North Navy to annihilate them.
Na Qitai, the deputy commander of Ningguta City, hurriedly sent someone to check how much silver and ginseng leather goods were in the warehouses in the city. At the same time, he ordered his men to keep an eye on the merchants who opened shops in Ningguta City. They are not allowed to leave the city.
"Why use guns and cannons? If you are short of money, just send someone over and say, make an appointment and I will send it to you!" Na Qitai stood on the gate of Ninggu Pagoda, looking nervously to the east. The busy Qing army camp was muttering.
The assistant leader behind him was transferred from Sichuan and had not seen the power of the Bei Navy. Looking at the nagging Na Qitai, Xie Ling wondered if he was suffering from a demonic disorder.
Only a few thousand people came from the Northern Navy, but there were tens of thousands of people on the other side of the river; besides, there were more than 20 Yaksa warships on the Hulha River, and the cannons on them were not ordinary!
After a while, the Qitai Goshiha ran up to the tower, knelt down on one knee and said: "Your Majesty, every merchant in the city has been sent to watch, and all four gates have been cleared. No one can get out!"
After hearing this, the assistant leader transferred from Sichuan exclaimed: "The deputy governor has great foresight! If the army on the other side of the river does not have enough food and grass, these businessmen can also donate enthusiastically."
"Yes! Yes!" A group of assistant leaders and assistant leaders around them praised in unison. How could they not pat the horses now?
Na Qitai smiled and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart: "This time, Thief Zhao's redemption fee should be enough!"
Others didn't know how powerful the Beihai Navy was, but he knew it best. The gunnery demonstration by the Beihai Navy under Ningguta City two years ago made him often dream about it at midnight, and he would wake up sweating profusely.
In the early morning of April 27, the Northern Navy began to dispatch, with two battalions of the First Regiment of the Northern Navy as the vanguard, advancing towards the Qing army camp thirty miles away.
One kilometer behind the First Regiment were the columns of the Second Regiment and the Fifth Regiment that were covering the advance of the artillery. The artillery was arranged in the middle of the Second Regiment and the Fifth Regiment. This time Liu Sheng brought ten 75mm field guns newly built in Beihai Town. The maximum range of these guns was only 6,500 meters, and there were not many shells made in the arsenal. There were only more than 400 shells in total. As for the weapons each regiment deployed The 82mm mortar has a maximum range of only three thousand meters. Therefore, the Northern Navy infantry had to advance to a position two kilometers away from the Qing army's line.
In order to prevent the enemy from sneak attacks from both wings, the two regiments detached a battalion of troops and deployed firepower groups in ranked units on both wings of the column.
"Sir, the bandits are attacking!"
"Oh? How many people are here?"
"There are several hundred people, but the bandits opening the way ahead are all in twos and threes, spread out widely."
After hearing this, Dai Senbao rode up to the mound with his soldiers, took the telescope handed by Goshiha and looked eastward. In the distance, he saw the Northern Navy wearing grass green military uniforms dotted in the wilderness, almost all in three colors. People work in groups and move forward alternately.
"The thieves are so brainless that they actually dare to arrange their troops in such a formation?" Dai Senbao couldn't understand. He estimated that there were almost a hundred people in the Northern Navy walking in front.
At this time, the third-class guard Saninga beside him said: "Sir, the last general is willing to be the vanguard. I only need two hundred people! This is too arrogant. You must teach him a lesson!"
Dai Senbao pondered for a moment and said: "Even if the thieves have sharp firearms, they scatter their troops like this, they are just looking for death! I will give you five hundred soldiers, but you must kill them for their majesty!"
Thanks to the unremitting basic teachings of these veterans from Wang Yuanfang, the Beihai Navy strictly followed the "three-three system" infantry tactics. The leading company of Pan Xiucheng's regiment formed several regular triangle advance formations in the wilderness; each squadron It can fight independently or work together for cover. In fact, the North Korean Navy's tactics are simple, direct and crude, covering, attacking, covering again, and attacking again.
Dai Senbao and Saninga had no idea what kind of monster they were facing. They mistakenly thought that relying on the attack of cavalry, they could encircle and annihilate the scattered formations of more than a hundred people in front of them.
"Squad leader, look, the enemy is out!"
Ma San, a former veteran of the Qing Army and now squad leader of the Second Battalion of the 1st Battalion of the Northern Navy Regiment, saw a Qing Army cavalry with flags waving emerging from behind the hills a mile away. His face was full of disdain and he loudly ordered: "Get ready to meet the enemy!"
In fact, after the First World War in Fuldan City, not all Qing prisoners were willing to go back. In the end, after screening, more than 300 people were left behind, and Ma San was one of them. At the beginning of last year, Ma San was recruited to join the Beihai Navy due to his outstanding performance in the construction team. The reason why he was willing to join the army was for the food and fifty acres of land from the Northern Navy.
Because of the long-term and sustained training methods, these Eight Banners Musketeers transferred from Ili still use the same old mounted and archery tactics; that is, they carry out intensive attacks in small waves, and stop firing or wait until they are 100 to 80 meters away from the target. Archery.
Don't underestimate the bow and arrow shooting of these Tianshan Banner Camp soldiers.
In the Qing Dynasty, "force" was used as the unit of bow pulling force, and one force was nine pounds and fourteen taels. The draw weight of Sauron soldiers' war bows is basically more than eight force. Eight force is ninety-three pounds. When put on modern bows and arrows, it is more than 104 pounds.
Is a man who can lift ninety pounds with one hand using his waist and back a strong man?
As a veteran of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty, Ma San was well aware of the power of bows and arrows on Sauron's cavalry, so when the Qing army's cavalry was still 200 meters away from the Beihai Navy, the rifle in his hand opened fire first, and then the squad's light machine guns also started firing. Shot. At the same time, the two squads behind Ma San and the others also moved closer and joined the fight.
"Bang bang bang! Bang bang bang!"
Ma San saw that several horses in the Qing army's cavalry were shot, and he cursed angrily: "These losers! Can't you see such a big living person? Those are all good horses!"
A soldier next to him shouted: "Squad leader, the enemies are lying on their horses, so we can only hit the horses!"
Ma San kept firing and said, "What a pity for these horses!"
Sanin'a thought very well. He divided the five hundred men into two groups, one to lure the enemy from the front, and the other to outflank the enemy. The two hundred people in the front were spread out widely, and they were all leaning on horses. There were even many awesome people who came to hide in stirrups. With the riding skills of these people, even if the horse is injured, they can quickly break away from the horse and launch an attack as infantry.
The problem is that soldiers in the musket era couldn't understand what a machine gun was...
A company with three platoons and nine PKM machine guns formed a 90-degree fan shape, like a huge sickle. Wherever it passed, every Qing army was turned upside down. As for the Sauron soldiers who jumped off their horses and were about to rush up to bend their bows and shoot arrows, they were called out by rifles. As for the Qing soldiers who were hiding behind the corpses of their horses, they were overwhelmed by the dense rain of bullets and were unable to raise their heads to shoot.
Sauron soldiers are brave. This bravery comes from the fact that relatives of the same village and clan are all comrades around them. Relatives and friends encouraged each other during the battle, and the bloody bravery of the Sauron people was brought into play.
When the outflanking Qing army cavalry approached a hundred meters away from the right wing of the Northern Navy, they all slowed down their horses and started shooting.
"Boom, boom, boom" muskets roared, and streams of white smoke rose up and dispersed from the cavalry. The cavalry behind them could not see clearly, so they had no choice but to instinctively shoot out the arrows in their hands.
Without the support of the trenches, Ma San's squad suffered casualties. Several soldiers who were standing and shooting were knocked to the ground by arrows shot out from the smoke. They fell to the ground in pain and screamed at the top of their lungs. .
"Follow me!" a squad leader shouted to his men, and seven soldiers rushed to the right front of Masanban Squadron, crouched down and kept shooting into the smoke. Then the machine gun followed, found a good position and started firing violently.
The third-class guard Saning'a, who was responsible for leading the team to outflank, was about to ride his horse forward when he suddenly felt the body of the horse shaking under his crotch, and the horse's head tilted to the left. Knowing that something was wrong, he jumped out as soon as he pressed the saddle.
After he rolled twice on the ground, and just about to get up, he felt a stream of hot fire passing through his left arm, and his entire left arm suddenly became unconscious; Saninga desperately crawled to a fallen war horse. He was hiding behind the corpse. The pain from the wound on his left arm had already made him sweat profusely and almost fainted.
"Kill them all!"
After the smoke, with an angry roar, a hundred strong Sauron soldiers holding bows, arrows and spears shouted and came over to kill.
"Fix bayonets!" Following several shouts, some Bei navy soldiers who had exhausted their magazines also showed the bayonets under their guns.
Seeing that the two sides were still twenty or thirty meters away from each other, they started running and arrived in a blink of an eye. Suddenly, a dense rain of gunfire sounded from the left side of the Qing army. Several Sauron soldiers who were rushing at the front were knocked to the ground. ; On the opposite side, the Beihai Navy, who was about to fight with bayonets, was afraid of being hit by his own people, so he immediately fell to the ground.
The two companies behind the leading company arrived.
Standing on the mound, Dai Senbao and others heard the gunfire like popping beans. They didn't take it seriously at first, but after a while they realized something was wrong.
What is that thing that keeps making the popping noise? Why are there such guns in the world? !
"Ming Jin! Hurry! Get them all back!"
That's too late!
"The bow and arrows are useless!" Saninga let go of the hard bow in his hand and covered the wound with his right hand, grinning in pain. He thought that this battle was too frustrating! The thieves must have used witchcraft. He was only shot in his left arm. Why did it hurt so much?
Saning'a was injured during the rebellion in Gansu. At that time, an iron bullet from the rebels hit him in the thigh, but he still gritted his teeth and rushed forward, hacking to death the Muslim who shot him. .
At this time, the intensive gunshots all around gradually subsided, and only occasionally a "bang" could be heard. The wails of the wounded and the neighing of war horses became clearly audible. After bandaging themselves, the North Navy's ambulance soldiers also began to provide first aid to some of the injured Sauron soldiers in front of the formation.
Saning'a knew that the situation was over. He gritted his teeth and pulled out his sword, and looked out from behind the horse's body. Unexpectedly, just when half of his head was exposed, his vision suddenly went dark and he fell down.
The piercing gunshot sounded after Saninga's head exploded. Ma San lowered the muzzle of his gun, bent down and ran over to take a look, and was immediately overjoyed.
"I killed a high official!"
