Goryeo, Gyeonggi Province.
"Everyone, push forward as hard as you can. Hongyi cannons are hard-to-buy items. We must bring them with us no matter what! Hey, okay, let the brothers put some more bundles of materials into the pit. Otherwise, we I can’t get enough of it…”
The army marched for more than two miles, and until Mengcun Tucheng could no longer be seen clearly, Kang Lin ordered his flag troops to light kerosene lamps for lighting! Thanks to the poor roads of the Koreans, Chiyang's artillery team kept going from one deep pit to another. Finally, in a huge deep pit, four or five Hongyi cannons were completely laid down. The heavy thing weighing over a thousand kilograms was now deeply stuck in the mud pit. No matter how hard the Chiyang artillerymen dragged it, it could not move at all. Even if Kang Lin brought his own soldiers to help, he could not get the artillery truck to crawl out of the pit again. So, the guy asked Chang Jiansheng to direct the reserve soldiers to put bundles of dry firewood under the four wheels of the artillery cart, and use thick hemp ropes to tie the cannon body and drag it upward! And this move really worked, because with the concerted efforts of everyone, the unusually heavy Hongyi cannon finally moved!
As soon as Kang Lin saw something was going on, he immediately led his soldiers to jump into the pit, rolled up his sleeves, gathered enough strength, and began to push the cannon with all his strength! Little by little, when the time came to the end of the ugly moment, the five large and small Hongyi cannons finally climbed out of the deep pit and came to the harder land. Next, in order for these heavy artillery carriages to travel faster and more smoothly, the former quickly ordered a reserve force to carry bundles of dry firewood and go out to repair the bumpy roads, making sure not to become a roadblock that restricted the speed of their own march. The reservists also carried out his orders well. So, when a hint of fish belly white faintly appeared on the horizon, Chiyang's army of nearly a thousand troops finally arrived less than a mile away from the seaside. After trekking in the middle of the night, they had left the Eight Banners soldiers under Gurma Hui ten miles away. Now they only needed to walk a few hundred steps forward to board the ship and leave!
"Lord Guard, the Tartars sent sentry cavalry to reconnoiter Tucheng at the beginning of the war. After being repelled several times by us, the commander-in-chief Gurma Hui led his troops to press forward. We, with a small number of soldiers, resisted with all our strength. However, I abandoned the Tucheng and rode here to join the army. I hope the guard can make preparations in advance, and the Tartar cavalry will arrive soon..."
However, at this moment, a thunderous sound of horse hooves suddenly sounded in everyone's ears. Kang Lin, Yan Si, Fan Huzi and others heard the sound and immediately raised their monocular telescopes! Through the latter's unclear lenses, several people discovered that there were seven or eight red-armored cavalry in a state of disgrace, approaching their own army! That was the Chiyang Duanhou troops led by Captain Humas. After blocking a round of attacks from the Manchu and Qing scouts, they ultimately failed to block the main force of the Manchu and Qing troops, and were then completely expelled from the Tucheng battlefield!
According to the news brought back by these remnant soldiers, Kang Lin and other Chiyang senior officials can clearly judge that the Manchu and Qing army is not far away from their own side! The Eight Banners deserves to be the Eight Banners, and Gurma Hui deserves to be Gur Ma Hui. After they defeated and eliminated Chiyang's remaining troops, they soon realized that they had been tricked! Therefore, Lord Beile immediately arranged for his deputy, Xia Junzhenghuangqi Mele Erzhenshuergentu to lead the main force of the army to clean the battlefield and occupy Mengcun Tucheng. He led 300 elite cavalry to pursue them day and night. Chiyang's group escaped!
"Boss Fan, take the main force of the army out of here quickly. Remember, you are not allowed to leave a cannon or a person behind. As for the others, Yan Zanhua, Deputy Commander Dong, Captain Wan, and Captain Ma , you hurry up and gather your troops and get ready to fight! The Tartars think that we will be unable to resist when we are newly defeated, so let’s teach them an unforgettable lesson on this unknown hillside..."
Seeing that a powerful enemy was about to pursue him, Kang Lin pressed his hand on the hilt of the knife at his waist, finally showing the qualities of a qualified commander. Under his order, Fan Jing led the main force of the army and began to move faster, while Yan Si, Dong Jimao, Wan Hong, Ma Guomao and others took the time to dig horse traps and lay ambush mines! In previous battles, Chiyang had proved with his blood the great role of these two weapons in fighting enemy cavalry. Therefore, before the Eight Banners pursuers arrived, the more than a hundred elite soldiers responsible for breaking off the rear put down their weapons, picked up shovels, and started working with pickaxes. They would dig a large number of horse traps and lay a large number of ambushes on the enemy's only path. Fire thunder to slow down the pursuit speed of the Eight Banners Cavalry!
"Brothers, hurry up and move these two powerful cannons over there. Yes, that's right there! And you guys?
Hey, let me push these Franchise machines behind the pile of rocks and build an anti-arrow shelter on top of them! You don’t know how powerful those Jurchen barbarians are. When their arrows fall on your heads, you will have to thank someone for saving your life..."
At the same time, the artillerymen under Yan Si were not idle either! Although the main force of the artillery team had retreated to the ship with Fan Jing and others, in order to cover the infantry brothers, Chiyang's senior management still left two Weiyuan cannons, four Folang machines, and six Tiger squat cannons behind! At this moment, a group of shirtless strong men were building a temporary artillery fort under the command of Yan Si! The place they chose was very good. The height of more than ten or twenty meters allowed the artillery to easily attack the enemies on the road, but the enemies on the road could not attack them because of the angle! Therefore, the only thing they need to do now is to build fortifications with stones and install large and small artillery. After all, the opponent is a Jurchen barbarian who fights fiercely, so necessary fortifications are still needed. Otherwise, it would be bad if we waited until these crazy men who drank blood could free their hands and fire arrows at close range! .
"Array, form, the Jurchens' elite cavalry is coming soon. Everyone, hurry up and put on your armor and form an array. Hurry, hurry, hurry!"
Not to mention the busy men up and down the mountain, Kang Lin and several other staff officers were observing the enemy's situation with monocular binoculars! They looked very carefully, not even missing any corner. After all, this was about their own wealth and life, so they couldn't help but be careless! Fortunately, the Jurchens under Gurma Hui did not keep them waiting long! As a small staff officer exclaimed, a group of Eight Banners white-armored soldiers riding white helmets and white armor suddenly appeared in everyone's sight! Next came four cavalry, five cavalry, ten cavalry and twenty cavalry. More and more Eight Banners cavalry waved their weapons, turned around the foot of the mountain, and came towards their own position like waves!
"Old Ma, take your men to the front and form an array; Old Dong, take the guards and raise your guns to prepare for three-stage shooting; Old Wan, take your people as the general reserve. Without my order, none of you can You are not allowed to come up. As for the artillery, it will be under your command, Han Sheng! Remember, everyone, we must face the battle calmly and kill the enemy bravely. Any cowardice or escape will lead to the collapse of the entire team. Once that happens, we will only die faster. ..."
Looking at the Eight Banners Elite Cavalry getting closer and closer, Kang Lin arranged all the defense work in just a few seconds! Next, Ma Guomao quickly led dozens of his men to the front of the queue, preparing to form an array to meet the enemy. These elite warriors who were skilled in combat and well-trained generally wore one to two layers of armor, and wore Ming military customs on their heads. Some flying saucer helmets, under the shouts of their respective sentry commanders and armor commanders, straightened the spears in their hands and began to wait for the Jurchen barbarians to hit the spear formation; and behind them, there were neatly four The platoon of fully armed elite soldiers is Kang Lin's leading guard. These majestic sergeants are all wearing iron-inlaid cotton armor, with infantry-style flying saucer helmets on their heads, and the weapons in their hands are also high-quality wild geese issued by the system. Feather sword, leather iron shield, and flintlock gun, at first glance, they are the elite among the elite, the tiger among the tigers, and their commander, Dong Jimao, a former regiment coach, is holding his short flower gun and looking at it with a murderous look on his face. Watching the Manchu and Qing cavalry approaching gradually!
He is a shaved-headed Han who has committed original sin. Therefore, in Chiyang, where the Ming Dynasty has an absolute advantage, he is a character that his uncle does not care about and his grandma does not love him. Only Tang Bo, Ma Jiu and others are friendly to him and can become a commander. The deputy sentry commander, and even the personal guard sentry officer, had to thank him for presenting his family heirloom sword to his leader. Although Kang Lin later returned the sword to him, his reputation as a superior officer was gone. Word spread. Therefore, in order to wash away the stigma on himself, Dong Jimao always rushed to the front. He wanted the blood and heads of his enemies to prove that his rise to power was based on strength, not flattery!
And what happened next also showed that he was really capable, because not only was he highly skilled in martial arts and killed countless enemies, but he also managed his armor in an orderly manner. Therefore, Kang Lin and Chiyang's senior officials favored him and handed him the crucial post of deputy commander of the leader's guard. And he himself did not disappoint the trust placed in him by the superior officers. In addition to continuing his efforts and killing with all his strength, he The enemy also managed the leader's guard post into the strongest post in Chiyang. With his ability, even some veteran Chiyang team and sentry officers couldn't help but look askance at him, which clearly shows this man's ability. And today, facing the world-famous Jurchen cavalry, he wanted to use the short flower spear in his hand to wash away the humiliation on his body. He wanted to be an upright Han man.
, instead of a shaved Han Chinese with original sin!
Let’s talk about artillery and the Iron Man Army! There is nothing to say about the former. Since Yan Si is in charge personally, the key is the Iron Man Army. As Chiyang's current military force, although the Iron Man Army under Wan Hong is brave, good at fighting and extremely strong, the number is too small after all. There are originally fifty Individuals, but after successive battles, only forty people were left. However, even so, they still stood around Kang Lin in high spirits with bows in their left hands and swords in their right hands. This group of people is very high-spirited and will never allow others to surpass them. The guy surnamed Dong is quickly coming to the fore, but don't let someone climb on your head accidentally, as that will embarrass you greatly!
"Attention all distant soldiers, listen to the order, raise your weapons and prepare to fire!"
