Chapter 275 The Last Defense
Sha Yuliang asked people to take the old man down to settle down, while he himself summoned all the generals to hold a pre-war meeting.
Attending the meeting were Zhu Wei, who has been promoted to the fourth rank general, Yuan Mingxian, a fierce general who has been following the imperial army to suppress the rebellion, Sima Lieutenant General Sima Yi, the second generation of the army, Hu Daxi, deputy general of Cong Guanglei, the commander-in-chief of Bingzhou Sanguan, and former rebels. General Zhenghe and Yingweizhong.
"Currently, according to the old farmer, there are only about enemy troops stationed at Dongning Guard. It is unlikely that we will need tens of thousands of troops. In this way, I want to use Dongning Guard as a starting point and radiate to the surrounding areas."
As he spoke, Sha Yuliang walked to the map of Liaodong, clicked on Dongningwei and drew a circle around it.
"The enemy general led three thousand soldiers and horses to the Beidi Ulianghamu camp in the northwest. If they get the news and rush back, they need to take the road from Zhenxi Fort to Chaihe Fort."
"With Fu'an Fort as the center, Zhu Wei led soldiers and horses to attack Sancha'er Fort, Yuan Mingxian led soldiers and horses to take charge of Chaihe Fort, and Sima Yi led soldiers and horses to capture Fanhe City and the surrounding Song family. Bo Fort, and Hu Daxi will give you another soldiers and horses. Tieling City east of Fanhe City and the nearby Zengchi Fort, Zhenxi Fort and Xintian Fort will be handed over to you. Zhenghe will lead soldiers and horses to take charge of the border town. The Jurchen camp outside the border city is in Chaihe, and Ying Wei is in charge of the Shahe camp outside the border city. The remaining troops and horses will be led by me to attack the Jurchen camp outside the border city at night!"
After deploying his troops, Sha Yuliang looked at the generals and asked: "Hu Daxi among you has a slightly heavier task. If you have any difficulties, you can raise them now so that I can make adjustments. Do you have any difficulties?"
"No!" all the generals replied in unison.
Sha Yuliang looked at Hu Daxi.
Hu Daxi received his look and said loudly: "I have no difficulties!"
"Since there are no difficulties, let's go all out and go back to camp to order troops on the battlefield!" Sha Yuliang said simply and neatly, waving everyone back to prepare.
Once the troops were arranged in this way and dispersed, the marching speed increased significantly. Everyone brought enough dry food for a few days and raided the enemy forces they were responsible for with lightning speed.
No matter how strong the fortress is, it cannot withstand the surprise attack of Dayu's cavalry. It is either exploded with gunpowder or fired with muskets.
The various generals captured the enemy's forts and cities with little effort.
After sweeping through this route and capturing Dongningwei and the surrounding fortresses and cities, it can be said that Dayu's cavalry easily opened the door to the hinterland of Liaodong.
A defensive barrier was missing in the hinterland of Liaodong. When the news reached Zhonggu City, the Jurchen guard was furious and anxious, and immediately mobilized troops to strengthen the defense of Zhonggu City.
The Jurchens are brave and good at fighting, and are born heroes on horseback. However, their only shortcoming is that their population base is too small. Their tribes live too far north, and the cold weather makes it difficult for their tribesmen to reproduce.
And they are warlike by nature, which makes it more difficult for the tribe to reproduce and the population growth is slow. Sometimes wars will cause the population to show negative growth.
Every time Sha Yuliang captured a place, he recruited the local Dayu Han people to join the army and follow them to attack the Jurchens.
The Jurchens occupied this area from Dayu and treated the Han people of Dayu worse than animals. It can be said that the Han people of Dayu had a sworn hatred with the Jurchens.
Every Jurchen's hands are stained with the blood of the Han people of Dayu. How could they give up if the imperial soldiers gave them the opportunity to take revenge.
If they give up this opportunity for revenge, how will they have the face to see their dead relatives in the future?
Every time Dayu's cavalry captured a fortress or city, they first guarded the food and grass, and then recruited local Dayu Han people to join the team to ensure that no hungry soldiers were sent.
After the cavalry captured their respective targets, the seven groups of soldiers and horses gathered into three groups of troops and horses, marching together, supporting each other, and attacking the hinterland of Liaodong together.
Each group of soldiers and horses raised tens of thousands of troops and had enough to eat and drink.The west group is headed by Yuan Mingxian and is responsible for the bunkers along the Liaodong line near Beidi Wuliangha Mu Camp in the west.
The middle group was led by Sha Yuliang himself, responsible for Zhonggu City and Kaiyuan City in the hinterland, and finally reached Beiguan, the northernmost town.
The East Route Army was led by Hu Daxi and was responsible for the bunkers along the eastern border. The last three troops formed an encirclement and met at Zhenbeiguan in the north to complete the rendezvous!
The various forts built at the border can basically be reached by cavalry at any time, and the troops raised from all walks of life are like snowballs, getting bigger and bigger. This may be the so-called resistance wherever there is oppression.
The Jurchens never dreamed that they would bring disaster to themselves just by meddling in the war between Beidi and Dayu.
The Jurchen leader and his people were chased all the way without a chance to breathe, until they fled in embarrassment to Zhenbeiguan, an important town in the north.
"Mobilize all the troops, focus on defending Zhenbeiguan, and let all the old, young, women and children in the clan evacuate to the Namuchuan outside the border wall. This is our last defense barrier in Liaodong!" the Jurchen leader ordered.
The guard general at Zhenbeiguan was shocked when he heard what the leader said. Although he was guarding here and knew the news about the front line, the leader's ultimatum at this time made him lose even the last trace of luck.
"Chief, is Dayu's army really so powerful now? Their attack speed is too fast!"
The leader did not answer his question. The answer was obvious. The answer would be a waste of his words. Instead, he asked his staff: "When will Beidi's troops join us?"
The staff member wiped the sweat from his forehead and replied: "There has been no news from the soldiers and horses in the Wulianghamu camp."
After hearing this, the leader laughed angrily: "Haha, he thinks he can show off to me because he is still the Khan of Beidi? In the face of a powerful enemy, he still plays tricks on me. A barbarian is a barbarian, and he will never know The truth is that the lips are dead and the teeth are cold!"
They were forced into desperation by Dayu's soldiers and horses. At worst, they would still return to their tribe to live in the border town.
As for them in Beidi, they were afraid that Dayu's army would end the fighting on their side and then turn around and concentrate their forces to deal with the remaining troops in Beidi.
The staff member raised his sleeves, wiped his forehead again, glanced at the Jurchen general who was gritting his teeth, and asked: "Chief, if Beidi's soldiers and horses do not come to join us, how should we deal with the current situation?"
Dayu's army raided the Liaodong area, catching them off guard. In addition, Dayu had not invaded Liaodong for decades, and the defenses of various castles were lax. This raid left them completely unprepared, and the tribesmen suffered heavy casualties.
It can be said that more than half of the clan members suffered casualties this time, making it difficult for them to regain their strength in at least the past few decades.
Are you willing?
The Jurchen leaders are definitely not willing to give in, but now that the enemy is strong and we are weak, they cannot ignore the safety of their clansmen and confront Dayu's army head-on. The tactics of losing one thousand to the enemy and eight hundred to themselves are not suitable for the current situation.
Unable to withstand the enemy's offensive, they had no choice but to withdraw from Zhenbeiguan and retreat to the deep mountains and old forests outside the pass.
Dayu once said that if you keep the green hills, you won’t have to worry about running out of firewood!
They will come back one day to take revenge!
In the early morning of the next day, the sky just showed a trace of fish belly white. Standing on the tower of Zhenbeiguan, you can see black spots appearing on the horizon. Slowly, there are more and more black spots. As the sound of horse hooves comes, the Jurchens' The warrior knew that the moment of decisive battle was coming soon.
The flag fluttering in the wind has the word "sand" written on it!
The Jurchen leader stood on the city tower, looking at the arrogant 'sha' flag, "Is this the cavalry of Dayu?"
A cavalry that is not inferior to their cavalry?
Looking at the dark blue wave coming, oppression followed. The momentum of Dayu's cavalry did have the arrogance!
Behind the cavalry were the infantry recruited in Liaodong, that is, Dayu's slaves in Liaodong. They were all bloody men of Dayu who were rescued by Dayu's cavalry.
Regarding the slaves of Dayu, the Jurchens knew their fighting power very well. They were just cannon fodder on the battlefield and should not be feared.
The Jurchen leader frowned slightly. What gave him a headache was Dayu's cavalry rushing in front.
The staff looked at the scene in front of them, opened their mouths in surprise, and said in disbelief: "Dayu's cavalry is really weird. They don't put the cannon fodder in the front and charge into the battle, but let them follow behind to pick up the leaks. What's the truth? Is it true that in Dayu's case? In the eyes of the emperor, these horse soldiers are even more valuable than the cavalry?" Dayu's cavalry ran closer and closer. Just when the Jurchens thought that they would charge into the battle in the first round, Dayu's cavalry had already rushed to the border city wall not far away. Suddenly the horses stopped, and they all raised their flintlock guns.
Aim, shoot, all in one go!
Not even a single pause!
With the sound of gunfire, wailing sounds came from the city wall. Many of the Jurchen soldiers defending were shot, and others who were defenseless were so frightened that they squatted down.
The Jurchen leader squatted down under the protection of his personal guards. With the protection of the battlements, he shouted angrily: "Generals, listen to the order, the archers and trebuchets are in position, ready to shoot at any time! There are also Hongyi cannons for me to blast first." Two rounds!”
As he finished speaking, the Hongyi cannon on the city wall was ignited. Just waiting for his cannonball to be fired, the cavalry who had just fired had already retreated to a safe distance!
When the Jurchen generals saw this scene, they were so angry that they beat the city wall!
"These people of Dayu are so shameless. Don't they believe in never retreating or surrendering to the death? Why are they only allowed to shoot, but they retreat in fear before we can even fight back?"
"They have so much courage, how dare they come to the hinterland of Liaodong to tease us? If we don't show you any strength, you really think we are easy to bully!"
"Artillery, archers, and slingers are all prepared for me. As long as they dare to cross the line, you will give me random shots!"
The Jurchen leader heard the general's order and knew that they had only temporarily stopped the progress of Dayu's cavalry at most.If they want to repel the enemy, it is not something they can do with their small force.
Unless those Dayu cavalry outside the city were still the same vulnerable cavalry before, they would have a chance of winning.
However, knowing that they could not win was not a reason for them to retreat immediately. They had to try their best to consume Dayu's troops at this last pass.Even if they are defeated, Dayu's soldiers and horses must be afraid of them. In the next time, even if they retreat, they will not dare to pursue them easily.
The Jurchen leader thought a lot. If it were a few years ago, he would never have considered so much. Seeing that Dayu's troops were unhappy, he dared to directly open the city and send his troops out to fight them.
But in recent years, the prestige of Dayu's soldiers and horses has become more and more important. Although they are in a corner, they have been waiting and watching the situation in the Central Plains.
The Jurchen leader may not have even noticed it himself. Now he is subconsciously afraid of Dayu's soldiers and horses.
Sha Yuliang stood in the center of the cavalry, looking at the last pass tower, pursed his lips and remained silent.
Hu Daxi, standing next to him, recommended himself: "General, they underestimated our Dayu cavalry and underestimated our Dayu's hot weapons. In the future, we will be warriors who will open up and expand territory for Dayu. How can we?" I'm afraid of these rounds of cannons!
General, let me lead the troops to meet them! "
Sha Yuliang withdrew his gaze and warned: "Remember, don't rush into their shooting range. The final victory is coming soon. I don't want to see the blood of my Dayu soldiers spilled on this territory!"
"Okay! General, take a look!" Hu Daxi excitedly waved his whip to count the soldiers and follow him to attack the city.
Several other generals saw Hu Daxi riding away excitedly, and they were all annoyed that they had not gone out ahead of him.
The God-given opportunity was snatched away by Hu Daxi.
Hu Daxi could guess the expressions of several other generals without looking.
"Haha. The opportunity to make a meritorious deed has come!"
"Soldiers, the opportunity to perform meritorious deeds has come. Who wants to join me in charging into battle?"
After giving the order, none of the soldiers under his command flinched. They all lined up and prepared to attack the city with him.
"Load the bullets!"
With the clicking sound of metal colliding, the movements are uniform and very rhythmic, and the bullets are loaded.
Hu Daxi checked it again and confirmed that it was correct. The charge horn sounded, and all the horses in line rushed out like an arrow from the string.
When the Jurchen general on the city tower heard the sound of the charging horn, the corner of his mouth couldn't help but twitch.
In the past, whether it was Dayu or Beidi, attacking was undoubtedly beating drums, and retreating was using gold. But what happened to Dayu now? He actually made a sharp trumpet sound when charging.
As the cavalry got closer and closer, the Jurchens on the city wall paid more attention. As soon as Dayu's cavalry arrived within the shooting range, they threw rocks, arrows and fired cannons.
How could Hu Daxi not know the enemy's plan? They stopped outside the shooting range and aimed and shot again. This time, another group of Jurchens on the city wall were hit.
"Ah!"
"I'm injured!"
"What's going on? Why did they shoot first before they were within range?"
And being able to hit the target is the key.
At this time, the Jurchens finally realized that Dayu's musket seemed to have a different range than theirs.
"How to fight this battle?"
The Jurchen general wanted to cry but had no tears!
The long range is the advantage of Dayu's musket. It is precisely because Hu Daxi knows this that he dares to say that he is asking them to perform meritorious service, which is tantamount to taking credit.
While sweeping all the way, the Jurchens had not paid attention to the range of their muskets, and this time they stole the show again.
It feels so good to torture your enemy thousands of times!
After charging like this for two or three times, the Jurchen soldiers on the city wall were so frightened that they shot under the battlements and did not dare to show their heads.
They were afraid that if they showed up, they would be shot in the head by Dayu's cavalry.
"Chief, what should we do next? The enemy's muskets are too powerful, and we can't reach them!"
"Hold on, I don't believe they really dare to cross that line. If our people don't take the lead, I'll see how they shoot without a target!"
under the city walls.
Hu Daxi ran in front of Sha Yuliang and applied to him: "General, the enemy does not dare to show up, I apply to throw them and escape quickly!"
The so-called escaping quickly refers to the earth-style grenade developed by the Bingzhan Bureau with Xia Jing's ideas.
However, Dayu's soldiers felt that no matter how fast his enemies fled, they could not throw them as far as they could. No matter how fast they fled, it was useless.Later, they gradually liked to call this kind of grenade to escape quickly. (End of chapter)
