Chapter 359 Ambush
These soldiers of the White Tiger Army have trained in Jiaozhou Military Port for more than a year and have been able to withstand the shaking of ships in the sea without seasickness. When the ship approached the Lushun coast, it was already dark.
Lushun is a natural ice-free port, which is one of the best military ports in China. However, in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, which had not yet developed the navy, good military ports did not mean much to those rulers.
When the ship landed, the ship had already cheered up, and the soldiers of the White Tiger Corps, who were full of fighting, rushed to the shore. At present, most of the places above Lushun are still in the primitive state. Small hills rise and fall one after another, and they are covered with lush trees.
At night, the waves beat against the coast, dotted with stars. It looks very beautiful. But at this moment, none of the tens of thousands of soldiers were in the mood to enjoy the scenery. They had to get off the ship as soon as possible, and the scouts began to explore everywhere to see if there was any trace of the enemy. No one else can post too much noise. For safety, all the lights on the ship are now out.
Under the dim moonlight, a team of soldiers began to act according to the previous acting route. First of all, they need to take down everything they eat and drink and build a defensive position in Lushun. The best thing about Lushun is that it is far from the land, which is not easy to attract the attention of the people. Moreover, Lushun is also a natural military port, which is also relatively close to Jiaozhou from here. Replenishment can be shipped quickly.
The commander of the White Tiger Corps is Zhang Yuan. The White Tiger Corps has two brigades and one guard under the jurisdiction of the Tyrann Bear Brigade, the Dragon Guard and the Tiger Brigade, with 21,000 people. Zhang Yuan decided to send three battalions of soldiers and horses to guard Lushun, led by the deputy commander of Long Yuanwei. The three battalions will begin to build the Lushun Military Port. At the same time, the water army of Yu Mingjun will bring a large number of equipment and craftsmen from Shandong to support them.
As for the 3,000 people other than Longhuawei, the commander of Longhuawei will lead the development of the Liaodong Peninsula. Once they are found, they will be killed directly. If you don't resist, pull over to work as a labor.
As for the Hu Ben Brigade and the Riot Bear Brigade, these 16,000 people will start to attack Shenyang under the leadership of Zhang Yuan. According to the intelligence of the Dragon Group, Shenyang does not have many troops, and the whole Liaodong does not have many troops. Now Dorman is making his last try.
"Try to the general that the little ones searched around and didn't find the enemy." This generation is not empty, but there are relatively few people, and most of them are fishermen. It's dark now, and they are all asleep at home. It's not easy to find.
Zhang Yuan did not dare to be careless and sent some scouts to explore the terrain on horseback. Lushun is still a strange place for them. Now you must be familiar with it first.
"If you want to go to Shenyang, you must go north from Lushun and pass through Jinzhouwei. Jinzhouwei is now holding 500 brave and good-handed taritans. If we want to march into Shenyang unconsciously, we must catch all the 500 tarros and not let them escape. It seems that we have to plan.
Zhang Yuan took out a map drawn during the Ming Dynasty. During the Ming Dynasty, this was the territory of the Ming Dynasty. Naturally, there was a map. Although the drawing was not detailed, it was still useful.
When the White Tiger Legion of the Pingbei Army landed in Lushun, the second regiment of the Wolf Roar Brigade of the Southern Kui Wolf Legion had successfully landed on the south bank of the Yangtze River under the cover of [Jianwu].
This place is close to Wu Sangui's governing place, Wuchang Mansion is full of Wu Sangui's soldiers and horses, so they must carefully find Wu Sangui's navy and then destroy it. It's not so easy for Wu Sangui to stop the Kuilang Legion without the navy. The long distance of the Yangtze River, without the protection of the water army, may be where Ma Peng landed. Once the Kuilang Legion enters the south bank of the Yangtze River, even if it is not a disaster, it will bring great trouble to Wu Sangui.
Under the cover of the night, more than 2,000 soldiers held new muskets and moved slowly. Their military uniforms were black and it was difficult to be found in the night.
However, when they entered the south bank for 1,000 meters, suddenly there was a sound in the air. Before they could react, they suddenly wailed everywhere. Many soldiers around them fell to the ground tragically.
"What's going on! What's going on!"
"The regimental commander is not good. We have been ambushed! Go back now!"
"Ah! Don't leave me, save me~~"
"Wo-Wo-Wo~"
"Don't run! Don't run! Don't mess up, don't mess up, pick up the gun, shoot!"
The night was dark, and it was impossible to see who was who. The soldiers were panicked by the sudden sharp arrows, and few people listened to him. Even if a few people fired a fire gun, but who was shot, they don't know.
"Don't mess up! If anyone dares to escape, he will be shot on the spot!"
Bang bang bang!
The regimental commander and several guards around him shot at the sky. Suddenly, the deafening sound of gunfire silenced the scene. But the enemy's bows and arrows did not stop, and the soldiers were constantly shot dead by bows and arrows.
"Light the torch! Light the torch. I'd like to see which bastard ambushed me!"
"You two go and inform the sailors on the shore and get them ready!"
The commander's face showed anxiety. Now it's really a critical moment. Once the command is wrong, the whole army may be destroyed.
Soon the torches were lit one by one, and the regimental commander also saw the scene clearly. Hundreds of meters away, more than 3,000 Chu archers and shields stood neatly and fired arrows at them. The ground was full of soldiers of the Pingbei Army, and the blood had already stained the earth.
"Look, leader! Look!" A personal guard pulled the head of the regiment and pointed to the surface of the river.
Looking along, I saw that the river was brightly lit. From a distance, I could guess that it must have been the enemy's navy and began to attack the two warships and other ships parked on the shore. Then the gunfire sounded everywhere.
"It's over, it's all over - it's all over!"
The regimental commander's face showed unwillingness, but he had no ability.
"No, you can't sit and wait for death like this. Even if you die in battle, you can't wait for these dogs like a lamb. The mother-in-law killed us. Resistance must be resisted! Kill it!"
"Don't mess up! We are the heroic Pingbei Army. The elite of the Kui wolf army like a hungry wolf! Only the wolf who died in the battle, and no wolf who surrendered. Brothers! Do you remember [War Soul Mausoleum]? The brothers will be buried there soon! That's our honor! The supreme honor! Brothers, pick up the weapons in your hands and kill!"
The regimental commander personally took the lead in rushing to kill. The firearm in his hand fired a shot at the enemy opposite, and shot down a Chu soldier opposite him. When the other soldiers saw that their regimental commander was so brave, they also rushed up. With the flying of the enemy's bows and arrows, these soldiers who rushed up kept dying. Although it is only a hundred meters away, it is like Huangquan Road, and it will never come to an end.
The regimental commander had three sharp arrows inserted into his body, one of which hit his knee. It was a little difficult for him to run, but he still kept rushing forward. Many soldiers around him crossed his body and looked at him, and his eyes suddenly flashed with perseverance. Rush forward at an accelerated pace.
2,500 soldiers are less than 1,500 at this moment. They were covered with blood all over their bodies, and many soldiers were hit by several arrows, but they still did not escape with bayonets.
"Kill! Never step back! We are the heroic Pingbei Army, and we are the most loyal guardians of the prince. We must not stop! Kill it! Cut off the enemy's hands and feet and pierce the enemy's heart. Our family is raised by the prince, and our descendants will be more brave! Kill!!!"
The disabled old regimental commander took a heavy step and moved forward slowly with a command knife. He did not take a step or step. He suffered from the pain that ordinary people could not understand. It was heartbreaking, but he didn't care at all. Even if you die, you will die gloriously, and you must not survive.
After killing more than 500 people, the more than 1,500 soldiers successfully rushed into the enemy and fought with each other in an instant.
