Chapter 30 Digging the Pit

After Yue Tuo and Hauge arrived at the Xiaozhang River, they glanced at the situation on the other side of the Xiaozhang River and were immediately shocked. They saw from afar that there was a car camp floating the flag of the Xingtian Army on the west bank of the Xiaozhang River. There seemed to be a faint cannon on the high ground next to it. The number could not be seen, but it was estimated that the number was quite large.

And there are hundreds of soldiers of the Xingtian Army on the west side of the bridge of the Xiaozhang River, which seem to be faintly full of firemen, and the ice on the river at both ends of the stone bridge of the Xiaozhang River has been chiseled by the people of the Xingtian Army. Obviously, it is impossible to cross the river. They can only quickly cross the river through the stone bridge, but walk On the river, not many people can pass at one time, and this thing seems to be a little troublesome.

Things seem to be a little different from what they think. The auxiliary soldiers of Xing Tianjun are indeed here, and it seems that they carry a lot of food and ammunition with the army. At the same time, there are also a lot of mules and horses and soldiers' accounts. This is a greedy thing, but the problem is that the auxiliary soldiers left here seem to be difficult to deal with, and hundreds of firemen still There are a lot of cannons. If you want to eat them, I guess you won't pay a price.

And now the war is tense, and a large number of soldiers and horses of the Xingtian Army are driving this way. Today, they have seen the terrible combat effectiveness of this group of Xingtian Army. No one knows how long Dorkon can hold them down. Anyway, they didn't think that Dorson could destroy this group of soldiers and horses of the Xingtian Army. Without exception, they think this Sooner or later, Xing Tianjun will break through Dorgo's siege and kill here.

So the time left for them will not be too long. If they want to eat the auxiliary soldiers left by the Xing Tianjun on the west bank of the Xiaozhang River before dark, they must take a risk. They can only make up their minds immediately.

Yue Tuo and Hauge looked at each other, and Hauge immediately said, "Since you are the general on the left, just make up your mind!" In my opinion, it's impossible not to fight. After all, as long as you take down the car camp of this group of thieves, then this thieves will naturally not be able to persist here. Otherwise, it will be really difficult to fight in the future! Otherwise, where is our Daqing's face? There was a sense of arrogance on Hog's face when he spoke.

After listening to Hauge's opinion, Yue Tuo immediately made up his mind, because Hauge is the eldest son of Emperor Taiji of the Qing Dynasty. This time, he also went on an expedition with the army. Nominally, he and Dornon are the commander-in-chief, but Hauge can be said to be the supervisor of the army, and is also responsible for monitoring the two of them. If this battle is not fought. If he goes back, Yue Tuo will be charged with fearing the enemy and avoiding war, and Yue Tuo is the son of kindness, so he has to be careful.

So even if Yue Tuodang ordered, he sent a Jiala Zhangjing to lead a thousand armored soldiers, prepare for the stone bridge and occupy the west side of the stone bridge, so that the army could cross the river. At the same time, he also sent two cavalry to move up and down the stone bridge of the Xiaozhang River, move on both sides, find the section with ice, and forcibly cross the river. , envelop the Xing Tianjun on the other side.

So a large number of Tatar soldiers immediately began to prepare. After the two cavalry got the order, they immediately took action and ran up and down the Xiaozhang River. A team of armored soldiers collected big shields as much as possible. With these shields as a cover, they rushed towards the bridge.

Li Fusheng stared at the other side of the stone bridge with his eyes, watched the tari soldiers approaching the stone bridge step by step, silently calculated the distance in his heart, and roared to keep the soldiers under his command calm and not fire without authorization.

After all, these soldiers fought as much as those soldiers, and this time they are facing the fierce Tarror soldiers. If they are not nervous, it is farting. Even in such weather, many people are slightly sweaty on their foreheads, or their bodies are a little stiff, and even some people have a little stiff legs and stomachs. There are many people who tremble. If it hadn't been for Li Fusheng's repeated roar to make them steady, it would have been that some people would have been angry when the number of people were less than a hundred steps away.

One by one, the soldiers nervously blew the fire rope on the bird's gun. They were afraid that the fire rope would be blown out by the wind. They carefully kept the fire rope burning. At the same time, they kept warning themselves that they should not be scared to pull down the fire rope. They opened fire before the order. In Xing Tianjun, it was a felony. Maybe they would lose their heads. They didn't want to kill the barracks. On the contrary, he was chopped by his own officer first, so they all carefully held the bird and dared not fire.

The artillerymen in the artillery array behind them jumped up and down in a hurry, but they couldn't wait for Huang Shengqiang to order fire. For the six-pound cannon, the tartar soldiers had already entered the range, and the three-pound cannon was basically enough for the tartar soldiers, but Huang Shengqiang twisted a pinch of mouse beard on his jaw so that he could look towards the other side in a leisurely manner. Looking at it, he refused to order the artillery to fire.

Yue Tuo on the other side was also full of nervousness. What he was most worried about was the cannons of the Xingtian Army on the other side. He was afraid that these cannons would kill and injure a large number of Jianzhou soldiers under his command. However, seeing that the team of Bujia was very close to the stone bridge, the Xing Tianjun on the other side had not fired yet fired, which more or less reassured him, as long as he was right. If the shore does not fire, the armored soldiers under him will have the opportunity to rush to the stone bridge. Those soldiers of the Xingtian Army on the other side are obviously some auxiliary soldiers without armor. Although they have bird guns, they can't withstand the attack of the armored soldiers, and they will soon be defeated. Sometimes it is impossible to fight without taking risks. At the beginning, they Grandpa's wild boar skin (Nurhachi) If he doesn't dare to take risks, how can he take his children and grandchildren to take this field? Therefore, famous generals sometimes gain achievements by taking risks. Yue Tuo knows this very well.

"Li Ying General, the tari has reached seventy steps! You can fight!" A subordinate of Li Fusheng whispered to Li Fusheng.

Li Fusheng shook his head and said, "Don't worry, wait!"

All the soldiers with gunmen began to sweat nervously. No matter how close their hearts were, the arrows of the Tatarmen would be shot over. Why didn't they open fire?

Li Fusheng was also a little nervous. He pressed his right hand on the handle of the waist knife and tightly grasped the handle of the waist knife. It's not that he didn't want to fight, but that this group of tatars were too cunning. It must have just seen the strength of the firearmed hand of their marshal. They all hid behind the shield and refused to show up, and he Seeing that the shield of the Tatar soldiers is very strong, he is afraid that he can't break these big shields beyond 70 steps. On the contrary, he wastes ammunition and misses the fighter plane, so he decided to take a risk. It's not too late to fire when the Tatron reaches the distance of fifty steps. Although fifty steps are the distance that the strong bow can reach, after all, it is also the end of the strong crossbow. The soldiers on their side will not kill too much, but fifty steps can be said to be the place of death for their fire. As long as they get up, they will be disabled if they don't die. In this season, they will be injured. Basically, they will die more and live less. The price for the Tats must be far more than his side. This kind of adventure is still worth it, so he also It was to grit your teeth and order not to fire.

The Tarot soldiers were also nervous to death. They were carefully pushed forward one by one by the big shield, but they had not heard the release of the Xing Tianjun in seventy steps, so they became even more nervous. The Tatron soldiers had just experienced the fire of the Xing Tianjun, and now everyone knows it. The fire of Xing Tianjun is very powerful, and the closer it is, the easier it is to be killed by others. However, for Jia La Zhangjing, who leads the team, he is more or less happy to worry, because closer, his archers can fire bows and arrows to shoot their opponents. Although the casualties on his side may be greater, At least it's better than lying down and being beaten!

At this time, Huang Shengqiang whispered to the messengers around him, "I said, how about these people today?" Go and tell the brothers behind you. When I order, try to hit the shells as close as possible. Don't hit them too accurately. It doesn't matter how many shots are fired into the river! But remember to me that no one is allowed to let go and fight against me in the distance. Let the Tartar soldiers think that our cannons can only fight so far away, tease them to gather here, and then give them a cruel one. I guess this can kill a lot of Tartar soldiers!"

The messenger was also a smart man. He immediately understood what Huang Shengqiang's little abacus was thinking, so he smiled and said, "General is awesome! Haha! The tari will be unlucky this time! I'm going to pass the order!" After saying that, the grinning thief smiled and ran towards the artillery.

After the officers in the gun array got the order, they also quickly understood Huang Shengqiang's plan, so they all smiled and conveyed Huang Shengqiang's order. The gun commanders immediately began to adjust the aiming point, and a big pit was dug down for Yue Tuo and other Tatar soldiers.

When the hand archer jumped out and fired the arrow, Li Fusheng roared: "Kill the slave..."

The sweating soldiers in the first row of the long-waiting palms quickly pulled down the dragon head stuck in the fire rope. In a moment, the originally quiet environment around the Xiaozhang River was completely broken by a series of fire. A row of nearly a hundred bullets roared out in the pipe, and the rainstorm-like splashed and rushed to In the shield array of the Taris not far from the bridge.

Just jumped out of the shield array and wanted to shoot arrows on the west of the bridge. Even if they were beaten upside down with blood, the bullet hit the big shield of the Tatar soldiers, almost all of them passed through the shield. The distance of fifty steps could not be stopped even by the big shield of the Tatars covered with cowhide, and immediately many of the Tatars with the shields were knocked overturned. On the ground, the team of the troops of the soldiers suddenly appeared in chaos.

The hand soldiers also roared loudly. They already knew that once the fire was fired, they would hardly stop. They must rush across the stone bridge as soon as possible and approach the firemen of the firemen of Xing Tianjun. Otherwise, they could only become the target of the other party's firemen. This is the end of this day. They Experience and lessons learned.

The discipline of the Tatsant army was strict, and the consequences of retreating without authorization to escape from the battlefield were very serious, so they had no choice but to rush forward desperately. It was just a row of birds shooting, which completely disrupted the formation of the group of Tatar soldiers.

A large number of tartar soldiers howled and rushed forward. Some people held bows and arrows, and some people waved waist knives or hand axes to try to rush to the stone bridge. However, at this time, the firearms in the west of the bridge did not stop. Five rows of soldiers began to come forward and fire fiercely against the stone bridge in turn. .

A group of tars rushed up and were quickly knocked to the ground. Then another batch of tarmen rushed up and were turned over by another round of bullets. The whole bridge was filled with white smoke, and the east of the bridge was splashed with blood.

More than 20 steps away from the head of the bridge in the east of the bridge, it seemed to have become a dead place. The bullets flew beside the Tarot soldiers and kept falling on the Tarot soldiers who kept rushing up, making the Tatari soldiers fall to the ground one by one. Even if they raised their shields to cover their bodies, they could not stop the blows of these bombs. The flying zigly penetrated the shield in their hands, and then hit them firmly, and then burst into blood flowers.
