In Wuning County, Ming army camp, Liu Yipeng put down his telescope and said to Deng Yao: "General Deng, there is a big battle, at least 50,000 Tatars have come."
Deng Yao laughed loudly, "General Liu, you have underestimated our line of defense. The scouts I sent to the other side carefully counted the stove pits and horse hoof prints left by the Tatars.
More than 100,000, half of whom are cavalry.
"Hey, dear, we're going to make big profits this time." Liu Yipeng shrank his neck, "The commander asked us to fight for a while and then retreat to Lishui. We have to run faster. It's not fun to get stuck."
"Look at your potential, you have finally come up with a big dish. Kill it first and then retreat. I have asked people to plant explosives all over the river beach, and also planted a lot of iron traps and traps. I will treat you well when the time comes.
These dog Tatars".
"Woo~woo~woo~"
The Qing army on the other side blew the desolate horn, and small boats began to cross the river one after another.
Ma Guozhu sincerely praised: "General Dingyuan really has a clever plan. Not only is it easy to cross here, look at the flags, but the other side has only ten thousand soldiers and horses, so it is easy to defeat."
Nikan said nothing, standing upright in the wind, with a fair face and deep eyes, like a statue.
Liu Liangzuo, the second-class elite Nihafan (Viscount), and Kang Shisheng, the commander, led thousands of small boats and bamboo rafts to the front. As a soldier of the green camp, sharing the worries of the master and taking the lead in danger is nothing short of glorious!
"Dong dong dong"!"
The Qing soldiers on the other side beat drums to cheer.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The Ming army's small artillery began to bombard.
"Sculpture" Nikan smiled. Listening to the sound of cannons, the Ming army did not have heavy artillery. It seems that the main force is indeed not here, and this river is easy to cross.
Just when I was thinking, "Wow!", a bamboo raft was hit by a cannon and fell apart, and a dozen Green Camp soldiers fell into the river and fed the fish. Small cannons are also cannons! They can still kill people!
Since the Ming army was ready to give up repairing the water, they naturally would not put heavy artillery that was difficult to carry by the river to give the Qing army an advantage.
Finally washed ashore.
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
The green battalion soldiers began to form formation, howling and rushing towards the Ming army's position on the beach.
Liu Liangzuo and Kang Shisheng drew their sabers and commanded from behind. As generals, they are responsible for commanding and should not stand too far forward.
"Ouch, my foot." A green soldier stepped on the iron caltrop. This thing has four protruding iron thorns, which are several inches long. It is buried in the sand and is difficult to find. As soon as he steps on it, there is a blood on the bottom of the foot.
The hole hurts.
The battle formation will not stop just because a few people step on the iron thorns, it will still keep moving forward.
"Boom! Boom! Boom", explosions came and went.
Liu Liangzuo asked: "What's going on?"
"Commander, the Ming army deployed a lot of bombs on the river beach, and many soldiers were injured."
"Place the formations sparsely and widen the distance between each formation", Liu Liangzuo issued the military order.
Liu Yipeng saw him and praised him: "This Tatar general has rich experience."
Deng Yao hummed: "Look at the flag, it's Hua Ma Liu. This traitor was greedy for life and afraid of death during the Ming Dynasty. After surrendering to the Qing Dynasty, he turned into a brave general. Tell the soldiers to evacuate behind the ditch quickly."
.
The Ming army dug seven trenches on the river beach, each one three feet apart.
"Archers prepare, shoot!"
"The gunslinger is ready, shoot!"
Arrows, bullets, and violent storms shot down the Qing army.
"Cum for me," Liu Liangzuo ordered reflexively.
The two sides fired at each other across the ditch, and the Qing army suffered a loss. Because the Qing army was charging, they could only use bows and arrows to cover it. While the Ming army shot from the back row, the front row could shoot directly, and the direct fire was more lethal. However, the Qing army had the numbers.
Advantage, as more and more archers landed, the Ming army's casualties began to increase.
Seeing that the Qing army had filled in the third trench, they moved towards the fourth trench.
Liu Yipeng said to Deng Yao: "Brother Deng, withdraw quickly. If you don't withdraw, it will be too late."
"Damn, I've made these Tatars so much easier," Deng Yao issued the military order itchingly, "Withdraw!"
Upon hearing the military order, the Ming army behind the seventh trench withdrew and ran.
The remaining four trenches slowed down the Qing army's pursuit. By the time they filled up the trenches, the Ming army had disappeared without a trace.
Liu Liangzuo's face turned purple with anger. Green Camp lost more than a thousand soldiers, but only found more than two hundred Ming army corpses.
Nikan was very happy. Only the Green Camp soldiers died, and not a single Eight Banners soldier died. In his opinion, there were zero casualties. The key was that they had overcome the natural dangers of Xiushui.
"The whole army goes east and crosses the Lianshui River," Prince Jingjin coldly issued the military order.
??
General Zhenshuo Li Mingzhong built copper walls and iron walls along the Lianshui River, dug ten trenches, and built hundreds of simple forts. Zhu Hengjia's military order was to defend Lianshui and Shuangxi without taking half a step back.
He originally had 40,000 troops, but after receiving reinforcements from Zhang Chengwu's 10,000 troops, his confidence greatly increased.
Nikan is also very confident that Lianshui is just a tributary of Xiushui. Xiushui has been crossed, so the small Lianshui is nothing.
"General Dingyuan and my men are all ready, please give the order!"
Beizi Zakana, the first-class Bocheng Ni Xiongjiu asked for battle.
Liu Liangzuo and Kang Shisheng crossed the Xiushui River easily. The Manchurian generals felt that the Ming army on the opposite side was soft persimmons and asked for a battle. Nikan was also unwilling to give all the credit to the Green Camp. In this case, wouldn't it be a shame for Manchuria?
Is there no light? So, I ordered Beizi Zakana and First Class Bochenni to lead 20,000 Manchu and Mongolian Eight Banners as the vanguard.
"Attack", Nikan issued the military order.
Thousands of small boats and bamboo rafts rowed to the other side.
Li Mingzhong ordered coldly: "Fire! Give me a hard blast!"
Two hundred heavy cannons and four hundred squatting tiger cannons began to roar.
"Soldiers, row hard! Our soldiers of the Eight Banners are not only invincible in land battles, but also dominate in water battles," Gya Lazhang Kyung Sunata shouted.
Inspired by him, the Eight Banners soldiers rowed hard and the boat sailed very fast.
"Boom", a cannonball passed over the head. Sunata was secretly rejoicing, "Boom", there was another loud roar, and half of his body flew up.
Niuluzhang Jing Temur's boat came ashore. "Temur" means "iron" in Mongolian. As a brave general of the Eight Banners of Mongolia, he is worthy of the name. He has a fierce style and is as strong as iron.
Temur gathered more than a hundred men and fought towards the beach. He faced a trench, and behind the trench were the Ming army's archers and gunmen.
Bullets were flying, and dozens of Temur's men fell.
Temur took off his ox-horn bow and "swish, swish, swish", the arrows were fired without missing a beat, and he shot down several Ming soldiers in a row.
"Huh?"
Ming general Li Shiyuan was furious and called in dozens of gunmen, "You guys will shoot those Tatars hard."
"Bang bang bang!"
After all, Temur and the Mongolian warriors around him were not made of steel and could not stop the bullets, so they fell in a pool of blood.
Seeing that the Manchu and Mongolian Eight Banners suffered heavy casualties, Nikan hurriedly ordered a retreat. When he retreated and took stock, he found that two thousand people had been lost in an hour, which made him extremely distressed.
He was unwilling to give in and wasted his money on Manchuria, so he changed the river bank and ordered Liu Liangzuo and Kang Shisheng to lead their troops across the river.
The second general did not dare to disobey, so he left with a gloomy look on his face, leaving behind nearly two thousand corpses.
"General, I have a plan to defeat the enemy." Ma Guozhu offered advice to Nikan.
"Oh, Ma Duxian, please speak quickly."
"Since we can't break through Lianshui from the front, why not go west, climb over Taoyuan Mountain and Maozhu Mountain, go around to the side of Lianshui and attack it from behind."
Nikan was overjoyed after seeing the army meeting map, "Ma Duxian's strategy is very good. Tomorrow, we will command the troops to gather together. Zakana will lead 40,000 troops to station here and pretend to cross the river to confuse the Ming army. I will lead 70,000 troops to cross Taoyuan Mountain."
,Mao Bamboo Mountain".
