With the roar of guns and artillery, the Ming and Qing allied forces fired the first shot of the Battle of Yanmen using the firearms troops that had been deployed at strategic strongholds in Taihe Ridge.
The army of more than 30,000 intruders was now blocked in the narrow alley. Not only was it a dilemma, but even normal troop dispatch was extremely difficult. Both Tian Hu and Ren Jirong immediately realized that the situation was not good, and Tian
Before Hu surrendered to the Chuang Army after the war in Luoyang, he was the officer in charge of commanding the firearms unit in the official army. He had a deep understanding of the Ming Army's firearms tactics. Hearing the sound and seeing the layout, he already understood that the enemy's strength was probably much higher.
Far more than the more than 30,000 elite soldiers of the Chuang Army.
The allied forces of the Ming and Qing Dynasties fired guns and artillery, and the valley was shaken. Ren Jirong hurriedly led his soldiers to protect Tian Jianxiu's Chinese army. It was obvious that the enemy had premeditated it, and the invading army was running into the ambush circle arranged by Sun Chuanting. The situation was already very passive.
If Tian Jianxiu is killed by a sniper again, then the army will probably collapse immediately.
"In the Second Mansion, the officers and soldiers attacked from the front and back, and occupied a large number of favorable positions in the valley. It was obviously premeditated... Our hope is not great!"
After the roar of cannons, rocks fell one after another, and the soldiers and horses of the intruder army immediately fell into greater chaos. Tian Jianxiu knew what Ren Jirong meant by these words. It must be that the insurgent army was so passive, and the officers and soldiers were able to seize the opportunity in this way.
The military information had been leaked a long time ago.
He immediately looked at Jiang, but the way Jiang looked like he was ready to fight to the death for the intruders didn't seem like he was faking it.
Jiang Jiantian felt uneasy when he saw Xiu's doubts about him. After the Ming and Qing coalition offensive was launched, with Jiang's personality and intelligence, he used himself to save others and immediately understood the purpose of Liu Qian's advance action.
From the current situation, it is obvious that Liu Qian has planned to take away the position of Datong General Soldier. The Ming and Qing Allied Forces... have no position of their own!
He clenched his sword and immediately urged his old troops to disperse to fight, and assured Tian Jianxiu: "Second Mansion, most of my old troops are veterans of the border army, and their combat strength is no less than that of the old soldiers of the Chuang Army. Now the war is fierce and dangerous. These
I think all the troops and horses will be handed over to the command of General Ren and General Tian. I am very familiar with the terrain near Taihe Ridge. Although the officers and soldiers have an advantage in encircling and intercepting, we are not without our own efforts."
Jiang's action of handing over all his old soldiers and horses made Tian Jianxiu put his doubts back into his stomach. However, under Ren Jirong's gaze and reminder, Tian Jianxiu still arranged: "Okay... Jin
The soldiers are all veterans who are familiar with the local terrain. Now disperse Tian Hu and let Ren Jirong be used by your various troops. Each team is equipped with several veterans of the Jin army, and they will explain the terrain near Taihe Ridge to the soldiers of the invasion army."
Tian Jianxiu dispersed Jiang and other old soldiers and used them to avoid the possibility of Jin soldiers suddenly rebelling during the battle between the two armies. Jiang understood his intentions, but he also understood Liu Qian's calculations. There was only one position for the general soldiers of Datong.
The Datong General Soldier of the Ming and Qing Allied Forces has been promised to Liu Qian, so there is no place for him to stay.
Jiang took a deep breath. Although he was dissatisfied with Chuang Jun, as long as he still wanted fame and fortune, after Liu Qian took the lead, he had only one choice:
I will be the Datong general who will break through the army! After I capture and kill Liu Qian, I will be granted the title of marquis or uncle, and I will still have the wealth and wealth that the founding fathers of all generations can enjoy!
The scale of the battle ahead is getting bigger and bigger. The enemy has occupied all the favorable fighting positions on the terrain, firing guns and arrows from a high position. The invading army ranks are being beaten into a mess, and countless flags are falling down one after another. Jiang
I was angry and regretful that I was being played with by Liu Qian, a villain...
"The arrangements made by the Lords of the Second Mansion are excellent. Since the last general has surrendered to the Chuang Army, he will naturally die for King Chuang. King Chuang raised benevolent and righteous troops in Zhongzhou, suppressed the troops and pacified the people, equalized the land and exempted taxes. All measures showed the king's appearance.
The last general believes that this battle is just a battle between trapped beasts in the Ming Dynasty. Although Xu Da was defeated in Shanxi, Wang Baobao could not use his mantis arms to block the general trend of domestic unification...The last general is willing to be the vanguard."
Jiang's words made Ren Jirong, who was standing by, look at him with admiration. Ren Jirong originally had a strong sense of distrust towards Jiang because the intruders were suddenly ambushed. But now he saw that Jiang took the initiative to hand over all his old troops and actively asked for a fight.
In this way, I feel that I am judging a gentleman with a villain's heart.
Tian Jianxiu laughed loudly and said: "General Jiang, do you know? Li Buzhi's adopted son, Li Laiheng, the young tiger commander of the former camp, wrote to me many times, saying that General, you are capricious.
, a villain who cannot be trusted. But today’s facts, I think, are enough to prove that the young tiger commander is young after all, and his vision is not as good as mine. In my eyes... you are Fu Youde who broke into the army!"
The four words "capricious" made Jiang couldn't help but tremble twice in his heart. He looked up to the sky and sighed, and his whole body was filled with a sense of sadness and anger at being played by fate.
However, in Tian Jianxiu's eyes, Jiang's sighing up to the sky was more like the roar of a warrior who was preparing to die for his lord in a desperate situation.
After several booms, the heavy red artillery of the Ming and Qing coalition forces was already in place. Among them, the power of the Qing army's artillery was even more powerful than that of Sun Chuanting's train camp. The burst of powerful artillery fire immediately made Tian Jianxiu open his eyes.
As far as the eye can see, under the Taihe Ridge where the frost and snow have not yet melted, artillery fire was raging, the earth was shaking, and the snow was falling. The soldiers of the invading army lacked obstacle protection, and countless casualties were immediately caused.
Through the smoke that filled the air everywhere, Jiang saw that at least a thousand people in the leading group of the intruders had been killed by the powerful firepower of the coalition forces. Many of the old and capable soldiers were torn into pieces by solid bullets and missing limbs before they had a hand-to-hand encounter with the enemy.
He fell into a pool of blood with his legs broken.
"Too passive... Lord of the Second Prefecture, give the order quickly! The enemy has already planned it, and they cannot retreat if they retreat. Sir, the only way to survive is to rush forward and completely break through Sun Chuanting's pocket!"
Tian Jianxiu nodded and immediately shouted to Ren Jirong: "Jiang is right! He is a veteran of the Jin army, experienced and most familiar with this terrain. We heard him right... Bring Tian Hu back.
Order all armies not to retreat even one step, we must break through from the front."
"No... this is not enough. In the second government, each army is not allowed to retreat even one step. All the troops in the rear group will use the Chinese army's banner as a mark and move closer to the Chinese army. We must first stabilize our position before we can seek to break out from the front."
Although Tian Jianxiu was the number one commander in the army after Li Zicheng, his command ability on the battlefield was really problematic, which gave Jiang Du a headache.
Jiang quickly corrected him and said: "Now change the direction immediately and attack the front. Once you are frustrated and attacked by enemy soldiers from all sides, your morale will definitely fall to the bottom. Once Sun Chuanting launches a general attack, we will be too tense in one breath. It is really
There is a possibility that the entire army will be wiped out by fleeing south."
Ren Jirong also quickly advised: "Second House, this proposal is reasonable and should be more cautious. This should be the case!"
"Okay..." In the cold weather, Tian Jianxiu couldn't help wiping his sweat, "I just hope God will bless the army..."
Jiang raised his saber high and shouted: "The fate of the Chuang army lies with the Chuang army. I, Jiang, am willing to die for the sake of King Li Chuang... The Chuang army will be victorious!"
