Chapter 201 Nine to Ten Chain

On the artillery position west of Furdan City, after three D30-122 howitzers fired quickly, they extended their backwards according to Zhao Xin's requirements. This time the range was increased by 200 meters and eight bursts!

In the mountains and forests 1,500 meters away, when the Qing army led by Ushhada was bombarded four times, the vanguard battalion and the central army immediately exploded! Thousands of war horses collided and trampled on each other because they were frightened and lost control, making waves of neighing.

While appeaseing his subordinates, the generals such as Ushhada ordered: "The entire army stopped! This is the enemy of ten thousand people buried by the thieves!"

(According to the Ming Dynasty's "Chuhaitu Edition", "Strange Collection of Military Training" and "Wu Beizhi" and other books, as of the middle and late Ming Dynasty, there were more than ten landmines used by the Ming army. According to the detonation method, there were burning, hair extension, tripping, machine extension, etc. In addition to single lightning, the layout method also used fuses to control the mass lightning of explosions; the "child and mother thunder" of several child lightnings were detonated through the mother lightning explosion. According to combat needs, mines can be set on vehicles, buildings, or landmines can be carried by animals to rush forward.)

When the soldiers settled down a little, busy comforting the horses, extinguishing the flames, and preparing to treat the wounded, accompanied by the roar from afar, there were waves of howling in the sky again.

"boom!"

"My God! Come again!"

"Run quickly! This is not a enemy of ten thousand people, it is a thunder in the sky!" Several gunners from the Qing army artillery battalions woke up first and ran away.

The first one to start to disintegrate was the "retreat barbarians" who followed the artillery battalion. They were so scared by the explosions and people shouting and shouting in front of them. When they saw the Qing army in front of them yelling and running back, they also ran around in scatters.

Although these border residents who were recruited urgently have undergone some training, they are not professional soldiers after all. In addition, the supplies and treatment are different from those of the Eight Banners, so their fighting will is naturally incomparable. In the eyes of these border residents, God is now slashing lightning, and this is a fart! Hurry up and sneak home with the food on the horse's back! The assistant leaders Fuke Jinge and Tasha, who were in charge of these archers, shouted loudly with a few personal soldiers, trying to stop the defeated soldiers. But seeing that the deaths and injuries caused by the explosion were more and more, the two of them understood that the situation was out of control, and they actually fled to the south with the rioters!

It's like putting a bad student and a top student at the same table. Not only did the boss not bring newbie, but the two skipped classes and skipped school together. If Fu Kangan, as the "class teacher", knew, he would have to be crazy on the spot.

In the central army where Ushhada was located, the personal cavalry holding the flag holding the reins with one hand and was trying to soothe the war horse under him; but the two explosions that sounded dozens of meters away made his war horse completely out of control. When he was hit hard by another shocked horse, the cavalry holding the flag rushed forward and flew out of the horse, breaking his neck.

In the smoke of fire, the Qing army lying on the ground to avoid the explosion looked up and saw the central army's flag suddenly disappear. They were shocked and said: "The Wujun Gate was beaten to death! Everyone, run away!"

The Qing army's Eastern Front troops were completely in chaos!

At this time, the lieutenant of the Guards led Dai Sanbao and Guanbao to stand up from the horse's back regardless of his own safety, and loudly scolded his escaped subordinates, trying to stop their dispersion. As the chief and deputy commander of the Firearms Battalion, Dai Sanbao and Guanbao's scolding did not work. Yaerjiang A from the artillery battalion loudly dissuaded with Dai Sanbao at first, but his voice was hoarse and had no effect. Yaerjiang A made a fuss, and he leaned shortly on the horse's back, and actually got into the escaped crowd and disappeared.

The main general Ushhada was unable to find it, and all the soldiers were fleeing. Dai Sanbao was completely disappointed. He pulled out the Yanling sword at his waist and was about to commit suicide. A shell happened to explode beside him. Dai Sanbao flew into the sky in the flames and the exploded mud.

When the deputy guards and lieutenant generals, Bao saw that Dai Sanbao was dead, he no longer had the intention to organize the team. He grabbed his legs and fled east with his personal soldiers.

"Thousand Victories! Thousand Victories!"

Up and down the walls of Furdan City, accompanied by the rumbling of cannons, and the cheers of thousands of people from Beihai Town were rising and rising. Chen Qingsong, who heard the news, walked up to the city and asked Zhao Xin: "Do you need to send militias to attack?"

Zhao Xin shook his head and said, "The large group of Fukang'an has not arrived yet, and there are Wang Yuanfang and others in the south. Let the militia strengthen their vigilance. According to what we said before, if the enemy approaches, fire platoons and fire at 150 meters!"

After Zhao Xin finished speaking, he got off the city wall and arrived at Chen Qingsong's logistics command center to inform Liu Sheng.

"Contact Wang Yuanfang immediately and order them to go out! Take down Mongolian Karen within two hours and cut off the Qing army's escape route south!"

"I understand! I'll notify him immediately!" Liu Sheng on the phone should have overcome his previous dull state, and his answer was very powerful.

The Qing army team on the southern line heard the rumbling cannons coming from six or seven miles north, and thought it was Ushhada who had already begun to attack the city, so they began to shout excitedly.

A genius leader in the team complained: "This Ushhada is so fucking the eggs in his butt, so anxious!"

As the deputy, Zuoring smiled and said, "I guess he wants to take down Furdan City first and let Grandmaster Fu repay him for his merits."

The gantang glared at her eyes and said disdainfully: "I really look down on him, just rely on him? Grandma!"

As the two were talking, they heard the sound of horse hooves coming from behind. When they turned around, they saw a messenger holding a flag running past the team and shouting: "The general has an order, and the entire army is lined up two miles away!"

Zuoreng said in surprise: "It's too early to line up now, right?"

"Shut up! This is the commander's military order, so you don't have any doubts!"

At this time, Fu Kangan knew that the Eastern Front had started, so he finally made up his mind to give it a try. While he kept sending scouts from the vanguard camp to investigate the north, he also sent a messenger to contact Duerjia, the camp of the Western Front and Ushhada, the Eastern Front. Ten thousand Qing troops on the Southern Front began to line up three miles away from Furdan City.

The formation set up by Fu Kang'an is the famous "Nine to Ten Chain".

In the 29th year of Kangxi (1690), Kangxi, who was in charge of the army, ordered Prince Heshuo Fuquan to lead 50,000 soldiers due to illness, plus auxiliary soldiers and logistics civilian teams, which were known as 100,000 troops, and camped forty miles away from Ulanbutong.

Since the Qing army's musket manufacturing was still at the level of the late Ming Dynasty, it was not the opponent of the Junggar army holding Tsarist Russian firearms. They suffered heavy losses and even Tong Guogang died in battle. After that, the Qing army simply stopped attacking and listed the "Nine-for-Ten Chain Formation" under the mountain, and began to bombard the Galdan South Invasion Army with artillery and muskets. They fought fiercely for a whole day, and the soldiers on both sides fought many hand-to-hand combat. In the end, the battle ended with the Galdan army's ammunition being exhausted.

At this time, the one who came to the forefront of the formation was the firearm battalions from all over the country. Each battalion had 458 people, and such formations were arranged in a total of twenty, totaling 9,200 people.

Each battalion is divided into three parts, and the formation is equipped with three sides of the flag.

There are sixty horns behind each flag, thirty shield chariots, eighty muskets and cotton armored soldiers, and two rope-guided soldiers at each station (responsible for keeping the fire and helping the musketeers to light the ignition rope). On both sides of the rope-guided soldiers, there are twenty spearmen and twenty flail stick soldiers. There are five magical generals on both sides of the flail stick soldiers, and three gunners are responsible for each cannon. On both sides of the cannon, there are also one hundred cavalrymen and one hundred birdlade cavalrymen.

There were also three leaders in charge of holding the flag flag, three cavalrymen, one scattered rank officer, two scattered rank officer, and twenty cavalrymen. Secondly, there were five scattered rank flags, fifteen scattered rank cavalrymen, two scattered rank cavalrymen, two scattered rank officers, and two scattered rank officers. Two red flags, and two scattered rank officers, and two scattered rank officers, and seven scattered rank officers.

Behind the first firearm battalion line is the second row at the center of the Forward Battalion and the procedures for retreating barbarians to both ends.

In addition, a group of civilians drove a large cart to the back of the second Qing army, unloaded a lot of wood from the cart, and began to build a high platform.

Two hours later, when the twenty battalions of the Qing army lined up a 2,370-meter-long snake formation with a depth of more than 160 meters on the vast plain in front of the Shuangcheng Castle, all the officers and soldiers of Beihai Town, including Zhao Xin and Liu Sheng, were stunned!

To the west, Liu Sheng applied cooling oil to the large bag that had not yet subsided on his forehead, and was amazed: "I'll go! I'll go~! I really have to play with muskets and cannons!"

In the trenches on the southern line, Sheng Haizhou looked at the opposite side and exclaimed: "It's really worthy of being a powerful army of the Celestial Empire! It's a pity that I met the lord."

Heita said: "After fighting this battle, can we live a peaceful life?"

Sheng Haizhou said: "It's hard to say that I think the lord must have his own plans. Lu Shoushan and the others will bring back many refugees from Henan. Pingtai, when I think that the lord's foundation will grow, I feel excited!"

Heita said: "Yes, at the beginning of last year, we were still living in Kumashima. Who would have thought that we would be today!"

Sheng Haizhou put down his telescope and nodded, "Yes! Our Beihai Town is invincible!"

Ding Guofeng didn't say anything for a long time, thinking that these two fools were hysterical again.

To the east, Zhao Xin stood at the top of the city, holding a telescope, and said in surprise: "I'll take a look! Old Chen, please take a look. It's better to see it at first sight than to hear it!"

Chen Qingsong looked at the powerful formation opposite and sighed: "How great it would be if he could keep it in history! What a pity!"

Liu Siting also ran to the top of the city, looked at it with a telescope, and said, "Why are there no handsome guy?"

Zhao Xin and Chen Qingsong: "."

"Bang~!" Zhao Xin and others were startled. After shrunk their heads, they saw a faint ball of white smoke rising from the distance. Then they heard a drum sound from the Qing army formation opposite.

Liu Siting asked curiously: "What are you doing?"

Zhao Xin shook his head and said, "I don't know much either. The sound just now should be a cannon, and it should be the head coach."

Having said that, Zhao Xin held the wall, pointed to the high platform in the distance with a smile, and said to Liu Siting: "The emoticon is here!"

"Who did you say?"

"Erkang, that's Fu Kang'an." After Zhao Xin finished speaking, he learned the lines of the TV series and said: "Ah! Ziwei, you can't have more than me, because I'm full!"

Liu Siting said with disdain, "Hey~~ It's so disgusting!"

Zhao Xin curled his lips and said, "I don't cooperate at all. If your doctor Hong is here, you should say 'You are full, then I'll spread it out!"

"Hait~! You're a big-headed ghost!"

At this time, after the Qing army's formation, with a sound of a camp cannon, amid the sound of drums, Fukang'an's sedan chair came to the already-set platform under the escort of hundreds of Central Army Guards. A horse-riding general who followed the sedan chair held a square gold-pinning cloud python flag with a five-foot-long side. The flag was decorated with flame patterns; the flag was crowned with a gilt iron roof, an iron plate, and decorated with red staves. This was the big flag used by Fukang'an to go out for expedition. If this battle was won, after the triumph, the flag would be put into the Ziguang Pavilion for preservation.

Another genital general held a yellow flag more than ten feet wide in his hand, and wrote a big "superhe" in the middle in Manchu and Chinese characters; the flag was crowned with a golden wooden gourd top and a blue streamer.

In addition, there is a rectangular banner that is more than ten feet high, which reads "I am appointed as the Grand Secretary, First Class Jiayong Marquis, Prince Taibao, Imperial Minister, and Jilin General Fu."

The curtain of the sedan swayed, and Fu Kangan walked out of it.

"See the Grand Marshal!" The hundreds of commanders, deputy commanders, generals, and assistant leaders raised their hands to deliver a calm military salute to Fukang'an.

"No gift." Fu Kang'an's face was normal. He asked Fu Ming'a, the commander of the forward battalion, and said, "What's the situation of the thief?"

"Report to the Grand Marshal! The thief dug a four-mile-long trench under the city of Furdan, and so on the city of Jurgen. Now they are all huddled in it and dare not go out. According to the bidding, people are sent to investigate, and the other party seems to have only one or two thousand people."

"It's just a group of clowns who are sharp with guns and cannons. My Qing Dynasty soldiers are invincible!" After hearing this, the generals smiled on their faces.

Fu Kangan knew the truth that morale could not be vented, so he deliberately expressed his contempt for Beihai Town in his words. As for the news of Duerjia's defeat, only a few people including Chengdu General E Hui knew about it.

He has not closed his eyes since last night, and has been thinking about launching the general attack almost all night. The sand table map in the area of ​​Furdan City can flash in front of him as soon as he closes his eyes, vividly watching. Last night, he still looked at the candle and looked at it. The closer the morning, the more irritable he felt; the excitement was filled with tension and expectation, and a little uneasy.

Unexpectedly, news of Duerjia's retreat came in the morning, which deepened his anxiety. The army of 7,500 people lost. Is Duerjia too incompetent or the other party knows magic? It's as Fu Ming'a said, the man named Zhao Xin only has one or two thousand people? This is too horrifying.

Fu Kangan took back his chaotic thoughts, clasped his fists and bowed his hands to the generals, saying to the generals: "The emperor is dressed and fed overnight, and conquered the strong army of the Eight Banners in the world. A real man made a contribution to this, serves the country and the emperor. He will never be allowed to lose money! If he cannot destroy this court food today, Fu Kangan will have to die to repay this kindness of the world!"

"We dare not die if we fail to serve!"

"E Hui, Shu Liang, Pulp, Mukden, Fuminga, follow me to the commander-in-chief to watch the enemy! The others will return to the camp and wait for the order!"

"tie!"

The coaching platform is built on a slightly arched earth slope, more than six meters high, and the area on the platform is only eight or nine square meters. Inside the railing, in addition to the position where the banner is placed, there is also a Taishi chair in tiger skin.

When three big flags were raised on the commanding platform, tens of thousands of soldiers shouted in the shocking drums and music: "Wan Sheng!Wan Sheng!Wan Sheng!"

Everyone went to the handsome stage, and Fu Kangan took the Qianli Miles mirror handed behind him and looked at the opposite side.

Fu Ming'a, who was standing beside him, pointed and said, "Master, please see. The thief dug two trenches more than four miles long on the west and south of the two cities, with soldiers hidden there. There are some strange facilities behind the trenches, and the subordinates don't know what it is."

In Qianlijing's vision, the trenches opposite were dug in a tortuous manner, and there were crowds of people inside. Fu Kangan noticed that some thieves poked out their upper bodies from the trenches and were watching from them.

Following Fuminga's finger, he noticed that there were six strange buildings without roofs on the wings of the opposite position. These buildings only enclose half a circle with two mud walls, with wide gaps in front and back; the open space between the two dark pipes and earth walls poked out, facing him. In addition, some weapons that seemed to be carrying guns were set up behind the trenches; what is noticeable is that those carrying guns were equipped with light brown shields in front of them. This should be the kind of cannon that Chita said was about to shoot, and the power of firing could knock out the mother-child guns of hundreds of kilograms away.

Fu Kangan put down his eyes and ordered fiercely: "No matter what, let the cannon speak first! Send the order! All the general cannons fire in one round!"
