Chapter 2033
This is not the first time that Bayano has fought directly with the Haihan army. At this time last year, he also had the experience of fighting the Haihan army in Manila, and the end result was the same. They all fled the battlefield in a panic.A year has passed, and on the northern continent thousands of miles away from Manila, the same scene actually reappeared, which seemed like an endless loop of nightmares, and Bayano was terrified.
When this happened, Bayano knew he had made a crucial mistake.First of all, he did not arrange security around the training area, which is already a taboo for marching and fighting.He believed that this was the area controlled by the Qing army, and it was very close to the fortress defense line and the Qing army camp. Logically speaking, there seemed to be no enemy troops in this area, so he had no awareness of preventing problems before they happened.Even though they knew that the Haihan army might invade from the sea, they were still paralyzed and did not take preventive measures. Otherwise, if they could give a warning a moment in advance, they might be able to concentrate on fighting the enemy.
Secondly, he seldom arranges emergency response measures in his daily training, because the function of this musketeer team is not an assault force, and it will not even show up on the frontal battlefield for a short time, and it will suddenly encounter enemies in the rear. The possibility of an attack is extremely slim - at least Bayano and the top Qing army think so.
God knows how a group of Haihan troops came to this place without making a sound, and even launched an attack so boldly.Bayano didn't realize that the opponent was coming for his musketeers until this time, and he still thought it was a sudden accident.
Bayano knew that the Qing soldiers who failed to leave in time would be in danger, but at this time, he didn't care so much, and the most important thing was to escape by himself.As long as they could escape back to the Qing army camp as soon as possible, the Haihan army would not dare to attack easily.It's just that his training results over the past few months fell short, which really made Bayano feel a little distressed. Although the combat level of these soldiers could not meet his requirements, if he really had to replace a group of soldiers, the quality might be better than this one. One batch was even worse.
After fleeing for about five miles, Bayano could barely hear the gunfire, and when he looked back, there was no enemy chasing him on horseback. He stopped to regroup and waited for several Qing soldiers who also escaped on horseback one after another. , and then returned to the camp together.
When Bayano and others rushed back to the Qing army camp, Sun Bing was rushing to the planned retreat point on the coast with his subordinates.According to the prior arrangement, there were at least two warships and two troop carriers on standby in the coastal waters, and they could arrive at the scheduled location to join Sun Bing within two to three hours after receiving the signal to retreat.
The materials in the temporary base probably don’t have time to rush back to carry them, but the personnel staying at the base will deal with the more important things, such as ammunition and personal items, will be taken away as much as possible, and the rest will be destroyed on the spot to avoid being destroyed. The Qing army picked a cheap one.As for things like food and medicinal materials, they are not valuables in themselves, so it's fine if they can't be moved.
The dozens of horses seized from the Musketeers were used to transport the captives and captured weapons, which saved Sun Bing a lot of trouble, and he no longer had to consider whether to give up taking all the muskets captured on the spot.
Although the performance of these muskets is far inferior to the renzhu rifles equipped by the Marine Corps, they are not worthless. If they are resold to North Korea or Ming Dynasty, I believe both countries will be very interested in it.Sun Bing packed up and shipped back all the muskets seized at the scene, and believed that they would resell them after verifying their sources in the future.
Since the retreat route was to march in the mountains and the number of captured horses was limited, the speed of the march was actually much slower than that of Bayano who fled back to the Qing army camp.
The general who was in charge of the Qing army camp where the Musketeers were originally stationed was Azige, King of Wuying County. He still has the full trust of Huang Taiji, and let him sit in one of the two camps behind the defense line of the Jinzhou Fortress as the main general.
Azig has suffered a lot under the hands of the Haihan army, so he is naturally very aware of the power of guns and artillery, so he is also one of the supporters of firearm warfare in the army, but he does not agree with the firearms of the Han army flag Instead of expanding the scale of the army, it is suggested to use Manchurians as the team to form a more "pure-blooded" firearms force.
However, it is easier said than done. It is not easy to form a firearms unit. The source of weapons alone has always been difficult for the Qing army to solve.Although the introduction of Han craftsmen has been able to manufacture guns by themselves, the production capacity and quality are not satisfactory, especially in the comparison with the powerful enemy of the Haihan Army, it seems that the self-made weapons of the Qing Dynasty are unusable.
The second is the tactical issue of the firearms troops. Although there are a group of former Ming army officers who had defected to Houjin in the Han army flag who can teach relevant techniques and tactics, in Azig's view, the tactics they mastered are not advanced enough. Even the Qing army couldn't beat them at the beginning, so how could they expect to use their tactics to defeat the Haihan army, which was stronger than the Qing army.
The arrival of the Spanish officer Bayano undoubtedly solved the problem that had plagued the Qing army for a long time to a certain extent.The weapons and tactics he brought were much higher than the current level of the Qing army. Azig even felt that the things taught by the Spaniards had many similarities with the tactics of the Haihan army, and this is what the Qing army should do. development path.
However, the Spaniards are really stingy. The muskets they sent couldn’t even be armed by a single soldier, and there is no time when the next batch of weapons will be delivered. Even if the Qing Dynasty is willing to buy them at a high price, the Spaniards have no intention of changing their minds. , This made the generals of the Qing army, including Azig, very disappointed. They even thought that this road would not work.
According to the Spaniards and the middleman who made the match, they spent so much time and traveled such a long way to provide weapons and personnel training to the Qing State in the name of military aid. carry out military strikes.But what Azig didn't understand was that since such a big battle was being fought, why didn't he supply more weapons to the Qing State, or simply set up a weapon-making workshop in the Qing State, so that the Qing army could Expand the size of the firearms unit in a short period of time.Even though the Qing Dynasty had made it clear to the other party that it could buy weapons or manufacturing technology with a lot of money, the other party still refused to let go.
Azig doesn't understand the suffering of the Spaniards, and no one will tell him that the Spaniards suffered a big defeat at the beginning of the year, and even the colonial capital was occupied by the Haihan people. At present, there is no large-scale arms sale at all. ability.But in this way, his enthusiasm for this cooperation project is also greatly reduced, and it is difficult to agree with the partner's approach.
It wasn't until the musketeers won a complete victory in the ambush and successfully destroyed the cavalry patrol of the Haihan Army that the top Qing army realized that it was possible to defeat the Haihan Army by relying on this cooperation project.Therefore, the team that regained attention got more resources again, invested more manpower to set up a reserve team, and provided Bayano with more generous personal treatment.
But Azig never expected that Bayano, who had high hopes, arranged training activities away from the camp on a whim, which led to the almost complete destruction of the Musketeers team that had just started to improve in the sudden blow.
After Bayano hurriedly fled back to the camp with the rest of his subordinates, he didn't go to see Azig first, but sent someone to find another translator, otherwise he wouldn't be able to communicate with him at all. Azig communicates.Fortunately, the intermediary left two translators in Liaodong, otherwise, after the translator died today under the gun of the Haihan Army, Bayano would have to be a talking mute.
Azig also thought that Bayano's return to camp was much earlier than expected. Obviously, when he applied to go out for training, he expected to spend a whole day, so he slipped back just after noon.But before he had time to ask about the training results, he heard the bad news brought back by the other party.
"The Haihan army has actually come here!" Azig couldn't sit still after hearing this: "Pass me an order to let Erhe and Etenyi assemble their teams and prepare to go!"
Azig immediately ordered two Jiala soldiers and horses, intending to wipe out this daring Haihan army.The place where the musketeers were attacked was not within the usual range of activities of the Haihan army. They dared to appear in the area between the fort defense line and the Qing army camp.
However, after Azig ordered his soldiers, he did not act impulsively. Instead, he asked Bayano again for the details of the battle, focusing on the size of the opponent's troops and the status of their weapons.
When Bayano mentioned that the weapons used by this Haihan army were repeating rifles, the corners of Azig's mouth couldn't help twitching.He has been dealing with the Haihan Army for two or three years, so he naturally knows that this is a high-end musket that only a few elite troops in the Haihan Army are qualified to equip.According to the information I have, the Haihan troops equipped with this kind of continuous-firing rifles should have been stationed in North Korea recently, and there are no traces of these troops in Jinzhou. Why did they suddenly appear in our own defense line? rear.
Azig's first reaction also did not consider that the target of the Haihan army was Bayano's Musketeers, but thought that the location where it appeared might be related to its mission, such as launching an attack on the fortress defense line from the rear and destroying the current situation. Some defensive strongholds and so on.After all, it was only decided two days ago that Bayano led the team to practice, and very few people knew about this arrangement in advance.
This is not because the Haihan army arranged measures to mislead the Qing army. No one would have thought that the Haihan army had been lurking around here for more than half a month.It was not because he accidentally ran into Bayano's musketeers in that col, but a surprise attack after a long period of monitoring and observing and controlling its action patterns.
Time, place, and environment are all the best opportunities for Sun Bing's team to act, but for the Qing army with asymmetric information, this battle is more like an emergency, and this matter has not been taken to a higher level. Think about it in a deeper direction.
But in any case, Azig can't sit back and watch a Haihan army do whatever they want in this area and retreat unscathed.Even if the opponent is the terrifying army known as the Haihan Ace Army, the Qing army must attack decisively at this time.If they can injure the opponent severely after this, or even annihilate the Haihan army, then the Musketeer team of their own side will not be considered a loss in vain.
But at this time there is a new problem. After the battle, it is obviously impossible for this Haihan army to stay in place and wait for the Qing army to come and suppress them. So which direction will they go next?Azig looked at the map, which must be judged based on the local geographical environment.
The location where the battle took place is the Qing army camp where Azig is located to the north, and the sea to the south and east. If the Haihan army continues to march in the southwest inland direction, it will be the defense line of the Daheishan fortress under the control of the Qing army.These major military landmarks are definitely no secret to the Haihan Army. After all, the two sides have fought for a long time, and it is easy to learn this basic information from the prisoners of war.
If the other party wants to continue to stay in this area, they must either go inland, or retreat to the mountains and forests on the coast.The first option is undoubtedly to dance on the tip of the knife, because there are not many places where they can hide their whereabouts. Once they are discovered, they will be attacked by the two garrisons of the fortress line and the Qing army camp. There may not even be a chance to escape, and Azig does not think that the commander of the Haihan Army will make such a low-level mistake.
Azig thought that since the other party had already appeared, he probably wouldn't go inland rashly, and could only retreat to the mountains and forests to hide, or even go directly to the sea.From this point of view, the possibility of hiding in the forest near Jinshitan is the greatest.But to seal off and search such a large forest, and considering the level of combat power shown by the opponent, it is estimated that the strength of the two Jiala is still a bit tight.
In order to be on the safe side, Azig ordered to add two more Jiala troops, and sent someone to inform the fortress defense line, so that the garrison there should also strictly monitor the passage into the inland area, so as not to let the Haihan army confuse Entered the big black mountain and lurked down.Although this possibility is not too great, but since the other party dared to touch the vicinity of the camp, no one can guarantee whether the Haihan army will take more bold actions in the future.
The camp was very close to the mountains and forests on the coast of Jinshitan, so there was no need to make much preparations. The soldiers of the Qing army could set off immediately with their weapons, so the speed of gathering troops was also very fast.While Sun Bing's troops were still trekking through the mountains and forests, the first Niulu assembled by the Qing army had already stepped out of the camp.

This is not the first time that Bayano has fought directly with the Haihan army.
