Chapter 1530: Flame
The first team members were skilled and experienced in the movements, quick and fast slapping. Their moves quickly and the speed of sudden forwards were also extremely fast.
On the way to the Tangchi, they had quietly killed several Jurchen patrol patrols, and they fired guns incorrectly or swung their swords to kill them. Each gun must be won, and each sword must be won!
The soldiers usually do not do such things well, or they do not master the distance well, or they move too violently to alarm the enemy. However, these operation team members do not have such problems. Everything they train and experience must be solved quickly and ruthlessly, and the highest standard is to kill the enemy without causing big noises.
After revealing their whereabouts, these people's movements were also very skillful and sophisticated.
After they destroyed a wave of enemies, they did not stop, but continued to make a quick breakthrough.
Some people used swords to kill the Mongolian and Jurchen cavalry who were in shock and panic. Because they were fighting in close combat, the horses did not run. The clumsy cavalry were not opponents of light infantrymen, especially the people in the operation team, who were superb martial arts and acted very quickly. Even the Jurchen soldiers who caught up later could not deal with them immediately. Many Jurchens roared in anger and began to jump off the horse to fight with the people in these operation teams.
At least one team of members of the action team broke into the pond and ran in the gap in the large building area.
If that Mellere really had hair, he would definitely be standing up in panic now.
It was an unforgivable mistake to actually be penetrated by enemy soldiers. When Lao Khan wakes up tomorrow to deal with this matter, his best ending will be to be deprived of his official position, whipped, or even beheaded and executed.
Lao Khan cannot forgive the garrisons who made mistakes. If he makes mistakes by chance on the battlefield, he may have the chance to be forgiven. However, if he makes a mistake during the garrison, he will not be forgiven even if he does not cause serious consequences. Lao Khan attaches great importance to his own safety. Even if the guards forget to lock the small matter, they will kill people. What's more, in the Tangchi where Lao Khan is located, he was penetrated by a group of armed enemies!
Meller's face was really deformed in horror. He directed everyone with a passionate tone, and must kill the group of people who rushed in.
But it's too late!
All movements of the action team have certain rules, such as now, we need to break through and create chaos. Their movements are extremely rapid. The training and practical training made these action team members extremely clear and their movements are quite coherent.
Whether it is the Jurchens or the Mongols, they lack relative experience in dealing with such spy tactics. In fact, not only do they have no experience but perform very badly, but even the army may not be much better in a few hundred years.
A small country can send dozens of spies to sneak into the capital of a hostile country, kill and kill, and almost enter the presidential palace to complete the beheading mission. If it is not the fact, can you believe it?
In this era, the operation team of Hutchison Military Intelligence Department is a soldier of spy warfare that is far higher than the standards of the times. They are constantly training for this moment and have experienced several small-scale practical assessments. The unqualified spy personnel were eliminated. This time, they were dispatched to the essence of the two major war zones, and they should have such outstanding performance.
The front team's spies entered the scene and did not find the target they were interested in to assassinate. Their purpose was to be elsewhere.
Black jars were hung around the waists of these people. They took out silver lighters to ignite the rope at the mouth of the jar. The flames flashed quickly, and then the operation team members threw out the burning jars.
The houses in Tangchi are made of bricks and tiles, but there are also quite a few wooden and thatch-roofed houses.
The national strength of the Later Jin Dynasty was still very weak, and even the relatives and nobles came to enjoy the soup pool without completely using brick and tile structure.
Even the brick and tile structure is made of wooden beams and a large amount of wooden furniture, which are as easy to burn.
Lighters were a product that was more than a hundred years ahead of schedule. They began to be used in large quantities in Europe more than a hundred years later, while the ignited fire jars had long been used.
Fierce turbulent oil, in fact, has been used in China's war history for a long time. It is easier to obtain some oil today.
There have been long been records of filling jars or using serious hot oil cabinets. In the military books of the Song Dynasty, there are not only records but also detailed pictures of the hot oil cabinets.
The Ming army did not record the use of strong tinder oil, because mature firearms have appeared.
Just as the various strong bows and hard crossbows used by the Song people in large quantities, such as the Divine Arm Bow, no longer existed in the Ming Dynasty's army. In particular, crossbows have always been the characteristic of the Chinese army and were abandoned in the Ming Dynasty.
Because something better appears, it is normal to eliminate old weapons, and it is not surprising.
But in such a surprise attack, the fire pot played a very important role.
After throwing out the fire jars, they burned everywhere. The fire swept across more than a dozen houses in an instant. The crackling sound of the fire burning quickly came everywhere, and then the screams of people. Many people tried to pass through the instantly burning fire, and then their clothes and hair were ignited by the fire. They rolled on the ground in a scream, trying to extinguish the fire on their bodies, but after the harsh ignition oil was touched, it was not easy to extinguish. People who ran out in panic at the first time were mostly burned to death by the fire.
However, some people were not in a hurry, and seized the opportunity to jump out in the ups and downs of the flames, so that they could escape their lives.
The burning fire caused extreme chaos in the Tangchi, especially the fire almost instantly. There were many famous officials and generals of the Later Jin Dynasty who fled in a panic. Later I learned that the Fourth Prince Tang was burned to death in the fire in ancient times, and he was the most inexplicable Manchu relative who died.
Hundreds of people fled in the fire, and the scene was extremely chaotic. After breaking into the team, the second wave of commandos also rushed to the periphery of Tangchi and began to defeat the periphery.
The Mongols had retreated, and they dared not run away, but they retreated step by step.
In such a scene, no Jurchen or Mongol turned around and ran away, which is quite normal behavior.
All the relatives and nobles in the Tangchi are relatives, including Lao Khan. Anyone present who dares to run away will be tortured and beheaded, and will affect their family members.
This is the most serious place for the Jurchen military law. On the battlefield, the main general was killed in battle, and all his subordinates returned were killed.
If the soldiers guarding Lao Khan dare to run away, they will die as long as the Jurchens do not destroy the country.
Under the harsh military law, Unag and others gathered with the remnants of the Jurchens. They hoped that there would be established soldiers and horses to come to rescue them as soon as possible. But now only Gebushxian, who was guarding Lao Khan, had not moved in the Tangchi. The rest of the soldiers were either sent to drive the Dongjiang soldiers, or burned to pieces in the fire.
At this time, Unag and others came to understand that they and others encountered a well-prepared raid, and their opponents were not the beggar soldiers of the Dongjiang soldiers. Not to mention the firearms, they were the excellent mail, short crossbows, excellent sword weapons, and thrown weapons on these enemy soldiers, no matter what, they were not comparable to those of the Dongjiang soldiers.
The army in front of us is not comparable to that of the Dongjiang soldiers. Its determination and courage to attack Tangchi is not comparable to that of the Guanning troops in western Liaoning.
Although Unag was a Mongolian, he had not been exposed to a lot of high-level news. Almost instantly, he could be sure that the raid today must be the Hutchison merchants.
Apart from this, there is no other possibility.
Strong, daring to fight, and well-equipped, is equivalent to the gathering of Dongjiang soldiers, Qin soldiers, and Guanning soldiers.
In the Ming Dynasty, even the emperor could not find such an army. Only the legendary extremely wealthy and powerful merchant army could select such a powerful soldier to raid.
Of course, Unag was not sure, and there was no time for him to think about it now, especially nearly a hundred enemy soldiers arrived one after another. The number of Mongolian and Jurchen soldiers guarding the outside of Tangchi was far less than that of the enemy soldiers. The power of the cavalry was severely weakened due to close killing. Especially after the second round of enemy soldiers arrived, another round of muskets was slapped, almost causing Unag and others to have no power to fight back.
When Melee was really knocked off the horse and Unag himself was also injured by a knife, the remaining soldiers and horses finally couldn't help but escape.
They did not dare to run far, but instead took a detour and fled to the inside of the Tangchi, so there was still a chance to explain.
The members of the rushing operation team had no intention of chasing them, and these defenders were not their targets.
According to the drawing path given by Cao Zhenyan, Chen Yan and others began to attack Nurhaci's residence. Along the way, some of the Jurchens who ran out, their weak resistance was instantly shattered.
Many corpses were left along the way, and some operation team members were injured or killed in battle. So far, the losses were still quite minor and almost negligible.
Lao Khan's Tangchi station is located in the middle of a large area of buildings, and many houses are still catching fires around. Of course, this is the chaos caused by the first team of personnel continuing to set fire everywhere.
There are still hundreds of people in the Tangchi. If organized, it will cause great trouble to Chen Jian and others. With the efforts of the first team, the difficulty of these people being organized has increased exponentially.
Nurhaci's residence was built with walls, stones and bricks and stones, and there were more than a dozen houses inside. After the movement, the garrison inside had turned off the lights, and it looked like a dark and ordinary house.
At this time, Chen Yan couldn't help but be glad that the raid was not a very careful operation, but a temporary decision after learning that the Dongjiang Army had a plan to attack Tang Chi. The preparations were not very thorough. His understanding of the Tang Chi area was a summary of intelligence work in recent years. There was no accurate source of information such as Nurhaci's residence.
This time, the help Cao Zhenyan provided was really important, and it was completely worth the lives of more than a hundred of them.
"Take the fire cup first!" Chen Yan pointed to the building community in front of him and ordered sternly.
Chapter completed!
