486 And the flame was high when they gathered wood

This time, there were many more casualties than the first time, at least more than 100 people were lying on the ground groaning in pain, and the car was smashed apart by iron bullets, which also exposed the Jianlu hiding behind to the Ming army's field of vision.

The soldiers of the Ming army, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately waited for the military order, and the flintlock musketeers opened fire together.

"Woo Woo ......"

A single person's shield is only against bows and arrows, and the protection against lead bullets fired by muskets is still very poor. Even if the Jianyu sword and shield soldiers raised their shields in time, under several rounds of volleys from the Ming soldiers, the fate of these Jianyu sword and shield soldiers was often that the shields in their hands were broken, and the people were lying on the ground and rolling.

Immediately on the ground, more than two hundred more were groaning in pain.

Seeing this scene, Meng Qiaofang was a little dumbfounded.

The Ming army's two responses were all unexpected, so that his men suffered heavy losses. The Ming army didn't even touch the edge, and he lost almost five hundred men.

Although in terms of casualties, the proportion of 10,000 men is not high. However, the unexpected way the Ming army responded just now was a heavy blow to their morale, which he could see by casually glancing at the expressions of his subordinates.

When did the Ming army become so good at fighting? Who is the chief general of the Ming army opposite?

Naturally, he could not have imagined that in fact, these ways of dealing with each other were not the ideas of one person, but the result of discussions among many generals above the guerrilla general level under the auspices of Zhang Mingwei.

The so-called three stinkers, the top Zhuge Liang, now Jianyu has tasted this power.

In this way, Jianyu was defeated again, and compared to the first time, the lost car could not be replenished.

At this moment, Meng Qiaofang faced the Ming army's position on the ground, and felt at a loss. Remembering that he had just boasted about Haikou in front of Turg, he was suddenly a little scared. I'm afraid that Turg will threaten him with this, or use him to make a decision. Although it was not enough to kill him, it was not uncommon for him to be beaten several times in public.

However, he was overly concerned.

Turge quickly sent someone over and explained to Meng Qiaofang: "My lord said, he has already sent someone back to the city to transport the general's cannon, you wait, wait for the general's cannon to arrive before attacking." When the time comes, if the battle is still ineffective, it will be dealt with by military law! ”

As soon as she heard this, Meng Qiaofang couldn't help but be overjoyed, and hurriedly wanted to pat her chest to assure, but immediately remembered that he had already been slapped in the face once, so she didn't dare to pat her chest again.

Even so, it is also obvious that he is very much looking forward to the performance of the Great General Cannon.

……………………

Seeing that the Jianyu infantry army was no longer attacking, Ma Xianglin was not happy but worried. Because according to the prior deduction, for this situation, there is a high probability that the Jianyu will use heavy artillery to bombard.

There is really nothing good to do about this situation.

Heavy artillery has a long range and can only be relied on to return fire from heavy artillery. But on my own side, it is not realistic to transport heavy artillery from a ship, it is too heavy. And the cavalry of Jianyu was eyeing the other side, and they were also staring at the other side of the beach. The speed of the heavy artillery movement is quite slow, and it is basically difficult to transport a heavy cannon from the watchful eye of the Jianyu cavalry.

And even if one or two heavy artillery pieces are brought in, if they are bombarded with the Jianyu heavy artillery, it will also not be able to solve the problem that the Jianyu heavy artillery will bombard the side van.

That is to say, the next battle is the time to test the Ming army.

Thinking so, Ma Xianglin looked up at the sky and found that there was at least an hour or so before it got dark. According to the agreement with Xingguo Gong, the cavalry was to arrive before dark.

However, it is not so easy to get the time accurate when it is such a long way by land.

I think that back then, the Ming army divided into four routes to expedition against the newly rising Jianzhou Jurchen, because the four-way army did not arrive at the designated place at the agreed time. Once they set off, they couldn't contact each other, resulting in no imaginary cooperation between each other, and as a result, they were broken by the Jianzhou Jurchens, and Salhu was defeated, and the other roads were also defeated.

Xingguo Gong, can you really arrive in time?

Ma Xianglin's heart has been worrying about this problem.

As for the situation of this operation, the officers and men of the Ming army naturally knew about it.

Otherwise, no matter how bold they were, they would definitely be afraid of the lone army inserting behind Jianyu to stop Jianlu. This is especially true when he has never won against Jianlu on land before.

Therefore, Zhang Mingwei directly asked Ma Xianglin to tell the soldiers of the infantry army the specific battle plan. Let them know that as long as they stop Jianlu for about half a day as planned, the cavalry will be able to arrive, and then they will be able to defeat Jianyu and make military achievements.

It can be said that all aspects of this war have actually been considered after preliminary discussions.

……………………

Time is slowly passing, whether it is a cavalry army or an infantry army, Jianyu does not attack, but just eyeing the Ming army.

On the side of the Ming army, they were also resting, with a little unease. Everyone knew that when the heavy artillery of Ningyuan City was transported by Jianqing, it was the beginning of the arduous battle.

In this regard, the soldiers of the White Pole Army are the most calm, because they are actually Ma Xianglin's private soldiers, if they dare to run away timidly, not only will they definitely die, but even the people in the family will be affected. This kind of relationship also makes the military discipline of the White Pole Army the best all along.

Now that their toasts themselves are on the front line, it is even less likely that they will have the heart to run away in fear.

At the beginning, Zhang Mingwei took a fancy to this, so he asked Ma Xianglin to lead the infantry army to complete the blocking task this time.

Waiting, waiting, it seems to be very long, and it seems to be very fast. Anyway, the sky was still bright, and I suddenly heard cheers from Jianyu's side.

As soon as they heard this movement, all the soldiers of the Ming army knew that the heavy artillery of Jianyu had arrived, and it was time for a bloody battle.

……………………

On his part, Turg was proud of his wise decision at the beginning. Fortunately, he thought of this possibility from the beginning, so he sent someone to give an order to Ning Yuan City early and transported two heavy cannons from Ning Yuan City.

Now that the attack on the position of the Ming army is fruitless, the heavy artillery bombardment, and the Ming army is a lamb to the slaughter.

"This time, give me a good beating, I don't want to see these bright dog pestles there again before sunset!" Turg stared at Meng Qiaofang, who rushed over, and said sternly.

Among the Jianyu, those who operated the artillery were all Han Chinese who surrendered to Jianyu. A considerable part of them were the artillerymen who Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming brought to Liaodong, and were trained by Sun Yuanhua with Portuguese instructors.

Therefore, Meng Qiaofang was very sure, so he immediately responded to Turge: "Don't worry, my lord, with heavy artillery in hand, it will definitely blow the Ming army to pieces!" ”

Here, based on the previous lesson, he played a careful mind. However, Turg did not find out, but only ordered the whole army to prepare for battle.

On his territory, he was actually blocked and robbed by the Ming army, which was simply an insult to the Qing army and to himself. If you don't defeat this Ming army as soon as possible, and go back to Shengjing in the future, you will inevitably be laughed at by others.

With Turg's order, both cavalry and infantry in the Jianyu army began to prepare.

And the Ming army, on the other hand, also began to prepare for the most severe challenges. Death will be inevitable!

But at this moment, suddenly there was a Jianyu Tanma galloping like crazy, and when he saw the banner of Turg, he galloped over, and only stopped his horse until he was close to the front, and the war horse kept screaming: "My lord, the Ming cavalry has been killed, at least more than 10,000 troops." ”

"What?" When Turg heard this, he was immediately shocked, "Where did the Ming army get so many cavalry troops?" ”

Although there was an urgent report before, saying that he found that there were four or five thousand cavalry in the Ming army, according to his understanding of the Ming army, this was already the limit of the Ming army in Shanhaiguan. Because before this, it had never been found that the Ming cavalry had this number.

Even before, when the Ming State gathered all the cavalry to attack the hinterland of Liaodong, it was only 5,000 cavalry. Later, I heard that the cavalry was divided into a part and went to Dongjiang Town. Therefore, he always thought that the Ming cavalry on this side of Shanhaiguan would reach the top with 5,000 horsemen.

His question, Tanma naturally couldn't answer.

However, there was no need to probe the horse to answer, and I saw the rumbling sound of horses' hooves from the direction of Ningyuan.

Meng Qiaofang was preparing to fight, when he heard the movement, and quickly turned his head to look. He didn't know the specific situation, and he was still wondering, where did Turg transfer the cavalry again?

As a result, just looking behind him, he saw that in his field of vision, one by one Ming soldiers in red military uniforms, one person and two horses, galloped towards this side.

Not only did he see it, but all the Jianyu could be said to have seen it.

All of a sudden, these captives were all dumbfounded!

What's going on, at a glance, it's just thousands of horses, and the Ming cavalry dares to rush to Ningyuan so arrogantly? They didn't wait for the infantry army, did they send food to the Qing Dynasty?

However, Turge received an urgent report from the horse scout and knew that there would be tens of thousands of Ming cavalry troops behind, so he was not in the mood to think about "eating vegetables", so he immediately shouted the order and prepared for battle.

This military order is passed on, and all the Jianyu are a little inexplicable, just this point of the Ming cavalry, as for such a great enemy?

They haven't carried out the military order yet, and the Daming infantry army has already seen the traces of the cavalry robes, and suddenly, everyone can't help but be overjoyed, and immediately cheered loudly.

Because they know that the reinforcements are all cavalry, and since they have seen the forward, the main force of the cavalry is not far away.

After hearing the thunderous cheers of the Ming infantry army, the Jianyu who did not know the situation was not stupid, and immediately knew that the Ming army that rushed to the country was estimated to be no less.

It was then that they felt the earth shake. As far as the eye can see, countless Ming cavalry troops are galloping forward. At a glance, you can't see how many cavalry troops there are behind, it just feels like it's red.
