Chapter 457: The Eight Banners are very strong (the second update, ask for subscription)
For a whole day, tens of thousands of officers and men have been digging trenches through earthwork to meet the enemy, and getting closer to the long trenches of Jiannu through close operations.
However, at first, their actions did not attract Ahdan's attention, and it was not until near evening, after the wind and snow had stopped, that Ahadan shouted in horror when he found that the long trench of the Ming army was close to less than a mile away.
"Tong Guoyao, look what it is!"
"Yes, long trench, the Ming army is forcing over with a long trench, we have to block them immediately, otherwise it's all over!" "How do you block that? Bombarded with cannons? ”
What are the people of the Tong family best at? It's a firearm! Ahadan naturally thought of the cannon, but Tong Guoyao's eyes narrowed, and then said.
"They are hiding in the trenches, we use artillery bombardment is useless, last time in Jinzhou, the Ming army blocked us with a long trench, the emperor has been thinking about how to break the long trench, at that time we were standing there to let the Ming army bombard, want to avoid shells, guns, you have to hide in the trench, you have to dig the trench, attack the trench with the trench, never thought that we haven't used it, the Ming army used it first......"
Muttering a sentence in his mouth, Tong Guoyao looked at Ahadan and said.
"Attack at night with armor! Hit them off guard! ”
"They dug up nine trenches!"
"Then send nine roads of men and horses to kill them, the long trench is narrow, you don't need so many people and horses, just kill them by surprise!"
……
In the dark night, in the long trench of the Qing army, a group of Eight Banner soldiers wearing cotton armor looked coldly ahead, and they all held heavy weapons in their hands without exception, from maces to axes to short-handled hammers, which should be called Guduo. Only these weapons can "break the armor", and the armor breaking does not have to be broken, and smashing it hard is also a fatal blow. Especially the kind of Ming iron armor worn by the Ming army - ordinary swords and arrows are completely useless to hit, that is, it is such a strike weapon that can come in handy.
"After a while, no one is allowed to speak, just like hunting, the slightest movement, the prey escapes, understand?"
Rontar stared at the hundreds of armored soldiers behind him and said in a deep voice.
Perhaps, he has been away from the mountains and forests for more than ten years, but for him and the minions in front of him, hunting in the white mountains and black waters is their ability to live.
These Eight Banner soldiers with weapons in their hands all showed a cruel smile, once upon a time, they relied on their brute courage to kill the side wall, defeated the Ming army, captured Liaodong, and turned the Han people into slaves, and now, the Ming army with guns and cannons made their brute bravery into something worthless, but today, they are going to tell those Ming army once again what is Jurchen, what is Jurchen invincible.
They are all baturu who can fight tigers!
As for the Ming army, it's just a weak and vulnerable "Nikan"!
We...... That's very murderous!
Finally, until the early hours of the morning, in the twilight, these Jurchen soldiers in white armor quietly walked out of the long trench, they wore white armor, not because they were soldiers with white flags, but because white cotton armor could make them hide in the snow. They held maces and bones in one hand and javelins in the other, and gently approached the Ming army with their waists bent.
The twilight and the snow on the ground covered their figures, and the white cotton armor allowed them to hide completely in the snow, but they were only a few feet away from the long trench, and Tong Guoyao, Ahadan and others in the trench could no longer see their figures.
As for the North Korean Green Battalion soldiers, they are all staring at the snow with wide eyes, staring at those Eight Banner Masters, these are the real Eight Banners soldiers, and they are also the Eight Banners of Manchuria!
These Manchurian lords are amazing!
The bones in their hands weigh dozens of pounds, and the Ming army is definitely not their opponent! Under their gaze, the figures of those Manchurian soldiers disappeared into the snow.
For Longtal, who rushed to the front, at this time he felt as if he had returned to the white mountains and black water again, in the thick snow in winter, cautiously approaching the sika deer in the mountains and forests, no, it was a wild boar, a tiger, and Batu of the Great Qing Kingdom was a tiger, how could he go to fight deer, rabbits and other small things?
In this way, he cautiously approached the long trench of the Ming army in the snow, and finally, as the distance got closer and closer, he could even hear the sound of digging and heavy panting from the long trench dug by the Ming army in this silent night.
Through the light of the snow, you can vaguely see that the Ming army is throwing the excavated soil on both sides of the trench from time to time, and Lontar is staring at the trench like that.
No matter what kind of Ming army the Ming army in the trench is, to Longtar, it is just a group of dead people!
For so many years, there were not a hundred Han people who died in his hands, but eighty, and those Han people were just a group of wastes kneeling on the ground waiting to die!
It's finally close!
Lontar gestured casually, and the hundred armored soldiers behind him, as if they were hunting in the mountains and forests, quietly approached the long trench, they did not have a trace of nervousness, and their movements were very light, but they raised their javelins and calmly lined up. It was as if the Ming army in the long trench ahead did not exist.
If there are people who are familiar with the Jurchens here, they will definitely be able to see that the gun array they put forward is actually the formation of the Jurchens hunting collectively, everyone is holding javelins, just looking ahead with a blank face, as if they were staring at their prey in the past.
They were all half-squatting, their eyes were fixed on the long trench, staring at the soil that was lifted out of the trench from time to time, which allowed them to vaguely guess the location of the Ming army in the trench.
It's in the silence.
Lontar, who had been kneeling on the ground, held his breath, his eyes fixed on a spot in the long trench, as if he had hunted in the mountains in the past, and then slowly stood up.
Raised the javelin with his right hand, raised his left arm at the same time, leaned back, and made a javelin throwing motion, he did not let out a roar, but jerked his body forward, and waved his right arm upwards at the same time, and the javelin immediately took off his hand, drawing an arc in the air, piercing through the night and the snowflakes blown by the wind, and then impartially, he was stuck in the long trench, and at the same time, the people behind him also threw the javelin with all their might, and for a while, the spear rained!
The rain-like spear flew into the long trench more than ten zhang away in an instant, and the power of the javelin is definitely not comparable to the bow and arrow, even if it is a warrior wearing armor, he can't bear the javelin falling from the sky, and the sharp spear head will pierce the body!
And the sappers who were digging the trenches were not wearing armor at all, and who would wear that thing when it was physically work?
Because of this, when Zhao Youshui was digging the soil in front of him with all his might, he heard the screams of the brothers coming from behind.
When he looked back, he saw that the brother beside him had been impaled by a javelin flying from nowhere, and the brother who had been digging hard to dig the earth did not even move before he snorted and fell headlong.
Where did these javelins fly from?
Zhao Youshui's heart suddenly had this kind of doubt, but the instinct to survive made him cling to the dirt wall with good traffic on the side.
The javelins that fell from the sky with his puzzled kung fu were all pierced into the bodies of the brothers behind him as if they had eyes.
"Enemy attack!"
The scene in front of her made her realize what was happening, and Zhao Youshui immediately shouted loudly.
But it was too late by this time, and one after another javelins fell from the sky, and one after another the brothers were pierced through their bodies by the javelins that fell from the sky before his eyes.
The javelins that fell from the sky were like nails, and they easily pierced the bodies of the brothers, and those who were pierced through were nailed to the ground like nails.
"Help me, save me......"
Zhao Youshui, who was leaning against the earth wall, saw that Lian's comrades-in-arms were nailed there and stretched out his hand, stretching out to himself, trying to ask for help from himself, even in the dark, he could still see that the corners of his mouth were constantly bleeding, and the scarlet blood gushed out clumps of blood bubbles at the corners of his lips, and his hands slowly stopped moving......
