Chapter 168: Let's Go Up
"Nima's!"
Seeing that more than half of the soldiers of the Han army with white flags were killed and wounded, jumping up and down, and retreating in embarrassment, Yue Tuo was confused this time, "What else can you do like this?" ”
There's really no head-scratching.
Such a powerful new army of the Ming Dynasty, if you want to defeat them, you must first break their musket array.
They have seen muskets and artillery, but they have never seen such powerful musket artillery.
Whether it was a double-barreled musket or a strange cannon, they were much more powerful than they had ever seen before.
Not only is the range long, but also the lethality is great.
In the past, the big wooden shield and the big shield car could basically block the general medium-sized artillery, but now they can't even block a single cannon, and even people with shields will blast you on!
You have to be steady, otherwise you will be sending someone else's head to charge up in such a daze.
"Yue Tuo Banner Master, it seems that if we want to defeat the enemy quickly, it is almost impossible, we have to think long-term."
Namuthai on the side was also frightened just now, so he put away the heart that he still had a little bit of contempt for the enemy before.
The two of them are like this, and Ao Bai, who is standing on Yue Tuo's right hand, is really confused, and he has not come back to his senses until now.
Only then did he realize that Yue Tuo's previous office was not only not exaggerated, but even a little more modest.
And the enemy actually has artillery!
This big news was something that no one expected before.
Obviously, the artillery battalion that did not find the other party before was deliberately hidden by these cunning Ming New Army.
The failure of this attack was mainly due to the fact that the opponent's artillery was too powerful.
Those shield carts and large wooden shields on their own side could not withstand the volley of cannonballs from those cannons.
Now it's a real hard stubble.
This kind of play has never been seen before.
The sharpness of the firearms in the hands of the new army of the Ming Dynasty far exceeded his knowledge of the bird gun musket, and taking people's lives within 200 steps was like picking up something from a bag.
Even if he was wearing heavy armor, he was still knocked to the ground.
Don't mention those cannons, mentioning them makes Quan tremble.
Ao Bai saw the offensive launched by these Han army flags and clothed minions, in front of the new army of the Ming Empire, so unbearable, and suddenly became a little scared.
That's an army of 40,000 clothed minions!
One looks down, and it's not half there!
But if you don't fight, you won't succeed.
Now they have no choice.
After all, this time, the Ming court dispatched a new army to attack the Anshanyi area that it was responsible for defending, and it was impossible to avoid it no matter what.
Unless he and Yue Tuo order a major retreat, they will be withdrawn to Liaoyang City.
However, if you withdraw to Liaoyang City, will you really be able to avoid these new troops of the Ming Empire?
Definitely not.
You must know that the army of the Ming Dynasty that originally confronted you on this front line was about 200,000!
And what is the number of enemies on the opposite side here?
There were only 10,000 regular soldiers and 5,000 auxiliary soldiers.
What he is most worried about now is whether the other 200,000 new troops of the Ming Dynasty will be divided into several ways and attack at the same time!
If it was as I expected, it would have been terrible.
These forward positions are all lost, don't make a huge Houjin, it will become precarious, even the Great Khan Emperor Taiji will not let go of himself.
What's more, even if you want to retreat with a large army now, it is extremely dangerous.
These mysterious and unfathomable Ming New Army will definitely not let their 100,000 army leave so easily.
Once they launch an Ouroboros pursuit, the consequences are ......
However, if you are stuck here and maintain a confrontation with the other party, you will not be proof
If his guess is true, the rest of the armies of the Ming Dynasty have broken through the barriers, and the other passes and fortresses on the original confrontation between the two sides have been broken one by one.
They looked back and realized that this was a golden opportunity to mobilize heavy troops to surround their hundreds of thousands of troops.
Then their 100,000-strong army is probably going to be really lost here.
What these 100,000 soldiers and horses mean to their current Houjinlai, Ao Bai, as a close minister of Huang Taiji, certainly knows better than anyone else.
Although there are only more than 20,000 warriors here, it is also the entire strength of nearly one banner master.
Moreover, the loss of those coated minions is too great, which is also a major blow to today's Houjinlai.
After all, it's no longer than it was last year.
At that time, there were as many clothed minions as you wanted, but now there is one less one who dies.
Once their entire army is wiped out here, then it means that the Houjin that Huang Taiji and they have built up with great difficulty may be destroyed in an instant.
So when Ao Bai thought of this, he broke out in a cold sweat, and immediately suggested that Yue Tuo quickly gather his subordinates to find a way.
"Yue Tuo Banner Master, for the sake of today's plan, let the soldiers clean up the mess first, and then defend it tightly, and then hold the troops still for the time being."
He said worriedly, "We will immediately convene all the Gushan Ezhen, Jiala Ezhen, and Niu Lu Ezhen, and everyone will urgently hold a military meeting to discuss how to break this dead end."
He put his worries on Yue Tuo and Namuthai.
After a while, after a short discussion, Yue Tuo and Ao Bai saw those soldiers of the Ming New Army in the distance opposite, and now they were just busy working on their own.
They were seizing the time to clean up the battlefield that had just ended the war, especially the war horses scattered on the battlefield, and they did not take the initiative to attack their own side for the time being.
Suddenly, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief.
Immediately jointly ordered that the new army of the Ming Dynasty was cleaning up the battlefield, and no one should provoke them for the time being, and on their own side, they should do a good job in defense and the aftermath of the big war
Then, he ordered all the Houjin generals who had been brought in, as well as those Han Eight Banner generals who had just survived the battlefield and were in shock, to be summoned to the two of the Chinese army's big tent.
Immediately, the two of them were not verbose, and went straight to the gang to ask for advice.
These Han Eight Banner generals, who had just been beaten to the ground, were still pale.
These guys can't do anything else, intrigue and come up with a few insidious schemes to trap their teammates, but it's still not a problem.
It's just that until now, the hearts and minds of these traitors and minions are still jumping straight "plopping and plopping", and they are all a little confused at this time, how can it be so simple to come up with a countermeasure to break the enemy's battle formation.
The people on the scene had never encountered such a fighting style as the Ming New Army before, and no one had ever encountered such a strong firepower army.
Everyone discussed it for a while, but they still had no clue.
Later, some Tartar generals proposed that the Eight Banners of the Han Army were the best at foot combat, and this matter should be made for the soldiers of the Eight Banners of the Han Army to be colonels
Anyway, there are still sixty or seventy thousand clothed minions here, and in a short period of time, there is no problem in selecting some strong people to make up for the battle damage of the Han army with the white flag just now.
And when the generals of the Han army heard this, they immediately scolded in their hearts one by one:
How do you know that Lao Tzu and these people are good at foot combat?
If Lao Tzu is good at foot combat, can he still be caught by you and used as a dog's leg for you?
But these words can only be scolded in their hearts, and they dare not scold them to their faces.
Although reluctantly, there is no way.
These traitor slave generals, when they saw the Tartar generals in all directions, looked at themselves and others with fierce looks, they suddenly shuddered, and could only agree hard.
Since the matter has come to this point, if you go, you will die, and if you don't go, you will die, and they can only fight.
The owner of the white flag in the eight banners of the Han army is called Li Shuitai.
Because of this era, Zhu Youxiao was fooled around a few times, and it completely became unrecognizable.
In history, it would have taken a few years for Huang Taiji to officially form the Eight Banners of the Han Army, but now under the pressure of reality, the Eight Banners of the Han Army were born in advance.
Li Shutai's father, Li Yongfang, still followed the original trajectory and was named the banner master of the Han Army's Zhenglan Banner by Huang Taiji.
And his second son, Li Shutai, was deeply liked by Huang Taiji, and he was just in his early twenties this year, and he was named the owner of the white flag in the eight banners of the Han Army.
Suddenly, the Li family was highly valued, and the scenery was infinite.
Of course, this infinite scenery is based on the fact that it is necessary to please the Tartar master.
Otherwise, these Tartar soldiers, who have always dressed traitors and slaves, and are not looked down upon by others, will use knives to cut and spare if they get angry.
When the time comes, even the head will be cut off, and that is the most wronged.
Li Shutai was born in Tieling, Liaodong, and was formerly known as Li Yanling.
At the age of twelve, he entered the court to serve the wild boar Pinurhachi, and was given the name Li Shutai.
Five years ago, when Li Shutai was sixteen years old, he was a wild boar and married the daughter of the clan to him as his wife.
Now these generals of the Han army with white flags have just come out of the big tent of the Chinese army, and they are called together by the young and promising Li Shutai.
Everyone discussed intensively for a while, in order to deal with the tasks assigned by those Tartar masters.
It's just that now half of the Han army's soldiers with white flags, as well as the Han army's white flags with nearly 10,000 clothed minions, what way can they break through the enemy's strange position?
Well, even those usually brave Tartar masters have no way to break through the enemy's position, relying on their own scum?
Therefore, when everyone first came up with ideas, they were aiming to reduce their own casualties.
Win against those new imperial armies?
Truth be told, these people didn't think about it at all.
Then, saving one's life and sparing one's life has become a top priority.
Those Tartar lords don't have much patience.
This afternoon, at the latest, they will still use the cannon fodder team composed of the Han army's white flags and clothed minions to consume the enemy's cannonballs and bullets, that's for sure.
It's not that easy to escape this catastrophe.
If these people dare to disobey their orders, the consequences will be unimaginable.
Suddenly, in this big tent of Li Shutai, the atmosphere became solidified.
