Nothing was said all night.

When the color was just bright, in the camps of the two sides not far away, there were all voices of people and the neighing of war horses, which seemed to be extremely lively.

However, this excitement is not to rush to the market, but a series of preparations before the big war.

At three o'clock, the soldiers on both sides were already in full array, looking at each other's military formations with fierce eyes.

Today's mode of fighting is basically different from yesterday's.

Yue Tuo and Ao Bai discussed for half the night, and finally gave up the method of letting the cavalry charge first, and instead ordered the shield soldiers to protect the infantry soldiers into battle.

This time, Yue Tuo directly dispatched 40,000 infantry troops to fight.

Among the 40,000 infantry troops, about 20,000 were the white-flaged soldiers in the Han army banner that had just been formed.

Most of these soldiers with white flags were composed of the Ming army that had surrendered before, or the young and strong men who had captured and plundered out of the pass.

These traitor soldiers of the Han military banner are not many armor, and most of them are leather armor, and the armament is okay, compared with the officers and soldiers of the Ming border before August of the seventh year of Qi, it is not bad.

They were also armed with a part of firearms.

Among them, the bird gun is considered to be the weapon they use more often, and there are some three-eyed guns and large spears and the like.

Artillery no Sakura

It's not that the Tartars don't have cannons, it's that those cannons are too cumbersome, and Yue Tuo's request for help can't be delayed, so he didn't bring those cannons with him.

In fact, since the wild boar skin was killed by a border general, a blind cat encountered a dead mouse in the battle of Ningyuan two years ago, and the wild boar skin was seriously injured with one shot, and died tragically soon after.

Since then, the importance of all kinds of artillery has entered Huang Taiji's field of vision

In the past two years, he has collected some of the various cannons captured from the Ming Border Army.

However, these artillery fires are either too heavy or too powerful, and the quality is also poor, so they will explode at every turn.

Therefore, in the latter two years, there has also been a debate over whether or not to focus on the development of firearms battalions.

These controversies went on for two years without any result.

However, Huang Taiji thought of a clever trick, which was to form the Eight Banners of the Han Army and let them use these unreliable firearms.

In this way, this big controversy came to an end.

Regarding the formation of the Eight Banners of the Han Army, everyone did not have much opinion.

Anyway, it was those Han army minions who were killed by cannons and muskets, and it didn't matter how many people died.

Even if these minions of the Han Eight Banners are dead, they can still be recruited again!

In this Houjin ruling area, even if he killed millions in the past few years, isn't there still so many?

If it is not enough, these Houjin warriors can go to the Quartet to plunder and come back, and it is a big deal to rush into the territory of the Ming Empire and burn and loot on a large scale.

Anyway, there will be a lot of traitors and minions to serve these noble warriors of their own.

It just so happened that Huang Taiji, a big fat man, wanted to go to the territory of the Ming Empire and plunder some lowly craftsmen to come back, killing two birds with one stone by the way.

Historically, in the Han Rong Kingdom within the Great Wall, there were always a lot of traitors, and there was no need to worry about the Han people to be slaves to their Houjin.

In addition to the 20,000 soldiers of the Eight Banners of Rao Han, there are another 5,000 people, who are the men in armor among the white flags of the Han army, and they are the main force in their battles.

The remaining 15,000 people are made up of ordinary cannon fodder coated minions.

These fifteen thousand cannon fodder minions are really used to carry out a decisive charge, mainly to consume the ammunition of the Ming New Army.

This kind of formal first charge, with the character of Ao Bai and Yue Tuo, of course, will not use the Red Banner Houjin cavalry warriors to enter the school

However, the second wave of attacks, Ao Bai and Yue Tuo, are also ready.

This second wave of attacks is based on the killer weapon of the opponent immediately after the first attack achieves the desired result.

The second wave of the army, once it saw that the attack was going well, pressed on it and attacked with the whole army.

Of course, it was also the remaining tens of thousands of coated minions and cannon fodder who launched the charge first.

The real main force of more than 20,000 Houjin soldiers, all riding on war horses, doing a good job of pressing the formation, and preparing to harvest the soldiers of the new army of the Ming Dynasty at any time.

The 40,000 infantrymen responsible for the first phase of the attack were equipped with many large shields, the front battle formation, and even dozens of large carts covered with cowhides to cover the advance of the Han army flag soldiers in the rear.

The 40,000 army has already raised its shield and lined up, and with the big hand of Yue Tuo, the banner master with the red flag, he suddenly waved forward!

"Knock knock!" ……

The war drums sounded loudly, and after the 40,000 traitor generals and clothed minions screamed in unison, under the leadership of several Han Eight Banner generals, the spears were like forests and the shields were like walls.

These 40,000 traitor slave soldiers, who looked like a large area of black oppression, rushed towards the defense line of the Royal Guard.

Seeing that the Tartars had changed the large array composed of infantry soldiers and began to carry out the first round of fierce attacks, Huang Jingyi sat in the army and his face did not change.

"Huh!"

"The one who sent him to death is coming!"

He sneered, looked at Xiong Di, the commander of the artillery battalion who had been ready to talk not far away, nodded, and waved the order flag in his hand.

He still responded to all changes with the same policy, and ordered the soldiers to use artillery to break through the enemy's shield array and vehicle formation with artillery after the enemy entered the firing range, and then began to fire from the platoon.

There is nothing new in this kind of battle, and in the exercise of the Royal Guard, it is really too much to fight such a battle.

The enemy was too careless in setting up such a battle formation, because they were completely unaware of the true firepower output capabilities of the Royal Guard's firearms brigade.

It seems that Ao Bai and Yue asked them to do this, but in the eyes of the generals of this era, there is nothing wrong with it.

Ordinary generals, in this case, will choose this way.

But in this way, trying to break through the defense line of the Royal Guards Firearms Brigade is simply a dream, and it is almost like sending you to death.

This all-firearms brigade of the first Royal Guard is now the forerunner of the standard line to shoot the party.

The soldiers' favorite is the method that the enemy now uses to attack their own defenses.

Especially when fighting them head-on, when they are queuing up to shoot like this, they are simply cool, and they can't be more refreshing.

"Artillery battalion preparation! Solid shells, ready for a salvo! ”

Xiong Di, the commander of the artillery battalion of the firearms brigade, had cold eyes and loudly gave the order for the shelling.

However, to deal with these shield arrays and shield carts, solid iron bullets are sufficient.

According to His Majesty the Emperor's will, at all times, he should leave himself a hole card instruction, and now the solid bullets are used to fire the thirty ordinary new Franc cannons.

The battle in front of him has these thirty ordinary cannons, which is enough to use.

The remaining thirty super cannons and flowering shells were all temporarily triggered, and they were kept for the real Armageddon between the two sides, and it was not too late to use them.

"Ready! Fire! ”

Xiong Di, the commander of the artillery battalion, saw that the enemy's formation had already entered his own range at this time, and no longer waited, and waved the command flag in his hand downward.

"Boom!"

"Boom!" "Boom!" ……

Not long after these Tartar infantry corps went into battle, they approached more than 200 meters in front of the Guards, and they were immediately attacked by the artillery of the artillery battalion.

The observers and operators of the artillery were specifically targeting the Lierao shield vehicle and the large wooden shield to bomb this time.

In order not to expose their own flowering shells, so as not to scare the Tartars away, the artillerymen now use solid shells.

Because of this year's spring drought, in this arid hilly environment, the ground is solid, which is suitable for the solid bullet to land on the ground to form a ricochet killing power.

One by one, the cannonballs flew into the Tartar army array, and every shell landed, even if the enemy Rao broke a large shield car covered with cowhides, or those soldiers of the Han Eight Banners who would carry a big wooden shield, even people with shields flew up!

And those big iron eggs that were not finished with castration continued to jump on the ground, and then quickly bounced up and flew forward, plowing a bloody alley in the formation of these Han troops with white flags.

But anyone who stands in the way of the cannonballs can only become victims, either dead or glassy

A volley of artillery fired, and those Tartar Han soldiers and clothed minions, who originally looked like neat formations, were beaten into a sieve, and there were blurred gaps of flesh and blood everywhere.

Shields, shields, armor and other protective equipment are like papier-mâché in the face of these extremely fast solid shells, and they do not play any protective role.

Many traitor generals, their hands, feet and limbs, even if they were torn off by shells, some were even broken on the spot!

The internal organs and limbs flew wildly in the crowd, and the flesh and blood were thrown everywhere.

It is ridiculous that Ao Bai and Yue Tuo actually let these Han army flag soldiers and cannon fodder coats be discharged in such a dense formation, which happened to become the live target of the artillery battalion of the Royal Guards Firearms Brigade.

This time, the artillery officers and men can be regarded as refreshing.

Coupled with the warm climate at the turn of spring and summer, after a while, the soldiers were steaming hot on their heads and sweating all over their bodies.

These generals and clothed minions of the Han army with white flags were beaten in fear, and they almost turned their heads and ran away.

However, the Eight Banners of the Tartars were strictly disciplined, and they did not dare to collapse on the spot, so they could only evacuate the formation a little bit to minimize the damage to them from such shells.

As they quickly entered the distance of 200 meters, the infantry musketeers of the Royal Guard, most of whom had lost the cover of their shield carts and large wooden shields, began to fire in a volley.

Rows and rows of musketeers came out of the ranks, stepped forward in turn, and began to shoot in a row.

The soldiers are in Dafa Li City this time, just like shooting at the big school field in the northwest camp of the capital, training to shoot live targets of pigs and sheep.

The neat and orderly three-stage shooting cut the rows of Han soldiers with white flags, as well as those clothed minions who were forced to start charging, like mowing grass.

At this time, the soldiers of the Han Army who had just been formed were so aggrieved in their hearts!

They're a good soldier, right?

Now it seems that even those who came to send him to death have no power to fight back at all.

Even when he was an officer and soldier and a common man in the Ming Empire before, when he fought with his current Tartar master, he was never so helpless.

Seeing that the enemy formation was in front of him, he was stunned and couldn't attack it, so he had to be beaten and sent to death, and he only kept moving forward to die.

These soldiers of the Han Army Banner and those clothed minions are also human beings, and they are also afraid of death, even if they are in the rear of the army, and there are those Houjin masters and masters who are pressing the formation.

Now that they have encountered the massacre of the Royal Guards Firearms Brigade, those survivors are simply scattered and their hearts are cold.

Before they could reach a hundred meters in front of the defense line of the new Ming army, nearly half of them were killed or wounded.

Then, the traitor soldiers and clothed minions who could no longer stand the unilateral slaughter collapsed completely!

These traitor soldiers and clothed minions shouted one by one, regardless of whether they drummed or not, they rushed back in a hurry!

Of course, the result is not much, Yue Tuo and Ao Bai, the offensive launched by the two was beaten by the soldiers of the Royal Guards Brigade.
