The power of five catties of gunpowder was amazing, and because the formation had become oval when the grenade was thrown, most of the more than 500 cavalry were included in the explosion range when it exploded. Directly blew up a person on his back.

Turg was also swept off his horse by the waves of air behind him. Looking at the smoke and dust flying in the sky, I was so angry that I almost vomited blood. When has such a battle been fought since following the cavalry of the Khan. The limbs of men and horses were splashed everywhere. Far from the ground.

One of the shield carts in the infantry formation behind is different from the others, it is a combination of the watchtower and the shield cart. At this time, a young man was holding on to the railing and solemnly looking at the large area of flying gunpowder smoke and dust in front of him, although he couldn't see the situation inside, but he knew very well that the loss would not be small.

"Send two Niu Lu to push the shield cart over to answer, advance slowly, don't rush, don't go out of the shield cart's protection range. In addition, push out the thirty small Francophone cannons that you carried this time. Then bring back the living people or horses," Sakhalian said.

Chen Hu and the others didn't expect the concentrated use of grenades to have such a good effect, and soon the strong north wind blew away the smoke and dust, the army was in a mess, and some war horses were frightened and ran around. Some people were shocked to the point of concussion, holding their heads in pain with their hands, many people were deaf, looking around blankly, and there were many corpses that were blown up and flesh flying.

Turg crawled out from underneath a dead horse. There are countless red balls floating in front of you, and if Li Jingzai is there, he will tell him that you have bleeding under your eyes. Two ears buzzed, and one foot did not obey. He stood up on crutches and shouted around, "Don't mess around, lean over." All stand together. But no one responded, not even he could hear his own voice.

Li Hui looked at the shield cart slowly advancing behind him, and the muzzle of the small Franc cannon exposed in the gap. sighed, but it was a pity that he couldn't rush over to expand the results.

"Let's retreat, there's a Fran cannon over there"

"Let's go, let's go around and scout first, and see if there are any other Jiannu." Chen Hu saw that things were unavoidable, and he would not be stupid enough to use cavalry to carry the Franco cannon. did not drag the mud and water, and decisively ordered a retreat.

An hour later, the army of Jiannu marched to the snowy fields across the Hupiyi River and began to set up camp, and today the spirit was lost, and Sakhalian decisively did not give the order to attack. The two sides faced each other about a kilometer across the river and set up camp.

"Bai Shuai, Wang Shuai. I suggest that today the slopes of the river bank in front of the trenches, the straw bag walls and the watchtowers be drenched with water, and they can be frozen into ice overnight, and when the battle begins tomorrow, if Jiannu has a heavily armored infantry cavalry, the triple armor weighs eighty pounds, and once it falls without the help of others, it will be difficult to get up on its own. ”

Early the next morning, puffs of smoke rose from the camp in Jiannu, after breakfast. Sakhalian and the others boarded the nest car and condescendingly observed the Ming army camp at the Tiger Skin Post on the other side.

"Is the situation on the other side clear?" Sakhalian asked.

"Back to the big marshal, on the opposite side is Youyang Tusi soldiers of 4,000 people, divided into eight battalions. The coach is Bai Zaixiang, the wife of Youyang Tusishu, and the generals are her two sisters Bai Zaiying and Bai Zaiyun, two sons, Ran Tianyun and Ran Tianyu, daughter Ran Tianyi, and uncle Bai Bangming. It was divided into eight battalions, each with five hundred spearmen. All of them are dressed in iron armor. There are some bamboo bows and arrows and a small number of hard crossbows. “

"Bai Zaixiang personally led two battalions of the Chinese army, and his daughter led one battalion of personal soldiers. The rest were left with a battalion each. In addition to the Youyang soldiers, there is also a battalion of Mao soldiers. Seven hundred people in total. The ruler is the king of the garrison. The equipment was very poor, there was no armor, only a spear, a horned bow, fifty arrows, and a waist knife. No cavalry, no firearms. “

"At the junction of the large battalions of the two armies, on the small high ground opposite, a new battalion of soldiers, estimated to be no less than five hundred, may also be part of the cavalry that fought with us yesterday. More than 100 cavalrymen, each with five muskets. And long knives and things that can explode. The specific equipment of the rest is not yet known, and a small number of artillery pieces cannot be ruled out. Scout Captain Bikota said cautiously, Yesterday there was a major accident in the cavalry, it was blown up and hit with muskets, 1,000 people, 643 people were killed, the rest were wounded, and more than 150 people were left who could continue to fight. Horses were badly damaged. Everyone knows that Dashuai is in a bad mood, so they all accompany him to be careful, so as not to make a mistake and be attacked by Dashuai.

"Well, everyone said that there are 5,000 people, and if we can't eat 3,000 people, if we feel difficult, we will transfer troops from Kamutu to attack in front and back. Leave the 2,500 men of the Baiyang Bone Department behind, monitor and block the reinforcements of Fengji Fort, and turn the 2,700 men of the three tribes of the Yalu River to attack them," Sakhalian asked.

The generals were buzzing with each other, and because of the unfavorable departure from yesterday's division, they were all a little uneasy, and they tended to transfer the three departments of the Yalu River back to attack. In the end, Sakhalian agreed, sent scouts to give the order, and the three Yalu River divisions immediately turned around and attacked.

At noon, Li Hui and Chen Hu's cavalry also spotted the large army of Khamtu. I monitor it from afar.

"It's not good, it's divided, it seems that it's going to be attacked from front to back," Li Hui said to Chen Hu.

"Send someone to inform the team leader immediately, otherwise you will suffer a big loss if you are caught off guard." Chen Hu said, and then sent someone to inform the news.

After lunch, the Jiannu column began to cross the ice in addition to the camp and launch an attack on the Ming army, walking in the front row was the elite triple armored heavy infantry wearing red cloth armor, holding long knives and slowly advancing, followed by archers wearing two pieces of armor ready to enter the one hundred and fifty, throwing bows and arrows behind. The Aha slave soldier pushes the shield cart for cover. The Furlong gunners slowly pushed the small Furlong cannon cart through the gap between the shield carts.

Li Yu and several members of the observation team used binoculars to observe the situation of Jiannu, and from time to time recorded it with a pen. This time, they came to experience the combat effectiveness of Jiannu in two tasks, one was to experience the combat effectiveness of Jiannu, and to record their tactics and tactics, as well as equipment, soldiers, ambulance, and baggage. The second is to experiment with the effectiveness of new weapons and new tactics, find out the shortcomings, and put forward suggestions for improvement.

"It's within range of the navy's guns," said Zhang Chengdong, a second-class midshipman and staff officer of the navy.

"Wait, when the shield car crosses the center line, the 32-pounder guns and 24-pounder guns will fire freely, and you can first record the intelligence needed by the navy and the actual use and performance of the naval guns." Li Yu said.

Soon the shield car retreated past the center line of the river, and at this time it was 500 meters away from the forward trenches of Youyang and Mao Bing.

"Fire" Zhang Chengdong ordered, half of the soldiers of the naval gun's gun post had already aimed at the dense shield cart high underground, and after hearing the order, they quickly inserted the red-hot iron drill into the fire door.

With a loud bang, the 32-pound cannon erupted into flames, and a 29.3-pound solid lead ball flew out, and the distance of 500 meters was still within a straight line. In the distance, one of the largest and tallest shield and nest car was hit, and sawdust flew and the gunners and infantry behind the car screamed. Niu Lu Ezhen and several other petty officers, who were standing in the car and commanding, were directly beaten into a piece of flesh and blood. The kinetic energy of the shells of the heavy artillery is very large, bouncing all the way, pulling out a bloody alley directly in the military formation, red swing tooth soldiers, archers, slave soldiers, and even white swing tooth soldiers who press the formation behind, as long as they touch, all of them will be crushed.
