Chapter 118: Out of the city to fight

Liu Yuliang glanced at Xue Guoguan angrily, he didn't expect that he was actually yin by Xue Guoguan, after all, he was a civilian official who knew what soldiers were, and he didn't even have the ability to talk about soldiers on paper.

And everyone knows what kind of goods the officers and soldiers of the Beijing camp are now, some of them can't even hold knives steadily, and they are enough to defend the city, so how can they be promoted.

But now that the emperor has made an order, Liu Yuliang can only receive the decree.

Xue Guo was naturally very proud when he watched Liu Yuliang take a deflated look.

Liu Yuliang didn't have the heart to fight with Xue Guo at this time, he had to immediately take a group of old, weak, sick and disabled people from Jingying to Yongdingmen to strengthen the defense, after all, now he is the commander of Jingying, once the defense of the capital fails, he will not be able to escape the blame.

Zhu Youzhen also came here, and he decided to see for himself why Lu Yuan's soldiers and horses had the courage to fight against Jiannu.

……

Outside the moat of the capital.

The Jiannu under the command of Gushan Ezhen Mandahai were killing the people one by one and advancing into the moat, causing the entire moat outside the Yongding Gate to be dyed red.

And at this time.

Lu Yuanhe's mighty army also appeared outside the city of Wengcheng, and slowly lowered the drawbridge.

Niu Lu Zhang Jing Wulu saw the mighty army appear outside the city of Wengcheng with the landing flag, sneered for a while, hurriedly stopped killing the people, and retreated back with his own Niu Lu's Jiannu.

"Master, this group of Ming troops surnamed Lu has left the city, and the minions still think that they really want to sit back and watch us kill all these Ming people."

Wu Hai came back and said a word, and then he smiled fiercely, put the bloody knife on his shoulder, and let the blood of the Han family people who remained on the blade fall.

After Lu Yuan arrived in Gyeonggi, the Jiannu Iron Cavalry, who was responsible for testing the reality of the capital, determined through several Bayalas who had fled back that Lu Yuan's mighty army was the Ming army that had completely annihilated their grain troops in Wuqing County a few days ago.

Therefore, this Jiannu iron cavalry will come directly to Yongdingmen.

The commander of this Jiannu Iron Cavalry, Gushan Ezhen Dahai snorted coldly: "If he doesn't go out of the city, this official will let us impeach him in the Ming Court's fine work, and let the civil officials of the Ming Court deal with him!" Now that he is out of the city, he can save trouble, and this official wants to see how powerful this Ming army surnamed Lu is, so that Chang Adai was captured by him! ”

At this time.

The drawbridge was lowered.

In the first game, each platoon crossed the drawbridge first, and immediately raised muskets to form a line of infantry to guard the perimeter.

Mandahai's side also let his iron cavalry retreat to a hundred and fifty paces away.

According to the information provided by Jiannu, who had escaped, Man Dahai already knew that the muskets of the Weiwu army had a long range, so he did not get too close to the Weiwu army.

Even when Wuhai was killing the people, he retreated back in time as soon as he saw the Ming army coming out.

This was followed by the second inning.

In the first game, he continued to move forward, and advanced directly towards the front camp of the Jiannu Iron Cavalry in Mandahai in the form of a mandarin duck formation.

In the second game, after all the suspension bridges were crossed, there was no movement and they stood still.

Meanwhile.

The cavalry company also crossed the drawbridge and responded on the left and right flanks in the first game to prevent the Jiannu rangers from attacking and disturbing the camp in the first game.

However, non-combatants such as baggage teams and medical personnel did not cross the drawbridge, after all, battlefield rescue and logistics replenishment did not need to go to the front line at any time, and let non-combatants be on the side of the drawbridge near the city gate, which also saved the task of separating field troops to protect them.

The surviving civilians were arranged by the propaganda team to cross the drawbridge, but they did not enter the urn city, and only rested temporarily outside the urn city, and the military department and the officials of the Shuntian Prefecture were responsible for managing and giving alms of gruel.

The Quartermaster Department of the mighty army did not do this on behalf of him, after all, gathering the hearts of the people in Beijing would make Zhu Youzhen mistakenly think that Lu Yuan now had the intention of winning the hearts of the people.

And the reason why these people were only outside the urn city and did not enter the urn city was to prevent Jiannu from mixing in, although the gate of the main city had been closed, Lu Yuan didn't want to let Jiannu take the opportunity to know some secrets of his mighty army.

At this time, Shen Guangzu advanced with the first round of three consecutive zigzag arrays.

Although there were only nearly four hundred people in the first game.

But Shen Guangzu was extremely calm, he knew that this battle was fought at the feet of the Great Tomorrow, and if this battle was fought well, the mighty army would be more important to the Son of Heaven.

The grassroots field officers and soldiers in the first game were also extremely calm, after all, they had already fought with Jiannu once, and they had also seen the powerful mobility of the Jiannu cavalry, and it was precisely because they had seen it that they had no pressure at this time.

Wang Tiedan, the spearman of the first company, has transformed into a veteran, and at this time he is walking behind Li Youlai, the sword and shield hand and the commander of the army, with a spear, and reminds Gao Zongqiang, the newly replenished spearman on the side, in a low voice: "Don't hold the spear too back, when the opponent's cavalry charges, remember that the spearhead is slightly erect, and it should be almost to the position of piercing the belly of the horse, so that once the opponent's war horse hits it, it will not let your spear get out of your hand, remember to bury your head, the horse will jump up after hitting the spear, if you don't bow your head, you will be killed, and don't look back, I believe that the brothers with swords and shields and the brothers with muskets, we are only responsible for stabbing the horse and stabbing the man, first stabbing the horse, and then stabbing the horse! ”

Gao Zongqiang listened while holding his breath and looking at the cavalry in front of him, when he was training as a recruit, he had seen the power generated by the cavalry charge, but despite this, he was still a little nervous, because he knew that if there was no firearm to delay most of the cavalry rushing to the front of the camp, once all these cavalry rushed over and hit the boulder, even if he was not afraid of death, he would all be knocked away.

And even if one or two cavalrymen collided, they would cause the sword, shield, or spearman to be shattered, or at worst, to be broken.

But as the brothers of the propaganda team said, in order to defend their homeland and drive out these Jiannu who killed the people of the Han family like mustard, they must make sacrifices, and it is up to God to decide who dies and who lives.

This time, Mandahai brought three Manchurian Jiannu iron horses from Niu Lu, and the rest were Han and Mongolian iron horses.

However, this time, Mandahai did not let the Han and Mongolian Eight Banners go up first like Chang Adai, but directly sent two Manchurian iron cavalry with a total of 600 people from Niulu to march slowly towards the first army of the mighty army in a way that marched left and right.

Man Dahai already knew that the mighty army had sharp weapons and a formation similar to the Qi family's army, so he intended to directly break through its camp with the most elite cavalry first, instead of charging with a large number of cavalry and firing countless arrows like the Mongolian iron cavalry against the Qi family army back then.

In Man Dahai's view, charging with only 600 elite iron cavalry is neither dense nor too sparse, which can not only avoid being killed and injured by a large number of Ming firearms, but also facilitate changing the direction of the charge at any time.

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

In the first game of the mighty army's infantry, the sound of killing was already shocking.

The pace is neat.

The armor is sparkling.

And then.

"Roar!"

"Roar!"

"Roar!"

This Niu Lu Zhang Jing Wu Lu and Niu Lu Zhang Jing Da Tu Lai also took their iron horses and shouted in the sound of conchs.

The war horse slowly accelerated, like the sound of a person's heartbeat slowly accelerating.

Knock knock!

Zhu Youzhen, who was standing on the city wall, looked at the first game of the mighty army that was gradually surrounded by the Jiannu cavalry, and his heart couldn't help but tighten, he didn't know how the officers and troops on his side should deal with it when the Jiannu cavalry charged?

But what Zhu Youzhen didn't expect was that the mighty army took the lead in attacking.
