Chapter 342 Blockade

Huang Taiji was talking to his own guards when he suddenly heard explosions coming from the Daling River behind him, and the three hot air balloons that frightened him the most were floating towards him.

"Zu Dashou and Liu Renyu's troops are fighting with my four banners and horses, hurry, let the forehead come here quickly, set up a position, and bombard the Wuxiang military camp. Wu Xiang has always been cowardly, as long as our army gives him a huge blow, his army will be defeated. Wu Xiang's troops were defeated, and the rest of the Ming army will inevitably fluctuate, and our army will take advantage of the situation to attack, and it will be a complete success! Huang Taiji was worried and roared loudly.

"Pierce." When the protector saw that the green tendons on his forehead were exposed, he was obviously in a hurry.

He hurriedly rode his horse and whipped his whip, ran to Tong Yangxing's place, and said urgently: "Elu, the war is urgent, the Great Khan ordered you to rush to the battlefield quickly, set up an artillery formation at the east camp of the Ming army, and hit the Ming army camp. ”

The protector hurriedly passed the order to Tong Yangxing.

When Tong Yangxing received the order, he ordered his men to beat the oxen, horses and mules hauling the artillery, and some soldiers even roasted the tails of the animals with torches to force them to hurry up.

In the blink of an eye, the oxen and horses and mules hauling the heavy artillery were beaten and bruised all over the body, and then the Jin soldiers frequently roasted them with fire, and they had to overdraw their lives and fight towards the battlefield under the pain.

There is no doubt that after transporting artillery, many oxen and horses and mules will die, but Tong's nourishing artillery is getting closer and closer to the battlefield.

Speaking of that Zhang Chun, Song Wei and Wu Xiang heard the sound of artillery firing from the rear of Houjin, and they knew that Zu Dashou's men and horses were getting closer and closer to them, and the hot air balloon rising in the sky made their morale soar even more.

"The army of Mr. Zu is about to be killed, I will wait and fight to the death with all my might." Song Dawei spoke out and boosted morale.

The soldiers agreed with a bang.

"Mr. Zu Town is coming, the sons and daughters hold on, as long as we hold on for a while, we will be able to meet Mr. Zu Town, and this battle can be a complete success." Wu Xiang also lost no time in shouting loudly.

His soldiers also made a loud promise, and their fighting spirit became more and more high.

"The town of Zu is coming, and the morale of our army has risen greatly, and this victory can be counted as seventy percent!" Zhang Chun looked at the hot air balloon flying from the east steadily, full of confidence.

"Attack the Ming army camp again." Huang Taiji didn't want to see the morale of the Ming army continue to rise, so he ordered his subordinates to attack again and suppress the morale of the Ming army with huge casualties.

After the Jin soldiers got the order, they continued to attack the Ming army camp, and the Ming army used artillery, bows and arrows to return fire, for a while, the battlefield lead bullets flew sideways, bows and arrows rained, and the two sides fought inseparably.

*******

Besides, the troops of Nazu Dashou and Liu Renyu burned two blue flag barracks, then gathered their troops and continued to advance to the west.

Three hot air balloons rose high, monitoring every move in front and on both sides, and not long after the army left, Ke Zhihong used the flag to inform Liu Renyu, saying that there was a huge Houjin army and horses blocking the way ahead.

In fact, Ke Zhihong didn't say this news, Liu Renyu had already seen it, and in front of them, Yue Tuo was blocking Jinzhou Avenue with two blue flags and two red flags.

Yue Tuo knew very well that if he only relied on cavalry to fight, he would not be able to stop the Ming army killed in Dalinghe City, so he let the cavalry dismount and become infantry, block Jinzhou Avenue, lay out horses, and sprinkle thistle terrestris, forcing the Ming army to fight, so as to delay time.

Liu Renyu almost laughed out loud when he saw Hou Jinjun's arrangement.

This kind of formation is used to deal with the general Ming army, because the general Ming army does not carry too powerful artillery in the field, and generally carries small Furlong machines and tiger squat cannons, in this case, the Ming army has to fight with the Houjin soldiers on foot.

But Liu Renyu is different, because his Jingbian Fort army is rich in financial resources and equipped with four-wheeled carriages, which can even carry cannons with an effective range of two miles, such as medium-sized Furlong machines, and now the Houjin soldiers dismounted and lined up in an infantry phalanx, he couldn't be too happy.

"Marshal, our soldiers and horses are all wearing three layers of heavy armor, not afraid of Jiannu's bow and arrows, the last general is willing to send our men and horses to dismount and fight, clear the iron thistles and horses laid by Jiannu, at the same time, our artillery will send artillery to bombard Jiannu, and when our army breaks through the Jiannu army formation, please also ask the marshal to quickly lead the troops to sweep the enemy army and expand the results. Then our army can move on and join up with reinforcements. Liu Renyu said confidently to Zu Dashou.

Zu Dabi and other Liao army generals saw that Liu Renyu, an outsider, once again took the initiative to attack, and immediately felt that they were too faceless for these locals.

It is said that protecting the family and defending the country, protecting the family is still in front of defending the country, and these locals in Liaodong are not active in protecting the family, is that still like a word?

So Zu Dabi immediately spoke: "Marshal, the Jingbian Fort army fought bloody battles in the past, and we admired it tightly, but the hard bones can't all be gnawed by Jingbian Fort, and we always eat meat, and the last general will ask to fight." ”

The rest of the Liao generals felt that what Zu Dabi said was very reasonable, so they also spoke enthusiastically, asking to lead troops to fight Jiannu.

Zu Dashou looked at the performance of his sons and daughters with satisfaction, and felt that his face was very bright, so he kindly persuaded Liu Renyu and said: "General Liu, you see that your men and horses often rush to the front, and it is time to take a rest, so let Dabi lead his subordinates to rush forward for a while, how about it?" ”

It's a consultative tone, but it's actually a gentle order.

Liu Renyu didn't have to let his son-in-law go to death, since the Liao army was so warlike now, let them go.

The last general has no objection. It's just that if your army can't open the situation, please ask the marshal to allow our army to attack. Liu Renyu smiled and said the last sentence, secretly using a trick to provoke the general.

Sure enough, when Zu Dabi heard this, he immediately blushed and said: "General Liu said that he was laughing, just a slave, I haven't seen it in my eyes yet, and I don't want to work for your army." ”

After he said this, he carried the Kwantung broom in his hand, ran straight to the five hundred elite soldiers of his headquarters, and said loudly: "The Jingbian Fort army was about to attack, and I took the task over, but people said that if we can't break the Jiannu on the opposite side, they will take over for us." You say, "Can we say yes?" ”

"Hey, the Jingbianbao army is powerful, but you can't look at people in the cracks of the door, and you can look down on us, our Liao army is the strongest army in the Ming Dynasty, how can we not beat Jiannu."

"If you don't ask them to make a move, let's kill it now, and cut off Yue Tuo's head as a night pot."

"We must not agree, our local men in Liaodong can still let outsiders steal the limelight. General, give the order, let's go and cut the slaves now. ”

When the Liao army heard that the Jingbianbao army looked down on them, they couldn't help but be excited, and their fighting spirit became more and more intense.

"Okay, this is Zu's subordinate son, who has wolf nature, follow me Chong, let the people of Shaanxi see what a Liaodong man is." As soon as Zu Dashou's voice fell, he dismounted and took the lead in rushing towards the enemy formation.

"Follow General Zu Er, rush."

The five hundred elites under Zu Dabi's command, like a tiger out of the cage, roared angrily and rushed towards the Houjin army array.

"Zu Er's madman is going to kill him, and he is ready to release arrows." Yue Tuo saw that the Ming army was about to be killed, and ordered with a calm face.

All the Houjin soldiers would release arrows, and when they received this order, they immediately drew their bows and arrows, preparing to inflict great damage on Zu Dabi's troops, but Liu Renyu would not let them do so.

"Give Ke Zhihong an order to prepare to observe the impact point of the artillery and be ready to make corrections at any time." Liu Renyu ordered to the heralds beside him.

"Yes, General." When the herald received the order, he waved the flag and delivered the news to Ke Zhihong.

Ke Zhihong immediately replied to the herald in flag, signaling that he knew.

"Prepare to fire." Liu Renyu said to Li Jiye.

"Yes, General." When Li Jiye received the order, he ordered his artillery to quickly line up the Tiger heavy chariots and chariots.

Then the artillerymen in the vehicle quickly cleared the chamber and filled the fire. medicine, put in the projectile.

When everything was ready, Li Jiye pulled out the Tang knife, slashed it from top to bottom, and ordered loudly: "Let go." ”

When the commanders of each chariot saw Li Jiye's gesture, they shouted to the gunners in the chariot and ordered, "Open the cannon." ”

"Knock, knock, knock, knock......."

The roar of the cannons continued to sound, bringing with them bursts of white smoke.

The lead bullet flew through the air with huge kinetic energy, and smashed heavily in front of the people and horses of the Houjin Institute, only to hit the loess road full of pits and dust. After these lead bullets ran out of kinetic energy, they stayed in front of the Houjin soldiers and never moved again.

All the Houjin soldiers were scared out of a cold sweat, they had no cannons, they couldn't fight back, and the bows and arrows couldn't reach the Ming army, and the cavalry was dispatched, and people were not afraid.
