Chapter 302 The enemy is not simple
Three days are fleeting, the second day of August in the fourth year of Chongzhen, in the morning, the oriental fish belly is white, there is morning light, the sky is blue, and the white clouds are dotted among them.
This kind of weather should be an excellent time to go out, the summer in the northeast, hot and crisp, hot and spicy, not as humid and steaming as the south, suitable for outdoor activities.
If you have leisure, you can bring three or two friends, find a beautiful lake and river to sit down, fishing, swimming, and pass the time, which is also excellent.
Such weather is naturally suitable for playing, and it is also suitable for battles.
Near the south gate of Dalinghe City, on the open space, 3,000 elite soldiers stood solemnly in turn, their bright silver armor, all over their bodies, nothing was missing, even their faces and necks were covered by heavy armor, only their fingers and eyeballs were exposed.
Their armor shimmered with metallic sheen, and at first glance it was clear that it was extremely well maintained, and the blades were illuminated by the faint orange sunlight, reflecting a dazzling light that pierced the eyes of the man.
3,000 men, with horses and mules, stood upright in the open field, without noise, without noise, only silence, which is the effect of discipline and the basic quality of a strong army.
These 3,000 people, the silent 3,000 people, are full of murderous energy, just like substance.
Such a murderous aura even made Zu Dashou, who was holding a wine glass, feel cold, it was a cold that penetrated into the bone marrow.
"Your soldiers have murderous intent, it's good." Zu Dashou approvingly.
"If you don't want to die yourself, you can only let the enemy die, and if you put it to death, you will have killing intent, and killing intent can increase additional combat power." Liu Renyu smiled, his eyes were calm, and the ancient well was not wavering.
"Very good, this town and the generals will wait for you, and I wish you a victory." Zu Dashou raised his glass.
"Xie Dashuai, all the officials." Liu Renyu also raised a glass.
The generals of the Liao army and the military attachés of Jingbian Fort raised their glasses at the same time.
"You just have to fight, and the back road will be handed over to us." Zu Dashou smiled.
"Xie Dashuai." Liu Renyu also smiled.
"Drink this cup, wait for your triumphant return, and then drink it freely." Zu Dashou said.
"Yes, Dashuai, do it."
Drink it all.
"Let's go."
Liu Renyu gave an order.
The gates of the city were opened, the drums of war were beating, and the auxiliaries who had resisted the horses, the musketeers, the sword and shield men, the pikemen, the archers, the cavalry, and the charioteers, marched out of the city in turn.
In front of the Jingbianbao army, there was also a group of men and horses who walked faster, they were the logistics soldiers under He Ergou, and the task was to take the wooden planks wrapped in iron sheets and put them on the trench to let the Jingbianbao army pass.
After the two trenches were over, He Ergou led his subordinates to guard the outermost trench.
"Ergou, wait for me to come back." Liu Renyu smiled, his smile full of confidence.
"Ergou is here waiting for the general to return triumphantly." He Ergou believed that his general would definitely come back with victory.
"Okay." Liu Renyu agreed.
"Spread the march."
Liu Renyu shouted loudly.
The heralds rode their horses and ran around, giving Liu Renyu's military order.
The Jingbian Fort army immediately dispersed.
The charioteers drove the Tiger heavy chariots and lined up on both sides of the formation, enveloping the army in the middle.
The Jingbian Fort army inside the chariot walked in the front according to the auxiliary soldiers carrying the horses, followed by the musketeers, followed by the sword and shield soldiers, the pikemen again, the archers at the rear, and the cavalry on both sides slowly advanced.
On the field in the south outside the city of Dalinghe, opposite the Jingbian Fort army, Mang Gurtai was ready with his soldiers early in the morning, he took 3,000 people, 100 guards, 1,900 sharp soldiers, and 1,000 rangers.
In this battle, he didn't plan to send Aha soldiers to charge and commit suicide again, to consume the Ming army's sub-medicine bows and arrows, this time he must use his strongest combat power to destroy the withering and decaying, and defeat the Ming army that dared to challenge the Dajin Heavenly Soldiers in one fell swoop, killing them without leaving a single piece of armor.
He wants to take his Dajin warriors to shatter the dreams of the Ming army on the other side in a battle, so that the Ming army can clearly understand the gap between them and the Dajin Heavenly Soldiers, and he wants to break this still somewhat bloody brave army in one fell swoop, and dare to challenge the backbone of the Ming army to Dajin, so that they will be frightened when they mention the Dajin Heavenly Soldiers in the future.
He wants to make the Dajin Heavenly Soldiers a nightmare for this Ming army in Guannai, so that they can return to Guannai to also promote their prestige, Dajin's prestige.
Chickens are also killed with knives.
This is what Mang Gurtai said to his confidants Tunbulu and Aibali.
The soldiers he brought this time were all bannermen, and in addition to the regular main force, there was also the strongest soldier Bayala.
"Maybe you don't need to make a move, and Ben Belle can end the fight." Manggultai looked at the camouflaged artillery position three miles behind him, and smiled proudly.
"What Lord Belle said is that the soldiers who can fight in the Southern Dynasty are just the Guanning Army, and there are only a few miscellaneous soldiers in the Guannei, and they still need to use the Heavenly Blessing to cheer the general, and the Great Khan is too underestimated to look down on our Blue Banner." Tunbulu Road.
"This time the Great Khan is good, usually our Zhenglan Banner is not charging in front, retreating in the rear, and the casualties are heavy and will not be supplemented, no, we still have dozens of guards in the hands of Ah Shan, and now we are going to fight a big war, and I don't see Ah Shan return those people." At this time, Aibali complained.
"Don't say more, the enemy is now, retreat from the enemy first."
Although Mang Gurtai didn't think that Liu Renyu's subordinates would be any strong opponents, saying this could stop Ai Bali's mouth.
Sure enough, Aibali and Tunbulu both stopped talking, and then, the gate of Dalinghe City opened, and a Ming army team walked out.
They are coming out of the blue flag of today's opponents.
From the first time he saw this Ming army, Mang Gurtai felt that this Ming army was very strange, and it was not like the Ming army he had seen in the past.
"Is this the Ming Army? Is this still our common Ming army? What's that, visor! They're actually equipped with visors! Aibali exclaimed.
"Lord Belle, this Ming army seems to be different from our usual ones, the Ming army we have seen before in the Guannai is all decayed and the armor is worn, and the armor on this Ming army has at least two layers." Tunbulu is an old general who has fought in old battles, and as the Jingbianbao army got closer, he saw some clues.
"Chariots, they still have chariots, shamans are on top, since the destruction of the Qi family's army, I haven't seen chariots again, I don't know if there are any artillery in their chariots?" Aiba said.
Equipment is also important or not important for an army, and the most important thing for an army is strict discipline and the will to fight to the death.
In these two points, when the Jingbian Fort army changed from a slender snake formation to a thick snake formation, the busy and chaotic actions of the officers and men showed that Jingbian Fort was bound by military orders and discipline.
This alone made Mang Gurtai's face extremely serious.
"This Ming army doesn't seem to be simple, no wonder they dare to ask us to fight."
Aibali and Tunbulu could no longer hear the slightest arrogance from Mang Gultai's words, and instead they were dignified.
"This road Ming army is accompanied by chariots, I don't know if there are artillery, if there are artillery, our army will be bombarded by artillery, but I am afraid of huge casualties. Even if they don't have cannons, just look at their armor, and even cover the front door, when our army is dead and fighting, I don't know if the bows and arrows placed by the sharp soldiers can kill them. Aibali also put away her contempt and worried.
"Seeing that their armor is so good, you can know that the firearms in their hands will definitely not be bad, and I don't know if our dead soldiers can break through their firearms phalanx." Tunbulu was also worried.
"What are you doing, you actually just looked at the equipment of the Ming army and were cowardly before fighting, you look like this, how to be the commander of my blue banner, when my father Khan was in the past, how weak my Dajin was, how many famous generals were strong in the Southern Dynasty, and I Dajin was not afraid of the Southern Dynasty.
Now that my Dajin has become a climate, my soldiers' combat power is the best in the world, and we still have the help of the God Blessing General Cannon, you have something to worry about. Mang Gurtai saw that his two generals actually showed a slight fear, so he spoke out to encourage him.
"What Lord Belle said is that we are too worried." Tunbulu and Aibali turned pale, gathered their minds, and concentrated on the battle.
"When the soldiers and horses of the Southern Dynasty march to the front of our army on this road, and set up a military formation, there is no cannon on the chariot, but it is used as a refusal to use the horse, so we will engage it according to the usual method of war, and if the other army is defeated, chase it to 5 miles below the city and retreat, so as not to be killed or injured by the cannons on the city.
If there are cannons on their chariots, we should ask the Great Khan to retreat quickly, and let the foreheads fight with them, and then the small chariots will certainly not be able to accommodate the cannons of the red-coated cannons. After the forehead destroys the chariot of the Southern Dynasty and disperses the enemy array, our army can take advantage of the situation to cover and kill. You can hear it clearly. Mang Gurtai said in a deep voice.
"Pierce." Tunbulu and Aiba replied.
