Text Chapter 304 Cowardice before fighting

"Our air force is coming, brethren, cheer and cheer."

In ancient times, the air quality was good and the visibility was high, even if it was still a few miles away, Liu Renyu could see the frightened faces of the officers and soldiers of the Blue Banner Mang Gurtai Department on the opposite side after the hot air balloon appeared, and he knew that the Jiannu on the opposite side was slightly frightened, so he ordered his soldiers to roar loudly and shout, and then fall into the military might of Jiannu.

"The heavenly soldiers are coming, and the heavenly soldiers sent by the heavens are coming."

The Jingbian Fort Army did not look back at the sky, this discipline did not allow it, but they all celebrated the first division of their own air force in their own way.

The sword and shield men slapped their shields with their thick-backed swords, the pikemen slammed their spears to the ground, and the archers and musketeers had delicate weapons in their hands, and they could only shout at the top of their throats.

The Jingbianbao army was full of momentum, and the soldiers of Zhenglan Banner Jiannu became more and more uneasy.

"Lord Belle, the enemy army has such a sharp weapon, our army can't restrain it, if that thing flies to Lord Belle's head and throws 10,000 enemies, you will be in danger, according to the meaning of the minions, it is better to retreat first, I don't think they dare to chase." Tunbulu felt that the hot air balloon was too terrifying, so he advised his side to retreat first.

"Withdraw a fart, not to mention that Lao Tzu is known as the first fierce general of Zhushen, he has not released a single arrow, and he has withdrawn from the army without a battle, wouldn't it make the soldiers and horses of the Southern Dynasty laugh at him, Lao Tzu will go back, and he will be laughed at by his own family. You can afford to lose this face, but Lao Tzu can't afford to lose it.

Besides, if you don't take the military order, you will withdraw without permission, and if you go back, how will the Great Khan explain it. How the Great Khan treats me, don't you know? You said that flying in the sky can throw thousands of enemies, what is the use of Lao Tzu when he has legs, doesn't Lao Tzu know how to run? Mang Gurtai rejected his men's suggestion in one bite.

"Lord Belle, in an ordinary battle, our army can not be afraid, but that thing flies in the sky, our army is afraid, and the fighting spirit and fighting spirit are weakened a lot because of fear, this battle should not be fought again, if Lord Belle is unwilling to ask the Great Khan to withdraw the army, the slave will go and ask for his life. The soldiers of our Zhenglan Banner are all men who dare to fight and fight, and they are naturally not afraid of ordinary battles, but the enemy's weapons are too sharp, and we can't die in vain. Tunbulu said.

When Mang Gurtai heard this, he was silent, neither agreeing nor denying.

Tunbulu will know.

"Gang'an, go and ask the Great Khan for his life, and say that the weapons of the Southern Dynasty are sharp, and our army has no way to crack it, so I ask to withdraw the army." Tunbulu said to his own guard.

"Pierce." As soon as he was ordered, he rode his horse and galloped away.

"Whether to retreat or not, we have to wait until the will of the Great Khan is given, now let's fight for a while." Mang Gurtai didn't care about the Southern Dynasty artifacts flying in the sky, and first thought about how to fight this battle.

In the Jingbian Fort Chinese army, Liu Renyu gathered all the generals to make the final arrangements.

"Gentlemen, do you know that the edge of the sword is sharpened?" Liu Renyu said.

"Yes." The generals replied.

"Melee combat is the only criterion to test whether an army is a strong army, although we have artillery, but I mean, the role of artillery is only to block the enemy's possible reinforcements, we are opposite the 3,000 people, I mean, let's use firearms, broadswords, spears, bows and arrows, and they fight in close combat, they don't boast of being invincible in the field, let's use melee combat to defeat them, let them know that there are people in China! In this way, the victory of our army will be convincing. Do you see what I mean? Liu Renyu asked.

"Understood." The generals replied.

"Very good, we can avoid casualties with artillery, and we can quickly defeat the enemy, but we will eventually encounter a time when we can't use artillery, or when it rains, we can't use firearms and 10,000 enemies, and then firearms can't be used, so we can only rely on courage, technology and perseverance to fight. Today, we happened to meet Jiannu with strong melee ability, why don't we test our training effect, and by the way, practice a soldier, this is the purpose of saying that I don't need to bombard the enemy army without artillery for the time being, can you understand? Liu Renyu said.

"Understood."

The generals replied sonorously and forcefully, and this time they really understood.

"Very good," Liu Renyu smiled slightly, and replied: "Give Ke Zhihong a flag, let him not throw bombs at will, pay close attention to the surroundings, see if there are any Jiannu artillery, if there is, let him concentrate on dealing with Jiannu artillery, if not, continue to monitor, no orders, no unauthorized action." ”

"Yes," Li Jiye received the order, so he ordered his subordinates to pass the order.

"Alright, gentlemen, the last meeting in front of the station is over, and I will ask you to act according to the plan later." Liu Renyu instructed.

"Yes, General."

When the generals were given the order, they dispersed and returned to their own towns, and commanded them.

Mang Gurtai originally wanted to take advantage of the unstable foothold of the Jingbian Fort Army to rush at them for a while, but this matter was shelved after he saw the equipment and military appearance of the Jingbian Fort Army, and by the time he saw the hot air balloon, it had been completely forgotten.

Now Mang Gurtai is no longer thinking about raids, outflanking, pursuits and the like, what he wants to think about now is in case there is a cannon in Liu Renyu's chariot, and the thing flying in the sky throws bombs everywhere on his army formation, or simply flies to the artillery of the forehead Tong to drop bombs.

Dakin's artillery and his Blue Banner soldiers are in danger, and he is now thinking about whether to withdraw his troops first.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look back at the artillery position of Tong Yangxing, only to see that the cannon was already well hidden.

**

The chariot of the Jingbian Fort Army was very heavy, although there were six mules pulling it, it was not very fast, 8 miles away, the Jingbian Fort Army walked for a full 20 minutes before it arrived, at this time, the hot air balloon had also flown over the battlefield, hovering over its own military formation.

The musketeers, sword and shield soldiers, pikemen, and archers in the Jingbian Fort army stood still when they arrived at the predetermined position, and the charioteers on both sides began to move.

The chariot that was originally walking in the front of the two sides of the military formation quickly turned, and the front of the chariot turned to Dalinghe City, and the chariot that was originally walking in the rear of both sides of the military formation turned sideways, the front of the chariot was parallel to the Dalinghe city wall, and the side of the chariot was facing the Mang Gurtai Division.

"Order, go to the splints, poke out the cannon." Liu Renyu said to the herald beside him.

The herald waving the command flag.

The commander standing at the top of the chariot saw the command of the command flag, and ordered his chariot to remove the splint and poke out the cannon.

The Jingbian Fort Army originally had 64 Fran machines, and when they arrived at Daling River, they temporarily asked Zu Dashou to borrow Fran planes and gunners, so that their own cannons, even the Fran machines with tiger squatting guns, had more than 120 people.

As soon as the muzzle of the black hole stretched out, it pointed directly at the Mang Gurtai department, and Mang Gurtai's heart suddenly sank, and his forehead and palms were sweaty.

"Lord Belle, this battle can't be fought. They have so many cannons, we can't beat them, so let's withdraw our troops first. Aibali's face was as white as paper, and he spoke urgently.

"Lord Belle, heroes don't suffer immediate losses, they have cannons, and things flying in the sky, it's not appropriate to fight hard, please keep the seeds of our blue flag." Tunbulu also spoke.

"They have no food on the left and right, so let's retreat, don't engage them, continue to besiege them, and when they run out of food, we will surrender." Tunbulu said urgently.

"The Great Khan has no will, and he retreats without permission, but I am afraid that it will not be good." Mang Gurtai was a little moved.

"Report, Lord Belle, the Great Khan has a will." When Mang Gurtai was hesitating to himself, he went to ask the messenger Gang'an to return.

"Speak." Mang Gurtai asked urgently.

"The Great Khan said that in the past battles with the Ming army, which time had not faced the enemy's guns and artillery, our army still won the battle. You are cowardly before you fight, and you will fall into the prestige of our army, and you must continue to engage in battle, and there must be no mistakes. Gang'an replied with a bitter face.

"Damn, the Great Khan wants to harm me." Mang Gurtai was furious.

"Lord Belle, the matter has come to this point, and we can only fight. You can still remember that in the past, when the old Khan was there, there was a military order, there were few people in Zhushen, the battle was lost, and more than 30% of the manpower was lost, so he should retire the army to protect his vitality. Aibali said.

"Yes." Mang Gurtai was impatient.

"Lord Belle, let's fight them, the casualties are more than thirty percent, our army retreats by itself, and His Majesty the Khan has nothing to say." Tunbulu Road.

"That's it, no matter how much, let's fight them for a while." Mang Gurtai held the tiger gun in his hand and said indignantly.

"Pierce." Tun Bulu, Aiba Li responded.
