For this kind of special combat means, Mao Wenlong also has no special good methods, there are not many means that can be used in the plains, and his own surprise attacks and surprise tactics cannot be used here at all, Mao Wenlong is also a little depressed, so he has to let the soldiers not enter the plains too deep for the time being, and conduct a tug-of-war with the other party in the area where the mountains and plains meet, slowly familiarize themselves with the enemy's fighting methods, and explore how to crack the enemy's fighting methods in the battle.

Among the three major subordinates, Kong Youde's subordinates suffered the least losses, because Kong Youde's troops were the vanguard in front, and this time he did not win Geng Zhongming and Shang Kexi, but because of this, his troops did not suffer losses. Kong Youde didn't dare to laugh at the two, after all, they were both his brothers, and he thought that even if he encountered this situation, there would not be too many ways, and he would suffer a lot of losses.

Learning to fight in battle is an important idea for Mao Wenlong to teach Zhu Youxiao's teachings to the three major thugs. In addition to carefully learning about the battle from Shang Kexi and Geng Zhongming, Kong Youde also gathered the local indigenous people and asked them about the living habits of this area, hoping to find a way to crack the enemy's battle in these details. At this point, Kong Youde has done a better job than Shang Kexi and Geng Zhongming, after all, Kong Youde is much more literate than the two of them.

Kong Youde in history claimed to be a descendant of Confucius, but because he rebelled against the Ming Dynasty and surrendered to the Houjin, he was not recognized by the Kong family of Qufu, but what he said must have a certain basis, not to mention that many people in Kanto migrated from Shandong, so Kong Youde still has a very deep cultural foundation and his brain is also very active.

Kong's efforts were not in vain, and it was confirmed by a large number of locals that the wolves released from the castle were not wolves at all, but domesticated native dogs--- Laika the West Siberian dog, which was first used to hunt large animals such as reindeer, elk and bears, and they were equivalent to a sled dog, because they could drag heavy objects, they could also be trained to hunt small animals, such as minks or birds. The Lycra is a medium-sized dog, strong and neat, well-defined, with a well-developed bone structure, but not coarse, and well-developed muscles.

Understand that it is a dog and not a wolf, at least let the soldiers accept it psychologically, after all, the difference between the two is still very big, driving dogs to bite people, ordinary children can do it, but people who can drive wolves have to be immortals to do. When the soldiers understand that the enemy has just driven away a pack of dogs, at least the psychological burden is gone, and the only thing is how to solve the problem. If you don't go to the battlefield, you can't experience a specific feeling, and only on the battlefield can you make a decision on the spot, and the specific situation can be analyzed and solved on a case-by-case basis, which requires quite good judgment ability.

Kong Youde and his subordinates jointly studied several plans, and went to test them with Mao Wenlong's consent. First of all, it can't be all cavalry, so the mobility is good, but the firepower is too poor when defending, and secondly, it must be equipped with enough machine guns and mortars to cut off the enemy's ranks, and as for the siege, there must be infantry guns to blow up the castle gates. After making full preparations, Kong Youde took 3,000 men and horses to a small village fort that had been reconnoitred to conduct experiments, almost with the advantage of killing chickens with knives, to see how effective it was.

This is a small village fort with a population of only more than 1,000 people, Kong Youde ordered all the soldiers to concentrate on the south side of the fort gate, because in this area the sunshine hours are relatively long, the sun is relatively low, when the enemy stationed in the city looks south, the sunlight in the sky will obviously affect the line of sight, and standing on the south side is relatively very good and will not affect the line of sight. This is also a kind of combat skill, it can be seen that Kong Youde is very meticulous and careful in arranging the battle plan, if this is not possible, Kong Youde will also lose confidence.

As expected, when Kong Youde's soldiers entered the range of half a mile, the Cossack soldiers in the city opened the fort gate, and the soldiers quickly lined up on both sides of the fort gate, and then hundreds of Laika dogs came out of the fort gate, and under the command of the Cossack soldiers, they pounced on the Ming soldiers, trying to repeat the story that Shang Kexi encountered.

However, this time Kong Youde had already prepared, the troops in front were not real cavalry, this was a team of infantry cavalry, and the infantry cavalry was to march and ride horses in peacetime, and dismount to fight when fighting, similar to the combat method of dragoons in Europe. After dismounting, the infantry cavalry arranged the shooting position in a very short time, in front of which were two rows of wooden shields to prevent the Laika dog from suddenly attacking and biting the soldiers, and the shield soldiers were holding shields in their left hands and daggers in their right hands. The soldiers slightly offset the shield to the left, luring the Laika dog to pounce on the shield, when the Laika dog pounces on the shield, the dagger in the right hand directly cuts its mouth, and the neat soldier can cut off the front half of the dog's mouth at once, but not the head, because the dog's head is the hardest part, and the dog's nose bone is the most vulnerable place, so start from there, which is obtained after countless trials.

After the strafing of the machine guns and the shooting of the soldiers in the back row, in fact, there were not many Laika dogs that could attack the shield soldiers in the front row, and they were solved by the soldiers very easily, and the battle process was not too intense, and it was not as troublesome as imagined. The Cossack soldiers who followed the attack behind the Laika dogs did not expect that this tactic would fail, they had already launched their horses and began to charge behind, but in the face of intensive machine-gun bullets and mortar bombardment, they immediately suffered heavy casualties, and the soldiers fell off their horses like dumplings.

The Laika dog assault failed, the cavalry charge was a fiasco, more than a thousand Cossack soldiers lost more than half of their efforts in a while, and the remaining soldiers saw that the situation was not good, so they tried to get out of the battle and drill back into the village fort, intending to resist with the strong village fort, after all, the side defending the city still had a certain advantage, at least it could be condescending.

Kong Youde saw it really in the telescope, of course, he would not put the enemy back into the village fort, and after solving the assault of the Laika dogs, he would break the ranks of the Cossack cavalry, and then order the infantry guns, mortars and machine guns to quickly block the castle gate, and the soldiers who tried to enter the fort through the gate immediately became a sieve, and the dense fire would not give them a chance to enter the fort gate at all, only a few more clever Cossack soldiers quickly fled to both sides, and then escaped from the fort gate on the east and west sides. This can be regarded as a mistake by Kong Youde, this battle was fought a little cautiously, I didn't expect this tactic to have such a good effect, so that there were a few soldiers sent to observe on both sides, the enemy was cavalry, and the speed of escape was too fast, and in the end more than 300 people fled into the village fort.

Losing the suddenness of the Laika dog's attack, the only thing the Cossack soldiers could do after escaping into the village fort was to use artillery to assist in defending the city, but the city defense cannon needed a battery after all, and it could not shoot moving, not to mention its slow firing speed, and the general direction of attack was relatively single. After a short period of temptation, it was determined that the enemy had no Laika dogs to attack, and after judging the approximate location of the enemy's battery, Mao Wenlong ordered the mortars to start acting, every five mortars as a group, quickly scattered around the small village fort, avoiding the area of the city defense gun, entering the shooting corner, and then began to bombard their batteries, the flexibility of the mortar was fully exerted at this time, without complex positions, only a simple and solid ground. The effect of such mobile artillery fire attacking the enemy's fixed positions is certainly not ordinarily good.

Mortars are firing non-stop, although the enemy's batteries have a certain ability to resist strikes, but they can't help but keep bombing, even if the artillery is strong, the soldiers can't stand it, the casualties are not necessarily too much, the number of bombardments is more, the ears of the soldiers can't stand it, and the most unfortunate thing is that occasionally * falls on the ammunition, causing a strong secondary explosion, completely destroying their will.

When the mortar destroyed all the garrison guns of the village fort, the south gate of the village fort was also blown open by the infantry artillery under the command of Kong Youde, under the suppression of the soldiers on the fort wall by mortar and machine gun fire, the charging soldiers quickly entered the small village fort, the victory was no suspense, the scattered Cossack soldiers were not opponents at all, and the cavalry that lost their speed allowed the Donhippo to be vigorous again, it could only be a big dish, and the Ming army ravaged it.
