Fang Liandong is one of the battalion officers of the "Red Banner Army", and he has the imperial court rank of general from the second rank of Jizhen, which is two levels lower than the level of fierce tiger.

Seeing that the fierce tiger, the civil official Wang Zhaokun, and the eunuch Wang Xizhong did not agree to kill the enemy in the following battle under the Guancheng, he had to patiently explain:

"Ladies and gentlemen, this officer led the infantry to line up against the wall to kill the enemy, and there is no conflict with you holding the fortress.

This official promises to fight to the death until the battle is killed when the array is broken through by the Qing army, and will not ask you to switch and let us enter the city to hide. ”

Wang Zhaokun, who hated Jiannu, was already desperate to follow the general of the conquest to make meritorious achievements, and of course he refused to risk Fang Liandong to go out and kill the enemy at this time.

Seeing that Fang Liandong said that he would rather fight to the death than ask to retreat to the city, he persuaded:

"General Fang's loyalty and courage are commendable and he is a model for my generation, but this officer has heard General Yang say with his own ears that the 'Red Flag Army' and its attention to the safety of soldiers will prevent any unnecessary casualties.

This officer believes that it is very important to hold the Ningwu Pass, and it is really unnecessary to go out of the pass to line up to resist the enemy and increase casualties. ”

Meng Ruhu felt that the words of the Imperial History of the Patrol Pass made sense, and nodded: "As long as you hold on to Ningwu Pass, you can block the Qing army from reinforcing Shuozhou City, which is to contribute to the capture of Shuozhou by the general, and there is really no need for General Fang to take risks." ”

Fang Liandong said sincerely: "This official is really targeted, and there is no military adventure.

At the head of Ningwu Pass, there were 40 small cannons of the Furlong machine brought by our 'Red Banner Army', as well as more than 20 large and small artillery pieces that were originally deployed for defense, and more than 40 guns were raised. ”

This is the truth, and Meng Ruhu asked: "How is Fang Shen going to make the firepower advantage fully manifested?" The official would like to hear about it. ”

Fang Liandong said with confidence on his face: "This official personally led the gunners out of the pass with their backs to the city wall in formation, and between thirty and twenty steps away from the wall, you can use a wheelbarrow to load sand and gravel, and tie a spear to combine a triple obstacle.

In front of the thousands of gunners was a wheelbarrow formation that could block the advance of enemy horsemen, and behind it was a fortified wall.

The front of the battle is only two miles wide, even if tens of thousands of Qing soldiers and horses come, what will they do? They couldn't rush up again, so they could only choose to attack in batches and dispatch five or six thousand men and horses to the sky at one time.

Outside the city, the officers and men of our 'Red Banner Army' lined up in a three-stage salvo, and with the firepower of the city's artillery and the city's guns, they could pour two or three thousand projectiles at a time, which was enough to form a firepower network.

The Qing army who was tempted to come is unknown, so how many will be killed on the spot? ”

Fierce as a tiger understood, he scratched his head and said, "It sounds quite reasonable!" When the Qing army saw that there was a Ming army under the wall, they would definitely not let it go, and rushed up to fight nine times out of ten.

There were three rows of wheelbarrows with spears high enough to stop the galloping cavalry, and as they approached, they were shelled and fired at an unknown number of corpses. ”

Fang Liandong smiled evilly: "The cavalry in the hands of this official has been used intensively, and now there is only one hundred scouts."

If there is a thousand cavalry, this official will also take advantage of the fact that the Qing army was beaten and fled one after another, rushing to kill three miles to expand the results of the battle, at least he can cut down the injured Tartars and Jiannu who can't run fast.

When the Qing cavalry was found to be killed, our cavalry immediately turned back and retreated to their own position, and then the city's artillery continued to bombard his mother's, I don't know how to crack the Qing army? ”

There are more than 2,000 cavalry under the command of the fierce tiger, and at this time he came to the strength, and hurriedly discussed with Fang Liandong how to arrange the formation, and put aside the patrol imperial history, the eunuchs of the supervising army and many civil and military generals.

Wang Zhaokun and Wang Xizhong were not angry, they smiled and listened to Fang Liandong and Fierce Tiger perfecting the plan, listening, listening to the absolute advantages outweighed the disadvantages, and they couldn't help but be moved, and their mood to kill the enemy was also very urgent.

Even if you succeed in holding Ningwu Pass, you will definitely not get the head of the Qing army, but if you use Fang Liandong to abide by the law, the head of Jiannu and Tartar killed under the wall is indispensable.

Ning Wuguan and Wenwu were all persuaded by Fang Liandong, and immediately prepared in full swing.

Where would Emperor Chongde of the Manchu Qing Dynasty think that if people start to be unlucky and drink cold water, they will stuff their teeth, and when he led his men and horses to try to break through the Ningwu Pass, he found something strange, and the Ming army guarding the pass actually came out to meet the battle.

If he looked closely, he couldn't help but feel numb on his scalp, because he saw those wheelbarrows and bright spear heads, saw the red flag display, and saw the three rows of three or four thousand "red flag troops" with bright armor and armor lined up close to the wall.

This was the first time that the Nu Chieftain had seen the "Red Banner Army" in formation, and he couldn't help but look carefully at it with a clairvoyant mirror, which was distributed to all officers in the "Red Banner Army", and the scouts were basically one each.

However, it is still a rarity in the Jiannu army, with a total of no more than twenty, and there are only eight in the team where the slave chief is located, and they are all used to watch the formation of Fang Liandong at this time.

The more than 2,000 cavalry, who were as fierce as a tiger, did not assemble outside the city, but were ready to go in the city, because there were 3,600 regular soldiers of the "Red Banner Army" and the guards in front of them, and the three columns were already a little crowded, and the cavalry came out and had no place to stand.

A column of 1,000 people is two miles, and the front of the city is built according to the danger, which is more than 100 steps in two miles, and it is also beneficial for the "Red Banner Army" to line up in three rows tightly, at least the bullets and rain are more dense when the salvo is fired.

Seeing that the "Red Banner Army" is this posture, if they refuse to retreat in the face of difficulties, they will definitely use their skills to see their own house, and the horses and steps will cooperate to break the formation.

In this way, the cavalry approached quickly, then dismounted and lined up, and the well-trained horses found their master dismounted and returned on their own.

At this time, the Jiannu armor soldiers all held leather shields in their hands, and some Bayala who was stronger than ordinary people even held iron shields, and they trotted forward, pushing to obstacles such as deer barricades and rejecting horses to get close to the enemy and fight.

A part of the cavalry would rush in front of the enemy array, shoot arrows, throw axes, and throw spears, providing the best cooperation to the robes who dismounted and engaged the enemy in foot battle.

The momentum of the two armies meeting is very important, since the old slave seven hated against the Ming army, the Ming army has been imposing, where have you seen the Ming army that dares to line up outside the city and calmly in the face of thousands of troops?

The slave chief was not stupid, and knew in his heart that the main general of the "Red Banner Army" would not dare to make this risky move if he was not sure.

At this moment, he really hesitated, because he couldn't think of any future moves for the Ming army?

The veteran Shumulu Yanguli also saw the posture of the Ming army clearly, and also saw that it was difficult for the master to decide, and the critical moment was the time for heroes to perform!

He shouted for battle, and his voice was loud enough that the civil officials and military generals around Chongzhen could hear it.

"Your Majesty, please order the command to lead the men and horses of the headquarters to fight on foot to meet the enemy! This battle will not kill those arrogant 'Red Banner Army' under Ningwu Pass, and will never look back. ”

The veteran made a top move, and the red guy was very satisfied with Yanguli's attitude.
