Suo Hun has been in battle for a long time, and when he saw the appearance of Zhongwu Village, he knew that it was not easy to fight.

The stockade is built on the mountain bag, there are two or three zhang high, the trench is surrounded by layers, only a twenty steps wide mouth is left on the west gate side to pass, but there are two inward oblique wall guards above and below the mouth, there are quite guns on it, if it is attacked, I am afraid that they will concentrate on firepower to attack.

Especially from the opening, a structure similar to the urn city, if your own side attacks here, throw some ash bottles and rolling wood and stones on it, I am afraid that there will be heavy casualties.

Although there is a gate on the east side, I heard from the vest that the ice has been chiseled there, and the thickness of the ice is different, and it is very dangerous for people and horses to pass. They like to wear indigo shoes to keep them warm in winter, and they are also suitable for walking on ice, but that doesn't mean they can step on dangerous ice.

He looked at the stockade, the armor of the guards was shining in the sun, and they all had iron helmets and iron armor, or were they all white-armored soldiers?

In the Eight Banners, the iron armor is the color of steel itself, only coated with raw lacquer for maintenance, and the armor is exposed to the outside, shining silver. At this time, the armor of the Ming army was mostly inlaid in the cotton layer, and the Ming helmet and Ming armor were rare, and when they saw the original armor in the Eight Banners, they exclaimed as white armor soldiers.

Suo Hun froze, and he quickly saw that the armor of the defenders over there was not as thick as that of Bayala, but it was still strong. What he knew was that only cavalry in the Ming army had armor, and these were obviously foot soldiers, and they also had iron armor.

In particular, they are equipped with red cloaks, which are impressive and different.

He thought for a while and said: "The fortified city is not entered, this place is strong, and it is only a small military fortress, it is better to bypass it, otherwise the sergeants will be killed and wounded, although the victory is useless." ”

The officers behind him also showed a look of approval, a small military fort, and there is no oil and water, it is better to let it go and continue to go south.

Colkun looked at Zhong Wuzhai intently: "Lord Suohun is Niu Lu Zhangjing, it's up to you to fight or not." I'm only worried, you say that you can't enter the fortified city, if the south is such a fortified city, will you fight it? Bypass them one by one? What is my name? Especially when we go south, what if they plunder and cut off my back road? ”

The Niulu officers laughed, and the vests were divided into Shkusina and laughed: "The Korkun warriors are joking, those southern barbarians dare to go out of the city to fight?" If they are in the wilderness, I will kill them without leaving a piece of armor! ”

Colcoin's eyes glared at him, causing his laughter to stop abruptly, and he said in a cold tone, "Don't dare to fight in the field? It was when Tundai and Tong Gar encountered this gang of Nanban and were killed in the wilderness that only two escaped. The day before yesterday, I surrounded and beat more than 30 people with Baya Lawu Zhuketu, and 18 vests were killed, but those southern barbarians did not know how many casualties there were, you said they did not dare to fight in the field? ”

All the Niu Lu officers were in their hearts, Suo Hun was a little hesitant, he knew that Colquin had a haughty temperament and spoke ugly, but he didn't care, but the content of his words was quite thought-provoking, and he said slowly: "What does the Colquin brothers mean?" ”

Colcoin stared at Zhong Wuzhai with a look of eagerness: "How strong are they, they have to try." ”

In fact, deep in Colquin's heart, he felt that the looting was a small matter, and it was more important to understand the combat strength of these Ming troops.

Now there are several voices within the Manchu Qing Dynasty, one is content with the status quo, and feels that every time they enter the customs, they can rob some children's wealth and silk. One feels that he can go one step further and enter the Central Plains, and the most unfortunate is like the previous Dajin, occupying half of the Southern Dynasties.

Colcoin is the second thinker, and there are many young people like him in the Eight Banners, which are very different from those of the older generation.

Especially with the victory of the Qing soldiers again and again, the iron hooves stepped all over the Ming country, and the Ming army was wiped out everywhere, the stronger their thoughts were.

Therefore, it is very important to enter the Central Plains in the future, understand the future enemies, and what strong opponents there will be in the future.

Colcoin always felt that the Xin'an Army was different, and he had a very strong desire to understand, from combat power to intelligence.

Suohun is actually the same kind of person as Colkoin, after all, like gathers like things, but he is more cautious. Deep down, he also wanted to fight, especially when Colcoin had a fatal friendship with him, and his words carried a lot of weight.

And I really made up my mind, the small military village in front of me was not impossible to attack.

How many fortified cities have the Eight Banners conquered, what is the small walled fort in front of you, which is not a fourth-class city?

Besides, Suo Hun didn't have his own support, that is, the shield car.

He touched his short mustache and made up his mind, just try it, and see where the Nanban in front of him is sacred!

And to capture the military village, not to mention the hoarding of materials inside, it is not bad to snatch their armor, and let the warriors of their own cattle are all armored.

……

The strategy has been decided, Suo Hun and others returned to the Chinese army, in addition to the original vest to get the allocation of the shku, the infantry armor of the two paishku, and the unarmored soldiers of the two paishku, to draw up tactics and arrange the battle formation.

Everyone looked very relaxed, attacking this kind of small city, they were already familiar with the road, nothing more than shield car cover, a hundred paces away from the stabbing arrows throwing, luring them to fire. When the defenders finished firing their guns, the shield carts rushed up and continued to cover their guns and guns while firing arrows from their bows and arrows.

As long as they are within fifty paces, their firearms will not be a match for their own strong bows and arrows.

All the Niulu officers were very confident, and they carried four shield carts, each of which was six inches thick, with layers of cowhide and iron on the nails, and the masonry could not move, the fire could not be penetrated, and the firewood could not be burned, and each car could cover more than 20 people from fighting.

Relying on the sturdy shield chariots, they captured countless high and thick fortified cities, so the Eight Banners attached great importance to the shield chariot tactics. The old slave once said: "If you encounter an enemy without a shield car, don't go to war!" "The guard Borjin was once convicted of not carrying a shield chariot and fought in two places.

Later, the Eight Banners not only used shield vehicles for siege of the city, but also used shield vehicles in field battles, and pushed them until they were under the nose of the enemy. ”

The shield car covers, shoots arrows at close range, and the Eight Banners are invincible, so all the Niulu officers are very confident.

Suo Hun and the others saw that there were artillery pieces at the two convex corners of the stockade, but they didn't care, and the little wolf was just a machine, and it was difficult to hit the shield car when they shot from a distance. Their Eight Banners once attacked a certain city, and there were hundreds of Francophone machines in the city, and hundreds of cannons were fired in unison, but none of them were hit.

Even as long as it is not a hit, it is difficult for the impact force after the bounce to break through the strong protection of the shield car.

Suo Hun calmly arranged, four shield carts went out together, each car covered fifteen unarmored archers, and the remaining forty archers followed, and when they arrived near the trench, they shot arrows to suppress the wall, and the shield carts rushed closer. He marched seventy men, and likewise forty men, each chariot followed ten men.

They were armed with shields, and in addition to the necessary bows and arrows, they also carried sharp weapons such as throwing axes and javelins, and suppressed the enemies on the walled walls at close range.

In the end, he had thirty cavalry soldiers, and he also dispatched a dozen men, who followed on horseback, and entered the battle at the most critical moment, responding to the warriors who had ascended first.

The rest of him still has a large number of surpluses, thirty infantry armor, and more than a dozen horse armors, which are on standby as a garrison and enter the battle according to the situation.

He also chose the first to ascend, and told the four people who ascended first that the mouth of the military village was more dangerous, so they should not attack it. There were two horns in the opening, and after the archers had suppressed the enemy on the wall, the four of them hurried forward and climbed up from there with iron hooks.

Soon everything was arranged, the officers calmly returned to their military formation, and the trumpeter took out a pure white conch, which was the military horn of the Eight Banners Army, and since the time of the old slave, the conch has been used to command the battle. Now although the Eight Banners Army also has golden drums and other things, each cow still uses conchs more.

The conch in the hands of the trumpeter is natural but exquisitely made, the screw mouth is turned with brass, and the snail body is embedded with various exquisite natural stones.

"Woo ......" the majestic conch sounded, long and deep, like a muffled thunder rolling on the ground.

No matter how many people you are on the battlefield, you can feel the sound vibrating under your feet, just like a thunder drum beating your heart, and the soldiers of the Eight Banners immediately have red faces and red ears.

……

But he said that the first person was a soldier named Zhukutu, and he was very happy to receive this military order.

The walled city in front of him is not even a fourth-class city, and the first successful reward is at most ten taels of silver, but he is still very excited.

Every warrior who ascended first was admired, and even under the watchful eye of the public, military exploits could be passed on to the Great Khan.

There is a precedent, such as when attacking Zunhua, the white flag pawn Samhatu ascended first, the Great Khan Huang Taiji personally drank the golden sink, Samhatu was given the white body as a reserve, the descendants were hereditary, and the faults were pardoned, and the name Baturu was also given, and the cattle and camels were given satin cloth.

The second, third, and fourth followers were also rewarded with a large amount of oxen and horse satin cloth, and the Great Khan himself toasted and rewarded him with his position.

Therefore, for the first to attack the city, the Eight Banners are eager to attack, and because there are too many scrambles, some people even climb first several times, and finally die in battle. Therefore, the Qing soldiers have military discipline, and those who have taken the lead in landing the city once or twice to make meritorious contributions can no longer order the siege of the city.

Zhukutu grabbed this order, and the three siegers behind him were overjoyed, and the armor soldiers beside him cast envious glances.

At this time, Zhukutu and the three pioneers were behind four shield carts, each eight feet high, made of fine hardwood, and the guards were nailed with layers of cowhide and iron, which were very strong and heavy. Because of this, each shield cart had four wheels, and each cart needed five or six coats to push.

And behind those coats, there were unarmored bannermen and foot armor, standing in layers, and the snow reflected the red tassels on their iron helmets or warm hats.

After the four of Zhukutu rode their horses, they were all equipped with iron hooks, shields, and goose-winged knives, and behind them were the vests that were in battle.

Looking ahead, Zhukutu's heart was very relaxed, the Qing Dynasty was invincible, and he believed that this walled fort was also a matter of one drum.

He looked at the distance of the wall, the guards there were already on guard, and he could see their armor shining in the sun, and thought that their iron armor was not bad, if they could capture two sets, his two younger brothers would have a chance to become armor soldiers.

He had two younger brothers, both of whom were used as Yu Ding's auxiliaries in Niu Lu at this time.

"Woo ......" The majestic conch sounded, rolling from the ground, feeling the sound trembling under his feet, Zhukutu's eyes were red, and the brute bravery in his body was stimulated, and he didn't think twice, urging the horses to step forward.

Bao Yi also pushed the shield cart, creaking and creaking towards the snow, followed by the archers and armor soldiers, who walked in order, their helmets jumping in the sunlight, their weapons glittering with a dazzling cold light.

Soon the army jumped over the official road and entered the wilderness ahead, only a hundred steps away from the fortress.

He heard a faint shouting command from there, and then Zhukutu saw what was covered on the faces of the guards over there, and it was actually an iron mask, like their armor, shining in the sun from head to face.

These guards were so well-equipped that a strange feeling surged in Zhukutu's heart. And after entering a hundred steps, they still did not move, and if they were replaced by other Ming troops, they would have been splitting and playing non-stop for a long time.

And they have artillery, and they don't fire at this distance?

Seeing that the two walls above and below them were lined up with firecrackers, and the black guns were facing the shield cart, Zhukutu couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.

An infantryman gave the order, and the archers were already armed with large bows, and their quivers were either tied behind their backs or worn on the right side of their bodies, and they were full of arrows, both melee and long-range.

After receiving the order, they all drew a thorn arrow and put it on it, and slowly drew their bows, and the narrow arrows were far away in the direction of the wall.

Suddenly, the sound of "sighing" became one, and hundreds of arrows swept into the air, making a sound like a light breeze blowing through the birch forest, and after the arrows flew to the top, they fell in an arc again, and once again made a sharp sound of breaking the air.

Weeds grew all over the wall, and even Jukutu saw an arrow fall on the helmets of the defenders, and fell weakly.

That's all, there is still no movement on the side of the military village.

The attacking Qing soldiers threw a few more shots, the wall was "overgrown with weeds", the defenders were still stable, and the sense of unease in Zhukutu's heart became stronger and stronger, but the shield cart advanced, and the rear did not collect the troops, so Zhukutu had to ride his horse to continue to follow.

Soon, the creaking four shield carts entered the passage between the trenches, only fifty paces from the wall, and there was still no movement there.

Forty archers flashed out from behind the shield cart one after another, and they stepped on the edge of the first trench, their bows open, and they had changed their melee arrows, or they took the shield arrows, or the crescent moon arrows, and the arrows of the forest were only pointed in the direction of the wall.

The fifteen archers of each shield cart covered by the chariot continued to advance, and they followed behind the shield cart, with their bows and arrows drawn, and watched vigilantly at the movement on the other side of the wall.

Some of the armoured soldiers also held shields, and in their right hands they held axes, iron bones, or javelins, and held them tightly.

The shield carts continued to move forward, two in front and two behind, and suddenly, Zhukutu saw two cannons turning at the convex corners, and they were aiming at the two shield carts in the distance.

There was a loud bang, and the two falcon cannons opened fire, and a large stream of gunpowder smoke came out, as well as the fierce fire that followed.

A projectile weighing ten taels roared past a shield cart, not hitting the main body of the shield cart, but striking a leaning Tartar archer.

The archer wore a pair of leather armor, strong and strong, but the cannonball pierced his body, front and back, from the leather armor to the musculoskeletal and to the back of the heart, a very dry hole, because the instant heat coagulated the wound here.

The ten-tael projectile was menacing, and after penetrating the Tartar archer, it hit half of the body of the Tartar archer behind it.

A large piece of minced flesh, sandwiched with a rain of blood, falling fragments of armor, the right arm and some ribs of this tartar were missing, and half of the body was bloody.

He threw himself to the ground in a terrible manner, his entrails exposed, and his colorful intestines flowed out. He crawled desperately on the ground with one hand, his body trembling in the cold snow. He cried and begged, begging his comrades beside him to give him a good time.

At the same time, there was a loud bang, but the artillery at the north end hit the shield car on the left, which was six inches thick, and the layers of cowhide and iron were nailed on it, and it was directly penetrated. Broken wood flew sideways, and the perimeter of the cave collapsed and shattered, forming a large hole and losing a large part of its ability to hide.

Several of them screamed, and their heads and faces were injured by flying fragments. The cannonball roared, piercing through the body of a coat and striking a bow man directly, causing his skull to shatter like a rotten watermelon, and the fragments of his warm hat on his head flew away.

The rabbit fell, and before the Qing soldiers could react, a sharp swan sound suddenly sounded on the side of the walled fort.
