Chapter 134: I had to fight
"Lord Jiala, what do you think of the Ming Dog's military formation on the other side?"
Unag frowned, lowered his eyebrows and asked Kuroki Jindao beside him. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Although Unag is nominally higher than the official position of Kuroki Jin, the Jiala's true official, he is a Tunguska captive. The difference between a master and a slave, Unag still understands.
Therefore, every time he decided on a major matter, he had to seek the advice of this overseer, Ala-ezhen.
The white flag's Jia La's forehead really Hei Mu Jin looked at the Laizhou army carefully, and after a long while, he said: "Well, it doesn't seem to be easy to attack, that wall is very hateful." I am sure that there must be muskets in the front row. If you look closely, Ming Gou's musket can be easily fired, but the arrow can't be lifted so high, unless the front and back hands are raised to shoot, but then it will be weak. If we rush to the wall, our bows and arrows will be useless. If you shoot from a distance, most of them will be blocked by the low wall. And the wall seems to have been splashed with water, and it will be difficult to knock it down for a while. ”
After hearing this, Unag also nodded and said: "The master is right, if you can't break this military formation, I'm afraid this Gu'an county town will not be able to be attacked." ”
Unag looked at the military formation carefully, and couldn't help but want to retreat, and he said tentatively: "The old Khan once instructed me not to attack the fortified city in vain, and if you can't attack it, it will ruin my prestige. A few days ago, the Great Khan also said at the foot of the Ming Kingdom Jingshi City that if the fortified place is attacked, although the sergeant is injured, it is useless to win. This Ming army is mostly an infantry army, and it is better to lead it to the plains to besiege it, what does Lord Jiala think? ”
Hei Mujin also agreed a little in his heart, but looking at the Gu'an County behind him, he was a little reluctant in his heart, this is a world of countless flowers and flowers for money and food women!
After all, since the invasion of this captive devil, he has never been defeated, and his spirit is very high, even Guan Ning and Xuanda Jingcai are not their generals, and they never dare to fight them head-on, let alone such an inexplicable infantry.
But Kuroki Jin was a little afraid that the losses would be too great, and they were most afraid that there would be too many wounded, which would become a great burden on the march.
Unag saw him hesitate and stopped talking. Anyway, I threw the problem to him, and it was up to this Jia Lae Zhen to decide whether to fight or not. In the event of a real death or injury, there are also people who will help share the responsibility.
Kuroki Kim was about to agree to retire, when two people suddenly hung upside down on a carriage at the position of the Chinese military flag opposite, and the carriage slowly lined up from the position of the Chinese army.
Jia La's eyes were very good, and at a glance, he could see that under the heads of the two people, there was a thin braid. And these two Manchu devils, although they were hanging upside down, they also saw the Manchu army on the opposite side, and began to shout desperately!
Kuroki Jin's face suddenly became ugly, needless to say, these must be two captured Manchu, and the surrounding Manchu soldiers were also in a commotion.
Since the time of the old wild boar Pinurhachi, hundreds of people have chased and fought with thousands of Ming troops, and no Ming army has ever dared to provoke so much.
The carriage in the Ming army finally stopped at the gap in the low wall in the front row, and several strong Ming soldiers untied the two prisoners and knelt on the ground, and the two Ming executioners with full faces held large knives on the necks of the two captives, and looked at this side with a cruel smile.
The soldiers in the first few rows had excellent eyesight, and they could all see clearly, and the queue began to buzz with discussion. If it weren't for the strict discipline of the Jiannu army, I'm afraid some people would have scolded them a long time ago.
The two executioners of the Ming army gestured for a while, and then suddenly swung the broadsword at the same time, and two heads fell to the ground in the flash of the knife.
The two sword-wielding Ming soldiers triumphantly lifted their braids, held their heads high and swaggered outside the low wall, and a burst of "Kill the captives!" suddenly sounded in the Ming army's array. Cheers.
Jia La's forehead really Hei Mujin gritted his teeth and looked at it, and squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth: "Chief Officer Unag, if the Great Khan knew that we were leaving like this, he would definitely be punished." Today, even if it is a hard bone, we will gnaw it! ”
"Good! My lord! I listen to you, let's gnaw this hard bone together! Unag hurriedly echoed Kurokikim's words.
The armor soldiers of the Manchu master were all caught by the Ming Dog and killed in front of the Manchu army. Now I have to fight.
After Unag finished speaking, he looked at the triumphant Ming troops on the opposite side with burning eyes, and said fiercely to the soldiers behind him: "Let the three Taiji soldiers of Horqin, including Wudadu, Zheerduji, and Wukedan, come to the Chinese army to receive the order, and the left and right wing armor soldiers will dismount and put on their armor, and send two thousand people to assault first." ”
Seeing that his arrangement was also in the middle of the rules, Kuroki Jin nodded yes.
After a while, the three Taiji of Horqin came over to receive the military order, and with more than 2,000 Mongolian cavalry, they shouted and rushed towards the Laizhou army position in dust.
The Mongolian cavalry of this era has long lost the power of the Mongolian iron cavalry of Genghis Khan.
The ranks of more than 2,000 cavalry were spread out very widely, and they rushed towards the Laizhou army in a chaotic manner, and soon rushed to a place seventy or eighty paces away from the Laizhou army.
Zhu Lei bit his lip tightly and frowned as he stared at the enemy riders who were getting closer and closer. During the military briefing before the war, Wang Ruiwang had already told the commanders of each battalion that they should believe in their own weapons and equipment, in the long-term training of the Laizhou Army, and in these soldiers who had gone through actual combat.
In order to eliminate the living force of the Manchu devils to the greatest extent, Wang Rui asked that in the first battle, the enemy should be brought closer to a distance of sixty paces before fighting.
Because the range of the bow used by the enemy on horses is no more than 50 paces, and most of them are weak and weak, even if they are shot at people, they will not cause any damage. However, the Laizhou Army's "Type 28 rifle" has an effective range of more than 100 paces and can kill any enemy captives within this distance.
In other words, at a distance of sixty to a hundred paces, it becomes a completely asymmetrical battle. The Laizhou army could calmly shoot the Manchu soldiers, but the bows and arrows of the Manchu soldiers could hardly shoot in front of their own positions. What Zhu Lei was waiting for was to let these Mongolian cavalry cross the mound of earth that had been piled up in front of the formation in advance and had a distance of sixty paces.
"The first five rows are ready!" Zhu Lei ordered loudly.
More than 300 soldiers in the first two rows immediately squatted down, and the muzzles of their guns were pointed slightly at the front. More than 400 soldiers in the back two rows took advantage of the gentle slope of the hill and pointed their guns straight ahead in a figure-eight arching posture.
The last row of more than 200 soldiers stood completely calmly, and the muskets in their hands were also pointed in the direction of the Mongol cavalry.
Because the "Type 28 rifle" used by the Laizhou Army is a rear-loading firing pistol with fixed ammunition, the soldiers can shoot and reload in any position.
"Warriors of Kexinqin, prepare bows and arrows!" Opposite the Laizhou army, Gushan Ezhen Wudadu, who rushed to the front, was already so excited that his beard trembled, and he shouted to his warriors to prepare to release arrows.
"Let these Han dogs taste the arrows of my Mongolian warriors!" The other two Mongol Taijis, Erduji and Ukdan, also shouted and beckoned their men to prepare for archery.
Seventy steps, sixty steps, Zhu Lei stared at the mound of soil sixty steps away from his army formation through the flying dust, and his heart seemed to be beating with the hooves of the Mongolian cavalry.
