Just when Mang Gurtai decided to attack, the Houjin army in the middle also launched a feint to contain the Ming army's camp in the middle and had no time to take care of anything else.

Later, the Jinfang side commanded this feint, and it was Tuna and Sony. After fleeing from the Ming Dynasty, Tuna has always been highly valued by Huang Taiji, and he trained a firearms battalion with Li Guohan and Li Sili mainly Han Chinese. This firearms battalion is mainly trained in the use of arquebuses, which is different from the Wuzhen Chaoha unit trained by Tong.

Although Huang Taiji often regarded Chinese cavalry archery as the foundation of the Jurchen clan in front of everyone, he often admonished the Jurchen relatives and nobles: "Our soldiers and pawns have geometry at the beginning, because they are skilled in horse archery, so they conquer in the field and take the siege of the city." "The elder and young are diligent in practicing shooting in spring, summer and autumn, and from time to time send their ministers to investigate, if they can't shoot, they will be punished for the crime of the leader." "Reading history, I know that Jin Shizong is really virtuous. When Xizong and Wanyan Liang were finished, the old system of Taizu Taizong was abolished... and Sejong's succession... Oracle: Do not forget the ancestral law, practice riding and archery, and future generations will not abide by it, so that the country will be destroyed..."

However, Huang Taiji said that in reality, he still pays great attention to the military use of weapons. In the final analysis, the Chinese language is used to shape the identity and pride of the emerging Jurchen nation in Jianzhou, to distinguish it from the Han culture.

Among the three kingdoms of Daming, Houjin, and Korea in Northeast Asia, the Ming people attached the most importance to the development of artillery, but despised arquebuses. And the one who attaches the most importance to the arquebus is North Korea. The reason for this situation was that after the Japanese invasion of Korea, it was the arquebuses used by the Japanese that left a deep impression on the whole of Korea.

Although Joseon was able to repel the Japanese invaders with the help of the Ming Kingdom, the Japanese skills in making arquebuses remained. The arquebuses made by the Koreans were not inferior in quality to the arquebuses made by the Japanese, but the ** of the Korean army far surpassed the Ming army.

As a result, in what the Koreans called the Ding Mao Rebellion, the Korean officers and soldiers with advanced arquebuses did not exert the power of their weapons at all, and were defeated by the Jurchen cavalry and bows and arrows. The captured Korean officers and soldiers also introduced arquebuses to the Houjin army.

The Jurchens soon learned how to use these Korean arquebusiers, and they were strictly disciplined on weekdays, teaching the Jurchens the discipline of warfare, but not giving them lead, so that they could not resist. When it came time to fight, although * lead was issued, there were many Jurchen soldiers surrounding them, so naturally there was no need to worry about these Koreans turning back on the battlefield.

It's just that under such heavy oppression and prevention, the North Korean arquebusiers will not be very effective. For this reason, the Jurchen nobles, including Huang Taiji, were eager to obtain large artillery that could be used to break through the city walls, but they despised arquebuses as individual weapons.

However, in the two wars of Jizhou and Yizhou, the development of arquebus technology in the Ming army finally made Huang Taiji begin to pay attention to this kind of weapon used by individual soldiers. Compared to the timid and always half-hearted Koreans, Hwang Tae-gil preferred to trust the Han Chinese who surrendered to Jin.

So when he ordered Tong Yangxing to study artillery, he also tried to form a Han army firearms battalion. This firearms battalion was centered on Li Sili's department, who surrendered in the Battle of Zunhua, plus some Han Chinese from Liaodong, and used arquebuses made by Korean craftsmen, and under the management of the Jurchens, the quality of the arquebuses made by Korean craftsmen was better than that in Korea.

However, these craftsmen are only craftsmen after all, and can only create imitations from real objects, and cannot upgrade the structure of the arquebus. No matter how good the quality is, it is just a slow-firing arquebus, not to mention that Houjin himself does not have the ability to *, so he can only obtain it from the Ming army and the Koreans.

But with the Zhangjiakou Jin merchants being disposed of by the Ming Dynasty, Jinzhou, Ningyuan and other Liaoxi armies were purged by the imperial court one after another, and now the * of the Houjin can only rely on, obtained from Korea and Phi Dao. Phi Dao's * is still good, but the amount of outflow is not much; Although North Korea is able to provide a larger amount of *, it has more impurities and is obviously less powerful.

Therefore, the establishment of this Han army firearms battalion is not large, and it can only be used as a model for the Jurchens to understand the combat effectiveness of the Ming army's firearms unit. After Tuna escaped because of the delivery of information, Huang Taiji abandoned him to this unit, and he wanted to see if the army military academy established by the Ming people could teach something useful on the battlefield.

If it weren't for the distance of this expedition, Huang Taiji would even want to bring out the Wuzhen Chaoha troops to see how much surprise this artillery unit that cost him a lot of money could bring him.

After Soni returned from his mission to the Ming camp, Huang Taiji listened to what he saw at the Ming camp and asked Tuna and Soni to study together how to attack such a fortified camp.

Although Tuna didn't want to play for Huang Taiji, in the process of training this firearms battalion, he also had to admit one thing, when Huang Taiji wanted to use someone, it would indeed make people feel like a spring breeze and feel reused. If it weren't for the fact that Tuna had endured it before, how Huang Taiji helped his uncle rob him of the inheritance left to him by his father, he might have really come up with the idea of dying as a confidant.

But now, Tuna knows that Huang Taiji treats him like this, and he still looks at his experience of training at the Army Military Academy, hoping to use his experience to understand what the so-called new army of the Ming Army is. Therefore, Tuna didn't pay much attention to the training of this firearms battalion, but he was surrounded by Huang Taiji's cronies like Li Guohan, and Li Sili, a general who had just joined Houjin not long ago and wanted to perform actively, so the training of this firearms battalion was slowly on the right track.

Tuna really didn't expect that this firearms battalion had just taken shape, and Huang Taiji couldn't wait to verify the quality of this unit. After learning that he was going to go to battle with the firearms battalion, Tuna immediately took high responsibility for his own life, and he and Sonny carefully studied the situation of the Ming army camp for several days, and made a certain analysis of the daily situation report of the scouts.

After that, Tuna reported to Huang Taiji, believing that the Ming army's battalion would not be easy to attack under the current conditions, unless the artillery of the Uzhen Chaoha army cleared the obstacles in front of the camp.

After listening to the explanations of Tuna and Sony, Huang Taiji's face did not change, he just said calmly to the two: "How can there be immortals in war." When my father Khan raised troops, Liaoyang and Shenyang were all high walls and deep trenches, which city was better than the camp in front of me, but these two cities were still drummed down by my father Khan.

The ancients said well, husband fights, courage also. Giving up after a fight and giving up at all and giving up at all are two attitudes of completely different nature. You've already fought, and if you come back and tell me that you can't fight and give up, then I finally know that you've worked hard. If you can't fight, you can't fight, when did my Jurchen become so cowardly? Do you really think that there is no military law in the army..."

Under Huang Taiji's reprimand, Tuna and Sonny did not dare to argue any more, so they honestly retreated to cut down wood and build chariots and other siege equipment.

The tactics of the chariot were also learned by Nurhachi from the side of the Ming army, with pine planks of more than three inches erected on the active car, and then covered with a layer of raw cowhide and iron sheet, which was called: small bricks and stones do not move, large bricks and stones hit and rolled down, and firewood was thrown without burning. It can be used as a weapon to shield the long-range weapons of the army, which can be described as infinitely powerful.

During Nurhachi's attack on Kaiyuan and Tieling, he used improved chariots to participate in the siege of the city and successfully covered the soldiers under the city. The Eight Banners Army that arrived at the city either dug the foot of the wall and damaged the city wall, or erected a ladder to climb the city wall, and finally the two cities fell one after another. Later, in the first year of the Apocalypse (1621), Nurhachi led his army to capture Shenyang, and the chariot also played an important role.

It is also thanks to the proximity of the camp set up by Houjin to Daqingshan, so the wood needed to build the chariot can be easily satisfied. It's just that the number of craftsmen in the camp is not much, and at most 5-7 pieces can be made in a day.

When Huang Taiji asked them to go out, Sony and Tuna were only enough to repair 65 cars. Although these carts are somewhat shoddy, the thickness of the planks exceeds the thickness of the old ones. In Tuna's senses, even his own arquebus may not be able to break through these cars at close range.

2,000 Han firearms battalions, 600 white flags, and 7,000 people from the two divisions of Bahrain and Zalut, which were handed over by Huang Taiji to Sonny and Tuna. Of course, Huang Taiji did not ask them to open the gate of the Ming army camp opposite, but only asked them to find out the number and distribution of troops in the Ming army camp as much as possible.

Seben led 4,000 Zalut troops in front to clear the way of the attack for Sonny and Tuna, and of course, the Ming scouts who were as irritable as flies.

Sebuteng and Manzhu Xili led 3,000 Bahraini men to follow the White Banner Jiala Ezhen Xifu Palace, while Tuna was to take the Han army firearms battalion and 65 chariots in the center. The carts are basically equipped with 3 cars for every 100 people, and 30 selectors push the carts to the front.

In fact, as long as there was a glimmer of possibility, Tuna did not want to directly attack the camp of the Ming army, but wanted to lure the Ming army out of the camp for field combat. However, the Ming army obviously also wanted to test whether these defensive facilities in front of their camp were effective and how effective they were, so after being dispersed by Seben and the Zarut cavalry in front of the battle, they guarded the camp gate and stopped attacking.

The large camp to the west of the Ming army is actually the section between the west bank of the Ulanqab River and Tiger Mountain. The defensive front in front of the camp had to cross the Tiger Mountain to the hilly area to the west, covering the passage of Wolong Mountain and Tiger Mountain in the rear. The western camp has two gates and three small gates, one gate is at the foot of Tiger Mountain, the other gate is near the Ulanqab River, and the remaining three small gates are between the two gates.

When Tuna chose the direction of attack, he almost subconsciously stayed away from the vicinity of Tiger Mountain and chose a kilometer-long defensive line on the west side of the gate of the Ulanqab River to attack. The cavalry of the Zalut division was divided into two wings, the Bahrain division pressed the formation, and Li Guohan and Li Sili each led a thousand Han troops to attack in two teams on the left and right.

When Tuna ordered an attack on the Ming camp, it was also another battlefield, and Engdel changed direction and turned around to meet the cavalry that had moved in the middle of the Ming army.
