"This is strange, they think that they can defeat my Jurchen invincible iron cavalry with only archers? And the enemy has no cavalry, spearmen, artillery, auxiliaries, etc., and the difficulty is that the Japanese who crossed the sea? Ming An Tubayan muttered to himself. In addition to the Ming army and Korea near Liaodong, there was also a strong Japanese force.

However, seeing that the enemy did not have cavalry, artillery, shield chariots and other restraint cavalry, Ming An Tubayan had the confidence to win, so he got up and ordered his opponent loudly: "Jurchen warriors, follow me to annihilate this group of enemies, and let the prestige of our Jurchen iron cavalry add to the victory." ”

All the tribal warriors under the "chirp" hall fought together to fight Qianying Nuodao.

Ming An Tubayan is not an ordinary Niu Lu Ezhen, he led more than 1,000 tribes to take refuge in the old slave in his early years, and was divided into two Niu Lu, each Niu Lu more than 500 people, after decades of war, has become two Niu Lu of more than 1,000 people, and the other is led by his eldest son to defend the coastal fort of Jinzhou.

His merits were only under the Jurchen Five Tiger Generals, but because he was too old to go to the battlefield again, his title was inherited by his eldest son, who also led another Niulu.

He is not only Niu Lu Ezhen, but also the patriarch of the tribe, his authority is unparalleled, and he is a ten thousand people who obey the order.

It was also Yang Rentianbu who came too suddenly, otherwise he would have sent someone to inform him that another Niu Lu would come to besiege, but the difference in numbers between the two sides was not big, and he didn't think that his Jurchen Iron Cavalry would lose this time.

With the order of Ming An Tubayan, the two powerhouses in Nanguan will meet, and there will be a dragon fight.

Due to the proximity to the city, Ming An Tubayan only transferred the elite five hundred vests, and without Ahha, the combat power was extraordinary.

The Jurchens basically dismounted and fought on foot, but sometimes they would charge on horseback depending on the situation, such as the Tobao in Fuzhou, which used that tactic.

However, the casualties of the charge itself are large, especially when dealing with opponents who are heavily defended, the casualties will be unbearable, and the cautious Tartar leader will not use them.

Because the Tartars were riding horses to attack, they did not wait in place like Tuobao, and there were as many as 500 cavalry, all the way, rolling iron streams, hooves rumbling, the earth trembling, dusty, several miles away, Yang Rentianbu heard it.

Yang Rentian immediately issued a battle order: "Someone come, pass on my order, the troops are deployed in battle formation, Yang Renyu's department is in the center, and Yang Renzhou's Yang Renri part is covering the two wings."

The logistical baggage troops immediately went to arrange fortifications such as cannons, horse rejection, horse so, and horse traps. ”

His slaves immediately responded, and the slaves in charge of the flag and orders immediately waved their flags and sounded their horns, and the slaves who were in charge of verbal orders immediately went to the logistics baggage unit and gave the order loudly.

Yang Rentian's Chinese army was originally in front of the logistics baggage troops, and the efficiency of the orders was not much worse than the flag orders, and the soldiers of the logistics troops immediately ran to the front of the team.

At this time, the soldiers of the logistics department were racing against time, running about a mile from the position of the logistics unit to the front, and the cavalry of the Tartars was only about six miles away from their side, and the cavalry was several times the speed of the infantry, so the soldiers of the logistics unit were almost 100 meters to rush forward.

Of course, it is impossible for the Tartar cavalry to sprint at high speed at the beginning, the horse's physical strength is limited, and the real cavalry will generally start a charge two miles away, so as to maintain a strong impact for half an hour.

If Ming An Tubayan ordered the troops to charge at the beginning, the logistics troops of the Black Armor Army would definitely not have time to be arranged, but in fact, there was often no if, when Ming An Tubayan led the Jurchen Iron Cavalry to the front of the Black Armor Army two miles away, he saw a battle formation that was already in full formation.

As mentioned earlier, although the ballista developed by Yang Wenli is not excellent in performance and cannot be accurately hit, it has an advantage, that is, it is quick to assemble, and it only takes one minute if you are proficient.

The rejection of the horse is ready-made, put it on the ground, and the horse rope is also very simple, drive a few stakes and tie the rope to it, only digging the horse pit takes time, but because there are several layers of protection behind, the logistics soldiers are not in a hurry, even if the Tartar cavalry is close at hand, they are still struggling to dig pits everywhere.

Seeing that the enemy was already in full array, and there were enemy auxiliaries who were digging pits in front of the two armies, Ming An Tubayan couldn't help frowning, and sure enough, as Tulu said, the enemy even the auxiliaries were ironclad elites, and the form of indifferent treatment of their own iron cavalry was the quality of veterans.

This battle is not easy to fight! The other party had already prepared, and the opponent's soldiers stood like an abyss, without the slightest panic, and it was impossible to charge the battle.

This is the trouble of the new opponent, the other party has never fought with the Jurchen iron cavalry, there is no fear of their own side, some methods of harassing the enemy are effective against the Ming army, and they must be ineffective against this heavy infantry of unknown origin.

In fact, the Black Armor Army is not a veteran of a hundred battles, but the military discipline is too strict, so strict that it is terrible to be killed by the enemy, the Black Armor Army adopted the policy of connecting seats, punished the soldiers, and the families of the soldiers will be punished in the same way, such as the soldiers are demoted, the family members will also have no houses and no land, such as the soldiers are beheaded, and the family members will also be executed, which is very cruel.

But at the same time, the Black Armor Army also rewards warriors, all combat exploits will be recorded in the military merit book, and if you accumulate enough, you will be upgraded, and then the house, woman, land, and salary will not be less than half a cent, which is very fair.

Ming An Tubayan encountered such an army with iron discipline, he fully observed the kung fu of Banzhu Xiang, and at the same time considered what tactics to use, he couldn't help but regret that he didn't bring a shield car artillery.

The Jurchens were good at using shield carts, a shield cart could hide twenty people, and pushed to the range of the bow and arrow, which was enough to prevent the scattered bullets of the artillery, so they used the advantage of the strong bow to have a longer range than the Ming army's muskets, and projectile them from a distance, killing and injuring the Ming army, disrupting the formation of the Ming army, and then defeating the Ming army with foot combat.

Yes, the Jurchen Tartars' biggest reliance is foot warfare, the Jurchens are fishing and hunting peoples, and their physical fitness is better than that of farming peoples, so infantry battles can often make the Ming army lose their armor.

It's a pity that the opponent this time is the Black Armor Army, who has a generous meal, three meals, and specializes in exercising strength, and his physical fitness is stronger than that of the Jurchens.

After observing the kung fu of Banzhu Xiang, seeing that the other party had no flaws, Ming An Tubayan still did not dare to rush into battle, he decided to go back and get the shield car artillery to deal with this group of strong enemies of unknown origin, so he flicked the reins of his horse and ordered loudly: "Let's go back first, take the shield car artillery, and then give them some color to see!" ”

After saying that, he turned his horse's head and left, and his tribal warriors naturally followed and returned to Nanguan.

This is the difference between him and Tuobao, Tuobao's Niu Lu is a standing Niu Lu, which is composed of flag soldiers and armor soldiers drawn from other tribes in this banner, so Tuobao dares to take risks, and the soldiers of Ming An Tubayan are his tribesmen, and he will be sad if he dies, so he does not dare to risk rushing into battle.
