Jiannu retreated without a fight, which made Yang Rentian scratch his head, but the Black Armor Army was going to attack Nanguan anyway, so he would come a few ways, and I would only go all the way.

As mentioned earlier, there were not many roads in ancient times, and there was only one official road that could run the army, and there was no need to care about Jiannu's strategy and tactics.

So Yang Rentian immediately ordered loudly: "Someone come, pass my order, the baggage troops will go first, and all the departments will advance in turn." ”

His herald command flags were unfurled, conveying his orders to every unit at the front.

The location of the Black Armor Army is Jinzhou Station, less than ten miles away from Nanguan, there is no need to march quickly, at this time, safety is the first priority.

Under Yang Rentian's order, the black armor army set out again, the march was very slow, and the Jiannu on the other side rode back to Nanguan, but it only took a few minutes.

Ming'an Tubayan's youngest son is not yet an adult, it is the age when the sky is not afraid of the earth, he endured it for a long time, and only after returning to Nanguan did he find an opportunity to ask Ming'an Tubayan: "Ama, why did our army retreat without a fight?" It really insults the prestige of my Jurchen Iron Horseman. ”

"You know what? We have a better way, why do we have to force the opponent's battle formation, not only to have courage on the battlefield, but also to have brains, this is a quality that a famous general must have, otherwise you are only enough to be a pioneer. "Ming An Tubayan hated iron and taught his son a lesson.

There is another important reason why he didn't say it, the tribe is the capital of his life in Ming An Tubayan, so he won't be stupid and desperate with an unknown strong enemy!

Although the Jurchens were integrated into a unified Jurchen tribe after Nurhachi's expedition to the east and west, in fact, the interests of the tribe were still the priority.

The old slave just put gold on his face and claimed to be a descendant of the Jurchens, but in fact, the real Jurchens have basically been wiped out, and there are only in the Central Plains, after all, the Jin Kingdom of the Wanyan clan once occupied the land of flowers in the Central Plains, and it is impossible for there to be Jurchen people in a bitter cold place in the northeast.

Therefore, the main body of the current Jurchens is the Tungusic savages who migrated south from Siberia, and the tribe of the Ming Antu Bayan is the Tungusic people, who claim to have given birth to the Jurchens, but in fact has nothing to do with the Jurchens, and has little to do with the Jianzhou Jurchens of the old slaves.

The Jianzhou Jurchens were a mixture of Tungusic people, Tatar people, Goryeo people, Han Chinese, and a small number of real Jurchen people. The Haicynian Jurchen is a mixture of Tungusic people, Mongols, and Tatars; The savage women are really a hybrid of the Tartar and the Tunguska.

The Jianzhou Jurchen of the old slave is not a tribe, so Ming An Tubayan did not become a solid mountain Ezhen, and the old slave is unfamiliar, so he Ming An Tubayan will naturally not be stupid to fight with his own tribe and strong enemies.

It is still necessary to fight, otherwise it will not be possible to explain to Huang Taiji, so after returning to Nanguan, Ming An Tubayan immediately ordered the remaining Aha in the city to be a foot soldier, pushing the shield cart cannon to meet the enemy, he led five hundred iron cavalry to escort the formation, and when the opportunity was taken, he launched the cavalry to strike again.

Strictly speaking, the tactics of Ming'an Tubayan are very safe tactics with a great chance of winning, and they will not hurt the Jurchen roots, which is the most commonly used tactic of the Tartars.

It's a pity that this tactic also depends on the object, the Ming army's firearms configuration is relatively large, such as the moderate weight of the bowl-mouth gun, the tiger squat cannon, and the Miru gun, the three-eyed gun that can be held by one person and has a long range, as well as high-power cold weapons, such as various types of crossbow arrows.

These weapons, the range is farther than the Tartar's bow and arrow, the Tartar only thought of the method of shooting at close range with a shield car, this method is feasible, because the firearm has a shortcoming, it is more difficult to reload again, as long as the Tartar withstands the first few rounds of blows, the back is the Tartar slaughtering the Ming army.

But the black armor army is not an official army, all the above weapons and equipment are not configured, the only weapon with a long range is a ballista, but the ballista has a fast rate of fire, similar to the rate of fire of the archers, and it is a curved weapon, the shield car prevention effect is almost nothing, and in the end, the two armies have to shoot at each other, so in fact, the old strategy of Ming An Tubayan is in vain, and all the efforts are useless.

"Offensive" ......

The two armies marched opposite each other, although it was very slow, a few miles away, and it was only ten minutes before the two armies faced each other within sight.

A shield cart can hide twenty people, in addition to Aha with four carts, there are more than a dozen Jurchen armor soldiers hiding behind the shield cart, slowly attacking the black armor army.

The black armor army on the opposite side, not slow to move, under the command of Yang Renri, began to assemble the ballista, when the Tartar shield cart walked more than a mile away from their side.

"Shooting" ......

Yang Renri took out the Yang knife and waved it forward, ordering loudly.

The ballista of the black armor army is to form a strike group, due to the low accuracy, can only take surface killing, all the ballistas are adjusted to the same direction and the same elevation angle to shoot, by a ballista to fire stone projectiles to adjust the impact point, once hit, the remaining dozens of ballistas will be fired together, the advantage is that the firing speed is fast, and labor-saving, a minute can shoot two to three times.

Yang Rentian and Yang Renri, each of the general banners carried fifty ballistas, which meant that within a minute, one of the Tartars' shield carts would be subjected to a saturation attack of more than 100 stone shells.

The shield cart is basically useless against the curved ballista, and the Tartar hiding behind the shield cart has to bear the stone bullets falling from the sky, and the three-pound stone bullets will either not hit, and the one who hits will die, even if he holds the shield, he will be seriously injured.

After only a few rounds of blows, the Tartars took the lead in a few shield carts, and they continued to scream and completely stopped advancing. The rest of the shield carts saw that the wind was wrong, this kind of situation that could only be beaten and could not be backhanded, who could stand it, the Tartars even abandoned the shield carts, and hurriedly fled in the direction of the cavalry.

Ming An Tuba Yan was so angry that he vomited blood, and the perfect tactic he thought of was effortlessly broken by the other party, and none of the other party was injured, while dozens of tribal warriors died on his own side.

Looking at the opponent's army formation, it was like steel casting, motionless, as if this kind of victory was not worth mentioning, and the enemy was definitely an iron-blooded division.

This battle is not easy to fight! Ming An Tubayan couldn't help but regret that he didn't send someone to inform another Niu Lu to flank the front and back, and now it seems that the other party only has archers and ballistas, and they must hold something, and it is by no means as he thought before, it is easy to break the enemy.

Just when Ming An Tubayan regretted it, the Black Armor Army began to attack. It turned out that Yang Rentian saw the Tartar shield cart and saw that Hunter was happy, and he wanted to use the shield cart to prevent the impact of the Tartar cavalry.

At this time, between the two armies, separated by dozens of shield carts, the Tartar cavalry could not charge, so Yang Rentian directly ordered the troops to run forward.

Where could Ming An Tubayan stand this kind of wretched anger, he immediately waved his sword and ordered loudly: "Jurchen warriors, let the arrows in our hands teach the enemy a bloody lesson, we Jurchen iron horsemen, not only can charge into battle, but also dismount and fight, attack!" ”

When the Tartars received the order, they immediately turned over and dismounted, and ran forward to their own shield carts.
