Chapter 311: A Narrow Encounter
The Shanhaiguan infantry, Funing strong laborers, and Huangjia engineers dragged out the processed horses and deer firewood in accordance with the agreed plan, and slowly extended more than 200 steps to the north, encroaching on the territory, so that there was an extra buffer zone in front of our army's position, and then a large number of small pits were dug into the horses' hooves.

In the camp of the Ming army, troop carriers, chariots, more than 300 musketeers, 300 heavy infantry and the remaining more than 200 Shanhaiguan cavalry were waiting for the men and horses who went out to fight at any time as a general reserve.
This is already a full mobile force, because there are still 400 musketeers who cannot attack no matter how hard the battle is outside, and must hold their positions together with artillery and grenadiers, which is the basis for ensuring that the attacking team can retreat safely, and there can be no luck.
In case this place is assaulted by the Jiannu cavalry, the attacking team will be cut off, and the annihilation of the whole army is almost certain, after all, tens of thousands of Jiannu cavalry are here, they are the kings of cold weapons in this era, it is no exaggeration, as long as the Huang family and horses are entangled, they will be more than lucky.
Later, Jin Xiaobeilezier Harang was in charge of the southwest defense, and when he heard the news that the Ming army had come out, he personally brought more than 300 cavalry guards from his headquarters to the scene to command, and there were more than 2,000 cavalry inlaid with blue flags here.
Zilharang thought that these horses were enough to defeat the Ming army in the field, and the Han people were just relying on their firearms to defend sharply, and the Jin army dared to fight them in the field after they dared to come out.
He sent his men to harass them, but told them not to fight, to protect themselves, and to try to lure the Ming army further away from the camp.
Yesterday's losses are still vivid, Jiannu are already afraid of being injured by the Ming army's firearms, they all use the speed of the cavalry to gallop back and forth, they know that by doing so, the Ming army's artillery fire is difficult to aim.
Huang Sheng spotted Jiannu's cavalry cruising in Niulu at the lookout post, and ordered three sorties to drive them away and compress the enemy's cavalry's range of movement to the north.
The musketeers in the chariot fired a round of mini bullets, and the Jiannu cavalry, who had suffered a small loss, retreated three miles. The Ming army came to grab territory, and the enemy retreated, of course, to follow.
Seeing that these Ming troops were getting closer and closer, and they were already four miles away from their beachhead, Zilharang thought that the Ming army had lost artillery support and should try their catties, so he ordered the scout battle to start and fight for every inch of the Ming army, and he took his personal guards to a small hill to watch the battle.
The Jiannu cavalry, who received the order not to retreat, had no choice but to form a hedge, and the scout battle was fought very hard, with casualties on each other.
Due to the wounded war horse and the wild jump, one of the Huang family's chariots overturned, and the wheels of one of the chariots hit the stones fiercely when they advanced, and the wheels fell off and fell to the side.
Jiannu found that there was an opportunity to rush to grab the loot, and the Ming army was anxious to rescue the musketeers in the chariot.
Lord Huang Sheng immediately found two chariots overturned at the lookout post, and the fate of the sixteen musketeers in the chariots was unknown, and three coachmen had been seen struggling after being injured.
There was only one coachman left who was still ready to fight, and he emptied his double-barreled short-barreled short-barreled gun, and then took out the loaded short-barreled short-gun from his comrade's bosom and continued to shoot.
Because of the tenacity of this coachman, the three approaching Jiannu were either killed or wounded, and then more than a dozen Jiannu horsemen rushed to the chariot, and the coachman was not afraid, and took up his sword and shield to defend the chariot, refusing to be snatched by the enemy.
Seeing that this brave coachman would be beaten to death by the enemy, at the critical moment, four flintlock muskets in the chariot were fired, and it turned out that four of the musketeers who had been smashed were still able to move, and they reacted quickly and immediately opened fire.
More than 2,000 Jiannu cavalry rampage, more than 1,000 Ming soldiers also roared and attacked head-on, none of them took half a step back, every soldier was advancing, attacking, and advancing again.
For a while, there were bursts of blood splashing with shouts of killing, and soldiers on both sides continued to fall, Huang Sheng found that his subordinates were in danger, so he jumped off the lookout post at once, and rushed out of the beachhead with the guards and the general reserve team that was waiting for him.
The five ambulances and medical soldiers were not required to go to the battlefield immediately for treatment, but they used telescopes to observe the casualties of the Ming army, and they were not afraid of danger at all, and rushed to the battlefield with arrows flying after their masters.
The Ming army of the hedge has no fear, and the narrow road is naturally the victory of the brave, in the face of the fearless Ming soldiers, the Jiannu who rushed to seize the Ming army chariot and ran into a hard bone.
Huang Sheng was anxious and let Wu Qiang and Zhu Rongguo move forward at full speed, those soldiers who were in danger were their own efforts, and they taught them to read, read, and shoot guns by hand, and their feelings for each other were self-evident.
Those chariots could not be captured by the enemy, and if they towed one away, all the secrets of the Huang family would be obtained by Jiannu.
There are many clairvoyant mirrors, flintlock rifled guns, Minnie bullets, gunpowder, goggles and visoras equipped by the soldiers, and so on.
Although these things will be exposed in broad daylight sooner or later, if they can hide it for a few more days, after a few years, the Huang family will not be afraid of any enemy if they develop several times.
Moreover, there are also Han skilled craftsmen who were captured as slaves in Jiannu, and they can imitate even if they don't have qualified steel, even if they are rough and stupid, and the service life is shorter than nothing!
If Jiannu has these big killing weapons, it will cause unexpected casualties to the Ming army in the future battle, wouldn't the precarious Ming Dynasty make matters worse?
The chariot was driving at full speed, unable to aim in the shaking chariot, Huang Sheng could only rely on his hand to empty a flintlock pistol, and in a moment the two armies collided together.
After a scuffle, Jiannu didn't get the slightest bargain, and Lord Huang's personal team knew what the family was doing, so they dismounted and charged, and more than a dozen lead bullets hit two rounds at the fastest speed, and then one by one they wielded one-handed battle axes and light steel round shields to kill all sides.
The two sides were red-eyed, and they were completely close to each other, and the coachman instructors Wu Qiang and Zhu Rongguo, who were already the chief flag officers, personally drove the chariot for the head of the family this time, Wu Qiang took out a double-barreled short gun and picked up the 'armor-piercing spear', jumped off the chariot and rushed into the melee.
Each chariot is the main and deputy coachmen, Zhu Rongguo saw Wu Qiang join the battle group, he had no choice but to choose to take out a gun in the driving position and choose a fighter.
The coachmen all had a tacit understanding to rush up to one person, they shot two lead bullets in the double-barreled handcuffs, and killed the enemy with a sword shield or a 'armor-piercing spear', which was not much worse than the Jiannu vest, because they gave two lead bullets as soon as they approached the enemy, and the killing effect was stronger than that of the Jiannu waistcoat.
The heavy infantry was even more ruthless, Jiannu's war horse directly collided face to face and did not dodge, and directly held the 'armor-piercing spear' to pierce the Jiannu on the horse, many heavy infantry were hit by the galloping enemy war horse and vomited blood, suffered internal injuries, and some were knocked to the bone and broken tendons.
But none of the heavy infantry flinched, they laughed and hedged, and scolded viciously: "If you bump into Lao Tzu, you will not necessarily die, pierce your turtle grandson, see how you live?" ”
The Huang family archers and cavalry were not willing to compromise at all while charging and shooting arrows, and directly collided with the Jiannu cavalry, but the result was that Jiannu was frightened, turned the horse's head and flashed.
Wang Zhigui is born in Juehua Island, outstanding performance in previous battles, is already a small flag officer of the archers from the rank of deputy general of the seventh grade, his parents died in the Juehua Island massacre, this kid is ashamed and brave, every time he fights with Jiannu, he is desperate.
Wang Zhigui did not dodge or dodge when he hedged against the enemy, and suddenly jumped up when he saw that the war horses were about to collide, and he used a one-handed nail hammer because of his height and strength, and the steel thorns in front of him were a foot long, which could be smashed and stabbed.
This is because of the situation, he specially asked the Huang family blacksmith master to tailor the steel with many forged steel, he knows that many Jiannu heavy armor is difficult to penetrate, and his mace is not as good as that one.
Sure enough, it was very powerful, and he and his body pounced with all his strength, although it only hit the shoulder of the hedge Jiannu Bayala, and also beat the Bayala to the point that his mouth was full of blood and flew out.
Not only that, but he also pulled off a Jiannu waistcoat that passed by, and turned over the enemy's war horse, which is worthy of not being collected at night, and his riding skills are impeccable.
