Chapter 565: Waiting for the Fight
The Ming army's position where the needle fell can be heard, in a well-concealed hiding cave.
The chief flag officer, Guo Sanxi, who was the first to climb the city wall of Quang Ninh, carefully examines his beloved double-barreled short gun under the lights.
The tall and mighty Guo Sanxi was originally a sword and shield player with outstanding martial arts in Ning Yuanming's army, and he became a private soldier of the Huang family in the past few years, and he has made great achievements in the north and south, and now he has finally passed the cultural examination and become the chief flag officer of the seventh grade.
The trenches built by the Ming army will have a log top of the trench every few dozen steps, on which are built with straw bales filled with dirt, and several holes are covered with thick canvas curtains, allowing soldiers to take turns to rest in them.
The light used in it is not a candle or an oil lamp with lamp grass, nor an ordinary fierce oil lamp, but a horse lamp, which can be carried and weatherproof, and can be hung on the horse when riding at night.
Guo Sanxi's general banner is subordinate to Ge Chengjieqian's general command, and there are a total of 36 regular soldiers and 18 auxiliary soldiers in the general flag officer, most of which are of different nationalities, and the three small flag officers under his command are also.
There is a small flag officer Shi Jiro, who used to be a Japanese ronin, and a small flag officer who used to be an adventurer of the Western Galen ship, Xi Guiming, who was a Gaul and gave himself such a Chinese name, and a small flag officer who was a Li archer, whose name was Geya Guno.
The private soldiers of the Huang family who were squatting in the trenches were all notified, and now they are quietly waiting for Jiannu to come and fight, no one is afraid, on the contrary, everyone is extremely excited. Why? Because Jiannu's head is too valuable!
It's not just the thrill of money, but the honor of killing enemies and making meritorious contributions will make you and your whole family show your face in front of people.
Because the head of the family made many beheading medals, divided into gold, silver, and bronze, wearing a fine silver medal means that the soldier once killed a member of the Jiannu regular soldiers.
Possessing a bronze medal means that you have killed an enemy soldier, it may be a monkey soldier of the Great Yue Kingdom, or it may be a bandit bandit, or it may be a rogue, and if you kill a Tartar, you can get two bronze medals, and you can also get two bronze medals for killing a Japanese ronin.
The winner of the Gold Medal can be a first-level soldier who independently kills a Jiannu white-armored soldier, or a third-level regular soldier of the Jin Army after killing an ordinary person.
The Huang family system was originally proud of the soldiers, and the soldiers who wore medals on their chests on the streets were undoubtedly heroes with military merits, and they were the loveliest people in the Huang family, of course, the most popular people.
If the soldiers who did not say that their daughters-in-law had a medal weighing one or two gold on their chests when they went on a blind date, they would definitely provoke the beautiful women to scream, and they would definitely cry and shout that they would marry the hero who had killed Jiannu Bayala with his own hands.
Beauty loves heroes, and the Huang family will not let heroes shed blood and tears, and heroes' lives will always be better. Every soldier with military merits will be rewarded and privileged, the immediate family members will be given good jobs, and the tax-free acres will be increased accordingly.
The honor of the medal is only issued to the soldiers below the general flag officer, and there is no such opportunity if you try to reach the rank above 100 households, because the medal is to encourage the soldiers to fight bravely to fight for honor, and the chief flag officer of the Huang family system can lead the soldiers under his command to rush into battle, and the general flag and above are not allowed to take the lead.
Guo Sanxi's general banner is mainly cold weapons of soldiers, they are not the first echelon of the trenches, there are musketeers and steel pulley archers waiting for the battle, cold weapons troops are waiting for the enemy to break through when the backbone of the counterattack.
Thanks to the gradual improvement of the Huang family's industrial system, the output of armor has been more than enough, not only equipped with all the regular soldiers and auxiliary soldiers, but also lent 3,000 pairs to Xiao Ma Chao's white pole soldiers.
With better protection, the casualties rate of the Ming army will of course plummet, and with the sturdy armor, the white pole soldiers, who were already eager to rush and kill, are even more looking forward to fighting against Jiannu again to avenge the blood feud of the Hunhe River.
In the trenches of the Houjin army, the reckless Gurtai in military uniform had a hideous face, and the pro-soldier team Bayala who followed him was also fierce and vicious.
The selected soldiers of the Eight Banners were all gearing up, and the red gangsters, who were also neatly dressed, came to the front of the battle to agitate:
"Warriors, this is the time to kill the enemy! The enemy was only a hundred paces away, and the warrior who broke through the Ming army's defense line first was rewarded with three hundred taels of silver and three future ....... ”
The master gave such a generous reward, and the deep mountain hunters' eyes lit up one by one, but unfortunately there was no way to cheer loudly, and they passed the Great Khan's words to the ears of every warrior who went out to fight.
The red guy hugged Mang Gurtai's waist tightly again, and said, "Fifth brother is precious! ”
Mang Gurtai nodded heavily and said no more, at this time silence is better than sound, and then waved his hand behind him, and the solemn elite of the Eight Banners strode forward along the trench.
The three Bel Azig, Dolgon, and Haug of the second echelon stood behind the Red Gangster, with complicated expressions, and watched Mang Gurtai disappear into the night with his warriors.
In fact, there are not many horses, infantry armor, and white-armored soldiers in the Houjin army, and the assault force of Mang Gurtai plus the second echelon of 3,000 people is afraid that the Houjin army has been removed from the elite of the three percent, I don't know if the red gangsters are willing to lose four or five thousand fresh troops in this battle?
Mang Gurtai quietly approached the forefront with 1,600 elites, and then rushed out one by one with iron shields.
The opposite position was quiet, and it seemed that the Ming army was not aware of the attack of the Houjin army. Dozens of pro-soldiers held iron shields and tightly surrounded the master.
I had just advanced less than thirty steps, and suddenly "Oops, oops....... With a few muffled grunts of pain, several white-armored soldiers fell to the ground, blood flowing from their feet.
Haha, the iron tribulus terrestris produced on a large scale in the Huang family system is more vicious, not only extremely sharp, but also designed with hook-like barbs at the top of each steel thorn, and the enemy can't get rid of it when he steps on it, so he must honestly sit down and pull it out with his hands to endure the pain, otherwise how to run if the iron tribulus sticks to the soles of his feet?
Therefore, the enemy who is hit not only suffers, but also successfully makes them have to waste time dealing with the thistle terrestris on their feet, and the enemy who is in a state of sudden attack is slowed down in the way of attack, even for a second, and the benefits to the defender are self-evident.
Maybe at that very moment, the deadly Mini bullet had already blown the enemy's head out.
Mang Gurtai's eyes were good, and he found the clue, and scolded: "It's thistle, the Ming army is too hateful, don't raise your feet, push the pace of movement." ”
Sanbeile is worthy of being a senior butcher, with rich battlefield experience, and as long as his feet do not leave the ground and move over, the chance of being pierced will be greatly reduced, but in this way, he will walk much slower, unable to jump and move, and the flexibility of the soldiers will be reduced a lot.
