The first round of attacks and killings was a great success, and the tiger guards themselves suffered only more than 20 casualties, all of which appeared in the teaching group, most of them were wounded, and only a few were killed. And under their lightning attack, the casualties of the Eight Banners of Jianju exceeded 800 people, two Niu Lu withdrew from the battle sequence, and one Niu Lu was beaten and had to rest.

Yu Guozhen had more than 2,000 guards in his hands, 3,000 Denglai soldiers, plus Liu Jingyao's 3,000 Yongping town army, the number reached 8,000, and the remaining number of Jianyu was about 9,000. In terms of the number of people alone, the strength of the two sides is equal.

But when it comes to combat strength, Yu Guozhen's Denglai soldiers are the weakest, and if the Yongping Zhenjun guards against danger, they may have the courage to fight with Jianyu, but in the field, their pale faces are the best footnotes, but they are not as useful as the Denglai soldiers who only load ammunition for the guards.

Therefore, Yu Guozhen understands that he is still at a disadvantage, and what he has to do is to try his best to bring back this disadvantage before the enemy makes a correct response.

"Switch targets and attack the guards of the guard!"

The Eight Banners of Jianyu were becoming more and more arrogant because of their repeated victories, but their actual combat ability was still at the forefront of this era, so although the sudden attack of the guards caught them by surprise, it did not make them dazed. Without waiting for his commander-in-chief to give an order, the two Niu Lu, who were closest to the hill, began to scatter and rushed towards the hill. Not only did they fight back at the first time, but without commanding, someone knew to outflank both ends of the hill!

Liu Jingyao originally thought that Yu Guozhen would take these prisoners as the main target of the attack, but he never thought that after Yu Guozhen ordered the muzzle of the gun to be turned, the target was the prisoners who were escorting the prisoners!

He was a little puzzled in his heart, he thought, at this distance, the accuracy of the musket is limited, in addition, the escort of the captives is a total of four Niu Lu, less than two thousand miles, but it continues on a road that is several miles long, attacking them, it is not conducive to giving full play to the advantage of concentrated firepower, but let the Jianyu cavalry rush in front of him.

It's definitely not a trick, it's a failure!

However, things on the battlefield are changing rapidly, and when Liu Jingyao felt that something was wrong, it was too late to stop it, and after a row of muskets rang out, dozens of Jianyu fell to the ground.

Then he saw that the captive people, who had lost these restraints, began to disarray. Originally, Yu Guozhen's attack made these captured people stir, and now dozens of people around them have been killed, which is equivalent to a long opening of the heart, these people are tied by long ropes, and suddenly someone took the lead and dragged everyone to this side.

As soon as the people were in chaos, they brought Jian's prisoners into chaos, and the long ropes that tied the people were originally a means for Jianyu to prevent the people from escaping, but now they have become a tripping rope, forcing Jianyu's follow-up troops to not be able to keep up immediately!

"Shoot at the nearest target!" Yu Guozhen ordered.

The tiger guards happened to change their guns at this time, and they aimed at the two Niu Lu who were already approaching rapidly, because of the chaos of the people, these two years were separated from the Jianyu main formation, and their attack became the most unfavorable tactic to add oil!

Liu Jinghui swallowed his saliva, and looked at Yu Guozhen's gaze becoming a little strange.

All this should be in Yu Guozhen's calculations, but doesn't he know that doing so ...... Will there be a lot of casualties among the people?

Under the critical situation, Jianyu will not care about these chaotic people blocking the road, they will either drive horses and trample, or wield knives and slash and kill, and they will inevitably open up a way to meet their own side in the flesh and blood of the people!

Yu Guozhen...... When calculating, did you think of this? With his ingenuity, he must have thought of it, and he did not hesitate to sacrifice these chaotic people?

For Yu Guozhen, this is a forced choice.

If you want to rescue at least 100,000 people, it is difficult to avoid casualties, and even when attacking the guards Jianjiao, the stray bullets of the tiger guards also caused casualties among the people. But in the face of the situation that the enemy is strong and I am weak, Yu Guozhen even bet the teaching group into it!

Even if Yu Guozhen now has an army of 100,000 in his hands, he can't stop Jianyu from killing the people, and if he wants to save more people, he must be hard-hearted to some people.

As the Tiger Guard switched the target for the second time, the Jianyu, who had already rushed to the foot of the mountain, fell down one after another. Yu Guozhen chose the place of ambush, which was less than four miles from the Lengkou Pass, and the official road twisted into the pass from the mountains on both sides, and the handsome banner of Jianyu stood on the mountain ridge in the northwest of the official road, while Yu Guozhen occupied the southeast mountain range. The entire Jianyu team is like a long snake, and the artillery battalion is seven inches of this long snake, and under the sudden attack, it is a veteran Jianyu like Yanguli, and he can't help but sigh secretly.

This timing is really just right!

The corners of his eyes twitched slightly, and Yanguli roared: "Tan Tai! ”

Tan Tai, who was looking at the scene in front of him in amazement, came back to his senses, thinking that he was even slower than his brother, who was over sixty years old, and he couldn't help but feel a little ashamed: "Brother! ”

"I'll give you a bull record, you go down and gather the soldiers and horses, take the artillery camp back, and open the road. If the dead eunuch in the cold pass dares to make a move, he will tear down the pass for me! ”

At this moment, Yanguli felt that he was young again, as if he had returned to the scene when he was in command of the battle under the Great Khan Nurhachi.

"Okay!" Tan Tai excitedly took off his helmet and was about to rush down, but was stopped by Yanguli again.

"Put on your helmet, Akito's musket is sharp!"

Tan Tai put the helmet back on and shouted wildly: "Baturu, Baturu!" ”

The Niu Lu he nodded to immediately shouted "Baturu", and followed him like a torrent, leaking down the hillside.

Their goal was to target the artillery battalion under Lengkou Pass.

There are artillery cannons on the cold pass, if someone is in charge at this juncture and puts a few cannons at Jianyu, it can at least produce a great deterrent, so that Jianyu does not dare to be so rampant. But now, it's still quiet when the cold mouth is closed!

"Sitku, you idiot, have you seen it, that banner is Gushan Ezhen Tan Tai's! He's coming, he's going to tear that new master of yours to pieces and eat it! ”

Morgeng glared at Sitku and pointed to the banner that was leading a gray torrent towards the cold mouth. Tan Tainai is a fierce general in the Mesozoic Era, the eighth year of Tiancong, that is, the year before last, he invaded the Ming Dynasty with Huang Taiji, took the lead in destroying the border wall and conquering Baoan Prefecture, and was therefore promoted to Baya Lazhangjing. Later, he was dismissed for some reason, and he was reinstated to the post of Gushan Ezhen in the headquarters, but in the hearts of these prisoners, his reputation was not reduced because of this!

"That's impossible, Tan Tai will hit his head and bleed!" Satku tugged at Morgeng's forehead, and the two of them shrank in a rock, shooting stray bullets and arrows flying around: "Brother, you haven't seen the power of my master, and soon you will ......"

What did Sitku say next, but Morgeng didn't hear it, because the earth-shattering cannon sounded, it was the eight cannons of the artillery battalion, and it began to roar at the same time!

After Jianlu got Kong Youde and Shang Kexi and the Han Dynasty to annihilate the traitors, they began to imitate artillery, and the craftsmen held hostage by Kong, Shang and others were the skilled craftsmen who had followed Sun Yuanhua, one of the best firearms masters in the late Ming Dynasty, for a long time. After Jianlu got this group of craftsmen, they even overwhelmed the Ming Dynasty in artillery - if it weren't for this, how could Jianguo later break through the fortified city one after another!

Zhang Zheng always remembered that Yu Guozhen said that for a long time in the future, artillery will be the king of land and naval warfare, and the key to the use of artillery in land warfare is to concentrate more artillery than the opponent, destroy the opponent's artillery first, and then use artillery to defeat the infantry and harvest the opponent's surname without resistance!

Even in the era of solid bullets, the concentrated use of artillery can still produce unparalleled deterrence. Therefore, after Zhang Zheng finished reloading, he immediately gave the order to fire!

Eight artillery pieces bombarded at the same time, the earth shook, and in the cold pass, Gao Qiqian, who had just run to the city ladder, felt that his body was shaking and shaking, and he couldn't stand steadily. He was shocked and angry: "Whoever is shooting cannons, who is firing cannons!" ”

"It's not our artillery, it's the city, the city!" Cui Bingde couldn't help but roar: "If we open fire, then ......"

Speaking of this, Cui Bingde couldn't say any more, Gao Qiqian's whole person was already soft on the ground, trembling all over: "It's over, it's over, it really annoyed Jianyu, they attacked the city, it's over...... You stupid shit, you've killed me! ”

"Waste?" Cui Bingde's hand on the saber was almost uncontrollable, and this dead eunuch still dared to say that they were waste?

But when he thought of the emperor standing behind this eunuch who was in the middle of the ninefold, thinking of the generals and supervisors who had been cut off over the years, and thinking of his own family, Cui Bingde turned his anger into a sigh.

This great Ming with many disasters and many difficulties, many grievances and many misfortunes...... But there is no room for those who do practical things!

He ignored Gao Qiqian and walked up to the castle tower on his own.

As far as the eye can see, just below the city, a team of people wearing Jianyu costumes set up cannons, but the muzzles of the cannons are not aimed at the cold pass, but at the pass!

Around them, there were corpses in one place, and in the distance, there were even more corpses, and most of these corpses were Jianyu!

"What's going on?" Cui Bingde has also been practicing martial arts for many years, and when he saw that something was wrong, he immediately asked.

"Yes...... It's ......"

The officers and soldiers at the head of the city trembled and tried to answer, but at this moment, they saw a flag suddenly erected on the top of the hill about a few miles away from the city pass.

Far away, the flag was only a small piece, but the fiery red color, above the gray hills, seemed to raise a torch.

"Tiger Guard Banner, that's Tiger Guard Banner!" The people under the city who were suspected of being prisoners screamed in surprise.

"Tiger Guard?" Cui Bingde was a little surprised.

"That's Gongzi raised the battle flag, he was afraid of the pressure on our side, so he raised his own battle flag!" Zhang Zheng saw that the direction of the banner was where Yu Guozhen's main formation was, and he understood after just a little thought: "Brothers, this is the Tiger Guard Battle Flag raised for us!" ”

"Wan Sheng! Wansheng! Wansheng! ”

Less than 500 people shouted in unison, although the number was small, but the flying pride broke through the sky!
