Chapter 1538 Dogs Are Not as Good as Dogs

Tong Yangzhen's trick is too vicious. said that he was vicious, but not for the Ming army, but for his own subordinates of the Han army. Just now, the more than 200 people were wiped out, and now there are only more than 20 people in a small team, wouldn't it be even more in vain to send them to death?

But Tong Yangzhen doesn't care about the life or death of these people, his goal is to use these people as targets, one is to consume as much ammunition as possible of the Ming army, and the other is to keep the Ming army in a tense state all the time and cannot rest. As for these 3,000 recruits, it doesn't matter if they die, anyway, there are still a large number of Han people in Liaodong, and they will be recruited from among these people.

However, in order to let the Ming army consume more ammunition, Tong Yangzhen finally added one piece of equipment to these traitors: wooden planks. These planks were improvised by the Han Army Banner from nearby villages, and they were nothing more than door panels, bed boards, and the like. The residents of these villages are also Han Chinese, but they did not leave when the Ming army withdrew to Shanhaiguan last year, and now they have become slaves of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

Tong Yangzhen asked the recruits to hold a wooden board as a shield in one hand and a knife in the other, so that when the Ming army was shooting, they could block it. In fact, he also knew that the planks were not very forbidden, but as long as he could consume more ammunition from the Ming army, he couldn't control it so much.

The Ming army was still the old tactic, first using the flint Lumi long-range sniper, and when they got close, they dispatched the bird gunners to annihilate the enemy with three shots. Not to mention, there is a plank, which is stronger than no plank, the penetration of lead bullet is not strong, and the thicker plank cannot be broken with only one shot. The traitors huddled behind the plank, not so much attacking as shrinking turtles.

The Ming army's bird gunners were still fighting vigorously at first, but when they saw that the enemy was so cowardly, they no longer launched a salvo, but lined up and waited, so that the snipers behind them, as well as those with special marksmanship in each company and platoon, focused on the parts that the enemy could not cover with wooden planks, such as the head and feet.

In this way, the gunfire is very sparse, but the hit rate is greatly improved, and basically for every shot, a traitor is shot. Of course, those who hit the head will be killed immediately, and those who hit the legs and feet will not die, but with the power of lead bullets, the flesh and blood will be blurred and the flesh and bones will be rotten, and even if the person can escape back, he will have to be disabled for life.

Seeing that the situation was not good, these traitors simply gathered all the planks together, blocked the front of them tightly, and remained motionless, for fear of exposing the gaps and letting lead bullet in. The snipers of the Ming army can't hit them now, but is this still called an attack? The officers and men of the Ming army were all amused by laughter. Tong Yangzhen, who was watching the battle from behind, was not ashamed, but proud, and smiled left and right: "Very good, this is called courage and resourcefulness!" Several of his generals didn't answer the question, and even they couldn't stand it, Tong Yang was really extremely shameless.

But even so, the Ming army did not let go of these traitors who were sent to death. The guns were gone, and the artillery began to speak again. Anyway, the traitors didn't move, and the gunners were happy to carefully calculate the shooting yuan, and only fired when they couldn't be more accurate. As soon as the cannon went down, no matter how thick the planks were, the traitors were stuck in a heap, just so that the shells could exert their maximum lethality. The "plank array" fell apart, and the traitor who was lucky enough not to die hurriedly turned around and fled, at this time the Ming army's bird guns fired again, because the targets were relatively few, they were all a few guns to hit one, so where to run? Not long after, a small team, twenty-five traitors, all went to the Senluo Hall to report.

The soldiers of the Han army with yellow flags in the back saw it clearly, and they were all frightened. Tong Yangzhen was happy instead, pinched his fingers and calculated: "The artillery of the Ming army fired one shot, and the bird gun had to shoot at least two or three hundred shots, right?" How much ammunition can they have? According to this calculation, before the master's large army came, the ammunition of the Ming army could be almost consumed. Come on, just fight like this, and the next team will continue to give me up! ”

Tong Yangzhen's subordinates were all chilled when they heard this, and secretly thought that they didn't treat us as human beings at all, and they were not even as good as dogs! The hunting dog helps the owner hunt, and the owner also knows that he cherishes the life of the dog, and when he encounters a powerful prey, he will not let the hunting dog go on casually! However, since he has chosen the path of traitors, it is too late to think or say anything at this time, so he can only run all the way to the dark. As for whether he can save his life, it depends on his luck!

As for Tong Yangzhen, he didn't care what his subordinates thought at all. He was very satisfied with the current situation of the battle, because his Han army with yellow flags had completely surrounded the Ming army. Although they couldn't get in for a while, the Ming army had no intention of breaking through, that is, these Ming troops had been cut off from the outside world.

Isolated from nature, it is impossible to replenish food, grass and ammunition, Tong Yang really wants me to let you fight openly, how many days can you fight? Once the ammunition is exhausted, the Ming army will not have any advantage, not to mention the Eight Banners elite cavalry of the Manchu master, even the troops under him, he can also fight the Ming army out.

Therefore, Tong Yangzhen was not in a hurry at all, and still drove small teams of traitors to go up and send them to death. At that time, the reaction of the Ming army was all he expected: as long as there was a charge from the Qing army, guns and cannons would be fired on the opposite side. At first, Tong Yangzhen watched the battle in person, but then he didn't bother to watch it, anyway, a batch of people died when they went up, and none of them came back alive, and there was nothing to see. He asked the Chinese army to count the number of times the Ming army fired and fired guns, and he simply went to the back to sleep.

In this way, the battle lasted from early morning to dusk, and Ao Bai hurried from Ningyuan. He was appointed by Hauge as the vanguard general of the partial division this time, and he first led a thousand light cavalry to the battlefield, and Hauge's main army would arrive one after another.

Ao Bai is a general with a yellow flag, and Tong Yangzhen is the commander of the Han army with a yellow flag, and the two of them are both personal servants of the emperor and the master of the yellow flag and Huang Taiji, and they should be regarded as colleagues, and the position of "Dutong" is higher. But in fact, the Han people were not only the slaves of the Manchu nobles, but also could not hold their heads up in front of ordinary Manchus, and it is not an exaggeration to describe them as "slaves of slaves". Ao Bai is unruly, Tong Yangzhen has always been afraid of him, when he heard that he was coming, he hurriedly went out of the camp and knelt down to greet him, and said flatteringly: "The last general welcomes the general!" ”

Ao Bai didn't even look at Tong Yangzhen, and asked coldly as he hurriedly walked inside: "How was the battle?" ”

"Back to the general, our army is progressing well!" Tong Yangzhen thought that he had made a meritorious service, and he was busy reporting to Aobai how he completely surrounded the Ming army, how he used a small group of soldiers to take turns to feint against the Ming army, how the Ming army was fooled, and how much ammunition was consumed... He shook his head and spitted stars, thinking that this time Lord Ao Bai should look at himself differently.

Unexpectedly, Ao Bai looked in front of the formation for a while, shook his hand coldly and slapped Tong Yangzhen, and roared angrily: "Bastard! You fool, don't you see what the Ming army is doing! ”
