"That's going to be backed?" Jiang Bin grinned, unable to understand what was happening in front of him. 【Reading.com】

Looking at the menacing appearance of the soldiers and horses in Jizhen, he originally thought that there would be a bloody battle, but after the Shenji Battalion fired a round in turn, the enemy actually retreated, and it was still a rout! If it weren't for the lack of manpower on his side, he would have chased him out directly, and also had an inverted bead curtain, and then made a contribution in one fell swoop.

"Brother Xie, could it be...... You brought the Shenji Battalion here in order to retreat from the enemy at this time? Ma Ang was even more amazed, perhaps out of professional habits, at this moment, in countless commentaries and romances, the clever bridge was hovering in his mind, and he who had not witnessed the Battle of the Forbidden City was completely shocked.

"Well, even if it's it." Xie Hong touched his chin and replied ambiguously.

Putting on a guard of honor is indeed part of his psychological warfare, and the problem of the Shenji Battalion can only be regarded as a crooked fight. Xie Hong brought the Shenji Battalion with him, thinking mainly about the future, not out of consideration for resisting the enemy.

He expected a possible attack, but his response was not the Divine Machine Battalion, but it didn't need to be said so clearly, maintaining a sense of mystery would also help boost morale, and by the way, it would be a way to kill two birds with one stone.

"Look at the time, it should be about the same, right?" Xie Hong glanced in the direction of the road without worry, then looked up at the sky, and saw that there was still a wisp of green smoke left in the blue sky, so he nodded.

"My lord, don't worry, this arrow is specially made by Mr. Zeng, it lasts for a long time, and you can see it clearly from a long distance, not to mention that we have launched several in a row, and you can see it clearly within a hundred and ten miles around."

Compared with the arrows used to transmit messages in the Green Forest Road, the cloud-piercing arrows of the Shenji Battalion are much more effective, and after Zeng Zheng's improvement, it is even more amazing, Lin Bai, that is, the first craftsman in the Xuanfu, saw that Xie Hong seemed to be worried, and he also stepped forward to explain.

"Hmm." Xie Hong bowed slightly. He is very well prepared, but he is not a god after all, communication in this era is not very convenient, before the end of the matter, there are always many variables, and accidents may occur, such as the rout of the soldiers and horses in Jizhen is what he did not expect, but this accident is more beneficial to him.

"Brother Xie, there is movement on the other side again." Xie Hong is thinking about the overall situation, but Jiang Bin has been paying full attention to the current situation. He could see clearly that the defeat just now did not cause much chaos, and the Jizhen side quickly gathered the rout and made new moves.

"Shield?" Xie Hong raised his eyes and looked at it, and the sight in his eyes made him slightly stunned, only to see the border army pushing a row of large wooden planks out, probably in a hurry, and did not prepare weapons such as iron shields, so he temporarily collected these door panels and other things from nearby to act as a shield array.

But this matter is a little strange, the cringe of the border army is not because of how strong the Shenji battalion is, Xie Hong brought out mainly artillery, and there are only five hundred firearms, if the other party is besieging from all sides, let alone a three-stage attack, it is difficult to guarantee even a salvo.

And the general's cannon is troublesome to set up, and it is even more troublesome to use, this is not a gun carriage in later generations, which can be mobilized at will. When erecting, you need to pile up an earthen platform, and then fix the gun body on the earthen platform, after erection, you can only shoot in one direction, except that the firing range can be adjusted by adjusting the angle of the muzzle, everything else cannot be changed.

Therefore, there is no need for a shield array or anything, if the border army can really muster up courage, then it is good to besiege from all sides, Xie Hong thinks that he still has a backhand, but he is not afraid, but it is always more effective than the shield array or something; And if they are afraid of their status as a chaplain and can't muster up the morale to attack, how much difference can there be if they have a shield array?

"It's an archer!" Jiang Bin was more familiar with the affairs of the battle array, and as soon as his mind turned around, he thought of the tricks that the other party might use, and after thinking about it, his face also changed greatly, and he exclaimed in surprise.

"Well, it's the archers." Xie Hong's eyesight was already good, and after being reminded by Jiang Bin, he immediately discovered the Xuanxu behind the shield array, and his face began to become solemn. In fact, in the beginning, the range of firearms was not much longer than that of bows and arrows, especially compared to infantry bows, which were used to throw arrows, and the effective range was longer than that of firearms.

Xie Hong knows very well that the border army in the Zhengde period is different from those in the late Ming Dynasty, in the late Ming Dynasty, those who can afford to hold a strong bow and wield a horse lance are the fierce generals who are one in a million; But during the Zhengde period, such people abound in the border army, and thousands of them can be selected from a single Xuanfu.

And the scale and important surname of Jizhen are still faintly above the Xuanfu, and it is not a problem to select one or two thousand strong archers among the 20,000 soldiers and horses. The border army did not dare to attack because of the identity of Qincha, but if the general urged directly in the array, it was no problem to cover the shooting with bows and arrows, after all, their side was a fixed target, and there was no room for maneuver at all.

"Brother Jiang, pass the order, let the non-combatants enter the carriage to hide, and the combatants use the car wall as a cover and each raise a shield for defense." Ordinary carriages definitely can't stop the strong bow, but most of Xie Hong's carriages are reinforced, with iron plates inside, and they also carry a lot of large shields used by the guards, so that they can be used to resist when they are attacked on the road.

"Got it, fortunately, Brother Xie is well prepared, otherwise he will really suffer today." Jiang Bin sighed very emotionally.

Xie Hong always said that he was prepared, he used to think that some measures were very wasteful, but today, when I look at it, it is really not a bad thing to prepare more, it may not be useful in ordinary times, but once it is used, it can save lives, I really have to admire.

"These can only be defended, today's situation is not good, if you want to retreat from the enemy, you have to rely on that last hand, I hope the monk is clever enough, otherwise it will be troublesome." Xie Hong didn't dare to relax at all, he made sufficient preparations, but if he wanted to solve the dilemma in front of him, he had to use that last trick, if the monk was too reckless and forgot, I am afraid the situation would be out of control.

"Don't worry, that guy looks reckless, but in fact he is a scheming man, with Brother Xie's orders first, and then he has been summoned by the scouts, he naturally knows what to do, and there will be no accidents." Jiang Bin grinned.

Among these brothers under him, the monk is the most similar to his surname, so he was left in the capital, although the current situation is a little complicated, but he is still confident that the other party will not mess things up. Of course, it's nothing if it's messed up, it's a big deal to fight, although there are many soldiers and horses in Jizhen, but the morale has been shaken, and the fight may not be lost.

"Hidden!"

As he was talking, Xie Hong suddenly heard the sound of the bowstring of "collapse, collapse", and then, he saw thousands of arrows flying up from behind the shield array, gathering into a black cloud in the air, making the sky dark, and then, the black cloud paused slightly in the air, and then pressed into the car wall without hesitation...... Xie Hong only felt that his body moved, and when he came back to his senses, he found that it was Scarface who was holding a shield with one hand and pulling himself with the other, although the situation was very tense, but he was smiling freely on his face: "And let them be proud first, and when they cry later, hum!" ”

...... "Hmph, I thought that there would be no way to put on a guard of honor?" This is Jizhen, and Lao Tzu's command is also the elite soldiers of the border town, not those old soldiers in Beijing! Wu Yu smiled and looked in the direction of the car wall, looking forward to the screams that were about to sound inside, for him, it was the precursor of soaring, and it was a major event that he had been looking forward to for decades.

The archers he transferred were the entire archer battalion, which belonged to the elite troops directly under the general army, and even if the Tartars met, most of them had to be avoided, far from being comparable to the archers in other troops.

If it weren't for the fact that he wanted to completely annihilate the other party in a short period of time, he didn't plan to bring out this army, you know, General Wen is very precious to this army, and if he is injured by the opponent's firearms, it will be a lot of trouble in the future.

It's just that now I can't care about it so much, and if I can't make contributions, then everything will be over. Based on Wu Yu's understanding of Xie Hong from rumors, the other party is a very grudgeful and ruthless character, he led a heavy army to besiege the other party, how could the other party not retaliate afterwards? Even Shangshu was killed, and the head of the nine sides was passed on, what is his small sub-guard general?

"Kill, don't leave a single one! Don't stop, let go of the arrows! Keep put! Wu Yu roared viciously, urging the archers around him to intensify their attacks.

The troops of the Bow and Arrow Battalion were also intimidated by Xie Hong's status as a chaplain, but General Wu was urging him, and they couldn't retreat. Looking at the appearance of the general gritting his teeth, as if he had a grudge against his father with Lord Qincha, if anyone is lazy, I am afraid that he will not be able to wait for the court to settle the account, and now he will be corrected by the general.

I have no choice but to follow the order, and I hope that the court will not be too many people when settling accounts. The archers prayed in their hearts as they shot arrows.

"General, something seems to be wrong...... Li Shoubei is the battalion officer of the bow and arrow battalion, and he is also an excellent archer, he saw and listened, and soon noticed the abnormality.

"What's wrong, isn't it ......" Wu Yu was on the rise, he was suddenly interrupted, and he was very unhappy, and when he was about to reprimand Li Shoubei, he was also stunned, it was indeed wrong!

More than a thousand archers had already fired several rounds of volleys, but apart from the sound of the bowstring flicking and the sound of arrows hitting the car and shield echoing on the battlefield, there was no movement at all, no screams, no groans, as if all the people in the chariot formation had died without a sound.

But he knew it was impossible. Although he couldn't see the specific situation in the car array, he could clearly see that there was a figure shaking behind the car wall, obviously it was not that the other party was dead, but that several rounds of arrow rain did not cause any damage at all.

"Evil Gate, too evil Gate......" After standing on the high platform again, Wu Yu finally saw clearly, the most evil gate is those carriages, the arrows can't break through the shell of the carriage at all, and the shield array inside is all set up dependent on the carriage, so these rounds of arrow rain have fully received the results they deserve.

"Order Li to garrison, let the bow battalion keep suppressed, Deng guerrilla, you take the general's personal soldiers as the leader, take advantage of the other party's inability to fight back, and kill the general!" Of course, Wu Yu refused to give up, he waved his arm vigorously and pointed at the car formation fiercely.

"Look, my lord, there is smoke and dust in the west, it's the cavalry, the cavalry of the brigade!" Deng Guerrilla was Wu Yu's confidant, but he did not carry out the order as neatly as before, but pointed to the West with a frightened face and exclaimed loudly.

"Where did the cavalry come from? Where did this cavalry come from? Wu Yu couldn't care about being angry, he looked in the direction pointed by Deng Guji, and was immediately shocked.

There was a lot of smoke and dust on the official road to the west, and it was obvious that a large group of cavalry was gradually accelerating, according to Wu Yu's experience, at least thousands of cavalry were required to form such a scale, and according to the opponent's mode of action, it was obviously still an elite cavalry.

Instead of increasing the speed of the horse to the limit at the beginning, they gradually accelerated, and when they reached the destination, the horse speed was just increased to the highest speed, and they started to charge. Such a tactical move is not something that ordinary cavalry can do, why did such a cavalry appear here? And it came with hostility, who the hell?

It's no wonder that Wu Yu was surprised, although there are also a lot of cavalry in Jizhen, most of them are scattered under the command of various generals and used as a personal team. Cavalry is not easy to raise, horses are very expensive, and there is a lot of food, but with the military salary allocated by the imperial court, it is indeed a bit insufficient.

If it weren't for the danger of the border town, which had to have some cavalry in order to fight against the Tartars, the generals of the border town were eager to remove the cavalry from the military column, how could they expand the scale and reach the scale in front of them? Besides, the garrison in the vicinity of Jizhen has been transferred a long time ago, so it can't appear here?

It will appear here, and it will be a formed cavalry, that is, the Tartars are the closest, but there is no beacon fire on the side wall, and it is obvious that it will not be the Tartars, so ...... Thinking of the Shenji Battalion that appeared in the Qincha Army, a thought flashed in Wu Yu's heart, wouldn't it be Xie Hong who transferred the 3,000 battalions out? Moreover, Xie Hong actually ambushed such a cavalry behind him, which is simply impossible to comment!

Is this considered well-prepared? Or is it a clever idea? Wu Yu was surprised and even more dazed.
