Then divide 400 musketeers to climb the mountains on both sides of Huyukou, and at the same time let these musketeers carry twelve Shenwei cannons up, six on each side, the cannon position is in the middle of Huyukou, our Shenwei artillery has a range of four miles, so it can attack any corner in Huyukou.

And I took the cavalry team to make a detour fifty miles away from Baiyangkou, and then went out of Baiyangkou, and went straight to Shanghuyukou, and blocked all these Tartars in Huyukou.

As long as my signal is fired, the artillery on the mountains on both sides of the arrangement will start to bombard, as long as the Mongolian Tatars can't break out of this Huyukou Gorge, our Shenwei artillery will also kill him, not to mention our musketeers above.

――Do you have any questions? ”

Shen Lian's mind was the most active, and after listening to Yang Tingjian's arrangement, he thought about it for a while and said:

"My lord, the main firepower of our Tartars in Huyukou is this Shenwei cannon, why don't we transport twenty-four Shenwei cannons to the mountains on both sides of Huyukou, and increase the number of musketeers to assist in the transportation to six hundred.

We only left one hoplite team and half a musket team at Xiahuyukou, as well as twelve Shenwei cannons. ”

Yang Tingjian was still very satisfied with Shen Lian's tactical arrangement, Shen Lian's arrangement would undoubtedly increase the firepower on both sides of Huyukou a lot, but the premise was that the remnants of the wall under Huyukou must block the cavalry of the Mongol Tatars. ”

Yang Tingjian looked at Shen Lian with great satisfaction and said:

"Yes, I have no opinion on your arrangement, but how do you defend this Huyu Pass, let's talk about it."

Yang Tingjian should give full play to the subjective initiative of his generals and not rely on him to make ideas everywhere.

Shen Lian raised his voice lightly and said triumphantly about his plans:

"My lord, you see that although the ruined wall is only two meters high, it is full of rocks, we can build a one-meter-two breastwork on the ruined wall in a very short time, and the height difference of the entire ruined city is more than three meters high, and the cavalry of the Mongol Tartars cannot cross such a line of defense under any circumstances.

Then two of our hoplites with a musketeer were placed behind the breastwork. The halberds of the hoplites stabbed the enemies who tried to attack with the ants, and the musketeers could calmly shoot the enemy, and the artillery we arranged on the high hills on both sides and behind the ruined cities could completely bombard the Mongol Tartars on their backs.

My lord, you see how it is. ”

Yang Tingjian is very satisfied, Shen Lian does have the talent to command the army, but this kid is easy to get carried away, and he can't get used to his problem:

"Well, it can be arranged in this way, if this officer asks you to command the defensive battle of Huyukou, do you dare to guarantee that you will not be broken through your defense line by the Mongol Tatars,

When Shen Lian heard this, he snapped, put his feet together and said loudly:

"Guaranteed to get the job done."

"Good...... That Shen Lian commanded the Huyukou defensive battle, and Lu Jianxing was responsible for the command on the high mountains on both sides,...... Now let's start building the breastwork! I took the cavalry and went first. ”

Soon, the whole convoy was busy again, and thousands of soldiers, led by their commanders, began to rush to their posts, building breastworks, carrying stones, and transporting Shenwei artillery up the mountain.

The total weight of Shenwei artillery is more than 900 catties, and it can also be divided into three parts: cannon barrel, sub-gun, and gun carriage, but even so, a cannon barrel is nearly 300 catties, and it takes four soldiers to take off the armor of the whole body, and then lift and drag it to carry it to the mountain little by little.

The sound of the horn of "sigh" resounded through the mouth of Xiahuyu, and Lu Jianxing also took a few of his own soldiers to the upper post to find a gun position, which must be in the middle and not deviate too far, otherwise it would not be able to attack the entire valley.

Fortunately, the Shenwei artillery has a frame, as long as the ground is not too steep, and the ground can be placed slightly flat. The high mountains on both sides of Huyukou are very strange, the rock mass from the valley to the upper hill is very steep, the slope is almost fifty or sixty degrees, even if people use both hands and feet, it is not easy to climb.

And the terrain on the hill is not rocky, it is basically a flat dam, now Lu Jianxing is relieved, as long as the artillery is transported to the hill, the gun carriage can be assembled immediately, and then let the four soldiers drag it away.

As for the ammunition, it had to be carried by men and horses, but fortunately the path up the hill was barely passable for horses, and the sappers were a little leveled, so that the soldiers could lead the horses carrying the ammunition up the hill.

An hour later, there was a violent shaking sound on the ground, and the breastwork was only half a meter high, and the artillery on the hills on both sides was not in place, it was too late, Shen Lian asked all the soldiers to stop the construction and immediately lined up on the remnant city.

The remnant wall of the entire Xiahuyukou is about a thousand meters, and there are more than 1,600 people in Shen Lian's hands, so the troops in Shen Lian's hands are very tight.

Shen Lian didn't dare to hold it up, so he sandwiched one musketeer between two hoplites, all of whom were behind a half-meter-high breastop, and then left three hundred hoplites and two hundred musketeers as reserves. On the issue of reserve troops, Yang Tingjian has emphasized many times that sufficient reserve troops must be left in any battle to cope with sudden situations.

The Mongolian cavalry came so fast, just now they only felt the violent shaking of the ground, and soon the dust that covered the sky and the sun rose in the Huyu Gorge, and then countless small black dots appeared in the field of vision.

Shen Lian had already requisitioned Yang Tingjian's command vehicle, which was less than two meters away from the remnant wall, and under the command vehicle were more than 500 reserve troops.

Shen Lian secretly exclaimed, this Tartar came so quickly, fortunately, Shen Lian had already arranged the troops properly. Shen Lian turned his head to look at the mountain road on both sides, the way up the mountain was behind the remnant wall, there was no need to worry about the Tartar attack, but the speed of transporting the artillery was too slow, only a few artillery pieces were transported, and the artillery on the hills on both sides could not help Shen Lian, and now he could only rely on Shen Lian to hold on alone.

The sound of ......the horse's hooves was deafening, and the ground trembled violently, Shen Lian looked at the oncoming Mongolian cavalry with the telescope in his hand, and couldn't help but burst out with a foul word:

"Damn, there are a lot of Mongolian Tartars, that's seven or eight thousand!"

The sound of horses' hooves shook the heavens and the earth, and the thousands of horses galloped, but the earth shook the mountains, although the new army of Jinyi Wei had received very strict training and had just experienced a one-sided victory, but it would not collapse in front of the Mongol Tartars.

But everyone is still very nervous, the momentum of the galloping of thousands of horses and thousands of ragged and charging homeless people are not the same at all, the galloping of ten thousand horses is earth-shattering, as if the iron hooves between heaven and earth are crushed.

As long as the discipline is not strict, many troops will collapse under the charge of the enemy cavalry, why the Ming army can not beat the Manchu cavalry, that is, they cannot maintain the formation under the iron hooves of the Manchu cavalry, because they cannot overcome the fear in their hearts.
