Chapter 211: Huang Taiji's Temptation

The Tartars climbed the city wall of Tianjin like a tide, and the arrows fell like raindrops in the sky, and the Qi family army still had half of the iron armor, and the general situation was that they were injured by arrows, and the guards of the courtyard, young and strong, were not wearing armor, and their casualties were the most severe.

No one retreated, they either threw down with a stone, or a few people carried a sassa wood and threw it down, and at any time someone fell to the ground with an arrow, and life was so short at this moment.

……

Yang Tingjian quietly waited for Jiannu's attack, and after Jiannu lined up the formation, he really started a tentative attack, and Huang Taiji took the lead in sending an armor thorn to attack. Huang Taiji is still relatively stable, and the hollow array of the Tiger Ben Army is a bit similar to the partial van formation, and Huang Taiji has also seen it.

The most important thing to attack this kind of hollow array musket formation is to be able to break through their formation, once this formation is chaotic, it will be the end of being directly slaughtered, and the rate of fire of the lone musketeer, in front of the cavalry, there is simply no power to fight back.

Although Huang Taiji had seen this formation, he still did not act recklessly, and tried to attack first.

Yang Tingjian stood on the command car, observing the changes in Jiannu's formation, and soon more than a thousand Jiannu cavalry rushed out of the big array, but Jiannu's main formation did not move at all, Yang Tingjian immediately understood Huang Taiji's tentative intention.

In order to dispel Huang Taiji's concerns, Yang Tingjian immediately grabbed the microphone of the walkie-talkie from the hand of the guards and shouted:

"Order, all the artillery of the phalanx must not be fired, and the three-stage shooting is changed to a two-stage shooting, remember, this is a tentative attack by Jiannu, don't scare Jiannu away from Lao Tzu, whoever scares away is responsible."

In the first formation of the Pinzi array, Jiannu came to his big hollow array. Chasing the order to hear Yang Tingjian's order that he couldn't scare Jiannu away, he was really in a dilemma, but he had to follow Yang Tingjian's order, if he really sent all his weapons to Jiannu's tentative cavalry, it was really possible to scare all Jiannu away.

"Pass my order, all artillery must not fire. The third row of muskets was withdrawn to the middle. ”

The herald hurriedly rode his war horse to convey the order in the empty array. Today, the Tiger Ben Army has an empty formation, about 5,000 people, 1,200 people on each side, divided into four rows, the first row is the halberd soldiers, the second, third, and fourth rows are the musketeers, and in the middle is 500 mobile troops and artillery.

This time, the empty formation of chasing life was in the front of the three rows, and although the Shenwei musket was a rear-loading flintlock pistol, it still needed to be fired every ten seconds. Two shots will certainly not have a continuous effect.

Jiannu's cavalry first jogged, and began to accelerate when they were five hundred meters away from the empty array, and the sound of horses' hooves suddenly became violent, and the first row of the chasing empty array was full of halberd soldiers, and a row of halberds pointed obliquely at the sky, and the halberds glowed with a little cold light under the sunlight.

When Jiannu galloped to two hundred meters, the Tiger Ben Army still did not shoot. At one hundred and fifty meters, the chaser also did not give the order to shoot. It's not that I'm afraid of scaring Jiannu away, so I chased my life until Jiannu entered a hundred meters before shooting.

At this time, Jiannu also began to throw, and Jiannu, who had finished releasing the arrows, did not rush into battle, but immediately ran around and back.

The sound of the arrow feather "swishing" through the air suddenly sounded, and the muskets of the Tiger Ben Army also responded with a "bang" at the same time.

"Ahh …… Hiss ......"

Twenty or thirty cavalrymen in front of Jiannu were under the salvo of three hundred Shenwei muskets. Suddenly, the person turned on his back, and even if the Jiannu who was hit was wearing cotton armor, he would blast out a hole with one shot, but Yang Tingjian added a conical steel nail to the Minnie lead bullet.

Once hit by this Mini lead bullet with a tapered steel spike, not only is the lead bullet the same armor-piercing ability as the original. The conical steel nail inside the front lead bullet, after hitting the target, will burst out of the lead bullet, continue to penetrate, and will rotate, so this steel nail mini bullet is more powerful.

The effect on the battlefield is the best proof, more than 20 Jiannu who rushed to the front, even people and horses, were all put to the ground, and the Jiannu who rushed in front were suddenly empty.

In the end, the two yellow flags were Huang Taiji's caretaker troops, and the Jiannu behind hurriedly turned the horse's head in the rapid charge, and the entire charging team turned at an angle of two hundred and ninety. Jiannu turned at a large angle and threw at the Tiger Benjun who were a hundred meters away.

"Bell...... Ahhhh ”

Hundreds of arrow feathers fell from the sky and then pierced into the formation of the Tiger Army, and immediately there was a clanging sound, mixed with the screams of the wounded soldiers of the Tiger Army.

It is true that the halberders of the Tiger Army wear full-body plate armor, but the musketeers only wear half-body light plate armor, and their lower body is just a few fast leather armor, which can only block the jumping arrows that bounce on the plate armor, but cannot defend against the arrows that are thrown at them.

Jiannu's projectile immediately injured more than a dozen musketeers in the lower body, and these wounded soldiers of the Tiger Ben Army could choose to continue the battle, or choose to retreat immediately for treatment, but now no one retreated for treatment, because there were many recruits, everyone was nervous, and as soon as the wounded moved around in the formation, it was easy to cause confusion in the formation.

The musketeers of the second row of the Tiger Ben Army immediately returned the color to Jiannu, and the three hundred muskets fired another volley at the Jiannu who were thrown in front of the formation, and the "bang" gunfire suddenly sounded, and then the Jiannu who turned and threw in front of the formation was immediately killed dozens of people, and the power of the Shenwei musket was really not something that Jiannu's cotton armor could contend with.

After the two rows of muskets were fired, there was a shooting fault, the muskets in the first row were still being loaded nervously, but the arrow feathers thrown by Jiannu were endless, and from time to time there were screams from the soldiers of the Tiger Ben Army, and a few soldiers of the Tiger Ben Army who were seriously injured were immediately helped down, and the reserve musketeers immediately stepped forward to fill the vacancy.

A little musket rang out again, and the "whooshing" lead bullet hit Jiannu who was running in front of the formation like a violent wind and rain, and Jiannu screamed again and again, and dozens of Jiannu immediately went to see Changshengtian. And the smoke of gunpowder over the formation of the Tiger Ben Army has affected the line of sight, but fortunately, the breeze is blowing, and you can barely see the figure of Jiannu clearly.

Huang Taiji has been observing this tentative attack with the monocular in his hand, and in such a short period of time, his side has lost more than 100 elite cavalry, which makes Huang Taiji's heart like a knife.

The two yellow flags are the guarantee of his imperial throne, once he loses too much, it is likely that the imperial throne is not guaranteed, Jiannu is the strong one, there is no family affection at all, Huang Taiji is unwilling to use his precious two yellow flags to attack the empty array of the tiger army. Huang Taiji planned to change his tactics, and he had to wait for the Tiger Ben Army to take the initiative to attack.

Huang Taiji's idea is also reasonable, the huge infantry phalanx, once moved, the formation will definitely be a little scattered, and the formation will be chaotic, which is the opportunity of Huang Taiji.

Huang Taiji is so sure that the Tiger Ben Army will take the initiative to attack? The Tiger Ben army rushed to Yingzhou from Tongzhou, a few hundred miles away, and it was impossible for him to be here with him, so Huang Taiji concluded that Yang Tingjian would take the initiative to attack after he stopped attacking.
