Chapter 432: The Outer Army Gradually Closing In
"Chief soldier, do you mean to hit them directly?" Zhang Huichang suddenly became interested, why didn't he want to go out of the camp to fight back, but he couldn't stand the cavalry outside, and they only had less than 200 war horses.
"Of course, I can't afford to lose that person in a small fight, give me an order, immediately levy five hundred young people, and distribute our surplus weapons and firearms, each with more than one hundred and twenty people, anyway, the Mongolian Tartar archery team can't come up, they can make do with the earthen wall, and the main force of the replaced battalions is ready to counterattack at any time, but the northwest two gates, as long as the earth cart of the Tartar is burned, it will be returned immediately!"
The veins in Zheng Jianjun's mind gradually became clearer, and then continued, "I estimate that after all the reserves are pulled up, it is more than enough for us to gather more than 4,000 people, the four earthen walls are divided into two thousand men and horses, the northwest second gate is five or six hundred people enough to counterattack, and the south gate is more than 400 people to contain it, we directly use the four hundred people of the personal guard here, your battalion let the first of the fifth battalion come up to take over the earthen wall, and then take all the main forces of your first capital into battle, and I will assign you another 200 people,"
"Then the four hundred people of the pro-guard are in front, heavy armor assault, if the Tartar soldiers are scattered, we will immediately return to the camp, if we dare to return to the body to engage in the battle, then we will not be polite, directly eat this arrogant enemy, all for me to remember, start to be fierce, to be fast, to be ruthless! In addition, you personally lead the team out of the camp, and when you see that the drums on my earthen wall do not stop, you are not allowed to retreat half a step, if the drums stop, you are not allowed to move forward, and if you see my red flag fluttering, you will immediately retreat into the camp, and with our firearms and artillery reinforcements, the Mongol Tartars will not be able to catch up with you.

"Oh, please rest assured, the last general will not disgrace the Qin army, if you are defeated, just ask the last general to take the head away." Zhang Huichang finally won such an opportunity, where was he willing to let it, so he glanced at Zhou Shiqi, who was going with him, only smiled and nodded, and then went down to order troops with confidence.
"Brothers, listen to me, now is the time for us to serve His Royal Highness the King of Qin, think about your wives and children, they are all the land that His Royal Highness the King of Qin has given to your family, not only so that you don't have to endure hunger anymore, but also have enough food to eat, a house to live in, and land to plant, do we all have hope?" Before the battle, the final mobilization began, and all the supervisors and instructors in each battalion went into battle, after all, this was a battle to the death, and not everyone could come back alive, in order to dispel their doubts, it was necessary to carry out pre-war mobilization and encouragement.
"Think about it, how His Royal Highness King Qin usually treats you, let you eat and drink enough every day, and meat, is this the day before? All touch their conscience and ask themselves, the soldier dies for his confidant, the country raises soldiers for a thousand days and uses soldiers for a while, and now it's time for us to fight to the death, all listen to me, behead one level, reward five taels of silver, behead three bodies, merit transfer to the first class, behead five levels, directly seal the official, the war wounded, the king of Qin will arrange for you to live in old age, die in battle, give 30 taels of silver at home, divide 15 acres of land, dare to escape from the camp, and kill on the spot! ”
This kind of necessary military regulations is very necessary, because no matter how preferential treatment is given to soldiers, when it comes to really desperate efforts, people's nature still wants to live, if there is no punishment in the eyes, it is likely that someone will desert, and on the battlefield, this kind of behavior does not only affect one person, if you run too much, the rest of the people have a big gap in their hearts, which will lead to the overall collapse, so in any case, it is necessary to supervise the team.
"Come out now, cowards, and do not drag your brothers down, for if you flee, you will not only be killed, but you will not have a penny of money in your family, so why should you give your own lives? Now I allow you to take off your armor and stand in front of you, and I will spare you from dying, and let you disarm and return to the field. Stand up for me! When the supervisor said almost, Zhang Huichang came out and shouted loudly.
"Nope!" A soldier felt such a tense and exciting atmosphere, and he didn't know why he shouted this sentence, and suddenly all the soldiers around him were infected by this sentence, and they also shouted out with all their strength.
"That's good, look at me, now I'm all successful and right, but that's it, I'm still willing to fight with my brothers, even if it's death, we have to die together, it's all knocked out for me, I don't retreat, whoever dares to retreat will kill whoever comes, do you understand?" Zhang Huichang thumped his armor hard and shouted this sentence vigorously.
"Got it!" There were four hundred dead soldiers below, now frantically holding the firearms in their hands, and carrying bright broadswords and spears on their backs.
"Serve the King of Qin and kill the thief~!" When the supervising officer who was deeply infected on the side of the Ming army, he had never seen a battalion like Zhang Huichang, what a big official, he was enough to command 1,500 soldiers, and he was a general of the third grade in the Ming court, and he actually went into battle to kill the thief in person, just rushed to this, he had to fight to the death for the Qin army.
"Serve the King of Qin and kill the thief~!" As a result, the sound of the earth-shattering roar sounded instantly, and the morale of the entire team reached its peak.
"Do you understand? His Royal Highness the King of Qin has raised you with silver and grain, so that today, you will all come with me and set off together! "In the station of the pro-guards, a full 380 heroes are also making the final mobilization, but on the side of the pro-guards, there is no need for too many words, after all, the daily ideological education here has never been cut off, and Zhou Shiqi even needs to climb high and shout, these heroes who are preparing day and night are ready to die with him.
"Brothers, you are all men who have been armed with guns, raised spears and knives in the Tuntian camp, and suppressed bandits in the local area, I won't say much else, each of you will take a spear later, carry a fire pot and light a torch, and after the soldiers of the Qin army in front rush out, you will immediately follow and set fire to their wheelbarrows for me, and those who died in battle will be compensated according to the casualties of the Qin army, and your family, His Royal Highness the King of Qin will support you for a lifetime!" The supervision of the capital responsible for the mobilization of the Minfu team is also unambiguous, and the enthusiasm of these people has been mobilized in a few words, fortunately, these Minfu who have been temporarily recruited are equivalent to the reserves of the Qin army, and without too much urging, these people took the initiative to come up and start receiving equipment.
"Well, the Tartars outside the camp have already begun to push the wooden carts up, give the order to go down, all the artillery fire three bullets each, and then open the camp gate to attack." Zheng Jianjun, who was standing on the earthen wall, sneered and looked at the Tartars below who were trying to rely on earth-carts to attack the city, and loudly issued military orders.
"The commander-in-chief has an order, all the artillery fires three times, and then open the camp gate to kill the enemy~!" Several loud heralds immediately opened their mouths and shouted, and these few orders were immediately transmitted rapidly in the camp, and the dead soldiers who were waiting for the last opportunity near the four gates each held their breath, ready to wait for the artillery attack.
"Puff~Puff~!" With the successive fire of eight guns on the four earthen walls, the whole battlefield suddenly entered a solemn atmosphere, but this time the Mongolian Tatars learned shrewdly, many of their cavalry turned over and dismounted, and quietly followed behind the earthen cart, after all, the target of the war horse was too conspicuous, once it was aimed by a firearm, it was either dead or wounded.
After watching the iron nails and fragments splashed by the artillery, blocked by the sand and gravel on the earth-wheel, even if a few unlucky eggs were hit, they were immediately dragged down, so the rest of the people finally breathed a sigh of relief, as long as they did not resist the firearms and artillery attacks of the Qin army, then they could touch the earth wall and climb with a ladder, and they could fight face-to-face.
Of course, due to the rush of time, they didn't even notice that the Qin army hidden on the opposite side was already not defending the earthen wall.
"Haha~ This time, I'm going to rush in and kill all the Southern Barbarians, the earthcha is good, you see, their artillery can't hit our soldiers at all, it's really good!" Ulan Bari laughed, this time, Halbara also specially sent him a thousand centurions of his own tribe, and gathered two remnants of the centurion and handed them to him, a full two thousand men and horses at the east gate to prepare for a general attack,
"Yes, this time the Southern Barbarians will definitely not be able to escape." Although the other commander was not very obedient to his military orders, it was now possible to break the Qin army's camp, and under the temptation of the thought that he could loot 50,000 stone of military rations, any contradictions were temporarily suppressed.
"Let the warriors all go up, and try to defeat them at once, you see, there are at most three or four hundred people on the earthen wall, and the earthen wall is not high, we can put 1,300 or four hundred warriors on foot at a time, enough to consume them." Ulan Bari was quite pointed, but he didn't know that the counterattack force of the Qin army was already in place.
On the eastern front, a cavalry brigade of the Qin army, which was now supported by two battalions of infantry from the north and south, was preparing to advance in a roundabout northwest direction so that there would be cavalry blocking the retreat of the Mongol Tatars.
To the south, another cavalry brigade, 5,000 men had begun to move rapidly north to prepare for battle, and its vanguard scouts had begun to hunt the Mongol Tartar scouts one by one with dense crossbow formations, striving for concealment.
To the west, two elite infantry battalions following closely behind the Minfu team, using the same method as the Mongol Tatars, were slowly approaching the central battlefield with chariots in front.
And in the north, there are four main infantry battalions, after converging Chen Mingquan, who has been fighting guerrillas, and the two are about 700 cavalry, they also quickly went south, ready to go straight to the battlefield, and now is the last opportunity for the Mongol Tartars who are preparing for a decisive battle, once they are exhausted in the offensive and defensive battles, then everything is doomed!
