Section 195 Onslaught
But everyone else hasn't figured it out yet.
Yang Chao explained in detail, not that Yang Chao wanted to show off his IQ, but hoped to guide these officers to think more.
Yang Chao said: "Last night, it was clear that he was here to send him to death, but the other party kept coming to snatch the corpse, and there was only one purpose, that is, to interfere with our rest." It's a pity that the captives are completely worried, even if they don't come, we can't rest well. ”
The soldiers were too excited, the captives just didn't use this kind of harassment tactics, and Yang Chao's soldiers couldn't sleep well.
Everyone nodded, and a few of the officers were still embarrassed, because they hadn't slept all night last night, and they were still excited.
Yang Chao continued: "But it's not their harassment that is terrifying, do you know what to worry about? ”
Everyone shook their heads.
Yang Chao inspired: "Think about it, why don't they want us to have a good rest? ”
At this time, combined with what Yang Chao just said, someone replied tentatively: "The captives are coming to attack?" ”
Yang Chao nodded: "That's right." Remember, on the battlefield, your enemies are always much smarter than you think. I also thought that the other party was robbing the corpse or sending it to death, but I thought that the other party didn't let me rest well in order to harass us. The other party must have wanted to attack today after harassing them all night, because there was no good way to attack them except to attack them. And if you want to attack, then let's be tired, naturally the best way. ”
The captives are old soldiers, and there is not a year in Liaodong that they do not fight with the Guanning army, not only with the Guanning army, but also to fight the Mongols, the Koreans, to hunt in the mountains and forests, to catch savages, although it is impossible for every captive soldier to be an elite of a hundred battles, but at least their officers are extremely rich in combat experience.
"Hmph, this little trick, Lao Tzu just doesn't sleep. You can also kill him! ”
Wang Pu snorted coldly and said fiercely to his companion next to him.
Li Wuliu smiled: "Haha, hit the tartar and fall into the water." It's my people. ”
Li Wuliu was the first to come from Wang Pu's subordinates, when Wang Pu was training. has not beaten Li Wuliu less.
But since Li Wuliu brought the archers and finally led the birds, he has already made great achievements in war, as if he has overtaken Wang Pu in military merits, plus the past grievances between the two, bickering is a common thing.
But this time Wang Pu didn't argue, everyone saw yesterday's battle, and it was all fought by Li Wuliu's people.
Wang Pu just gritted his teeth. Looking into the distance, the camp of the captives was still quiet, and it seemed that they were not planning to attack.
Only a group of rangers, still in rotation, kept watch over this side from a distance of one hundred and fifty paces, lest they cut off the heads of their dead brethren.
Yang Chao suddenly sighed in his heart: "You all remember, even the barbarian Dongyu knows to bring back the corpses of their dead comrades-in-arms for burial, and we must do it even more, in the future, we must not abandon the corpses of the robes and zes in the battle array." I must let them return to their hometown. ”
Everyone is also related to Yang Chao when he says this, who doesn't want to die by himself. There can be a corpse buried in the ground.
Yang Chao suddenly thought that the Japanese in later generations seemed to have similar habits, and brought this habit into the combat style, the two closest Japanese troops, regardless of the size of the formation, as long as the friendly army is attacked, they will immediately support, even if a foot team encounters a division and a brigade of the opponent, they will not hesitate to rush up, and finally cause a company of the Japanese army to run with a division of the Guo army.
Because I know that my nearby brother infantry team will definitely support. Therefore, the Japanese army is often very daring to intersperse operations, and its attitude of infiltrating and interspersing is very decisive. Therefore, tactically, the Japanese army was very strong.
Yang Chao also hoped that his army would have this decisive spirit.
So he continued: "This official made a military rule today. However, all neighboring troops must rescue the brother troops, and those who do not save them will be punished as the crime of escape! ”
Escaping from the battle, Yang Chao has only one military rule, slash!
"Do you understand?"
Yang Chao shouted loudly.
"Got it!"
The soldier replied.
They don't know that this military regulation laid the foundation for the birth of an army with very unique qualities, and this military regulation allows an army to have a unique military soul.
"Your Excellency!"
Zhao Kang suddenly shouted.
Yang Chao looked ahead, and the enemy army was dispatched.
The north and south were launched at the same time, and they were in front of the battalion.
The cavalry formed a tight formation, dragging a slow pace, slowly moving forward.
The horses trampled on the earth with a dull sound.
I have to say that the large-scale military formations have a different aura, Yang Chao's infantry has it, and the cavalry also has it.
The opponent's cavalry pressed forward so much, and there was a faint indestructible aura, which was really like a dark cloud pressing down.
One hundred and fifty paces, they are still moving forward.
One hundred and twenty paces, and they are still moving forward.
"Ready!"
Yang Chao had already asked the bird gunners to prepare, and the bird gunners also laid the bird guns flat and began to aim, just waiting for the other party to enter a hundred steps, and they would shoot.
But the other party suddenly stopped, stopped a hundred steps away, and actually figured out the range of Yang Chao's army's bird guns, knowing that at this distance, they would not be threatened by bird guns.
Then, from both sides of the cavalry, suddenly a group of infantry, captive infantry.
These infantrymen came straight out of the barracks, but not empty-handed, but not with weapons, but with a vehicle.
A thick wooden board stood on the front of the car.
"This is Dongyu's shield car?"
In the Northeast, after the Jurchens rebelled, they soon invented this kind of shield cart, in fact, it was to add a thick wooden board in front of the wheelbarrow and wheelbarrow, and the birch wood in the mountains and forests in the northeast was enough to resist the Ming army's bird guns and bow and arrow shots.
"Sure enough, it's going to be attacked!"
Seeing this shield car, Yang Chao was immediately sure that the other party must be about to attack.
But I couldn't help frowning.
Yesterday the captives did not have a shield car, apparently these were built yesterday, or even last night.
This kind of thing is very easy to make, with only a few carpenters, or even a large tree that has just been cut down to make it in nine layers.
There is no doubt that the other party is going to attack, but they built a shield car overnight and came to attack today, is this to compete with their own soldiers for endurance and will?
Yang Chao couldn't help but wonder.
But the captives did not doubt. The shield cart is ahead, slowly moving forward.
A Yu Ding pushed a shield cart, followed by two leather armor soldiers. Slowly approaching the warehouse.
However, the cavalry in the rear array dismounted one by one, not necessarily in infantry formation. It's about giving the horse a break.
According to the analysis of the situation, Yang Chao determined that the captives must be infantry rushing over, and after fighting with his side, the cavalry would charge.
The idea of the captives was very good, in their opinion, as long as they were in close contact with this side, the Ming army would not be able to give full play to the advantages of the birds, so they could capture this simple warehouse area in one go.
Why did the captives attack this warehouse?
Yang Chao identified. The other party must not be able to accept the death of so many people, according to the battle report, the Dongyu entered the Kou this time, and even included the previous Kou, rarely attacked the fortified city heavily guarded by the Ming army.
Their purpose is just to loot, but on this dock, nearly a hundred people have been killed and wounded, which makes it difficult for the captives to accept, and the attack on the warehouse is completely to vent their anger, so as long as they break through here. There will definitely be no one left here to kill, and Yang Chao's soldiers and those people will definitely be slaughtered.
But Yang Chao won't give them this opportunity.
Are you kidding. In the era of globalization, if you get a shield-breaking car, you want to impact the firearms battle.
If the captives were willing to risk the annihilation of the entire army and storm with all their horses on horseback, Yang Chao believed that they would definitely be able to engage him in close combat.
But with just a few shield-breaking cars, it would be too whimsical to want to safely impact in front of your own formation.
"Bring me the cannon!"
These treasures are all in the warehouse, Yang Chao was deliberately useless yesterday, in fact, his intentions were very sinister, he wanted to lure the captives to attack him. Then he used fortifications to kill and injure the enemy to train his troops, but he guessed that the captives were going to attack. Yang Chao asked people to prepare, and the other party came to attack. You have to defend with all your might, and if you keep one hand, you will die.
Now after seeing the captives push out this simple wooden cart this time, Yang Chao knew that it was time for his cannon to appear.
You don't need a big cannon, the little tiger squat cannon is enough.
Xiaohu squatted at only thirty pounds, and the buckshot weighed five dollars.
There are a total of twenty such guns, and there are just ten on one side.
Behind the salt wall, a pile of salt bales was piled up, and finally the cannon was erected flat, and it was firmly fastened with ropes.
At the same time, five large general guns were to the north, and four were to the south, and at the same time facing the army formation of the captives.
The shield cart slowly approached, from a hundred to eighty paces.
Yang Chao tried to shoot a round of bird guns, but in addition to flying some sawdust, he really couldn't break the thick wooden shield.
Yang Chao fortunately let the bird gun not be launched.
This result gave the captives hope, and the pace of progress immediately quickened a little.
Soon forty steps.
Seeing that Yang Chao fired another round of guns, he still couldn't break the shield cart, let alone the bow and arrow.
The captives were more confident.
Their cavalry had already begun to mount, and it was evident that as soon as the shield carts approached the low wall, they would charge.
The shield cart was twenty paces from the warehouse, and the captives and cavalry finally began to advance, pressing their horses forward slowly.
However, their cavalry was divided into two waves, each of which was in a tight formation, man to man, horse to horse, and in three rows.
There is still a group of captives behind the cavalry who did not move, and all of them were wearing thick armor, and they looked like elite soldiers, and they did not move at this time as if they were pressing the formation, believing that once the front was engaged, they would charge at any time, and then give the enemy a thunderous blow.
"My lord, it's ten steps, do you want to fire the cannon?"
The gunner from Huai'an reminded Yang Chao in a low voice.
The shield chariot was already approaching ten paces, and the cavalry was eighty paces away.
Yang Chao shook his head: "Wait, when the time comes, I will hit their heads." The birds above hit the cavalry behind! ”
Yang Chao ordered.
At this time, the captives and cavalry had just entered eighty paces, and the bird-stalkers on the roof heard the order and began to shoot, and the captives fell off their horses, or their horses were wounded and killed, but they still moved forward firmly, and the posture of the attack was very firm. (To be continued).
