Is the other party really so determined?

Yang Chao couldn't help but doubt in his heart.

If they don't fight today, will they have the courage to continue attacking their own strong positions tomorrow?

Yang Chao doesn't think so, it's very likely that they can't beat it today, and they will leave tomorrow.

After all, the losses before and after nearly 100, plus today's casualties, the captives must be more than 100 people, and the other side has only more than 300 people in total, and the proportion of casualties of 100 is simply incredible, not a feudal army can have, probably because they are deep in the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and they are all enemy territory, and they must huddle together to keep warm, and a single person cannot go back at all, so there is a closer unity to endure this kind of casualties.

It's like when the Ming army was besieged later, even when the ammunition was exhausted, it was able to hold on, and finally the whole army was annihilated, that was because they were trapped in a closed area like the city wall, which made people naturally have a sense of togetherness, and behind it was their own home, their own relatives, and the resistance was more resolute.

If it was placed in Liaodong, Yang Chao did not believe that the captives could still bear such a level of casualties in a field battle with the Ming army.

Because the northern and southern captives launched a strong attack at the same time, Yang Chao sat in the north, and no one in the south could not sit in the town, Yang Chao gave Wang Pu an order, let him be responsible for the defense of the south as the general, Yang Chao thought that Wang Pu had the most rich combat experience, and the Jiang bandits he had killed before were more than 100, and he was reassuring to sit here, and the most important thing was that Wang Pu's military exploits were still able to convince the public, at least where to put Zhao Kang, he might not be able to suppress other officers.

Yang Chao's decision was completely right for Wang Pu's thoughts, he was very active in organizing defense, standing high on the roof and staring at the captives.

He saw the captives approaching step by step, not paying any attention to the shield carts, his eyes glancing behind the captives. Seeing the last group of elite captives, everyone was wearing armor, and quite a lot of the captives had bright armor. It's all painted red, which makes his eyes hot when he looks at it.

"These are all big fish!"

Wang Pu judged which officers were captive. Thinking of this, he couldn't resist the urge to rush over and kill all these captives, but he also knew that it was unrealistic, but he couldn't help it.

Which captives are one hundred and fifty steps away, whether it is a bow and arrow or a bird, they can't help it, but Wang Pu is unwilling.

Suddenly, Wang Pu thought of the cannon, he had never played with the cannon, but it did not prevent him from knowing that the cannon hit farther.

Thinking of this, Wang Pu suddenly became excited. Jumping off the roof, he immediately pulled the gunners and told them to turn all their guns at the generals in the rear.

Then Wang Pu completely ignored the captive infantry cavalry that was approaching him step by step, and stared closely at the group of captive generals behind him.

The captive generals in Wang Pu's eyes are really big fish, especially one of them, who is the highest status in this group of captives.

At this time, they were also talking.

"Lord Belle, this Ming army is strange! It looks extremely calm, and I really haven't seen it before. ”

A captive general, dressed in beautiful iron armor painted red, with chain mail on his cuffs, flicked his pigtails. said to a captive general next to him who was more brightly armored.

The soldier known as Baylor said contemptuously: "What if you can't beat it? They can last a day, two days, and ten days. Twenty days? ”

The captive said, "That's right." What a ruthless person Nazu Dashou is, how strong Jinzhou City is, it is not a broken city after half a year. And that Hong Chengchou, I heard that it is still the famous Ming Jinglu, and it is not down! ”

Baylor said, "Hmph. That's nature, who in the whole world can stop the front of my golden iron cavalry. If we hadn't allowed the attack on Jiancheng, we wouldn't have been able to enter any Daming city. ”

The captive general said: "That's not because the masters cherish their minions and don't want to lose them in vain." ”

Baylor snorted: "If you don't attack the city, you can grab any good things, this rich man of the Ming Dynasty." They all live in the city. ”

The captive general sighed and didn't speak, these masters' affairs. Baylor can say, he can't.

However, the captive still regretted in his heart: "I just don't know how many dingkou will be damaged." ”

In fact, Baylor is not sorry. It proves that the great general Abatai has ordered the whole army to assemble in Shandong, and it is time to return to Liaodong after some corrections, and most of the captives went back honestly, but Baylor did not, because he was not afraid of Abatai, because he was not afraid.

So he asked some of his troops to go back first, and he brought some Dingkou to stay for a few days, the original intention was to let some of his bannermen grab more things, so he sent all the Mongols in the generals back, and those Mongols were still very unhappy.

Now Baylor regretted it a little, if the Mongols were there, now they could let them rush into battle and consume the Ming army, so they didn't have to send these Dingkou to death in their own banner.

It's a pity that Baylor didn't expect that this Ming army would suddenly appear, and he didn't expect them to dare to line up outside the city, the most unexpected thing for Baylor was that as soon as he came into contact with this Ming army, he was killed nearly 100 people, which made Baylor unacceptable, and he would never give up until he killed all this Ming army.

And Baylor has already made up his mind, not only to kill this Ming army, but also to break through Haizhou City.

He has seen the wealth of Haizhou, and a few Yanpu near here let his subordinates grab more than 300,000 taels of silver, and these are privately grabbed, and they don't need to be handed over to Gongzhong after they go back, with this silver, by next year, they will be able to wear thousands more armor in their banners, and his Amma's strength will go to a higher level.

If Haizhou City can be opened, wouldn't the looted gold and silver exceed one million, thinking of this, Baylor felt that the loss of one hundred and ten banners was not unacceptable, as for whether they had the ability to attack Jiancheng, Baylor had no doubt at all, these days they were under Haizhou City, those Ming troops who were close at hand, they didn't dare to shoot an arrow beyond them, such a Ming army, not worthy of his attention.

However, the Ming army in front of me who don't know where it came from is quite tricky, there are a lot of birds in the army, the key is not the birds, the key is that they are different from other Ming troops, they dare to do it with the Manchurian warriors!

This is okay, if the Ming army is so ignorant, no matter how ineffective it is, in the future, the Manchurian warriors want to loot easily, I'm afraid it will not be so easy, after all, the Ming people are as many as the weeds on the grassland, and the Ming army is also like the rabbits on the grassland, they can't kill them all, these rabbits are bold, they don't have to become wolves, as long as they become wild dogs, it is enough to bite them to death The Manchu tiger.

Therefore, in public and private, Baylor felt that he had to kill all this Ming army, thinking of this, Baylor's will was firmer, but at this time he heard a loud noise, and his heart was immediately shocked, he knew very well this sound, this is a cannon, and there is no less loss of cannons in Liaodong Eight Banners!

The captive shield cart in front of Yang Chao had already arrived in front of the warehouse, and the captives behind the shield cart had already begun to shoot arrows, and the target was the bird gunners on the roofs on both sides.

But the target of the Bird's Gun is the cavalry that enters sixty paces behind, and you fight yours and I fight mine.

Because of the angle of elevation, the captive's infantry bow either misses or hits the helmet of the bird's gunner, and there is no damage.

However, the bird gunner can methodically shoot the cavalry one by one, and the cavalry falls one by one.

Probably thinking that this was too futile, the shield cart also arrived in front of the warehouse, and the captive infantry finally began to storm the street entrance.

The shield cart pushes towards the narrow street entrance and begins to shoot at the street entrance.

There were a few arrows that wounded the unlucky ones behind the low wall.

But the shield cart is still moving forward.

The gunner nervously hid under the low wall, his body only pressed against the low wall, and looked at Yang Chao in fear.

Yang Chao looked at the shield cart that had been seeing the captives against the low wall, and then a captives jumped out with knives, and Yang Chao took a deep breath and shouted: "Open the cannon!" ”

The gunner couldn't wait, and with a wooden stick with a fire arquebus, he lit it to the fire pool.

With the roar of the ten cannons, the five-dollar lead bullet was violently rushed out by the energy of the gunpowder explosion, because the tiger squat cannon and the salt bag inside the low wall were tied together, and the whole low wall trembled.

Ten cannons emitted a puff of white smoke, and at the same time, limbs flew in front of them, and a large area was immediately cleared from the street.

An unlucky captive jumped up and tried to jump from the shield cart onto the low wall, just as the tiger squat cannon rang out in mid-air.

The body of the captive soldier who had just jumped up immediately flew backwards, and he couldn't even scream, because a big hole exploded in his stomach, and blood and flesh mixed together, pouring the captives behind him.

And the other captives didn't take care of this unfortunate companion at all, because they were also stunned, and ten tiger squatting cannons came over, and flesh and stumps flew around, and a bunch of captives flew away at once, and mainly the ones in the back, but the ones in the front, which were attached to the low wall, escaped a catastrophe.

But the captives against the wall were not comfortable, they were holding knives in their hands, and they were originally going to climb the low wall first, and then the captives behind them would follow and kill, but suddenly there was nothing behind them, and there were only a dozen or so of them, and the tragic scene in front of them made them frightened, and they didn't dare to climb the wall for a while.

The Ming army on this side of the wall didn't know that there were still a few fish hiding on the side of the low wall, and at this time the military formation was already running like a machine, the bird gunners fired in an orderly manner, and the archers began to draw their bows and shoot arrows.

The archers were followed by the same cannons, also prepared, and the artillery was followed by groups of infantry with spears in hand.

Although the shield charioters suffered heavy blows, the cavalry sixty paces behind them did not feel it, and what they saw was that some of the infantry had been lost, but some of the infantry had stuck to the low wall, and although they had not yet attacked, it made the cavalry think that they were waiting for them.

Therefore, the first round of artillery bombardment not only did not make the cavalry retreat, but invariably began to accelerate the charge.

A distance of fifty or sixty paces, for a cavalry charge, is a matter of a dozen breaths.

In an instant, the cavalry of the second row was forty paces, and the cavalry of the third row was within sixty paces.

Yang Chao suddenly roared: "Artillery prepare, bombard the cavalry!" (To be continued).
