Tiemoda's heart is desolate, he is very familiar with the Ming army on the other side, in just two months, the equipment of these Ming troops seems to have changed again, the current team of iron armor spear forest, even the face is covered under the iron armor, the left flank is still a sea of red, a flag fluttering in the wind, embroidered with a huge arquebus, the Ming army on the opposite side is quite contemptuous of them, only sent two battalions of teams to intercept them, and the other Ming troops are still encircled in Jinzhou.

The Niu Lu distribution under his command all looked at Tiemoda with a sad face, and when he gave the final order, they all knew that these poorly equipped and not many archers alone could not rush across the opposite army formation, but where else could they run? The road back to Jinzhou has been cut off, and the Ming army will never let them return to Fuzhou easily, as long as they send a team of sentry horsemen to chase after them, they are afraid that they will be dispersed immediately, and then let the Ming army slaughter them.

"The retreat is at an end, and now I will fight to the death with the Han dog!"

After Tiemoda finished hanging up, he brandished a big knife and roared: "Jianzhou warriors, today it is enough to kill one, kill two to earn one, and rush with me!" ”

Suddenly, the smoke and dust billowed in front of the Ming army, and soon, the fierce war drums in the Ming army sounded, the pikemen battalion and the arquebus battalion were originally square and quickly stretched towards the two wings, and finally became two long columns, the arquebus battalion took the lead, their footsteps followed the drum beat and stepped in place, holding the musket in their hands and quietly watching the Tartars running over, thirty steps behind them, the soldiers of the pike battalion also quickly formed a three-row column.

As soon as the order of the Chinese army changed, two rows of soldiers began to walk slowly, and they met the Tartars, their movements were uniform, their steps were neat, and if you look at it from the side, it is two straight lines of three rows each.

All the Tartars immediately saw this strange horizontal long snake formation, but Tiemoda was ecstatic in his heart, and he encouraged everyone: "The Ming army is killing itself!" Originally, there were few of us, and I was worried that I wouldn't be able to break through the formation of the Han dog, but now that they are discharging this thin front, we only need to rush through the six rows to break the formation, everyone work hard, and kill the enemy with me! ”

Hearing Tie Moda's words, several Niu Lu also shouted loudly, waving their weapons and rushing forward without hesitation, and those white tooth horns were even more imposing......

Li Dali walked on the outskirts of the team with a command knife, and seeing that the Tartar was about to rush to one hundred and fifty steps, he pulled out his long knife and said loudly in front of him: "Stop!" ”

The whole walking column immediately stopped, and the two rows of soldiers behind them also came up, and they turned their heads to the right, with Li Dali as a yardstick, and began to gather the ranks, and after a while, the pikemen behind them also arrived, and they formed a six-row long snake formation next to the soldiers of the arquebus battalion.

"Ready!" With a wave of his long knife, the soldiers in the first row raised their flintlock pistols with their muzzles, aiming their guns at the opposite tartars.

Soon, the white swing tooth lamas who took the lead had already rushed up, they saw the muzzles of those black holes, and their hearts were numb, this Ming army firearm was fierce They had already understood it, but at this point, they couldn't allow them to retreat, they blocked the heavy shield in front of them, and they only expected these firearms to be reloaded slowly, just like the last time they broke through.

"Put!"

Li Dali saw that the Tartar rushed into a hundred steps, and did not hesitate to swing his knife and slash, the last time the arquebus battalion's firepower could not be maintained in actual combat, this time he would never make this mistake.

Fluffy!

Large clouds of gunpowder smoke rose from the long line, shrouding the battlefield in white fog.

There were some screams, and through the smoke it could be seen that this round had knocked down nearly ten shock Tartars, and the results did not seem to be satisfactory, the flintlock pistols did not have any increase in range, and it was all up to luck to fire at the armored soldiers from a hundred paces away.

"Hurry up, run!"

Tiemoda was ecstatic, the Ming army hurriedly opened fire a hundred steps away, obviously the damage caused by the firearm was much smaller, seeing that his side did not suffer much, a burst of hope rose in his heart: "Perhaps, there is really a chance to kill all these Ming troops!" ”

The other Tartars who rushed into battle also noticed this phenomenon, compared to the heavy casualties last time, the Ming troops with firearms on the opposite side were like a group of men.

"The Ming army is slow to reload, warriors, charge!" A Niu Lu raised his knife and howled loudly.

"Ready!"

Li Dali saw that the speed of the Tartar was much faster, and snorted disdainfully, and the soldiers in the first row quickly took the flintlock pistols handed over by the second row, and continued to hold them flat to aim, while the soldiers in the second row suddenly squatted down and began to load nervously.

"Put!" Li Dali shouted.

Fluffy!

In just a few breaths, the first row of Ming troops fired the second round again, and the Tartars on the opposite side only rushed a few short steps!

This blow caused more casualties among the Tartars, and Li Dali did not have time to check the results of the battle, and ordered: "Ready!" ”

The soldiers of the third row held the flintlock pistol in one hand and handed it to the soldier in the first row, and at the same time took back the flintlock pistol that had been fired.

Brush!

The soldiers in the third row squatted down in unison and began to load nervously, and at this time, most of the soldiers in the second row raised their left hands and signaled that they had finished filling.

"Second row up!" The deputy battalion commander, who was standing at the edge of the queue, nodded, and the soldiers in the second row got up at the same time.

"Launch!" Li Dali swung his knife fiercely again

Fluffy!

As the Tartars got closer and closer, the damage caused by each salvo was much greater, and after the first row of soldiers finished shooting, there was a loud howl on the opposite side, and countless Tartars fell down neatly like mowing grass, along with the Iron Moda who rushed to the front, as well as those who led the distribution, the Niulu......

After fifteen rounds of firing, there were no living people standing on the opposite side, and the pikemen battalion behind them stepped forward in order, and began to clean up the battlefield, and they walked to the middle of the Tartars that had fallen to the ground, and stabbed them to death one by one, ignoring the pleading of the wounded Tartars, and did not even spare a few shots of the corpses.

When Tiemoda led hundreds of people to attack the Thunder Brigade, it happened to give Yang Bo a precious opportunity to experiment with flintlock pistols, the arquebus battalion now has more than 300 flintlock guns, compared to the arquebus that gets in the way, cannot be used on rainy days, and has to hold a long arquebus during combat, the flintlock pistol has a very obvious advantage, not only increasing the density of the queue, but also filling faster, and shooting more light.

Of course, flintlock pistols also have disadvantages, that is, it is easy to mute fire, and the sparks hit by the anvil are often not enough to ignite the gunpowder, and the dumb fire rate reaches 30%, and there is a serious problem, that is, the delay of firing, from the moment the trigger is pulled until the bullet is discharged, the delay during this period can not be mastered, so that the accuracy of the soldier's shooting at the moving target is greatly reduced, and there is no solution.

However, for the hundreds of people who rushed into the iron mode, the flintlock pistols of the arquebus battalion still exerted great power, after a platoon of soldiers concentrated fire, they would immediately take the loaded flintlock pistol from the second row and continue to fire, and after the firing was completed, they would take the loaded flintlock pistol from the third row and continue to aim and shoot, afterwards Li Dali took the big and small commanders to inspect the battlefield, and they saw that most of the dead Tartars died within the range of 100 to 60 steps, and no one could rush into the range of 50 steps of bow and arrow shooting.

The Thunder Brigade is like a mountain blocking the return of all the Tartars out of the city, after the infantry led by Tie Moda was completely destroyed, many sentinels who saw the bad situation began to flee in twos and threes in the direction of Fugai, Yang Bo did not have many cavalry in his hands and could not intercept them, and they could only go, they needed a day to return to Fuzhou to report, if the slave chief sent troops to rescue Jinzhou, it would take a day, he still had two full days to attack Jinzhou City, and in the whole battle, Jinzhou City was quiet, only occasionally a few figures flashed.

After clearing the Tartars outside the city, Yang Bo was relieved, and he rode around the city of Jinzhou a few times, hoping to find Jinzhou's weaknesses, but he was soon disappointed......

"Liaodong Xiongzhen" is not just a verbal statement, the city wall of Jinzhou is wrapped with a large piece of blue bricks, the circumference of the city is six miles, the city wall is three feet and five feet high, the city is one and seven feet deep, and the width is six and five feet!

The Thunder Brigade did not have any siege equipment, and he didn't know how to attack the city wall that was more than ten meters high.

The commanders of the battalions also gathered, and they talked about Jinzhou City, and they didn't have any good ideas for a while.

"He Jiu, send a sentry to report to Li Weiluan and Tan Yinghua, asking them to speed up, and send a small team of sentry horses to chase and kill the fleeing Tartars, and pay attention to the situation in the Fuzhou area," Yang Bo ordered.

"My lord, when they arrive, we will attack together?" Li vigorously scratched his head, the arquebus battalion performed well today, Yang Bo encouraged him very much, and even the morale of the whole battalion was high.

"Xiao Yu, what can you do in the staff?" Yang Bo asked Wang Xiaoyu hopefully, and Wang Xiaoyu quickly shook his head

"Calf, what can you do?" Yang Bo hoped that the calf's way of thinking would be different, but unfortunately the calf rolled his eyes and squatted aside to count the ants.

"I'll grass his grandmother's thigh" Yang Bo was furious, and fought hard to get to the city, but he was helpless......

"My lord, there is a way for the small ones," Lin Dacheng, the instructor of the smoothbore artillery battalion, whispered

"Say!" Yang Bo was overjoyed

"Heap the heads of those Tartars under the city and persuade them to surrender!" Lin Dacheng plucked up his courage and said.

"You guys hurry up and do it," Yang Bo said, pointing to the commander of the reserve battalion, "Let the people in the reserve camp see blood." ”

After half an hour, Lin Dacheng fled back in embarrassment, throwing a few boulders from the city, almost smashing him into meat sauce.

"They won't?" Yang Bo was furious

Lin Dacheng shook his head and said nothing.

Wu Kui, the military discipline officer, muttered: "My lord, there are not many Tartars in the city, and most of the remaining are auxiliaries and coats, and they are not even enough to defend each city wall, why are they still unwilling to surrender?" ”

"We can't wait, we have to make a two-handed plan, let the reserve battalion start cutting down trees and prepare siege equipment, in addition, you send someone to shoot arrows and tell them that as long as they are willing to surrender, I will spare them from dying" Yang Bo said to He Jiu, He Jiu nodded, and beckoned a sentry to give a few words.

After another half an hour, He Jiu reported with a stupid face, and the Tartars in the city still preferred to die rather than surrender......

"Blow the trumpet, gather the battalions, and start the siege!"

The assembly call of the Chinese army began to sound, and the men and horses of the battalions who were sitting on the ground resting all stood up, waiting for Yang Bo's latest order, and soon, the sentry cavalry arrived at the battalions with orders, the arquebus battalion covered, and the sin battalion and the pikemen battalion attacked mainly.

The reserve battalion carried more than a dozen improvised ladders, which were so rudimentary that one of them fell apart halfway through, which made the soldiers preparing to attack the city gasp.

In the camp of the Chinese army, the commanders of all departments are worried, the Thunder Brigade has never practiced siege, they can't even make equipment, so in such a hasty siege battle without preparation, the casualties will definitely be extremely heavy.

"My lord, do you really want to fight?" Liu Manzi asked with some hesitation.

Yang Bo silently looked at the soldiers of the reserve battalion who were panicking to repair the scattered ladder, and finally shook his head: "Don't fight, I'm scaring them."

Everyone was crying and laughing......

Just when Yang Bo was at a loss, the sentry horse came to report that Tan Yinghua arrived with more than 100 personal guards.

"Leisure! This credit can't be run away, Guangludao alone is hundreds of Tartar heads" Tan Yinghua entered the Chinese army's tent, threw down his helmet, found a stool to sit down, and refused to get up

Yang Bo said with a sad face: "There are still hundreds of them in Jinzhou City, Lao Tan, what can you do?" ”

Tan Yinghua shook his head: "I went around the city just now, where can we think of this kind of big city now?" Listen to my old Tan's advice, it's better to go back to Lushun as soon as possible."

"There are hundreds of auxiliaries in Jinzhou, and I am really unwilling to take it down."

Yang Bo sighed: "Old Tan, do you want the credit for recovering Jinzhou?" ”

"Yes!" Tan Yinghua got up with a bone: "How to fight?" ”

Yang Bo thought for a while: "You and I join forces, you attack the city, and I cover"

Seeing Tan Yinghua's expression, Yang Bo stubbornly explained: "I won't tell you, Old Tan, the guerrilla camp has practiced everything, but this ant attached to the city has never done it, look at what they do."

Tan Yinghua looked at Yang Bo's finger and saw the scattered ladder, and couldn't help laughing: "I divided a team of people to teach, and it is still a question whether this kind of ladder can be erected, no wonder I am helpless." ”

Yang Bo was suddenly overjoyed: "Will the Guanglu soldiers do this?" ”

Tan Yinghua nodded: "The siege equipment is not only a ladder, but also a shield car needs to be prepared, it is getting late today, so they can only rush to make some overnight, and early tomorrow morning, work together to attack the city!" ”

Seeing Yang Bo nodding, Tan Yinghua said: "Idle, I still have thousands of old, weak, sick and disabled people in Guanglu, do you want it?" ”

~~~~~

Early the next morning, the terrible suona resounded under the city of Jinzhou, 2,000 Dongjiang soldiers dressed neatly, and began to ascend the city in the four directions of Jinzhou, and the arquebus battalion was on guard in a group of ten people under the city.

Dozens of artillery began to roar, and the smoothbore artillery battalion began to shell Jinzhou under the command of Huang Erman, these mortar cannons and Fur Rang machines couldn't hit the city wall at all, but as soon as they fired, the terrifying momentum came up, and after a few iron shell shells hit the city wall, soon, there were no people running around in the city.

Some of the iron-clad auxiliaries pushed five shield carts and began to slowly march towards the south gate, the south gate was the target of the main attack this time, the double-layered iron-clad Guanglu soldiers and pikemen had three ladders per 100 people, divided into more than 30 groups, ready to attack the four city walls, and there was also a team of auxiliaries carrying sand and pushing rooster carts, ready to fill the moats.

Begin!

With Yang Bo's order, countless auxiliaries rushed towards the city trench, filling the earth and stone in the trench, and the shield cart also creaked and moved, and the defenders at the head of the city heard the movement, they pulled out their bows and aimed at the soldiers who were close to the city wall, and after a bang, a dense rain of arrows flew down.

Not to be outdone, the arquebus battalion soldiers under the city walls also aimed at the city head and opened fire one after another, hitting the battlements into a splash of rubble, several archers close to the city fell directly after being shot, screaming loudly, the fired musketeers retreated into the shield cart, and another group of musketeers came out nervously aiming at the city head.

Come on!

With a shout, the Dongjiang soldiers who carried the ladder in a group of fifty people began to run, there were two hooks on the head of the ladder, as long as they grabbed the city wall, they would not easily fall over, but the Tartars on the head of the city did not dare to rise again, it seemed that they were planning to wait for the Ming army to climb up and then counterattack.

Yang Bo looked nervously at the city wall, the soldiers carrying the ladder crossed the ditch, erected the ladder with all hands and feet, and there was a shout on the head of the city, throwing down some stones, gold juice, and the first casualties began to appear......

Yang Bo's hands were a little sweaty, these soldiers were veterans who were retained after the bloody battle with the Tartars, and it was a pity to sacrifice them in the siege battle, but he didn't have any way.

At this moment, the sentry cavalry flew in: "My lord, Lord Lushun Li Weiluan has arrived with three thousand soldiers and horses!" ”

Yang Bo and Tan Yinghua were immediately overjoyed and greeted Li Weiluan.

Li Weiluan didn't care about being polite and asked, "How many Tartars are there in Jinzhou?" ”

Yang Bo said: "There are less than five hundred, most of them are auxiliaries and coats, but they are firmly defending the city and refuse to surrender, so they can only attack the city for now." ”

Li Weiluan rode around on horseback, frowned and asked, "Zhixian, how many cavalry are there in the defenders of the city?" ”

Yang Bo was stunned for a moment, shook his head and said, "I don't know, it's estimated that there are less than 100 riders, right?" What exactly does the meditation want to say? ”

Li Weiluan smiled: "Where do you know how to be idle, have you forgotten about Wai Sanqueyi?" If you surround the four gates to the death, and the Tartars have no way out, won't you be trapped and the beasts will fight? ”

Hearing Li Weiluan's words, Yang Bo suddenly realized......

After a while, all the Ming troops in Sanmen were evacuated, leaving only the south gate, and the guerrilla battalion, Guanglu, and Lushun gathered together, looking down at a dense large area, and all kinds of flags flew everywhere.

As the siege order was issued again, the dozens of ladders gathered at the south gate were all soldiers struggling to climb, and the city was still silent and silent.

"Go up! Go up! ”

Yang Bo took the clairvoyant mirror, a Guanglu soldier wearing leather armor and holding a knife stood guard at the head of the city, behind him, more and more soldiers began to climb through the battlements and jump on the city wall!

At this moment, a sentry rode a pegasus to report, and his face couldn't hide the joy: "My lord, the north gate is open, and more than 100 people are fleeing on Pegasus in the direction of Fuzhou, and more than 200 people are fleeing on foot. ”

Yang Bo waved his hand violently: "Chase me!" (To be continued.) )
