The cavalry battalion that arrived at Yulinpu in advance immediately cut off the passage in the direction of Gaizhou, and began to build positions with the rescue battalion responsible for sniping to prevent Gaizhou Abatai from sending troops to rescue, and the two battalions responsible for attacking the fort were neatly arranged one mile outside the fort.

Yulinpu is just a relatively simple castle, the defense is not strong, if it were not for the deterrence of Abatai, Yang Bo only needs to send a cavalry battalion to level this fort, so the staff department did not put forward any complicated plan, it is nothing more than to drag out six pounds of artillery for a while, and then storm it.

As several six-pounder guns began to fire one after another, the enemy building on the left side was hit by a cannon, and the entire enemy building collapsed in a tooth-aching creak, and many screaming voices and shadows could be seen in the dust were buried, and the artillery fire swept away several enemy buildings in the tunpu, and with a sound of horns, the assault began, and the soldiers of the logistics battalion began to fill the trench under the cover of the huge shield, and the archers on the earthen wall were beaten by the fire and did not dare to raise their heads, and occasionally shot down a few arrows were also crooked, and there was no threat.

Yang Bo didn't pay too much attention to this battle, there were constantly Tang horses coming in and out, and the news of Gaizhou was sent back, Gaizhou was only less than fifteen miles away from Yulinpu, and the cavalry was coming in an instant, so the staff spent a lot of effort to formulate a reinforcement plan, and even reduced the three battalions attacking Yulinpu to two battalions, but Gaizhou was quiet and did not react at all.

"Your words to Abatai are courageous and reckless. That doesn't seem to be the case now, right? Yang Bo used a clairvoyant mirror to look at the one-sided siege battle, and made fun of Liu Bingwen of the Intelligence Department.

"Who told us that the Iron Fist Brigade was invincible? In one day, he forcibly captured Fuzhou and saw the fate of Azig. Even if Abatai is brave and unscrupulous, he can't say that he is not afraid of death, right? Liu Bingwen slapped his ass very implicitly.

Wang Xiaoyu said: "If the Abatai turtle shrinks and covers the state, our plan to destroy one of them and then slowly return to the division is probably variable again." ”

The trench in front of Yulinbao has been half filled, and the logistics battalion has rushed up with a hitchhiker, and many wooden planks have been set up on the trench, and the auxiliaries are quickly clearing the obstacles of the horses and thistles. Many musketeers stood on the planks and stood guard on them, and some of them showed their heads in a volley of guns, sending bricks, dirt and rubble flying on the walls. A shield cart with a thick batter rod also staggered towards the fort gate.

Yang Bo turned around and said, "Is there a way to provoke Abatai and let him go out of the city to fight with us?" ”

Wang Xiaoyu thought for a while and said: "It's better to get Azig under the city and cut it in front of the defenders, I'm not afraid that Abatai won't save him." ”

Yang Bo shook his head: "Azig can't do it, I'm still of great use keeping him." Why don't you replace the solid mountain with the white flag?"

He Jiu just came in. Hearing this, he smacked his lips with some regret and said, "Why are so many Tartar noble heads sold to Guan Ningjun?" If you report to the imperial court, how much food and true colors do you have to exchange? It's not too much for adults to be afraid of sealing a general soldier this time? ”

Yang Bo snorted: "Killing Kong Youde will make Yang Wenyue's jaw drop with laughter, if you let the court know that we have all disabled the Zhengbai Flag, then they should discuss how to deal with our guerrilla battalion, and the strength still doesn't need to be exposed too early, otherwise Your Majesty will not be able to sleep again." ”

As the crash reached the city gates, the sound of violent crashes began to echo, and the defenders of the fort knew that the last moment had come to peek out of the city despite the ferocity of firearms. Stones, sassal wood. The golden juice, pouring down like a rain of oil, immediately opened fierce fire below, for a time the battlefield was full of gunsmoke, the fight was very fierce, and the strong fortress gate began to crack and twist under the impact, the Tartars on the city wall formed several waves of old and weak women and children to fight back, smashing down large pieces of sandalwood, which caused some casualties to the auxiliaries who hit the door below, but soon these clothes were suppressed by a more ferocious counterattack, and these clothes either lay down at the head of the city, or fell from the head of the city without saying a word......

Just when the siege battle was at its most critical, the sentry cavalry reported urgently, and a large number of Tartar cavalry were found to be rapidly coming from ten miles north, and the banner was the yellow flag of Abatai in Gaizhou.

Yang Bo was in high spirits, and asked repeatedly: "How many people are there in Tartar?" ”

The sentry cavalry hesitated a little, and finally said: "About a thousand people, but there are still infantry in the direction of Gaizhou are leaving the city one after another, and the hesitant Tartar sentry cavalry has blocked the road, and we can't know the specific number of enemy troops."

Yang Bo nodded and said to Wang Xiaoyu: "It seems that Abatai is still unwilling to send us some heads."

Wang Xiaoyu laughed: "The rescue battalion and the first battalion of flintlock pistols have built a position and wait for them to take the bait, and when the ambush is almost over, how much they can eat depends on how determined the other party is to rescue, it really can't work, let's leave a battalion to besiege Yulin Fort, and the main force will touch Abatai early." ”

Just when the discussion, Yulinpu suddenly made a loud noise, the whole gate collapsed under the continuous impact, Yang Bo grabbed the clairvoyant mirror, countless Tartars hiding at the door were fleeing in a panic, and the auxiliaries who were originally blocked at the door also slowly retreated under the cover, the sword and shield soldiers and flintlock musketeers quickly gathered at the door to prepare to clear the remnants, and the Tartars also poured out a team of soldiers hurriedly came to block the door, the two sides did not have time to fight, the fort suddenly ignited a raging fire, many Tartars with torches ran around, Set fire to everything that can be lit in the fort, it seems that they are burned in despair, and Mao will not leave a single one for the Ming army.

The team of Tartars picked up the javelin bow and crossbow, with the help of the power of running and threw out, and outside the door was the smoke of gunpowder, a row of firearms continued to be released, the two sides of the killing shouts, the screams continued to sound, under the persecution of the Ming army, the team of Tartars only held on for a moment before collapsing, with the clearing of the Ming army continued to drive in, the sound of killing was all over every place in the fort, and after half an hour, the sound of battle in the fort, the killing shouts gradually quieted down......

More than 300 corpses of Houjin defenders were thrown outside the fort, Yang Bo took his eyes off the corpse of a young child with a pig's tail, many auxiliaries were stripping their armor from those armor soldiers in rough movements, and Hu Mazi, who commanded the siege of the fort, reported to Yang Bo in a low voice: "I have suffered more than 50 casualties in this battle. Of these, seven were seriously injured and 22 were lightly injured, and there were not many seizures. Except for armor and weapons. ”

Yang Bo frowned, since the dispatch of troops to Fuzhou, the Iron Fist Brigade has not encountered too many interceptions along the way, starting from Yongning Jian The main forces of the Tunbao Tartars have taken the initiative to retreat, and all the materials have been burned in one fire, but if the Ming army does not approach, the Tartars will leave more than 100 people to stick to the Tunbao. The Iron Fist Brigade is taking the initiative to attack, but it looks like Abatai is taking the initiative to lure the enemy deeper while clearing the wilderness. This thought made Yang Bo a little alert.

In Wangjiatun, Xushan, five miles north of Yulinpu, Li Dali, the acting commander of the Chinese army, was using a clairvoyant mirror to look at the countless black shadows emerging on the opposite horizon. After a while. A golden dragon banner slowly rose on the horizon, more and more post-golden armor soldiers were gathering, and with the horn rising, these vests were divided into two groups, slowly approaching the Ming army's position.

"Shield!"

Li Dali issued an order to the Chinese army Tangma, and this time the reinforcements were under his command, including heavy defense, rescue, and the first battalion of Suifa and the first artillery battalion. There was also a cavalry battalion ambushed a mile to the left of their position, and Li Dali knew that whether or not this battle could be fought well would directly affect his position in the hearts of the adults in the future. Definitely can't mess it up.

In the hot sun, those cavalry slowly approached, in order to lure the Tartars to take the bait, the whole large circle array was arranged a little loosely, some discarded wheel shields and so on were thrown in front of the circle array, giving the Tartars the illusion that the Ming army was in a hurry to meet the enemy, in the protective circle composed of trailers, the soldiers of the heavy defense battalion erected their spears, and the flintlock pistol soldiers in the front row put their guns on the shields of the carriage to aim, seeing that the enemy cavalry was getting closer and closer, and the instructors at all levels shuttled around the circle formation, while cheering up the soldiers.

"Brothers, all steady, don't be in a hurry to shoot"

"Wait for the Tartars to come into range before they hit!"

The enemy cavalry is getting closer and closer, the front few Tartars are extraordinarily burly, riding on horses and thinking of a hill to move, they are carrying heavy shields or long-handled blades, with fierce expressions, the Ming army has fought more than these Tartars, knowing that they are all heavily armored soldiers, not only wearing iron armor on the outside, but also wearing a layer of chain mail on the inside, and the archers are cruising behind.

A short and stout, with three black flags on his back, came out of the crowd, a few armor soldiers with the same body and a large body followed closely behind his horse, carrying a thick long knife, and a few took off the step bow on their backs, and held their arms to prepare for the attack, this wave of about 100 cavalry rushed towards the Ming army in a round formation, without any provocation and shouting, but the pressure of the battle still made everyone feel heavy, although the battalions responsible for reinforcements were veterans who had experienced several baptisms of war.

"Three hundred steps!" The watchman screamed sharply, and the flintlock soldiers with their guns aimed at them remained silent, waiting for the Tartars to come within their range if they survived the baptism of the six-pounder guns.

With a wave of his hand, more than 100 riders behind him suddenly pulled the reins of the horse, and everyone fell on the horse's back in unison and began to accelerate, and the thunderous sound of horses' hooves also sounded.

Boom!

The two six-pounder cannons fired first, and countless iron screamers stabbed at the enemy cavalry pressing on the front, and the Ming soldiers in the front row saw that the heavy shields in the hands of the thickest vests on the opposite side were torn apart like paper paste, and then many armored soldiers lying on horseback flew up violently, and the stumps and broken arms rushed in all directions, and the screams suddenly became louder.

A large cloud of gunpowder smoke continued to rise from the Ming army's position, and the six-pounder cannon barrel slammed into the back, spraying out the filled iron, and the Tartar cavalry formation was in chaos, and many light horsemen in the rear row suddenly pulled their horses' heads, preventing the momentum of the mounts from continuing to charge.

"Put!"

As the order was given, the first row of musketeers immediately pulled the trigger, and the smoke of gunpowder rose one after another in the car formation in front of the circle, and dozens of muskets fired fiercely at the enemy cavalry that crossed the artillery bombardment.

"Put!"

The first row of firecrackers retreated, the second row stepped forward to fill the vacant space, and a large stream of gunpowder smoke erupted, and the remnants of the vests were knocked to the ground in succession, and the iron tore through their protection, passing through the flesh, and shattering the internal organs and bones, and many of the wounded who had not died for a while fell a hundred steps in front of the circle, and the bitter howl mixed with blood came far away.

At this moment, under the banner of the golden dragon in the distance, the long and poignant horn suddenly sounded, and the third row of firecrackers was a little stunned when they stepped forward, and the Tartar light armor archers who entered the firing range suddenly turned their horses' heads when they heard the horn, and retreated recklessly to the back, even ignoring the bodies of the wounded and the dead who were thrown in front of the Ming army?

At the command office of the Chinese army, Li Dali also frowned and looked at the other party's actions,

"What is this?" The rescue camp king Iron Hammer shouted with some dissatisfaction: "Ran away after such a temptation?" Where did the courage of the Tartars go? ”

Lu Ruohan smiled and said in the words of the Ming official, who was not too fluent: "Who let the firepower of our artillery battalion be too strong, how many lives do the Tartars have to fill in before they can break through the fire network?" ”

Wang Tiehammer said hatefully: "What are you happy about? We set up a trap carefully, but I didn't expect the tartar to smell it on the side of the bait and run away, you can keep it and tell the adults."

Lu Ruohan shrugged indifferently: "That's the truth, what's the way?" The Tartars have fought us so many times, do you expect the Tartars to be stupid enough to slam their heads against the wall? ”

Wang Tiezhu stopped talking and looked at Li Dali, anyway, the acting commander was Li Dali, and it had nothing to do with him.

Zhao Long rushed in and muttered, "How is it, isn't it time for our cavalry battalion to attack?" ”

Li Dali put down the clairvoyant mirror and shook his head: "The Tartars' behavior is very suspicious, send someone to contact the adults, and wait for the Iron Fist Brigade to join forces and then slowly force this cavalry and drive them to Gaizhou City." ”

Zhao Long looked at the Tartar cavalry who had returned to the division in a hurry, and shouted in a hurry: "The Tartars have been defeated, at this time, we will not chase the tail and expand the results, how long will we wait?" Ordered, right? The brothers of the cavalry battalion are in a hurry! ”

Li Dali said coldly: "I repeat, the whole army is on alert and is not allowed to pursue." ”

Zhao Long suddenly said angrily: "The cavalry battalion is not under your control, your task of sniping the Tartars has been completed, and then it's up to our cavalry battalion!" ”

After speaking, the angry Zhao Long shook his hand and turned around and left. Li Dali signaled to the guards of the Chinese army, several guards drew their knives, and pointed their crossbows at Zhao Long and others, and the faces of several officers who followed Zhao Long changed greatly, but they were a little hesitant and did not dare to draw their swords to resist.

"I am the acting commander, and the cavalry battalion is also under my command, you Zhao Long dare not say a word, Lao Tzu will cut you now!" Li Dali looked at Zhao Long, who was furious, and said word by word.

The other chief officers were startled when they saw this scene, and hurriedly separated the two to persuade them, Zhao Long pointed at Li Dali's nose and scolded: "Grass you **** bear, you fight like a girl, you are scared when you see the Tartar **, right?" Damn, I'm going to tell you for delaying the fighter plane."

"Take it out and confin" Li Dali was furious and said sharply.

Several officers of the cavalry battalion were disarmed in Zhao Long's scolding, and they were pushed and escorted out...... (To be continued......)
