(0732) In addition to forming the Han Army Banner, Daishan also organized the troops of the Koreans and sent them to the front line of Yangguanbao together. In the previous battles, the Daejin army captured more than 8,000 Koreans, and finally let go of more than 2,000 people, and there are still more than 5,000 left. These people are all under the leadership of Jiang Hongli, the former marshal of the capital. After the surrender of Dajin State, Jiang Hongli was awarded a false title of Jiashan Ezhen, and he was completely isolated from the troops.

If it was before, Dajin Guo wouldn't care about this fish belly army at all. What can a North Korean army of 5,000 do? Their combat effectiveness was even worse than that of the Ming army in Liaodong. Go to the battlefield, in addition to sending death or sending death. But now, Dai Shan must pay attention to it. After all, mosquito meat is also meat, isn't it? 5,000 people went up to make cannon fodder, which could also consume a lot of ammunition for the white-clothed army. Anyway, all such troops are gone, and no one will frown.

Li Yongfang and Jiang Hongli were both summoned to the front by Dai Shan. Dai Shan said bluntly: "The front line needs you, bring your respective men and horses, go!" ”

Li Yongfang and Jiang Hongli both had depressed faces, wanting to say something, but it was difficult to say. In the end, they had no choice but to hang their heads and weep in search of their troops. The two of them took refuge in Dajin Kingdom, originally thinking that they could mix a prosperous and wealthy family, at least they would end up with no shortage of food and clothing, but they didn't expect that they didn't even touch the threshold of Dajin Kingdom, and they were going to die again. This time, I'm afraid it's really bad luck. The white-clothed army is murderous.

The news from Yangguanbao, Li Yongfang and Jiang Hongli knew a little bit. It is said that the situation is very bad. The Dajin army killed so many people in the battle, even if Nurhachi wanted to hide it, he couldn't hide it. The rear vaguely knew that the front line was defeated, and it was the kind that was defeated. In such a situation, let them go to the front line to support, it is clear that they want to be cannon fodder and send them to death! Otherwise, with their abilities, what else can they do? Even the Dajin Army is no match for the White Army, can they defeat the White Army?

But what can they say? What do they dare to say? Dai Shan is not a merciful Lord, he used to kill decisively on the battlefield. Under his butcher's knife, it is not known how many people died. At least more than 10% of the blood of the Han people in the entire Liaodong region was caused by Dai Shan's own hands. If they arouse the suspicion of Daishan, they will not see the sun tomorrow at all. Nurhachi sent the white tooth ladu beside him, what did they dare to do?

There was no way, so the two had to reluctantly cheer up, take troops from all over the country, follow behind the Mongolian cavalry, and go south together. As if feeling his own road to the end, those soldiers of the Han Army Banner, as well as the Korean soldiers, were also depressed and lifeless. However, they did not dare to run away. Because, the Dajin army rode archers, and they were all staring at them.

…… In the southern Liaoning region, the front line of Yangguanbao, at night.

The cold winter night, with a thick chill, is blown by a howling north wind from time to time. In the sky, there is only faint moonlight and starlight. It was already approaching the end of the month, and the moon had turned into a small scythe, hanging crumblingly in the sky, as if it would fall at any moment. Next to the scythe, there were several small and feeble stars, which were emitting a dim light. It's okay that they don't glow. Their glow makes the starry sky even darker.

This kind of moonlight and starlight makes everyone feel very tired, tired, sad, and homesick. Especially for the Dajin Army, which has suffered a large number of battle casualties, such moonlight and such starlight make them feel bitter in their hearts. Thinking about what kind of scenery they were at the beginning, they drove the Ming army in the eastern Liaodong region like ducks. Liaodong, this fertile land, is about to belong to them.

However, all this has completely changed with the arrival of the White Army. This process of change is so rapid, so unexpected, so unexpected. Therefore, many Dajin soldiers and soldiers could not accept everything they were facing. But, whether they accept it or not, this is the reality. The white-clothed army has slain in front of them, and their fallen companions will never rise. And whether they will be able to keep their surnames is also unknown. The battle is far from over.

In the darkness, the sound of horses' hooves could be faintly heard. This is the sentry of the Daikin army swimming back and forth to prevent the enemy's night attack. The former Dajin Army Sentinel Cavalry, stimulated by constant victories, was always very active. They always extend the scope of the vigilance to a long distance. They are not afraid of any enemy at all. However, all this has also been changed by the white army. In order to avoid being shot by the white soldiers, they narrowed the warning area to the maximum.

For the sake of safety, Nurhachi and other high-ranking officials of the Dajin Kingdom set up their own camp tents in the middle of the entire Dajin military camp tent. Around these tents, all the white tooth lamas are in charge of it. Anyone who comes close will be subjected to intense interrogation. These personal guards of Nurhachi are only responsible for Nurhachi alone, and everyone else does not recognize them. Even if Abatai and others come to ask for a meeting, they must be seriously checked for identity.

There is no way, the muskets of the white-clothed army are indeed too powerful. They didn't even miss the opportunity to harass the Dajin army at night. Xu Xingxia was unwilling to let Jianyu wait for the war to start in peace, so he asked Liu Chuang to send a few sniper detachments to go out to find trouble with Jianlu. When shooting, the Han-style rifle will not produce white smoke and will not reveal the position, which is most suitable for snipers. With Jianyu's reaction level, it should not be to the point of hearing and distinguishing objects.

Liu Chuang was originally a brain melon, and he liked to join in the fun the most, so he took Xu Xingxia's order as an arrow, and sent more than a dozen teams in one go. Each squad consisted of three to five people, specializing in sneaking up on Jianyu's sentinels. Obviously, the unsuspecting Jianyu Sentinel was easily succeeded by a sneak attack. Since the start of the war, because of the night attack of the white-clothed army, the Dajin army has lost hundreds of people. Gradually, Jianyu's sentinels did not dare to come out to act.

No, after it was completely dark, several squads of chaser warriors quietly crawled out from behind the walls of Yangguan Fort, lurking in the low-lying places on the battlefield, looking for targets to shoot at. Their mission is to shoot the living target of the Dajin Army from a long distance. Jianyu's sentry couldn't see it, so he specifically looked for Jianlu's fixed sentry, or someone else. These people are all snipers of the chasseurs, and the Han-style rifles they are equipped with are equipped with scopes, and they can still be lethal with one shot at a range of three or four hundred meters.

If the distance is indeed too far, they will continue to find a way to lurk until the target is in effective range. As a result, the dark and cold winter nights, sporadic gunshots, kept coming, which made the Dajin army upside down. In the sniper range of the Han-style rifle, the scouts, swimming sentinels, and sentry horses of the Dajin Army kept falling. Even the white swing tooth cavalry who patrolled back and forth also suffered heavy losses from guns and bullets.

The Dajin army wanted to fight back, but was counterattacked by more chasseur troops. In the rear of each sniper detachment, there were fire support groups. Realizing that the situation was not right, they immediately launched heavy fire to cover the sniper's retreat. Jianyu fought back several times, but suffered even greater losses. I had no choice but to withdraw the team in a huff.

Originally, the Dajin Army, except for feeling a little breathless, didn't notice anything for the time being. However, Nurhachi, who counted the casualties, couldn't help frowning. In one night, the Dajin army actually lost more than 200 people. At such a rate of loss, in a few days, the loss of the Dajin army will exceed a thousand people.

"Can anyone tell me what kind of musket the White Coats are using?" Nurhachi couldn't help but get mad. Dead during the day, dead at night, the number of the Dajin Army is not many in the first place, how many people can die? If it weren't for waiting for the Mongols, Nurhachi really wanted to withdraw his troops. It's really sad to be beaten passively like this.

However, there is no one to answer Nurhachi's question. Eyidu and the others all looked at each other and lowered their heads in shame. In fact, until now, they don't even have a clear understanding of the specific shape of the muskets equipped by the white-clothed army, let alone anything else. The muskets of the white-clothed army were still a pure mystery in their eyes.

"Great Khan, this is a musket sent by the Four Beylers, captured from the hands of the White Army." Fortunately, just as Nurhachi was preparing to go berserk, Huang Taiji sent a sample of the Yue Yue Gong seized by Zhengbai Qi, as well as an accompanying explanation of the situation.

Nurhachi's face suddenly gloomy, and he ordered the people around him to test the muskets, while listening carefully to the news sent by Huang Taiji. The high-level leaders of the Dajin Kingdom also gathered together to test the power of the moon gun with their own eyes. As a result, the power of the Yue Gong did make the high-level of the Dajin Kingdom solve a lot of mysteries. No wonder the white-clothed army was able to sweep the interior, it turned out to have such sharp firearms. The power of the Moon Gun is definitely the best among muskets.

However, after all the experiments were over, everyone couldn't help but have some doubts in their hearts. Because, even such a musket can't completely annihilate a single bull of the Dajin Army. You must know that at that time, there were only more than 300 people around Xu Xingxia. One gun per person, that is, more than 300 guns, where does such a strong combat effectiveness come from? Besides, if the white-clothed army in Yangguan Fort used such muskets, it would be impossible to stop the attack of the Dajin army. In other words, these muskets have little reference value.

Well, to be precise, it's not completely worthless. Perhaps, the Han craftsmen of Liaodong were able to imitate some of this type of musket. The cavalry archers of the Daejin Army probably did not need to be armed with such muskets, but the Han army flag and the Koreans could be equipped in large quantities. Dead horses are used as live horse doctors, and Nurhachi can't care so much about them.
