Chapter 11: Playing with you in vain

Ask for collections, ask for recommendations, ask for recommendations, ask for rewards

"Whew!" The Jurchens began to blow their horns, and a large number of cavalry, in loose formation, began to prepare for an attack.

"Hey Daddy, this group of Tartars is coming, should we give some more 'gifts'?" Smiling and looking at the Jurchen cavalry that gradually converged in the distance and rushed towards the dangerous mountain, Li Rusong said to his father with a sneer on the corner of his mouth.

At this time, the city wall of the dangerous mountain, after the reconstruction of the Ming army for a whole night, has changed greatly: a large number of thick door panels are placed on the battlements, and only one or several holes with a diameter of about 20 centimeters are left on each door panel. The Ming army was in groups of three to five, one person was responsible for firing muskets, bows and arrows through small holes, and the remaining few people were complex to warn the enemy under the city whether to use ladders, and at the same time were responsible for loading "ammunition" and being ready to fight hand-to-hand with the enemy climbing the mountain wall.

With 200 muskets of various styles in the entire dangerous mountain, plus the firearms robbed by his father and son and Luo Xin, Li Rusong barely scraped together 240 muskets, but fortunately, the gunpowder was sufficient.

Then Li Rusong resorted to trench warfare and bunker warfare in modern warfare, using the large pieces of wood piled up in the dangerous mountain city, and used the city wall to erect battlements for firing muskets and bows and arrows, and forcibly transformed them into anti-bow and arrow bunkers.

Then Li Rusong used seven or eight lookout posts on the inside of the dangerous mountain city wall, and each lookout post was arranged with three soldiers, two of whom held shields to block arrows, and one person was responsible for lookout and judging the enemy's distance.

"Hey Dad, we just need to wait for Uncle Pan's signal, and then just shoot and release arrows. Isn't the Tartar a self-proclaimed warrior? See what else their bow horses can do this time! Standing on the city wall with a sneer, looking at the Jurchen Tartars killed in the distance, Li Rusong said quietly.

"What is this?" Stunned to look at everything on the wall of the dangerous mountain, Wang Gao muttered to himself, he boasted that he had also mixed in the Ming army and had seen people in the world, but all this in front of him had never been seen or heard!

Wang Gao couldn't help but feel weak for a while, on the surface, he played the banner of restoring the glory of the Jurchen ancestors and expelling the barbarians of the Ming Dynasty to cover up his rebellious intentions, but in fact, for the sake of greater rights, who let the "civil servants" of the Ming Dynasty who did not do it and ran to become a "horse bandit" who had no fixed residence?

"Bayan! You take the warriors of the tribe to follow the Hada Department and the Yehe Department to attack, remember not to rush too far ahead, I feel that this group of Ming troops is a bit weird, let our warriors be careful" After thinking for a long time, Wang Gao still decided to fight, after all, this time he and the Yehe Department and the Hada Department agreed to attack together, if he was afraid of the battle and did not send troops at this time, it was indeed a bit unreasonable.

"Damn it! Qingganu and Meng Gelu are two idiots. Let them drive those Ming Dynasty people to attack the city and try to explore the reality of the mountain. These two guys are so greedy for these coolies that they want to add slaves to the tribe and refuse! They're only going to lose more of their lives! Gritting his teeth angrily and scolding the other two tribal leaders, Wang Gao stared at the dangerous mountain city in the distance, this was the biggest military operation since his defection!

"Whew!" The hordes of Jurchen cavalry, howling like wolves, frantically drove their horses towards the dangerous mountains, which seemed to them to be just an ordinary fortress, and with only a few rounds of attacks, it would be like those villages, succumbing to their horses, scimitars, bows and arrows, and letting them want and desire!

When the cavalry was about 100 meters away from the city wall of the dangerous mountain, all the cavalry slowed down and began to draw their bows and arrows to suppress the Ming army at the head of the city, and at the same time consume the "ammunition" of the Ming army. Behind them were a large group of infantry pushing wooden shield carts wrapped in cooked cowhides, slowly approaching the city walls, behind the shield carts were auxiliaries armed with giant axes, chisels and bows and arrows, they relied on the protection of the shield carts to approach the city walls, attacking with bows and arrows at close range, and at the same time chiseling through the walls with giant axes and chisels!

"Stay calm, everyone, and wait for my signal before attacking! Leave the infantry alone, your mission is to attack the cavalry! Li Rusong drew his sword in his hand and ran around the city wall to boost morale while giving orders.

"Brothers, look at this group of Jurchen turtles! I don't have any pants to wear, and my bare ass is hanging around in the dangerous mountains! Ya is a group of beggars, you are our regular army! Beat me hard and beat the dog Tartar. My dad and I give credit to everyone! "Last night, Li Rusong successfully used the two Tartars, which stimulated the morale of the Ming army in the dangerous mountains, and at the same time convinced everyone and began to admit that this child was one of them.

There are even many soldiers who believe that although Li Rusong is only ten years old, he is the son of Li Chengliang. Last night, Li Chengliang's reorganization of the dangerous mountain, and later the Tartar attack was not afraid of danger, calm and calm command, but it was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and his son personally killed two Tartars, so the soldiers all thought that with the Li family's father and son, he would at least not be used as cannon fodder by Xu Kui as before.

Trust is a very strange thing, it does not need flowery words and actions, in the eyes of this group of soldiers who guard the frontier and fight with the Jurchens and Mongols, the commander who takes the lead and is brave and good at fighting is the most trustworthy. At the very least, you can be treated equally, and you don't have to worry about being sacrificed as cannon fodder.

Xu Kui was killed yesterday, and the biggest reason why he did not cause a mutiny was that he did not gain the trust of the soldiers. The fact that he prepared horses for himself and a few of his cronies in the dangerous mountain city, and was ready to escape at any time was well known in the dangerous mountains. and his behavior of withholding the soldiers' rations to fill their own pockets, which made most of the soldiers dissatisfied. and many other things, so that Xu Kui lost the awe of the soldiers, only deep hatred!

"There will be a heart of death, and there will be no greed for life!" Under the protection of Seng Lingqin, standing on the city wall, silently observing the Jurchen cavalry gradually approaching in the distance, Li Rusong thought silently in his heart.

The first round of attacks by the Jurchen Tartars basically did not cause any casualties to the dangerous mountain, except for a few unlucky people who were killed by bows and arrows that accidentally passed through the shooting hole. Most of the soldiers were well protected by wooden planks, but according to Li Chengliang's orders, they silently opened their bows and arrows, lit paper media, and waited for the attack signal.

The effective range of firearms in the Ming Dynasty is generally 180 meters, which is the best distance for firearms to attack, which can maximize the power of various firearms. Li Rusong specially searched for the soldiers who were good at calculating the distance in the dangerous mountain city, and asked him to be responsible for calculating the distance at the lookout post, shouting 150 meters away.

"The enemy is in range!" Suddenly, the lookout post behind him came with an attack signal, this signal was specially designed by Li Rusong, he really didn't know how far the Ming Dynasty's so-called 100 steps was, he simply believed in the soldier's calculation ability, anyway, he was not afraid of the enemy rushing up by relying on the strong city.

"Ready! Shoot! Several tall and burly officers heard the signal and immediately drew their swords and ordered to open fire.

"Boom!" "Boom!" With a jurley of sounds, the first wave of attacks quickly enveloped the Jurchen cavalry troops, and the soldiers were untrained and the timing of the attack was uneven.

It's a pity that the Jurchen cavalry is used to bullying the Ming army, and they didn't expect the Ming army to be so sharp, and when the attack came, most of the cavalry stayed in place stupidly, and wanted to attack the Ming army on the city wall, only a few elite knights rode back and forth to run around.

"Ahh

"Help me!" ……

This negligence soon caused huge casualties to the Jurchen cavalry, the first wave of more than 300 cavalry was killed more than 80 people, and the rest were wounded one by one, so frightened that the wolves rushed to the pigs, one by one screamed and turned their heads and ran, completely ignoring the infantry behind them, and not even in the mood to rescue their wounded companions.

"Boom, that's right, baby! Daddy will send you to Hades! With a grim smile on the corner of his mouth, Li Rusong muttered words that only he could understand, and gave a new round of attack orders.

At this time, the infantry's shield chariot phalanx had already entered the firing range, and another secret weapon of Dangerous Mountain City was finally about to appear.

Tiger squat cannon: The tiger squat cannon made in the Jiajing period, 1 foot 9 inches (about 0.6 meters) long, weighs 36 catties (about 21.5 kilograms), is equipped with iron claws, iron trips, and the cannon body can be fixed on the ground with a large iron nail before firing, similar to a tiger squat, this kind of cannon overcomes the shortcomings of large recoil and strong beating when firing. "Ming Huidian. According to the Ministry of Industry, the "Poisonous Fire Flying Fight" manufactured in the fourth year of Jiajing (1525), the barrel was made of wrought iron, containing more than ten taels of gunpowder, the shell was cast by pig iron, and the bullet was filled with "five taels of arsenic and sulfur poison", and after ignition, "the Flying Fight was beaten 200 steps (about 330 meters) away, and it was broken and injured."

This kind of damn thing, there are still five in the warehouse in the dangerous mountain, and a large number of matching shells. Li Rusong was like a treasure, and placed these five cannons in the five corners of the city wall, aiming at the central position.

"Fire!" Before the dazed Jurchen infantry could figure out why their knights were retreating, a new round of attacks by the Ming army appeared above their heads!

The shield cart infantry had been pushing the cart just now, so they didn't pay attention to the first round of attacks on the dangerous mountain, and the cavalry ran away, and they were still stupidly continuing to advance, which gave the tiger squat cannon a huge space to play.

"Hehe, the lethality of the Tiger Squat Cannon's long-range attack is really not hit. But dear, what if it's a distance of 150 meters? Seeing a large number of shield car infantry being blown apart under the fire of the Tiger Squat Cannon, Li Rusong's tense face finally showed a smile, everything was under his control!

"It doesn't matter who you are, even if the wild boar skin of **Hachi comes, the master will play with you for nothing! Look at how many people you have, you come to send you to death, brother doesn't mind sending you on the road! Unhurriedly ordered to stop the attack after three rounds of artillery bombardment, Li Rusong stood on the city wall with great interest, watching nearly 200 Jurchen shield soldiers die under the tiger squatting cannon, and couldn't help but secretly YY.

Distant Jurchen Camp:

"Ahh Then our warriors will die in vain! The three Jurchen leaders watched everything that happened under the city from afar, and they all couldn't help but think about it.

The most valuable wealth of the Jurchen tribes is those soldiers who are good at riding and archery, and it is difficult to replenish such soldiers. An elite cavalryman dies in battle, and it takes years to train an equally elite soldier. If the warriors of the tribe are killed and wounded too much, then the tribe is completely finished, and there is no other way but to be swallowed.

For the Jurchens, strong cavalry not only brought security to the tribe, but they were also able to go out and plunder, bringing more population and wealth to the tribe, making the tribe more prosperous. For them, population is the most precious and the most unaffordable!

In the attack of the Ming army just now, dozens of warriors were killed, and even if the remaining injured were rescued, they would die more than they could survive by relying on the rudimentary medical methods of the Jurchens. This is simply cutting the hearts of the three leaders, and they are all heartbroken.

It's a pity that before Wang Gao and others could finish their three-minute silence for their cavalry, the Ming army gave them another big gift: the attacking shield soldiers and shield carts were almost wiped out!

A cold wind blew, and all the Jurchens shivered involuntarily: Can we win?

"Hey, hey! You will never be able to beat me Li Rusong! ”
