General Jin's inference was not wrong, the blocking position that had been completed dozens of miles away was definitely more than ten times better than that used by the 500 Tiger and Leopard Army......

The position used by the Haw Par Army at the beginning can be called a blocking position at best.

And the positions built by the new Korean army in front of them can already be described as military fortresses.

The trench, which should have been only one zhang wide and five feet deep, was directly dug by them into a huge trap two feet wide and one zhang deep.

As for the excavated soil and rocks, they were directly piled up into a wall of earth that was one foot high and two feet wide...... No, this can no longer be called an earthen wall, but a city wall......

In addition to the horse traps and earthen walls on the surface, the 5,000 Korean New Army also used the inexhaustible logs on both sides of the official road to build dense log barbs, which were inserted upside down on the official roads in front of and behind the positions, slowing down the Tartars' offensive speed and increasing the time for the Korean New Army's firepower......

Just when all the positions were completed, just waiting for the arrival of the Tartars.

The figure of the Tartar scout finally appeared in the field of vision of the new Korean army.

At the same time, Ao Bai, who had received the scout's report, walked to the high ground about a mile away from the earthen wall with a solemn face, and observed the fortress that had suddenly appeared in front of him with a clairvoyant eye......

"The soil of the earthen wall is all new, and a large number of traps have been dug in front of the earthen wall...... Obviously, this is a temporary fort built by the North Korean army in order to prevent us from attacking Pyongyang...... "Ao Bai, who held clairvoyance, said to himself with a solemn face while observing possible loopholes in the fortress......

In a word, I just said yes. The military that followed closely around him. He immediately added: "General." This fortress was not only just built by the Koreans, but it was the last fortress on our offensive route. After passing this fortress and marching forward for another thirty miles, you can see the walls of Pyongyang...... And on this thirty-mile-long offensive road, it is all a plain with a flat river, and there is no danger to defend at all......"

Ao Bai nodded and affirmed: "In this case, then we will take this fortress in front of us and directly attack the outside of Pyongyang......"

"I would have seen this kind of blocking position in front of me...... No surprises. These positions must have been built with the help of the Haw Par Army. Otherwise, with the skills of the North Koreans, they would never have been able to build such a tricky position......"

After finishing speaking, Ao Bai's words suddenly changed, and he continued: "At the beginning, time was pressing, and the troops in the hands of the general were limited, so there was no way to take down the Tiger and Leopard Army in the defensive position......"

"This time, Ben will have plenty of time and troops, no matter how tricky the position is. ...... take it down."

After speaking, he bowed with a stern face. A series of military orders were issued......

Subsequently, a large number of Tartars went into the dense forests on both sides of the official road and used logs to make zuò shields and shield carts......

A day later, the remaining five thousand iron horsemen in Aobai's hands, without exception, all carried a very heavy shield.

At the same time, dozens of shield carts, which required four or five people to push together, also appeared around the Tartar barracks......

After the preparation was completed, a thousand Tartars, mixed with a large number of archers, directly under the orders of Ao Bai, abandoned their war horses and began to attack the positions of the new Korean army on foot......

At first, these Tartars attacked very smoothly, rushing all the way to a distance of 100 paces, and were not counterattacked by the new Korean army.

After all, the muskets of the North Korean new army are equipped with limited power......

Even the muskets in the hands of the Tiger and Leopard Army did not pose any threat to the Tartars holding shields a hundred paces away, let alone the North Korean New Army.

However, the good luck of the Tartars, here, is completely over.

The log barbs that had been inserted upside down in the dirt by the North Korean New Army were directly in front of the shield carts used by the Tartars to protect against buckshot.

Facing the dense log barbs in front of him, General Tartar directly showed a very embarrassed expression on his face.

Because, at this moment, he has to face two very difficult choices......

Abandon the shield cart and follow the gap between the log barbs to continue the attack......

It's just that in this way, the Houjin warriors who stand in front of them will be exposed to the enemy too early.

If the army in front of them is the Tiger and Par Army, then in the entire attack, the warriors under their command will definitely suffer heavy losses......

If you choose not to give up on the shield cart, then you must send someone to rush in front of the shield cart and clear the log barbs that are in front of the shield cart.

However, there are two drawbacks to doing so......

First, I have to spend a lot of time cleaning up the log barbs...... And on the battlefield, no matter what kind of battle, pay attention to a soldier and speed.

If you are struggling on the offensive road and refuse to attack...... Not only will Ao Bai not let himself go, but he will not set himself on fire.

As for the second drawback, it is the soldier who rushes in front of the shield cart and clears the log barbs.

Under the blow of the opponent's powerful musket, these soldiers who were ordered to rush to the front of the shield cart and clean up the log barbs must have died and had a good chance of survival......

After some thought, the Tartar general decisively chose the first way to attack, abandoning the shield cart and covering the attack with a shield......

Abandoning the heavy shield cart is very good news for many Tartars.

However, when they carried their shields and re-entered the dense log barbed forest, they found that it was very difficult to attack in the dense barbed forest......

In this case, the attack speed of the Tartars, under the influence of dense barbs, was reduced to less than fifty percent of the original ......

Such a good fighter, of course, the new Korean army hiding on the earthen wall will not let it go......

Under the command of the officers of the Haw Par Army, a musket formation was quickly formed.

Then, with the sound of a crisp gunshot, he did not hesitate to pull the trigger of the musket in his hand.

Suddenly, a thousand scorching buckshots, with a whistling sound, flew out of the chamber of the gun and flew towards the Tartar attacking troops......

Eighty paces away, for the musket in the hands of the Haw Par Army, can easily penetrate the shield.

However, for the muskets produced by the North Korean new army, which were produced by cutting corners, the power was still a little insufficient.

So, the lead bullets that whistled and flew towards the Tartars, most of them were deeply embedded in the shields in the hands of the Tartars.

The only thing that made the North Korean new army feel fortunate was that more than 1,000 lead bullets, whether it was a blind cat hitting a dead mouse, or whatever, there were exactly so many dozens of lead bullets, taking advantage of the Tartar's turn, lightly passing through the shield barrier and shooting into the Tartar's body......

Therefore, when the first round of gunfire was over, a scream sounded directly on the battlefield dozens of paces away, and more than twenty Tartars, together with the human shield, fell on the offensive road.

Of course, this was only the beginning, and as the Tartars got closer and closer, the casualties became more and more significant.

However, the opportunity for the DPRK new army to counterattack without worries is only one or two rounds. (To be continued......)
