"General, there is a situation...... Zhou Shuyuan, who was standing behind Wei Zheng's side, frowned, and subconsciously let out an exclamation.

With the help of the monoculars, Wei Zheng clearly saw that thousands of infantry were driven by the Tatar soldiers behind him, like a wave, quickly sweeping towards the battlefield.

Because the Haw Par Army had abandoned its front-line positions, the thousands of infantry who followed the battle easily advanced to the front line of the earthen wall where several white Tartars were hidden.

What shocked Wei Zheng even more was that after entering the battlefield, these infantry followers did not climb the earthen wall as recklessly as they had just now, and climbed over the earthen wall to continue to attack.

Instead, under the gaze of the Haw Par Army, a shovel was drawn from the back, ready to use the shovel to flatten the earthen wall in front of him and open the way for attack.

Seeing that the earthen wall in front of the enemy was getting thinner and thinner, he had no way to fight the Tartars. The already solemn expression on Wei Zheng's face became even more ugly at this moment.

After taking a deep breath, he said to Zhou Shuyuan: "I didn't expect that the Tartar, who has always been straight-headed, could also think of a way to excavate the earth. Now it seems that the role of our first line of defense is over here. ”

Zhou Shuyuan nodded first, then shook his head again, and finally spoke: "General, the situation is much stricter than what you said. ”

"I don't know if you saw it, but the main forces attacking us are all Tartar infantry. The real Tartar didn't even show his head except to hide behind and throw arrows at us. I'm worried about ......"

Zhou Shuyuan had just said this, and when he was about to continue, Wang Feng suddenly said: "Military Division, do you suspect that the Tartars will attack us with infantry and consume our ......troops?"

Zhou Shuyuan nodded and affirmed: "In the Houjin army, although the real Tartar soldiers are limited, there are many infantry composed of Han people. What's more, no matter how many people these infantry lost in the service, the Tartars were not heartbroken. ”

After a trace of gloom quickly flashed on Wei Zheng's solemn face, he affirmed in a firm tone: "Using infantry to launch a crowd tactic against us is the only way for Dolgon to defeat our Tiger and Leopard Army at the lowest cost......"

"Now it seems that our Haw Par Army will face another unprecedented crisis."

After determining the specific method of sending Dolgon, especially when they heard the last sentence that Wei Zheng had just said, several people seemed to have discussed it, and their faces showed heartfelt worried expressions at the same time.

Zhou Shuyuan, the military advisor, said with a heavy face: "General, although we rely on the sharpness of firearms, we have defeated the Tartars on the battlefield many times. However, our forces are limited after all. After the Tartars launched the crowd tactic, even if we exchanged one life for ten lives of the infantry, the Tartars only needed to consume 10,000 infantry to defeat us completely. ”

"In addition, as long as the Tartars are in our Ming Dynasty, they can obtain a steady stream of Han Chinese to form infantry and follow us to launch an attack on us. However, our Tiger and Leopard Army is not good, even if we add more than 1,000 young people in Mushroom Valley, we only have more than 2,000 troops and troops, and compared with Dolgon, we can't afford to fight at all. ”

Wei Zheng said with a silent face: "Therefore, we must do everything possible to reduce our own casualties, and control the ratio of casualties between us and the enemy from ten to one to fifteen to one, or even twenty to one. ”

Then, a trace of confidence quickly flashed from Wei Zheng's face and continued.

"Infantry followers are also human beings, as long as they are human beings, they will be afraid, they will be afraid."

"When we destroy enough infantry followers on the battlefield, the battlefield is covered with the corpses of infantry followers, so that the infantry followers fear us more than the Tartars. When the time comes, the Han Chinese, who have been captured by the Tartars, will not attack us, but will attack their masters in order to survive under the threat of fear. ”

"At that time, the infantry will no longer be the slavery of the Tartars, but the pile of gunpowder that we bury next to the Tartars and may be detonated at any time, blowing up the Tartars themselves."

The idea is great, but it is difficult to actually implement it.

Even if the Tartars have shields for cover, there will always be a few arrows in each round of arrows that pass through the gaps in the shields and kill and injure the soldiers hiding under the shields.

Therefore, on the battlefield where bullets rain and arrows are flying, it is almost impossible to artificially control the casualties of several parties except to withdraw from the battlefield.

As a result, the expectant eyes of several people converged on Wei Zheng again as if they had been discussed.

did not disappoint everyone, under everyone's gaze, a very unexpected and bold decision blurted out of Wei Zheng's mouth.

"The greatest threat to us from the Tartars is the arrows... As long as we take the initiative to withdraw from the battlefield before the Tartar archers are in range, the Tartar archers will not be able to exert their power at all. Then our losses on the battlefield will plummet, and it is possible that there will be no casualties..."

"yes, just hit it...."

"In the next positional battle, the artillery replaced the spear battalion in the battlefield and sang the leading role..."

"As soon as the enemy comes into range, the artillery scattered along the front line of the position immediately opens fire, killing and wounding the enemy's attacking troops with shells as much as possible. As for the musket battalions, taking advantage of the range of the new arquebuses, together with the artillery battalions, they shot as much of the enemy's living forces as possible before the Tartar archers were in effective range. ”

"However, as soon as the enemy enters the effective range of the bow and arrows and begins to shoot arrows at us, the participating troops must withdraw from their positions at the first time and go to the second line of defense to deploy and continue to block the enemy's ......"

As soon as Wei Zheng's voice fell, Zhou Shuyuan reminded with a worried face.

"General, in this way, these defensive lines we have arranged outside the Mushroom Valley will not be able to kill and injure too many Tartars...."

Wei Zheng shook his head and retorted: "No, just relying on artillery and muskets to shoot the enemy from a long distance can also bring a lot of casualties to the enemy..."

"We have a total of ten defensive lines outside the mushroom valley, and according to this style of play, the first few lines of defense really can't kill too many enemies. However, as the battle continues and the enemy's morale and confidence continue to fade, so does the pace of their attacks. ”

"At that time, the longer the enemy remains on the battlefield, the greater the results we will achieve with artillery and muskets."

"Besides, our Haw Par Army's real reliance is not on the trenches under our feet, but on the city walls that have already been built. The reason why such a large group of trenches was built was to buy time for the construction of the city wall fortifications. ”

"Now that the fortifications of the city walls have been completed, it means that the trenches under our feet have lost their true meaning. To be able to use this trench group under your feet to kill so many enemies is already an accident within an accident..."
