Hilgen and Zu Zerun didn't expect that they had sent thousands of men to attack a village that was only a thousand people at most, and they fought for an hour, but they still didn't get in!

"If there is artillery in the east, won't you change places if you can't get through!" Hilgen was furious.

"Master, there are still spears and ironclad soldiers in that village, even if there is no cannon, they can't rush up, so you have to build some ladders and rush cars." Niu Lu's face was really full of panic and sweating like rain. What he didn't dare to say was that the tiger squat cannon in the village was carried by two people, and even if they attacked on another side, they still couldn't escape the fire of the tiger squat cannon.

"Surrounded on all sides!" Hilgen was furious, and turned to Zu Zerun and said: "General Zu, the Han army still needs to work harder, as long as the wall is broken, it depends on the strength of my Zhushen armor soldiers!" ”

――Break down the wall, there is a flock of sheep inside, and it depends on your strength?

Zu Zerun was unhappy in his heart, nodded with a gloomy face, and said, "I will send another three hundred people, I don't believe that I can't beat a small village!" ”

Pangjiazhuang has a registered population of 836 people. This is a standard new-style village on the North China Plain after the merger of the village. The walls of the stockade are made of civil engineering materials, with obvious concave arcs. The houses in the village are planned horizontally and vertically, like a square tofu block.

Although there are only 50 trained villagers, the enemy is present, and all strong men can wear armor and guns and go to the wall to defend the defense. Even women, children, the old and the weak, helped transport the wounded, boiled water to make food, and guarded grain, grass and warehouses. Those half-grown children, who had learned a simple formation arrangement in the physical education class of the village school, were now full of excitement to form a phalanx, and roared twice from time to time to strengthen their morale.

"Reinforcements are coming!" The eye-eyed haode people soon spotted the dust raised from the south, as well as the Daming red flag fluttering in the wind.

The Vanguard Division of the 2nd Battalion and 3rd Headquarters of the 1st Guards Division moved into position a quarter of an hour ago, sent scouts to ascertain the enemy's situation, took a short rest, and immediately entered the battle.

This vanguard division is the phalanx division. Most of the soldiers were new recruits, and they set foot on the battlefield for the first time under the leadership of veterans. Nervousness was inevitable in this state, but when he saw that the troops in the east were not in formation at all, his morale suddenly rose.

"Pre~~" the general with the rank of major commanded.

The spears were raised in unison.

Niu Lu, who was commanding the attack on the village, suddenly felt a tightening in his heart, and hurriedly ordered the armor soldiers to line up. Engage the enemy.

"Ready!" After the long preparation sound, the upright spear was lowered instantly, the phalanx line dispersed in an orderly manner, and the sharp spear head poked out from the side of the comrades in front, ready to meet the enemy.

The Eastern Warriors rushed towards the slowly advancing phalanx, and they soon saw a group of cavalry circling from behind the phalanx to the flanks.

Just looking at the horses, it was clear that these cavalry could not compete with the Manchurian armoured soldiers, but just when the captives were disdainful, this cavalry had already overtaken their spear formation and jumped off their mounts. In front of the formation, a tiger squat cannon was erected.

These specially trained gunners moved swiftly, and in groups of three, they had already arrayed the five tiger squat guns almost instantly. After quickly calculating the distance and elevation angle, the Tiger Squat Cannon fired one after another, and none of the Dongyu soldiers who rushed into twenty paces survived.

"Tiger! Tiger! Tiger! ”

The Ming army marched forward, and at the moment of contacting the enemy, they defeated the Dongyu armor soldiers who only had short soldiers.

Niu Lu Ezhen hurriedly called his men to retreat, and swept across in front of the slow-moving spear array. Frightened into a cold sweat.

After the Pioneer Division, other divisions of the 3,000 headquarters have also moved into place. Both in quantity and in quality, it surpassed the offensive Dongyu. Because the battalion's artillery was still on the road, the artillery that arrived first went directly into the city and took over the 17th artillery used in the village defense. Under the manipulation of professional gunners, this artillery was full of might, and the cannon hit the east and the liver trembled.

Hilgen's first tentative attack in the morning was beaten out of his temper at the first attempt. insisted on uprooting this village that was beyond its own strength. As a result, it was noon, and the Ming army not only came with reinforcements, but also brigade reinforcements.

Hilgen and Zu Zerun finally couldn't sit still, and personally led their troops to the front line, only to see that the attacking force was defeated and fled. Not even the broadswords of the Warlords could stop them. Generally, in this case, the enemy cavalry can win with a single charge.

It's a pity that qualified war horses are too rare, and the cavalry battalion can only be used as a strategic reserve, and it is impossible to put them into the battlefield at this level.

The 1st Guards Division had only horsemen, and trained the soldiers on horseback to be gunners and gunners, and rushed to the front of the formation as quickly as possible to cooperate with the phalanx soldiers to attack.

"This village is not in the key place, why is the Ming army so concerned?" Zu Zerun couldn't help but muttered to himself.

Hilgen was also helpless, and the Manchurians attacked the city in a five-piece suit: digging the city, storming, besieging, using rooms, and artillery.

The village is well guarded, and there are no siege equipment by themselves, and the city is dug and attacked, and it is a thankless practice.

If you besiege it, you must have more people than others, and the so-called art of war is: five are to attack it, and ten are to besiege it. Even if not ten times more, at least three times as many troops. Now there are at least more than 1,000 reinforcements from the Ming army, and it seems that they are still increasing, and the so-called siege is just a joke.

As for the use room, not to mention, who would put spies in an inconspicuous village?

"Didn't General Zu come out with artillery?" Hilgen asked.

Zu Zerun was speechless, the Han military flag is indeed a heavy firepower unit, and it can even be said that it was born because of artillery. But who will march with these big guys who can easily weigh thousands of pounds? Especially like today's battle, and even the capture of Anping County, it is for the army to test the reality of the void, and if it misses a blow, it will go, emphasizing the flexibility of maneuverability, probing the enemy's reality without being touched by the enemy's pulse, and of course not going out with artillery.

"It's better to withdraw from the army first and try another place." Zu Zerun said.

"If you can't even beat a small village, how can I save face for the warriors of Zhushen!" Hilgen gritted his teeth and said: "Right now, only you and I can work together to defeat this Ming army, otherwise how to explain to the masters!" ”

Zu Zerun thought about the casualties reported below that were nearly 100 people, and if he couldn't even defeat a village, it would be really difficult to explain.

I think that in the hands of Taizu Taizong, it is not impossible for Zhushen to die hundreds or thousands of people in battles, as long as he can win. In the past ten years, the battle has been too smooth, and it is almost impossible to meet the resistance of the Ming army, and gradually cultivated a delicate temperament. This time, the lives of the Manchurians seem to be more precious, and the death of more than a dozen people is full of weeping and crying.

Zu Zerun thought so in his heart, but he didn't say it. He wasn't afraid of Hilgen, but of the madness of the Manchurians who had killed their relatives.

"General Zu, we have to change our playing style." Hilgen slowed down: "You have a lot of firearms, so you fight with them on both the east and west." I personally led my troops to attack the city from the north. ”

"There's a river to the north." Zu Zerun reminded.

To the north of Pangjiazhuang is a newly dug canal, which was not originally used to block the enemy, but purely for the purpose of diverting water from farmland. However, the ditch was dug a little wider, and it did have an impact on the attack. This is also the reason why the Qing soldiers bypassed the north wall and walked from the east before.

Hilgen didn't take this to heart, and for the Manchurians, Bao Yi Aha went into battle to do this kind of trench filling work, and he did not expect them to perform meritorious service in killing the enemy. Even if the village fires cannons, it doesn't matter if some Aha dies.

"And I have to come out and build some rushing cars and ladders," said Hilgen, "and the ladders don't have to be too long, and the wall looks less than two feet." ”

Zu Zerun ignored him, and suddenly pointed at the Ming army array and said, "They opened the door." ”

Sure enough, the gate of the village had been opened, and many people could be seen coming out of it, and they soon went in again. And those reinforcements didn't move.

"What are they doing? Eating! The corners of Hilgen's eyes jumped: "I really don't take my Daqing seriously!" Beat the drums! Enter! Those who kill the enemy will be rewarded, and those who retreat without permission will be killed! ”

The village sent someone to verify the number and secret language of the support army, and soon delivered hot dishes and hot meals. Although the reinforcements ran all the way, they were so big that they were ready to eat. Hearing the loud war drums of the Eastern Prisoners, the general of the vanguard division calmly let the auxiliary soldiers and the people have dinner in the back first, and the soldiers lined up to meet the enemy.

When the people in the village saw that the reinforcements were in full formation and the dispatch was calm, their morale was immediately stronger. If it weren't for the fact that the instructor forbade them to beat the drums and cheer, and messed up the drums and trumpets in the army, the village would definitely have broken the drums by now.
