Chapter 112: God of War

A similar small battle took place in the woods near the big camp, the gunfire was sparse, but a small-scale battle occurred in the woods in the southeast, the three groups of scouts of the wolf battalion ambushed one group of Jin army scouts, and the gunfire attracted two other groups of Jin army scouts, and also attracted two groups of scouts and two groups of snipers of the wolf battalion, the wolf camp scouts were outnumbered, and occupied favorable terrain, with the advantages of musket grenades and snipers, and the three groups of Jin army scouts were wiped out.

When the sky was completely bright, Huang Taiji waited for the news from the scouts that Cao Bianjiao's wolf camp had set up a large camp on the main official road leading to Zunhua Town, and if he wanted to attack Zunhua Town or attack Longjing Pass from behind, he had to kill Cao Bianjiao's camp first.

Huang Taiji frowned, if Cao Bianjiao led his troops to defend the camp, he would have to attack, and the loss would definitely be not small, but if he didn't attack, there would be no chance at all, so he had to try.

"Your Majesty, Weichen knows that there is a path that can go around the side of Longjing Pass and Zunhua Town."

Zhang Wanchun, who has surrendered and is determined to hug Huang Taiji's thick thighs, wants to be reused, and has to make meritorious contributions, he sells Daming cleanly for his own future.

"Okay, if you break Longjing Pass or Zunhua Town, Zhang Aiqing should take the first credit." Huang Taiji said happily, such an important meeting, Zhang Wanchun originally did not even have the qualifications to get close to the imperial tent, but in order to win the hearts of the people, he still let Zhang Wanchun participate in the meeting.

"It's a matter for the ministers." Zhang Wanchun's mouth was polite, but he was overjoyed in his heart, he had just surrendered and made a great contribution, and it was a little difficult to think about it.

Huang Taiji quickly made a decision, the main force besieged the wolf camp camp, pinned down the Ming army, covered the partial division to take the path, attacked the wolf camp from behind, and slaughtered Cao Bianjiao first.

Zhang Wanchun knew how to go on the trail, naturally he acted as a guide to lead the way, the partial division is the key to victory, he wanted to appoint Fan Wencheng, who had always been cautious, as the coach, but this guy fell and injured his leg, not good at walking, he thought about it, hand-picked Belle Yueto as the head coach, Du Du as his deputy, carefully selected two thousand fierce generals and warriors inlaid with red and white flags, and 2,000 cannon fodder soldiers from various small tribes to form a partial division to attack the city.

Yue Tuo is the eldest son of Dai Shan, inlaid with red flags, brave and good at fighting, repeatedly made military exploits, stood up at the most critical moment when Huang Taiji and the other three big Baylors competed for the Khan position, and called on a group of Baylors to resist Huang Taiji, so he won the favor of Huang Taiji, and it was normal to send him to take charge of the partial division.

Du Du is the first son of Guangluo Belle Chu Ying, Zheng Baiqi, often follows the Great Belle Amin and Yue Tuo to fight in the south and the north, and it is also suitable to send him to serve as Yue Tuo's deputy, and in terms of employing people, Huang Taiji is still very skilled.

Yue Tuo and Du Du set off immediately after selecting the elite soldiers, Zhang Wanchun led the troops of Hongshan Pass to lead the way in front, the trail is mostly rugged sheep intestine trail, some places need to be roped down or grab the ancient vine to climb, the war horse can not pass, Yue Tuo's infantry is all the same, carrying a large number of bows and arrows and some muskets.

Huang Taiji is far-sighted, every time he commits a crime of burning, killing and looting, in addition to robbing food and silver, the most important thing is to rob the scholars and iron doctors, in fact, they are women and young and strong slaves, those blacksmiths and craftsmen can help him build sophisticated weapons and equipment, with the secret support of Jin merchants, he obtained a large amount of iron ore, and created more sophisticated weapons and equipment than the Ming army's border army.

Subsequently, Huang Taiji personally led the army out of the city and killed Cao Bianjiao's camp, since Zhang Wanchun knew that there was a path, I believe that the local Ming army or the people also knew this path, maybe he had sent troops to defend it, in order to cover Yue Tuo's partial division, he did not feint to preserve the strength of Cao Bianjiao's camp, but really launched a frontal attack.

This time, the Jin army carried artillery, but because it was too heavy and extremely inconvenient to transport, the number carried was not much, only ten large-caliber general cannons, and six Franc machine guns handed over to Hongshankou.

The ten generals' cannons were spread out one by one, and they bombarded the wolf camp and the ping-pong pong, and the cannon rumbled and the momentum was extremely terrifying.

Cao Bianjiao's camp on the official road was slightly different from the traditional military camp in that several layers of sandbags filled with mud and sand were piled up behind the fence to act as a fortification, and soldiers could shoot from behind the sandbags.

It is normal to build a lookout tower in the barracks, but Cao Bianjiao took into account the special role of snipers, and was worried that he would collapse by the Jin army's artillery, and the golden sniper on the tower would have fallen to death and be injured.

In the eyes of Li Xin, Cao Bianjiao and others, it is a brand-new fortification invented by the Son of Heaven.

The ten general cannons of the Jin army roared happily, but all the bullets fired were solid iron bullets, although a small number of flowering shells were also captured, but the shells were too small, only suitable for the Franco cannon, and the six Franc cannons either fired happy bullets or fired solid small iron bullets, which also roared happily.

Solid iron bullets roared into the barracks, smashing a small crater in the ground, and then bouncing and rolling under the action of inertia, smashing some military tents, but not hitting a single soldier in the wolf camp.

Solid iron bullets are used to bombard buildings, the effect is obvious, and the bombardment of dense targets also has a certain effect, but the bombardment of scattered targets, the hit is very low, and only the unlucky ones who are particularly lucky are shot, basically only have the effect of strengthening the momentum, improving morale, and deterring the enemy.

When the Jin army approached and set up artillery, the soldiers of the wolf battalion had already taken refuge in the fortifications made of thick sandbags, which could block the bombardment of solid iron bullets, and it was normal to have zero casualties.

There were also solid iron bullets that blew the barracks to shreds and shot broken wood everywhere, but the solid iron bullets failed to break through the thick sandbag wall and stuck directly in it, at most the sandbag wall collapsed, and it was OK to restack it.

The only damage to the soldiers of the wolf battalion was those small number of flowering shells, a large number of flowering shells fell into the clearing, blowing up a ball of fire, a small number of flowering shells ignited the tent, causing the flames to soar into the sky, thick smoke billowed out, only two flying flowering shells fell in the corner of the barracks, where there happened to be a few logistics auxiliaries shoveling mud and sand to fill sandbags, and suddenly screamed and fell, three dead and two wounded, and the names of three people appeared on the first batch of the wolf battalion's death list.

Cao Bianjiao, who was standing behind the sandbag wall bunker, turned his head to look at the several watchtowers behind him, and saw that he was not hit by the shells, so he breathed a sigh of relief, although there were only a few soldiers on the watchtowers, but all of them were snipers, and there were only more than fifty in the entire Ming Dynasty.

"Where's our cannon?"

"General, I'm measuring and correcting." A young officer named Huang Xiaobo next to him hurriedly straightened his chest and replied loudly.

His official rank is only a colonel, but he is an artillery commander, and he has outstanding results in the training assessment, and he was appointed by Zhu Jian, and he jumped from an ordinary soldier to an officer, which made the soldiers envious.

When he was training, he had already remembered what the Son of Heaven had said, artillery was the god of war, and after carefully studying the "Artillery Manual" written by the Son of Heaven, he knew a lot of advanced things, what triangulation, calibration, artillery suppression, coverage, and so on.

The Jin army on the opposite side obviously didn't know about these things, and set up the cannon and bombarded it randomly, almost without any accuracy, so that his subordinates could calmly measure and correct the landing point of the shells.
