The sleigh was not only used by the Han people in Liaodong, but also by the Jurchens. But when it comes to large-scale use, no one can compare with the 'revolutionary army'. When he found that the snow carriage was not good in winter, Zhou Qingfeng quickly asked the engineering department to make a lightweight dog sled. After discovering that there were not enough dog sleds, hundreds of heavy horse-drawn sleds were built in a matter of days.

The rivers are frozen, and the hydraulic machinery is not enough, so manpower and animal power are used. In short, the output must come up to meet the needs of front-line personnel and material transportation. Horse-drawn sleds were needed to transport people and supplies from Liaoyang, and horse-drawn sleds were needed for the Guards to attack.

Two horses can pull a ton of load to slide through the snow, easily transporting half a shift of personnel and carry-on equipment. After the troops are lightly armed, they can pull an entire squad away, and the speed on the snow is still very fast. Neither the Ming army nor the Jiannu army would have thought that the 'revolutionary army' would increase its production capacity rapidly after completing the innovation of semi-manual and half-woodworking machinery.

At about ten o'clock in the night, the tall cow pinched the time to lead the team to set off. Two infantry companies and four hundred soldiers of a combat engineer company rode into the night on horse-drawn sleighs. The sky was pitch black due to snow. All the sleds were lit by a lantern, and along the way there were pre-arranged scouts to show the way, and the lights were turned off a kilometre away from the enemy's entrenched village.

This sneak attack on a snowy night was difficult, and Zhou Qingfeng personally led the team to sit in town, for fear that the team would get lost halfway. The entire procession was controlled by several front-line commanders who were in charge of the formation, and when the lights went out, everyone was silent, except for the sound of horses pulling sleds. At a distance of 500 meters from Shahepu, the team stopped to trim, determined their respective positions, and assigned targets and directions for attack.

Ye Na conducted reconnaissance, conveyed the topography of Shahepu Village in the military formation, and pointed out the location of several enemy posts. In the military formation, she said: "I will lead the men to attack and kill the enemy sentries and open the way for you. ”

The tall bull covered his head with an overcoat, blew up the fire fold, and spread out the reconnaissance sketch. He summoned his company commanders under his overcoat to confirm the combat mission for the last time. "Wait for the young marshal to personally kill the enemy's secret outpost, and the combat sappers will go up to blast the houses with enemies in the village, pay attention to the time of the explosion, and detonate them at the same time as much as possible.

After the blasting, the living Jiannu must have run out in a mess and ran towards the light. They lit a number of bonfires in the village, and you threw grenades in the direction of the campfires. Wait until the trumpet of the infantry blows, and then you will retreat. Two companies of infantry marched from east and west of the village, leaving nothing to do along the way. I will lead the battalion headquarters and platoon to support you at any time. ”

All three company commanders nodded in confirmation. As soon as the fire fold blows, they immediately return to their ranks and assign attack tasks to their respective platoon commanders. And as they prepare for battle, Yena takes a few scouts to clean up the Jiannu outposts. Her cultivation was greatly improved by Wen Ruolan, and she was the first in force in the guards, and Zhou Qingfeng was not her opponent at all if she didn't use the 'Road Tyrant'.

The big Yanma didn't need the two-handed sword she carried, she only used a few spells to gain night vision, and at a rapid speed, she approached the Jiannu secret whistle that was frozen and stiffened in the snowy night, and easily twisted their necks. In less than a quarter of an hour, a dozen outposts on the periphery of Shahepu were emptied.

At this moment in the village, Sakhalian, who was in a state of fake sleep, suddenly woke up. The spirit of the ancestors who had been sacrificed by the Jurchen shaman suddenly warned him that there was a foreign enemy attacking, and there were still many of them. He jumped up from the earthen kang in a house, grabbed the big axe in his hand, and rushed out of the door and shouted, "Get up, get up, those Han Nikans are here." Get up for me! ”

Sakhalian was like a beast awakened, restless. He really didn't expect that the snowy night he thought was safe would also be dangerous. But the enemy is killed, and he can only fight.

There are also more than a dozen bonfires lit in the village, and there are many female real sentinels on the roof. Hearing Sakhalian's rude roar, the Jurchen barbarians in the village ran out of their sheltered houses one by one. They are about three percent fully clothed and ready to fight. The rest took off their armor and clothes to rest to recover their strength, after all, it was too tiring to wear armor.

Seeing that the enemy was alerted in advance, the tall bull outside the village immediately ordered in his own military array: "The combat sappers stop blasting and throw bombs directly to disrupt the enemy's assembly." ”

Out of the darkness outside the village, more than two dozen tall and strong combat sappers came out, all of whom used the powerful Vajra charm to increase their strength. Baskets of home-made grenades were brought in, the back cover was unscrewed, and the fire breaker was blown to light the fuse. The special grenadiers grabbed these earthen grenades and threw them with all their might, easily throwing them fifty or sixty meters.

In the dark, the campfire lit in the village is the best indication of coordinates. And the Jiannu who ran out really kept gathering in front of the bonfire. Sakhalian did not know the number of enemies and the direction of attack, he was arranging personnel to defend, and grenades fell from the sky.

The first grenades were filled with excess sulfur in addition to black powder, and they exploded soon after they landed, emitting a pungent smoke and igniting more fires, which were not easy to extinguish. In addition to black powder, the subsequent grenades were filled with specially polished stones. These hard stones are blown up and fly wildly, which can blow people up like chickens and dogs.

"Extinguish the fire, extinguish the fire, put out the fire." Sakhalian calmed down, "Go back into the house, put on your armor and come out." ”

The power of the black powder grenade was still weaker, and not many people were killed or injured by the explosion, which caused a lot of confusion. The horses of Sakhalian's cavalry neighed at the sound of the explosion, trying to break free from their untied reins and flee.

The grenadiers' grenade throws made Sakharen realize that the opponent he had encountered was anything but unusual, and definitely not the Ming army's wretchedness. He immediately thought of Zhou Qingfeng, who was rumored to occupy the peninsula in southeast Liaoning and rebelled, "This snowy day is cold to death, why don't that kid stay in southern Liaoning honestly, what is he doing in Shenyang?" ”

Sakhalian cursed a few words, but decided to break out. Because he has tasted Zhou Qingfeng's power. If that kid really came, it would never be possible for him to stay in the village in peace and wait for help, "The cavalry mounted and rushed out." When there are many people there, they rush there. The infantry put on their armor and followed the whole team, this village could not stay, and if they stayed, they would only be blown up. ”

When he was going to be ruthless, Jiannu, who had just come out of the wilderness, still retained a lot of wildness. Ignoring the grenades falling from their heads, they searched for their restless mounts, and when they loosened their reins, they mounted their horses and rushed outward, risking their lives to search for an attacking enemy in the darkness.

On the dirt road outside the village, two companies of spear infantry had just taken their positions. The company platoon officer who led the team kept giving orders, one by one the spears were laid flat, the front row was at the waist, and the back row was on the shoulders of the front row. After the dense spear formation was formed, the front row quickly lit up with the light of the military formation.

"Blow the trumpet and move forward."

The officer shouted the command. The soldier strode forward with a sonorous and powerful voice of one-two-one. When they walked a few dozen meters ahead, they came across the Jurchen cavalry that appeared sporadically in the village.

"Steady, Thrust!"

The panicked Jurchen cavalry crashed in front of the spear array, and when they were about to turn their horses around, the spearmen who had killed in the night rushed forward a few steps and stabbed the spearhead. The riders on the horses could only swing their swords and slash, and the spears had pierced through their armor and stabbed out bloody holes one after another.

The dying screams warned the Jurchen cavalry that rushed up behind, and some turned around to report back to Sakhalian, while others probed in other directions, trying to figure out the enemy's numbers and weak points—but a company of spear infantry had one hundred and twenty men, enough to spread out a wide front and block the enemy's escape from the entrance of the village.

In the darkness, the Jurchen cavalry felt that the village was surrounded by incoming enemies. These enemies all rushed at them with spears, heavy armor, and iron helmets, and they rushed bravely and strongly. The bad situation continued to spread back to Sakhalian in the village, but the Jurchen general, Nurhachi's son-in-law, and the warrior who roamed the battlefield, were unmoved.

"Infantry army, infantry army, quickly line up, and the white-armored soldiers go to the front. Those who know how to do magic come to the front, and I will personally lead you to rush outward. "Sakharen is forming a team of more than 300 infantry troops. The Jianzhou Department was rampant in the north, relying on the infantry troops who held heavy troops, wore thick armor, and were good at shooting the enemy at close range with longbows.

Sakhalian himself stood at the front with a battle axe, and the line of infantry behind him quickly increased. Several leaders of Niu Lu followed closely behind with their white-armored elite soldiers, screaming and screaming to kill.

When he saw that the cavalry breakthrough was not gaining momentum, Sakhalian knew that he could not wait any longer. He saw that there were already more than a hundred infantry troops gathered behind him, and he immediately stepped towards the outside of the village, intending to defeat the opponent by relying on his best infantry formation.

The grenadiers had now dropped their grenades, and they grabbed their axes to guard the flanks of the pikemen. And before they rushed forward, many barbarians with hard bows rushed out of the Jurchen infantry formation. Not afraid of death, they walked within ten paces of the Guards Spearmen and fired with heavy arrows.

Ten steps is only six or seven meters away, and it takes great courage to provoke the approaching spears at this distance. Ke Jianzhou Department used this trick to shoot down many hostile tribes, and also used this trick to break through the seemingly thick defensive formation of the Ming army. The Jurchen barbarians who could stand up were all strong, they shouted loudly to strengthen their momentum, and when they approached, they quickly drew their bows and shot an arrow.

The heavy arrows at close range are extremely powerful, basically able to shoot through one person, and with spiritual power, they can even shoot through several people in one go. As long as the soldiers on the battlefield are a little timid, they will immediately be crushed by the cruel blow of life and death in this instant.

Zhou Qingfeng attaches great importance to the trick of the Jurchens, and the infantry of the Guards has done repeated exercises. After all, it is clearly written in the history books - 'The slave soldiers are extremely fine, longer than the bow and horse, and shoot the head of the human face within ten steps'.

"Keep your head down." Not only was the cyan light of defense shining in the spear formation, but also the officers shouting orders.

All spearmen bowed their heads and covered their faces with their helmets. This was followed by a rain of clinking arrows, buzzing like a buzz, one after another.

After shooting the arrow, the Jurchen barbarians waited to see the enemy soldiers on the opposite side fall to the ground with arrows, generally speaking, there were at least six or seven arrows in a round, and there was absolutely no miss at close range. Not only do you have to shoot, you have to shoot to death. The Jurchens had this absolute confidence in the strength of their hard bows, and they could draw their bows and shoot bulls.

It's just that today's wave of arrow rain failed to have the expected effect. The Spirit-infused Rage Arrow was first blocked by the cyan light of the key defense, and then by the metal breastplate that resisted and bounced off. At most, some powerful Jurchen archers used their powerful muscles and bones to shoot through the breastplate, but the arrows were stuck in the breastplate and pierced some flesh, which made the spearmen cry out more courageously.

The spearmen were still worried that Jiannu's bows and arrows would shoot at their faces, necks and other vital points, and they all kept their heads low. But in fact, few people were shot in the door, and a rain of arrows all hit them in the chest.

Not dead, not dead, all carried it!

The heavy arrows at close range failed to control the spear formation, and then it was the turn of the Jurchen barbarians who risked their lives to rush to the spearhead. Immediately after the guards withstood the enemy's attack, an officer shouted: "Brothers, tie the Jiannu into strings!" ”
