"The two battalions of Lushun Gangfeng and Xuanfeng will attack Jinzhou Fort tonight, and they are expected to arrive at the city tomorrow morning, raising fire and sounding gongs to intimidate the defenders. Therefore......"

The camp tent was brightly lit, and the officers under Huang Shi gathered together, Wu Mu and the two brocade guards Zhang Gaosheng and Chen Ruike were also dressed in military uniforms.

"Ben will lead the fire battalion to intercept the only way for Jiannu to flee north, so as to annihilate the fleeing enemy. ”

The location has been chosen, and the plan to set up the barricades has also been approved.

After Huang Shi finished speaking, he asked politely, "Gonggong Wu, do you have anything to advise?"

"Our family has something to ask General Huang for advice," Wu Mu felt that it was safer to go with the Lushun army to attack Jinzhou: "What if General Zhang didn't scare away the defenders of Jinzhou Fort? What if Jiannu didn't take this road?" General Huang, do we have a more secure way?"

Huang Shi pondered for a moment: "Gonggong Wu, the last general feels that this battle also has something in common with the bodyguards. For example, on that dart road, between the dart head and the guest, I think the dart head is more experienced, right?"

Wu Mu thought about it, and he was also happy: "Okay, our family will listen to General Huang today." ”

"The soldiers are in danger, the body of Gonggong Wu's daughter, is it better to wait for good news on this Eternal Life Island?"

"General Huang's words are wrong," Wu Mu thought that it would be safe to win, and if he defeated himself, hiding in the rear would probably make the palace unhappy, and Huang Shi was a famous general, and he didn't look like he would lose a battle: "As a supervising army, of course our family has to advance and retreat with the whole army." ”

Seeing that Huangshi had to persuade again, Wu Mu said: "The general doesn't want our family to accompany him, but what's the disadvantage?"

"In this case, please ask Gonggong Wu to accompany the army, but you must watch the battle behind the army, in case there is any mistake, the last general will not be able to afford it. ”

The firefighting battalion smuggled ashore at night, and in the early morning 500 soldiers and 300 auxiliary soldiers went out together, and after arriving at the predetermined location, Huangshi continuously sent scouts and horses to reconnoitre, and the soldiers began to rest on the spot, and the auxiliary soldiers began to work one after another to set up roadblocks and trenches.

"Your Excellency, there is a fireworks signal from the direction of Jinzhou, General Zhang has taken Jinzhou, as your lord expected, it seems that there is no resistance, and Jiannu abandoned the city and fled. ”

The sky gradually brightened, and the surrounding exploration horses finally came to report: "My lord, Jiannu is fleeing along this road and coming straight to our army." ”

Finally, there was no need to march in a hurry to intercept it elsewhere, Huang Shi also sighed, turned around and smiled at Li Yunrui: "Mr. Li Qian has made a great contribution this time. ”

"Your Excellency praised it. Having said that, Li Yunrui couldn't help but smile.

Zhao Slowxiong was very satisfied with the location Huangshi, which was a steep rock wall that was difficult to climb on one side and a rushing river on the other.

Standing in front of the Ming army was a simple fence made of stones and wood, and there was a half-deep trench behind the fence.

Zhao Slowxiong, who deployed the defense, also frantically dug a large number of semi-circular pits, the gentle slope was towards the enemy's approach, and the straight and steep side was in the direction of the Ming army, which would not affect the horse team to the south, but it was more difficult to sprint north.

It was also impossible to move away from these fortifications, they were only thirty meters away from the Ming line, and the archers could cover these barricades well. And these obstacles will not be exposed to the bow and arrow for a long time, even after passing the guò such a short distance, the horses will not have time to add.

"The first actual battle of the Forces nouvelles was perfect to be able to force the enemy to engage in a location of my choosing, using the tactics of my choosing. ”

The last time the horse probe reported: "Jiannu is still ten miles away from our army, and we are about to see them, they are running out of horsepower and are walking slowly." ”

"You weren't revealed, were you?"

"Don't worry, my lord, we are all very careful. ”

"Good. Huang Shi immediately asked He Baodao's horse team to stay away and go to the side to cultivate his body.

"Queue—"

The soldiers of the fire battalion, who had been recuperating for a long time, also got up one after another.

"Count—"

"One"

"Two"

"Three"

......

When the two sides finally looked at each other, the Houjin army stopped and sent reconnaissance cavalry, and now that the Ming army only had 400 infantry, they continued to advance, and stopped a stone's throw away from the Ming army.

"They can't wait long, because they don't know how many people are in the Lushun army behind them, and they don't know when they will catch up. Huang Shi explained to Wu Mu on the side: "They bully us even more, so they want to run away." ”

"We don't have many people?" Wu Mu was taken aback, Huang Shi had told him that he only had one or two hundred enemy troops.

"Well, yes. Huang Shi had already prepared a statement: "The earlier investigation was wrong, and there were about six hundred and fifty Jiannu on the other side. ”

"Isn't our army very dangerous?" Wu Mu said dumbfounded: "General Huang hasn't hurried back the horse team of the He garrison, so that he can fight to the death." ”

"The horse team guarded by He is for pursuit, and the horsepower cannot be wasted. ”

After speaking, the Jin army had all appeared in the field of vision, and the Ming army blocked the way and put up a three-column battle formation with a width of 100 people.

There were also a hundred soldiers standing in the front row with iron bows, and the hundred birdguns that had been rolled up from Arthur had been tested by Duncan and only seven were passed, so now only the archers could provide long-range firepower.

Both sides looked at each other silently, and there was silence on the battlefield.

Wu Mu couldn't bear the tense atmosphere before the battle, and couldn't help but pull Huang Shi in front of him: "General Huang, what are Jiannu waiting for?"

"They're going to have to stock up a little bit. ”

After a quarter of an hour, Wu Mu still didn't move, and asked nervously again, "Do you want to wait forever?"

"We can't afford to wait, but Jiannu can't afford to wait. ”

Two quarters of an hour later, the Houjin army dismounted, each holding his shield in front of his head, and slowly marched in a looser procession.

"Zhang Gong—" Several officers of the bow team shouted the order in a long tone.

Huang Shi's raised hand was gently lowered, and the guards on his side immediately beat a drum.

The officer of the bow team heard the voice and ordered: "Release." ”

The bows and arrows like a rainstorm did not bring down a few people, and the advance of the Houjin army stagnated slightly, and then continued to approach forward.

"Zhang Gong—"

The arm is waved, the drum sounds, the order is given, and the shooter loosens the strings.

The Ming army fired five times slowly, and the Houjin army had already approached about fifty meters.

"Why is our army so slow in archery?" Wu Mu is really a problem father-in-law.

Huang Shi stared at the battlefield with his arms hanging in the air, and explained without looking back: "A shooter will be exhausted if he puts a maximum of fifteen arrows, and Jiannu wants to attract our firepower from a distance, so they will slowly move our army to shoot five arrows slowly." Against the infantry, the last five arrows should be fired within twenty-five paces. ”

"That's only ten arrows in total!" Wu Mu's arithmetic seemed to be good, but Huang Shi thought it would be perfect if he asked the question again after the battle.

"Gonggong Wu sees it clearly. Huang Shi, who was preoccupied with controlling the army, really didn't have the time to deal with him, his eyes looked at the approaching Houjin soldiers for a moment, and suddenly waved his arm three times, and the drum sounded three times in a hurry.

"Odd flat shots, even back shots. The officers of the bow corps did not hesitate to give the order when they heard the sound of the drums.

The Ming archers quickly wound up, half of the archers lowered their bows and hit the lower half of Shen, and the other half sent arrows high into the sky. They fired five times in a row at a rapid pace, and although the Houjin soldiers in the front row blocked and dodged, some of them were still hit by arrows.

However, for the regular army wearing armor and shields, most of the bows and arrows did not pose fatal injuries, and after dozens of wounded people did not enter the battle, the lightly injured still followed the sharp soldiers on the front line, waiting to participate in the battle.

After Kim crossed the barricade, Yellowstone's drummer gave a short call to Kim.

The next thing is the work of the front-line officer, Huang Shi, who was a little nervous, held the reins with both hands, and explained to Wu Mu after a long breath: "It's very tiring to shoot arrows so quickly, and we have to guard against the enemy standing still and shooting back, although Jiannu can't afford to delay time and most of them are very powerful riding bows, but we can't be unguarded." ”

Jin Sheng summoned the last order from the archers: "Bow back." ”
