However, this small ferry corresponds to the famous Daniu ferry on the left bank of the Liao River.

The terrain of the ferry is flat and open, which is not only not conducive to ambush, but also conducive to the cavalry landing after landing, quickly set up a formation and charge.

After receiving accurate information, Chongzhen exerted or squeezed the physical strength of a group of temporarily transferred Tuntian military households to the extreme.

Almost overnight, three deep trenches were dug in the soft and fertile land of the Daniu Ferry, forming three temporary lines of defense.

After completing the mission, they were quickly evacuated at dawn.

At the same time, the 800 cavalry of the Chongzhen Division were divided into three teams and stationed in this defensive position with fire guns.

Wu Sangui was quite dissatisfied with this, believing that this was tantamount to digging his own grave, because these three trenches may be deep and wide for the infantry, but for the cavalry, only a small leap of the war horse is needed to leap.

Moreover, the Guanning Iron Cavalry is the most elite cavalry in the Guanning Army, since the day Yuan Shuai named it, it should be named the ultimate goal with the horse, how can you abandon the war horse, but choose the most cowardly way of fighting?

Although the tactical tactics of digging trenches to resist cavalry were tantamount to setting a historical precedent for Wu Sangui, who was accustomed to seeing horses rejecting horses, deer firewood, chariot formations, and tripping horses.

Still, he was almost paranoid and insisted on his opinion.

If it weren't for Chongzhen, he had no intention of putting him and his men into the trenches.

Instead, he was ordered to lie in ambush on the side, his horse's hooves wrapped in a man's mouth, ready to launch a surprise attack at any time to complete the final blow against the two Niu Lu's Houjin cavalry, and he would be angry at any moment and go away alone.

But even so, Wu Sangui, who spent almost all the time on horseback except for sleeping and Lazar, still disdainfully spat the three trenches into stinky ditches.

Wu Sangui stubbornly turned his horse's head and led his team to find the best hiding place and a place to raid.

The eight hundred iron horsemen under the command of Chongzhen were naturally extremely unconvinced by this, so even Zu Kuan and Yuan Qi wanted to catch up and stop the young master of Jiangmen who was above the top, and reason about it well, even at the expense of a duel.

However, Chongzhen smiled confidently: "Whether it's a chasm or a stinky ditch, you'll know if you try it." ”

After saying that, he turned around and went to make the trap himself.

This so-called trap is a kind of trap that is buried shallowly in the earth, but a lead is tied to the stubborn grass, and it is said that the hooves of a man or a war horse only need to touch it slightly.

Even the strong wind generated by the war horse jumping over it can be triggered, resulting in a loud "boom", although it is only made of clay pots, it is enough to blow the hooves of a person or a war horse into two pieces.

If you are unlucky, even the third foot that you rely on to inherit the lineage will be affected.

Although its power is not as shocking as that of a gunpowder packet when it is ignited, and it does not even directly take the life of the enemy in many cases, it is more insidious, more unguardable, and more heart-wrenching.

It is said that since Yu Ningyuan City and Juehua Island, Houjin has suffered a great loss in front of the Ming Dynasty's firearms, especially after Wu Nage was almost wiped out on the gunpowder bag.

All the Jurchen nobles, including Huang Taiji, were deeply afraid of the Daming firearms that they had disdained before, and their precautions were extremely strict.

Therefore, I chose the turn of spring and summer, when the rain was abundant and not very suitable for war, in a vain attempt to use the humidity of the rainy season in eastern Liaoning to achieve the purpose of making the Daming firearms dumb.

However, Da Ming is well aware of the disadvantage that firearms are useless once they are damp, and he has also worked this.

In particular, the Guanning Army has its own local methods of prevention.

And this kind of so-called clay pot mine made out of the temporary intention of re-truth, it seems that it is even more afraid of moisture, and even buried on the soft and moist bank of the Liao River can still ensure its function - explosion.

It's just that it's a little more troublesome to operate, and Chongzhen doesn't dare to hand over such a delicate job to the Guanning Iron Riders who come and go like the wind and are resolute.

Even if the eight hundred under his command are under his influence, they have become more and more like a real iron army, a real iron horseman.

Because it was an impromptu idea, it was made in a hurry, and these clay pot mines looked very rustic, looking very unreliable, and the number was not much, and they were all buried quickly.

Chongzhen made some marks on the place where the mines were planted, and pointed them out to his subordinates, strictly ordering them not to touch them.

Looking at his subordinates, who had obviously been bluffed, he nodded frequently with a convincing face, and patted the grass-smelling dirt on his hands, and suddenly felt that it was really a little unpleasant to wait for him.

He boldly took a few subordinates and walked to the Liao River to wash his hands.

Wu Sangui was hiding 600 cavalry under a high slope in the distance, while he himself took Wu Laosan and several other family members to stand on the high slope to observe the so-called trench where Chongzhen was located.

Seeing this, he immediately smashed the air with his fist and scolded in a low voice: "This stupid thing! Look for him! ”

The two Houjin cavalry of Niu Lu have begun to cross the Liao River at this moment.

The tools used by these primitive beast-like humans are naturally not comparable to the naval warships of Denglai Juehua, and they are not even military transport ships.

At best, they are civilian carrier boats, fishing boats, and even makeshift rafts.

After all, the wild people who came out of the old forest, at the very beginning, were powerful beings who dared to go to sea on a raft and go to Korea and even the Japanese country to rob women.

When the first few groups of Jurchens riding on the raft immediately saw the Chongzhen people, and immediately saw the Ming military uniforms on their bodies, the long firearms hanging on their shoulders or in their hands.

Then they cried out, and some of them bent their bows and arrows, and tried to shoot arrows at the shore.

However, the Liao River is wide, and the center of the river is still a little far from the left bank, even the most powerful Jurchen Baturu arm, no matter how powerful the arrows are, even if they are a few sporadic wolf tooth arrows, they are all shortened and long.

There was no vigilance, no urging, no need for even an order.

The young soldiers behind Chongzhen had already spontaneously and steadily picked up the fire guns, and they were about to start to break away from the fire guns.

Crooking his neck and squinting his eyes, he quietly aimed the black and faint fire gun at the Jurchens who were jumping on the raft in the river.

"What are you talking about? The real locusts are here! Huang Xiaoer muttered in a low voice, and then he knew that he was speechless, and he stuck out his tongue obediently.

"Judging from its standard armor, it should be the one with the red flag."

Chongzhen didn't care, and after washing his hands unhurriedly, he wiped his shirt heroically like most men.

Then he removed the long firebolt that hung on his shoulder, which was half a man's height, lit the arquebus, and opened fire.

"Bang!" A loud bang drowned out the rushing roar of the Liao River.

A lump of iron sand bombs whizzed out of the long barrel and quickly dispersed in mid-air. By the time it hit its target, it had already had the effect of a shotgun, hitting the front door of the war horse that stood first on the first raft.

The mighty horse could not even make a last neigh, and fell to the ground, falling so hard that the raft sank into the water.

Seeing this, Wu Sangui, who was on the high slope in the distance, suddenly changed his hatred of iron and steel, and roared in a low voice: "Well done!" ”

But Chongzhen was extremely dissatisfied in his heart, and muttered: "The group of things in the military factory that were blinded by the dog's day, Lao Tzu didn't check it for a few days, and he deviated from the direction of firearms research and development!"

There was actually a double-barreled firecracker! But fortunately, it is separated from the erroneous theory of the most advanced firearms technology in the Ming Dynasty - the three-eyed bird gun! It's a kind of progress! ”

It is named because it can accurately shoot birds in the sky. But as far as Shigezhen knows, this not only has a great element of luck, but also still does not avoid the biggest drawback of the "gun", that is, the fire rope, and the reload.

The accuracy of this double-barreled firearm with one less gun tube has been greatly improved, and the shooting distance can reach about 150 meters. At this distance, even the best white-armored archers in Houjin can rarely be surpassed.

The most important thing is that while striving for accuracy and increasing range, there are still two gun tubes, which to a certain extent make up for the shortcomings of reloading, and each of the two gun tubes is equipped with a lump of iron sand bullets.

That is to say, when it is fully loaded with ammunition, it can fire two consecutive and accurate long-range shots, and its overall performance is superior to that of the Three-Eyed Bird.

This is undoubtedly a great progress in the history of the development of firearms and firearms in the Ming Dynasty, but this stinky guy is used to seeing high-tech weapons in the 22nd century, and his vision is too high.

The Jurchen cavalry, who hid behind the war horse and thought it was foolproof, obviously did not expect that the power of this firearm would be so huge and the range would be so long, and they would become the first to see and the victim.

He thought to himself that his arms were strong and powerful, and he tried to hold on to his beloved warhorse, but he still couldn't prevent it from falling down.

Had it not been for the fact that its four hooves were firmly tied to the raft, it would have almost squeezed its owner into the water, and was swallowed up by the roaring Liao River.

A wave of wind and waves hit and the raft shook violently.

The Jurchen cavalryman, who was riding his war horse across the land, suddenly seemed to be in a hurry, and it took a lot of effort to stabilize his body with the help of the cavalry behind him.

The old man of the Han family, who was enslaved and supported the raft, has seen greater storms in the center of this river.

His feet were still firmly wedged on the raft like nails, and his hands were holding on to the long bamboo poles, only to see the seemingly thin and brittle raft swaying with the rapid ups and downs of the river waves, and then quickly stabilized again.

It's a pity that such a skillful skill and the courage to hit the water in the middle of the stream did not usher in applause for him, but ushered in a whip.

The Jurchen cavalry with red flags, who had lost their horses, became extremely violent, urging him to hurry up and prop up the raft with a hideous roar, so that he could quickly land on the shore and tear the few Ming scouts with cold guns to pieces.

The thin old man hurriedly subconsciously put down the bamboo pole and shook the wooden oar wildly, so that the raft that crossed the Liao River diagonally along the river increased in speed again, and it can be said that it was desperately close to the left bank of the Liao River.
