Chapter Seventy-Three

At dawn, seven large ships landed firmly on the Fisherman's Wharf in Golden State, where fishermen usually land. The draft is very deep, and there are ready-made docks.

"Get off the boat, get off the boat! Lay out the line of defense, lay out the line of defense! As soon as the ship docked, Ao Canghai roared loudly.

The musketeers and a hundred of his brothers led by Man Gui rushed down from the ship. The busy docks were in chaos, and the musketeers quickly formed a line of defense in three rows, ignoring this.

Then it was time to set up a springboard, and ten torsion spring trebuchets were hauled down. Once the huge wheels are attached, the trebuchet can move with the gunner's push.

The Tartar camp was not far from the wharf, about two or three miles away.

When all the people on Li Xiao's side got off the boat, the sun came out over there. The fiery red sun gilded the sparkling sea with a layer of golden light. Li Xiao has completely occupied the docks, and a few splashes who help the Tartars manage the docks have been cut off by Man Gui. Now the human head is hanging on the flagpole of the pier, waiting to dry!

"Blow the trumpet!" As soon as Li Xiao gave the order, someone blew the horn.

Today is to have a hard fight with the Tartar soldiers in broad daylight.

The one responsible for guarding this place is the banner of the Han Army. They were originally Jurchens, but in their long-term lives, their living habits have been sinicized. In the past, they were called. After Nurhachi captured Fushun, there were many such mature women who really attached themselves to Houjin. Nurhachi organized them into a special banner and was responsible for the local garrison.

Tong Yangzhen, who was beheaded by the Mangui Array, is under the banner of the Han Army.

The banner guard of the Han army defending here was called Wei Daman, and there were originally 600 people in his stockade. But today two hundred cavalry came from Anshan Station, the purpose of which was to escort the thousand taels of gold and gold produced by this batch of gold minerals to Shenyang.

"Lord Ezhen, those people on the other side seem to be Ming Jun. It looks like there are three or four hundred of them, so let's rush out and kill them. As soon as the Great Khan is happy, maybe he will reward us. ”

"Hmmm! We now have a total of 800 people, which is twice as many as each other. What do you say, Lord Hezhe? Wei Daman turned his face and asked Hezhe beside him.

He is a solid mountain, but he doesn't dare to offend this Niu Lu in front of him. He is just the banner of the Han army, but he is under the red flag of eight hundred. Other people's cattle are really worth more than his amount.

"Humph! At this point, the Ming army wants to go wild, Lord Wei, just stay here. I go out with my men, and a single charge can crush them. The muskets of the Han people are not powerful, so there is no need to be afraid. Hezhe said very confidently.

"Uh......! Wei still helped Lord Hezhe sweep the formation, and you and I attacked together. Wei Daman scolded He Zhe in his heart, this is a blatant robbery of credit. You've killed this group of Ming troops, and the credit is still there. On Lao Tzu's territory, can you still grab the credit?

"In this way, it depends on Lord Wei." He Zhe answered, and went out to gather his subordinates.

Lao Tzu's command is all cavalry, but your Han army has many infantry. I don't believe it, you can run on two legs than Lao Tzu's four legs. By the time you come here, I'm afraid I'll have already killed all these hundreds of people. Don't think that this is your land, and Lao Tzu won't dare to rob you of your credit? Although the red flag is not as good as the yellow and yellow flags, are you still afraid of your Han military flag?

The gates of the walled city burst open on both sides, and two hundred cavalry of the Red Banner galloped out. Just reorganized the formation a little at the gate, and without waiting for Wei Daman's Han army banner infantry to completely leave the city, he rushed over with the cavalry.

Although Hezhe wants to take credit, he is not stupid. As a bull under the red flag, he is also a battle-hardened person. The cavalry began at a trot, slowly approaching the enemy. When you are about two miles away from the enemy, you begin to slowly let go of your horse's speed. He had to charge with the best horsepower, and the ranks of the Ming army were like that! As long as you rush, it will collapse, and the following is the hunt time. If you don't have enough horsepower, that's not how can it be done.

"Fuck the bastard, fuck me quickly. You don't have to be in the whole team, give Lao Tzu a rush! Rush! Rush! Rush! After a while, the meat was eaten by Zhenghongqi, and we couldn't even drink the soup! Wei Daman saw that He Zhe didn't wait for him, so he took the lead in the charge, and his head smoked in anger.

Urging his subordinates to charge chaotically, according to his experience. The Ming army will be crushed as long as it is a moment, and if it is really late, it will not even be able to get a head. A piece of fat is right in front of him, how willing is he to let others eat it.

Lao Tzu also wants to be promoted to become rich!

"Steady! Steady! You can only shoot when you hear the order, and whoever shoots first will kill whose head. The rooster crow during Li Xiao's voice change sounded in front of the Ming army.

The first battle of a recruit on the battlefield is the most prone to nervousness. In a tense situation, as long as one person shoots, the next person will shoot. In these years, the arquebus is basically non-existent. Although it can theoretically hit more than 100 meters, it is extremely difficult to accurately hit the enemy at this distance.

Ao Canghai clutched the knife tightly in his hand, and he also knew that this time was very dangerous. God knows if these soldiers can withstand it!

Man Gui licked his lips excitedly, and the horse chopping knife in his hand was stuck on the ground. Now he wanted a horse very much, and as long as there was a horse, the Mongols were not afraid of anyone.

Li Xiao swallowed his saliva and licked his lips. His eyes were fixed on the local cavalry, and he reached out in front of his right arm to grasp his fist, and his thumb was raised high. This is a simple triangulation method, which is required to be learned by any artilleryman.

It's close! It's closer!

The sound of the galloping horse's hooves was like thunder, and the roaring sound swept over like rolling thunder. Two hundred red banner cavalry galloped with smoke and dust that soared into the sky, and the heavy hooves of the horses smashed the earth and trembled.

"Trebuchet! Group 1! Put! ”

"Trebuchet! Group 1! Put! ”

Li Xiao roared, and Ao Canghai repeated beside him. The loud voice actually drowned out the sound of rolling horses' hooves!

"Bang! Bang! Bang! ……! "The first group of five shooters smashed the trap with a wooden hammer in their hands at the same time.

The five cannonballs that were lit flew over with green smoke and the range of the torsion spring trebuchet. They can only send thirty catties of things out of a distance of about 200 meters.

But......! That's enough distance!

Li Xiao's ranging was very accurate, and the shells exploded in the ranks of the cavalry. The huge explosion power made the triangular nails scatter and splash in all directions, turning them into the most terrifying weapons.

Hezhe felt countless little things hit his armor, and he was not worried at first. He was wearing the cotton armor of the captured Ming army on the outside, and there was a layer of chain mail on the inside. On the battlefield, even if the Ming army's crossbow arrows shot directly, it could withstand it.

However, when he saw his body and began to rush blood, a huge pain quickly spread throughout his body.
