Chapter 5
I rushed for a day during the day, and I came to Zhao Shujiao at night. Li Xiao was also really sleepy, and fell asleep crooked on the stool.
The North Korean girl saw that Li Xiao was asleep, and hurriedly laid Li Xiao's body flat.
Li Xiao was woken up by the noise of the morning, and everyone got up early because there was action today. Li Xiao is considered a rich man, and the food on Phi Island has always been good. If you want to pull people to work, you must keep people fed and clothed, which is the most basic condition in Li Xiao's view. Unlike those officers of the Ming army, even the soldiers were greedy for food. The Ming soldiers at the bottom eat food, which can be called pig food!
The king of Joseon is very good at coming to things, and after entering the city yesterday, the king of Joseon sent someone to send a few pigs, some chickens, ducks, fish and other things. This morning's war meal was very rich.
This morning, the chef specially made a big steamed bun braised pork, and North Korea does not produce rice. This flour was brought from Phi Dao, and there were many Shandong people in the team. They both like to eat pasta and don't like to eat rice.
The rice porridge is thick, the big steamed buns are soft, and there is a feeling of springing teeth in the mouth. Authentic Shandong flour is ...... in one word!
The North Korean girl knelt in front of Li Xiao and watched Li Xiao eat. From time to time, he also used a spoon to put the braised pork into Li Xiao's bowl, which was very awkward to eat by himself and watched by others.
"Uh......! What is your name! Li Xiao thinks that communication must start with the name.
The North Korean girl shook her head blankly, and Li Xiao was speechless. His mother's king of North Korea sent a big girl over, not to mention training. It's even a communication problem, and how the fuck is ...... traffic!
This has wronged the king of North Korea, in their eyes, women are used to sleep and communicate? Is this necessary? Wouldn't it be nice to be beautiful enough to sleep?
"What do I see Nem?" Li Xiao tried to communicate in a foreign language, and since he was a foreign friend, he should be able to use a foreign language.
The North Korean girl still shook her head!
"Your ...... What a job......! ”
“……!”
After a morning of failed communication, Li Xiao still made a little progress. At least he told the girl that what he was holding in his hand was called steamed bread, and what was in the bowl was called porridge.
"Didn't sleep well last night? Also, a bright big girl. Last night was more tiring than digging a vegetable cellar......! Ao Canghai is not a good person, when he saw Li Xiao yawning, he used the most obscene tone to say the dirty picture imagined in his heart.
Ignoring this scumbag full of evil thoughts, Li Xiao flew with a roll of his eyes and jumped onto the ox cart of the artillery team. Although the ox cart is slow, it is better than carrying a heavy load. Fortunately, it is winter, and the ground is already frozen. If it's summer, it's hard to walk on the roads in North Korea. Maybe in a few steps, you'll fall into a mud puddle.
The two men who had gone out of the city to reconnoiter last night had returned, and there was indeed a cavalry of the Tartars about ten miles outside the west gate. These cavalrymen were very vigilant and would send out sentries even at night. The two men did not get too close, and a thousand people from the campfire was the minimum number.
"This is terrain!" Ao Canghai looked at the surrounding terrain and said with a frown.
The west side of Pyongyang can be described as a flat river, and there is not even a fucking dirt bag. Such a battlefield belongs to the cavalry and is a nightmare for any infantryman. Man Gui only had more than a hundred cavalry under him, and he couldn't defeat a thousand Tartar cavalry no matter what. What's more, it is said that these cavalry are still the elite Red Armor Bayala Army.
It is said that this is the elite personally selected by Nurhachi, and the status is very high among the Tartars. Bayala, also known as Baiyala, is the Manchu word for the protector.
Among them, the Red Armor Bayala Army is Nurhachi's personal guard, while the White Armor Bayala Army is the guard of the banner lord Beyler. Among the Tartar protectors, the status of the Red Armor Bayala Army was even higher than that of the White Armor Bayala Army.
What Li Xiao faced was Nurhachi's pro-army, the Red Jiabayala Army. Needless to say, the elite of the army must also be the battlefield veteran who Nurhachi trusts.
"Yes! The terrain is not in our favor! What's going on over there with Zhao Shujiao? "Li Xiao now thinks that Zhao Shujiao is fooling himself, and he doesn't have the courage to fight with Tartar at all.
"That bastard is a thief, and he left the city early in the morning. I guess I'm afraid that we're looking at him, and the north of his mother's Pyongyang city is Peony Peak. They could garrison on the high ground, and the Tartar cavalry would attack from the back even if they rushed up. But we can't, you see, there isn't even a mountain bag here. What a formation! Once the Tartar cavalry comes around from the flanks, we're all done! ”
Ao Canghai spewed a breath of white air, fighting is not a joke. It's really going to die, and the formation of the Tartar elite cavalry charging has been seen on the banks of the Hunhe River. It's so fucking fierce!
The white pole soldiers and the Qi family army were all crushed in this way.
"The queen withdraws, closer to the wall."
"Do you expect some support from the plague chickens in the city? Don't be funny! Man Gui glanced at the Korean army on the city wall in the distance, and the banners were drooping, and he was very disdainful.
Strange to say, the army has little morale. Even his mother's flag doesn't have much morale, and it's clear that there is still some wind today. But the flag just can't be unfurled!
The trebuchet was unloaded, and the ox carts lined up on either side. Sprinkle more triangular nails on both sides, and since we don't have a flank, let's create a flank. Move some irregular stones and place them on the ground on both sides. Then send some people to dig some small pits in the ground that are one foot deep and the mouth of the bowl is thick. Li Xiao pointed to the open space on both sides, these are the clever tricks of the infantry against the cavalry.
Irregular stones can easily fall if a war horse steps on them. It's winter, and I fell to the ground from a galloping war horse, and even if I didn't die, I had to live without being able to take care of myself.
As for the small pit with a thick bowl mouth, it is even more powerful, and if the hooves of the galloping war horse step on it, it can break the legs of the war horse.
Triangular nails are definitely a good thing, and they are effective for both people and horses. And the manufacturing cost is low, which is really a must-have choice for home travel.
"That's the only way, let's build a flank."
"Brother Man, take your cavalry to lure the Tartar soldiers, there are only more than a hundred of you. The Tartars are crazy and should send troops to chase after them. We will eat as many people as there are coming. I guess Zhao Shujiao doesn't have the courage to really fight with the Tartars, if he has the courage to fight in Liaoyang. They also stayed at Peony Peak for a day and withdrew to Pyongyang at night.
Let the Koreans see, they also dare to go out of the city to fight the Tartars. When the time comes, we only need to get some heads, and we will win. ”
"You're right, Zhao Shujiao that soft egg is really in the Peony Peak. It's hard for him, it's freezing outside on such a cold day. Brothers, the event! Activity! It's work! Ao Canghai shouted, and the company commanders and platoon commanders began to assign tasks. He who digs a pit digs a pit, and he who moves a stone moves a stone.
There are also people lined up with thick cotton gloves and sprinkling triangular nails. That density, you are only allowed to say that you can't step on it, but you are not allowed to say that Lao Tzu is not sprinkled.
The Koreans at the head of the city looked at the Ming army below in surprise, not knowing what these Ming troops were busy with.
Zhao Shujiao is not stupid, he specially sent people to the city today to see how Li Xiao acted. The spies saw that Li Xiao was setting up the formation, and immediately went back to report it to Zhao Shujiao. It seems that these Mao Wenlong's subordinates really want to fight with the Tartars.
The formation was almost laid out, and Man Gui set off with his men.
I didn't dare to let the horse gallop, and I had to run away for a while to keep the horsepower.
On the way, they met a few Tartar scouts, and they were full of arrows. Obviously, he saw that he had shot the Tartar soldiers, but none of them fell under the horse, but the Tartar soldiers returned a few arrows.
Sure enough, the Tartars are elite, and the armor on their bodies is heavily armored. Arrows and bows could not penetrate at all, not only men wore armor, but even horses wore armor. The arrow hit it as if it were tickling.
The aim of the return shot was very hard, and several people had arrows stuck in their bodies. The armor of the Tartar soldiers is good, and the armor of Mangui is not given for nothing. The sharp arrows did not even penetrate the first layer of fish scale armor, let alone the chain mail inside.
When the Tartar scouts saw that their arrows were full of Gui and they could not do anything, they immediately ran back to the camp with a cry.
According to their experience, only the most elite Ming army would have such armor. Although the Red Armor Baya Army is crazy, it is not an idiot who fantasizes about being able to fight dozens of them.
As soon as Man Gui saw the Tartar camp, he saw countless Tartar cavalry pouring out of the camp. The smoke and dust from the horses' hooves soared into the sky, and it was impossible to see how many people there were in the smoke.
When the Tartars left the camp, they did not immediately charge. Instead, they stood guard in front of the camp and covered the cavalry behind them to reorganize the ranks.
At a glance, you can see that the Red Armor Bayala Army is worthy of its name. At least this tactical literacy is not a little bit stronger than the Tartar soldiers encountered before.
"Stop!" Man Gui gave an order, and the cavalry reined in their horses.
Seeing that the opponent's cavalry was gradually forming a formation, Man Gui shouted: "Withdraw!" ”
There were more than 1,000 people on the opposite side, and there were only more than 100 people on his own. If you're crazy, you'll rush up and fight them, and his mission is to lure the enemy. As long as you lead these red-armored Bayala troops to the front of Li Xiao's military formation, then you can be considered a winner.
When his cavalry heard Man Gui's order, they immediately turned their horses around and left. That's when the fool will fall behind. Don't care about cherishing horsepower, it's important to escape!
Seeing that these elite Ming troops actually left without a fight, where was the Hongjia Bayala Army willing to let go. There are not many opportunities to encounter such elite Ming cavalry, and the Hongjia Baya Lama Army shouted and rushed up on a war horse.
