Chapter 194: Attacking the Village (1)
The generals present are not blind, so they can naturally see it.
If the Mingren's artillery could go any further, everyone here would suffer.
"The Ming artillery is powerful, although it can only fight one or two hundred steps, but how to attack the city?" A fan general frowned, looking at the embarrassed appearance of Mosin when he fled back with the remnants of less than five hundred soldiers, and said dissatisfied.
"My lord, please give me another chance, this time I will definitely rush forward with the soldiers."
Mosin fell to his knees and begged at the Hidden Blade.
At this time, he was covered in blood and mud, but he was not injured, and the blood stains on his body were splashed on him after the soldiers guarding him were hit by the Ming army's lead bullets.
Mo Xin was so angry, he led the army of the king of firewood sticks to kill Dongpu violently, who would have wanted to be defeated by this group of Ming people in the small town of Nainong.
"Go down first." Hidden Wu was also frightened by the Ming people's firearms.
This army is the defender of the sticks, and if they are all buried under the city of Nanon, if they let the hidden man know that he will have to be skinned.
"My lord, there are a lot of firearms in this Nainong City, and our army lacks siege firearms, so if we attack rashly, I am afraid that there will be heavy casualties." Hidden Wu was also in trouble, so he had to look at Ruan Youjing on the side.
Ruan Youjing didn't have any ideas at the moment, and the gunpowder of the fan army was damp by the rain and couldn't be used at all.
The artillery that came with the army naturally became scrap metal.
Previously, Mosin led an army of 800 to attack the city, but was repelled by the artillery and arrows of the Ming army defending the city, which is enough to prove the sharpness of the Ming army's firearms.
If there is no corresponding artillery siege, I am afraid that it will really not be able to take the city of Nainong.
"The Ming people's firearms are sharp, and it is somewhat difficult to break the city, so it is better to send troops to the nearby camp first, and break through the nearby Ming people's camp, one can get the Ming people's food and the other can isolate the Nanong City, if the rainstorm comes, the Ming people's firearms are dumb fire, and we can break the city." After Ruan Youjing thought about it for a while, he said to the hidden man.
He had no choice but to order the division of troops to attack the Ming camp near Nainong City, and when the follow-up heavy gunpowder had not yet been transported to the front of the army, it was still mainly to besiege Nainong.
About ten miles away from Nainong, there is a walled city of Ming people.
Li Shizheng, a guerrilla general of the Qianhai battalion, led his army to guard this camp, and there were 200 Ming soldiers guarding the wall.
With the help of the topography of the cottage, you can overlook the whole Nainong.
When the situation changes, you can also kill the army from the camp and attack the middle army directly.
Therefore, this Ming army is a thorn in the eyes of the Fanren, and Ruan Youjing has long wanted to pull it out first.
At this time, the Jianzhen Lapan army failed to attack Nainong, and Ruan Youjing ordered his subordinate Li Youcheng to lead 500 Guangnan soldiers to seize the camp first.
In order to make up for his mistakes, Mo Xin also brought four hundred Zhenla soldiers with him.
At this time, more than 200 soldiers of the Qianhai battalion were guarding the camp, and they saw 500 Guangnan soldiers and hundreds of Zhenla soldiers killing them one after the other, and they panicked for a while.
"What are you panicking about?" A general scolded on the wall.
"Lord Chen led thousands of soldiers to resist the siege of thousands of soldiers, and my Qianhai battalion soldiers will be one by one, what are you afraid of in the face of hundreds of soldiers?" Li Shi of the Qianhai camp was dressed in military uniform, holding a long knife to patrol.
Seeing that many of the soldiers were frightened, they shouted loudly.
was yelled at by the guerrilla general, and most of the soldiers settled down.
"Quickly gather the village soldiers in the city as a reserve." Li Shi instructed one of his subordinates.
At this moment, there are not only more than 200 Qianhai camp soldiers in the camp, but also thousands of Ming people in the village.
The city is not large, and it is impossible to settle tens of thousands of Han people.
Therefore, the Ming people of the nearby villages and communities not only moved to Nainong City, but also moved to several other camps.
Seeing that it would take some time for the soldiers to arrive, Li Shi hurriedly ordered all the young and strong people in the village to gather and participate in the defense of the village.
"General Mo, the credit for capturing the village this time is still for you." Li Youcheng pointed to the hundreds of soldiers under Mo Xin's command and spoke.
Mosin was unhappy, but he didn't have a seizure.
This attack on Dongpu was originally Zhenla's order to recover the lost territory, so it was naturally the main attack of Zhenla's army.
I just suffered a big loss under the city of Nainong, and Mo Xin has no face, if you want to raise your head in front of the fellow generals again, you must take the Ming camp this time.
"The last general will thank you in advance." Mo Xin hugged his fists at Li Youcheng and thanked him, and then rode his horse and led the army there.
This time, Mosin wasn't as careless as before.
He ordered the horsemen to set out and approach the temptation.
Dozens of elite cavalry set off and rushed towards the Ming army camp.
The cavalry was very fast and killed the Ming army camp.
When approaching the slope of the hill where the Ming army camp was located for more than 200 steps, the expected Ming artillery did not go off.
"Haha, that's right, where did this Ming people in Dongpu get so many firearms?" Seeing this, Li Youcheng in the rear also laughed.
I thought to myself, this Mosin is not stupid, and he knows that he will use the horse team to test the firepower of the Ming army first.
The horse team was very restrained at first, and after knowing the power of the Ming people's firearms, they had been wandering more than two hundred steps away from the Ming army camp.
But the artillery of the Ming army was not heard for a long time, and the general of the horse team was overjoyed, and hurriedly led the army to the front to kill.
Dozens of cavalry rushed in, the neighing of horses one after another, the horses' hooves trampling in the dirt, and mud splashing.
The Ming defenders guarding the camp could all feel the ground trembling.
Finally, a Ming gunsmith couldn't bear it anymore and took the lead in firing it.
"Bang!" A burst of fire appeared, and the sound of the gun was soon drowned out in the hooves of the horses.
But with this sound, more Ming gunners opened fire.
The archers on the city walls also took their bows and shot at the horse caravan a hundred paces away.
"Bastard, who allowed you to fire." One of the flag officers was furious, and he was almost mad at the sight of the firecrackers on the city wall firing their guns.
The team had clearly come to provoke and test the firepower, and had been wandering more than a hundred paces outside the city.
This distance is not to mention the firecracker, even if the bow and arrow are enough, it is not very lethal.
Sure enough, more than a hundred steps away from the camp, the horse team has been on a rampage, and no one has fallen off their horses.
Seeing this, the cavalrymen on the horse shouted one after another, shouting words that Akito could not understand.
There were even more than a dozen cavalrymen riding horses and rushing directly towards the camp.
The cavalry charged quickly, but in a few breaths they rushed to the front of the camp, and these soldiers immediately became skilled in archery.
Shoot your bow and arrows, then ride away.
In just one round, seven or eight Ming soldiers were shot dead or wounded.
The Ming troops on the camp were also angry, and they all took bows and shot at the cavalry of the horse team.
By this time, the cavalry had already galloped away.
The arrows fell dozens of paces away in the mud, leaving only the laughter of the soldiers.
Just when the archers of the Ming army finished shooting arrows and then took arrows and took their bows, more than a dozen cavalry took over the previous horse team and rushed towards the camp.
Taking advantage of the intermittent work of the Ming army's archers to build their bows, there was another round of arrow rain on the city wall.
Several Ming archers were caught off guard, and fell into the camp screaming when they were pierced by seven or eight arrows.
Fanren's horse team went back and forth round after round of harassment.
The Ming army on the camp was naturally furious.
More lead bullets and arrows flew down, but the attacking Fanmen and horses only came with more than ten horses at a time, and each horse was more than ten paces apart.
However, the horse team was moving at high speed, and the Ming archers or firecrackers on the camp could not beat the cavalry moving at high speed.
And more importantly, the Ming soldiers on the camp were crowded again, densely lined up in columns after columns.
Every time the soldiers arrived at the camp more than 20 steps away, they turned their horses' heads and turned around with an arrow.
And when the Ming army archers on the camp reacted, the fancai had already run forty or fifty paces away.
At this distance, the lead bullets and bows and arrows of the firearms were basically not enough to reach these cavalry.
In this way, the Ming soldiers on the camp suffered twenty or thirty casualties.
The Ming soldiers on the camp could only lie on the head of the city and did not dare to raise their heads.
"Give me some guns, and kill these guys." After Li Shi saw this, he finally couldn't bear it anymore.
I thought that the few artillery pieces I had at hand must be used to resist the attack of the Fanda army.
But now the team of people in front of the camp is as annoying as flies.
The key is that the Ming army's gunners and archers can't help these horses.
was so angry that Li Shi had no choice but to call out the artillery and bombard it towards the outside of the camp.
The only four stone cannons on the camp began to fire.
