Appearance:

Park Zhengxin's nephew is the North Korean general who leads the team, this is terrible, and he hurriedly rode out of the queue to plead with his nephew, Amin looked at Park Zhengxin coldly: "What, the North Korean slave has to make his own decisions?" ”

Park Zhengxin heard that the whole person was paralyzed and weak, how could he be in charge of this situation now, he could only watch his nephew be beheaded, and hang it on the flagpole to warn the North Korean military departments.

Chen Cao looked at the corpse under the city wall, this was the second time he saw the power of the rifle clearly after Fujian, but Chen Cao also had scruples, since Sun Chuanting and others went to the Middle East, the rifles and bullets produced by the Liang Fan Arsenal were sent to the Middle East in half to reinforce them, and the expedition to Korea, each soldier of the three rifle divisions issued only twenty rounds of ammunition in his hand.

"There is no spare ammunition..."

Grenades and bullets are also only equipped by some people, and there is only one.

Therefore, Chen Cao had to plan carefully in terms of tactics, because they did not have extra ammunition to supply here, and even if they did, they would have to wait for Zheng Zhilong's fleet to arrive in Incheon, and they would have to return from Inchon to Shanghai for transportation, and this back and forth, without a month and a half is absolutely not enough.

This is the level of semi-industrial production of bullets, it's too slow...

"The ministries must conserve ammunition, and there must be enough ammunition until there is a decisive battle with Amin."

Feng Zhongping smiled: "Lord Wang, please look, if the Jiannu Tartars are impacted, we will shoot hundreds of people, and there are a thousand dead corpses." ”

"You can see clearly, it's basically North Koreans."

"These Tartars aren't stupid..."

Chen Cao looked around, and then frowned, although Hanyang is the capital of North Korea, but only the height of the city gate tower is about six meters above the four city gates, and the height of the city walls and horse roads scattered on both sides of the remaining city gate tower is only about three meters.

"Tell the soldiers of all departments to take turns to shoot, and never let Jiannu get close to the city wall."

Zhao Xin quickly came to the north city, and after running up the city tower, he hurriedly reported: "Lord Wang, tens of thousands of Jiannu have stormed Muyue Mountain, this is an urgent report from Commander Tang Jun. ”

Chen Cao hurriedly opened the military report, and his brows were even more wrinkled into Sichuan characters: "They want to surround the point and send reinforcements?" Or do you want to do the opposite? ”

Saying that, Chen Cao looked at Zhao Xin: "Is there any movement over there Liu Xingzuo?" ”

Zhao Xin shook his head: "It's still the scout sent two hours ago, and now it hasn't come back." ”

When Chen Cao heard this, he felt that the Jiannu in front of him was really not a fool, and he could actually come to a backhand to send reinforcements, there was a small plain under Muyue Mountain, even if he was equipped with a new rifle, Chen Cao did not dare to attack rashly.

Because from the course of history, it can be proved that before the advent of machine guns, cavalry was already the absolute force that influenced the situation on the battlefield.

Chen Cao will not be fooled by the movies of later generations, a group of Britons armed with front-loading smoothbore flintlock pistols defeated hundreds of cavalry, as long as it is a spacious plain, the number of cavalry of the opponent is equal to his own, then if you want to win, you can only depend on luck and the commander's on-the-spot response, otherwise even if you have a rifle, there is no way to directly affect the speed of the cavalry.

Unless the other party is all foot soldiers.

Once the cavalry reached the front of the musketeers, the infantry with muskets could only be beaten passively and slaughtered.

"Send someone to inform Tang Yannian to save ammunition, but also to cause trouble to the Jiannu who attacked the mountain, let them know that it is powerful."

"Yes..."

"Also, Tang Yannian must not be allowed to take the initiative to go down the mountain..."

Half an hour later, the reprepared 10,000 Korean troops, under the command of the master of Jiannu, rushed towards the city wall with ladders and large shields.

At this moment, Feng Zhongping was directly responsible for the command, and when he saw this, he shouted: "All departments are in accordance with the military order, and they must not shoot empty guns to save ammunition..."

'Bang bang bang... Bang bang bang ... Bang bang bang ... Bang bang bang ... Bang bang bang...'

Half an hour ago, the scene was repeated again under the northern city, even with a heavy shield, but the Korean troops behind the shield were still pierced by bullets and fell to the ground, and Jiannu, who commanded the center of each team, brandished a long knife and shouted to order those Korean troops to continue the attack.

Under the city walls, less than 300 of the 3,000 Korean troops who rushed up were left.

The corpses were all piled up behind their charge.

"The Tartars are just under the walls..."

"Throw grenades..."

'Bang bang bang...'

With the explosion of grenades and bombs, all the Korean soldiers who managed to rush under the city wall were killed, and the survivors wailed and bled profusely.

Amin's muscles were violent, and the 3,000 vanguard army was wiped out, and even the several big Taurus warriors under his command all died under the city walls.

More than 3,000 corpses were placed under the northern city, the scene was extremely spectacular, and now it was already three poles of the sun, and Amin had to order the whole army to eat, and prepare a full meal before attacking.

Chen Cao looked at the smoke rising in the distance, put down the clairvoyant mirror, and said, "First Division, go out of the city..."

Feng Zhongping was overjoyed, and then immediately went down to the city tower.

Squeak...

Under the command of Feng Zhongping, the 1st Division slowly walked out of the city, but the outside of the city was full of corpses, and they could not step neatly, and when passing by the Korean army or Jiannu Tartars who were not yet dead, the soldiers of the 1st Division would give them a good time with the bayonets on their guns.

Xin Laosan of the 2nd Forward Brigade looked at the Korean army and the Jiannu cavalry that had begun to assemble, and shouted loudly: "The 2nd Brigade, with the 5th Regiment as the main attack, is advancing step by step..."

Passing over the corpses covered in the mud, Xu Tao, the commander of the Fifth Regiment, shouted, and with the 1,500 people under his command, he walked towards the Jiannu Formation three miles away.

The divisions were scattered in a narrow battlefield with companies as the basic units, and the current tactics were not as similar to the rifle duels of later generations, and when the two sides began to fight, they would use cover as protection to block the attack or use other cover to attack.

At this time, even if the opponent has a firearm, he is still not a rifle opponent.

Therefore, the tactics are still to advance in unison and carry out coordinated attacks.

"Archers prepare..."

A North Korean officer drew his long knife, then looked at the men and horses behind him: "Fire gun quasi-fire..."

At this moment, the visual distance is still three hundred steps away, but Amin has already lost the chicken leg in his hand: "Elli, send people to attack on the left and right wings to eat this arrogant Mingren." ”

"Solantu, you lead two Niu Lu to attack Minggou's right flank..."

Knowing the strength of his opponent's firearms, Elley ordered his cavalry to prepare the round shield: "The golden warriors are invincible, rush..."

The horses' hooves were arrayed, and most of the men and horses of the first division were still mixed with new recruits, because of the expansion plan of the Liang Domain, even the ordinary soldiers of the original first division became officers or senior officers of other troops.

Even so, high-intensity training is still the focus, and in the face of the opponent's cavalry attack, the training drill book is very clear, stick to the spot, and do a three-stage salvo.

Xu Tao still remembers the scene when he was still a small flag in Liaodong when he faced the Jiannu cavalry, when he was still holding a flintlock pistol in his hand, at the moment when the enemy cavalry was approaching, they could only use the bayonet at the head of the spear as a spear, and after that battle, only two people left in his small banner were him.

"Stand by the spot, conduct training drills, three-stage salvos, and each unit is a company..."

"Listen to orders..."

Chen Cao's heart was raised in his throat, because the plain in front of him was enough to run about three thousand war horses, this strength, even if he used a rifle to block the enemy, there was still no way to completely defeat the opponent.

"Shoot..."

'Bang bang bang... Bang bang bang ... Bang bang bang ... Bang bang bang ... Bang bang bang ... Bang bang bang...'

Although the smoke produced by the new gunpowder was smaller, it still covered the battlefield with a layer of white smoke under such high-intensity firing, but it was much better than the previous situation when a dozen or so salvos were fired down to obscure the entire battlefield.

Arrows and lead bullets also flew at the same time, but due to the distance, only a few dozen unlucky eggs were hit by the stray arrows, and only minor injuries were formed.

There were only more than 200 people left under the command of Solantu's two Niu Lu after more than a dozen rounds of volleys, and they were already frightened at this moment, and the dead were all the warriors of the Eight Banners, even his master Amin did not dare to hide this casualty in front of Huang Taiji, and he would definitely be whipped when he went back.

"The right-wing Tartars withdrew..."

Chen Cao can also be regarded as climbing high and looking far, when Zhao Xin walked up to the city tower and handed over: "Lord, the prince of North Korea, Li Zhen, is here in person and wants to see you." ”

Li Wei was allowed to go up to the city tower, and he had already heard the sound of muskets, but now there was still the sound of artillery, and he didn't know what the casualties were: "His Royal Highness King Liang, please send troops to participate in the battle and defeat Jiannu..."

Chen Cao looked him up and down with interest, and then sneered: "The prince has operated a musket? ”

Li Xun looked up: "Never used." ”

"Do you have any experience in battle formations?"

Seeing that Li Zhen's expression was a little stagnant, Chen Cao asked again: "Then do the people of your Shizi Yiwei Division have the opportunity to fight?" ”

Only Han Jinzhe and Kong Sung had guarded the mountain fortress of North Han before, and in fact there was no chance of engaging in battle, but he did not feel that he could not go out of the city without combat experience: "The Korean army and people are willing to serve the country. ”

Chen Cao laughed, and then patted Li Zhen's shoulder: "Okay, there are no more than 10,000 Korean troops in the city, and this king sees that many people and horses under your command are still manipulating water and fire sticks, don't go out of the city and give your life in vain, and ask the Jiannu people to laugh at you for being the North Korean stick army." ”

Chen Cao saw that Li Xun's face was slightly red, and then looked at the sky: "This battle will be fought until evening..."
