chapter Five

After a long journey during the day, he met Zhao Shujiao again in the evening. Li Xiao was really sleepy, so he leaned on a stool and fell asleep.

When the North Korean girl saw Li Xiao asleep, she quickly laid Li Xiao's body down.

Li Xiao was woken up by the noise in the morning. Everyone got up very early because there was action today. Li Xiao is considered a rich man, and the food on the island is always good. If you want to get people to work, you must feed them and clothe them.

Warmth, in Li Xiao's opinion, is the most basic condition. Unlike those officers of the Ming Army who were greedy even for the soldiers' food. The food eaten by the soldiers at the bottom of the Ming Army was like pig food!

The King of Korea is very good at making things happen. After entering the city yesterday, the King of Korea sent people to deliver some pigs and some chickens, ducks and fish. This morning's war meal was very rich.

The chef specially made big steamed buns with braised pork this morning. Rice is not produced in North Korea. The flour was brought from Pidao, but there were many people from Shandong in the team. They all like to eat pasta, not rice.

The rice porridge is thick and the steamed buns are soft and chewy. The authentic Shandong flour is so strong...!

The North Korean girl knelt down in front of Li Xiao and watched Li Xiao eat. From time to time, she used a spoon to put the braised pork into Li Xiao's bowl. It felt very awkward to eat while others watched.

"Uh...! What's your name!" Li Xiao felt that communication should start with the name.

The North Korean girl shook her head blankly, and Li Xiao was speechless. The fucking King of North Korea sent a big girl over, and he didn’t even mention training her. There is even a communication problem, so how the hell can she communicate with her...!

This is an injustice to the king of North Korea. In their eyes, women are just for sleeping. Is it necessary to communicate? Isn’t it good to be beautiful enough to sleep with?

"Look at Nemu?" Li Xiao tried to communicate in a foreign language. Since he was a foreign friend, he should be able to use a foreign language.

The North Korean girl still shakes her head!

"Your...whatever job...!"

"...!"

After a morning of failed communication, Li Xiao still made some progress. At least he told the girl that what he was holding in his hand was called steamed buns and what was in the bowl was called porridge.

"Didn't you sleep well last night? Yes, she is a bright and bright girl. Last night was more tiring than digging a vegetable cellar...!" Ao Canghai is not a good person. When he sees Li Xiao yawning, he uses the most obscene words

The tone of his voice revealed the dirty scene he imagined in his mind.

Ignoring this scum full of evil thoughts, Li Xiao rolled his eyes and jumped onto the artillery team's ox cart. Although the ox cart was slow, it carried a heavy load. Fortunately, it was winter and the ground was already frozen solid. If it were summer,

, on the roads in North Korea, it is difficult to walk with an ox cart. You might fall into a mud pit after just a few steps.

The two people who went out to investigate last night came back. There was indeed a Tatar cavalry about ten miles outside the west gate. These cavalry were very alert and would send out sentries even at night. The two people did not get too close and observed from the campfire.

One thousand people is the minimum number.

"This damn terrain is too bad!" Ao Canghai looked at the surrounding terrain and said with a frown.

The west of Pyongyang can be described as a flat plain, not even a fucking bumpkin. Such a battlefield belongs to the cavalry and is a nightmare for any infantry. Mangui only has more than a hundred cavalry, and he can't defeat a thousand Tatar cavalry anyway. More

What's more, it is said that these cavalry are elite red-armored Baya La troops.

It is said that these are the elites selected by Nurhaci personally, and they have a very high status among the Tatars. Baya La, also known as Bayala, means guarding the army in Manchu.

Among them, the red-armored Baya Army is Nurhachi's personal guard, while the white-armored Baya Army is the guard of the banner leader Beile. Among the Tatar guards, the red-armored Baya Army has a higher status.

In Baijia Baya La Army.

What Li Xiao faced was Nurhachi's pro-army Red Jiabayala Army. Needless to say, they were elite, and the generals leading the army must also be Nurhaci's trusted battlefield veterans.

"Yes! The terrain is not good for us! What's going on with Zhao Shujiao?" Li Xiao now thinks that the bastard Zhao Shujiao is deceiving him and has no guts to fight the Tatars.

"That bastard is a very thief. He left the city early in the morning. He is probably afraid that we will look at him. To the north of Pyongyang is the Peony Peak. They can use the high ground to garrison. Even if the Tatar cavalry rushes up, they will attack from behind.

But we can’t do it. Look, there’s not even a hill here. How can we set up a formation like this! Once the Tatar cavalry come around from the flanks, we’re all done!”

Ao Canghai let out a breath of white air. Fighting is no joke. People will really die. I have seen the charging formation of the Tatar elite cavalry on the banks of the Hun River. It is so damn fierce!

The Baigan soldiers and Qi's army were all defeated in this way.

"Queen, retreat and get closer to the city wall."

"You expect those plague chickens on the city to provide some support? Don't be ridiculous!" Man Gui glanced at the Korean army with drooped flags on the wall in the distance and was very disdainful.

It's strange to say that the army has no morale. Even the flag has no morale. It's clear that there is still some wind today, but the flag just can't be displayed!

"The trebuchets were unloaded and the bullock carts were lined up on both sides. Triangular nails were scattered on both sides. Since we don't have wings, let's make one. Move some irregular stones and place them on the ground on both sides. Then send them out.

Some people dug small holes in the ground that were one foot deep and as wide as the mouth of a bowl." Li Xiao pointed to the open spaces on both sides. These were clever tricks for infantry to deal with cavalry.

If a war horse steps on irregular stones, it will easily fall down. This is winter, and if you fall from a galloping war horse to the ground, even if you survive, you will still be unable to take care of yourself.

As for the small pit as thick as a bowl, it is even more serious. If the hooves of a galloping horse step into it, it can break the horse's legs.

The triangular nail is definitely a good thing, it is effective for both people and horses. And it is cheap to make, so it is really a must-have choice for home and travel.

"That's all we can do, let's just create a wing."

"Brother Man, please take your cavalry to lure the Tatar soldiers. There are only more than a hundred of you. The Tatar soldiers are very crazy. They should send troops to chase them. We will eat as many people as they come. I guess Zhao led the army

They didn't have the guts to actually fight the Tatars. If they had the guts, they would have fought in Liaoyang. They would have stayed at Moran Peak for one day and retreated to Pyongyang in the evening.

Let the Koreans see that they dare to go out of the city to fight the Tatars. Then we only need to get some heads and we will win."

"You're right, that weakling Zhao Shujiao really set up a battle at Peony Peak. It's hard for him to stay outside in such a cold weather for a whole day. Brothers, move! Move! Let's get to work!" Ao Canghai shouted.

, the company commander and platoon commanders began to assign tasks. Those who dug holes dug holes, and those who moved rocks moved rocks.

There are also people lined up in a row, wearing thick cotton gloves, spreading triangular nails. With such density, you can only say that you can't step on them, but you can't say that I didn't sprinkle them.

The Koreans on the top of the city looked at the Ming troops below in surprise, wondering what these Ming troops were busy with.

Zhao Shujiao is not stupid. He specially sent people on the top of the city today to see how Li Xiao acted. When the spies saw Li Xiao setting up the formation, they immediately went back and reported it to Zhao Shujiao. It seemed that these Mao Wenlong's men really wanted to

Fight with the Tatars.

After the formation was almost arranged, Man Gui took his men and set off.

I didn't dare to let the horse gallop, and I had to run away later to conserve its power.

Encountering several Tatar scouts on the road, Mangui and the others fired arrows at them. It seemed that they had hit the Tatar soldiers, but none of them fell under their horses. Instead, the Tatar soldiers fired back a few arrows.

As expected, the Tatars were elite, and they were all heavily armored. Bows and arrows could not be penetrated at all. Not only were the people wearing armor, but even the horses were also covered in armor. When the arrows hit them, it was as if they were scratching an itch.

The counterattack was very accurate, and several of them had arrows inserted into their bodies. The Tatar soldiers had good armor, and Mangui and his men were not given their armor for free. The sharp arrows did not even penetrate the first layer of fish scales, and even more

Not to mention the chainmail inside.

When the Tatar scouts saw that their arrows were full of laurels and they were helpless, they immediately ran back to the camp howling.

According to their experience, only the most elite Ming army would have such armor. Although the red-armored Baya La army was crazy, they were not just imagining an idiot who could fight dozens of people.

As soon as Mangui saw the Tatar camp, he saw countless Tatar cavalry pouring out of the camp. The smoke raised by the horses' hooves shot up into the sky, and it was unclear how many people there were in the smoke.

After these Tatar soldiers left the camp, they did not immediately charge on horseback. Instead, they stood guard in front of the camp, covering the cavalry behind them to reorganize the team.

At a glance, you can tell that the red-armored Baya La army is well-deserved. At least this tactical quality is not a bit better than the Tatar soldiers they encountered before.

"Stop!" Mangui ordered, and the cavalrymen reined in their horses.

Seeing the opponent's cavalry gradually forming formation, Mangui shouted: "Retreat!"

There are more than a thousand people on the opposite side, and he only has more than a hundred. Only if he is crazy would he rush up to fight with them. His mission is to lure the enemy. He only needs to lure these red-armored Baya La soldiers to Li Xiao's military formation.

If you go ahead, then you will be considered a winner.

Upon hearing Mangui's order, the cavalrymen under him immediately turned their horses around and drove away. Only at this time would a fool fall behind. They did not care about cherishing their horse power and it was important to escape!

Seeing that these elite Ming troops actually left without fighting, the red-armored Baya La army was not willing to let go. There were not many opportunities to encounter such elite Ming army cavalry. The red-armored Baya La army gave a shout and rushed forward on their horses.

Come up.
