Chapter 213 Cunning Ming Army

Dai Shan is worthy of being a man who has been fighting for more than twenty years. After hearing the Ming army on the opposite side sing in unison, he knew that he could not let the Ming army continue to sing like this. If the morale of the Ming army on the opposite side rose to its peak, it would be difficult to fight today. With a quick decision, he immediately issued an order to attack.

The advance of the Later Jin army was quite regular. They did not flock forward in a swarm, but turned the more than 80 shield cars that were originally responsible for siege, and slowly pushed the money towards the Ming army. Then they ordered their eldest sons Yuetuo and Akden to approach from both sides respectively, which gave the opponent a sign of encirclement on three sides and pressure.

Perhaps some people said that it was just surrounded by three sides. Isn’t there anybody behind it? As long as there is a little military knowledge, everyone knows that this is the viciousness of the Later Jin Tartars. If the Jiangning army dares to turn around and escape, the Later Jin Tartars will hunt them easily like hunting, and in the end they will be wiped out.

Just as the Later Jin army was slowly forcing up, no one noticed that a six-rotor drone was slowly hovering over their heads, more than 300 meters above their heads. This six-rotor unmanned remote-controlled aircraft was floating quietly in the sky, flew through the sky from time to time, and was hanging an ultra-high-definition camera under the belly of the drone, quietly shooting everything that happened on the battlefield and teleporting it to the ground in time.

In a big car in the large square array where Yang Feng was, a beautiful girl in a three-color camouflage uniform was holding a remote control in her hand and slowly controlling the drone in the sky. Her eyes were staring nervously at the picture displayed by a tablet in front of her. In the picture of this tablet, the bird's-eye view of the entire battlefield was clearly presented. Behind the girl was Zheng Tuoniang, who was also nervously looking at the picture on the tablet.

"Oh, my wife, move a little further to the right, there will be some movement in the Tartar soldiers over there."

Yes, these two are Zheng Toniang and her maid Shiniang. For this expedition, in order to ensure that she can obtain the right to know the battlefield in a timely manner, Yang Feng also purchased a set of top professional aerial photography equipment, which is specially used for reconnaissance and shooting to obtain information on the battlefield.

Such a confidential thing naturally has to be handed over to the person you trust most, so at the beginning he handed over the operation rights of this equipment to Zheng Tuoniang, but what made him try the website was that Zheng Tuoniang really had no talent in this regard. He broke two drones in just one week, which made Yang Feng speechless. By chance, Yang Feng discovered that Zheng Tuoniang's close-fitting little maid Shin Niang actually had a high talent in operating drones. She had something that Zheng Tuoni had not learned in a week and had a smooth time in less than an hour. This surprised and happy Yang Feng, and decided to hand over the control of the drone to Shin Niang on the spot.

"Miss, don't make a noise. I see it, I'll go there right away!" The girl from Shin muttered while skillfully fiddling with the joystick, and Wu Ren flew towards the right.

"Oh, no, Miss, look, the Tartars sent a team of cavalry out of their own formation and planned to go around behind us. Tell the master quickly!"

"I understand, I'll tell you immediately!"

While talking, Zheng Tuo Niang picked up the walkie-talkie next to her and connected Yang Feng's channel...

"I understand, you and the Wise Girl continue to observe the movements of the Tartars!"

Yang Feng put down the walkie-talkie and sneered at the Tartars opposite him. Dai Shan was really sinister. While sending a large army to confront him, he also sent cavalry to go around behind and block his retreat. Does he think he is determined to be able to do anything?

After picking up the intercom again and connecting another channel, Yang Feng issued an order, "First, Second, Third Array, Artillery Preparation! Cavalry Brigade, immediately go forward to arrange defenses on both wings."

"clear!"

"The cavalry brigade understands!"

Soon, the answers of Qiu Disheng, Yang Daniu and several Qianhu and deputy Qianhu came from the intercom.

"Crazy..."

With Yang Feng's order, the five hundred cavalrymen originally arranged on the tail wing began to run towards the two wings. Each of these cavalry carried a heavy sack behind the saddle of the saddle. Everyone was shocked by their movement. What did these Ming troops want to do? Do they want to attack the Later Jin cavalry with just a few hundred people? They would not be so good at seeking death, right? You know, it is not as good as the battle that Ye Busuo pursued the Later Jin army just now. But taking advantage of the Later Jin army's unprepared to attack them. If they still want to use the same trick again when the Later Jin army is prepared, they can only seek death.

Yue Tuo, who was leading his headquarters to slowly approach the Ming army, saw that the Ming army had sent hundreds of cavalry to rush towards him. He could hardly believe his eyes. He had to know that he was the most elite two thousand vest soldiers. Did the Ming army general on the opposite side go crazy? He still thought that he was a heavenly soldier and general who came down to earth and dared to attack him on his own initiative.

When Jiala Zhangjing saw that the Ming army was so arrogant, he was so angry that he took the initiative to say to Yue Tuo: "Master, let the slave take people over and eat the Ming army?"

"No need!" Although Yue Tuo, the eldest son of Daishan, is only twenty-six years old this year, he is known as a wise general among the Jurchens. He stared at the Ming army in front of him and said calmly: "Our mission is to force the Ming army to keep pressure on them and let them come over. I want to see what tricks they can do."

"Yeah!" Although he was a little unwilling to give up, Jiala Zhangjing could only nodded in disappointment and retreated hatefully.

Dai Shan, who was standing at the highest point of the battlefield, also looked at the hundreds of Ming soldiers in front of him with a sneer on his face. He also wanted to see what tricks these Ming soldiers could do.

On the city wall, Sun Chengzong and other Ming generals also sighed, and Zhao Rujiao even muttered, "His grandma, are you planning to die?"

But the next scene surprised everyone. When these hundreds of Ming soldiers rushed to more than 300 meters away from the two-winged vest soldiers of the Later Jin Dynasty, they suddenly turned around and turned backwards. This shocked everyone's chin.

In the Later Jin Dynasty's main formation, all the Later Jin Tartars who saw this scene burst into laughter.

"Hahaha... are these Ming dogs here to make fun of us?"

The army of the Later Jin Dynasty saw that the Ming army who had just rushed back a few hundred meters and almost all laughed. For the Jurchens who advocated personal bravery, the actions of these Ming army were no different from those of cowards. Even the Ming army on the top of the city felt a hot face. At first, they wanted to praise them for their bravery, but they never thought they were just a group of wax-headed silver spears.

Sun Chengzong also frowned. Are these Ming troops really so unbearable? No, the military songs and high morale just now can't be fake.

"Look, what are they doing?" Zu Dale suddenly pointed to the left and shouted.

The Ming soldiers who were turning back all opened the sacks placed behind the butts of the war horse, and then they saw black things falling from the sacks.

"What is that?"

Sun Chengzong, who could not see clearly, quickly raised the Qianli Milestone and forgot to go over. When he saw the things that fell to the ground, he couldn't help but take a breath.

"That...that's caltrop!"

"What, is caltrop?"

"They actually threw caltrops?"

Almost everyone has grown up their mouths. This is really a god. No one would have thought that the purpose of these Ming troops coming out was to throw caltrops. This is too vicious.

Tertrangos are not rare things. In the Warring States Period in China, some troops had already used terrangos. It had four protruding iron thorns, several inches long. Whenever they landed on the ground, there was about one thorn towards the terrangostris. The tip of the thorns was like the herb "terrangostris", so it was called terrangostristris.

However, caltrops are generally only used for defense, and in the era of cold weapons, iron was a precious strategic material. There was no army like the Jiangning Army who would throw thousands of pounds of caltrops like the ones. They usually drill holes in the center of the caltrops and connect them with ropes for laying and collecting. However, this would not be of much use on the battlefield, because the opponent would easily find the rope to put these caltrops away.

This is also the reason why Yang Feng did not string the caltrops together like an ordinary army, because in this way, as long as the Later Jin army sent people to grab one and pull it apart, instead of just staring at the caltrops everywhere like now.

This scene that is a god-turning scene will also be watched by Sun Chengzong and the Later Jin army, who are paying attention to him, are stunned.

Seeing that the Ming army had just sprinkled bags of caltrops on the ground, they blocked thousands of Later Jin army. All the Jurchens were angry, and waves of roars and insults broke out in the camp of Later Jin. Although the Jurchens claimed to be brave, they were not arrogant enough to let their precious vest soldiers attack at the risk of being pierced by the horse's legs.

"Han Gou is so shameless!"

"The shameful Han dog, if we can't beat us, we will use such despicable means to stop the Great Jin army!"

Daishan was not angry. As the highest-ranking Big Beller besides Nurhaci, it would be too expensive if he would curse like ordinary Jurchens. He only saw him comforting the generals around him with a calm face and said, "It's okay, those Ming soldiers were afraid that they could not withstand the pressing of our Jurchen warriors from both sides, so they had no choice but to use such a way to tell Yuetou and Akton, send auxiliary soldiers to clear the caltrops, and then continue to move forward."

"Yeah!"

The messenger quickly took the order and left.

The Ming generals on the top of Jinzhou City also reacted differently after seeing this scene.

Zhao Rujiao pointed to the Later Jin cavalry who were forced to stop advancing and laughed: "These Jurchen Tartars were stunned now. Thousands of vests were actually stopped by some inconspicuous caltrops. Before they could clearly understand these caltrops, they could only stare at these things and stare at them."

Sun Chengzong also stroked his beard and smiled without saying a word. The actions of the Ming army in front were also called him. Unexpectedly, they played tricks on two common things like the iron caltrops, which actually stopped the fierce Jurchen cavalry.

Zu Dale curled his lips, muttering something in his mouth. Most of the Ming generals were applauding the friendly troops outside the city. Someone suddenly pointed at the outside of the city and shouted, "Look, everyone, they are starting to move!"

With the voice of the general, everyone saw only the soldiers in front of the first row of three military formations suddenly scattering, revealing the rows of artillery behind them.

As the five platoons of soldiers in front suddenly scattered, a cannon was revealed. Some people who were engaging in troubledness counted, and eight cannons were arranged in each hollow square formation. At this time, these cannons had all been loaded, and the black holes had already pointed at the Later Jin army that was approaching them more than a mile away.

The hollow square array of the first row is equipped with Napoleon m1841 6-pound field gun imitated by Minghu Steel Factory. It has a diameter of 93 mm, a tube length of 1.52 meters (16.3 times the caliber), and a gun weighs 389 kilograms. However, compared to the original version, this later imitation Napoleon cannon is equipped with inflatable wide rubber tires and more scientific and lighter ball bearings, so it is more convenient to move. It only takes a horse to pull it away.

Dai Shan, who was watching the black gun pointing at his army, was closely watching the movements of the Ming army, blurting out and shouting: "No!"

Just as Dai Shan shouted, Yang Feng also shouted at the walkie-talkie.

"The first, second, and third-party artillery, I am Yang Feng, I order the artillery to fire immediately!"

With the issuance of Yang Feng's order, Qiu Disheng, who was personally directing in the second formation of the first row, also raised the small red flag in his hand and roared it.

"fire!"

"fire!"

With Chiu Disheng's roar, twenty-four gunners lit the fuse located in the tail of the gun at the same time.

"Boom boom boom..."

Accompanied by a huge roar, a burst of white smoke rose, twenty-four 2.54 kilogram iron balls flew out of the muzzle at a speed of 439 meters per second, and flew towards the Later Jin army that was pushing towards them.

"boom……"

An iron projectile hit a shield car that was slowly advancing towards them without any bias.

Although the shield car was wrapped in four-inch wooden boards and two layers of cowhide, the thickness was enough to withstand almost all arrows and muskets, facing the impact of projectiles weighing 2.54 kilograms at a speed of more than 400 meters per second, the shield car built by the Later Jin army was still hit into pieces like a fragile watermelon.
