"Teacher Chen means that your artillery team can hit them the best. If they can't hit, the First Division will start crossing the river." The official of the banner said to Lin Ping.

Lin Ping's expression became solemn.

He understood that if their artillery team could not defeat or repel the Mongolian armored cavalry two miles away from the other side of the river, when the First Division crossed the river, the Mongolian armored cavalry would definitely charge against the First Division soldiers crossing the river.

Since the Mongolians left a Mongolian armored cavalry there, everyone understood that it was prepared for the war soldiers who crossed the river with the tiger flag.

"Don't worry, our tiger flag gunner is the most powerful gunner in the Ming Dynasty and will definitely hit it." Lin Ping said solemnly, then turned around and ordered, "Three hundred steps ahead of the artillery team."

When the order was issued, the cannon trucks began to move forward.

The three hundred steps are already by the river, and further forward is the river water, which is also the limit for the artillery team to move forward.

With the skillful operation of the gunners, the gunners were arranged properly on the river bank.

"All gunners adjust their guns to target the Mongolian armored cavalry in front of them." Lin Ping waved the flag in his hand and pointed to the Mongolian armored cavalry on the other side of the river.

A gunner began to adjust the guns around him, then fixed them with wooden wedges, and finally started loading.

After everything was ready, Lin Ping waved the flag in his hand vigorously and shouted loudly: "Let it go!"

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Dozens of four-pound cannons fired, and solid iron balls shot out from the cannon chamber, bombarding the Mongolian armored cavalry on the other side of the river.

After the shelling, Lin Ping saw the final result through the monocular telescope, and his face showed disappointment.

The distance was still too far. Dozens of cannons did not hit the target in one shot, and the deviation was at least one or two hundred steps, and all the cannons were lost.

"Re-adjust the angle and extend the shooting distance." Lin Ping issued an order to the artillery team again.

The gunners of the gun crew naturally noticed the results of the previous round of artillery attacks, began to readjust the dispatch and extend the range of the muzzle.

Do all this and reload gunpowder and cannon again.

"Let it go!" Lin Ping waved the flag in his hand again and ordered each gun group to fire the four-pound cannon beside him.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Dozens of four-pound cannons fired again, and one by one flew out of the cannon chamber like a tongue of flame.

Through the monoculars in his hand, Lin Ping noticed that in this round of artillery, almost half of the dozens of cannons fell into the middle of the Mongolian armored cavalry in the distance, causing casualties to the Mongolian armored cavalry.

However, because the distance is a bit far, some cannons are wasted and their power is even worse, causing dozens of casualties to the Mongolians at most.

Such casualties did not have much threat to the Mongolian armored cavalry with more than a thousand people in the distance.

"Transfer the order and adjust the angle of the muzzle again." Lin Ping ordered.

Although this time, although there were not many casualties to the enemy in the end, it also gave him the confidence to hit the enemy again. As long as he had a few more rounds of shelling, he believed that he could still attack the Mongolian armored cavalry in the distance to escape.

The gunners adjusted the angle of the four-pound cannon again, and the Mongolian armored cavalry on the other side of the river did not stay in place in a daze.

When the shelling of the tiger flag hit them, they began to retreat further.

Lin Ping kept observing the Mongolian armored cavalry with a monocular telescope? Seeing the other party retreating? He couldn't help but curse: "His grandma's? He finally found the right position? These Tartars are really smart? They know to retreat to the distance to avoid shelling."

The messenger standing beside him heard his words? His face was speechless.

The Mongolians are not fools either? How could they stand still and act as a living target for the artillery team?

"Captain Lin, Commander Chen ordered you to stop the shelling." Another messenger came over to convey Chen Xunping's orders.

As the pre-war commander, Chen Xunping was commanded by him.

Putting away the monocular lens in his hand, Lin Ping ordered: "Stop the shelling."

With the retreat of the Mongolian Armored Cavalry? Even if he still wants to continue shelling at this time, he cannot attack the enemy and can only waste cannons and gunpowder.

Two messengers rode back to Chen Xunping on horseback and stood by.

"Teacher Commander, let my war barracks come!" Zhang Sancha asked for a fight beside Chen Xunping.

There are no Mongolian armored cavalry on the bank of the river, but it does not mean there is no enemy? The Mongolian armored cavalry just retreated further away, waiting to launch a cavalry charge against the tiger-shaped flag soldiers crossing the river.

Everyone knows this at this time? The first team crossing the river needs to resist the charge of the Mongolian cavalry, open up a position on the other side of the river to provide safety guarantees for the teams crossing the river behind.

Once the team crossing the river cannot block the charge of the Mongolian cavalry and cannot gain a foothold on the other side of the river, the team behind it cannot continue to cross the river.

The first team to cross the river is also the most dangerous team.

Chen Xunping shook his head slightly and said, "Your camp is the battle camp that was later adapted from the logistics camp. Its combat power is not as good as my camp. The team that crossed the river must be the elite among the elite."

Zhang Sancha's request to fight was rejected.

"Go and tell Sun Chuang that he is ready to cross the river at any time, and tell him that as long as he can gain a foothold on the other side of the river and ensure that other teams cross the river, I will remember his first contribution in this battle." Chen Xunping said to a messenger beside him.

The commissar ran to pass the commissar.

Sun Chuang was the commander of Chen Xunping after he became the commander of the First Battle Soldier Division. Now the official banner of the First Battle Soldier Division is the First Battle Soldier Division.

Zhang Sancha showed disappointment on his face.

However, he himself knew that there was still a gap between his war barracks and Chen Xunping's First War barracks, and the backbone of the First War barracks were all from the old camps back then.

"Order the baggage camp to start building a floating bridge. Half an hour later, I will see that the army can cross the river through the floating bridge." Chen Xunping ordered.

The messenger ran to pass the command.

As the order was conveyed, a baggage battalion of thousands of people began to rush to the river bank with wooden stakes and rafts that had been prepared.

The deepest part of this river is only waist-deep, and it is also a river bank specially selected for the army to cross the river.

The things to build bridges across the river have been ready for a long time.

Some of the baggage soldiers began to lay down wooden stakes on the river bank, and some of the baggage soldiers jumped into the river water and wefted the wooden stakes into the mud at the bottom of the river.

The river water has just been transformed, and there are still ice floating on the surface of the river.

At this time, the river water can be said to be cold and harsh. The first reaction of the baggage battalion that jumped into the water was that its body shivered.
