Everyone turned around and saw that the Songshan Army was forming a formation along the perimeter of the vehicle formation. They placed the cavalry behind the vehicle formation, but several hundred infantry were placed in front.
Seen from a distance, the several hundred infantrymen were divided into two groups, one group guarding the center, and the other group scattered in the front, left, and right directions.
It was far away and I couldn't see clearly, but I could vaguely see that the Songshan Army soldier on the side seemed to have a very long wooden stick in his hand.
Stick?[
For a moment, the generals of the Liaodong Army, including Zu Dashou, were puzzled. The Tatar cavalry was about to rush forward. What was the Songshan Army doing standing there blankly instead of loading the muskets and preparing to launch them?
………
When the Eight Banners cavalry rushed over on the slope, Shi Dayong knew that the other party was coming for him, because there are no fools in this world - only fools would lead hundreds of cavalry to attack a heavily guarded city. This behavior is similar to
There is no difference at all between hitting an egg against a stone.
Shi Dayong believed that General Houjin, who could command hundreds of cavalry, was definitely not a fool, so he quickly made a decision - if you want to fight, I will fight!
Escape is something you don't have the balls to do. I'm a man, and if I die, I'll die vigorously!
"Listen damn well, the Tatars are coming for us. If you want to live, just obey my orders! If you don't want to live, I will kill him now!"
"The Yongzi camp holds the blunderbuss in the center, and the three teams of the Wuzi camp are arranged in three directions: front, left, and right. All long sticks are placed on the ground. No one can raise them without my order. Anyone who raises the stick before being ordered will use a small flag.
Kill! Anyone who rebels against one banner will be killed! Anyone who rebels against a group will be killed by the commander of the battalion!"
"The cavalry battalion goes behind the vehicle formation and acts according to my signal!"
Shi Dayong was extremely nervous even after issuing three orders in one breath. This was his first time contacting war. If he said he wasn't scared or nervous, that would be a big deal.
At the same time, Shi Dayong also had a sense of luck, because not all the Eight Banners cavalry on the slope came over, but were divided into two groups. The number of the attacking group of cavalry in front of him was about 400, which undoubtedly reduced the pressure on his own side.
As long as this group of Eight Banners cavalry can be withstood, the Jin army's offensive will be greatly weakened. Even if all the Eight Banners on the slope are killed, it can only confirm the tactics of adding fuel to the fire, and it will not achieve the goal of overwhelming the entire army in one go.
Effect.
Therefore, as long as the first round of attack is sustained, the second round can be completely withstood. As long as the general Houjin who leads the army understands that the Songshan Army is a tough nut to crack, the battle will be considered won and the fate will be considered alive.
!
Perhaps God knew that it would not be easy for me to travel through time, so he gave me a chance to breathe. Shi Dayong thought as he looked at the hundreds of Houjin cavalry rushing toward him in darkness.
………
Months of training came into play at this moment. Under the command of Chief Qian Huang An, the Wu Ziying quickly protected the surroundings of the Yongzi Camp.
Ma Zhong, Guo Er, and Shi Hai all experienced the "Jisi Incident" with Shi Dayong and fought against the Eight Banners soldiers. They knew how powerful the Eight Banners soldiers were, so they were all extremely wary of each other, while protecting their subordinates.
Cheer up, while staring closely at the Eight Banners Cavalry that is getting closer and closer in the distance.
Under the command of Qian Commander Shao Wu, the Yongzi Battalion quickly lined up and quickly loaded gunpowder. The three commanders, Zhao Kegang, Lu Jiang, and Wang Zhengqi, repeated the same order over and over again, lest the soldiers panic and pretend to be afraid.
Wrong dose or early launch.
The cavalry battalion behind the car formation was also restless, and the hooves of the war horses scratched the ground from time to time.
Jiang Wanli and other officers' hearts were now in their throats. They didn't understand why the garrison master wanted to put them behind, while the 2nd Battalion used force and courage to resist the charge of the Tatar cavalry.[
According to Jiang Wanli's idea, at this time he should be allowed to lead the cavalry battalion to face the Tatars and resist, disrupting their charging formation, so as to reduce the pressure on the infantry. But now Shi Dayong ordered them to go to the back, and
Letting the infantry directly bear the offensive of the Tatar charge is obviously a gamble, a desperate gamble!
Although everyone understands the principles of the Changmu Guard Method, they have never experienced it in actual combat. No one is sure whether it will be a surprise victory.
Shi Dayong put all the chances of survival of the Songshan Army on those 100 long logs. This was indeed a gamble, a huge gamble with thousands of lives.
No one knows what the cards are until they are revealed.
Similarly, now, no one knows whether Shi Dayong's method is effective.
The sound of horse hoofbeats was getting closer and closer, and the faces of the Tatar soldiers with wide grins and yellow teeth became clearer and clearer. Everyone subconsciously took a deep breath, and the air was filled with uneasiness and tension.
When it was clear that the charging Eight Banners soldiers began to draw their swords, suddenly, everyone heard a roar like a bell:
"If you want to survive, you have to fight!"
……………
Just when everyone thought that the Hou Jin Army was about to overwhelm the Songshan Army, suddenly, the horns of the Jin soldiers sounded. The charging Hou Jin soldiers immediately slowed down their horses when they heard the horn sound. Slowly, slowly
It slowly stopped. It was only one mile away from the Songshan Army.
It was Gurbush who ordered the horn to be blown, because he found that the Ming army on the opposite side did not flee like the Ming troops he had seen before, but instead lined up neatly and solemnly.
The cotton armor worn by those Ming soldiers made Gurbusch even more confused: Could it be that these Ming soldiers were the elite of the Liaodong soldiers? Otherwise, why would everyone have armor?
Or is this a trap?
The abnormal behavior of the Ming army made Gulbusch hesitate. He did not dare to rush forward with his troops rashly. He frequently looked back at the slope. On the slope, there was no signal coming from Tulai.
To fight or not to fight?
Gulbusch's brows furrowed again and again. The abnormal behavior of the Ming army made him change his idea of winning the victory in one fell swoop and showing the bravery of the Mongols. He was very afraid that the Ming army opposite was a tough one. In that case, his troops
There will be heavy casualties.
Without his followers, his Niulu will be deprived immediately. Today's Khan is not as benevolent and righteous as the old Khan. Gulbus believes that even if his Niulu is only reduced by one-third, the Khan of Shenyang City will
He would not hesitate to divide his Niulu among his brothers, nephews and nephews.
"Old Taiji, what are we waiting for!"
Bayan, the most valiant warrior among his tribe, couldn't wait any longer. He was really jealous of the armor of the Ming army on the opposite side, but what attracted him the most was the war horses behind the formation.
Bayan, who grew up in the grasslands, could tell at a glance that the war horses ridden by the Ming army were produced in the Mongolian grasslands. If he could capture these Ming army horses, his tribe would become stronger.
Lao Taiji's sudden stagnation confused the tribesmen and made the warriors angry.
Bayan waved his sword almost politely and roared at Gulbus: "General Tulai is looking at us, Old Taiji, do you really want him to think that we have no warriors on the grassland!" [
This reckless bastard, do you still have eyes for me, the leader of the clan? Is the soup the Manchus feed you really so magical?
Gulbusch glanced at Bayan coldly. He didn't want to say anything to this idiot who had no brain at all. He stared at the opposite party quietly. He wanted to observe the other party carefully and judge whether the other party's actions were real.
The bones are still bluffing.
Lao Taiji's disregard made Bayan embarrassed. In front of hundreds of tribesmen, he could not accept Gulbusch's contempt for him. You must know that he is the "No. 1 Warrior of Mongolia" praised by Big Beile himself.
, what a compliment!
Warriors should not hesitate at all; warriors are destined to move forward bravely!
"Shout!"
Bayan suddenly raised his whip and whipped his horse fiercely, and without looking back, he rushed towards the Ming army's defense line on the opposite side. His trusted subordinates followed without hesitation. When the other Mongolian soldiers saw this, they rushed to the opposite side.
Before they understood what was going on, they all rushed forward.
"Come back, Bayan!"
Gulbus was shocked, but it was too late.
Hundreds of Mongolian cavalry were stabbing forward like sharp arrows.
