Daming Crazy Emperor

Chapter 112 Man Gui
Amin really didn't expect that they would find a Ming army stationed on the opposite bank of the middle reaches of the Daling River, and they were equipped with strong bows.

He had deliberately avoided the original position of Guangning's center left back, which was Dalinghe Fort, for fear that the Ming army on the opposite side would prevent him from building a pontoon bridge.

Unexpectedly, there were also people here.

From the looks of it, there should be guard posts of the Ming army all over the river, and it would be the same if he changed places.

How to do it?

He was sitting in the big tent meditating, when suddenly there was a dense sound of horseshoes outside.

The scouts didn't warn, it must be Qierharang who came back.

He went to the big tent to have a look, and sure enough, Zierharang, who was full of frustration, had returned with his subordinates in a dejected manner.

No need to ask, this guy must have gotten nothing.

He went up to meet him and said lightly: "Why, is there nothing?"

Zierhalang nodded helplessly and said: "Yes, I searched several villages and didn't even see a single person, nor a boat."

Trouble, this Sun Chengzong can actually play the game of hard wall and clear field!

Hearing this, Amin couldn't help frowning and thinking.

It is not necessary to use a boat to increase buoyancy to build a pontoon bridge. It is the same to put more sheepskin and cowskin rafts below. They brought a lot of sewn sheepskin and cowskin rafts.

The reason why he wanted to find a boat was that the buoyancy of the sheepskin and cowskin rafts was not as strong as that of the boat, and the pontoon bridge padded with sheepskin and cowskin rafts could not accommodate too many people and horses at one time.

Moreover, sheepskin rafts and cowhide rafts are prone to air leakage, and it takes about half a day to check and replace them one by one, which is very troublesome.

The problem, now he doesn't even have the chance to use sheepskin rafts and cowhide rafts to build a pontoon bridge. There are a bunch of archers from the Ming army on the opposite side, and what's more, they still use longbows.

They are good at riding and shooting, so they naturally have bows and arrows, but they basically use short bows for riding and shooting, and the shooting range is incomparable with others.

People can shoot across the river, but their short bows need to be shot straight to the other side of the river.

How to do it?

He certainly couldn't wait for the main force to arrive before building the pontoon bridge. They were desperately building the Daling River Fort.

The longer they delay, the higher the city wall they built will be. If they rush over after they finish repairing the city wall, they will be in big trouble. He can't delay the battle opportunity!

Amin frowned and pondered for a while, then said decisively: "Chahala, cut wood and make a tower shield with a hundred sides and a thickness of three inches."

Three inches thick, about the thickness of an arm's log, so thick that ordinary bows and arrows would not be able to pierce it, and he couldn't make it too thick, because the tower shield was as tall as a man, and it was too thick for one person to carry.

A tree as thick as an arm is easy to cut down, and even a big tree has such thick branches, so this tower shield is not difficult to make. In less than a day, Chahala led people to make a hundred tower shields. up.

Early the next morning, Amin led hundreds of people and carried the tower shield up to the embankment.

Naturally, no one could be seen on the opposite side at this moment, because the Ming army on the opposite side had been hiding in the grass on the back of the river embankment without showing their heads.

However, he still pointed to the edge of the river under the embankment and said loudly: "Tree Tower Shield."

"drink!"

A hundred strong men immediately rushed down the river embankment carrying tower shields, and erected a shield wall on the edge of the river.

Daishan then ordered: "Archers, line up behind the tower shields."

"Scum!"

A hundred archers rushed behind the tower shield and lined up in a straight line.

Dai Shan waved his hand again and said, "Drag the body to the back of the embankment and bury it, and start nailing wooden stakes."

At this time, there were no longer the dozens of people on the other side of the river. There were thousands of longbowmen neatly lined up under the embankment!
Man Gui lay in the grass and watched for a while, a sneer of disdain appeared on his face.

Tower shield, is it useful?

He ordered without hesitation: "Prepare the rocket."

The thousands of archers below immediately pulled out the rockets with tarpaulins from the quiver, and waited with their bows.

Immediately afterwards, ten of them lit torches together with Mr. Qian, and quickly passed through the middle of the phalanx, igniting all the rockets.

Seeing this, Man Gui ordered without hesitation: "Draw the bow and let the arrows go!"

"Swish, whoosh, whoosh", a densely packed rocket suddenly covered the opposite bank like a cloud of fire.

Damn damn it!
Seeing this, Amin couldn't help shouting: "Quick, withdraw!"

Everyone below the embankment quickly hid behind the tower shield and retreated quickly.

"Puff puff puff", there was a muffled sound, and the tower shield was immediately filled with rockets.

Seeing this, Amin couldn't help turning pale with anger.

He really didn't expect that the Ming army on the other side was so well prepared.

He can't build this pontoon bridge at all!
He stared at the opposite bank coldly, frowning and thinking.

With a sound of "嗖", a sharp arrow was suddenly shot from the opposite side, and shot straight at his face.

It turned out that Man Gui was eager for skills, took out his two-stone strong bow and jumped onto the river bank, and shot A Min.

Amin snorted coldly, tilted his head, dodged the sharp arrow, and then stared coldly at the strong figure opposite, with eyes that seemed to eat people up.

Do you think your grandfather and I will be afraid of you gang slaves?
Man Gui also stood there not to be outdone, staring at Amin.

Well, you have the guts, when I cross the river, I must chop you up and feed the fish!

Amin snorted coldly again, then waved his hand and said, "Let's go back to the camp first."

The Ming army on the opposite side is really annoying. They have specially prepared strong bows and waited for them. What should we do?

Amin sat in the handsome tent, frowned and pondered for a long time, and then said to Qierharang beside him: "Old man, take 100 people back along the road quickly, explain the situation here to Father Khan, and at the same time take a Thousands of longbows used by pawns, preferably one stone."

I had no choice but to go back to get the longbow, otherwise, I would not be able to shoot the Ming army on the opposite side.

Fortunately, here is only more than 500 miles away from Shenyang, and the main force has been away for more than ten days. According to the normal marching speed, the main force is estimated to be only more than 100 miles away from here.

In other words, Zierharang is likely to be able to make a round trip in less than a day.

Sure enough, in the evening of that day, Qierhalang came back with a thousand strong bows made of one stone.

Early the next morning, Daishan led a thousand of his men to the open space under the embankment.

He smiled sinisterly, then waved his hand and said, "Arrange ten rows of square formations, ready to shoot."

With a strong bow of a stone, it is not a problem to throw it a hundred steps away. The Ming army on the opposite side is probably still in the shade behind the river embankment.

The so-called soldiers never tire of deceit, you have lied to me twice, and I have lied to you once.

Soon, a thousand archers lined up in a neat formation, stretched out their longbows, and got ready.

Amin waved without hesitation: "Shoot!"

"Swish, whoosh, whoosh", a thousand sharp arrows suddenly covered the opposite bank like a dark cloud.

Man Gui was laying on the grass waiting for Jianu to continue nailing the stakes, but he didn't expect a rain of arrows to come from the opposite side!

He hurriedly shouted: "Quick, shield array."

At this time, there were not more than a thousand people under the embankment behind him, but more than ten thousand people!
Five thousand archers, five thousand saber shields, all the men and horses under his command who were going to block him had arrived, and they were lined up neatly waiting for orders.

As soon as he gave an order of five thousand swords, the shield hand immediately stacked the shield in his left hand, forming a row of shield walls higher than people.

There was a sound of "aggressiveness", and all the thousand sharp arrows were blocked by the iron shield.

The range of Jiannu's bow and arrow on the opposite side was more than ten steps farther than theirs, so it must be a strong bow with one stone.

A stone is a strong bow, and it is good for ordinary soldiers to draw an arrow and shoot an arrow. After shooting, they must rest for a while.

Man Gui is a battle-tested veteran. He just took a look at the approximate location of the projectile and the approximate location of the arrow. He understood that the opponent must be using a strong bow with a stone. The archer must rest after shooting. !

He ordered without hesitation: "Advance the shield wall, go up the river embankment, and the archers follow."

"Wow", a row of shield walls rushed up the embankment, and behind them were densely packed archers.

Man Gui then ordered: "The archers line up in two rows, ready to shoot."

Immediately, the five thousand archers lined up densely in two rows, and at the same time bent their bows and set up their arrows, pointing obliquely ahead.

Man Gui glanced quickly, and then ordered decisively: "Let go!"

How does it feel when five thousand sharp arrows fall?
It was like a dark cloud covering it!

Seeing this, Amin quickly yelled: "Quick, back up, back up."

"Swish, whoosh, whoosh", arrows shrouded like dark clouds.

"Puff puff puff puff puff puff puff puff puff puff puff puff puff puff puff", the place where they were just standing was filled with arrows, and many soldiers who did not have time to retreat were shot into hedgehogs, firmly nailed to the ground, and there were screams in the field.

These people barely opened a strong stone bow and shot an arrow. They were panting, but who would have thought that the opposite side would immediately return a rain of arrows.

A Min looked at his subordinates who fell to the ground and howled, his face was as black as charcoal.

This time he was careless, he really did not expect that the Ming army, which was originally a mess like a mob, would suddenly become so powerful!

In fact, he was wrong. It wasn't that the Ming army suddenly became more powerful, but that the generals of the Ming army became more powerful.

The so-called soldiers are in a mess, and the generals are in a nest. The original Ming army generals are a bit messy, and the soldiers brought out are also messy.

At this moment, the opponent is the battle-tested fierce general Man Gui, it's no wonder they can take advantage of it!
