Chapter 501 Main Attack
"Si Baile, why are the Ming army's firearms so powerful? Our troops suffered heavy casualties."

Oba Hongtaiji of Horqin and Setertaiji of Bahrain led a group of cronies and walked up to Huang Taiji with miserable expressions on their faces.

Originally thinking it was just a test, they sent two groups of soldiers, totaling 6000 people, to attack the Ming army from three directions.

However, under the attack of the Ming army's firearms, only 5000 people came back, which was a huge loss.

No one can afford such high battle losses.

Not to mention that the two tribes are already weak. If they continue to be exhausted like this, sooner or later there will be trouble.Think of this.They immediately didn't want to fight.

"Sibeile, why don't we leave? We are all cavalry. If we leave now, the Ming army cannot catch up with us. Let's go back and take away the cattle, sheep, men and horses of Ongjit's tribe. This will also make money."

Seter Taiji from the Bahrain Department hesitated for a moment, and then said what he was thinking.

After finally plundering the property, if you die here, you will lose your life.

Huang Taiji had no expression on his face when he heard this. The Mongolians naturally knew what they were thinking.But can we leave now? He shook his head in protest.

I really made a miscalculation this time.Although he knew that the Ming Army’s Jingying was somewhat powerful, he never expected that the Ming’s Jingying would be so powerful and its firearms so sharp.

This is just a partial army, it seems to have less than 1 people.

As far as he knew, in addition to the 1 people who went to the capital camp in Liaodong, there were 3 people in Guangning.

If they are allowed to gather their forces, they will all be pressed against the Liaoshen front line by then.With so many well-equipped soldiers and a large number of artillery, he could not even imagine the consequences.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but despair.

But he is a perseverant person, now that he understands the strength of the Ming army in Beijing and the consequences after the merger.

Then he would never let go of this opportunity to annihilate the partial divisions of the Beijing camp.

At the same time, he also saw that although the Ming army was equipped with many firearms, this was both an advantage and a disadvantage.Although the equipped firearms are powerful from a distance, they can easily break through the Ming army's formation once they are up close.

"How to withdraw now? Alzhai has escaped, and the Ming army's beacon fire has also started. Xiong Tingbi has probably received the warning and is dispatching troops to check the situation. If we leave now, do you think this Ming army will easily go there? If we leave, if we are entangled by it, when the Ming army arrives, we may not be able to leave."

Seeing Huang Taiji say this, Seter Taiji was speechless for a moment and didn't know what to say.

Huang Taiji knew that he still needed to use these Mongolians. Seeing him like this, his tone softened and he said seriously:
"So no matter what, whether it is for further plunder in the future or for retreat, this Ming army must be eliminated. Now we have figured out the Ming army's tactics. All we need to do is rush into their formation at close range. This is I, the Daijin Warriors, are good at this kind of tactics. I will organize the attack later. I am the main force with the white flag. How about you as the assists?"

Huangtai's auspicious words are all here, and everyone can't say anything more.

Oba Hongtaiji also knew the importance of this battle. Seeing that Huang Taiji was also spending a lot of money, he also stamped his foot and said fiercely:
"Okay, since Si Baylor is willing to attack as the main attack, then I'll give it another try."

Upon seeing this, Huang Taiji secretly breathed a sigh of relief. The military situation was urgent and he could not allow him to think too much. He must go all out next.

"Shuo Dai!"

"The slave is here!"

Upon hearing this, Shuo Dai immediately stepped out of the queue and cupped his hands in front of Huang Taiji. "In this battle, you will lead three thousand Zhengbai Banner elites to attack the west side of the Ming Army. The carriages in front of the Ming Army's formation block the cavalry, and there are spearmen as cover for the cannon soldiers. Therefore, it is difficult for the cavalry to charge and approach. Wait and wait. He dismounted at a close distance and advanced under the cover of shields and bows and arrows.”

When Huang Taiji saw this, he repeatedly gave Shuo Dai instructions on combat matters. He was very confident in the combat effectiveness of his soldiers.

It's just that the weapons of the Ming Dynasty are very powerful, so I'm afraid it will be difficult to get close.Thinking of this, he couldn't help but continue to give instructions:
"Remember, this Ming army is different from the past. The firepower can be continuous. Therefore, as long as you dismount, you cannot stay or retreat for a moment, otherwise you will be hit by the Ming army's firearms. You can only rush forward, and you can only rush to They only have a glimmer of hope in front of the battle."

As Huang Taiji said this, he thought of an object, which would definitely be very useful if placed here.

That was the shield cart invented by his father Khan. As long as this thing was pushed as a cover, the power of the Ming army's weapons would be greatly offset.They will also easily reach the Ming army's formation. They have used this method to defeat the Ming army in the past, and they have tried and failed.

It’s just that this kind of thing is very bulky and can only be made locally.The situation is urgent now, and they are all cavalry. It can be said that they have neither time nor ability to make shield vehicles, so they can only charge desperately.

"Please rest assured, Mr. Beile, I will risk my life to rush into the Ming army's formation and clear the way for the army behind me."

After listening to Shuo Dai's words, Huang Taiji was very moved. He walked up to him, patted his shoulder heavily and said loudly:

"As expected of my true man, go ahead, I'm waiting for your good news."

Time was not waiting for me. Shuo Dai was speechless after hearing this. He bowed to Huang Taiji again and then mounted his horse and left.

Upon seeing this, Oba Hongtaiji of Horqin and Setertaiji of Bahrain also bowed to Shuodai, and then mounted their horses to regroup and prepare to attack again.

The brief discussion with the Jianlu army on the opposite side also gave the formation of Yaowu's soldiers a chance to take a short rest.

After Zhao Lijiao and Sun Yingyuan saw that they had repelled the first wave of attacks, they couldn't help but feel reassured.

"The segmented shooting method is so powerful that the Mongols can't even get close for a moment. Now it's good to win. As long as you win once, the morale of the soldiers will also improve."

Sun Yingyuan immediately breathed a sigh of relief. The previous training from Beijing Camp was indeed effective.

Although the soldiers present were all new soldiers, fighting for the first time, they were under the command of the generals in an orderly manner without panic.

"Most of these Mongolians are members of their tribes. They are herdsmen in peacetime, but in wartime they carry knives and mount their horses to plunder. Therefore, they are not equipped with armor, so being hit by bird cannons is fatal. But those Jianlu captives are different."

Listening to Sun Yingyuan's words, Zhao Shujiao also nodded.

But at this moment, Jianlu's soldiers and horses in the distance moved again.When the two saw this, they immediately understood that their second wave of attack was about to begin.

This made their joy of repelling Mongolia disappear in an instant.They knew that the Mongolian attack just now was just an appetizer, and the next Jianlu attack was the real meal.

"How long has it been since the messenger asking for help has been gone?"

Seeing Zhao Zhijiao asking, Cao Bianjiao on the side thought about it and said slowly:

"Almost an hour!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Shujiao was filled with worry.He didn't know whether Liaodong Dusi could react in such a short period of time and send troops to support in time.
