Borrow the day to change the day

After discovering this Achilles' heel of the Ming army, Jierhalang immediately ordered Mingjin to withdraw his troops.He wants to adjust his strategy and relaunch the offensive.

Jianlu on the front line quickly retreated when he heard the sound of gold ringing from behind.

Jierhalang called a few Niulu over to ask, and it turned out that countless irregular small pits were dug on the ground, and the horse's legs were broken, which made people fall on their backs and the offensive was frustrated.

Now that it is known that the Ming army did use this trick, Jierhalang has a corresponding solution.

Based on these Niu Lu's impressions, he sent scout horses again to the battlefield to find out where the starting point of the small pit was.

Ji Erhalang planned to let the soldiers ride horses to the starting point of the small pit first, and then dismount and fight on foot.In this way, the Ming army's trap will lose its effect.At the same time, the Dajin Army can shorten the charging distance with the help of horse power.

When Jianlu explored forward, he found that the Ming army also came out from behind the wall and attacked forward.

Although there were few Jianlu scouts, they were all elites. They all drew out their bows and arrows to fight back.

Because of the darkness, both sides can only find each other when they are relatively close.Moreover, the Ming army used firearms, and every time they fired a shot, there would be a flash of fire.

Therefore, Jianlu Tanma was given a more accurate target, but at the same time, Jianlu Tanma could only shoot arrows at the Ming army as expected, and could not accurately hit the fatal part of the Ming army.

The Ming army is overbearing with weapons, as long as it hits a Jianlu Tanma, it will definitely lose its combat effectiveness; and Jianlu Tanma shoots a Ming army, because of the night, it is often not a vital point, and they can continue to fight.

It didn't take long for the situation on the front line to reach Jierhalang.He was overjoyed when he heard that, Ming Jun's brain is sick, he even left the wall, and even attacked on his own initiative.

So, with a big wave of his hand, he immediately dispatched five hundred archers to shoot at the Ming army.

Jierhalang believes that the Ming army only has more than 1000 people, and the Ming army can be exhausted just by fighting.

But when the archers went up, the Ming army had already retreated, and the archers rushed up to nothing.

One of the leaders, Jialaerzhen, sent someone back to report to Jierhalang that the corpses of the Dajin warriors in front of the Ming army's position, and even the corpses of the horses, were gone.And ask whether to continue the attack.

Jierhalang's face darkened, and he understood why the Ming army tried to increase casualties and left the wall to attack.

One of them was to clean up those corpses, so that the corpses would not become a cover for subsequent Dajin attacks.

The second thing is that the wall of the Ming army can be repaired so quickly. Jierhalang is sure that there must be the remains of the Dajin warrior inside the wall.

Thinking of this, Jierharang gritted his teeth angrily.He has also figured out the starting point of the horse trap, and started to attack according to the plan.

More than 1000 Jianlu carried shields and rushed to the Ming army's position on horseback.Then when he had reached almost the same distance, he quickly got off his horse, protected his body with a shield, and began to charge on foot.

For a while, the slightly narrow official road and both sides were covered with Jianlu's shadow.The shield soldiers charged in front, while the Jianlu archers behind them lobbed for cover.

Zhong Jinwei clearly saw the scale and method of Jianlu's attack through the binoculars, and he quickly sent an order: "Let the reserve team come together, and everyone will hit me hard."

It turned out that Zhong Jinwei had already seen the previous Jianlu offensive through a telescope, and it was more of a tentative attack.So he divided the new army soldiers into two teams, without revealing their full strength at once.

Jierhalang's guess was right, the night still affected the speed at which the new soldiers loaded ammunition.But the extent of this influence was not as great as Jierharan imagined.

Because the new army uses pre-wrapped paper bombs, which is much faster than the previous loading method.Whether they are old soldiers or new soldiers in the new army, they all have enough training to be proficient in this loading method.To put it an exaggeration, ammunition can be loaded even with eyes closed.

And Jierhalang heard the sparse shooting of the new army before, just because it was not the sound of more than 1000 new army shooting, there were more than [-] new army soldiers who were still behind the formation and took the time to eat and rest .

But now that Jianlu's offensive is fierce, Zhong Jinwei has no reserve team.

All of a sudden, gunshots rang out, much louder than before.

Jianlu's shield is more or less useful when it is far away, and it can block the lead bullets at the end of the crossbow.In addition, the archers' counterattacks also caused casualties to the new army from time to time.

However, because the new army was hiding behind the protective wall and covered by the night, the Jianlu archers were not accurate, but scattered more.The helmets of the new army are all steel helmets, as long as they are not heavy arrows, they will generally be fine.

Only a few unlucky new army soldiers were shot in the face by arrows that happened to fly, which increased the number of new army deaths.

After Jianlu rushed close, casualties began to appear on a large scale.Because at this time, the power of lead bullets is no longer something a shield can resist.

Although the battle line is relatively wide, more than 1000 Ming troops can only line up in two rows and take turns shooting.But Jianlu's speed can't be fast.

One is because the pits on the ground affect them to some extent, and even a careless person can twist their feet.

The second is that the Jianlu in the front rows were shot and fell to the ground, which added obstacles to the Jianlu behind.

Therefore, Jianlu's unpleasant speed made up for the weakening of the shooting frequency of the new army. Every time a flintlock shot, a Jianlu lost his combat effectiveness, either returning to the underworld, or lying on the ground screaming.

The battle situation on the front line was soon reported to Jierhalang, and his original hope of easily solving the Ming army was shattered again.

He didn't understand why the gunfire was sparse before, but now it suddenly became dense again.Could it be that the follow-up troops of the Ming army have arrived again?

What kind of situation is, because of the night, it is impossible to check carefully, which makes Jierhalang feel that he is better at fighting during the day.

He listened carefully for a while, and found that the intensity of the Ming army's gunfire had almost stopped increasing, and he knew that there should not be many reinforcements from the Ming army.

However, Dajin couldn't rush to the Ming army's position with his shield, Jierhalang sighed secretly, and ordered Mingjin to withdraw his troops.

Then he ordered his men to go to Anshan Station immediately to transport the ordnance to restrain the muskets. Since the Ming army could not be taken down directly, they should fight a serious battle.

One of his subordinates advised him: "Master, why don't you wait until dawn?"

Fighting again at dawn, for Daikin who has the advantage in numbers, there will be a lot of advantages to take advantage of.Because you can see the specific situation of the Ming army, coupled with enough manpower, you can deal with the Ming army in a targeted manner.

Unexpectedly, Jierhalang disagreed, he shook his head and said: "Since the Ming army used such a small force to run so far to stop my Dajin's reinforcements, obviously there must be something wrong behind them, and they are afraid of our Dajin's reinforcements." Attack it, otherwise why would they give up the defense of Haizhou city and take the risk to block it here?"

When his subordinates heard this, they all nodded and said "yes", the master is still wise.

Because of the change in Jierhalang's strategy, the battlefield fell into silence for a while.
