Back to the end of Ming Dynasty to be a warlord

Chapter 212
But no one else has figured it out yet.

Yang Chao explained in detail, not because Yang Chao wanted to show off his IQ, but because he hoped to guide these officers to think more.

Yang Chao said: "Last night, it was clear that they were here to die, but the other party kept coming to snatch the corpses. There was only one purpose and that was to interfere with our rest. It's a pity that the captive soldiers were completely overwhelmed. Even if they didn't come, we couldn't rest well."

The soldiers were so excited, even if the captive soldiers didn't use this harassment strategy, Yang Chao's soldiers couldn't sleep well.

Everyone nodded, and the officers were still very embarrassed, because they didn't sleep last night, and they were still excited.

Yang Chao continued: "But it's not their harassment that's scary, do you know what to worry about?"

Everyone shook their heads.

Yang Chao inspired: "Think about why they don't want us to have a good rest?"

At this time, combined with what Yang Chao said just now, someone tentatively replied: "The captive soldiers are coming to attack?"

Yang Chao nodded: "That's right. Remember, on the battlefield, your enemy is always smarter than you think. I also thought that the other party was snatching the corpse or sending him to death. I thought that the other party would not let me rest in order to harass us. I just figured it out. The other party must want to attack today after harassing us all night, because they have no other way to attack them. If we want to attack by force, then let us be exhausted, which is naturally the best way."

The captive soldiers were old fighters, and there was not a year in Liaodong that they did not fight with the Guanning army. Not only did they fight with the Guanning army, they also went to fight the Mongols and Koreans, went hunting in the mountains and forests, and captured savages. Maybe every captive soldier is an elite in hundreds of battles, but at least their officers have extremely rich combat experience.

"Hmph, this little trick, even if I don't sleep, I can still kill him!"

Wang Pu snorted coldly, and said harshly to his companion next to him.

Li Wuliu chuckled: "Haha, the one who beat the Tartars to death is my man, right?"

Li Wuliu was originally under Wang Pu's subordinates. When Wang Pu was training, he had beaten Li Wuliu a lot.

But since Li Wuliu led the archers and finally led the blunderbussmen, he has already achieved great military exploits, and he seems to have surpassed Wang Pu in military exploits. Coupled with the past grievances between the two, bickering is a common occurrence.

But this time Wang Pu didn't argue. Everyone saw the battle yesterday, and it was all fought by Li Wuliu's men.

Wang Pu just gritted his teeth and looked into the distance. The barracks of the captive soldiers were still quiet, as if they hadn't planned to launch an attack yet.

There is only one team of rangers, still in rotation, monitoring this side at a distance of 150 steps, preventing them from cutting off the heads of their dead compatriots.

Yang Chao suddenly sighed in his heart: "You all remember that even the barbarians know to take the corpses of their dead comrades back for burial. We must do this even more. In the future, we must not abandon the corpses of Paoze on the battlefield. They must let their souls die." Back home."

After Yang Chao said this, everyone felt sorry for them. No one would want to have a dead body buried in the ground when he died.

Yang Chao suddenly thought that the Japanese of later generations seemed to have a similar habit, and brought this habit into their combat style. The two nearest Japanese troops, no matter how big or small, would immediately support their friendly troops as soon as they were attacked, even if When a team encounters a division or a brigade of the opponent, it will rush forward without hesitation. In the end, a company of the Japanese army often chases a division of the Guo army.

Because they knew that their nearby brother troops would definitely support them, the Japanese army often dared to intersperse in combat, and their attitude of infiltration and interleaving was very decisive. Therefore, tactically, the Japanese army was very tough.

Yang Chao also hopes that his army will have this decisive spirit.

So he went on to say: "My officer has established a military regulation today. All neighboring troops must rescue brother troops. Those who fail to save will be punished as escape crimes!"

Running away, Yang Chao has only one military rule, behead!
"Do you understand?"

Yang Chao shouted loudly.

"I understand!"

The soldier replied.

They still don't know that this military rule has established the birth of an army with very unique qualities. This military rule has given an army a unique military spirit.

"grown ups!"

Zhao Kang suddenly shouted.

Yang Chao looked forward, and the enemy army was dispatched.

The north and the south launched at the same time and lined up in front of the battalion.

The cavalry lined up in a tight formation, dragging a slow speed, moving forward slowly.

The horses stomped on the ground and made a dull sound.

It has to be said that large-scale military formations have a different aura, Yang Chao's infantry has it, and the captive cavalry also has it.

The opponent's cavalry pressed forward like this, and there was a faint aura of invincibility, as if the clouds were overwhelming.

150 steps, they are still moving forward.

120 steps, they are still moving forward.

"Prepare!"

Yang Chao had already asked the gunners to prepare, and the gunners also laid down the guns and started aiming. They would shoot when the opponent got within a hundred steps.

But the opponent stopped suddenly, stopped a hundred steps away, and found out the shooting range of Yang Chao's army's bird guns, knowing that at this distance, they would not be threatened by the bird guns.

Then from both sides of the cavalry, groups of infantry suddenly shot out, captive infantry.

These infantrymen came out directly from the barracks, but they did not come out empty-handed, and what they brought was not weapons, but a vehicle.

A plank of wood stood upright on the front of the car.

"Is this Donglu's shield chariot?"

In the Northeast, after the Jurchens rebelled, they invented this kind of shield cart shortly after. In fact, a thick board was added in front of the wheelbarrow and cart. A one-inch-thick board of white birch in the forests of the Northeast is enough to resist the Ming army. The bow and arrow shot.

"It really is going to attack!"

Seeing the shield chariot, Yang Chao was sure immediately that the opponent was going to attack by force.

But he couldn't help frowning.

The captive soldiers didn't have any shield vehicles yesterday, obviously these were all built yesterday, or even last night.

This kind of thing is very convenient to make, and only a few carpenters are needed, and even the nine-story tree that has just been cut down can be made.

There is no doubt that the opponent wants to attack by force, but they built the shield car overnight and came to attack today. Is this to compete with their soldiers in endurance and will?

Yang Chao couldn't help feeling puzzled.

But the captive soldiers had no doubts, the shield chariot was in front, and slowly advanced.

A Yu Ding pushed the shield cart, followed by two leather armored soldiers, slowly approaching the warehouse.

However, the cavalry in the formation behind all got off their horses one by one, not because they wanted to form an infantry formation, but to let the horses rest.

Based on the analysis of the situation, Yang Chao decided that the captive soldiers must be infantry rushing over. After fighting with his side, the cavalry would charge.

The captive soldiers had a very good idea. In their view, as long as they fought close to each other, the Ming army would not be able to take advantage of the blunderbuss, so they could take down this simple warehouse area in one go.

Why did the captive soldiers have to attack this warehouse?
Yang Chao decided that the other party must not accept the death of so many people. According to the battle report, the Donglu invaders this time, even the previous invaders, rarely attacked the fortified city guarded by the Ming army.

Their purpose was only to plunder, but on this pier, nearly a hundred people were killed or injured, which may be unacceptable to the captive soldiers. The attack on the warehouse is purely to vent their anger, so as long as they break through here, they will definitely kill everyone here Kill them all, Yang Chao's soldiers and those common people will definitely be massacred.

But Yang Chao would not give them this chance.

What a joke, it's the age of globalization, and you want to hit the firearms with a broken shield car.

If the captive soldiers were willing to risk the entire army being annihilated, and all the soldiers rode over violently, Yang Chao believed that they would definitely be able to meet him hand-to-hand.

But with just a few broken shield vehicles, it would be too whimsical to safely rush to the front of your own formation.

"Bring me up the cannon!"

These treasures are all in the warehouse. Yesterday, Yang Chao was intentionally useless. In fact, his intentions were very sinister. He wanted to lure the captive soldiers to attack him, and then he used fortifications to kill and injure the enemy for training. But after guessing that the captive soldiers were going to attack by force, Yang Chao let When the person prepares and the opponent comes to attack, he must defend with all his strength, and if he keeps another move, he will die.

Now, after seeing the soldiers rolling out this crude wooden cart this time, Yang Chao knew it was time for his cannons to come out.

You don't need a big cannon, just a small tiger crouching cannon is enough.

Xiaohu only weighs [-] catties when squatting on a cannon, and the weight of lead bullets is five yuan.

There are a total of twenty such cannons, exactly ten on each side.

Behind the salt wall, a pile of salt bags was piled up, and finally the cannon was erected flat and fixed with ropes.

At the same time, the five generals' cannons were directed to the north, and the four Qianjin Frang machines were directed to the south, facing the army formation of the captive soldiers at the same time.

The shield chariot approached slowly, from one hundred paces to eighty paces.

Yang Chao tried to shoot a round of bird guns, and the result was that he couldn't break through the thick wooden shield except for some sawdust flying away.

Fortunately, Yang Chao kept the gunner from firing.

This result gave the captive soldiers hope, and the pace of advancement immediately accelerated a little.

Soon forty paces.

Seeing that Yang Chao fired another round of guns, he still couldn't break the shield chariot, let alone the bow and arrow.

The captive soldiers are more confident.

Their cavalry had already started to mount their horses, and it was obvious that they would charge as soon as the shield chariot approached the low wall.

The shield chariot was twenty steps away from the warehouse, and the captive cavalry finally started to move forward, advancing slowly while pressing down on the horses.

But their cavalry was divided into two waves, and each wave of cavalry was arranged in a tight formation, man against man, horse against horse, and divided into three rows.

Behind the cavalry, there is still a group of captive soldiers who have not moved, and they are all wearing thick armor. The enemy thundered.

"My lord, it's ten steps away, do you want to fire the cannon?"

The gunner from Huai'an reminded Yang Chao in a low voice.

The shield chariot has already approached ten steps, and the cavalry has also entered the distance of eighty steps.

Yang Chao shook his head: "Wait a minute, when the time comes, hit them on the forehead. The bird guns on top hit the cavalry behind!"

Yang Chao ordered.

At this time, the captive cavalry had just entered eighty steps, and the gunners on the roof began to shoot after hearing the order. Some captive soldiers fell off their horses in twos and threes, or their horses were wounded and killed, but they still moved forward firmly, with a strong attacking attitude. Very firm.
