The sun never sets in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 298 Welcome Party
Huang Sheng learned of the place where the Xianghuang Banner was camped, and took his military attache to make a field trip.

It was found that Azig's camp was too close to the big river, and the range of the six-pound rifled field gun on the south bank could reach the Jiannu camp, and the distance was no more than three miles.
Although shooting at the maximum elevation angle is inaccurate, Wang Tianshou in such a big camp will make them cry!

The owner of the inlaid yellow flag is here, so you have to show it!The Huang family has studied the slavery system systematically, and they all know the logo of the slave flag, and now they all know that there is a little Baylor named Azig who came to Jiannu.

Huang Sheng decided to hold a grand welcome party with fireworks at night. The soldiers under his command were gearing up, especially Ma Shihu's men and horses were the happiest. After following Mr. Huang for a few days, each of them got two months' military pay, and every day they had meat. eat.

The Nekalka people were also very happy. Each of their cavalrymen actually got three taels of silver. The cattle and sheep in the tribe were sold for a good price. They were going to give them to the respected Master Huang. Take ordinary people for nothing.Be sure to pay the price.

Although Ma Shihu and Qing Getai were not able to pay their subordinates, so they had no chance of deduction, but they had no objection, because Master Huang gave each of them a reward of 300 taels of silver.

Later they found out that the officers of the Huang family didn't drink soldiers' blood, and only took what they deserved. They finally understood why the soldiers of the Huang family had a heart-to-heart relationship with the officers.

Ma Shihu and Qing Getai knew that there was a military operation at night, and they both came to request that after the artillery fire, they would take the cavalry to steal the camp and rob the village. They told Master Huang that the morale of Erlang under his command was high, and they all wanted to kill the enemy and make meritorious deeds.

It's a pity that Master Huang refused. Playing a sneak attack at night, there is a possibility of success, and the casualty rate is one life for another.

Even if the more than [-] cavalry here are not his own family troops at all, because if Ma Shihu and Qing Getai agree to build slaves at night, they will be seriously injured, and it is hard to say whether the two generals will come back alive.

It is impossible for Huang Sheng to fight a fundamentally unpredictable vicious battle on the premise of ensuring the odds of winning.

Huang Sheng analyzed several possibilities of the night attack with the two, affirmed their courage to fight, rejected their request, and let them sleep to refresh themselves.

Because the night is not to attack the enemy at all, but to have some fun for that little Azig Baylor.

Gou'er personally took advantage of the night to move the gun carriage into place silently. He had practiced proficiently for a long time. During the artillery drill on the south bank, the artillery and auxiliary soldiers often trained.

Because Huang Sheng had long planned to use the geographical conditions blocked by the big river to kill Jiannu.

Huang Donghai, also known as Gou'er, is Huang Sheng's disciple. He is hard-working and good at learning. Since he became an artillery commander, he has led his subordinates to study hard and practice hard. Together, we summed up a set of tips for training artillery.

It can be seen from this that Huang Sheng's approach is correct. Artillery should be an educated arm. The "King of War" is not an illiterate person. These young people who have studied with Huang Sheng for more than two years have lived up to expectations and become a new generation of artillery. , In the future, the Huang family's team will use artillery fire to talk to the enemy.

Gou'er's loyalty is 100%, and now he has one wife and one concubine. His first wife is matched by Zhao Rui. She is the daughter of Cheng, a master gunpowder craftsman from Wang Gong Factory. She is smart and studious. Rui's subordinates work.

Gou'er's house on Huangjiawan Island is only a few steps away from Huang's house, and the two families come and go frequently.

After half a year of training with new and old gunners, Gou'er finally got the chance to actually fight, and he was a little excited. All [-] gunners under his command came, and everyone brought a small notebook, ready to make on-site records.

Azig, who knew nothing about it, had no idea that the Ming army had artillery that could quickly move positions, let alone that such artillery could fire three miles away. He was destined to never forget this night.

This kid is unlucky and he might be shot dead, and he doesn't know who the shells are hitting. Unfortunately, only three rifled guns can hit that far, and seven smoothbore guns can't do it.

Azig is the son of wild boar skin. He has learned to rob and kill from an old slave since he was a child. After more than ten years, he has become a senior butcher.Just because he's illiterate doesn't mean he's an idiot, on the contrary he has a way of leading troops.

There is nothing wrong with choosing a highland next to the Guandao River to set up a camp. It has a wide view and is good for observation. It is relatively dry and good for the health of soldiers.

The big camp he set up was well-regulated, and he did not underestimate the enemy in the slightest because he did not find the enemy along the way. At night, there were more than a dozen groups of bright posts and secret posts and the ambush army, and they were deployed five miles away. The cavalry patrol by the river was even worse. There is an endless stream.

Azig thought the atmosphere here was weird, and he didn't slack off at all. He checked the post three times at night, thinking that the arrangement was impeccable, and he returned to the tent and slept in his clothes after the second watch.

It can be seen from this that the generals who often fight are quite cautious in terms of longevity. Unfortunately, due to the limitation of knowledge, Azig Baylor Jr. tried to break his head, but he never thought that the Ming army could hit his camp even if the Ming army fired artillery on the other side of the river.

On the fourth watch, when the human biological clock was at its most sleepy, three six-pound rifled guns roared, and three flowering bombs fell into the Jiannu camp and exploded immediately. It's a pity that the rifled guns are too slow to reload, and they can't give Jiannu maximum damage one after another.

Azig was falling into a deep sleep. In his sleep, he heard the sound of an explosion and got up, touched the saber that was always by his side and ran out of the big tent, only to see wolves running around in the camp.

At this time, he didn't know what was going on, but this kid had experienced many battles and reacted quickly. He immediately realized that he needed to form an formation under his command to prevent the enemy from stealing the camp.

He immediately raised his arms and shouted: "My sons, don't panic, you don't need to run around and follow your Niulu Ezhen."

At this time, a soldier reported: "Master Belle, it seems that the shells of the Ming army have entered the camp."

At this moment, three more shells flew into the Jiannu camp and exploded. It was only more than 100 steps away from Azig. Azig finally knew the direction of the Ming army's artillery fire, and said to his subordinates: "Go north and move a hundred steps away. Takba, you take Ben Baylor's personal soldiers to the direction where the Ming army fired artillery."

Takba is a Ba Yala, and he is also the personal army of Bashi Kuguan and his master.The rate of fire of the Ming army's artillery is relatively slow, and it is obvious that the black lights are blindly firing.

The general brandished a saber and shouted loudly. Many Jiannu who had been frightened woke up. After a short period of confusion, the formation with Niulu as the unit was lined up in two rows and five rows.

A Jiala Ezhen reported to the master: "The formation is completed, please give instructions to Lord Baylor." The slave cavalry who were sleepy and staring didn't know what to do in formation?

Lord Belle didn't answer, but just glared at this big servant, and he was ready to tell you what to do!The Ming army fired two more rounds of artillery, and Azig understood that the Ming army's artillery shells seemed to be unable to hit his position.

Takba, who went to the south of the camp to investigate soon, came back, and he reported: "Lord Belle, the Ming army's artillery is on the other side of the river. There are three guns. The slaves don't know how deep the river is, and they don't know whether the horses can wade through the river. Tiantai It was dark, so the servants did not cross the river to find out."

Azig said: "If you can't stick to it tonight, make plans tomorrow during the day. You did the right thing."
