The sun never sets in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 566 Waiting to Fight
A Ming army position where needles could be heard, and a well-hidden cave for Tibetan soldiers.

General Banner Officer Guo Sanxi carefully inspected his beloved double-barreled short blunderbuss under the light. He is the younger brother of Guo Hexi, the first martyr to climb the city wall of Quang Ninh.

The tall and mighty Guo Sanxi was originally an outstanding swordsman and shield fighter in the Ningyuan Ming Army. He became a private soldier of the Huang family and made great achievements in the north and south in the past few years.

Every few tens of steps in the trenches built by the Ming army, there will be caves for Tibetan soldiers built with logs on the top, and straw bales filled with soil will be built on top of them. The light of several caves will be covered with thick canvas curtains, allowing soldiers to take turns to rest inside.

The lighting inside is not candles or oil lamps made of grass, nor ordinary high-fire oil lamps, but horse lamps, which are portable and weatherproof high-fire oil lamps, which can be hung on horses when riding at night.

Guo Sanxi's general banner is under the command of General Ge Chengjieqian. Even the general banner officer has a total of 36 soldiers and [-] auxiliary soldiers. Most of this general banner are of different nationalities, as are the three small banner officers under his command.

There is Ishijiro, a small banner officer who used to be a Japanese ronin, and Xi Guiming, a small banner officer who used to be an adventurer on a Western Galenic ship. The name of the Li archer is Ge Yagunuo.

The private soldiers of the Huang family who were squatting in the trenches were all notified, and now they are all quietly waiting for Jiannu to come to fight. No one feels fear, on the contrary, everyone is extremely excited.Why?Because Jiannu's head is too valuable!
Not only the incentive of money, but the honor of killing the enemy and making contributions will make himself and his whole family show their faces in front of others.

Because the patriarch made many decapitation medals, which are divided into three types: gold, silver, and copper. Wearing a beautiful silver medal means that the soldier has beheaded a member of Jiannu Zhengbing.

Possessing a bronze medal means that you have killed an enemy soldier. It may be a monkey soldier from the Dai Viet Kingdom, or a bandit bandit, or a bandit. If you kill a Tartar, you will get two bronze medals. There are also two dead Japanese pirates and ronin.

The winner of the Gold Medal can be the first-level soldier who killed Jiannu white armor independently, or the third-level gold soldier who killed ordinary gold soldiers.

The Huang family system is always proud of the soldiers. The soldiers who wear medals on their chests and take to the streets are undoubtedly heroes with military exploits. They are the cutest members of the Huang family, and of course they are the most popular.

If a soldier who didn’t mention his daughter-in-law had a medal weighing one tael of gold on his chest during a blind date, the beauties would definitely scream, and they would cry and cry to marry the hero who once beheaded Jianu Ba Yala with his own hands.

This is exactly how beautiful women love heroes. Besides, the Huang family will not let heroes bleed and cry. Heroes' lives will always be better.Every soldier with military merits will be rewarded and privileged, the immediate family members will get good jobs, and the tax-free acres will increase accordingly.

The honor of the medal is only issued to soldiers below the general banner officer, and there is no such opportunity for those above a hundred households, because the medal is to encourage soldiers to fight the enemy bravely and strive for honor. Those above the banner are not allowed to take the lead.

Guo Sanxi's general banner is mainly soldiers with cold weapons. They are not the first echelon that sticks to the trenches. There are musketeers and steel pulley archers waiting in full swing. The cold weapon troops are the backbone of the counterattack when the enemy breaks through.

Thanks to the gradual improvement of the Huang family's industrial system, the output of armor is more than enough, not only equipped with all the main soldiers and auxiliary soldiers, but also lent [-] pairs of white soldiers to Ma Chao.

With better protection, the casualty rate of the Ming army will of course plummet. With solid armor, the white-armed soldiers who were already eager to charge are looking forward to confronting Jiannu again to avenge the blood of Hunhe.

In the trenches of the Hou Jin army, Mang Gurtai in military uniform had a ferocious face, and the following personal soldiers, Bayala, were also fierce.

The selected soldiers of the Eight Banners were all gearing up, and the same neatly dressed Hong Jie came to the front of the formation to encourage:

"Warriors, this is the time to kill the enemy and make great achievements! The enemy is only a hundred steps away. The warrior who breaks through the defense line of the Ming army first will be rewarded with 300 taels of silver and three prospects..."

The master gave such a generous reward, and the hunters in the deep mountain had their eyes shining, but unfortunately they couldn't cheer loudly. They passed the oral instructions of the Great Khan to the ears of every warrior who went to battle.

Hong Xie tightly hugged Mang Gurtai's waist again, and said, "Fifth Brother, take care!"

Mang Gurtai nodded emphatically and stopped talking. At this time, silence speaks louder than words. Then he waved his hand to the back, and the solemn Eight Banners elite strode forward along the trench.

The three Belle Azig, Dorgon, and Haoge of the second echelon stood behind Hong Jie with complicated expressions and watched Mang Gurtai disappear into the night with the soldiers.

In fact, there are not many horses, infantry armor, and white armor soldiers in the Houjin Army. Mangurtai's assault force plus the second echelon of 3000 people may have already eliminated [-]% of the elite Houjin Army. Lost four or five thousand new troops in World War I?

Mang Gurtai quietly approached the forefront with [-] elites, and then they filed out one by one holding iron shields.

The opposite position was quiet, and it seemed that the Ming army did not notice the attack of the Hou Jin army. Mang Gurtai was overjoyed, and strode forward with a saber in hand.Dozens of personal soldiers held iron shields and surrounded the master tightly.

Just after less than [-] steps forward, suddenly "Ouch, Ouch..." Several painful muffled groans, several white armored soldiers fell to the ground, with blood flowing from their feet.

Haha, the barbed caltrops mass-produced by the Huang family system are more vicious. Not only are they extremely sharp, but the tops of each steel thorn are designed with fishhook-shaped barbs. If the enemy steps on it, they will not be able to shake it off. You must sit down obediently. Pull it out with your hands enduring the pain, otherwise how can you run if the caltrops stick to the soles of your feet?

Therefore, the enemy troops who were recruited were not only injured, but also successfully made them have to waste time dealing with the caltrops on their feet. The enemy who was in the state of launching a sudden attack was delayed on the way to attack even for only a second, giving the defender a huge blow. The benefits are self-evident.

Maybe at this second, the deadly Minnie bomb has already blown the enemy's head off.

Mang Gurtai's eyes were good, he noticed the clue, and cursed: "It's barbed wire, the Ming army is too hateful, sons, don't lift your feet, push your feet flat."

Sanbeile is worthy of being a senior butcher with rich experience in the battlefield. As long as there are barbed caltrops on the ground, as long as the feet do not leave the ground, the chance of being stuck will be greatly reduced. The flexibility will also be reduced a lot.
