I'm a big dick

Chapter 466 Cavalry Wall Attack, Bombarding Haicheng
The cold wind kept blowing on his face, but Zuo Ling Weng Adai's heart became colder, as if it was gradually freezing.

After Du Du divided his forces, Weng Adai led Qianqi to sweep south to clear the small group of harassing troops of the Ming army.After two misses, he finally caught the Ming army in Beidianzi.

It's a pity that this Ming army is not a small group, but a brigade, and all of them are cavalry.

Counted!
Weng Adai only came to his senses at this time, not only his team of Qianqi fell into the siege of thousands of Ming army cavalry, but also Du Du and Azige, who did not know that the large troops of the Ming army had entered Jianzhou.

At least two thousand Ming army cavalry had appeared on the main road. They abandoned their horses, armed with muskets, and set up a three-sided flanking formation on both sides of the main road and the main road, waiting for Qian Qi Jiannu to fall into the pocket formation.

The way back has been cut off. Weng Adai has learned how powerful the Ming army's muskets are, so he will not throw himself into the trap and fall into the flames.

Only to charge forward and break through the blocking of the Ming army, Weng Adai quickly made a judgment, thinking that there is still hope for breaking through the battle formation of the Ming army cavalry in front of him.

Because the cavalry of the Ming army did not get off their horses and set up formations to fight with muskets, but they still rode on the horses, assuming a posture of charging and cavalry.

It was Weng Adai's wish to use the Jurchen's riding and martial arts skills to fight against the Ming army.In this regard, he is still somewhat confident.

"Destroy the enemy army, and I will be invincible with Dajin cavalry." Weng Adai swung his saber, pointed forward vigorously, and howled like a wolf.

The sound of rumbling horseshoes sounded, and the cavalry of the Ming army took the lead in mobilizing. Hundreds of cavalry stood out from the battle formation and trotted towards Jiannu.

"Come on, kill!" Jiannu let out a courageous howl, and the cavalry in the front line started up one after another, and charged towards the cavalry of the Ming army.

On the broad battlefield, the yellow fallen leaves and weeds, and the mottled black soil were trampled by heavy horseshoes. The ground was shaking, and the raised saber gleamed with sunlight, dazzling the eyes.

"Kill, charge!" Another group of Ming army cavalry mobilized, and the shouts shook the world. They followed behind the friendly cavalry wall, gradually adjusting the gap, forming an impenetrable wall.

The enemy and our cavalry were getting closer, and the Jiannu cavalry howled, stretched their bows and set arrows, and were about to get closer, so a wave of arrows came first.

Boom, boom, boom... The cavalry of the Ming army suddenly picked up their muskets and shot lead bullets at Jiannu.

After shooting, the Ming army cavalry split into two, galloped and circled to the side, and handed over the task of frontal charge to the cavalry wall behind them.

This is a new way of fighting, Kong Youde hoped that the Lancers he led would also show their faces, at least to create some confusion for Jiannu and create better opportunities for flying cavalry.

It is very difficult for cavalry to load ammunition on the horse, so they can only load it in advance and fire one round.

However, this round of musket shooting was indeed beyond Jiannu's expectations. Many Jiannu soldiers turned their backs on their backs, and many war horses were disturbed by the sound of the fire guns, and jumped up in surprise, disrupting the rhythm of the Jiannu cavalry.

Despite this, the impact of the slave cavalry is still there, and the impact is limited.

Many Jiannu also shot their bows and arrows, then drew their weapons and faced the galloping Ming army cavalry wall.

The cavalrymen of the Ming army wielded their swords and drew their bows and arrows, but only to protect their horses.The armor on them was still strong enough to withstand the shooting from Jiannu riding bows.

There were also Ming army cavalry who fell to the ground, but the gap was quickly filled by cavalry on the left and right, and the horizontal team shrank inward, maintaining sufficient density when contacting the enemy.

"Kill!" shouted in unison, accompanied by countless raised swords, and at the moment of contacting the enemy, countless horses fell together, flashing countless dazzling cold lights.

Captain Maohai was a little at a loss, facing a row of iron masks with no expression on his face, and a row of sabers falling from the air.He hesitated in his ready-made killing action, subconsciously slowed down his horse, and withdrew his knife to parry.

When, when!There were two impacts on the knife one after another, and then Maohai heard a "click", and severe pain hit his whole body.

The third saber slashed at a slant, and Maohai's right arm was removed. The severed hand was still holding the scimitar, and they all fell down.

"Ah——" Mao Hai let out a long scream, then stopped abruptly, and the saber slashed down obliquely dragged along the trend, cutting off his head.

The head of the dead man fell to the ground, and his eyes were still wide open.If Maohai can still think, he will definitely regret and hesitate to withdraw the knife.If he slashes, at least he can pull in a backup, and his name as a state-building warrior is not in vain.

Facing the impact of the cavalry wall, facing several chopped off swords, hesitating is death, retreating and parrying is death, at most it is one for one.

But the instinctive reaction of people is like this. The steel knife does not blink when it comes to the head. You cut me and I cut you with absolute desperation. It can't be changed all at once.

The cavalry wall tactics have been practiced for more than a year. How to adjust the speed of the impact, how to fill the gap, and how to break away after the impact have formed mature and perfect specifications.

This is more skilled and more reasonable than the Naturalized Cavalry Battalion.A cavalry wall was pushed past, and the jagged slave cavalry were cut down one by one.

What martial arts, what riding skills, completely useless.This was beyond Jiannu's expectations, and made them completely defeated in this completely unfamiliar fierce confrontation.

The cavalry wall changed its direction and swept diagonally, but it still maintained a relatively neat arrangement, like a sickle, harvesting the Jiannu who blocked the way; while another cavalry wall had already rushed forward, meeting the Jiannu cavalry.

Liu Xingzuo held up the binoculars, observed the situation on the battlefield, and gave another order.

A troop of cavalry launched, and trotted to adjust the direction of formation and impact. This time, instead of a frontal collision, they rushed towards the battlefield diagonally.

After this team of cavalry rushed 40 meters, another team of cavalry trotted and launched, also charging obliquely, opposite to the direction of the previous team, obliquely to the right.

Front, left, right, two hundred cavalry, one hundred cavalry, fifty cavalry, thirty cavalry, twenty cavalry, the cavalry wall tactics of the Jingying Flying Cavalry Battalion are quite proficient, and can be used according to the enemy's strength and the battlefield situation. The actual situation is adjusted and changed.

A series of cavalry walls charged across the broad battlefield, smoke and dust rose, knives flashed coldly, people shouted and horses neighed, and people's blood was rushing and their eyes were tearing apart.

"Happy, happy." Kong Youde's eyeballs were about to pop out of his sockets, and he waved his fists and shouted loudly, "This is called fighting, it's so... damn happy."

Excited by shouting, Kong Youde looked around and cursed loudly: "What are you doing looking so stupidly, move out with two wings, and beat me to death with a musket."

The Lancers mobilized, rushed forward from the edge of the battlefield, stopped and dismounted at a suitable distance, quickly formed three long lines of battle, and raised their guns to aim.

Weng Adai watched his own cavalry not only unable to break through and advance in the Ming army's wall charge, but was slashed and killed so that they turned their backs, and their eyeballs almost fell out.

Of course, the Ming army also suffered losses, but they were completely out of proportion.Moreover, even a one-to-one exchange is not acceptable to Weng Adai.

You know, the cavalry he led was only one thousand.And looking at the number of Ming army cavalry, two or three thousand is certain.

The doorway has also been seen, and the more fights the less.The orderly cavalry pushes flat and slashes with swords, while the cavalry of one's own side is staggered and separated. Basically, they will face two or three or even more enemies at the moment of engagement.

But if you know the tricks, so what, don't say you don't have time, even if you have time, you can only practice the same style of play as the enemy.

You slash me, I slash you, this is the kind of person who fights...

Weng Adai smiled wryly, knowing that Da Jin and Daming's struggle for manpower is no different from courting death.

It is rare to be spared today, Weng Adai drew out his saber, with a look of determination on his face, he swung the saber sharply, and shouted: "Warriors, follow me to kill. Kill, kill!"

"Kill, kill!" Jiannu let out a dying roar like a howling wolf, and they all sped up their horses and rushed forward.

Boom, boom, boom...

The Lancers who were already in position on the two wings fired a row of lead bullets at Jiannu. Although the distance was far away, it was not the best range, but under the intensive firepower, Kaomeng could still hit the enemy.

"Kill!" Liu Xingzuo raised the lance in his hand, roared and pointed forward, leading a group of cavalry to sweep away.

"Kill!" Another group of cavalry mobilized behind him, shouting and rushing towards the battlefield.

"Kill!" The cavalry team, which had regrouped on the side of the battlefield after the impact, rushed towards the battlefield with shouts again. They charged in different directions, ramming obliquely at the rear team of Jiannu cavalry.

Swords and guns clashed in the air, flashing a chilling light.

Blood spattered, screams and screams, horses screamed, under the sun falling to the west, the enemy and us were engaged in a tragic fight with completely disproportionate casualties.

.....................

Boom, boom, boom...

The sound of the cannons shook the heavens and earth, breaking the silence of the early morning, and could be heard in the slave camps several miles away.

"The Ming army attacked the city?!" The old slave stared, pushed away his job, stood up suddenly, and ordered loudly: "Send the order, the whole army is out of the camp."

Soon there was a commotion in the camp of Jiannu, commanded by the officers of various ministries, teams drove out of the camp and approached towards Haicheng.

The rumble of cannons has never stopped, constantly beating on the old slave's heart.

It is impossible to confront the Ming army for a long time. The old slave still hopes that the Ming army will attack the city quickly. He may find an opportunity to attack from both inside and outside with the army.

But the Ming army really started to attack the city, and the old slave couldn't help feeling uneasy and having complicated thoughts.

The closer they got, the clearer the sound of the cannon could be heard, and even the black smoke from Haicheng could be seen, and the old slave's face became more serious.

boom!A shell slammed into the battlement mouth, sending brick dust flying, and the splashed broken bricks hit two defenders, who fell to the ground screaming and covering their faces.

Another cannonball was fired, hitting the gate tower of the west city, and the broken bricks and wood were covered in dust and fell, creating a thick gray fog.

In Tong Yangxing's gaze, a cannonball crossed the city wall in an arc and landed in the city. It took a long time before there was a loud noise and a burst of exclamation.

More shells flew into the air, and explosions sounded one after another in the city.

Bombardment, siege!The Ming army finally mobilized, Tong Yangxing's face was calm, but his heart was filled with panic and fear.

In his view, even if the Ming army did not attack the city, the food and materials in the city would not last long.The siege of the city has been completed, and without reinforcements to meet the broken camp, Haicheng will definitely not be able to hold it.

As for the internal and external attack, Tong Yangxing did not have such hope.Facing the deep ditch barriers of the Ming army, the firearms were sharp, and with the generals in the city, it would almost be death if they rushed forward.

Therefore, Tong Yangxing can only hope that the reinforcements' attack can break the siege.Or when the Ming army's camp collapsed, they went out of the city to attack.

"It's just that the firearms are fierce." Shuo Tuo snorted coldly, "When Pancheng attacks, he will be killed until his blood flows like a river."

Tong Yangxing woke up from his contemplation, stroked his beard and chin, and echoed: "What Baylor said is very true. Since ancient times, the attack on the strong city has caused corpses everywhere and heavy losses. It is wishful thinking for the Ming army to use firearms to frighten our army. .”

Shuotuo turned his head to look north, with a smile on his face, "Listen, reinforcements are dispatched to meet us."

Tong Yangxing also heard the sound of sobbing horns, and also smiled, and said: "King Khan will conquer himself, and he will win a complete victory."

The horns whimpered, ghosts cried and wolves cried, and tens of thousands of Jiannu troops formed a battle formation, more than two miles away from the Ming army camp, with banners unfurled, which was quite powerful.

Xiong Tingbi held up his binoculars and watched for a while, then ordered in a deep voice: "Order the artillery to prepare for the bombardment, and violently bombard the enemy when I give the order."

The messenger bowed in response, trotted off the general platform, and went to deliver the order.

At this distance, although the Hongyi Cannon, which shoots solid shells to kill the enemy by bouncing flatly, can bombard, it is no longer an effective range, and its power is greatly reduced.

But Jiannu obviously didn't know the exact data of the rocket and Ming's heavy pressure, and Xiong Tingbi was not in a hurry. When Jiannu came to attack, he covered everything with firepower from muskets to artillery, from a hundred meters to two miles.

Nurhachi ordered to sound the horn, but he was not in a hurry to attack.This is for the defenders in the city to let them know that the reinforcements are outside the city, so that they can stabilize the morale of the army and defend the city desperately.

Moreover, for this mobilization, Jiannu also made quite sufficient preparations, carrying a large number of chariots and dozens of trench bridges.

In the cold wind, Jiannu waited in line, and in front of the formation were countless carts, pushed by the coat, they were cheap cannon fodder.

Why don't you attack?Xiong Tingbi put down the binoculars and narrowed his eyes.

He could probably guess what the old slave was thinking. He wanted to wait a while, so that the Ming army would suffer losses during the siege and their morale would be frustrated.

In the eyes of the old slave, Haicheng is very strong and cannot be breached in a short while.

That being the case—the corner of Xiong Tingbi's mouth curled up and he sneered, then let you watch the city fall and the heads of the city guards and slaves being hung on high poles with your own eyes!
"Stop shelling." Xiong Tingbi passed down an order, "Order the engineers to load gunpowder and blast."

During this period of time, the Ming army not only dug trenches to build villages, but also dug two tunnels leading to the city in the south of the city.In order to prevent moisture failure, the gunpowder was not filled in advance.

But this final process doesn't take long, two hours is enough.

Since Nurhachi was not confused by the feint attack, he immediately sent troops to attack.Xiong Tingbi no longer had to feint and waste ammunition, just break through the city and let Jiannu watch.

The engineering troops who received the order acted immediately, transporting the gunpowder packaged in iron boxes into the tunnel one by one, and filling them under the city foundation...
