Chapter 17 Fierce Battle

There were many musketeers on the Yu Jiajun side, and they were protected by parapets, horses and trenches. They completely ignored the charge of the slave cavalry and gave full play to the advantage of the three-stage attack. Rows of musketeers stepped forward in turn and fired from behind the parapets.

As a result, the first charge of two thousand Jiannu cavalry only lasted less than two quarters of an hour before it collapsed. More than 300 wounded and corpses were abandoned in front of the formation, as well as many horses that were killed and injured. The Jiannu cavalry at the bottom fled back in despair.

Du Du was a little dumbfounded. He had no idea that an army would have such strong firepower, that this Yu family army would be so powerful, and that its muskets and cannons would be so sharp.

Two thousand Mongolian and Eight Banners cavalry rushed over and came down one after another. They mowed down the ground like rice. They didn't even touch the enemy's defense line. What's more, their cavalry couldn't even shoot an arrow. He went out and was pushed back just like that.

So he quickly adjusted his tactics, gave up the method of letting the cavalry charge, and instead ordered the infantry to go into battle. This time he directly mobilized 4,000 infantry troops to go into battle.

Among these 4,000 infantry troops, about 2,000 are Han bannermen. They are composed of Ming troops who surrendered before or young and strong Han people who were captured and captured. Among the Ming troops, they can be regarded as the Wuzhenchaoha camp. They are equipped with some firearms, and muskets are the weapons they use more often.

Another thousand people were the armored men of the Eight Banners who built the slaves, which was their main force, and the remaining one thousand people were the infantry drawn from the Eight Banners of Mongolia.

These four thousand infantrymen were equipped with many shields. They lined up with their shields raised. After shouting wildly, under the leadership of several Jiannu generals, they began to push toward the Yu Jiajun's defense line with a black force like a forest of spears and a wall of shields.

Seeing Du Du's side being replaced by slaves, Yu Zhenshan was sitting in the army. His expression did not change, and he still responded to the changes with his unchanged attitude. He ordered the enemy troops to enter the shooting range, and then fired with artillery first, and then continued to fire.

There is nothing new in fighting this kind of battle. The Yu Jiajun has fought too many battles like this. Many enemies were frustrated by Yu Jiajun’s tactics just because they didn’t understand the Yu Jiajun’s tactics at all. The ability to output arms power.

It seems that there is nothing wrong with what Du Du did, but trying to break through the Yu Jiajun's defense line in this way is simply a dream, almost like sending death.

Yu Jiajun is now a standard volley-gun to kill party members. What he likes most is when the enemy uses this method to fight them head-on. When he volley-guns and kills them like this, it can't be more exciting.

Therefore, not long after these slave infantrymen entered the battle, they were immediately bombarded by the Sea Wolf artillery. Even the Sea Wolf artillery used solid bullets. In this cold and freezing environment, the ground was frozen solid. , just suitable for exerting the killing power of solid ricochet bullets.

Cannonballs flew into the formation of the Jiannu army one after another, and every cannonball landed on the ground. Even if it could open a bloody alley in the formation of the Jiannu army, anyone who blocked the path of the cannonballs would be They all had no choice but to become victims. A volley of artillery fire hit them, and Jiannu's originally seemingly neat formation was beaten into the old man's gums, with bloody gaps everywhere.

The shields and armor were like paper in front of these shells, unable to provide any protection. Many slave soldiers were torn off by the shells, and some were even cut into pieces on the spot, with their internal organs and limbs scattered among the crowd. Flying, bloody flesh is everywhere.

What's ridiculous is that Du Du actually asked his men to form such a dense formation, which happened to be a living target for the Yu Jiajun's artillery. The artillerymen were really happy. It was a cold day, and soon everyone's head was steaming.

, breaking into hot sweat.

The soldiers who built the slaves were frightened by the beating, but at least the Eight Banners Army had strict discipline and they did not dare to collapse on the spot. They could only bite the bullet and disperse their formation slightly to minimize the damage caused by such shells to them.

When they reached a distance of 200 meters, the Yu Jiajun infantry musketeers began to fire again. Rows of musketeers stepped forward and began firing, as if they were shooting at live targets.

Rows of slave soldiers cut it to the ground like mowing grass.

The soldiers and generals who established the slaves were so aggrieved! They were elite soldiers after all, okay? When had they ever been bullied like this? They saw the enemy formation right in front of them, but they couldn't attack it, and they could only suffer a beating.

Jian Nu was also a human being. Even though they were usually extremely arrogant against the Ming army, when they encountered the Yu Jiajun's position, they were defeated.

Needless to say, the result was that Jiannu's offensive was completely defeated by the Yu Jiajun. Before they could reach the front of the Yu Jiajun's defense line, they were completely defeated and fled back.

Du Du's claws were numb at this moment, and he realized that he had encountered a real challenge today. This kind of fighting style was something he had never seen before. The firearms in Yu Jiajun's hands were so sharp that they were far more powerful.

Beyond his knowledge of cannons and muskets, taking a life from a person two hundred paces away was like searching a bag for an object. Even if he was wearing heavy armor, he could still be knocked to the ground.

Du Du saw that the offensive he launched was so unbearable in front of the Yu family army, and he suddenly became a little scared, but if they don't fight, it will definitely not succeed. Now they have no choice but to create a passage from here and rush out.

If they are blocked here, once the Ming court comes to their senses, realizes that this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and mobilizes heavy troops to surround them, then their 100,000-strong army will probably be lost here this time.

What these soldiers and horses mean to their establishment of slaves, Du Du, as Baylor, certainly knows better than anyone else. If their entire army is wiped out here, it will mean that the Qing Dynasty they finally established will be destroyed.

Maybe just for a moment.

So when Du Du thought of this, he broke out in a cold sweat, and immediately ordered to summon his men to find a solution. After a while, the Manchu generals, Mongolian generals and Han generals he brought were all summoned to Du Du.

Du asked these people for advice.

These guys are all a little numb now. No one has ever encountered such a style of play. No one has ever encountered an army with such powerful firepower. After discussing for a long time, some Jiannu generals and the Mongolian army

Jiang Jiang pointed out that Han soldiers are best at infantry fighting, so this matter must be done by Han soldiers.

When the surrendered generals of the Han army heard this, they immediately pushed the old mothers of these Jian slaves and Mongolian generals to the ground, turned the rice around a hundred times, and thought to themselves: How do you know that I am good at foot combat? I

If he is good at foot combat, can he be caught by you and used as a dog-leg?

But these words could only be cursed in their hearts, and they did not dare to curse them in person. Although they were reluctant, they had no choice but to bite the bullet and agreed.

Since things have come to this point, they will die if they go, and they will die if they don't go, so they have no choice but to fight.

So the surrendered generals of the Han army who established slaves got together and discussed for a while, but they really couldn't come up with a good solution and could only use the old method.

They sent people to quickly collect logs and vehicles, and quickly put together some oars, shields or oars on the spot. Putting these oars, shields or oars in front, even if they couldn't block the cannonballs, they could at least block the bullets.

Du Du and his men worked hard for a long time and a whole night, and worked all night to build various oars, shields, and carts. During the night, in order to tire out the enemy, they also sent a small group of cavalry to harass Yu.

The defense line of the family army.

Overnight, the two sides fought fiercely. In order to prevent the slave-building army from sneak attacks at night, the Yu Jiajun lit a bonfire at a distance of about 150 steps outside the defense line and dozens of steps apart. As long as the slave-building army

When they appeared outside their lines at night, they immediately fired a salvo of gunfire to drive them back.

After Jiannu worked hard all night, at dawn, he rolled out two to three hundred oars and shields or oars from the camp and placed them in front of the two armies. He also sent thousands of Han troops to cover them under the cover of oars.

Next, attack Yu Jiajun's defense line.

After a day of fierce fighting, Yu Zhenshan still led the troops to repulse Jiannu's offensive. There were piles of broken oars or the remains of oars and shields everywhere in front of the two armies.

Dealing with these shields and carts has long been a specialty of the Yu Jiajun. The artillery can knock them out with direct aim. The infantry can use Wolf fang rifles to penetrate them within a hundred meters. Even if the carts are pushed to the Yu family

In front of the military line, as long as they are thirty steps away, Yu Jiajun still has grenades to deal with them.

Therefore, these oars, chariots and shields are not of much use to the Yu Jiajun. They can only allow the soldiers and generals of Jiannu to get closer to the Yu Jiajun's defense line!

At the end of the day, Jiannu dropped more than a thousand corpses and wounded people in front of the Yu Jiajun's formation. In addition to these, their biggest gain was to fire a few rows of arrows towards the Yu Jiajun's defense line.

The Yu family's military generals just caused some pressure.

Du Du looked at the fighting situation and was so angry that his head was filled with smoke. He gritted his teeth and vowed to kill all these damn Yu Jiajun. However, this oath was just a word, and he had no temper at all because of the Yu Jiajun.

The Yu Jiajun had obviously been waiting for them here for a long time. Although the defense line they built was not strong, it effectively restrained the cavalry offensive that Jiannu was best at. Moreover, the Yu Jiajun relied on this simple defense line and their sharp firearms to

Like a fire-breathing hedgehog, the vicious dog Jiannu was too anxious to eat.

Du Du saw that it would not work during the day, so he turned to the idea of ​​​​night. Night was a natural protection for the slaves. Even if the Yu family army set up a bonfire outside the defense line, they could not see far.

, which is relatively beneficial to the Jiannu.

So Du Du gathered thousands of troops that night and launched a high-intensity and large-scale night attack on the defense line of the 7th Brigade of the family army.

That night, Jiannu's offensive really put a lot of pressure on the 7th Brigade. In the middle of the night, the Jiannu army quietly moved out of sight of the 7th Brigade's defense line to assemble, and then suddenly

With a loud shout, thousands of soldiers and horses immediately rushed towards the Yu Jiajun's defense line from the darkness like a tide.
