Daming pirates

When the Yu Jiajun side had just completed their defense adjustments, Dorgon led an army of Jiannu troops and arrived in front of their position. Yu Xiaotian had a watchtower erected more than ten meters high and climbed up to the watchtower himself.

He raised his telescope and looked in the direction of the Jiannu army.

Looking around, I could see a dense army of Jiannu slaves appearing along the west bank of the canal a few miles away. Flags and banners of various colors representing their eight-banner organization were fluttering everywhere. Groups of Jiannu cavalry and armored infantry were like ants.

Generally speaking, as he slowly walked towards his location, he could smell a strong murderous aura in the air.

Yu Xiaotian secretly took a breath. Although he had already known about the strength of Jiannu's troops, it was only on paper before. Now when tens of thousands of Jiannu's troops appear in front of him, this is

Real things are before our eyes. The kind of pressure that an army of tens of thousands can produce is definitely not something that could be experienced in the past when thousands of people faced off against each other.

This is the first time that Yu Xiaotian has commanded a battle of this scale since he fell into the sea and became a pirate until now. This is different from a naval battle, where nearly 100,000 troops from both sides are placed on such a small piece of land. This kind of pressure is really great.

Even he himself felt a little frightened.

Only now did he realize the great pressure those generals had to endure when facing tens of thousands of enemy troops. Not only him, but even his general Meng Fei also calmed down at this time.

The cynical expression he always wore became serious.

"Damn it! There are so many soldiers and horses to build slaves! If I had seen this formation more than ten years ago, I would have been scared to wet my pants by now!" Although Meng Fei's face was filled with tears.

His expression became much more serious, but his old habit of being a talkative still showed his true nature.

Yu Xiaotian almost turned around and kicked this guy off the observation deck, but he still resisted the temptation and asked Meng Fei: "Meng Fei, you guy, please shut your mouth first. I'll ask

In your opinion, can we stop the slave-building army this time?"

Meng Fei quickly straightened up, stood at attention and replied: "My lord! What you said is like not asking, why are we waiting here for so many days? Isn't it just to stop these bastards? Now that we are here, how can we let them do this?

It slipped away easily from under our noses!

Although there are many of them, in the eyes of the general, they are just piles of rotten meat! They are just perfect for the young ones to practice their skills, and they can be used as live targets!

No matter how ferocious these slaves are, they were raised by their mother and father, and they will still die if they are shot! I don’t believe they can defeat us!

Unless they don't care about anything now, throw away all the captured goods here, abandon all the captured people, and immediately rush around here, rush to Wuqing, and cross the river from Wuqing to Xianghe. I guess they still have more

If the opportunity slips away, we may not be able to hold them back, but as long as they are reluctant to give up these people and wealth, then they will never dare to slip away from the flank!"

After hearing Meng Fei's answer, Yu Xiaotian nodded with satisfaction. Meng Fei is a war maniac. He gets excited when fighting. The bigger the battle, the more excited he becomes. This guy also represents the Yu family's army.

The thoughts of the young faction are that these guys are all worried about the world being in chaos and have been sharpening their swords for a long time. They want to have a good fight with Jiannu.

Two days ago, the 7th Brigade Yu Zhenshan took advantage of two days of fierce fighting with Jiannu. He killed many enemies, which made Meng Fei and many of his officers jump with anxiety. They were all greedy to death. Today, these guys

Although I was a little nervous when I saw so many Jiannu troops coming, I was probably more excited.

These guys have followed him in the north and south for so many years. It can be said that they have made many military exploits and won many battles. They have long developed their unruly character and will never be soft to the slave army. Even if they are

No matter how many troops they have, who allows them to have so many advanced firearms that should not have appeared in this era?

Although at a glance, Jiannu's current strength on the West Bank is as many as 60,000 to 70,000, while the Yu family army only has three brigades here, of which the fourth brigade is not a full brigade, with only 20,000 troops.

It is still weaker, but this does not mean that the soldiers and generals under his command are afraid of the slave army. On the contrary, the stronger the slave army is, the happier they are. Now many people can enjoy their gun addiction.

.

When Yu Xiaotian was building the army, he always instilled various concepts into his officers and soldiers. The most important one was to instill in his officers and soldiers the threat of the slaves to the Han people, the cruelty and inhumanity of the slaves, and the inhumanity of the slaves.

The heinous crimes committed by slaves in Liaodong.

Therefore, under such constant indoctrination, everyone in the Yu family's army and generals hated the Jian Nu. They had no chance to stop talking about it before, but now they finally have the opportunity to compete with the Jian Nu army.

How can we not all gear up and prepare for a big fight?

Therefore, at this time, the soldiers and generals of the Yu Jiajun were not nervous, but were excited about to explode. Many of them even had the urge to draw their swords and charge, and they wished they could chop them off with their own hands right now.

I'm a slave, I want to vent my anger happily.

Although the Yu family's army does not have many troops at the moment, there are not many soldiers who are really afraid. Over the years, fighting pirates, bandits, and the army have long lost their interest.

Well, the soldiers and generals always like to argue in private, saying that if you have the ability, go and chop off the heads of a few slaves. That is your ability. The ability to defeat the bandits and settle the dispute! So at this moment, the soldiers and generals of the Yu family

, everyone has been waiting a little impatiently.

However, as Jiannu's army came with troops and stopped in formation on the opposite side from a distance, Yu Xiaotian and his generals saw from a distance a large wave of ragged soldiers driven by Jiannu from behind to the front of the formation.

The people of the Ming Dynasty, so everyone's heart suddenly sank, and they immediately realized what Jiannu might do.

Meng Fei suddenly tightened his grip on the hilt of the knife at his waist and said angrily: "Are these fucking Tatars still human? If you have the ability, come up and fight with me! What's the point of driving the common people to the front and blocking the knife for them? I'll do it in the future.

He is descended from eight generations of ancestors!”

Yu Xiaotian's face suddenly tightened, and he showed an angry look. He had heard about the despicable despicableness of the slaves for a long time. When the slave army attacked the city, he liked to drive the captured Ming people to lead the battle for them. Although this practice was often used in this era

People use it, but slaves use it the most, and it is also the most cruel.

Unexpectedly, today he just met the main force of Jian Nu. Before Jian Nu took action, he resorted to this move. This was really despicable to the extreme. How could Yu Xiaotian not be angry?

The most important thing for him to go north this time is to win over people's hearts and let the people of the world know that in this great world, only he can save the people from the fire.

And the reason why he wanted to fight to the death with Jiannu in Tianjin Wei and block Jiannu in the pass so that he could not escape unharmed was a very important factor, which was that he wanted to take away the hundreds of thousands of people who were captured by Jiannu.

If all are cut off, these hundreds of thousands of people will become his spokespersons and his most loyal believers.

When Jian Nu slaughtered them, robbed them, and forced them out of seclusion, no officer or soldier came to save them. Only he, Yu Xiaotian, led the troops to save them. As long as he spread the word a little, the people in the north would turn to him. In the future,

When he passes through the north, he will not encounter much resistance and can avoid many unnecessary battles and civilian casualties.

But today, the first time Jian Nu adopted such a tactic was really despicable. If he did not care about these people and ordered them to be slaughtered, even if he won this battle, he would probably have to bear the burden in the future.

The crime of a butcher.

The common people don't care why you do this. In short, they only recognize whoever can save them and whoever kills them, so once Jiannu succeeds, many of Yu Xiaotian's plans will fall into the void.

Yu Xiaotian's mind began to spin rapidly in an instant. Various plans flashed through his mind like a revolving lantern, and then they were rejected one by one. After a while, his eyes suddenly paused.

After a moment, he became firm in an instant.

"Meng Fei! Immediately pass on my order to the 4th Brigade to leave an opening at the junction with the 7th Brigade's defense line. The 4th Brigade will shrink its troops and gather the cavalry for me. You will personally lead the team and prepare!"

Send an order to the first brigade to be ready to receive refugees at the back, and be ready to seal your mouth at any time. Since Dorgon is going to give me a big gift, I won't be polite!" Yu Xiaotian shouted to Meng Fei.

road.

After Meng Fei heard about it, he immediately understood what Yu Xiaotian wanted to do and immediately responded loudly. Without saying a word, he turned around and ran down the high platform. He went down and started to send orders to mobilize his troops.

After a while, the dull sound of horns and rumbling war drums came from the Jiannu army. The nearly ten thousand Jiannu army slowly followed thousands of Ming people, forcing them to slowly

They pushed towards the Yu Jiajun's front line.

"Artillery preparations! Raise the firing angle by 30 degrees, full charge! The scale is 400 steps. When the people come over, be ready to fire at any time to intercept the slave army behind! Fire quickly!" The officers of the artillery battalion hysterically began to attack each of their subordinates.

The artillery battery issued the order.

The main equipment of the Yu Jiajun artillery is the twelve-pound mountain howitzer. This gun can not only shoot flatly, but also has a high angle of fire and can use high-projectile trajectories for hoisting. When the Jiannu army used such despicable tactics, the artillery officer

They immediately thought of a way to deal with it.

That is to give up direct-aiming shooting and use high-angle shooting. The artillery shells can pass over the crowd in front and directly penetrate into the enemy formations that are following. In the past, this was mostly done to intercept and fire at the enemy's follow-up troops, using solid

When the projectile is fired, the power will be reduced a lot. The projectile will not easily land and produce a ricochet effect under the condition of high parabolic trajectory, and the damage to enemy infantry will be greatly weakened.
