Chapter 1309 Shield Car

"Prince Duoluo Yingwu" Azig held his shiny forehead with one hand, and tapped the table with his fingers rhythmically. His eyes occasionally turned around, revealing a frightening and fierce light.

"Spare Yu Beile! The fault of this defeat is yours!" He couldn't help but said in a deep voice, "Our army's elite dead soldiers and our own troops were actually sent by you to charge directly into the battle. How can it be different from abandoning them, resulting in three or four casualties? Hundreds of people, what do you want to say today?”

"I know you are guilty!" "Rao Yubeile" Abatai wanted to retort, but the fact was the case, and he was afraid that Azig would turn around and refer to him, so he had to explain honestly.

"But victory or defeat is a common thing for soldiers. If this were not the case, I would not be able to find out the true identity of the thief."

"What truth have you discovered?" Azige looked at him sideways upon hearing this.

Although Abatai was Azig's uncle in terms of seniority, he didn't have any regard for him as he did for his elders.

"Although the 'Shun Thieves' have many soldiers and horses, they are not very skilled. All they rely on are cannons!" Abatai was not annoyed, but said sternly.

"Earlier, our 'dead soldiers' charged into the formation, and most of our casualties were due to this. Later, we used arson, which was extremely hateful, so many of our soldiers died."

"That's it?" Azig frowned when he heard this, and said a little dissatisfied.

"In my opinion, although the soldiers of these 'submissive thieves' are not as good as our Qing Dynasty, they are still better than those of the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, they cannot fight without shields and chariots, and they cannot fight without the method of controlling fire. The battle will be defeated!" Abata heard. Yan secretly gritted his teeth and had no choice but to hold back his anger.

"Oh?" Azige was stunned when he heard this, and asked, "I understand this shield car, but what is this so-called 'fire control method'?"

Wearing two layers of armor to get into battle and fill trenches were the basic tactics of the post-Jin soldiers.

Now that he has been burned to the point of losing his temper by the "arson method" of the rebels, Azige, the king of Yingwu County, is having a headache because of this, and he can't help but feel refreshed after hearing this.

"This is easy to hear. Water has been able to defeat fire since ancient times. Since the 'submissive thief' used fire, why can't I defeat it with water?" Abatai couldn't help laughing when he heard this.

"Conquer it with water? How to defeat it?" Azig frowned and asked again.

"If you don't pour water on it first, the cotton armor will be wet, it will not burn if it is burned, and it will not be penetrated by the blunderbuss, so there will be no danger!" Abatai explained.

"Yes!" Azig couldn't help but nodded when he heard this, "But then we ordered the soldiers to cut down the trees and make a shield chariot. But when the chariot is completed, we can defeat it in one fell swoop!"

On the second day, at dawn, Houjin's soldiers were summoned by their officers to go to Beishan to cut wood.

Originally, Azig and Abatai were worried that the rebels would take the opportunity to harass and challenge them, so they sent more soldiers to prepare for it.

As a result, when the sun rose three poles, no one came. He was shocked and quickly sent scouts to explore.

Only then did he discover that the "Shun Thief" was also escorted by soldiers and went to Beishan to cut bamboo trees.

"We cut trees to make shield vehicles to defeat the enemy, but what are these 'thieves' cutting trees for?" Azig frowned, puzzled.

"Our army felled trees in order to break the cannon. Since the 'thieves' knew the bravery of our army yesterday, they probably wanted to make chariots to avoid hand-to-hand combat!" Abatai couldn't help laughing after hearing this.

"Yes!" Azig also laughed when he heard this.

Chariots and artillery were the standard equipment of the Ming army to deal with Houjin.

This time the "shun thief" took advantage of his own family, and he should have built a chariot long ago.

Thinking of this, Azig felt a little relieved and couldn't help but feel ashamed: "Shame, shame! A little 'submissive thief' forced me to do this. If I mention this in the future, I will be laughed at by Your Majesty for the rest of my life!" "

"No, no, as long as you can defeat the thief, it is a great achievement. Your Majesty has not had time to reward the king, so how can you laugh at him?" After hearing this, Abatai flattered him not lightly, but he immediately made Ah Batai angry. Jigur laughed.

Not to mention the calculations between the two sides, after two or three days, Yangguli had compressed the Ming army's strength into Xiyan Town, and built more than 200 shield vehicles. Then he regrouped and invited the rebels to attack.

The rebels were not polite when they saw this, and all their troops lined up outside the camp to receive the money.

"Oh? How brave!" Azig stood in the formation, looked at the neatly dressed rebels on the opposite side, and couldn't help but laugh, "How dare you do the same thing with an embroidered pillow!"

"'Rao Yubeile,' you go into battle first, and when the two sides are fighting inextricably, I will make him look good again!"

"Yes, Prince!" After hearing this, Abatai received the order and ordered the shield chariot to attack.

The establishment of the Later Jin Dynasty: 100 soldiers, including 10 white Baya La, 40 red Baya La, and 50 people from the black camp.

Among them, the red bagara and the black camp are each equipped with two shield vehicles and ten shield vehicle soldiers, while the white bagara, as an elite, is not equipped with a shield vehicle.

Such 200 shield vehicles can support approximately 5,000 Houjin elite troops in combat.

Each shield cart can push ten people and cover ten armored soldiers, which can cover about twenty-five people. In this way, all five thousand elite soldiers can be covered by the shield cart.

"Hey, are you doing something new again?" Zhang Shun saw it from a distance while standing on the observation deck and couldn't help but smile.

"This is Donglu's shield chariot warfare method, which is used to restrain our army's artillery!" Gao Qiqian, who was waiting by his side, couldn't help but explain.

"In the past in Liaodong, the Ming army's artillery was the most powerful and the prisoners could not stop it, so they built more shield vehicles."

"The plaque is very thick, about five or six inches. It is also covered with a layer of cowhide and a layer of iron. Small bricks and stones will not move when struck, large bricks and stones will roll down, and firewood will not burn when thrown. Therefore, it is a danger to China."

"Yeah!" Zhang Shun nodded after hearing this.

He also knew that since Houjin had fought fiercely with the Ming army for many years and was able to defeat the Ming army many times using shield-carriage tactics, he must have some skills.

But now that the arrow was on the string and had to be fired, he didn't care much.

Zhang Shun now has nine battalions under his command. Among them, Sun Chuanting led Wang Zhong and Xu Quan to garrison Taiyuan City. Zhang Damu's first battalion was converted into cavalry and was sent to the west of Fenhe River to prevent Hou Jin from crossing the river. Wei Zhiyou received Injured, Jiang Xiang has newly surrendered, and these two battalions can only defend the camp.

Calculated in this way, the only soldiers he can use are the four battalions of Yang Chengzu, Lu Xiangjin, Shen Jingbang and Zhang Rujing.

Among the four battalions, except for Yang Chengzu's troops, none of them were battle-hardened soldiers, so Zhang Shun couldn't help but be worried.

As soon as Donglu's shield chariot moved, the first person to bear the brunt was Zhang Rujing, a young general in the Chinese army.

Zhang Rujing was originally one of the four sons of Zhang Xianzhong, the "Eight Great Kings", but he was stranded in the rebel camp due to some strange combination of circumstances.

At that time, the rebels were short of manpower, so he was made director of the department under Chen Changzhi.

Later, Zhang Shun saw that he had made some achievements and caught up with the expansion of the rebel army, so he promoted him to the position of commander-in-chief, in charge of a battalion.

It's just that this young man, who is only fifteen or sixteen years old, doesn't know if he can withstand this brutal Houjin elite soldier.
