Chapter 499
Early the next morning, the Jianlu camp was noisy.Many Mongolian soldiers got up and looked at it, and they were immediately surprised to find out, why did people die?
When they came back to their senses, after knowing that the Ming army had stolen the camp, they couldn't help but be thankful that their camp was not on the outermost side, not in the direction where the Ming army sneaked in.

Logically speaking, after the Jianlu soldiers, especially the Mongol soldiers, were so exhausted yesterday, they actually still have sequelae today. It is best to rest for half a day or a day or something.

However, Duoduo ordered to bury the pot to make food, and he was willing to bleed to let his army have a full meal, and then ordered the whole team to leave the camp to prepare to attack Yaozhou Station.

"Woooooooo..."

The sound of long horns sounded from time to time, and the Jianlu army came out in formations, and under the protection of the cavalry, they approached Yaozhou Station.

At the same time, on the south side of Yaozhou Station, the two Jianlu cavalry camps also responded, and they all rushed out of the Jianlu cavalry army, and they were also approaching Yaozhou Station.

At first glance, you can see Yaozhou post in all directions, almost all over the mountains and plains, all of them are Jianlu troops. Just looking at this scene, it is a bit scary.

However, although the Ming army at Yaozhou Post was ready to fight, judging from their expressions, they didn't feel nervous at all.Obviously, today's Ming army has enough psychological quality to deal with this situation.

Duoduo, who was in the distance, observed the situation of the Ming army, which made him realize once again that the Ming army today is no longer the Ming army of the past.If it was the Ming army in the past, after the Qing army showed such power, they would be able to see panicked expressions on the faces of the soldiers of the Ming army.Their movements will also be stiff, and even formation is difficult to complete.

After seeing it clearly, I already have a general understanding in my heart, but no matter what, for this sake, it must be fought.

According to the battle plan he had thought up yesterday, he saw Duoduo passing Wu Keshan and shouted in a cold voice: "Your department dispatched elite cavalry to attack the western defense line of Yaozhou Post. Their ammunition. In addition, prepare ropes, it would be best to be able to drag those refusal horses away!"

After Wu Keshan heard this, he cupped his fists and accepted the order. He did not refuse this military order.I did this before when I was fighting with the Qing army.As long as the elite cavalry is mobilized and they show the power to rush forward, the soldiers of the Ming army will often shoot before the cavalry is within range.In this case, the cavalry is actually safe, and only the unlucky ones will be injured by stray bullets.

After a while, a cavalry army of thousands of people began to gather on the western front.The Jianlu on other sides are also preparing, as if they are about to attack Yaozhou Station. Their role is to create a tense atmosphere to contain the Ming army on other lines of defense.

"Woooooooo..."

The horn sounded again, people shouted and horses neighed, and then echoed.

The Jianlu cavalry army began to drive their horses away from the original place, scattered their lines, and rushed towards Yaozhou post at an increasing speed.

"Hoo ho ho..."

The sound of rumbling horseshoes became more and more urgent.The Mongol on horseback lay down, as if becoming one with the horse, driving the horse to run faster and faster.There were so many rushing hooves that the ground seemed to vibrate.

It has to be said that the Mongols' riding skills are really superb, and the charging momentum they created is beyond the reach of ordinary cavalry.Because other cavalry troops may have to reserve horse speed for the subsequent turn, so as not to turn too fast and fail to turn, and they will really bump into each other. However, these Mongols have no such concerns.When they were charging, they slowly increased their horse speed to the highest speed, and the momentum they displayed was naturally far more terrifying than other cavalry troops.

However, even if they played their due level.But the soldiers of the Ming army on the western front, even if they rely on the defense line composed of vans, are not as strong as the walls of Yaozhou Station, and they have not seen anyone panicking.

Military officers at all levels are telling their subordinates: "Anyone who shoots without a military order will be beheaded!"

Or, the pikemen behind the van received an order: "Bows and arrows are ready, no military orders are allowed, and those who shoot arrows without authorization will be killed!"

In fact, the Ming army is very familiar with Jianlu's tricks.They just wanted to lure the Ming army to fire.After repeating it several times, it is very likely that the illusion will turn into reality, and the attack will be launched suddenly, so we must guard against it.

"Heaaaaaa..." The sound of hoofbeats became more and more urgent.

"Jiligulu..." The Mongols' shouts of killing became louder and louder.

Closer, closer.

Damn it, why didn't the Ming army fire or shoot?The Mongolian Tartars charging on horseback saw that they were about to enter the effective range of the guns, but they couldn't help cursing their mothers before seeing the effect.

The Mongolian Tartars who ran in the front took out the rope and started to wave it.They had received the task, and they were going to throw and trap the rejecting horse, to see if they could pull away the rejecting horse.However, if he could get a refusal horse, it would definitely be within the range of the Ming army.

Finally, the Mongolian cavalry rushed into the range of the guns, but instead of rushing forward, they immediately took the reins, controlled the horses, and escaped the effective range of the guns in an arc at the first time.Only a dozen or so Mongolian Tatars who received the task continued to move forward, trying to trap the Juma deployed at the front of the position.

At this moment, the signal flag was waved, and an officer of the Ming army saw it and issued a military order to his subordinates.

"Blah blah blah..."

Gunpowder smoke burst out suddenly, and the gunshots rang out.

Duo Duo, who was in the distance, couldn't help being very disappointed when he saw it.Because the Ming army only had a team of musketeers shooting, obviously, it was only aimed at the Mongols who were trying to trap the horses.The other soldiers of the Ming army were not disturbed by the gunfire and did not shoot along with them.

After the gunshots sounded, the war horses wailed, and only one round of shooting knocked down half of the war horses.

The Ming army was also ruthless enough. Instead of aiming at people, they just aimed at war horses with bigger targets and shot.

The three-stage shooting method, under continuous shooting, only took a while before the gunfire stopped.In front of them, all the fallen horses were wailing, and the Mongols who were also shot were either dying or trying to crawl towards their own team.

Seeing this situation, a group of Ming soldiers came out from behind the van, armed with long guns, and stabbed the wounded Mongolian Tartars in front of the formation of the two armies.Then, in full view of everyone, he pulled the horses that were also killed and dragged them towards the Ming army's position.

Seeing this scene, the soldiers of the Ming army all cheered.Apparently they had horsemeat to eat.

No matter how hungry the Mongols were, they would not eat horse meat, because they knew that war horses were part of them.But if the horse is dead, that's another matter.At this time, seeing the Ming army dragging away their war horses without any scruples, their eyes were all angry, but they were helpless.

After observing for a while, Duoduo did not give up, but began to dispatch troops again, preparing for the next attack.

On the top of the city, Li Dingguo saw Jianlu's movement, and immediately reported to Li Guo: "Commander, Jianlu is going to attack from the upper air."

Black powder firearms have a very bad disadvantage.Whether it is a cannon or a musket, a lot of gunpowder smoke will be generated during the firing process.If the number of artillery guns fired is too high, the smoke will fill the air and the line of sight will inevitably be blocked.

Jianlu wants to launch an offensive from the upper air, obviously because he knows this defect of firearms.

Judging the enemy's main attack direction is the premise of whether the defenders can better hold the front.Li Guo listened, nodded, and then passed the general order.

In the Jianlu formation, this time it was no longer just a cavalry attack.It's a step-riding linkage.The cavalry responded, and the infantry pushed carts one after another, forming a scattered formation, and launched an attack on the Ming army.Jianlu's archers hid behind the front chariot.After that, there were soldiers preparing to fight hand-to-hand.Its purpose is self-evident.

On the side of the Ming army, the artillery got into the side van and began to move the artillery on the van in response.

"Boom, boom, boom..." The sound of war drums resounded over Yaozhou Station.

As the Jianlu forces in the main attack direction began to move, the Jianlu forces in other directions, and the infantry and cavalry coalition forces also began to push towards the Ming army, and a full-scale attack officially began.

The line of troops is slowly advancing, and this time, it was the Ming army who launched the attack first.

"Boom...boom...boom..." On the side of the Ming army, the Hongyi cannons with the longest range fired at Jianlu's chariots at intervals of several feet.

The gunpowder smoke from each cannon temporarily covered the vicinity of the cannon, but then it was blown away by the wind in the field.

One after another, the iron bullets formed a small parabolic arc and quickly smashed into the distance.

Of the five iron bullets, one will basically hit the slowly pushing cart, making a loud "bang" sound. No matter how strong the construction is, the cart will fall apart with the sound.Unfortunately, Jianlu, who was behind the car, became a nutrient for the soil when it was hit, and it was basically impossible to live again.But more, they rushed to both sides at the first time.Overall, there were not many casualties.

These Jianlu who were attacking looked at the torn apart corpses of their accomplices, as if they hadn't seen them, and didn't panic. Instead, they continued to hide behind the chariot beside them and continued to attack.

As the line of soldiers got closer and closer, Jianlu's cavalry began to move, slowly increasing their horse speed, and began to charge at high speed towards the Ming army's position.But this time, they were no longer purely shocking, but shooting arrows with horseback bows. They were not accurate, and they just shot to the Ming army's position to disturb the Ming army's soldiers.

Some of these cavalry troops would even gallop forward and then dismount, hide behind their horses, and fire rockets at the Ming army, specifically shooting near the cannons in an attempt to ignite the gunpowder near the cannons.

At this time, on the side of the Ming army, the fusiliers also started to fight back.However, not all fusiliers fired, but staggered with the artillery to prevent the smoke from the gunpowder from being too thick.In addition, the archers in the Ming army also began to fight back.

Amidst the sound of war drums and artillery, the mournful cry of war horses began to appear, as well as the painful groans of wounded soldiers.However, none of this had any impact on the battle situation.What should be attacked is still attacking, what should be defended is still defending.

When Jianlu's chariots entered the effective range of the Ming army's artillery, there were more and more chariots with medium artillery.Finally, Jianlu gave an order, and the Jianlu behind those chariots shouted, and the chariot was pushed up by them at the fastest speed, and rushed towards the Ming army's position.

Under normal circumstances, if the artillery of the Ming army started to fire in a hurry, it would have hit Jianlu's arms.The gunpowder smoke from many artillery fires together was enough to block the sight of the Ming army and cover Jianlu's approach.

But Jianlu was obviously going to be disappointed. Although Jianlu showed the momentum to rush forward, the artillery of the Ming army still fired according to certain rules.Those who should fire cannons will be fired in time at the command; those that should not be fired, absolutely no artillery will fire.

You must know that these artillery belong to the car camp, and the car camp was trained by Emperor Chongzhen with Qi Jiguang's severe military tactics regardless of the cost.During training, if you make a mistake, you should cut off your head and there will be no ambiguity.The quality of these battalion artillery is far from comparable to that of ordinary frontier soldiers.

Regardless of the shelling, Jianlu's charge was getting closer and closer.Jianlu's chariot effectively blocked the bullets and protected the Jianlu behind.

After getting closer, the brave Jianlu rushed out of the carriage and began to charge towards the Ming army's position, shouting and waving weapons.

Seeing this scene in the distance, Doduo breathed a sigh of relief.At this time, the brave wins when they meet on a narrow road.He has confidence in the bravery of the warriors of the Qing Dynasty. What he saw with his eyes at this time were all selected brave warriors who were charging towards the Ming army's front line.

As long as a part of the Qing army rushed into the defense line of the Ming army, then there would be no suspense in this battle.Fighting at close quarters has always been Qing's strong point!
At this time, a group of knights galloped towards Dodo's banner.

"Master, someone from Shengjing is here!" Duoduo's personal guard immediately reported to Duoduo after seeing it.

After hearing this, Duoduo turned his head and took a look. He recognized that the leader was a Han dog after he had pacified me, so he turned his head again, not bothering to pay attention to him.

Almost everyone knew about Duduo's hatred for the Han people.After Ning Wan and I got closer, seeing Dodo ignore him, he didn't dare to fart, so I had to stay behind Dodo and wait for the end of this battle.

Seeing that the soldiers of the Qing Dynasty were about to rush to the front of the Ming army's position, Ning Wan and I opened my mouth and was about to compliment Duoduo when I saw a black cloud appearing on the Ming army's position.People in the army naturally knew that it was not a dark cloud, but a rain of arrows.

With the density of this rain of arrows, how many archers must there be? How could the Ming army have so many archers?
When he was still surprised, he saw the sudden rain of arrows in front of the Ming army's position, nailing all the screaming Jianlu to the ground.The whole world seemed to be much quieter at once.

At this moment, no matter whether it was Ning Wan, me or Duoduo, they were all dumbfounded.

 Thanks Chen Xifeng for the reward!
