As rounds of flowering bullets continue to fall on the high ground on both sides of the Dry Grass Ridge, the casualties of the Houjin Tartars are also increasing, and the Houjin Tartars, who were as brave as wolves in the face of the Ming army in the past, are no different from a civilian in the face of this irresistible scientific and technological force, and countless Tartars are screaming and running around in the flying artillery fire, panicking like a weak woman who has encountered a robber.

Looking at the embarrassment of the brave and fearless Houjin warriors in the past in the artillery fire of the Ming army, Amin was afraid and at the same time a feeling of shame and anger also came to his heart, is this still the brave and invincible blue flag warriors under his command, how can he be as timid as those cowardly Ming people.

Amin hid behind the dirt slope and only showed half of his head, looking at the scene in front of him, his hand holding the hilt of the knife trembled, to be honest, this is the first time he has seen such a scene in his life, looking at the scene like a landslide, he also felt doubts for the first time about his proud bravery, is the strong body and the martial arts that have been practiced hard for decades still useful in the face of these forces far beyond human beings?

After being silent for a long time, Amin said to Dai Shan on the side in a somewhat trembling voice: "Big brother, I am now until why you are suffering in the hands of that Ming army, those Ming dogs' artillery is too powerful, it seems that I am too ignorant." ”

Seeing Amin rarely bow his head to himself, Dai Shan glanced at him with some surprise, and then smiled bitterly: "What's the use of talking about this now, now I'm worried about how long we can hold on." ”

Amin pondered for a while, and a trace of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes: "Big brother, although this is the first time I have experienced this situation, I think that this kind of attack strength must not be maintained for a long time, at most their attacks will stop in half an hour." We are waiting here, as long as the Ming artillery fire stops, they should attack, as long as these Ming dogs attack the mountain, our warriors will make him look good. ”

Amin is right, although the intensity of the artillery attack is large, but it really can't be too long-lasting, after more than 40 minutes of shelling, although the gunners tried their best to cool down the barrel, but the temperature of the artillery still reached the warning line, although someone proposed to directly splash cold water to cool down the artillery, but Yang Feng refused, these artillery he spent a lot of money and time and energy to get it, but it can't be so bad, besides, the current situation has not endangered the extent of forcibly firing the artillery regardless of the service life of the artillery.

The sound of artillery suddenly stopped, and the entire battlefield took on an eerie silence. If it weren't for the smoke and groans that had not yet dissipated and almost enveloped the entire battlefield, some Tartars would have even wondered if the scene just now was a nightmare.

Amin rubbed his eyes, leaned into the clairvoyant mirror and went down the mountain to look over, when he saw that the Ming army in front of the position had stopped the artillery, he shouted happily: "The artillery fire has stopped, they don't shoot artillery, and the Ming dog is about to come up!" ”

"The Ming army is going to attack, everyone hurry up and get ready!" The surrounding generals also burst into tears of joy one by one and shouted loudly.

Such words sound very abrupt at first glance, the enemy is about to attack, as the attacked side actually has a kind of joy that can't cry, at first glance it seems to be masochistic, but in fact it is the true mental portrayal of all the Tartars on the mountain, in the shelling time just now, the Tartars on the mountain finally understood what it means to live like a year, what is called flesh and blood.

Tens of thousands of horses and horses are crowded on the two mountains that are not too large, the original condescending and leisurely geographical advantages have not been brought into play at all, but the entire mountain range has been sifted by the Ming army's artillery fire like a sifting ground, and the hundreds of heavy shield vehicles that have been built with great effort have almost been lost, not to mention, more than 10,000 brave warriors have not even had a chance to fight back and have been blown up by the opponent's artillery fire and suffered heavy losses, Amin roughly estimated that in the shelling of less than half an hour just now, they lost at least a thousand warriors, You must know that these warriors didn't even have time to open the bowstring, so they died helplessly in the artillery fire of the Ming army.

"Woo woo woo ......"

A sound of horns with a sad cry sounded in the mountains, the Tartars who were originally hiding in the corners of the mountains climbed out of their bunkers, and only the remaining more than a dozen shield carts were also pushed out, and the archers also took off their longbows from their backs, and the arrows that had long been soaked in feces were also put on the bowstrings, they were quietly waiting for the Ming army's attack, and many people were vowing to use the bows and arrows in their hands to give those vile and cowardly Ming troops a fatal blow.

Amin and Daishan also walked out from behind the hill under the support of Goshha, Amin glared at the foot of the mountain with almost fire-breathing eyes, and his right hand clutched the hilt of the sword, he was waiting for the Ming army to attack, and then used the long knife in his hand to kill all the Ming soldiers who offended his dignity.

Time passed little by little, so that Amin, Daishan and many Tartars were shocked, the Ming army at the foot of the mountain did not have the slightest sign of attacking, the sergeants in the phalanx sat on the ground one by one, in addition to not being able to move around at will, they could talk and laugh loudly with their companions around them, only the gunners of the artillery battalion were still busy carrying the shells and wiping the barrels with wet cloths to cool them down, as if they were preparing for the next bombardment.

Seeing the movements of those Ming troops at the foot of the mountain, Amin couldn't help but lose his voice and said, "Don't these Ming troops plan to send people to attack the mountains?" ”

"I'm afraid so." Dai Shan's face was gloomy, "Those cowardly and treacherous Ming dogs didn't dare to attack in person before they ran out of shells, but expected to blow us all up with artillery." ”

"What then?" At this moment, Amin no longer has the arrogance that he had half an hour ago, and after seeing the power of artillery, his impression of artillery has changed from disdain to fear.

"I said a long time ago that Minggou's artillery fire is very sharp, and staying on the mountain can only wait for death." Dai Shan gritted his teeth and said: "Since those Ming Dogs want to blow us all up, we must take the initiative to destroy all those Ming Dogs' artillery!" ”

Hearing Dai Shan's old words again, Amin's eyelids jumped. Today, when dividing the troops, Dai Shan sent out the three thousand horse armor and four thousand Mongolian cavalry companies in his hand, and now the remaining horse armor is almost all the people with blue flags, if you really want to attack, they must be the first to take the lead, Amin can't imagine what kind of tragic blow his horse armor soldiers will suffer if they hit the artillery position of the Ming army, even if they can end the artillery camp of the Ming army, I am afraid that there are not a few of their horse armor soldiers left.

"No way!" Amin decisively refused, "I can't let the warriors with the blue flag die in vain, you also saw the power of the Ming army's artillery fire just now, if we really send our warriors to attack, how much will it cost to get close to them, and how many people will have to be killed and wounded to completely destroy them." The inlaid blue flag was originally the weakest of the eight flags, and once these elites finished fighting, the inlaid blue flag would be over. ”

Dai Shan was silent, Amin's words were very straightforward, for the banner owners of the Eight Banners, the soldiers and horses under their command are their lifeblood, the Jurchens are too few, and the population of the Houjin Kingdom today is only a million people, of which the Jurchens are only more than 300,000, and most of the rest are conquered Mongols, Koreans and plundered Han people.

It is precisely because the Jurchens are so precious that it is because Dai Shan will be so heartbroken after losing more than 2,000 elites of the Zhenghong Banner.

Now that Amin said it so bluntly, Daishan didn't know how to answer. He can't say that he can fight, as long as he can wipe out the Ming army, it doesn't matter if he fights the blue flag, right?

The two of them were silent for a long time, and the descendant Shancai sighed: "That's it, Yue Tuo took almost all the vests and Mongolian cavalry with him when he left, and now I still have six thousand auxiliaries and clothed minions by my side, now I will hand them all over to you, and you will send out two thousand horse armor soldiers to rush down the mountain to destroy all the artillery battalions, as long as the artillery battalions can be destroyed, those Ming dogs will no longer pose a threat to us, explain that Yue Tuo will lead the elite to attack the Ming army from behind, and we can wipe out all the Ming troops here."

Think about it, if you can wipe out this artillery battalion. Those powerful artillery pieces are all ours, and if you look at the iron armor of the Ming Dog, I can be sure that all the iron armor is made of fine steel, and it will all be ours when the time comes, don't you want these things? ”

Dai Shan's words exude a deadly temptation like poison, although on the surface Dai Shan and Amin hate the artillery battalion of the Ming army, but if they can take all these artillery pieces into their arms, they are definitely happier than anyone else, and Amin, who has fought for half his life, knows very well that once he can get those powerful and extremely light cannons, his blue flag strength can be improved by at least a few points, which is too tempting for Amin.

After thinking about it for a long time, Amin stomped his foot fiercely: "Okay, I'll listen to you this time, I will mobilize two thousand vests plus your six thousand auxiliaries and coats to launch a full-scale attack on that Ming army, and I will definitely be able to eat that artillery battalion!" But you have to promise me that when we launch an attack, Yue Tuo must kill from the back in time, so that the two sides can completely annihilate this Ming army, otherwise it will be difficult for us to do it alone. ”

"Don't worry!" Dai Shan solemnly agreed: "Yue Tuo and they are hiding less than twenty miles away from the Ming army at the moment, as long as they send a signal here, they will attack the Ming army, so a two-sided attack will be a big deal!" ”

Just do it, the Jurchens' movements are still very fast, just a quarter of an hour Amin transferred the original two thousand vest soldiers, this elite originally Amin was intended to be a surprise soldier and wait until the overall situation has been decided as a killer move, so it was not deployed to the dry grass ridge, but put it behind the dry grass ridge, which dodged the shelling just now, and now after receiving the order, they soon came to the dry grass ridge, followed by the six thousand auxiliary soldiers and coats of the red flag.

The counterattack launched by the Jurchens was somewhat unexpected by Yang Feng, originally he thought that the Jurchens would honestly nest on the mountain and wait for them to attack the city, but he never thought that they would launch a counterattack in a desperate way. However, he did not panic, but immediately gave the order through the walkie-talkie.

"The artillery battalion retreats, and the hollow array prepares!"

"Tiger!"

As the order was issued, the sergeants who were still sitting quietly on the ground immediately stood up, and one by one the hollow arrays quickly took shape, and the artillery battalions that were originally lined up in front of the formation also entered the hollow array under the traction of the gunners.

Seeing that the army had already finished plating, Yang Feng said to Zhao Shu again: "Lord Zhao, please lead the soldiers and horses of your headquarters to line up on both sides of the big array to protect the safety of both sides of the big array!" ”

"If the official understands, you can rest assured!" Zhao Shujiao nodded solemnly, pulled the reins of the horse, and the war horse neighed and ran towards the soldiers and horses of the headquarters.

When the hollow array was ready, the entire battlefield fell into silence, the air seemed to be so nervous that it was about to drip water, as if it couldn't stand the tense atmosphere, the dark clouds in the sky slowly dispersed, and the scorching sun began to pour down from the sky.

Yang Feng squinted at the sun in the sky. At this time, the sun was so fierce, the sun was shining on his thick iron armor, and there was an indescribable heat all over his body. He smiled bitterly and wiped the sweat on his forehead, the weather in Liaodong is really strange, it will be cloudy and sunny for a while, I hope it won't rain, otherwise it will be troublesome.

He picked up the binoculars and looked at the Houjin army in front of him, this army did not rush towards them in a honeycomb, but slowly pressed over in a rhythmic manner, more than five hundred meters away from them had already walked nearly halfway, and the formation was also very scattered.

"These Tartars have learned to be obedient, and they don't even play the Dense Charge set anymore." Yang Feng muttered softly.

In fact, Yang Feng still underestimated the Jurchens, from ancient times to the present, war is the best teacher of mankind, Yang Feng bombarded thousands of people in two consecutive shells, Dai Shan and Amin are too stupid if they can't make changes, although they don't know how to effectively deal with the artillery of the Ming army, but they at least already know how to use loose formations to effectively reduce the lethality of artillery.

"Kill!"

Since almost all of the shield carts originally built were destroyed, Amin simply didn't want these things this time, and instead divided the troops into loose formations. He first put the two thousand vest soldiers at the end, and put the six thousand auxiliary soldiers and the cloth at the front, for the Jurchens, the auxiliary soldiers and the clothed minions are purely cannon fodder, no matter how many deaths they will not feel distressed.

When they saw that the Houjin army rushed to more than 300 meters, the artillery battalion opened fire.

With Qiu Disheng's order, the thirty-six artillery pieces located in the first three phalanxes erupted at the same time, and one after another flowering shells flew into the offensive formation of the Houjin army......
