Shao Tingda couldn't help it, the news of the attack of the Western Army had already delayed the meal of his banner army, seeing that their small cannon could not damage the barrier, what else would they have to eat if they didn't take advantage of this time to eat?

You can't go until night, you'll be hungry.

Adhering to his brother Chen Mu's concept that he always wants the flag army to eat well, even in the process of fighting, Shao Tingda is not willing to let his subordinates starve, his flag army not only eats when the Western Army artillery attacks, but after dark, Chen Mu also specially sent someone to order hundreds of households to add a meat dish to the front-line flag army.

Spicy sautéed cactus with bison meat.

All the local materials were taken, the giant bison brought by Magui from Majiagang were slaughtered in three, the onions and peppers that could be harvested from the Spanish plantations were received in the port warehouse, and the cacti everywhere were all used to make the flag army feast.

The herds of bison running all over North Asia were a good thing, but unfortunately there were too few, and Magui's fleet only brought a dozen bison that were caught in traps and tied up, and this large and ferocious animal hunt was not difficult for the army.

Two hundred years ago, Mu Ying used three rows of firecrackers to shoot war elephants in Yunnan, which proved that no matter how big the animals in this world are, they can't fight against hordes of humans, which is like a nonsense - even hordes of humans can't deal with hordes of humans.

But it's hard to catch, and it's even harder to domesticate.

Chen Mudu plans to resume training in the Oriental Military Mansion, just on the northern grassland, eating beef every day, it is difficult to think about not being strong.

"General Lin is behind the Western Army?"

If the Spaniards' thunderous and small attacks still made Chen Mu a little worried about the situation, then he didn't panic at all after he got the news that Lin Manjue sent someone over the mountains and mountains.

However, the information sent by Lin Manjue was also mixed, although Bernal said that he had 10,000 soldiers in the pre-war persuasion, neither Shao Tingda, who commanded the garrison at the front, nor Chen Mu, who commanded the garrison at the rear, believed that the Western Army really had 10,000 soldiers.

Kelin Manjue's news proves this statement, Bernal really gathered an army of 10,000 people, but it had the opposite effect, Chen Mu's staff led by Zhao Shizhen laughed at Bernal even more.

"10,000 people, handsome, he only has four small Francos machines for 10,000 people, and he blew up two!"

In this garrison battle, Zhao Shizhen danced more happily than anyone else, and Chen Mu heard him re-mention the thunderbolt he designed on the day he reported in the Xu Da Temple in Juyongguan.

"Marshal, if our army has thunderbolts at this time, we only need to put thirty brackets on the barrier wall, and when the enemy army comes closely, put two hundred guns between the lightning and flint, supplemented by six hundred banner troops to shoot in turn, even if its thousands of troops rush forward, they will be repulsed!"

"Don't really say it." After Chen Mu found that the Western Army did not have large-caliber heavy artillery, he returned to the port building, retracted his gaze looking out the window at the quiet night, and said to Zhao Shizhen: "I found that Chang Ji, your ability to talk about soldiers on paper is getting higher and higher. ”

Zhao Shizhen was right, if there were dozens of multi-barreled thunderbolt armed front-line flag troops, two on each side of each section of the barrier wall to form crossfire, not to mention that the rate of fire alone could scare the Western army back.

"When this battle is over, I will allow you to build your Thunderbolt in the Ordnance Bureau, I didn't think about it before."

Chen Mu propped up the windowsill and pouted: "I didn't think that we would be on the defensive side." ”

The attack did not require such a heavy weapon that affected mobility, or it was complicated to make, which was not suitable for Chen Mu in the era of the Minister of Nanyang.

Artillery solves everything, and if not, add a little caliber.

Even now, Chen Mu thinks that this concept is correct, but if there are some thunderbolts, they can help a lot in some battles.

The fire from the distant canyon caught Chen Mu's eyes in an instant, causing him to pause his breath suddenly, and almost instinctively reacted to hammer his hand on the window railing, and blurted out: "They dare to fight with me at night, crazy?" ”

Before he finished speaking, the sound of cannons like thunder in the sky came, making Chen Mu understand that it was their own artillery that was sounded.

And judging by the voice, it is very likely that the twelve Zhenshuo generals in Shao Tingda's hand bombarded together, and they didn't even shoot the school, and they all blasted out.

If it was an artillery, even if there was an echo from the canyon, it would be difficult to hear what the sound was in Chen Mu's position, and he would only feel a little movement, but Shao Tingda had many heavy cannons in his hand, which was enough for the port to hear clearly.

The artillery is powerful, but the artillery placed next to the artillery is not so decent, on the other side of the canyon, the artillery with cotton stuffed in the ears orders to light the fuse with the gesture of the hundred households, and the next moment dozens of people shouted 'ah' with their mouths wide open, threw themselves to the right, and turned into the trench bunker next to the artillery with the standard Ming artillery drill maneuver.

Some people are even acting, unloading their strength as early as when they fall down, or rolling in the dirt pit as standard.

Then, the moment the cannon was discharged, a huge wave of air stirred up the surrounding dust, and the smoke and dust reverberated wantonly in every corner of the artillery position, and the twelve shells roared 600 paces away like an overwhelming sound.

The shells did not hit anyone.

Fu Yuan was frightened.

During the day, Shao Tingda hid behind the barrier wall for a day, and when it was dark, Shao Tingda went to sleep, he came to take over the duties of the front-line general, and stood idle outside the barrier wall and urinated in the direction of the western army's station, but found that there seemed to be a huge shadow in the distance in the darkness moving slowly to this side, lying on the clean ground with his legs crossed, and he heard the sound of the wheel turning in the distance.

Frightened, he didn't even bother to lift his pants, and immediately ordered the artillery to open fire.

It was not that the Ming army was unprepared to deal with the night attack of the Western army, although everyone, including Chen Mu, believed that the Western army would not necessarily launch a night attack - in this era, the cost of a night attack was too great.

Even in the Beiyang Army, which had excellent food, there were at least 20% of the flag army that could not be seen ten paces away at night, not to mention the Spanish army, and their food could not even catch up with half of the Beiyang Army.

He knew what it was, only the strange and bulky thing would make a loud noise when it was pushed on the ground, and the huge shadow hidden in the darkness, which could only be the only catapult that brought heavy damage to the Ming ship.

Fu Yuan never thought that the Spaniards would be crazy enough to bring this thing to the battlefield in the canyon!

That would have stoned them all to death!

In fact, when the Ming artillery was fired, the stone artillery had just been pushed to a distance of 800 paces, and the carefully selected night attack troops did not go within 800 paces, and it was impossible for the Ming artillery to hit anyone.

However, the sound of the 12 guns still inevitably affected the situation on the battlefield.

The troops of the night raid thought that they had been discovered, and the merchant guards who pushed the stone cannons did not dare to push the guns any further, and in a panic, they set fire to the cannons, and the huge stone projectiles blasted almost three hundred paces against the ground, and then slid and rolled on the ground until they came to a stop in the middle of the battlefield.

With the roar of stone artillery, four companies of Spanish soldiers launched a night attack on the Ming position!
