The heavy arrows of the Houjin soldiers and the flintlock pistols of the Joan navy represent the highest level of mid-range attack of cold and hot weapons on the Asian continent of this time and space, respectively, and each side pulls the trigger (releases the bowstring) to decide the life and death of the other while waiting for fate to judge itself.

The sound of gunfire drowned out the sound of bows and arrows breaking through the air, and the battle was instantly decided.

After closing the distance, more than a hundred heavy arrows were almost missed, and the soldiers of the cavalry battalion, who had no armor to protect them, were pierced by the powerful arrows, and fell backwards heavily, and they could not survive; In the face of ten times the firepower, the Houjin armor soldiers could not avoid it, and almost everyone was hit by three or four or even five or six short guns at the same time, no matter how thick the armor was, it could not resist the kinetic energy of the lead bullets, and the dense rain of bullets turned them into bloody people covered in bullet holes.

After the smoke cleared, Ma Wei saw that there were no living people standing on the opposite side, so he immediately made a decision and ordered: "Hurry up and get on the horse and retreat to the east!" ”

He knew how much excitement killing more than a hundred True Tartars would cause to the enemy commander, and he would definitely be met with frenzied retaliation and pursuit, so the only option was to retreat.

The soldiers put away their short guns, and before they had time to take away the corpse of the robe, they hurriedly mounted their horses and headed east, rolling up a puff of smoke and dust.

Abatai and the others watched the battle in the rear, feeling like a metal storm that swept up their more than 100 men, stunned for a moment, and then became furious: "Damn Nikan, you can't let them run, chase me!" ”

Arslen dissuaded: "Lord Belle, the Han people have a saying called poor Kou Mo chasing, these people are powerful, it doesn't work if there are fewer people, and it's not cost-effective if there are more people, not to mention that we entered Shandong without authorization and delayed the time to go north to join the division, and the king of Wuying County will blame ......."

Abatai was feeling sorry for the elite of half of his bull, and there was nowhere to vent his anger, just when Arslen, the general of the defeated army, was sent to the door, and he didn't want to think about it, so he pulled out the horsewhip and threw it over with a "snap", and whipped it on his arm, the cloth on his sleeve was torn, and a bloody mark appeared on his arm.

"These Ming dogs are powerful, why didn't you say it earlier, and wait until the warriors of the blue flag go up before you speak?"

Arslen covered his arms and retreated, not daring to say anything more. But he was very unconvinced in his heart, and he wanted to add no excuse to the crime, obviously he had reminded him that this Belle Lord was not the same thing, and he lost his temper when he suffered a loss, and he also regarded himself as a scapegoat.

Gartu was also a little distressed, these people were his direct subordinates, everyone was a warrior who had experienced several battles, and after losing these people, he didn't know when he would be able to fill the gap. But seeing Abatai whipping Arslen, he felt that it was not appropriate, the Great Khan attached great importance to the relationship with the Mongolian tribes, not only married with the Horqin Department, but also incorporated the tribes that had surrendered earlier into the Eight Banners, this Arslen was the Mongol commander with the white flag, and he was beaten for a small matter, and he was punished for a big matter in the ears of the Great Khan.

He hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Abatai's whip and persuaded, "Lord Belle, now is not the time to pursue this. Minggou has already run away, whether to chase or not, how many people to send to chase, you have to get an idea......"

Although Abatai has a low status among Nurhachi's many sons, because of the relationship between his concubines, he has been fighting all year round, and his military command can be regarded as the best among the beyles, county kings, and princes, and from the skirmish just now, he saw the problem, so he said without hesitation: "Chase, and it is the whole army chasing!" ”

Gartu was taken aback: "The whole army is pursuing? Is it necessary to have a thousand dogs? ”

"You know what! My Dajin has entered the customs several times to fight, and the Ming army in the pass is all local chickens and dogs, and no one can stop the edge of our army, why did Shandong suddenly emerge such a force? Although these people are not many in number, they are by no means alone, and there are backers behind them, and we must find out who exactly trained such troops. This army is strictly disciplined, orders are forbidden, it can shoot at our army without changing its face, everyone rides horses, comes and goes freely, today only a thousand people can slaughter me and retreat calmly after a hundred, what if it is ten thousand people? ”

Galtu understood what he meant. In the past, as long as the Ming army's bird soldiers saw the Houjin army approaching, they would shoot indiscriminately from a distance, and the arquebus was slow to load, and when the Houjin armor soldiers rushed up, it was a one-sided slaughter. This strange horseback cavalry soldier can calm down, wait until the right distance to shoot, and have the courage to shoot at close range with the Houjin armor soldiers, and after the fight, they can also escape immediately with the help of the war horse, set strong firepower and good mobility in one, such a force If there are tens of thousands of people, they can not only attack the Houjin army head-on, but also use mobility to cut off the retreat of the army, so that the Houjin still dare to calmly enter the pass and plunder?

He thought thoughtfully: "What does Lord Belle mean: to destroy this army before it grows stronger?" ”

Abatai showed a hideous expression: "There is no room for such an army in the territory of the Ming Kingdom, except for those cowards who only dare to watch us pass by on the city wall and dare not go out of the city to face the battle, the army that can fight and dare to confront my Dajin will all have to die, not a single one will be left!" ”

Gartu was in awe: "Lord Belle is thoughtful and has a long-term vision. Presumably, King Wuying knew your hard work, and he wouldn't say anything. ”

Abatai called Arslen, who bowed his head and was silent, over: "Give you a chance to make meritorious contributions." Just now I saw that those people's horses were already a little out of strength, and they couldn't run fast, so you led people to follow and show the way to the army. Remember, you can not attack them along the way until you find their lair. ”

Arslen replied in a muffled voice: "Obey!" "Stand back and gather your men.

A moment later, a large group of Mongol cavalry left their camp and pursued in the direction of the retreat of the cavalry battalion.

Dengzhou, barracks construction site.

Lin Weiye looked at the fortress that was nearly completed, and a sense of pride and accomplishment spontaneously arose in his heart.

The fortress in front of you is not the Xibei goods that were built in a hurry to ram the earth, it is a real star-shaped concave polygonal castle, no matter who comes to attack, it will be exposed to the fire of 2-3 fortress surfaces, and when defending, you can use crossfire to strike at the besiegers, and there is no shooting blind spot in the traditional sense. With the blessing of the Qiong Navy's firearms troops, the combination of crossfire + stable output is basically an insoluble existence for the enemy without heavy artillery.

From a certain point of view, the original intention of the design of the fortress is not to blindly pursue defense, but to better output and suppress the firepower of the besieging party. In the offensive and defensive battle of the city, attacking the traditional square city requires several times more troops, and the powerful firepower of the fortress is enough to resist the attack of the enemy with 10 times or even a hundred times the cold weapon, it is no exaggeration to say that Lin Weiye carefully built this fortress-style barracks covering an area of 10,000 square meters, which can contain enough troops to match or even exceed the Dengzhou City within a radius of dozens of miles and the high wall of the city.
