Chapter 297: Welcome Party
Huang Sheng learned about the camping site with the yellow flag, and took his military attachés to investigate the field, and saw that the location of their camping was too close to the big river, and the range of the six-pounder rifled field gun on the south bank could completely hit the camp of Jiannu, and the distance was only more than three miles.
Although shooting at the maximum elevation angle is not accurate, such a large camp will make them cry and cry for their mother!
The owners of the yellow flag are here, so you have to say something! The Huang family and horses systematically learned the Jiannu military system, and they all knew the logo of the Jiannu banner, and now they all know that Jiannu came to a small Baylor called Azig. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Huang Sheng decided to hold a grand fireworks welcome party at night, and the soldiers under his command were all grinding their fists, especially Ma Shihu's men and horses were the happiest, and they followed Lord Huang for a few days and each of them got two months' military salaries, and they had meat to eat every day.
The Nekhalkha people were also very happy, each of their cavalry actually got three taels of silver, and the cattle and sheep in the tribe were sold for a good price, and they were originally going to give it to the admired Lord Huang, who knew that the strict military discipline of the people did not take a stitch from the common people in vain. Be sure to pay according to the price.
Although Ma Shihu and Qing Ge Tai were not able to pay their subordinates, they had no chance to deduct them, but they had no opinion, because Lord Huang gave them a reward of three hundred taels of silver each.
Later, they found out that the officers of the Huang family did not drink the blood of the soldiers, but only took the silver they deserved, and finally knew why the soldiers of the Huang family were heart-to-heart with the officers.
Ma Shihu and Qing Getai knew about the military operation at night, and they both came to ask for the cavalry to steal the camp and rob the village after the artillery fire, and they told Huang that the morale of his sons was high and they all wanted to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions.
It's a pity that he was rejected by Lord Huang, and he played a sneak attack at night, and the possibility of success was there, and the casualty rate was a blessing if he exchanged one life for one life, so the bloody battle exploits Huang Sheng didn't want to.
Even if the more than 3,000 cavalry here are not their own troops at all, because if they agree to Ma Shihu and Qinggeltai to build slaves at night, they will be greatly injured, and it is not good to say whether the two main generals can come back alive.
It is impossible for Huang Sheng to fight a fundamentally unpredictable battle on the premise of a stable chance of victory.
Huang Sheng and the two of them analyzed several possibilities of the night attack, affirmed their courage to fight, vetoed their request, and let them sleep to recuperate. At night, it was not about attacking the enemy at all, but about having some fun with that little Azig Belle.
The dog personally led his subordinates to take advantage of the night to move the artillery carriage silently in place, which was also skillful, and the artillery and auxiliary troops were often trained during this period of the exercise of arranging artillery on the south bank. Huang Sheng had long had a plan to take advantage of the geographical conditions of the big river to kill and injure Jiannu.
Huang Donghai is a disciple of Lord Huang Sheng, down-to-earth and hard-working, good at learning, since becoming an artillery commander, with his subordinates to study and practice hard, not only to improve the gunner's shooting level, but also with those gunners who have changed from musketeers to gunners to summarize a set of tips for training artillery.
It can be seen from this that Huang Sheng's approach is right, artillery should be a knowledge of the army, where is the 'king of war' who is illiterate to serve, these young people who have studied with Huang Sheng for more than two years really live up to expectations and become a new generation of artillery, and in the future, the Huang family team and the enemy are talking with artillery.
Dog's loyalty is 100%, now he has a wife and a concubine, his wife is Zhao Rui's matchmaking, is from Wang Gongchang, a gunpowder craftsman's daughter Cheng, smart and studious, now can write will be counted as doing things under Zhao Rui, the dog's house on Huangjiawan Island is only a few steps away from the Huang family, and the two families come and go frequently.
After training with new and old gunners for half a year, the dog finally got the opportunity to fight, and he was a little excited, and his sixty gunners came, all of whom had small notebooks and were ready to make on-site records.
Azig, who knew nothing, did not know that the Ming army had artillery that could quickly pull and transfer positions, and even less that such artillery could hit three miles away, and he was destined to be unforgettable tonight.
It's possible that this kid is unlucky and killed, and he doesn't know who the shells are beating blindly, but it's a pity that only three rifled guns can hit that far, and seven smoothbore guns can't.
Azig is the son of a wild boar skin, and he has been following the old slave to rob and kill people since he was a child, and he has been a senior butcher for more than ten years. Just because he was illiterate doesn't mean he's an idiot, on the contrary, he has a set of soldiers.
There is nothing wrong with choosing the high ground next to the official road and the big river, where the view is wide and conducive to observation, the drier here is conducive to the health of the soldiers, and the proximity to the water source is convenient for people and horses to drink.
The rules and regulations of the large camp he set up did not underestimate the enemy in the slightest because he did not find the enemy situation along the way, and at night the bright posts and secret sentinels and the ambush army sent more than a dozen groups, which were arranged until five miles away, and the cavalry patrols by the river were endless.
Azig thought that the atmosphere here was strange, and he did not slack off at all, and checked the post three times during the night, thinking that the arrangement was impeccable, and only returned to the big tent and clothes to sleep after the second watch.
It can be seen from this that generals who often fight wars are quite cautious to be able to live for a long time, but unfortunately due to the limitations of knowledge, Azig Little Belle could not think of the Ming army being able to hit his camp by firing artillery on the other side of the river.
On the fourth watch, it was the time when the human body's biological clock was the most sleepy, three six-pounder rifled guns roared, and the three flowering shells fell into the camp of Jiannu and immediately exploded, Huang Sheng only heard the people on the other side shouting that the horses were neighing and making a mess, but unfortunately the rifled guns were too slow to reload and could not give Jiannu the maximum damage one after another.
Azig was in a deep sleep, and when he heard an explosion, he got up, felt the sword that he had always kept by his side, and ran out of the tent, only to see the wolves in the camp.
At this time, he didn't know what was going on, but this kid had been on the battlefield for a long time, reacted quickly, and immediately realized that he wanted to let his subordinates form a formation to prevent the enemy from stealing the camp while the chaos was in chaos, and he immediately raised his arms and shouted: "Don't panic, sons, don't run around and follow your Niu Lu Ezhen formation." ”
At this time, a personal soldier reported: "Lord Belle, it seems that the artillery shells of the Ming army have entered the camp." ”
At this moment, three more shells flew into the camp of Jiannu and exploded, more than a hundred steps away from Azig, Azig finally knew the direction of the Ming army's artillery, and said to his subordinates: "Go north and take a hundred steps to form a formation, and Takba, you will take Benbele's personal soldiers to the direction of the Ming army's artillery." ”
Takba is a Bayara, and he is also the personal army of Bashikuguan with his master. The rate of fire of the Ming artillery was relatively slow, and the blind fire of the black light was obviously a blind fight.
The main general waved his sword and shouted loudly, and many of the frightened Jiannu came back to their senses, and after a short period of confusion, the formation of Niu Lu was lined up in two columns and five rows.
A Ala-e-zhen reported to his master: "The formation is complete, please ask Lord Belle for instructions." "The Jiannu cavalry who slept and stared in a daze didn't know what to do in formation?
Lord Belle didn't answer, just glared at the big minion, waited for you, and instructed a fart! The Ming army fired two more rounds of artillery, and Azig understood, and the Ming artillery shells seemed to be unable to hit his position.
Tucker, who soon went to the south of the camp to investigate, came back, and he reported: "Lord Belle, the artillery of the Ming army is on the other side of the river, there are three, and the minions don't know how deep the river is, and they don't know whether the war horses can cross the river, and it is too dark, so the minions didn't cross the river to find out." ”
Azig said: "I can't hold on tonight, and I will plan tomorrow during the day, you did the right thing." ”
