Chapter 105: The Decisive Moment

Jin Yiwei commanded Luo Yangxing to start turning the clouds in the court, taking advantage of Emperor Chongzhen's renewed trust in himself and attacking political opponents. The Tiger and Leopard Army, which is far away in Mushroom Valley, happened to usher in the most tragic battle since the founding of the army.

After 5,000 infantry followed, Dolgon finally advanced the battle line to the foot of the Mushroom Valley wall.

Looking at the battlefield where the feet were almost red with blood sacrifices, the corpses of the infantry and the soldiers everywhere, and there was no place to even put their feet. The grim expression on Dolgon's face didn't change in the slightest.

In his eyes, the lives of the 5,000 infantry followers were as if they were not lives, and a word could make them disappear.

Facing the wall in front of him, which was no taller than a battle, Dolgon's face was cold, the Tartar generals around him looked fanatical, and the thousands of infantry behind them followed with a look of fear.

Looking at the mushroom valley in front of him, which had devoured thousands of colleagues, it was like seeing a hungry wolf with its mouth wide open and two long fangs, full of fear.

If it weren't for the thousands of Tartars around them bending their bows and arrows, aiming the iron arrows that emitted the cold light of the forest at themselves. These fearful infantry followers who have been killed by the Tiger and Leopard Army are likely to collapse directly on the battlefield and become a group of routs.

Of course, Dolgon, who had already regarded the Haw Pars as a 'thorn in the flesh', directly ignored these scenarios.

After taking a deep breath, he ordered with a majestic face: "Don't stop attacking, immediately launch an attack on the fortifications of Mushroom Valley, and strive to take Mushroom Valley before dark." ”

The dense infantry, driven by the Tartars with bows and broadswords, reluctantly marched towards the front line of the city wall.

Facing the waves of people outside the city wall, even if they had already killed thousands of enemies on the battlefield, the faces of the soldiers of the Tiger and Par Army who were holding the city wall became solemn.

Zhou Shuyuan, who was standing behind Wei Zheng's side, subconsciously let out an exclamation: "Five thousand infantry are rushing up, and the Tartar Dolgon is planning to attack and take Mushroom Valley..."

"General, five thousand infantry are served, and the strength is several times that of just now, is the blocking battle fought according to the fighting style just now..."Wang Feng, who also looked solemn, asked.

After a strange smile flashed from his face, Wei Zheng spoke: "What's the matter, seeing the five thousand infantry serving, is everyone's heart empty...."

"Although the forces of the Tartars are several times stronger than just now, the positions we hold are also several times stronger than just now. Don't forget, what we are treading on is not just a trench, but a wall that is as high as a battle. ”

"In addition, let's analyze it carefully, after losing 5,000 infantry in a row, the remaining 5,000 infantry is already the limit of the Tartars. As long as we can pass through the wall at the foot of Guò to stop a round of Tartar attacks, and in this round of attack, we can deal a devastating blow to the enemy, especially the five thousand infantry driven by the Tartars. ”

"I can tell you with certainty that the five thousand infantry followers who are already terrified of us will surely collapse on the battlefield without a fight. When the time comes, these 5,000 infantry will not only not have an impact on us, but if we are lucky, they will in turn impact the Tartars behind them and help us launch a counterattack against the Tartars......"

"How is this possible, the Tartars are the masters of these infantry followers, and this concept and thinking has been deeply ingrained in the hearts of every infantry followers. No matter how fearful they are in their hearts, it is impossible to create an opposition to their masters..."Zhou Shuyuan, who was influenced by traditional culture, first raised his doubts.

After seeing the suspicious eyes of several people converge on him again, Wei Zheng explained thoughtfully: "I don't know if you still remember what I said before the war, as long as the infantry followers are more afraid of us than the Tartars, the infantry followers will make their masters rebel..."

"Think about it again, what weapons do we have in our hands that can deal a fatal blow to the infantry followers at a critical moment, so that the fear of the infantry followers for us will suddenly increase, and they will turn their masters against us."

"Explosives bag..."Wang Feng, who personally commanded the night attack and experienced the huge power of the explosion of the explosive bag together, his eyes lit up, and he exclaimed first.

Wang Feng's exclamation also caused Zhou Shuyuan's memories of the battlefield that night.

An explosive bag exploded, and all the soldiers within the radius of the battle were lifted to the ground and turned into corpses.

Of course, in addition to the terrifying and amazing lethality of the explosive pack, the explosion of the explosive bag like thunder is absolutely an unprecedented shock to the enemy on the battlefield.

Thinking of this, the worry on Zhou Shuyuan's face was immediately covered with expectation. replied to Wei Zheng: "General, you can give it a try..."

"The more than 10,000 catties of explosives captured from the Tatar artillery team were less than 2,000 catties, and even if we took out 5,000 catties of explosives at one time, it would not put too much pressure on our explosives reserves..."

"General, if you use explosives packs, I also agree....use explosives packs to infringe infantry at critical moments to destroy them. When the time comes, in the face of the earth-shaking explosions, in the face of the devastating lethality brought to them by the explosives packs, and the fear of our followers by these infantrymen, they will surely launch a counterattack against their masters with fear, just as they did that night. ”

The solemnity on the faces of several subordinates disappeared, and was covered by high morale, and the confidence on Wei Zheng's face became even stronger.

After watching the thousands of infantry who were getting closer and closer to the city wall outside the mushroom valley and were preparing to carry soil to fill the trench outside the city wall, Wei Zheng ordered with a fanatical face: "Then what are you still doing in a daze..."

"The division, under the unified command of the musket battalion, the artillery battalion, shoots the enemy from a distance, and kills the enemy's living forces as far as possible before the Tartars approach the city walls. When the Tartar archers appeared, they concentrated their fire on killing and suppressing the archers..."

"Battalion Commander Wang Fengwang, after the enemy enters the range of the spear, immediately command the spear battalion to throw the spear at the enemy..."

"If the infantry and the soldiers can still get close to the city walls, they will still be ...... with wooden rolling stones."

"Battalion Commander Zhao Yun Zhao, you have a total of two tasks: first, immediately go to the back warehouse to bring out two thousand catties of explosives, and make two thousand two-pound small explosive packs. When it is done, it will be sent to the city wall...."

"Second, command the cavalry battalion, the recruit battalion, and prepare for a counterattack..."

"Neither your cavalry battalion nor the recruit battalion has ever seen blood, has not experienced it. War. And taking advantage of the victory to counterattack is the best way to train the soldiers, so you must grasp it well..."

"Yes, General.," the three men replied with the same fervor.
