Chapter 77 The White Rod Soldier
A crossbow arrow like a black cloud capsized down.
Several Baijia Bayalas were shot on the spot and fell to the ground.
Zahatu's eyes were so fierce that he saw this scene. These were the most fierce warriors under his command.
Because it is often necessary to behead the Donglu at a level of 100 to become a red-armored soldier, and among the red-armored soldiers, they can only become a white-armored Bayala.
There are only thirty or fifty white armored soldiers in one armored slaughter.
Each casualty of a white-armored soldier is a huge loss for Zahatu, which means that his position among the Eight Banner nobles will be affected.
So, now he was very heartbroken when he saw these Baijia Bayala fall to the ground by arrows.
The commander of the Ming army, Yuan Keli, saw these white-armored Bayala fall to the ground, and the Ming army on his side still has a neat lineup and its morale has not yet been released, so he feels much more at ease.
As a Beijing official who had never established a battle formation, Yuan Keli actually didn't understand why His Majesty the Emperor suddenly asked him to replace Yuan Yingtai as the governor of Liaodong.
But Yuan Keli was a serious official, so serious that when he was a Suzhou prosecutor, he dared to offend the powerful and powerful ministers such as the Chief Secretary. Therefore, when he learned that he had become the governor of Liaodong, he carefully understood the situation in Liaodong and also knew what role he should play as the governor of Liaodong.
Yuan Keli understood that it was impossible for the court to directly abolish the governor of Liaodong, because even if he trusted Xiong Tingbi very much, it would be impossible for Xiong Tingbi to have no one to check and balance, but to hold the military, political and financial powers of Liaodong alone.
And he, as the governor, cannot restrain Xiong Tingbi too much when checking and balancing him.
In this regard, Yuan Keli also carefully studied Xiong Tingbi's strategy, supported Xiong Tingbi's strategy, and even deepened it, and actively suggested that he lead his troops to disturb Jiannu's nest.
The reason why he volunteered was not that Yuan Keli liked to lead troops to fight was that he felt that he was a governor in Liaodong, and even if he tried his best to avoid the dispute over the governor, he could not completely avoid conflicts in details. After all, one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers.
Therefore, Yuan Keli took the initiative to ask some troops to go out to fight a mobile war with Jiannu.
Xiong Tingbi is in charge of Liaodong to coordinate and dispatch.
In this way, the two tigers can cooperate with each other without meeting each other, defending and attacking each other, which is naturally the best.
Xiong Tingbi also understood Yuan Keli's meaning, so he agreed to Yuan Keli when Yuan Keli asked to take some elite troops out to attack Jiannu.
After all, Yuan Keli's purpose of sending troops is different from Yuan Yingtai's.
In order to steal the limelight from the strategy, Yuan Yingtai blindly expanded his troops to recover lost territory and completely wipe out the Eastern Captains.
Yuan Keli asked the Minister to give permission and took some elite troops out, not to recover lost territory, but just to find an opportunity to cut off the Jianlu head and give the Minister a record, and to avoid staying in one place and causing two tigers to fight.
Let's turn the words back.
But when he met the Donglu and fought against him, Yuan Keli was still a little nervous at the beginning.
But now after seeing several white armored soldiers in the East Lu, Yuan Keli, who was much more at ease, took back his hand tightly holding the sword handle and calmly ordered He Shixian: "General He, let your artillery fire. When the White Armored Donglu turned around and came back, use the cannon to hit his horse's belly!"
Yuan Keli had already agreed on tactical arrangements for combat with Qin Liangyu and He Shixian in advance.
In order to achieve the military training requested by the Emperor Zhu Youxiao, Yuan Keli agreed with the two generals that the guest army brought by Qin Liangyu's troops would serve as the front army and fight against the Donglu first, while He Shixian's Liao cavalry would serve as the central army and rear army, protecting both wings and carrying out the final work.
After the battle, the first level and achievements are divided equally.
This will prevent the conflicts between the host and the guest armies after fighting against the Eastern Barbarians or the refusal to cooperate because of the battle with the heads.
Fortunately, He Shixian and Qin Liangyu were both generals with a sense of overall situation and ambition in the world, so they both followed Yuan Keli's arrangements.
Now that Yuan Keli gave He Shixian the order, He Shixian hurriedly agreed: "Yes!"
At the same time, He Shixian also added a bit of strangeness to the civil servant who came from the capital. He could not admit that Yuan Fuchen's mind was very fast, and he actually thought of using cannons to hit the horse belly of the white armored Donglu.
The Ming army artillery was improved by the Folang machine smoothbore gun, and the accuracy of the smoothbore gun was not very high.
Therefore, it is easier to hit the horse's belly with a larger target with cannon than to hit the white-armored Donggu on the horse.
Yuan Keli has obviously begun to take the initiative to think about how to better cause enemy casualties during combat.
"Let the cannon! Hit the white armored Donglu on the mount and the belly of the horse!"
boom!
boom!
boom!
Shortly after He Shixian's words fell behind, the artillery on the Ming army had also started firing, and the shells hit the belly of the white-Argy Bayala mount, who was turning his horse's head.
Suddenly.
The white-Argy Bayala mounts who escaped the shooting of the white-Argy Bayala because of their superb riding skills were hit by a bleeding hole, and blood splashed. The mounts also fell to the ground from the side, and the neighing sound was very tragic. The white-Argy Bayala immediately fell to the ground.
More than a dozen Baijia Bayalas successfully returned to their main business.
Either being shot dead by crossbows or fell to the ground.
Moreover, some Baijia Bayala who fell to the ground began to spit white foam on the ground because of poisoning crossbow, and was in great pain.
The Ming army's Baigan soldiers had already accelerated to advance under Qin Liangyu's order. They stepped on the foaming Bayala's bodies, holding a hook and sickle spear, spreading like a giant beast's fangs, and rushing towards the Donglu heavy armored infantry who were also attacking the advancing opposite.
Zahatu watched his more than ten white-armored Bayalas drowned in front of him, and gritted his teeth and shouted: "Snap forward! Shoot heavy arrows!"
For a moment.
The arrow feathers swam into the sky like a spirit snake.
"block!"
Qin Minping shouted loudly.
The white-rod soldiers knelt down on one knee in front of the ranks and raised the vine shield. The vine shield was raised in height in sequence, forming a slope to block the heavy arrows shot.
Sometimes arrows passed through the vine shield and caused casualties in the white-rod soldiers, causing sporadic screams.
But most arrows still only pass through the vine shield, rubbing out sparks, then change their trajectory and fall down.
The white-rod soldiers in the front row had already heard the sound of Donglu's shield car.
Crunched.
Many Donglu Jian armor hid behind the shield chariot and continued to shoot heavy arrows at the white pole soldiers.
At this time, Bai Gan Bing moved out the ten turtledove guns purchased from Nanyang that Zhu Youzhaozeng gave to Qin Liangyu.
The turtledove gun weighing more than 20 pounds began to poke its head out of the White-Steel Soldier camp, and then pierced a shield car opposite with a bang. The screams of Jiannu Bu Jia suddenly came from behind the shield car.
After the ten turtledo guns penetrated the Donglu's shield chariot, the Donglu's offensive weakened a lot. Some infantry and armored soldiers dared not hide behind the shield chariot anymore and began to dodge to both sides, causing the formation to become crowded and chaotic, and the heavy arrows shot gradually became fewer.
