Chapter 169 Breaking the cauldron and sinking the boat
"No! I can't just wait for death!"
Looking at the people in front of them who were arguing and still not discussing a result, Li Lutai said ruthlessly.
He is also a descendant of the general family.
His great-grandfather Li Chengliang, how majestic he was back then?
Back then, his great-grandfather and his eight thousand servants were all scattered throughout Liaodong, and all the powerful enemies were afraid of being avoided.
At that time, it was the most glorious time for the Li family in Liaodong.
But later, with the rapid rise of the Later Jin Dynasty, after the death of his great-grandfather Li Chengliang, the Li family began to decline.
Later, even after his grandfather Li Rubai died, the Li family was even more in a slump.
Until his son Li Yongfang and Fan Wencheng surrendered to the Later Jin Dynasty together, he was still able to survive in the Later Jin Dynasty and gradually recovered some vitality.
Fortunately, at the beginning of this year, the Great Khan Huang Taiji suddenly began to form the Eight Banners soldiers of the Han army, and their family was once again valued.
He, his elder brother and his father were appointed by Huang Taiji as the lord of the Eight Banners of Han, and he was truly glorious.
However, everything will turn back when extremes, and the tragedy will come soon.
I have just completed the formation and have just equipped the personnel and military equipment. The white flag in the inlaid, which has not yet been trained, has been pulled to the battlefield and used as cannon fodder!
At this time, Li Lutai was very unwilling to accept it and was quite frustrated.
He originally thought that in front of the Tartar master, he would also gain a founding official like founding fathers in the future and carry forward the Li family!
Indeed, it wasn't this guy who was thinking about it.
Historically, after Li Rutai replaced the Ming Empire and unified the Later Jin Dynasty, he really achieved the position of governor of a province, which was extremely awesome.
It was only later that Emperor Qianlong demolished the bridges and included the Li family on the liquidation list, and it was completely lost.
At this time, Li Lutai thought about it for a long time, but when he saw everyone in front of him, he was still clueless and in a mess.
Finally, when I saw that everyone really couldn't come up with a good solution, I could only use the old method.
They sent people to go to the temporary military camp and searched for logs and vehicles, almost cutting off all the trees in the nearby mountains, and quickly pieced together some large wooden shields or large shield vehicles.
Although today's battle has shown that armor of this level cannot block the enemy's shells.
However, if you hold these big wooden shields or large shield cars in front of your body, even if you can't block the shells, you can at least block the gun bullets.
These traitors led their men to work hard for half a night, and led the craftsmen who followed the army to build all kinds of big wooden shields, big shield chariots and other things all night.
Fortunately, those craftsmen with superb skills were all craftsmen of the Ming Empire who were captured by the Tartars. They were very skilled in doing this kind of woodworking work and did not delay the time for completing these utensils.
Li Rutai and the Han army's generals who had white flags inlaid, had many tricks.
During the night, in order to exhaust the enemy, they continued to send cavalry to harass the defense line of the Imperial Guards Arms Brigade of the Ming Dynasty.
If they want to use the strategy of exhausting the enemy, they will be mentally exhausted, and they will be listless, so they will easily make some low-level mistakes.
But how could the soldiers of the Royal Guard be together?
As the saying goes: If the bandits can come, I can go.
The commander of the brigade Huang Jingyi immediately sent a scout brigade, with the twenty sharpshooters, assisting the scout brigade in batches, and still launched a night harassment and raiding war against these soldiers of the Eight Banners of the Han army.
Overnight, both sides were having a great time fighting.
In order to prevent the Jianttar army from attacking at night, the soldiers of the Royal Guards lit a bonfire at a distance of about 150 steps outside the defense line.
As long as the Tartars dared to appear outside their front at night, they would immediately shoot at random, kill and injure them, and repel them.
The Eight Banners soldiers of the Han army and the numerous Baoyun slave soldiers were the opponents of those sharpshooters and the elite scout soldiers who were armed to the teeth?
After working hard for a night, I didn't pay much attention to the loss.
At the time of the rays, these soldiers of the Han army's white flags launched two or three hundred large wooden shields or large shield chariots from the camp and placed them in front of the two armies.
Then thousands of soldiers of the Inlaid White Banners of the Han Army from the Eight Banners were sent to attack the defense line of the Royal Guards' Arms Brigade under the cover of the large shield chariot.
When the two sides fought several intermittent fierce battles, the brigade commander Huang Jingyi personally led the troops and easily repelled the Tartars' offensive.
In the evening, in front of the two armies, there were piles of scattered large shield chariots and a large number of large wooden shield wreckages everywhere.
Dealing with these big wooden shields and big shield cars has long become the specialty of the Royal Guards.
Artillery can use them as targets, aim directly, and knock them off with one shot.
The soldiers of the artillery battalion used to practice aiming and shooting.
Therefore, these large shield chariots and large wooden shields will not have much effect on the soldiers of the Royal Guards.
It just allows Jiannu's soldiers to consume some ammunition and medicine resources from the Guards' artillery battalion, and sometimes they can get closer to the defense line of the Royal Guards' Arms Brigade!
Then, the Eight Banners of the Tatars army dropped thousands of corpses and many minor and serious wounded soldiers in front of the Guards' Arms Brigade.
In addition to these losses, their biggest gain was to intensively lay out several rows of arrows towards the defense line of the Royal Guards.
These attacks put some pressure on the soldiers of the Guards Arms Brigade.
However, this is of no use.
Because the distance is too far, most of the arrows fell in front of the Royal Guards' Arms Brigade's position and were already shaking and had no lethality.
Only some heavy arrows were shot out by the strong archers of the Tartars, which injured several soldiers in the Guards.
Of course, these powerful archers of the Tartars were immediately furious by the sharpshooters of the Guards, killing them one by one.
Seeing this battle situation, Oboi and Yue Tou were so angry that their heads were smoking, and they gritted their teeth and sweared to kill all these damn, young Ming New Army baby soldiers who looked very young.
But this vow is just that, the two of them were so bad that they had no temper at all by these baby soldiers.
Although the soldiers of the Royal Guards Arms Brigade were not too strong in defense, they effectively restrained the cavalry offensive that the Tartars were best at.
Moreover, relying on this simple defense line and their sharp firearms, they were like a fire-breathing hedgehog, which made the evil dog Tartars, unable to speak out.
"No! If we delay the battle like this, it will not work at all!"
Oboi, who is in charge of supervising the battle, is now anxious.
He was very anxious and restless now.
Although I have not received any reward from the scouts sent out, there are any attacks from the new Ming Dynasty army on the remaining fronts.
However, he, who is extremely sensitive to the battlefield situation, has been terrified since then.
This is more than just a few!
Even my eyelids were jumping involuntarily!
Although he couldn't figure out the enemies on the other side, why didn't he take the initiative to attack?
But the longer the time passed, the more uneasy he became.
There must be conspiracy and plot!
Now seeing the soldiers of the Eight Banners of the Han army working all night and launching battles continuously, but in vain, Oboi was really anxious and red.
"Yoto, Namutai!"
Oboi thought for a while, and suddenly shouted loudly at the two commander-level generals beside him.
"I think it's better to fight to the death!"
Oboi came up with his own thoughts, "Contact Anshan Post in the rear and draw the remaining 7,500 warriors of Gushan clansmen and tribesmen!"
"Also, let those coat slaves bring enough arrows and woodworking materials to create a large number of large wooden shields and large shield cars. We will rest and launch a night decisive battle against these damn Ming New Army tomorrow night!"
He knew that at the time of the white period, the enemy's firepower was too strong, and it did not look like the cannon explosion or the ammunition was insufficient.
In this way, if you want to attack the opponent's defense, you will go to death for many soldiers.
But the night is different. With the cover of night, the whole army attacked together. Under the crushing of 100,000 troops, the opponent's simple chest walls and trench defense lines could not stop the army's advance at all.
In that case, it should, perhaps, or perhaps, capture the enemy's position in one fell swoop.
As long as the Lierao defensive positions are broken, the result will naturally be that the elite cavalry warriors of our side will launch one-sided killings against the new Ming army.
Seeing that nothing can be used to do, Oboi turned to the idea of breaking the attack at night.
At night, it is a natural protection for the Tartars and the traitor brigade.
Even if the Ming New Army raised a bonfire outside the defense line, its sight could not be far away.
This is relatively beneficial to the Tartar side.
"I think it's OK!"
Namutai thought for a moment and expressed his approval.
Indeed, it would be too much pressure to spend so much time with the other party.
No, just the 100,000 troops here, every money and food consumed is a huge number.
However, there are many gold, silver and treasures in the Later Gold, but there is a shortage of food and materials.
This is our own territory. Even if the soldiers are robbing everywhere, they are still their own people. There is no way to grab much, and it cannot solve the urgent problem at all.
He didn't think so much, but just looked at the problem from the most realistic perspective.
"Okay! I immediately ordered all the soldiers in the Anshan Post area to be dispatched, and even those coated slaves should be added."
"Two, this time there is really no way out. We must succeed in one battle!"
Yue Tuo didn't care about his warriors in front of red flags, and how much losses would be after this battle.
This level in front of you must be overcome as soon as possible, otherwise the situation will inevitably get worse and worse.
The resolution of the three leaders' group had been made, so they dispersed and became busy.
Chapter completed!
