Chapter 7: Jinzhou forcing peace (1)

As Xiong Tingbi expected, You Shilu had just found a good ambush site and buried less than half of the mines on the road that must be passed. The explorer sent out rode his horse and rushed to report. Ten miles away, an elite cavalry of the Later Jin Dynasty was rushing toward the mine-burning road. Because it was in the darkness before dawn, the explorer could not see how many troops there were, because the opponent was just lit up with a few torches in the front and could not see clearly behind.

As he was speaking, a thunderous sound suddenly came from his ear, which was the sound of horseshoes stepping on the hard land. After listening carefully, You Shilu identified from the sound of horseshoes that this cavalry should not exceed 5,000 people. He had fought with the Later Jin for many years. If he could not judge how many troops the other party had from the sound of horseshoes, he would not be a qualified general.

The three thousand iron cavalry, led by Suksaha and Oboi, galloped towards Jinzhou. Three thousand war horses and 12,000 hooves took turns to move the darkness before dawn. The sound shocked You Shilu and the land under the feet of the seven thousand Ming soldiers were trembling slightly.

"Here, General You, look!" Cao Wenzhao excitedly pointed at the few churning torches that appeared in the army's sight from far to near, and softly whispered to the chief general You Shiludao who was facing each other.

"Good come. In the battle in front of Shanhaiguan, the boy Man Gui stole the first prize and used the new landmine cannons given to him by the emperor. This time, I should be angry!" You Shilu said a little jealously. Last time he was trapped in Ningyuan City, and he was so angry that he was so angry. After Ningyuan rescued the siege, he was about to vent his anger and fuck him. Unexpectedly, the court actually negotiated with Hou Jin tortoise. He was so frustrated that he had no place to vent his anger. Finally, he took this opportunity to teach these turtle sons of Hou Jin a good lesson. Our Ming Dynasty is not something you barbarians who eat raw meat and drink blood.

"General You, we are all infantrymen. You can't take us up and fight against the cavalry head-on!" Cao Wenzhao said.

"You are only capable, I don't understand this common sense. Brother You. Fortunately, you are not my subordinate now, otherwise you would have beaten you twenty military sticks!" You Shilu turned around and followed Cao Wenzhao's chest with a muffled fist.

Cao Wenzhao was caught off guard and was fisted, and grinned slightly in pain: "General You, don't mind, the mark is temporarily assigned by you, isn't it your subordinate?"

"Boy, you are pretty good at talking. Who did you learn from? I will teach you how many tricks you have when you have time. Brother You, I am a rough man. I will learn to learn about the lady Zhao tomorrow. When you move your mouth, you will rise straight up." You Shilu joked.

"Goodbye, General You, if you let General Zhao know what you said, you must fight with you!" Although the army is of strict hierarchy, they are all brothers who come out of blood and fire, and they value feelings the most. Although You Shilu is different from Cao Wenzhao, he has fought side by side on the battlefield, otherwise he would not have asked him to come temporarily from Man Gui. The two have a private relationship, and it is not sad to make such a joke.

"Yes, Madam Zhao has become a tough guy Zhao now, and she has been much more taciturn recently, which makes Dan Lao You look at him with something wrong. And you, Lao Man, have something wrong recently. I heard that he was ordered by the Grand Marshal to study at home!" You Shilu couldn't help but shook his head and sighed.

"Old You, I'm sorry, I'm rude." As soon as Cao Wenzhao said that, he felt a little confused and quickly apologized.

"Oh, just shouting that, it doesn't matter. You and I are lying on the grass now, without any distinction between ups and downs." You Shilu seemed to be happy.

"Okay, then you're welcome." Cao Wenzhao didn't give in and said, "Have you heard that, the emperor intended to open a military academy in Tongzhou?"

"I have heard of this. Is there any problem?" You Shilu asked with his head raised.

"This..." Before Cao Wenzhao could say anything, he saw that the Jin vanguard was getting closer and closer to the minefield. He hurriedly stopped the conversation. Both of them were extremely nervous. Cao Wenzhao had seen the power of the new mine cannon, so the main general You Shilu was slightly nervous than him, because he still had a little doubt and doubt about the new mine cannon. All Ming generals who had never really seen its power had this doubt, especially from cold weapons to fight.

Excessively fighting with hot weapons are two different combat theories. Although the Ming army has been applicable to hot weapons for more than two hundred years, the combat ideas of most generals are still almost intact on the rushing of cold weapons. In the battle of Shanhaiguan, Xiong Tingbi used hot weapons to fight with hot weapons to sound the bell that cold weapons were about to withdraw from large-scale military operations. Its significance has a milestone role, and Xiong Tingbi has therefore become one of the greatest military strategists of the Ming Empire.

Seeing that the vanguard of the Later Jin had entered the minefield, You Shilu nervously asked Cao Wenzhao, who was beside him. Cao Wenzhao shook his head at him. He had to wait until the Later Jin team entered the minefield before he could pull the thunder string. This would make the result even greater. Cao Wenzhao, who had experienced, would naturally be three more calmer than You Shilu.

The reason why You Shilu asked was because of his distrust of the new weapon of mine cannon, and he believed that war should be close contact, and both sides fought to the death, and of course they did not rule out trial strategies, etc. The subsequent results completely overturned this understanding.

Most of the three thousand elite cavalry of the Later Jin Dynasty entered the minefield. At this time, the sky was already dark and they could see the winding roads clearly. Some of the Later Jin cavalry who were walking in the front had already walked out of the minefield and could not wait any longer. Cao Wenzhao signaled You Shilu to order the strings to be pulled.

With Cao Wenzhao's order, a fierce explosion sounded in the ambush area. The war horses were instantly blown away, and the people on the horse's back naturally had no reason to survive. Although these war horses had received some training to deal with sudden sounds, the explosion was too loud and the lethality was not small. The cavalry of the Later Jin Dynasty could not control the horror of the war horses under their crotch. They suddenly fell on their backs and suffered countless casualties.

"Fire!" Suddenly, the fire guns in the Ming army's hands and the Franchise continued to shoot at the Eight Banners of the Later Jin who were rushing to the wolves and rats in the explosion. They were all lying in the grass. Relying on the cover, it was difficult for the enemy to hit them if they wanted to hit them back. It was simply a one-sided massacre.

After the explosion, You Shilu himself was shocked and was shocked by the tragic situation after the explosion of mines. This was simply a massacre. These Jin soldiers had no power to fight back at all, which was incredible!
