Chapter 192: The Siege of Millions, The Great War Begins (6)

The Tartar offensive troops in the middle of Baishan Command Post and the troops in the south did not take action. It seems that Lao Nu is here to test the attack today. He wants to find out the focus of the future attack or the main direction of the attack in the future.

Zhang Ping'an disagrees with Nurhaci's method of tempting attack. He believes that since it is a tempting attack, it should not be a joke. He should do his best to make full preparations and put all the siege tools together to achieve the temptation effect.

Then we can find out the shortcomings in the attack. The old slave's behavior is obviously a rich man with great family and great business, and he is even more ignoring the lives of soldiers.

It took Zhang Ping'an a long time to figure out why Nurhaci did this. Judging from Nurhaci's previous attitude towards the Han people, Huang Taiji's military merits were still in conflict with him. He wanted these treacherous traitors to try their best to die.

After he goes back, he will plot against Ding Shoumu. I guess the Ming traitor who has made military achievements may be promoted by him, so the others should be refuted.

But these stupid Dan Mingtie, who were kept in the dark, were still dreaming of dividing the fields and dividing the land. He left the camp early in the morning and had no food to eat, but his morale remained unabated and he still charged forward with such a desperate attempt.

From this moment on, Zhang Ping'an's heart had a rough outline of how he dealt with Ming traitors. He withdrew his thoughts and looked at the battlefield. The Ming traitors' troops were still three hundred feet away from Dingnu City and stopped to rectify their formation. He found out the training level of the Ming traitors' troops.

From this point of view, most of the Ming traitor troops have never been on the battlefield and the officers have insufficient ability to command troops. If he had not ordered the test of the tactics, these Ming traitors would be the best targets for crossbows.

He also found that when the Ming traitor troops marched only about ten feet, their formation began to become uneven. Moreover, the Ming traitor troops did not have the ability to adjust their pace during the marching.

Zhang Ping'an immediately ordered: "Record! The Jurchen traitors have a high will to fight. But they have the following weaknesses. There are serious flaws in formation training. If you don't have a team within 50 meters, the formation will be incomplete. If you don't stop reorganizing the team within 150 to 200 meters, the entire formation will be completely disorganized. They will not adjust their pace while moving. They will only stop the whole formation after the formation is scattered. This conclusion is sent to each offensive force and copy the commanders of the defense group."

Gu Xin, who was watching the battle with a telescope, nodded. From this moment on, he truly understood why General Zhang asked all the troops of the Poufu Army to focus on training their standing postures from the beginning; walking in unison and stepping on the spot; adjusting their pace according to the command while marching; turning left and right while marching, these monotonous and boring basic subjects.

It is precisely with these foundations that the formation of the Brut Army can be maintained intact no matter how far it travels. The formation is one of the most critical factors in winning in war.

In this way, whether it is an attack or a retreat, the Po Slave Army can exert effective team advantages during the march and give the enemy the greatest damage.

"Order Zhang Li's troops to leave me some surviving officers!"

Zhang Li, who was commanding in Dingnu City, was still a little nervous. After all, the Jurchen troops, the military camps and millions of troops that stretched for hundreds of miles were not calm. Of course, except for Marshal Zhang.

After receiving the latest instructions from Mr. Zhang, Zhang Li immediately summoned the 100 magic shooters equipped with rifled muskets to his side. At the same time, Yang Mei, deputy chief of the artillery team under his command, also called over.

Yang Mei, deputy chief of the artillery team, is ranked fifth at home and is originally from Liaoyang. She has a lot of kids at home, so her parents gave him a very female name. He is also one of the 32 wounded soldiers treated by Shuai Shuai himself.

"The general ordered us to leave an officer's survivor for him. I said to Sister Yang, you can hit the cannon immediately. Drive the silver armored armored La Ezhen to the city. Remember to fire the muskets, divide it into groups, Liu Tiehu, you are responsible for the kicking, don't be hurt. The others will kill all the people around him."

Zhang Li's order made Liu Tiehu a little embarrassed. He claimed to be the number one sharpshooter of Zhang Li's army's Eagle Camp. But he was not sure at all sixty meters away. Commander Zhang said that this was the command of the Grand Marshal. He could only nod and execute it.

Yang Mei nodded and took the order. Zhang Li called him nickname in front of so many people, which made him helpless. Sister Yang's nickname was the first to call Zhang Dashuai. As a result, the people who knew him in Po Nu Jun called him Sister Yang, but his real name was so small that there were not many people calling him.

The Han army, who organized the attack, had the red flag of the Han army, and the more worried he walked forward, he became more and more worried. It is said that the range of artillery of the Ponu Army exceeded three miles, so why didn’t the Ponu Army shoot artillery?

He did not ride a horse today because he was afraid that the war horse and his weight would collapse the ice layer on the thin ice. He would have no chance to escape.

In addition, the wooden pile barriers set up by the Fury Army on the lakeshore also made riding more dangerous. He looked at Dingnu City and felt a numb feeling in his heart.

The terrain of this city is so good. The bedrock under the city wall is three meters high outside. The wall is five meters away from the bedrock. In this way, the ten meters high city wall cannot be close to the marble on the wall without a twenty-three meters long ladder.

But today he only brought a thirteen-meter-long ladder, and his soldiers had to climb up the vertical bedrock to reach the base of the wall. No wonder this city did not build a moat.

What made him even more strange was that the five hundred musketeers and seven hundred archers who were covering the siege were all ready, and there was no movement from the enemy.

He could only attack in the east, and the gate of the city was on the west, and the terrain was also low. But a collapsed pit on the west indicates that there would be many mechanisms there. If he attacked in the south, he would be attacked by the Posou Army on both sides.

On the north side of the city, according to the scouts' reward, there were piles of rocks. The rocks continued to the bottom of the city wall. They could not be arranged at all. Zhenyi Le Damona also saw from a distance that there was a circle of tall wooden platforms around the city wall. There were crossbows on it, but why didn't the Slave Army fire?

This circle of wooden platforms is three feet taller than the city wall and is covered with black soil. It seems to be for fire prevention. Just as he was anxiously observing, the first wooden ladder of his army finally set up on the wall.

At this time, a black stone dragged white smoke and dropped it from the city wall. The explosion of "Boom!" kicked off the battle.

Zhang Li stood on the fifteen-meter-high podium in Dingnu City and looked around. The podium with almost no dead corners allowed him to give various orders calmly.

"Ballad fires!"

"Fire the musket at the Tartar archers! Grass! Fight the enemy musket first! His grandma's, don't throw it around!" As soon as he ordered the flag bearer behind him, he played the flag words. Of course, the swear words were directly omitted by the flag bearer.

When the sound of muskets sounded in sequence, the cover troops attacking the Tartars were given special attention. The walls of Dingnu City were strange, with serrated exterior walls covered with dense shooting holes. Each hole had three musketeers, shooting alternately.

In comparison, the musketeers on the walls are much more risky. The bows and arrows of the Tartars covering the troops can often hit them. However, the composite helmet of the Blazing Army has good defensive performance, which resists the invasion of arrows.

Only five or six unlucky soldiers were killed by enemy muskets. When the muskets downstairs focused on Tartar muskets, this kind of sacrifice was immediately reduced.

Yang Mei directed the crossbows, focusing on attacking the Tartars' cluster targets. He deliberately left ten crossbows to form a shrapnel blockade behind Zhenyi Le Damona. Forced Zhenyi Le Damona, who was commanding from afar, had to move the command position forward.
