Chapter 517 The Temple of the Prairie Jackal The Battle of Guangning (4)

The artillery team of the Ponu Army has its own unique tactics against the enemy's strong fortress. Especially Yang Meimei has had practical experience in this regard. Last time, when the Inlaid Red Flag Yuetuo led a large army to attack Ponu City, Yang Meimei's artillery team gave the Jurchen coalition a major injury. For this reason, when Yang Meimei came to the front line, she saw Yang Kui worrying about the artillery team building a position. On this battlefield, the Ponu Army could only stay on the curved mountain road, and the mountain road was built between the halfway mountain. There were strange rocks in the river at the foot of the mountain, and it was very difficult for people to walk on it.

Just when Yang Kui was worried about the cannon formation, Yang Sister, who came to the front line, had a lot of ideas about it. He suggested to Yang Kui: "Brother, don't be sad. There are so many of us and auxiliary soldiers to help. Leveling the river channel is a good cannon formation. Look, the river channel is exactly two miles away from the enemy formation, and it is the best range of my crossbow cannon!"

Although Yang Kui is half a year older than Yang's sister, Yang's sister is old and once was his elder commander. Yang Kui doesn't have much opinion on being called brother. What's more, Zhang Dashui, the Powder Army, is younger, and the oldest commander of the Powder Army, is called brother no matter how older he is. For others, they are all brothers in front of Powder Army, so that the Powder Army commander and the Thousand General officers also learned the title of Zhang Dashui for subordinates, which became an unwritten rule for the Powder Army. However, Yang Kui was extremely dissatisfied with the cannon formation chosen by Yang's sister. The cannon position of the river was good, but the Jurchens chose very clever.

A mile in front of the two enemy high mountain castles, there was a straight and steep ridge. The mountain road turned a corner here, and this big bend just blocked the artillery team's shooting sight. Yang Kui shook his head and replied: "Brother, how can the enemy formation fire artillery be fired below?"

"Brother, I have to tell you the story. The news of the Battle of Zhenhu Fort compiled by the General Staff has been issued to the various war barracks and artillery teams after the war. If you say you don't know how to use the Battle of Zhenhu Fort artillery, Mr. Zhang really wants to hit you! Brother, you won't use the crossbow cannon shooting tactic? You can't see the enemy's formation. The mountain troops can help you see. The mountain troops also have flag speakers. Let them find a place where they can observe the enemy's formation with the scouts. First, use the positioning live ammunition to try slowly a few times, and then launch *."

After hearing this, Yang Kui was ashamed. He had read this article, but when he arrived at the battlefield, why did he forget such practical artillery tactics? Yang Kui bowed to Yang's sister deeply, and did not say much, turning around to lead the artillery into the river. As the main general of this battle, Lu Xiangsheng did not forget the battle of Zhenhu Fort. When Yang Kui ordered the artillery team to establish artillery formations in the river, Lu Xiangsheng immediately ordered the auxiliary soldiers to help the artillery team establish positions on the ice surface of the river, and also ordered the auxiliary soldiers to build a ramp to the river so that the soldiers could camp here.

The Liu Qingshan troops of the mountain troops have been patrolling Qingsongling. When Yang Kui asked the mountain troops to scouts and flag-speakers to act as the eyes of the artillery team, Liu Qingshan certainly did not refuse. He immediately sent the mountain troops to climb and established a 10-meter-wide wooden platform observation point on the ridge. A artillery team observer and the mountain troops flag-speakers jointly formed the eyes of the artillery team. It was with this observation point that Yang Kui's artillery team took live ammunition positioning towards the Jurchen defense line in front of the ceiling.

Observing the gun team through the artillery team is a big difference between locating live ammunition by the gunner. The last time the Zhenhubao artillery team fired accurately, thanks to the artillery team's accurate shooting position before the Jurchens came. This time the artillery team had to fire the dangerous weapon "*", which also made the artillery team cautious in shooting. Fortunately, the Slave Army was not in a hurry. Yang Kui could fire live ammunition in three groups in groups to determine the accurate target of the strike. It was not until it was dark and the observation post could not see the point of the gun being positioned clearly, and the artillery team stopped positioning.

The next morning, Yang Kui slowly determined the target of the attack. When Yang Kui asked Lu Xiangsheng for advice whether he could attack, Lu Xiangsheng ordered Tianxiong Battalion to be prepared for attack. When Lu Xiangsheng ordered the numerical cannon to ignite the cannon and ordered Yang Kui's artillery team to shoot. Yang Kui still followed Yang Sister's advice and carried out ordinary* shooting first to verify the actual combat effectiveness of the positioning ammunition. The Breaking Slave Army artillery team this time did not cause the enemy's counterattack. The Jurchen Han Army Flag Artillery Team was bombarded by the *.

Although the traitors of the Han army flag were hiding in the solid fortress during the artillery attack, the Han army flag traitors hid in the solid fortress without causing much casualties, the precise busy artillery bombardment of the Fiery Army still left a deep impression on them. Seeing the bullet points given by the observation post, Yang Kui ordered the artillery team to replace it with "*". Yang Kui, the commander of the artillery team, of course, knew that "*" must be used in a concentrated manner to achieve the best effect. When the main gunner of the Pound Army who was wearing a anti-virus mask raised his hand to signal to stop, Yang Kui raised the flag and waved it down suddenly.

Four hundred * dragging the blue smoke, rushed to the two mountaintop castles of the Han army flag. As white phosphorus was detonated by high salt, a charming fire rose among the thick white smoke. In the castle, the traitors of the Han army inlaid blue flag, when they heard the explosion of the Ponu Army above their heads, the new recruits were still mocking the power of the Ponu Army*. However, there were many veterans in the Han army inlaid blue flag. They were soldiers who participated in the Battle of Ponu City inlaid Baishan. They immediately reacted that the Ponu Army used the vicious "*".

Earlier, the Jurchens did not know what the name of the "*" of the Pou Nu Army was. With the spy from the Ming Dynasty, the Jurchens finally figured out the name of the secret weapon of the Pou Nu Army. Although the Jurchens knew the name of the "*", there was no way to crack the "*". The Ming traitor veterans only realized that no wonder the Pou Nu Army slowly fired live ammunitions for repeated positioning, just to win the decisive shelling. The Ming traitor veterans with the strongest fighting spirit discarded their weapons and rushed out regardless of the situation.

The veterans of Ming treacherous had seen the "*" of the Pou Nu Army on the battlefield. If they waited foolishly, they would not know how to die. But they had no chance. The poisonous smoke from the "*" fired by the Pou Nu Army had already enveloped the entire castle. The slowly swimming smoke was like Bai Wuchang coming from hell, searching for all life in the castle with crackling fire. Even the rats with the strongest vitality in the granary in the castle and the little strongmen in the kitchen could not escape the fate of death.

More than 4,000 Mingzhi and their Jurgent master's officers in the two castles of the Han Army's Inlaid Blue Banner, foamed at the mouth and bleeding from their noses under the attack of the Ponu Army's "*", and turned into maggots that could only twitch on the ground. The castle at the lower vents also received poisonous smoke. Most of the officers and soldiers of the Han Army's Inlaid Blue Banner who were stationed here also coughed and dizzy and lost their ability to resist. After waiting for half an hour, the thousand soldiers of the Ponu Army's Tianxiong Camp carefully arranged into several small teams to rush through the dangerous mountain pass and attacked from the top of the mountain behind the castle.

They encountered no resistance along the way and successfully arrived inside the fortress. A few remaining fires were still floating on wooden objects. When they saw the ground swaying around the ground, twisted and transformed human corpses, horse corpses and thousands of rats due to excessive pain, the new recruits couldn't help but exclaim. The two thousand soldiers in Tianxiong Camp did not suffer any casualties, and easily solved all the soldiers of the Han army's blue flag on the 6,000 defense line. This result made Lu Xiangsheng both sigh and nervous. If Marshal Zhang had ambitions and wanted to be the emperor, and with the powerful weapon of "*", the suffering of the Ming Dynasty would not be far away.

When the Slave Army easily broke through the first line of defense that the Jurchens were painstakingly deployed, it caused great fear within the Jurchens. Although the Han army's blue flag Bele Dudodo was only thirteen years old this year, he was named Bele by Nurhaci because of his mother Abahai's love, and he was also Bele who had real power in leading troops. With this alone, Dodo was also the youngest leader Bele among the Jurchen Bele. Dodo had participated in many wars with his father Khan and his brothers since he was a child, but he has always been a so-called role.

Otherwise, Du Du set his child at the front line, and Duoduo did not notice anything unusual and arranged the city defense. After Duoduo arrived at the front line, he personally led the guards to inspect the defense line of the Han army's blue flags many times. Even if Duoduo didn't know much about defense, he could see the solidity of the Qingsongling defense line. After Duoduo inspected, he believed that the first line of defense arranged by the Han army's blue flag could at least stop the 100,000 Possess Army from fighting for at least half a year. Unexpectedly, he was easily captured by the Possess Army in just three days.

The panicked Duoduo hurriedly found two deputys, Meleezhenjutsu, Aldai, and Duoduo's two deputys. Meleezhenjutsu is the fourth son of the five ministers Huerhan, and Aldai is the second son of Anfeyanggu. They are both rising stars who grew up with Nurhaci's battles in the south and north. Nurhaci assisted these two young talents during his lifetime, and considered that Duoduo was too young to convince the public, so these two veterans on the battlefield took charge of the military.

Among them, Aldai was a veteran who participated in the Battle of Baishan. At that time, he was only the Jurchens inlaid with red flags, and Aldai knew very well how the Jurchens were defeated in the Battle of Baishan. In Aldai's opinion, Zhang Ping'an, the commander of the Pou Nu Army, was actually an outstanding figure of strategy. The Jurchens were defeated by the grassland fox wolf. From the heart, Aldai still respected the Jurchens' opponent, and the Jurchens also learned many new tactics from their opponent Pou Nu Army.
