At dawn, seven large ships docked steadily at the Fisherman's Wharf in Jinzhou, which is usually where fishermen go ashore. The water is very deep and there is a ready-made wharf.

"Get off the boat, get off the boat! Set up a defense line, set up a defense line!" Ao Canghai shouted urgently as soon as the ship docked.

The musketeers and one hundred brothers led by Mangui rushed down from the ship quickly. The busy dock suddenly became chaotic. The musketeers ignored this and quickly formed a defense line in three rows.

Then the springboard was set up, and ten torsion spring trebuchets were transported down. After the huge wheels were installed, the trebuchets could be moved by the runners.

The Tatar camp is not far from the dock, about two or three miles.

When all the people on Li Xiao's side disembarked, the sun came out over there. The fiery red sun coated the sparkling sea with a layer of golden light. Li Xiao had completely occupied the dock, and several people who helped the Tatars manage the dock

The rogue has been beheaded by Man Gui. Now his head is hanging on the flagpole of the pier, waiting to dry!

"Blow the horn!" Li Xiao ordered, and someone blew the horn.

Today we are going to have a head-to-head fight with the Tatar soldiers in broad daylight.

The people responsible for guarding here are under the banner of the Han Army. They were originally Jurchens, but in their long life, their living habits have been Chineseized. In the past, they were called mature Jurchens. After Nurhaci captured Fushun, there were many such

Mature women really joined Houjin. Nurhaci organized them into a special banner and was responsible for local defense.

Tong Yangzhen, who was killed by the Mangui formation, was under the banner of the Han army.

The Han flag guard guarding here is called Wei Daman. There were originally 600 people in his village. But today, 200 cavalry came from Anshanyi, with the purpose of escorting the thousand taels of gold sand produced by the gold mine to Shenyang.

"Sir Zhen, those people opposite seem to be the Ming army. It looks like there are three to four hundred people. Let's rush out and kill them. When the Khan is happy, maybe he will give us a reward."

"Well! We now have a total of 800 people, which is twice as many as the other party. Mr. Hezhe, what do you think?" Wei Daman turned his face and asked Hezhe beside him.

He is Gushan Ezhen, but he does not dare to offend the Niu Lu in front of him. He is just a Han military flag, and he is a serious banner of Zhenghong. Their Niu Lu is worth more than his Ezhen.

"Hmph! The Ming army wants to go wild at this point. Mr. Wei, just stay here. I will take my subordinates out and defeat them with a single charge. There is no need to be afraid of the Han people's muskets." He Zhe said very confidently.

"Uh...! Wei is still helping Lord Hezhe to raid the formation, and you and I will attack together." Wei Daman cursed Hezhe in his heart. This is a blatant attempt to grab the credit. You have killed this group of Ming soldiers, so what credit is there for you?

That’s bullshit for me. On my territory, can you still take the credit for me?

"In that case, let's follow Mr. Wei." He Zhe responded and went out to summon his subordinates.

I have all cavalry under my command, but most of your Han bannermen are infantry. I don’t believe that your two legs can outrun my four legs. By the time you run over, I will probably have killed all these hundreds of people. Don’t think that this is the case.

It's your land, so I don't dare to take your credit? Although the red flag is not as good as the yellow and yellow flags, is it still afraid of your Han army flag?

The gates of the walled city suddenly opened to both sides, and two hundred red flag cavalry galloped out. They only adjusted their formation slightly at the door, and before Wei Daman's Han army flag infantry had completely left the city, he led the cavalry and rushed over.

Although Hezhe wanted to take the credit, he was not stupid. As Niu Lu under the banner of Zhenghong, he was also a battle-hardened man. The cavalrymen just trotted at first and slowly approached the enemy. When they were about two miles away from the enemy, they began to

Slowly let go of the horse's speed. He wants to charge with the best horsepower. The Ming army's team is like that! It will collapse as soon as it charges, and the next step is to chase. If there is not enough horsepower, how can it be done?

"Fucking bastards, hurry up for me. No need to form a team, just rush! Rush! Rush! Rush! After a while, all the meat was eaten by Zheng Hongqi, and we can't even drink the soup!

"When Wei Daman saw that He Zhe didn't wait for him and took the lead in charging, he was so angry that his head was smoking.

He hurriedly urged his subordinates to charge in a chaotic manner. According to his experience, the Ming army would be overwhelmed in just one move. If they were really late, they wouldn't even be able to get a single head. A piece of fat meat would be right in front of them for others to eat.

How could he be so willing?

I also want to be promoted and make a fortune!

"Steady! Steady! You can shoot only when you hear the order. Whoever shoots in the head first." Li Xiao's voice-changing cock crow sounded in front of the Ming army's formation.

New recruits are most likely to be nervous in their first battle on the battlefield. In a tense situation, as long as one person shoots, the next person will shoot. The accuracy of matchlock guns these days is basically non-existent. Although in theory,

It can hit more than a hundred meters, but it is extremely difficult to accurately hit the enemy at this distance.

Ao Canghai held the knife tightly in his hand. He also knew that this time was very dangerous. God knows whether these soldiers could withstand it!

Mangui licked his lips excitedly and stuck the sword in his hand on the ground. Now he wanted a horse very much. As long as there was a horse, the Mongols would not be afraid of anyone.

Li Xiao swallowed and licked his lips. His eyes were fixed on the local cavalry. He stretched out his fist in front of his right arm and raised his thumb high. This is a simple trigonometric distance measurement method that all artillerymen need to learn.

.

Close! Closer!

The sound of the galloping cavalry's hooves was like thunder, and the roaring sound was like rolling thunder. Two hundred red-banner cavalry came galloping with smoke and dust rising into the sky, and the heavy horses' hooves hit the ground so hard that it trembled.

"Trebuchet! First group! Release!"

"Trebuchet! First group! Release!"

Li Xiao roared loudly, and Ao Canghai repeated it next to him. The loud voice actually drowned out the sound of rolling horse hooves!

"Bang! Bang! Bang!...!" The five shooters in the first group smashed down the mechanism with their wooden hammers at the same time.

The five ignited cannonballs flew over with smoke rising, and within the range of a torsion spring trebuchet. They could only send something weighing thirty kilograms a distance of about two hundred meters.

But...! This distance is enough!

Li Xiao's range measurement was very accurate, and the cannonballs exploded in the cavalry team. The huge explosion power caused the triangular nails to scatter in all directions, turning them into the most terrifying weapon.

Hezhe felt that countless small objects were hitting his armor, and he was not worried at first. He wore cotton armor captured from the Ming army on the outside, but there was a layer of chain armor on the inside. On the battlefield, even the Ming army's crossbows could be fired directly.

Liveable.
