Chu Maolin believes that the current Erlintu on the front has fortification ditches and carved buildings that do not require so many troops, so only 300 musketeers, 600 grenadiers and hundreds of trebuchets are left as long-range

After killing and wounding, there were still 3,000 soldiers with spears and swords and shields left. On the other hand, Hewan's troops were weak, and they still faced an army of 20,000 Tatars, and Hewan was in danger.

Just when Chu Maolin divided Erlintu's troops into two and assigned artillery to help defend the river bend, the scouts came to report that the 20,000 Tatar soldiers had been dispersed in many directions, and the main force of the Tatar Chinese army was on the loose leaf.

Wusu stopped, and another group of 5,000 Tatar cavalry attacked Gaojiabao.

Zhang Zijun didn't know how many Tatars there were in Wusu, but he knew that the Tatar forces had been dispersed, which calmed his heart a little.

The current Tatar soldiers are not much better. Although the outgoing cavalry robbed many things and more than 300 young and strong people and livestock, these "trophies" are just a burden.

In the past month, King Yibu Lain, who had been in Wusu, felt the power of the Ming army's firearms. The only way to defeat the enemy was to underestimate the enemy. Therefore, King Yibu Lain did not confront the Ming army head-on, and used scattered guerrillas.

Using his tactics, he gained many trophies, and we look forward to more gains from Taijibrodo.

Let’s talk about the little Tatar prince’s invasion of Datong this time. He could not conquer it for a long time and harassed Kaiyuan, Ganzhou and other places. After returning home with plunder and plunder, the eunuch Shu Jing slandered him and said: “This Yu Zijun, the Minister of the Ministry of War, was in the governor of Yan.

Sui

At that time, we built "eleven castles, fifteen side piers, seventy-eight small piers, and eight hundred and ninety-nine cliff villages", but they failed to resist the invasion of the Tatars. It was really a waste of people and money...

Wang Shu Shangshu, Shangshu of the Ministry of War in Nanjing, said: "If our government wants to defeat the invasion of the little Tatar prince, it will use Zhang Zijun's sharp firearms. We hope that the court will vigorously manufacture fire guns for border defense."

At this time, Zhu Jianshen was a little worried since the Yinlong incident. To deal with the invasion of Tatars, you have to wait and work together. The city wall has been built for a certain amount, and the money allocated every year is already difficult. It is also a waste of money to develop firearms.

, where did the imperial court come from so much money? It must first settle down the internal affairs before going abroad. Then he ordered the ministers to cultivate their professions, saying: "When a ruler governs a country, he must first find talents;

When people and ministers assist in governance, they must obey the law. Since Emperor Taizu Gao started his business, over the years, he has been civilized, timid, and martial arts. He often plays wildly and indulges in unrestrained behavior, and his deeds are exposed. I am afraid that you do not know how to be vigilant, and you will be famous.

If integrity is not upheld and meritorious deeds are unknown, how can the country rely on it? I am hereby specifically admonishing you to serve the public and abide by the law, in order to express my intention to seek virtue and rule. If you dare to be stubborn and continue to do the wrong thing, I will never forgive you."

Wang Shu, the Minister of the Ministry of War in Nanjing, is old. Resign from office and go home. Well, what is Yu Zijun, the Minister of the Ministry of War, doing in Datong? Return to the court and become an official! And Zhang Zijun, the governor of Yansui, does not guard Yulin properly. Didn't I give him a

Ping'an Town? Then remove yourself from office and go back to Ping'an Town to stay well.

Damn it, this sap beating shocked the government and the public. It made the chief ministers go home to discuss the carriages a few years ago and made them mad. Zhang Zijun was innocently shot. The three people dismissed this time were all "veterans" from three generations of the past dynasties.

Although Zhang Zijun has no disciples and former officials, and there are only a few in front of him, Wang Shu and Yu Zijun have disciples and former officials all over the world, including Shang Ren.

These are all official families. In ancient times, the emphasis was on one person becoming an official, and the whole family's chickens and dogs ascended to heaven. It is said that all the members of Wan Guifei's family today are officials, and even all their servants are officials. Wan'an is the postmaster with a salary and supervises the affairs of Qian.

Wan Xiang was appointed as the commanding officer, and Xu Da, the servant of the Wan family, was appointed as the commanding officer, and could be hereditary. Ding An, Wan Tai, and Wang Xian were also granted the title of Hundred Households.

With the death of Shang Ren, Wang Shu returned home, Yu Zijun became an official, Zhang Zijun resigned, Nanjing's Minister of Household Affairs Chen Jun became an official, Nanjing's Minister of Punishment Song Qin became an official, Nanjing's Minister of Industry Hu Gongchen became an official...

Regarding such changes in the imperial court, before the documents were sent to Yulin, the defense battle in Hewan also started. This was the first attack by the new army that had just formed from Yulin. Zhang Zijun told Ji Cong that the best defense was to take the initiative to attack.

Although the New Army has a small number of personnel, it has five new artillery pieces that can shoot farther. Therefore, it is the best target to build a defensive camp like the Chinese army's tent in ancient times. Faced with new weapons

, new tactics, the battlefield formation that has lasted for thousands of years will be completely subverted.

The update of weapons will inevitably affect the changes in combat. The previous confrontation between the two armies turned into a unilateral bombardment three kilometers away. Ji Cong watched the bullet point with a telescope while letting the artillery correct the bombardment point, and in front of the artillery.

Thirty meters away, hundreds of auxiliary soldiers were digging trenches, guarding against the Tatar cavalry who would not follow the routine and come to countercharge.

After half an hour of shelling, the camp of King Yibulain had already turned into a sea of ​​flames, and the people in the camp were scattered in all directions. However, regardless of the stragglers who escaped from the camp, after being summoned by the sergeant,

If they are gathered together to prepare for the enemy, the artillery shells will be scattered on the spot. These artillery pieces seem to be sparse.

The destructive power was huge. After just half an hour, although not many people were directly killed, more and more Tatar cavalry were injured, all with burns and scratches from shrapnel. The unlucky ones were directly hit by the shells and died.

Some had broken arms and legs, and they were even more bloody. Mixed with the neighing of war horses, cattle and sheep, the camp of five thousand soldiers was in terrible shape.

This kind of unilateral massacre was also due to the Tatar soldiers' insufficient response. They had never encountered it before. A mere five artillery pieces fired ten to fifteen shells per minute. The result was an hour-long fight. If the barrels were not red,

, had to stop, and would continue to fight. Within this hour, at first

The Tatar soldiers were still gathering troops to meet the enemy. As a result, the few hundred soldiers who had just gathered were knocked unconscious by several artillery shells, while more people were milling around the camp, watching to see if the Ming army was attacking.

After entering the camp and starting fires everywhere, the camp became more and more chaotic, and eventually they dispersed and fled.

The army was defeated like a mountain. Some skirmishers couldn't tell the direction and came towards the artillery position, which happened to be the target for the musketeers to shoot freely. The musketeers had a small flag as a unit and stood around the artillery position. As long as they saw a Tatar

The Tatar soldiers rushed into the shooting range and started shooting. At this time, Ji Cong truly understood Zhang Zijun's tactics, which was to use 300 soldiers to deal with 5,000 Tatar soldiers. However, although these Tatar soldiers were dispersed, the next step was to

They could have launched a charge and won a complete victory, but before setting off, Zhang Zijun specifically warned not to charge. Even if they won, they would have to wait until reinforcements from Hewan arrived before they could attack. At that time, Ji Cong

He was very surprised after hearing this, and now he sighed: "My uncle is really clever. If three hundred soldiers go forward without protection, and the Tatars fight hand to hand, they can chop themselves into pieces with just a hundred cavalry."

Although the Tatar soldiers are now fleeing in all directions, not many have been killed, which means that there are at least 4,000 more scattered around, hiding among the undulating ravines and beams, and they will explode after being hit by hundreds of rounds without thinking.

After the artillery attack, they couldn't figure out the situation but were in chaos for a while. If they waited until they came to their senses and gathered together, they would form a counterattack at any time. These three hundred soldiers became their food, so Ji Cong ordered

Stand guard in place and wait for reinforcements.

The terrain here combines the loess Liangmao with the endless desert Gobi. From a distance, it looks like a piece of loess. As you walk, a cliff will suddenly appear in front of you. Therefore, Ji Cong will not move around and only sends out many soldiers.

The three-person team of scouts can look around to find out where the defeated Tatar troops have gone, and wait for the reinforcements from the river bend to converge.

The leader of the army in Hewan is Zhang Yue, who also has a musketeer team of 300 people, an artillery team of 100 people, the rest is composed of archers and sword and shield soldiers, and a newly formed small group of grenadiers of several hundred people.

The trebuchet artillery team, with a total of a thousand people, was rushing to join Ji Cong's position. On the way, they met Jiu Gong.

A team of 600 Tatar cavalry were not allowed to return from Gaojiapu. Both sides were a little confused by this head-on collision. In a hurry, the Ming Army's musketry team fired indiscriminately, and the Tatar cavalry team was obviously very

They were brave and immediately launched a charge. The Ming army obviously couldn't hold it anymore. The cannons and trebuchets had no time to deploy, and the muskets

The soldiers fought on their own. It was obviously unrealistic to rely on archers and sword and shield soldiers to stop the charge of the Tatar cavalry. But just such a charge destroyed Zhang Yue's thousand-man team. Fortunately, the number of soldiers

There were more Tatar cavalry on them. Under the constant shooting of archers and musketeers, this group of Tatar rangers

Most of them were killed and wounded, and they were unable to fight and retreat again. On the contrary, the Ming army suffered more tragic casualties, with more than 500 casualties, which can be said to be more than half of the casualties. If this team of Tatar Rangers were all killed in battle, they would launch another attack.

If he charged, the consequences would be unpredictable. Zhang Yue's scalp was numb and he wanted to cry but had no tears.

The same thing happened in Gaojiabao. After several consecutive days of strong attack, Brodo also acted like a wild bull even though he had no plans. Originally, Gaojiabao relied on the terrain of the castle and the 300 defenders could barely hold on, facing the Tatars.

The soldiers attacked day and night, and Gaojiabao defended

After the army destroyed all the wood and stones they could collect and fired their bows and arrows, one hundred defenders plus two hundred auxiliary soldiers and more than a hundred young men in the fort suffered most of the casualties, while the Tatar soldiers paid their dues.

After a huge cost of 1,800 soldiers, the castle was finally captured.

Brodo also occupied Gaojia Fort, and obviously was unable to advance further, so he raided the entire Gaojia Fort, killing everyone he saw, and plundered everything that could be looted. In the end, he burned it all with fire.

In Gaojiabao, where there were thousands of people, there was no one left alive.

On the frontal battlefield, Oluo Chu launched multiple attacks to cooperate with King Yibula Yin, but they were all repelled by Chu Maolin. In fact, Ou Luo Chu did not expect to attack Erlin Rabbit, he just wanted to contain the enemy on the opposite side.

The Ming army asked Yibula Yinwang to attack Hewan from behind, so every attack ended in an anticlimax, which made Chu Maolin tremble with anger. Finally, Chu Maolin made a bold move.

That night, Chu Maolin mobilized all his main forces, 300 musketeers, 300 grenadiers, 300 sword and shield soldiers, and 300 cavalry, and took advantage of the darkness to sneak attack on the camp that Oruo had left. This was a risky move, and it was successful.

If you succeed, you can completely defeat Onuluo Chu. If you fail, you can only retreat.

Erlin Rabbit clings to it and never makes any progress. There is also the most terrible consequence. Erlin Rabbit may not be able to hold on, and the entire Wuliang Suhai will change hands. Uncle's business in the past two years will be ruined because of Erlin
