The desolate horn blows, which is the trumpet of establishing slaves.
The sound is different from that of the Mongols.
More than 5,000 slaves, wearing tattered clothes, squatted behind the shield cart, looking fearfully at the slave cavalry who were guarding them.
A pot-bellied officer came over on horseback, followed by a dozen ghoshars and dozens of cooks.
These fire-headed soldiers carried baskets of multigrain pancakes mixed with rice bran and wild vegetables.
"Baylor has an order to let them eat enough and then start attacking immediately," said the fat-bellied officer.
The man in charge of the shield chariot, Zhentu Hachao, quickly nodded and bowed and said: "Shi Beizi, just lift it. Once they go into battle, the slave's whip will allow them to use all their strength."
"Okay, Tu Hachao, if you finish this job, the general will definitely benefit from you. After destroying this reinforcements, and when the city is captured, the general said that the sword will not be sealed for three days."
When the Jiannu around heard this, they all became excited. They were all excited, eager to rush forward immediately.
The situation of the slaves was not much better than that of the Mongols. They killed all the Han people, and now it is too late to regret it.
Now that there are no producers and merchants, supplies are extremely scarce.
The clothes and daily necessities they robbed at the beginning have been almost consumed in the past seven or eight years. Now they are short of everything except gold and silver.
In Fan Yongdou's words, they were so poor that all they had left was money.
It's a pity that gold, silver, pearls and jade cannot be eaten when hungry, and clothed when cold. There are no materials that can be traded, and these things are not even as good as shit.
Last year there was a severe shortage of supplies, continuous drought, and almost no food production. Some people even died of cold and starvation while holding their money.
The reason why Huang Taiji was willing to send people this time was because he learned about the wealth of Duolun City through the shaman's meticulous work in Mongolia, and they were also very jealous.
If you make a detailed promise and conquer that city, even if you share half of it, it will be enough for a year.
These bandit-like barbarians only know how to rob and destroy, but never organize production.
This fat man is Nurhachi's tenth son Degerei. He, Nurhaci's fifth son Heshuobele Manggurtai and Kaiyuan Princess Mangguji are all in the same group.
Historically, after the death of Mang Gurtai, Degerei took over as the leader of the Zhenglan Banner. Immediately, he died suddenly like Mang Gurtai. Mang Gurtai was also killed by Huang Taiji on the charge of treason.
The fat man rode away with satisfaction.
Baskets of bread were brought and placed on the ground.
Those ragged Aha immediately started looting like mad dogs.
For a piece of bran cake, they punched, kicked and bit each other like wild dogs.
These people were robbed by slaves and became almost like wild beasts in order to survive.
Those with conscience and those who dared to resist have been killed.
The rest are those who have been tamed, enslaved, and flattered by superiors and bullied by inferiors.
An hour later, Jian Nu was finally ready.
The three-sided attack began, and the shield vehicle began to move forward slowly.
Zhang Geda curled his lips contemptuously, these slaves of the Zhenglan Banner have such a great reputation.
The Zhenglan Banner opposite is said to be the main force of Jiannu.
It takes such a long time to prepare for launching an attack. It can be seen that training and discipline are just that.
On the observation deck, through the telescopes of each commander, they could clearly see the situation ahead.
Under the whips of the slave-guarding soldiers, the ragged Aha men grinned and struggled to push the heavy shield cart.
The 62-type telescope issued by the master is an eight-power mirror. The lens film color is usually blue or light yellow. This film is an anti-reflection film, and the image is sharp. Even the ferocious expressions of the slaves pushing the carts can be seen clearly.
Telescopes are a status symbol in Yang Fan's army. Only battalion-level officers or higher officers are equipped with them. Only those with telescopes hanging around their necks must be senior officers or top reconnaissance soldiers.
Fortunately, this grassland has not rained recently, and it is sandy land, which is not bad.
Otherwise, the muddy ground will make them tired enough to vomit blood.
Tu Shanyue put down the telescope and said to Yang Fan: "Sir, our copper-fired cannon has a maximum range of 500 meters. These shield vehicles have already entered the range. Do you want to open fire?"
Xiao Niangpi is very active and deeply involved in Yang Fan's military operations.
She knew in her heart that military power was everything. If she wanted to have greater influence in the master's army, she must seriously learn the combat knowledge of these new armies.
She is different from Lin Yueru. Lin Yueru does not dare to get involved in the army because she is already the head of the intelligence system. If she reaches out any further, the master will be afraid.
Her participation in the army was a matter of course and no one could say anything because she was Yang Fan's only legal wife.
In Chinese history, it has always been a monogamous country. The husband and wife have equal status, and concubines cannot be counted as wives. No matter how many concubines you take, you will still have the same wife.
And Yang Fan is also willing to teach her. In the future, he will be fighting in the north and south, and he cannot always be at home. The Yang family also needs a head who understands military affairs to take charge of the overall situation.
Xiao Niangpi is caring for her husband and raising children at home, and at the same time she has to manage Yang Fan's lair so that the master can rest assured on his expedition abroad.
"Don't be anxious. If we fight now, they won't dare to charge. Wait and be patient. When they reach a hundred meters, they won't be able to escape no matter what. We will completely annihilate them by then." Yang Fan said proudly.
.
I had long been on guard against Jiannu's appearance.
Unexpectedly, these barbarians actually brought heavy shield carts from Shenyang.
This thing is not light enough to be dragged by a horse. It would take at least three oxen to drag it.
"That's right, this thing moves slower than an ox, and it's not afraid even if it's a hundred meters away." Xiao Niangpi nodded.
"Sir, there are four to five hundred Jiannu's shield vehicles. Do we have enough artillery shells?" Lin Yueru also asked quickly. "After all, the accuracy of the copper-haired gun is not very good. If there is less ammunition, it may not be enough."
Yang Fan nodded, he actually didn't pay much attention to the equipment of the soldiers guarding Qianhu Station.
After all, this is the army of the imperial court. I am really reluctant to spend my own money. But the equipment of the Ministry of War is really speechless, so Yang Fan has no choice but to use his own money to arm it as much as possible.
The performance of the three-pound cannon currently equipped by Yang Fan completely surpasses this heavy and bloated copper-fired cannon.
But Yang Fan was unwilling to equip officers and soldiers.
This time I just wanted to train this team, so I just pulled it out.
If Yang Fan had his own artillery, the performance of the artillery would be much better than this.
"The Car Camp Group has six hundred vehicles, each of which has a copper gun, and each vehicle has on-board ammunition. Among them, there are 15 rounds of spherical solid bullets and 25 rounds of shotshells. Two hundred guns on one side, the firepower density is enough.
However, due to limited funds, these artillery shooting trainings were only conducted more than thirty times. The gunners were not trained enough. It is true that the hit rate is not very good, let’s just wait and see.”
