Chapter 19 Despicable Tactics

As soon as the Yu army completed the defense, Dorgun led the Jiannu army to roll in and arrived in front of their position. Yu Xiaotian erected a watchtower more than ten meters high, personally climbed up the watchtower, and raised his telescope to look in the direction of the Jiannu army.

Looking around, a dense army of Jiannu appeared along the west coast of the canal a few miles away, representing their eight-flag flags, everywhere. A team of Jiannu cavalry and armored marches, like ants, slowly walking towards his position, seemed to be smelled in the air. A strong murderous atmosphere.

Yu Xiaotian took a secret breath. Although he had a long understanding of Jiannu's strength, it used to be something on paper. Now when tens of thousands of Jiannu troops appear in front of him, this is a real thing in front of him. The pressure that tens of thousands of troops can produce is definitely not What thousands of people can experience when they fight against each other.

This is the first time he has commanded a large-scale war since he fell into the sea. This is different from the naval battle. Nearly 100,000 troops on the two sides are placed on such a small piece of land. The pressure is so great that even he himself feels a little frightened.

Now he realized that those generals were under great pressure when facing tens of thousands of enemies. Not only he, but even his general Meng Fei also put away the cynical expression on his face and began to become serious.

"Futam! There are really a lot of soldiers and horses! More than ten years ago, if I had seen this situation, I would have been scared to pee in my pants!" Although Meng Fei's expression on his face was much more serious, his old problem still revealed his nature.

Yu Xiaotian almost turned around and kicked this guy off the watch platform, but he still resisted this desire and asked Meng Fei, "Meng Fei, you shut your mouth first. I ask you, in your opinion, can we stop the army of Jiannu this time?"

Meng Fei quickly straightened up and replied, "Lord! You didn't ask. Why have we been waiting here for so many days? Isn't it just to stop these bastards? Now that we are here, how can they slip away from under our eyes so easily!

Although there are many of them, in the eyes of the last general, it is just a pile of rotten meat! Just practice your hands for the little ones and use them as live targets!

No matter how fierce this slave is, he is raised by his mother and father. If he is shot, he will still die! I don't believe they can defeat us!

Unless they don't care about anything now, throw all the goods they have found here, discard all the captured population, and immediately circle around here and rush to Wuqing to cross the river from Wuqing to the Xianghe River. We may not be able to delay them, but as long as they are reluctant to give up. Some people and goods, then they will never dare to slip away from the flanks!"

After listening to Meng Fei's answer, Yu Xiaotian nodded with satisfaction. Meng Fei is a war maniac. As soon as he fights, he will be energetic. The more he fights a big battle, the more excited he will be. This guy also represents the ideas of the young strong faction in the Yu family army. These guys are afraid that the world will not be chaotic, and they have been sharpened their knives for a long time. It's time to have a good fight with Jiannu.

Two days ago, Yu Zhenshan of the 7th Brigade first got the advantage of two days of fierce battle with Jiannu and killed a lot of enemies, which made Meng Fei and many of his officers jump to death. Today, these guys saw so many Jiannu troops. Although they were a little nervous, they More should be excitement.

For so many years, these guys have followed him to fight south and north. It can be said that they have made many achievements and won many battles. They have already developed their unruly character and will never be soft to the military uniforms of the slaves. No matter how many of their troops they have, who let them have so many firsts that should not have appeared in this era. Where is the fire extinguisher?

Although the current strength of Jiannu in the West Bank is as many as 70,000, and Yu's army has only three brigades here. Among them, the fourth brigade is not a full brigade, and its strength is only 20,000 and weaker, this does not mean that these generals under his command are frightening the Jiannu army. On the contrary, the strength of the Jiannu army The stronger they are, the happier they are. At this time, many people can enjoy guns happily.

In the construction of the army, Yu Xiaotian has always carried out various concepts instilled by the officers and soldiers under his opponents. One of the most important is to instill in the threats of Jiannu to their Han people, as well as the brutality and indisolent crimes committed by Jiannu in Liaodong.

Therefore, under such continuous indoctrination, each of them hated Jiannu. They had no chance to stop talking about it before, but now they have finally waited for the opportunity to compete with the Jiannu army. How can they not rub their hands and prepare for a big fight?

So at this time, the soldiers of the Yu army were more nervous, but a kind of excitement that was about to break out. Many people have even had a desire to draw a knife and charge. They can't wait to chop a few Jiannu with their own hands now to vent happily.

Although Yu's army is not many at this time, there are really few soldiers who are really afraid of. Over the years, they have not been interested in fighting pirates, mountain thieves, and fighting with officers and soldiers. Soldiers always love to argue in private, saying that you have the ability to cut down the heads of several slaves, which is called the ability to win the mountain. What a thief's ability! Therefore, at this time, the soldiers of the family have been waiting for a little impatiently.

However, as the Jiannu army came to raise troops and stopped at the opposite side, Yu Xiaotian and his generals saw Jiannu drive from behind to a large wave of ragged Ming people in front of the battle, so everyone's hearts suddenly sank and immediately realized what Jiannu might do.

Meng Fei suddenly clenched the handle of the knife around his waist and said angrily, "Is this son of a man still a human? If you have the ability, come up and fight with me! What is it to drive the people to the front and block the knife for them? I've been his ancestors for eight generations!"

Yu Xiaotian's face also suddenly tightened, showing an angry look. He had already heard of Jiannu's despicableness. Jiannu's army attacked the city and liked to drive the captured Ming people to take the lead for them. Although this practice is often used in this era, Jiannu is the most used and the most cruel.

I didn't expect that he had just met the main force of Jiannu today. Before Jiannu did anything, he sacrificed this move first. This was really despicable to the extreme. How could Yu Xiaotian not be angry?

The most important thing for him to go north this time is to buy people's hearts. Let the world know that only he can save the people from water and fire tomorrow.

An important factor is that he wants to fight a deadly battle between Tianjin Wei and Jiannu and block Jiannu in the customs so that he can't retreat completely is that he wants to cut off all the hundreds of thousands of people who took away from Jiannu. These hundreds of thousands of people will become his spokespersons and become his most loyal believers.

When Jiannu slaughtered them, looted them, and forced them out of customs, no officers and soldiers came to save them. Only Yu Xiaotian led troops to save them. As long as he preached a little, the people in the north will return to him. In the future, when he passes through the north, he will not encounter too much resistance and can avoid a lot of unnecessary The battle and the casualties of the people.

But today, Jiannu sacrificed such a tactic for the first time, which is really despicable. If he doesn't mind these people and orders them to slaughter them, even if he wins this battle, I'm afraid he will bear the charge of a butcher in the future.

No matter why the people do this, in short, they only recognize who can save them and kill them, so once Jiannu is allowed to succeed, this time it will make Yu Xiaotian's many plans fall into the open space.

Yu Xiaotian's brain began to turn rapidly in an instant. Various schemes flashed through his mind like a horse lantern, and then it was denied by him one by one. After a while, his eyes suddenly paused and became firm in an instant.

"Meng Fei! I will order the 4th Brigade to leave an opening at the junction with the 7th Brigade's defense line. The 4th Brigade will shrink its strength and gather the cavalry for me. You can lead the team to prepare yourself!

Send an order to the first brigade, prepare to receive refugees later, and be ready to seal the mouth at any time. Since Dorson wants to give me a big gift, I'm not polite!" Yu Xiaotian shouted to Meng Fei.

After Meng Fei heard this, even if he understood what Yu Xiaotian wanted to do, he immediately responded loudly. Without saying a word, he turned around and ran down to the high platform and began to send troops.

After a while, there was a dull horn and a rumbling sound of war drums from the Jiannu army. Nearly 10,000 Jiannu army slowly followed thousands of Daming people and forced them to slowly push towards the front of the Yu family army.

"The artillery is ready! Adjust the firing angle to 30 degrees, full charge! Four hundred steps, when the people come, they are ready to fire at any time to stop the construction slave army behind! Hurry up!" The officers of the artillery battalion began hysterically and gave orders against the artillery companies.

The main equipment of Yujia's artillery is a 12-pound mountain howitzer. This kind of gun can not only fire flat, but also has a high shooting angle that can be used to hang high-throwing ballistics. When the construction slave army used such despicable tactics, the artillery officers immediately came up with a way to deal with it.

That is to give up direct shooting and use the high shooting angle for hanging. The shell can cross the crowd in front and directly enter the following enemy array. In the past, it was mostly to intercept and shoot the enemy's follow-up troops. When solid bullets are used, the power will be reduced a lot, and the shells are not easy to be on the high parabola. Under the circumstances, the landing produces a bouncing effect, which will weaken the damage to the enemy infantry a lot.
