Chapter 195 Bombarding the Mountain Gate
boom!Rocks flew across the mountain, and the splashed mud scratched the cheeks of the Eight Banners soldiers who were hiding behind the rocks.

As a tentative shell fell, another series of shells whizzed in, making the Eight Banners defenders guarding the mountain gate terrified.

"Has the Liao army started to attack?" Niu Luerzhen asked loudly while hiding behind the stone.

"Report to my lord, they have no intention of attacking yet!" The Eight Banners sentries who risked their lives had to stand out from time to time to pay attention to the movement of the Liao army under the mountain.

A round of shells kept falling, and after firing one round, the cannon started firing a second round.

"If this continues, our mountain gate will be bombed!" Niu Luerzhen heard the sound of the shell hitting the rock, as if it was blowing in his heart.

Banner owner Amin led the crowd on the high mountain in the inner city. Seeing that the mountain gate was attacked by artillery fire from the Liao army, he quickly mobilized three Niulu troops to reinforce the mountain gate.

"The enemy's reinforcements may reinforce the mountain gate at any time, and prepare for a tentative charge." After several rounds of shelling, Huang Weiyao commanded the infantry to charge towards the scarred mountain gate in batches.

Bang bang bang!With the sound of flintlock muskets, these infantrymen shot at the mountain gate with the help of trees and rocks in the mountain city, and were divided into two groups. One group shot the bows and arrows that suppressed the Eight Banners soldiers, and the other group advanced quickly.

Even though the infantry had launched an attack, the artillery was still bombarding the rear of the mountain gate to cover the infantry's charge.

"The Fu Liao army is about to charge up, use our bows and arrows to teach them a lesson!" Niu Luerzhen held a bow and arrow, formed an arrow formation at the mountain gate, and shot at the infantry.

The two armies fought fiercely near the mountain gate, shells flew horizontally, muskets were pulled, and arrows rained down.

Liu Xingzuo saw the fierce battle at the mountain gate through the telescope, and was thinking about the next move in his mind.

"The military flag in the inner city is shaking, and the reinforcements are coming down the mountain. This time, the attack of Huang Weiyao's troops may not be able to break through the mountain gate. Let him test it a few times, and there is no need to force the attack." Liu Xingzuo said.

"Liu Xingzuo, your third brigade can't do it. Our first brigade will send out a battalion to attack another mountain gate. Let's see who breaks the mountain gate first?" Mrs. Yang of the first brigade said with a smile.

"It's not cost-effective to attack by force at this time. Don't forget that the military leader gave the artillery a lot of explosives. We will send them a shot at night, and they will blow it up." Liu Xingzuo sneered.

"Enough! But before nightfall, I will let my troops take this opportunity to train their soldiers. After our first brigade expanded its recruitment, we have added a lot of new recruits. They don't have any actual combat experience." Mrs. Yang looked at the mountain city, " This can be regarded as an attack on the mountain.”

If Amin, who is determined to stick to the end, knows that his opponents only regard them as targets for military training, he will probably cry without tears.

Jialaerzhen Zhatai of Xianglan Banner led more than a thousand cavalry out of Sarhu, and plunged into the area between Fushun Pass and Sarhu.If the Liao army wanted to ensure the supply of grain and grass for the first and third brigades, it would definitely follow the grain road of the Hun River.

"Isn't Baylor embarrassing us? The Liao army must have come prepared. If we can't rob their food, what will our army eat?" Zatai led his cavalry along the Hun River.

"Master Zhatai, don't panic. The Liao army is almost all infantry. Even if they send a large number of infantry to escort the grain trucks, as long as we harass them all the way and make them unable to move, they will collapse sooner or later. When we hit them, they will collapse." They will surrender without a fight. That’s what the Mongols did many years ago.” A cavalry officer said to Zatai.

"It would be great if they could destroy their grain roads so smoothly." Zhatai still said with a sad face, not knowing if he was frightened by the Liao army before.

Zhatai led the cavalry to continue westward, toward Fushun Pass, and around this cavalry unit, there were still many rangers searching for traces of Liao army grain vehicles or logistics troops.

"Report! The transportation team of the Fuliao Army is found ahead!" The Rangers ahead rushed to report!

"The war has just begun, and the dry food they brought has not been eaten yet, so there is a transport team delivering food and grass to the front line so soon?" Zhatai was surprised when he heard the news of the Fuliao army grain truck.

"My lord, the Liao army has a lot of artillery. Before each battle, they use artillery to attack. They must have insufficient artillery and ammunition, so they have a convoy to transport supplies to the front line. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!" Zhatai said. The adjutant said to Zatai.

"How many infantry guards are there on the other side?" Zhatai still asked worriedly.

"The infantry was only about a thousand, but..."

"but what?"

"In addition to the infantry, there is also a cavalry patrolling around their luggage. Our scouts have already fought against them. Judging from their combat style, it should be the cavalry from the Mongolian side. There are nearly a thousand of them!"

"This must be a member of the Horqin tribe. They even divided up an army with the Liao army to protect the food road!" Zhatai was so frightened that his liver and gallbladder split.The infantry of the Eight Banners can't compete with the Liao army playing with muskets, and the cavalry will bump into the Mongols who grew up on horseback. How can we fight this?
"It's troublesome, with this Mongolian cavalry, we can't get close to them, so how can we stop their grain carts?" The adjutant also frowned.

"It's over, it's over, my Dajin Kingdom is over, I don't think this battle can be fought, let's go back to the forests of Changbai Mountain and be hunters," Zhatai said a little dejectedly.

"It's absolutely impossible, my lord. Even if the Mongols send an army to protect the food roads of the Liao army, we may not be able to defeat them. For the sake of the fortune of the Dajin Kingdom, I think we can save it again." The adjutant said. .

On the other hand, Wu Keshan, the son of Zaisang, the leader of the Mongolian cavalry, also found their traces when the Eight Banners cavalry found themselves.

"Sure enough, the Jurchens sent light cavalry to attack the grain roads. These are leftovers from our Mongols' play. Without our Horqin tribe, they are nothing." The outline of the Eight Banners cavalry that appeared faintly, was very disdainful to the Eight Banners cavalry, but admired the telescope.

"The telescope of the Liao army is really good. It can bring people in the distance closer to the eyes, and it is so lifelike. It can be called a clairvoyant. This time, it is really profitable to rely on them."

"Ahem, the Eight Banners cavalry is attacking grain trucks, how should we deal with it?" the Mongolian deputy general asked for instructions.

"Of course we fought in the past. We Mongolian cavalry are all over the world, are we afraid of a group of parrots? As for the grain truck, even without us, with the thousand muskets of the Liao army, are we afraid that the Eight Banners cavalry will be robbed? Let's go, our Mongolian cavalry has never There are only two words of attack!"

Wu Keshan directly led a thousand Mongolian cavalry to kill the Eight Banners cavalry, leaving behind the Liao army infantry who were still a little stunned.Didn't this group of Mongolian cavalry help them guard the grain carts? Why did they pounce on the enemies who robbed grain?I don't have any self-awareness as a defender...
