Brocade clothing as the country

Chapter 510

"My lord, we will be in front of our army in about half an hour!!"

The sentry on the watchtower shouted loudly that Ding Zhuang, the civilian husband in the car formation, was a little flustered, and the leaders of the civilian husband were beating and scolding desperately.

The so-called looking at the mountains and running dead horses, in the open grassland, you can see extremely far, but seeing and reaching are completely two concepts. Although you can see the traces of the Tartar army, the distance is still very far.

Wang Tong looked back and forth on the cart, pointed to the front and said:

"Go to the flat land in front and set up camp!"

"My lord, set up camp early..."

"There is flat land over there, surrounded by hills. Our troops set up camp there, but the enemy wants to climb over the surrounding hills. The terrain will take advantage of it!"

The action at this time is really not stable, everyone is yelling to hurry up, the soldiers have only marched for a short time, and they are not tired. The consumption of food and grass in the past few days has made the carts already empty a lot, and the speed can also be raised. The speed of the brigade immediately Speeded up a lot, but a little scattered.

When he got there quickly, Wang Tong turned around and said to General Tan:

"You bring the official's personal army camp and Cai Jianjun to watch the camp together. If the civilian husband is in trouble, he will be executed immediately!"

General Tan gave a deep promise, and immediately led the people there. Wang Tong raised the reins and ordered to the messenger behind him:

"Order the first regiment and the second regiment, put on armor outside the camp!"

The messengers behind him agreed loudly, and they stepped forward to deliver the order. The soldiers began to run forward from both sides of the cart line. The fender rested and was hung between the two carts, and someone led the animals pulling the carts to the cart formation.

There were more than a dozen large carts that did not stop. Instead, they shouted and rushed towards the front of the formation. The battalions over there were assembling into a large square formation. They were all opened, and the soldiers in the outer queue stepped forward to take off their armor.

The soldiers standing in the two outermost rows of the queue, as well as the battalion officers, the hundred households, and the general banners were all wearing armor. They returned to the queue with the armor, and with the help of their partners behind them, they put on the plate armor and put it on. helmet.

After the carts transported the armor, they returned to the cart camp and connected them to form a camp. Someone moved artillery of different sizes from the cart. Applied properly, it can also cause damage to the attacking enemy.

At intervals in the car camp, there are small cannons of one and a half catties mounted on it. This is the same amount of food and grass that so many carts carry for six days. Many carts are used to load Huwei plate armor, artillery and ammunition.

The connection of the car battalion was completed. According to the artillery and various defenses inside, Ding Zhuang, a civilian man holding a weapon, could even defend for a period of time.

However, the first regiment and the second regiment of the Huwei Battalion were all lined up outside the car camp. The generals at all levels were fine, but many soldiers had expressions of panic.

"I'm afraid, these Tartars are just pirates on horseback, they are all cowards!!"

Over there Li Hutou yelled to cheer up his soldiers, but there were not many people who responded. Wang Tong rode a horse to watch the formation at the gate of the camp. The muffled thunder-like sound from the west was getting louder and louder, and his mount was a little restless. Wang Tong stretched out his hand to caress the mount, making it quiet, and shook the reins lightly, allowing the mount to pass between the two groups.

The mount was restless, and as soon as it was driven by its owner, it wanted to run fast, but was restrained by Wang Tong's reins, so it could only move forward slowly.

The infantry of the first and second regiments were a little nervous and anxious. The thunderous voice and the increasingly obvious tremors on the ground made them feel that the enemy was approaching.

Seeing Wang Tong strolling forward like a leisurely stroll, and seeing how stable his master is, everyone calmed down a lot.

In front of the two regiments, several hundred firecrackers were checking the loading of ammunition, and under the orders of the generals, they used cleaning rods to tamp the ammunition in the firecrackers. However, two of the Fan soldiers who accompanied Hans were killed. Arranged for the firecrackers to make small flags, the generals gave orders, but these two trotted to check everyone's firecrackers.

After checking one side, I found the problem. A dozen soldiers were too nervous and forgot to draw out the cleaning rod after tamping the ammunition. If they fired, it would not affect the kill. With this cleaning rod, there is no way to tamp the ammunition at all, which is equivalent to wasting a firecracker.

With the sound of horseshoes behind him, General Tan led his own soldiers to follow up, and the car battalion behind was about to be formed. Wang Tong looked at the front and said in a low voice:
"How many people are in Cai Jianjun's hands? In case of emergency, don't let those civilians blow up the camp."

"Please don't worry, master. The master's personal guards have been left for Eunuch Cai for [-], plus the ones arranged by our own among the civilian husbands, it is enough to suppress."

Wang Tong nodded, and with a flick of the reins, he led the crowd to the front of the formation. At this time, the two large square formations had been lined up, and the preparations were about the same everywhere. When Wang Tong raised his hand, the drums of the two regiments sounded suddenly, The soldiers simply lined up again, but they became quiet, all looking at Wang Tong.

Wang Tong put down his hands, and the sound of the drum stopped. Wang Tong stepped on the stirrup, stood up from his mount, and shouted:

"Today's battle is nothing special, it's just killing the enemy, I will be with you, let's kill the enemy and fight together!!!"

After finishing speaking, he pulled the reins, and Wang Tong and his guards ran to the right side of the formation. Li Hu took a step forward, raised the spear in his hand and shouted:
"Kill the enemy and fight!!"

The second regiment shouted first, and the first regiment followed suit. They all shouted "Kill the enemy!! Kill the enemy!!!", the momentum was like a rainbow for a while, the first regiment was on the left, the second regiment was on the right, The distance between the two regiments was more than [-] paces, Wang Tong stood a hundred paces away from the second regiment, and beside him was the artillery formation.

This time it is not a one-pound or one-and-a-half-pound light cannon, but a three-pound and five-pound cannon, and it is a field artillery with a carriage and a carriage. It can only be dragged by two or four horses, and it is placed in the car formation. In order to hide it and prevent the enemy's details from seeing it, the master of the workshop specially asked the master of the workshop to build a large car shell, instead of getting in to see it, It really looks like a big car.

But it is not easy to manufacture such cannons. Everything in the workshop has just been established, and there is a process. Wang Tong brought a total of nine such cannons this time, six three-jin cannons and three five-jin cannons.

There are 300 artillerymen and auxiliary civilians, and they are all busy there. With the cannon carriage and the cannon mount, the effort of setting up the cannon is saved a lot, but there are still a lot of busy things. For fire, the kindling of a brazier should be divided into several pots, and each cannon cannot be ignited with one fire.

On a very cold day, Mu En didn't wear a padded jacket. He yelled loudly and followed along with his hands. Wang Tong reined in his horse and stopped here, looked at it with a smile, and then looked forward.

It was no different from the pre-judgment. The Tartar cavalry really came to attack on the last day of the return journey. The terrain cannot be said to be so favorable. In addition to this, there are several earth-covered hills on the left side of the first regiment, and only one on the right side of the second regiment. place.

Wang Tong was busy here, and the large group of Tartar cavalry from the west was also marching non-stop. Seeing the Ming army in formation, a dozen Tartar cavalry running in the front raised their red flags and waved back and forth. The sound of horns sounded with a certain rhythm, watching the Tartar cavalry all over the mountains and plains lined up in formation under the guidance of the cavalry holding the flag in front, slowing down the speed of their horses.

For long-distance follow, even if it is one person with two horses or more, horsepower should be cherished, and the horsepower should not be consumed too much. Slow down the horse speed, and it is convenient to adjust the position, and line up with the red flag in front.

At a distance of more than [-] steps from the forefront of the Huwei army formation, the Tartar cavalry also lined up while running, and they were divided into more than a dozen teams, but the weather was very strict.

From a distance, you can see many flags flocking forward in the center of the Tartar brigade. After leaving the line, you can see some people on horses and in armor looking at this side. This should be the general and nobleman among the Tartars.

************
"With so many Jia, it's no wonder they suffered such a big loss outside the Xuan Mansion. This is the first time I've seen such a Ming army!"

Seeing the Tiger's Might Army in formation, Wanhu Najite gasped. Although the Tiger's Mighty Army only had soldiers and generals on the outside wearing helmets and armor, it looked like the entire brigade was wearing armor from a distance. Put on the iron armor. At this time, when the sun shines and the iron armor shines, it is really cold.

The Tartar nobles and generals who came out also had horrified expressions on their faces, but Tengzhuer, the prince of the Horqin tribe, immediately laughed, raised his whip and pointed there, saying:

"If Minggou stayed in the camp, it might be difficult for us to fight, but he came out to fight in the field with arrogance. Didn't he send us something?"

Everyone watching the battle there laughed, and the old man who spoke flatteringly yesterday even said:
"When the time comes, bring all these big carts here, the Horqin tribe will be the most powerful tribe on the grassland, and Jitwanhu will become the Khan King passed down from generation to generation..."

These words flattered several sides, even Najite smiled, Ming Jun is such an idiot, it would be too stupid not to get these good things.

At this moment, there was a loud "boom" and a whistling sound...

************
"You can't let the Tartars line up so easily! Take them to the test!!"

Wang Tong gave the order with a smile, and Mu En agreed, and a five-jin gun began to adjust its direction, ignited and fired.
