The desolate horn blows, which is the trumpet of establishing slaves.
The sound is different from that of the Mongolians.
More than five thousand slaves, wearing tattered clothes, squatted behind the shield cart and looked at the slave cavalry who were guarding them with fear.
A pot-bellied officer rode over, followed by a dozen ghashars and dozens of cooks.
These fire-headed soldiers carried baskets of multigrain pancakes mixed with rice bran and wild vegetables.
"Baylor has an order, let them eat enough, and then start attacking immediately." The fat-bellied officer said.
The man in charge of the shield carriage, Zhentu Hachao, quickly nodded and bowed and said: "Shi Beizi, just lift it up. Once they go into battle, the slave's whip will allow them to use all their strength."
"Okay, Tuhachao, if you finish this errand, 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 surrounding Jiannu heard this, they all became excited. One by one, they were eager to rush forward as if they were on fire.
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 that were robbed at the beginning have been almost consumed in the past seven or eight years. Now they are short of everything but gold and silver.
In Fan Yongdou's words, they were so poor that all they had left was money.
It is a pity that gold, silver, pearls and jade cannot be eaten when hungry and clothed when cold. Without supplies that can be traded, these things are worse than shit.
Last year there was a severe shortage of materials, continuous drought, and almost no food production. Some people even died of cold and hunger while holding silver.
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.
He made a solemn promise and conquered that city, even if he divided half of the things, it would 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, the fifth son of Nurhaci, Heshuobele Manggurtai, and Kaiyuan Princess Mangguji are all in the same group.
Historically, after Mang Gurtai's death, Degerei took over as the leader of the Zhenglan Banner. Immediately, he died suddenly like Mang Gurtai. Mang Guji was also killed by Huang Taiji on charges of rebellion.
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 have been robbed by slaves and have become 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.
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 Zhenglan Banner have such a great reputation.
The Zhenglan Banner opposite is said to be the main force of Jiannu.
It takes so long to prepare to launch 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 guards, the ragged men pushed the heavy shield cart with grinning teeth.
The Type 62 telescope issued by the master is an eight-power mirror. The color of the lens film is usually blue or light yellow. This film is an anti-reflection coating, which makes the image clear and sharp. Even the ferocious expressions of the slaves pushing the carts were clearly visible.
Telescopes are a status symbol in Yang Fan's army. Only battalion-level officers or higher officers are equipped with them. The only one with a telescope hanging around his neck must be a senior officer or a top reconnaissance soldier.
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: "Master, our copper-fired cannon has a maximum range of 500 meters. These shield vehicles have already entered the range. 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 was different from Lin Yueru. Lin Yueru didn't dare to get involved in the army because she was already the head of the intelligence system. If you reach out again, 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 the concubine cannot be counted as the wife. No matter how many concubines you take, you will still have the same wife.
And Yang Fan is also willing to teach her. From now on, he will be fighting in the north and south, so he can't always be at home. The Yang family also needs a head who understands military affairs to take charge of the overall situation.
Xiao Niangpi takes care of her husband and raises her children at home, but she also has to manage Yang Fan's lair. Let me worry about the 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 run away 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 requires at least three oxen.
"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.
"Master, there are four to five hundred shield vehicles in Jiannu's army. Do we have enough artillery shells?" Lin Yueru also asked quickly. "After all, the accuracy of the copper-haired gun is not very good, and I'm afraid it won't be enough if the ammunition is low."
Yang Fan nodded. He actually didn't pay much attention to the equipment of the soldiers guarding Qianhu Station.
After all, this is the imperial army. I am really reluctant to spend my own money. But the equipment of the Ministry of War was really speechless, so Yang Fan had no choice but to use his own money to arm himself 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 it were Yang Fan's own artillery, the artillery performance would be much better than this.
"The Chaoying Regiment 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 have only been done more than thirty times. The gunners are not trained enough. It is true that the hit rate is not very good, let’s just wait and see.”
