Black cloud-like crossbow arrows fell down.
Several Bai Jia Ba Ya La were hit by arrows on the spot and fell to the ground.
Zahatu's eyes were splitting when he saw this scene. These were the most powerful warriors among his men.
Because it is often necessary to behead a hundred Donglu to become a red-armored soldier, and among the red-armored soldiers, only those who are good at riding and shooting can become a white-armored Baya La.
A single armored white-armored soldier only has thirty or fifty soldiers.
Every casualty of a white-armored soldier is a huge loss for Zahatu, and it means that his status among the Eight Banners nobles will be affected.
Therefore, now that he saw these Bai Jia Ba Ya La falling to the ground after being hit by arrows, he was very heartbroken.
The commander-in-chief of the Ming army, Yuan Keli, felt quite relieved when he saw that these white-armored Ba Ya La fell to the ground after being hit by arrows, and that his Ming army was still in order and their morale was not compromised.
As a Beijing official who had never established a battle formation, Yuan Keli did not understand why the Emperor suddenly asked him to replace Yuan Yingtai as governor of Liaodong.
But Yuan Keli is a serious official. He was so serious that he dared to offend powerful officials such as the First Assistant Minister when he was promoted to Suzhou. Therefore, when he learned that he had become the governor of Liaodong, he carefully understood the situation in Liaodong and also understood that he was the governor of Liaodong. What role should the governor of Liaodong play?
Yuan Keli understood that it was impossible for the imperial court to directly remove the governor of Liaodong, because even if he trusted Xiong Tingbi very much, it would not be possible for Xiong Tingbi to have sole control of military, political and financial power in Liaodong without a person to check and balance him.
And as a governor, I couldn't restrict Xiong Tingbi too much when checking and balancing him.
In this regard, Yuan Keli also carefully studied Xiong Tingbi's strategy, supported Xiong Tingbi's strategy, and even deepened it, and actively suggested that he unite his troops to disturb the slave nest.
The reason why he took the initiative to ask for military service was not because Yuan Keli liked to lead troops to fight. He felt that as a governor in Liaodong, even if he tried to avoid the war between governors and governors, he could not completely avoid conflicts in the details. After all, one mountain could not accommodate Erhu's.
Therefore, Yuan Keli took the initiative to request that some troops go out to fight mobile warfare against Jiannu.
Xiong Tingbi was in charge of overall planning in Liaodong.
In this way, the two tigers can cooperate with each other without meeting each other. One is defensive and the other is offensive, which is naturally the best.
Xiong Tingbi also understood what Yuan Keli meant, so he agreed to Yuan Keli's request to bring some elites out to attack Jiannu.
After all, the purpose of Yuan Keli's sending troops and Yuan Yingtai's sending troops were different.
Yuan Yingtai was trying to steal the limelight of Jinglu. Without consulting Jinglu, he blindly expanded his troops to regain the lost territory and completely wipe out the Eastern captives.
However, Yuan Keli asked for permission from Jinglue to take some of his elite troops out, not to regain the lost territory, but just to find an opportunity to cut off the heads of Jianluo to improve the Jinglue's record and to avoid staying in one place and causing a fight between two tigers.
Back to the topic.
But when it came time to meet Donglu and fight with him, Yuan Keli was still a little nervous at first.
But now after seeing several Donglu white-armored soldiers being shot and killed, Yuan Keli, who felt relieved, took back the hand that had tightened the handle of his sword and calmly ordered He Shixian: "Commander He, let your artillery fire. When the white-armored Donglu turned around and came back, hit his horse's belly with a cannon!"
Yuan Keli had already agreed with Qin Liangyu and He Shixian on the tactical arrangements for the battle in advance.
In order to achieve the purpose of military training required by His Majesty the Emperor Zhu Youxiao, Yuan Keli agreed with the two generals that the guest troops brought by Qin Liangyu's tribe would serve as the front army to fight against the Eastern captives first, while He Shixian's Liao cavalry would serve as the middle and rear troops to protect them. The two wings are responsible for the cleaning work.
After the battle, the heads and merits will be divided equally.
This will avoid conflicts between the host and guest armies after the battle against the Donglu, due to competition for the head, or unwillingness to cooperate due to the preservation of strength.
Fortunately, He Shixian and Qin Liangyu were both generals with a sense of the overall situation and a broad mind, so they both followed Yuan Keli's arrangements.
Now after Yuan Keli gave He Shixian's instructions, He Shixian also hurriedly agreed: "Yes!"
At the same time, He Shixian also felt a little strange about this civil servant from the capital. He couldn't admit that Yuan Fuchen's mind was spinning very fast, and he even thought of using cannon to hit the horse belly of the white-armed Donglu.
The Ming army's artillery was improved from the Franco machine smoothbore cannon, but the smoothbore cannons were not very accurate.
Therefore, it is easier to hit the larger horse belly with artillery than to hit the white-armored Donglu on the horse.
Yuan Ke immediately began to actively think about how to better cause enemy casualties during combat.
"Fire the cannon! Hit the white-armored Donglu sitting horse in the belly!"
boom!
boom!
boom!
Not long after He Shixian finished speaking, the Ming army's artillery began to fire, and the shells hit the belly of the white-armored Bajala's horse that was turning its head.
Suddenly.
Some of these white-armored Bajala mounts that were lucky enough to escape the crossbow fire of the white-armed soldiers because of their superb riding skills were directly hit with bleeding holes in their belly, and blood splashed. These mounts also fell sideways to the ground, and their screams were very tragic. Bai Jia Ba Ya La also fell to the ground.
None of the more than ten Baijiaba Yala successfully returned to the main camp.
They were either killed by crossbow arrows or fell to the ground.
Moreover, some Bai Jia Ba Ya La who fell to the ground began to foam on the ground because they were poisoned by crossbows, and were in great pain.
The white soldiers of the Ming Army had already accelerated under Qin Liangyu's orders. They stepped on the bodies of these foaming Bagaras, raised their hooks and sickles, and opened their fangs like the giant beasts. They also attacked the opposite side. The advancing Donglu heavy armored infantry rushed towards them.
Zahatu watched helplessly as more than a dozen of his white-armored soldiers were submerged in the massive Ming army before him. He gritted his teeth and shouted, "Speed up! Shoot heavy arrows!"
For a while.
The arrow feathers swam through the air like a spiritual snake.
"block!"
Qin Minping shouted loudly.
The white-armed soldiers in the front row knelt down on one knee with their guns closed and raised their vine shields. Those behind them raised their vine shields at increasing heights to form an inclined plane to block the incoming heavy arrows.
From time to time, arrows penetrated the vine shields, causing casualties to the white pole soldiers, and sporadic screams could be heard.
But most of the arrows still only scratched through the vine shield, leaving traces of friction, then changed their trajectories and fell down.
The white-pole soldiers in the front row had already heard the sound of Donglu's shield chariot.
Crunchy.
Many Donglu infantry hid behind the shield carts and continued to shoot heavy arrows at the white pole soldiers.
At this time, the white-armed soldiers moved out the ten turtledove guns purchased from Nanyang at a high price that Zhu Youxiao had assigned to Qin Liangyu.
A turtle dove gun weighing more than 20 kilograms began to poke its head out of the white-poled soldier camp, and then with a bang, it penetrated a shield cart on the opposite side. The screams of Jiannu infantry suddenly came from behind the shield cart.
After the ten turtledove guns penetrated the Donglu's shield chariot, the Donglu's offensive weakened a lot. Some infantry soldiers no longer dared to hide behind the shield chariot and began to dodge to both sides, causing the formation to become crowded and chaotic. The number of heavy arrows gradually decreased.
Seeing this, the white-armed soldiers began to advance under the orders of Qin Liangyu, Qin Minping and other generals, and ran forward, directly breaking into the stopped shield car. Among them, the white-armed soldiers in the front row directed their hooks and sickles towards the shield-carrying vehicles. The Donglu's steps were hooked, like a sickle, and with a click, the legs of these shield-holding Donglu were cut off.
