"Everyone, dismount and line up." Su Polu, who was marching in a hurry, ordered hurriedly after hearing the spies' report.
Know yourself and your enemy and you will be victorious in every battle. Su Polu knew the strength of his men and the strength of Jiannu.
Although there are ten times as many Jiannu on my side, and although they also ride war horses, they cannot be called cavalry.
To put it bluntly, they are just infantry moving quickly on horses.
In addition, most soldiers are equipped with Rumi guns, so loading and shooting on horseback is a dream.
And what about the Jiannu cavalry? Many people grew up on horses.
The weapons and equipment are also specialized cavalry equipment.
If there is really going to be a cavalry battle, even if your side wins in the end, the losses will not be small.
Although Su Polu is not a very smart person. , but using one's own shortcomings to attack the other's strengths would not lead to stupid things.
"Tap, step, step." When Aixinjueluo Yongye led the cavalry to a place not far from Su Polu and looked at Su Polu's army from a distance, Aixinjueluo Yongye's face changed. The smile disappeared immediately.
Aixinjueluo Yongye is not a fool. It is not an ordinary Ming army who can dismount and set up the formation in such a short period of time.
Facing the serious formation of the Ming army, Aixinjueluo Yongye did not use cavalry to directly charge into the formation. Instead, he sent people back to find the Han army to pull the heavy armor over.
"Go and tell the Han army to hurry up and get our heavy armor and shields." Aixinjueluo Yongye pointed to a slave beside him and said.
Aixinjueluo Yongye's men are the real elites of Houjin. They can fight on horseback and serve as heavy armor soldiers when dismounted. They came in a hurry this time and did not bring heavy armor. In order to avoid excessive losses, Aixinjueluo Yongye ordered The Han army quickly sent heavy armor over.
About half an hour later, a group of thin-faced and yellow-skinned men pushed over with difficulty pushing several carts. On the carts were Jiannu's heavy armor and shields.
"Get off your horse and get your armor." Aixinjueluo Yongye ordered.
....
"Sir Qianhu, the enemy has moved. They seem to be changing into heavy armor," Zhu Wuxin reported.
"It doesn't matter, I saw it. Give me the order and the whole army will be ready." Just when Aixinjueluo Yongye's troops were changing their heavy armor, Su Polu ordered the whole army to prepare for battle.
It turned out that Su Polu had just seen that the Jiannu cavalry had not launched an attack, so Su Polu ordered half of the soldiers to sit down and rest.
Anyway, there are 1,000 people here. Even if they rest half of the time, there are still 500 people. They can only build slaves with a mere 100 people. 500 armor-plated soldiers holding Rumi guns are enough to crush them.
The heavy armored infantrymen of Houjin, each wearing heavy armor and holding shields, were arranged densely to form a tight defense line. There were about a dozen Houjin archers hiding behind them, slowly approaching the Ming army.
It is about 150 steps (180m) away from the Ming army's front line. The Houjin archers began to shoot towards the sky. At this distance, shooting arrows only serves a harassing purpose.
A chaotic rain of arrows fell, and everyone in Su Polu's army was wearing armor, and almost no one was hurt.
After a wave of arrows, the Hou Jin soldiers continued to advance. When they were 100 steps away, the archers of the Hou Jin soldiers fired again.
Although the rain of arrows falling from the sky was somewhat accurate, it did not cause any damage to the entire Su Polu army except for a blow to their morale.
After two rounds of arrow rain, Hou Jin continued to approach.
When the two sides were 80 steps apart, the Houjin archers fired their arrows with all their strength. Among Su Polu's troops, some unlucky ones were slightly injured.
The injured were quickly dragged away, and soon others were filling in from behind.
Hou Jin continued to approach.
70 steps. 60 steps.
"The whole army moved forward nearly 10 steps and then fired." When the distance between the two shots was only 60 steps, Su Polu finally gave the order to advance.
Although these Lumi guns are products of Zhu Youjian's system and can break armor at a distance of 100m (83 steps), Jiannu's heavy armor is not much better in defense than other armors. The Lumi guns in his hand can only be used when A distance of 90m (75 steps) can be used to break armor.
Moreover, it would not cause much damage to the Jian slaves. In order to completely wipe out this group of Jian slaves, Su Polu only allowed the Jian slaves to be arrogant for a while. Otherwise, they would have been taught how times have changed.
"1, 2, 3...10" Su Polu's soldiers quickly moved forward 10 steps, then squatted down and lit the fire.
At this moment, the distance between the two launches was less than 45 steps (54m).
"Bang, bang, bang." With the fierce gunfire, the shield in Jiannu's hand and the heavy armor on his body were quickly penetrated by Noda's projectiles like paper. Jiannu, who was holding a shield and wearing heavy armor, had no time to react before the projectile penetrated his body.
"Ah, help." "Help me." "The Ming army is a devil."
Although the fire cannons were powerful, except for a few that hit Jiannu's vitals and directly took Jiannu away, most of the projectiles only made Jiannu lose the ability to resist and lay on the ground constantly asking for help.
The huge losses instantly tore apart the fighting consciousness of the Jiannu. Many Jiannu no longer cared about military law and turned around and ran away.
But they forgot that although the heavy armor they wore provided them with good protection, it also restricted their fast movement.
"Bang, bang, bang" the second batch of attacks came quickly,
Then came the third batch.
When Su Polu ordered to stop the attack, Su Polu's men launched a total of 6 concentrated fires.
When the smoke clears. There was no longer any Jiannu standing in front of him.
"Zhu Wuxin, quickly lead 200 soldiers to clean up the battlefield quickly, leaving no slaves behind."
Ignoring the frightened Aixinjueluo Yongye and several Han soldiers who were already scared to death 200m away, Su Polu directly issued an order to clean up the battlefield.
All the slaves, dead or alive, had their heads chopped off.
All the belongings on the body were stripped off and then piled together.
Zhu Wuxin was left with 200 people, and after burning Jiannu's body, Su Polu led the remaining 800 people and continued towards Lushun with Jiannu's head.
At this moment, Aixinjueluo Yongye had already come to his senses and hurriedly turned around and ran away.
"There are still 500 Han troops in Lushun City. As long as they hold Lushun and wait for the reinforcements from Jinzhou to arrive, these Mingzhus must pay the price." Yong Ye comforted himself while running Aisin Gioro.
"Close the city gate. All Han troops who go up to the city wall will be killed without mercy if they disobey."
Under the threat of death, in less than 2 quarters of an hour, all the Han troops were in position. The city gates of Port Arthur were also sealed.
After leaving Liu Yonggui in charge of guarding the city wall, Aixinjueluo Yongye hurried back to the city to summon tribesmen to participate in the defense.
There were few people in the Later Jin Dynasty, but almost all the people were soldiers. There are countless people who are good at shooting.
Although the elite troops guarding Lushun were completely destroyed, it was still not a problem to form a team of about 100 people.
Although it may not be possible to fight with the Ming army outside the city, it is still not a problem to cooperate with the city wall for defense.
"The Ming army is coming!" a sharp-eyed Jiannu shouted directly.
At this time, these slaves were already waiting on the city wall for an hour.
