"These idiots will die sooner or later. Can't they be bolder and attack in the opposite direction?"
"It's okay this time, there's no chance again!"
"One is the Lord of Daijin who calls himself Tiancong, and the other is a master of Fuso Art of War. He has lost even the most basic blood!"
"Damn, it's a good thing I know the current situation and fell quickly, otherwise I would have been tricked to death by these two idiots!"
Tulu Baihu's face was calm, his eyes were full of complexities, but in his heart he was angrily cursing the rapidly retreating slave-building rebel army.
"Finally retreated!"
Chongzhen and Yuan Keli in the front row breathed a sigh of relief.
To be honest, they were really afraid that the slave-building coalition would risk their lives and charge in the opposite direction.
This is because Cao Wenzhao took away 70% of the Fo Lang machine guns and tiger squat cannons here, 20% of the palm mines, 70% of the land mines, and 90% of the flintlock guns.
Apart from more than 40,000 flying thunder bombs and 50,000 palm mines, they don't have many powerful firearms. After three more rounds of bombing, the firearms will be exhausted and their secrets will be exposed.
If the Jiannu coalition forces charge in the opposite direction, they will have to fight hand-to-hand after breaking through the remaining Tiger Crouching Cannons, Folan Cannons, and Palm Mines.
Fortunately, the slave-building coalition retreated.
But to take a step back, they are not afraid even if the Jiannu attack in reverse. After all, trenches have been dug by the Jiannu for several miles around here, and they have been riddled with holes by tens of thousands of flying thunder cannons.
Not to mention the cavalry charge, the infantry has difficulty running. If they dare to charge, even the few remaining firearms can kill a large part of them.
"Your Majesty, facing the bombardment of such violent firearms like ours, retreating would be the first choice for anyone in charge of commanding the troops!"
"That's true!"
Chongzhen nodded, agreeing with Yuan Keli's words.
If this were placed in the war of resistance of later generations, these scenes would be considered child's play, and the baptism of hundreds of thousands of tons of artillery shells would be commonplace.
But it is absolutely unimaginable in ancient battlefields where explosive firearms are rare today.
After Chongzhen responded, he turned to look at Tulu Baihu on the side and said calmly: "Tulu Baihu Khan, do you agree with what Yuan Aiqing said?"
"Yes, yes, that's what Mr. Yuan Ge said, but if it were me... I would have run away a long time ago!"
Tulu Baihu looked at the half-smiling expression on Yuan Keli's face, trembled all over, expressed his stance quickly, and then woke up instantly.
The emperor was knocking him.
He knew the layout of the Ming army. If he were on Jiannu's side and faced with such a dense offensive, he would definitely run faster than Huang Taiji and Yagyu Munomi!
If it's a face-to-face fight, even if the enemy is three to five times their size, they can still fight.
But now we don't even see the enemy's face. A single firearm directly kills dozens of people, and there are tens of thousands of them. How can we fight this battle?
Yuan Keli thought for a moment, turned to look at Li Ruolian, and said in a deep voice: "Commander Li sent a message to Cao Wenzhao's ministry that the Jiannu coalition forces have retreated towards them. Once contact is made, the main purpose is to delay and slow down the offensive.
Respond to all changes by remaining unchanged, waiting for reinforcements from Mao Wenlong and Sun Chuanting! "
"Instruct Mao Wenlong's troops, once the Jiannu coalition forces pass Tianmo, they will immediately march towards Turtle City to block the retreat of the Jiannu coalition forces."
"Instruct Sun Chuanting, after the Jiannu Allied Forces passed Tianmo, they marched to Yin Mountain immediately. If they can reach Cao Wenzhao's headquarters in time, it would be best. If not, then intercept and kill the fish that slipped through the net from behind!"
"Instruct Ma Xianglin to immediately build a pontoon bridge to ensure that the Moon Island section can be quickly passed by the army, and to prevent small groups of Jiannu slaves from escaping along the river!"
"Command the army to gather the troops and set off in a quarter of an hour to pursue the Jiannu coalition forces! The Hongyi artillery and ballistae immediately caught up.
Chase and launch at the same time, don't give them any time to rest, force them to retreat quickly, and outlast them! "
"Send all the scouts out and closely monitor the movements of the slave-building alliance. If there is any abnormality, report it immediately!"
"Tell all the soldiers that the final battle is coming, and this battle will determine the success of the Northern Campaign.
After defeating the northern border of the Ming Dynasty, we will gain hundreds of years of peace. The foreign enemies of the Ming Dynasty will be gone, and we will be remembered by history! "
…
Military orders were conveyed one after another.
The figures flashed, and the soldiers of each department quickly moved under the leadership of their respective generals.
Every sergeant's face is full of fighting spirit. The foreign enemies that have troubled the Ming Dynasty for decades are about to be killed by them. Can you not be excited?
The Jiannu coalition forces quickly withdrew toward the northeast, as if there were fierce beasts chasing behind them.
No, the Ming army chasing after them was much more terrifying than the savage beasts.
Tens of thousands of cavalry and infantry fled for their lives, and the team stretched out for several miles. The rumbling sound resounded for miles around, sending up smoke and dust all over the sky, and startling countless birds and beasts along the way.
Wherever the army passed, the road became much smoother, as if it had been plowed.
Abandoning their baggage, they were extremely fast, but no matter how fast they were, they were not as fast as the Ming army who had established a temporary post station to deliver messages.
When the sun set in the west, the two riders rushed to a camp outside Dangwan City.
"Commander Cao, this is an urgent message from Mr. Yuan Ge!"
Cao Wenzhao took the letter from the messenger, opened it and glanced at it. His eyes were filled with joy at first, and then his face became serious.
"Please Wei Zhi..."
"Old Cao, urgent military situation, could it be that the slave-building coalition forces have retreated?"
Before Cao Wenzhao finished speaking, Wei Yang, the commander of the Huben Guards who was patrolling outside, entered the tent, looked at the letter in Cao Wenzhao's hand, and asked.
Seeing Cao Wenzhao nodding, Wei Yang's expression became serious.
They knew the entire layout very well. It was just a false shot along the Yalu River. Whether it was Tulu Baihu Khan's instigation of rebellion, the attack of hot air balloons, the psychological warfare, and the coverage of artillery fire,
The purpose was to force the slave-building coalition forces out of the criss-crossing trench camps with a radius of three to four miles.
And their place is the final battlefield of the Battle of Beida. No matter whether the slave-building coalition is willing or not, they can only retreat towards them.
Wei Yang looked at the vaguely visible flying dust in the distance, and said confidently: "Old Cao, relax, Tengxiang's left guard is the most elite among Tengxiang's four guards, and our Tiger Guard is the most elite among the Forbidden Army.
The two most elite armies of the Ming Dynasty, plus the Royal Thunder Battalion, and the firearms they were equipped with, not to mention that they could stop the Jiannu coalition forces, but they would be able to stop them for at least three or four hours.
By then, Commander Sun Du and Mao Wenlong's troops, as well as the pursuing army, would be able to surround them. "
After listening to Wei Yang's words and thinking about the equipment, Cao Wenzhao nodded.
There are more than 35,000 flintlock muskets and 800,000 fixed-loading tubes, which can feed the slave-building coalition forces.
"Having said that, we must not take it lightly. We have been working hard for so long just for this moment!"
"rest assured!"
"Especially the mine array, there must be no problems!"
"I am personally responsible for this matter, there is absolutely no problem!"
"good!"
…
After the two chatted about the entire deployment for a while, they left the tent.
