"Heh, the Tartars of the Golden State Guard are very confident. They actually dare to come out of the city to fight with us!”
At the pier outside the city, Zhang Yang, the commander of the Second Army Guard, watched as the gates of Jinzhou City opened. 1,500 Tartar soldiers and 3,000 Han soldiers walked out. A total of 4,500 soldiers got into formation.
He raised his eyebrows and smiled at the staff officers beside him.
"The Tartar Army is indeed courageous and much stronger than the Dengzhou Prefecture Army. However, these Tartars coming out of the city to fight is exactly what we want. As long as we keep these 4,500 Tartar Army soldiers outside the city, the Golden State Guard will fall without attacking!”The advisors all laughed.
They were already prepared to suffer heavy casualties and attack the city violently. They did not expect the Tartars to give them such a surprise. How could they not be happy?
Perhaps the Tartar commander thought that even if he couldn't defeat them, he would be able to retreat and defend the city.
However, the soldiers of the second guard would soon let them know that they wanted to go back after coming out. That was really thinking too much!
"Let the commoners speed up the construction of ladders and wooden planks to cross the moat. We must take advantage of the moment when we defeat the Tartar army to take down the Golden State Guard!”
Zhang Yang thought for a moment and ordered the advisors.
Ever since the military officers were able to produce, Lin Feng's entire army, every thousand households and above, had a professional military command group, the Staff Committee.
He helped the commander handle all kinds of complicated military affairs and plan all kinds of battle plans.
He didn't need to do it himself and think of all the details of the battle on the spot.
It could be said that the establishment of the Staff Committee had raised the combat strength of the entire army to another level.
No matter what the situation was, there was always a plan. It was much more powerful than coming up with a solution at the last minute.
Whether it was the commanding or the operation of the army, with a preparatory battle plan, they could carry out it in an orderly manner.
At the same time, it also fully displayed the subjective initiative of the officers, allowing them to better seize the opportunity! They didn't need to see the fighter aircraft, but because they didn't have a detailed plan, they couldn't keep up with the operation and could only lose the fighter aircraft in vain.
With the command from the commander, Zhang Yang, the 5,000 soldiers of the Second Guard began to move in an orderly manner. The 10,000 farmers under him also began to move. They cut down wood crazily to make siege ladders and bridge planks.
......
The 5,000 soldiers of the Weihai Guards were lined up neatly. The sword-shield soldiers were armed to the teeth, wearing steel armor and helmets, and holding steel shields and swords. The spearmen who also had steel armor and helmets stood behind the sword-shield soldiers, ready to stab with their spears at any time.
The archers were on both sides, ready to attack at any time.
What was even more terrifying was that close to 500 cavalrymen were still not far away, eyeing them like tigers eyeing their prey.
Golden State Guard Garrison Officer Jia La felt immense pressure. They could not see anything in the city, but once they faced each other, they could feel the terrifying pressure.
This army that came from the sea, whether it was weapons, equipment, or the appearance of the army, they far surpassed the Great Ming army.
It was really hard for him to imagine that this was an army from Great Ming.
He was too clear about what Da Ming's army was like. Their weapons were of inferior quality, and their armors would be destroyed with a single slash. Not only did their guns often misfire, but they also often self-destructed.
There was no training all year round, and everyone was afraid of death.
But what about this army?
Their weapons and equipment were so good that he was envious. Although they did not have any powerful weapons like firearms or cannons, they were well-trained and moved like one person. He knew that this army was very strong.
"Our Qing Dynasty soldiers are the strongest!!”
"Attack!"
But very quickly, Jia La of the Golden State Guard roared in his heart to boost his confidence. He pulled out his saber and took the initiative to attack.
The bows used by the Manchu Tartars were all heavy bows. This kind of bow and arrow had a short range, but it was extremely powerful.
Once it got close, it could even pierce through armor.
As such, the Manchu Tartars did not move out. Instead, the 3,000 Han banners began to form up and approach the Second Guard. The 1,500 Tartar Banner Soldiers followed behind. While they were recuperating, they also acted as the supervising troops, forcing the Han banners to risk their lives to attack.
"Sword-shield soldiers, advance! Spearmen, follow!"
"Archers, prepare your arrows!”
Seeing that the Tartar Army had started to attack, the commander of the Second Guard, Zhang Yang, was not afraid at all. He faced them head-on. The Weihai Army was not afraid of anyone. With a single order, the entire army moved forward.
This time, in order to stop the elite Tartar soldiers from leaving the city, they didn't guard the defense line and wait for the enemy to attack. Instead, they directly attacked and used their powerful combat strength to destroy the Tartar army.
As the two armies were 300 meters, 200 meters, 100 meters apart,
"Charge!"
The Han army of the Tartars began to charge, and the sword-shield soldiers and spearmen of the Weihai Army also began to speed up.
The archers on both sides drew their bows and shot three waves of arrows.
There were only a few soldiers wearing armor and helmets. Only a few officers had such equipment.
Thus, the three waves of arrows caused huge casualties to the Han army.
The Tartar Banner Soldiers supervising the battle also drew their bows and shot arrows.
On the battlefield of Great Ming, the Tartar Heavy Bows that had caused countless Great Ming soldiers to turn pale were powerless when they landed on the Weihai Guards 'Second Guards.
Regardless of whether it hit the steel armor or the helmet, it was blocked and the arrowhead broke on the spot!
The Weihai Guard sword-shield soldiers and spearmen who were shot were unharmed.
There were only a dozen unlucky fellows who were shot in the face or on their arms and shoulders.
The heavy bow that the Tartar Army had placed their hopes on was useless. The Tartar Jiala's expression changed on the spot!
In the past, when had the Tartar army not sent the Ming army flying with their heavy bows?
The Ming army suffered heavy losses and their morale weakened before the battle even started?!
But now, the heavy bows that they relied on had become useless!
" This is impossible!!"
The Tartar Golden State Guard shouted in disbelief. He had lost an arm before he even started fighting. It was hard to accept!
But now that the Han army had already charged forward, they could not retreat even if they wanted to.
He gritted his teeth and roared,"Charge!"”
There was nothing he could do. If the soldiers behind him did not charge up, they could only take the hits from behind and could not fight back.
Because the Tartar Banner Soldiers didn't have much armor, each of them was an elite warrior.
There was no other reason than the lack of resources!
The Manchu Tartars had raw materials such as iron ore, but they did not have the technology to make armor.
It was useless no matter how much money they robbed!
Warframes, especially high-quality steel armor, could not be made by any random force.
Even if it was Da Ming, because of the corruption within, if he wanted to make fine steel armor, the price would be extremely touching.
Of course, there were also cheap ones, but the quality was extremely touching.
"Kill!"
The well-trained Weihai Wei sword-shield soldiers charged forward like ferocious tigers descending from the mountains.
The two thousand sword-shield soldiers were in the front row, and they charged forward like an avalanche, fiercely colliding with the three thousand flags of the Han Army.
Because they wore steel armor, helmets, and had steel shields and sabers in their hands, they could clash with the enemy without any fear.
On the other hand, more than 99% of the Han army did not have any battle armor. They only had wooden shields inlaid with iron sheets. They were naturally weaker. How could they dare to clash with their lives? Instead, they timidly raised their wooden shields to defend their bodies.
As a result, they had protected themselves well, but their backline was exposed.
"Stab!"
"Stab!"
"Stab!"
The pikemen behind Weihai Wei caught up to the exposed soldiers and stabbed them with their spears.
"Ahhhh!"
On the crowded battlefield, the pikemen stabbed one person at a time, and it was difficult to miss.
The soldiers of the Han Army screamed as their bodies were pierced by the spears. They fell to the ground, wailing as they bled to death.
After being dealt with by the spearmen, they began to attack the sword-shield soldiers of the Han army.
First, the Weihai Wei sword-shield soldier carried a steel shield on his shoulder and rammed into the enemy. Then, he slashed with his saber, forcing the Han sword-shield soldier to retreat and dodge.
The Weihai Guards took advantage of the loophole and stabbed forward with their spears.
The iron-skinned wooden shield could not block the sharp steel spear at all. It was pierced through on the spot. In the next moment, a spear stabbed forward and stabbed the sword-shield soldier on the spot.
Whether it was weapons, equipment, quality of soldiers, or combat coordination, the Han army flag of the Manchu Tartars was incomparable and completely behind.
The two armies clashed and fell into a disadvantage, retreating again and again.
