Chapter 267

The Sahalian vanguard army in front had arrived at the Yungaishan Village built by Li Guodong. In front of the Later Jin army was a dirt city that did not look strong. The dirt city was half a mile long, eight feet high, and a trench five feet deep outside. There was a gate in the middle. There were cliffs on both sides of the dirt city.

"The barbarians built the Tucheng very quickly. The scouts had discovered that one-third of the construction was still not completed? It has only been a few hours since then? It has been repaired!" Sahalian gasped.

"Master Beile, the scout cavalry we sent to the back has not returned yet, and it has been an hour since we were about to have Minggou ambush behind us, right?" A Jiala Ezhen reminded.

Sahalian thought about it carefully and found that an hour had passed. The first batch of fifty scouts and mailers sent out had not returned yet. He really felt something was wrong, so he sent another hundred scouts and mailers to explore the way behind.

The Later Jin Sweat Cavalry arrived at the place where the whistle cavalry battle had just happened. The ground was covered with headless corpses that were stripped into white pigs, and the blood and brains were covered with the ground, proving that a tragic battle had just happened here. The fifty naked headless corpses were all short and strong, and they were obviously the warriors of their Great Jin Kingdom.

"Who killed our fifty Jin warriors!" Niu Lue, who was leading the way, yelled to the sky angrily.

One hundred scouts and whistle cavalry walked more than ten miles back and were surprised to find that behind their vanguard army, a huge camp appeared, with three trenches on the outside, three sheep and horse walls, and a row of wooden fences in the inner circle, blocking the retreat of the Jin army and cutting off the connection between Sahalian's vanguard army and the main force of the Later Jin behind.

"Our retreat was cut off by Minggou, so we have to go back and report to Mr. Beile as soon as possible." Niu Luezhen said.

The scout rode back quickly and reported to Sahalian: "Master Bell, the road behind us has also been blocked by Minggou! Minggou built a camp behind us!"

The vanguard troops led by Sahalian were all elite heavy cavalry of Alihachao battalion. If they wanted to bypass the Ming army's villages from both mountains and forests, they could only give up their war horses. The cavalry of Alihachao battalion was not like the soldiers of Bayala camp and Kabushxianchao battalion. The bayala camp and Kabushxianchao battalion were cavalry on horseback, and when they got off horseback, they were elite infantry. When Alihachao battalion got off horseback, their combat effectiveness was seriously weakened. Moreover, since the Ming army would intercept themselves at both ends, maybe there were some mechanisms and traps waiting for them in the mountains and forests.

"Hurry, the front army is the back army, the back army is the front army, and turn back to attack the tunnel!" Sahalian did not dare to attack Tucheng, so he ordered his cavalry from Alihachaoha camp to turn his head immediately and rushed to the exit of the valley twenty miles away.

"Brother, why did Jiannu run away?" Tang Chong asked in confusion as he looked at the retreating Jin army.

"The Jiannu must have been the scout who discovered that we had built a camp behind them. They thought it was easier to attack the camp than to attack our Tucheng, and they could also make a pass, so they went back." Li Guodong replied.

For more than twenty miles, the cavalry with one man and two horses only took half an hour to arrive.

Sahalian discovered that the camp in front had not even been built, but was located in a raised mountain road, with a terrain slightly higher than the valley where they were. There were three trenches and three sheep and horse walls on the outside, and a thin wooden fence at the bottom. So he thought it would be much easier to break through this camp than to break through a city.

There was a vague noise from people behind the camp. Sahalian didn't know what the Ming army behind was busy, maybe it was repairing fortifications to prevent Dorgon and Yuetuo's army from coming and preventing them from saving Sahalian.

"Are you afraid that our Great Jin warriors will not be able to break through such a simple camp? Since entering Datong, I don't know how many military forts that are much harder to beat than this!" Sahalian snorted coldly.

But when attacking the camp, he needs to use his cavalry as infantry.

The Later Jin army in the valley dismounted one after another. Facing the camp in front, they could only attack with force, otherwise they could only turn back and attack Tucheng, which was a hundred times more difficult than this camp.

"Tell me the order, rest for half an hour and launch an attack!" Sahalian shouted.

The drum of the Later Jin Dynasty sounded, and the black Later Jin soldiers advanced forward. The queue was quiet and neat. Although they were put into their pockets, they still showed a strong military posture.

"Brothers, the Tartars are here to die! Killing slaves and making meritorious contributions today!" Han Dashan drew his sword and pointed at the Later Jin army that was rushing in.

Two powerful twelve-pound field guns had been loaded with solid shells. They only waited for the Later Jin army to rush into the range, and then fired guns to bombard the Jin army's formation.

"Let it go!" the artillery officer roared.

Two deafening roars resounded throughout the valley, thick white smoke rose in the Ming army camp, two twelve-pound field cannons retreated, and two solid shells drew a low and straight arc, pricking the crowd of Later Jin a mile away.

The heavy twelve-pound shell pierced into the dense crowd of Later Jin. The Jin soldiers hit by the shells had their shields shattered, and the human body was knocked into scattered blood and flesh, and the broken weapons flew into the sky. The two shells pulled out two straight lines in one go, tearing at least seventy or eighty Later Jin soldiers. The momentum of the shells flying disappeared, landed on the ground, hit the hard ground, and jumped up again, rushing around in the dense crowd, breaking hands and feet immediately when they hit their bodies, and tore them mercilessly. By the time the two shells stopped moving, at least one hundred and sixty Jin soldiers had died under the cannon.

The powerful twelve-pound shell even penetrated into the white-armored soldiers under the Jin army's rear formation, smashing five white-armored Bayalas to pieces.

"Red Cannon!" A scream came from the Later Jin crowd.

Only the powerful Red Barbarian cannon can penetrate nearly a hundred people! The exaggerated saying is that one cannon is flew ten miles away. Although this cannon has not flew ten miles away, it has also hit nearly a hundred steps in the crowd. The person who hits is either dead or injured, and the injured ones fall off their bodies, and they will definitely not be able to survive.

"Roar up! Mingdo's red cannon is very slow to reload!" Sahalian pulled out the golden knife and pointed it forward and shouted.

The gunners nervously cleaned the barrel. While using mops to clean the barrel, they also cooled the barrel. Then they stuffed the fixed charge pack into the barrel and stuffed a solid shell into the barrel.

The twelve-pound field cannons had not yet been loaded, and six six-pound field cannons began to show their power. First, two six-pound cannons fired volleys, and two shells flew into the Later Jin crowd 250 steps away. Although the penetration power of the six-pound cannon was far less than that of the twelve-pound cannons, these two shells pierced into the Later Jin crowd and took away six or seventy lives.
