Yue Tuo frowned. He did not feel the same as Luo Xiujin, but had an objection to the "Ming Army General".

"Coward, no timid!" Yue Tuo finally stretched out his hand, pointed at the guy who was still on the boat, and cursed disdainfully.

No wonder Yue Tuo has such confidence. There are thousands of Jurchen cavalry around him, as well as Tong Yangxing's Han soldiers. Not to mention hundreds of Ming troops, even if there are two or three times more, it is still an absolute advantage in terms of military strength.

Seeing the Ming army's floating bridge extending and estimating the progress and time, Tong Yangxing also thought it was strange. Why didn't the Ming army wait for the floating bridge to be completed? Should we cross the river by boat or have another plan?

Tong Yangxing glanced at Luo Xiujin, opened his mouth, and finally did not continue to persuade Yue Tuo because he could not express the evidence.

Of course he knew Yue Tuo’s thoughts. He finally had the opportunity to attack him halfway, so how could he let it go easily?

There are too few hundreds of Ming troops, so it’s better to have more! The Ming troops were so scared that they were killed in the battle. Yue Tuo thought so.

The boats returned one after another, and after docking, they received the second group of soldiers. However, only 300 musketeers were on board, while the other boats were loaded with cannons that looked like Wuhan Iron and Steel Vehicles, 200 kilograms of Francs, and a lot of ammunition.

The boat left the shore, the wooden oars rowed and rushed forward quickly. In the eyes of our enemy and our generals, the boat leaned on the shallows.

"Master Beile, the enemy has brought the artillery here." Luo Xiujin was a little anxious and pointed.

Tong Yangxing blinked his eyes, feeling that if he waited like this, he would probably not be as easy and simple as Yue Tuo thought.

"Master Beile, please lead the army to fight!" Tong Yangxing volunteered and reminded Yue Tuo in a tactful way that it was time to take action.

Yue Tuo touched his chin and thought for a while, and said, "Shi Wuli, please lead the army to fight! Benbeile then led the cavalry to follow up, and he must defeat this Ming army in one fell swoop."

"Yes!" Tong Yangxing bowed and stepped back.

The general Ma Guangyuan received the order from Tong Yangxing and immediately stepped forward to take the initiative to serve as the vanguard. He had a large number of troops and attacked an isolated army across the river. Ma Guangyuan wanted to compete for his first contribution.

"Be careful." Tong Yangxing nodded and agreed, ordering Ma Guang to lead 1,000 Han soldiers as the vanguard? He led 2,000 Han soldiers to follow up.

The whimpering horn sounded? Han soldiers ran out from the woods, grass, and earthen mountains to assemble. With the loud shouts of officers at all levels and the whip of whips, the formation was listed.

The Han soldiers were all equipped with bird guns? Single-soldier firearms that could be equipped in large quantities? That's the case. When fighting with the Ming army, they also got some flintlock rifles, but they were too few. What's the use of? It can only be said that it was a long way off.

In addition to the bird gun, the Han soldiers also pushed a few cannons? The old-fashioned ones are quite bulky? And the power is not too great.

Of course, Tong Yangxing knew the difference in weapons and equipment between the two sides, but the Han soldiers were winning because of the large number of people. If the Ming army landed on the shore was as powerful as his troops, he would have to think carefully about whether he would take the lead.

To hide? The Jurchen cavalry and Han soldiers were both far away from the river bank? It was about four or five miles. Of course, on the battlefield, or for the cavalry, this distance was nothing.

The Fran machine cannon was carried ashore and set up; the musketeers were queuing more closely? They were ready to face the enemy coming from afar.

The boat sails to the south shore? Load the third batch of musketeers. Perhaps they do not have to abandon the boat and land on the shore, but will fire on the attacking enemy on the ship.

The sound of horse hooves roared? The smoke and dust rose, and Jiannu's cavalry gathered together? Following the Han soldiers, pressing against the hundreds of Ming troops standing in the shallows.

"The first row of cannons? Elevation angle 67 degrees..."

"The second row of cannons, 56 elevation angle..."

“The third row…”

Behind the sand dike, the artillery officer shouted loudly, and hundreds of artillery rows lined up to adjust their elevation angles, and the black muzzles pointed diagonally towards the sky.

The Ming Dynasty, whose recent range can reach more than 800 meters, can cover a range of 100 meters to more than 600 meters ahead of its army through staging arrangements.

This is also the reliance of the Ming army's daring to cross the river alone. It concentrated hundreds of artillery pieces at a time, not only that they have never had the battle in Liaodong, but may also be one of the best in the world today.

Xiong Tingbi stood on the sand embankment, and his telescope was not put down for a long time. The hundreds of Ming troops on the other side stood firmly and fiercely, emitting a fearless aura.

If every Ming army had such combat power, it would be just around the corner to beat Liao.

Xiong Tingbi secretly sighed that the Ming army in Liaodong and southern Liaoning had obviously much more practical experience than those in western Liaoning. When the equipment training was similar, the gap in combat power was mostly reflected in practical experience.

This is also determined by objective conditions. The battle fought by the Ming army in western Liaoning was the time when Jiannu attacked Ningyuan. Without a war, how could there be so much practical experience?

Of course, there are several troops in western Liaoning that have supported the battle in southern Liaoning. Like Dengzhen and Jinzhen, they have grown their practical experience through harassment and rotational battles, and their combat power is stronger.

As a wise commander, he will naturally assign tasks based on the strength and strength of each branch. It is quite difficult to cross the river and stick to it, so Xiong Tingbi naturally wants to send Zhang Pan's mixed cooperation.

The ship Zhang Pan was riding off the shore and sailed to the opposite side. As the chief of the entire association, he naturally had personal guards and Xiong Tingbi watching, so he could only take the third batch of ships.

Looking at the situation on the other side, Zhang Pan narrowed his eyes. From time to time, the third batch of troops would no longer have to abandon the ship and land. On both sides of the prominent shallows, the musketeers on the ship would fire side-strike the attacking enemies.

Such an arrangement made the front of the close attacks needed by the troops who were defending the shallows narrower, and the density of firepower was increased.

On the sand dike, Xiong Tingbi issued an order to the artillery commander. Only a row of artillery can be left to standby, and the remaining artillery can be fired freely when the enemy enters the range.

There is no half-hit bombardment. If he can use artillery to block the enemy's attack, Xiong Tingbi will not be polite. He will not be like Yue Tuo, with big eyes and small belly, and greedy and incompetent snakes swallowing elephant.

As long as hundreds of loyal and brave soldiers can reduce casualties, it doesn’t matter how many enemies they kill. The prelude to crossing the river to attack the city, if the enemy can know its strength and its confidence in defending the city is reduced, the goal will be achieved.

The artillery officer received the order and checked the direction and elevation of the shooting again, directed the artillery to load the shells, and prepared for the bombardment.

The enemy on the other side did not know the hidden murderous intent, and all his attention was on the Ming army who were getting closer and closer.

In the Ming army's array, several artillery officers measured the distance from the enemy and kept passing the data to the other straits in flags.

The communication and contact information uses drum sounds, gong sounds, horns, and arrows, but the flag verb is very simple, and with the help of a telescope, it can be transmitted very quickly.

"Be prepared, you're going to fire." Zhao Huizu looked at the flag command on the sand dike and reminded loudly: "Listen to my order!"

"Yes, General." Zhang Zongbao shouted and teased.
