What Yu Dayou wants to prepare is actually very simple. This thing is often used in wars in the past, especially in naval battles. However, after the muskets and artillery were now rarely used by the Ming army.

So, what is he going to prepare?

This thing is actually a rocket, which means wrapping the arrow in front of it with an oil cloth, ignite it, and then shooting it out.

At this moment, the Ming army's long-range attacks were basically muskets and artillery. Not to mention rockets, they even rarely brought bows. The 100,000 Ming army had only about four or five thousand bows and five thousand arrows, and only tens of thousands of arrows were used to attack the city, which was far from enough, so he had to go back and prepare.

As for why he had to prepare for the Rockets, Yu Dayou didn't even need to explain. As soon as he said it, Yang Cong understood.

Because the giant shields of others are all made of wood, the rockets were basically ruined as soon as they shot them. Last time, Yu Dayou used the rockets to break the shield formation. However, at that time, the Tartars had not had so many giant shields and were not so big, so four or five thousand longbows were enough.

Now Ming Jun wants to add some oil cloth or something, it is very simple. If it really doesn't work, it can be done with oil from stir-frying.

The court was rich, and the Ming army's logistics supply was quite sufficient at this moment. Even the oil for cooking was prepared according to the head, with a minimum of a few kilograms per person, which was enough to shoot rockets.

The problem is that the Ming army has really not brought any bows at this moment. The army of 100,000 can't even get a 10,000 longbows, and the arrows are even less.

Fortunately, the railway has been built near Songshan Fort, and some of the arsenals of border towns such as Xuanfu Town, Datong Town and Taiyuan Town are missing.

It turned out that when muskets and cannons were eliminated, Yang Cong did not let anyone throw away all the arches. After all, the number of muskets and cannons is limited at this time, and it would be almost the same as equipting more than 100,000 people. If something big happens, hundreds of thousands of troops need to be recruited, and the arches can still be equipped for ordinary soldiers.

Of course, Altan Khan didn't know that the Ming army was preparing rockets. He just thought that the Ming army felt that tens of thousands of people were not enough to capture Songshan Fort, so he went back to find a way to go.

He didn't know about this rocket or something. Last time he also suffered a small loss under the attack of the Ming army's rockets.

However, he didn't take it seriously, because he was going to raid the Ming army at that time and did not prepare anything to put out fires. It was different now. They were defending the city, with a lot of cold water, sand and fires, so he was not afraid of the Ming army's rocket attack.

In his impression, the Ming army had few bows. Now they had muskets and cannons, so why would they use bows? At least, bows are no longer the main long-range attack method of the Ming army. When the Ming army fired rockets last time, he discovered that there were only a few thousand bows in the Ming army with more than 100,000 Ming army. If there were no things to put out the fire, it would indeed suffer a great loss. With fires to put out the fires, it would be different. The rockets shot out by thousands of bows are not that terrifying.

Another more important thing is that they have an advantage in range as the defender of the city. If the Ming army rushed over to set up rockets, he could completely let the archers on the city wall fight back. He had more than a few thousand archers under his command. If he shot against each other, the Ming army would not be an opponent at all, so he did not feel at ease with this matter.

He believed that the Ming army should have gone back to expand its troops, because it was impossible for tens of thousands of Ming troops to capture Songshan Fort, which was stationed at 50,000 troops, and even if he did not need cavalry to assist from the side, he felt that he would have to at least 200,000 troops.

The Ming army had obviously less than 100,000 people, so they must go back and expand their troops.

Of course, it is also possible that the Ming army gave up. After all, the 200,000 troops were not a joke. If there were heavy casualties and injuries during the siege, it would be troublesome.

He is also a head coach. Of course, he knows that when fighting, you cannot just look at the gains and losses in front of you, but also consider the overall success or failure.

Can't the Ming army defeat Songshan Fort?

Even he didn't believe this. If the Ming army really acted fiercely, let alone the fortresses stationed by 50,000 people, they could take down even the cities stationed by 100,000 people. For example, when the Hongwu Dynasty and Yongle Dynasty, the Ming army could have been a million troops at every turn. Dadu, which was more than 100,000 troops stationed by more than 200,000 troops stationed by Qingyang, which was irresistible in front of the Ming army, let alone a small Songshan Fort.

The question is whether the Ming army will fight to attack Songshan Fort.

He believed that it was very likely not. From the perspective of the head coach, there was no need to fight this battle. It would be no big loss for the Ming army to not be able to seize Songshan Fort, so why bother to attack with all your life?

If more than 100,000 were killed or injured in the siege, the border troops in the northwest of the Ming Dynasty would basically be abolished, so how can we defend so many border towns in the northwest?

The head coach of the Ming army seemed to have similar ideas to him. Several days passed, but he did not see the Ming army increase his troops. After the Ming army's fortress was repaired, there was no movement. He even prepared to go back to the Khan Court to rest.

Anyway, the Ming army will not attack, so what is the significance of Lao Dai's Songshan Fort like a pile of rocks?

Early that morning, just after Chen Shi, Altan Khan had not even got up yet. The guards outside suddenly came to report: "Report, Khan, the Ming army is here again!"

The Ming army is here again?

How is that possible!

He got up in a daze, put on his armor under the service of his personal guards, ran to the "city tower" and saw that the Ming army was coming again!

The Ming army's formation was still so scary, and the chariots and artillery vehicles were still dense, making the scalp numb.

However, Altan Khan had no expression of panic at all. At this moment, his face was full of inexplicableness.

Could this Ming army commander be crazy?

The Ming army outside Songshan Fort looked less than 100,000, and the number was almost exactly the same as last time, without a single difference.

There is no increase in troops, why are you here to come? Are you trying to shoot a few shots, scare people, and then go back to sleep?

He really couldn't figure out what Mingjun came over to do. If he wanted to attack the city, he could attack last time. Anyway, the last time was the same as this time, so why bother to run around?

On this side, Altan Khan was still confused and confused. So, Yu Dayou had already started to arrange troops.

He raised his telescope, glanced at the situation in Songshan Fort, and then ordered loudly: "Changsheng, lead 8,000 chariots to defend the left and right, and please let the Tatar cavalry raid."

Tang Kekuan still said without hesitation and obeyed the order, then drove the horse and led the troops.

However, the chariots that were deploying the two wings this time were obviously fewer than last time, and it seemed that only half of the troops had been taken.

At this moment, the standard configuration of each chariot of the Ming army is five people, and the standard configuration of each artillery car is five people, five people in a group and ten people in a team. Each team can be equipped with two chariots, two chariots, and one chariot and one chariot. It has flexible forms and diverse formations.

Eight thousand chariots, that is, there are nearly 40,000 people and horses left in the formation.

Yu Dayou then ordered: "All artillery vehicles line up artillery arrays one mile away from the city wall, ready to bombard."

With his order, nearly 20,000 more than 4,000 cannon chariots were pushed to set up the formation, with more than 4,000 chariots and more than 20,000 soldiers left in the formation.

At this time, he suddenly pulled out his sword and shouted: "Others, follow me."

After saying that, he directly rode the horse and took the remaining chariots and soldiers to force him towards Songshan Fort.

Fortunately, Yang Cong is not here now. If Yang Cong is there, he would probably be amused and crying.
