He sent more cavalry scouts to look for the situation around him.

The horses are transported from the ship, which actually takes up a lot of transportation capacity. One horse takes up the space of ten people.

The horses were too delicate, and more than half of them died during the bumpy journey.

The cost is too high.

So they only had 200 cavalry to serve as scouts.

When you see the enemy from a distance, you should retreat into the infantry formation.

It is impossible to fight against the enemy.

The biggest advantage is that with the Western telescope, you can see the enemy several miles in advance.

In this case, the enemy has little chance of catching up.

And they cannot break away from the infantry phalanx too much.

The cavalry quickly arrived around Zhuangzi to explore the terrain and the enemy's situation.

Soon the scouts reported that there were no ambush around.

This made Yi Zijia very happy.

It's not like they haven't seen blood before. They have fought pirates at sea before and fought red-haired men several times.

But there have really been few large-scale land battles, fought in phalanx formations.

"The prestige of our Kuaijun begins with this Zhuangzi!"

He then ordered the soldiers to divide into dozens of teams, and first cut off Zhuangzi's way out.

Then he sent bows and arrows to persuade them to surrender.

In short, just walk through the process.

Within Zhuangzi, there were more than a dozen Jurchens who were old, weak, sick, and disabled, but they were still very courageous.

"You Nikans, quickly take out your bows, arrows, swords and guns, and go up to the wall to defend!"

"You are not allowed to escape. Anyone who dares to escape will have his whole family beheaded!"

A strong Jurchen man with half an arm missing was waving a knife and directing the soldiers to resist.

These coaters are also trained.

The Jurchens are both soldiers and peasants. Even if they are soldiers, they have to undergo a small amount of military training at this time. At least they have not practiced it, but they have seen it every day.

Here, unlike the Ming Dynasty, practicing martial arts is what makes a master, and studying is what fools and slaves do.

After more than 200 wrappers, 80 people came out in the end. This ratio is already frighteningly high.

Many peasant women were also forced to fight.

They were all shivering.

But they didn't dare to resist those dozen old, weak, sick and disabled Jurchens.

It's very simple, they can kill their opponents, but once the Jurchens come back, they will be finished.

They saw the surrender letter, but Zhuangtou, the one-armed Jurchen, tore it into pieces.

If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't draw a strong bow with one arm, he would have shot back.

"I'll give you a good beating soon. These southerners are all weak dogs!"

"Just kill a few of them and they will be scared away!"

It's just that Yi Zijia didn't give them this chance.

Just use manpower to drag the six-pound cannons, place them on both sides of the phalanx, and shoot at the opponent's village gate!

These copper cannons were bought from Western cannon-making factories. They are expensive but of good quality.

Wen Rensheng required that the gunpowder must be loaded with three times the gunpowder, and it must be tested three times without exploding before buying it.

If it explodes, thousands of taels of silver will be lost.

One gun is calibrated and two guns are fired.

Under the fire of the well-paid Western gunners, and with the assistance of clever coolies among the refugees, after three rounds, they hit the village gate 200 steps away.

The gate of "Kacha" was directly opened.

A road clogged with large vehicles is revealed behind.

Behind the cart there were several Jurchens holding bows and arrows, all of them old men.

This is the ecology of Jurchens.

The weak ones are placed on the periphery, serving as scouts and cannon fodder.

And they also drive away the more vulnerable packers.

"Keep shooting!" Yi Zijia continued to shout.

Then came two more shots.

At this time, the Jurchens holding bows and arrows had already ran behind the wall next to them.

The shells shattered the cart.

Morale was boosted.

But it didn't cause any damage.

"Sure enough, artillery is best to attack infantry in dense formations. Otherwise, it will be a waste of money. One artillery shell costs dozens of taels."

At this time, they were all pure iron balls. The cost of an iron ball plus gunpowder was only three or four taels, but when transported over long distances, the cost increased a lot.

After all, merchant ships are required to transport them, and merchant ships can create profits.

The sergeant is a complete consumer.

You can only upgrade to an importer unless you are plundering.

"Stop the cannons, the first team of shield soldiers comes forward! The second team of musketeers follows!"

Soon soldiers holding large shields began to move forward in formation.

The musketeers also quickly entered the shield formation, accepted protection, and followed simultaneously.

The large shield is quite heavy, and the soldiers holding the shield also wear triple armor, and their mobility is quite poor.

The shield is tilted, tilted towards you.

The opponent can't even shoot his toes.

They moved forward slowly.

The heavy footsteps, the raised shield, and the approaching distance made the man on the wall tremble all over.

Some were holding short hunting bows, some were holding crude knives and guns, and some were holding farm tools.

The opponent, on the other hand, wore bright armor and a giant shield, and was followed by musketeers.

"Calm down, the Great Khan will send people to rescue us soon and crush all these Nikans!" The one-armed Jurchen had long known that he would die.

But it doesn't matter if he dies, his children are still slaves in Baylor's house, so they can't be harmed.

He was patrolling a section of wall with a knife.

At this time, the shield soldiers were already sixty steps closer.

Before that, someone tried to shoot an arrow, but not surprisingly, the arrow was blocked by the giant shield.

An old Jurchen used a light arrow to throw, which is a four-edged armor-piercing arrow that can be thrown a hundred steps away.

The prerequisite is a prime-age soldier.

He only shot more than 80 steps.

The arrow fell and was directly blocked by the shield soldier.

Shield soldiers are mixed with musketeers.

Basically, one row mixed with the other.

The gap in the middle is about two meters.

Prevent overcrowding and difficulty in changing formations.

After all, this is not the age of flintlocks. The more crowded the better. In the battle line, people are next to each other.

In this case, the rain of arrows can still hurt some people, but the few scattered arrows at this time have no power at all.

At sixty steps, the shields tilted and joined two by two, revealing the shooting holes.

It is a bit difficult to shoot people on the wall through the shooting holes.

But there are 150 people in this team, divided into 5 rows, with 30 people in each row.

That's 30 shots at a time.
