Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 883 Wanli's One-style Prestige in the World (Part [-])
Perhaps it was because the area that the Mongols could be shot in was smaller than when they were walking, or it might be that the Ming army was a little afraid of facing the Mongolian cavalry in the charging state. In short, only a dozen people were hit this time—basically All of these can be directly declared dead.

Because if you are shot in this situation, even if you are not fatally injured, you will definitely fall off the horse, and falling off the horse while the horse is running at high speed is like jumping off a speeding motorcycle. It is impossible to count the opponent's own fall to death, it can only be counted on the musketeer's head.

Many of the previous kills were like this, and it was only necessary to count the cavalry who fell from the horse caused by hitting the horse.However, in view of the habits of the Ming army, it doesn't matter that only the last head can be "accounted for".

In this wave of attacks, only a dozen or so cavalrymen were hit, but more horses were shot than before. Nearly [-] horses were shot by Wanli Type [-] muskets.

Unless the power of this gun hits the horse's head directly, it is difficult to kill a war horse directly, at least it can struggle for a while before dying, but that is meaningless, because the knight on the horse will still fall off the horse.

But it should be noted that this kind of uninjured falling from the horse, for the Mongolian cavalry in the combat state, of course, the fall must also fall, but it is not necessarily fatal.

Mongols ride horses all the year round, and the danger after falling off the horse is similar to that of the Han people after spraining their feet. Wrestling is most likely to fall, but falling to death is considered a back point.Like Hannaji in history, it is relatively rare to fall off a horse and die while hunting (he should not have died at the time, but the Mongols have limited medical skills, so the rescue is ineffective).

However, in any case, it is an indisputable fact that the Mongols lost about [-] cavalry in this round of "Shiwuchi" before they achieved the results. This made Xin Ai Huang Taiji who was watching the battle from a distance His face was ashen.

Fortunately, after the Mongolian cavalry changed from Nieerge to Shiwuchi, it was still effective. At least the Ming army also entered their range, and it was within the range of armor-piercing arrows.

"Hoo! Shoo! Shoo!" The sound of arrows piercing through the air resounded within a few breaths after the gunfire.

When the Mongols were killed and injured by the Ming army, because they themselves were under the galloping horses, they could hardly hear the voices of their comrades around them, so the impact on morale was relatively small. At this time, the Ming army was shot by a round of armor-piercing arrows When it comes to baptism, it's much worse.

Musketeers definitely don't pay attention to heavy armor, and the thin cotton armor under the mandarin duck's battle robe obviously does not have much defensive effect when they are shot at such a close range of about 50 meters.

"Ah—" screams suddenly sounded everywhere.

The soldiers of the Ming army who set up the bayonet array in the first row were the most nervous. While maintaining a half-squat position, they curled up as much as possible, hoping to reduce the possibility of being hit by arrows.

But they were overthinking. The Mongolian cavalry had no interest in firing arrows at a group of half-squatting targets, but aimed at the musketeers holding muskets behind them and reloading their ammunition. easy to hit.

After a wave of arrow rain, the Mongolian cavalry separated left and right in a tacit understanding, circled a heart-shaped circle and went back.

What they left behind were more than a hundred soldiers of the Ming army who were injured or killed in battle. Of course, overall, due to the characteristics of the arrows, there were still fewer deaths and more injuries.

Zhang Wanbang, who was supervising the battle on this front, was furious. Seeing that more than half of the musketeers in the third row had finished reloading (the first row of bayonets, the second row had just fired a round of guns), he shouted: "The third row Row, let it go! Fuck their asses for the young master!"

Hmm... Brother Zhang, you are very good at using words.

However, the soldiers of the Ming army were not interested in thinking about the subtlety of the "Major General"'s words, and they raised their guns in anger, aiming at the target they selected and pulling the trigger.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!" Another round of gunfire.

Although the Mongolian cavalry is fast, it still takes a little time to turn the horse's head after all. They were hit by this untidy salvo. About 40 cavalrymen and horses were shot, and the loss was about [-] people. It was not much different when it rushed over before.

Seeing this, Zhang Wanbang shouted: "Okay! Good fight! I won the battle today. In addition to the rewards that should be given, I will give you extra meals, two liang of meat per person!"

These soldiers of the Ming army may also be used to heartlessness, and their anger dissipated when they heard the words, and they were all overjoyed. Only some soldiers from the same hometown looked sad to find the corpses of their fellow villagers, or to care for the injured fellow villagers.

Zhang Wanbang immediately turned his face down, and cursed: "Go to your mother, what are you looking for, are you looking for death? This is the first time you have seen the Mongolian Shi Wuchi? They will come again anytime! I will give it to my mother." Go back to your own position, and run around like a goddamn man, I will chop off your dog legs with one knife!"

But he didn't just scold the soldiers. As soon as the words fell, he turned his head and shouted: "Where is Dr. Huo, please bring two doctors over and tell him that I have over a hundred casualties here!"

There were military doctors in the army of the Ming Dynasty, but compared to the number of soldiers, the number of military doctors was very small.Among them, in terms of the Beijing camp, proportionally speaking, there are only one doctor for [-] soldiers, and one "regimental battalion" has about one medical officer and two doctors.

On the contrary, the ratio of doctors to officers in the frontier army is slightly higher. About 500 people are assigned a doctor. For example, the Qi Family Army, which had a quota of 3000 people in the early years, was equipped with a medical officer, two doctors and a veterinarian.

This is probably because the Beijing camp has a lot of vacancies, and secondly, there are imperial hospitals in central Beijing that can allocate medical staff at any time-the imperial hospitals in the Ming Dynasty did not only provide royal medical care. If there is a need, the emperor will definitely send the Imperial Hospital for support.

Seeing Zhang Wanbang's order, all the soldiers calmed down a little and did not contradict his order, so they hurriedly took their positions again.

Zhang Wanbang wiped off his sweat, and cursed in his heart: son of a bitch, they haven’t fought wars for more than ten years, and all the skills of these idiots have been ruined. Why don’t I remind them, if the Mongols take the wrong medicine and come back again, this one The line must be broken, I don't know what happened to Dad?

He turned his head and took a look, seeing that the defensive line behind him had basically remained unchanged, he was relieved, and thought: It seems that the bet is right, Jinghua's outfit and Qi Nantang's military skills are still easy to use, after these two waves We have killed hundreds of people, and there are probably seventy or eighty dead Tartars, but they also lost dozens of horses... This is Duizi, my Ming Dynasty has a million-strong army, and it is an infantry and horse army, Tartars Certainly not worth it.

It has to be said that Zhang Wanbang's "Duizi Theory" is quite reasonable, because when he was pondering these things, the face of Xin Ai Huang Taiji on the other side was already as dark as the bottom of a pot.

What Zhang Wanbang just dealt with was just one wave of Shiwuchi. In fact, there were three waves of Shiwuchi launched at the same time just now, and the battle damage ratio is basically the same as Zhang Wanbang's situation here.

In terms of the number of people lost in the battle, the Mongolian cavalry was slightly less than the Ming army, but Xin Ai, as a veteran who had fought all his life, not only saw that "combat against Duizi" was extremely unfavorable to him, but also saw another "extremely unfavorable" , that is, the battle damage on the Mongol side is almost all permanent battle damage, that is, the vast majority of battle deaths accounted for, while the Ming army's side directly died very little, and most people were only injured after being shot, while Arrow wound...

Let's put it this way, as long as it is not the unlucky one who was shot in the vitals, the others have a high chance of surviving after receiving treatment, and can reappear alive and kicking in the combat sequence within three months at most.Don’t think that only Western medicine is good at surgery. In fact, Western medicine is good at surgery very late (the church does not allow dissection), but on the contrary, it is Chinese medicine. During the Warring States period, there were medical books specifically for arrow wounds.

Losing big!
This deal is a lost cause!
Xin Ai was so angry that she threw away her whip, and said angrily, "Stop making mistakes! The whole army is assembled and ready to charge!"

Originally, he wanted to rely on riding and archery skills to save some losses, but he found that Baishi Bailing's riding and archery could not deal with the opposite Ming army, which he had not considered at all.

Xin Aichu was furious, and now he planned to take down this Ming army regardless of the casualties!

Hamu said with trepidation: "Abu, why don't we go around, the guys in the hands of this group of Ming soldiers are very difficult, if we go to the battle..."

"You are confused!" Xin Ai was furious, and said, "Since the Ming army can gather 6000 people to use this kind of firecracker today, then in the future, they may become 12 or even more! Just think about it, Can Tumed fight such a battle with the 60 Ming army? What will Tumed have left after the battle? If it’s not [-], is it [-]? It’s [-]!”

"But..." Hamu Du'er lamented weakly in his heart: But if you still throw all the remaining troops here today, what will happen to Tumot in the future?
Xin Ai's face turned serious, and she said sternly: "I have made up my mind, I must completely annihilate this Ming army today, so that the Ming court will think that this new type of firearm is useless."

Ha Muba was silent, sighed in his heart, and thought to himself: Even if it is really done, I'm afraid it may not be useful. This thing must be produced by Jinghua, and Jinghua is so pragmatic. As long as he is there Well, even if the entire Ming army is wiped out, the Ming court may still continue to equip it...

Or the third brother is right, Ma Fang is not scary, Qi Jiguang is not scary, Li Chengliang is not scary, the most scary thing is this high-level pragmatic!
It's a pity that this guy is as cowardly as a mouse, hiding in Shacheng and refusing to show his face, otherwise he would have to be slaughtered even if he was exhausted!
What a pity!
Gao Wushi didn't know that he was being scolded for no reason, but his plan has been relatively smooth until now, so even if he knew he was being scolded, he would be able to do it himself.

However, the real test is coming soon.

The Mongolian army under Xin Ai completed the assembly as quickly as possible. After counting the number of people, Xin Ai found out angrily that hundreds of cavalry were missing in just a few tentative attacks. What made him angry was that the losses of the Ming army on the opposite side were only equal to his.

Shame!
The Tumed warriors, who had stretched across the grassland for tens of thousands of miles, lost one to one against the guards of the Ming army today!
With a cold face, Xin Ai slowly drew out the scimitar from her waist, and shouted with all her strength: "Tumed warriors, the great Genghis Khan is watching you in Changshengtian!"

All the Mongolian cavalry immediately looked solemn after hearing "Genghis Khan", with their heads held high, waiting for Xin Ai Huang Taiji's order.

Xin Ai saw their expressions, and said loudly again: "He will look at you, and use your bravery to tell the Ming people that the Mongols are wolves, and the Han people are sheep!"

The blood of the Mongolian cavalry was surging, and they roared in unison: "Mongols are wolves, and Han people are sheep!"

Xin Ai suddenly pointed forward with the scimitar in her hand, and shouted loudly: "Kill!"

According to Xin Ai's previous instructions, several thousand commanders led the excited Mongolian cavalry forward on horseback, gradually accelerated to the charge speed, and charged towards the seemingly thin bayonet array of the Ming army.

Coincidentally, the breakthrough point they chose was the northern line guarded by Zhang Wanbang.

Zhang Wanbang looked at the large group of Mongolian cavalrymen rushing forward, saying that he was not afraid would be a lie, after all he knew much more "insider information" than the soldiers below.

In the letter sent by Gao Wushi and the exercise code sent by Qi Jiguang, it was clearly mentioned that the horses will definitely avoid the glaring bayonet automatically, but the Mongols are very capable of controlling horses. If you want to force a breakthrough, you can break through the bayonet array after paying heavy casualties.

This kind of situation is not inevitable, and the way to avoid it is actually very simple, that is, to concentrate the artillery bombardment first, to make the opponent's horses frightened, and then become sensitive and timid, not to be controlled by the opponent's cavalry.

But the problem is that this time Zhang Wanbang and the others sent troops in a very urgent time, and because there were still many mountain roads to go after they left the customs, they did not carry artillery.

Because Qi Jiguang was far away, he didn't know the specific tasks that Gao Wushi had arranged for Zhang Bingzhong, Zhang Wanbang and his son, so he didn't have any guidance for this situation.

Gao Wushi gave a solution, but he also confessed in the letter that this solution is just his speculation, and there is no guarantee whether it is really useful, and the father and son need to discuss it themselves.

In fact, Zhang Wanbang didn't have much confidence. He just speculated based on the Mongols' habit of refusing to fight hard for many years. I didn't care about the way.

Unexpectedly, Gao Yushi's crow's mouth would be a prophecy, and Xin Ai really took the wrong medicine and chose to fight regardless of casualties!

Faced with the rushing formation of nearly ten thousand Mongolian cavalry, Zhang Wanbang felt his heart was about to jump out. He didn't know whether it was nervousness or excitement, and he let out a loud roar: "The first, second, and third horizontal teams The task remains the same, the fourth horizontal team abandons the charge and reloads, and prepares for grenade throwing!"

The fourth horizontal team is the last horizontal team. Originally, their task was to form three rows of continuous firepower with the second and third horizontal teams to reduce the gap between firepower. When the shot was fired, it was estimated that the Mongols had already been killed in front of their eyes.

Therefore, the emergency method given by Gao Pragmatism in the combat state without artillery cover is to cancel the burst firing mission of the fourth row and temporarily change to grenadiers!
