lied to Kangxi

Chapter 352 Cruel Test
"Boys, get on the horse and follow me to kill the enemy!" Celen was also a ruthless person, he got on the horse first, and said to come with me, not to get on me.

Killing the enemy with the king and killing the enemy for the king is a mere word, and the nature is completely different.

Yu Zhu didn't understand cavalry combat, so he simply ignored how Celen commanded the battle.

This is obviously a wise move.

Professional people, doing professional things, is the kingly way.

Yuzhu found that Celen only led [-] cavalry and rushed out of the chariot formation, leaving about [-] cavalry in the camp.

Well, as soon as an expert stretches out his hand, he will know if there is one.The battle reserve team is the basic military quality that any qualified commander should possess.

If Celen was dispatched with all his strength, Yuzhu would have to change his battle plan instead.

Through the binoculars, Yuzhu could see clearly that Celeng's men each carried five small javelins.

Moreover, there was a leather bag hanging on their saddles, which was bulging and obviously contained special short weapons.

Yu Zhu still has confidence in Celen's combat effectiveness.

After all, Celen is the famous god of war in the steppe.In the Yongzheng Dynasty, he once killed more than 3 elites of Junggar in one battle, and made the Junggar people stop for more than [-] years.

After Celeng's men were mobilized, Yu Zhu was not idle, and ordered decisively to form a hollow formation and attack with the whole army.

I saw that Yuzhu's riflemen formed a hollow rectangle, marching in orderly steps, marching towards the enemy without hesitation.

The jade pillar riding on the horse is located in the center of the hollow phalanx, and in front of him is a row of military drummers.

The military drummers beat the snare drum rhythmically according to the previous training.

The soldiers, carrying rifles on their shoulders and stepping on drums, strode forward with high spirits.

The enemies were all stunned by Yuzhu's abnormal behavior!
Nazhan, the county king of Haochite Zuoyi Banner, was very surprised and said: "The Qing army only has so few people, do you want to come and die?"

Xiao Celing Dunduobu shook his head and said, "My lord, you can't underestimate them. Moreover, their number is much larger than before."

When he was in Qinghai, Xiaoce Lingdunduobu suffered a great loss from Yuzhu. The two hundred elite musketeers under him were wiped out by Yuzhu. The lesson was very profound.

This time, when Cering Dunduobu set off, Cering gave him five heavy artillery pieces and three hundred musketeers.

The Junggar Khanate happened to be stuck on the land Silk Road. It did not lack matchlock guns, but it was seriously short of guns.

The artillery brought by Xiao Celing this time is still the captured item from defeating the Raksha devils.

Objectively speaking, it was precisely because of Xiao Celing's muskets and artillery reinforcements that Nazhan had the confidence not to go to Rehe Palace to worship Kangxi.

After Celen led his people out, Nazhan was taken aback, and subconsciously cursed, "Are you looking for death?"

Little Cering Dunduobu shook his head and said, "We have heavy artillery, and they are here for the artillery."

Nazhan thought about it for a while, and then understood that the artillery had not yet been in place, and Celen brought the cavalry to kill him, so he could only send the cavalry to meet the enemy.

When the two armies fought, the artillery lost its use.

Xiaoce Lingdun Duobu sighed heavily, and said: "Yuzhu has improved a lot compared to when he was in Xining. At that time, his troops were extremely dull. This time, he obviously managed to judge the situation. However, his soldiers are too dull. not enough."

"My lord Na, we must stop advancing. We must deploy artillery and shotgun arrays first, and then launch a general offensive after Celen's small cavalry is wiped out." Xiao Ce Ling Dunduobu has long been a famous general in the Zhunbu, and Yuzhu has changed. Formation, he followed suit.

In any case, let Nazhan's people rush forward first, Xiao Ce Lingdunduobu didn't have the slightest psychological pressure.

"Chiju, take your men and chop off Celen's head." Nazhan was also a veteran, and he knew that when Celen's cavalry picked up speed, his men would suffer.

After Chiju got the order, he brought his two thousand cavalry and charged towards Celen's five hundred cavalry aggressively.

Yuzhu's riflemen, stepping on drums, marched at a constant speed, and they couldn't help Celen at all.

Celen looked at Chi Shu who was approaching ferociously, and ordered loudly: "Prepare the javelin." Dozens of soldiers around him shouted in unison.

There is no way, when thousands of horses are galloping, even if Celen shouts his throat, there are very few subordinates who can hear him.

When the Mongolian cavalry hedged, only a fool would order to shoot with a riding bow.

Because the shooting range of the riding bow is far inferior to that of the walking bow. It takes only one round of shooting, and the enemy rushes to the front.

When the two armies were only [-] meters apart, Celen suddenly shouted: "Darts."

"Shua, shua, shua..." Following Celen's first throw of the javelin, the first row of cavalry who followed him also threw javelins into the sky.

"Ah..." Chi Shu's man had already sped up his horse to the top, and was caught off guard by the javelin thrown at him, knocking down more than a dozen people.

"Ah..." The Mongolian warriors who had been hit by the javelin only had time to scream before falling off their horses and being trampled into flesh by the hoofs behind them.

Celen quickly finished throwing the javelin he was carrying, then reached into his leather bag and took out a small throwing axe, and slammed it towards the enemy.

The national power of the Qing Dynasty was at its peak, and Celen's team was equipped with five small javelins and three small hand axes. The weapons and equipment were extremely luxurious.

The Mongols won't hit here. Apart from machetes, they ride bows.

In this way, before the hand-to-hand combat, Chiju's people suffered a big loss. At least a hundred soldiers fell off their horses and were trampled into meat sauce.

The requirements of Yuzhu's countermeasures are actually not high.As long as he desperately entangles the Mongols and does not give the Mongols a chance to fire, it is considered a great achievement.

However, Yuzhu never expected in his dreams that Celen fought five hundred horses against two thousand horses, and as soon as they met each other, they won the battle.

The marching speed of the Yongrui Battalion was slow, and in the spear formation, the jade pillars on horseback could be clearly seen with a telescope.

On Celen's side, the seemingly insignificant javelins and hand axes played a vital role.

The Mongols in Mobei are far less organized and disciplined than the cavalry under Celen.Their battle loss rate was less than one-tenth, and their morale was extremely low. Many people had already turned around and ran back.

With the binoculars in Yuzhu's hand, staring at Celen's back, he said to himself, he deserves to be the super brave prince who once saved the Qing Dynasty!

During the Yongzheng Dynasty, in the battle with Tongbo, the main force of the Qing Dynasty was defeated by the Junggars due to the first defeat of the "parallel imports" Sauron cavalry.If it hadn't been for Celeng's efforts to turn the tide, the Qing court would have been in a state of collapse.

On the other side, Nazhan's nose was almost crooked, and he immediately ordered his confidants to kill Celen with [-] cavalry.

On this side, Yu Zhu had already seen that the enemy had stopped advancing and was fiddling with the five heavy cannons.

However, until now, Yuzhu has no other way but to bite the bullet and command his subordinates to quickly approach the enemy formation.

When the distance between the two armies was 300 meters, the artillery brought by Xiao Celing Dunduobu rang.

"Boom boom boom..." Accompanied by the sound of roaring cannons, two iron bullets, carrying the deadly wind and thunder, slammed into Yu Zhu's team viciously.

"Ah..." The fiery iron bullets broke arms, legs, and intestines at the touch of it. In the blink of an eye, it took the lives of several soldiers and seriously injured more than a dozen soldiers.

During the battle, everyone didn't care about the wounded. When one fell down in the front, the other went up from behind.

Yuzhu's heart was full of misery, but, for a handsome man, kindness does not command soldiers.

When the two armies fought fiercely, casualties were inevitable.

If so, stop to rescue the wounded and let the enemy's artillery fire a few more rounds, the loss will only be greater.

It's all at the moment, if you retreat, the whole army will be wiped out, and Yuzhu can only grit his teeth, commanding his subordinates, and rushing forward.

Just when Yuzhu was worried, the enemy's artillery fired another round.This time, three hot iron bullets smashed into the line of soldiers.

Alas, the scene was horrible, more than [-] officer seeds fell down at once, which made Yu Zhu feel bad.

Fortunately, the loading speed of the enemy's artillery was very slow. When the two armies were more than 100 meters apart, they had already entered the dead angle of the artillery.

At this time, Xiaoce Lingdunduobu led his three hundred Musketeers and approached Yuzhu.

"Come closer." Yuzhu couldn't help secretly heaving a sigh of relief, and ordered decisively.

In such a critical situation, only by fighting close to the enemy can we use melee to destroy or even capture the enemy's artillery.

120 meters, 100 meters, 80 meters...

"Stop moving forward, squat in the first row, half-squat in the second row, and stand up in the third row. Let go in the first row!" Yuzhu gritted his teeth and gave the order to fire first.

Since Yuzhu had no artillery, it was the first time since Yuzhu led the troops that he suffered such a big loss, and his heart was bleeding.

"Papa, papa..." The crisp gunshots kicked off the prelude to revenge.

Facing Xiaoce Lingdunduobu's arquebus soldiers, Yuzhu's flintlock soldiers had the advantages of long range and fast fire rate.

In the first round of volley, Yuzhu lost more than a dozen people, but Xiao Ce Lingdunduobu's people fell down a large area.

"Second row, let it go."

"The third row, let it go."

When shooting at each other, the soldiers of the Yongrui Battalion, ignoring the fallen robes beside them, strictly followed the military order and launched a salvo repeatedly.

When the two armies were shooting at each other, Yuzhu clearly saw his subordinates lying in a pool of blood, but he couldn't order rescue.

The front-loading guns must obey the salvo of the military order, and if the rhythm of the shooting is slightly disrupted, the entire army will be wiped out.

In battle, there will always be partial sacrifices, and a little intolerance will lead to chaos and big plans.

To put it bluntly, when shooting against each other, it depends on whose discipline is stricter and whose salvo is more orderly!
"Papa, papa..." After three rounds of volleys, more than 100 people from Xiao Celing Dunduobu had fallen, and the rest couldn't hold on anymore. They threw down the matchlock guns in their hands, hugged their heads run.

Fear of death is contagious.If there is one, there is the second, the third, the Nth.

Almost in the blink of an eye, the people in Xiao Celing Dunduobu collapsed and turned around.

Yuzhu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, alas, the loss is not small!

During the shootout just now, more than a dozen of Yuzhu's fighters fell down.

However, in the face of brutal shooting, among the soldiers, there was not a single deserter.

This is a model of sweating more in peacetime and bleeding less in wartime!
